Yay, the holidays are here but here I am slogging myself to courses and workshops. My holidays are fully booked till tis Saturday, waaaa!!!
The first three days from Monday to Wednesday, it's for a MSD training programme. It is so damn gruelling. The first day we had to do running, jumping, leaping and all sorts of physical exercise that your kid will enjoy and you will whine about. Today seems a bit more relazed but still grueling. Learning about different techniques of throwing. For those of you who dont know or never realise, there are many ways of throwing an object. The trick is getting your three to six year old to master the techniques....seriously though, the lecturer told us later on that guys are much more superior in all kind of sports due to their natural physique...but in one particular sport, women and men are very much equal. Know what it is?
Anyway, came home everyday with aching back and legs. Tomorrow we gonna learn about catching techniques and other various manipulative skills. It is kind of fun and kind of gives me the exercise that my body yearns for...
The other days till Saturday, my workshop will be at Singapore Poly...an international conference regarding early childhood education...there goes my holidays, all burnt up. And I just got to know even my June holidays gonna get burnt up. The first week of June is for the MSD training program (continuation) and the second and third week will probably be the Integrated curriculum training. 'sigh'....
Herman just got his driving license and this Saturday, he is drive us around. Rent a car and he seems excited and I am worried for very obvious reasons.

Yesterday Memories
Last Saturday, Shadiq brought over the HMS book and ask us the whats and whos in the book. This started us on the path of memories....
We went through Shadiq's baby pics and how I still remember holding him in my arms, small and cuddly, cooing and bubbling with laughter, tears and smelling of milk and all sorts of baby-smell...now he is the big bro, looking so mature and though the babyish streak is still there, we still adore him as our firstborn baby...he is the darling of the family.
Lil bro is the sweetheart of the family. Going thru his baby pics, we remember most how 'soft' his cries are and how fragile and tender he looked. Apparently he 'shed' off his babyish streak faster than big bro was and he is also much more louder in terms of crying and shouting.
Then we started to go thru the wedding pics...aaahhh how time flies, its already 5 years into our marriage and there is still this long road ahead of us...Herman just turned 31 and he looked so much more older then...we talked about our first date and how we meet, the friends we have and the things we went through together.
Then I pulled out my pics and it got me even more remorseful...how I missed those days, going for practice, making new friends who shared the same interest and passion as me, performing on stage (glory days at Victoria)....now I still got offers and invites to perform but its a big NO from Herman. How I spent so much time at practice that Herman practically declared to everybody his fiancee doesnt need him anymore. Those days are my most memorable and it was really an exciting moment for me..its like something that you wanted so much and never wanted to let go.
My biggest regret was not being able to dance for this show (cant quite remember now) coz I got married and was pregnant with Shadiq then. But I nearly cried when I watched the performance later...even now any performances would set me thinking back of those times. Well, we have our moments right and this is mine.
'sigh' but no point crying for the yesterdays. What is important is now, what I have now and what we are building for the kids....we have our memories, our regrets but that is all in the past and what matters most is the present and what we dont know is the future...
