Finally got hold of my Wii Console Set, of course with some damages done to the pcokets. But who cares, I work, I earn and I spent. (However, I signed card - Play 1st, pay next month). But some eldery at home does not seem to be agreed with my acts I suppose hence ended up my son got some comments from one of them stating "What so nice to PLAY and PLAY too long." Ended up he is so sad and packed the stuffs. Too much right? Now his school is almost over cannot play? What kind of logic is that. Anyway I cannot stand my son being deprive of playing, so I am going to HOOK on to the TV and PLAY my game tonight with my son. Let's see if anyone comments me. Hehe I do not really understand why we want to deprive children of PLAYING, they do learn through PLAY what, at least that's what those experts out there who research and claims to so.
Actually at the game store, I am also tempted to grab XBOX too as it is on offer. Think if I am to bring back 2 different games sets home, I wonder who would got a earful - my hubby, my son or me? Anyway, another commented that I overheard was "Thought they have a game set at home?". Hello, it is totally different ok - PS2, as some gamers out there commented outdated toy which I agrees as I have it for about 8/9 years already. Upgrade ok course, else why so many people also upgrading in so many areas of their lives - housing, cars, living standard, Computers parts etc. Thinking process required.
Back to my new gadget, I love Mario Brothers game since young hence that why I am keen on Wii over XBOX. :P With the game set it comes with Wii Sports, very basic one. But at least now I do not need to go to the Tennis court to embarass myself and play under the HOT sun. Now I can play with virtual person at the comfort of my living hall. Quite good, it is also a form of exercise for me. My son is into bowling game, which he did far better than me in this. Not too bad, at least he did jump abit when he strike. hahah. Last but not the least, I told my hubby to get himself another set of controllers, so we all no need to share the 2 sets and can played together - Family bonding..hahaha.
My son have been pestering to set up the tree and guess what he had been calling it "X - mas" tree!. Since when it is called X-mas or pronouce that way? I am thinking if we have been using too many short form.
Here is the tree setup by him alone except me tying the biege ribbon to the tree.
it has been a long long time since I had Long John Silver breakfast. Think the last time i had it is on a SAT working day in the far far ulu place on the west side of the little red dot. Anyway, I had it today with my family... damage for LJS breakfast is $10.40.
After this we went off to do supermarket shopping for ingridents. Initially is to cook fishball noodles one for lunch, ended up with Poached Salmon since now it no longer sold in IKEA and we got the sauce from there as well the last time we are there. It stated for the meatballs, luckily it turn out not so lor..Cheeze sauce. This is the end-product we cooked just now:
Took a day leave to attend the meeting parent session instead. Initial plan is suppose to be just my hubby attending only ended up thinking since do not want to bother my mother-in-law to takecare of my son, so i decide to bring him out after the event. Guess what go con by my hubby as usual, MEETING again.. cannot wait for the our turn, need to go now.. Urgh... sorry to say I really HATE his work and altitude lor. After the meeting, we go to the canteen to source for tea-break, had a bun and a FunChoy. Checked with the Security guard how to get to the mrt station or habour front from the school. Hey, got a answer for direct bus no 61. Good meaning I can at least rest abit on the journery, but not as I am granted. Somehow alot of old people on the bus and started to cough quite badlly for 1 old man seating in front of us, therefore we changed our seats.
Reached Vivo City slightly before 12pm and we started to source for our lunch.
Seems that got quite a few resturants having lunch promo, but to cut cost we ended up in Kopitiam having his favourite - Pepper Lunch Express, Salmon one.
Next we proceed to take a train ride to Sentosa. Saw IR development progress and really made me think they can operate on time or not. :P
He really knows his way and bring me to HOT & COLD places lor. At the end of the excurison trip, I am down with slight headache. We proceeds to vivoCity to look for snacks and ended up a fried vegetable pie, a bowl of soy curd with soy milk and 2 cans of the potatoes chips which is on promo in GIANT @ 2 for $4.80.
To get to Jurong Point, we took NE line and as usual my son likes to be in the 1st cabin and he commented he never took NE line before. Hence ended up that we took a few more extra stations before U-turned back to the NE-EW line exchange station to head our way home to BoonLay. Finally at BonaVista we decide to take a nap and all the way until BoonLay Mrt station. We went JP to develop some photos @ 19 cents per pieces (4 Nov 09 is the last day of promo) and NTUC EXTRA as the request of my darling. Guess he is really energetic. We only decided to end our day at 5pm when hubby called to inform that my mother-in-law needs to go to my sis-in-law's place and we needs to be at home by 1730Hrs.
I had a very bad headache last night and trying hard to fall asleep despite of a tiring day. Now at least I have recovered, but still got slight block nose. Hope will self recover soon.

Staying motivated isn't always easy no matter what you are trying to accomplish. Whatever it is that you are trying to get motivated to do, there are a few tips that can help. You can stay motivated to accomplish almost any goal.
# 1 Visualize and imagine your goals
- When you have the ability to see your goals and imagine what the end result will be, you are more likely to stay motivated.
- You may feel more motivated by a picture of what you are working towards or need a daily visual reminder.
- By keeping a visual picture in your mind and imagining yourself at your end result, you can stay motivated to accomplish any goal.
# 2 Reward and treat yourself
- Staying motivated can be easier if you take the time to reward and treat yourself when you reach small milestones along the way.
- Knowing that there is something good along the way to your goal will help keep you excited about achieving your goal and you will stay motivated.
# 3 Set small goals and take a break
- Whether you are working towards saving money for a new house or trying to eat healthy to lose a few pounds, set small goals for yourself and take a break every once in awhile.
- By setting small goals, you will not feel too overwhelmed at one time.
- You can work on each step that will equal to big results in the end. Also, if you do get overwhelmed, take a break.
- Achieving your goals will not happen overnight. If you feel frustrated, take a day off and rethink your plans.
# 4 Prove them wrong and impress others

----------------------------------
Afternote comment: Take a step back and look at myself, frankly i find these are all theories in book. Think most people look at $$ factor as a form of motivation and reward at the end of the day, if not for $$ sake and livinghood do you think one would bother to get up early out of the cosy bed and struggle himself to report work at 830am and take to stay awake towards to the end of the day? If not for $$, working mum would rather have more time for family as well.. enjoy breakfast with children, send children to school and play with them in the afternoon.
However, for point 4 to prove to others, my thinking is why bother what ours think of you. You should be living for your ownself and not others. Likewise for point 6 , to compare with others, we can learnt from others, but not to compare as most time after comparison you might get even demoralised to work on the things. Example, at times when people comment why so-and-so can stay in such a big house, driving big car where I am still cramp in a little nest - ask yourself, today you have at least a little nest to stay whereas some do not even have.. So do you still want to compare? Just be content and happy with whatever you have achieve, stretch abit more to do abit more for yourself and family, but do not sour the family relationship or in expense of family time.
Finally got chance again to hold the lanterns for the mid-autum. :)
Last time before I had my son, I used to bring my little cousin to the Bishan Park to play, but they are more interested in the playground than the lanterns then.
Now all grown up liao. This year I got 3/4 free paper lanterns. :)
Have been very hardworking doing exercise..hahah
On one of my trip, i saw this bright green thing on the tree. Initially I thought it is a string, when closed up look..my gosh..it is actually a snake.
Happy taking some photo and when shown to parents & in-laws got some "scolding". As it is a very poisonious snake. So beware next time if you happen to come across it and not like me blur blur one. Thank god we are safe and sound.
