It is tough to narrow to ten countries, after all there are so many places that I'd love to visit. So far, I have only been to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. And honestly, I wouldn't mind traveling to these places again if I have a chance. So right now, my top ten list will be those countries that I have never been before:
USA
Europe
Japan
Greece
Egypt
Taiwan
Sweden
Holland
Mauritius
Brunei
- Scientist
- Broadcast Journalist
- Teacher
- Graphic Designer
- Chemist
- Pharmacist
- Cartoonist
- Librarian
Well, I can't think of any. And I regret to say my current job isn't even listed on it. Hmph! LOL. However, I would like to write full-time when I retire one day.
OK, I'm a little late this week. But it's always better to be late than never eh? Anyway, here they are - my favourite vacation pictures. (Believe me, I have difficulty choosing amongst them!) They were all taken by the hubs. The pictures taken in Germany was from his business trip some years back.
Germany
Guangzhou - China
Note: That's me & my mother-in-law in the background Hong Kong Disneyland
Hmm...this week's topic surely brings back all the memories (both good and bad)! :)
- Encountered something spooky in the restroom
- Got 2nd place in an essay writing competition
- Started to have pimples!!!
- Being rejected by the principal when we (all the arts students) requested to take Chemistry/Physics instead of Human & Social Biology as a Science subject
- We were making Swiss Rolls for a Home Economics test and I mixed up the ingredients (I mixed eggs and flour instead of eggs and sugar! Without a doubt, I did this badly. LOL!)
- A classmate appeared on a local teenage magazine (it was like having a 'star' in the school! Hehe.)
- Sitting for GCE 'O' Level Examinations (S-T-R-E-S-S-F-U-L!)
- Been a volleyball player, St. John's Ambulance cadet and librarian for the school Extracurricular activities (quitted volleyball and St. John's after 2 years subsequently...too hectic, but missed the fun!)
- First crush (he was also in the St. John's Ambulance)
- School discipline (skirts should be kept at knee-length and long hair should be tied)
Some of them are job-related, so not much I can do about it. Hmph!
Doing stuff at the last minute (Urgh!)
Proofreading
Ironing clothes
Vacuuming/Spring cleaning
Sorting old stuff
Filing of documents
Queuing at the bank
Scrubbing toilet bowls (Yucks!)
Answering nuisance phone calls
- Rushing things
Ten on Tuesday
- Liver
- Brussel sprouts
- Crab sticks (I love crabs, but definitely not in sticks! Moreover, they aren't 100% crabmeats anyway!)
- Raw celery
- Jellyfish
- Clams
Hmm...I wish I can list more but I can't think of any, moreover I love food! LOL.
Ten on Tuesday
So I have classifed them in dialogues and in general, hehe.
Dialogues
1. “I’m late!!!” (If the alarm clock doesn’t go off)
2. “Can you stay late today?” (Uh oh...not some last minute stuff)
3. “I’m sorry, but you have got to go.” (In other word, you are being laid off!)
4. “OMG, I have forgotten to pay the bills/taxes!” (Don't happen often...but I do tend to have a short memory at times)
5. “They are fighting, again!” (The in-laws will complain about my 3 year-old daughter and her nephew who's 8 months older squabbling over toys and food; there are times they will bite each other on the arms!)
6. “I don’t want to go to school!” (Some years down the road, I worry my daughter will shriek about this)
7. “I’ve flunked my exams!” (Some more years down the road when she is schooling...and the list goes on)
General8. Health problem (You can never take health for granted, even though you are healthy!)
9. Environmental problem (One of the major problems we face around the world)
10. Terrorists Attacks/War (Ditto)
Guangzhou - China
