There's a whole lot of warmth, support, nurturing and comfort food when you and Cancer get together. Sometimes you find it hard to reconcile what Cancer said today versus what Cancer said yesterday, but that's not always important. You and Cancer can often satisfy each other, in many wondrous ways.

The week leading to a Good Friday cum Easter Weekend
This week, I am rather pleased that all regarding my relationship with Dear had been peaceful and calm despite our episodic quarrels and disagreements during the holiday week.
Monday: 1st day back in school after being away in SOLO.Lost my 2 sets of worksheets for 26th and 27th February, found that one set was with boss, phew. Change of ACT plans, 1E to complete the Problem Solving Package and we are done with ACT. YK’s timetable printed partially on mine, so it is confirmed I’m going to be deployed to cover his reservist. Dear promised to go apply PDL with me on Tuesday after his staff meeting. So sweet right, must give him a “IMPRESSIVE” sticker.
Tuesday: I suddenly felt insecure that I may lose my job anytime because boss advised that I should be open minded to alternative jobs and give up waiting. Talked to Dear about it, thought he'd flare up as I brought up the job issue which I forbade him to bring up ever again. Instead he used a soothing tone and told me not to fret about it. After work we went to apply for the PDL but TP closed already so I had my dinner and Dear watched. Took a cab to thai music. Spent about S$10 to play for 10 minutes. *sighs*
Wednesday: Dear busy, me average. I covered ACT for colleague then to diary farm then to Gamelan. Nothing spectacule about it but I forgot to bring home Dear's red umbrella which I borrowed to get out of school.
Thursday: End of week as this week has GOOD FRIDAY. Had lunch with dear one-to-one. He disclosed that people had asked him about us and he had admitted and requested them to keep it low profile. DOes that mean he has decided he "wants" me for sure already?
Friday: Good Friday was indeed GOOD spending a whole day together with Dear from 11am to 6.30pm. Wow! that's almost like going on a holiday with Dear!
Saturday: Quite hardworking me decided to mop the floor since I've decided that laundry is too little to be done. Taught yangqin and went to ship. A day I survived without Dear.
Sunday: the usual hectic but low pay day. I'd better get out of the vicious cycle and get better money soon. Target: by June 2008.

Term2 Week 1, Good Friday
First week of term 2. Quite a roller coaster but I am glad it is finally over and I can look forward to a whole day with Dear dear today on Good Friday’s holiday.
Today we went to airport terminal three, we haven’t been there though we wanted to when it first had its open house. Hopefully it will be fun and we can find nice food to eat. Ate at swensens at T2.
Anyway I really appreciated the fact that Dear finds time whenever he can to spend with me. I am now rather tired to go into the details, having a slight migraine since thursday afternoon.
I am considering if I should hold a party/gathering for my birthday during one of the weekends near it. Any ideas? Should be fuss free and fret free, and no worries at all about everything. Maybe someone should help me organising people and food. Ideas Please!!!(yeah I know my birthday is still 37 days away)

What colour is my heart? (another Facebook Quiz)
You Have A Blue HeartA person with a Blue Heart is an emotional person. Such people make affectionate lovers and are usually sensitive and are cautious drivers. They are introspective, reflective and have a primary concern for self.
What instrument am I?
Did this quiz on Facebook cos I was so bored:
Violin
You are at the 'top' of your game. you are generally very popular and sociable. You like talking to people, and having debates and such. You are very intelligent; and sometimes these debates make you look very pompus. Try not being to 'stuck-up' because you are very emotionally unstable and might need a shoulder to cry on. Violins often trap themselves into situations and have no TRUE friends to lean on, this is where we get such sad melodies. Try being genuine and honest with a few people and build strong meaningful relationships. You are definitly a socialtie and sometimes a heavy drinker. Don't make a fool of youself party-animal!

Back to normal routine
Alright, had a thrashing out with Dear last evening, sorted things out a little to a point we can accept to leave them for the next couple of months. Conclusion: we love each other and want to make this relationship as smooth as possible.
So here's the proof that he has understood my job status and my plans and has agree to leave them this way till the contract is ending. I shall use this entry as evidence that we have been through the settling, just in case he starts all the going back and repeating the same case which had been closed.
Today I'll be taking my Basic Theory for Driving Test. Hope I can pass it in one attempt and get on with the practical lessons which I had hoped to reach a substantial stage in weeks 3 and 4 of the June holiday considering that I'd probably give myself a break from driving to prepare for the SYCO concert. Ideally by next year's Chinese New Year I would have attained my driving licence.
After the Test would be a trip to diary farm then to NUS. Everything is back to the normal weekly schedule again. WIll also snail mail the MPM training report so that it does not get dragged further.

Irritated...
Yesterday went out with Dear for lunch despite my serious flu plus the heavy rain.
I just don't get it why the issue of a stable job keeps coming from him. It is true that it is important that I have a stable job, but I find that he is pushing his luck too far and I cerainly do not agree with some of the phrases he used on me, for instance:
"Hopefully if you find a stable job, you will be more mature with the stability."<--- someone give me more insights, I don't really see the connection between growing mature with a stabilised job
I love working in a school (although there are people trying to put me off with their dreadful experiences), and I don't really see why being a long term (almost contracted) relief teacher is so far off by my Dear's standard of holding a stable job.
With more jobs having the nature of contracted as opposed to the life-long stick-to-it style of the past, I see my current job not too far off from a 9 month's contract of 7 hours 5 day week job without paid leave (I still can apply unpaid leave and keep my position which I have just did for my Solo Trip) nor medical benefits.
Isn't that a mature enuff choice to plan my route to get into nie from there, as in you know recommendation and all that, if I want a letter, I need to stay put and not appear unstable at my job, but he is always making noise abt stability and that makes me very unstable at work.
When i tell him my plan he says it's sensible and sounds logical but after some time he will bring the issue up and claim that i dun have a plan for myself, after repeating a few times i get v tired of it.
I felt so hurt when he proclaim that frankly he isn't sure if we will end up together and he is still thinking of he is asking too much of me for certain things. Yet on the other hand he says that I accuse him unfairly of things he never asked me to do and I did them because I was stupid (for example I made use of the flexibility of tuition to make our outing more pleasant without having a tuition to attend to in the middle of a nice cosy lunch) and that he didn't ask me to do that. Furthermore he went on to say that the future is uncertain (which I'd agree in most context of life), we may end up together because he have decided to love and accept me wholeheartedly, or it may also be because he has no one else and have decide to stick around with me for companion. I thought I had been the one who was reluctant to accept that he is below my expected ideal criteria and took almost a year to teach myself love him more wholeheartly. Now that I have almost given 100% and decided not to look for more options he is telling me if I think he is not good I can look for better candidates. It makes me feel that my efforts to tame myself to stay by him has all been wasted and foolish.
I certainly think that all these have at least a minute part to do with men's ego. He doen't really know what he want and cannot face it when things are a bit stormy. If he were 100% sure of what he is really looking for he would be able to list out something like an ideal list and we can work out together what we each can accomodate and what we are each willing to accept and make do with. I don't really want to label him as immature since I am much younger than him I do not really have the basis to do that.

Back from SOLO city
I was down with fever at 37.7 degree celcius and having body aches once I reached home yesterday. So slept the whole time, waking up for a nice hot bitter gourd fish soup cooked by mummy. So scared I got degue, but this morning when I measured with the thermometer its 36.2 degree celcius, so I guess I am ok now.
The 8-days trip was marvellous, other than the mosquitoes and the lice in the carpets and all other things that make me itch, the place is just so relaxing.
I didn't buy as much as I thought I would, I am attributing it to the fact that I didn't really have time to do the homework of reading up about the city in general so I was unable to think before hand what I want to buy, hence I missed most of the good buys, spending time thinking if I should buy this if I should buy that.
Nevertheless, I still bought quite some stuffs:
1 Wayang Golek (wooden puppet)
1 Wayang Kulit (Leather/Skin Puppet) with the "prawn hair" He is called Arjuna, the good guy.
4 batik dresses(not super nice, the lowest quality ones, cheap enough to use as PJs), 3 skirts, 3 pieces of batik sarongs, 1 batik shirt for my dad, 1 batik blouse for myself(so disappointed I didn't find many that fit.
4 pairs of shoes: 2 pairs from BATA at 79,900 and 2 pairs from PGS beside Beteng at 35,000 each.
1 pair of silver earings, tulip shape, dangling type
3 brooches with bling blings, 1 hair clip with bling bling.
1 Jaipong CD 25,000 rupiah only
There I had 2 Gambang lessons with Pak Padi which was quite good. As a group we watched so many Gamelan and dance performance at the Mankunegaran Palace that I lost count.

We watched a wayang there and also another at someone's wedding. Supposedly the groom is a student/graduate from the arts academy so his friends and teachers were invited/hired to put up a wayang kulit show for his wedding. So sad that most people didn't want to stay longer because they can't understand Javanese. Neither could I, but I still enjoy the beautifully crafted puppets and the dalangs who beautifully move them around.
We also watched Wayang Orang at Sriwedari, which is Wayang acted by humans:
