ok. this is gonna be a long post! the pics!! i haven uploaded them for ages already...

hazel's hand and mine. who's whose? mine has the star with more dots. we got the chop when we wanted to enter the annex for the NJRC finals today! my first NJRC medal ever. yay. we won the judges award!! aaah!! so happy. haha. the long wait was worth it afterall!
grandma's bdae on wednesday. i forgot about it until my aunt smsed me at 7.15pm when i was on my way to jp for dinner with hazel. and told me to be there by 8.15pm. and in the course of one hour, we had dinner, and i shopped and bought a rose for my grandma and made a card. not bad eh?


my cousin nicholas and my grandma cutting the cake! she's 62 this year!!=) prime of her old age, if that's what u call it. :) i love my GRANDMA!!
ok. see the two pics below? its really sad. i was da bao-ing lunch for the juniors while they're busy prepping for NJRC and i saw this. lunchtime. and this old aunty who's about 65-70 years old chopping garlic. GARLIC. and there's a whole basket of garlic next to her already. who knows how long has she been doin it... its kind of saddening. so old already, yet doing this for a living. and there are 2 young shopowners in the shop chatting away. leaving her to work. not even providing her with a proper chair. not giving her gloves to wear lest she cut herself.
is this really what our society's evolved to becoming? are the youngsters nowadays so uncaring and cold? cant they just cut it themsleves? fine. its the old lady's job. and that's what she's being paid for. but look at this condition. its shocking. and chicken rice aunty say that she's paid like $3.00 per hour. or was it per basket i dont remember.

saddening isnt it?=( ppl, its time we revist those values that rooted our society and reflect.
