To Do or Not?!? Just Do It!!!

TO DO OR NOT?!? After all the dilemma, MooMoo decided and have signed up today.  There's no more turning back.  Just do it!!! Wish MooMoo all the best of luck! :p

Over the weeks, MooMoo have been thinking and considering, whether to sign up for the "Pilates Instructor Training Course" at her gym or not, as it is not cheap.  It is SGD1K for the whole course, taking up 6 weekends.  Pay $$$ and must sacrifice weekends too.  Haha. 

Lately, MooMoo have been quite into Pilates and have been trying to go to the classes to practise more frequently.  MooMoo have changed her working hours from '09:00 till 18:00' to '0830 till '17:30'.  Therefore, she is able to rush to Pilates classes at 19:45 on Mondays and 18:40 on Tuesdays.

MooMoo wanted to take up the course to have more knowledge on Pilates but the part on the instructor teaching, she will think about it again.  Hahaha.  She will have to overcome her stage fright in order to be an instructor. 

In order to complete the course,  I need to do the following, in a total of 76 hours:
1) 36 hours - Theory, Educational, Instructional, Practical and Supervised Teaching of Pilates
2) 20 hours - Self Practise and Observation
3) 10 hours - Teaching
4) 10 hours - Home Project Work and Assignments

Item no. 3 will be a challenge to MooMoo and she have to complete the teaching hours within 1 year form the completion of the course, in order to obtain the full certification.

Hope the SGD1K will not go to a waste.  Hahaha.  The course will start after Chinese New Year, from 2 March till 7 April 2013.  MooMoo's looking forward to her 1st class but a bit kan chiong also.  GANBATTE!!!

"Cai Sen Ye" Balloon Sculpting

MooMoo went to Punggol CC for "Cai Sen Ye" balloon sculpting class today.  "Cai Sen Ye" also known as God of Wealth.  She got an invitation from the teacher she met previously.  All she have to do is just to register for the class and pay $3 for the materials.  It was suppose to be a 2 hour class from 7-9pm but MooMoo only left around 10:30pm and she could not finish her balloon sculpture in class.  It was more challenging than expected.  Haha!!

Material provided... slight difference from previous "Santa" pack as there's bigger balloons...

Started out with making a face with the beard...

Making the "Cai Sen Ye" hat was quite tough with the decorations at the top and the sides...

Adding the eyes... but haven't draw the eyeballs... haha...

The big balloons '360S'... much bigger compare to '260S'... (FYI: 260S means 2 inches wide, 60 inches long and S=Sempertex, which is the brand; 360S means 3 inches wide and 60 inches long)

Then, we proceed to make the shoes... some parts MooMoo just simply 'goreng' already....

Here's the red clothings, plus the hands...

Finally, this is MooMoo's product... but unfinished yet... it's time to go home...

Check this out! MooMoo's teacher's creation and MooMoo's creation.  Hahaha!  So obvious right... and MooMoo's one cannot be "Cai Sen Ye" yet coz no Gold... poor "Cai Sen Ye"....

MooMoo finished it off when she reached home... to add in the gold sleeves and the gold...  Need lots of practise to get everything right and to improve further... ^=^

MooMoo had trouble making the "Cai Sen Ye" red clothings as the class were quite big and most of them are quite experienced.  MooMoo could not really follow the class well as teacher was busy and could not check out the whole class.  Luckily, this girl I met was very friendly to teach me how to finish  off the remaining parts.  Thanks to her I manage to have a nice gold piece.  The gold piece is really challenging to make.  You need to use a small little round balloon and a small heart shape balloon.

Initially, this is how the "Cai Sen Ye" we are suppose to make... much more simple but teacher went to improvise to make it nicer and it became more complicated.  Hahaha!  Anyway, it was a fun learning experience.  

* MooMoo felt much better after sweating it out in 2 gym classes today.... Seems like Mr. Fever is gone... Yippeeee!!! ^=^

Surprise Gift for MooMoo ^=^

On the 1st day of work in year 2013, MooMoo found a surprise gift on her table.  MooMoo were suppose to be on MC but she decided not to take MC on her 1st day of work in 2013.  The night before, she could not zZz at all as she had high fever and splitting headache.  Well, at least there's something to brighten her day on her 1st day of work.  Haha!

MooMoo could not really make out the spelling of the name of the person who gave MooMoo the present.  Anyway, MooMoo can't think of anyone that give her this present but she is happy to receive it as it is cute with bright colours.  Thank you very much, whoever you are!!! ^=^

MooMoo's 1st Thermometer

MooMoo have never personally owned a thermometer herself but starting from last year, she had owned not only 1 but 2 thermometers.  One is self bought because scolded by a doctor and another is a Christmas present from Ms. Mo.  I wonder receiving a thermometer as a present is a jinx or not?!?  Hahaha... just kidding, Mo as MooMoo do not believe in all these pantang rules.  Anyway, it had a cute COW face on top of the thermometer.

Cow thermo from Ms. Mo

MooMoo's own plain thermo from Guardian

Let MooMoo tell you how she got her 1st thermometer.... it was like couple of months back when MooMoo 1st got her fever and she visited the doctor at Raffles Medical.  It was the 1st time meeting the doctor and MooMoo was like freezing cold on the outside and burning hot on the inside.  That time, she was having high fever.

Doc: What happen to you?

Moo: Fever... *cough cough...

Doc: Hmm... look that side... don't come so near... (while he wanna check temperature) Wahh... so high the temperature... must not infect me... I'm old dy... cannot take it... not like you still young...

Moo: O... K... *really feel like giving him the death stare.... dunno what kinda doc behave this way....

Doc: How come you never measure your own temperature?!?

Moo: Err... I don't have a thermometer... that is why I'm here to see the doctor....

Doc: How can one not have a thermometer at home?!? Every Singaporean should have a thermometer...

Moo: Err... I am not a Singaporean.

Doc: Issit ah.... (look at my NRIC and name on the medical card) But you're an 'S'.... (referring to my NRIC 1st digit)

Moo: Yea... hahaha.... * really feel like telling him.... you're an 'ASS'... but no energy to argue any further... just wanna get my MC and go back to sleep....

After the doctor visit, MooMoo went to Guardian to buy herself a thermometer and keep checking her temperature to make sure it go down.  She asked her Singaporean friends... well not everyone have a thermometer at home. :p  Guess if they have a kid, they will have a thermometer on standby.

After getting the thermometer, MooMoo have been diligently using it.  OMG!!! It's not a good thing after all.  She had fever towards the end of the year to end year 2012 and she got Mr. Fever knocking on her door again on the 1st day of New Year... till now. = (((

MooMoo hope she will say bubye to Mr. Fever soon as it is already the 4th day.  Highest temperature went up to 39.2 and it had been lingering up and down from 37.7 to 38.3.  Luckily, physically MooMoo still feel fine.  May GOD bless me to get through this and be healthy and well throughout the rest of the year.

* MooMoo is so looking forward to tomorrow night to do the 'Cai Sen Ye' balloon sculpting... ^=^

MooMoo loves DAISO

MooMoo loves DAISO a lot.  She can spend quite some time lingering at the shop and trying not to buy anything.  Hahaha!  Anyway, MooMoo thinks that most of the stuff there is a good buy for $2 and it is quite durable.  For instance, MooMoo had bought this hand charge torch from Daiso about 8 months ago, to utilise it in Tibet.  It is a really cool gadget where it does not require any batteries.  You just need to recharge it by releasing the side bar and keep pressing it a few times with your hands, in order to store the power to be used for many days.

The other day, MooMoo went to soak her backpack without checking thoroughly on all the pockets of the backpack.  The torch was inside one of the small pocket and it was soaked together overnight.  When MooMoo rinse the backpack, she realised about the torch and quickly took it out to dry at the sun.  Amazingly, it is still working now!!!  FYI, this torch is not waterproof.  Haha. Thumbs Up!!! ^=^

* Guess sometimes quality does not really have to be determined by the prices we pay... but of course, we cannot expect super quality stuff with super cheap price...  things have to be reasonable as well... Haha!  ^=^
