it has been a horribly long time since i last blogged!

well its the holidays now.

exams are finally over.

it turns out i didnt do very well for ugc(world civilizations).

but it doesnt really affect me cos i'm really bad at civilizations.

so i am praying very hard that the rest of my grades will be decent.

cos i cant afford to let my gpa drop anymore!

ok enough whining about school.

i've been working the past few days.

i miss working with children.

even though some of them are really naughty/mischevious.

it's nice knowing that they still remember me!

they come to me and tell me how much they miss me.

they're all soooooooo cute!

sometimes i wish i did early childhood education.

but then again i am pretty happy with what i'm doing now (:

it has been so long since i met jere and gang.

i cant wait for the 19th!

i miss you guys so much!

i was looking at the photos we took a while ago.

no joey though.

and another one!

without qiuxuan this time.

CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY!

it seems that the following days wil be filled with christmas treats!

so i have to work extra hard to get presents for people.

but the thing is that i cant stand shopping when there's so many people around.

i will think of a solution to that.

and i'm going overseas soon!

so many things to look forward to!

(:

and somehow i cant wait for school to start.

COS i cant stand being so cooped up at home.

time is once again passing by sooo quickly.

sometimes i feel that i'm not enjoying myself enough.

i feel so buried under all the work and unneeded stress.

i hate it when i give myself unneeded stress.

i have to complete my research paper by monday.

i have to write like 8 pages and i'm only at 2.

i'm so so so so so so so so so so so screwed.

i still have to study for my japanese class tmr.

i shouldn't be wasting time blogging.

but then again i dont feel like doing my research paper.

i hate citing, quoting, paraphrasing.

troublesome.

BUT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

once next week is over, there will be no more work for english!

and no more english for the rest of my studies here!

YAY!

I'VE NEVER FELT SO ANGRY BEFORE!

AHHHHHHH!

some people just like to take things for granted.

some people just dont learn to treasure the chances given to them.

some people just dont seem to realise that they are at fault.

some people just dont realise that they are so SCREWED UP.

i hate it when people make use of me.

i hate it when i am accused of something i didnt do.

well this time i get accused for NOT DOING SOMETHING THAT I DID.

it would be alright if it was just a small matter.

BUT MY GRADES ARE CONCERNED!

and i totally HATE people who try to ruin my grades.

i dont understand how people can be SO ungrateful.

if i didnt remind you, you wouldnt have done it.

if i didnt care, i wouldnt have asked you to do it.

AHHHHH!

i dont understand why this is happening.

shouldnt people our age be more responsible?

and you're actually older than me!

i cant believe i thought that you were nice.

i cant believe i was so nice to you!

and this is how you repay me.

I CANT BELIEVE THIS.

you are going to get what you deserve.

JUST WAIT AND SEE!

it seems that everything is going down.

but i guess things will get better.

i will be optimistic.

VERY optimistic.

i was almost late to class today.

i was practically running up to the 3rd floor.

i will not leave the house late again.

it's horribly tiring.

i watched house bunny on wednesday.

it wasnt as nice as i thought it would be.

but i enjoyed the company!

and i will make sure we meet next week val!

I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!

because i'm tired.
because i didn't do my best.
because i didn't put in the effort i'm supposed to.
because i took time for granted.
because i'm too easily distracted.
because it seems that i'm not moving any closer to my goal.
because i'm losing track of what i want.
because i know i'm not going to do well.
because i know that isn't supposed to be the case.
because i can't stand smiling and laughing when i don't feel it inside.
because i can't pretend any longer.
because i demand too much from myself.
because i want to prove something to myself.
because i hate falling behind.
because i hate to disappoint.
because i feel empty inside.
because shopping isn't helping.
because i'm losing it.
because it's all my fault.

that's why.

She had been rocking herself back and forth, fighting the tears that threatened to fall, swallowing the lump that threatened to rise in her throat, forcing back the thoughts that threatened to drown her mind. It felt as though she were fighting everything right now. ... She felt she was always fighting, fighting, fighting. And now, here she sat, fighting her very own emotions.

She felt as if she had been through a hundred rounds in the ring, as if she'd taken every punch,thump, and kick her opponents could throw at her. Now she was tired. Her muscles ached, her defense was falling, and her wounds weren't healing so quickly.A cat leaped from the high wall that separated Elizabeth from her neighbours and landed in her garden. It glanced at Elizabeth, chin held high, eye glowing in the darkness. It slowly walked across the grass, without a care in the world. So sure of itself, so confident, so full of its own self-importance. It jumped onto the opposite wall and disappeared into the night. She envied its ability to come and go as it pleased, without owing anybody anything, not even those closest who loved and cared for it.

it's almost the end of the month!

time is flying past so quickly but i'm glad it is!

many many things are happening.

i really cant stand this time of the semester.

mid terms are stressful.

and it's kinda scary that i'm not exactly prepared for it.

boo.

i dun like comms.

but i'll have to start loving it in order to pass it!

ok enough about school.

i was reading MERCY by jodi picoult.

i was close to tears.

i cannot imagine my myself killing the person whom i love the most because that person is suffering from a terminal disease.

but when i think about it, if i'm the person who is dying from that terminal disease i would not want to endure all the pain that is accompanied with the disease.

i would want to end the pain as soon as possible.

so its kinda scary that it really could happen in real life.

its touching how the guy fulfilled his wife's wishes, of killing her, because of love.

the power of love is amazing.

but its not a true story.

i wonder if it ever did happen to anyone.

or maybe i should say if it would happen to anyone in future.

the F1 thing is NOISYYYYYYYY.

everyone here seems to be watching it.

so it feels like echoey.

i can hear it from the living hall (i'm in my dining hall).

and i can hear it from outside.

why do ppl on their tvs so loud?

NOISYYYYYYY.

oh i have yet to watch vexille.

some anime that i'm supposed to watch for comms.

i shall go watch it now if not i will be completely clueless for the meeting tmr!

23rd September 2008

2008-09-23T20:57:00.002+08:00

its starting to get busy busy busy!

mid terms are coming!

and i hope i can do well for midterms.

i have a love hate relationship with mcq tests.

i hate it because i cant seem to do well for it but i love it cos it saves me the hassle of writing essays.

how sad can things get?

boooooo.

please help me comment on my academic blog!!!

oh and let me know if the content is toooooo boring~!

16th September 2008

2008-09-16T20:04:00.002+08:00

because i'm lazy to read my textbooks.

because i'm lazy to figure out how to answer the questions for the UGC thing.

because i can't find anything else to do.

that's why i'm blogging!

oh please please please please please help me to comment on my blog!

it'll be really really helpful!

its http://pink--ness.blogspot.com

thank you!

but i can't figure out what to blog about.

works piling up and up and up.

so it explains why i dont blog that much.

i hope everyone is doing fine and i'll pull out time to meet special people like val soon.

2008-08-18T20:36:00.002+08:00

OK I'M BLOGGING COS VAL SAYS I SHOULD UPDATE REGULARLY.

its been holidays so far.

and its the final week of my 2 weeks long holidays.

i've been working ever since the exam week.

in the mornings from 7am to 10am.

sometimes till abit later depending on the amount of teachers available.

thats pretty much what i've been doing for most of my holidays.

i've been out with Oo gang on 8th aug and 13th aug.

I FEEL SO DEPRIVED OF MY HOLIDAY!!!!

i'm working in the mornings and sleeping most of the afternoons away.

if not i'll spend my afternoons with my mum.

i cant go out cos of some stupid unreasonable reason.

i still feel angry about it.

but i'm not supposed to blame anyone.

but i'm still soooooooo upset bout it.

BUT i still cant do anything bout it.

SOOOO i cant wait for school to start so i can get back some of my freedom.

met up with val and jere on fri after sooo long.

i decided that i will not try so hard to come up with a day where all 7 of us can make it.

SOOOO when all of u are free pls let me know.

all i know now is that jere is flying to places with khalis, val and qiuxuan are having exams, joey and jamie are somewhere.

so let me know when all of u can pull out time to meet up.

that is before khalis and jamie go for NS!

SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!

i'm going to take JLPT 4!

though i dun feel like i'm good enough.

i think its worth a try.

i'm trying to memorise all the vocabulary and all.

its not that easy.

and i thot chinese was hard.

but i'm still working hard on it!

since i have no classes now.

trying to catch up with everything.

and soon i have to pay for another 10 lessons of jap.

another $400 gone.

but it's all worth it.

i think.

and its raining again!!!

i so love the rain.

been feeling sick the past few days.

it started with a sore throat then a runny nose then huge headaches.

and now i'm stuck with cough again.

i was trying to read a story to the students just now and i coughed my way thru it.

after that i joined some students who were playing at the home corner.

they kept making me "food".

they came up with weird stuff like egg juice and bread juice.

so i pretended to eat and all.

and they continued to feed me.

i told them if i eat so much i'll become fat.

and they said they wanted me to become fat.

and they started laughing amongst themselves.

and they said they wanted me to become fat like the kungfu panda.

those children made my day.

children are just so cute and innocent.

and i'm reminded why i still continue to work part time at where i'm working now.

i just finished reading damaged by cathay glass a few days ago.

it was really inspiring.

it somewhat made me wanna be a foster carer in future.

i wonder if there are foster carers in singapore.

it would be a nice thing to do though it does not provide a high pay.

money cannot buy things like that.

and children can be saved and protected in a way.

i'm now reading a book entitled ugly.

it's by constance briscoe.

i'm bout more than halfway thru it.

its really disturbing that it really happened to a person.

somehow reading how she got thru her ordeals made me realise again how lucky most of us are in our country.

i also wonder if there are any children suffering in silence.

these books really make me feel like doing extra well for my degree and complete all my studies to save these children who are abused by their own family.

and the rain has stopped!

but there's lightning.

the weather is confused.

it can decide if it wants to rain or not.

ok i shall stop talking nonsense!

and i will try to update regularly since val says i should.

so thank val if u also wanted regular updates from me.

TOMORROW IS THE FINAL DAY OF ALL LESSONS FOR SEMESTER 1!!!!

how time flies.

like alr 13 weeks of school.

it ends as quickly as it started.

so much achieved in this semester i guess.

the best reward for me would be great friends!

a group of friends to look forward to going to class with!

1 semester down and 8 more semesters to go (i think).

holidays are coming!!!

meantime i just need to study really hard for my psych.

i hope i can get As for my english module and music module.

its a great start for me!!!

i'm glad that for once i didnt make the wrong choice.

(:

i shall organise a gathering for the 7 soon!

to celebrate khalis's birthday too!

i'm so looking forward to holidays.

ok for now i think i need sleep.

lack of it and my head is throbbing.

okies. TA TA!

sometimes i cant help but wonder what i really mean to some people.
sometimes my mum makes me feel so insignificant, so unimportant but at the same time she expects so much from me.
sometimes i feel that i'm being treated unfairly but i cant be bothered to fight for fairness.
maybe its just for the best that i dn bother bout it right?

I HAD A WONDERFUL 20TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE ENTIRE OO GANG FOR THE SURPRISE!

TO SHE MIN, SOLEHA, WINNIE, CHLOEKI!

SO LOVE YOU GUYS!

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

we had a nice lunch at sakura on monday.

and the girls gave me pink roses!!!

to think that the last time i received roses was back in 2006...

ok i shouldnt talk or even think about that anymore.

and a pretty bookmark that i cant bear to use.

and a pink handmade card by chloeki i think.

she is the funniest girl i have ever met.

and we went for a movie at cineleisure.

chloeki laughed so loudly!

thank goodness i was sitting far far away from her.

but still i was laughing cos she was laughing so loudly.

oh we took neoprints too.

and she min's shirt colour kept changing.

=p

shall upload photos another time when i get them.

and we went shopping at far east plaza.

i bought a nice white dress.

that i will wear soon when i get my contact lens that is taking ages to appear.

i also bought a little miss sunshine shirt.

and the next day winnie, chloeki and me wore the little miss sunshine shirt to school.

we were in red, yellow and green.

just like a traffic light.

it just reminds me of the joy of going to school!

so love them!

today was ok.

i bought a new book!

by my english instructor.

its titled "Windows to Southeast Asia".

i've read like close to 30 pages.

its like a compilation of articles by SEAsians.

the articles are like good.

i was supposed to like study during my break.

but i was like distracted and nth went inside my head.

not productive today.

but the quiz was alright.

(:

i just finished with a book titled "letters to sam"

its a book worth buying for all your loved ones!

it talked about altruistic love.

and i realised that its really lacking in today's society.

if everyone showed altruistic love, the world would be a much better place!

there would be no starving ppl or dying children or suffering ppl.

i've been thinking too much lately.

i can't seem to find anyone who can relate to whatever i'm doing and thinking about now.

all this thinking has made me really confused.

HOW!?!

i shall just live life as it is.

and i'll take one step at a time.

and face each obstacle as it comes.

and hope that everything goes well.

19th July 2008

2008-07-19T18:16:00.002+08:00

YAY!

i'm finally done with my part for the psych assignment.

i feel so proud of myself!

its torturous to read about the different chemicals that are in the brain that causes different emotions in people.

and it took me 4 long long hours to compile everything.

i'm happy that i'm done.

now i'm left with my essay outline.

and my journal.

did i say that in my previous entry?

i think i did.

so here is concrete evidence that i love to procrastinate.

17th July 2008

2008-07-17T16:44:00.002+08:00

so many things due soon!

cant wait for the semester to end!!!

i was so tired last night that i slept at close to 9 and i only woke up at 11 plus today!

i finally got my well deserved rest!

then its back to doing work.

I CAN DO IT!!!

everything will be over next week.

as in for music.

i wont have to face that stupid group leader ever again!

i will never ever do group stuff with him again!

but then again i got to know really nice people in my music group (:

ok i should stop blogging.

i shall finish my reflections and start on my essay outline for my persusive essay.

i was thinking of writing a persuasive essay to persuade people to use less of plastic bags.

ok i shall do that.

oh and i need to do my journal!

something about kidney donations or torture or freedom.

okies i'll be back to blog again later maybe (:

14th July 2008

2008-07-14T21:49:00.002+08:00

another brand new week!

today was a draggyyyyyyyyyyyyy day.

i realised that there are so many deadlines to meet!

all the deadlines are next week.

soooooo irritating!

i'm feeing sad.

and i cant figure out why.

how much worse can my day get?

oh and i have a music quiz tmr that i have totally no idea what is going to be tested.

and i'm so lazy to study.

but i cant lose my A grade for my music so i'm going to be a good girl and i'm going to study my music.

something about baroque era and classical era and romantic era.

and i think i must know the different instruments that are played in a piece.

I'M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!

but then again, it cant be that hard rite?

ok so i think we're not meeting on the 18th anymore.

cos khalis cant make it.

so jere is going to organise when we are gonna meet and stuff cos i'll be busy meeting my deadlines.

ok i'm going to study music now!

(:

10th July 2008

2008-07-10T20:45:00.004+08:00

oh i so have no mood to write my essay.

i feel tired staring blankly at the computer screen.

and then i'll start to wonder how anyone can stare at the screen for so very long.

and after wondering i'll start thinking on how to continue on my essay.

then my mind will wander off again thinking about how my weekend will be.

and i'll start humming to the songs playing on my itunes.

afterwhich i have to remind myself that i have to finish my essay before the weekend as i will have to hand it in on monday and i'll have no time during the weekend to complete it.

oh thats a very long sentence!

it has been a really long week!

went for joey's birthday bbq on tuesday.

photos are on facebook!

let me put one here

(:

met up with val after so long.

QIUXUAN as usual didnt come for whatever reason she had.

which made me and val quite angry.

oh yes i got scared and irritated by this guy at the bus stop at downtown east.

i was sitting at the bus stop opposite downtown east waiting for val.

then while i was sitting there, listening to songs, this guy, i guess he's roughly about 12-14 yrs old, started asking the aunties at the bus stop for a dollar.

all the aunties shooed him away.

then he suddenly sat beside me.

and he asked me for a dollar.

feeling abit sympathetic towards him, i gave him a dollar.

when i did, he asked for 2 dollars.

then i was like thinking to myself... shouldnt he be grateful that i gave him a dollar?

then i ignored him.

just then more aunties came and he started asking them.

so i took the opportunity to go to the bus stop on the opposite side.

when i reached the other side, i saw that guy cursing and scolding the aunties cos they refused to give him money.

then he crossed the road to the bus stop that i was at.

i was like... i cant be that unlucky.

then he asked many ppl at the bus stop.

no one gave him money.

and he came back and sat beside me again!

i turned up the volume of my music so that i wouldnt hear him.

and he started to use his leg to nudge my bag.

and i ignored him.

i think he did that for 3 mins continuously.

i looked at him and rolled my eyes and got up and sat in between 2 ppl.

he looked angry.

then he approached the uncle beside me and asked for money.

the uncle gave him a dollar and then the uncle left.

so he sat there and took out his wallet.

and at that point of time i was like why is he asking for money then.

i felt slightly cheated.

but i decided that i did a good thing.

and before he could approach me again, val finally came.

this encounter made me pity this guy.

like what are his parents doing?

its kinda sad that he is actually bringing himself to that level of begging people for money at such a young age.

its not like he cant get a part time job to do or anything.

and the way the guy begged for money just reminded me of the way the beggars in china beg for money.

plain scary.

oh before meeting val i had the music presentation.

i felt that it was a total failure.

i hope that it wont affect my total score.

it would really really pull down my entire score if i do badly for it.

so i'll confirm that we'll be meeting on 18th july for dinner at the central at clarke quay ya?

that is to val, joey, jamie, jere, khalis and qiuxuan(it's ur very last chance to like redeem yourself; if not you'll really be blacklisted =p)

sms me to confirm okies?

many many things to do this month.

mainly i need to study for my finals in aug.

on 4th aug and 6th aug.

mus266 on one day and psych on the other.

need to plan my time really well.

to juggle studying for uni and jap and going out.

(:

wall e is coming out soon!

val does a really cute voice that imitates wall e.

=p

okies enough of me talking and talking.

i shall ty to continue with my essay.

or maybe i shall play some games first.

i doubt i'll be sleeping early tonight.

thank goodness i dun have to wake up early tmr.

6th July 2008

2008-07-06T20:51:00.002+08:00

its gonna be a really busy month!

next week there'll be the music presentation.

and there's another assignment due on the 21st.

and there's finals at the beginning of next month.

i'm trying my best to study all the psych chapters that are taught.

its hard to relate and also hard to rmb.

now i rmb how tough studying is.

i cant wait for the music presentation to be over.

and i cant wait to meet val.

the last time i saw her was like just abit more than a month ago but it seems like forever.

8th July.

2 more days.

and i'm angry at the ppl who didnt reply my sms.

BAD PEOPLE.

jamie and khalis are BAD PEOPLE for not replying my sms.

BAD BAD PEOPLE.

4th July 2008

2008-07-04T12:03:00.002+08:00

i so dun feel like going to school later.

its nice staying at home.

and i dun want to go to school for 1 and a half hour jut for music!!!

a few more weeks and i wont have music anymore.

a few more weeks.

i chose my modules for next semester!

i'll be taking horribly boring subjects like computer science and some civilisations thing.

but there'll be english and health psychology and communications.

5 modules i hope i can cope with.

these 5 modules cost me $7704.

scary.

but then again i have no other choice.

=p

i have been reading alot of books lately.

the one by cecelia ahern is really good.

it left me laughing at some point of time and its touching in a way too.

it's titled "thanks for the memories".

"the choice" by nicholas sparks is also good.

"salem falls" by jodi picoult is nice too.

certain phrases left me to think in this book.

No one will ever admit that after a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures would never be anything but broken.

See, love's like that. Once you give it, even b accident, you're on that list forever.

"keeping faith" by jodi picoult is really really nice.

its a bout a girl who is believed to be seeing an angel.

and the twists in the story is really good.

hmmm what else have i read?

OH.

"hidden" by cathay glass.

its a good story bout a foster carer taking care of a boy.

and there are so many things that happened to the boy which is kinda sad cos its a true story.

it made me feel like being a foster carer in future.

i shall consider that.

and now i'm reading "a thousand splendid suns" by khaled hosseini, the author of "the kite runner".

i'm reading alot.

maybe too much.

i should start reading my textbooks soon!

finals are coming in like 4 weeks i think.

really impt.

okies it is time to start getting ready for school!

30th June 2008

2008-06-30T13:59:00.002+08:00

its the end of the month.

and i'm in school.

in the com lab with absolutely nothing to do!

actually i do have stuff to do but i chose not to.

turns out i didnt fail my psych mid terms.

I JUST PASSED!!!

better than failing.

(:

and i did fairly ok for my english mid terms.

i'm alright with my results.

but compared to others its still not good enough.

ok i shall start on my essay.

AGAIN.

now the essay is a compare and contrast one.

3rd essay.

it will end soon!!!!!

(((:

and i can choose my time table.

it'll be 5 modules for me.

and school fees will be more than $7k.

now i need to find money!

i wonder how it is like to block out everyone, only caring about those who really matter.

i slept at close to 2 this morning and i had to wake up at 6.(ended up waking at 6.30 too)

i was cranky today.

i'm sorry if i looked irritated with anyone.

i wasnt.

i felt like such a princess cos i cant survive with only 4 hours of sleep.

BOOO.

i lost the skill of being active even if i lack sleep.

i failed my midterms for psych.

and no one seems to believe that.

i will glare at the next person who claims that they can't believe i actually failed.

irritating ppl.

i am almost done with my process essay.

and i have to start thinking bout my compare and contrast essay.

i was thinking about writing about something really boring like capitalism and communism.

cos the instructor wants topics that are intellectual.

i guess that's intellectual enough.

then i'll have to do research on those topics.

and i so hate doing research cos i cant seem to find whatever i want whenever i want it.

i have to work really really hard now to push up my grade for psych and maintain my grade for english.

i have nth to say about my music module.

becos i have no idea how i'm going to do for my midterms.

its kinda scary in a way.

and i have to make sure that nth will go wrong.

thats the thing about group projects.

i should be taking econs during my next sem!

i feel excited bout taking econs again and i cant explain why.

and if all goes well i'll be taking 5 modules for my next sem and i will have my fridays off!

(((:

okies i'm done blogging!

i shall go back to touching up the essay! (:

23rd June 2008

2008-06-22T09:40:00.002+08:00

i keep wanting to blog but i lose my chain of thought whenever i start blogging.

the essay is really bad.

i'm so afraid of writing entirely out of point.

this is what i get when i put really high expectations for myself.

and my daddy is adding on to the pressure.

maybe i can say one of my greatest weaknesses is disappointing my daddy.

funny me.

ok i shall start scribbling ideas for my essay on a piece of paper.

and i shall prepare for my last advance 1 japanese lesson!

and soon i'll be about $400 poorer as i'll be enrolling for the advance 2 class.

BOO.

oh i cant wait for joey's birthday party!

then there will be all 7 of us.

FINALLY.

i never thought it would ever happen but i'm glad it did (: loves.

21st June 2008

2008-06-21T23:49:00.004+08:00

i hate doing essays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coming up with a topic is like horrible.

writing the essay is even worse!

why am i stuck doing this essay?

booooo!

work was horrible today.

actually it wasnt that bad just that one student was really picky about food.

he was SOOOOOOOOOOO IRRITATING!

and the weather was horible.

the sun was so hot that i felt that i could melt if i stood there any longer.

i went to swim today.

one of the really really rare occasions.

i got forced to by my daddy.

not exactly forced but forced.

oh i just watched connie talbot on youtube.

she's so cute!

(:

and really talented for her age.

ok i shall stop blogging.

i'm either going to sleep or going to do my essay.

sleeping sounds like a better option, like always.

=p

20th June 2008

2008-06-20T21:13:00.002+08:00

mid term exams are over!

i hope i do well.

i dun think i'll do that badly though.

i'm so enjoying school now.

i just watched 2 performances for my music module.

1 music performance and another non-musical performance.

the music performance was at jubilee hall and it was a performance by a quartet playing only recorders.

it was really amazing.

they played this piece with like 20 different recorders.

the low pitched recorders are like not that low pitched and the high pitched recorders were really really high pitched.

it was a nice performance.

though there wasnt a full house.

it was sort of a different performance and ppl should really watch it.

the other performance that i watched was the king lear project.

maybe it was because i didnt have any idea what king lear was about that led to me being horribly blur at the abrupt ending.

but it was nice to watch a play by local actors and actresses.

maybe i shall spend more time catching plays like this.

thats all for the performances.

and there was like no lessons for 2 weeks.

music module lessons will resume next week.

sadly.

=p

1st June 2008

2008-06-01T10:28:00.003+08:00

it's june already!

time really really flys.

so much has happened in the past month.

school has started.

orientation was fun.

school life is somewhat different from what i have experienced for the past 12 years of education i have had.

in this education system i have to get used to partipating in class discussion, in which i'm always used to keeping really quiet and observing what others have to say.

we are actually graded for class participation!

attendance is so compulsory for all modules.

part of our final grade also constitutes a percentage for attendance.

the rest of the final grade will be decided by assignments and projects.

so far out of the 3 modules i'm taking there is only one module that i really cannot stand.

but i still have no choice but to attend lectures diligently even though half the time i cannot understand what the instructor is trying to teach.

i'll be attending 2 performances that are showcased for the singapore arts festival.

and i wont have to go to school on tuesdays and fridays for 2 weeks!

i'll take that time to catch up on sleep!

but then again at that time it would be mid term tests.

so it'll be study study study.

studying psychology is like taking biology and chemistry.

the 2 subjects that i would avoid at all costs if i had a choice.

english lessons are confusing in a way.

essay writing is a drag!

i'm actually almost done with my illustrative essay which is due tomorrow!

thank goodness its considered as draft 1.

i'm having huge difficulty in getting ideas and i'm running out of descriptive phrases.

at the same time i'm so afraid of writing out of point and not supporting my thesis statement.

this is what english lessons has done to me.

it has made me so unsure of something that i used to enjoy doing.

oh i have made really nice friends at SIM.

really nice people to hang out with during the long breaks that i have that are from like 10.30 to 3.

so if any of you are free at 10.30 to 3 on mondays and wednesdays and happen to be near SIM you can call me! cos i would be really free!

=p

ok enough about school.

belley had her 21st birthday a few days ago.

she had so many many friends.

like alot of ppl were there.

i shall upload photos soon.

val, QX, khalis, jamie and jere came.

i had a fun time taking photos!

i shall upload them soon too.

sorry for procrastinating.

ok i should get back to my essay.

i'm just left with the conclusion an i hope i'll be able to hit 4 pages if not i'll be in trouble!

okies then.

OH AND QIUXUAN YOU SHOULDNT BE USING BLOGS TO KEEP YOURSELF UPDATED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE! YOU SHOULD TAKE THE EFFORT TO MAKE YOURSELF PRESENT FOR ALL THE DINNERS THAT WE PLAN!!! REMEMBER 6TH JUNE!!!

oooh i got rejected by NUS again! but i'm so happy at SIM that it doesnt really bother me at all ((((: just a random note =p

27th April 2008

2008-04-27T10:16:00.002+08:00

it's sunday again!

time seems to pass by so quickly nowadays.

oh i passed my FTT!

i feel so happy for myself.

cos i only started reading the book like days before the test.

i was so sure that i would actually fail it.

but i didnt!

and i bought fishes for the fish tank that i set up in my class.

the children were so excited bout it.

the reaction to it: priceless.

(:

i love them so much!

ok i have to actually start on writing my lesson plans for next week.

and a curriculum web.

my official last day of work is on 30th April.

oh i spent 6 1/2 hours wrapping the gifts for the children in the childcare centre.

a total of 67 goodie bags.

i'm surprised it took me that long.

i thought i would take maybe 3 hours.

first aid class is interesting.

i learnt how to put on a bandage.

quite simple actually.

i believe almost anyone can do it.

=p

friday, jere jamie and khalis came over for mahjong.

i totally forgot about having to work on saturday.

but we ended early at bout 3 i think.

i slept for like less than 3 hours and went to work.

and when i came home, i slept for another 3 hours or so.

went out for dinner and came home to sleep again.

so basically, i spent most of my saturday sleeping.

i have this horribly runny nose that doesnt seem to be going away.

okies.

i cant think of what to blog about anymore.

oh i finally finished the book nineteen minutes.

i shall blog about that next time.

(:

22nd April 2008

2008-04-22T22:31:00.002+08:00

today is tuesday.

i had my first lesson of first aid today.

it was amusing.

i learnt how to save ppl if they are choking on something.

i wonder if i will ever meet anyone who is choking.

there's lessons again tmr.

i hope i wont be tired.

and i hope i wont feel so sticky like i did today.

like really sticky cos of the horribly humid weather.

and because of the long long walk that we took to the supermarket.

and also because of all the moving of furniture in the classroom.

and also because of cleaning off the marks made by the piano when we shifted it.

oh i have list of things to do before my last day of work on wednesday.

like doing all the corners in the classroom.

and of course making goodie bags for all 67 students in the centre.

and to get gifts for all the people i worked with.

sounds like a lot money is going to be spent.

but it's all worth it to me.

(:

i watched definitely maybe!

with jere on sunday.

it was nice.

i enjoyed the storyline.

and the twists in the show.

the little girl is cute.

loved her acting.

(((((:

definitely a show to catch.

ok its getting late.

i shall go get my precious 8 hours of sleep.

i have a long long long long long long long long long long day.

9am to 10pm.

i will stay awake.

and i will not get hungry.

=p

i'm almost always hungry nowadays.

i will just grow so fat one day.

ok i should stop.

and i will study for the FTT.

i keep procrastinating.

why?

because the things in that little book that i'm supposed to study is so so so so so very dry.

i will fail.

fail it terribly if i dun start reading it soon.

i stopped at page 5 i think.

=p

ok i should just go to sleep.

(:

20th April 2008

2008-04-20T09:17:00.002+08:00

IT'S SUNDAY!!!

time seems to pass so fast when its the weekends.

friday was the best.

i actually stayed up for like 24 hours without any sleep.

it's very amazing for a person like me who must sleep for at least 8 hours everyday if not i'll get cranky.

and i was up for so long becos i was playing mahjong with jere, jamie, khalis (who left halfway) and val.

and i think we played like from 1 plus in the morning till like close to 7?

i was like feeling tired then hungry then tired again.

but mahjong was fun with the 4 of them.

QIUXUAN didnt come again.

AS USUALLLLLLL.

the workshop in the day was fun.

i actually couldnt find my way to the place.

i reached buona vista mrt station at like 8.15 and i walked around the area for like 45 mins until i found my destination.

first i walked in the wrong direction and realised that i was walking in the wrong direction only after asking for directions.

then i walked in the correct direction and found blk 7.

i still couldnt find blk 16 so i asked for directions again.

then i walked further in and found blk 11.

and afterwhich i saw 12 and 14.

the blk nos are like so small and so few that i couldnt find the stupid blk 16.

and i asked for directions again.

and just to go to blk 16 from where i was, i had to climb up and down many stairs.

and it was like diagonally across blk 14.

i managed to reach the place just on time, only to realise that more than half of them weren't even there yet.

anyway the workshop was really fun and it made me understand why children enjoy music and movement so much.

ok music and movement is like playing with music and being very very dramatic to express the music to the children.

the person conducting the workshop was really good.

she managed to keep me awake even though i was like really tired.

i wanna blog about the rest of my day but i guess i shouldn't.

things just gets so complicated that i dunno how to put stuff in words.

ok i'm officially ending work on 30th april.

i have orientation on 2nd may.

i have first aid course on 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 28th april and 2nd may.

and its from 6.30 to 10.

at night.

so next week will be a long long week.

oh and on the 25th this month i have my FTT (which i havent studied at all).

whether i pass or fail that i shall start learning how to drive first.

since i have so much time on my hands.

my timetable is so stupid that i have absolutely nothing to say bout it.

seems like i have a busy 2 weeks ahead of me.

and i have to start buying and packing sweets for the children in the centre.

i'll really really really miss them.

esp the nursery and playgroup children.

ok i shan't blog anymore!

i have to do my lesson plans and my curriculum web and write my resignation letter and do the duty rosters.

BYEEEEEE!

16th April 2008

2008-04-16T19:23:00.002+08:00

i spent most of my day sleeping today!

and i still feel like sleeping.

slept at 12 plus in the morning until like bout 8.30.

then went back to work to collect my files so i could actually complete some lesson plans (but i didnt really get around to doing it).

and my mummy decided that she would drive me to my workplace to collect my stuff provided that i follow her to the market after that.

and after i reached home at bout 10 plus, i had a few mouths of vegetarian beehoon, took my medicine and went back to sleep.

and only woke up after 4.

i finished my vegetarian beehoon and took my medicine and lazed around for the rest of the day.

what a way to spend my day.

my throat feels so much better than it was this morning.

the medicine is finally working!

i was watching american idol just now.

they were supposed to sing mariah carey songs today.

david cook was the best!

the other david wasnt that bad either.

(:

loved their singing.

i'm so looking forward to friday!!!!!

erm not really looking forward to the staff training though.

and so not looking forward to the fact that i have to wake up early in order to arrive at holland village punctually at 9.

14th April 2008

2008-04-14T20:59:00.002+08:00

mondays.

glad its over.

i'm still considering if i should work part time or just give tuition.

i realised that it's such a hard decision to make.

so hard to choose between the 2.

boo.

i shall just wait for my time table.

(:

which i suppose will come soon.

oh i so enjoyed the japanese lesson yesterday (:

the atmosphere was just fun and lively.

(:

and i remembered more than i thought i did.

i felt quite happy yesterday cos i actually managed to remember the things that were taught like last september.

=p

well its a great achievement to me becos i'm forgetful and i feel like i havent studied in like the longest time.

i'm lazy to plan for the 18th. but i shall soon. where's jere when i want to talk to him. TSK.

willing to concede that you might have to lose control before you could find what you'd been missing.

13th April 2008

2008-04-13T10:19:00.002+08:00

i'm having a horribly blocked nose and my throat hurts.

i secretly wish that i will fall seriously ill so that i dun have to go to work tmr.

=p

but then again i hope i feel better for lessons later.

there's nothing to blog about the past few days.

NOTHING!

thats how interesting my life is getting nowadays.

9th April 2008

2008-04-09T21:45:00.002+08:00

it marks the middle of the week.

i start work at 7am tomorrow.

its gonna be a long long day.

and on friday i start work at 8am.

on saturday at 7am.

so its still a long long way before the week ends.

but i'm done with my curriculum web and lesson plans for next week.

i shall just enjoy the last few weeks at work.

(:

i cant wait for the 18th!

7th April 2008

2008-04-07T21:00:00.002+08:00

i have to work on saturday.

and i might be stopping work at the end of the month or probably early may.

i'll miss my students.

really really really really miss them.

and my colleagues too.

they're really really really nice people.

well not all.

just maybe 1 or 2 who are BAD.

and NOISY.

i wont miss them.

=p

and i'll go back in july to celebrate all our birthdays together.

((((:

it just so happens that there is a significant number of students in my class whose birthdays fall in july.

((((:

so we'll have a huge birthday celebration.

=p

work wasnt that fun today.

i felt tired half the time.

maybe it is because it's a monday.

TOMORROW WILL BE A BETTER DAY!

right.

i have totally no idea what i'm doing now.

lets hope i wont regret it later.

6th April 2008

2008-04-06T17:28:00.002+08:00

and it turns out that lesson had been cancelled today.

and we went to eastpoint for nothing.

boo.

thank goodness lesson was cancelled.

started to feel a little sick before the lesson even started.

the thought of starting a new week all over again is not good.

i feel tired just thinking about it.

6th April 2008

2008-04-06T11:47:00.001+08:00

OH.

YES VAL WE'LL MEET UP SOON.

i'm all alone at home.

the weather is not nice.

it's so hot.

school's gonna start soon!

i will miss working.

well not exactly working.

more of missing my students and my colleagues.

its nice working with little children.

thinking about it makes me smile.

(:

i finally watched horton!

its so so so so so so cute.

and funny.

definitely worth watching.

i wanna watch kungfu panda and walle next.

i'm stuck about what to blog about.

hmmmm.

(:

30th March 2008

2008-03-30T10:23:00.004+08:00

wanted to blog yesterday but ended up going out with jere.

okies so i'm back to blog about friday.

friday was a long long long long day for me.

worked from like 7 plus in the morning till 9 plus at night.

there was waterplay in the morning.

and at about 5 in the afternoon, i went to the singapore flyer with my colleague and a few students.

i was quite excited about sitting on the singapore flyer.

the wait for our turn was really really long.

the ride was abit disappointing though.

it's more suitable for tourists.

thank goodness the children from my centre were well behaved.

the children from the other centre were horribly noisy.

i got dizzy from the ride probably because i was standing and walking around.

i would rather sit on 3 thrilling roller coaster rides than take a ride on it again.

=p

okies pictures!

the last photo is a random one.

i mean like how often do you see dragonflies nowadays?

its so uncommon now compared to like many years ago.

ladybirds are also quite rarely seen in singapore now.

i love this song.

The Real Me

Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

i'm going to start japanese again.

but this time with qingqing.

(:

should be able to take jlpt (japanese language proficiency test) soon.

ok i should stop blogging and do my lesson plans.

25th March 2008

2008-03-25T20:43:00.005+08:00

feels like it has been a while since i last blogged.

but i last blogged on wednesday.

time is going by too slowly.

its starting to be such a drag.

my life is so routined now.

every morning i wake up to go to work.

when i reach work, the children will be having their morning snack, then we'll have circle time, then we will go outdoors, then we will have a short lesson follwed by their lunch and shower and then their nap. after their nap they will have their afternoon snack and followed by their chinese lessons and after which they will play with their toys. then there will be music and movement and they will slowly start going home.

and when i go home, i'll bathe and have my dinner.

after that i will just waste my time, either watching tv, reading, using the com, talking on the phone or sleeping.

and the next day, everything happens all over again.

i'm so used to this routine that it might be hard to get used to another once i start school.

went to watch val's musical on saturday.

if i'm not wrong the title of the musical is 'the wrong clan'.

it was really nice.

and fun to see the bimbotic side of val.

haha.

and here's the group photo we took.

and other random photos that qiuxuan took.

after the entire musical, we met jamie and went over to jere's place.

elijah was so cute as usual and i learnt how to play chinese chess.

it seemed too complicated to play at that time.

but it was interesting watching jere and jamie play it.

reached home at bout 1.20 in the morning.

thank goodness i didnt get an earful from my mum. =p

oh i finally finished all my applications for university.

now all i have to do is to wait for the news.

which i hope will be good.

i slept early on sunday.

i think i had too many thoughtson my mind when i fell asleep cos i kept waking up in the middle of the night.

that made me horribly tired on monday.

so stupid.

i watched this show called 'the perfect child' which is hosted by amy cheng yesterday and i'm so amazed by the children's ability to memorise so much and to calculate so very fast because of the shichida method.

it's so amazing.

this little boy could like count the number of red dots on a piece of paper just by looking at it for about less than maybe 10 seconds.

another one could remember the colours of a picture which he only saw for 2 seconds.

i wonder how much it costs to enrol a child to learn the shichida method.

today the entire centre except my class went to the healthzone and one of my colleagues brought back extra pots of sunflowers(not grown) for me and daishu mama.

i just watered it.

i hope it will grow into a beautiful sunflower.

(:

i'm still wondering why i dreamt of you the other night.

19th March 2008

2008-03-19T19:41:00.002+08:00

the trip to the zoo was fantastic.

(:

i enjoyed myself.

but it was super duper tiring.

walking and taking care of children at the zoo is not a simple job.

i slept really late last night and that made me very tired this morning.

initially i decided to leave the house at 7.15 but i ended up leaving the house at 7.45.

sometimes i procrastinate too much.

i almost reached the centre on time,was just 2 minutes late.

the bus ride made me a little giddy.

we got lost following the map which was quite inaccurate.

i was happily leading the way when suddenly this peacock (walking freely) decided to stop right in front of the small passageway.

it made me stop walking.

i was scared that it would attack the children but thank goodness it walked away.

then it proudly showed us its beautiful feathers.

it was so cool.

the next thing that amazed me was the monkeys.

they seem to be everywhere.

and it was while i was walking past one of the monkey's enclosure that i dropped my poor camera.

and it has many scratches on it now.

the more i think about it, the more i feel sad about it.

so heartpain!

oh did i mention that i took a while to find the animals in their enclosures?

i went to the otters enclosure but didnt find any otters.

went to the lions enclosure and took quite a while to spot the 1st lion.

the hippo one also took me a while.

and there were many others that were hard to spot.

i had a hard time pointing out to my students where the animals were exactly.

they were like "miss geri, where? i cannot see, miss geri."

and they started to frown.

so i either had to carry them to see the animal or i just came up with an excuse why the animal wasnt there.

and when they actually saw the animal, they will squeal with delight.

they're so cute.

they get so excited by everything.

we watched the elephant show cos the splash safari show was filled up.

the children quite saying that the elephants were naughty because of the things they did during the performance.

i never really cared about the smells in the zoo but today at the zoo really made me notice all the smells.

i had to endure all of the horrible smells so that the children could see the animals.

i wonder why it didnt affect me when i went to the zoo like years ago.

today's trip to the zoo really made me want to go to the zoo during my own time.

((((:

i'm so tiredddddddddddddddddddddddd!

but i decided not to sleep yet so that i can sleep better later.

(:

tomorrow is the last working day of the week!

FINALLY!

i have yet to submit my uni applications.

i really should stop procrastinating.

its starting to be a really bad habit.

=p

i sould stop blabbering.

okies i'm done with the 1st week of lesson plans.

and the curriculum web for week 1 and 2 is complete!

but i'm still stuck with the essays for my application.

it's raining again!

i'm starting to love the rain.

(:

one week of school holidays have just passed by just like that.

not that it makes alot of difference to me, since i still have to teach despite it being the school holidays.

tomorrow is the start of a new term!

and here i am blogging when i'm thinking of a short essay to write for my application to NUS and NTU.

i'm stuck on what to write.

should i write about my experience leading the choir in secondary school?

or should i write about my experience volunteering in the cerebral palsy when i was in JC 1?

or should i write about my working experience for the past 10 months?

but somehow maybe it doesn't really make much of a difference right?

i just need to write it prperly so that the person who reads it can really visualise what i really experienced and learnt during my experience.

(:

maybe i should just submit different essays for the different applications.

i should stop procrastinating.

i still have to do my lesson plans and curriculum webs.

it will be a long long sunday in front of the computer screen.

._________.

i should stop here first.

i'll blog again later!

(:

14th March 2008

2008-03-14T23:27:00.003+08:00

i'm feeling sad today.

just sad.

that i spent like almost $50 in less than 3 hours.

was in a "just wanna buy everything" mood.

HAIS.

i MUST spend my money more wisely.

i shall save the money for driving lessons and japanese lessons.

but i still want to buy a jacket and a new bag for myself.

boo.

tomorrow will be spent at my uncle's house.

it will be a super duper boring day.

ahhh.

and i need to start with lesson plans again.

and my curriculum webs.

and some other things that i cant remember at thi point of time.

i so love the vaio laptop.

*beams*

cant wait for school to start.

then i can finally own my very own laptop.

oh yes... i'm not giving tuition anymore because apparently my "students" prefer to have group tuition rather than one-on-one tuition.

i'll take it as a blessing in disguise.

why?

because i'll be free on fridays again.

and i will never agree to give tuition on fridays anymore.

it was a nice experience giving tuition.

so anyone who has any lobang for tuition please tell me okies?

(:

11th March 2008

2008-03-11T22:15:00.002+08:00

i'm starting to hate all the memories that i hold on to.

i wanna forget all of them.

ALL.

but its easier said than done i guess.

i seem to forget all the wrong stuff.

AHHHHHHH!

i'll go crazy one day.

i think it'll be soon.

PERIOD.

11th March 2008

2008-03-11T21:24:00.002+08:00

i'm having this horrible headache.

maybe its lack of sleep.

but i doubt it cos i think i had sufficient sleep.

the meeting today was alright.

thank goodness i went alone.

=p

we did some learning corner stuff.

it was interesting to know what one can do with a box.

woke up just before 7.30 to get ready to go fo the meeting.

left the house at 8 and managed to reach there on time.

i thought i would be so late cos there was like traffic jams.

i got confused on how to get back to the centre.

because i was unfamiliar with the place, i crossed the road thinking that i should take the bus in the opposite direction to get back to tampines.

BUT it turned out that i had to take a bus from the same bus stop that i alighted from.

and to make matters worse, it was raining so heavily and i had to carry a paper bag with the cardboard box in it and also my umbrella.

i was so tempted to just walk in the rain.

and i almost fell in the bus.

and for the rest of the day i had this headache that is only getting worse now.

tomorrow onwards have to prepare all the curriculum webs for term 2 and also to prepare the classroom to suit the new theme of family.

i also have to think of new art and craft ideas for my children.

i feel so tired just talking about it.

i've gave it much thought and i think that i might just study and work part time after i get into a uni.

and i need more kids to give tuition to.

i dunno how i'll juggle them but i will.

((:

i'm too tired to think.

oh and it should be confirmed that my students will get to go to the zoo next wed!!!!

(:

that reminds me.

i have to prepare a lesson plan for that.

boo.

9th March 2008

2008-03-09T16:09:00.002+08:00

the issue is solved.

good.

had a nice time watching death note 1 and death note 2 yesterday.

i felt so tired after watching the 2 movies.

because the subtitles were in chinese and because its a vcd, i couldnt change the subtitles to english.

and the chinese was the not simplified one.

so it was like a test to test my chinese and japanese.

and i proved to my mummy that death note was not a scary movie.

and its back to work tomorrow!

the trip to the zoo has been postponed.

:/

8th March 2008

2008-03-08T11:53:00.001+08:00

if my mother was as concerned as she is now, to my younger sister's studies, to me in the past, i would have been so grateful.

i hope this issue gets solved soon.

8th March 2008

2008-03-08T09:40:00.007+08:00

i'm up early when i slept at 2 plus.

its stupid that i'm too used to waking up at this timing.

i cant seem to get back to sleep.

but its a blessing in disguise!

my ex students mum just called me.

she said that my ex student wanted to talk to me.

SHE'S SO CUTE!!!!!

she told me about her brother trying to throw her pink bear (the one that i gave her) away and that she was going for her ballet class soon and that she was going to be a flower girl and that she got to wear a magic pink hairband.

SHE'S SOOOOO CUTE.

i miss her.

but she's not in the childcare that i'm in now.

hais.

i really hope she will still remember me when she grows older (:

let me see if i can find her photos.

okies found them!

and my favourite photo of me and her!

i miss her so much!

the leap years was a really nice movie.

i loved the storyline.

i loved the way the put in all the corrinne may songs that they used.

and it was filmed in singapore which made it even more beautiful.

so loved the movie.

(:

dinner with a104 ppl was nice too.

first time at the central.

and first time that i had dinner at the manhattan's fish market.

i shall upload photos!

okies this is izyan and her birthday cupcake!

elicia. izyan. justin.

izyan. lappie. me.

izyan. me.

izyan's birthday cupcake.

izyan. i dunno what she was doing =p

i miss having tutorials and lectures with lappie and izyan.

i miss all the nonsensical stuff that we did in JC.

haha.

i still cant stand the fact that i am awake at 10 plus on a saturday.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

i shall start preparing for my uni applications.

and i must remember to get my boss to write an appraisal for me.

I MUST REMEMBER.

was supposed to ask her yesterday.

i'm so forgetful.

so forgetful that i can forget that i'm forgetful and i insist that i dun need to write it down to remind myself.

hais.

something's wrong with me.

i have yet to figure out what it is.

6th March 2008

2008-03-06T22:04:00.002+08:00

yay i'm going to watch leap years!

((((:

i'm suffering from a horribly blocked nose now.

i blame my sick students.

my life has been shortened because of all their germs.

=p

ok they arent that bad as i make them out to be.

i hope my blocked nose goes away.

and also hope that i wont get a sore throat tomorrow.

i dun have tuition this week.

so its a nice break.

i cant figure out this problem sum on my pri5's assessment book and i feel dumb becos of it.

boo.

i shall sleep over it.

(:

cant wait to meet the girls of a104 tmr (:

4th March 008

2008-03-04T21:46:00.002+08:00

i am so relieved that today is so over!

today went well.

nth went totally wrong.

except some stupid passerby decided to tear away one poor ginerbread man that i pasted on my classroom door.

the person who did that is stupid and inconsiderate and horrible and has nothing better to do.

i spent quite some time cutting out the shapes and laminating them and daishu mama painted the background so nicely.

and YOU had to go and tear the gingerbread man off the door, destroying the background and everything.

YOU ARE MEAN.

whoever YOU are.

argh.

apparently some ppl around that area find joy in destroying the outside of the childcare centre.

CRAZY PPL.

one of my students was so cute today!

we were having a meeting with the bosses and she wasn't asleep.

she was wandering around, eyeing the chocoloate cake.

and just as we were about to end the meeting, she started singing the barney song (i love you, you love me, etc.) in her own way cos she doesnt have much speech yet.

and the cute thing was she started to hug selected ppl in the room and i was the first to get hugged!

obviously she didnt hug the ppl she didnt like.

and one of those was the witch.

=p

she's so cute!

i cant wait for the A level results to come out.

cant wait cant wait cant wait.

3rd March 2008

2008-03-03T21:03:00.002+08:00

today i had a bad day at work.

i thought i had almost completed all the decorations in the class BUUUUTTTT i was suddenly given more stuff to complete becos apparently i didnt have any learning corners in the classroom.

i stayed with daishu mama until 7 plus to rush out everything.

but we're still not done with everything.

so i really hope everything goes well tomorrow.

i hope all the students that cannot behave properly suddenly fall sick tomorrow so i won't have to deal with them.

i am so evil.

i shall stop being mean for once.

I'M SOOOOOOOO TIRED.

and my phone cant be charged cos i left the stupid charger at work.

it's at work cos i lent it to my colleague to charge her phone and she didnt return it to me!

):

but i dun blame her.

everyone was ultra busy today.

so if u sms me or call me tonight and i dun reply you, i'm so sorry.

(:

ok val is having her musical performance on 21st and 22nd march.

so i shall get qiuxuan, joey, khalis and jamie to watch it on the 22nd since i have tuition on 21st.

((((:

so please make yourselves free ok?

yay now i have something new to look forward to!

okies i shall stop here today.

take care everyone!

1st March 2008

2008-03-01T18:25:00.002+08:00

MISS ONG QIUXUAN ISN'T REPLYING MY SMSES!!!!

i can imagine her mugging in a huge pile of notes.

hmmmm.

when i was in JC2, the week before my block test i was having fun holidaying in beijing.

=p

no wonder i did badly.

haha.

spent my entire afternoon in the centre cleaning up and decorating.

managed to complete most of the stuff that supposed to be done.

and i had the first look of my new student that is coming in on monday.

he is horrible.

he goes around hitting ppl.

and he's only 3!!!!!!

i wonder how i will survive with so many boys.

last night while i was waiting for a bus at the bus stop, i saw xiaoxuan in the bus.

and i smiled and wave at her.

then just as i was doing that, this guy alighted from the bus and he thought i was waving at him.

he stoppped walking and he stared at me with a confused look on his face.

so i gave him a "why are you looking at me look" and he walked away.

SO EMBARRASSING.

i got my pay for tuitioning!

((((:

giving tuition is so much better than working in the centre.

as in salary wise.

=p

okies i shall blog again soon ((((:

28th February 2008

2008-02-28T21:48:00.002+08:00

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

and i finished my lesson plans for the term too!

*BEAMS*

cant wait to meet up with the six on sat (:

and sort of looking forward to meeting with some a104 ppl next friday.

(:

the week is almost over.

it seems like a super long week somehow.

thank goodness i survived it.

tuition tomorrow.

another looooonnnngggg day.

was looking through my emails.

there are so many scholarships available.

i shall apply for some when they have scholarships for psychology.

even though chances of getting them are close to 0.

at least i bother to try.

and i visited the IMH website.

was thinking of volunteering there.

my mummy will scream at me.

but i will definitely volunteer there some day.

((((:

i'm reading this book by jodi piccoult titled nineteen minutes.

shall blog about it after i'm done with it (((:

all her books are so well written.

and i seem to prefer buying her books than borrowing them.

haha my collection of books is slowing getting bigger.

maybe i should consider buying second hand books so i wont spend so much.

no more tears for now. (:

27th February 2008

2008-02-27T22:30:00.003+08:00

i give up.

i shall do the curriculum web tomorrow.

A level results are coming out soon.

which means i can apply for NUS and NTU again.

finally.

after waiting for soooooooooooooooo long.

somehow i feel tired of always waiting.

i hope i wont get rejected again.

even though i have a place in SIM for a degree in psychology.

i hope i wont regret the decision of not retaking A levels.

i hope things will go right this time round.

i should stop thinking and just sleep cos this stupid headache i'm having is getting worse.

i have this sudden urge to cry.

27th February 2008

2008-02-27T21:43:00.001+08:00

just when i thought doing lesson plans was utterly depressing, doing a curriculum web is a hundred times worse!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

i'm having a headache and i cant think properly.

i need help.

i'm gonna die of boredom.

25th February 2008

2008-02-25T21:18:00.002+08:00

I'M SO TIREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!

i'm finally done with this week's lesson plan.

i'm left with one week of lesson plans to evaluate.

and also this week's lesson plan to evaluate.

i'm in my "thinking too much" mood AGAIN!

someone help me!

ARGH.

decorating the classroom is tiring.

but its going well for now.

i'm going to have another student in my class next week.

which brings the total number of students up to 12 - 3 girls and 9 boys.

9 BOYS!

boo.

i shall stop complaining.

i cant wait to start schooling again.

23rd February 2008

2008-02-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

*beams*

23rd February 2008

2008-02-23T23:06:00.003+08:00

I had fun today. (:

didnt have to give tuition this morning cos my student is camping.

watched PS I Love You and Jumper.

with pig tan and aloysiOus chew.

i enjoyed myself.

(((:

photos!

just 2 cos it's pretty much the same =p

tomorrow will be lesson plans day.

i thought i could escape writing the evaluation for the lesson plans BUUTTTTT i still have to do them even though i have no diploma in early childhood education!

so tomorrow i have to complete the evaluations for 5 weeks of lesson plans and i have to do one more lesson plan and i also have to think of what to decorate on all the notice boards in the classroom.

and all this has to be completed by 3rd march.

becos the big boss is coming to our centre on the 4th of march.

and we have to ensure that everything is really really dust free.

well maybe not exactly dust free but at the very least clean and presentable.

the trip to the zoo has been postponed to next month.

and waterplay is starting next month!

so going to the zoo on 12th march.

on 11th march i have to go for a curriculum meeting at the head office.

i have no idea where it is actually.

i hope i wont have to go with the principal.

on wednesday this lady came to the centre to interview the teachers about dealing with the children with special needs.

turns out this lady was my sec 1 english teacher and she's doing her phd now.

what a way to bump into a teacher.

tuition is getting slightly better.

my students are starting to respond just a little bit more.

(:

i hope the p5 kid does well for his maths exam.

i hope 1st March's gathering is still on.

surprisingly this time when i smsed, only the guys replied.

valerie qiuxuan and joey please stop being so busy!!!!

ok i shall look forward to work.

16th February 2008

2008-02-15T23:38:00.002+08:00

tuition was ugh.

the pri5 kid was alright.

the sec3 girl was like super duper sian.

both were very quiet.

i hope the sec2 boy will be slightly better.

work was HORRIBLE!

becos daishu mama took leave, that 933 volunteered to help me in the afternoon.

and she claimed that she didnt volunteer to.

i was like praying that she would change her mind.

but she didnt.

and my ears suffered.

and i felt that i had to take care of her.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and daishu mama is taking more leave next week.

i hope i wont get stuck with 933.

becos of 933 i was too angry to have my dinner before tuition.

and i ended up not having any.

i cant get rid of the dettol smell on my hands.

arghhhh.

i shall just go to sleep so i can wake up in time for tuition tomorrow.

14th February 2008

2008-02-14T23:32:00.002+08:00

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

today the children celebrated chinese new year in school.

some of them had really cute outfits for the party.

it was cute!

they had a competition to see who could peel a mandarin orange the fastest.

it was funny.

after work, i went for dinner with EUNICE!

at han river.

i feel so cheated by the waitress.

argh.

ANYWAY tomorrow will be the tart of tuitioning.

is there such a word?

i hope it will go well.

(:

so work will be from 9.30 to 6.30 and tuition will be from 7 to 10.

i hope i will be awake.

and daishu mamam isnt going to work tomorrow.

so it'll be a long and boring day.

i'll upload photos of my very cute students soon.

(:

i better get some sleep.

i hope everyone had a great valentine's day (:

i should learn not to dream tooo much.

TADAAAAA!

a new blogskin!

and its pink!!!

i'm supposed to be doing my lesson plan for the coming week but i seem to have digressed.

i'm running out of creative ways to teach the children the things that are to be taught.

and i missed so much of the other lessons that i was supposed to teach in week 4.

because of my 3 days of MC on tuesday wednesday and thursday.

and going back to work on friday was a torture cos i was so tired.

anyway i think i'm alot better now after the chinese new year holidays.

only that i'm suffering from occassional headaches.

so i have to carry medicine wherever i go.

and its back to work tomorrow.

oh i have 3 new tuition kids!

they're my colleagues children one is P5, another is Sec2 and another is Sec3.

i'm gonna have more income!

and i wont be free on friday nights anymore.

so i can only organise dinners for the seven on saturdays or other weekdays except friday.

unless of course my tuition kids wanna change their tuition days (:

wish me luck in teaching them maths!

chinese new year this year was alright.

somehow the festive mood isnt really there.

but i enjoyed myself (:

esp yesterday's mahjong session, maybe i should say this morning's mahjong session with jere, jamie and khalis at my place.

it was really fun.

i'll upload pictures soon.

maybe later.

(:

ok i shall go back to my lesson plan.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!!

30th January 2008

2008-01-30T20:49:00.000+08:00

2 days of MC.

i was awake for less than 12 hours in 2 days because i was sleeping.

i'm such a pig.

i woke up on tuesday having a fever of 38.4

my temperature didnt drop much until about 1 plus when i went to the doctor, it was 37.9 then.

she prescribed fever medicine and runny nose medicine for me.

i was supposed to take 2 fever tablets 4 times a day.

thats like the maximum amount of tablets i could take a day!

i ended up only taking 4 tablets yesterday.

:P

i have no more fever.

cant wait to go back to work.

i want to buy this top at joop.

maybe i'll get it tomorrow.

(:

26th January 2008

2008-01-24T21:03:00.000+08:00

as usual many things have happened since i last blogged.

i'm becoming a tv addict.

there's too many nice tv shows to watch.

i should have stuck to reading the books i bought.

teaching playgroup has been alright so far.

it's a bit of a challenge to teach kids who might have no idea what you are telling them.

and writing the lesson plan takes alot of time.

time to think about it and to type it out.

working in this line made me realise that maybe going to JC instead of poly wasnt that bad an idea.

i cant imagine myself staying in that line for the rest of my life.

the pay is horrible and the working hours are super duper long.

but i really do admire ppl who are in that line.

(:

ppl really do need the interest and affinity with kids to stay in that line for so many years.

the witch said something really offensive today.

well to me it was pretty offensive.

something about A level cert holders and diploma ppl.

she was so insensitive to the ppl around er.

AS USUAL.

ok enough about her.

i cant wait for tomorrow!!!

meeting with the gang.

only disappointed that joey cant make it.

):

i want the pink sony ericsson phone!

maybe i'll pay for it instead of getting my daddy to do so.

(:

but i think i wont be used to the small screen on the phone.

why cant they make nice pink flip phones?

hmph.

i went shopping for new year clothes weeks ago.

and i finally bought a dress!!!

(:

cant wait to wear it during chinese new year.

dun think i'll be doing much visiting this year though.

ok i think i blogged enough.

i'm going to paint my nails purple!

byeeeeeeee!

21st January 2008

i'm so going to get so little pay this month.

and i haven't got my pay for last month.

took half day leave again today cos i was coughing and i was afraid of spreading all the germs to the children.

but then again spreading all the germs to them would mean that i will have less children to teach tomorrow.

which will be a good thing to happen on friday when my partner is taking leave again!

AGAIN!

which means i have to take care of 18 hyperactive children from 9.30 to 6.30 on friday.

ahhhh!!!!!!

i'm surprised jere tagged.

and even more surprised that it was jere, jamie and joey who replied my smses.

i expected val to reply first but SHE DIDNT!!!

anyway val suggested going to astons.

i'm suggesting the place that i thought was really nice.

both are western cuisine restaurants.

so you guys can like choose.

i'll set the date as 25th okies.

and i'll sms u guys again soon (((:

7th January 2008

2008-01-07T20:30:00.000+08:00

yay its a brand new year!

i feel so much better than i was feeling yesterday.

yesterday i was coughing and coughing and coughing.

i spent most of the day sleeping in the living room.

that's becos pig tan said i should sleep at a place where everyone can see me so that they will know if i'm alright.

i have a very nice pet pig.

(:

only the second week of the year and i'm already seeing the doctor.

i'm starting to fall sick easily.

that's bad.

anyway i had a good rest at home today.

didn't go to work today.

it feels so good to not work on a monday.

i wonder who took care of that horrible K2 class today.

i pity the poor teacher.

=p

but i had sufficient sleep.

maybe too much sleep.

heehee.

i hope i won't fall sick again.

(:

it's hard to plan a dinner for the seven cos everyone's so busy.

and no one replies to any of my smses!!!!!!

by hook or by crook there must be a dinner session this month.

i shall try my best to accomplish that.

ok it's back to work again tomorrow!

31st December 2007

2007-12-31T19:46:00.000+08:00

the last day of 2007.

super unlucky day.

i was at the bus stop with pig tan waiting for qingqing then while we were walking up the pathway a stupid bird pooped on me!!!!

i was squealing away while the very kind pig tan was trying her best to clean the poop off me.

so angry.

of all places to poop, it poops on me.

AHHHHHH!

what a way to end the year.

anyway, we (me, pig tan and qingqing) brought hannah and rena out today.

we went to pasir ris park to rollerblade.

an hour was spent on locating the kiosk which rented the skates cos the one near the playground was closed.

the next 2 hours was spent skating around.

and thank goodness i only fell once.

and i got slightly burned.

cos we were skating between 11 to 1.

after skating, we had our mini picnic.

and thats like the first time in my entire life that i saw the end of the mrt at pasir ris.

and we walked back to white sands to play bishi bashi and to take photos (:

and we brought hannah and rena home.

and spent time talking to chee jiejie.

and now i'm back home.

tired.

2007 is about to end.

and i really really wish 2008 will be alot better than 2007.

in 2008 i want to go back to school, learn how to drive, make new friends, find some kids to tutor, learn to speak japanese very fluently, take my JLPT, meet up with the seven more often.

i guess thats about it.

speaking about meeting up with the seven. i really really really think we should meet up more often. it's like we met up only like 8 times this year. and out of these 8 times, only 3 times were there all 7 of us. but i guess it might be harder to meet up since the guys are going for NS and qiuxuan will have A levels. BUT i dun care, we must still meet up. =p

this year has been a very different one from the rest.

its like the first time in 12 years that i'm not going to school.

and its kinda weird.

having to wake up early on 26th december, right after christmas, to go to work feels weird.

i think i'm too used to having holidays after christmas.

not having any exams to study for feels kinda weird too cos it makes me feel that i have nth to work towards to.

anyway i got my very first part time job this year.

and it was doing admin stuff in NTU which is super boring but fun with qingqing as company.

and my second part time job as a teacher assistant in a childcare centre which is a job i really enjoy doing most of the time.

i'm still doing my second part time job and i think i'll be holding on to that job until i need to go to school.

in 2007 i made new friends.

at work i met friends like eunice and daishu mama and nora.

eunice is really nice and fun to be with! she's always funny and always laughing at me. i will really miss her when she starts school and stops working )))):

daishu mama is also fun to be with! she always cooks yummy stuff for us to eat. and she likes to tell us things that are happening in the centre =p

i also met ppl randomly.

i lost touch with some friends but i really hope to catch up with them next year (:

and i learnt how to roller blade today.

but i'm still very bad at it.

i'm worse than rena, who is only 5.

ok thats about it.

i suppose next year will be a better year.

cos 2007 was bad for me.

very bad.

things cant get worse i suppose.

i hope not.

i have no photos to upload cos they're all ith qingqing so i'll upload them another day (:

and in case i forget to wish anyone a happy new year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

30th December 2007

2007-12-30T16:29:00.000+08:00

it's the last sunday of the year!!!

and i feel sick.

i cant wait for 2008 to come.

then i can go to school again soon.

but that will be in May which is still 5 long months away.

boo.

tomorrow morning will be bringing hannah and rena out to pasir ris park.

i hope it doesnt rain like it is now.

had dinner with my entire family on thursday to celebrate my daddy's birthday.

the dinner was super yummy.

and super expensive.

it's the very first dinner i bought for my family with my hard earned money.

(:

the entire meal cost like $517.

but it was worth it (:

the tiramisu was good.

and there was so much chocolate.

=p

ok i'm not really in the mood to blog.

just wanna wish everyone a happy 2008.

my new year wish is for 2008 to be a hundred times better than 2007.

23rd December 2007

2007-12-23T10:55:00.000+08:00

it's my 200th post!

just a random note =p

i had so much fun on friday!!!

not at work.

with qiuxuan and khalis, watching val perform.

the musical was really nice.

val's acting was great.

i realised i havent laughed so much in a while.

i shall post pictures!!

okies that's all the photos!

clara (my previous student) came back to the centre yesterday!

thank goodness she came just minutes before i left.

and she gave me a really cute pink ballerina doll.

((((:

okies i should stop being random.

shall blog again soon.

(:

19th December 2007

2007-12-19T22:01:00.000+08:00

yay i'm finally back to blog!

about my VERY VERY miserable life.

my daddy is finally back!!!

after about 1 week of being in london.

i heard that its super cold there.

i shall go there one day when i'm able to afford it.

(:

and i'm a very happy girl because i watched 3 movies in a week!

i watched enchanted last tuesday.

alvin and the chipmunks on monday.

and the golden compass yesterday.

and i feel that the best movie of these 3 is ENCHANTED!

i love the dresses that she wore!

and the chipmunk is so very cute.

and while watching the golden compass at cineleisure yesterday, there was this row of children who were so very noisy.

noisy to the extent that i wanted to throw popcorn at them.

but i enjoyed the show.

went to the pasar malam today at tampines.

with eunice.

we walked around like maybe more than 3 rounds.

and it was so hot.

i dun understand why ppl work there.

tomorrow is a public holiday!

i can finally get my much needed sleep.

and i can search for teaching tools for my BELOVED K2 students.

it's gonna be a long long 5 months with them before i start school.

had a mini class dinner last friday.

it was weird at first but it got better.

and i finally got to see the christmas decorations along orchard road.

and i think its nothing fantastic.

and here's a photo of 5 of us.

probably the first time ever going to orchard with them.

but it was fun.

ok i cant think about what to blog anymore.

i shall look forward to friday.

even though i'm VERY VERY disappointed that not all 7 will be there for val's concert.

i shall look forward to seeing qiuxuan and khalis and val.

and also to shopping with qiuxuan before that.

(:

enjoy your holiday!

If you are afraid of everyone leaving you, make them stay.
And if you can't do that or don't know how to, you leave first so you don't have to watch them walk away.

sometimes i wish things were that simple

7th December 2007

2007-12-07T21:39:00.001+08:00

i hate taxis.

they dun appear when i want to take them.

but a huge thank you to EUNICE for accompanying me while waiting for the taxi that took so long to come.

and i had a great time laughing at all the nonsense we talked about.

this afternoon i got scared by this crazy man cycling on his bicycle.

i seriously felt that he was chasing me.

with no thanks to eunice for increasing my fear of him. =p

and to make matters worse, it was raining so heavily.

i had to run across the road to avoid him.

i havent felt so scared for a really long time.

aaaaahhhhh!

traumatising experience.

anyway i didnt really enjoy the concert today.

i was made the emcee like at 11 plus today.

so i simply embarrassed myself for the entire concert.

and the parents looked pretty bored somehow.

and there were like irritating parents.

they just like ask who is who.

and some parent claimed that she didnt know who i am.

and when i went to look for her, she was like "oh, i just wanted to know who you are."

i really dun understand why people act as if they are so great when they are not.

aaahhhhhh!

i had another bad day today.

so thats about it.

and i predict even more horrible days from next week onwards.

i have to work tomorrow.

i have to wake up early.

and early is like 7.

waking up at 7 on a saturday is madness.

i still have to do my charity work tomorrow.

i dun mind doing charity work actually BUT i really mind going to work on a saturday just to clean the classrooms which have hidden lizards which appear out from no where.

and next friday i have to go for a meeting that i really have no idea what its about.

just when i wanted to take half a day off.

please tell me my life cant get any worse.

i should stop whining about my horrible life.

nothing nice seems to be happening anymore.

my daddy is going overseas on sunday.

and on monday i'll be taking that horrible K2 class.

and i have to work with a person who doesnt seem that reliable.

HAIS.

ok i shall stop whining about all the horrible things.

ok i cant think of anything good to blog about.

6th December 2007

2007-12-06T21:39:00.000+08:00

today was a normal day.

except for the fact that SOMEONE did something really stupid.

and some stupid fat boy who ruined my past 2 days.

you can ask me about it if you wanna hear about my horrible day.

and i have an ultra busy day tomorrow.

and i have to work from like 9.30 to 7 i think.

HAIS.

i'm having a stupid headache.

3rd December 2007

2007-12-03T22:42:00.000+08:00

my recycled christmas tree is completed!!!

made of mainly newspaper and attached by a pathetic amount of masking tape.

i shall upload a photo of it soon.

before the christmas tree was completed, no one could guess that it was a christmas tree.

so there were guesses that it was a snowman and some said it was a dustbin.

so while i was painting it green, i kept forcing my students to say it was a christmas tree.

that is to ensure that when their parents come to their mini concert on friday, they will be able to tell their clueless parents that that is a christmas tree.

heehee.

and it is confirmed that i will be taking the K2 next year.

i shall take the opportunity to improve the amount of patience i have with them.

the torture will start on the 10th of december.

HAIS!

and the only good thing about it is that i'm getting paid.

and it's back to work tomorrow!

and it's only MONDAY.

boo.

2nd December 2007

2007-12-02T21:19:00.000+08:00

I HAD SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN YESTERDAY!!!!

how i wished val was there too.

but then again there will be other times.

and i found a place where we can go to the next time we meet up!!!

abit pricey but i'm sure you guys will love it there.

so remind me to tell u guys about that place ok?

((((((:

anyway yesterday we were at jere's place.

and we went to elias mall for dinner.

jere drove.

a good experience.

in a way.

i suppose i might be the next to drive.

heeheehee.

provided my dad allows me to take his car so that everyone can sit comfortably.

sooooo 1st december 2007 is definitely a day worth remembering.

i had this dream on friday.

part of me wants that dream to come true but another part of me doesn't.

friday was the day when i slept ALOT.

i slept at like 7 plus in the evening and woke up at 1 plus in the morning to take my dinner.

and i went back to sleep at like 2 plus and woke up at 11.

i'm such a pig.

ok i should stop being random.

I'M SO TIRED!!!!

and its only tuesday.

i have this very very bad feeling that i might be teaching the K2 class next year.

which means i'll be teaching the kids that are in K1 this year.

K1 kids = ALOT of trouble.

apparently they're more scared of me.

i cant be that scary.

right?

=p

last saturday's graduation was really fun.

dressing up in malay traditional costumes was fun.

the children were naughty.

and stubborn.

but i had fun putting make-up for them.

i was in charge of putting on blusher for them.

and they were so pink!

(:

heehee.

PICTURES!

this is entire K2 class with me at the side (:

its daishu mama and me!

and eunice and me! both of them are the best colleagues u could ever have. (:

clara and me. that's my student from playgroup (:

teachers from the centre (:

yes thats about it.

and i'm going shopping with eunice tomorrow!

for miss lina's present and clara's present and for her formal top (:

ok i'm gonna look forward to tomorrow.

20th November 2007

2007-11-20T20:18:00.000+08:00

I'M BACK!!!!

not that i was missed.

the past few days were tiring.

and i had horrible sleeping hours.

i came back on thursday at bout 2am.

i slept at bout 4am and woke up at 9am and i slept at bout 1am that nite.

i woke up at like 8am the next morning and slept at bout 11 plus.

on sat i woke up at 8 plus too and slept at bout 6pm.

and i woke up at bout 7.30 the next morning.

and sunday was my last night of sleeping really early =p

i slept at bout 8.30 or 9 (cant really remember)

yesterday was the start of work for me!

i realised that i really missed the kids sooooooo much.

a few of them have left the centre and a few have just enrolled.

and there is this particular student who has endless questions to ask.

just like my little cousin.

and another student who cant stop crying.

and another who will cry whenever i stare at him.

haha i'm evil.

i have to work this saturday cos they're having their K2 graduation performance thing.

and all teachers have to be in malay traditional costumes because our students are doing a malay dance.

ok enough bout work.

photos from my trip!

the first sunset i saw when i was walking out of their supermarket (which are all super huge by the way).

and my very first dinner in Anaheim. the portion was huge and it was the first and last time we ever ordered 5 portions of food for 5 people.

and the next day we went to legoland. it sounds kiddy but it was really fun in a way. and the first stupid picture of that day. the dinosaur was made by lego.

and thats me in that lion. pig tan was claiming that no one would look that happy to be in a lion. and the lion too is made up of lego (:

and that is a car made with 201 076 pieces of lego. it's like a life size car.

and a really tall hagrid with harry potter.

ok i took like hundreds of photos in legoland so i'm not gonna post them all. this is a photo of the sky when we left legoland. (:

and another one.

i saw this car when we were on our way to universal studios the following day. i shall own one that will be pretty similar to that when i'm rich enough. =p

tada! UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!

ben and jerry's churro sundae. pig tan had that.

this was the very first attraction we went to when we reached universal studios. only me and pig tan and my dad went in. it was halloween so it was sort of their main attraction. i was so traumatised after that. people inside were dressed up and they all pop up from no where. and to make things worse, pig tan abandoned me halfway cos she was too scared.

SPONGEBOB! a very huge version of it.

and 2 sisters of mine who claim that they love me.

and the next day we headed on to hollywood. and this was the first thing that caught my attention. (:

then we went for some star tour thing to look at many celebrity houses. i cant remember much of what the guide said anyway. after that we walked along the street and they had museum like things for ripley's believe or not and for guiness world records. and we decided to go for the ripley's believe or not instead of the guiness world record one. half the time, we were afraid that something might pop up from the dark corners in that museum cos it had mostly dim lighting.

ok i dunno why but i cant upload anymore photos.

so i'll upload them another day!

(:

27th October 2007

2007-10-27T00:35:00.000+08:00

The Influence of Birth Order

My Result: Middle child because of your even-tempered nature

People who stand out as middle children due to their even-tempered natures are often kind and calm naturally without making an effort. They likely radiate tranquility and feel at peace with themselves most of the time. They may be skillful at controlling themselves when they feel upset or disappointed. When it comes to positive emotions, they take pleasure in sharing them with family and friends. They probably enjoy social activities in which friends and family get together. Because of their good tempers, they may be frequently sought out by others to help resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Take this test >

haha thats a random test that i just took.

and i finally own my very own camera!!!

Sony T70.

and it's PINK!

just what i wanted.

now i cant wait to go for my holiday!

but before that, pizza party at my place on friday night?

15th October 2007

2007-10-15T22:35:00.000+08:00

a quote from a book.

love has all the lasting permanence of a rainbow - beautiful while it's there, and just as likely to have disappeared by the time you blink.

i'm starting to believe that it is so true.

(:

10th October 2007

2007-10-10T19:59:00.000+08:00

the day at the airport was tiring.

very tiring.

and i bet i looked like i was torturing the little girl that i was holding.

but i was not.

it was the other way round.

she was difficult to handle today.

but thank goodness she slept.

the children were like the main attraction at the airport.

people were amazed and started taking photos of them.

it was really cute.

they were so tired by the end of the fieldtrip that they were all dozing off in the bus.

and we had to constantly wake them up so as to ensure that they wouldnt be too awake for their afternoon nap.

everything was really messy in the morning thanks to somebody.

and i bet it'll be even messier tomorrow.

):

there's waterplay tomorrow!

i hope it doesnt rain.

but maybe it should rain.

=p

hmm let me talk bout the past few days.

last friday!

i had so much fun.

i havent had so much fun in a long time.

(:

i went to work as usual and after work, i went for dinner with val, joey, qiuxuan, jere, jamie, khalis.

at marina.

for steamboat.

it was full of people by the time we got there.

val and khalis did most of the cooking.

khalis cooked chilli crab!

but it was too spicy for me so e cooked butter crab for me.

haha it was amusing.

and i peeled prawns!

(:

i went to buy beer and the lady at the counter didnt seem to believe that i was above 18.

after dinner, we went to the arcade beside the steamboat place and we played daytona.

just 6 of us without joey.

it was hilarious.

pictures taken by joey(:

and i'm proud to say i came in 4th!

heehee.

we made our way back after that.

and i was awake until 6.45am.

and had about 2 hours of sleep before waking up again to see the doctor.

and i survived until about 3pm on saturday.

then i had about another 3 hours of sleep.

i'm such a pig.

=p

and i went for steamboat again on sunday.

but it wasnt that nice.

after the steamboat, i had a few hours of entertainment by looking at my mummy and daddy and relatives playing jackpot.

they were amusing.

so thats all for my weekend.

we had a policeman talk on wednesday.

now i know why the policeman uniform is dark blue.

and that the guns that they carry really do work.

haha.

this month is filled with activities!

11th October - Waterplay
19th October - My day off
25th October - Waterplay
26th October - Last day of work (FINALLY)
27th October - PCS family day at Labrador Park
28th October - Flying off for my holiday!! (:

ok maybe its not that filled with activities.

after i come back, i'll need to get a new job.

and i think i will start learning how to drive.

and i have to continue with my jap.

and i must set a date to meet up wih the people after i come back.

thats a must.

ok thats about it for today i guess.

(:

9th October 2007

2007-10-09T22:12:00.000+08:00

yes i'm back to blog!

i spent more than an hour trying to figure facebook.

and its the 124312415 time that i've been trying to figureit out.

but i am still confused by it.

boo.

i'm going to the airport tomorrow!

with my students!

ok i think i'll blog again soon.

it'll be a busy 2 days.

wednesday to the airport and thursday there's waterplay!

((:

HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY!!!!!

i finally watched ratatouille!

it was entertaining.

and definitely worth watching.

(:

and it's back to work tomorrow!

i am so looking forward to friday.

when i can finally meet everyone!

yes i will sms u guys where and when to meet soon.

(:

i cant remember what i wanted to blog about.

ok i shant blog anymore.

=p

30th September 2007

2007-09-30T11:45:00.000+08:00

its the last day of the month!

things i look forward to at the end of the month.

my pay and the beginning of a new month!

my pay was utterly disappointing.

it was pathetic.

but thats what i get for taking 4 days of leave and 1 day of "forced" leave.

yes i confirmed that i am only working till the end of october.

and if everything goes as planned, i'll be off on holiday.

and after that i'll find a new job.

that hopefully will be more meaningful but at the same time enjoyable.

i was thinking of finding a job that helps special needs children.

but i guess thats more towards voluntary work, i think.

the day at pasir ris park was tiring.

having to constantly ensure that the children don't fall while they climb up the playground.

and also having to take special note of this girl who would walk away without saying.

and with HER watching us as if we would mistreat the children.

and SHE doesnt seem to give us very specific directions on what to do.

leaving me quite blur on what to do next.

and also afraid of making a wrong decision.

playing with sand is definitely not advisable if you are bringing 19 kids at one time.

the weather didnt help.

it was hot and the grass was muddy.

the children were carrying sand in their little spades and walking around.

as i was squatting down, showing them how to make a mountain of sand, some of the sand fell on my head.

i hate it when that happens.

and by the time we brought them back to the centre, they were still full of sand.

we had to dust them one by one.

after that they had their lunch, it was chicken rice by the way, they had ice cream.

it was messy but i think they enjoyed it.

they had their bath and they were all changed into their party clothes.

and we had a little bumble bee in the class!

i suppose i could say he was the centre of attraction for that day.

his classmates were chasing him around the class trying to catch the bumble bee.

and some were singing a song aboutthe little bumble bee.

they had chicken nuggets, little chicken cocktails and potato chips for their afternoon snack.

and when they went home, they had so many gifts.

these kids are so very lucky.

(:

after work, i went for a dance lesson with qing and pig tan.

not my idea to go for that dance thing.

but it was kinda fun actually.

the theme of the dance was MTV.

i seriously had a hard time catching up.

and had a good time embarrassing myself.

but i had fun and might consider going there again.

might.

=p

and tomorrow is officially a holiday for me!

it will probably be taken away from me by my beloved mother.

she plans to take me to orchard to shop at isetan cos there's a sale.

but i planned to sleep in till about 12 or 1.

BOO.

my plan destroyed.

the place to meet on the 5th still hasnt been decided!

jere and khalis seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth again.

qiuxuan will be busy.

maybe we should just stick to pizza at my place or something.

or just go back to eighteen chefs.

things get so difficult when people are just so busy.

i'm lost in time.

i cant seem to put the dates right.

time is going toooooo fast.

yes, i'm here to complain!!!

just to rant on how unfair work can get.

its gonna be childrens day and the playgroup teachers didnt get a chance to choose a gift for the playgroup class at all.

and that is after SHE asked us to think about gifts for the kids.

and just today SHE went to buy gifts for the kids without asking any playgroup teacher to tag along.

BOOOOOOOO.

and SHE hasnt told me when i'll be stopping work.

and if you have been reading my blog you would have realised that it has been quite long time since i was supposed to stop work.

and SHE treats us as if we dont know anything.

SHE is just plain mean.

SHE is horrible.

very horrible.

ARGGGGHHHHHHH.

ok enough of complains.

anyway i bought gifts for them on my own.

(:

i really hope they like it!

and we'll be heading to pasir ris park on friday to celebrate childrens day.

i dont remember celebrating childrens day at a park when i was young.

but thats besides the point.

so if you wanna see how cute and adorable my kids are, you can go there =p

heehee.

i have no idea which part of the park we will be at.

we'll be somewhere at 9 maybe.

the past few days were fine.

had a super full dinner at lorong salleh yesterday.

and on saturday too (:

though i preferred saturday's dinner more than yesterday's one.

(:

and i'm getting fat.

too many buffets recently.

2 buffets actually.

one on the 14th of sept and the other on 18th sept.

and those 2 dinners.

time to exercise!

soon.

heehee.

we'll meet up on the 5th!

which is next friday.

FINALLY something good to look forward to.

oh and i have the day off on the 1st of october!

CHILDRENS DAY!

YES!!!!

it's finally the end of another work week!

today and yesterday was COMPLETE MADNESS.

and i think i have super cranky at work.

so i'm sorry if i was too cranky.

heehee =p

i will try not to be cranky next week.

provided i do not get irritated by that certain person.

ok make that 2 ppl.

we had waterplay yesterday.

usually i get totally drenched because i have to go under that mushroom thing.

but this time, i got drenched by this K1 girl with horribly contagious laughter.

the funny part was that i didnt get totally drenched alone this time.

heehee.

i guess i can say that i had most fun during this water play.

as usual i have nothing to say about miss j.

i am trying my very best to IGNORE.

ignore her ignorant behaviour.

i have learnt to work patiently.

=p

and today, we celebrated one of my student's birthday and the lantern festival.

it was chaotic.

the weather so didnt help at all.

everyone was everywhere.

but the parents were there to take care of their own kids.

the amount of mooncakes there was really scary.

and being a non-mooncake person it was really, in a way nauseating.

heehee i'm being mean.

this student's mother brought this really huge pomelo.

it was seriously big.

i didnt take photos.

i havent been taking any recently.

but thats besides the point.

i had fun in a way.

(:

and tomorrow i'll be celebrating the lantern festival with my family!

at lorong salleh!!

yay!

((((:

and time to meet up with the entire gang on 5th October.

i will not forget again.

i shall remind jere when i see him online.

yes, please decide where you guys wanna have dinner ok?

and qiuxuan please don't say eighteen chefs or sakae ok.

=p

we should try something new.

(:

i havent watched the movies i wanna watch!!!!!!

*pouts*

oh i'm going overseas soon!!!

can't wait!

ok i should stop here.

before i start blabbering nonsense.

(:

my nose is so very blocked.

i think i caught a cold.

and my mummy refuses to give me medicine until before i sleep.

and her reason is that she doesnt want me to sleep before my usual time so that i can help her with chores that she needs help with.

BOO.

and to make things worse, there's water play tomorrow.

i have to wake up like one and a half hours earlier than usual.

so i will have less sleep and i have to work an extra hour.

i should stop grumbling.

13th September 2007

it turned out that there wasnt a visitor from korea.

it seemed more like a huge tour group from korea.

this group of ppl visited the childcare centre today.

it was chaotic at first.

they came in and started taking photos.

i felt like i was in the zoo.

only that i was part of the exhibition.

i seriously cannot understand why they are here in the first place.

and today i almost died looking at miss j do her stuff.

she does things like 3 times slower than me.

ARGHHHHHHH.

i finally understand how miss eunice felt when i was on leave.

seriously.

the trip to the supermarket was pretty ok.

just that the supermarket was too small and crowded so the kids didnt get to do much.

and i managed to put this special needs girl to sleep today!

great accomplishment for me (:

and another thing to add into my list of stupid acts.

i knocked onto the handle of the metal gate while leaving the centre today.

i'm getting too clumsy.

tomorrow is friday!!!!

*beams*

12th September 2007

work was exhausting today.

we were told that there would be a visitor from korea coming to the centre tomorrow.

so the teachers were busy decorating the classrooms.

and we had to remove all the decorations that were unsightly.

a student was really sick today and she vomitted like twice.

once on me and the other time while miss eunice was carrying her.

i didnt react fast enough so abit of her vomit landed on me!

and to think i even tried to prevent the vomit from spilling on the floor.

another example of the many stupid things i try to do.

washing up the slide was tiring too.

i made the entire toilet smell of dettol.

heehee.

my hands still smell like dettol.

i almost wanted to scream at miss j today.

i really wonder how anyone can be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ignorant.

and i dun understand how she can just do things the way she does.

its just so very frustrating.

and to think that the supervisor isnt picking on her!

life is just sometimes so unfair.

anyway THANK YOU EUNICE FOR THE PINK EARRINGS!!!! ((:

should be bringing the children to the supermarket tomorrow (:

i hope i dun have to stay behind to watch the PG1 with miss j.

we will decorating the classroom to be like a minimart and a market.

we will also be making trains that they can play with.

i think it'll be fun.

and i cant help but wonder how long it will take for them to destroy the trains that we will be making.

=p

it took almost a minute for the msg to sink in when i read it in the morning. and it kept me pretty distracted for the rest of the day. i really dun wanna know what that actually means. you left me confused. period.

the week feels so long.

and its only tuesday.

the 4 days of leave doesnt exactly help.

i'm so looking forward to the end of the week actually.

next week is filled with things to look forward to.

monday is my last lesson of japanese!

shouldnt be continuing for the time being i suppose.

and thursday there is water play with the children.

friday they will be celebrating lantern festival!

i suppose it'll be fun (:

though it means i have to work longer than usual.

i shall buy mooncakes for them.

if i remember.

heehee.

i never liked mooncakes though.

my wadrobe is so limited now.

it doesnt help that most of my clothes are in the shade of pink.

time to shop for black tops =p

me and my excuses.

okies back from a really long week of irregular sleeping hours and horrible vegetarian food.

and i am very sure that i will never ever be a vegetarian.

yes i'm ok.

i think i should be ok with enough distractions (:

and its back to work again tomorrow.

looking forward to see my students!

but not looking forward to facing the horrible management ppl.

ok i had my break so i shouldnt be complaining.

now here are some photos! (:

ok this was the yummy buffet i had at vienna international buffet at united square with my relatives.

this is the nice smelling fruit tea that pig tan had.

smething i have never ever tried and i dont think i ever will. the smell is too horrible =p

chocolate coated marshmallow!

the crayfish was really yummy. (:

cheesecake!

this was the birthday cake the childcare centre had for national day.

and this is the very cute cupcake my mummy bought for me from prima deli (:

this is the honey cornflakes that we taught the children to make.

and pictures of a very beautiful rainbow i saw on my way home one evening.

and the little birthday cake for val and khalis at eighteen chefs.

and the treetop walk. its pig tan and me!

the nice view from the bridge.

another notice board that i decorated!

val and me on 31st August

me and qiuxuan on 31st August

my little miss lucky top!

and my new white wallet.

and this was where my daddy used to stay. we went there yesterday with my uncle and some of my grandma's friends from penang. we were standing outside and this lady suddenly appeared. she was one of the employees of the company and she let us in!
she was nice. but it is nothing like what it used to be.

ok thats all the photos that i have since august maybe.

yes i think thats all for now. (:

September.

didn't exactly have a great start to it.

what i believed was about to happen happened.

so i guess all i can say is that she is away from all her pain and suffering.

and that she is in a better place now.

you'll always be remembered and loved.

(:

ok wont be online for a while.

not that i'm online that often.

but i guess u get what i mean.

*sorry to the colleagues cos i might be taking leave from tues to fri if they allow me to.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VALERIE!!!

ok i think this is the third time i'm saying it so far.

haha.

things have been fine ever since i last blogged.

which means since yesterday.

but i believe something bad will happen soon.

though it could be considered a huge blessing in disguise.

i really dunno.

time will tell.

28th August 2007

2007-08-28T20:36:00.000+08:00

it's nearing the end of the month again!

and it means that almost 8 months of 2007 have passed.

and also means that i'll be getting my pay soon!!!!

heehee.

cant wait for next month.

there will be the mooncake festival to look forward to.

and there'll be another family gathering!

(:

friday will be a holiday for me!

becos it's teachers day (:

japanese is seriously getting alot more difficult.

i bought the dictionary but i have no idea how to read the kanji.

maybe there's another dictionary specially for kanji.

i shall find out soon.

and i will do my homework.

soon.

=p

i shall stop being lazyyyyyyyyy.

i spent my sunday at this civil servants club @ bukit batok.

i never knew such places existed but it does.

anyway my uncle is a member so we went there for lunch.

after lunch, which wasnt that fantastic, they(my parents, uncle and auntie) left for the jackpot room and left me and my sisters with their 8 year old son.

first we went bowling.

and i was the only idiot wearing a skirt while bowling.

haha.

and i succeeded in embarrassing myself as usual.

so we played until like 3.

and we had to wait for almost 3 hours for them to finish.

and we had to tolerate all the nonsense from that little boy.

he got so amazed by an oil blotter.

the place was full of school kids in school uniform.

ok that had no link to whatever i was talking about.

i shall stop talking about that.

i spent my saturday morning walking at macritchie nature reserve.

i have no idea why i thought it was a great idea to do that walk.

i thought it would be nice to walk there and to do that tree top walk thing.

BUT the path was so muddy and there were ants that were HUGE.

and while crossing that bridge, i didnt get to see any animals.

and the bridge was just 250m long.

i imagined it to be longer.

the walk to that bridge is maybe 4 or 5 times longer than the bridge itself.

so in conclusion i feel that it is so not worth it to go for that tree top walk.

and my friday was spent with joey, qx, val, jamie and khalis!

i had a great time laughing.

and thinking about how life was back then.

maybe about eh 3 to 4 years ago.

i so miss those times.

we had a wonderful dinner at eighteen chefs.

and i tasted maybe one of the nicest brownies i have eaten in my life.

the chef was really nice!

and after that we went for bubble tea and we went walking around aimlessly looking for a place to sit down and talk.

amazingly we found a really nice spot.

near the bus stop, right behind cheers, below some really short trees that looked like some mini coconut tree.

we talked, laughed, sang.

that's what i really miss i guess.

the company.

((((:

i cant wait for the next time we meet up.

which will probably be on 15th sept.

hopefully jere can join us.

I'M BORED.

i shall sleep early tonight.

(:

okies everyone take care! *hugs*
