Disappointed

How good is it that if you needed someone badly and found out she's not around? Worse still, she might not even know what is happening ever since and still indulging into her so-called work. So what if one is at the top of what she is doing? If life management sucks, considerably a failure. Ignorance isn't an excuse. Reflection is the answer. You can't be assuming everything is working in the way that it is. Even if it is, it may not be reacting the way that it suppose to be. When one's needed, you have to abide but when you are needing help, Look for yourself.

I'm disappointed.

Sometimes a buddy really helps alot although it has no business in it. Once needed badly, they attend to you even though they are in the middle of their work. This is what I call buddy.

Awaiting the Bloom day

Yes, from Mizzy's post, I'm sick. Down with fever. Saw a doctor, took a jab. Good jab indeed, took less than a day bring down a 38.9C fever. Maybe god is there to test me, with a growing sore throat and a new comer, Stomach Flu. Throwing out from mouth and ass isn't a good feeling. A further test to hit me is 2 failing grades from UOL-LSE. IBM & MKTG. When is my Blooming day? When is the test over?

How 'great' is this?

Yes!

The title says it all.

Both Dear and I fall sick at the same time.

And yes! I'm on MC today. No teaching today because my sore throat is really serious.

But no matter what, still have to go back tomorrow.

Just hope that Dear and I get well soon.

My stupidness

I want to give myself a smack in the face.

Should have thought of using doub;e-sided tape instead of glue.

My stupidness resulted in me spending the past 2 hours gluing 10 cubes.

Arghh!!!!

Counting down

8 more teaching days.

But I am in a dilemna. Happy that I can have my social life back again. But sad that time is tight for me to finish the syllabus and afraid that the kids will not do well. Most importantly, I will miss them. I really will.

Going to the zoo with my 3E class. Will be an experience for me. Hope that it won't rain on Tuesday and we will have an enjoyable trip!

So many things yet to be done....

Melancholic

Feeling kind of upset over sue's blog. Mark and she went for the Phantom of the Opera at The Esplanade over the weekend. A show where I felt something for it. Well, nobody's perfect. Don't even think about it when you're not up to it. Shouldn't have seen that post. Shucks!

Exams approaching and I'm still not prepared for it.

Vista Wannabe

I just found a cool plugin for XP, perhaps around for many years. Remember the side bar you see on Vista OS? The plugin adds an interactive shortcut bar making it a breeze for those vista wannabes.

Check This Out.

Resurrection

Prelims over. It may not have ended, in fact, it just started. The main UOL exams is beginning from May. The thought of it really push a person's mood to the limit.

I wondered if sometimes it's really my problem or others. I prefer not to say anything when I sense something is amiss. The party may, in fact take this opportunity for blaming you for ignoring them. Don't they think further? Sometimes, things that I do, may not be in favour of others but why is others keep blaming me for the way that I react rather than reflecting where the problem really lies? It may not always be me, it can be themselves. And when you reason out, unknowingly, their reaction will be, why you always reason out? This entire thing may get started with themselves not others and they choose to blame others and never themselves.

I'm getting tired of this family, this place that I'm staying. There is practically no comfortable place to be at home. A pest is around and everyone is praying to get it's favours. I wonder why? Anyone who starts to fight back, gets nonsense from people who pray at the pest. Studies is very important, especially at my stage. My future depends on how well I do in LSE. A good job and salaries depend much on it. My future house, my ideal home, my comfortable environment........

CC introduce me to some rich household whose kids of primary 2 and 4 needs expertise in their mathematics. Though I have agreed but I'm having second thoughts. I remembered that I hated math during PSLE, especially the part on allocating units. I wondered if the kids ask me to solve something that I, myself doesn't know shit, how am I going to get away with it? Dilemma; To tutor = earn extra cash for my studies. To let go = look for another better job.

Updates!

Sick of doing lesson plans all day long. Haiz.... its so hard to be creative! So yah, just taking time off to blog what happened on my birthday!

Actually, it turned out that many of my friends remember my birthday! Even a friend whom I am not close with and seldom talk to in school, smsed me to wish me Happy Birthday. Of course, there are the usual ones like my poly clique and secondary school clique who always remember my birthday.

Of course... the best birthday wishes is from Dear.

Met up with Dear at Vivocity after handing in my assignment. Was in such a rush. Its a rare opportunity that I am back in school so have to look for teaching materials diligently. Anyway, it was already 6p.m by the time I reached Vivocity.

Had dinner at Earl's Swensens and I must say the food there is quite nice. Its different from the normal swensens because normals swensens do not have salad bar. The menu is different too because at Earl's they have more choices.

Watched 'Music and Lyrics' after shopping around. Oh yah, Dear bought me a jacket from Espirit. Love the jacket so much! Have been searching around for a black jacket that I like and I finally own it on my birthday!

Nothing too special this birthday because Dear is having his prelims. So I can understand. Haha but he said will make up for it after his prelims! Hee....

So here are some photos that we took on the 12th of March 2007.



I love this photo very much! [Dear too!]



Ha cheeky Dear Dear.



That's us!

Exhausted

When one's exhausted, even the simplest question takes ages to solve. I wonder why this evening I'm so tired. Physically and mentally. What's worse is you can't find a proper and cosy place to rest...not even your home.. That moronic bitch keeps thinking that the room is solely hers and use it as she likes. Living room is full of wooden planks and siting on it for hours is no joke. Resulting achy backs and bums. No place for me to lie, if this goes on, I would probably be declared mad.

Wed is my first prelim paper and I don't even know what I have been studying for the past weeks. No not low confidence.

God, please help me!

"Focusation"

Dar was complaining that she is the only one contributing to this blog, not really.. Exams are approaching. Prelims starting next week and I'm digging holes into my notes. Couldn't really blog much on the new year happenings. Basically, the usual relatives visitings and money taking.

Found the title of this song on radio and decided to share with you all! Wish me good luck for my exams!

Contrasting Days

Two days into practicum le.

Got a terrible headache on the first day but on the second day, I am so energetic, even now! Even went back to the institution to photocopy lesson plans. Hmm... should have went earlier because the library closes at 8 and there are still quite alot I have not photocopied.

I am really determined to do well but I guess, sometimes, luck plays a part too.

The year of PIG



Hello everyone out there reading this blog! I'm so excited! After a wait of more than 10 years, its my year again! Since my brother (Nicholas) is also born in the year of the pig and he has a blog here, I have decided to contribute a surprise entry here! What I am going to share with all of you is what we pigs do when we celebrate our year! Hmm.... I guess all humans out there do the same thing as us, pigs!


Read on to find out if we are really similar!


First, we will have a spring-cleaning of our pig sty. As you all know, we pigs are quite sloppy in the way we live and since even humans are celebrating our year, we have to respect ourselves too right? So yah, we had a hard time cleaning our sty! But I must say its all worth it lah.



Next up will be going to the salon for some hair make-over! We pigs also want to look presentable and maybe hope to attract more pigs of the opposite sex in the year of pig! Pigs like humans, need companions de mah. So don't laugh at us okay.



After all that is done, we will be ready for the reunion dinner! Yes! We eat together too! We pigs have strong community ties okay. Just like the steamboat that you humans eat, we have 'steamboat' too. We have all our food gathered in the centre and we'll form a circle and start our feast!



Okay enough said, I have to run now. There is a feast waiting for me now!
Have a Happy and fruitful Pig Year!
Collect more Ang Baos and win more money!

Sign off as the cutest pig of the world,
Miss Piggy.

Honesty and fretting over hair

I am an honest person!

Bought a magazine at a newspaper stand in the morning before I go to school. Gave the Auntie a Ten-Dollar note to pay for a $2.50 magazine. By right, I should get back $7.50 right? But as I took the change given by the Auntie in my hand, I realized there were 4 pieces of Two-Dollar note, a dollar coin and one fifty-cent. Obviously, the Aunties had given me $2 extra! At that point of time, I was thinking to myself: 'Should I keep quiet about it?' But very quickly, I told myself that I should not do it. And below was my conversation with the Auntie.

Me: Auntie, you gave me $2 more.
Auntie: Oh! I'm so forgetful! You're such a nice lady, will tell me that I gave you more change.
Me: (Just smile)
Auntie: You're so nice! Let me wish you 新年发大财!
Me: (Smile again) 一样一样.
Auntie: If not ah, I will scold and scold behind your back. Haha....
Me: (--) !!


So, I'm really happy that I did not allow the greedy side to take over at that situation! Hee...
Anyway, I'm fretting over what I should do to my hair now. Should I do soft straightening or perming? Haiz... really worried over my hair condition sia.

The S-Eleven Terminology

S11, also known as money has become a burden in everyone's life. Everyone is dying to get it legally or illegitimately. Once you earn your first thousand, you started to spend your thousand and one.

When having supper last night, CK was, as usual complaining his depleting fortune, putting blame on HS for the cause of it. I was on my verge to scold him good and proper but given his strong arbitrary character, I hold back to avoid unhappiness. I was thinking, "Since you've chosen her as your partner? Why are you still complaining on her character? If she's such a spendthrift, then break up. She's born by her parents not you therefore you shouldn't be the one commanding her against her will (I mean COMMANDING, not commenting)." He's drawing a monthly NS allowance, which gave him a solid $700/-. He is still complaining he have not enough to spend.

I was talking to HS moments ago on MSN. The usual, telling me that she's low in cash now. She's worse, earning about $1440nett a month and also complaining.

I wonder if they have think of my situation? No income since ORD, which is like 6 months back and not complaining much. Though I have the support from darling occasionally but this is not being responsible. I'm working at 7-Eleven, 3 days a week from 11pm-7am but dad is objecting on it. He's telling me that the $100 that he gave me a month is sufficient if I spend it on my needs only, even can use it for savings at the end. How am I suppose to tell him that this is absolutely not enough? He was thinking that everyone could be like him, staying a home everyday after work with no leisure. CK and CJ share his thoughts.

I better be getting at least a 2nd Upper Honours Degree minimum, if not, even darling is going to look down on me.

Money - The rich says it is second, compared to their hobbies. The poor says without it, don't even think about hobbies.

I want to be the one having lots of it.
