Getting Sporty~~~

2007-10-16T22:20:00.000+08:00

Recently my 2 pals r getting very sporty. They love to play ball game esp...

They are playing as if they are training for the SEA Games. If neither 1 of u wanted the ping pong ball then just leave it alone. Dun hit it around.. And when the ping pong ball get dented, you get angry with it. Have you ever tot of its feeling? It has never wanted to be hit here n there.. 2 of you started it. And when you are upset over the dented ball that resulted in the end of the game, it tried to hide it dented part and still try it means to cheer you up... Do you know why the ping pong ball is doing this?

Other that table tennis, my wonderful friend had also fall in love with golf! The ball stays there, wait for the golfer to walk step by step, gets closer and closer to it. Then at 1 point, the club will swing and hit the ball, resulted it flying further away from the golfer. The lil golf ball is not worry at all.. cos it know that the golfer will try her means to find it again. Then the whole game will go by again. But my lil golf ball, do you know there's a word called "tired"? If 1 day the golfer gets tired of searching for you, then what will you do? Will you be sad? Or you just simply sit there and wait for another golfer to come by?

There is another favourite game... Archery! You kept shooting arrow on the board and gets so excited when it hits the bull's eye. But do you know it hurts the most when you hit the bull's eye? And of all people, you are the 1 who is the 1 that kept aiming at it. It is extra painful when it gets hit by you...

Conclusion: Dun get too sporty ok? Playing too many sports at 1 go will result in injury.. physically and emotionally...

不能说的感动

This year marks that I had spent a quarter of a century on Earth. Just when I tot that it would be just a normal eat n drink bday.. Things get a lil' too exciting and surprising for me...

30th Sept 2007
The NIE usual gang met up for a wonderful meal at Waraku Jap Restaurant. The food is really Fabulous.. Yummy! The gang treated me the meal, Peiyu bought me a sunflower, Wei Qiang bought me a box of choco, Bee hong sponsored my bowling and I had a wonderful gaming session at Paradiz Center.. The arcade there has games of my ERA.. Puzzle fighter, Puzzle Bubble, Fifa Cup 2000.. Really is like 回到过去... Not 4getting my treat to the gang at the famous Rochor Soy Bean stall.

05 Oct 2007
Peiyu and Bee hong sent a bouquet of Tulips to school. I was so shocked! They even sent a box of Hello Panda biscuits to me. They still remembered that it is my favourite snack during NIE days. Totally a booster on a slight sick, morale down and tired afternoon...

A student from my previous P5 class bought me some stuff from Bodyshop and a slice of S/B cake. She insisted that I must keep it. Was so touched by her lil action. Out of coincident... She gotten me the S/B series from B.S which I love.

Jie Jie and xiao mei bought me a watch.. Not too blink-blink but yet the way I like it to be.. Just the way I like it. Yeah! Mama bought me a Mango Moose Cake from 4Leaves.. Nice! I was terribly sick that day after tuition but still managed to eat cake with everyone.

06 Oct 2007
Went tuition and was total down after that. Ate med and KO all the way. But I drag myself out to meet the members of my usual 4 Ladies Gang - Hui, Eng, Karen, and Ben and Ah Er. So touched! Ah er travelled all the way from Jurong to meet me in Tamp. I was so pale and weak so every1 compromise with me and meet at TM instead. Thanks folks! The folks treated me a great meal at Fish&Co, bought me a Adidas Top which I saw when we went shopping previously, Hui gotten me the Secret OST (usual ah.. we always give Jay's stuff to each other. haha) and the card that make me speechless and so touched.. My wife designed a card and wrote a few words in it...

The reason why I felt so surprised and touched is my wife is not the type that will say flowery words but her that few words with her own pinch of humour really holds so much meaning and really makes me so 感动.. really is 说不出的感动...

Roll over to 07 Oct 2007 - Lots of Sms and a list of wishes on friendster

08 Oct 2007
Feeling real sick but still go to work. A few colligs showered me with belated wishes.. Seok Hong and Joycelyn (school only 2 music teachers) asked me to go over to their cubicle and sang Bday song for me. So cute..

Nonetheless, it was hectic and super tiring at work today. Totally drained and feeling extra tired probably due to the not so healthy condition. I ended my remedial at 330pm, feeling tired and hungry and my gd fren 4gotten to ta bao lunch for me. I was planning to eat the cup noodles in my drawer. I saw Mel and grumbled to her "I'm so hungry~~" She dragged me into the staff room and TA DA! Everyone was on standby and sang Bday song for me... and there was a table full of food. I really was also touched to tears. Just when I felt that everything had gone so wrong lately and having 2nd thoughts about my future, they made me felt so warm again. The mastermind, Mel made me an oreo cheese cake, Mrs Fong and Kelly prepared sandwiches and fruits platelet and Jo made pasta. Not 4getting the lil puppy stuff toy that Jay gave me.

After all these, the bday turned out to be so special when I tot it would be as normal as it could me. Everyone thought that what they had done is nothing... just a simple act but they never knew how much impact they had done to me esp recently I was in the extreme down condition. Really thank you! (*bow*)

I learnt 2 things: "Don't expect things so that there is no disappointment" and "Every lil thing that you do can really be an impact on others"

Lastly "Happy Birthday, Evelyn! Smile everyday as there are so many things that worth your smile rather than your frown"

不能说的秘密

2007-09-24T21:38:00.000+08:00

犹如你不能了解为什么我一定要知道你那不能说的秘密，我也不能了解为什么你一直不肯说出口。

这是你给我的惩罚吗？如果是，那我想告诉你。。。你成功了！这一切不只是种惩罚，而是种折磨。

你难道不知道我在乎的不是这件事，而是你。。。

想回到过去

2007-09-22T23:08:00.000+08:00

Slap my BIG mouth.. Ought to be punished.. My big mouth gotten myself into a deep shit. On top of that, my impatience and quick temper.. A total mess I had gotten myself into...

After a happy and enjoyable dinner, 木头人 smsed WQ, "I tell you just now I was very angry with Evelyn." Followed by Missing In Action and no further explanation. What the... You sentenced Evelyn to "death" without telling her the crime that she made!!!

Usual and typical me, I confronted 木头人 on the next day..
Me: Why are you angry with me yday? What did i do?
木头人: Nothing lah.. Not angry lah
Me: If you are not angry then why did you tell WQ that you are angry with me?
木头人: That's yday lah.
Me: So you WERE angry with me. What is it regarding?
木头人: No lah over already
Me: Tell me lah.. so that I wouldn't do the same thing again.
(sounding perfectly fine till this point)
木头人: Aiyah.. You will sure do it again de loh
Me: (fire up level 1) You dun tell me of cos I'll do it again mah cos I dun even know what and where is the fault.
木头人: never mind
Me: (fire up level 2) What is it just say lah.. you know I don't mind 1
木头人: really never mind
Me: (maximum level) I giving you 1 last chance.. say or not?
木头人: No..
Me: FINE! (stormed away...)

I know I'm in the wrong lah.. but here I'm trying to solve the problem but why he muz avoid it. That's really irritated me eh..

绊脚石 suddenly became so useful.. Really need to thank him.. He went to chat w 木头人 and found out that 木头人 was angry due to something which I had said over dinner. But he didnt want to said out the details as he knew that it wasn't my fault actually. If just my character being so candid and straight forward. He will learn to accept that I'm just a person and he do not wish that I need to compromise myself when talking to him in the future. He just want that I can still be my usual self...

WAH! So wei da! I make him angry then vent temper on him.. He still can say such things. Touched to max! Either his EQ is sky high or he, himself is from sky... Haha..

But then now... I'm trying to "recover" the whole issue. I sms-ed several times but I think he went back into sky.. So no M1 reception over there so cannot reply me.

Idiot mann.. Make me feel so guilty now! What can I do now to 回到过去?

Conclusion: Sing"想回到过去, 试着让故事继续至少不再让你气我而去"

Battle of 木头人 and 绊脚石

2007-09-17T19:47:00.000+08:00

Just when Miss Sunshine thought that life would be peaceful from then on. She bumped into a 木头人. A interesting and very 木 de 木头人. Can you imagine the challenge to make a 木头人 moves, talks and responss.. Plus worse of all, is a frowning 木头人... Miss Sunshine hates unhappiness, 苦瓜脸. So she took up a secret mission of making 苦瓜脸 de 木头人 smiles everyday. So far she is enjoying her lil' accomplishments now and then..

Just when Miss Sunshine are almost coming to a common path, a 绊脚石 appeared! A HUGE 1 somemore. 木头人 now cannot move already due to that gigantic 绊脚石! NND! Now Miss Sunshine needs to think of means to remove that 绊脚石...

Conclusion: Plotting in progress..

A new chapter of my book

2007-08-19T12:21:00.000+08:00

Let's not talk about work.. Things are as per normal, slightly improving cos I find a motivation to go to school.

I had decided to close my chapter on "Kitty Lover and Kitty Slayer"... I heard cheers instantly when I officially make the statement. Reasons are simple and clear. I bet there's no need for me to elaborate. People who had closely follow this chapter knows it all.

I know it's time cos I'm no longer looking forward for my daily "porridge" and both of us totally lost interest in cooking it.

I had lots of fun, anger, encouragement and care... Thanks god there isn't any tears. Haha... Anyway, Thank you and it's time we flip the page over and write a new chapter without each other in it. All the best to you...

You might ask so what's going to happen now? Ermm... I'm starting a new chapter - Miss Sunshine and Mr Rain. No.. is not that Korean Rain.. I wish it is too... Haha... Only similarity is both Rain are equally TALL. Haha... All thanks to the gossip mongers to make me take notice of Mr Rain.

Wait a minute, I'm not closing the previous chapter due to the new one. Believe or not is up to you. Anyway, this chapter will surely not be as eventful as the previous 1 cos "I dun eat and shit at the same place". See... ahui, I remembered my policy as I'll always do. Ehh... If my prediction is true, then this chapter will be a new hit! Haha... We shall see how to chapter goes...

Conclusion: Sing "You're my sunshine after the rain..." (90 Degrees - Because of you)

Back from "Outer Space"

2007-07-29T23:15:00.000+08:00

Hihi all,

Finally I'm back from "outer space". haha... Have been lost in the world of books, marking, admin work, "crazy" children.. Haha..

Nothing much to say about work or maybe I should say, "too sick to mention them". In conclusion, tough but still trying hard to survive.

Currently having some plans for the future but so far decision in Boss's hands. Waiting for their ultimate reply... pray for me that things will go smoothly cos I'm actually not very confident of the outcome.

Going off...

Coming to an end - My Beloved Holiday

2007-06-20T15:10:00.000+08:00

My holiday is coming to an end... Gg to be a REAL teacher in a few days time. Just hope things will turn out well... Right now I'm kind of recharge after a not-too-bad Batam getaway.

Yday went to this place - Ten Years After Pub (380 Upper Bukit Timah Road, 678040) The place is relaxing and the people there are wonderful. The crowd is mainly the older generation. There's a live band and anyone who wish to be a "Superstar" can just go up the stage and sing with the band. If not there is a pool table at the back of the pub. A great chillout venue. The place suddenly reminded me of the show "金枝玉叶" where Leslie Cheung always go to this pub and has a singing session with some uncles. Haha...

A friend sang the song 海阔天空 by Beyond. Thumbs up boy! I wish that you are able to 自由的走遍千里找到自己的一片海阔天空...

Hereby I delicate this song to all of you...

海阔天空
作词：黄家驹作曲：黄家驹

今天我寒夜里看雪飘过怀着冷却了的心窝飘远方
风雨里追赶雾里分不清影踪天空海阔你与我可会变（谁没在变）
多少次迎着冷眼与嘲笑从没有过放弃过心中的理想
一霎那恍惚若有所失的感觉不知不觉已变淡心里爱（谁明白我）
原谅我这一生不羁放纵爱自由也会怕有一天会跌倒
为了理想谁人都可以那会怕有一天只你共我
仍然自由自我永远高唱我歌走遍千里

Recently had fall in love with this song

2007-06-18T22:22:00.000+08:00

Recently a fren sang this song in KTV after that I fell in love with the song.. Hope you guys enjoy it.

Lyrics (translation):
You told me
That you couldn't love anybody
I finally realised what you meant
When I saw that you were afraid of everybody

How ironic is it
If us two met
only to get hurt?

With all my heart
I have to tell you this
All I want to see is the real YOU

You still don't smile very well
Because even now, you still wear sadness around you

If the only reason I was born
was so I could meet you,
do you think I'll be able to change everything?

With all my heart
I have to tell you this
We're hurt, but we've still got time
With all my love
I love you
I want to wipe away
All the pain that falls on you
I for You

With all my heart
I have to tell you this
If only you could smile at me like that
forever...
With all my love
I love you
I want to gather every piece of light
and give it all to you
I for You

Thoughts after a week in school

2007-06-01T21:43:00.000+08:00

1 week had passed... Situation? Not very positive eh. Suddenly I'm out of words to describe what had happened and my feelings. Maybe I had complaint too much over the few days till I'm too tired to talk and think about it.]

Workaholic Evelyn is back again. Staring at the piles of work and couldn't wait to get rid of them. But it is going to be a stamina-taxing run for the next few weeks. The same statement that I was said, "Can handle lah. No worries." But I can tell you deep inside my heart, I'm damn worry and insecure loh. I really have no confidence in myself.

Just when I'm trying to be (or should say trying to act) strong and brave and confident enough to handle the challenges ahead, why must you make such a statement that hit me right on the bull's eye? Do you know that I nearly crumble off?

Me: Aiyah, no worries k? I can manage it.
M: I know at the end of the day, you'll be able to pull through cos given your character you'll never allow yourself to fail. But I'm worry about the process that you are going through. I don't wish to see you going through it so tough and rough.
Me: (totally out of words to reply, after a long pause...) Thank you. Really thank you.

Why must you always pull out the weaker side of me as much as I wanted to hide it from everyone else? Why are you always ensuring me that it's fine to be weak and dependent to others at times? Why must you make me feel that you seem to be the one that I can be dependent on? Do you know that I dislike feeling weak and vunerable in front of you?

PS: I just need time to be alone and sort out my thoughts and plan my route carefully.

Diabetically Sweet~~~

2007-05-29T01:22:00.001+08:00

Did anyone ever read bedtime stories to you? I had never been told bedtime story till...

M: On a piece of beautiful green land, there were many cows. The cows saw a fence and decided to jump over it.

Me: Cows??? U mean sheep?

M: Ohh! I just testing if u r being attentive to me. Ok... The sheep decided to jump over the fence.

The 1st sheep was black in colour and it jumped over the fence easily. The 2nd sheep..

Me: How come the sheep did not make a sound when it jump? Like "Bleat" or something of sort?

M: Alright.. The 1st sheep was black in colour and it jumped over the fence easily. "BLEAT" The 2nd sheep was blue in colour and it jumped over the fence "BLEAT", following the 1st black sheep. The 3rd sheep was a fat and huge 1. It jumped and.. BANG! It landed on the fetch and broke it. The 4th and 5th sheep had no fence to jump over, so they just walked passed the fence.

Me: U cheater! What broke the fence? You r simply lazy to make the "BLEAT" sound.

M: Aiyah! Shhh.. Let me cont'd lah. Here came a hungry wolf who wanted to eat the sheep. It followed closely behind them and suddenly... A T-Rex appeared and gobbled up all the 5 sheep. The wolf quickly ran away and escaped.

The T-Rex wasn't happy after eating all the sheep bcos it was having a bad cough. Just then another T-Rex appeared and said, "Go and pour another half cup of hot water and imagine it is a magical potion. Drink it and your throat will feel comfortable and the cough will go away."

Me: LOL... Drank already lah.

M: Now just lay back and relax. The horrible cough had gone away and you are starting to feel sleepy. Close your eyes and by the next morning, you will be healthy once again.

Me: Kekekez...

M: Go and sleep now. Good night!

Me: Good Night!

Conclusion: The story is kind of crappy but you made me feel diabetically sweet. Thanks!

Recent Actions

2007-05-26T15:59:00.000+08:00

YEAH! Those boring seminars and workshops are finally over! But need to report to school on Monday already. Haiz... my greatest nightmare has finally come. So many uncertainity and insecurity.

Yday attended NIE D&D. It was fun but the food was CRAP! haha... Will upload the pictures soon.

Recent thought...
I always thought I'm contented with the current situation. But more and more uncertainity has arise. Have I become greedier? Haiz... How long more this will cont'd to drag? Or should I put an end to it? But I think I'm too deep into it to pull myself out. Are you going to do something too? Or we will both sit on the problem? Hmm.. or you have never see it as a problem?

Updating In Process

2007-05-18T23:26:00.000+08:00

Hiyo... Missing in action for a long long time. Pai Seh ah..

Practicum had ended for about a week, still knid of miss the kids esp when 1 whole bunch of NIE teachers sit down and chat about our practicum experiences.

Currently busy attending seminars and workshops as part of the beginning teachers induction programme. Conclusion? BORING! But what to do...

Recently also have been catching up with the NIE peeps and enjoying myself as I'm to deprived over the 10 weeks of practium.

Thinking that I can comfortably sit and count down to my reporting day to my posted school, but nah.. things are not that simple cos the 2 words are haunting me - CROSS OVER!

For the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with all these NIE Lingo... Cross over meaning you are offered to take a 2-yr degree in education in NIE after I had completed my dip. This 2-yr degree will be paid for my MOE but in exchange, no pay leave for 2 years and extension of my bond for another 2 years.

Many things to consider before I make my final decision... Pay, money, my expenses for the 2 years, time, age, whether I will be teaching for the rest of my life... Haiz.. Being so vexed, confused and stress. Well, like what someone had said to me, Please stop stressing yourself, take a step at a time, by 4th Jun, we will know if you are being offered a seating in the degree programme so please just relax and don't stress for the "unhappened"

On top of this major stress, I suddenly need to handle another source of stress.. Trying to balance my work (now is all those seminars thingy), catching up w friends, personal life, personal time and family. Well. I still unable to balance all so sure certain peeps are being left out or I had overlooked certain issues. Hmm.. Beginning to feel some tension arising... Ottoke? There is only 1 Evelyn and yet some many things to do and get use to it. Please be more understanding and patient with me can? Dun stress me any further..

最委屈的一天

2007-05-03T15:31:00.000+08:00

最委屈的一天。。。

开始问自己我为了什么对一群毫不相干的小孩付出这么多，值得吗？说的难听，这只是一份吃力不讨好的工作。

我挨得了这三年吗？我无言已对。。。

Me~~

2007-04-21T20:13:00.000+08:00

Long time no update everyone with my latest moves.. Today nan de I so free cos suppose want to go out with my girl gang but.... I became "paralyse". Had a extreme backache. Could not even stand or walk properly so I lay down for the entire day. Suspected reason is these few days have been checking students' files so all the carrying of files and my extremely heavy bag had resulted in my old problem to occur. Haiz.. this job is so hazardous. Now felling much much better so can sit up and blog. haha..

my praticum is coming to an end soon. 3 more stressful weeks. now preparing for the children's SA1.. Feeling more stress up as compared to them. Nonetheless i will always keep this line in mind, "relax, pace yourself..."

Well I guess i did made some improvements in this area. I had managed to squeeze time out to meet up w friends, go out with my sisters... Althought I felt extremely tired but I guess it is worth the tiredness. So the you-know-who-you-are.. Stop nagging at me k?

hmmm.. suddenly felt so pathetic... other than work it seems like i had nothing else to talk about... I decided to omit all the stupid details of the school children. Need a break off from them.. Haha..

Other than work? really nothing much.. hmmm... the recent issue is the 1 related to TRUST!

I guess everyone had experienced hearing some rumours or gossips about someone whom you are closed to. Somehow or rather, the rumours and gossips had resulted you to grow suspicious of your own friend. Well, it just happened to me.

Maybe people will feel that i should have trusted my friend because is my friend. A close friend somemore... But dunno why i just have the split moment of 疑心 over the person. Probably it is due to lack of security provided by my friend, lack of confident, past experience of trusting the wrong person and track records of the friend.

But after some thoughts and a very confident statement made by my friend - "我从来没有骗过你" I decided to throw in my trust for the person once again. My rationale is since no prove can be provided regarding the issue, i should give the person the benefit of doubth. Cannot sentence the fellow to death without concrete prove right? And there is no point continuing a relationship with another person if you have 猜疑心.

Like what ahui said, "hopefully you are right this time." Yes! I trully hope so.

Satisfaction~~~~~

2007-04-03T20:55:00.000+08:00

I had my formal observation by my NIE side today. I was really tensed and nervous. Worrying that the powerpoint and video will not be able to load, the computer can't work, forget to bring things to class...

Luckily it turned out well... The funny thing is my class is feeling more relieved than myself when everything is over. And lesson is over, they saw my lecturer waiting for me, one of them asked me to go meet my lecturer, they ensured that they can make their way down (The school culture is teachers of last period need to send the pupils to 1st floor).

When I reached home, I saw this email...

" Hi Miss Peck, So how is it? Did 'Mr Long' said that you tought well? "

I had never felt such great sense of satisfaction until I received this simple email from a boy from my class. I was shocked for a moment then the warmth filled me.

102% Touched by a simple act!

Time Flies... A corny statement but it so damn true

2007-03-16T20:12:00.000+08:00

With a blink of eye... Time just flies away...

My 1 week break is coming to an end! And I accomplished nothing.. really NOTHING! All my work is left undone! OMG! So.. What had I done for the past few days?

Starting from last Sat, my days were simply filled with shopping, watching movie, facial, eating and singing K. How exciting ah? Haha... Giving my brain a complete rest but.. a bit over rested till it refused to do work now. I will start doing my work after I finish this posting.

爱情其实是很复杂的东西。有时候越暧昧反而越浪漫。真正最美好的部分不见得是摊在阳光下的。

I happened across this statement while watching Hana Kimi. How perfectly phrase and I simply have to agree with it. Those in my 4 Ladies Gang will know that Evelyn is famous of emerging herself into "Ai Mei" relationships.. Being together but not attach. I can see 3 heads nodding already. Haha... What to do... I love the night more than the day, the moon more than the sun, the dark more than the light.

I think I simply like being in such situations. I simply enjoy the compaionship, attention, care and concern but no strings attached and no committment involved. To some women, they felt that I'm trying to be a female "player" but I never ever play with anyone feelings at all mah. I sincerely treat the other party nice 1 eh.. It might be unfair to the other person if the "expectations" and "demands" are more than I can give. Normally when such cases happened, then I will give a "all the best" handshake and wave bye bye.

Upon deeper reflection, I think I simply have no courage to commit or promise anyone anything. I also dun want anyone to promise me anything cos I'm afraid that the promises will be broken.

Of course there are some negative points when being in such situations. I have no rights and are in no positions to question, request and demand anything. Sometimes will have the feeling of "hanging in the air". It somehow seem like a waste of time and energy, investing on a share with no returns. But till this moment, the pros are more than the cons.

Maybe 1 day I will find my 降落点.

她和他的故事

2007-03-07T19:18:00.001+08:00

她和他的故事

她和他在很偶然的情况下相遇与相识。

他给予她支持，她给予他鼓励。
他带给她欢乐，她带给他欢笑。
他赋予她阳光，她赋予他温暖。
他帮她赶走眼泪，她帮他赶走孤寂。
他聆听她的牢骚，她聆听他的啰嗦。

但是。。。

这一切美得太不像话，太不真实。
这是不是梦？
是梦的话，几时会醒过来？
这短暂又不实际的幸福几时会结束？
她想贪心一下下可以吗？

R & R (Rest and Relax)

2007-03-04T19:49:00.000+08:00

just like some1 commented... "oh! You finally stepped out of your house for another purpose other than going to school.."

I went out yday! Nothing fascinating.. Just to the a stone-throw away de Tamnpines Mall.. Haha! Initally I did not want to go out, well.. I still have work to complete (cover my head, dun beat me!)... After my si duo bei lei tart's persausive talk, I decided to visit TM and at the same time go to popular bookshop to buy some stuff for school.

It was an enjoyable evening with eye-candy of Hugh Grant, chit chat and short car ride to Bedok... Thanks my beloved ladies for the short unwinding for me! I'm looking forward for our movie outing so that we can drool at Rain and also our fav eating place, 7th Storey Steamboat.. Yum! Yum!

Recently I had an addiction! It started off as an occasional "dessert treat" then a habit then now.. I think is kind of addiction cos I was actually looking forward and waiting for it to happen everyday. Die ah... Dun worry, I'm not taking drugs! But can consider as a "poison" too. Haha...

PS: Pls dun let me get use to it.. I'm afraid that I might not be able to cope once it goes missing...

Practicum~~~

2007-03-03T12:14:00.000+08:00

1 week had passed by... things getting better? In some ways.. but not in others. I'm more tune to the early morning routine but more n more work to do.

This time round, I'm handling P3 and P4. The P3 are cute but their noise level is HORRIBLE! I'm somehow noise sensitive.. These cuties can never stop talking and being at their age, they totally have no self-cotrol. But nonetheless, they are sooo cute..

As for my P4, they have no problem with behaviour but... they are SUPER SMART! 10 out of 40 are under some sort of "gifted" programme.. somemore i'm taking them for English! I more of an expert in SINGLISH.. Haha!

Even though is a tough start.. but i guess i just have to find ways to settle it.

I was being "told off" that i'm being "taken over" by my work. Total workaholic with no life... "Is only the 1st week and you are already like that. If you dun relax a bit, this will be the way you lead your life forever.. so long u are still in this line..."

Am I really being to hard upon myself? But I just cant help it.. I felt so tied down with all these wk and preparation. Maybe I really should relax myself...

PS: I promise I'll try to adjust myself and change ok?

Stars' chat

2007-02-04T01:29:00.000+08:00

One day, lil' star was having a chat with some other stars. One of the stars commented, "he dun wan to be fren with you cos he scared the more he sees you, the deeper he would be in love wiht you" and all the rest of the stars laughed loudly. Everyone thought that that statement was so CORNY! Including lil' star..

24hours later, the stars had a meeting and meet a few other stars too. They started sharing that corny statement and every one laughed again..

48hours later, lil' star went for a Stary Camp.. At the camp, she met shooting star. That night, the statement struck her again and she couldn't laff anymore. That statement had no longer seem corny to her but instead, it nailed right into her.

In the end, lil' star left the camp early...

Conclusion: A statement will only remain a statement until it hits you hard enough.

2007-01-21T23:52:00.000+08:00

Long time didnt post anything already. There are so many things that happened that I dunno how to start. many times i opened the url of blogger.. type a few words then close the windows. Anyway...

School reopened already.. Yes, busy but still moodless towards work. this is a hectic semester.. Got to work damn hard already.. But i'm still slacking..
Haha..

People in school... The gang playing "weaving spider web".. A damn BIG 1... I holding to 1 strand but not really weaving it.. but somehow connected to the web lah. This is a stuper long n boring issue so no point telling you all. Whole lot of nonsense lah..

I'm in some sort of confusion state right now.. Many things to consider and decide. I'm just setting things aset and settling whatever that I can handle n more urgent 1st.. So 1st of all... My Assignments! Yes, yes... I getting to c the point that I'm a workaholic already!

Feedback from some1:
Someone mentioned that I'm tactless with my speech and have attitude problem. Well... is not the 1st time I heard such remarks. I somehow agreed that I need to do some adjustments and changes.. But yet.. Just cos I have different thinking and mindset as them, then i'm like a "freak" to them? I dunno and dun want to think about it at the moment... Too tiring!

Some realisation on Facts of Life:
1. As one gets older, he/she lost the courage to love... One tend to think too much. When is the last time you "奋不顾身"的爱一个人?

2. Women are all STUPID!

3. Human are all 范溅. They like to do stupid things which they already know that the consequences are bad. Worse of all, they do the same thing over and over again.

4. I like being in 好朋友 situation... Easily get comfortable with ppl? I dunno...

5. Women like to link everything as 1.. regardless how individual each issue seem to be but they can still link them together... Applause for them lah... CLAP! CLAP!

6. Human always aimed for the best of both worlds.. but WAKE UP lah! It will never happen.

7. Self-less love = stupidity or 伟大? Can someone tell me?

Ok.. Enough of all these Evelyn's Theory of Life...

The Sweet Email..

2007-01-06T23:09:00.000+08:00

This is being extracted from an email sent to me by one of the gal who went SUR with me... I was so touched by her words. I never know that someone would ever see me in this way. In fact I tot she is unhappy with the group as some incidents happened during the trip...

"A-vee-a-l-y-n
You know i love you, i really do. (loads of smiles) thanks for ya letter babe. I have so much things to say about us, our friendship and all of it but it seems so unfair to do it. I wasnt faking it, I really enjoyed being your friend not because I have to but because I want you as a friend on this trip. you are FUN babe, you are what this trip is about sheer "fun"(You know that laughter I make when I dun get the joke and its suppose to be funny so I laugh the laugh, I am making it now) and you're funny too. You are real, you get it, you're yourself, you're so darn real. There are no masks, or pretence or needs or wants or agendas or objectives, you're just there to be yourself and that seems to be what its all about. You are really just full of yourself and oddly there are no defences or strategies from you. You simply put yourself out there and do what you please and actually did it well!! I could never be that vulnerable and secure about my individuality. Thats why you are whats real to me. And thats good, to have someone that real on the team. it makes decisions harder to make as it wont be as its, no longer black and white. You, the gray one, matters. I am proud to call you a friend and I have mentioned our happy times to my parents and close friends, you're the happiness and comfort Indonesia has offered and a blessing in disguise, you made this trip bearable, you made this trip memorable, you made this trip a reality worth remembering. thanks for being you and what you are and allowing me to be part that. Have a great 2007!"

After that, Himbo Marc came to have his SPEEDY manicur, cont'd from SUR cos I only did half of it and he felt asleep. DUHZ! (Shh.. Dun let him know that he missed out the facial session..)

A photo taking session b4 we went to Nick's place:

你的小指，我的无名指

2006-12-22T00:07:00.000+08:00

I cant rem the source of the story but it is something like this...

"God had arrange everyone to have a partner but he put them at different places at birth. You need to look for your partner during your life. In the process, you met some "wrong" people and you learn how to love.

But who is the rightful 1? How do you identify the person? The rule is: The female's ring finger (无名指) would be the same size as the male's lil' finger (小指)."

For those who know me, Evelyn is not a person who will believe in such stories. She is the kind of person who will delete a chain email, which tell you that you'll die if you delete it. Then the next day, she will laugh out loud and said "See! I'm still alive." To her, this type of story is meant to cheat naive xiao mei meis de.

One day, He slipped my ring into his last finger and asked me " 好看吗？"

Conclusion: F!

The Game is coming to an end...

2006-12-20T03:17:00.000+08:00

Out of mischief, boredom and bo liao-ness, i started playing a game. At 1st, I was playing it with some1, then after that I tot I played my fellow player out, but the conclusion... I thinking I was just playing with myself.

This stupid game has caused my 2 lil' gal pals to worry for me even though they r troubled by other shit already. So after much thought, maybe it should be ended. The fellow player was of the right mode, timing was right but just that the context was wrong.

I muz say that there are things bout the game which I can't bear to let go. And I muz thank my fellow player for the fun and wonderful gaming process. But I c no ending in the game and I can't afford to lose again. Ppl might said that no1 will be the ultimate winner till the end of the game. But I have a strong feeling that I'm going be the loser. Ppl also said that dun put your investment on the wrong share, if you sense that it is falling, withdraw.

Hence, the conclusion is... My game is prematurely ending. But the difficult part is it cant go THE END instantly.. is a step by step, bit by bit process. I give myself the time till 2007!

Conclusion: It's expirying and the expiry date is 31st Dec 2006.

The Holiday~

Project Munitio Part 3

Day 7 (30th Nov 2006)

We had a gallery walk as the closure of the entire camp. Teachers and students made posters and various items to demonstrate what they had learn from the camp. I was amazed by their creativity and spontaneous towards sharing and expressing themselves.

After which, we gave out the certificates of participation and it was time for Good Bye. Even though we only met each other and spent 3days together, I felt the bond and was sad to say good bye. I was somehow “sabo” to give a speech. I totally don’t know what I had said. Till now I can’t recalled at all.. I just remembered that I blabbered a few words then signaled Nicholas to take over. Haha.. But that gave everyone a wrong impression that I was too emotional to continue talking. I can’t remembered who, but some1 came over and put his/her arm over my shoulder. What the… I wasn’t going to cry! I was too shock and dunno what to say and before I made a fool out of myself, I tot it was better off to siam from the mic. Right? A group of ppl that graduated from Assumption English School -_-‘’’

Nevertheless, everyone bided farewell and the team packed our stuff and got ready for to move to the hotel. TMD… The 2hours plus car ride nearly took half of my life… By the time I reached the hotel, I felt that my whole body was falling into parts, like Lego pieces.

Most of us were ecstatic over that hot water and toilet with flush.. Not forgetting the toilet paper. Reesha was "defeated" cos Marc was a step faster to run into all our rooms and flushed the toilet bowls before she could do it. We were all going crazy. Haha… and that night was the 1st time all of us had fast food after so many days. KFC! I bought lots of snacks and gathered everyone to come to my room to R&R cos I wasn’t used of the quietness without everyone else around.

We relaxed and watched Jaws (hotel got HBO Channel… so Kool!) together. Then just when I was happily relaxing and enjoying the aircon, Neh Neh de.. The guys wanted to talk about the plans of going back to SIN. Sianz to the max…

Minus the details, the conclusion was to go home! I wasn’t really into the idea but I followed the decision of the group. That was the worse night I ever had, it was worse than the frogs, cold water and whatever things.

Day 8 (1st Dec 2006)
Supposedly we need to go to the Indonesia schools to conduct some sharing lessons, due to the previous night decision, Shima started calling up the school and telling them that we had sometime urgent and need to return to our country. I felt like shit when the schools don’t blame us for the cancellation, but instead, they kept thanking us, worry about what could have happened that need us to do home, asking if we need help, etc. Piang eh…

On the journey to the airport, not much of words in the car. I was thinking whether this was a good choice and feeling incompetence and some regrets that the trip was not completed. At the airport, we could not get any ticket cos SIN flight had left SUR. Suddenly, Pak Suryo called us! He was shocked that we were leaving as no 1 had informed PW about the whole thing. He wanted us to wait for him at the airport so that he could talk to us.

We waited for quite a while for him to arrive. You see, it was SUR… Distant, traffic jam... Furthermore, the old man was sick for a long period of time, despite his health condition, he was actively involved with env conservation manners for the past 20 years. I was talking to Reesha over the whole issue and whatever had happened over the few days. I made a lil’ decision…

Over the talk with Pak Suryo, misunderstanding was put on the table and as far as I felt, it was resolved. But, Jabb told Pak Suryo that we would take his offer of putting up at his place but we would be leaving on the next day. I could not take it anymore… I finally opened my mouth. Being an outspoken person, I think I had shut my gap long enough! I voiced out that We should not caused further damages to PW. We need to stay to carry out the teacher’s workshop since we had cancelled the indoor classroom sharing lessons. If they do not want to stay, I would stay and I was glad that Reesha supported my decision. She voiced out and backed me up. At this point of time, Pak Suryo weeped. He said he was touched by my decision and kept thanking me. I ended up crying. I don’t know why but there I was crying because of an old man whom I only known him for 6days. Jabb told him that the team needed sometime to discuss this issue cos it was a sudden suggestion brought up by me.

I was targeted for not pre-discuss the suggestion with them but I did not have the chance and time to do so. I was being bombed with lots of comments and blame. Only Reesha stood up for me. Marc made it sounded like it was my fault to cause everyone to stay behind. He even commented me for being emotional in my decision making. By then, I was crying like a stupid fool. I felt so wronged and misunderstood and yet disappointed with them. What with their whatever so-called principle and shit! They did not even spare a thought for the old man and PW. What was the purpose for us to be here in SUR in the 1st place?

Well… no matter what, we would not leave anyone behind. Come as 7, back as 7! So everyone got to stay on because of my golden words! Too bad… I did not feel any sense of victory as the team ended up following my wish. In fact, I felt bad that everyone can’t go back because I knew everyone missed home already. I also felt so touched that they somehow gave in to me just because we are a team! At the same time, I was worried of how am I going to face everyone for the next few days.

I guessed everyone was super tired after the whole Saga! Once we reached Pak Suryo’s place, everyone went to take a nap. I could not settle myself down to sleep or rest. I thought everyone must be cursing me at the moment. Nonetheless, some1 shared some warmth by offering a space in his room... After a short chat, crappy jokes and our fav "scissors, paper, stone" game... ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

Project Munitio Part 2

Day 4, 5 and 6 (27th, 28th and 29th Nov Dec 2006)The outdoor camp activities had started. There were a total of 100 odds Indonesia teachers and students from 11 different primary schools of Surabaya. I would spare the details of the activities cos it was relative boring for you guys to read about it. The main gist is letting the city kids experience the beauty of nature and learn how to protect it. As for the teachers, we were expected to be sharing the different techniques and teaching methods used in our own context.

Well… Lots of events happened within this 3 days. Ultimately killer to all of us! Firstly, the details of the camp were not convey accurately to us and also the Indonesia teachers. This lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication to both sides. On top of it, the differences in culture and communication barrel had resulted into a tension drawn up between us. Nonetheless, I was glad that as the days went by, things get clearer and the bonding between the teachers, students and us grew tremendously. We were like great friends by the end of the 3rd day.

On the 1st night of the camp, just went we were all exhausted and drained out due to the long day and stress, we need to have our meeting and also prepared for the next day’s activities. We were having our meeting and discussion in the canteen area and there were lots of flies, moths, crickets and whatever insects flying around as there was a heavy downpour. I was terrified by all these flying insects. I do not fancy them at all cos they seem to be flying aimlessly. After that day, I have phobia towards them already! I had never felt so stress before and I can’t go anywhere cos it was raining super heavily. Our bunk is at another building.

Just as the rain stopped and decided to take a shower, to our amazement, the bathroom were ULTIMATELY DIRTY due to the kids and there was no more water! As mention earlier, after certain timing, water cannot be pumped up anymore. Luckily we managed to get our shower at bathroom at PW main building, By the time, all of us gotten our shower, it was closed to 3am.

I had enough for the day and we badly wanted to rest. The girls were shocked to see our beds being occupied by the Indonesia teachers and students. There was only 2 beds and no pillow left for the 4 girls. At this very moment, I really feel like going home! What the hell am I doing in such a place and suffering like that? I also wanted to cry already. The guys offered us to sleep in the male bunk as there were empty beds. But Indonesia has a very conservative culture so we call off the ideas. The guys managed to “steal” 2 pillows for us from their bunk. The 4 girls packed ourselves together as if we were sardines in a can.

I barely slept that night. The next morning, I was totally drained out. It was an accumulative effect of a sleepless night and the “maximum 3 hours of sleep” from the previous nights. I could hardly think straight or work at all. In the end, I got "educated" by Nick. The more he point out my mistakes, the more stressful it gets and… I made more mistakes which lead off to more scolding. AHHH!!! I felt so incompetence!

Just as I tot the day had came to an end… More drama took place… For some unknown reasons, Marc had a super bad mood and it affected everyone. I tried to talk to him and joke to make him feel better but he simply ignored everyone of us, After the night debriefing, the guys dragged him out for some “Guys Talk” and I was glad that he was back to normal after that. Till now… I did not know what had happened that day. It remains as a little secret between the guys…

While the guys were away, PPY went to talk to Reesha over certain issues and it broke into an argument, followed by Reesha moving back to the old bunk. (Side track, due to not enough beds, the whole team shifted to another sleeping place. We ended up in the same room again! YEAH!!!) PPY came complaining to me about the issue but I felt that she was in the wrong. She felt down as I did not side her as we were friends since year 1 and I ended up helping Reesha. Oh well… It did not end up quite bad between us but as for PPY and Reesha, the tension and weirdness remain for the rest of the trip. OMG! I thought that it was only day 5 and so many things had happened. How am I going to continue for the next 10days?

Finally it came to the last day of the camp, it was great fun as each group need to put up some performance and we gotten the chance to experience the traditional Javanese Thanks Giving Ceremony. It was a superb day! However…

Just as I tot that things wasn’t that bad after all… there is a rainbow after every rainfall and whatever blah blah… TMD! We received our billing statement and to the shock of our life… We were over charged and our budget was running out. The group made a decision to move out of PW and checked into a hotel for the next day then return to S’pore on the 1st Dec 06.

Project Munitio Part 1

Day 1 (24th Nov 2006):
When we reached Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, we were exorted 350k Rupiah before able to continue our journey. The feeling was like DUHZ! But I realised the 1st interesting fact about the whole team. All of us have double eye lids. So kool ya? Bo liao? Ya lah.. cos I was super bored while waiting for the whole wayang to take place and pay off the $ b4 we were able to go off.

After a stop over at a shopping mall to buy some stuff and replenish our energy, we continued our ultimate long journey to Trawas. It was a great challenge for a person with motion sickness. Thank god I made it to Trawas and reached Pring Woelong in a piece. Haha... The weather was superb up in Trawas. Cool and refreshing...

After a short rest, the counterparts of Pring Woelong drove us out to have supper. It was really thumb up to their drving skills. The road is in complete darkness and superly uneven... But the guys were really kool with it. (Clap!)

We reached the Warong (street side stalls) and the guys had the famous Mee Bakso (Beef balls noodles) and some satays. I wasn't enjoyig much ah cos the food was not of my liking. I only had a few sticks of satay which tasted weird cos it tasted sweet instead of the familiar taste of the ones in S'pore.

We went back to PW camp site and decided to take a shower before KO in our beds. And... OMG! OMG! The water is ice-cold! And it was from the stream so you will see some sediments at the bottom of the well-like structure in the bathroom. As for the toilets... I nearly fainted! Squatting units without flush and toilet paper... Nonetheless, I quickly took my shower and went back to the bunk to rest.

Our bunk looked like Shao Ling Temple! Haha.. There was this concrete platform and mattress all lined side by side, in a single row. It looked weird but somehow I felt safe cos the whole team will be sleeping together. I never like sleeping alone... So there was a little "YEAH!" feeling in me.

I laid down, trying to feel somfortable but I can't. Marc entertained me with a casual chat b4 he KO. I cont'd to feel insecure and disturb by the sound of nature around me... Crickets, lizards, geckos, bats, some unidentified creatures... Ahh!!! I can't sleep...

Ohh... side track a bit on the satay... I found out that what we ate was actually RABBIT MEAT!!!! Pukez!!!! I felt so sick about it!

Day 2 and 3 (25th and 26th Nov 2006):
These 2 days were full of tracking and site visiting. We need to get familiar with the surroundings and sites before the commencement of the camp activities. We visited the rainforest (Jurang Gemboloh), paddy fields and PW site. We were all mesmerized by the beauty of nature. Wait till I get the pictures from my team mates, then you all can go WAH! together with me.

Side track to some funny notes.. On the second night, there were FROGS in the bathroom. WAH LAO EH! Frogs eh... I was too shock to take my shower. Every1 waited for a single unit which was frog-less at the moment. But the water pressure dropped lower and lower as the night creeped in.. In the end, the water flow was like -_-''' haiz.. It took like forever in order for all of us to get our shower. Shortly after Reesha took her shower and light a stick for a puff... she suddenly hold on to her track pants and screamed "There is a frog inside!" Everyone of us was shocked and the guys kept laughing at the girls when we tried all means to get that frog out of Sha's pants. Haha... What an experience for Reesha and also that poor little frog... Haha...

I'm back!

2006-12-10T14:24:00.000+08:00

I'm finally back to my home sweet home after 15days! I really miss everything back here. I had never miss my country and home this much before... I will somehow state some highlights of the trip. As for the photos, still waiting for my team members to wake up from their hibernation... haha...

1st of all, I must thank mummy to approve on my trip so that I was able to gain these wonderful memories and experience. I must thank my team members for the support and encouragement throughout the trip. Thank to the Indonesia counterparts for the guidance and hospitality.

Lastly, thank to a special someone... Thank you for your care and concern. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for your support. Thank you for carrying my bags. Thank you for taking care of my wellness and safety. Thank you for putting up with my attitude. Thank you for agreeing and disagreeing with me. Thank you for the joy and laugthers. Thank you for making me cry. Thank you for being around. I dunno know how to express my gratitude to you. So other than thank you, it is still thank you... Thank you Marc!

I would be posting bits and pieces of the trip as days go by. So just hang on...

For the time being... Here is my team mates:

Flying Away

2006-11-21T10:24:00.000+08:00

Recently I was super busy with school activities. I'm gg for a school trip to Surabaya... A 15 days trip. This is the 1st time that I'm gg for such a long trip on my own. It took some courage for me to decide on embarking on it. Wish me good luck!

Even though I had some problems working with the gang on earlier date, but I'm glad that we had communicated and things had gotten better. Now not only I have a great gang of working partners, but also the old gang of kool pals in sch (they r my only frens in sch), and on top of that a bouns of knowing a new fren.

I'll be away from the 24th Nov 2006 to 8th Dec 2006. No need send me off lah. Haha... You ppl take care. Dun miss me too much, just let me be the 1 missing u all. Haha.. Tataz!

Conclusion: I'm flying on a Jet Plane.

Should I waiting for my lil' star

2006-11-08T21:42:00.000+08:00

School Holiday has started... finally everything is over! Phew!! But then again, not really that everything is over but at least the academic part...

Recently, moon lost her star... This lil' star appeared in front of moon when the sun stopped being the main light source for moon. When moon tot that her life was gg to be total darkness, a lil' star appeared and gave her the teeny weeny light... Over the years, moon had grew accustomed having the teeny weeny light from the lil' star. But just when moon tot that she was so lucky to have lil' star around her... Wooosh! The star went missing suddenly...

Everyday moon waited for the star to be back but... No news, no words, no reason and lil' star was gone... Days passed and moon had began to be used of living in her dark space. 1 day an elf appeared... he told moon not to shut herself n be used to the dark. light will come by if moon believe it will... elf gave moon a candle... moon was happy to have light in her life again but no matter what, a candle will burn out soon... She likes having light but yet afraid to lost it again. what if she likes the candle that the elf gave her and lil' star came back? Would it be better if she just get used to living in the dark and save all the problems?

What do you think?

Super Attitude

2006-10-26T00:06:00.000+08:00

Today I'm super attitude... I think my attitude problem is back again! I simply dun feel like talking to any1. I rather read my story book than to talk. At moments when I opened my mouth, the remarks are never pleasant to ears...

B: J, PP beat me...
(J was asking me bout Sci assignment at that moment...)
B: (Louder) J, I talk to you and you dun ans me.... PP BEAT ME!
Me: Stop it can? Even my P4 kids dun play such things anymore...
Total silent....

TMD them lah... How old already still do such things? Bunch of fools! If they have the time then go n do their wk properly and dun give me shitty stuff for pair work lah...

Can you imagine that my partner produce such a piece of work? Considering that this is a class activity sheet for P6 pupils...

I really nearly puke blood when I received it yday night. FYI, I need to hand it in on Thurs loh... Use your F brain also know that you need to include blanks for pupils to write name, class and date mah... I really PEI FU her ah... Just the tot of it is enough to make me feel TL already...

Too much things pissing me off already... Sch assignments, inconsiderate freaks in sch, horrible project mates, even CCA is gg wrong... I wonder is it me that having attitude problem or I have tahan enough till everything blow off at this very moment. No more being "super nice" girl already... Not worthy to show my kindness to you all.

If you ask me... honestly I dun care the ppl besides me r affected by my attitude problem. I'll just show my unhappiness from now on!

Conclusion: The attitude Evelyn is Back!

盖世英雄

2006-10-25T02:30:00.001+08:00

I was kind of occupied by my Sci assignment and another Eng assignment and test waiting for me. And yet 1 uncooperative soul aka project mate makes me sick... Nevertheless... My 2 idols heightened up my mood a little..

1) My childhood Grasshopper
Thanks to ah eng for lending me the concert dvd. The songs simply bring back so many lovely memories. I can simply sing along with them with any songs in the concert. But listening to the same songs at a different age do give me a different feel. Maybe I had grown to be more knowledgable (an indirect way of talking bout age) so I am able to appreciate the meanings and feel of the songs. Talking bout feel... they really sing with lots of FEEeeeelllllll~~~~~~~ when singing the slow songs... and the next moment they can be jumping and dancing with all the signature moves. They really are full of energy and stamina. In the end..... I own my possession onto their DVD too... haha...

2) My mid-late teenage idol - Wang Lee Hom
I was 2st toxicated with Lee Hom's song during my sec 3 and 4 yrs.... All thanks to my "twin bro" Hong Jie... I still rem how he tried to act ABC and sing R&B with "我繞著你打轉　一圈一圈公轉在人與人的銀河　愛讓我不間斷" and "淋我淋過的雨　吹你吹過的風比風雨還親蜜"... Ohh not 4getting the "JULIA JULIA　不要拖泥又帶水" haha... His infamous inpersonation of the HomBoy... haha... after those days, i started to take notice of this HomBoy and he was really talented and kool!

So... as usual, ahui and I took our steps into S'pore Indoor Stadium to rock our Sat night with the HomBoy！The starting was ok... but the closing was superb... Every1 gotten so high. He sang my fav 一首簡單的歌, 心中的日月 and 流泪手心... and also those that I dislike the most 龍的傳人 and 在那遥远的地方. Haha...

This leads to the battle of Jay and Homboy:
1) Appears: Friendly and prefect complexion H.B definitely win my vote over act kool and rarely smile but recently so talkative Jay. Lee Hom: 1 Jay: 0

2) Musical Talent: Both are so talented with instruments and composing so both get my votes. Lee Hom: 2 Jay: 1

3) Dance: Even both seldom dance, Jay just started to move his limbs more... Well... Lee Hom: 3 Jay: 1

4) Anticipation: OMG! Jay sure get my vote for this... When are you coming to S'pore? ARghhh! Lee Hom: 3 Jay:1

5) Fans' stamina and 'Live' Mood: I have to head down to Jay's fans (*ahem* that includes myself)... We have endless energy to sing, scream and wave our light sticks like no tmr... So far Jay's concert is the best that I ever been too. Lee Hom:3 Jay:3

6) Bias: I am bias to Jay so... Jay win! (Not happy? This is my blog so what I said is final) Hahaha....

Conclusion: If we are lucky, we will get to see Jay in end of 2007. If not..... beginning of 2008? Mid of 2008? End of 2008? Who knows? God knows? Only he knows... AHHHH!!!!!!!! But so long he dun make me wait n wait then charge me SGD$888 like that some1 from Korea...

Braces!

2006-10-21T00:20:00.000+08:00

20th Oct 2006, 1420hours. I walked out of ToothArt and Viola! I had my braces on already.. after bout 1hr n 30mins "mission".

Suddenly the mouth began so occupied with all the metal brackets, springs and wires. I can tell you.. the feeling is worse than removing 8teeth.

The metal stuff are irritating my inner lips, I felt so handicap when come to eating cos i cant chew properly... i think i'll suffer fr indigestion cos i simply just swallow my food so long it is small enough n not choke me. I cant smile as naturally as b4, I sounded a bit weird when talking. when my mouth is closed, i ma chiam hiding food in my mouth... AHH! Bu mei le!!!!!

I know ppl sure said I asked for it... But i hope is a matter of time tat i get used to it and feel better... Pray for me!

Conclusion: I didnt want to post my photo w my new look yet, cos i still look weird to myself.. let me convice myself 1st...

I will not smile when i dun want to

2006-10-19T00:11:00.000+08:00

Just ended my "Auntie Agony" session w ahui and this also reminded her of this "Auntie" who caused her agony in the past. haha...

I was trying ahui how tried I was feeling cos I always try to put up a front n smile even though I am feeling shit inside. Due to past experiences, I had knowingly and unknowingly build up this character. 坚强 (being strong) or 逞强 (acting strong) is just a thin line apart. I think I had lost my ability to differentiate it anymore.

Just like ahui said: "either u r a tian cai tt u can keep urself together" or "u r just a bai chi who hang on to urself". It is ok to be bai chi at times.

Over these yrs, have I took up some extra baggages that are pulling me down? I realised that once upon a time in my life, my motto is "do whatever I want as long as I m happy". Mayb over time, ppl had make me felt that this motto is selfish, irresponsible or I m not sparing a tot for others or whatever u can think of. Then slowly slowly I 4got about it. Today I looked back, when i somehow became or try to be responsible for others, be so-called professional, spare a thought for others. But... I m no longer as happy as I was. I always think so much in so many perspectives that at times, these perspectives do not include MYSELF!

So I decided that from now on, F the whatever saying of "Smile regardless of what happened, cos ur smile might be the reason for others to smile". I'm not so Wei Da, please. I'm only a human being, I'm not god. I'm going to spare a thought for myself, I'm going to being kind to myself n loving myself in the 1st place of everything already! This will start off from when I dun feel like smiling, I will just not smile.

Quote of the day: when u dun feel like smiling, just dn smile (from ahui)

Conclusion: ahui, u always speak right into what is on my mind. So... when do u want to marry me? haha...

My complaint letter

2006-10-15T14:50:00.000+08:00

I dare to say that I am considered a nice customer but no when u cross my LIMIT!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I write this letter with regards to an exceptionally disappointing experience of receiving extremely poor customer service and food hygiene provided by the store-in-charge of Gloria Jeans Coffees (Vivo City).

My family and I visited at your Vivo City Outlet on the 13th October 2006 at about 1520 and ordered 2 slices of cakes. After I took a few mouthfuls, I saw an insect crawling on the tiramisu. Initially, I thought that it had landed on the cake from the surrounding, but after a few moments, I saw more of the same insects on the cake. It was in fact, crawling in and out of the cake. I was really terrified by the scene and started wondering if I had accidentally consume some of these insects.

I approached one of your staff (who self-proclaimed that she is the store-in-charge) and requested her to come over to have a look. However, she replied “You bring the cake over. I will exchange for you,” and continued washing her cups. I was shocked by her attitude.. I felt that that was a very irresponsible reply. Being an ex-student in Food Science and Catering Technology, I can proudly said that I definitely aware of the seriousness of this issue. This is not just about getting my item exchange. She should show more concern about this as it is concerning the company’s reputation and hygiene especially when you are in the F&B industry

I took several pictures and went over to the same personnel and told her that I will lodge a formal complaint regarding the matter. To my amaze, all she did was to say “You bring the cake over. I will exchange for you.” and continued washing her cups AGAIN! I was dumb folded!

In the F&B industry, what matters more than food hygiene? Furthermore, with the emphasis of 'Excellent Customer Service’ and the promotion of GEMS Campaign, is this the outcome that Singapore is aiming to strive for? If this is the kind of 'motto' that the staffs of Gloria Jeans Coffees stand by, I am beginning to wonder how will they affect the image of Singapore in this newly opened Vivo City, which is the centre of attraction of everyone now.

I had lodged a complaint to the Ministry of Health and I hope that with this letter, I could alert other fellow Singaporeans to be more caution with the food that they consumed outside and also to remind all personnel in the F&B industry to be more responsible with their food handling method.

- A customer who is still wondering if she had some insects in her stomach -

Pictures speak a thousand words:

深蓝色的情书

2006-10-08T23:30:00.000+08:00

深蓝色的情书 (So-called by Jie Lun)

风又吹过我的双脚怀念夏天的味道
你的微笑我舍不得一口吃掉
秋天树叶不停掉我的难过有谁知道
什么少了你我的那的多无聊
风吹起我衣角把寂寞装进我背包
怀念你的香水味道想念让我更加烦恼

我想你知道夏天的味道刻在我心里永远抹不掉
求进你给我最后的讯号我会安静的走掉不打扰
昨天的拥抱今天很需要你给我的好戒也戒不掉
哭泣枕头套夜晚的煎熬你的城堡我住在地牢

风窜进了我的衣角把寂寞装进我背包
怀念你的香水味道想念让我更加烦恼更加烦恼

我想你知道夏天的味道刻在我心里永远抹不掉
就请你给我最后的讯号我会安静的走掉不打扰
昨天的拥抱今天很需要你给我的好戒也戒不掉
哭湿枕头套夜晚的煎熬你的城堡我住在地牢

不需要不需要 Ah~ Woo~

但这风吹盖了你的头发不看见了你的眼睛
第一次拥抱就是那么得体经不起模本经过的大潮体
Oh Baby~ 问那件红色外衣还省下你哭了痕迹

我这耐纳着独异夏天的记忆已经不能抹去
连味道连接空气我的屋子已经被你占去
现在这里到底这个世界海涛环在哪里
我的夏天的味道代我找你

Conclusion: This song heighten my mood when i also gg to burst n scream at some1..

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone, his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday."

Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.

"Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It has been so long time since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said.

"Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him.

"I loved that old house he lived in," Jack said.

"You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said.

"He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said. "I wouldn't be in this business if it weren't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said.

As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.

The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture....Jack stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked.

"The box is gone," he said.

"What box?" Mom asked.

"There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was the thing I value most," Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.

"Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said. "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom."

It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home. Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read.

Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. &"Mr. Harold Belser" it read

Jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I valued most in my life."

A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, as tears filling his eyes, Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! - Harold Belser." "The thing he valued most...was...my time."

Jack held the watch for a few minutes then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant asked.
"I need some time to spend with my son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet...thanks for your time!"

Life is not measured by the number of breaths take but by the moments that take our breath away.

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you much that they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you they go to sleep.
5. You mean the world to someone.
6. If not for you, someone may not be living.
7. You are special and unique.
8. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its on you, take a look; you most likely turned your back on the world.
11. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.
12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
13. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy.
14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

I am a brave girl!

2006-09-13T00:53:00.000+08:00

ahui said "You are my homie gal! *punch against my heart position*" and "you are sibei brave". So encouraging to hear such statement from my "beloved wife" haha...

my bro said I'm kool and he was proud to be my bro! Yeah mann...

I had recently did something which I considered the bravest thing that I had done so far in my 24years of life. Wait till 4th Oct, then it would be overtaken by extracting 8 teeth at 1 go... haha... Ok back to topic. I can't tell u all what I had did, only a few souls on this earth know about it. hehe... It's a Mi Mi!

Nonetheless, I felt so Kool after I did this mi mi thing (OH NO! Karen jie jie gg to think "dirty" already.... so karen jie jie, i didnt did what u gg to tot of NO!)

What most impt of what i had learnt over this issue is "never let your life be wasted, do what u want so u'll not regret in future" and i also realise how impt it is to have some1 to be on the same track as u, giving u support and encouragement and jeer and laff with me after the event. haha... Thanks ahui! Hmm... still considering whether to marry me next year? (Oh Pls... we r not lesbo. it is just an old joke created by allen yeo) haha...

Fav quote from ahui during this saga: feel like smacking his head with a ladle

依然范特西

2006-09-10T22:18:00.000+08:00

My long await Jay's Album - 依然范特西

In general, it's once again fill with great songs but not much of new stunts... I felt that this time u need to analyse and understand the lyrics b4 u really like a particular song. Music composing wise is kind of usual.

Currently my fav songs of the album are:

Track 5.退後,
天空灰的像哭過
離開你以後並沒有更自由
酸酸的空氣嗅出我們的距離
一幕錐心的結局像呼吸般無法停息

抽屜泛黃的日記榨乾了回憶
那笑容是夏季 妳我的過去被順時針的忘記
缺氧過後的愛情粗心的眼淚是多餘

我知道妳我都沒有錯只是忘了怎麼退後
信誓旦旦給了承諾卻被時間撲了空

我知道我們都沒有錯只是放手會比較好過
最美的愛情回憶裡待續

Track 7.心雨
橡樹的綠葉啊白色的竹籬笆
好想告訴我的她這裡像幅畫

去年的聖誕卡鏡子裡的鬍渣
畫面開始沒有她我還在裝傻

說好為我泡花茶學習擺刀叉
學生宿舍空蕩蕩的家守著電話卻等不到她

心裡的雨傾盆而下也沾不濕她的髮
淚暈開明信片上的牽掛 那傷心原來沒有時差

心裡的雨傾盆的下卻始終淋不到她
寒風經過院子裡的枝椏也冷卻了我手中的鮮花

and Track 8.白色風車.
白色的風車安靜的轉著
真實的感覺夢境般遙遠
甜甜的海水複雜的眼淚
看妳傻笑著握住我的手
夢希望沒有盡頭 我們走到這就好因為我不想太快走完這幸福
很可惜沒有祝福當愛妳並不孤獨不會再讓妳哭

我揹妳走到最後能不能不要回頭
妳緊緊的抱住我說妳不需要承諾
妳說我若一個人會比較自由
我不懂妳說什麼反正不會鬆手

我揹妳走到最後能不能別想太多
會不會手牽著手晚一點才到盡頭
妳說不該再相見只為了瞬間
謝謝妳讓我聽見因為我在等待永遠

As usual, I tend to like LISTENING to his slow songs than the rapping style. We are talking bout purely HEARING, not sight. 2 of the 3 songs are written by him. Is it my personal mood or is it just that his this particular album has this moody n a slightly down kind of mood? Or it due to his current mood? I dunno know...

My conclusion: It worth the wait!

Wkend updates

2006-09-10T21:58:00.000+08:00

Fri:
After spending the time to complete my 2 assignments in the day. I decided to take a break at night. I went to meet ahui, go sing post to collect some of my books (yahoo auction winnings), bought our LONG LONG awaited Jay's album, then we joined the "kids" (mei mei n chang) to go prawning. For more details about prawning session: see esther's n chang's blog. haha...

I don't much like the activity bout prawning cos is kind of a headache of what to do with the prawns in the end. But i do like the quiet-ness and relaxing environment.

Sat:
Super tiring... ahui n i went out for a few hours, but we had the feeling like out for whole day. Dunno y. The 2 of us have not been eating well n resting well. )(Telepathy ah?)

1st we went to T.B to find Ang Chew Har... i had not seen her for donkey (hmm.. not big enough) Elephant Years! Then ahui n I happened to c ah ray (ahui, NOT ah RAIN ok? I wish too ah.. but sadly not). i dun feel too good when finding out that he wasn't doing too good with life. Long time didnt c him n a bit sad to heard that. But ray, tat doesn't give u a good reason to keep on asking me if me n * (censore to protect the other party's reputation) r lesbian ok? #@&$#@$...

After that went to Sal's wedding. Congrats once again... then w karen jie jie, the 3 of us went to slack at billy bombers

Sun:

-end-

Conclusion: Tomorrow is Monday again..... TMD! ^*%#$^%&

坚强 V.S. 死撑

2006-09-06T23:17:00.000+08:00

This idea knocked upon my tiny n soon failing to function brain today...

In school, ppl tend "labelled" me as strong, dependentable, independent... to a extent that I think they felt that i can tahan a falling sky.

Am I that STRONG? hmm... Most of the times I don't want to malu myself and I dun like to open my mouth to ask for help. So I had to work extra hard to accomplish whatever stuff that is required. And Thank Buddha! Normally I managed to pull through. So much so that I think many ppl tot that I'm 不败! I'm kind of used to such a "label" and taking up all the shit jobs, lending my shoulders to carry their emotions burden...

However, I'm feeling more n more tired and lack of energy already. I'm like 死撑 now! I dunno I can tahan till when...

Stupid sch work is drowning me!
I lost my enthu n mood of going to school!
Ppl ard me (in sch) are having this depressing mood that is somehow affecting me!
Got 1 碍眼的蟑螂 that kept appearing at every corner that I am in!
Hypocrite classmates who are annoying me!

Conclusion: I want to graduate ASAP! Jun 2007, where are you?

1st Appearance in Magazine

2006-09-04T21:59:00.000+08:00

The Good Lord was creating teachers. It was His sixth day of 'overtime' and He knew that this was a tremendous responsibility for teachers would touch the lives of so many impressionable young children. An angel appeared to Him and said, "You are taking a long time to figure this one out."
"Yes," said the Lord, " but have you read the specs on this order?"
TEACHER:
…must stand above all students, yet be on their level
... must be able to do 180 things not connected with the subject being taught
... must run on coffee, coke and leftovers,
... must communicate vital knowledge to all students daily and be right most of the ime
... must have more time for others than for herself/himself
... must have a smile that can endure through pay cuts, problematic children, and worried parents
... must go on teaching when parents question every move and others are not supportive
... must have 6 pair of hands.
"Six pair of hands, " said the angel, "that's impossible"
"Well, " said the Lord, " it is not the hands that are the problem. It is the three pairs of eyes that are presenting the most difficulty!"
The angel looked incredulous, " Three pairs of eyes...on a standard model?"
The Lord nodded His head, " One pair can see a student for what he is and not what others have labeled him as. Another pair of eyes is in the back of the teacher's head to see what should not be seen, but what must be known. The eyes in the front are only to look at the child as he/she 'acts out' in order to reflect, " I understand and I still believe in you",
without so much as saying a word to the child."
"Lord, " said the angel, " this is a very large project and I think
you should work on it tomorrow".
"I can't," said the Lord, " for I have come very close to creating something much like Myself. I have one that comes to work when he/she is sick.....teaches a class of children that do not want to learn....has a special place in his/her heart for children who are not his/her own.....understands the struggles of those who have difficulty....never takes the students for granted..."
The angel looked closely at the model the Lord was creating.
"It is too soft-hearted, " said the angel.
"Yes," said the Lord, " but also tough, You can not imagine what this teacher can endure or do, if necessary".
"Can this teacher think?" asked the angel.
"Not only think," said the Lord,. "but reason and compromise."
The angel came closer to have a better look at the model and ran his finger
over the teacher's cheek.
"Well, Lord, " said the angel, your job looks fine but there is a leak. I told you that you were putting too much into this model.
You can not imagine the stress that will be placed upon the teacher."
The Lord moved in closer and lifted the drop of moisture from the teacher's cheek.
It shone and glistened in the light.
"It is not a leak," He said, "It is a tear."
"A tear? What is that?" asked the angel, "What is a tear for?"
The Lord replied with great thought, " It is for the joy and pride of seeing a child accomplish even the smallest task. It is for the loneliness of children who have a hard time to fit in and it is for compassion for the feelings of their parents. It comes from the pain of not being able to reach some children and the disappointment those children feel in themselves. It comes often when a teacher has been with a class for a year and must say good-bye to those students
and get ready to welcome a new class."
"My, " said the angel, " The tear thing is a great idea...You are a genius!!"
The Lord looked somber, "I didn't put it there."

A good song can make a different

2006-08-22T23:00:00.000+08:00

When 1 is down and you do not know how to approach the person or how to show that you care... a song dedication will be the best alternative.

BeeHong, this song is for you... It encourages me when I'm down so hope it'll help u too. You'll never walk alone (ehh... isn't that the Liverpool statement?)

I'll Stand By You - By Girls Aloud

Oh, Why You Look So Sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

Thread of Thoughts

2006-08-15T18:52:00.000+08:00

Out of a recent incident, I also had somehow saw a path to something that I wasnt certain of for a long long time. Now that my path is defined, but another problem comes in. Whether should I choose to walk down the path or not? If I'm gg to take up the route, then there will be more problems and troubles to haunt me. I somehow can hear some1 screaming at me and scolding me of having a -ve mindset. I tend to think of the dark side... and I really mean V V V dark side (The worst of the worst) when I'm considering something. Well... a very common line that all my pals always give me "Dun think too much". Am I really so??? Or mayb I'm just not a risk taker??? Lack of confident??? I really dunno...

Something happened recently that makes me get v edgy. But after hui told me "look from his perspective, perhaps it'll be better." Suddenly I realised that I tend to have this 咬死不放 type of attitude. When something when wrong and I can't get it the way I expected or what it to be, I'll tend to become 咬死不放. Hmmm.... Maybe that explains why I'm born in the year of a Dog. Haha... Making sense? Mayb not....

Well.... after so many years, I realised that there is this person that really understands me and the person could be my bet ideal partner. Too bad we are never possible cos the person is a SHE. (OMG! I sounded so lesbo now!) What I'm trying to say that she really knows me and she always there to pull me back onto my path with me, thi indecisive libra lost my way in my imaginative world. What to do right? She knows me for donkey monkey years. Thank you, ahui! Glad that I always have you ard me! You are one of the best gift that I had received fr god (if there is really a god). Back to the old theory that we might be husband and wife in our pervious life. Haha...

Conclusion: Treasure and Cherish what you have ard you... Dun regret when it is too late...

A special jamming piece fr my beloved Jay, You never fail to cheer me up when I'm down.

The Road Is Never Long Between Friends

2006-08-08T19:03:00.000+08:00

Some1 sent this to me...

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop.
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door, just waiting for you to open it.

Hmm.. I'm glad that I do have such friends ard. A special thanks to you all for always being there for me. Esp to ahui, aheng, ahren... Muackz... =)

2006-08-04T14:02:00.000+08:00

For the 1st time, got ppl say Evelyn very STUPID! of 24yrs of my life, this is the 1st time that I could rem. Cos I'm normally known as the witty Evelyn who is full of tricks. I very stupid meh?

Quote of the day: 在我眼里，你是很笨的

Busy Busy Polyclinic Day

2006-08-02T20:31:00.000+08:00

b4 i start on the busy day... Folks, I have something to announce..... I.... erm.... had...... cut my fringe! Change of hairstyle, change of mood.. (quote fr xiao wang: Swee!)

Today I had a busy day! Morning early early 6am+ accompany da jie to airport. She gg for her 1st business trip on her own. Kool! (but if she's gg to have more of such things in future then... we have to c c how 1st ok? haha)

For close to 24 years of my life, i had never ever spent such long hours in polyclinc b4 loh... here's what happened...

On our way back fr airport, xiao mei n i decided to take the q num for polyclinic. "Beep" and WAH! (our eyes popping) a 100+ to go b4 us... smart girls decided to go home relax for 45mins b4 gg down to polyclinic again.

(45mins later)
Happily walking into the polyclinic, WAH!(our eyes popping again) We had missed our q no by 30+. Darn! So bo bian ah "Beep" take a new tics n wait gong gong for another 80+ ppl b4 our turn. Heng! We discovered a Mr Brown portcast in my mp3 player. Something bout Mr Visa and the Birds... Laff our way n got entertained.

Gotten our room no (after got piss off by that woman that grad fr "assumption english sch")... so qiao to c the same doc for my previous blood test. Conclusion after spending close to 2.5 hrs of waiting, we both r healthy little bunnies! (heng ah!)

You think this is over? NOPE! (at 3 pm, level 3 of the polyclinic)
I was seen sitting outside the dental surgical room, waiting guai guai-ly for my appt. Evelyn being guai? Yes! When she gg to c dentist! (scream: I HATE DENTIST!) After all the digging, Wizzling of the machines... Yeah! Blood-filled mouth! -_-" (again: I HATE DENTIST!) Finally after 1+ hour i can head home n end my "1 day trip at tampines polyclinic"

I had made up my mind to go get my braces fix. Kind of scare cos "I HATE DENTIST" but again... to prevent to teeth to decay due to all the uneven n hidden spots that cant be cleaned up. Better get it done b4 any decay starts to take place.

Conclusion: Evelyn gg to be a 四眼钢牙妹!

A day out w the girls...

2006-07-30T13:46:00.000+08:00

After getting my beauty sleep, I went out with my usual gang - hui, eng, ren. We went to tong shui cafe for the thick toast and desserts. The mango pomelo dessert is so nice and refreshing. Thank you gals for all the chit chat, makan and laughters. It somehow made me feel that regardless how some idiots tryig to put me down, I still have you gals to hold me up. Thanks alot!

After we parted, karen and I had an sudden decision to go n find xiao wang at pwp. Is more of my idea lah cos I dun want to go back so early. Usual ah, meet xiao wang and the level 3 gang then we headed off for some supper and more chit chat and laughters.

Glad that the guys n Karen were so 'on' to entertain me regardless that they are all tired after work. Thanks! Pardon my selfish act ah. But I really need the familiar "noise" around me to hold me up and going. Esp that particular some1... I felt so bad to turn to you whenever I faced problems. I know is unfair to you. Sorry for being so selfish. I'll try my best to share happiness with you more than sorrows. Promise!

After a long day, I felt so tired. Whole day of acting in front of others and tryig hard to cheer myself up... Next I need to rearrange myself and go back to my usual self. How long and how much energy will I need this time round? I dunno... I'm already superly tired.

I think everyone of you r sick of hearing things related to the idiot and me. Well... I sick of it too. But I'll try my best cos I promise ah eng to let her c my signature laughing icon again. And also for the sake of all those that love me, I will be happy again. I will not let that idiot ruin my life.

Conclusion: Hey Idiot, will you get your own life and leave me alone?

End of TA

2006-07-28T23:27:00.000+08:00

Before I could post more about my prac, it had came to an end. Good bye to my lovable P4C, lesson planning days, markings...

Today is the last day w my P4 class. If i ever c them again, they will be in P5 and stream into different classes. My sweet little boys and girls gave me a huge surprise today.

Some of them stall my way and refuse to let me into the class. When I entered, they pull off some poppers, play music and did a slide show for me. I was so touched! After that... they gave me lots of stuff. OMG!

flowers and chocolates fr the whole class... i was teasing the boys that i'm the 1st girl that they gave flowers too. haha... oh not forgetting the 'watermelon' class autograph haha

the girls baked these plus another 2 muffins which in my tummy already.

2 girls gave me and another girl hand-made this . This is the cutest -->

the boys? -->, and .

All these while they had been planning all these and everytime discussed during my lesson and risk being caught n get scolded by me. Aiyo... They are so sweet and I'll miss them.

Conclusion: neh neh de... muz go back NIE already... sianz

Tmr having formal observations!

2006-07-18T21:22:00.000+08:00

Tmr having formal observations... Pray hard that nothing goes wrong! (PRAY!!!)

1st Formal Lesson..... Conclusion FLOP!

2006-07-17T22:54:00.000+08:00

I had formally took over the lessons today. Very 1 lesson only...... BUANG already!

I conduct group work for the class. The activity is each student bring a story book then within the group, they are to choose 1 and present on what is the book about and why the group choose it.

Miss Peck try to be diplomatic and let them choose their own group members... WRONG MOVE ah.... Fight broke off cos 2 groups wanted the same girl in their groups and got 1 poor boy, nobody wants him in their group. *faint*

Just as settled this and... Round 2 FIGHT! Another group started another fight cos all the group members choose girl A's book and not girl B's so girl B get angry and refused to do their work. When i went over and try to settle it... 7 ppl all talk at the same time.... (mei mei, your constant practice of "TEACHER! TEACHER! TEACHER"... now is really in full act le) I nearly faint and just said... "I want you all to do your work quietly and finish it byt the end of the lesson" I know very bad management... but i really dunno what to do...

WORST OF ALL........
I scolded this boy (N) for not paying attention then after lesson, i realised is not his fault. (Every class got 1 KPO king/queen rem?) In fact he was trying to be kind to me. The story is another boy (J) is not paying attention and N was asking him to stop playing... in the end i only caught N talking instead of J playing... I felt so bad.... tmr Miss Peck is gg to apologise to N...

Conclusion: I had flop my lesson and I better buck up! If not.... Hui, you prefer apples or oranges when i visit you?

Ms Peck kana bully ah!~!~!~!~

2006-07-14T19:21:00.000+08:00

An incident happened yday that made me nearly use vuglarity in school... Luckily Miss Peck endurance level is higher now. Here goes the story...

I was asked to do relief for a P6 class. This is such a "small" school and I can't find the class. Aga Aga that it should be ard that area, I estimated and popped my head into this class and asked

Me: It this 6*?
Boys in the class: NO!!!!
Me: ok sorry... (and I walked away)

(Voice from behind) A malay girl shouted: "Teacher! Teacher!" so I turned ard. "They bluffed you 1. This class is 6*." In my heart, #@&$@*#$^!)&@$(^%^$%)@#$!#!

I stepped into the class and they are supposed to do spelling. So I started giving them spelling. As i read the phrases....

The *&#^@^ Boy: Teacher, Repeat again? (I said like 5X per phrase that makes me wonder my tongue got problem or his ears got problem) the word got -ed anot? ending with s? what is the 1st letter? hint leh...
Me: You want me to write for you instead?
The *&#^@^ Boy: (handing his book to me) Can Can...
Me: (&#%*$%&@#%! Take a deep breathe and....) You hold on 1st, after school i'll go through every single spelling word with you then I'll write for you. (there is a total of 50 phrases in the list)
The *&#^@^ Boy: Sorry teacher... joking lah...

OMG! Y kids nowadays so knn 1? Is this a retribution for all the nasty things that i had done to my teachers when i'm a student?

Next week onwards I'm gg to start my formal teaching already. A bit nervous cos dunno if i can handle the class. My P4 kids are so "friend" with me now that I started to worry bout whether I can control them... wish me good luck ba...

Off to prepare my lessons

I turned ard.. the want-to-cry-face malay boy, no more want-to-cry-face... he got his things back... (evil grin)

i finished what I need to complete and "everyone of you pack yur things n remain total silent. every noise i hear, you all will stay for extra 5min."

(no noise.... and i caught this boy whispering at the back of the class... actually i cant heard him, only c his mouth move)

then i walk the class to level 1 and let them off

(mind you... everything takes place in 40mins...)

3 more weeks to go

2006-07-07T11:33:00.000+08:00

Time really fly pass so quickly... I had completed 2 weeks of my TA and now got another 3 weeks to go. Somehow I hope that I can stay longer in the school as my students are soooo cuteeeee! So far I enjoyed what I'm doing and looking forward to go to school everyday.

Kids are so innocent and simple. They are more direct in showing their appreciation towards others. That gave me lots of satisfaction. In return to my students, I'll try my best to plan interesting lessons and... Miss Peck promised to learn up my spelling so that you all dont have to wait for me to scribble 6 possibilities before telling you all how to spell "N.E.I.G.H.B.O.U.R.S" ok?

More stories to share....

Our Lil' Secret
Malay Boy came up to me and whisper to me...
Malay Boy: Miss Peck, I just quit my buddy reading.
Me: Y?
Malay Boy: Cos I dun like to read to the P1 students... so boring
Me: So you told the teacher in charge?
Malay Boy: I told him that I got CCA
Me: Orrrhhhh... you tell lie!
Malay Boy: Shh... Dun tell anyone ok?

Not so funny joke
Fat Boy: Can I tell you a joke?
Me: (pengsan! but I fake a smile) ok sure
Fat Boy: blah blah blah... (lasted for bout 5mins... yawn and most imptly is NOT FUNNY at all and to make it WORST... the so-called joke is from their textbook)
Me: (Finally he had finished and I squeezed out a smile) Thank you very much, your joke make my day. Now go for your recess... (phew! finally get rid of him)

Eraser War
There is a trend of students playing this game using eraser. Didn't know this game is still on going since my time. That type tat you use the eraser that have flag of different countries, then you try to flip n push it with your fingers. Once it stack over the opponent's eraser, you win. OMG!

Do you miss your fren?
The playful boy, SJ from my class had been absent for 2days. Out of boredom, I asked the cute boy sitting next to SJ.

Me: Do you miss SJ? He is not here for so many days
Cute Boy: Actually I prefer him not to be around.
Me: Huh?
Cute Boy: nothing... nothing...
a moment of silence
Cute Boy: actually sometimes if SJ is around then got ppl talk and play with me
Me: (turn and look at him)
Cute Boy: Aiyah... I also don't know.

Conclusion: Everything comes in a package... Cute students + lesson plans for 44 periods...

Silent Killer gets malu...

2006-06-30T00:00:00.000+08:00

The title is given by ahui - The Silent Killer!

I was having my class observation today again. As per yday, i sat at the back of the class, taking notes... and the crime was about to take place...

Boy: (Turn around and look at me) *FYI, he had been doing it since yday*
Me: (Trying to fake a smile)

This cont'd a few times.... He turned and looked at me again... and I finally opened my mouth to talk to him.

Me: (Friendly tone) What's your name?
Boy: (Happily) R**N. (Not RAIN for sure)
Me: (smile) I see... (Suddenly pull a long face) R**N, turn back and pay attention to the lesson.
Boy: (Never move his head. Not even to his sides)

- "Murder" committed - (Hahahahaha.....)

Well... The "murderer" also gets my fair share of being malu ok?

I was supposed to bring the class up after flag raising. As those that can still rem, we normally have a fix route for each class to move back to the classroom. Then... Ta Da! I only know how to go to the classroom from the staff room! I was stuck there with 37students looking blankly at me. (Feel like digging a hole and hide my face at that point of time)

Me being so smart... I picked a plump boy and asked him, "Can you direct me and the class back?" He walked next to me and nod his head. As we were climbing up the stairs... suddenly he turned and told his fren. "I'm walking together with teacher. Yeah!" I nearly burst out laughing... He was so happily (cos normally every1 has to walk behind the teachers). Innocent little boy...

Conclusion: 4days had passed and I realised I like to "bully" small boys... Haha...

Very 1st Observation...

2006-06-28T16:56:00.000+08:00

Yday I attended the flag raising session. When the athem is playing, i looked ard and saw other teachers singing it, sooooo I....... LIP-SING too. Haha... and i'm going to do that for the next 5 wks. yeah!

Finally I had my 1st observation today... I had 2 sessions today - P5 English and P4 English. I'll be with the P4 class for English and Maths thru'out these 5 weeks.

I shall not comment on the P5 class... Totally speechless bout them. Let's talk bout the angelic P4 class. I simply love them and I think that my CT (cooperating teacher aka mentor) must had put in lots of effort and time in order to obtain such outcomes...

I went to the class after recess and I was earlier than the class so I waited outside the room. As the class returned, 1st girl of the Q saw me and greeted me. There is this boy who stared gong gong at me and walked into the class. After a while, the cute boy walked out again.... (the conversation is something like that)

Cute Boy: Teacher, why are you standing here?
Me: I'm waiting for Mdm Ow.
Cute Boy: Ohh.. She is behind the class and she is reaching soon, you know?
Me: Ok thanks! I'll wait here for her. (still standing outside the classroom)
Cute Boy: hmmm... Why are you waiting for her?
Me: I don't want to tell you... (seeing Mdm Ow walking towards the class) Faster go in the get ready for your lesson.
Cute Boy: Ok... (Ran into the class)

I was so amused by him. So innocent and cute...

Next I went into the class with my CT. The class greeted me "Goooooooood mooooooorrrnnnniing msssssssss peeeecccckkk! Exactly the way we had done it during our time. I felt so weird and yet a sense of satisfaction.

1 thing that I love about my CT is that she bothers to explain the reasons of her action to the class.

Example 1:
Rather than just roughly intro me to the class that "This is Miss Peck. She's here for her training..." (Which most teachers normally do) My CT actually take the effort to explain to the class bout why am I here with them for the next 5 weeks, what are the roles that every single 1 of us (including herself, me and the class), what impact the class will have on me if they behave or misbehave themselves and the importance of why they have to cooperate and help me along.

Examlpe 2:
Today English lesson is on the theme of "A bag of Laughs" hence my CT bring along a joke book to class and tell them some interesting jokes. This boy gets so excited and requested to share his jokes with the class. Instead of getting irritated or just simple said NO to the child, she actually explains to the boy that today's timing is too tight and what are the lined up programs for the class so is not possible for him to share, maybe she'll let him do it tmr. The boy is able to understand and accept it, rather than being rejected plainly and felt disappointed.

She also has very good rapport with the class. They truly enjoyed her lesson and so am I. Thru'out that hour, she hardly raise her voice or shout to maintain the class order. She just give out a few cues and the class with quickly lower their noise level and pay attention.

I'm glad that I am being appointed to be attached to her. I think I'll be learning a lot for her. Kool!

(Looking forward to be with my P4 class tmr again...)

1st day at PRPS...

2006-06-26T21:07:00.000+08:00

The long await day had finally arrived! I woke up at 530am, so long didnt wake up soooo early already. I definitly need some time to tune back as I'll be doing morning session and P4 level.

It had been a long time since I last attended an assembly, flag raising, enter a staff room... and the ultimate is being introduced as a TEACHER in front of sooooo many students! Which makes me realised that I'm really a teacher already.

So far the env, fellow trainees, teachers, P and VP seem fine and the school has a very pleasant culture. Let's pray things will cont'd to be like this. I had yet to meet my 2 cooperating teachers (keep my fingers crossed)... The amusing thing is 1 of them has the same chinese name as me. haha...

I also get to know the 2 of the trainees are my sec sch juniors. So nice to feel "at home"...

That's all.. Yawnz

Reckless Housewife in Action

2006-06-22T14:47:00.000+08:00

Reckless Housewife is BACK!

Yday supposed to be my PP-Day (Prepare for Practicum Day), so I took out the clothings to iron them straight n neat. Everything went on well till I was ironing the pants...

The pants is too long for my small ironing board so it kept falling off the board. So clever me scared that I'll knock over the iron while adjusting the pants, I put it on the dining table (of cos not with the ironing side on the table). A few secs later, I was ready to iron my pants, I stretch out for the iron sitting on the dinning table and Ta Da! The rubber mat on the table already had "ruffles" along the side. *faintz*

- End of Reckless Housewife Episode -

I had cut my fingernails super short. For those that had seen me over these years, I really really seldom seen in non-painted and short nails. (Now I'm making myself sounding like a vampire). So let's see my nice short n unpainted nails. Round of applause for them... (clap clap clap)

PS: HAIZ...... my NAILS!!!

Counting Crows... Counting Down...

2006-06-20T21:44:00.000+08:00

My Nong Nong Holiday is coming to an end... Next monday I'll be starting my practicum. Boo Hoo Hoo...

I spent my entire day flooding myself with Full House and Rain. My cuz, Char sent me some OST of FH while I "exchange" w some lyrics.

And my lil' fren, Muvo S200 suddenly become attitude with me. It refused to let me "feed" it with new songs. Maybe it doesn't like Rain? Well... nothing can stop me from getting Rain into my player. I choose to format the whole player then reload with all the songs and Ta Da! I got my FH OST in it now... So Muvo... Neh Ni, Neh Ni, Bo Bo1

After that... DING! I did this blogskin for myself. Kind of rawly done but since I'm not savvy with HTML codes. I'm since happy with my "mater piece".

*counting my fingers* 5days left...

Relaxation...

2006-06-17T15:24:00.000+08:00

Thur I went to try out my travelling route to my new practicum school. The night before I checked on SBS transit and it says...

24mins in-vehicle time...

and guess what? I reached the school in less than 15mins and within 20mins, I reached White Sands. (Mayb the traffic was smooth on that day...)

While waiting for ahui, I went to shop around in W.S and at the time she had arrived, I had spent $60+ on a pants and a top. Woman! haha...

We took a train to Suntec as I need to collect my top from another outlet. While we were stolling along City Link, I spent another $45 on a pair of heels, then we went to eat at Simply Thai. The Tom Yam soup is superb!

After shop a while at Suntec, we procceed down to meet the usual gang at Cineleisure to watch movie. Aheng, Xiao Wang and me went to , while ahui and karen jie jie enjoyed their Korean Wave of Always Love... Anyway, Cars is a fantastic show... So cute and funny... Really worth watching it.

After the show.... 3 "hungry ghosts" went down to Bedok 85 to eat... We ordered the following:
- 5 BBQ chicken wings
- 1 BBQ Sting ray
- 2 bowls Ah-Bowling
- 1 Orh Jian
- 1 Fried Carrot Cake
- 20 Satays
- 1 Bak Chor Mee (from the famous stall)
- 2 cup of Sugar Cane Juice
- 1 can of Green Tea

It all started due to my craving of KFC. Sighz...

On Fri, da jie had a half day off... So we meet up to go shop shop n eat eat... YES! More shopping and eating.

We met up at Bugis and when to Crystal Jade Macau Restaurant for lunch. The food there is really nice and the staff are very friendly. Xiao mei so happy cos she wanted to try out the food there for a Nong Nong Time.. And Thanks Da Jie for the treat!

Once we had filled up our stomach, SHOPPING TIME! Da jie and xiao mei bought a top each in Bugis. Then we headed down to Suntec as da jie need to buy her shoes. On our walk there... We stopped by a dessert stall in a small street opp Bugis Junction. Ohh... Did I mention having ice cream before this?

We decided to walk to Suntec to help us digest the food... Once we stepped in Suntec, Da jie bought another top! Then followed by me buying a shirt... Finally, Da jie bought her shoes.. YEAH!! Better get that before she started buying more things.

Hmm... every1 bought something.. Then mama eh? Yeah! She bought herself a pair of Crocos... At 1st we wanted to buy it for her, but mama want to be a 自实齐立的家庭主妇 so she insisted in paying it on her own.

Every1 were tired so we sat down at "I'm Lovin It" for coffee and FRIES! And finally.. Go home after that.

How bout dinner? 3 ladies having serious craving for KFC, hence took up the phone and dialled 6-235-3535 and we got our crispy chicken wings in 45mins. Wo-Ho!

Tmr is resting day, Sunday we are gg to have Father's Day dinner and... Next sunday the 3 sisters are gg to join ah chang for a day trip in m'sia

Conclusion: Play to the max and get ready for my practicum.. haiz...

Shopping...

2006-06-14T18:49:00.000+08:00

Yday went shopping with karen jiejie... Bought 2 skirts n a sweater.. Didnt know that East Point got things to shop too. All along in my memory, that is a No-Man Land. And the last time I went there was during the days that I need to go CGH for my gastric check-up. (Bout in 3rd quarter of 2004)

After that we went back to TM to eat "I'm lovin it"... We tried out pepper drumlets n twister fries and the conclusion is SALTY!

Conclusion of the day: White and turqoise combination is in trend (esp in East Point). Right, karen jiejie?

Wedding Bells were ringing on the 110606

2006-06-12T22:43:00.000+08:00

Kukup Trip 20 - 21 May 2006

2006-05-22T15:09:00.000+08:00

I'm back from my trip... So Happy! Really v fun!

Day 1:
Suppose to set off at 9am from Kallang... The blur driver who is a m'sian n unsure of S'pore route sort of lost his way and we set off bout ah hour late.

We reached the custom and was greeted by friendly S'pore custom officers and followed by expressionless ones fr the opp side.

The journey...

We cont'd on our almost 2hours journey b4 we reach Kukup. Our holding place is quite cosy... Only the toilet scared the hell out of me! At 1st I saw that all of them are squating units (which I dunno how to use) and directly lead to the sea! (You can see the sea water below). But heng ah... There are another 3 sitting units so *phew*

Scenes of Kukup:
Welcome!

We had our 1st meal, lunch. Nice home cook food by the owners of the resort. After lunch, some went off to catch a nap, some went to look look see see ard, some had their KTV session in the hall, a few aunties started their mahjong war, We? Hide in the air-con room to be away from the heat (Typical S'poreans!) Haha... Playing Uno, poker cards, talk rot... hehe...

We were serve with afternoon tea. Hot and crispy prawn crackers with lots of prawns (normally s'pore you only get 1 or at most 2 prawns) and with a soothing ching teng. Yummy! I was thinking Wah! sure put on weight liao... After our tea time, the gang decided to move our heavy butt to had a walk at the nearby shops (Actually the sun was setting so no longer so hot and plus the nice breeze due to high tide. haha). We bought fireworks and fire crackers. Most of us were very excited cos they had never set their own fire works. When we went back, we cont'd to hibernate in our aircon room till dinner time.

Oh mann! Just when we were about to have dinner, my KPO gastric attack must come and joine din the 'fun'. I think it is also excited bout the trip that it nearly kill me. Thanks to Bee's ah lao's de magic pill and managed to safe me! In the end, I didnt really enjoy the dinner. Anyway, the dinner was BBQ (sintgray, chicken wings, otah, satay) with cooked food (chilli crabs, fresh prawns, veges, fish balls, chilli sotong)! Fantastic Dinner!

After dinner... The prettiest ladies haha...

Time for our fireworks session after dinner! It was really fun and exciting and BEAUTIFUL too... We had a great session with the 4 kids of the owner of the resort... Playing fire crackers, catching, "fighting scenes", childhood games and photo taking session. I really felt the 'child' in the kids. They are so different from S'pore kids which seem so 'adult'. As compared, the 4 kids are so easy contented, indenpendent and loving over each other. They also had recalled the 'child' in us to play with them.

When we were so exhausted, we went to c the owner and the kids fishing at the back of the resort. I saw a live starfish with 6 arms and a HUGE catfish. Chairman of the Green Club, Mr Jab muz start his lesson on "How to handle a catfish" and "Where is the poisonous area of the catfish".

Supper time! We were served with traditional Teochew sweet potato porridge with nice side dishes. the ikan bilis was so cripsy and fragance!

After a shower (dun really enjoy that cos the env is so tense up cos I very uncomfortable with unfamiliar toilet), we had a KTV session till almost 2+am. When everyone started to feel sleepy, I was like OH NO! I cant sleep how? Luckily, Constance's mummy came and entertain the gang with a new poker game and that kept us thinking and occupied till 5+am.

We went off to the top floor (open area) hoping to see stars but it was too cloudy. As PPY and Jab doozed off at the roof top, Constance and I chit chat till the 1st ray of the sun hit us. Too bad that we couldnt see any sunrise in this area. There is only sunset in this area which we missed it in the evening... sighz...

That marked the start of Day 2...

Day 2:
After a wash up and bfast, we were really to go off for our rainforest tracking and kelong visit. Set off at bout 9am. I was freaked out during the trip when we need to walk on the platform with sea below me and you can see it between the filmsy looking wooden planks. The steps at the so-called jetty was so wet and slippery due to the algae. I was feeling so edgy throughout. I hate the feeling of no stablity!

waiting for the boat
Pls do not litter!

The mangrove rainforest was such an eye opening to me. It was more 'real' as compared to my sungei buloh trip with school. There was this tree top bridge in the rainforest, so... Of cos we muz drop it a visit. Oh my! The edgy feeling came back when I saw the step as we climb up the platform. Each step was narrow and far apart from each other. Worst of all, the stairs was not covered, as in you can see the bottom of the platform. Eeks! I finally made it to the top!

Next was the swaying brigde which nearly drove me nuts. I not scared of height but I hate the feeling of unsecured! But the giant and colourful jellyfish swimming in the rive below me had kept my mind occupied for a while. Another challenge had to greet me when... We need to climb down the platform. AH!

We cont'd the walk into the mangrove forest. Seeing monkeys, orange and blue crabs, fiddler crabs, different sizes of mudskippers... Talking bout mudskippers, in Sungnei Buloh, the class was so happy to see 1 mudskipper. But over here... I see till a bit digusted. Too many and some was really huge! We saw 1 near our resort. It only had its head popping out of the mud but the head is big enough to cook curry fishhead liao. EEEEEEeeeee!

Education photos:

say hello to Macque!
saw the fiddler crab?
It uses its big claw to wave to attach female crabs
Can you c the tiny orange n blue crab?

We reached the finishing point at this 6 level tall avary tower. Again I was nearly freak out not by having to climb up but by the stairs and coming down again! But the top view was really breathe taking! Oh my god! Greenery everywhere and the river flowing below, nice breeze and lots of clouds. And that was telling us, fast go off, it was going to rain! haha...

Scenes from the top of the tower
Realised the dark clouds is covering the sky?

We hurry back to the jetty and whilte waiting for the boat, the rain clouds decided to spare us and we cont'd to look out for creatures nearby. I saw a viper (sea snake) swimming nearby and of cos more mudskippers!

The boat came and we cont'd to visit the kelong. Nothing special cos I had been there b4. The Archer Fishes were keeping PPY very very entertained! And a batch of irritating ppl made us angry as their actions might kill the fishes fry. TMD them! Next life be fish and let ppl toture back ah.

We went back to our resort after that. Rest, pack our barang barang... We went to enjoy some sea breeze at the back of the resort (Smart ppl get ready faster mah so got time to relax) and I spotted another sea snake. What's with me and snake? haha... When the sun get stronger, we decided to go and have ice kacang. I had that 1 yr ago and I miss that. Yummy traditional ice kacang and now... another 6 ppl were missing the ice kacang. Haha!

Seafood lunch at the restuarant... and we started our journey back home.

Overall, it was a relaxing and fulfilling trip. A real good escape from the city and I love the ppl there. So friendly, helpful and simple! How I wish I can be simpler too.

Conclusion: We will go again ok?

(photos will be updated soon as the gand are still sorting them out)

2006-05-18T20:57:00.000+08:00

Over the long wkends...

2006-05-16T12:46:00.000+08:00

Fri (Vesak Day)
I spent my boring PH at home. No where to go n raining chickens n ducks... by the time the rain had stopped... I already too lazy to move out of the house. Luckily, I had "toy story" to accompany me. A PH and there was nothing interesting on TV. So I watched vcd... "I'm not stupid 2!"

This show is really superb and I like Jerry and the Principal the most.

Sat and Sun
Went out with da jie and mama, go eat at Boon Keng Market then go Bishan to settle some stuff. Then I went to meet the other ladies (the usual gang) to have steam boat then we went over to Ah Eng's place for a overnight chit chat session. And.. Sorry Ah Ben, for making you as the joke of the night. haha...

Sun night... went for a huge feast with evvery1 cos Mother's Day mah. Hmm.. gg to grow fat again I guess...

Mon
Went out with mei mei n ah chang... We had Pepper Lunch and when to enjoy some branded goods air in DFS. haha... Followed by catching Poseidon at the new Cathay. Not bad an environment and the show is truly superb. But.... Super COLD ah!!! Next time go muz prepare extra jacket.

Today
False alarm of sore eyes... turned out to be infection w some particles. Heng ah! hopefully recover soon.

I want lots of $...

2006-05-12T16:59:00.000+08:00

Whenever I bored, I got the implusion of wanting to spend $... So...

I want to buy...

1) Clothes for practicum (I dun have formal wear mah)
2) Shoes (I need shoes to go w my formal wear and another 1 for causal use)
3) Perm my hair... (bored w my old hair stlye)
Something that looks like this
4) Bag for practicum too (seem like practicum is a good excuse to spend $)
But if I can get this then YIPPY liao
5) Digital Cam (Sony T30.. Ful black de)
6) Take a studio photo with mama n my 2 sisters.

Just as I wish I had the $ to indulge myself into some endless shopping, I began to feel the importance of time and right timing. Recently I felt that timing is just an important issue. The same thing that happened at a wrong timing might not turn out well. And when at a point that you felt that your timing is right, the opportunity might had went off.

Conclusion: Time don't wait for you...

Part 3 (Final)

2006-05-08T18:00:00.000+08:00

Ex-Colligs gathering at Aranda Country Club
06 May 2006

B4 gg for the gathering, I went to Gong Shan Pri to cast my very 1st vote in my life. Nothing exciting... But I like their new arrangement so less q-ing for everyone. In fact, no q-ing for me. I got it over and done with in less than 5 mins.

1stly must thanks the beloved aheng to organise this gathering. We had lots of fun and also lots of alcohol too. Poor Dean got to perform "merlion" due to over drinking and too much mixing of diff alcohol (cos we play games mah).

The next morning I went home and slept for almost 24hours ah... PIG! Muz be the accumulating tiredness over the whole week.

Then today went to Chong Zheng Pri to meet my practicum supervisior. My maiden school... It had changed so much ever since the year I grad. Bout 11 years I guess... The school had grow taller! Really! It is 6 storey high now. Lots of restructuring. It really been thru a whole make over ah. But most of my teachers were no longer there.

That's all of my whole long list of updates. I'll try to get the pics posted asap. Stay Tune!

But muz thanks WQ to wake up early n go n buy crabs for dinner... but come back then KO again. Anyway... after we grab some bite, SX, Jabb, PPY and I went for a mini nature walk. The mozzies nearly killed us so we quickly escaped off. However we still managed to catch a few good scenes with our eye-for-nature (Thks to Jabb esp...)

We proceeded to Downtown East to get some stuff that we need for dinner and went back to chalet. Due to high demand by PPY, we went for a tennis session and followed by bball. Oh man! As if we are gg for sports day... Tiring and followed by muscle aching now! But it was fun... I want to go for tennis again. Oh not forgetting the "Fizzly Wazzly Game" that drove PPY nuts... hehe

Dinner preparaion time... WQ cooked black pepper crab for us and it was 102% yummy! We had fried chicken wings, chilli stingray, goreng cuttlefish balls with black pepper sauce, chilli crabsticks, boiled hotdogs, satay and 4 pcs of otah. (All left over fr previously night BBQ)

After a good shower for every1, we had a mahjong session! I had not been playing mahjong for the past 8 yrs and well... I still rem how to play. No wonder ppl say learning bad things is easy and die hard in you.

We wanted to go to c sun rise... but in the end, the sun rise see us instead. All of us fell asleep while waiting.

Day 3 (05 May 2006)
We nearly over slept and past the check out time. Heng we suddenly all sprung off the bed. After checking out, PPY, Jabb and I went for BK bfast and got trapped in Downtown East by a heavy downpour. So we went to the arcade and spent $$ there. Haha... I took a bad home and that marked the end of the Green Club Chalet!

Once I got home, i rested a while then ah mei accompany me to go make my new specs and contact lens. Then we head down to Ngee Ann City to meet da jie for pizza hut dinner. Her new co required her to b station to shop front for a day. She complaint non-stop bout her aching legs... (So ppl out there dun always think retailers have an easy job. If u dun believe me, try it on ur own.) We bought a watch for mama... her mother's day present. Guess what? Mama said too pretty already, muz wait got "function" then can use. And.... the 3 of us screamed at her...

Lots of updates... (P1)

I’m back from my chalet. I had a great time… Now, I had some much things to post, hence I’ll break them down into “episodes” for you. The pics are not with me, I’ll try to upload them as soon as I got hold on them ok?

02 May 2006 Preparation for Workshop
I went to school to do some preparation for our Green Club’s very 1st workshop, The Butterfly Workshop.

While Jabb was preparing the ppt slides, PPY, Jas and I decorated the tut room with lots of butterfly cut-outs, posters, handicraft (thanks to Jas for all the hard work) and not forgetting the artistic drawing done by ME! (* ‘ – ‘ * blushing). I used poster-paint and painted flowers on the whiteboard. In the end, the whole tut room looked like a pre-sch classroom. Haha…

I supposed to meet the legendary lao-hum-ku for a session. She proposed to organize this session to give us some feedbacks on our assignments… in the end… TMD! (Angry things no need to cont’d)

But good also lah… I managed to end my stuff earlier anc went jalan jalan w R. We went to PS and I saw this super good-looking salesman from BOSE. Then followed by gg to find JC to pass him his bday present. Give he earlier lah cos I would b in chalet during his bday. Anyway Happy 25th Bday to you!

03 May 2006 The Butterfly Workshop
The big day had arrived! But the morning rain had made us soooo worried bout the attendance. Nonetheless, many of the participants had turned up for the session. (Thank you for your supprt!)

The event turned out to be a great success. This had boosted the Green Club’s confidence and morale. (Hang on guys! There will be more exciting and interesting activities coming your way)

No matter what... There's always time for phto shooting

Exams over le!

2006-04-27T16:24:00.000+08:00

A bit slow in this but.. anyway exams had ended...

However the happines didn't last for too long, cos I feeling real bored now. Everyday doing nothing... ston-ing away, watch vcd, surf net, play games... OH MY! Cant it be more fulfilling?? SO bored that I decided to change my blogskin again. A brighter colour might makes me happier...

I got posted to Pasir Ris Pri for my practicum. Will be gg there fr 26 Jun onwards. Got lots of things to prepare... esp my clothings... So.... shopping spree is coming soon... but need to wait for $$! haha... i'm also eyeing on MuVo S200... *evil grin*

Recently ppl ard me seemed to b a bit upset... all the happy n cheerful faces r missing in action...

My conclusion is: if 1 + 1 cannot be 2... then choose to b a happy 1
