End of teaching stint.

At least for my 4B, 4K and 3G, that is. I still have another lab for 3E later, but that's Elsie's class, so.. I just go in and jalan around while waiting for Yiwen to come lol. I must say Mr Tan is rather fortunate to have 3 cheeky-but-does-work classes.. I just hope I did not 誤人子弟 too much. =.=

And it's rather weird to address Thomas as Mr Goh, lol. =.=

K, rambling, just have nothing to do while waiting for the 11am lab which means I'm probably gonna bathe in sweat once again because the weather is JUST too sweltering hot these days, being in lab and especially when the lab requires balancing and hence fans are all off is simply torturous.

Dozing off!

有驚無喜

Went back to TJ today with half a mind of chatting with Mr Ng. A look at the extension numbers depressed me: He's no longer teaching in TJ! A quick run down of the list and the general office's board told me that none of my teachers are in TJ already except for Faye Tan and Kitty Tan.. Bah! Mr Ng's gone!!! Boos. I never thought that there will be a day in which he'll retire -.-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today's the first day which I had classes all day, for most lab classes for sec3s had ended and I originally had 2 lessons today with the sec4s as well. Was rather confused bout 3 pin plugs the entire day, -.- and the many explanations did not exactly make it much better.. I shall just stick to one version and hope I don't contradict myself when I readdress the question. Lol. Afterall, I still suck at physics. =.= I finally found 4B to be a little endearing, because I don't usually teach the class even though it's my form class. Mr Lee does, and that's why interaction with the class was minimal. But today's encounter in the canteen made me feel that they really took me as a form teacher, even albeit only for 2 weeks. :) I will miss threatening to confiscate their phones and being accused of aiming at one particular person and asking why the 3B guy is always walking around the school and going "cher"-ing, lol.

No no I'm not sadistic. It's part of the classes' humour and interaction. (:

Changes to the phone!


This is currently my wallpaper. So nice and happy right! Feel cheery looking at it :)

Switched my 沒有如果 and 愛情之所以因爲愛情 to 情歌 and 別再為她流淚. Fish's CD is practically the whole OST for 敗犬女王, and the constant use of the songs is making me totally fall in love with the songs!! *swoons*

On another happy side note, Shiori is coming to visit! I'm anticipating her visit when I can bring her everywhere!!! (:

Tomorrow's a rest day from relief teaching.

Star Awards 2009

This is the first star awards that I've watched since 2006, I think. That is if I did watch the 2006 one in the first place, because 2007 I was in Switz and 2008's was pushed to 2009. It's a rather enjoyable bitching process about who is pretty and who's not, who should get the awards and who should not. 

I was particularly glad that Guo Liang and Joanne Peh got their awards, because I thought they deserved it, especially Guo Liang!!! The way they gave out the title cards were also rather innovative, I like! But Chen Mei Feng was =.= so bimbotic!! Ethan =D

Ok, I've wasted enough time on tv shows today, it's time I get down to doing some of the Physics questions that I'm supposed to go through in class tomorrow. 

Maxed out

I think sleeping 5-6 hours a day and having activities the entire day is finally taking its toll on me.. Even though I could keep myself awake during classes and tuition, I guess a sleep debt is really a sleep debt.

Yesterday was a totally knocked out day. Haha. Just spent most of my time in the car dozing off. -.- Really couldn't keep my eyes open late.. Guess that's a negative for earning some $$. But sakae was fun enough, especially Minchao and his "I won't dio the open number again!"

And I thought I could sleep in today since there's absolutely nothing going on for me, and my dad woke me up at 9plus to go for breakfast. I only slept 6 hours again!!

Maybe I should sleep a little earlier today. Hahahaha. Tomorrow's a good day with Yiwen and Clement coming to school to visit me!! :D

Wants!

I ate my mango tart! It was heaven. I ate caramel banana tart too! That was not bad either. That brings my tarts up to a total of 5 tried. :)

I want to eat popeye's!

I want to jalan around!

I want to use up my vouchers!

I want to do a lot of things!

All before the end of next week. Because after next week, I'm not so sure I have time anymore..

I want to stay with relief teaching in AHS ):

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

I suddenly remembered why I didn't like AHS so much a while back.

It felt so damn weird today during assembly, when I was taking over the duties of Mr Mok (They invited Teo Ser Luck for assembly) when they started standing up, and sprouting words out that I felt unfamiliar. There was the lyrics on ppt, but.. It just didn't feel the same.

My beautiful lyrics:

浩荡嵯峨气象雄 黉舍峙,狮岛中

圣洁公义道之宗 肇锡佳名号圣公

咨爾多士慎磨砻 维上帝 临汝躬

春弦夏誦莫从容 干云之木自青葱

进德修业树风声 三教就四德成

永为基督之精兵 永为邦国之干城

The stuff shown on ppt:

浩荡圣中气象雄 如鹰展翅岛中

圣洁公义我尊崇 远近嘉名号圣公

治学立业须谦恭 师友爱乐融融

把握今天勤用功 创造锦绣之前程

进德修业树校风 向着标杆力冲

永为基督之精兵 永为邦国之忠臣

Couldn't bring myself to sing the unfamiliar words out. That aside, I still love the chinese pledge! It makes the pledge seem very elegant (:

Took over a lab class today. Ms Elsie didn't know there was supposed to be lab for 3G today, so I ended up being the only person in the entire lab shouting over 31 loud monkeys. Luckily I did the lab with the other class yesterday already -.-

That aside, I'm really rather happy in AHS now. Loads of teachers to talk to, and I don't know what made me go up to a teacher (who apparently just came not long ago) during lunch today and sit down and chat with her. Guess it's the familiar atmosphere lowering my normal apprehensiveness.

I should make use of the break time tomorrow to mug mug mug mug mug. Exam on friday, and I feel like there's nothing in my head!!

And I realized, relief teaching in the morning and going for tuition in the afternoon is such a tempting route to go, lol because relief teaching has no workload, and then after tuition the nights are still free! And after calculation, there's a decent take home pay. Okok stop dreaming. That's not likely to happen.

Congrats to AHSCO for maintaining (didn't know they got gold in 2007, lol), and to AICO for attaining gold. Even though they are giving out golds like freebies this year.. And gwh-s are like topless5 for $1.38.

Bah ok I'm rambling nonsense. Time to study then scoot off to bed.

Day1

started off with 118 steps. But it was rather fab.

Hahaha, I can't believe everyone still recognizes me. -.- And even the batch, within a split second, no less. I'm amazed. And one of them was like, you're from my form class! My only reply was, oh really?

Omg my memory really sucks.

I totally survived lab, because well, I probably were estimating A level SPA standards when I was worrying bout it. -.- The questions were really fundamental, and the mistakes they made showed inexperience, lol.

But I can't believe I got lost twice today to the same venue.

Haha. More lab tomorrow. And more free time tomorrow. :)

AHS <3

I went back to AHS today!

And it was such an amazing trip, I was smiling madly to myself all the way from the school to Bugis.

I went back, because the school admin called me a couple of days ago and asked me if I wanted to relief teach Physics for the upper secondary for the next couple of weeks. I was groggy that time when they called, and after hearing the word Physics, my only and immediate reaction was: I've never taught Physics before.

After some thinking, I thought I could cope with it, and called back to tell them that I wanted to accept it. In short, after some communication and other communication and some uncertainty, I was to see the teacher who was on ICT to brief me on what's to be taught. So I met the teacher at 1.01pm today? I was freaking late for about a minute BECAUSE I graduated too long ago and didn't know that the side gates are closed. Hence, I had to take a big detour to get to the main gate, which, I conveniently forgot to sign out after that because by that time the side gates were opened alr -.-

The teacher took me upstairs to the staffroom which I've been to before because I did go back a few times after the renovations have fully finished. After telling me what's to be done, he brought me around for an introduction to the teachers I'll be working with for the next couple of weeks. During the short trip around, I met like about 5 teachers on the way, and all of them recognized me!!! He first took me to see Mr Tam, who, of course, was my Physics teacher back in sec4.. I'm amazed that he recognized me as an ex student, even though I doubt he knew which batch I graduated from.. Lol. After that, Mr Tan took me to see a few more Physics teachers who i'll be assisting in labs or classes (PHYSICS LAB SPA ZOMG I totally felt like killing myself for forgetting bout the SPA factor. I think my lab skills are cui-ed).

On the way, met Mrs Lim, THE Higher Chinese teacher (and it happened to be her birthday today!) THE CO in charge, Ms Chan and Ms Chan (lol) and a few others. Ms Chan (chemistry) could recognize me, but I'm more surprised that Ms Chan (SS) could actually see me, point at me and went, "old student!" when I don't even remember being very active in her class. o.o Actually, I'm kind of amazed that all the teachers somehow remembered me, because I didn't really recall being very outspoken or whatever during AHS days -.-

And then I met Thomas Goh!!!! Totally amazing.

Then, Mr Tan showed me to the lab area, and we went back downstairs to the general office to collect my pass, photocopy my certs and stuff. Kudos to the school admin for helping me clarify with MOE about the discrepancy in the pay. I think Cathryn is very nice to me (:

After the admin stuff were settled, I went back to the staffroom. Met Mr Yao on the way and even though he doesn't recognize me as an ex student (because he's never taught me before), I had a kick out of looking at him stare at my less-than-school-skirt-length skirt but unable to lash out at me because I'm not a current student. Lols. Went back to the staffroom with the intention of finding Thomas to chit chat abit because it's really been so long since I last saw him! I couldn't find him at his table, then I walked over to Mrs Lim's table to chit chat with her :D The moment she saw me, she pointed at a calendar on her table. It took me 5 seconds to recognize that that was the calendar we gave her on Teachers' Day 2002!!!!!!!!!!


Like, OMG that thing hasn't fallen apart yet!! And it's amazing that she actually kept it all these while.. 6 years passed by le leh!!!!!!!! All she said was, you never changed at all, so you're recognizable. Faints. Haha. It only took her a second to figure out that I was in 4C 2002.. Mrs Lim sure has some amazing memory!!!!! I totally <3 her. Heh. Here's to being AMath rep for 2002 and being recognizable until now =D

I had a fun time catching up with her, and she even remembered class monitor as Yogi, and that he studies in Australia, when I don't even know! In turn, I tried to tell her where all the others were, though my information isn't exactly complete.. Lol. Finally decided to stop disturbing her when I saw Thomas pop back into the staffroom, and went over to find him. Turned out that he's actually been teaching in AHS for 1plus years!! And chemistry, no less. Hahaha. Had another round of catching up, and I'm looking forward to the la-kopi times we can have for the next 2 weeks, even though for the next week, my timetable would be quite packed. Lol.

Left the school at 2plus, feeling very happy and satisfied. I hope I can survive Physics, SPA included. Lol.

Late for a week!

I intended to write this entry on monday, because it was an event last sunday.

...

It turned out to be friday today already!!!

Busy busy busy.. This whole week has been rather crazy.. Lol.. Busy with tuition, busy with scolding kids in terrible classes, and busy with data entry, busy with trying to remember kanji for today's test, busy with trying to read up physics and getting damn irritated with coordinate geometry, and having great satisfaction. Busy with planning how I should reach 7000 by June and wondering if I can up my repayment amount to 1000 a month.

You're probably clueless at what I'm rambling about hahahaha. PM me for details!

Anyways, the event on sunday.


My uncle bidded for something last year at a temple dinner or whatever you call that, so this year he had a table and he invited us to it! I originally didn't want to go, because I thot it was just too troublesome and such dinners end very late, and going there means I have to go into the temple with my parents for praying and stuff, and the incense makes me tear every time.. =.= But I got caught by my aunt while going downstairs, so I ended up heading back home for a change of clothes and then followed them out. ...


Heh. Very cute. It's made up of oranges. There were 4 numbers too, but they've been trampled on..


They honestly look TOO alike, for goodness sake. Which is my mum? LOL.


People who invited us to sit at the table (:

Of course, we can't miss out ah ma..



The cold dish. I think it's rather awesome. The sushi actually taste nice! Actually, so does the rest of the plate. LOL. A close up at the top left hand corner..


3cm think char siew!! Wonderful. LOL.


The dessert: mango sago, which was SO good as well. I think the dinner was yummy!!!!


The people responsible for the yummy food.


A self shot, while waiting for the entire thing to start. We freaking reached at 7, while the event officially started at 8. It was soooooo boring la! The only interesting thing was food :\ I have to reiterate, the food is really good. :D


This is the thing which will ensure another half table for next year. LOL!


My very humourous uncle and the funny cousin. Congrats for getting into NUS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was all for sunday, lol. I was jalan-ing away at Tampines1 on monday (again) before tuition, and under *ahem someone's suggestion, went to Swensen's for lunch. My baked rice was good! And THE DESSERT WAS HEAVEN.


Heaven heaven heaven!!! I'm gonna have this everytime I step into Swensen's!!!!! LOL. And instead of spending away the voucher that I received last time for a free calamari, I got another voucher for dessert instead.. Dangs. Hahaha.

Jalan-ing around Tampines 1, I look more closely at the shops which I didn't really go into the first time I stepped inside Tampines 1.. For one thing, the crowd was STILL THERE. Uniqlo's still queuing like mad.. So I chose to avoid that place and went into the cuter ones instead. Then I found something!!


My love!


And a whole bunch of my love.. Hehehe. They are too cute, CHOPPER!


Too cute!! This shop is totally awesome for looking. But buying them will make a rather big hole in the wallet. Lols.

Oh and acer guy is here to fix the com! And it turned out that only the ram is dirty. ... ... ... ... ...

At least I'll come home to an untouched computer tonight. (:

Crazy day(s)

I have to admit, Junhong is a pretty amazing person. :\

It's been a crazy day. I'll update tomorrow, after my tuition. -.-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday was one crazy day. We met for Good Friday lunch (lol!) since we have practice at night and ended up at Manpuku again because the star of the day wanted to eat the tantalizing tarts!


Tada. The tarts were good, though they cannot be compared to the kiwi tart that I had the day before.. That's still the best! We spent about 2 hours there eating and talking nonsense (and watching Cheeyao - he's such an entertainer I swear!), before heading back to TM to catch our 3.30pm show: Shinjuku Incident. I thought the movie was.. rather saddening. Not the violent parts of course. Yes I can't stand brutal violence -.- I watched Saw only for the sake of the plot, not for the sadistic moments (which about filled up 90% of the series :\)

But I digress. I thought the movie was good, in the sense that everything was rather realistically done.. Excellent storyline, emotion wise. A rare Jackie Chan movie without his stunts.. The actors have a certain credibility, especially Daniel Wu. I pitied over the fact that someone so innocent, because of circumstances, turned out such in the end. Realistic until it's disturbing..

After the movie, we went down to PA for our istana performance practice..

That made the day a Japanese day!
1) Manpuku
2) Shinjuku
3) LION - Japanese percussion piece.

After practice, we went (or rather, I was dragged) to the hawker centre for some dinner, in which we found the dinner stalls rather unappetizing, and hence ended up at Junhong's house with mcdelivery. 2 of them ordered mee goreng from downstairs, and we ordered a mcspicy, mcchicken, fillet o fish, green tea, iced milo, and 46 pieces of nuggets. Yea right. Because everyone was somehow crazy over mcnuggets, we just ended up ordering that much, and it became 10 bucks per person. For a mac meal! How crazy. Ended up playing 2 (half) rounds of mahjong, and was interrogated until 7am.. =.= The worst thing was, I only woke up at 11plus after I fell asleep, and the next day was a PA day, so I had to cab home, bathe and then go out again. I hate the fact that I have to go back to Lavender after reaching home from Lavender.. zzz.

So Saturday was PA's first official practice since the moving house. 28 people turned up to celebrate YCO's 28th birthday!! Too coincidental, I say. Lol. We had some yummy cake and then LION's combined practice commenced, and it was over in a flash. Laughed my head off (internally) at Junhong when he "solo-ed" for LION, because Shaun was sadly in Tekong already.

Went out for dinner after that. Nothing new about it, except that I insisted it to be City Hall, and I thought it was rare since I hardly ever contribute ideas as to where to go for dinner haha. But no, I didn't have any particular cravings, my main purpose there was Adidas, where we got Weisheng an Adidas jacket that he wanted. Temporary hole in the account. Lol. And there's where all the second part of craziness started.


5 guys and 2 gals, the guys were all so excited at what they can order (the second time). We were at The Pizza Place for dinner, and after choosing our food (in which some of us shared pizza and some ordered main courses), we coughed out the money that we were supposed to pay. Andy tabulated all to be $86, so we had the money nicely and he thus went to order the food. No one expected him to come back with $1.90. So amazing Junhong's brain begin to whirl, and soon everyone was on the fact that we might as well cough out 2 bucks more for another munchys (potato and cheese), and after that more and more money appeared on the table, and..


Soon there was enough money for a platter of food. =.= Crazy guys! So Andy went to order a second time, and then he came back. And then after that we realized that Junhong's drink was not yet ordered, which resulted in why there was an excess in the money in the first place.. Zomg. All $16 out thrown by us because of the excess money that wasn't meant to be excess in the first place. ...

Amazing. Haha.

So after the full dinner, the crazy guys went on to suggest Cafe Cartel for their half priced cakes, and pretty soon we were in front of Cafe Cartel @ Marina Square.. Very amazing. On the way, Minchao kept asking if they were really planning to go to Cartel, and I was like, yea, they are always serious about such stuff. Lol! I guess he got traumatized, and then after that became as crazy as them. -.- Everyone's money was like free flow.. "I treat this" "I treat that" became very common phrases in Cartel. Junhong went straight to the counter after we were served in Cartel, and ordered 6 cakes for us.


3 varieties, 6 cakes. They were so good! Until Junhong went ahead and ordered one more cake, together with waffle fries. ...

The ultimate was when Minchao kept looking at the menu after we were done with our cakes.. Junhong noticed him looking and then asked him what exactly he was looking at. He wondered whether he had enough money, then showed Junhong what exactly he wanted to order.. Junhong took a look at his wallet, declared that he definitely had enough money, then proceeded on to the counter to order.

All this conversation crossed while we were not noticing. By the time we noticed something.. Junhong was already on his way to order.. And then Minchao showed us what he planned to order.. All of us collapsed. =.=


8 scoops of ice cream, cookies and brownies. ZOMG-ness.

ON TOP OF THAT, Junhong went ahead to cut bread for us. 7 pieces, so all of us were scrambling, not because of the bread, but because whoever gets it last will get the largest piece of the bread. ...


This was the outcome of Cheeyao, who ate a main course with extra toppings, part of the platter, 2 big pieces of pizza, cake, bread AND ice cream.

I love my crazy guys and gal. For whatever craziness they get up to, I can't find it in other cliques. Lol.

Tampines 1!


The hype of Tampines just opened today. :D

Headed down at dinner time after a rather pekchek session with Shermaine, who seemed to have completely and thoroughly forgotten about anything regarding chemical bonding. Sighs!


The other gals were already at the dinner place, so I just had to go up and find them, but none of us knew that I didn't have to queue, because I had a table inside already. =.= So I ended up queuing for 10 minutes before going in, which, I think was a lot more fortunate compared with the people who came later :\

Food! The omu rice I had was nothing to rave about, it wasn't spectacular. But I do have something to rave about.

This!!


Very tantalizing tart. Very nice price. $6.80. Clement said, just try it once. But I believe I'll be trying it a second time tomorrow :\ Totally yummilicious though. :D It's good stuff!!!! The wholesome goodness of the kiwi pieces in the mouth, gawd!

After dinner, we went to explore the rest of the shops in Tampines1. I walked until I was so disoriented.. Too many weird shops hahaha. Amongst the new shops, the most sought after one has to be uniqlo. But I wasn't particularly interested in that (yet). I was indeed very glad that challenger is back at Tampines! And more than a little disappointed that Kbox isn't back in Tampines ): Shaun Chen's optical shop was also here, and we saw him talking to a few aunties at the mall lol. Jeff Wang was nowhere in sight, probably because his Xiao Bar Wang isn't quite ready yet..

Apart from Challenger, I also loved the following stores!

Emicakes!!!!! DURIAN CREPE ZOMG.
Carl's Junior!
Topshop
Auntie Anne's (CINNAMON SUGAR!!)
Outfitter Girl's!
Natural Project (though I can buy nothing from inside hahahaha)

Haha, there are alot of stores with 2 storeys! Thai Express Bistro, F.I.S.H, etc..

I am amazed to discover a swimming pool inside Amore Living. -.- To have a swimming pool inside, the store must be damn huge..

But the toilets suck! A few of them were not in use, and I realize why, after walking into another cubicle which was flooded. So I thot, ok.. Just go another one.. Then when I flushed the toilet, THE WHOLE CUBICLE DROWNED!! Zomg, like, gross. Luckily I was able to escape out before the water level got disgusting, but ew!! So many cubicles drowned!! Guess that's the only bad thing in the mall -.-

Lots of time to explore the shops in time to come. And I'm going back for a second round of Manpuku tomorrow -.- Hahaha. Mango tart here I come!

2 fave songs.





RIP.

So random!

I love writing lyrics, somehow.

Here's the proof!


And..

1)
2)
3)

Yep, it's empty. I just started to realize that a blog, whilst private, can still be anyhow read and deciphered and misjudged. So in case I get misjudged again, I shall not write anything this time round. I just wish the nagging thoughts will disappear soon, and I will be 100% fair to myself. Whatever unfairness, it's all the brain's fault!

And I think, I still tend to be childish sometimes.. And hanging on to some stuff which I should not be concentrating on. The line is getting blurry.. Even to myself.

Loneliness

August's addition is both a good thing and a bad thing for my grandma, though before August came, she was constantly grumbling bout pets being a nuisance. After August came, he turned out to be good company for her, in which she can grumble to him, feed him when she's bored, play fetch with him and watch him run about etc.

But this also means that she's exceptionally lonely when August is not around at home, but at his second house. And it does seem like August spends more time at the second house nowadays, such that my grandma misses him soooo much when he's not around. It's kind of 心痛 to see her talk joyfully about August, but becoming sad at the sight of not seeing him. Especially when she's starting to lose her memory about little things these days; about me appearing at her house on saturday.

Sigh.

從前從前。。。

There was a little boy who did badly in studies since primary1. So his mum requested for a tutor, at primary5, and because the boy was very unbalanced in his heart, the mum asked for the tutor to tutor both kids at the same time, so the boy didn't have to watch the smaller one play when he had to do work.

But the boy did not appreciate tuition and often made this known to the tutor. Meanwhile, the smaller one was smart enough to avoid being scolded by the tutor. The tutor tried all means and ways (hard and soft) to communicate with the kids. Since they wanted to watch cartoons on saturday morning, the tutor arranged to shift tuition to wednesdays afternoons. But the boys were distracted once it reached 5pm, because it was their time to go downstairs and play with their friends. They didn't do the tuition work, so the tutor shifted the focus to coaching them in their homework, so at least they would still be doing work, even if it's for school and not extra work. And the tutor did not give them homework from tuition anymore.

One day, the boy was to have remedial lessons in school on wednesdays, so they arranged for tuition to be on mondays instead, where both boys assured the tutor that they would be home early enough for tuition. There was one monday where the smaller one had remedial lessons in school and hence that lesson to push forward to thursday. Thursday came, and the tutor had a search-for-the-kids session as usual downstairs for about 15minutes before bringing them up. Apparently the boy asked for tuition to be released half an hour after tutor found them, because he has a friend "who can only come down once a week to play, and have to go up after one hour". Of course, the tutor disagreed because who has tuition for only half an hour!? The tutor forced him to do his school work, and after that gave him a few problem sums to do. Halfway through doing, he start throwing tantrums that his friend was to go up soon and that he seldom played with his friend and yada yada..

The tutor got angry and said, "so go down if you want to!"

And the boy immediately went down.

The tutor was rather stunned, and sent a very long sms to the boy, and told the boy's brother to convey to him the message that they were to stay at home during monday, where the next tuition session was. So the next tuition session came, and the tutor reached at 3.30, to find no one opening the door, and no one answering the phone. Luckily there was a community centre nearby, and hence she went there to sit down to while away the time while waiting. At 4.15, she saw the boy whizzing past the cc, and hence decided to go up. By this time, the boy was at home already, and the dad was surprised to see the tutor, because no one told him that the tutor was coming. The boy denied knowing that the tutor was coming as well. 30 minutes into the lesson, the boy shouted downstairs to his friend that he'd be down in a while, and asked the tutor if he could go play. Of course the tutor refused, and after the dad left the house to buy food, the shouting and grumbling and debate started, and lasted for half an hour.

After that the boy saw his smaller brother downstairs, and got even more miffed because he was stuck at tuition and the brother wasn't. So the shouting went on for even longer, and when the brother came home, there was a huge shouting match over why he played downstairs. In the debacle, the boy admitted that he knew tuition was on monday at 3.30 and even asserted that he told the brother that it was 3.30 on monday.

And this is how the tutor reached at 3.30, but only left at 8pm. The tutor understood that if the mum ever sees this post, there would be nothing left of them for a next tuition session.

Life without PA and PA ppl on a saturday

:D

Other than tuition in the morning (which I panicked after I woke up at 8.30am when tuition was at 9.30am at Hougang), I went for klunch at Hougang plaza, and then went to Kovan to see cute little Nicole, then to grandma's house to "show face"! It's been damn long since I last went to my grandma's hse on a saturday night wor.

It's been getting a little dangerous to walk up and down the stairs lately. Knowing the clumsy me, I'll probably fall down at the first chance I get, so please get all the renovations done before I really do fall down!!



Up and down the planks..

Kbox was oddly satisfying, probably because my voice went back to normal. (: If it had been a few days earlier, I'll have ended up with all guys' songs -.- And it's the first time that Jay's songs actually occupied like 20/30 song spaces, thanks to kor kor, who just ended up randomly choosing his songs, some to learn, some to sing. Lols!

After the session, we headed down together with kor kor back to his hse, to baby Nicole :D She seems even more energetic than ever! Her strength is like, totally amazing. She wore out all the adults in the house, save for Simon who was still sleeping by dinnertime -.- Spent most of the time trying to coax her to laugh, or playing wii (for the first time). After trying out some games, especially the Olympics one, I think all our arms can stay limp tomorrow...........



Popped by grandma's house after that, and then played a little mahjong, watched a little 愛就宅一起, spent some time trying to stop dogs from biting each other's head off, and then went home. August is totally bullied in his own territory! And it got even worse when Louis came over, because he just totally gave up on chasing Vinvin and went to hide under some chair. -.- I suppose he likes to 欺負弱小, haha! Just because Louis is bigger than him...




August went away after Louis came over to inspect things, and the new dog addition to the family.

I took a video of August being 100% bullied, haha. It's just so fun to watch.. Everyone else was watching the entire time too! Poor Louis can only watch from the other side.. Hahaha.. To think August was bullied by his half breed! Vinvin's a very cute version of a schnauzer maltese.



Haha, come to think of it, my family has kind of a lot of dogs.. Just this side alone, there's August, Vinvin, Louis, Ryan, and August's parents somewhere with my cousin..

The other side has Brownie and the Wang wang who was totally responsible for making me like dogs, ): Oh well.

Late! Time to sleep.

100% pisces character.

I couldn't find anything that contradicts my character. Hmmm. Can you?



As the twelfth and final sign of the occidental zodiac, Pisceans make comfortable followers. Pisces people don't find their direction easily. They are not self-propelled and they feel a certain distance from the rest of the human race. When things don't go their way, Pisceans may surrender to self-pity.

Pisces is the soul of sensitivity. Nothing escapes his notice. The faint rustle of a falling leaf that kisses the earth sounds, to a Pisces, like a huge truck smashing into a brick wall. Baby's whimpering in his crib is, to a hyper-susceptible Pisces, the wail of a thousand hungry infants. Pisces is born this way. Overly, tenderly, pricklingly, unrestrainedly sensitive. Pisceans tend toward all that is beautiful, gravitate to loveliness and crave the artistic. Pisceans are the sleepy, languorous, irresistible creators of whom we frequently don't hear a syllable. Not power-hungry, Pisceans are mostly humble and modest about achievements. They are not interested in fame. If fortune comes their way, they'll accept it. But Pisceans usually don't go after glory.

Pisceans are very proud people. They are not cocky, nor do they go around boasting of their conquests and masterpieces. Pisceans are easygoing and seem to be made of butter. Ask them to move an inch left because they're blocking your view. Without a word, Pisces shifts to the left. Suggest a new way of eating snails with a shovel. Pisces is right up there in the front of the queue, raring to please and adjust to whatever is required. But dare to challenge Pisces's deepest beliefs, disagree with his sense of taste or the spiritual tenet by which he lives, and the fish may well turn into a shark before your rapidly blinking peepers. Pisceans have profound personal integrity.

It's not uncommon for Pisceans to suffer. First, they are easily hurt. Secondly, they are afflicted with overwhelming self-doubt. Worldly accomplishment is beyond Pisces because it requires a firm connection to hard reality, which Pisces would rather avoid. Tough and ruthless competitors disguised as friendly warmhearted colleagues or companions may hoodwink the earnest Piscean and leave him beside himself in a heap of disappointment and bafflement He doesn't handle tactics or strategics well. He wants to remain aloof so he can dream and imagine and let his mind wander.

You can be sure to find Pisceans wherever the water is. Pisceans love the soothing silence of water and will go to great lengths to plunge themselves into anything from a stream to an ocean, a bathtub or a Jacuzzi.

Pisceans take all emotional involvement seriously. Whether it's a love affair or a friendship, a child-parent relationship or some other family tie, you can be sure Pisces will nurture the link. The Pisces person loves unconditionally will alter viewpoints or swim willingly in the opposite direction just to please a loved one. If you are enamored of a Pisces, grab your snorkel and flippers and paddle after your fish to the ends of the sea.

Restrictions

Never ever try to impose any restrictions on me.

Because that, will always backfire.

It probably also means that I've been sensible for some time not to touch the tips of the iceberg, but no, everyone has to be childish from time to time. Today's was asking for it. I know I probably deserve it for asking the impossible, but I still tried.

But I don't care, I'm still pissed off. Retaliation would have resulted if I've continued on talking. So I chose to keep silent.

And on top of it, if Dillon Tan gives me another stunt again, then I'm n.e.v.e.r going for tuition ever again.

RAH. PMS.

Itchy throat

First, it was just a blocked nose as usual. Then, it became a running nose, and proceeded on to be a sore throat. After that, it became a blocked cum running nose, a itchy throat, cough, and has been there until now.

Wth!!!! ZZZZ. I want to breathe.
