a packed saturday

wa.. yesterday was a tiring day siah.. woke up from 7++am..

first rushed for the NTu talk.. attended the one about business and computer engineering/science. lol.. din attend the science nor the engineering w focus on science subjects de.. cuz i kinda think i've heard enough of those and it's time for me to widen my perspective to take into consideration other possible choices ba.. well, din really help me much too. =X

Anw, i din really think i needed a talk from official sources.. i need a talk from someone that's genuinely gonna tell us his/her opinion about the course and what's expected..

Anw, supp to meet the other relief teachers for lunch at Kenny Roger.. ended up i was too hungry, so joined the qi jie mei at KFC instead.. wow, been such a long time since i last ate KFC. nice siah! =)


the simplest and most insignificant things in life are things that gives you happiness..

later on got some twist and turns of events. but eventually we ate at kenny rogers. lolx. =P i was like there koping all their food cuz the rest can't finish.. lol..


Me with my chicken soup..

anw, main thing was the play "Dim Sum Dollies".. well.. it's a witty play which was kinda funny.. it did tickled me, but it wasn't that funny that it made me go crazy laughing. but overall it was rather good. Tho i might actually prefer something more solemn for a play. i mean, if u hav tears jerker.. and the ppl acting there r real, not something screened on the movie screen, then u'd really get touched rite? anw, it was rather political too.. haha.. in a very witty way =P

then later the few of us went to chill out with the sec 5s.. haha.. went to the war memorial to eat.. then later on, walked aimlessly at suntec. finally rooted ourselves at starbucks..

felt rather guilty.. cuz i dun really know them.. in fact, it's lik my first time really seeing them as a group.. so i din know what to talk to them about.. so i was very quiet and silent. and their style of doing things is different from what i usually do.. so i feel a bit out of place too.. i dunno if i'm too dao or something.. haix.. just hope that they're stil alright with me..

at the end of 1 day of walk.. my feet is like filled with blisters. and this is the scariest of all.. a purple lump found at my toe.. decided to poke it with a needle today to release the blood trapped inside.. =X

botak jones

lolx.. wad have i been doing for the past few days? i got this feeling that i gotta update for the past few days, but i end up forgetting what i wanted to say (or there's nothing to be said at all =P )..

anw.. been staying in sch till the very last moment cuz want to clear all the markings. now i know how teachers feel when they mark projects.. it's a good thing i'm working for my school.. cuz feels kinda good that i can help out in whatever i can..

but today after school i was kinda like so sian of marking that i wasn't really marking.. da bao home to mark lorx.. then the few of us headed down to botak jones for dinner.. (tho it wasn't my dinner) had cheese fries, which i doubt i'd ever eat it again. too cheesy and it's not those KFC kinda cheese. just not my type. =(

anw, i took many random photos, but lazy to update now.. shall do so another day.. i think i'm so gonna be well-known amongst the relief teacher for taking random photos siah..

the view of outside from my desk

my desk.. how un-neat.. haha..

Youth Olympiad

(written on 24th Feb)

forgot to mention about the Youth Olympiad results announcement.. haha..

Woa.. TMS dance was invited to perform at the padang.. =) and they appeared on the news the next day.. Lian He Zao Bao, frontpage.. the girls in green right in front! =)

and we teamed up with other schools to make some contribution towards the event too.. we had runners running from dunno wher to wher to pass the flame from one place to another.. so our students had ourselves spread out from Bedok south to bedok green to TMS.. and we were like waving to the runners as they passed by..

but it was kinda low.. haha.. cuz we were all excited by tat tots.. then when the runners passed by, it was a really small group lorx.. then we all were lik "huh? that's all".. and the place that i was in, the students were kinda calm, just watched them passed.. and i was like screaming "aiyo, you all dun wanna cheer meh?" then they started screaming.. haha.. but then.. i also nv cheer la.. -.- it was never my style to cheer.. i will just clap.. =P

Congrats to Singapore!!! was really happy when i heard the news.. perhaps because i did hav this smal little minor role of cheering on the runners in the afternoon bahx. =)

brief update

woa.. still busy.. so shall just blog briefly.. will add in details and upload photos some other days.. been reaching home at ard 7 for past few days.. =) 忙得快乐^_^

Anw.. today school got Chinese New Year lunch.. wa! yummy la the things. =) then later on got lou hei. ok, i seldom lou hei, so i tot it was a pretty interesting experience. haha.

haix. i haven found the time to watch latest episode of dou niu.. nvm, mayb next weekend i watch everything at one go. =)



Sunday, February 17, 2008 @ 7:16 PM
Weekend

haix.. i seemed to be wasting my weekends away..

sat woke up late.. around 11+.. then read a bit of the Budget.. haha.. been trained to read on it for the past 2 years, so guess now it has become a habit.. then remaining of the time catching up on my jiu dian feng yun.. and 不知不觉 7pm le.. = my series of shows started le.. but i wasn't really watching also.. haha.. chingay was on the tv, but i was marking the projects, rather than really watching it.. well, finished marking at around 12.. =) cleared about 8 projects.. together with wad i hav done in sch on Fri, i think i cleared a quarter of it.. ^^

well.. today woke up quite early.. 9+ then read the book i borrowed "Beautiful Lies". It's quite a nice read and the plots get really twisted along the way. but i felt that the ending didn't really do justice to the entire story. there was a gap left in the story on purpose, which kinda gave me the feeling that the writer didn't know how to go about showing that information.. anw, here's just a summary of the plot..



"Ridley grew up just like any other typical New Yorker. She had loving parents, a brother Ace, a childhood friend, Zack (her ex bf too), and a Uncle Max that cared alot for her. Her life seemed to be that of a typical youth until she recieved a mail suggesting that her background wasn't exactly waht she tot of it to be. Her life came crashing down on her, for everything that she had trusted in, things that she had took for granted seemed to be just like a beautiful lie to her. There was nothing she could trust, everything looked like a facade. Her only hope was probably Jake, her new neighbour and her lover. Together they tried to unravel the mystery of her identity. But.. Soon Ridley realised that Jake had many secrets too, and he told too many a lies. She was practically left alone to face the world, the world that she wasn't quite sure she could put herself in..


The man who had supposedly sent the mail to her turned out to be her real father. but when she met up with him, he was shot in the head. More and more deaths occured along the way, and Ridley was one of the target too. Soon, the truth was to be revealed. It all started with her Uncle Max. He was the founder of "Project Rescue", which had two facet. One was to allow mothers whom were not ready for motherhood to put their child up for adoption - annomously. Another was a less appealing, less legal option, that is, clinics will flag down children whom r tot to be victims of abuse, and the underworld will kidnap them and sell these children to wealthy families. It seemed like a noble idea, but the execution was less glam and things starts to go terribly wrong, with the first incident being the killing of Ridley's biological mother..

Soon.. it can be seen that Jake was sincerely on the side of Ridley for he had lied previously to find out his identity too. He was on the same project as Ridley. They were all the Project Rescue babies. at least that was what they thought. But Jake was never abused, he was loved by his mother. He had been separated from his mother just because of the organisation that tries to play god. As for Ridley, she wasn't really a Project Rescue baby. in fact, she was Uncle Max's child. Uncle max has left her in the care of her current parents because he knew that he could never truly care for her due to his shattered childhood. "

the thing was, the writer never accounted for how exactly did Ridley's biological mother died. she did mention about this in the end, commented that she had died. but she left this question hanging there.. oh wells..

ANw, yay! i finished reading the 4 books i borrowed^^ wee~ the other 2 were about the mind..



Friday, February 15, 2008 @ 8:49 PM

Woa.. haven been updatin for like 4 days? =( haha.. i shall fill in the details now in chronological orders.. been busy for the past few days.. i'm lik so gonna sleep early today!! =P

marking and more marking

(Written on 16th Feb)

woa~ today stayed in school till about 6.30++ haha.. been trying to mark projects.. but from 1 till 6.30, i only managed to mark 6 projects.. sobs.. so slow of me.. haha..

so i brought back 7 to mark.. in case i cannot finish marking in school next week.. =P well.. apparently.. i haven started on any yet.. =X

but i quite like this feeling of "having work to do".. well, this might sound strange.. but i like to hav the feeling that "i have something on my hands", "i have some deadlines to meet".. it makes me feel useful and helps to verify my very existence.. haha.. given a choice between having to do something than to do nothing, i'd choose the former.. =)

haix.. fell asleep at 9+ and woke up at 11.. just in time to realise that jiu dian feng yun has ended.. so i hav to catch up 3 eps online.. =P haha.. currently watching it now. =)

Happy V Day

(written on 16th Feb)

happy valentine's day!

the atmosphere in school was slightly different from usual.. ppl got excited and you c flowers all around the place.. haha.. intially all of the relief teachers were thinking of watchign PS i love you after work.. but later on, one by one, they had their own matters.. haha..

during my break, i saw one of my sec 4 class doing PE. when they were resting, i just went over to chit chat a bit with them.. gave the class two boxes of chocs.. this is really a nice, cool, funny and friendly class.. i rmb they were the first class i entered for sec 4 ss.. and they really made me feel welcomed.. and i was trying to dig up scandals and secrets in the class.. haha.. well.. i ended up digging up things i nv knew about my teachers.. lolx.. even tho some info were kinda wrong.. haha.. anw, this class really rox manx.. it's the kind of dream class that i'd lik to hav.. and all the teachers whom i met all agreed that this is really a nice class.. ^^

had 3 other lessons today.. with 2 other sec 4 classes. it was kinda dead cuz i wasn't doing teaching.. actually when i do relief, i prefer to teach.. next is to giv work. lastly is, there's nothing to do.. cuz when u teach, they giv u the max attention (not full, but at least there's order in the class) well, at the end of the lesson, i distributed sweets to them.. haha.. it did the trick, they got more hyper and happy.. =) it's nice to see smiles on students' faces for the right reasons.. my last class was sec 1s.. and i finally managed to find a way to control sec 1s.. "whoever's gonna tok, i'm gonna right ur names down, and you shall sing for the class. 3, 2, 1.." and u'd get ur silence.. -_-" din prepare anything for them, since i din know i was gg into the class anwx.



and yes.. the big plan.. we "camped" at the playroom again, trying to mass-manufacture the final product of the flowers. = curl all the flowers + add stalk + add leaves.. luckily we did make it on time after all.. dist to the teachers. shld look at their reactions upon receivin the flowers. they sounded so appreciative.. =) our efforts paid off ^^ actualy i din find it a chore doing the flowers for them. after all, they were my teachers.. haha.. some even said that it looked lik real flowers and it certainly would last longer.. ^^

we ordered pasta mania for lunch and chilled out at the playroom till ard 4.. then me and another 2 other relief teacher n admin person decided to go tampines to chill it out after 5.. haha.. walked around aimlessly.. finally rooted ourselves at swensens.. had 3 scoops of icecreams + 2 toppings. haha. and we chatted on until 8+.. ^^

my vongole! =)

who finished the ice-cream??

the three of us =P

Preparation for valentine's day

(Written on 15th Feb 2008)



Woa.. today's the last day for our big plan.. 6 of us (relief teachers) decided to make roses for all teachers in TMS. yay! haha.. so we stayed behind and camped in the Playroom to make the final dash..


but.. oh wells.. apparently, our dash wasn't really successful.. made like 20+ roses only? =( but the rest were semi-finished = haven curled + added stalks.. haha.. mayb cuz we weren't working full force too..


anw.. since i always feel so free, i took the remaining uncurled roses home to curl + add stalks.. and actually when i reached home, i realised i wasn't that free after all.. cuz i wanted to get something for my classes (well, not exactly my class but ya.. know them lorx.. ) and the relief teachers.. so i shopped around the neighbourhood until 9.30? (ya.. nothing much to shop.. ) then i realised.. oh no! there's no time for me to make the roses.. =( haha..


so din watch my shows.. just went on curling and adding stalks to the roses. did til like 12.30, which is supp to be early for many, but not for me on working days.. haha.. until i eventually decided it was enough for me. i think i'm so gonna get phobia of roses after this. lolx. did around 50, and there was 19 more roses to go.. gotta chiong in sch tomolo..



Manyz flowerz..



the final product thus far (without the leaf yet)

first day of post-CNY work

“有时候我会沉默 拼命闪躲
天空辽阔我却没了寄托
想要 回忆里所承诺的美好
我想逃 我害怕被狂沙吞噬掉
再也找不回 从前微笑”
-- (extracted) SPOP 沙漠 sung by 陈迪雅

wa.. dunno why my eyes recently so painful.. as in not really say unbearable pain, but it just irritates me.. haha..

Anw, first day of post-CNY work.. felt that things din really go well.. dunno y i felt so dao today.. when the few of us gathered at the Balcony, i din talk much.. =( but then again, no point joining in for the sake of joining in, if i really hav nothign to say isn't it? toking when i really want to talk, about things i want to talk about; only then will the talking makes sense and be meaningful.. but the thing is most of the time i dun really hav this "talking feeling".. nvm, wad m i toking about?? lolx..

Anw, just a sudden thought.. i think i begin to see why adult world is more complicated than a children's or teenage's world.. there are so many restrictions that you can't even be yourself anymore and be true to what you feel.. wad do i mean? hmmmx.. you'd know one day.. i'd know one day.. till then, enjoy life to the max first..


feeling random.. so mimicked the frog.. -_-" lol

videos

lolx. before i forget.. did i mention this? but anw.. Fri got this Taiwan 跨年 show.. and 星光帮 supp to be performing in it.. and i was watching it from my grandma's hse.. and 2hrs+ have already passed.. and when stanly finally appeared, by some stroke of "luck", my uncle went to the living room, sat down and decided to switch channel.. '=( sob sob..

but fortunately.. some weeks back, i was doing random search of stanly and i already posted this video on my blog le.. so can stil go back and watch.. *phew* i'm glad i wasn't lazy or somethin the other time..

wahaha.. like before.. i'm gonna say again.. stanly's 飚高音 at the back very good.. tho in front he wasn't stable in his singing.. =)


Xiao Zhu's live singing wasn't as bad as i tot.. in fact, it's nice.. =)


Peter Pan's the 2nd person. i think he's oppo of stanly. he started off well, but ended in a off-track pattern.. =( anw.. xin's the next person.. powerful vocal manx.. but the song is.. -_-"

Class 01/06 CNY outing

today had class outing! about half the class turned up.. haha..

first off we headed to (hmmm.. wher ah?) to hav sushi buffet at suki sushi.. a few of us went al carte..

the al carte table..



qh's dish.. some salmon don.. (all raw =X )my dish.. like a combo of almost everyhting.. so it's sorta like a mini buffet =P and it's quite nice. got potato salad, eel, some chicken thingy, sotong, the ball ball thing (wad's it called again? takoyaki? ), prawn and mushroom.. =P

P.S in addition, i tried to eat raw salmon with lotsa wasabi and the choking effect was real great. haha..

not forgetting.. it's the wan sister's birthday.. lol.. happy birthday!! =) we bought brownies for them.. the brownie was really rich with choc and sweet and all.. but it does gets a bit too sweet towards the end.. luckily i got my green tea with me =P




haha.. then as usual, we went on random shopping spree.. but sometimes it's good to just walk around randomly.. after all, that's when u get the free time to catch up with your friends.. haha.. and recently there seem to be real scandals spreading around.. the thing is.. either i dunno who r the ppl invovled.. or in cases that i do, i dunno the details of wad's gg on.. haha.. Fill me in someone!

oh! and we held this singing "tutorial" class for qh.. lol. about the song "yu gan". we were drilling about the phrase with "gan hah ah ah" (hmmmx.. ) anw, seems like i can stil sing abit.. tho my high voice cannot be reached after loss of voice the other time.. i got this bad feeling it'd take forever to recover if it is recovering.. =( and much more easier to zou yin cuz quite diff to control voice le =(




@ 12:03 AM
Chen Lao Shi CNY visit

yest (Chu 2) went to chen lao shi's house =) yay!! can meet up with old friends.. ^^

met up with familiar faces eg. sj, hc, xyn, cw.. (cuz all from tj =P ) and also faces that I've not seen for a long time, eg. bin fang, shin rong, xy and benchow (3 yrs le i think).. but.. we actually forgot to take a group photo.. *sobs* nvm ba.. some other days.. next yr? o.o

when we stepped into her house, chen lao shi got so excited about her chigugu (er.. chimalu? chikumaku?chiwangwang? wad's the name?!?) aka big mouse. LOL! and told us story about her pets and brought us to see them. (in fact not just us.. she appeared to be organising "tours" to bring guests up to see her pride.. =) ) they were quite cute, esp the white one.. (actually i only really saw 2.. the black and white one aka charcoal and snowy =P ) looked a bit like rabbit.. and when she was telling her story, all the while i tot they were dogs.. -_-" haha..

then we came down and invaded the table for the length of the time we were there.. snacked on the CNY goodies.. liked the prawn roll the most.. kept eating it =P
and there was this wasabi nuts that most found quite unbearable.. so we decided to play zhong ji mi ma.. (*tssk* i suggested this game cuz i'm not scared of the wasabi =P ) there were times when we weren't doing anything much.. so i just acted random by taking random photos.. hee..
then we all chatted quite a bit.. and it was really nice catching up with old friends.. somehow in ur life there wil be ppl whom u will feel comfortable with despite not seeing each other for along time, and ppl whom u'd just feel out of place with despite seeing each other every other days..

we left at around 1+.. that was when we realised we forgot to take group photos.. and hence we decided to take some impromptu photos on the bus.. =P


the one more seenable photo..

Most photos looked liek this..

so i decided to make some changes to them.. =P




Thursday, February 07, 2008 @ 11:53 PM
Chu 1 visit

oh my!! so exciting.. i found "jiu dian feng yun" online.. yay! meaning i can catch up with the show.. usually i'd accidentally fall asleep.. too tired le.. haha.. and today i missed it cuz came home too late.. wee~

Anw, Chu 1.. so went to my uncle's house to bai nian. Hmm.. dunno y, whenever i'm with my relatives, i just feel so distant from them.. and i dun even talk much.. i think i must really try my best to open up more.. at least can hav small little conversation with them when the need arise.. rather than being so scared of even saying hi to them..

Dinner was great. there was alot of food. wide variety.. but sad thing.. there was one dish of pork.. which was used for the BBQ.. so i din dare to BBQ any of my food.. ate straight from the hotpot.. haha.. and managed to get veg, sausage and those standard food most of the time.. well, the sight of those food makes me happy enough, even tho i din get to eat most of them. =P

(well my tone sounds rather upbeat.. haha.. cuz too excited by the jiu dian feng yun thing.. =P)

the irony of life.. CNY is such a 热闹 event, but 街道却是异常的冷漠。。。



@ 2:11 PM

TMS CNY

suddenly got this urge to go back to TMS and take a few shots of its CNY decoration..

they shld be having their celebration now ba.. haix.. feel a bit guilty sitting right here blogging about this rather than being there with the school..

sob sob.. was hoping that can jio some old friends to go back to TMS with me.. but their workplace's halfday is like too late le lorx.. =( was hoping that i can resume the identity as an ex-TMSian and go and ka jiao the teachers or do something stupid in the school.. like taking photo every sec, screaming and shouting (ok la not so extreme), or laughing like crazy..

rather than as RT.. since there's a certain "image" to be upheld.. a bit suppressive.. sometimes i really feel like having a small little chat with the teachers.. but i dunno if it's appropriate.. seeing them so busy with thigns like admin stuff, student's welfare, exam preparation, lessons preparation, i really feel like i shouldn't go and disturb them.. but i guess this results in me appearing to be very cold towards them.. i dunno.. i just feel that i'm like distancing myself too much from the teachers whom once taught me.. haix..

i guess my fears are coming true soon.. slowly and gradually, we'd stop gg back to TMS.. including me.. as we grow up, we're bogged down by more and more things.. rather than as student, we can always gather into groups after sch and go back to TMS. but now, it's work and it's getting more and more diff to excuse onself from work.. it's little wonder y we dun c adults gg back to sch to visit teachers le.. tat's the truth of reality; reality of life..

Anw.. a chance for gathering.. there'd be a homecoming dinner for 2000-2007 batch of students this year.. it's on 25th May.. =) shld be at nite i think.. do leave behind ur names or let me know somehow if you wanna go.. pls do come.. cld be one of our last gathering with TMS at TMS le..

there are some things we must lose; that we must let go, regardless of what we feel.. 人生就是如此。。

Beautiful Lines

it's nice to see shows that hav short little lines that tugs you at ur heart..

The magical needles
What we need is everlasting trueness. what matters most is that we are true to ourselves and others..

Bull Fighting
As we grow up, there can be many "no"s in our lives; of how things are never like before. but these are the very things that makes us grow up..
人长大了,就会有越来越多的没有,有越来越多没有可以办到的事。
长大后,也有越来越多没办法回应的话。
长大后,有越来越多没有人照顾的时候。
人长大后, 真的有好多的没有。
但是让人长大的, 也是这些没有。

tired and sleepy

woa.. dunno wad's wrong with me today.. so sleepy siah..

slept at around 11 yest nite. but this morning woke up to be very sleepy. and my eyes were swollen and painful =( perhaps due to my rubbing of my eyes last nite before i slept. felt like a layer of the eye was peeling off.. =(

in the GO, the temp clerks could see that i was really tired.. haha.. and the thing is, i didn't do anything much during the weekends.. just went to shop shop like usual..

anw, today's work was quite ok.. a bit of admin here and there.. a little bit of classroom time.. oh and i realise that i'm on my road to overcoming fear of calling ppl.. hmm.. calling ppl whom i'm familiar with is no prob. and after today, i realise i'm ok with calling ppl whom i completely not know, esp if i dun need to mention my name.. the worst category is ppl who know who i am, yet we're not really that close.. =X

oh! and i'm free on wed! haha. cuz no lessons = not paid.. but anw, i want to go back to TMS to visit the teachers.. LOL! sounds weird rite? haha.. anw.. anyone's going to visit teachers on Wed?

Who Moved my Cheese?

ah.. i began reading (and finished) the first book i borrowed yest.. Who Moved my Cheese?

It's about coping with changes.. haha.. quite cute la the story.. it's about 2 mice, "Sniffy", "Scuffy", and 2 littlepeople "Hem"and "Haw" and how they move about the maze in search of their cheese.. and the maze = the environment we r in. the cheese being the final goal that we wanna achieve. as expected, the 4 char have different personality; the first two being simple-minded, Hem being resistant towards changes and Haw being adaptive and postive towards changes..

Although the book claims that it's up to us to interpret the content, i can see the book driving us towards one direction which dictates that we should all be brave and face up to changes.. haha.. but anw, as i slowly think over it, i din really accept this msg. Rather i saw other things, that's more negative, coming from the book..

it's kinda easy to say how we should move on with our life, adapt to changes, take things in our strides, let go of the past etc. but all that being said, it's a difficult thing to carry out in action. and the torturous part is not about the need to change. but the very fact that one recognises this need and fully understands why there is such a need, yet being unwilling and powerless to step out of one's comfort zone.

anw, throughout the story, it showed how simple minds might be best for changes. and how humans are equipped with emotions that tends to complicate matters further. how we can achieve our goals, be happy and glad about it, indulge ourselves in it, become overly-complacent, and eventually lose what we have. and how we have to slowly find the courage to press on until we find our new cheese again. there are many fears and uncertainties; but we hav to face them bravely for the bigger picture. eventually, it is the pursuit of the goal that gives us the greatest drive, not the final goal in itself.

rather than changing because of the book, it is more important to change when you truly feel the need to do so..

Outing with CC

wahaha.. went to bugis with CC today.. been such a long time since we last met =)

haha.. and so qiao, we were on the same train.. haha.. went to bugis foodcourt to hav lunch.. i had pepperlunch for lunch. =P Their teriyaki chicken with egg set is not bad. just that i din like the chicken -_-" = give me rice and sauce is enough.. LOL!
as we ate, we chatted a bit on what's up man.. (aka updates on our lives) seems like there's ups and downs in our lives.. after lunch, we took photos at the "linker region".. and it's kinda funny how ppl will stop for us to finish taking the photos.. haha.. cuz actually whether they walked across or not, it wouldn't show in the picture anyway! haha! but it was quite considerate of them too.. =)


Then we went down to bugis street to shop.. wa!!! it was so crowded la!!! we were practically pushed along with the crowd.. =X and it took 2 traffic lights to cross the road la! i was so sian that i din even hav the mood nor energy to look at the clothes etc. =X towards the end, i was feeling very giddy from all the lack of oxygen that i had to hold onto things to make sure i dun fall down.. LOL!


bought a watch.. quite nice. =) din get to buy clothes, bags, necklace and shoes tho.. =( today going bedok to make the final shopping spree.. =) wonder how useful would that be.. =X

then and now

was just reading thru some of my first few post dated 4 yrs back.. the tone was one of upbeat and filled with vibrancy.. i even had this say of the day and quotes, which always seemed so hopeful and optimistic.. not to forget, my posts were so lame.. haha.. come to think of it, i have already lost my "lame" touch already.. when was the last time someone called me "lame"?

some joys of life comes from the stupidest thing you can ever find..

wad's the tone of my recent post now? i dunno.. all i know is that there's a sharp contrast between then and now.. but i dunno the difference.. maybe 4 years later when i look back, i'd be able to tell what's my tone now..

changes might occur gradually; but definitely.. the slow and slight erosion takes on a definite form with time..

A day's work

attempted to teach a maths class today.. about R formula. something that i gave myself crash course on in the morning when i went to sch and borrowed the textbook from a teacher. lolx. the attempt was quite a flop. i knew what i was teaching; but the students already knew the stuff that i was teaching = i had done something redundant.. haha.. =x so just let them so some self-study.. hope they're not mad at me or something. tho i dun think they are ba, cuz some of them came forward to ask me qn on how to do e qn. =)

or mayb i shouldn't hav "sneaked" into their class secretly to teach. haha. mayb shld hav asked for permission officially so that i can get the maths department's shedule on what they're supp to learn. otherwise i also dunno wad i'm supp to teach. haha. but anwx, it's over. but they might call me back to relief them again. on topics that.. hmm.. i haven studied before either in sec sch/jc.. =( haha.. another crash course some other days. =P

Anw.. today got free staff lunch.. to thank teachers for working hard for the good "o"-levels results. actually i nv tot i could hav a share in eating those things too, since i din contribute to the O-level thingy. but since a group of us decided we shall just go and eat, hence i got to enjoy the good food. =) the food was simple fare, but really nice. all done by Auntie Shirley (who picked up more culinery skills). and the desert was super nice la! both in terms of visual impact and the taste. =)

photo of the state of the food when i'm halfway thru. i took the most amongst the rest.. *oops* whilst they were full from taking quite little, i was stil hungry after taking the most.. *oops oops*


dessert!! i took the blueberry "cheesecake" one.. nice nice! yum! ^^

Yeah.. the one which has been eaten already is mine.. =X oops.. too excited to start on my dessert you c.. =P

Anw, after lunch went to playroom to slack with other RTs. played pool.. haha.. i was so new and bad at it. i do watch ppl play but seldom do i play. =X i wanted to try breaking. in the end, all i did was to do a jump ball, over the balls in that triangle formation, out of the table, onto the floor, where it made a big loud thump sound. LOL =X how embarrassing.. then the rest had to take turns in giving me tutorials. =X haha.. feel so bad slowing down the game.. haix.. haha..
