Wonderful Christmas Spent

First, a story to tell....

On thursday morning, i am sitting on a seat in the bus near the door where all the passengers board the bus. I am holding my big umbrella (due to rainy days), and i am sitting near the metal pole.Upon the next stop,a 40plus guy sat board the bus and sat down beside me. He has very ragged cloths on and he is holding his handphone. As our seats are close together, i can see easily what is in his handphone. I am shocked to see pictures of women in the bus on his handphone.

"Oh God. This guy is a pervert and he is out to take pictures of women who wear sexily or have nice figure!"

Upon the next bus stop, the passengers start to board the bus. This guy started to take photographs of the women that stand near him and he aim underneath their skirts, he do it secretly so that no one noticed. But i can see everything as i am close to him. I am at first, shocked to see his behaviour. He will get ready his camera upon each bus stop when passengers alight and then view his gallery to delete those unsatisfying pictures. When he is going to snap again on the next bus stop, i start banging my umbrella against the metal pole and he quickly hide his phone and look at me, but i act blur and look straight. Then, i noticed his acts still continued. I am feeling deep frustartions inside me and i started to tilt my body towards him and stare at his phone he is holding. He turned and looked at me and i continued to look at his handphone. He raised his head and look at me again and i look at him and then down at his handphone. He started to get impatient and start to fidget a bit. I managed to stop his acts a bit by staring at him but i did not confront him which i regreted! Next time when i spot any PERVERTS out there again, i will make sure i will look them straight in the eye and say "What do you think you are doing?" DAMN THESE MEN!

Down to Fun things!
Yesterday,went down to jessie's christmas party at her house and it was fun! First, we have a Kenny roger's "tabao" dinner and everyone are still not quite at ease as some are still strangers. A lot of new comers! Jessie and Kenneth, the owners of the house thus the host, are absolutely friendly people and thus, they always bring along new friends. Therefore, everyone start to mingle in the party. After the dinner, we have some games together and this is where the fun and laughther starts! As all of you know, Carole Yeo is a typical blur lady. And game we played is "007 Bang" and the person who did not respond in time get to drink a cup of water. I get to drink up to 5 cups of water and Weinan up to 5 cups. Two of us are damn unlucky! And Weinan is a hell of a funny guy! I laughed hilariously beside him.

Then, we continued to the SILENT game of police and thief and it is already 2am! Poor me, in my contact lens, still need to stare and look and blink at the people beside me. As everyone knows, in this game, teh murderer got to blink to kill the victim and a detective will got to catch the murderer before everyone die. We flashed out the detective first so that the murderer will faced more pressure and it is more fun!Kenneth is the smart killer as he can disturb the detective (me) at the same time killing all the victims! DAMN HIM!

Meredith is a fierce killer and a smart mind game player too. For me, i only managed to be a murderer for two times and it is not FUN for me! :(

We ended our "school day" party till 4am but it is great christams eve celebration!! :) Looking forward ro my chalet on 30th with jieying and the rest. And on 31 - 2jan i will be straight off heading to KL. Woo Hoo!

Bothered..

Being friends are not easy, especially good friends. Sometimes, i may be busy, i may be insensitive, i may be selfish, i may be too engrossed in my own thoughts but it doesn't means i don't care. I do have a lot of friends to spread my time with, sometimes i may not share my time equally with each and every one but i treasure each and everyone. Each buddy of mine is special and unique in their own way. My relationship with one may have turn sour but she is still important to me with her special reason.

Recently, one more, one more of my soulmate has change her attitude towards me. She is very cold and blunt towards me and say i do not have time for her. My only regret is that she do not even let me have a chance to change and make up to her. We used to be so close, and she made a huge difference to me and my life.

Sometimes, not only lovers break your heart, friends can break it too.

FiNally thE dAy hAs ComE!!!!!

Finally, it is the last day of me, going bonkers over book! I have been trying hard to concentrate with my sisters watching television straight in front of me.Hee Hee! Gosh man, isn't it hard to concentrate with all the sounds of television and talking around you. While i am blogging now, i seems to feel that contents of what i have studied have falled out. My brain just feel shagged. I hope i can squeeze out what i have learnt, understand and write tommorrow!!! HA LE LU YA!!!

Saw May's entry of Zouk Out! It was so fun and happening but too bad i got to stay at home and read the books. :(

Ok, some updates of the pictures of fiona's birthday celebration


Can you imagine, it is already 2 or 3am plus when we take this picture!!!


Went for bowling after Little Bali...fiona and peiling in action.


Miss Fiona and me. Gosh, look at the short fringe my mum cuts! :P


Loving Luan and Andrew!

Study Study Study

My exam falls on December the 11th and i am so stressed up now!!! So stressed up that my monthly affairs happened earlier too!! Ha Ha Ha! (if you girls know what i mean). There are so many chapters to digest and memorise on. There are so many events lined up after the tail of my examination too! Friends have started to book me for christmas celebration or outings. Sometimes, halfway during my study, i will start to think how good it is if i am now enjoying myself. BUT i know that i must chuck all thoughts aside and sink myself in the books.

Now my brain is full of Maria Montessori terms such as environment, absorbent mind, sensitive periods, horme, conscious and unconscious mind, development of will, nature laws...woo.....lots and lots of term to remember!!!

Last saturday, i have a wonderful time pulling a surprise for fiona with my 2 ideal parthners, terence and luan. Three of 3 went into a secret mission to appear in an outing with a cake for her birthday celebration. And she is not aware that we are celebrating her birthday. So we have our dinner and get the cake and reach little bali at around 10 to surprise her. She was so taken back that she cried a bit. And after that, we have a drink and talking session at little bali and went on to bowling. Reach home at around 5am in the morning!!! Have taken a lot of pictures but is again, with fiona.. That is the bad thing of not owning a camera heh!

Tommorrow,i am going to fort road Brighton for my academic briefing and it is till 3pm! There goes my time for study again! :(

New arrangements for 2007!

The year 2006 has passed and it is a year of change, hope and improvement. It has paid off well as in year 2007, i am stepping up a new level and awaiting to learn more things.

Montessori is more of a teaching method and i am glad that i will be teaching more in year 2007. I have been appointed to teach in K1 in the morning session and N2 in the afternoon session. That simply means no more toilet training, no more changing of diaper, no more making of milk, no more pulling and packing of mattress and patting the young ones to sleep, less of wiping ass, less of washing up hopefully, and less of endless chasing sessions of kids! Noticed that i have roughly sum up teh duties of a nanny? Ha Ha Ha, and that is me!!

More of academic means more of serious montessori teaching to do. And also more of children's conflicts to handle as they are more vocal in this level. No more physcially tire out but is mentally tire out this time. No more kiddish voice and easily satisfied kids just by singing songs and nursery rhymes. Pros and Cons yeah!

December is also a busy month for me. I have been busy scheduling my calendar AFTER MY EXAM as i have lots of lots and lots of exciting programs for me!! ;) Eg. Xmas party with friends, xmas party with boss and colleagues, xmas chalet, year end tour, leisure outing at a club. Woo Woo....i love being so busy and occupied with fun events and people! *shake my bom bom*

Concert is over!!! YeaH!!!

Yesterday, i have taken a huge load off my shoulder! When my friends are enjoying the concert, i am busy behind the stage managing my students. Luckily, the waiting time for the performance is not very long so my students did not ended up too restless. Although a few of them keep going in the toilet and touch the rubbish bin (cause there is a toilet inside our dressing room). A student kept crying and some of the teachers are busy pacifying her as her cries are very loud. A loud of stress and sweat behind the screens!

When finally the stage manager call my group to standby, i am so nervous as i am scared that i could not find the correct way out to the audience seat to prompt the children. I quickly lead my students (behind the curtain) to their position and rush off to find the way out. Stupidly, the exit is taped by masking tape!! I quickly just tear them apart and find the stairs down. While i am prompting the children, my boss turned around and "warn" me two times that i pointed my fingers too high up and i might block the people that are filming behind. My students danced better when they are in the class. Perhaps when the curtain are open and they see such a huge group of people, they feel shocked. But anyway, they still did a good job! :) Proud of my darlings! :)

After all my duties are done, i went to join my friends upstairs to see the performance. The supporters i have with me are Phyllis and her boy, Huiling,May and Terence. Shuyun could not make in at the last minute as she is still down with chicken pox virus. But am still glad that they come and support me! May is so nice to record down the video of my students and it is on her blog. (Please clcik on may on my side navigation)

My name tag


Me and my supporters!!! HA HA!




I am real glad that we can go back to the normal academic routine now..No more devilish training from me!! Yes, all the teachers comment that i am a devil trainer!! Ha Ha!

I need to SLEEP~

After you read how i spent my weekends, you must be amazed at how i can be so awake now!!

On friday,went to take my last practical test (YEAHOO!)at MMI and meet huiling and her friend for a tarot card session. It was fun as we meet up for a cozy talk at teahouse near tanjong pagar.It was fun seeing how the cards are read.After that, i call up ying and she call me to join her friends which i rush over to clarke quay and it is already 10plus. She was with a big group of friends and they are having real funny and "strictly-for-leisure" topics. All i do is laugh along as the guys were being badly interrogated by a series of unconstructive questions. One of the girls actualy ask the guys to say out their opinion of everyone of us and i find this quite dumb. Their answer for mine is "Look quiet but actually can talk". We end our session at about 1 plus to 2 am and after that, me, ying and ling continue on for our chatting session. We went to sit near MOS and 2 separate guys approach our tables with rude attitudes. They just sit down and want us to talk with them. Both are foreigners. We just ignore and continue our chat. When it is about 4am plus, we headed off to MacDonalds and had our breakfast. After that, we take the first train home.

After i settled down to sleep, it is already 8am and i need to wake up at 1pm to go MMI again to submit my exam results. So i just have less than 4 hours sleep as i am contsantly disturbed by calls. Left home at about 3 plus pm and meet Ying and her group of friends at 5pm plus for a crab feast. It was at Still Road and their crabs are fanstatic! Delicious! Finger licking good!! Yum Yum! 15 people squeezed into 3 cars and we headed off to PartyWorld for a mad KTV session till 11.30pm. When i am ready to sleep, it is already 1 am and i need to wake up later again at 6.30am!!!!

Off to melissa's prison officer family day!!! Reach Pagawan Beach at Sentosa at 9 plus am and saw her squad mates.They are a friendly bunch of people!! After standing under the hot sun, make our way to Bishan to meet ying's gang again to celebrate Melissa's birthday. At a funny chat with the girls plus ALWAYS SHY jimmy chow and finally at 8pm, i reached home and REST!!!!!!

Very Tired Now. A tired girl is a blur girl. I wish i can sleep for 1 whole day. It is busy but i get to know a lot of friendly people! My student's concert is coming soon, is at 18 Nov! May,Shuyun and Phyllis, please get ready your camera to shoot the cute children. See ya there! ;)

Bussyy Buzzyyy

Have an eventful saturday when i wake up around 10am in the morning to get ready for my nephew, Benjamin's violin concert. My primary 2 nephew has indeed grow very tall! Look at the boy beside him,he is primary four and yet he is shorter than ben. Or should i say that ah ben is tall? Hee Hee!



He is quite nervous over the concert and when it is his turn, he has a sad face on when playing the tune. Very cute! Nevetheless, he has done a good job with his parthner and they pull up a nice performance.





After crowding around the squeezy place (only 2 pathetic rows of bench for a concert where there are more than 50 people around!), my mother and i get back home. I started to change and get ready to set off to jessie's housewarming party! It was fun and we fill up our tummy with cakes when celebrating angie and meredith's birthday too.







After that, we join their suvec car gang and went offroad with them. As there are more than enough cars, we girls each took a car to enjoy this experience. My new friend cum "driver" is a nice and friendly malay guy. As his car has four wheels all moving, our car did not get stuck in the sand at all. It was a BUmmmPPPy yet fun experience! They are going to a more exciting offroad trip this coming saturday but sadly, i cannot join. :(

Joyce (Jessie's friend)get me a birthday present while she and her boyfriend went off for a vacation. It is real nice of her but her gift is..............



She bought it as when she look at it, she say "Oh, it remind me of someone!". Her boyfriend reply "Carole!" "Yeah!" she laughed and agreed too. And so, she bought this doll for me as my birthday gift. SAD SIA!!! Sob Sob!!! WHy could such an ugly doll resembles me? But it was cute looking and funny!

Reach home around 2pm plus and is real tired now! *streTch* but it was fun!

It's time to be ... 27!!

Latest updates of my birthday celebration and that is PHOTOS!!! Spent my actual day with my secondary and primary school kakis and we went to tearoom at esplanade and pastamania at funan.



















Just watch this on youtube and it is very funny!!! Do go and take a look too!! Copy and paste the url...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F8MKd5c_2o

I miss her! Lousy Sunday.....

I am missing my darling bambi terribly! It is just the third day without her and i am not getting used to it at all. She is obviously still waiting for us to fetch her home as Ah may jie jie says she will still sit by the door. :( How i wish i can fetch her back with us as life without her is so out of place. No more doggy following me around, i cannot carry and play with her anymore and no more special welcoming when i reached home. It is just that special bit that cannot be replaced. And i really am missing her badly. It is a sunday and it is more boring without her.

Just now, Liusi's little yiling come n visited us and she keep crying when she see me. Guess i am too fierce with her and she is very scared of me now. Even a touch from me, she will scrow and start to cry. Oh god,i wonder when will she get used to us.

And i am still coughing. No doubt about it. I am getting fedup about it. Ultimately, i will go to see chinese doctor. Ultimately, my childcare job is very tiring for me to recover fully. Not feeling good at all without Bambi around. Just feel like complaining.

Advanced Birthday celebrationS

I've been receiving birthday celebrations one week before my actual birthday. On Friday, went to Jessie's house and she, her husband,geraldine and angie celebrate for me. It is a short but nice one.

Today is a unlucky day for me but it ended up with pleasant blessings! We the blogger girls, initially planned a wonderdul outing together. Unluckily,i fall sick and could not join in the fun. Jasmine asked me for my address and i "warned" the girls not to come my house as i do not want to spread the virus to them. When i am about to lay on my bed for my 2nd round of sleep, i heard noises at my door. My mother is asking someone who she is looking for. I quickly climb up out of my bed and was so surprised to find jasmine holding a PRETTY cake with the rest of the gang (may,shuyun,phyllis,yenping)standing beside her. While i am struggling on which key to open the door, the girls start singing me a birthday song. Real touched!! I quickly invite them in my house and we sat down to cut the birthday cake and settle for more hearty chat. The cake that Jasmine bake sure look and taste good! We took some pictures but it is not with me, got to check out May's blog for that. You will see carole in her run-down home clothes while the rest of the girls are prettily dressed up! What a contrast!

Felt real guilty that i could not bring the girls to Union Square and have fun. Next time ok my darlings!! And i will always remember the surprise you girls gave me! :)

Still, we got to part..

No matter how much you love somebody, u got to part with he/she/it one day. Why did i add "it"? Because today issue is with Bambi. Due to my niece, Bambi is decided to be put away in my sister's friend's house for as long as two years. Or should i say till Liusi and KK accept that dogs and small children can be together. As Bambi's fur is always dropping, it has become an issue for Liusi bringing her beloved daughter over. Of course i cannot blame Liusi for not allowing her yiling to come over due to Bambi's heavy dose of fur. And between bambi and yiling, yiling is still the choice. I hope my bambi will have no difficulties coping with her new caretaker and environment. Bambi got to go this saturday. I am sad, real sad.

Something to brighten you guys up.

Overcoming my Fears

In my life,I am most fearful of 3 things - Swallowing Medicine, Wearing Contact Lens and Swimming.

Recently, i am down with cough again and i did not bother to watch my diet. So ended up, my breathing tube also got a bit infected. Doctor call me to go home and rest. I have an easier time eating my medicine now as i can swallow them down now!! Yoo Hoo!! 1st fear overcomed.

Tommorrow is jessie's wedding and i am one of the Jie Mei.Actually, jessie wants us to stay one night at a hotel today but in the end, she call it off. I have take a day off in advaned so today i am on leave and free. Spent some time resting cause of my horrible cough and i start to wear my contact lens. Has always fear to do so as i am scared of putting something in my eyes. I spent some time physchoing my brain...

"Contact lens belongs to your eyes...it is part of iT!!"

With that,i keep telling myself that it is fine and i had it in in less than 2 hours. I find that pyschoing my brain to believe in something is very important to do to overcome my fear. 2nd fear overcomed.

Now, the last thing i need to overcome is swimming!! By then, i think i need to tell myself

"You belongs to the ocean, you are a fish!! SWIM BABE!!"

HAHHAHAHAH!!! OOPs....:)

What a day!

How blue can a Monday get? Definitely not like mine! Or should i say, how RED can a monday get. Well, things go like this...

My morning session class has just finished and i am done with my duty. So as i am packing the children's shelf work, another teacher is with me in the room. Let's call her Teacher Y. Teacher Y and i are chatting about our school's concert things when child R and child D walk past the classroom. R is a K2 boy and D is a Pre Nursery boy. Both are in close terms and the older one always took care of the smaller one. But sometimes, R may be too rough. R is tickling D and teacher Y calls R not to do that. Before i know it, i heard a loud bang with some noises similair like someone hit on some box and D went crying. He cries horribly loud and i quickly turn and look at D. D is laying face down on the floor and his right hand is holding his head. I quickly help D up and say "It's ok." I removed D's hand and realised his whole hand is full of blood. (Silly Carole for a few seconds thought is RED PAINT) I went into great shock and quickly lead him to a brighther area and blood is dripping down profusely from his head!! Teacher Y went "oh god!" and quickly rush for help. I am too much in shock to do anything while teacher went away for a few seconds and soon my supervisor came. She quickly pull a piece of toilet paper and apply pressure on D's head. I went for the first aid box. At this point of time, D is already surrounded by teachers and all of us fly off to carry out my supervisor's instructors. D is quickly sent off to clinic with his shirt full of blood. Even R's T-shirt has his blood too.

I couldn't help thinking of the whole incident while i am eating and having my afternoon session. The poor boy is sure suffering as the cut is deep and need 2 stitches! Oh, and the bloody scene, it is scary. the blood flows like tap. Lucky it is being stop within a short period of time.

I have always been very careful with children as i am scared that this kind of thing could happened. And now that it really did with my presence, i will be much more cautious of the children's safety.

Results of the Spoof

Had finished filiming our spoof and it is terribly hilarious!!! God!!! When i see the spoof done by all my teachers, i can only say "We are damn funny and we throw our images aside!" My spoof is the first to be filmed and i thought i am real 38. Until i see the rest of my colleagues, i nearly die of laughter!! They actually uglified themselves and act like nobody business!!! Clap clap for the teachers! We work hard and play hard!! :) I really hope i can pu it online and show you people but i don't think is possible. :( I think parents will laugh if they see us again after seeing the spoof! Poor teachers,images gone!ha ha!

Had a real happening saturday. Went to my colleague's place in the afternoon and meet jieying and her friends and we hang out till 3am. Really die of tiredness. But i am glad that i have finished my assigments! Imagine rushing 2 of them in a row in one week AFTER work! Every night i work pass midnight. Every morning i take cab to work.

Now, i prefer life with a purpose.I am working and playing hard. And i am not wasting time on unuseful event.

- It's Monday again and tommrow night going salsaING. ;P -

SPooF!

DO you know what is a spoof? A spoof can be something to make fun of an advertisement. It is being made famous in Mr Brown blog. My creative boss has planned that the teachers of each class are to come out with 1 spoof for their own concert item. For example, there is this new OSIM igallop. The teachers at ford road modify the osim machine to a rocking horse in the school playground. The spoof really looks very funny! For my group, i parthner with 2 other teachers and we are suppose to act a spoof on latest cameraphone.

So the scenerio will be 2 friends are together and friend A take out her slim cameraphone and go yaya about it. Friend B dish out her sleek cameraphone too and boast about it. Friend C (WHICH IS ME) suddenly put a proud look on her face and dig her hands in her handbag and took out A CAMERA AND A PHONE and look very satisfied about it. LAME O? yeah man, but it is black humour lah! Hee Hee! And dunno why, i got the position of being the most lame position! :( Tommorrow we will need to act out this spoof at our school's nearest bus stop. My supervisor want me to dress in my most havoc and trendy wear so that it will be real comical. Thinking about tommorrow, i really feel like laughing!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAA!!

We have help another group think of another spoof. if you remember, there is this STEAMY advertisement going around. There is this guy in his office and suddenly his 3G handphone received a message. He look at the message and his glasses steamed up.He quickly packed his bag and whenever he goes, the place steamed up. When he finally sit in his car, the glasses steam up too and his handphone show a girl dressing herself and say "Do come back earler husband!" So we modify this ad into a girl in office and received a message in her 3G phone. Just that the picture is a STEAMING SIEW MAI.

Has been online for these few days and so can blog more frequenly as i am rushing my assignments. Blogging is just a form of relaxation. Phew..back to assignment! Goodnight to all!

Vitamin C for life

Saw May's blog about breakup and suddenly feel like noting my thoughts down. Breakups are tough to overcome and definitely the darkest hour of life. During those dark hours, a lot of uncertainities will araise and views of life will change. How it change depends greatly will oneself and the friends around. Cause at this weakest moments, what friends say normally plays an important part. A mature mind to lead the injured heart will do a lot of help.

In life, i met a lot of people. I did look back at what i did when i am young and many i regret. I regret not planning for my future. I regret for some of my behaviours with guys. Now, i believe in the dignity of a woman. Yes, now a woman, no longer a girl. Childish actions and irresponsible acts should be out. At times, i did prefer a person with principles. Afterall, there is some guidelines in life to follow. But a person with principles have more of their own thinking and are often very stubborn head. Just which side of the coin you see.

Sometimes,is good to change our point of view on bad memories. Bad memories, are often consequences of what we have done, regardless bad decision, or actually is a hidden lesson of life. Is often that when we lost something, we will realise the importance of WHO is actually important to us. So bad memories and experiences sometimes are "antibodtics" to our emotional health. If a person has a forever smooth sailing life, what will he learn? Humans are always selfish and unappreactive (unless you are an angel to think you are perfect!). If some guys are not that rotten, you wouldn't see the other guys who are actually better. I wouldn't say to 100 percent trust a guy in long term, but at least if he give all his heart sincerely at that moment, the love you have before with him is of some value. Value, we cannot measure, one can just only feel with the heart.

Is always good to spend some time alone, evaluating on how your life has been. Although one is facing bad weather down, but that doesn't mean that you will always be having thunderstorm. Always remember what you see after rain...yes, is RAINBOW!! And rainbow represents a new life, a new perspective, a colorful and fresh life! Guess what, i have seen 2 rainbows this year! :)

Let's look forward to more rainbows in our life! Embrace the good and learnt the lessons of the bad.

Updates

back from Taiwan on monday night and only manage to update now as i have beem super busy ever since i touch down. Got to rush two assignments which are due next week and got to setle my class concert practice. Being put as in charge, i need to choose the dance songs, arrange the dance, choose the dance dress, hand props, hair style. And just name it man...i am all doing it. With ever since all date lines to meet, today, i gave a silly smile to my supervisor. She ask me why i smile but i just reply her nothing. Cause that smile is to me myself, is implyig, "goosh, i am going mad with all sorts of datelines crashing on to me!" With my absence, i need to make several phonecalls to parents also regarding my students. One of them is not coming to school as she thought i am leaving, which i am only travelling. And she is indeed very happy to see me when i am back! And one of my boy who is naughty but only listens to me, gave me a big hug and call me "TEacher CaroLe" lovingly when he saw me. This kind of satisfaction, who can give me? No one!!! Only i know. I really love my children to bits. Only adults who really love their kids before will get what i mean. :)

As the mountain tortise me has finally get up and went down a plane, several friends called to ask about my trip. Taiwan is not much of a "Wow wow" thing for me as teh sceneries are not impressive enough and i did not get a culture shock. But i did went gaga over shopping and shopping. Went to Shilin night market and i love the atmosphere there. There are these gangs of illegal shop vendors who will lay their mat and shirts in the middle of the road and there are so many of them that it form a long stretch. So half of the walking path is occupied by them and people will always stop and look at what they have to offer. You can find all kinds of casual wears there, irregardless of t-shirts and pants. But when you heard a siren, all of the illegal vendors will suddenly run and hide as the police is out for real business. But when they are gone, the illegal vendors will be out to "block the way" again!! Hee Hee!!

Went to "Fu Fen Pu" where wholesalers exist but i don't like the fashion sense there. Went to ximenting most and bought most of my clothese there. A quick view of my Taiwan trip...

1st day: DRENCH by sudden rain (side effects of taifeng) while i am eating at a roadside stall. See how unhappy i look!!!!


2nd day: Went to see this special rock formation thing by the sea. Nice sky and strong wind!


3rd day: At Hualien. A nice place with fresh air. We are at the middle of the road, waiting to take photo. hee hee!


4th day: Went to see a lot of temples.


5th day: Take a snapshot with the tribe princess in Taiwan.


Free and Easy Finally!!! Went to have a ride in Taiwan's train!


Settle our last day with tons of shopping and finally feel very shag!!


Try this fruit if you see it in Singapore!! It is call "LIM QIM" in hokkien or "shi jia guo" in chinese. It is the most time consuming fruit i ever seen as you got to eat SEED by SEED. But it is a tasty fruit!


For all the photos, click here

Saying HELLO from Taiwan!

Hello people! I am now in one of the hotels in Tai zhong, surfing its internet! Has been in Taiwan for about 3 days and i can say the buildings here are quite similiar to malaysia. Just tried smelly beancurd yesterday and it really SMELLS like a DUSTBIN!! Before i put it in my mouth, i actually went to smell it and it STINKS great deal!!! After that, i put it in my mouth and tried to chew on it. On my first attempt, i actually want to spit it out but i swallow it down. Heard that the one in Singapore is not as smelly as the one in Taiwan.

Has been going shopping for the past few days and the lunch is always the same. Finally had a nice dinner tonight and just went to hot spring this afternoon too. I could say that although I have sit on a plane and FLY to taiwan, i feel that i am in Malaysia. Perhaps is because there is no culture shock.

Still have 2 more days to go before i head back to Singapore. I will be heading back to taipei tommorrow and hope "tai feng" have leave Taipei already!! During my first day in Taipei, i have experienced the side effect of taiFeng and it is irritating!! Rain comes and goes, accompany by BIG wind. Woo Woo!!!

Gotta stop here. All the best to all of you in Singapore!!

Racial Harmony Day

Yes! This is the occasion of racial harmony day in my centre. All the teachers and children are suppose to dress in clothes from different countries. One of my colleagues lend me a kerbaya, which is a malay costume which is in tight fit. And we teachers went snapping our camera around madly during breaktime to take each other's outfit!

Went for salsa night again at Union Square. This time with my instructors and the other students. Fun night we have although most of the time i did not dance. They are a bunch of nice people and do enjoy the night. I will be gear to be there to DANCE after i polish up some of my twisting skills too!! Hee Hee!!

Moving On and On and On

Changes Changes Changes. It is going to happened tommorrow. I hope it is for the better and not for the worse. But i am glad that at least some justice has been done. I hope i will do a good job and of course, everyone MUST do their part now. I will make sure it will happen cause we are getting the same amount of pay. Till it is confirmed, i will update more. Just know that there is at least some learning curve for me now and i am happy to accept it. But there is also a need to be more street smart. I hope i can be.

Have a fun and packed Saturday!! My legs almost BREAK to the list of fun events! Ha Ha! First, went to a morning karaoke session with xiaodi and a new corsemate friend of me. She is a 18 years old girl but she is very funloving and friendly. I like her character. And xiaodi is only 20 years old this year!! So have been hanging out with these 2 very young kids but it ws very fun. Notice that i prefer to hang out with people that are sincere,frank and fun. That is fun, the young people always mix well with me. After that, went to my salsa class and danced till almost 6pm. Went a bit blur about my steps as more patterns are being introduced. Right after that, meet Annie and Huiling for dinner and gathering. My legs are real strained with all the walking and dancing with my heels!

P/s: Will be wearing a skirt for my salsa lesson next week, so is time to go choose one! :)

Is Russell's Bird Day!!

My favourite child, Russell is celebrating his 3 years old birthday today! Just let the pictures do the talking now. ;)


It's finally time to blow my candles!!


Look at my friends, eyeing at my cake!!


I must smile!!!


Happy Bday my sweet boy!!

CONFIRMED!

Woo HoO! My leave is approved! So i am flying off to Taiwan on 8th of August! How excited can a mountain tortise get!!! Of course is full of jumps, exitements, smiles and claps!! Hee Hee!! But there is a new trend of child's sickness coming along. My centre has gone through hand foot mouth disease, and 2 sweeps of stomach flu. And the latest update now is the fever virus. When a person gets it, the fever will go up and down for about 7 days!!! So i hope i will be standing strong and not let all these bad elements effect my trip!

Update on my Salsa class, we will be having 2 more extra lessons as there is a new batch of students coming in and there are more guys than girls. So we will be staying back after our own Salsa class and dance again with that group of students. With more guys to rotate around, of course the fun is double!! :) As when they are on their first class, we are already on our third, so of course we can exchange a bit of tips to them. I am dancing with this Malay guy and his steps are real small (good dancer) and my steps are real big so we ended up dancing real close so i keep try hard to keep my steps smaller to keep up with him. But he is good! After our dance, he say "you're good!" and i smile and say "you're good too!" And when the instructors say that we have to rotate parthners, there is this couple that reject to do so. The other 2 couples are fine with it. But i did notice when the BOYFRIEND come to me and we giggle and dance away, the girlfriend will send me looks. But don't worry, i am a pleasant girl. Just friendly gestures won't hurt right? Besides of more guys, our instructors are young and fun too! Simply look forward to my Saturday Salsa class! *Wink!

And there is this new cute kid which will be under my care and her name is Trixilia. I call her Red APple cause whenever she cry, her face will look very red and she has very rosy cheeks. She is incredibly SMART and she is only 18 months old!! She know how to blow her nose, how to vomit in the toilet bowl, how to use spoon and feed herself and she knows clearly how she can bully! As i am certainly NOT one she can bully, she always reject me. She will always want that young teacher to hug her and give in to her cries and tantrums. But since she is my child, she will need to be disiplined under my way. For me, i can see through her mind and when she cries, i will ignore her. Soon, she will settle beside me and do the things i tell her to. She is doing well independently till one of the teachers come and "Ang Ku Ku" her again and she start wailing again!!! This red apple is very hard to discipline as TOO MANY PEOPLE loves to give in to her. It is indeed giving me three strands of sweat man!!!

Ok enough of work, time for bed. Goodnight!!

My niece

Dear little yiling has indeed grow up already! To a sweet and very cute baby. I always remember how she hop in the walker when kim kiat's sister feed her apple juice! When i am married in future, i would want to give birth to 2 babies! 1 girl and 1 boy! (As if i am not getting enough of children!! Hee Hee) But children are real adorable....ahh...at least from young till 3 years old! The older they grow, the more headache caused.

Here are a few snapshots of Ms Yiling taken at Liusi's place when i visited her about a month ago, i think.




And i have gone to do soft treatment, another version of rebonding and my hair is now very smooth and straight. Not as straight as rebonding so the ends will tend to curl a bit. My colleague says that i look younger and indeed, i feel so in this hairstyle! Hair really plays a part! :)

Let's compare. Do i look better when i am in straight hair now,or in curly hair as i am when i am with my ex company?





Personally, i prefer my hair now, at least in this set of comparision! :)
