HOLA! I'm turning 21 in another 2 hours. I'm grateful to have all these wonderful people in my life. I've no intentions to do a birthday party because of my busy schedule and I don't feel like planning anything, hosting guests and making my parents busy. But still thanks to my love, besties and family who made this surprise party possible. I'm happy to have all of you in my life. Thanks darling and shun for planning the birthday, spending so much money on me. I feel bad. Thanks for the guys who came and helped me host my family. Thanks for my relatives who sacrificed their precious time to come. Thank everyone for keeping this secret away from me but I smelled something fishy on the way. WAKAKA! Pictures will be up soon. Stay tuned! :) Happy birthday JANET!

2008 is one hell of a year. End of Year 3 NAFA to now, being a kindergarten teacher. Totally way off. Taking my second diploma now which will definitely make a difference in my life as much as the first one did. I'm really grateful for one important thing I learnt from NAFA was knowing how to breathe, project my voice, phonetics and articulation. I miss Claire Devine though I'm kinda afraid of her. LOL. Many thanks to Sazali and Claire who taught me so much in acting class and giving me many chances to explore my capabilities. Thanks to Ma Lao Shi for making my chinese so much articulate now that people thought that I'm cheena. Thanks to Zhang Jing Lao Shi who chose me and gave me the chance to go to Manila and Puerto Princesa to perform during 2006 which gave me much confidence in myself and changing myself. I could feel the difference in my acting skills before and after the trip . It was a good experience. I wished there were more exchange programmes.

It was during my second half of year 2 to year 3 where I discovered I wanted to teach and be around children through my part time job in Kumon. It's great satisfaction when a child has mastered what you had taught. I started giving Chinese tuition to my cousin, work at PAP and also at kumon. Part time teacher and part time student. I started baking ever since 2007 Christmas. Baked my first and second layered cake on 2008 christmas.

During November/ December, I started getting things for my new room, shifted everything and finally it's done. The before and after:

Last day of 2008, had a party over at my place, it's becoming a tradition. LOL. Didn't manage to take pictures of everyone but so many thanks to those who turned up. All thanks to my gang (WQ, TY & SHERMIN, SHUN & LQ, ALEX, MEL & ALANDA) & boyfriend's gang (KEL & VAL, KALY & BRAN, HY, DARLING & WH). Thanks for making it possible. Some wacky pictures after 2am in the morning of new year's day.

Loving my work, my friends, my parents, my boyfriend. May 2009 be another exciting year. Loves all! :) Good night!

I just shifted everything into my new room today! The study room is now my room and it's so small compared to the room my brother is still holding onto. :( It's ok. I love it still because I finally have a room of my own. I can decorate my room the way I want it to be. Some privacy. The only con is, I'll be afraid sleeping alone if there are strange noises coming from outside my room or if I just watched some freaky shit show. -.-

Suppose to do my anecdotal record today but I only woke up at 1pm and had lunch till 2.30pm. Started clearing my things until 5pm then I left for love's place. Love's mama text and asked me to have dinner at their place, asked me to make baked rice for them. Couldn't make it in time. Luckily, love started making them first. I only had to spread the cheese over the rice. HAHA. It was such a filling dinner and I forgot to take my slimming pill! Came home after that and shifted my bed and table into the new room. Once it's done then I'll post a picture of my new room. It's still very messy now. LOL .

Congrats to dearest Ellipsis for bring hired at Indochine as replacements for Cats in the Cradle! It's a huge leap! So keep improving and let's hope you guys get much more and better deals! :)

Hello! I know I haven't been updating for so so so long. After being a teacher, you'd notice you have no time for yourself, not even your daily dose of computer/msn. -.-

Was busy with the whole of October and November. At the last week of October, I was already busy with my children's Portfolio, rushing to submit to my principal and also the children's graduation concert. Whenever I go online, I could only check my email and then logoff. 14 November was the last day of school, and after this day, I'm transferred to blk 232. Even after that, I got to help tear down decorations from Gina's class, move into our new classroom and prepare for orientation. I was told that I would be taking Pre-N next year. Suddenly, I'm gonna take K2 again. I'm also the AHOD for Social and Environmental Awareness, where I'm partially in charge for concerts, events and field trips.

Lessons at Learning Capital has also been quite smooth-sailing. Assignments are starting to pile up and thinking of practicum, it's making me nervous.

A month ago I started going for slimming acupuncture, my 10 sessions of acupuncture and 1 month supply of medicine has just ended. It cost me $450. I lost 3kg in a month and besides that, I lost my flabby tummy of mine and thighs are smaller now. Had some additional blueblacks too. :(

Let's talk about what happened today. Met darling's family early in the morning at Marina Bay. His da yi zhang came to visit them from Taiwan so today we brought him around Singapore. We went to Marina Barrage, it's my second time there. After that we had lunch at Chinatown and it was so so so good again! (second time there also). Walked around Chinatown for awhile before we head to Philatelic Museum. Love left at Chinatown because of work, how irritating. After touring at Philatelic Museum, we headed to Peninsula Plaza to get Min a new pair of shoes. Called my mama to ask about dinner then I realised today is papa's birthday and I've lost track of dates! How careless! Now that I'm home and I'm waiting for him to come home because mama bought Tiramisu cake for him. WAKAKA! I've got cake to eat tonight!

Here are some photos which I did not have the time to post. :)

Performance day- Shawn in his Toucan make up. I make up for him :)

Isabelle in her Toucan make up. I did it for her too! :)

Raidon and Krystel on the bus on Performance day. Beautiful and smart.

My beautiful Raidon Seah. I love him so much! He's so cute and full of surprises!

Naughty yet shy Krystel

Ma Yin Yin Naing was enthusiastic but Krystel hid

My lessons at Learning Capital had started. Learnt APA Referencing today and it was info-heavy. Went to Geylang Serai after class and got my usual dendeng, lekor and fish you tiao.

Been really busy in school, cheoreographing the graduating K2 dance. Don't have ample time to teach what is needed. But good too, cos I don't have to shout so much. They're so noisy, I had to raise my voice so they could hear me. Even to spend more than 1 lesson to lecture them in their behaviour. Hai hai.

Anyway, Here some videos of the children.

Jing Jing's Birthday

Zelia teaching kids. Focus on Krystel though, the girl with yellow pin and ponytail.

Working at PCF Punggol has been quite satisfying. I love the 24 kids in my class except for some really troublesome ones but overall, they're my babies. =)

I'll name some troublesome ones.
Valene Ong - No 1 KPO, complain queen, talkative, sit with legs open then complains people look at her panties, Trouble-maker when put together with Rozabelle or Andrea, competitive.
Basil Wong(not pronounced as the name of the herb, my students laughed at me on the first day already) - Complaining, fighting, prone to farting and toileting fat boy.
Shu Ming - Skinny and naughty, doesn't listen to me, always doing the opposite.
Rozabelle Richards - Very pretty Ang Moh mix Chinese Girl, attention seeker, complaining, trouble-maker when she's with Andrea or Valene.
Andrea - Quiet but attention seeking girl, trouble-maker when put together with Rozabelle or Valene.
Rui Min - Very cute girl but talks and plays too much, doesn't like if someone competes with her in doing things.

Here are some of my favourites.
Johnathan Png - Isn't really good looking or cute to some, but really cute boy to me. Very quiet and takes his work very seriously with good handwriting.
Hui Shi - Too quiet but really obedient girl. Doesn't speak. Instead of nodding, she blinks her eyes to say yes.
Nurcyndra - Malay mix Ang Moh girl. Very pretty and cute. Talks quite a lot too but listens very carefully if someone talks to her very fiercely.

Time flies really fast in school. Everything is done in a hurry. Classes start from 8 to 12. Twitch of an eye and it's time to go. I've still got plenty to learn and prepare for class. For now, I'm helping out with the graduating K2s in their concert. I'm teaching them dance and speech. Being kids, I only taught some really simple dance. When they all did in a group, they all looked so cute. Sad to say but tomorrow onwards to maybe next week, I may not be able to teach dance because I sprained my ankle last night. I just went to see the physician just now and he said I injured my ligaments. Now my ankle is swollen.

DPT is going to start next tuesday and I'm really looking forward to do some real studying.

OH! I gained weight after coming back from Redang. Now that I started my new job, I lost some because I don't have much appetite and time to eat. Being really busy, I can't eat much. I lost 1 kg! Now I'm 55kg. Still quite a lot and I'm going to slim down more due to work. I'm loving it! I hope I can at least go back to my 50kg and not 53kg. Heh heh.

Yesterday was bread day. During the kids snack time at 9.20am, I had chocolate croissant. During my break time at 11.40am, I had garlic bread. When I reached Faith Ah yi's house to teach Ruth at 2pm, I had Sarpino's Pizza. When I met BB, Kel, Val, Kaly and Bran for dinner, we had Pizza hut. I DID NOT EAT A LOT. So don't worry. I did not gain weight. HAHA!

Aights! I got to go now. Have to cook some green bean soup. Very heaty due to lack of sleep. Ciaos!

I'm employed at PAP Punggol Central, to be a teacher of course. At the same time, I'm also going to study Diploma in Preschool Teaching at Learning Capital. Did all the necessary registrations and my class is going to start on 16 September. On the 8 September, I'm going to start working at PAP. I have to wake up everyday at 5.30am. and leave my house by 6.30am. Reach there at 7.45am. Can't believe I'm working so far. Plus I'm not only having that job. I still go to Kumon on mondays. Teach Ruth chinese on wednesdays and fridays. Night classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. My 21st birthday happens to be on a Thursday. How sad. I'm so pack everyday. I'm sure I've got lots of homework and projects, at the same time MARKINGS! End of year is coming, the K2s are preparing for their graduation. I think I'm going to be teaching them dance or something as Mrs Raja told me, my principal. I don't know if my body can take all these early mornings. I'm very prone to heatiness and getting chapped lips when I don't get enough rest. For that, I really don't know how it's going to be like. Sad, my workplace is at Punggol and not Bishan, if not I don't have to travel so so so far and so darn early!

I found my favourite flower. It's called Calla Lily, 海芋.

I want them on my wedding day!

I'm BACK! Back to blog and back from Redang for several weeks. Just as lazy as ever to update because so many events happened and there's 200+ photos to upload! I can't post every photo up on blogger definitely. I'll faint and end up sitting in front of the com more than my usual 2 hours. Probably 5 hours to get all my photos done.

I'm doing quite a few stuff now. Working at Kumon still and teaching Ruth, my cousin, Chinese. Lyn didn't get back to me about kinder ballet. I don't think I'll ask yet. Today morning Chong's mama called and told me that their PAP is sending teachers to study Diploma in Preschool Teaching (DPT) and it's for free but bond for 2 years. I've been itching to study that and it had just crossed my mind last week. I'm only worried if I would make a hasty decision because I told my mother but she doesn't look really pleased. I hate this feeling. She's the one who's been biting me to get a full time job, now I'm going to get it, she doesn't seem happy. I didn't feel like I was making the right choice and I didn't get the approval. She didn't talk to me about what she thinks also, maybe she didn't wanna interfere. I feel like getting a penknife, slash myself to wake up first. Cleanse my blood. Cried out but the stress is still there, tears didn't flow me any answers yet. I wanna study and just do it but I don't want to regret. I don't want people to think that I'm making the wrong choice, what's more is my mama, my aunt and boyfriend. WTH. Only aunt knows I'm so so stressed now, cried while talking to her. I'm screaming inside now and my heart is trying to get out of my chest. I can feel the push. Before I put my head under the hot shower and worry later. Here are the albums that I've been wanting to share. Enjoy.
