haha i'm strangely a bit high by the end of today...i think it was just a rather eventful day..
it started out witb a call. at 715 in the morning from mrs mok... (yes i AM used to receiving calls and sending SMSes at unearthly hours now lol) i was to go and help the other consortium relief a class cos more than one tcher was not ard and the periods clashed. it was 1c! haha. fr my very first teaching stint. i felt a tinge of nervousness surge from within me.. . havent seen them in a long while.. and was kinda worried somehow.. abt lotsa funny things like whether they'd hate me for not remembering so many of their names and all. haii so sad. i was really super inexperienced la.. .. too preoccupied with too many things at the start that i didnt noe how to cherish knowing them. so now it turns out i actually noe my proEd boys quite a lot better and i feel very dui bu qi my first batch of students..
haha okie anyway the period with 1c didnt turn out as awkward as i feared it wld be...i discovered again that i miss them loads.:)
then was usual friday morning tea (free food courtesy of the staffwelfarecomm) w jt and eugene. new fren. :) who so sadly, was going to quit today. just when i started feeling comfortable talking to him. that makes TWO co-workers/friends leaving the school today on sudden notice. told u today was eventful. veh sad. :(
almost got to dine w weilin today for brunch cos she was in the vicinity but our schedules cannot make it la.. saad.:( but it was exciting just talking to her over the phone and anticipating the possibility....heheh=)
3q and p which i relieved these few days are really a rather cute bunch of students. FULLLLL of energy... cant sit still and do work without one of the following:
1. Chattering 2. Sleeping
haha... 3 p was BURSTING with comments about things.. amusing themselves by commentating on little things and making sound effects ("ooohh...";"whoaaa"; "SIAO!") on the volcanic eruption video i showed them today.. haha so silly.
ok next was lunch. sd's farewell in a way i guess. went over to hc canteen so we cld bump into him. heard him tell the story of his near brush with a con dealer with a lousy deal for a cam and a vengeance for those who turn him down... :S:S hahaha him and jt put together equals entertaining nonsense.. i just like to be there sitting in and laffing at it all. Thank Heavens for the great company again. :)
yep. so jt's brudders both leaving. dunno if he's gonna be sad.. to be stuck with me and jinmei for one whole month more. :P
i didnt really get to bring any farewell gift or note or something for sd and eugene.. which was pretty sad.. but somehow i just went with the flow of things i guess... maybe from the little time i've spent in their company..i kinda gained a teeny bit of insight into the intricacies of male friendships...and subtlely learned to adapt to it ? how some things may not really be necessary after all to express/convey whats most important. and a few other things i really dont think i can explain to even myself in concrete terms. haha. but its been an experience.
:)
mrs mok is the sweetest lady on earth. i've been granted leave for my obs trip and induction day as well... oh dear it means an even BIGGER paycut this month. :(
yeah.. i never really imagined i'd still be following the official school calendar after jc. haha. :P
its been rather long since i last blogged. actually its less than a week.. yet it seems like a long time probably cos quite a lot of things happened...
24 june - went with kok, cheekie, mavis to go watch JJ CONCERT!!! :):) chao high! hahaha awww i miss letting my hair down like i did.. mavis and i were screaming so much our voices were croaky by his THIRD song... ahaha. thats the kind of fun man. :) its great the concert providers decided to provide big screen closeups of jj while he performs... haha at least it really FEELS like u're watching him and that the person on stage IS really him haha and u've spent away seventy bucks in the right place. cant help feeling very surreal and doubtful when u're sitting so far.. lol..
besides a more polished tone in his voice...his dancing has really grown to be pretty cool stuff. yay!:)
cheekie's bro was a really kind soul who drove us from kallang to the stadium and fr the stadium to amk for me.. haha he only JUST got his license and i tell ya, but showed skills no less inferior to an experienced driverr can.. i was inspired!! :):)
yes. cos my driving test was to followww....27 june!!
haha contrary to what the instructor who took me on my warm-up round believed(he insists its not real nervousness if ur legs are not numb and jelly-like), I was really BRIMMING with fright prior to it all... all 4 months of driving and driving was gonna culminate in that half and hour or so...
i passed! haha by the skin of my teeth (1 more dp and i wouldnt make it)... remained in a dream-like state for the rest of the evening... hahaha..
haha okie. watch out folks! i'll be strutting my stuff on the roads of Singapore real soon.
meanwhile.. its been a pretty comfortable first week back at work. i'm feeling a bit better these days about the way i've been interacting with the sec fours and students in particular! haha.. i'm every bit tickled by their antics every time..BOYS.
:)
oh dear. sd's leaving tmr! one of the cool frens i got to noe fr this job.. very sudden news.. :( its just especially sad to say "zai jian" to a friend when u noe chances of meeting again are not even certain... and another person walks out of ur life...
ok la i think i gotta go now.. the lack of sleep is not doing good for my temper at all! been very easily irritated lately..:S very bad.
should have foreseen it when i chose to stay on for july too.
whines- i wanna go for arts camp!!! almost every single camp or outing's gonna clash one way or another and i'm chao sad..
maybe i shall hafta embark on an anti-social phase of my life.... hahaha.. pure mugging....
sigh. :(
and i really really just wanna say yes to helping out for thunderrain(ttp's big annual production!). but i cant help but feel tied down somehow in strange ways and this feeling is really pretty unnerving.. not to mention confusing and depressing.
haha how i hate my ramblings.
i'm watching magician's of love now! ai qing mo fa shi. my dear 183 men and gang of cute perfectly likeable pple. i fear it has practically taken over the reality of my everyday existence. i love being soaked in a world like that. dangerous. haha. but i guess its comfortable escapism.
sighs again.
recently. i was quite amazed by how the source of admirers for a beautiful girl CAN truly transcend batches...even generations...why is it some pple just get prettier and more desirable with time (who said only First leaves were Gold?) while some just start and stay on a constant decline in that same department?
i'm having my primary school classmates' gathering.. in less than 24 hours time.. and i'm feeling pretty nervous i dunno why. haha. there's also a tinge of excitement of course!:) but when i look at the "attendance list" to find names of pple i have trouble connecting impressions with! :S Now THAT is somewhat nerve-wracking.
haha! so much for reminiscence. yet i fear the silences.
"谈恋爱就好像出水豆一样， 每个人都会经历的。不要说要去回避还是什么,OK?" --from mama tham's book of golden words.
Oh dear it s a nice morning after the rain. Great weather.. for lazing! went out for three days in a row meeting...mostly diff old frens from fourthree haha. my mum asks why cant we all just meet up together in one huge gathering haha. yesh I had delicious and cheap Turkish food at the fareast place(yes the one that has that naughty ice cream man!) with mel on tues... bought nice skirt and top from our little shopping trip around heeren and from kino bought my much-desired Cantonese Phrase Book! lol feel bit more prepared for my hk trip noww:)
The assistance offered by the book is really quite long overdue. all my life i've been hopelessly incapable of responding to fluid torrents of Cantonese directed at me by relatives on both my mum AND dad's side during every HUGE gathering. haha. when u understand but cant speak back..it can get reeeeally agonizing grrr. hehehe.
ahhh Mel and me are both gonna become teachers...........hahaha...we were recalling how we were students together once..we subjected our teachers to TORTURE via harsh scrutiny and comment. Talk about a twisT of fate. or the wheels of fortune have turned...gulp. *crosses fingers*
Wed sarahbrudder jio-ed me to go on an impromptu kbox outing again...haha this time she got pht to come along! wheee. Missed them both tons. combination of folks was refreshing. had a lot of fun - their frequent harmonizing (ooh i almost forgot how ht and sarah used to do tt so much in class (: ) at nice songs....our slaughtering of Bai Se Hun Li when we were unfamiliar with parts..hahaha.. sarah had developed a theory that most mandarin songs sound alike.. so we can just anyhow warblee our way thru when u dont know. heehee.
Thurs I was shoved out of the house barely 15 minutes from the time I stepped out of my room in the morning. Was raining heavily and my mum was gonna drive my sister to her workplace at tiongbahru. And my parents and I were supposed to go shopping at greatworld so I had to tag along.
Its JUST. TERRIBLE. The way I splurged on a new pair of sandals and skirt and two tops!!! (barely two days since my last buy)....wahahaha. retail therapy rawkkks. GSS is a scam I tell ya. haha. think my dad was right.
k ge-ed with my relief/research sg again:) py, gina,ver...:) think i felt quite tired.. also guess the timing's really not too good for all of us as well.. there was just a hint of fatigue... but it was great to meet up again! :) really looking forward to our m'sia trip. :)
okie. i'll be flying off to hk tmr...be back on 16 june, thurs. miss me folks *grins* =) shop lots eat lots too everyone!! wherever u are.
the year was 1995. long before idol dramas and the loads of romantic sap were produced and sent to us by the masses.. Tokyo Cinderella arrived on my little tv set. :)
had my date with xiu yest... finally! after 5 years? haha..
i really hate that i forgot to bring my CAM out;( waaah. really must make it a habit real soon...
haha we watched X MEN at The Cathay.. Grand Theatre! gorgeous place it is haha. lots of leg room!! good for clumsy all me.. can huddle my way through the aisles without stepping on dozens of pple's feet now haha. (ALWAYS happens.)
i lurved the movie! my all time fave cartoon series..... ever since i first knew how to watch teevee!! haha.. sure stirred up a lot of pent up passion for superhero characters and their stories in me again....:):)
anyway.. its a lot of years between the both of us... still feel rather at ease with my dear old pri sch fren haha.. and i thank heavens for that.
we took a deep breath and walked into this fashion at the mcdonald house.. and were both really really surprised at the spread of pretty nice (and cheap) clothes we found!:):) happily trooped around trying lots.. that girl very xiao sa with her buying.. one shot bought three!=) me the broke since april girl decided to be virtuous(is that the right word to use hahaha) and save the shopping for my hk trip...:)
during the dinner we had i ended up giving her a leetle tutorial for basic theory! lol..:) and two day's later i handed her my dear handbook full of prized notes from my faithful attendance of ssdc lessons. hohoho.
X Men Rules! i'll really miss her. and i'm really afraid it'll be another 5 years.
something else happened earlier-seeing that i had some time before meeting xiu, i walked the way from orchard to dhoby ghuat where we were to meet. and met dear py!or rather SHE SAW me walking past at the very precise moment when her body was turned towards the washbasin in nydc facing the street. very tiny gap there from where i saw it........ yesh its all SERENDIPITY! one of my favourite words these days. *beams=D
