Crime Scene Investigation

Date: 14/11/2008

Time: around 11:40pm

A screeccch, a halt, and a BANG later - a car overturned.

Fuckin scary..
As i hurried over to the windows to witness the drama unfolding, likewise, the coffeeshop patrons nearby jumped to the rescue and pulled the passengers out of the wreck. As all seemingly survived unscathed, the poor shocked kid was heard crying while i wondered if the car would explode.

The ambulance and fire engine arrived within 5 mins of the crash scene, wheras the police took a lengthier time.

Maybe the flipped car was speeding and attempting to do some overtaking. Silly amateur racer-wannabe.

Have a safe ride.

thumbie slipped into a drain
beckoning to a handsome stranger
spiritedly down he went
fishing through murky waters

thank goodness for such kindred spirits

I miss life at Ngee Ann Poly.. food and co.
Haven’t set foot there for two yers.. Will be goin back for the upcoming ECH Homecoming 2008..
Popped by the NP webpage and found out there’s a free shuttle service from the Hougang Central Interchange to NP in the mornings.. “!
There's oso the Diploma in Psychology and Community Service..
Why do all these beneficial things happen aft we leave sch?.

Super irritated!.
We were advised to fill in every comment box on the individual child's Progress Report.. and that the comments should not be repeated with every other child..
There are 69 comment boxes to lament on and 30 reports to complete..
That means a total of 2070 unique comments to make! Wattheheck!
The more i worked on it, the more i couldn't be bothered and the more slipshod i got..
Counting on the repeated messages i fill in, i still take about an hr just to doodle on 3-5 reports..
Damn.

Received news that i had to do a presentation for a group of teachers two weeks ago. Part of another major childcare operator is adopting our curriculum. Heh heh~ I went with the idea of turning down the request by all means. But alas, it was an irrefutable decision. The principal curriculum specialist seemed surprised that this is only the second year running that i'm teaching the Nursery level. And i'm wonderin why i was chosen... i'm introverted, have trouble thinking of what to say and shy toward strangers.. yes yes. a fear of social situations.. Sighz~
Of course, i was scared out of my socks throughout my ordeal. But it was an experience nonetheless.

2008-04-05T16:50:00.003+08:00

Geez..
I've been tryin to look for a featured trailer song..
Passed by a few stores playing the song but was too embarrassed to ask..
I'd suspected who the singer was..
Alas, i could'nt find anything as his song titles were in Spanish..
But i so happen found it today aft a month or so.
That goes to say... never give up!

2008-03-16T02:10:00.015+08:00

Screen shopping is my new pastime.

Once i start clicking, i can't stop.

These two bags are way cute.

Been daydreaming abt em..

Mmm. Juicy! Me want!

2008-03-02T21:17:00.005+08:00

Sometime ago, i stepped into a music store and the song on air caught my attention.
The name 'Olivia' on the album cover made me think of an 'Olivia Ong' i read about somewhere...
True enough, Singaporean singer Olivia Ong was featured in articles previously..
This gutsy girl ventured into her own and released a few album of covers in Japan..
Love the Bossa Nova feel and Olivia's vocals.
Since i can't get her songs outta my head,
here's three of her tracks on moi playlist..
Take a listen.. .. ..
Boy! do i really enjoy music from different genres.

2008-02-20T22:10:00.004+08:00

I thought my thumbdrive was trusty..
Apparently it backfired on me..
Proclaiming formatting is the only way to go..
Running off with my painstaking hard-work..
Yet again, misfortune befalls.. .. ..
I weep as i pick up the pieces once more.

2 hours and 10 minutes to the New Year!
[wif the fattest-ever pimple on my nose]

- 9:40pm -
i slipped into my black booties, slung on my metallic bronze bag, flipped my hair, and bade goodbye to my folks, intent on taggin along wif my bro to the club.. but alas, he refused to bring me along and closed the door on my pimpled nose.. lolx.
so... he continued on his "rite of passage" decked out in newly bought wearables..
READ: long-sleeved TOPMAN shirt, LEVI'S jeans & CONVERSE sneakers.
a bomb he must haf spent. i cant stop chucklin at dat thought..

Anyways.. Back to me.

To encapsulate 2007 in the overture for 2008 and beyond:

For items that are stolen / disappeared - What's lost is lost.
For misfortunes (thumbtacks stuck on footwear / slippin down stairs) - Bless me!
For cherished relationships - Where conditions remain status quo or get even better.
For splurgin on clothes, footwear and more clothes - Erm.. Just spend necessarily aft thinkin thru many times as hard.
For the lack of exercise - To engage in an activity as fun as dance.
And i want more ME time.

Love ya all! XoXo

A neat effort which i reckon jaws solely
helped in pasting but she added on
that she did some arranging.

A chocolate connoisseur's luxury.
Four pieces were generously
offered to my mummy.

The nut coated ones are simply heavenly.

The pages were stuffed with $94 worth of $2
bills [a simply novel way to give Val cash]
and she's gonna spend it on the rest of
the series. what a chick lit fan.

Eve's one-of-a-kind acrylic design.

- a Rainbowz concoction

Not forgetting, some accessories

It's a really tiring week.. Had an assignment due on Monday (would've forgotten abt it if i wasn't reminded)"! And we had to prepare for open house tomorrow.. Though we were primed for the event 9 weeks ago, there was much work to be done, what with all the relieving of other classes leaving us little time.. Pictures had to be snapped to accompany documentations, dance had to be taught, artworks needed artist's identification tag, gotta sticka muted backing for every document, boards must be hung up.. So many things done and displayed.. for all of FOUR days... ... Aft which we will have to take them down.. zZz~ My shift ended at 4:30pm this week, but i stayed back FOC to offer some assistance to my fren the past 2 nites, arriving home only at 8pm+.. Besides tmr's event that is ending at aroun 9pm, i also have to work on Saturday as well.. Oh wells... ...
And what's the most sickening thing of all? Children and their parents getting on my nerves! PHISH PHISH PHISH! I am so irritated i so know it i so dun wanna feel like so.

[wrote the post a year back, havin been rubbed the WRONG WAY.]

The Thing about Presents (aka Gifts)**

i see jocelyn waving her fingers threateningly about my proposed abolishment of present-givin..
Wahaha~

ok jocelyn (who counts vouchers as totally insincere), here goes:

wats all the nonsense abt sincerity?. u spend time in choosin a present. only to haf the receiver exclaimin dat she didn't like it one bit. and the ultimatum? attemptin to pass on the present to somebody else. so..
and all this person can rmb is - i got a present i didn't like. who bothers abt ur sincerity and the time u took lookin fer a prefect gift?
.i mean, at least appreciate the thought and the effort by showin the slightest hint of pleasure!.

furthermore, many a times, the giver isn't certain of wat to get and end up askin the receiver for clues.. nt only dat, gettin a present also comes with terms and conditions. more so of the wat-not-to-gets. in the end, it boils down to the same sort of purchases time and again.. it doesn't help dat we already haf ownership of so many items these days.. hence, gettin an exceptional gift ain't dat straightforward anymore..

and to receive gifts dat i, valerie tan, cant bare to use (coz the item's too pretty), it's such a waste of money..

so all in all, i'll rather save the money and go get something i like and will prob use. henceforth, i am ascertained of my goal to fully get rid of the present givin aft moz of our 21st b'days. y aft the 21st b'day? ya might b wonderin.. simply. coz i deem celebratin 21st b'days is a rite of passage kinda ting and present-givin is in the package..

i'll say wats more impt is the quality time spent together and the sincerity in gettin to noe and understand one another.

but den again. i'll nt rule out present-givin totally coz it's satisfyin to noe dat the receiver appreciated the gift.. if she did. heh

jocelyn will b relieved abt the last sentence, wouldn't she? *wink*

** this post wasn't written wif jocelyn in mind.. well, nt entirely.. =P

I'm finished wif Harry Potter VII in 2 days flat.. Twas Sunday. Considerin i usually finish the few hundred odd pgs of the other books in mths, this was a mean feat.. I had mixed feelings while reading the book.. Every stone's unturned.. Truths that aren't easy to stomach.. Nonetheless, it was a spectacular series by JK Rowling. Two Thumbs up*

2007-07-21T11:31:00.000+08:00

The long-awaited final installment of the Harry Potter series is arriving today! The books haf burned a big hole in my pocket, wif the latest costing $50+. Oh my goodness, it's coming to an end. i love the series man, it's an out of this world, magical world. Been readin since my sec sch days.. Fortunately, i'm still alive to be able to finish the Harry Potter Heptalogies.. Will take a long time to get through the book, given my packed schedule. Thank goodness the 3 main leads of the movie are stayin on to play their roles till the end of the series. I'll hate it if the actors change in the midst of it all. I hope the ending satisfies me, thankfully there were no spoilers for us Potter fans... ... Imma gonna collecto my book now.

2007-07-07T20:36:00.000+08:00

Aw man.. Driving an auto car is way easier than a manual one.. Though changing lanes isn't any easier..
A certain Miss Jocelyn was our rent-an-instructor for the day.. She was heard tsk-ing away.. That would haf given me irritable bowel should i wish to rent-an-instructor in upcoming sessions..
Neways.. Our initial plan was to go Golden Mile Food Centre @ Beach Road to try the desserts from The Sweet Stone Parad'Ice.. However, due to foreseen circumstances > heavy traffic, we then decided to pop by Ikea Tampines..
After food and shopping, Jocelyn and Rebecca were dropped off before i made my way home to deposit the purchases.. And to add on, there was not much time left before the rental hour was up.. Man. With heart a-thumping and clock a-ticking, i sped whenever possible and rushed to return the car to the 8th level of the carpark.. Had i been late, an additional charge plus the excess hour charge would be charged.. Luckily, i managed to beat 3 minutes..
I had to add a trophy to each of our display shelf because the car was returned in perfect condition.. Yippee!!! An auspicious start to an automatic drive.

2007-07-04T20:57:00.000+08:00

Double whoopee! Make dat triple!
I passed my *failed module.. There was an oversight which was corrected and my overall grade is that of a PASS. Yeah~ I don't have to re-attend the module by myself next year..
By the way, my wardrobe made a surprising arrival on Monday.. I wasn't expecting it until mid-July.. Great! I can start packing my things in over the weekend..
Thirdly, the Tooth Faerie bestowed me her avatar on Neopets.. Been waitin for that random event for a looong time.. And i got it today!
Wee~ I'm realee happee!!!

2007-06-27T20:34:00.000+08:00

WHAT A BLOODY SCREWED YEAR THUS FAR!

Just yesterday, my wardrobe that was supposed to arrive, didn't.
I already made full payment, and to think that my wardrobe is out of stock?!
Good gracious! they didn't even have to courtesy to call, leavin us waitin and waitin for hrs..
Having moved all the clothes onto my bed, it is very occupied now..
Because the other items have nowhere to go as well, my house is in a messier state!
And the best thing of all? The stock's only coming in mid-July..
That means i'll have to sleep on the floor for goodness i-dun-wanna-count how long?!!

and the BOMB...

Aft a few witnesses, my friend commented dat i've been cryin for a number of times this year.. How not to? Over my stolen hp, "lost passport", kids stressin me nuts, lost folder, and NOW.. i flunked a module in all its entirety!!!

The note:
"You have not demonstrated an understanding of the theory, or shown how it can be applied. Your presentation has been unsatisfactory. You have failed the course for this term.
You may wish to enrol in the course for a second time and you will be notified of this in the near future."

What the heck! PHISH

I only failed by a few marks the first time, and after resubmitting my second assignment, i still couldn't pass?!!

Am i gonna waste money and time in repeatin a module again?!

I feel too exhausted to continue studyin.. tempted to quit now and take whatever cash balance that's left.

Dang! My determination to complete the course is evaporating... ...

obviously
i didn't see a rainbow
but experienced a bad storm at 8:34 PM ='(

i love cheeses not.

i do not like those packet cheeses u get frm supermarkets, containin those individually wrapped square ones.. and oso dose strong tastin ones.. somehow, dey taste funny on my tastebuds.. so, all in all, i do not like cheese. until i fell in lurve wif the loaf on the ntuc childcare menu.. and discovered it was made of cheese! hence, cheese loaf is on my mind durin high-teas as i only taste it twice a mth [sad].. den i found out aft helpin aunty wif preparation dat the cheese was those individually wrapped ones.. eh. . . and recently, the aunties added some cheesy bits to the spaghetti.. those cheesy bits were mozzarella.. cheeselicious~

i love cheeses.
in all its forms and guises.. erm.. well.. not really.. dats an overstatement..

2007-06-02T16:03:00.000+08:00

I'm SO DEAD.
I am missing an important plastic folder wich contains my documents..
Included are my research qns, a favourite drawing by my student, colleagues' contact numbers etc.
The Research Qns!
I need it to start on my research assignment due on Monday!
Fortunately... the date's postponed to Thursday.
I am downtrodden, what wif such a bad spate of events - ranging from stolen hp, missing passport, and NOW my plastic folder! *sobz*
Please lead me to my plastic folder. God bless.

Oh no! A new survey form has popped up! There is a qns abt extendin opening hrs and how much one is willin to pay for it.. Extension?! Bad news for teachers! The centre is already operatin for 12 hrs.. Though the pay is pathetic in itself, i wouldn’t wanna work longer and later for only a lil more moolah.. Imagine knockin off and reachin home late in the evenin.. Shoot! We unsealed the returned survey forms and peeped at the contents.. The funny thang abt the ans to the above-mentioned qns was, some parents ticked the ‘yes’ box but den changed to the ‘no’ box.. We guessed dey presumably saw the part abt payin more later on.. Lolx~

*Note* Rmb dat imma homebody.. Home is where my heart is.. Hoho~

Starring the babelicious Kim Ah Jung and hunkelicious Joo Jin Mo, 200 Pounds Beauty was a hoot to watch.. Saw the trailer and immediately agreed to the movie date wif my buddy on sat.. The reviewer of The Straits Times gave the film 2 ticks, whereas The New Paper's gave 4 ticks.. I acquiesce wif the latter.. The plot flows brilliantly, milking in lots of laughs and makes one empathise wif the leadin ladee..

As mentioned by the TNP editor, the show is: "Immensely entertaining to watch without being pretentious or offensive to plus-sized folks. It is more than a mere shallow endorsement of plastic surgery, carrying a satirical undertone that pokes fun at the uglier side of pursuing beauty".

Power to Kim Ah Jung for lending her vocals to the soundtracks.. Maria~ AVE MARIA~

Scoot off to a ~~cosmetic clinic~~ cinema near you!
When 200 Pounds Beauty is out on VCD, it's mine for keeps.. =D

2 entries combined. It's gonna b long...

St. James.
Wed. 11.04.2007

Well.. I'll start wif St. James, an addition to my clubbin scene.. Been ages since i stepped into one.. The bugbears bt clubbin is dat i get home reekin of cigarette smoke, clothes n all.. Takes some time for the smell in the hair to disperse even aft a bath.. Also, i do not like the idea of being cramped in a small spot, shoved and trampled on.. But, it's a time for get-togethers and drinking alcohol at no charges.. Cheers to the big turnout, i got to see my dear friends.. I adore Cranberry Vodka, it's berry vodkalicious! For DIY shots, i recommend a mixed shot of 20% Chivas Regal and 80% Coke.. Sweet it is indeed, absolutely drinkelicious! On the other hand, Tequila shots are bitter and made sour wif a slice of lemon.. Haha~ Took 3.5 Tequila shots at St. James, how unsaintly.. camera.lights.action. i tink i got a bit dizzy.. walks in a straight line wif aid.. a lil nonsensical but still sane.. dats how i'll describe..

NTUC ChildCare - Staff Retreat.
Thur. 12.04.2007. to Fri. 13.04.2007

Aft a nite of clubbin, nt forgettin washin up, i snoozed at 5am, only to wake up at 7am to leave for Johor Bahru..

Arrival: The itinerary was 2hrs of shoppin following lunch.. However, we ended up wif barely an hr.. Jusco Tebrau laid claims to being the biggest mall in South-East Asia/Asia/World (i cant rmb), until our very own VivoCity popped up.. Heh~ Having been there before, my colleague brought us to the department store.. The innerwear section was targetted.. Even i, who had never bought innerwears by myself went on a Lingerie Frenzy.. A myriad of pretty colours and designs.. As far as i'm concerned, the pieces retailed at only RM10!! We spent half of our time there.. Hoho~ Then, we went to get confectionery, my Malay pals happily patronised the halal-certified BreadTalk.. Having been futile in both attempts & dreams to lay my hands on The Doughnut Factory's doughnuts, i went nuts over those frm Dunkin Donuts.. 20 cute mini ones were sellin for simply RM10.. Wee~

Back on the bus, i fell aslp huggin my flat brown pouch.. It contained my hp, my passport, SGD $25 and RM 140.10.. My fwen recorded me durin my violent nap.. As usual, my head was noddin off frm side to side and everywhere.. What a funny sight to behold.

Then the inevitable had to happen. My friend seated on my right had to drop her jacket.. As i bent over to pick the garment up, i placed my pouch at the back of the seat and conveniently forgot abt it.. When it was time to alight, my mind was on the purchases i had to carry down..

Intially seperated into 3 rooms, the 6 of us participating in the dance managed to swop around and settled in Room 223.. Wow! Imagine our sheer delight at seeing a nice big suite, akin to a 4-rm HDB flat.. My buddy so happen darted into the master bedroom wich was to be mine.. Heh~ The side door slid to reveal a swimming pool we haf assess to just steps away.. Cool~ Too bad it closes at 7pm.. I gaily marched into the walk-in wardrobe, but nearly walked into the shower's glass door.. "! During the time of check-in, there were several electrical disruptions where the lights went out for a few mins.. The hotel most highly hadn't received such a huge reception of 600 before.. I didn't dare to step into the loo coz it was totally pitch dark.. My fearless friends were brave enuff to go where i daren't though..

Once the grp was done wif costume changes and application of make-up, ready to leave for rehearsals, horror hit me.. My brown pouch was MISSING! We turned the place upside down lookin for my pouch.. I didn't noe how it disappeared.. Panic! And wen we tried dialling my hp, the line was cut off.. Heart-attack! [Not another thief wantin to pinch my stuff] i hoped.. The seriousness of the situation - i'll hafta remain in Malaysia for goodness-knows-how-long without an identity.. I imagined mummy's reaction, the sum of money to replace my lost possessions and my forsaken position.. Tragic! Tragedy-in-waitin!

Then i troubled the personnel, wich at that point in time, i still couldn't rmb how my brown pouch disappeared! They decided to contact the driver for some clues [my grp wasn't helpin by suggestin dat he went to drive other Malaysians around] *those other people will take my pouch* i hoped not.. But they reassured me and promised to stay wimme all the way through..

Wantin to act professional, i carried on wif dance practice albeit a heavy heart.. News came to me dat there is no pouch in the bus.. My heart sank.. So where did my pouch go??? My centre principle learned abt my predicament and together, we searched the room once again.. All the while, she emphasized dat no matter what, she'll make sure i get home.. Alas, the search for brown pouch came to no avail.. Deep down, I was touched by these people..

Den my principle made a comment abt my other colleagues.. Jackpot! We found em, and they did haf my pouch! Phew~ They picked up my pouch on the bus but forgot all abt it! 2hrs of emotional torture! My buddy attributed my carelessness to my lack of slp caused by late nite partyin.. Hrmph~ Anyways, i'm boy glad it's found.. Thankfully, the issue was resolved as we sat down for the 2nd dish..

The dance competition for the night was intense, the other 7 grps either injected the night's theme of latino flavour / belly-danced / bollywood-danced.. Ours was more like modern dance, our 4mins song combi goes like this: Madonna's [Like a Prayer], Stacie Orrico's [More to Life] and Britney Spear's [Sometimes].. We prepared ourselves dat even if we did not clinch any prize, we would haf an unofficial award-giving ceremony in our bedroom.. *Ahem* Nothing funny, just going up the bed to receive a bread or sth.. Who knew, quite unexpectedly, we got 2nd!!! That was way way way cool! The prize money, rather, NTUC vouchers was a disappointment.. 1st prize winners got $300, we got $150.. Halved?. Better than nutin.

All in all, i should say that i'm really blessed with such wonderful friends (pre-poly, post-poly) and family. Count your blessings too. would you?. =)

End of post. *Heaves a a sigh of relief* right?

2007-03-31T22:35:00.000+08:00

First Aid is over.. Yeah! It's tiring to travel so far.. The refreshment course will be held 3 years later, if i'm still in diz line.. =X The practical exam was unexpected and freaky of course.. Other pairs were tested on the palm and leg bandage, wich we didn't even learn.. Thank goodness i only had to do the elevation sling, though an arm sling would be easier.. I wasn't done wif tidyin up the loose ends and the doctor commented: "Aiya, so messy, do properly". Earlier, before we entered the rm, the doctor was overheard sayin to someone in the previous grp exasperatedly: "The patient will die waitin for you..." Oopx~ I was petrified coz i was a lil confused btw the steps for chokin and CPR, nt forgettin bandages.. During CPR, i tikam tikam the location of the sternum, juz can't seem to locate these places (belly button included).. Den my compressions were too fast though durin lesson time, i appeared out of breath.. Imagine sayin 1. and 2. and 3. and 4. and 5. and 1. and 2. and 3. and 4. and 10. *repeat cycle till... and 30* continuously.. Phew~

Oh ya.. And i tink i did ok for my open bk exam bcoz the final score pulled my assignment out of a Pass1 to a Credit.. Goodie~ Been feelin quite zZz coz i've been receivin P1s..

2007-03-18T09:56:00.000+08:00

Hafta take the First Aid course at St John's Jurong Centre.. 7 session's nt dat short.. Jurong's so far frm work and home.. Takes me close to 2 hrs per trip.. Yawnz.. One time, i decided to take bus service 51 all the way frm Jurong to Hougang Interchange and poor butt was rooted for 2 1/2 hrs .. The refresher course in 3 yers' time requires 4 or 5 sessions as well.. Aiyo~

Over at UniSA, had an open book exam for the 1st time in my life.. If one so happens to spot the correct qns, juz note it down in the txt and voila!, copy onto the exam script.. Alas, i didn't really prepare for the exam, hence my txt's noteless..

How beezy.. Staff Retreat's held so early diz yer.. We're goin to Johor.. Aww~ Nt spend money again.. Since my centre didn't take part in the singin competition last yer, the principal egged us on to do the Dance-a-Mania one diz yer.. The cute part is dat the 5 participants are graduates of NP.. Still gotta attend practice later on to rehearse the dance steps.. Luckily, my colleague learned Dramatic Dance before and could choreograph the steps, saves us thinking time, though it's nt easy to master.. stifF.. aching ACHING..

I'm near hysterics when i think abt my stolen hp..
Anyways, after a one-week mourning period..
My new official no. is 90?53???..
Here's some food for thought:
Cancel away the nos. of my birthdate - 16986..
The nos. 053 are left..
Read it backwards, that's approximately the price i paid for my new hp..
Urgh~

2007-01-21T19:01:00.000+08:00

11am: Went around lookin fer a phone of the same model - Sony Ericsson K750i.. I'm sentimental to my things.. So sad dat i lost (*cross my fingers*) my phone and my number.. I hardly change phones coz there's rarely any model i adore.. Was told by many dealers dat the K750i is obsolete alrd.. Felt damn disappointed lor.. My mum kept urging me to get a newer model but i was somewhat reluctant..
5pm: During Mummy's 45 mins break, she kindly accompanied me back to Hougang.. After several fruitless attempts again, we found my model in the same colour.. However, Mummy persisted in not purchasing the phone frm the dealer bcoz he didn't wanna lower the price (c'mon, it's obsolete alrd, can't he even make a slash?).. So, we proceeded on to the other shops around.. And ta-da! I found another of my model.. What's more?, it's specially newly arrived & it's in a limited edition colour - red.. I like it.. Mummy likes it too.. She's tryin her luck at orderin one more set.. Cool! and not so cool~ I blew $350+ for nutin.. Fug fug fug.
5:45pm: And about the police report?, i spent 1 hr at the station and put 16 signatures down.. Dad told me reporting is actually to protect me in case i get dragged into some nonsense should dat fugger attempt some wicked things again..
Screw dat downright lowdown creep!!!

Sucks BIG time!
Besides gettin rusty thumbtacks stuck in my footwear on two different locations over the wk, i've got a swollen toe thumb frm a sprain (while wearin wedges) aft twirlin a kid.. After which i had to limp frm work--class--home since wed.. Argh! Thankfully it's much better now, if not i'll hafta visit the foot-fixer..
That's not all though..
Somebody pickpocketed my phone at Citylink..
Surmised dat the damn fugger saw me puttin my phone into my bag while going down the descending escalator and took a chance at the connecting ascending one.. Actually felt the person behind me gettin too close and shifted my bag forward.. Alas, dat ass'd alrd dipped her filthy hands in/out.. Only realised my lost while seated for dinner.. sob 0_0,. May karma get to her.. Sucks.. Gotta get a new phone.. I'll spend less to recoup my loss.. Read dat?. Meanin less shoppin etc.
So friggin sad...

May good fortune come to me aft these mishaps.

Though P Plate days r long over.. I haven driven in a year mien..

FINALLY!

Bec & i gt a chance to refresh our skills in a rented car.. Twas frea.ky. I honestly couldn't recall netin at dat point in time.. Pleaded wif Bec to start the engine rollin first.. Although Jawsie came along, luckily she didn't stay long enuff to snigger at moi skills.. However, thank u for showin us where the light switch/odometer/petrol puncher/water squirter/wipers are..

To add on, i haf sth new? to share.. Deres a trip odometer wich can b reset to record mileage travelled per trip.. Hah.

And so, aft Ms. J left, we were drivin aroun Edgefield Plains.. Didn't really noe our way aroun, miraculously we ended up in Hougang 2 hrs later where we decided to slp over at my place..

That's nt it. we decided to get parkin coupons to steer clear of fines before endin the nite..

But itchy mind/body/soul couldn't stop for the nite and we tried to learn parkin between cars, wifout poles mind you.. Dat we'll hafta master eventually..

So. . . Pure Determination!

Was hopin the neighbourin cars would survive wifout a scratch..

Meanwhile. . . Alas, not 1, but 2 friggin cars stole our lots as we were practisin at 2 am..

Fuggin bloody baloney.

I, personally, took a damn long time to figure out MY theory of gettin into lots..

Nevertheless, WE MADE IT!!!

- back to Edgefield Plains

- and back to the parkin lot at the multi-storey carpark (sandwiched btw 2 cars)

WOOHOO!!!

I'm so slpy now.. Yawnz~ Bonne nuit!

2 pots of new plants for my bay. Bought by the centre.
'Apparently', my bay cant retain students though statistics haf shown dat we haf the best occupancy rate as compared to the other age groups.. My Head tinks the plants are 'lucky' plants dat'll attract and keep business.. However, it's considered by many to be for 'prayer purposes'.. Lolx~ I doubt she, an Indian lady, would know abt this plant unless instigated by *uh-hem*.. Besides waterin, teachers muz carry em a distance to sun and fertilise once evry 2 wks.. Right now, the furthest these plants could go are the back gate.. According to sources, these plants are tot to survive best outdoors wif lotsa care.. The Head had a disclaimer proclaimin dat if netin untoward happens to them, we'll hafta pay for it.. The task seemingly fell into my unwilling arms.. Shoot! Wat in the world do I noe abt plants? Apart frm being educators, we're cleaners and now, gardeners. Wats next? Wattheheck!

fed up! Fed Up!! FED UP!!! When excuses are given, i hafta do work pple shun.. Dang to the power of infinity!

I tink besides being GREEDY, NITPICKIN, KIASU, RUDE, STINGY etc., moz Singaporeans are a NONSENSICAL bunch.. Imagine one child biting another.. Please understand dat the said child was teethin and was probably aggravated.. The victim's parents angrily demanded if the villian's parents were informed abt the incident.. So, wat did dey expect to see? That the young villian's parents pluck out all his teeth and damage the roots to prevent teeth frm growin out? C'mon man. Grow up!

I rarely make donations and am constantly lamenting abt donating.. Coz i wouldn't really noe where the money goes to.. - Does the 'volunteer' get paid? Wats more wif the NKF saga and all.. In further truth, i didn't haf spare riches to make a contribution neways.. Considerin i even stinge on myself to save up my prerequisite amount.. Heh~ Well.. Wat i'd found out was, children who apparently come frm lower-income families and were acceptin subsidies could merrily afford branded goods.. Defaultin on sch fees, but possessing numerous pieces of Osh Kosh wear.. Dang. I mean, live within each of our means and get unnecessary stuffs only if deres moolah to spare mah.. My parents wouldn't splurge though dey prolly jolly could.. Hence, makin compulsory donations at my workplace is makin me pissed off.

I nv used to buy tidbits to munch on.. Not even sweets.. Dats bcoz allowance was only sufficient for value-for-money-sch-meals to go by.. The temptation to snack was oso non-existent.. And i scrimped and saved my part-time job earnins.. But now.. I'm becumin both a spendthrift and a glutton.. On bus rides home, i wanna pinch people's french fries (the whiff is so alluring) to eat.. Horrendous..
As workin life is tuff, i'm more willin to spend to satisfy myself, though an Early Childhood Educator's pay is quite pathetic actually, considerin we're professionals..

My mantra is: Live Life to the Fullest
meaning - work hard (nt dat i'm keen on, work smart will be wiser) & play harder.

I've gotta exercise self-discipline in the 'play harder' part abt the spendin bit.. Speakin abt exercise.. I'm in nid of it!

Didn't like wat i'd signed on the back of my POSB GO! card..
Hence, i wistfully hoped the pen ink would disappear wif the help of an eraser..
But wat vanished were some of the colourful 'MasterCard' words..
And now in place are the faint white words that read 'VOID'..
Now i've gotta change the card..

Orderin Birkenstocks online is more value-for-money..
5 identical pairs + maybe a 5% Goods & Services Tax (GST) charge of the Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF) = 5($55.70) + 5% = $292.40
$292.40 / 5 Birkenstocks = $58.50
Dats abt $30 cheaper dan wat u pay for in the shops..
Anybody wans to get one?

Peeped at the update of personal particulars of families of children at the centre.. To my huge surprise, many of their family income exceeds $5000.. It gt me tinkin wat a great amount is saved each mth.. Heh~ And so, i decided to analyse a couple's gross monthly income of $6000:

CPF = $1200

A $150,000 5-rm flat paid over 10 years = $1250

Ownership of a cheap car = $500

Meal money (couple + child) = $150 x 3 = $450

More expensive food fare = $200

Shopping / social events expenditure = $300

Cheap Childcare fees = $300

Allowance given to the parents = $400

Insurance for 3 = $400

And so, about $1000 is saved a mth. "! Sounds pathetic actually. And the sum frm CPF can only b acquired at age 55 (i tink).. Well.. Earning more is still better.. Goes to show how costly it is to survive in SG!

Been wishin for a placement in a centre near my home..
and well.. deres an offer at Compassvale..
In all, travelling time is reduced by 10 - 15 mins..
Not only dat, a dollar is saved on a day's bus fare..
Adds up to abt $250 in savings *ahem* (+spendings) a year..
But then again..
I'm more attached to the children under my charge..
And the people, they're fine to get along with..
What's more? 2 of my frens are there as well..
Oh dear!

First heard of Mrs. Fernandez's desire to dine at Les Amis in secondary 3.. She mentioned that a meal could set you back by hundreds.. But then, Les Amis didn't make it to the world's 100 best restaurants.. Instead, a tiny eatery by the ex executive director of Les Amis is ranked 98th..
Though Iggy's has no view to offer, it is a fine-dining experience.. 'The food is a light, refreshing brand of European cuisine, served with confident dashes of Asian, especially Japanese ingredients. For lunch, diners can choose the three- or five-course set meal, at $45 and $55 respectively. For dinner, only an eight course sampling menu is served, at $150 per head.'
Iggy's signature dishes: Shrimp Cappellini, Foie Gras Crème Brulee, Braised Wagyu Beef Cheeks..

Late mornin shift this wk.. Dat means 10 am - 7 pm.. And man, the last parent came at aroun 7:05 pm frm Mon - Wed.. Though it's only a couple of mins late, it makes a diference as to whether i catch the bus or not.. Coz the longest frequency of the bus is a sucky 20+ mins.. Until i found out i could actually cross over to the opposite bus stop and take a slightly longer loop service back to the interchange.. Wen the teachers questioned why i didn't record the late arrival of the parent, i juz managed a smile and didn't noe wat to say.. 4 late arrivals would result in a fine of $20.. I know dat parents haf to rush frm work to pick their child up, but i'm tired and want to rush home to rest as well.. To. @. and fro. work takes up 11 1/2 of 24 hrs.. Phew~ Neways, the centre is in need of money.. Field trips and events are makin losses instead of money.. zZz.. I can't let these latecomers get away wif it time and again, therefore, (note to self) i shall pull no punches in wringing dat $20.. BUT. it's easier said than done coz i'm too 'soft' to do dat.. >_<
Had to do the early mornin shift on Thur and Fri as the Chinese Teacher was on course.. Good grieves.. On Thur, i woke up at the time i was supposed to start work.. As i had the keys to dat side of the Bay, I was friggin panicky tryin to contact the clerk wif hopes of findin a replacement and dat fuggin sch phone wasn't workin.. Thankfully my fren was awake and contacted the clerk through her hp.. Of course, a scoldin wasn't spared.. Bleh~ The replacement teacher said she wouldn't go tellin the Principal in good faith of the teachers.. Never do i ever wanna cross swords wif the notoriously-known Principal.. And then on Fri, i woke up late again.. "!"! Managed to rush to the centre a few mins aft time.. Luckily the Infant Teacher frm nex door kindly opened the doors for the arrival of the 1st child.. If not for her, a complaint might be made against me.. You never know. Some parents aren't in the least bit compromising.. As a matter of fact, the clocks in the centre are a good 5 mins faster.. All these shift changin in a single week is makin me pretty unnerved..

2006-06-28T22:14:00.000+08:00

I can't be put on probation yet though i've been workin fer abt 2 mths.. The principal will get back to me again at the end of the mth.. And sadly, my temp pay is only $6/hr when full-timers get a fixed pay wich comes to roughly $8/hr.. Heard my frens commentin dat Diploma holders should be gettin the full pay already.. Tink they're tryin to stinge on my pay fer some time.. zZz~ Started my real full shift since last wk.. It's very very tiring to work at a childcare fer 9 full hrs (inclusive of a 1 hr nap break dat i happily embrace).. Too much trouble due to too many children, and young ones at dat.. The day's schedule is packed wif routines and activities.. We even haf a daily curriculum wif 2 hrs worth of lessons to follow and evaluate.. Besides that, we've gotta decorate the classroom, go fer trainin, organise outins, etc... Hiaz~ Parents spend way little time wif their child, ~~dumpin~~ *ahem* droppin their child at the centre at 7 am and pickin them up at 7 pm.. Poor kids.. I'm glad i had fun at home durin childhood, save fer the naggings and whackings i'll rather forego.. Heh~

2006-06-11T15:38:00.000+08:00

3 weeks had passed since i started work at the childcare.. Changing diapers. Feeding. Giving baths. Managing the class. and soon... probably Implementing the curriculum. It's a physically and emotionally tiring job.. Phew~ Since my inception, i havn't had a talk wif the principal yet.. Not dat i would like to haf a conversation of any kind.. But i dun even noe how much i'm gettin paid.. Heard my fren tellin me dat i'll be gettin a temp worker's pay until i'm confirmed as a staff.. She's been dere done dat, but couldn't point out the actual figure and her rough estimation of $6/hr sounded blatantly pathetic.. Wonder why but she seems to be digressin wen quizzed abt her current pay.. zZz~ All i can say is dat i'll noe wen the time comes..
Once my course commences diz wk, i'll be doubly beesy again.. Haiz~ Dats y i gladly immerse in wkend offs now dat i'm no longer workin as a NTUC cashier.. Had my first wkend off, or rather, any off days in a study/work wk for dat matter in a long long time..
And so... yest was spent in town shoppin with lunch at Crystal Jade Palace.. The menu was incomprehensible to me as i didn't understand the english version of dish names.. Apart frm shrimp items, i enjoyed the 'xiao long bao' and 'char siew pau' where the meat contained inside were free of fatty bits.. Yummy!
Next stops on satisfy-my-palate itinerary: Carl's Jr. Delifrance Bistro. Din Tai Fung. Uberburger. and more! =)

2006-05-23T17:34:00.000+08:00

One wifout any experience other than from attachments, i began my first day of work as a childcare teacher in-trainin.. Time passed really slowly though the shift's only from 8-12pm.. How will i ever survive in the full 9hrs shift.. Hiaz~ Havn't gotten up so early at 6am in a long long while.. If my shift starts at 7am, i'll hafta geddup at 5am.. Big yawnz~ I'm posted to the toddler class as the teacher is gonna resign in june so i mite take her place.. Unlike the more advanced cuties from year 2 attachment who supposedly came frm financially better homes.. This grp of children aged aroun 24mths old can't talk and thus it's difficult to communicate wif em.. The floor area was really big and bcoz the boundaries weren't clearly delineated, the children kept movin aroun.. Of course, I had to chase after each one and get em back.. Apparently among them's a runner who scampers off wif the blink of an eye and a hitter who strikes anyone in his way.. Today there was this biting case where one child bit another's cheek wich turned blue-black.. I'm shocked.. It's so scary.. Imagine i've to deal wif this wen i'm alone.. Facin parents and such.. Yucks~ 1 pair of eyes on all 10 children? The staff:child ratio for this grp is 1:8.. Mission impossible! I'll hafta to bear wif it for a min. of a year and a half for the sake of my course.. Argh~ I feel like crying tinkin abt it.. But for consolation, my frens workin in this line aren't gettin any better.. Still it's sob sob ='(

2006-05-15T12:00:00.000+08:00

Then was a sms i ignored.. Now came an official letter bearing the Ngee Ann letterhead askin me to pay my library fines.. I remember previously fines nt exceeding $5 need nt be paid.. With an outstanding charge of all of $1.20, i've gotta make payment by cheque.. Failing to do so, i'll probably nt be able to graduate.. Haha~ This is so lame.. So please pay ur fines..

2006-05-11T14:52:00.001+08:00

The Great Singapore Sale 2006 is cumin soon..

So it's wiser to hibernate in my humble albeit messy abode the next few wks.. X)

2006-04-28T09:56:00.000+08:00

It's the end of my fine stocktakin job.. the one where i tink i wake up early for.. the one dat sumhow makes me nervous or scared dat several toilet calls are made per job.. the one where i can keep tryin on Eve or Marissa.. the one dat brings me to places to eat. play. and shop.. the one dat i'll miss doin it wif my companion..

Idiot no.1
Noticed a sticker on a bag of chips dat read: FREE soft drink. while stocks last.
Couldn't find the FREE gift nemore hence tol the Idiot dere weren't any left..
Damn idiot personally didn't noe dere was a FREE gift coz he was lookin at the sticker..
Aft the transaction was over.. Bloody Idiot exclaimed he didn't wan the chips coz dere wasn't any FREE gift!!!
So my colleague tol me to juz grab one of dat item frm the shelf..
"!

Idiot no.2
Pathetic Idiot came to the check-out wif soft drinks..
Remembered he had to get plastic cups so off he wen..
Didn't appear fer some time and another customer came along so his receipt was put on hold..
Halfway through scannin her purchases, realised she didn't weigh some groceries so off i wen to do it..
Once i returned.. Dat looser of an Idiot exclaimed: 'I am in a hurry lemme go first'.
Watthehell.. Took ur own sweet time to get bac and now u wanna go first..
Aft wich the receipt was passed to my colleague to recall and close the transaction..
"!

F***in Idiots!!!

If u're such a miser, please PLEASE do nt cum and disgrace urself.. If u wan FREE gifts and more FREE gifts, i suggest u take a trip down to the rubbish dump and begin ur hunt dere.. FREEbies are guaranteed.

And if u are in a rush, please PLEASE hurry up wif ur shoppin.. As if i can guess dat u are in a hurry.. Mayb u tot i was able to foretell ur past. present. and future.. Well.. I can foresee dat u'll fall flat. dead. once u step out of the mart.. Fair enuff?

Wen today, i'd actually planned to take a nap aft my meal coz i was tired.. zZz~

My leg's still achin a bit.. Failed Napfa.. *Sob sob*

Was on our way to sch wen we saw a police roadblock..
Dere was a jam as policemen got onto bus by bus..
I tot it was a terror alert excercise.. My fren said dere was a criminal..
Well.. Found out later dere was indeed a criminal who escaped in a public bus..
He supposedly shot a businessman and tied the victim's wife and children..
Dats so freakingly scary.. How the hell did he get a loaded gun?
And why did he travel all the way frm Serangoon to possibly Clementi..
But if the businessman was an unscrupulous fellow.. He deserved it..

Was havin our lunch wen we saw a girl being helped out of the toilet by her frens..
She looked awfully pale and my frens saw her mouthin the word 'pain'..
Dey were concerned and wen over to ask if she needed help..
On the other hand, the girl's own pals were happily eatin fruits..
Soon aft, she fainted..
Her frens suggested a taxi trip to send her home..
The better advice frm strangers was to call an ambulance.. Gosh~

Latest news:
The businessman is dead.. The criminal is on the lose..
Beware of a plump man aroun 1.7 m and appears to be blinded in the right eye..
He is armed and dangerous..

Took moi NAPFA test on fri.. Before the 5 stations started, we were practisin on the standin board jump.. My legs started achin aft a few tries.. Diz time, we realised dat Gold was classified into three types - 5 being the highest, 4, and 3..
1st item was shuttle run, gt a Gold 5.. Gr8! Lots better dan 1st yers' mock test durin PE.. Yep.. T'was a long long time ago.. For sit & reach, was 1 cm away frm a Gold 5.. "! Followed by standin board jump.. Omg! My leg was hurtin n i didn't dare to jump in front of so many pairs of eyes.. Pathetic bronze.. Boo~ I tot sit-ups was gonna b easy.. Who knew it required so much stomach strength.. Stopped at 30 coz it was Gold 5 neways.. Managed to do 8 pull-ups fer a Gold 3.. And den it was the 2.4km run.. My stomach started achin terribly durin the 2nd roun.. Could'nt even manage a slow jog.. So i juz clutched my tummy n walked.. Persevered until roun 5 n i decided to gif up.. Time was up no sooner..
Damnit!!! I've nv failed 2.4 before! Let alone get beyond a silver fer the whole ting.. And now, i only gt 'Participation' as a credit.. Diz was one of the best 5 station results i ever got! 2 Gold 5, 1 Gold 4, 1 Gold 3.. 4 Golds! *Big wails* Blame myself fer nt xcercisin.. Nt only is my leg achin now, my bac, my stomach, n even my butt's achin too! ='(

Alamak.. To tink dat the prom is cancelled due to poor attendance.. Dere are abt 20 pple in a class.. My class has the best response, only 6 are nt turnin up.. "! On the other hand, the 2 A classes of abt 40 pple combined to present 6 turnouts.. Got money to buy MNG, no money to pay fer $70 prom.. Juz cut down on purchasin new accessories lor.. Make do wif wats in the wardrobe.. Simple calculation.. Yawn~ Save my money to spend on other stuffs den..

2006-02-07T00:12:00.000+08:00

My cohort came 2gether to form a prom committee.. Themes like: Masquerade, Hollywood, Gothic, Glitz & Glamour, Diamonds & Glitter came abt.. To my surprise, Gothic was in the runnin but gt knocked out by Glitz & Glamour.. Hoho~ Later on, it was changed to Glitz & Glamour Hollywood to make it a less formal affair.. Seriously, i wouldn't wanna spend a single cent on prom accessories, juz make do wif wat i haf.. Was fillin up the prom-in-the-makin survey form wen choices on the type of food popped up.. I looked over at Chew Fong and reminded her to include an extra vegetarian choice.. She was sceptical if it worked.. Haha~ It did.. Was told aft the hotel was confirmed dat the chef would specially prepare some vegetarian dishes.. How cool.. Btw, it's gonna be held at the Conrad Contennial Hotel.. Yep.. Owned by the Hiltons.. Does Paris ring? It doesn't cum cheap.. But free-seatin, i like.. X)

Omg.. Workin durin CNY eve is damn tiring.. Initially i was free but me n my big mouth, asked if i needed to work longer on fri coz dere's no sch on sat.. Den i was asked to work at 7am on sat.. Quite last min again.. Couldn't get up wifout a wake-up call frm mom.. The q was nv-endin.. Poor feet had to survive being stuck to the groun fer abt 10 hrs.. Poor hands had to keep keyin purchases n packin.. Deres a freakin lot of drinks.. However i wouldn't mind if dey were expensive alcoholic ones.. X) Sumbody bought $500 worth of goodies in a single receipt, the moz in my history of being a cashier.. Woopee~ Sadly, my helper-packers didn't stay aroun fer too long so i was left on my own moz of the time.. And boy! Aft i returned bac frm lunch, i had a stomachache n doubted nebody could take-over frm me.. Wats worse? I was the pathetic one who closed the last at 5:45pm.. Shitty last min shoppers. Endurance. Total earnins was aroun $12k.. Had an xtra 5 cents to deny me a PERFECT DECLARATION.. ='(

HapPy CHinesE New YeaR!!! ---'*.'

Aft goin thru 3 other members, dere were 850 words.. Nt dat i wanted to add nemore tings, but my fren was like pushin it to me again.. Since she had the intention of passin it bac, wats the pt in askin if i wanna do it.. So, as pissed off as i am, i contributed another 100 words.. Enuff! I'm nt touchin it again.. Y the hell muz i always b the one who slps so early in the mornin, or rather, late into the nite addin info? Sianzation.
On a happier note.. I scored 24/30 fer moi transcription test.. Hooray! I was damn freakin scared i'll flunk it.. Phew~ Sumhow i lost marks in placin wrong stress marks.. Shoot. See lah, nobody listens to me wen i'm practisin stressin words..
'features became fea'tures & i can't rmb wat else..

2006-01-24T00:02:00.000+08:00

Aft so many sems, it's the first time i started a grp assignment in ECH.. Actually, i tot the deadline was juz 4 days away n i cant work on it too late coz i've gotta work.. And den i found out the deadline was extended for 3 more days.. Wasn't payin attention in class.. Well neways, got it over n done wif.. Being the first is easier dan being the subsequent ones.. Usually ideas r given and the first person will juz type it out and elaborate a bit.. The rest haf to crack their brains over how to fill up the remainin space and do the editin.. Wen it cums to my turn, i'll normally hafta edit the references, it's rubbish my frens gif, wen we haf a guide to refer to.. It's really frustratin coz dey claim dey noe how to do it, but noO dey dun.. I'll b beesy checkin up deir references in the middle of the nite.. Yawn~ I still heart em nonetheless.. X)

Dear 98.8FM,
I haf a very big problem here. I haf fallen in luv wif my best fren's gf and i tink she likes me too. But my best fren is unaware of it and continues to invite me for their outins. I haf tried to absent myself frm these outins, but i can't stop tinkin of her. The last time i saw her, she seemed unhappy and she looked at me in a way dat could break any man's heart. Perhaps she is waitin for me to do sth abt our feelins for each other. But i cherish my frenship wif her bf very much. Wat would u do if u're me?

Hahas.. Diz is the pair work wif chew fong where we're supposed to pretend to b DJs.. We haf 5 mins to ans diz qns and another 5 mins to respond to 'live' 'call ins' frm the audience, our frens.. We were stunned wen we got diz letter.. Wat suggestion do we gif in the first place? Well.. Heard our frens gt a topic like 'the abusive husband suspectin the wife of havin an affair'.. "! Aft a whole aftn's worth of tinkin, i managed to cum up wif a 500 words reply wich only lasted for 3 mins.. Den aft more lengthenin 2day, it extended to 600 words.. Yeah! Well.. diz time it lasted 1 min longer.. Not too bad for me, coz i usually can't crap.. It seems dat i really enjoy doin diz.. =)
For ur info, diz speech in action is worth 40% of the module.. I still duno how i did for my 30% transcription test - writin the phonetic symbols of words, wich u can find beside words in dictionaries.. Yep.. Those weird symbols.. Mind u, the average Singaporean, includin me, dun get our pronounciations exactly rite.. Hence resultin in wrong transcriptions.. God Bless Me!

2006-01-09T17:38:00.000+08:00

Oh no! Wat m i gonna do aft i graduate?
Heard my frens tokin abt letters frm NTU & MOE..
Well.. Finally received one 2day.. ECH grads haf been invited to apply for the post of a Special Needs Officer.. The role of one is to provide support for students wif dyslexia and mild autism in mainstream schs.. Frankly, i doubt i can survive in a sch meant totally for chn wif special needs.. Aft we had a module on Psychology of the Exceptional Child, i guess moz of moi frens r tinkin abt tiz line too.. Contributin to society and makin a diff in young lives.. How saintly.. Hahas~
Durin attachments, we've attempted English/Mathematics/Science/Art & Craft/Music & Movement lessons.. Thus, i've xperience in plannin lesson plans for these subj areas.. Does it matter? Neway.. Being a primary school teacher was my wish since 7?.. Perhaps i can try for a spot.. But i'll hafta go thru sum EPT tingy coz my 'O' Level EL grade was nonsense, a speech is included innid.. =( Eeks~ In case u're wonderin, my PSLE grades aren't as bad as sec sch's.. Hehe~
Along the way, i'd oso wanted to b a Singer/Cashier/MTV VJ/Businesswoman/DJ/Psychologist.. LolX..
I'm interested in Psychology, many pple in tiny Singapore r too.. I tink it's a waste nt to end up as a Psychologist if i studied for it..
However, the best career i can ever haf is being paid to watch tv, play electronic games, eat, sleep and be happy.. =) cheeRz.

You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament

Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.

It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.

At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment.

What Temperament Are You?

Now gerls, dun go testin too many perfumes in a single day.. It'll trigger ur sense of smell to develop odour fatigue.. Fragrances r made of 3 notes: top, middle and base.. The top note lasts a few mins while the middle one is only obvious aft a few mins.. To get the true scent, spray on the forearm (nt on the wrist nor smell frm the bottle) and wait for 30mins..
Had been wonderin wats wif the "eau de" ting.. I've been enlightened..
:. parfums r the strongest scents n lasts 8 - 10 hrs
:. toilette has moderate intensity + stayin power n lasts 6 - 8 hrs
:. cologne may be for both genders n lasts 3 - 4 hrs

Btw, cyclists are NOT allowed to cycle on the walkway, neither r sk8 scooters permitted.. Offenders can be fined for this, as stated in an article by TST.. Actually, sk8 scooters are only for use in private properties.. According to Encarta (n.d.), a walkway is a path constructed specially for pedestrains, not wheels.. Imagine the irritation wen i hear bells warnin me to get outta the way.. These people do not even haf the courtesy to mumble "Thank you".. Well, i juz met one of these irritants today, but i wasn't abt to gif way.. Did shift a bit, xcept dat the bulky ting couldn't get through.. And den the damn woman was like ringin the bell incessantly.. Heard her mutterin under her breath once she managed to pass through.. Pisses me off like shit.. Wen i gt to the junction, i gave her a 2-letter chinese word loud enuff for evryone within earshot.. Dat shit even had the nerve to say she could be brought to the cops.. In any case, i wouldn't mind.. I! have the right of way.. But it's completely ridiculous to quarrel wif an ill-advised person.. How sickenin! There's more of these irritatin, rude, **etc.**, people out dere (also applies to the commonfolk).. I wish... I wish... dey'll juz vanish frm the face of tiz earth.. And to fill up the land, there should be more duplicates of me.. Muahahaha..

Neways, i'm docile unless being stepped on my toe wich i'll gif a free kick in turn ya.. =X

Caught Perhaps Love wif the gerls yest.. Wonder y? but my left leg always feels cramped in cinemas wif lil leg space.. There was a part where an actor dropped frm a high height and blood oozed all over the groun.. Somebody commented the blood looked so artificial and i couldn't stop laughin.. It was a silent laugh coz evryone else was quiet, and my seat was vibrating wif me.. I was reminded of Moulin Rouge, wich in my opinion, was more colourful, lively and engagin.. Tiz movie gets 3.5/5.. Nt forgettin, i had to carry aroun a roll filled wif 50 pieces of mahjong paper.. Freakin bulky & heavy, wat to do? my fren wanted to xchange it in place of my bag of art materials wich would be more convenient to carry in Orchard..

2005-12-15T11:56:00.000+08:00

Omg.. I woke up so late 2day.. Decided to skip class coz tcher's gonna mark me absent neway.. Well.. Been really beesy since sch started.. Final yers haf gotta do a major independent education project plus many others.. My grp'd wanted to implement our art activties in a chn's home.. Aft makin calls to almoz all the homes n gettin diverts, we couldn't even find a single one dat would accept us.. Seems dat dere isn't a need to volunteer services at all.. Hence we had to go bac to our attachment centre.. Tink i'm gonna fail my class quizzes coz i've been too lazy to study for em.. Gosh.. Didn't noe dey constituted a huge percentage of the module.. I'll get bad grades tiz sem.. shoot.

2005-11-11T18:07:00.000+08:00

How freakin fast.. 2 wks has passed.. 12 more wks to go.. Nt lookin forward to the day i graduate.. Eeks~ Used to feel otherwise.. Haf no idea wat i wanna do or wat i can do.. I'll definitely miss moi frens, food, even the lecturers.. Juz recently, my fren made a container filled wif cornflakes coated wif choco n rainbow rice balls placed in paper liners for each of us durin Hari Raya Puasa.. Cant bear to finish it up.. X) One of the lil sweetings dey do..
I've got 7 modules tiz sem n none of wich is examinable.. Woohoo~ But we haf plenty of projects to keep us beesy wif.. Hellofalot's due at the same time.. So dere goes my term break.. ='(
Had actually planned to go exercisin eva since my frens wen to Vietnam.. However, i'm nt motivated to wake up early in the mornin to jog.. Heh heh~ Haf nt exercised in 2 yers n NAPFA is cumin.. It's more abt health issues really.. Ms. Procrastinator has gotta do sth immediately.. Was finally supposed to jog in the mornin 2day but my fren was afraid of the spectators-who-were-havin-PE lookin at her.. Mission aborted.. Too bad.. =!
Dang. I'd happily forgotten all the phonetic symbols n pronunciation.. I reckon i'll b havin nitemares abt where to place stress marks n makin speeches.. Eww~
Dat bro of mine is havin his Os.. His repeated attempts at bringin keyboards n mice home were thwarted.. Everytin's been confiscated n kept under lock n key.. Somehow or rather, dat sly being has managed to lay his hands on the devices once and again.. Hence, i cant cum online as often as i please coz i've gotta conceal the whereabouts of the above-mentioned by nt drawin attention to its hideaway..
Oh n i miss Neopets.. =)
*Is dere any particular movie u're interested in watchin Miss CY?*

Been doin stocktakin coz I laze aroun too much n haf decided to earn more money instead.. The pay's a lil better.. =B Basically the job's abt climbin up and down scannin barcodes.. Had planned to try on Levi's stuffs but was too paiseh.. Man.. The Osh Kosh baby clothes r soo cute.. Too bad I cant squeeze into any one of em.. It's freakin ex too.. A teeny weeny piece of cloth empties ye pockets by 50+ bux.. A job's more fun wen u work wif a fren coz u get to shop n eat at various places aft work.. Heh heh.. It's bad coz it empties the piggy bank.. I only hafta work on wkday mornins.. But bcoz I get up early, I've been takin long naps in the aftn..
Hmm.. So far, I've been employed as a cashier, clerk, stocktaker, foc teacher and an in-maid..

Miss my old centre.. Tryin hard to get used to the new one.. The principal wen IKEA shoppin for materials n was supposed to return aft dat.. Thankfully she didn't.. Freaks me off.. According to her wishes, i managed to re-do 20+ seashell shaped tags as she didn't wan it regular shaped.. While cuttin the tags, i accidententally trimmed a bit of my hair.. I only saw 2 short strands at first, and then there were more on the floor.."! I've already decided on 6 activities for the math corner.. But not the science.. Presently, I'm stuck wonderin how to draw cartoon-like vegetables..
Neway, my 5-6 age grp comprises of 6 boys.. Dey were cuttin out pictures of food frm mags.. Besides commentin on girly plasters, those cheeki boys were lookin at models in bikinis.. X] Hee~
I shouldn't say tiz but in my opinion, the children at my previous centre were better lookin and more endearing.. =X Honestly.

2005-07-20T18:50:00.000+08:00

Wanted to do the topic "Fruits" a mth ago aft the theme "Food" was narrowed down.. Budden the principal said they did "Fruits" b4 n wanted us to do "Fastfood" or "Delifrance".. Sth like dat.. Fine.. Den planned lessons based on a "Restaurant" coz we didn't wanna teach unhealthy eating habits.. Today's the first day at the centre.. The principal wen on abt the focus not being on food coz we had planned lessons on stuffs like etiquette.. No choice.. Had to change the damn topic.. From "Fruits - Italian Food - Fruits & Vegetables - Vegetables".. Eeks.. "Vegetables" was the topic i didn't wanna do in the first place.. '_'! Hiaz.. I was forced into it.. I'm also already frustrated enuff dat all my pre-planned lessons had gone to waste.. She had to keep buggin me abt wat i tink i am gonna set up in my learning centres.. Goodness.. I need time to tink wat i haf to do.. From juz doin simple tings like dyein macaroni.. Now i haf to do more.. Freakin pissed off.. I mite need HELP!

Moz of my frens r goin to Vietnam.. I feel like goin along too, but deres a lot of tings on my mind to b settled.. Neway, the closin date is over..

sun - Workin at the manual counter was fine.. Like the sound produced wen items r scanned.. Dislike the redemption of vouchers.. Especially wen the pts r expirin n dere r idiots out dere who wanna redeem near the end date.. Serve em rite wen i didn't haf enuff vouchers at dat moment in time.. Complain, complain lor.. Ha.

mon - Btw, dunno who was the one who processed our bus passes.. It's supposed to xpire nex yer but lots of the yer 3s' r expirin on the 1st of july.. Freakin pissed off.. Gotta haf the date xtended.. Couldn't buy concession.. Calculated n found out dat travellin wifout concession is cheaper.. It's only a minor difference but i'm still contented..

tue - Dinner buffet at Sakae was filled wif flavoursome fried side orders..

wed - Stella n i finally popped by the centre fer a look.. It's the place where we'll b spendin 3 full days on attachment wifout pay.. Aww.. The centre's only a year old.. Quite empty wif little teachin aids.. Not many children aroun too.. Only 6 each in K1 and K2.. How am i to teach such a small class.. It's no guarantee dat evryone would turn up.. Had a 2hr tok wif mentor/principal.. She seems nice.. Doesn't mind spendin money on manipulatives if we need em.. She's oso willin to provide lunch.. Lol.. Our scheduled lunch is a pathetic 30min n Rivervale Mall's a 10min walk.. But she allows us to buy food wen it's the children's nap time lah.. Initially, me n stella planned lessons on fruits fer our assignment.. However, mrs. mentor requested dat we change our theme to 'fast food' coz the chn did 'fruits' before.. Omg.. We hafta plan evrytin all over again.. =[ It's not an easy ting.. Self and Social Awareness - an activity on "wat's ur fav fast food?" =O Am i suppose to encourage chn to eat fried oily stuffs '_'? Hrmph.

thur - Shall catch Lost 2nite.. Papers stated dat it's a cross btw Desperate Housewives n Survivor.. My favs.. I tink i'll hafta miss the show coz LOTR: The Return of the King is showin on HBO now.. Nex wk den.. Magic mesmerizes me ---'*.'

Wen fer a tannin session at Palawan Beach aft class yesterday.. We were havin a lousy game of volleyball as i turned my head n saw Ling.. How coincidental.. Den i soaked myself inside the water fer a few hrs but didn't get a tan though my face was burnin.. Thank goodness my skin didn't peel today.. I was really very hungry aft i got out of the water.. Had to pacify my tummy wif sandwich n tidbits brought by my fren till i got home fer dinner.. Cum to tink of it, dey're really quite thoughtful pple.. Dats wonderful.. =]

Got a shock wen i couldn't access my blog.. Tot it was gone fer gd.. It's fine now.. Phew..

Sch started.. My 3 days a wk attachment is only goin to begin sumwhere in July.. Woo~ I tot i didn't hafta attend the few days per wk fer sumtime.. Who knew the sch scheduled classes on those days.. Damn.. 2 over hrs of bus ride fer a 45mins lesson.. Heard dat we only haf a half hr lunch break durin our 9am-5pm attachment.. And dat stingy centres might not b providin lunch.. Watheheck~ The tot of eatin packed sandwiches fer 3 consecutive attachment days? Oooh~ Or perhaps try walkin to the nearby food centre? But time's up before a bite's taken..

Garbage girl has gathered: 2 cereal boxes. 2 cans of pringles. 2 packs of juices. She's so proud n her search is still on..

Wen to Wild Wild Wet wif my fren yesterday.. Only the two of us.. The two enthusiastic ones.. Hoho~ The rides dere r limited so i made a note to try em all.. My fren didn't wanna try the longer slides.. No fun at all.. You pay to play.. Dats my rule.. Thus i got her to try the miniature kiddie ones.. Thereafter i persuaded her to do the longer slides wich she eventually did aft a long long consideration.. =P Dere was a particular covered tunnel slide.. I was slidin in darkness n i felt stuck halfway through.. So i used my hands to push myself forward.. Now my muscles r achin.. And then dere was the 6 person raft slide wich the two of us attempted.. I was screamin my way through.. =X The only ride i couldn't try was the Samsung Slide Up, a 4 storey skateboard-like ramp.. It is under renovation.. 5pm. I wanted to play aroun longer coz i havn't been in a pool for eons.. Too bad my fren really had to leave.. Sure glad she had to.. It started rainin heavily while we were takin our bath.. =] Heh heh~ Sch's gonna start soon.. Dat means work work n more work.. I'm dreadin it..=[ Cant wait to c my frens though..

Pretty surprised dey had dashboard confessionals rather dan maroon 5.. Moz of ze original eng mvs didn't haven ne lyrics.. I've apparently sang enuff n chatted too much durin dinner coz i'm havin a sore throat now.. *meep* My left shoulder's achin frm all dat gear changin.. I'd unfortunately hit the pole once durin parkin yesterday.. I'm definately gonna improve.. *winks*

Nutin much to blog abt.. Been workin. drivin. slackin. nappin.
At work, a flushed face woman is constantly naggin n makin evrybody's life miserable.. Especially me. It's apparent frm gossips i gathered aft work.. Displeasures frm the staff members.. Fer the past 2 yers, she's practically pickin on me fer tings i nv did wrong.. I'm seriously very annoyed wif her..
The instructor's been cheatin moi money.. I'm one of the last to drive off and normally the first to return.. Wif tiz tot in mind, i was quite pissed off n wasn't payin much attention while drivin.. Didn't realise somebody was tryin to cross the zebra crossing at the circuit and wanted to drive past.. Wif the instructor's special brake pedal, he braked immediately.. Omg.. I was shocked n felt pretty guilty fer being inattentive.. Luckily the guy was cautious enuff to b wary of L-plate drivers n waited fer me to stop.. Thank goodness he didn't stare at me or i'll haf felt worse..
Eye for a guy 2 has been an interestin watch.. At least i tink Denise is hotter dan Rachel.. Howard's super cute n comical.. X]
