the way we are

 

 

hot plate dinner at zoe's followed by nwuaghing session on the unclean side of her bed (she refused to let us touch her CLEAN bed, we're all squashed at her sister's bed). shall wait for the photos to be up on fb. and my reputation shall be ruined (again, as usual. sigh)


love u babes;)

quit your job and climb a tree, one with hearts instead of leaves

 

the first home-grown flower from my mum's rose plant!! so pretty

went for sentosa trip with my class on tues. OMG. my legs were like jelly after walking from the drop off point to the outside of universal studios to the merlion to butterfly park to pick up point. here, pictures tell a thousand words (but cannot fully describe my exhaustion)

 

 

 can you see the neat row of children on the left? yea, that's another (well-behaved) class. you see the one fidgeting and posing? that's my class.

tried to take class photo with them, but they are really, really restless. but ironically i'm the one who looks distracted.

finally i decided i'm the one who has to look at the camera, and this boy walks over to complain to me about his friend walking over his bag (or smth)

 

okay time for some close ups of my cute students - check out the cute boys (yes there is a lack of proper eye candy at my workplace, see what i resorted to)

 

 (actually the red cap person is a girl, she just cut her hair)

 

 

<3 <3 <3

they look so much cuter when i'm NOT teaching them in class.

exciting new things!

this is my new top i bought for CNY! so festive right! babe on the left is my all-time camwhore best-y cuz we look good in photos tgt :D

 we went to andre's on 3rd day of CNY for lunch and pictionary and sincerely had a good time:) this is melyssa my ever-changing and mia-ing bff. i think she was going for the katy perry look. only u can carry such scary brows and look cool la mel

 

this is just to show off my grey lenses!!! not bad right. but quite uncomfortable at first. but not obvious unless i keep opening my eyes like that.

 

see when i take picture with my handsome brother you can't tell my eye colour's fake right? haha

anyway i wore it for the first time on sat during the MIMBY event which ryan and LL came for (i think they secretly hate me but they're too nice to admit it)

oh well. sorry ryan there was another pic which u looked better in but i look better in this one! haha
 

 

gravity

 

something always brings me back to you

it never takes too long

no matter what i say or do

i still feel you here till the moment i'm gone

set me free

leave me be

i don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

here i am

and i stand so tall

just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me

sara bareilles has such a gorgeous voice :) she doesn't look like how she sounds though haha. can't have it all!

my hair smells like strawberry bubble gum

i'm using my sister's hair conditioner but i think i better buy my own before she realizes it's depleting faster than usual! it smells really yummy tho :D

went out with yani and her friend for coffee and late evening chat, and i realised that i must seem really YOUNG to the world of working adults. it doesn't help that i was pretty tired and i started being enthu and animated to engage myself in the conversation, which looks rather bimbotic and YOUNG actually.

but honestly i like being the age i am now, and i don't think i want or need to act older than my age to get along with my colleagues or friends of colleagues. but what i want and need is to be and LOOK professional when i'm working. now that's an image i'm not too sure how to create....

DMSing

PMS (pre)

DMS (during)

PMS (post)

technically there's no break time to be non-hormonal and happy so seize the happy moment with a lady when you can.

cheers guys!

sore throat

i'm losing my voice! blame it on my unhealthy lifestyle during the long hols - late nights, crazy diets, etc. and totally did not help when i screamed at my kids today :( i'm such a terrible teacher i know! like real pro teachers they don't even have to raise their voice to get their class' attention (but then again, they don't send the pro teachers to the moderate IQ class, and such pupils aren't as sensitive to the teacher)

had some crazy shopping with taariq and wan ting at tamp!! we met for dinner (food court, Thank Goodness) then we went round buying stuff i've been waiting to get

1. working clothes! TM had G2000 bazaar, bought $19 blouses *screams for joy*

2. my earphones!!! yay it's this green btw

3. coloured contacts! they didn't have brown in my degree so i got grey and green, 2 for 2, shared with taariq. only monthly tho:/

4. strawberry milk bubble tea. haha ok so i wasn't dying to get this but i wanted to add another item in red so the list looks nice:D 

okie doke my clothes are done washing so i'm gonnahang them and sleeeeep! gotta wake up early for remedial tmr :( 

 

stuck on taylor swift!

you don't have to call anymore

i won't pick up the phone

this is the last straw

don't wanna hurt anymore

and you can tell me that you're sorry but i don't believe you baby like i did before

you're not sorry

oh no

so heartbreaking right! taylor swift is really a talented artist. i mean she can make bimbotic teenage breakups sound just like it is at the time - heartwrenching. but it's true that when u get older you just look back and laugh at how silly it all was:)

looking forward to being 20 and putting away all my childish ways!

wait a little longer, silly romance.

looking forward to hall 5

 

me and my handsome brother on his bday celeb last thurs!:)

sorry i've been so lazy to post during CNY!! kinda creepy cuz i found out my friends actually read my blog (and i didn't know) then i realised it could be read by like anyone and i wouldn't know who. all you creepy stalkers!! (actually FB's more stalkery but its not as creepy somehow)

interestingly i felt that there was more time this CNY, probably cuz it coincided with the weekend so it just felt like an extended weekend. i watched like 3 korean shows in 2 days, 2 on mio home movies and one on chU, i'm seriously hooked. gonna take me awhile to get out of the holiday mood :(

and i haven't finished my marking!! sighhh...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

celebrated my big bro's bday today!! ironically it's actually my dad's birthday today. my bro's bday was yest, but he had another appt so the girls went for dinner with my dad yest instead. haha strange yes! 

my dad's in the background in the pic above (the white hair smiling person) and my bro's in pink. if you look closely you can see the similarity in the smile and eyes!! 

see it's so fun to have 2 younger sisters to disturb you right kor!

 

 daddy's girls:)

now i realise how short my self-trimmed bangs were.

happy birthday dad and kor, love you both many many:)

marking overload

this is a picture i snapped while cycling home on tues along tamp ave 8, nice right? the field looks orange cuz of the street lights. but what caught my eye was the greenery against the backdrop of a late sunset sky... my favourite:)

this have been pretty hurried this week, i'm trying to finish up my marking and my lessons cuz we're missing 2 whole precious days of periods due to CNY. and i've been feeling so tired since monday! honestly i think the weekend was no rest for me:( i think i should slow my weekends down and take the time to really rest, not stuff it chock-full of activities like i always do. this weekend's gonna be busy again, but at least i get to hang out with my family, some good quality time:) i'm really glad that i have cool siblings i can talk to, if not every family reunion would be a terrible bore!!

bought a very festive red dress today after my dad's birthday dinner! and tmr gonna celebrate my bro's bday, steamboat again-.-''

outstanding to-dos:

1. jan rl

2. transfer $$ to shell

fascinating!

 

busy day today and i am seriously sleep deprived! amazing how my contact lenses and adrenaline could last me from 8am-1am. 

but it was good, especially the outing with untouchables-cum-farewell for lima. it's pretty amazing how much could be said in one night. and i'm again reminded why they're called untouchables - all these rich and intelligent people!! what's more amazing is how we can all converse even after about a year of not meeting up.

oh and badminton with ryan h was pretty cool too, he corrected my badminton and i think i did improve after about 3 hours of play. thank you ryan!

ok totally falling asleep at the com, update soooooooooooooooon!

sooo dead

 

dunno why i've been sleeping so late this whole week:( 

been home late every night so horrible right. keep waking up late and i'm (as usual) behind on my marking, my poor students.

brain too tired to process........... 

i blame it on the late night chat with LL yest. but its ok its worth it i miss her!

outstanding:

JAN RL

TYMT09 reflection

songs for this sat

my hundred piles of crazy marking to complete!

i'm waiting for the laundry again

evidence that it's late at night:

1. messy hair

 

2. grandma nightgown
 

3. oily face/tired eyes

4. tired enough to let my narcissistic self out - here's to show off my just threaded brows :D

trust me i took enough photos to make my camwhore shi-fu (who else but ACKM) proud...

here's a gem i found thumbing thru the photobooth album:

 

maybe it's true that i look younger in short hair!

you know cuz i'm using my bro's mac, there's a load of pics in his photobooth that are of him fiddling with the app (aka camwhoring which my v man bro will never admit to). this is the handsomest and least incriminating photo i can find: 

 

well done kor!

i made 2 new friends: ryan and gordon:)

 

honestly i'm running out of pictures to upload. but i thought these little guys were cute!

i'm seriously bruised from floorball! i've one on each knee and one on my left thigh and one old one on my shin near my ankle. it's the painful kind that i keep brushing against when i walk or sit or turn in my sleep:( but the most irritating injury i have is my sprained right index finger from my lousy attempt at a handstand (i asked ning to teach me, its for the gym component of my pe test). i'm pretty used to spraining fingers but realised its a first for my right index. it's such a pain!!! i can't write or mark or draw or grob chocolate raisins from a jar properly:( oh but surprisingly i can type just fine. 

heh ok i think i sound pretty whiney (must be from my monsters in class) but just to assure all those well-meaning concerned people who have been entertaining my whinings, my finger's fine! it's very slight, the sprain. will be ok in time for training on sat. maybe not for floorball though heh. cuz i hold the stick wrongly and use my finger to control it, which hurts ALOT. okok i'll stop whining!

 

 

strong and independent!

 

did a very independent girl thing on saturday!

went katong all alone after training cuz it ended early and my 3pm meeting was cancelled so i had like 4 hours to kill. called like half a dozen people but no one's ever free on sat aftn:(

did my eyebrows (FINALLY!!) and OMG I JUST REALISED I BOUGHT 2 BANANA PIES FOR MY PARENTS BUT I LEFT IT SOMEWHERE IN CHURCH - it was from this famous old-fashioned bakery shop opposite the threading place where i did my brows. SO SAD MY PARENTS <3 THAT PIE AND I WASTED $4 :(

 

i wandered around katong waiting for taariq to finish his dental but it was so hot and i was so hungry i just had lunch alone, so sad and lonely right!! hahaha but my sis said i should be strong and independent. guess i just felt like socialising... (ok la in the end i met taariq so i didn't spend the whole aftn alone haha)

ok my laundry's safely in the dryer so i can go sleep now!! must get the sleep early routine this week if not i'll suffer the whole week.

i keep eating chocolate! :/
