Happy New Year

Random thoughts

Celebrated the first day of the year at Ting Tai Feng. Yummy xiao Long Bao. But the Yam Bao tasted just like the type of bao I made at home... eee.. The texture is bad. the bao is too yellow. still wonder why New York Times rated this restaurant as the top ten restaurant in the world (many yrs ago)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After this very long break, I really hate to go back to school. Haizzz... Have to go back anyway....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will be hitting 25 very soon. :""""( don't ever remind me of it. I have been on this earth for the past quarter of the century. OMG

D&D Nov Westview Pri



I'm the one on the right... My colleagues said that they thought they went to the wrong place when they saw someone in a gown... They thought it's a wedding reception... ( where's my groom???)

The food is not to my taste... Please don't go to Orchard P***** hotel for buffet...

Anyway, I feel that the dinner serves as a good farewell to my principal.. I bet that he will be enjoying his retirement. I can't wait to retire!

Toys

I searched frantically for my hello kitty toy which I just received from my Happy Meal. Oh no! I think I might have left it on the table at Mc. :"( It's a beautiful pink Hello Kitty.

Amazingly, even my dad knows what is Hello Kitty. He even collected a whole set of Hello Kitty Magnets from 7-11.

Speaking of toys, I found this on the internet:



People in UK created these toys to mock at people with learning difficulties. They are know as the village idiots.

Your Career Type: Investigative

You are precise, scientific, and intellectual. Your talents lie in understanding and solving math and science problems. You would make an excellent: Architect - Biologist - Chemist Dentist - Electrical Technician - Mathematician Medical Technician - Meteorologist - Pharmacist Physician - Surveyor - Veterinarian The worst career options for your are enterprising careers, like lawyer or real estate agent.

What's Your Ideal Career?

Will it happen to me?

You can say that I worry too much (hehe... when I have too much time I like to worry about things). Looking at my grandma, I wonder if I will be like her when I became old... She was wepting while telling us some fond memories of my late uncle (he died this year). She's in total despair. She's worried about so many things... her future, other children.... etc..

Perhaps, Erik Erikson's theory of personality is true... People lead lifes in stages:
Stage One Oral-Sensory: from birth to one, trust vs. mistrust, feeding;
Stage Two Muscular-Anal: 1-3 years, autonomy vs.doubt, toilet training;
Stage Three Locomotor: 3-6 years, initiative vs.inadequacy, independence;
Stage Four Latency: 6-12 years, industry vs.inferiority, school;
Stage Five Adolescence: 12-18 years, identity vs.confusion, peer relationships;
Stage Six Young Adulthood: 18-40 years, intimacy vs.isolation, love relationships;
Stage Seven Middle Adulthood: 40-65 years, generativity vs.stagnation, parenting;
Stage Eight Maturity: 65 years until death, integrity vs.despair, acceptance of one's life.

My grandma belongs to the maturity stage... Since she can't gain integrity, she's despair.. I want to help her get out from it... But I don't think I can. The only thing I can do is to listen to her when I'm free.

Hope that she will get out from her depression.

Holiday is really here!

It's the month of the year... Ho ho ho...

I love dec.

Recently, I'm very hook onto online shopping sprees. Currently, I'm just observing. don't dare to take any actions yet. Since the flop with CCT fashion (not exactly a flop, I think I will still buy from them in the future), I'm more careful when I shop online. I saw Xia's blog. She's so into sprees leh. Hmmmm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday, I visited Vivocity. My god! It's so crowded. I find the place very weird. Those shops on the ground floor are so high-ended. The chocolates, etc are so ex. I bet it will close down very soon. Looking at the crowd, I think most of them can't afford it!

unfortunate day

Yesterday was an unfortunate day for my school..

First of all, the principal announced that the new principal who was supposed to take over him has been transferred to another school... Don't know why MOE made such a decision.

Secondly, an old lady fell down other side my school. The kind sweeper brought her into the school. Guess what? She died in my school. My colleagues told me that she had already been sent away. So I happily walked down the staircase near to the 'crime scene' 3 hours after the incident. The moment I turned my head, I saw them packing up the 'thing'....

Unlucky

My poor students

My little kids will be taking their exams tomorrow. I'm so worried for them. Some of them encountered some family problems just before the exam. I'm sure it will affect their results.

Kid 1:
MCYS informed me that he was abused. This kids had not being studying for the entire year. Now that the exams are coming, I'm sure he will be greatly affected.

Kid 2:
She told me that she has some issues with her step-mum. Poor thing.

This semester is so short. I felt that I had not done enough for them.

Beautiful tops at low prices...

I'm ok

I writing this post coz one of my friends emailed me to enquire about my 'cancer'.... Hai... The thing is that the doc told me there's nothing wrong with me...

_____________

School is so boring... Luckily, the holidays are just around the corner. Maybe I will visit Aussie if I have the time.

I want to post pictures on my blog.. I bought a nice camera for JX. He told me not to use it or else he will kill me.. Too bad. Have to wait for him to come back. In the mean time, I'm missing him.

I'm in trouble

A month ago, I spotted some tiny (pimple size), colorless and painless lumps on my collarbone. I also have some on my chest. I checked it out on the internet and noticed that it can be an inflamation of my lymph nodes. It can signal CANCER!

I think I really have to check it out with the doctor.

My insurance agent bluff me... say that I will get a free checkup yearly with my policy... Now he told me it's biannual!!! Shit him

Life

Happy birthday to Pong. Give you 1 BIG kiss... I love you... Hope that you are happy in Aussie.

I'm so happy that I will be getting an increment next year. Somehow, the govt has answered my prayers. I will be using the funding to subscribe to national geo.

Another thing about Aussie:

So sad to hear about what happened to the croco hunter..

The fans of discovery channel will miss you.

Happy Teachers' Day

This is my first time celebrating teachers' day as a teacher. I received lots of little presents from my sweeties... All of them are unique. There are some unusual ones:

A card without a name

A very old staple box with a tiny note 'happy teachers' day.

But I simply love everyone of them

Starting to miss him

I start to miss JX...

So sian... The weekends without him. I just bury myself in the books and hopefully I will get something out of it. Haizz..

Later, I have to go for the National Day Dinner... Sianzzz... Hopefully, the food is good enough to make me happy... meow

My $168 hair cut

Today, I still in a bad mood. I'm angry with what had happened yesterday. Furthermore, my dad quarrelled with me today. After doing some work in school, I left for Orchard Road.

It's so boring shopping alone. Luckily, there was some great bargains and I managed to buy some clothes. I had been playing with my hair and I realised that it's really messy and boring... Furthermore, I did not clip it on, so it flew all over the place.

I walked into Icon by Shunji Matsuo at Isetan. Icon is like the more budget version of Shunji Matsuo, so it's gonna be cheaper. For people who know me, I like to cut my hair whenever I'm in a bad mood. (kk.. people do remember my squid hair, don't you?) I recalled my last visit to the salon years ago. There was this cute guy who cut my hair and he's so good in styling. Hopefully he's still around.

Too bad, he's not around. Anyway, an uncle came along to cut my hair. He suggested that I highlight my hair. kk, my hair was limp, so I decided to give it a try.

Oh no it's a bad move!

After all the hard work and the long wait (he was serving two people at the same time!), I don't seem to see much color after all. And after the GST and treatment, it costed me $168!

The hair does look better. The problem is that I don't feel $168 better. Haizzz...

What's the moral of the story, don't think that spending money is going to make you feel better. Secondly, don't ever do things on impulse.

Wow.. It's been so many days since I last blogged... I didn't blog because I don't have a camera... And I think that it's boring to have a blog with no pics. What to do? My bf is not around liao... He's in Aussie land..

Really quite busy with work and studies. I can almost drop dead any moment. Jiro asked me if I call the parents regularly? Not really lar... some parents do call me often. I don't really mind, as long as they don't complain to my sch but complain directly to me.

Currently, I still think that the workload is manageable.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I will be selling Rojak for the racial harmony day.. So long.

I had not been updating my blog for sometime. Many things are going on in my life and I just don't seem to have the time to blog about it. First it was the trip to Hat Yai and then it was the staff retreat at orchid country club. I took many photos using my bf's cam and my hp... But so far he had not given me the photos. The school holiday was fun and how I wish that it can last longer!

Found meaning in my job

Previously, I don't really like my job. I thought that it is going to be lesson plans and lesson plans. But now as a full-fledged teacher, life is totally different. I became more competent and I can actually do things that I really want to do with the class. Being the form teacher of a class is a brand new experience.I get to see the same kids for aalmost the entire day. I really enjoyed their company.

I realised that I play a very important role in their life. They are very poor in their studies and I will have the power to change their destiny.

Hope that I will continue to enjoy my life in school :)

Just got back from Hat Yai (Thailand)...

Wow I look like so many people...

I run my photo on the face recognition website - www.myheritage.com and I get so many diffferent results.



Using my passport photo, the percentage of resemblance is only between 61% to 48%... Which is relatively low. And most of my lookalikes are not really good looking.. so that means I'm not good looking lar... KK I knew it. Most of my lookalikes look intelligent... so does it mean that I'm smart?

But I tried the same website and used a very different photo which only shows my profile, I get a very different set of results.



This photo yielded more results and notice that this time round my lookalikes are more beautiful (hahaha) and the level of resemblance is also higher. Those highlighted in green are the celebrities that resemble me (the computer said so... not me). Both Grace and me resemble Rita Hayworth. Maybe my profile is more beautiful that's why the results are better LOL... Wow... I'm even look a bit like Lee Yong Ae...

Don't know how the flash works... I supposed that they just think that all asian faces looks alike... I used another photo and they even think I look like Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.

NIE Dinner and Dance

I went to the NIE dinner and dance. It's like my very first 'prom'. back then when I was in sec sch, there wsn't any prom and when I was in poly, no one wants to go. This might be my first and only prom. hahaha. Only a few people attended. The graduating students from dip ed only managed to fill up one table.

The first surprise of the night.



Saw the girl on the left... Her dress is sexy... Very low cut. In this pic u can't see much... But in actual fact, the front cut is all the way to her belly.


Here's her back. I think I saw the same dress on MTV or something... But never thought that someone will wear it other than for clubbing.


Here's Joan acting cute and asking for a fav from me. She wanted me to go for the pageant on her behalf... crazy... she's prettier than me lor. She's just too shy.


The dinner is a bit boring, even when there's some 'games' and a live band there. so We tried to entertain ourselves at our table.



Jeann making a fool... LOL
