First time.

8 years and 3 days ago, Nazzer saw me for the first time when I was acting in an rg play lol.

So thankful that I'm still very much in love with him, and that he loves me back (:

Workworkwork

So I have my Ethics finals on the 21st but I haven't started studying cos 1.It's 10days away and 2.I did try to look at my lecture notes the other day and realised that the content is really little, though I suppose it's more of application. I really shouldn't take it too lightly though meh. It'd be awesome if i graduated w 1st class hons tapi mcm difficult like that leh :/

Anw this week has been reallyy tiring boos. Okay actually still not bad cos I had trainer work on Tues and Wed both from about 7.30 till 2.30/3, which I suppose isn't too bad..? But omg the lesson was so bloody dry I wanted to just kick off my heels and curl into a ball on the floor. I swear I'm usually a better trainer! Watching all those kids sleeping while I talked just really really crushes your self-esteem ugh. Nazzer also did the same job with me so I got to hang out with him afterwards, which was nice (: ...okay not exactly cos I kinda went nuts after the second day from all the sian and he was being a pupu as usual. But he made up for it by letting me use the massage chair in his house and fed me chocolate :3

Tuition yst evening was quite uneventful. Lessons back in the house again Yay! It was so noisy at the study corner downstairs and the little girl kept needing to go home to poop/pee and she's always so thirsty D: It's kinda stuffy in the house though, and there's no reception zomg. Can't google shit when the kids ask like odd vocab questions that are best answered with a google image, and I can't whatsapp or play games while they're doing work niuuuu! Oh and like their uncle or someth stays with them and he leaves his room shirtless, which is quite meh.

Had my second behaviour therapist tandem this morning. So much better than last week, thank god. I'm thinking that it really is a matter of practice, but I really need to speed up the learning process cos whatever I do will affect the kid so I can't anyhow whack. Anw my first solo lesson probably starts on Monday and I'll have lessons with him twice a week. I CAN DO THIS, YES! Scared nyeh.

Better start work on my thesis now. Supervisor Finally got back to me after like a month and is asking bout my progress, which is nil. But helllooo I've been asking for feedback on my previous draft so go answer that first before making me feel guilty bout my lack of progress pls. Ugh but I better just do some additional research now so I don't seem too lazy. Sianz.

Freen's parteh!

So freen's surprise party went well (: I'm not sure when we started planning but I think it may have been a good 3 weeks plus of discussing via whatsapp, fb chat, sms and dinner dates, tricking freen into coming over for a 'movie marathon', freaking out about whether freen would actually turn up, looking for the best present, hunting for deco shiz, finding a venue, inviting people, settling food, music, games and all the tiny details. But it was all worth it for that stunned look on freen's face and I think she really did enjoy herself so yay! Felt like a lousy friend every year cos we always don't do much for her previous birthdays since it's always like "oh her birthday's in January, we have time". Hope this made up for all the lousy celebrations hee :3

M & L were civil enough so tt's one thing to be thankful for hahaha. And a big big big thankyou to nazzer for helping with all the frying and drinks-making including refill and making kopi upon taa's request (such a random), and washing dishes afterwards. Eventhough I was all stressed out and snapped abit woops. Either way, my boyfriend's a keeper (: Also, the guests were awesome. They entertained themselves well enough while waiting for le birthday girl who was an hour late -.- and the enthusiasm for the games was unexpected but super amusing and very much appreciated. Awesomest friends we has (((:

2012

Wah blogger y u so diff now? Eh lol this blog has been stagnant for over a year. O.o

... anw, 2012 is ending in about 3 days and I'm not sure how I feel about the year. Before writing this post, I was thinking that it hasn't been very eventful but now I think I change my mind. K I'm glad I'm writing this, so that I can better appreciate the things that have happened (: Oh yes, firstly I've learned that I'm quite the anal freak, so I shall categorize my year in terms of school, work, family, friends, love, and.. others? hahaha.

1. School
Started 4th year in mid Nov and still no concrete plan for my thesis. Didn't get any of my top 3 choices but got J as supervisor instead. Trying not to judge her based on my prior experiences cos that won't help at all, sigh. 2012 in terms of school has been alright I suppose. Upped my game a little towards the end of last year cos I realised that I can't get honors by slacking. Last sem was pretty nerve-wrecking cos my honors depended on my grades but I pulled through yay! (Sensation & Perception ftw). Sch friends have been great as well yup. We don't really meet outside of sch but we had a chalet during the Oct hols (: don't get to see them much now cos a few are a sem ahead while the rest are taking their time, and one's graduated. Owells at least I still have some friends embarking on 4th year with me so it's not too lonely.

2. Work
At the start of this year, I went for an interview/audition thing to be a Speech & Drama trainer, in Malay, HAHA! I was pretty scared for the interview, and eventhough I got the job, sometimes I still don't feel too confident that I can do the job right. I guess I just need more practice. But for $60 per hour, I think I definitely should stick around heh. Only downside to this job is that the schs they send us to are mostly in the east. Sucks to lug myself all the way there just for 1-1.5hrs of lesson ugh.
I also started doing tuition this year (the autistic kid in 2009 doesn't really count cos I only did that for like, 3-4 months..?). Tutored 3 siblings in one location so I guess that was pretty good money also. The brother's apparently autistic (but since he goes to a mainstream sch, his condition is def mild) and he progressed from a single digit grade for foundation math to 70+ for PSLE hee! Hella tiring, but fulfilling :) I'm also currently tutoring a brother & sister, at a much nearer location (which is mostly why I decided to continue w this and not the other) and $40 per hour for 2hrs per week, best.
So with 2013 fast approaching, I'll be starting a new job as a behaviour therapist working w autistic kids. 'Child psychologist/autism therapist' has been scrawled on my whiteboard under Long-term goals for the longest time ever so I'm pretty excited about this recent development in my life heh. I've only done observations so far though (with a pretty long stagnant gap before this morning) but apparently I'll be working tandem (i.e. taking on a kid myself for the entire 2hr lesson, but with my 'supervisor' around, thankgod). I'm scared shitless honestly, cos the job has a steeeeep learning curve. But if this works out, then it's a great platform for my future, yes!
Speaking of future, I've been thinking that perhaps I don't need a full-time job. I'm thinking of juggling a couple of part-time freelance jobs instead, namely behaviour therapist, tutoring, speech&drama (this would depend cos I don't think I'd wanna be all kental with kids even at 30+, mcm weird gitu) and lastly possibly even real estate agent. I figured this would be alright since I can go under my dad's tutelage (hahah) and rj batchmates would probably be successful buggers who can give me commission :3 This arrangement would be great cos my work schedule would be flexible, which is important especially when I have my own kids. My kids must be my top priority. :))

3. Family
.. I'm not too sure what I should say here. I guess family usually does get taken for granted :/ hmm I suppose I've spent a lot more time with my family these days. Much much more than when I was in rg. I used to spend so much time outside and I hardly interacted with my parents and sisters. I'm so grateful for them now really. I love my sisters eventhough they annoy the crap out of me. My older sis can be so immature and vindictive, and my younger sisters are so mcm phm and freaking messy leaving their stuff all over the house. But at the end of the day, no matter how much we argue or say shit things to each other, we never actually have to say we're sorry cos it's somewhat understood that we don't really mean to hurt each other, and we proceed to do all the kental stuff tt our family does lol.

4. Friends
I suppose I should start w my closest friends first. I'm trying to avoid names just in case it turns up in google so now I think I shall just use initials lolol. L & M are still not talking to each other, which is partly silly but mostly disappointing. I hate finding out about couples breaking up because it reminds me how easily bonds can break. It has always fascinated me really how relationships (romantic ones, platonic ones, etc) are basically a fragile union of two individuals each living their own lives, hence they take effort to make it work since there's no way it can just magically work, hmm. ... Anw, I've also always thought that friends who fight/argue are real friends, in the sense that they know each other so well that there's bound to be issues that would matter so deeply that you would find a reason to argue. Which made me think that I'm probably a bad friend since I haven't actually argued with my friends in awhile.. and that kinda sucks.
In other news, I have no idea what's gonna happen for gradtrip or who I'll be going with, aigoo. I'd like to explore SEA though cos it'd be alott cheaper and I'm sure there's still a bunch of things I haven't done. Lol we'll see ah.
Hmm other friends.. Not sure whom or what I should talk about but I guess my social life has been okay (:

5. Love
So I'm still with Nazzer 7 years & 9 months on. Who would've thought huh? Still being a major pain in the butt. Not too sure whether he'd always been this annoying or I was too lovestruck to care. Speaking of lovestruck, I read through our old stuff and realised tt we were so goddamn mush ack. Nazzer now can be a total ass, forever telling me that I'm fat tsk. He can be pretty sweet sometimes though. Like running errands or spending loadsss on my birthday hahah. I suppose I could do a lot worse, so I shall be thankful lol. Aight so there were no major arguments this year I think? K just referred to my private diary, which I reserve for those times when I feel shittiest and need an outlet, and I only wrote in it once this year. I was pmsing though so I'm not sure if that counts hmm.
Anw, people keep asking when we're getting married. K this really really isn't gonna happen anytime soon. Nazzer's only graduating in 2.5yrs and we have like no money for a wedding haha. So yeah, give us another 4-5yrs? Lolkthxbye.

6. Others
Got myself a HTC One S for my birthday so I finally got whatsapp hahaha. Kinda tiring having to be in constant contact with ppl, but I think I'm quite glad for it as well cos it made me connect more with people I usually don't talk to. Oh I finally went to watch a movie alone recently yay! Wreck it Ralph was pretty awesome (:

Oh and I'm super super super excited that I'm finally travelling somewhere far far away! K not that far. I'm going Adelaide for a GK conference, which is like 7-9 Feb, but I'm travelling 6th till 17th hahah opportunist much. I'll be missing our family holiday to Perak though. Quite disappointing cos it's with my cousins all, but at least I've been there a few times and done caving and rafting already. Sis is joining me after the Perak holiday and flying down to Melbourne. I'll be taking the train from Adelaide to Melbourne, hee excites!! Spending 6-12th and most of 13th on my own, which is scary but oh so exciting. Trying to get used to doing things alone so that I can enjoy myself sufficiently while I'm there and not crave for human attention and contact or anything like that :/

#edit. I forgot to mention that I went gokarting with my family recently at Plentong circuit somewhere in Johor and the race course was huuuge! Plus we karted in the rain, which was freaking awesome. They gave us disposable ponchos, which was useless cos we got drenched waist down anw hahah. Water was splashing everywhere, especially when we went over puddles and when we're behind another kart. They told us to drive slower but uh I didn't really listen lol. Drove somewhat at the normal speed for the most part. Ooh I also loved the feel of the rain on my face! Reminded me of the times we canoed in the rain, shiok :)

Wokay I think I've covered most of the important events of 2012, and I'm very very happy that I finally wrote this whee! Quite sad that most of '09, '10 and '11 has gone unrecorded, especially since so much has happened since As in terms of new experiences. Ahwell, looking forward to an interesting 2013 (:

It's Saturday and im at home.

When was the last time i was home on a Saturday afternoon? =/

anw this week has been pretty interesting.
Monday: Facilitation at Gan Eng Seng pri, which was not bad. the kids weren't too noisy and they were pretty cooperative yup. Went home to rest up then met pri sch babes for dinner at Al-Azhar. btw the mixed grill there is pretty awesome. quite a huge serving for $10.90 and it was yummeh. Karaoke afterwards was lol stuff. I let lose more than i did with nazzer, which made me wonder just how much of myself that he still doesnt know about even after 5yrs and what that all meant. But i suppose everyone just acts differently with different groups, and just because I dont feel super comfortable singing in front of nazzer, that doesnt mean im not comfortable being around him. Cos that's not at all true, hmm. Anw cabbed over to diana's house afterwards with Macs cinnamon melts to wish her an early happy 20th (:

Tues: Mega bummmm. was supposed to go the gym with parents in the morning but we all overslept =/

Wed: Gym with mom and older sis. I drove to the gym without my license woops. anw gym was pretty productive. forced myself to run 2.4k on the threadmill but my timing was 5mins slower than my usual when i was in sch. Dad and younger sis took the mrt and joined us for breakfast lol. Then went home to shower and went for job briefing at 2. headed for cityhall afterwards for Breeks with na, taufiq and ari. havent met them in awhilee..

Thurs: Was late for my first trainer gig at vs and had to cab from Eunos mrt nyeh. reached at 8.45 when the lesson was starting at 8.50 O.o anw the sec1 bois are v well-behaved so it went well ((: got some juice from the canteen, which tasted horrible, then we went in Jeff's car for Mayflower sec. the other girl who was in the car with me was telling me that she heard that the kids were tough, but it was really alright in the end cos the kids were pretty nice (: although some of my class kids dozed off at one point, they mostly paid attention when i woke them up. LOL, fun la at least. and making money's really fun too :D

met sis afterwards at Yishun for lunch and to get some stuff for granny cos we were gonna go visit her. we hadnt seen her in superrr long and it didnt feel right so yeah. granny loves telling stories and some of them are so amusing hahaha.

Fri: i set my alarm for 7 but i never actually wake up to my phone alarm cos the button tt shuts it off is too damn convenient urgh. so anw younger sis came into my room at 8.45 to wake me up so we rushed and managed to leave the house by 9.10 (they take foreverrr to get ready). took dad's car to teck whye market to get chicken and some herbs cos i wanted to try cuz's damn nice chicken cutlet recipe. we were rushing quite abit cos dad needed the car by 10.

after we got our macs breakfast, i made my youngers sisters wait downstairs while i went up the multi-storey carpark to get the car. my parking lot was srsly tight, and i guess i overestimated the allowance and turned out of the lot too early and didnt drive out far enough. bloody car got whammed against this low concrete barrier thing and there's a dent at the side door bumper thing. anw dad was pissed and now i hafta pay half the amount of damages.

It's not like im a bad driver seh, cos i think i can drive quite welll..? but srsly im so fucking annoyed by how i keep getting into messed up situations when i try so damn hard to make sure they dont happen again. it's not fair when i keep picking myself up after shit happens and then more shit just freaking happens. in this case, after the suzuki swift fiasco of 1st oct where i hadta pay $350 for damages in a bloody freak accident (in an otherwise smooth driving experience for the entire weekend). I didnt cry, and i picked myself up and went on to look for jobs to get my money back. I thought "at least i've learnt something from this". and just when i've almost recovered the amount of money i've lost, it happens again wtf.

also, i actually went to the market by car cos i didnt wanna spend my own money on bus transport. -.- plus how is it fair that i hafta pay such a hefty price when the only reason i went to the market was to buy stuff to cook for the family?? UNFAIRNESS IN LIFE.

the worst part is how dad makes it seem like i never learn from my mistakes. like i Choose to drive recklessly. Yes i know im rough most of the time, (which btw is really just how i am) but why cant he see that im trying so hard to change? sobbed quitee uncontrollably for awhile in my room but i got over it, owells. sis got me famous amos to cheer me up ((:

anw left home after awhile to accompany nazzer to renew his passport (what would you do without me eh?) then we visited army market awhile and had some food yup.

Manhattan fish market lunch with jcu dudes and Buried afterwards. i thought Buried was really nice! not bad for a one-man show cos his acting is superb and i was srsly gripped most of the time, which is amazing considering how he was in a freaking box the entire time and he was probably in a studio or something lol.

Met canoe mates at dhoby ghaut afterwards for dinner at Sarpinos. it's so awesome to see everyone again, it's been awhile (: we got some strange bubble tea-ish drinks afterwards (no, not koi), which i thought was rather overpriced though i prolly would've enjoyed my drink more if i had chosen 80% sugar hmm. brought our drinks over to PS ljs cos selene wanted to get some food. teammates are <3 ((: Sat: ie today. woke up early to marinade my chicken. then spent the rest of my morning watching Community, which is awesomee (say it in Barney stinson's high pitched tone woots!) anw i was sleepy but i was too uh lazy to take a nap but i eventually knocked out. and i didnt get to cook my chicken in the end cos mom decided to cook cos i took too long. owells tmr then

anw i think i know how i wanna end all my entries from now on. (:

Revival post One.

Wow, it's been more than a year since my last post. Hmm so i've been saving my old blog entries in jpeg format, ie. PrtSc-ing them into Paint, and reading all my old entries (dating back to mid sec 2) made me feel 1.nostalgic, cos i srsly recorded like Everything, and 2.extremely regretful that i hadnt blogged for a year, esp how alott had happened this year ):

I wasnt too keen on continuing this blog cos 1.my blog entries were embarrassingly retarded, childish and self-absorbed and 2.i talk a hell lot bout nazzer, didnt i? DDD: but alas it was he who convinced me that it'll be a waste to stop blogging entirely.

anw entries from now on shall take place at least once a week, And i will talk little about nazzer or none at all (though i think it's super cool that i've had this blog way before we got together, until now hee. but enough of that), And this blog will still be all about me, simply cos the focus is to record every detail of my life for memories sake so lol.

But firstly, i just wanted to talk about something i've been thinking about lately. Y'know how we hear stories of infidelities, in both marriages and in less formal forms of relationships. When we were younger, we didnt think it was all that common, but im starting to think that perhaps it's just part and parcel of relationships? I mean, if it could happen to long and uh fruitful marriages, it's bound to happen in teenage romances as well. I've seen people whose relationships make it past these infidelities, and i've also seen people break these ties. I suppose it boils down to whether the relationship is worth saving in the first place. Im not saying that i take infidelity lightly, or that i would deal with it in a completely rational manner (dont you dare, nw) but im just saying that this shit happens and it sucks. When/if it happens to us, we should simply trudge on and not feel so alone cos well, it happens? But one thing we should always remember is that friends and family will always be around to give you the support and strength you need if you choose to salvage the relationship, or to help you move on (:

isnt it disappointing to grow up only to find out that the world is an awful place to live in? ):

Anw, wanted to share some super(not reallyy) exciting news. So i've been doing this facilitation job for 2 companies part-time, cos im having my school holidays now and i was super bored, and my supervisor dude called me today to ask if i could be a trainer for this other program cos he thought i was confident enough to do it, hahahaha! so now instead of $7/hr, im getting paid $20/hr. COOL SHIT RIGHTTTT :D hee and for my first facilitation, he made me do a school that was running a sort-of pilot project where the facilitators conducted a lesson in class for the last hour, compared to the usual facilitation in the hall with the entire cohort, cos he thought i was confident from his first impression. Way to boost my ego woots! k enough of that.

Now that wasnt exactly the comeback entry i was hoping to write, but a summary of my exciting year would take much too long though that entry is definitely coming in the near future yup.

K need to think of a new way to end my entries hmm.

excitement

haha okay so i've realized tt blogging's kinda tedious and unnecessary, which is why i havent blogged in awhile, but today was quite very exciteful and i hadta write it down somewhere, so here goes (:

woke up at 10.30 and rolled around in bed. freen nazzer and i were attending ms dilah's wedding which was within walking distance from my house. then freen texted me asking if she could come over to pray after the wedding. so i asked mom and mom said yes. then we were sposed to meet at 12.30 but of course freen was late and it was almost 1 already so i told my mom tt freen was coming up now since it's zuhor redi. mom was on the phone so she just said okay and headed for her room when i decided to whack it and,
i said: nazri pon naik sembahyang eh
mom: okay okay.. O.o.O Nazri?? Nazri pon pergi? (he's going too?)
i said: yeah
mom: okay mama masuk bilik (ok i'll be in my room)

so yeah. HAHA nazzer's face was priceless. and his reaction when i told him to come up was super duper lol.. yup after we finished praying, mom came out of her room and prepared some drinks and kueh and it was SO AWKWARD. hahaha on the bright side, she seems to approve. :D

then then then we walked to avenue 5 for the wedding. (where we passed a man who stared at freen like, scary O.o) and omgg we were the first ones there can? like apart from the kitchen ppl and other behind-the-scenes crew. so apparently it was her nikah day and not the sanding day, and the flockey ppl werent coming anytime soon and we hadta leave by like 2.15.

Then, nazzer was being all shy for some reason and refused to ask the guys there like idk something ah, then when he was finally going over, a man came up to him and he turned out to be close uncle (ie. dad's brother) WTG? HAHAHA. so ms dilah was his uncle's wife's niece. and ms dilah and his aunt looked very similar =// we sat around for abit, then realized tt it was getting kinda late so nazzer asked if we could go tmr instead, so we went up to say hello to the bride, and then went off.

but apparently now we're not going tmr. is tt like really awful? =/

anw then freen cabbed for gaiman and nazzer and i cabbed to yew tee where i was sposed to help dad with his viewing. nazzer went back to lot1 to study at the library lol.

viewing itself was rather amusing. there were at least 10 buyers who came to view the house, so dad came over to help out but in the end he was on the phone most of the time so i did alotttt of talking and smiling. so tiring. 2.30-4 and time passed quite fast surprisingly..

aight so updates:
Pertapis- finally made headway with pertapis yes. called em up last last thurs and i went over there on wed to discuss what nazzer and i could help with. they're making me teach the smaller girls how to read. O.o haha it's wonderful yes, but they dont exactly have the resources or teaching aid and i have no idea where to begin? lol i think i've got roughly two weeks to prepare so okay ah.. i should prolly start with an informal diagnostic reading test to see what exactly i've got to work with hmm..

Primary School reunion. HAHAHA- omg yes im apparently organizing this shizz which kinda evolved from our original jln raye plan. as of now, we've got like 20 ppl coming, which is an amazing achievement i must say.. hopefully at least 10 turn up ah lol..

oh yeah and im working for my dad.. i just gotta take his place during viewings whenever he cant make it, so basically what i do is go to the house tt he's selling and try to sell it to the buyers tt come over.. it's quite freaky but very satisfying when it's over (: And i've made $110 this month from like at most 4 hours of work? ((:

aight k tt's all. haha!

Fire Flowers (:

Haha k so i've finally decided to blog, after almost 2 months. so HiHi!

um updates
1. Happy Birthday NANA! (lilypad?) you've been extremely difficult this week (yes i must remind you yet again) but i hope you had a greatt birthday and know that the only reason why we go all out for your birthday every year is cos you're special and we lubx you so dont ever forget tt kk? -hugs!

2. Birthday outing on Monday was awesome fun haha! Dinner at Breeks then we trooped over to suntec at 9 where the shops were all closing up for the night. Went up to the garden rooftop and we camwhored like crazyy (think timer with 10shots at any one time) and then played with sparklerrrs (fire flowers!), which took a long while to light up cos they were old and the matches weren't very effective so we borrowed a lighter from a couple of guys there. oh but we took too long playing with it that they actually left before we could return it woops. Or they thought we stole it cos we ran off after they gave it to us hahaha.. yup then we went to macs for supper before we cabbed home. that was like the latest we've been out together at night like ever, finally at 19. oh and we attempted a group hug, which was total failz. lol we suck

3. I love you, Beth Cooper was Lol. Amusing and fun to watch i guess haha.. and omgz ticket woman asked me for my age and i actually blanked and had to ask na what it was )): yes then she asked me for my ic but she believed na when she said she was 19! andand the show's only nc16 D:

4. Finally finally got my Letter of offer from MOE. okay wait let's backtrack abit, basically i've applied for the NIE diploma course (which i got offered like in May, but i ignored. sucksucksuck), and went for the interview about 3 weeks ago and it went quite very well haha. so nownow i apparently hafta teach, january onwards, for an indefinite period of time, after which my place in the dip course depends on my performance during this period. ack. ahwell the briefing's next thurs so i shall try not to worry i guess.. oh but pay's great, heh.

5. Ramadhan! is passing by really really really fast. it's already the 18th day wow? managed to go to the mosque quite often this year, which feels pretty awesome so yay! oh and in case i dont blog again anytime soon, Selamat hari raya ppl! (:

6. I've been tutoring a boy from Pathlight who's the kid of a teacher back at Eden, which is my main source of income since i stopped working at Eden yup. Tutoring him is quite very tough but the boy's adorable and it's quite satisfying i guess? Pay's okay, plus i only hafta get outta the house for 3 hours of tuition a week plus 1hr of travelling time back and forth each time.

7. Guess what i've been doing with the rest of my time? NEOPETS! hahaha. am getting somewhat less addicted to it though, and instead am getting to the manymany shows on my ipod hoho! How i met your mother ish love! (:

8. Shuning and Yuhui left for US and France respectively, which is ): cos Jy's going back to UK again soon, so then there's only 5 of us left here. and Yz and Py are doing med, which means they're too busy to really be counted as herehere. =/ and yes okay there's not many of us to go around but they're still my platoonmates. not sectionmates -.-.-

9. i miss nazzer the bugger. rawrs at you

kk till next time~

(:

updates updates!

1. birthday came, and went, and i think tt it just gets less impactful as you get older.. not that celebrating it wasnt fun, but like it doesnt matter quite so much maybe? or i's just that too many things are going on now that my birthday seemed pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.. =/

2. the grand scheme of things:
i am not going to uni (shockshock!) and i was considering retaking As.. started on Stats only so far and it struck me that i Really dont wanna retake. and i have absolutely no faith in my non-existent ability to do better a second time round.
SO new plan:
a) Apply for unis again next year
b) if (a) fails, apply for NIE teaching diploma & consequently get a teaching job + take part-time psych degree at unisim
c) if (b) fails, i might go poly.
but then again i still gotta think this over cos im still not fully comfortable with the plans hmm

3. had quite some get-togethers with ppl these past few weeks, incl
-birthday threesome parteh organized by freen&na for melztaufiq&moi, which is greatttly appreciated (:
- birthday date with nazzer where we were so coolios driving around in his dad's manual car with the hand-brake up and rolling back on slopes. im such an awesome driver! =D
- lanning + SWENSENS! (l4D lolol!)
- SWENSENS + bumming @ py's hse & watching her discipline Snickers =/
- 5Aints bbq (SO LOL) started at 4 and ended ard 7, we're so exciting zomgg.
- crashed ncc trg at rg. my babies are so grown up nao awww. and why no more digging boots wor? ):

myexcitinglife@singnet.sg

lolk decided to blog for abit since it's my last time using sis' laptop after 2weeks cos she's coming back from china later today/tmr at 3am.. =/ kinda miss her i guess yup..

anw um exciting things tt have happened over the past two weeks since i last blogged:

1. got locked in at work. as in the whole school was deserted by 5.30pm, with all the shutters locked down. it was hella freaky and i hadta go pee to calm myself down, but i eventually got out of there by climbing a flimsy but not-so-low fence with coolios barbed wires, which got caught on my jeans and i clung onto the water pipes at the ceiling cos i was short. overall hardcore exciting experience. (: cleaner aunties found out the next day though cos i forgot to put back the chair tt i used to climb over woops

2. met monkey dudes a few times where we did the usual bum and watched I love you, man which was quite very funny and entertaining ((: wanted to get gelare cos it was a tuesday but somehow the citylink and ps ones were closed. i still find gelare's halal-ness dubious but i intended to have it anw, is tt terrible? D:

3. displayed our entire DLS project final products to the teachers and zomg didnt realize that we actually made a hell lot of things.. =/ school started again today and ((((: SO ADORABLE LAH THE KIDS! plus alot of the younger and cuter kids shifted up to the empty classes at my floor so now i can see more kids in the day when they walk past my class ((:

4. went JB with family and cuz to pick durians and mangosteens and rambutans (!!!) and other assorted tropical fruits at dad's acquaintance's kampong haha! it was awesome and yummeh and the dudes were really super nice! dad's friend's durian trees werent performing well so he brought us to his brother in law's orchard area which had so much more trees and awesome durians yay! okay basically trip was super awesome hee. =D

5. nus and ntu appeals: rejected. so now all doors to the main three unis are closed. it's like so final, it's quite scary. also kinda depressing and surreal and am in denial most of the time now. basically im now just charging forward into work and whatever else that can get my mind off this messy situation. cant really talk to anyone about it cos it's just gonna be awkward cos what can they say anw eh? on a lighter note, it's pretty amusing how ppl have broached the uni subject.. like how they start off with, idk my work and whatnots lol.. ahwell i'd usually just explain the current situation and act all optimistic cos it just makes it a whole lot less awkward for them, hopefully. but i really really do appreciate the concern they've shown so yar.. lots lots of love kk?

6. upcoming class bbq on 19th July @ ECP pit C21. it's near marine cove (?) where macs is.. meet at 3.30pm and bring $5! idk why i just included tt in this entry cos not many 5Aints read my blog but im supposed to email them today (but im too lazy) and in the event that they do read this entry then good. HAHA

7. i wanna get a couple watch! i saw some coolios ones while watch-hunting cos my current one is screwing up on me.. ): i figured since nazzer and i dont have couple shirts or rings (they're not exactlyy couple rings wor!) then we might as well get something practical, hopefully durable and well, pretty hmm..

kay that should be it. should sleep soon cos im hoping dad would let me drive to the airport later.. spore roads at 3am should be pretty awesome.. (:

swollen lymph nodes is cool stuff worx

actually nah painful and gross would be more accurate boos.. owells, HAI IM FINALLY BLOGGING AGAINN

blogging's getting really tiresome yes.

anw went for holiday to Jakarta then Bandung from mon-sat, right after my driving test on monday (YES I HAVE A LICENSE NOW BOOOYAAAAAA). anw trip's not bad, though i cannnotttt stand Jakarta for the horrible horrible traffic. the shopping's alright i guess for the low prices but the human traffic and haggling i cannot stand bahx. plus im not too fond of indon food so i didnt eat much, sad.. (cept for hotel breakfast on our last day where the chicken tasted totally like Kenny Rogers chicken, AMAZING!) oh but Ancol in Jakarta is quite fun.. the theme park there was rather interesting and indon ppl are very friendly and happening yayy O.o yup and the SeaWorld there is goodstuff too (quite similar to the Underwater world here cept entry's only ~4SGD phwoar). then we went to Bandung, where the weather was cooler and the shopping & traffic was so much less hectic (: we also visited a dead volcano, which still looked cool being dead and all, with smelly deadly fumes and it was so awesomely cold up there yay!

okeh and we sent sis off at airport last night for her exciting China teamskybreaker trip lol. (kinda miss her already but let's not tell her that hmm) btw Popeye's is pretty awesome, haha goodstuff =D

work started again today and omgg so lazy after two weeks of bumming D: anw i've agreed to extend my work contract until end july but with shorter working hours.. was sposed to do relief teaching but principal apparently assigned me to my ohsoadorable class again, which i dont mind of course ((:

haha just volunteered to help zr organize class bbq.. wonder how many of em are gonna turn up this time. (lol and i didnt even turn up for the past few class gatherings, terrible)

oh birthday's coming up soon, in exactly 3 weeks so everyone can go save up now worx!

um what else? oh and i still love my nazzer with all my heart after four years which is awesomely yay! (random mushmushmush)

time to improvise

okay haven't blogged in awhile mostly cos i've been terribly busy but also cos i haven't felt like blogging, and still dont, but since im finally online then i guess i might as well..

hmm so my days are mostly filled with work and getting most of the DLS project done.. workload's crazy and with half the manpower, im just swamped with all these work systems and adapted stories and corrugated boards and velcro strips and laminating machines that keep dying omg it's absolute madness! ): and im cramming as much work as i can like during recess and stuff and i dont even play with the kids anymore, which is horrible and sad. ): ahwell but im bonding more with my own class kids and i think im making quite an impression on them too yay (:

alright so i've completed all my driving lessons lessons and am left with revision before the beeeg test on 8 june, which is crazy scary bother.. oh i apparently passed my driving evaluation without me knowing tt i was even being evaluated! which is a good thing i guess? =/

anw arranged another interview with drG on thurs with my cousin who studies at a full-time madrasah.. quite entertaining and enlightening i guess.. =/ oh and im gonna accompany drG for interviews at Pertapis Girls' Home, where i'd be of more use cos i can converse in malay lol.. oh and apparently i might be getting a job there cos drG mentioned me helping him out with his research and all and they need young workers who "want to make a difference" and they inferred tt i was one such person cos i work at an autism school. O.o lol see how tt goes ah..

ohkay so uni-wise, i've kinda lost all hope of scoring a spot in any of the three unis so im probably applying for a psychology course in SIM.. they've got a january intake apparently so let's hope i make some progress there hmm.. not sure where my future is headed at this point but im determined to make things work, somehow

ah and it's tiring and extremely emotionally-draining having to read friends' lj entries in a totally detached manner

of a trip down memory lanee

okeh so i did the silliest thing last week, which i've already mentioned but anw yar ponned work for canoe nats. omg went polyclinic to get mc, which took over an hour and i thought i'd be late so i cabbed to macs and apparently race got postponed or something and thennn i found out tt i didnt need an mc cos it's no pay leave either way so my ponning work tt day costed me a total of 75bucks zomg.

but anww, nats was awesome. j1s/j2s (ack) did really great and omg gaby darling was IMBA. ((: 3rd phwoar she's even pro-er than me, which i must admit made me a teeny weeny bit jealous cos getting 4th by abit sucks ass. yup but anw really proud of them lah, they obviously worked really hard to get there and with 2 months less trg than us last yr.

i realize tt i havent been in a boat since my last race. hmm being at macs with teammates brought back alot of memories. sweet ones mostly but also the less than wonderful moments like our respective last races. i cant recall if i really gave my all, but admitting defeat after 1.5 yrs of trg was really pretty horrible either way and acknowledging tt i just wasnt good enough. tt i probably didnt want it bad enough to pull harder, faster than the other canoeists who beat me fair and square, made me feel guilty for having let the team down. thought i've put it all behind me, bother..

anw lunch with teammates after semis on thurs to celebrate prav's birthday was lol, and we denied an interview with a channel 5/newsasia reporter with two guys and a bigass camera cos we were busy folding paper hearts hoho! =/ cabbed over to macs again on fri after lunch and i asked cabbie to rush cos i needed to catch gaby's race and he drove at 110km/h yay! (:

starbucks with na on thurs was SUPER BUMMMMM then met nazzer at westmall before we headed for our driving/bike lessons respectively wooh!

flockey on sat was bloody hot, then dinner with family to celebrate sis' birthday was damn lol and yummy. driving again yst then lunch with pri sch best bud to catch up ((:

oh omg im getting really sick of my bulging tummy, it is so sad how much i've allowed myself to degen. MUST MUST hardcore but consistently do somesort of tummy-trimming exercises. hmm.

okeh and nazzer's gonna leave me for ns in brunei. HAHA IS SO SAD.

"nak happy face?"

okay i've tried to not think bout uni and the extremely low chance of me making it but god everyone's lj entries bout all their bloody interviews is effing depressing.

on top of this very depressing uni drama shitz, the eden principal's considering removing jerlyn and i from class support since we're short-handed now for the dls project and we're running out of time so we'll have All day to do it zomg. j's not too bothered by it cos she's been jumping from class to class anw, but i've been with my current class for approx two months i think and i love my kids and class support's like the one thing tt makes me enjoy my job so much and keeps my mind off uni rubbish. well yes i'll still see the kids around but it wont be the same yknow? dammit la. -vsad.


olivejuice// come back soon la you..

chiong

hmm k havent blogged in awhile.. last week wasnt all tt exciting either i guess..

sch's fun, apart from falling asleep every few minutes cos im trying to abstain from coffee and it is zomg difficult. work's just basically hardcore chiong cos jean & noo's final day at work's tmr and then jerlyn and i are solo-ing our DLS projects ack. anw grah gonna miss them alot but yar hope they like OT cos it really sounds like a v meaningful course hmm

anww, dinner with FreeNa at Breeks on thurs was Very filling haha! bummed at starbucks awhile afterwards. it's been awhile since i saw them last so pretty fun ah (: also sent phone for repair at sony ericsson shop and wanted to get my ipod but i only realized at the cashier tt i forgot to top up my nets card so i didnt have enough money to buy so i just grinned sheepishly and said tt i wasnt buying tt day. embarrassing.

but ahwell fri was good friday so i went to town with my two younger sisters and got my 120gb ipod classic for $398 hoho! then ate and shopped for clothes and spent another $64 on clothes. D: ooh and yay to limewire and nazzer's harddisk! i've got almost triple the no of songs i had at first and i can dl about 11 songs in the same amt of time i take to record 1 song wooh! O:

caught The Unborn with nazzer before flockey on sat and the show's rather dumb. flockey was awesome though, i scored 3 goals yay! anw before i changed out for flockey, i tried to look feminine again and wore some damn minah outfit with girly shoes and nazzer laughed when he first saw me. -sad. oh yar and i got 100% pure minah on the How minah are you facebook quiz and i was quite D:D: cos i actually answered truthfully. SAD! anw nazzer's 100% mat so yar ultimate mat minah couple ftw! our kid's first word's gonna be Sial. imagine that hmm

k driving-wise, i've finally completed stage3 and driving auto car on thurs yay!

Future-wise i think im quite screwed. uni uni uni pfft. when do nie apps close ah? if i dont get into any uni course, i'd prolly apply for special ed at nie. eh i think i've mentioned tt before =/ but anw if their apps closed redi then i might hafta take a gap year and apply for a job at another autism school cos it's very fun (:

okay thinking bout uni's quite depressing.

OH noo posted a video of her singing Meiko's Reasons to love you on youtube but she took it down redi. super amusing lol! and her singing's not bad hoho!

okay tt should be it. EH NO WAIT. Canoe nats this week, today till fri. mightt be going on thurs hmm

hmm i should just refer to the first half of my weekdays as School (cos tt's when there are kids) and the second half as Work. and anw you dont think of an activity as workwork when you enjoy it ryt? Work like i said has been draining but quite fun ah cos we're making concrete stuffs which is a refreshing change from having had to stare at the computer for many hours previously.

ohhh and school launch last fri was damn havoc ah. stress sia! and i was like watching over my boys alone when YL introduced me to an moe woman and i was all flustered and said some random rubbish.
"how dyou like your job here?"
"GREAT. they're good kids!"
-headdesk. anw check out Saturday's Straits Times for the article!

OH but i totally haaave to complain bout bitch man at work. which i cannot mention here cos i'd be in trouble if anyone at work read this. ): but i is not liking him at all and he's horrible D:

onward!

hi i guess i ought to say something bout my results cos i've been giving vague answers to the ppl who've asked me how i did. well to sum it up, i'd say Bad. not even OH TRIPLE A versus straight As bad, but bad. HAHA there i go being vague again. okay let's say it's a Bad i want to die cos my future looks really dim right now. (: sigh.

ahwell srsly la what did i expect? i was getting Us for EVERY SINGLE physics paper. i mean if i wanna make myself feel better then i can try to put things in perspective. like i can safely say that i improved quite alot for every subject. lol like that makes any difference.. and it didnt help any that 70% plus of the rj population got At least 3 As or that 90% got A or B for maths/history and many other subjects.

failure in life.

im still gonna try my luck and apply for all the social sciences at the local unis under discretionary admission but haha see how tt goes lah.. otherwise i'll go for special ed at nie hmm.

im very scared
