Hairstylist with an Attitude...

ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH...........

I went to trim my hair as usual... but becoz i shifted and a not so good experience before, i went to try out a new hair salon...

My sis and i finally decided which salon to go to... So we went in, sat down and waited for our turn... Almost immediately, the hairstylist came... She asked me wat type of hair style i wanted and i just told her i wan a trim... length slightly shorter, overall make it more neater...

She said ok and started cutting... After a short while, its done... Looking into the mirror, my hair looked like a very stiff broom... I told her nicely to help me layer my hair a little more and make it nicer and the length to remain as it is... She said she understand and she started cutting again... But she seemed very angry... And she scolded me too~

When i realise wat she did to my hair, its too late already... And the worst part, it is still ugly... I was at a lost for words... gave them my most black face, paid and went off... Shldn't have paid them lor seriously~ Sianz...

I had to spend another amount and go to another salon to RE-trim my hair... ARRRGH...

CNY without money SUCKS

Totally No Mood...

I'm so totally tired out.... totally fed up... totally mindless... dunno wat shld i be tinking and wat shld i not be tinking...

i guess i complained too much to the ppl around me about my job and all.... afterall i'm the one that chose this profession... not like the guys that had to serve NS... you guess have no choice... so u have all the rights to complain and whine about it...

i shldn't be complaining at all... i chose this path... however difficult it may be, i chose it... so i have to bear with it... alone...

Post honeymoon period Sucks... Crisis Sucks...

SR Nathan~

I was helping my landlord's kid in some english homework...

one of the question was to write out our president's name and his initials...
we have been addressing our president as SR Nathan... But have we ever tried to find out what does SR actually mean??

well, thanks to the homework, i took the liberty to do a search on the net... there is very little information on the net... but i finally found it after some time...

his name is Ramanathan S/O Suppiah.... That explains where does the S and R in his initials come from... Jus to make known to you guys, i'm not too sure either... i tink onli... :)

My Initials: "R. Lee" or "M.F. Lee"

Another Update after so Long...

So... Two weeks have passed since i started teaching...

So far so good... guess the rumors about teachers having a good life are rumors after all...
The life is super hectic... Meetings after meetings, so many SOP to follow... Troublesome lor...

Teaching is really a calling... If u treat it as a job, u will not last long... The CCAs and the House Practices all starting soon... Together with the remedials... i have to prepare consent forms for the remedials...

My class is not too bad... but i tink it may be the lower end ones... got some very good pupils lah~ but not many... i have to work harder to make them understand...

Its really shiok when ur pupil actually recognised u when u are outside... Hahahaa~

Well... I'm posting from my new place... I have shifted from my old place to a new place...
We rented one room... We as in me and my sis... Hahaa~ Kinda wierd... coz its been very long since i shared a room with my sis...

I didn't call starhub to transfer the cable line over, but somehow, there are internet... So... lucky lor~! Hahaa~!

Sleep~! Tml another LONG day...

TPP~

Teachers Preparatory Programme~

Learnt alot of things about teaching today... mentally shag as usual... quite alot of things to absorb...

Saw quite a few familiar faces there... Hwee Miang (Fren i met during PPT), a lady T.O. from NYP, and an admin officer at the old BVSS campus...

Also met up with Lynette, adrian's cousin, at the Teacher's Network... We talked a little about teaching and advised me a little on the DOs and the DON'Ts of teaching...

Lynette's husband sent me home after that, but i decided to go to school instead... I wanted to get some books etc etc to start my planning... But unfortunately, there wasn't any books or notes on my table... and i still don't have my teacher buddy yet... so i tink i'm pretty dead... Hahaa~

Overall the day was quite fruitful... Tml will be another day... Hahaa...

Firstly, Sorry for the late update... Was away at Aloha Chalet without any internet access... The Chalet was from Tuesday to Saturday morning... Den i was at my dearie's place until today...

Chalet was FUN but not Relaxing... Coz on Thursday and Friday i had meeting at my new school... Early in the morning somemore... I was super overwhelmed with all the information that was pumped into my head during these meeting... Hahahaa~

Hmmmm... Mahjong... Lots of Mahjong during the Chalet... We played quite small, but i still lost money~ When we decided that its time we shld stop playing with money, i won back... All of my loses... But not real money~! So Sad~!

Fishing... Did some fishing and catching crabs also... We wanted to catch alot of fishes and crabs for our bbq, but we onli caught 1 of each... Other den dat, we also caught a seahorse, a jellyfish, a sea urchin, a hermit crab and a mussel filled with sea worms~! Its actually quite gross... Well, it may be the timing or the wrong type of bait used... Wasted...

BBQ... For the first time, i didn't start the fire... Hahaa~! Alot of left over food as usual but it was all snapped up the next day when we checked out...

Chalet~! MORE~!
