A super duper long day...

Today started out at 5.30am when i woke up to get ready for an excursion... We are the facilitators, leading a big group of P1 students... The kids are so irritatingly adorable... Hahahaa!
We had fun at Changi Airport, doing the activities together... By the time we finished and reached back at their school, its already 1pm!

4 of us shared cab back to our school where we had lunch and went off for another project meeting... Personally, i dun tink we made much progress today... Except that i suddenly realised i have ALOT of work to complete by the end of E-Learning Week...

After the lessons, we had to go for ICG... This week is Badminton, my class is the convenor or organisers for this event... Today was a TOTAL MESS... Why? Lack of Courts, Lack of Umpires, Lack of Ppl!!! BUT... It was still a good day...

I realised that under pressure, i started talking CRAP during the games... Serious CRAP... True feelings were seen as sacarsm... Played horribly... Dunno wat actually went wrong... I'm starting to think that i really can't make it in sports...

I know i am bossy by nature and i'm trying to improve... But sometimes, its really really difficult... Especially when you really have to get things done... Hiaz... What to do? Class Rep has always been a good guy bad guy person altogether... Its a trade-off (i just learnt that from Dr Kim's class) If i wan things done, i have to become bad guy...

Why is it that some ppl have a natural sense of humour, no problem with social relations, know how to choose the right words to say? I also want to be laid back... But being a perfectionist, how can i do that?? Can i blame my diploma for making me a perfectionist? Can i blame my parents for my upbringing? Or do i just blame myself and suffer in silence? Who can i blame for making me such a negative person? Why must i offend ppl?

Who can i talk to when i have troubles or feel like crying? Who can i confide my feelings in without being judged? I can only cry in a corner, hoping that no one sees and just wait for the sad feelings to go away...

So much for being a LONG day...

Did too much, now very shag~

Finally finished a project that was meant to be very simple. But we ended up doing too much~ Such that i tink it looked fantastic, but may have lacked content? I dunno man, but all i knew is i spent too much time on it and i didn't sleep at all on thurs nite... Friday was an early school day and i slept super late becoz i went to celebrate a fren's bday... Tink it was about 36 hours of no slping... In the end when i finally slept, i slept for like 16 hours straight... Occasionally waking up to reply to smses... Hahaha!!

Monday i have another reflection due and yet i have not started at all... Tml will be a LONG day for me~ So many projects to work on and so many reflections to do... I'm always complaining about being tired, both mentally and physically, but i guess i can only blame myself...

Alright, think i'm sleeping early again tonight and tml i will finish my work!

Jiayou~

Wats a Laptop without Battery?

Can't believe it. I went to michelle's house to do project, happily packed my stuffs and my laptop. walked all the way there, only to realise that i didn't bring the battery pack for my laptop... So i carried it all the way there and its useless!! ARRGH~ So angry with myself~ This is worse den forgetting to bring my specs out~

But we still manage to finish one of the project... Many more work to complete this weekend... So overloaded becoz i've got poor time management~ Grrrr....

DIE LIAO~

New Shoes and Shorts!

Went to queensway shopping centre during my 5 hour break to get my soccer boots~ need it for soccer module... Bought this silverish white lotto boots with blue logo... Very nice... But the size seems a little bit big... But no choice, no more sizes already~ I'm wearing UK size 4 lo~ So irritating... Haf to buy kids size... But apparantly, the price is the same as my fren's pair, but her's is adult size... Kids size is supposed to be cheaper lo~ Hahaa~ But still a good buy i think~

I was so tempted to buy another design... but its too ex! 80 bucks for a module that onli lasts 1 sem? Not worth man~ How often will i get to play field soccer?? Not very... So end up buying the one described above for 39 bucks~

We went to another shop to see see look look once our objective is cleared! Bought 2 pairs of shorts~ Addidas 3 stripes Chelsea. Black and White... Very nice and standard~ Cost only 28 bucks each~ Very worth it~ Usually you can get it only above 35 bucks~

100+ bucks gone but feeling happy!

Happy National Day!!

Its national day eve today and tml will be singapore's 42 birthday!! Actually its nothing much but this year is pretty different... NDP is held at marina bay this year, Singapore National Stadium will be knocked down soon... So Sad! Well, no choice, they can give up the national library for a new road, wats a national stadium? so much for keepin our heritage... But i guess there is no choice, we do not have any other space for a SPORTS HUB~ Yupz, so we can onli look forward to the new stadium ba~

Happy National Day~!

Timetable...

I know this may not sound nice for some ppl but i'm still going to blog it anyway~ Haha~

Four facts...
1. pri track have less modules den sec track...
2. most ppl haf outside commitment... moe force one lor... coz we are not paid during 3rd and 4th year...
3. we do not get to schedule our own timetable...
4. our core duty is to study now...

With this 4 facts i'm going to talk abit on my opinion.... Its purely what i tink and feel without prejudice...

Today has been a long day for me... And there has been alot of mess in the scheduling of the timetable for some of my frens... I went to the office to join the crowd as the others tried to "battle" it out for better timeslot...

The initial objective was for a good cause... To see if anything can be done for our frens that have clashes in their timetable... But it later became an ugly scene when the group of us started to adjust the timetable hoping to suit our own needs... Going home earlier... Less gaps inbetween lessons.... That sort of thing... Although i said i'm ok with anything but i'm quite worried that after adjusting, i will end up starting early, ending late with lots of free time in between...

But then again... If goes by majority votes, i tink a few of us will always be at the losing end... And i jus realised, i tink i didn't use any of my 4 facts in this blog~ Hahaa~

Compromise lo~

Back from FOC... Mentally Shag~

PE FOC was quite fun in the end... Thats pretty much all that i can say now... Took Pictures of my OG mainly~ So you will see the same few ppl again and again~ The photos are uploaded to my Web Album. Go there to experience the fun for yourself~ Jus to mention again, these pictures are mainly taken for my group... So other photos of other seniors have to wait till PESS commitee puts them up~

Overall, its a very well organised camp. The organisers definately put in alot of sweat into planning the various activities and games. The freshies are very "guai" and accomodating... Very nice bunch of ppl~ Hahaa!!

Feelings regarding the camp? I feel that it was overun by a specific cohort... I'm sure most of us know which one... But can't blame them, they are committed to our PESS family i guess~ while most of us have other commitment to even turn up for the games...

What else can i say? I tink nothing much liao ba~ Hopefully the next batch of ppl will be more onz to help out for the next FOC~!

BumbleBeeZzzzzzz BuZzzzz Off!

First Biking Prac~

Ok, not sure if everyone noes, but i jus enrolled myself to a Class 2B Course together with my sis~ Yesh... I'm trying to learn how to ride a motorbike~

Today is my first practical at SSDC~ We attended the Orientation Lesson where we basically learned about the safety, rules and regulation of the place, standard practice, attire, lifting the bike off and onto the stand and about the biting point of the bike~ After the orientation, we bumped some tires where we get to practice the gear shifting, brakes, throttle and biting point... We also got to ride around in the mini circuit where we learned how to change gears, eyepoint, turning a corner and braking... I tink that the pace of the lesson was quite alrite... i rather take it slow, learn a bit more, den to rush everything and miss out on teeny weeny details and such...

BUT... we didn't have time to complete the 1st lesson... So we have to book lesson 1 again which will take place pretty soon~ Hopefully we will move out of the mini circuit den~

Vrooom Vrooom~

Chalet~

Back from chalet~!

The turnout was quite good considering the busy schedule of many of my classmates... For the bbq, onli 2 out of 14 didn't make it~ But stayed over? Only 9 ppl~ First day started out late, by the time we checked in, it was already 4pm~ Did some admin stuffs, hang around till the rest of the ppl slowly started showing up...

After the bbq, we hanged around a while and played this MAD card game which got everyone SOOOOO Confused! It was totally Mad-ni-to... At bout 3am we decided to drive to marina south for 2 games of bowling! Ate mac breakfast and returned to the chalet at bout 5-6am...
We drank a little booze when we are back... I was having fun until i was reprimanded by a classmate for deciding the penalty for the ppl playing a game... i haven exactly started drinking yet... Althou he made a point there, but that totally spoilt my mood~

Day 2 was quite relaxed i would say.... We slept at bout 8am i guess and woke up at bout 12pm~ I took the chance when no one was awake yet to go for a morning dip in the pool! The jacuzzi was so relaxing! By 3pm, we were left with bout 5 ppl at the chalet... Played a little water volleyball and 2 of them had to leave already~ so left with onli 3 ppl... Played more water volleyball and soak in the pool till our skin wrinkled!! Finally more ppl turned up for dinner at changi village... Stingray, Sotong, Oyster Omelette, Mutton Soup, Kangkong, Lalang and Mussels... What a fantastic spread! After dinner, its back at the chalet where we played the MAD game again before starting our drinking frenzy!!

Played indian poker and Zhong Ji Mi Ma~ Loser, DRINK~ Easy rule... Everyone gets to top up the penalty glass with any booze of their choice... The mixture was so scary! But i mostly add ice cubes to the glass instead~ Hahahaa!! Anyway, i drank about 3 glasses and i'm already at my limit... Guess i can't drink anyway... Lucky i didn't push myself to drink more... Who knows wat rubbish i'll do when i'm drunk~

Next morning we have to check out at 9.45am~ So early!! Had trouble waking up in the morning~ Well, we already tidied most of the place up and all that was left was jus some simple cleaning up, throwing of stuffs and packing of our personal stuffs~

Quite a successful chalet i would say... Like my friend always say, we can never expect 100% attendance in events... If we can even get 60%, its very good already! We ought to do this more often~ I jus hope that there will be more commitment towards the class...

Heee! Fun!

Sch Exp done, Chalet comes~

So~ School Experience at Sec sch is done... I'm tempted by wat we can seriously do for PE in a Sec sch~ Alot of teaching and learning can take place... But I'm still thankful i'm in a Pri track... Basically becoz of discipline problem in a sec sch... I'm not sure if i'm good enuff to maintain discipline in a sec sch~ Now is to find out more about nearby schools and hope that i'll be able to get into a sch with good pe program~ Yup~

I moved house yesterday and was super shag man~ Althou not much to move since we already made a few trips before yesterday, it was still tiring and emotional... I'm so glad that we are finally moving OUT of that place! but alot of complications may follow... My sis does not really have a good relationship with her bf's father... But it shld not be too much of a prob if she jus follow their rulez... As for me, i'm kinda officially leaving at serangoon already~
Very sad yesterday, becoz i left my "Chou Chou Bear Bear" at the old place... Tote that becoz its dirty and smelly and that i couldn't imagine wat adrian's mom's reaction will be if she saw it! But i totally regretted it now... Adrian was so irritated that i didn't bring it back... He said "Can Wash One Ma!" Den it hit me in the face! Shit!! But now, it shld be gone forever liao... Hiaz...

Tml, Chalet! Class Chalet with my PE buddies... Hope it will be all fun! We will be celebrating 2 birthdays there while having fun and all~ haha!! BBQ... Games... Mahjong?? Hee~ Anyway, shld be fun ba~ 3 days 2 nights~

Hope and Hoping Still~

So many things~

All is settled for my "practicum" or school experience... Not too bad, the schools seems quite okay... I can wear PE attire to observe PE lessons... Not like my friend, she kena schools that wants her to wear Formal Attire and stand in the hot sun~ Super siao man~ Hahaa!!

Anyway today was supposed to go climbing with evon and saiful~ but came down with a flu~ I down tink i wan to be up there, sniffing away~ so stupid... Plus with all the fear about avian flu, my little flu may jus cause a scare in the confined area... Hahaa!

Hongkong Trip Aftermath~

We went many many places during the trip. Both HK dollar and RMB is about 5:1.

Day 0
We landed at Macau at 12mn, where we stayed a night at "Best Western Sun Sun Hotel" it cost 430 HK dollar but it wasn't quite worth it because the room was quite small and the location was not too good~ Nothing much around the area except a few hawkers which we didn't try~

Day 1
We checked out and headed to another hotel nearer the gambling district~ "President Hotel" Very comfortable for only 530 HK dollar. From there we went to Zhuhai Via the Barrier Gate. Zhuhai is in China and the shopping there was quite alright. Food is damn cheap there... A very good meal for 4 ppl can cost up to 60 RMB onli~
After that we went to New Yuan Ming Palace where we were cheated of our money again and again~ The tram ride around the place is so STUPID... I tink it was just a 10 min ride with explanation that we couldn't understand... Lost money there... Next, we wanted to go someplace but along the way met these ppl offering to write poems with our names. They emphasized that it was only 5 bucks~ and guess wat? that was only for the poems... NOT the writing materials... So by the time it was completed, it cost me 85 RMB... Irritating...
We went to walk in the maze only to get caught in the rain... But when we were ready to leave, we took photos of us in the "princess and emperor" clothings only to get disappointed again... My eyes were closed in one of the better pictures yet they didn't retake on the spot... They camera is digital for goodness sake... Hiaz... So i ended up paying for a miserable ugly picture which i tink i forgot to bring back...
Went back to the Gongbei Terminal which we will go back to Macau... There, we bought some chinese cheong sam style clothings which again we were cheated there...Hiaz...

NEVER go Zhuhai Again ba~

Day 2
We went to Hongkong via the Turbojet Ferry. Quite Ex. About 130 per ticket. We stayed at Dorsett Sea View Hotel. It was damn small but it felt very cosy. I tink it cost us about 510 HK dollar each night. Shopping at Ladies Street at Mongkok reminds me of shopping in Bangkok's Flee Market. Very happening, but these ppl literally scolds you for haggling and NOT buying in the end... Haha! I guess if you have the heart to buy, you will be able to haggle a good price. So... Tips: Keep Haggling, and confirmed the price before getting new piece.
OH. do not buy mahjong from ppl that insist theirs is "ICI" standard... Coz we dunno how to confirm that... Just buy the cheapest. Check and Check the goods. Open to check the weight and size too...
Shopping at Temple Street at Yau Ma Tei is almost the same as Ladies Street, except this is more of a "Men's Street". Its very obvious when you are there. Imagine ppl selling sex toys out in the open... My goodness... But the stuffs there are somewhat cheaper and there are more police officers there... So i guess its quite safe to shop around there. The hotel we stayed in is nearer to Temple Street which makes it very convenient to go back after a night of shopping.

Day 3
We went to the Lantau Island where we had this bus ride which goes thru the forest and hills. I lost my phone reception along the way... But the view was fantastic... Hahaa! We reached the place where the giant Tian Tan Buddha was situated. We paid for and ate the vegetarian meal at Po Lin Monastry and quickly scaled the stairs to reach the giant Buddha. I shld have counted the number of steps... Hahaa! We can actually touch the clouds up there... Very Cooling... Hee~
After that, we went back and continued shopping...

Day 4.
We didn't manage to get another room at the same hotel, so we went to Causeway Bay for more shopping... We stay at Weng Fatt Hostel. Paid about 450 for 2 Single and 1 double bed... Quite spacious~
We took the tram up to "Victoria's Peak" and there we visited the Madame Tussauds. Had a Fun Time there, posing with the celebs but it gets boring after a while. After dat, we went to the peak to take photos of the beautiful scenery.
But shopping here was quite disappointing... Most of the stuffs at the flee market was quite outdated... But the roadside shops were okay... Pricing wise, i would say pretty much the same as singapore and you can't haggle here... So... If you dun mind paying the same for prettier clothes, then this place is for you...

Oh, did i mention that we had to go ALL the way back to Yau Ma Tei just to change the mahjong set... So irritating man~ different size when they promised that its the same size... Long Story man~ Jus know that their service was totally different from the day before~

Day 5
We went back to macau via ferry. We went shopping at St Dominic Square which there were NOTHING~ So we decided to go Casino Hopping. Most of the casinos there were empty except Sands and Wynn. The best part? The famous Floating Casino was also empty! The minimum stakes at Sands was way above my league. Each hand needs a minimum of like 200 HK dollar? The cheapest was 50 HK dollar for "Big Small Dice Game" My aunty won so much at Jackpot but refused to leave... So in the end lose back to the machine...

Day 6
We went to this beach called Hac Sa. It means Black Sand. The sand is literally black. Perfect gift for my perfect frens~ Hee~ Next we went to the Taipa village... Where my aunty bought all the food items and my sis bought some souveniours... But thats about all... I saw alot of visitors looking lost like us there... We were kinda cheated i guess... The books had all the nice reviews for this place... After dat, we went to the airport and flew back to singapore. Landed at about 12mn too~

Day 11
Here's the photos! Spend so many days just uploading the photos to my laptop and to the web... Had to bear with a laggy laptop too, thanks to my bf... Hiaz...

The young lady is my sister, rebecca. The young man beside her is her bf, Andy. And finally, the mature looking lady is of course my Aunty who sponsored us the trip!

Holiday Short Trips

Wanted to go Redang, Malaysia for a short getaway... But my aunty thought it was too far as it is a 12 hour bus journey there... So we decided on Pangkor Island, also in malaysia... After doing all the research as to wat we can do there, my aunty decided that she will not have anything to do there... Which is irritating becoz we already did all the research... Spending so much time trying to gather the price, which resorts, wat activities... We almost started planning the itinery... In the end, I tink we will end up going for a cruise... Which is irritating... Coz there is nothing much to do on a cruise...

Whats more? My uncle called me up early this morning just to tell me that its a holiday that my aunty needs... So go along with her.... So its not wat we want, but wat my aunty wants... If i'm not financially unstable, i would have gone to pangkor with my sis and her bf... I tink we will have a more fun time there on our own...

Hiaz... Wat to do? Jus go lo~
