TP starting soon...

Teaching practice is starting soon... this coming monday to be exact... I'm posted to a high achievement neighbourhood school and i'll be going in the afternoon session... I really wonder if all the good things i heard about the school is true... only one way to find out~! Go there and experience it...

I only heard about my confirmed posting yesterday afternoon... apparently, they couldn't decide which session to post me to... haha! I didn't even have to attend any meetings prior to school reopening! i guess they were very busy with the H1N1 virus thing and the 7-day leave of absence thing...

Anyway, the news stated that if you returned from affected countries on or after 22nd of july, you are required to stay home for 7 days before returning to school... The list of affected areas are Australia, Argentina, Canada, Chile, Dominican Republic, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States of America.

When i saw the news, i was worried... coz i was in malaysia and i didn't know if msia is one of the affected countries... They sent out the news, but there was no mention of the countries involved... luckily, our teacher's portal has the announcement too... and they mentioned the countries...

SO.... I was not from an affected country, and therefore, i am starting school on time! 12.30pm...

No more SIMS... No more Criminal Minds... Here come Unit Plans, Reflections, Lesson Plans and more...

So little things happened since...

Been trying really hard to go exercise... Suppose to play badminton for the past week but the courts around our area are under some kind of renovation and the CC's one is always booked... And nik has been sleeping in... even now he is still sleeping... was supposed to play at 2pm... hahaa!

Was supposed to go on this learning overseas trip with uncle gary to learn how to take charge of these types of trips... however, because of my upcoming teaching practice, i'm unable to go~ Which is sad of course... even though the pay is very little, about $50 a day, but its the experience that counts... pluz, food and accomodation are included~! Beka and Andy went... Port Dickson Eagle Ranch~ Should be quite cool ba~!

Met up with augustine from Fishingaffairs.com and learnt quite a lot from him. He was helping us prepare the equipments required for our kelong trip and we spent another 50 bucks at the tackle shop... Next time need to organise fishing events, he is the guy to go to!

Our kelong trip is from 22nd june to the 24th june... Best part? I'm supposed to keep that week free to attend meetings (if there are) at the school i'm posted to... totally lost track of the days man! But the trip's already booked, so i can't do anything about that... i can only hope that the meetings are scheduled on thurs or friday lor~ :)

3rd Kelong Trip! This time, more prepared~

Sims 3

Recently installed The Sims 3 and i've been playing it ever since... Almost 10 hours of Sims per day! This is super unhealthy man!

• From creating the Sim character, to moving into a new home...
• From buying new furnitures to remodelling the house...
• From working 5 days a week to getting promoted and now working only 3 days a week...
• From friendly introduction, to holding hands, to kissing, to making out, to massaging, to WooHoo-ing and trying for a baby...
• From making new friends, to getting married and having a baby...
• Now? In the process of juggling 3 characters and making sure that their needs are met!

ADDICTIVE is the word for games like this... However, there will be a point where i decided i have enough and have to stop! SAVE and QUIT~ There's too many ppl to handle, too many needs met.. I think the next SIMS game really needs a "task action reposition function" where i can shift the queued actions around so that i do not have to cancel everything and requeuing them again! Its really irritating!!

Now that i have recovered my strength, it's time to continue with the sims! Hahaa!!

Hope i get a chance to WooHoo in other places...

Gatherings.... Finally some socialising!

Met up with some secondary school friends today! Jeetha and Edwin~! Edwin came to singapore for a short holiday and to help his sister move house, so we took the opportunity to meet up! We went to jeetha's dad's restaurant at novena called Fiesta Brasilia...

This restaurant was the first brazilian restaurant in singapore originally located at sixth avenue, but now, it is relocated to United Square at Novena... Its a humble little restaurant with brazilian staffs and chefs~ nearing closing time, the staffs will start playing their brazilian music~! Really cool atmosphere... Buffet, $38++~! Okay, enough with the publicity~!

We really had a great time, talking about the old days, our current "affairs", the gap between then and now... Almost forgot to take pictures for remembrance~! Haha! I tried to upload the photos here, but somehow, it is not showing... nevermind ba~! next time then~!

To Buona Vsta!! The school that closed down for private development...

Wakeboarding~

Wakeboarding is really fun and really really really TIRING~!~! My whole body is aching after our wakeboarding session yesterday~ Especially in the arms, shoulders, back and waist area... My ankle injury was aggravated because of the turning action required when you try to change direction of the board... Knees aren't doing well too... Haha! Need to strengthen them before the next session~!

What i really love about this session was the company and the weather~ The weather was great, not too hot, not too cold, really perfect for wakeboarding~ The water was VERY SALTY though... swallowed quite a mouthful especially when i crashed into the water face first~! I had the honor of having rachel and khor kai on this trip~ rachel, quite a beginner managed to ride out of the wave heel-side! great accomplishment! as for khor kai, she is a pro lah~! at least to us, she could hold the handle with one hand, ride out with one hand, and she rides in and out of the water with much ease!! should have seen her, SO COOL~! haha~!

As for me, i was able to ride out across 1 wave toe-side, and back in (and out again) across 2 waves heel-side! I finally crashed trying to ride back into the center toe-side... To me, i have jus hit another milestone in wakeboarding~! Next one, i'm going to try to jump the waves~! i dunno how to describe all that has happened because i dunno the terms wakeboarders use~ But i'm sure you guys know what i'm talking about and can imagine what it looks like ba~!

We took some videos and photos, will upload them soon!! Jus stick around~! :) Oh, one more thing, the company we went for is Punggol Sea Sports Accessories. The boat was quite old, but the driver is really experienced! He knows how to requlate the speed to suit our needs and situation~ So i think for $85/h, it is really worth it~!

Wakeboarding! Expensive but REALLY FUN!!

E3 2009!

Was watching live streaming of E3, yesterday and now... I realised suddenly that i've really lost touch with the gaming world... It seems like gaming has evolved quite a bit and i'm still stuck in the yester-years! Microsoft's Xbox 360 seems really revolutionary with the new controller-less environment! Nintendo seems a little weak and boring during the conference but there are some fantastic games for the Nintendo DS~ and as for Sony? I'm still waiting for the conference to start... Haha!! Thanks to gamespot we are able to view the conference even if we are not physically there! Cool.....

Alright, better go read up on the latest news and games soon!

Games!

Results are OUT!!

I was wondering what can i blog about today since i did not do anything significant for the past few days... but i remembered suddenly that my results are out! I'm very happy with my results~ it was better than expected... so i'm glad~ I expected a C for my math but i got a full grade up. So quite lucky le ba...

Other that my results, really nothing to blog about liao... so boring my holidays! I spent my days slacking, watching online tv, reading several pages from different books... Went to the library quite often to borrow books of different interests~ But that is really about all...

Wanted to go on a boat fishing trip, but nik, andy and beka were quite skeptical about it... saying things like, it will be boring.... dunno if we would be able to catch anything... and all these stuffs... so i gave up on the idea...

Whats coming up then? Wakeboarding! This coming monday, 4 gals, 1 instructor, 1 boat, the sun, the water and the wakeboard~! cool..... Haha! Hope my knees can hold up! :)

Yawnz...

Fail for the 4th time...

34 points... 18 to pass... silly mistakes...

wobbly, blindspots, blah blah... no immediate failure.... stupid... next test most prob will be in woodlands already... hopefully the environment better and easier to pass ba... :(

TRY AGAIN...

Sucky Tuesday...

Today, we woke up earlier then usual so that i can go for my circuit revision... I took the worst bike and yet it became very good to ride! But accident still happened... At the emergency brake course, i braked too hard, dropped my bike and in attempt to avoid the falling bike, i jumped off and landed on what i thought was concrete painted yellow... BUT... It was soft sponge instead and guess what? My left ankle got sprained again... LEFT side... The foot that has to support the bike and place on the floor everytime we stopped... The foot used to change gear... The foot that got sprained... How unlucky... Luckily my dearie was still waiting for me and i brought my sports tape along... So i was able to tape my ankle and return to practice... Circuit should not be a problem i guess...

So after that, we went AMK blk 724 for lunch and had wanton noodle and char kuay teow... Food was great, but good enough... We went to the library to get some books and nik drove me to the next location...

Next up, napfa testing... The students came late, so the testing started late... Which also meant that we ended late... by almost 45 minutes! And our car had some little problems and nik wasn't able to pick my up on time too... White smoke was coming out of the exhaust for a period of time and oil was leaking... According to nik, it was probably because he filled the engine oil too full, thus causing overflow... But anyway that was ok already...

Next, me and nik quarrelled... Because of some device in the car... We were supposed to put water only, but he wanted to try and include some baking soda as it was stated online that it would increase performance... We agreed earlier that we would not add anything for this full (fuel) tank so that we have something to compare too when we add the baking soda... But suddenly, he went ahead and added it anyway... His reasoning was, no engine oil, so how to track performance (mileage)?

Conversation:
Me: You added baking soda right?
Nik: Yeah, a bit only (defensively)
Me: I thought we decided not to put?
Nik: A bit only...
Me: But liddat how to see the performance?
Nik: No engine oil (blah blah)
Me: But still...
Nik: What is your problem?
Me: What IS your problem?
Nik: Why cannot add?
Me: Why must add?
Nik: (Nothing to say)
Me: (Nothing to say and starts limping away)

Anyway, i know i was being irritating, but i seriously do not understand a guy's mentality... I'm sure he do not understand me also... And i'm starting to wonder................. Hiaz....

I already apologized, sent an sms to him (i know, not sincere.. but i jus can't bear his attitude in my state of pain..) Anyway, my ankle is really painful now... I dunno if i can take the road revision tml and the test on the day after tml... Hopefully it recovers soon... As for nik, he have not asked me once about my ankle since we reached home... Maybe he is just tired and forgotten about it... :(

Sianz man... So tired...

Facebook...

I'm hooked on facebook... Sorority Life...

Its an online game application where you try to live a life of a girl in university or something...
You have to socialize or get a job to earn money, influence and popularity... When in doubt, FIGHT with other girls... Beat the hell out of them! Level up, unlock more stuffs... Buy clothes, accessories and rides to increase your "Glam-ness" Join up with other sisters to make your "House" more powerful... Hmmm... Thats what the game is all about...

I installed the app becoz my sis needs more ppl in her house and so i did... and in 3 days, i'm already level 19... This either means i'm good, or i'm super bo liao... I think its becoz i'm super duper bo liao... keep playing and playing... kinda wasting my time away... but then again, i dun have the mood for anything else! :)

So anyway, if you have me on facebook, and you played this game before, and i have invited you somehow, please accept it ok? if not, add me!! The more the merrier! :)

Sorority Life.....

Prison Break... Broke...

Prison Break finally ended... But why muz the ending be so sucky?!?!

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Everything turns out okay... Scyllar was given to the UN, the people getting the freedom they fought so hard for, the bad guys DIED... After everything that Michael Scofield did, he DIED too... Died due to his sickness after fighting SO HARD to free his friends and family.... OMG... I know that happy ending is so cliche, but after 4 seasons, i think the audience deserve an happy ending!!!!! Arrgh... I totally did not expect this ending at all~! OMFreakingG!!! Alrights, enough rantings for now. Even nik is laughing at me liao...

Anyway.... APPLAUSE for the writers, directors, producers, actors and all the crew that worked on the show! GOOD JOB!

Over and Out!

TP...

I have two TPs in this two months... One is Traffic Police test, another is Teaching Practice... Both equally scary...

I went for my practice, but in the circuit, i dropped my bike three times!!! u-turn, crank course and figure 8... once each... like sai lah~ i also dunno why, lack of practice ba... plus my weak knees giving me problems... Especially my right knee, since it will be bent for long periods of time, and the only time it can touch the floor is at the emergency brake course... (we can only put our left leg down...) So its damn stressful for my knee to remain in the bend position... With the throbbing pain, i feel less and less confident as time passed for my practice... I seriously think i'm going to fail this upcoming test too...

Teaching Practice i think should be ok lah~ As long as i do my unit plan, reflections and teach properly, should be fine... But i'm only concerned with my language... I know that my english sucks... the way i speak and the way i use my words is horrible...

For example...

• things expand when the sun is hot! (the sun is always hot... duh!)
• the car very fast already, but we are even more faster! (super broken english, plus how can we use "more" and "faster" together? aren't they the same idea?)

Anyway, i know i will be penalized for bad english, i'm only hoping for the best....

Alrights! Better go pack my stuffs now... been trying to clear my stuffs since holidays started...

I dreamt of TPs...

If I disappear...

If i disappear, who would try to find me?
If i disappear, who would feel like someone is missing?
If i disappear, who would be more than happy?
If i disappear, who would be sad?
If i disappear, would lives still go on?
If i disappear....... I wish i can.......

Disappear! Poof~

Been Sick...

I've been sick for the past few days... Sleep super early (5 to 6 am) and Wake up super late (1 to 2 pm)... Come to think of it, i slept for about 6 to 8 hours a day still... But still feel very lethargic becoz of my block nose and sore throat... This coughing only occurs at night about 11pm or so... Causing me to be unable to sleep... Hiaz...

Tml's my first bike practical after so long... Going for road and circuit revision.. Traffic Police Test is on the 28th of May... Wonder if i'll fail again this time...

Been slacking alot and thanks to the swine flu, many assignments are cancelled... so my holiday work will be reduced by alot... i'm starting to feel the effect of the economic downturn... But its mainly due to the fact that my stipend is running low... And i'm not sure when will we get the next stipend...

Sis bday is next week... wonder what to get her... got her quite alot of stuffs already, but still ought to get her something on the actual day... cannot spend too much liao!!

Training... No mood to go for training le... I dunno why, but when something becomes competitive, and people start training because of their desire to win, i would slowly lose interest... The change of management and captains is a good thing, they will bring the team to the next level, but i'm not as enthusiastic as before... See how it goes ba... muz get rid of this illness first~

Rantings.... Complaints...

Mahjong, Soccer and Durian!

Best combination ever!!

Beka and andy came over tuesday (yesterday) and wednesday (today) to watch the champions league games at our place... Both days we had mahjong session! Yesterday i won 6 plus bucks and today i won $20 plus!!!!! For the first time i actually won so much! I had a 5 tai zi mo today! Very happy~!

Anyway, we went to chinatown today to buy the mahjong chips... And the price is SCARY!! its 30cents per piece and having to buy 100, it would cost me 30 bucks liao! Luckily we checked the internet and found this place at Playfair Road, Kapo Building... They are selling it at 10cents per piece!!

After buying the chips, we met up with beka and andy for dinner at eminent frog porridge in geylang lor19... After dinner, we bought durians and came back to our place for our mahjong session...

Today's game (barcelona vs chelsea) is horrible..... Red Card for nothing... Arrgh~ Champions league finals... Man Utd vs Barcelona.... Woohoo~!

Anyway, thats how i have been spending my holidays... Tml (thursday) still got rollerblade session... So fun hor? wahahahaa!!

Slack!!

Pictures speaks a thousand words...

Okay, i realised i didn't mention anything about the genting trip except that i came back from that short trip recently... Haha!!

Anyway, Genting trip was SUPER last minute... It was decided only the night before the trip! My aunty booked the rooms and the next thing we knew, we were in her car, driving up to genting le... On this trip were my aunty shirlena and her friend (geraldine), my sis (beka) and her bf (andy), me and my dearie... When we reached, it was near to 8pm already... So the night was spent eating dinner, walking around, playing the new laser game and the haunted adventure! We finally ending the day by watching movie... Haha!!

For the next day, we bought the full day themepark ticket and we had so much fun!! I finally threw my guts out of my stomach and went to take all the rides that i avoided since many years ago... All because of my dearie lor~ didn't want to spoil his day... Luckily i didn't actually vomit although i felt really sick after some horrible rides... We also spent the night in the indoor park, taking some photos, watching movie again and resolving some issues between couples... But all was well and we finished the trip with a short casino fun before driving back home...

We had a quick stopover at portdickson for dinner and finally reached home at about 11pm plus plus... Anyway, here are the photos of the trip... Looking at the photos and the silly captions would help you understand what went on during the trip! :) Enjoy!!

Photos... Fun!

I will blog soon...

Exam ended... Holidays started!!

My exam went badly today... we were supposed to answer 4 out of 6 questions in total, and i studied 5 topics! tried to spot questions due to lack of time! Out of the 5 topics i studied, 4 came out! So i should be very happy right? BUT NO..... The topics i studied were combined into 2 questions... so i had to crap thru the other 2 questions!!! Therefore, if i can scrape a B somehow, i'm super lucky liaoz...

Nevermind that! its over already and there is no point talking bout my failure too much!! Its time to move on! And to mark the end of the exams, we are going to georgetown, penang for a weekend getaway trip!! We will be driving up soon and spending two nights there! I've been there once and its a nice place! so i'm pretty sure we will have fun~ :)
