It's been a long time!!!

Yes, it is indeed been a long time since i updated this blog. I didn't even think of updating it until another teacher suggested using blogspot to share resources~ So since now that i'm co-editor in terms of the other blog, i'll be trying to update this blog as well~

Anyway, the term has ended, the holidays started AND ended, the NEW term has started and this is the 3rd week of school. It has been SOOO busy for me. I've got new responsibilities and so it is a challenge for me mentally and physical.

Anyway, I got to go!!

Heeeee.

Sorry

I think this blog will become a monthly update kinda thing...

I dun feel the urge to blog as i did previously...

Sick and Tired, Lack of motivation...

I think facebook probably have a more accurate update then the blog~!

So why am i still blogging every now and den? I kinda refuse to accept defeat... Cannot believe that i have become the loser i am today...

So i will still drop by when i feel like it and post some crap that you guys probably find it irritating or childish...

Hiaz...

Over and Out...

National day holiday.

Tml is our 45th national day. long weekend holiday but somehow, I'm stuck in singapore. money issue and lack of travelling idea. so here i am, wasting my time away, refusing to wrk and think. but this is a gd way to recharge my batteries! hahaa...

happy national day!

Many Things Happened...

Its been more than a month since i last blogged. So much for promising to blog more frequently huh... Anyway, its been a busy month since everything happened... School term started and things slowly went downhill and uphill and downhill again... Like a roller coaster ride...

Its a dilemma...

1. Work hard for the kids, cca, school and myself but risk becoming a loner in the school like other teachers who are passionate in their work...

2. Slack a little here and there, appear to be of no use... but will be able to blend in with the other influential slackers in the school... grades and future? Nothing liao lor...

I decided to take on the first option. Become a loner? so be it...

As for classroom teaching, i'm doubting my abilities to influence and teach the kids... i feel like a loser most of the time and an incompetent teacher... First grade honour is a bunch of bullshit... In the end, its classroom teaching that counts and i feel that i suck at it so far...

Hiaz... What can i do? I really don't know man...

What a girl wants... What a girl needs...

Bye bye Rainbow

Rainbow was a dog that came into our life about a year ago. She was a cute little black n white chihuahua that looked nothing like her name.

At the start, I resented her presence because she was the limelight of the family and stole the attention from phoenix, a JRT. She was so adorable and loves to jump onto u once u sit on the couch. She would attempt to kiss u on ur mouth! KISS! not the usual doggy lick, but an actual muacks on the lips. If she could not do that, she would lie on u with her head on ur chest, waiting for u to look down for her to kiss u.
She loved to play with a bouncy toy ball and she would chase and jump all over the place to play fetch with u. She would play soccer with u too, dribbling the ball around you as you try to kick or take the ball.

Soon, phoenix and rainbow became best pals. Rainbow was the most welcoming dog known to me. she would start barking in a cute rhythm and tone when she sense us coming. when you open the door, she would run to you together with phoenix.

rainbow, unfortunately, kept her bad habits of rummaging dust bins for nonsense food. she was given the nickname of 'rubbish dog' for a period of time.

Rainbow passed away, 2 days ago... she was vomiting for a few days but yet, none of the family had any sense to send her to the vet. until she started vomiting blood and had blood in her poo... when I heard the news, I was filled with shock, anger and regret...

Angry at myself for not being there to educate my family of the importance of seeing a vet. angry at their lack of common sense. angry at the fact that rainbow ashes wasn't allowed into the hse for stupid reason. Regret that I didn't spend a lot of time with her and regret that there were not a lot of photos n videos to remember her by.

At this point, rainbow's ashes is at mount vernon animal crematorium. waiting to go home. I insist bringing her home to take a last look and to say our goodbyes before placing her at her final resting place.

Dear rainbow, please know that we love you and we really miss you.

I want to turn back time.....

Good weather today!

Today's weather is exceptionally gd with great sun and humidity level so high that u would feel like slpin even before u step out of the house.

Yesterday, weather was scary. imagine this... Heart of the city, orchard road, flooded to waist level and destroyed goods in the basement shops of lucky plaza! I think singapore will probably sink soon...

Today, I went back to nie to attend this interview for a rotary club award. I was so unprepared for it and I think I blabbered for most part. it will be a surprise if I did get the prize.

I found out that u will need to attend interview for the awards, so no interview means no awards. which means I'm probably goin home empty handed for both ceremonies. It's nt very impt, but it would be nice. after all, I did work quite hard. but so did many others.

now I'm looking back to my nie days and I kinda regret nt doing more. I wasted most of my time doin nothing, esp during the hols. if I'm paid, I'll do so much more.

Enough said. my 199 journey has come to an end in the new interchange. blog again soon.

out out out!

Came back from kelong on Friday night. Ah You kelong is not as nice as before le. We had to pay for the baits and ice. kinda irritating at some point. but the food was still good.

as for the catch, it could be better. total catch was 54 fishes, 7 sotong. it was so pathetic that we did not have the motivation to take any pic of the catch.

today, we goin pc show to hunt for my laptop. hopefully can find wat I wan. :)

Alien... hee...

Yesterday, my Hammies looked like they "did it" den all the squabbles started. Quite scary actually. So, we separated them. Finally hamgee can slp peacefully.

As for spending money, we bought a new Panasonic plasma tv, full HD. 1,099 bucks! cheap! but that means my bike gotta wait.

Oh yea, I passed my tp at long last! I'm so happy. 6 points Onli. Haha!

results are out! and I'm very happy with it. my hardwork paid off and I'm rewarded with a first class honours! so happy! my uncle decided to reward me... hee...

last but not the least, I'm so lookin forward to the kelong trip. although Beka n Andy are nt goin this time round, but i'll try to catch more fish and sotong for them!

so happening!

It's been a long long time since i blogged!

Firstly, sorry for the lack of update! been feeling so busy and so lazy lately...

Practicum was over! Then it was back to NIE/NTU for 2 weeks for induction... Some of the induction programmes were interesting, others were either boring or totally useless...

We reported to our posting school on the 24th of May, last week of school for the primary pupils... I'm posted to Naval Base Primary School and I'm loving what i see there! The staff welfare and the school culture are really good and the pupils were quite well behaved. :)

Other than the VP and PE HOD, i'm the only PE trained teacher there! So many things to do there and the induction programme there has been very useful so far! Protected time begins on the 5th of June, till the 20th of June... And we already knew our protected time for the Sept and Dec holidays!! Hee!

Although the school is about 45 min journey by public transport and about 25 to 30 min by car, I stopped complaining the distance on the 2nd day of school and started embracing reality! Haha! This distance encouraged me to complete my bike lessons and get my bike license so that i can get a bike for myself! I know it's dangerous to ride a bike, but the route that i'm taking is quite bike and bicycle friendly~ (Mandai Road)... :)

My dearie bought us hamsters!! one male and one female~ We named it Hambee and Hamgee... When together, they are either called Ham Ham or Hammies! They are SO CUTE! My only worry is pregnancy! Time to prepare an additional cage to separate the male and females after the first lot! So far, so good~ Haha!! :) Here's the link to their photo album!

That is about all for now! I will try my best to update this blog more often, so stay tuned okay?

Ham Ham Ham Ham...

hello and nitez

I know its been a long time since I blogged and this time, I'm blogging frm my phone. Haha.

Anyway, its been 4 weeks since we started on our practicum. so far, so good. not much prob and have been quite healthy. the amount of work has been overwhelming and I guess it was bout time for me to fall sick.

hopefully tml I'll be better.

wonder how this blog will turn out?

Back to School

its 2nd day of school already... its been fun so far... exhaustion at this point is physical and not mental, YET...

softball is really tiring and training for IVP frisbee is even more tiring.. Best thing is that softball is on mon, wed, fri and frisbee is on tues, thurs... so i get tired EVERY weekday... :)

i'm finally feeling like a human now... waking up early, feeling the body aching... better than the holidays where my body feels lethargic most of the time... feels good to be human... Haha!

dearie is on reservist and so he wun be back till thurs... outfield... kinda miss his irritating-ness now... on a good side, i get to use the car for this week... next week onwards, i may have to switch back to public transport already... :(

okay... i better slp soon... tml's class is at 8.30am~!

4 days of 8.3o class!!!

Happy New Year!

To begin the first post of the new year, let me first apologize for my short updates for the previous posts... i have been very lazy lately and i shall attribute it to the weather and the weird slping routines... hahaa! *cough*

Anyway, this new year began on a slow note... we were at mount faber trying to catch a good view of the fireworks, but this year's fireworks have been quite disappointing... it was so low that our view were blocked by the trees even thou we were at the peak... However, the new year has arrived and i have spent the beginning hours with my dearests... my dearest boyfriend and my dearest sister... what more can i wish for?

My new year resolutions? None... i realised that i can't keep to my resolutions so i decided not to make any... if i'm forced to have resolutions for year 2010, i would probably want to "work hard, play hard, and save hard for this year..." Hahahaa!! These are not really measurable or quantifiable, so even if i didn't succeed... who knows? :)

Alrighty... lets enjoy the rest of the holidays while it lasts... :)

So many Events... So lazy to blog...

Sorry for my absence from this blog~ I have been too lazy to blog...

So many things came and went... EIE camp, SOA camp... Genting trip... And upcoming "grandtour" of south msia~

SOA camp was really "educational" its the type of camp that is actually mostly workshops~ i didn't expect it to be like that, but it was still fun~ made many friends both locals and foreigners~! Became a tour guide for our overseas friends! Went many places that i most prob wouldn't go anyway... So overall, it was GOOD~!

Genting trip was quite boring but still enjoyable because of the weather...

Upcoming grand tour consist of KL, Pontian, shopping, kota tinggi and etc etc... :)

Looking Forward~!

Car's back...

We collected the car on Sat, finally its all done up... although the workmanship could be better, but we cannot complain because of the price... We paid about $1400 in total and there are still some minor problems.... Going to fix them on this coming sat... If not for the accident, we would have been $1400 richer... But i guess its a good thing, at least we have our aircon back...

Went fishing after sooooo long, the fishes are mostly gone, thanks to baiters and netters... its really irritating actually... what to do?

As for myself... nothing exciting happened after our class gathering... was so bored that i actually attended a speak good english workshop for parents... can't say that it's useful, but it was quite interesting, until it became a complain session for the parents...

Was supposed to go for a trip on 23dec, but nik's been quite hesitant about it... plus we are not sure if he will be free in the first place... its super irritating lah~ Hiaz...

Am i so forgettable? Why is it that i have made myself so darn clear that i am interested in the outing! yet things have been planned and i'm totally forgotten... i didn't know bout it until i asked... now that i know its on, i dunno if i wanna go or not... i think i'll feel stupid, knowing that perhaps it was intentional to forget me, and i still turn up... hiaz... all the stupid things...

Been really easily irritated nowadays...

Class Outing~

Today's outing was FUN~

Went to this North Indian Restaurant @ ECP (big splash side) and had their buffet... food was quite nice, atmosphere not bad, price quite good since we were able to use the 1-for-1 promotion...

After that, we went for bowling at Kallang... Everyone played well and had FUN! Although i felt that i could have done alot better... hahahaa!

That's pretty much all...

Been so bored...

Cleaned up our room quite a bit, jus this semester's worth of work and notes remaining to clear up... After that, the room should be back to the original "neatness" before the exams... But i'm so lazy to start on that... reminds me of how badly i might have done this semester... :(

As for fishing? haven't started on it yet... The places that we go for fishing is more accessible with cars i guess... And i hate to do these stuffs alone... So have to wait till nik is free to go with me...

Our swift GTI? Still in the workshop... they have started working on it... Hopefully it will be ready by this saturday... Will be spending quite a bit of money on it, but its our choice....

As for other programs? i have a camp coming up on the 7dec... RTT most prob on the 17dec... Bike TP most prob on the 7Jan... Hopefully it will be earlier than that...

Started reading novels again... quite fun actually, "living" the lives of the characters in the book... disappearing into fantasy world while i still have the time... I can't believe that i "forgot" about reading... been losing out quite a bit... perhaps i'll be able to brush up on my english while i'm at it... :)

Facebook has become kind off boring now... Its like routine work, checking up on ppl's daily anecdotes, playing mindless games... but it seems like other than facebook, i do not have an online life... Nik can spend hours in front of the computer... surfing sites and forums... I don't even have a favourite website or forum to visit... such a hassle... :(

Anyway, i'm looking forward to the camp... wonders what will it be like...

Out out OUT!!!

Good News~

Car's in the workshop... fixing it up... may cost up to 1k, but hopefully will be much less than that...

Exam's over... Paper was a b***h... but well, my own fault for not studying well enough... That's said, its my lass paper for the whole 4 years... next sem will start in bout 6 weeks time... that sem will last 6 weeks, then its attachment for 10 weeks... quite scary actually... been starting to doubt myself quite a lot lately...

Results will be out tentative on christmas eve... kinda scary as i know this sem's result will not be as good as before...

For the next few weeks, camps... fishing... more fishing... bike practice... more slacking... food... fun... boredom... facebook... nik... more fun... more boredom... ETC.... hahhahahahaa!!

Over and Out~

So much for renewing road tax and insurance...

Guess what? After renewing road tax and insurance, the car may have to be scrapped... Why? because nik got into an accident and the front part, according to him, is totally destroyed...

Although i am very glad that nothing happened to nik, but i'm quite upset too... i have always told him to drive carefully and see further ahead... but his driving has been reckless... this type of accident is expected, although his luck is really quite bad... he is the last car, meaning no one bumped into him, so he got no one to claim from... NCD is not an issue, coz its only 10%... but its the fact that our car cannot be salvaged... (maybe)

Need to wait and know more... Hiaz... I'm really really upset right now... How to study? Want to talk to someone about this but nobody around... Dunno lah...

Hate accidents... (3 mishaps and 2 accidents...)

Not enough time...

Exam's in less than 3 days... i have more than 70% to study for this paper...

Enough said... DEADz...

Cairnhill Carpark

DO NOT park there anymore...

Wilson has raised the parking rates for the carpark and it has become ridiculous...
Usually it is 3.50 per entry on weekdays after 5pm... NOw? It is 3.50 for the first 3 hours and subsequently, 1.50 per half hour... Daylight robbery...

Parked there so many times before and took it for granted that nothing has changed... The board did, except that it DID NOT LOOK like it has changed any bit... So DISCREETLY... I wonder how many other ppl suffered the same shock as we did...

IRRITATING...
