the weekend is here again!
yayy!! -jumps around-
haha
had a rather lovely start to the weekend
dinner at newton wasn't quite up to expectation because i think edith and lingli ordered from the wrong stall
oh well
but it wasnt all that bad although lingli might disagree
she is so picky
worse than anyone i know except for maybe vivien
haha

indochine later in the evening made up for it though
the place is lovely
a new favourite of mine
comfy couches
nice waiters
enjoyable company
pictures here
and cuz we were there rather early, there was no irritating cigarette smoke
which made things even better
haha
i think nice places like that should ban people from smoking inside
in fact, i wouldn't mind if smoking was made illegal in singapore
that would make our little island so much more a lovelier place
haha
but i doubt that day will ever come
nothing can be perfect i guess
haha

and i still have not received that piece of paper from nus
so much mail frm everywhere except for the one that matters at this point
i am still hoping..

had my first tuition session on tuesday
and the second one today
i had to do phy with her today
horror of horrors
i even brought my sec 4 phy textbook along
seriously
haha
but suprisingly, i didn't die
managed a rather coherent lesson i think
i was a phy student at A levels after all
although my grade was kinda mediocre
oh well
-shrugs-
at least i survived today

its thursday already
the guy at nus said letters will be sent out late april
and april is almost coming to an end
but i still have not received anything
argh
is the postman at my area really tt inefficient?
i always seem to get my letters later than everyone else
seriously
i received the letter frm ntu like almost a week later than everyone else larh
pls let me receive the letter frm nus and let it be my choice
-cross fingers really tightly-

lady luck seems to have lost her liking for me
one of the tuition kids decided tt she doesn't need tuition anymore
so now i have only one tuition job
oh well..
so be it

its monday again
i dun really like mondays
never really did
work as usual was kinda boring
and my boss is starting to nag us
oh well
cant really be bothered about her
hah
i will just do what i can and so there

had a rather beautiful weekend though
although i swear i am allergic to something (i dunno wad yet) in the east
i mean seriously
there will be some weird aliments haunting me aft i visit that particular part of the island
hah
heaven knows what it is
i still haven't found out what is the factor that cause this
the scientific investigation that i have designed is still in the process
haha
because only one variable can be changed at any one time
yes i know i am crapping away
but i am bored
and i need to revisit my books
if not i wont be able to give tuition tmr
haha
but honestly..
i dun really feel like
books seem to be something of a long lost era
bleah
realised how much i forgot when i tried teaching stellina chem just now
had so much difficulty explaining it to her
had to keep refering to the textbook
haha

i better have a go at the books to save myself frm embarrassement tmr
haha..

lady luck seems to like me these few days
just received another tuition offer just a while ago
that's 2 assignments in 2 days
yayy
hmm.. maybe i will stop being so broke after a while
hah
and the 2nd one wasn't through any agency
therefore meaning i will get to keep all my money
and she also sounds like a nice person and someone who is genuinely interested in her work
yayy
i think someone like that will be nice to teach
haha

lots of people teach tuition for the money
i do not deny the money is good and it is an important factor
but i really do enjoy being able to help someone understand concepts
alot of which, i admit can appear rather senseless and baffling
it gives me a certain sense of satisfaction to see "my student" solve the questions successfully and finally be "enlightened"
hah
i know it sounds rather unbelivable
but it is true

hmm..
then maybe i can consider becoming a teacher if i can't get into any course
yes, i have not received a single letter frm any of the tertiary instituitions
-jumps around in panic-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!

and the start of another week
hopefully, it will be a nice one
haha
i will try to make it a nice one

had a great weekend
movies by the bay, great show, yummy food and lovely company
the night view at the kallang river was really nice
the majestic towers against the dark sky
the calm water in the foreground
and the familiar salty smell of the sea
an enjoyable night
singapore is really so much nicer at night

after a week, i realise that the people in my team are not that bad after all
ya
i mean i am generally easy-going most of the time anyway
hah
they can be quite funny and work is pretty ok
not that brainless but not too much of a challenge as well
and with edith in the same office as me, i do get quite a bit of entertainment
she and her obsession with my colleague and my colleague's obssession with edith's colleauge
i swear i am the only one normal and sane amongst them
hah
but it is quite funny
haha
my boss can be quite annoying at times though
keeps rushing us to do the work but i guess it is her job to make sure we do our job
and as the rest of them say, she cant really do anything to us too
its so many of us against her
oops
hah

today, this persont that i barely knew told me alot of interesting things
first, i supposedly look like i am crooked and spend my time hanging out with bungs at the lips cafe at cineleisure
then, i was told i also look like someone that spend my life clubbing and pubbing away in the company of bungs
then to top things off,
she thinks that its a good thing that i appear that way
so at least i dun look like a nerd or anything
gosh

its not that i have anything against bungs or anything
in fact, i think alot of them are quite nice
but honestly, do i really look like someone like that?
goodness

the grouping has been done today
and i am stuck with 2 of the 3 blondes in my class
they are in my group
oh well, there is nothing i can do about it
lets just hope i survive this
hah

its been a lovely lovely weekend thus far
ballet under the stars was good
really enjoyed myself
fantastic performance and simply great company
thanks my dears

the two little ones had their birthday party on saturday
hordes of screaming kids running wild is certainly not a very pretty sight
and the mess they can create is unbelievable
but oh well
they are kids after all
maybe we were all like that once
haha

its a bright and sunny sunday afternoon
a bit too blinding i think
but it doesn't really matter at the moment
hah
i am spending the day in peace at home
something that is rather hard to come by
haha
but today, this luxury is mine
and it feels good

Thursday, April 07, 2005

it seriously feels good to knock off at five
the trains are still empty, you can still see the sun when you reach home
life is certainly not too bad now
hah
especially with our rather slack work
been attending training to be equipped with the necessary skills
hmmm
but then, i hardly pay attention and those times that i do, i seriously do not understand anything
oh wells
but the instructor kinda praised me and edith yesterday
at least edith thinks so
hah

oh, and i seriously think edith has some weird obsession over the bung in our class
edith keeps looking in her direction and she kinda does keep looking at us too
dunno who she's looking at though
hah
but we finally talked to her today
and she is nice
haha
at least i think she is more interesting than the 3 blondes sitting in front of us
i swear they are totally totally blonde
discussing boyfriend woes and first dates and i dunno wad else la
i almost died there
and someone actually said that she looked like she was from SN
i almost died
seriously
but she is from a certain other school that i happen to detest
and sera absolutely hates
arghh
i seriously hope i dun have to work with them
then at least my torture will end on next monday

first day at work
felt as if i went back to school again
we had an orientation tour
followed by classes
yes
for the whole afternoon at that
and as usual
i fell asleep in class
and this time i seriously paid for it
a bruise on my arm
cuz i happily fell against the table as i fell asleep
and its still there now
red and swollen and painful
bleah

anyway
one interesting thing today though
edith and i discovered this bung that wore boxers
i know it sounds a bit wrong
but we really did discover it by accident
we were having this stretch break thing half way through the lesson/ training or whatever you want to call it
she was sitting on the other side at the back
and edith happened to glance across as we were stretching and discovered this
and knowing edith
she obviously drew my attention to this rather unusual sighting
hah
well, i mean i dun have anything against her
but i just found it rather unusual
couldn't help wondering whether the boxers were all she wore under her jeans
or what?
i know for a fact edith has been pondering about this same question since we made this discovery
but oh well
we dun mean it in any bad way
just curious..

trust is so much like a card house
it takes so long and so much to build it up
card by card
slowly, painstakingly
yet one wrong move can cause it all to collapse
a misplaced card
a unexpected shiver of the hand
a stupid move
and everything comes falling down

i am sorry
i know it is too late
but i am
