Tuesday, May 30, 2006:that letter
How great! i have received my 1st letter from that organisation after having leaving it since april 10. and that darn letter states that i am going to be on standby for 2 weeks in june. irritating! i have happily assumed that i will need to wear that IRON II ppt clothes only after my uni studies which is 3 yrs later. i have chucked all those unmentionables into some corner in my house hoping to collect as much dust as possible. and yet this stupid letter has to come. hmpk.

went to singapore pools to work yesterday. thought that yesterday the atmosphere was quite bad. this is because there were 2 errors made by the trainees. well, the errors were quite big ones but they were solvable too. hopefully, my stay in it will be error-free too. haha.

Friday, May 26, 2006:work work
I am tired and busy with work. a lot of tuition, writing assessment book, working at singapore pools and preparing for the boys' brigade anniversary dinner is taking the toll on me. but i have to work. that is the saddest part. this is due to the stupid fact that i will be spending alot in London on my accomodation. 140 pounds per week and i am given 900 for each month. so i have to work doubly hard to earn that money. haiz.

not as if i feel accomplished after work. for now, i see work = money. maybe not so for tuition ba. i may feel a bit happier if what i teach go into their head but that is only for a micro-second. i feel so empty.

all that korean's serial fault. hahaha. i am serious. after watching that superb serial, i feel so void. maybe because nobody is my heart anymore ba. my heart solely belongs to me now. isnt it ironic?? haha. and this is sorta affecting my mood. but it is ok. i will snap out of it soon, i am sure.

Currently watching another korean serial called "My Lovely Sassoon". introduced by duane and i am now stuck in this show. haha. this is another romantic comedy but the thing is the male lead is good looking but the female lead is a plump unattractive lady in her thirties. haha.

Like the way the 2 leads bicker. Like the way the romance progress. i can taste sweet, sour and bitter. was reallie touched when the guy said, 'i dun want you to see any guy or listen to any guy speak.' made me want to say to the first girl i see on the street now. haha. just joking. anyway, this show basically stirred my emotions.

it is about this guy who is angry at his galfren for leaving to america for 3years yet did not know that she went there to cure a cancer. in order to stop his mum nagging at him for going to those matchmaking sessions he asked the female lead to play along to be his galfren. and since the female lead needs money, she agreed.

however things get complicated when the original galfren comes back and the femlae lead actually falls for the guy. the guy is deeply in love with the galfren but still attracted to the female lead too.

and for your information, the girl above is the galfren of the guy. i think that she is a chiobu. haha. and i think i like this kind of girls. well, not because she is chio but i like her smile. when i am attracted to a girl, i am smitten by her smile. her smile just melts my heart totally. awwwwwwww. haha.

Saturday, May 20, 2006:i love my dad
Can you still remember the time when you were in primary school, you saw something you fancy? On the next moment, you will start to beg, plead and give that pitiful face to ask your parents to buy for you.

But for yesterday, the roles are reversed for me. My dad actually took leave to bring me to Robinsons for the sale. He is more kan chiong than me about my study in Imperial. maybe thats why i dun seem to bother too much. i just wanna to live my life the fullest and enjoying singapore from now to september, that is.

In Robinsons, he saw a nice jacket which cost 99 bucks. i reminded him about the price but all he said was, 'juz buy lor'. in the end, he spent 250 bucks on 2 shirts, that jacket n trousers. i felt so bad. yes, i know, i know, i quite 'hip' (dialect for stingy and keeping by my side) money de but i felt the pinch for my dad.

As if that was not enough, we went down to TM to shop today. he bought another windbreaker for me and again i reminded him about the price but we still carried on. i felt touched, bad, lost. haiz. in the end, i bought another pair of shorts and shirt from FOX and OP and paid by myself. think i am going to spend a bit more for Fathers' Day le. ahhaa.

Back to yesterday, my parents left Robinsons at 3, leaving me alone stranded in Orchard. arranged to meet gy, duane, wq and jason to watch Da vinci code at 7plus! in the end, went shopping alone in orhcard. after finished conquering orchard, went over to suntec. my legs were damn tired and sat down in the food court to eat dessert.

DaVinci Code is a nice movie, commercially. i am not going to discuss about the contents here. All i can say is the essence of the book is displayed in the show. and little or no deviation from the book.

To all christians, take the fiction story with a pinch of salt. just remember what you stand for and where your faith belong to.

to the non-christians, this is a fiction. treat it as another story book even though some facts in the story are true.

Tuesday, May 16, 2006:t for tiring
i have never felt so tired since ages. slept at 2 last night because my stupid brother forgot to bring his keys with him. so waited for him and played dota at the same time.

then this morning, woke up at 8 plus and went down to republic plaza, shenton medical group to do medical examination with clarence. but i forgot to take my photograph so in the end took at fuji. the thing is i paid for 16 bucks for 8 photos and a cd which has the negatives and i can always produce the photos. luckily i quite like e pic. haha.

the medical checkup was ok but a lot of time wasted on waiting time. however, the classic moment was when i was required to do my blood test. this plump girl was supposed to extract blood from me. but she sat in such a way where her right breast pressed firmly against the side of my left hand, while she is extracting blood from my left arm. luckily, my left hand was squeezing the ball ( not mine, but the stress ball they provide), otherwise i would felt even weird. the best thing was that my vein collapse! haiz. and stupid ziyang said during lunch. 'of cos no blood la, all the blood go elsewhere le ma' i almost choked on my subway sandwich. i m not kidding. and shen zhi and clarence just sat there and laughed at my expression. the doctor whom i visited was cock too. i think this was the first time she was asked to do such stuff for moe, at least. and she was juz panicking and everything. she even almost forgot to give me injection. irritating!

then went to national library to sleep while clarence went to read the papers. haha. we were just there to kill time and then flocked down to be trained for the singapore pools thingy. quite cool! recieving bets is quite fun. haha but not when clients bet at a high amount. then must be doubly careful. ahhaa.

so shagged now. think i am going to collapse and concuss soon le.

Sunday, May 14, 2006:class outing
i m sure getting excited for my tertiary education after moe just chucked one whole pile of documents at my doorstep. i have to go for obs camp. haiz. i have not attended such camps for so long le.

then i am supposed to nominate a teacher who ignite that passion in me and invite him/her to my presentation ceremony. was thinking through and i felt weird asking my jc tutors. either they dont fit the criteria/ not close to them/the feeling is just weird. hahaa, majiam like i am choosing my soulmate. anyway, after much thought, think i will invite my sec3 form/add math teacher ba. i liked her lessons and after sec 3 and graduation, we are still on good terms and she is a good friend ba. :) janice also said that it is doesnt feel right to invite the jc tutors. haha. yeah!

just came back from jc class gathering. today is the first outing where the gals outnumber the guys when my class got like only 8 gals. dunno where all the guys go too. still havent seen people like xilin chin hock for ages. since the a level results release actually. haiz.

thank you andrew for always being the organiser even though xilin and i were the ct reps. :) haha...

Thursday, May 11, 2006:I love my new blog!
ta-da! my new blog layout. hope you guys like it. must thank blogskins.com. i got my blogskin from there thanks to yvonne and gy. but have to say that most of the skins there are vey girly so it was a big headache!

yes yes. my new hairstyle! haha. is it nice? well, i really like it. it is not too wild and at least i look more presentable. haha. during that day when i was going to change my hair, my feeelings were literally up and down. first, it was nervousness. anticipation seeps in. and when my hair was under construction, my mind was in a pool of whirlwind, could not wait to see the end results. the moment i put on my spectacles, i felt happy and excited! so excited that i kicked onto something in the shop. haha. then back to anxiety, scared that i would get the disapproval and hence the naggings from my dad. BUT my dad approved! he thought it was nice! hahahaa.

cant believe i swam 2 days in a row. my hands are damn aching now. swam with duane last night. this morning, wanted to go gym with shijin but there were too many people in the gym so we headed for the pool. so healthy! hahaha...

just signed the contract today. will be working with Singapore Pools for the world cup. good money and everything. Thanks gy for introducing to me the job. hahaha...

oh ya, monday was the day i would never forget! being a holiday due to polling day, my dad did not go to work. so i had the chance to fetch my youngest brother to school. muahahah. so shiok driving during the almost-peak hour, plus the fact that my dad was sleeping at home. hahaha. cool!

Sunday, May 07, 2006:my week
a little update about me for the past week. i had been real busy giving tuition due to exams and went for job interview too. i will be woking in Singapore Pools soon and accepting bets for the upcoming world cup. haha. thanks gy for jio-ing me. clare went for the interview too!

the interview was crap. basically they just want young people who can work into the night i think.

i have been watching the korean serial, Sassy girl too. going to finish soon. it is a romantic comedy. and the show is a typical korean show where hearts will be melted and tears shed. basically it is about A and B are engaged during their high school days due to some cock reason. and their feelings for each other grow unknowingly. then, C loves A and D loves B. so C and D work up plans individually to spoil that engagment.

the thing i prefer korean shows to local ones are firstly, the relationships are not complicated. for example i am not exaggerating when i say that in local shows, A loves B but B loves C. C loves D but D loves A. it gets boring and not interesting.

secondly, the villians are really unsrcupulous. they try to go all out to destroy, ie making the male lead go to jail and forced the female lead to break up in order for the male lead to get out when they are so deeply in love.

the show succeeded in making me feel touched and frustrated in those scenes.

just heard the news about the elections. my parents had a small tiff over the results one being the PAP supporter and the other being the opposition supporter. wanted to laugh out so bad. as to all of you out there to ask about my feelings, all i can say is,

JUST AS I WANT TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, I AM KNOCKED BY THE HAMMER.

haha. and zh just told me that statement is lame. bleah.

Tuesday, May 02, 2006:exciting day since a fortnight???
hmm.. in response to gy on my tagboard, i have to say that not all dreams were listed as dreams add on and some dreams are confidential to me. :) BUT, no wet dreams, dun worry. hahaha.

tutored my cousin this morning after which rushed down to tutor another sec 1 kid. never felt so drained before. think is because i have been sleeping late nights while teaching my youngest brother. hope he does well in the exams man!

anyway, went out after that. met up with chay beng, gy, duane and rayner! yes, rayn is back in singapore! his hair is sure funky now. too bad he did not carry american accent. haha. quite a refreshing outing, after which we went to ktv. haha. just love many new songs! :)

but felt bad and paiseh to bang4 seh1 them to meet up with my ct council friends at bugis. we went to 85 at bedok to eat supper. thanks zh for the ride home! could not believe we talk so much about the elections. haha. too bad we cant vote this year.

just hope that these 2 weeks just fly as fast as an arrow. then no more tuitions for a while! looking forward to meet up with my classmates in 2 weeks time. :P
