decadence

had a surprise birthday party for rachel last night at amogh's place and it was great fun... was mainly the councillors and random people [ fine, not random in that sense of the word but ya] vegetarian indian food was yummy. i can live without the meat for a day but i suppse not the guys.. and boy was the tiramisu fantastic. it was great seeing everyone after so long and nice to talk more to people i never really did while in school.
in anycase the rest of the pics are under feb05 at the side..
funny how parties have evolved over time. from those kiddy party games.. to just sitting around n chatting.. makes you feel older.. considering its the last year of teenhood.. before you hit the big 2.
i woke up at 930 this morning but i'm feeling sluggish now.. which explains this extremely disjointed post.
i think i shall heed the advice of ms koh.. enjoy myself as much as possible before d day.. cooking, the zoo and sentosa[hopefully].. bring it on.

Filiae Melioris Aevi

i'm eating animal biscuits now. (lee laoshi who just passed by said pointedly that its unhealthy)which in anycase remind me so much of my uniformed days. how cute. i have no idea why i can't survive a few days of waking up at6. i mean during the prelim days i used to wake up at 4 just to mug. what happened? i think i lost the almost superhuman abilities that most students have to subsist on minimal sleep. so now on my last day of work and last day of the week, i'm stuck with eye bags and feeling all so dreary and stoned. blah. and by the way, i'm already finished for the day. had a sec 1 class in the morning and they were absolutely adorable. i hope they're happy with the sweets i got them. i suppose i'm lucky to be doing relief teaching in rg cuz the girls are really well behaved as compared to say some neighbourhood school [generalisations aside]. the worse they can get is to try and weasle their way out of work[sec 3s] and watch their video tape of some serial with long ze xiu ming inside whom i personally think is rather cute too, which explains why the girls were screaming when he took off his shirt. the standard of work now is so much higher as compared to when i was in rgs. when there's mcq, there are 2 parts: the answer, and the reason. to make sure you fully understand what you're doing and not like toss a coin or eraser to make your choice.
i wish i didn't have to go so soon. despite getting stressed each nite over what to wear to work the next day and freaking out when i'm stumped by some question[why are polymers in single structures? i didn't learn it during my time man] i will miss sitting in my corner just next to the pantry, yakking away on the laptop that i've laid claim on the past few days. i'll miss the saying hi to teachers i know and just picking up scraps of conversation from all over the office. i'll miss the students.
i know i'm probably making a big deal out of nothing but yes i'll miss this relief teaching job.
**

everyone's been pretty wound up over the results and i admit at times i do get stabs of anxiety. like a punch in my stomach which takes all the air out of me. i can accept whatever results i get. i'm the pro at that. its just the problem of having to face everyone.. the teachers whom i'll probably have to explain to that i was havin tonsilitis during the As. and after awhile, its gonna just come out all lame and flat. my rather useless shield.then there's the friends i have to deal with.by all means do hug.. but there's a sense of awkwardness.. trying to be tactful and not knowing what to do. right. snap out of it. i'm sounding all soppy and wet.

She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry

back in my alma mater

i'm currently sitting in the teachers' office in RG... got a job relieving chem [of all things] until friday. believe me, i have no idea what possessed me to agree to teach a subject that i have not touched in years. maybe it was the prospect of coming back to the place that i loved so much and being in a familiar environment all over again. but i was seriously freaking out last night, reading the chem textbook, refreshing my memory about bonds.. covalent and ionic and all that jazz. i was also throwing out everything from my closet just finding proper stuff to wear to school.. and so far i've only settled today's and tomorrow's clothes.. i have no idea wat to wear. i've been a denim, short skirt kinda girl.. absolutely nono for a teacherly look.
maybe he's right. i seek thrill in my life. taking risks. just thinking about the stuff i've done in my life so far and i actually think he's right. i love the excitement. i like routine but i don't like boredom.whatever.
in any case, i've been spending the morning going through the power point slides for tml's lessons. i've had only one prac today with the sec 3s and it went pretty ok i must say. hung around after lesson to talk to a bunch of them and was faced with a barrage of questions.. what school i was from, what cca.. yadda yadda.
its been real nice to see my old teachers. had coffee in the pantry with mrs lim who has been really nice..making sure the prac stuff are already done, talking to me, introducing me to teachers. and i met ms lim in the toilet!! will always remember her and her cleaning duties..then there's lee laoshi who's pregnant again.. chen laoshi who remembers me from sec 2! all right. haha. yea.. and i just said hi to mrs chia... the psb days.
i'm rambling away... and quite happy to be here. but tml is gonna be a heavy day.. 2 pracs and 2 lessons as compared with today..

i've always loved rgs and i always will.. everything.. it all seems to fit like a glove. seeing the gals at prac reminded me of the endless laughs i had in the labs.. the wonderful building.. the canteen food which totally rox. absolutely smashing dah-ling.

therapeutic

there's retail therapy, spa therapy and then there's hair therapy. haircuts always make me feel happy.. well more or less. unless its a bad one. its like the shedding of the old and stepping out of the salon feeling much lighter than when you came in. so i had it done today and out i stepped feeling and looking rather jappish while shobs looks rather retro and somewhat like the peterpan in finding neverland. i can't quite decide which is which but she looks really good. i'm glad she and i agree about stuff like that.. makes goin out so much easier and did i mention she's a fellow fan of subway n its oatmeal cookies which i think beat the choc chip ones hands down and an absolute admirer of yumi yoghurt... so we made our way down to scotts for yoghurt, sampling gorgeous chocolate along the way.. i even contemplated walking by the girl again for more.
but gawd that would be an absolute sin for me.. calories *the horror* and not to mention the endless goodies i still have at home which i always seem to find some excuse for mine consuming them. somehow signing up for hip hop classes today makes me feel that bit better about myself. maybe it'll improve my psychomotor skills and i won't be such a klutz anymore. wish me luck.

desire..

working in town is a hazard to my bank account.it seems that i find more stuff which i desire to lay my hands on when i walk past shops without the purpose of shopping rather than walking around all armed and ready to chalk up receipts. so i saw a really cute mini skirt and a hot pink spag top.. and then when i passed perlini's silver some pendant on display was big enough to catch my eye when i was merely passing by..
and then there's this niggling temptation to buy that huge box of strawberries i saw at paragon's marketplace just to indulge.. they're incredibly huge.. GM most probably and not to mention the crazy price. 18 bucks.. but its all just so tempting..
help.

emotional

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy, but sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel emotional

You say I'm just impossible
Totally unpredictable
I'm just a girl get use to it
No big deal
You can't change me why would you try?
I'm no angel but I can make you smile
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am
Don't give up
I won't hurt you
Oh, sometimes I'm just a pain
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

move ya body girl

the new year's been pretty good i must say.
thurs: i decided to go pink and wear a flower in my hair. visited my grandma while my dad nagged at my supposed too low top [ but hey... my aunt got it for me. ain't my fault.]and so we bumped into my uncle's 2 english friends there as well and i was charmed by their accent. how absolutely charming dahling.its the same with jude law... so anyway, one of them was being pretty amusing with his jokes abt the nazis and the jews and the fortune cat.. oh and i had pretty good champagne as well. brings back memories of champagne in melbourne with loads of good food. then i was whisked off to the airport to see lim off in my cousin's uber funky mercedes sports... ahhh.. i want one too. it was fun cruising along the highway.
saying goodbye is always hard but i guess it was even harder for him to say goodbye to so many people. hugs n tears n heartache n touching heartfelt words.. i'll miss him. went over to my uncle's place after that where everyone had steamboat dinner which i missed for bk. in any case i always love my uncle's place during new year.. loads of goodies. haha. but thats not the point. i think the creative genes run in the family which somehow skipped me. my elder cousin is now into making earrings and she intends to set up an online business and her earrings are really funky. i bought one pair while she gave me another for my belated birthday cum christmas present..her earrings have been hot property amongst the relatives. everyone has been buying them on the spot. including me.

had some girl time on fri at billy bombers then at coffee club then at spotlight. real happy n excited for a close friend... :) listening to the OST of shall we dance and my feet feel all so jiggly. one moment i wanna sizzle the dance floor with a sexy tango,or even sway my hips to the rhythm of salsa and the next i want to dance to the swing of the big band, and then there's the nice waltz and the slow piano for the dance you save for your special someone..

yesterday was spent visiting leslie's, justin's n xiaofeng's houses. lots of mahjong and blackjack.. was doing pretty ok throughout the day not losing or winning and then i lost a whole lot of money in the nite on mahjong.. *grumbles* i don't wanna play already. blame it on bad fengshuai. i only like gamed a pathetic 3 times or something not to mention i had to get someone to take over.. i couldnt last. but utimately it was a day of a whole lot of food,noise, new year greetings and lots of fun.
---------
vday is on monday and i guess its real shallow how people compare the size of their bouquets. but somehow i suppose its the human paradox. one always wants attention and to be the object of admiration.. no matter how much of a saint you are, underneath it all, there's always something that wants it. a matter of reason and emotion. childish or even primal you might call it but thats the way people are.
vday is too over publicized and too trite you might say. but somehow one can't help but want something on that day.. couples go out for the sake of it [cuz everyday is vday to them[, singles grab their friends and have fun to show that its no biggie, friends [esp girls] get vday presents for their girlfriends.. (i know i used to do that in school and yes it feels good to get something too )the rest just simply can't be bothered.in denial.. i might say.

and its back to work tml... nooo.

lets wine and dine

the chinese new year holiday bug has gotten to me. i've been stoning quite abit at home since i don't go visiting all that much and it doesn't mean that i've been putting my time to good use. the weather is just to warm to do anything and i believe my brain has atrophied. so i've been just whiling my time away at home doing nothing and trying hard to go easy on the pineapple tarts. dinner the past 2 nights has been good. lots of good food. esp last nite where i was being force fed.. well almost. i wasn't free from it even in my cousin's room playing with his xbox and happily kicking ass. red wine.. yoghurt drink... pineapple tarts.. didn't help that he proclaimed with much glee that he wanted to see me get nice and fat. !@$#!..
gonna visit my gran later on in the afternoon then see lim off at the airport... *sniffles*wish i didn't have to.

happy CNY

i'm a firm believer of the economic theory "supply creates demand". pity i never appreciated it during my JC days but now its like the gospel truth to me. cuz my mind keeps drifting to those new year goodies in the kitchen and in the living room whenever i'm bored. discipline.discipline.bah. which i'm quite lacking. proof is in the way i stuffed my face after gymming this morning. seriously it just nullifies the whole thing.
its CNY eve and the past few days have been an endless slew of spring cleaning. or rather my parents were a whirlwind about the house. my dad even took leave just to do spring cleaning.*salute*dinner later and tml and all i can see is myself pigging out... haha. but yea the angbows are good too. helps that i'm feeling a little short on cash at the moment.
its a sultry hot afternoon and this is an incredibly inane post. bah.

what a girl wants...

seeing eric bana in the trailer for black hawk down[which i attempted to watch on screens but got thrown out cuz i wasn't 16 yet] just activated the vava voom part of my brain. cuz he's sooo hot. i've got a thing for guys in uniform.
but guys in the free weight section of the gym are a different matter all together. they're scary. today, i ventured into what was out of bounds to me before to pick up a pathetic dumbell and felt so self consious. in a way that i looked at myself in the mirror and felt so scrawny like a toothpick. all the other guys were big, rather buff (which is kinda relative) and tan..all of which i am not. if any one of them sat on me.. i think i'll be flatter than pancake. being on a personal basis one on one with a big guy is cool.. but not when there's like a whole bunch of them.. its like i'm encroaching on their territory. ah.. and i find new land.

oh and i saw my lower sec pe teacher while running around the stadium today... she was coaching the national girls soccer team i think. i just didn't have the guts to go up to say hi.she probably wouldn't have remembered who i was anyway.but it was pretty cool seeing gals doing stuff that guys do..

and i spy new year goodies with my little eye.. so the pigging out has begun. i sneaked 2 pineapple tarts. and its only the start.
-----
listening to 'smile' while walking in and i suddenly just felt like dancing under the stars.. i can't do much abt the romantic in me and neither can i do much abt the little gal in me. i bought this box of pooh plasters today and i realized that every single plaster in the box has a different design. the one that didn't manage to stick on my palm landed up on my discman. i really couldn't bear to throw it away. it was waaay to cute. the same way i wanna watch heffalump. yes.. people roll your eyes.

love to give

it's sad how relationships are so fragile. how people drift apart when they don't see each other for long periods of time.first you start to forget how they speak, then you forget the way they look.. then if time is long enough you start to forget how they made you feel. then very soon they are just shadows. figures you know you once came across.
i love my girlfriends. every single one of them. i love them for everything they've done for me, for being themselves and just being those girlfriends i know i'll never be able to replace. i can't put everything in words so all i'm saying is a big thank you and a hug.
so it was really nice meetin up with the girls even though it was a short one.
------
i need cash since i have a feeling my current pay isn't enough to support my lifestyle. transport is a sucker... shopping which i've really been controlling. *i promise* presents.. food, attempting to save and build up my pathetic savings account since i started a new personal one from scratch just this year.
and i've been so inspired to take up dance classes since i watched shall we dance.. yes i'm doing it even though i have 2 left feet. i'll prove my detractors wrong.. even if it means embarrasing myself.. provided my enthusiasm lasts long enough to get myself into a class..
