In my previous post in here before I stopped blogging for a loooong time, I wrote about my feelings for my first job. I wrote about how I love the workplace etc etc. And today, I am writing again to say that I will be officially out of that place in 2 weeks time.

Yes, everything was rosy initially. Ok, not really. Cos on my first day there, my P made it very clear to me that she disliked me. She made me do all the nonsensical tasks such as wrapping of the children's storybooks, typing out the centre's portfolio all on my first day. I didn't think too much of it then cos I thought, "Ok, I should be modest and just do it right?" But boy! Was I wrong! Everything just went downhill from then on. Here's just some of the worst moments I had there.

Incident 1

After my graduation ceremony which was like in mid June last year, I presented her my degree certificate for record purposes.

P: "What's this?"
Me: "My degree cert."
P: "Oh.. Early Childhood or degree lain?"
Me: "Early Childhood lah."
P: "You give me for what?"

In my heart, "Why you so stupid ah? Basket!"

Incident 2

I had already tendered and I had an interview to attend in the evening on one particular day so I asked her.

Me: "Mdm, I want to take time off today. Can I leave at about 3+?"
P: "For what?"
Me: "For some personal stuffs I need to settle."
P: "No, cannot. If you leave, I'm going to cut your half day salary."
Me: "Half day even though I leave just 2 hours earlier? I might as well go home at 12!"

In my heart, "Oh wow! Such double standard! The other teachers can leave at 1 or 2 without getting a pay cut!"

Actually there's just too many incidents for me to pen down here. But I think I've made the right choice to leave the place cos I am no longer happy there. But of course, I had my joyful moments there too.

1) I have awesome colleagues. Ok, except for 1 or 2 losers. But yeah, my colleagues are great. We bond a lot over that pathetic 1 hour lunch (sometimes less) and I will miss them dearly.

2) I have done up my classroom so beautifully last December with the help of Yusri. And it is actually quite sad to bring down most of the things which we had painstakingly cut, pasted, laminated, painted, hanged.

3) I will miss the children whom I taught last year. Not the ones I am currently teaching cos I have a bunch of monkeys and donkeys this year.

Anyway, after weighing all the pros and cons of this workplace, I know that it is best to leave now then later cos the longer I stay there, the harder it would be to leave. So, sayonara ***! It was ~~good~~ while it lasted.

So last week (21st June), was my first official working day at a new school, new teachers and new students. And I must say that before I met the children, that was when before school reopened, I was convinced that I had made the wrong choice to be teaching there. And Surya felt the same way too even though we were in different centres.

BUT, once I met the kids last Monday, I felt that I had made the right choice after all. The kids were an amazing bunch and I am more than happy to be teaching and joking around with them. I really look forward to seeing them 5 days a week and yes, I LOVE MY JOB! :)

2010-06-17T20:47:00.009+08:00

Yesterday was one of the few significant moments of my life. One that I would definitely treasure for a long time as it marks the end of college life and the beginning of adulthood (read: working life). And I have many people to thank for making yesterday possible for me because without their continuous encouragment and support, I wouldn't be where I am today.

And yes, in case you still do not get me, yesterday was the commencement day for Wheelock College, Class of 2010, the Exceptional 62!

It is finally in my hands! :)

Yes girls, we made it and lived up to our motto! We survived. hahaha

And to all these people, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love you all! Muacks! hehe

2010-05-19T22:21:00.003+08:00

Last weekend, one of my classmate got married. It was the most simple yet meaningful wedding I must say. And it was also the first time I stepped into a church! Anyway, congratulations Yvette & John!

And thanks dear, for being our chaffeur for the day. Ok, no.. Not on that ride. I wish! haha

2010-05-13T22:50:00.012+08:00

Hello! I'm back from Korea few days ago and fully rejuvenated! The graduation holiday was super duper fun.

Weather was cool, unlike this hot and humid Singapore. We stayed in a guesthouse near a palace. And the location of our guesthouse was pretty near the shopping district. So yeah, we shopped like practically every day! haha

Us, inside the palace. A very cool place, really.

And then, we spent almost half of the day searching for the mosque! But it was worth it cos the mosque is really beautiful!

On the same day too, we met a really nice guy by the name of Mr Kim at the shoe store. He really went all out to look for the perfect size for Surya! And even knocked on the shoe to prevent blisters. Haha

The next day, we visited the Seoul Tower as well as the Teddy Bear Museum. As it was Children's Day on that day, the place was very crowded! And I had my first taste of Grilled Squid! Yummeh!

And then we went to Everland, a beautiful fairy tale like place!

So naturally, we spent practically 3/4 of the time taking pictures! Haha. And I even got a passport photo for free, courtesy of Surya of cos! Ok, inside joke. haha. But by mid day we were almost frozen cos the weather was very very cold!

We also went to Nami island, the location of Winter Sonata. Another beautiful place! I wish I could get married there. Hehe. If I do, I bet I would have to drag myself in the wedding gown and take our own pictures cos it would be too expensive to drag the photographer along. Haha

Prior to that, we met another Mr Kim who had just gotten off his night shift. He was too kind and accompanied us all the way to Nami island just so that we would not go lost again. Haha

We also visited the shop in the show The Coffe Prince. Well, the place is just so so. We stayed there for like 15 minutes only cos the menu sucks. Haha. And the people, OMG! So action ok..

And that is it. The short but memorable graduation trip. Looking forward to our next holiday girls! :)

For more pictures, proceed to my Facebook page. Thank you.

Before the clock strikes 12 midnight, I better blog fast. Know why? That's because today marks our 5th Anniversary! Yay us! *clap clap* (immitating London Tipton from Zack & Cody) haha

You know, I really cannot believe that we've been together for 5 years already! It felt like I was only 17 a year ago. Haha. Ok, fat hope! But really, time really flies huh? And babe, you have 3 years left to fulfill your promise. hahaha. And I'm sure time will fly even faster then.

So anyway, we celebrated our anniversary 3 days earlier because 2nd May falls on a Sunday, and we hate the crowd on weekends. So, we went out on Thursday, for some good ol fun with each other's company. A simple day yet worth a thousand memories. I shall end this post with a few pictures from the very memorable day.

Started the day by the beach and the card competition. *clears throat* I obviously won the competition. hahaha. Look at the card he is holding.

And before it began to pour, we made our way to Cash Studio and sang out hearts out like two love birds. haha. And I made him sing the song which I wanted to be for our wedding. hahahaha. Just keep on practicing..

And we ended the day with good buffet spread that made his tummy bloated at Sakura. hehehe

& That's all for now. Jetting off tomorrow for some Kimchi lovin'! See you soon!

2010-04-24T15:08:00.000+08:00

I hope it remains this cool next week. Ooh, so excited!!

2010-04-12T23:15:00.003+08:00

I had never been this nervous before when printing my assignments. But this time, I am like constantly checking and reading through each printed piece again because only God knows how much effort, time and mood swings it took for me and my partner, Amirah to get it all together. Furthermore, we have been working on this research paper since last August I think? So the contents of it are definitely too precious and should anything have happened, I would even tear blood. haha

So, anyway we will be having the commencement briefing and gown fitting tomorrow. Excited you know... haha.

Ok, till next time when I have something else to blog about instead of just about school! 2 days left, 1 more class to go..

2010-04-07T21:56:00.001+08:00

A great loss to the Wheelock family.
RIP Dr Joan Bergstrom.

Hello! I am back from the longest break ever. From blogging at least. :) And for those who asked, Phuket was awesome! Great weather, food, activities and massage! hehe

Anyway, now that it is already April, I am a lot more free than the past 3 months or so. That's because I am going to be done with school in another 10 days time! Jumps up and down with joy now! Yay yay! With the last day of school around the corner, I am very very excited about my future as a career woman. Finally, no more lectures to attend, assignments deadlines to meet, and all the nonsense that come with it for at least the next 3 years. So come April 14, I will be presenting the last presentation and at 11am, I will be like a bird, ready to fly. :)

We will then be going for our graduation holiday in May and that is something I am looking forward to! After which, it is time to settle down, put our heads together and work our ass off. Time to earn big bucks now and settle the CPF education loan or whatever it is called. :(

I'm pretty much psych about the future right now because I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. So yeah, it is finally graduation bebeh!

2009-12-14T22:59:00.002+08:00

Body is in need of a good massage and spa.
Body needs to be pampered after a year of hardwork.
Therefore, I am giving my body a well deserved break in Phuket!

2009-12-10T00:56:00.002+08:00

I am in love with this bag! It is only USD 89. Hehe. Baby, please? :D

2009-12-06T18:24:00.002+08:00

I love this story because when you have almost everything, all you need is a good beary hug from your loved ones. (:

"I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me. All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” - Jackie Robinson

I am sure all of us want to be treated with respect from the people around us. And to gain respect from others, all we have to do is respect them first because after all, it takes two hands to clap. And you have no one else to blame but yourself if others choose not to respect you anymore. As the saying goes, what comes around comes around.

I don't spend close to 5 years studying early childhood education and a bomb on my education just so that you can step on my head and treat me like your maid, or worse, your slave. This thing about parents treating teachers as though we owe them a living has got to stop, seriously. I've worked in many centres before and this centre has got the worst breed of parents ever! Like seriously, calling the teachers stupid? Shouting at them in front of other children? Never appreciating a single thing the teachers have done?

Well, you can complain to all the authorities you want. You can swear you will not let the teachers hold down a single job ever. But you're not God. The power isn't in your hands. Just let me warn you that life is a cycle. You may be oh so mighty now but trust me, you will get a taste of your own medicine someday.

On a sidenote, if I ever see that bitch on the street someday, don't blame me if I give her a good slap. Well, that would be on behalf of all the teachers in that centre. Thank you

2009-11-22T13:35:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, Mirta and I attended WGS 10th Anniversary Nite at the new air conditioned hall. Mirta was sitting in for her boss so we basically got in for free! The food served was good but abit too much. And I was already full after the 4th ot 5th round? The concert was great? The teachers there are a lot younger now and yes, that's me with our former form teacher who was also our Biology teacher.

And if anyone remembered, the top I was wearing was so 5 years ago! hahaha. But it still fits. And this photo was taken during prom nite back in 2004.

Oh, how I miss those days! And thanks Mirta for inviting me to be your +1! (:

2009-11-12T00:17:00.000+08:00

Please, dear? (:

2009-10-26T01:18:00.003+08:00

I haven't been blogging much due to a few reasons.

1) I do not know where to start because there is so much to talk about.

2) I think I need some time away from this cyberworld where everything you say might just be used against you someday.

Anyway, I am working right now. Yes, like finally I got a job. It was never this hard before but yeah, whatever. This time however, I do not really enjoy working at the centre even though I was attached there during my 3rd year in NP. It's hard to describe the feeling. Could it be the teachers? The children? The environment? I am still searching for an answer. Nevertheless, I am still glad that I've found a job.

During this break too, I finally got the chance to sit down and continue my reading(s). No, not textbooks but storybooks which I had lug all the way from Boston. Haha. Yes, that long ago. My current read is Julie&Julia which will be in the theatres soon? It was already shown in Boston in June/July I think? I think it's a good read and it makes me reflect a lot you see. I'm gonna catch the movie for sure.

Apart from working, I want to accomplish several things during this 3 month long vacation as well. And those things are better left unsaid because being me, I dream more than I accomplish, most of the time. Haha. I bet everyone does. As the saying goes, 'Always aim for the moon, cos even if you miss, you'll land among the stars'.

Before I'm out of here, I would like to wish my best friend of all time, Mirta Syazanna a very happy 21st birthday! Finally, huh? hahaha

2009-10-05T14:10:00.002+08:00

Year 2, Sem 1 has offcially ended last Wednesday. So right now, I just wanna catch up on my sleep and then start working. Not to forget, there's Action Research to be completed as well. Anyway, the past few weeks have been good. Mainly due to all the Hari Raya visits and such. haha. Actually I don't have any other things to update about. So I shall take a nap now because I need to catch up on my sleep. Bye!

2009-09-14T20:47:00.000+08:00

It really irks me when I read in the papers that many of the "adults" who have been in the workforce for years are planning to switch to become early childhood educators.

Don't tell me you have a sudden interest in children at the age of 30+ or maybe even 40? Truth is, you become interested just because the respective organizations are offering higher salary now than in the past.

Oh, and another interesting point to note was they were even willing to sacrifice a 40% pay cut. Stop all the bullshit and just admit that you got fired from your last job because the economy isn't doing so well and the education field is the most stable of all.

And yeah, don't tell me that I am too young to teach. Cos at least I started from the bottom.

Thank you.

2009-09-01T00:06:00.003+08:00

It's been 52 months (ie: 4yrs 4 mths) since we first started and honestly, I don't know how we made it this far. Although I am suspecting that we have high tolerance of each other. haha.

But right now, all I know is that if most people never find love, then we must be an exception! (:

And for that, ILY. now and always

2009-08-31T00:04:00.001+08:00

My August.

2009-08-28T13:35:00.001+08:00

Blogger is being such a bitch.

2009-08-08T23:59:00.002+08:00

The other day, Yus & I were talking about our birthdays and how cool it would be if our children (haha!) are born on let's say, 20/06 or 17/09.

That's because, my birthday is on 19/07. Yusri's birthday is on 18/08.
Maybe, we could get married on 17/09. That way, we'll have a celebration every month! hahaha

If you still don't get it, nvm. Only smart ones will. :)

2009-08-04T15:12:00.000+08:00

I really don't know if I should cut my hair or not. My fringe is too long, and so doesn't look like a fringe anymore. But, I like its volume now. hahaha.

Why is this blogger thing looking like shit?

Ok oops! I'm fasting today so yeah, mind my manners. haha

Damn, I wanna go on a holiday all year round. Wouldn't that be fun?

2009-07-21T02:53:00.007+08:00

I couldn't ask for a better birthday when my birthday was spent in New York with my 2 best buddies! Woohoooo

I love NYC!!

And to complete the picture,

A gorgeous diamond ring from none other than my bestest boyfriend in the whole wide world! OMG! This is when actions speak louder than words. He passed the gift to Haz a few days before we departed and so, here it is now. It is the sweetest thing ever and I can't imagine him doing it actually. But yes, he did! So, I love you dear! Hehe

Back to the celebration, we had seafood at a restaurant and the lobster was good!

And so that was my 21st birthday. I thank Haz and Surya for being such wonderful friends, Yusri for being so sweet, and Mirta & Alip for being part of the plan. Thank you guys!

2009-07-16T12:32:00.003+08:00

It's the countdown from today onwards.

3 more days till my 21st!
8 more days till farewell Boston and hello reality. blah

And from then on, it will be "What happens in Boston, stays in Boston".

So many things that I'm gonna miss. Will start on that later on. But yeah, right now its like living a dream and I am not ready to face the reality yet.

2009-07-13T11:14:00.002+08:00

To the boyfriend,

Thanks a lot for you-know-what. haha. And I love you babe! A few more days to go now..

From Boston, with love.
hehe

2009-07-12T14:09:00.004+08:00

Welcome to Six Flags New England!

Where all the supergirls come together.

And not forgetting Wonder Woman, The Flash and all the other superheroes.

To scream our heads off during the roller coaster rides.

So there, more flags, more fun! I had a great Six Flags Day!

2009-07-03T10:58:00.008+08:00

Last Saturday, we went out of Boston to Salem, or better known as the witch city. The town is spooky by itself and a lot colder than Boston. So we basically visited the famous witch museum and dungeon and learnt a lot about the history of witchcraft. Not much shopping there. However, we almost wanted to buy the witch broom. hahaha

Spooky enough? haha

And on Sunday, we went to the New England Aquarium as well as whale watching. The aquarium is a lot better than the Underwater World back in SG. haha.

I think that's a crab behind me.

Whale watching was a totally new experience by itself. We were over at the Atlantic Ocean and the current or the waves made me puke my lunch when the whale came out!

But it was really an amazing and spectacular experience because we got to see the whales feeding and jumping around, all in their natural environment.

Ok, that's all for now. Up next on our agenda is Blue Man, Six Flags and hopefully Cape Cod. Woohooo.. So excited! And no school tomorrow because Saturday is independance day! Double woohhoo!!

2009-06-27T23:53:00.001+08:00

A ball of a time at the garden party with my Wheelock girls. Not to forget the after party photoshoot, of girls gone wild. haha

2009-06-24T23:18:00.001+08:00

We went crazy at Cambridge Galleria Mall. Shopping was heaven, pockets burnt. Enough said.

2009-06-21T17:39:00.004+08:00

After 26 long hours, we finally reached Boston on Thursday 845pm, Boston time. Because Boston is 12 hours behind SG, we actually went through the 18th of June twice. Cool right? haha. Had major jet lag initially. But I think we're fine now. Anyway, weather is very cool here. It's suppose to be summer but we only saw the sun yesterday and it was rainy every now and then. Weather is very unpredictable here. Should have brought my thicker jacket along. Hurhur

Anyway anyway, this is the pic on our first night at the dorm lobby. We actually though we had locked ourself out of the building. haha. But we eventually learnt how to use the card system.

Ok, I think I'm gonna go jog now. The buffet breakfast they serve us every day is heaven! I hope I don't gain extra kilos when I get home. Haha. For more pictures, take a look at my FB. Thanks, bye!

2009-06-09T22:36:00.002+08:00

I'll get out of ~~California~~ Singapore
I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover (oh, oops!)
And fly em out to Spain

I think I'll go to Boston
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town
To leave this all behind

I think I need a sunrise
I'm tired of the sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer (hopefully!)
Some snow would be nice

Boston.. Where no one knows my name..

2009-06-08T21:11:00.002+08:00

A walk down memory lane yesterday.

So, tell me. It has been what? 8 years? But you girls are still the same as before. Ok, except for all the different hairstyles. haha

2009-06-02T21:21:00.004+08:00

A new gadget. With a wide angle lens, I am now able to capture Yusri's head in full. haha

Let's take a look.

All heads captured in full. haha. Oh, and the flash doesn't hurt my eye one bit.

So there, a camera that is worth every penny. Thank god, my sister is willing to buy my old camera. haha.

And one last thing, I am starting to understand why some say that Yusri and I look like siblings. Ok la, can lah.. But I am the younger one of cos! hurhur

2009-05-31T15:08:00.001+08:00

"I'm not angry, I'm just saying;
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance."

2009-05-02T23:46:00.006+08:00

Today is the 2nd of May, and we turned 4! (: (: (:

But we had our mini celebration last Wednesday due to several reasons. The first being, the 2nd of May falls on a Sat, so it's pretty much crowded everywhere. Secondly, yesterday was a Public Holiday so no to that as well. And on Thursday, I had to go for my Visa interview. So, yeah.. An early celebration.

Anyway, this year we didn't do much except for a good dinner at none other than Carousel. The way to a man's heart is definitely through his stomach! haha

A very nice waiter offered to take this picture for us. We didn't take that many photos that evening because we were busy eating and then, it was already too dark to take any pictures. I hate using the flash you see.

But just for old times sake, I'm gonna post pictures of our past anniversary celebration. hehe

If anyone remembered, we went to the zoo on our third anniversary. hahaha. He needed to show off his gf to his friends, the chimpanzees.

In 2007, we went to Carousel as well but we had High Tea then. See, food again!

I couldn't quite find the pictures of our 1st anniversary. But I've got this picture, of our 1 monthsary! hahaha. OMG! So kental! hahahahaha. Ok, what do you expect right? It was 2005, fresh out of Secondary school. hahah

So yeah, you can actually see for yourself how much we've grown! Especially him. I've seen him grow fatter, meatier, chubbier & cuter! ahahaha. And not forgetting, all the different hairstyles. But still, I love you babe! I know you will always say you love me more.. haha.

So now, to more years of happiness, tears, & a huge diamond ring! hehehe. Remember, you have 5 years left ya? ;)

xoxo;
me!

2009-04-28T23:31:00.002+08:00

The playgroup children whom I've come to love. Really.. haha

But the one in orange is my favourite. And he calls me kakak. hehe. So adorable!

2009-04-17T20:47:00.006+08:00

I've officially ended the first undergrad year! OMG! It was one taxing year. Picture was taken after the final IT presentation which was totally redundant. And yeah, spot the 2 boring IT lecturers. hahahah.

Moving on, I've started work today! It is very tiring after not working with kids for so long. I was in charge of the toddler class, and all of them are boys except for one. So, imagine that! And they don't speak much since they're all around 18 months+. And I smelled poo from their diapers. Ok, not going into details about that. But since the pay is good, anything goes man! hahaha

And this was taken at Botanic Garden, when we had nothing better to do. hahaha.

Have a good weekend. I am excited to meet the makcik quarters gang tomorrow! (:

2009-04-06T16:43:00.002+08:00

Now that there's only 72 more days left, I am getting very excited although I have yet to get my visa, which is at the end of this month. But as I get very excited, someone is not really excited about the idea of me not being around him 24/7. haha. I'm sure you've figured out who ya?

Anyways, I got an idea, to keep him occupied while I am not by his side. Because he is not someone who deal with separation very well, making him feel as though I am still in SG will certainly make him feel better. (Think, PS: I love you.) haha

Ok, back to my plan. I have decided to create a to do list for him for every single day. I hope that will solve the 'missing and cannot live without me' syndrome. hahahaha

So yeah, it's back to assignments now. The plan will have to continue after 16 April, which is the day when I will be totally stress-free!

2009-04-04T01:26:00.002+08:00

I have 2 weeks left of school and I am so looking forward to the holidays! Lotssa exciting events coming up, which makes me double-y excited! haha

But yeah, for now I have to do a 3000 word essay on the revolution of IT. Sounds stupid. In fact, it is. I should just pay someone to do it for me. Anyone up for it? haha

Finally, I am almost done with my portfolio which is due on Tue, 10am.

And of course, Monday is D-Day for research. I hope my group will present everything that R wants. He is very vague and he does not respond to emails. So, whatever la.

And lastly, my bro is back in SG for god knows how long! Blurgh!

2009-03-15T13:56:00.002+08:00

I realized I had lost my thumbdrive, which contains my research data last night. It was then that I also realized, I had a very supportive bf who sacrificed his sleep just to download the software for me. Oh yea, you rock babe! I love you many many! (:

And of cos, to all the people who showed their love, care and concern towards me and my clumsy bimbo moment. haha. Thank you friends! But my thumbdrive is still nowhere to be found. hurhurhur

Lastly, new haircut yo!

2009-03-05T20:04:00.002+08:00

Psst.. Do you have any ideas on what couples do on their anniversary? Please share some with me because I am in charge of the planning this year. And it's going to happen in about 1 and a half month's time. hurhur

Thank you very much in advance! Oh btw, it's the fourth year. So yeah, nothing too glamorous please. hahaha

2009-03-04T17:50:00.002+08:00

I need to get these things done soon.

1) Hair cut/trim. - My hair is so messy and frizzy and all over the place. My fringe is too long and it is taking longer than usual to blow dry my hair every morning.

2) Compile my portfolio and all the artifacts. - After the diploma course ended, I somehow felt I did not need the assignments anymore and I've dumped it somewhere in one of my colourful boxes. So yeah, gotta go through them now! But Mirta's helping me with something. hehe!

3) Go down to all 3 centres to collect research data. - Hell yeah, this one's tough cos research is always complicated. hurhur

4) Clean up my room. - Apparently, while I was away, my sister has turned the room upside down. Ok, not really. haha. Just not up to my 'cleanliness' standard. hahaha

5) Start exercising again. - Oh yes, I've lost the momentom now due to bad weather of late. haha. Excuses, duhh! What's the gym for rite? But seriously, I'm feeling very lethargic because I haven't been exercising for like 3 weeks?

Alrite, time to go now. Btw, somehow I feel like I haven't celebrated any birthdays in a long time! Wanna know why? Cos all my family members and friends are born in the later half of the year! I've only just realized it. haha.

Ah, it's already March now. Time flies..

2009-02-28T23:32:00.002+08:00

I am back in Sg and I am certainly not in the mood for school. hurhur. But there's the Boston trip to look forward to. ahahaha. Let me see. 7 more weeks of school and I'm halfway through the Degree program.

Oh anyway, I just have a thing against the local lecturers. They just wanna make our lives difficult with their stupid 600 to 800 words reflection, on IT. Its IT for goodness sake! What crap should I write huh? And better still, I did not purchase the book which means I cannot get started during the weekend. How wonderful! So tell me, Wheelock girls.. How many of you have actually completed the reflection? haha. And Research is making my head in spin in all directions. blah

Alrite, I'm gonna drown my sorrows in the shower right now. hahaha.

2009-02-23T15:21:00.011+08:00

I've got more pictures today.

Indoor golf was fun! I've never played golf before but I beat my bro and dad! wheee.. haha

The world's steepest street is right in Dunedin.

The only castle in New Zealand. But too bad, we couldn't take any pics in there. huhu

View from outside the castle.

The ballroom that has been turned into a cafe, was a birthday present for the king's daughter 21st birthday! How lucky! huhu

Some of the flowers in the castle's garden.

On the way to the Albatross.

Magnificient view!

My Titanic moment. Oh wait, where's Jack?

Cadbury World, a chocolate factory tour - ala Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. ahaha

And I was a happy girl because Supre was having a huge sale! OMG! Everything is like between $1.50 to $20. Madness! I could buy the whole shop - if I had lottsa cash on me that is. ahahaha

2009-02-20T21:16:00.006+08:00

It rained the whole of today, and so I didn't go out much except to accompany my dad and bro to the mosque for their Friday prayers. And I could practically freeze to death in the van because it was damn cold, even when I had my gloves on. hurhur

Anyways, we got back late the previous night because we went to the end of New Zealand, which was about 4810km from the South Pole. The wind was madness there but the toilet was cool. It talks to me while I peed. haha

Alrite, I shall post some pics now, for my dearest bf to steal. hahaha. He's much more in love with me when I'm away I think. Well, as the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grows fonder. ahahaha. ya rite!

Dad's cappucino and my hot chocolate, while waiting for my bro to pick us up somewhere in town.

Because I sit alone at the back seat, my dad often start his 'Jangan pandang belakang' joke. Err, okay.. haha. There's really no need to look back because it is pitch black. No pontianak can survive the extremely cold weather either. hahaha

The place which is 4810km away from the South Pole. I wonder who is able to survive such harsh weather condition.

And lastly, as requested by my dearest

Nobody to layan me. So I have to camwhore by myself. huhu. Ok, gdnite! Time for bed.

2009-02-19T08:26:00.006+08:00

A little update on yesterday.

Pacific ocean. The wind is very cold there.

And I met a few friends. The sealions and birdies. haha. The sealions are so lazy, did not even move when I got close.

On the way, we stopped by the "shaven" sheeps and horses. They are practically everywhere since most of the people here own a few herds or so.

Dunedin town area. The shop here closes at 5pm anyway even though it's the so called town.

At night, we visited the Pacific ocean again. And it's well, cool. Literally. haha

Alrite, I'm off to the Warehouse now. Time to shop bebeh! hehehe

2009-02-17T20:58:00.005+08:00

Date & Time Check: 18 Feb, 2am

New Zealand is like 5 hours ahead of Singapore, which explains why I'm still awake. Who sleeps at 9pm rite? haha

Right now, I'm no longer in Queenstown but rather at Dunedin, which was a 4hrs ride via land from Queenstown. My silly brother did not even tell us that the nearest airport was Dunedin and so I had to endure one of the very most dangerous driving around the mountains. I shall emphasise again that it is very dangerous. Phew! I'm so glad I'm safe but I have to endure another round of it when I return. hurhur

Anyways, after the 15 hour plus flight, and I have not showered for close to 24 hours, I am finally here at the lodge which my brother is currently managing. Weather wise, it is freezing 4 degrees right now. And yes, I am shivering! haha

Ok, I shall post some pics which we took while on our way from Queenstown to Dunedin.

The mountain which will turn into a skiing heaven when winter arrives. Although it was sunny, the wind was brrrrr....

My brother said the moutains behind us were where the shooting of the Lord of the Rings trilogy took place. I'm not a big fan, so I have no idea. haha

Hurhur.. I wish the rest of the family could join us too. Another time perhaps?

Ok, till then.. I shall update when I can't seem to sleep again. Byebye!!

2009-02-16T12:45:00.002+08:00

The best thing about me, is you.

Cheer up and have fun while I'm gone. (:
I know you'll miss me! haha. But I'll be back soon bebeh!

going, going, gone away...

2009-02-15T01:41:00.002+08:00

Little Auni - Possibly one of the cutest toddler ever. hahaha

I think she looks like the mouse in ratoutouille. Don't you agree?

2009-02-04T23:53:00.002+08:00

I figured I should start going through the forms and try to complete the vast amount of forms for the Boston trip. But I am actually going crazy right now, trying to retrieve the amount in my PSEA account, my immunization record, the financial standing letter and all the other stuffs, amidst all the final assignments. So yeah, good luck to me!

1 week left of school now. Oh gosh!

2009-01-31T23:19:00.002+08:00

Always great to have you around, babe. Or rather, dude. ;)

2009-01-27T23:45:00.005+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year y'all!

The long weekend did not make me very productive after all. Initially, I had planned to rest the whole of Saturday, which means no assignments to be touched at all. haha

And Sunday, was the karaoke outing with the Wheelock girls. Of course, it was 4 hours of non stop singing, or more like screaming our hearts out. To makcik!! haha. Ok, inside joke. But I think you know. hahaha

A few of the Malay girls whom I've come to love. ahahaha

I have nothing much to update actually cos it has been school school school every day. But this sem's kindda fun. I've learnt to socialise well now. hehehe. School's in again tomorrow. But it's ok because Thursday is our off day! Ooh wheee..

And now, I shall end with my favourite picture of the month.

awww... hehehehe

2009-01-11T19:08:00.002+08:00

Meet my new baby. haha

The old Acer is so blah and since it's a new semester, I need to get a new laptop to assist me in the 50+ assignments that are due in a span of 6 weeks. Hopefully too, I will be more productive and blog more often! It's getting pretty stale in here. haha

And now, back to completing 9 assignments that are due this week. How great, I've only managed to complete 3. Cheers to more assignments people! -_-

2008-12-06T23:18:00.002+08:00

A little update on my not so interesting but worth blogging life. haha

1) I'm not working anymore. The company decided to fire me! Ok, no. Haha. It was time for me to leave because the permanent teacher was there. And I was actually glad because the toddlers were really killing my back, what with their constant crying and wanting me to carry them all day. I felt as though I was a mum with triplets or quadraplets. haha! But the joy of watching them enjoying my high pitch, corny songs can really make my day sometimes. And I made pretty good friendship with the teachers there. Plus, the pay was good too! hehehe

2) I did quite a lot of shopping the past few weeks with my loyal shopping partner of 3 years. haha. Need not mention who because you'll definitely not be surprised. ahaha. And I seriously need to get a new laptop asap before all my money goes poof!

3) I treated my family to some pizzas and the bill was pretty cheap for 8 persons! $75 after all the discount plus credit card discount, which if you do the math, only amounts to $9.375 per person. hah! So, please go to Pizza Hut if you ever decide to give your family a treat. hahah. Cheapo, I know but must promote the place where I met my shopping partner mah. hahaha. Still haven't get it? Nvm then.

4) I am now lounging at home, pretty much everyday and catching up and all those episodes of Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty etc, which I have missed. hurhur. I need to give myself a break before the new semester starts you know!

5) I've yet to go down to NP and get my books and I've received the new modules handout and assignment and I have a feeling it is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride again.

6) That's all for now I guess. Told ya there's nothing particularly interesting about my life. haha. And if you actually bothered to read this, you've wasted about 3 minutes of your time. Ok, off I go now. Goodnight!!

2008-11-30T14:15:00.009+08:00

Finally, I have the time and energy to update on the events which occurred over the past weeks.

First, meet up with my makcik quarters & Haz twin sister. Haz came up with the group name during our poly days! haha

Ice cream is always a must have dessert whenever we meet up. But this time round, the ice cream tastes so exquisite. My normal vanilla ice cream taste very very different and the price is also different. haha

On one of the days, I left work early because my centre had very few children so it was good fun time with Yuyu! Wheee

Good food is also a must whenever we go out. And so we decided to try out Amirah's Grill. But the food was just so-so for me. My chicken kebab and his lamb kebab with so herbs or Arabian rice if I'm not wrong. I think mine is nicer than his! heh

Then, our initial plan was to visit the Marina Barrage but it was close or what lah. So we headed somewhere else to relax because I am tired of driving. Hurry and pass your tp babe! haha

Oh, I also made him pose like some hot model! hahaha. I even put on some powder on his face! teeheehee. So how? Can qualify or not? hehe.

2008-11-12T21:40:00.004+08:00

On my brother's 22nd and Hana's 6th birthday, we had a bbq over at my place. It was also to bid farewell to my brother who was leaving for New Zealand the following day. Well, he found a job at a resort in Queenstown so he'll be there for at least a year. Yahoo!! hahaha.

Farewell bro. We'll miss you - not! hahahaha. Not that I don't like him. Well, as siblings, you know.. he always get on my nerves. heh. And it was also the first time I saw my dad cry! haha

Ok, that's all for now.

Ps: My colleague is envious of my pay. Wth! It is only a mere $10 per hr and now she wants to be very calculative over every single thing. Damn you nyonya! But too bad for you cos I'm much more qualified than you are. Wait till I show you the real me! haha

2008-11-06T00:02:00.003+08:00

The other week it was Sentosa with Yusri.

So fun because it has been sometime since we last went there. And this time, we even managed to catch the songs of the sea. Totally worth it! I absolutely love those fire balls. haha

And you know what? I think he's turning into a sensitive new age guy of late. Urgh! So so ~~annoying~~. heh. But I still love you babe!

2008-10-25T15:02:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, it was HSM3 with 6 teens/tweens. So yea, I was like their nanny for a day. How fun because I treated them some popcorns! Movie tickets paid by themselves though. haha

HSM3 is definitely a must watch movie! I think it is the last because they have graduated from high school now? So would it be College Musical next? hahaha

And know what? The girl behind me in the cinema kept oohing and ahhing everytime Zac Efron appears. Oh please, girls these days! haha. But I can't deny that he's cute. Just don't overdo it girls! And Vanessa Hudgens is hot as always! haha

Ok, so now the tweens want me to watch Winx the Movie with 'em! OMG! I have never even watch the series. haha

2008-10-05T00:40:00.002+08:00

My one big happy family.

And on the eve of raya, we slept like sardines in the house. Not that the house isn't big enough. We've just grown bigger! haha

My siblings.

Will upload the rest when I am not too sleepy. haha

Goodnight!

2008-09-28T23:57:00.002+08:00

Sometimes when I read books, it really gets to me. Doesn't it always happen to you?

Like for example, it would make me reflect on my life, whether I have been a good daughter, friend or even girlfriend.

I think I put too much thought into things like this. But isn't that the whole purpose of reading? Aiyah, I know someone's going to say I'm very weird. But I feel that even though the plot may be too dramatic, aren't we the actors of our lives? So the chances of it occurring in our lives is there too. If you don't get what I mean, nevermind. I don't quite know what I'm babbling about anyway.

And if I don't have time to blog again in the next couple of days, I wish you guys,
SELAMAT HARI RAYA!
MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN.

This raya's gonna be different for me and us, I'm sure. huhu

2008-09-24T20:54:00.002+08:00

Meet my wannabe drummer boyfriend. haha

Even though it is only arcade, I think I had a really good time with him after so long. Long story, no need to elaborate. haha

And then I turned ghostly because I totally suck at that drumming thing!

This weekend, I'm gonna be at the F1. Wheee.. Although I'm just an usher. haha. But still..

And now, I am on a quest. Will update more about it. Stay tuned! Oh, it's less than a week to raya now. Time flies uh? All kuih ready?

2008-09-22T20:54:00.002+08:00

The reasons we lie.

We lie to please others.
We lie to make things fine.
We lie to avoid tension of conflicts.
We lie to reduce interaction.
We lie to save face.
We lie to gain power.
We lie to reduce or expand relationships.
We lie to guide social interaction.
We lie to harm others.
We lie to to benefit self.
We lie to appear strong.
We lie to avoid the hurtful truth.
We lie to maintain a sense of privacy.

I think I'm guilty for most, if not, all of the above reasons.

2008-09-17T23:44:00.003+08:00

How do I tell you I'm sorry -
With a gesture, a look, a touch?
How is it I never realized
I hurt you so very much?

I do not ask forgiveness,
A comfort I'll never deserve.
I merely want to let you know,
But I cannot find the nerve.

To finally confront you, face-to-face,
To look you in the eye,
To face your wrath, your apathy -
Too terrified to try.

You called me selfish, I turned away,
I festered and I fled;
Cutting and wounding and lashing out,
Just to see if you bled.

Betraying and deceiving you,
I surely had no right
To snatch away such a precious gem;
A dark thief in the night.

Four years and forever passed
To bring us to this day,
When I present these simple words
I never thought to say.

The time has come, it's long past due,
To put aside my fear;
Would this confession torture you,
Or have you longed to hear?

To hear those two forbidden words,
To vanquish all the pain,
To understand my dearest wish:
To know you once again.

The years aged me remarkably,
Though they have not made me wise;
I do know I erred irrevocably -
For that I apologize.

On another note,

Sungei Buloh trip was okay.

Psst.. The man behind is actually Dr Fedo, our ~~cute~~ director. hehe

2008-09-14T17:10:00.002+08:00

Auni is growing very very fast now. Just yesterday she acted like one supervisor, putting her hands behind her back and following me around the house. So cute! haha

It's been awhile since I post a picture of us. So yeah, here goes. My cutefatchubbyboy. haha. Ok, you can go eew now.. :p

This week, the class field trip will be to Sungei Buloh. Ah, how fun! huhu. Hopefully it doesn't rain. The trip to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve was well, tiring. And I ended up with many many small bumps due to allergy with 'nature'. haha. If there is such a thing lah..

2 more weeks of school left and then 3 months holiday! Can't wait can't wait..

2008-09-01T21:11:00.002+08:00

It's been almost a month I know. Things have been very busy of late. And I cannot wait for the 3 months plus break this Raya! Woohooo... There's a lot that happened in August though. Like Auni's 1st birthday and of course, the giant's 20th birthday which just so happen to be the day after Auni's. My two favourite persons, back to back. Hah!

Anyway, today is Teacher's Day! I don't feel I'm much of a teacher just yet. haha

However, I really salute all the teachers out there because I now know how it feels like to be one. You've got to know every single thing! Just yesterday, I was cracking my brain real hard to produce a quality production analysis. So now, apart from being a good actress, I have to critic a play?

Not that I am complaining though, I actually enjoy doing all these because it makes me become an all rounded person. And I don't mean fat lah! haha

And guess what? I have to climb Bukit Timah Hill with the class tomorrow as part of our Environmental Science field trip. So now, I am an environmentalist! So you see, being a teacher is like a walking encyclopedia. Haha.

Ok, so actually my main point is, the government should raise the teachers' salary! This is so because we learn and we know basically everything. Ok, that's all. Selamat Berpuasa everyone! (:

2008-08-04T23:02:00.007+08:00

The 6 intensive weeks of school has just ended and I think I've accomplished more than the 3 diploma years put together. haha. No, really. The foreign lecturers are great and despite the whole group argument with a particular makcik, we did it! (:

Having to attend classes from 9am to 5pm; 4 days a week, I think all 63 of us have bonded very well. (Minus makcik and her sidekick of course!) I don't know how to describe it but it feels good to finally talk to the people whom we have seen for 3 years and actually start to work with them.

During the diploma days, we always tend to stick to our own cliques and therefore, our social network is not that big. And we kind of hate one another. haha. Yeah, with a class full of girls, that's what you get. But the degree programme is just different. No words can explain actually. And I am really grateful for coming into this course and meeting the wonderful people of Wheelock College, Class of 2010!

Ok, pictures time.

The whole lot of us!

Our group, presenting Busy Night. Psst.. The one in black is the very irritating cum annoying makcik! ahahah

I'm an elf! haha. I'm telling you, we can be great actress when we graduate because of Susan.

During our farewell party for Susan & Nancy. The Malay girls from Cohort 2.

Farewell Susan!

We missed sending Nancy off cos she was in a rush and had to check in while we were eating at Popeye's! Damn. Guess we'll see her in Boston then! I really like her though. One of the best lecturers I've ever had.

Alrite, enough said for now.

2008-07-20T23:23:00.008+08:00

My 20th was good! Well spent with friends, boyfriend and family.

Thursday, we were suppose to go for a site visit. But Haz and Surya celebrated my birthday at an ayam penyet shop? haha. And my birthday cake was banana fritters! Ok, they're merepek I know. But I love them still! Thanks for the diamond earrings Haz!! That's two years in a row that she gave me earrings as my birthday present. hahaha. She's sure getting old! hehehe!

Then, it was Friday. Not my birthday yet. But Yusri decided to celebrate it earlier since both of us weren't free on the day itself. Anyways, I had a good time with him although I was very pissed off with him a few days ago. Pms uh! hahaha

Ok, so we went to the Henderson Waves, to make up for all the lost exercising times. Ya rite! The way up was sooo tiring but there was a slight drizzle so it was not that hot. And upon reaching, I was happy! Jump for joy everyone!

Then came an Indian guy who offered to take a picture for us. haha

Next comes the present! And he got me many many things. With a green theme, most of the stuffs are green. Going green in envy? haha. And I love love the Guess bag. Muah Muah!

Thanks for everything dear! You're the best! teeheehee

And here's my birthday cupcakes! Courtesy of Auni! Lovely isn't it? And it tastes delicious as well! haha

And Auni is up for a swim anytime, anywhere! haha.

Ok, that's all. I'm too lazy to upload videos and the rest of the pictures. School's in again tomorrow! 2 more weeks baybeh! woohoooooo

Ps: Thank you all for the birthday wishes and the presents! Love you very much! haha. Now I'm old already. huhu. 20 leh!!!!!

2008-07-16T23:04:00.002+08:00

I am going on hiatus till I don't know when. Till then, stay tuned and enjoy life everyone!

Oh btw, I have a brown Prima Crocs with a flower and rainbow! I love my mother! hehe

2008-06-29T16:54:00.002+08:00

I've got one thing to say. The road towards a degree is so much tougher than diploma! Maybe 20 times? I hope I will be able to survive these 2 years.

Know what? We even have assignments due on practically every session. How tiring is that? Thank god that we have Wednesdays off. And I think I'm about to have no life. huhu. But we do have awesome lectures cum professors. Except for one seed. haha

So the only thing that is keeping me strong is the Boston trip. hahahahaha. & the BSc of course! The first batch has already gone and they're going to be back soon I think?

Ok, back to assignments now! Damn. Have a great week everyone!

2008-06-25T20:03:00.021+08:00

Langkawi is a beautiful island with lovely beaches and an array of good food. The 4days 3nights stay was awesome! Ok, pictures.

The majestic eagle or helang. That is how the island got its name. Langkawi. Geddit?

Auni, all excited to go!

La familia. My dad's missing though.

First stop, island hopping!

The wind was rather strong, so Auni thought "I should take a nap since I can't keep my eyes open." haha

Pulau Dayang Bunting or The Lake of the Pregnant Maiden. As the legend goes, whoever takes a dip in the lake would be blessed with many kids. I only dipped my legs. So does that count? ahaha

Still there.

We were at one of the beaches where there was a monkey who stole my food. And I screamed my ass off! ahahaha. The sand is oh so clean and the water, crystal clear! Auni could even crawl without hurting herself.

At the Laman Padi. Great place! (:

The black beach. Very one of a kind!

Hot spring! I got to dip my legs in a bucket and it felt good! I wonder why Sg does not have one.

The telaga tujuh or the Seven Wells. It was damn tiring to climb up the very steep stairs. But the view is magnificient! The waterfall was super duper refreshing!

And we caught crabs. Small ones only lah. haha

We stayed at a resort with the longest swimming pool in Malaysia.

Beautiful sunset.

Cable car ride. And the bridge literally took my breath away. haha

The eagles, me and my comical mum. haha!

And soon it was home sweet home!

This has been a very long entry. So till then, bbye!!

2008-06-19T23:20:00.001+08:00

I just got back from Langkawi. And I am so tired! There's orientation to attend at 930am tomorrow! So, I'll update soon with my 300+++ pictures. Wheeeee

2008-05-28T13:59:00.007+08:00

27 May 2008 was my graduation day. And it marks the end of the poly days. I feel old now. Huhu

In the convention centre, while waiting for our turn. So, from left to right are all the Nur(s). haha

When it all ended, we didn't even get to eat at the reception because the place is so jammed packed and we rather take pictures actually. hehe.

Dearest dad and mum.

And now, yet another chapter has ended. Somehow I still feel as though I've just completed the O's and worrying on how I'm going to get by poly life. Time flies uh. Thanks all for making my days as an NP student, a memorable one! (:

2008-05-16T00:14:00.002+08:00

Ooh look! I have a new layout. Kind of sick the navigations. haha

Ever since I fired myself, I have loads of free time in hand. Therefore I decided to visit the dentist. I have this tooth which is not aligned as the rest of my teeth and it's very very annoying you see. Sometimes, food gets stuck in between it and all.

So I decided to extract it! My gosh! The after effect was ahaodsadh!! When the dentist was extracting it, it was so painless due to the anaesthetic (sp?). So I thought to myself, ahh, easy peasy. But after a few hours, my lips turned dry and I didn't quite had the appetite to eat. My two front teeth is so painful that it hurts when I bite. So I had to eat easy to swallow food which also means, porridge. Yeah man, how sad! haha

I have a date with the dentist tomorrow. He wants to see how my teeth are doing. Hopefully, my teeth don't fall apart or I'm gonna need retainers. Err, I don't think I want to look like a geek. heh.

Right now, I think I can't wait to start school. But when it starts, I will think otherwise. That is always the case yeah? hahaha.

2008-05-04T14:37:00.011+08:00

2nd May 2008 marks the third year of our friendship/relationship or whatever you call it. Since I planned last year's anniversary, it was Yusri's turn to plan this year. Well, of course he did not keep it as a surprise because he never keep secrets from me! haha.

To start the day off, we had a good early breakfast buffet at Delifrance. The food was okay only. Nothing great, just pastries and stuff. But it was quite filling cos we did not have any lunch later on. Afterwhich, we headed to a place where he actually came from. Drum roll please... It's the zoo!! haha. Ok ok, kidding babe! He took the 50% off voucher from his uncle so we saved quite a sum. It's been sometime since I last went to the zoo you see. And on that very day, we wish to celebrate it with the monkeys, chimpanzees, giraffes, leapords etc etc. haha.

Ok, I'll show you the pictures.

While we were waiting for the bus. Surprisingly, the bus came rather fast even though we had just missed the previous one.

Some of the animals which we saw.

If I remember correctly, this was taken near the chimpanzees.

We walked and walked further and guess who did we bump into?
Our long lost friends! (see below) hahaha

And then, Yus saw a truck and off he went to have pretend play. hehehee

The weather was really warm. But I like it better that way because we still had lots in store. haha.

Moving on, we left the zoo at about 1+ and the next stop was Marina Square. There, we caught Harold&Kumar and we really had a good laugh. That movie's pretty good! Be sure to catch it. I find Harold quite cute though. hahaha. Very anti climax I know. hehe

After the movie, it was time to fly. Yeah babe, we went to the Singapore Flyer! Ok, that place is actually only so-so to me. Kind of wasted that we splurged 60 bucks on it! But oh well, it's like once in a lifetime kindda thing. And fyi, Yus is afraid of heights but he went through all odds just for me! That's why I love you... haha

Ok, pictures again.

We went up at about 5pm so it wasn't that hot. And the view? Ok, see for yourself.

My very nice bf is currently saving up to buy me the house on the bottom right of the above picture. ahahaha. Yeah, in a million years!

After that, it was time for the grand finale. That is, our dinner! Remember, our last meal was at what? 9am? So by about 6.30pm, we were damn hungry! And we rushed down to Straits Kitchen for our buffet dinner.

We were one of the first few to arrive actually. But after about an hour, we were so full that Yus thought he could not even get up. So the moral of the story is, better not starve or you won't be able to eat much. Just like when you fast yeah?

And finally, the day has ended and it was time to go home. I had the greatest time ever with Yusri and I am very happy that all his efforts of saving up was worth it. Thanks for everything hun! You're the best!

And here's to many many more years of laugh, tears, joy, sorrow, anger, ~~fights~~ and what else? I'm sure you know this but I love you babe no matter if you're fat or thin. hehe

2008-05-01T23:06:00.002+08:00

Finally, I've decided that enough is enough. Which means, I've resigned!! And I am so happy. Although I'm going to miss the kids, especially my Japanese boy. Haha. Yus, don't jealous ah!

What triggered me to leave earlier was the new teacher who was suppose to take over my class. She was acting as though she is the big boss, bossing me and the chinese teacher around. I felt like slapping her man! And she eats the children's food like a pig! Padehal the food sucks. Although I've never tasted lah cos got babi!

Then, she calls the mat which the children often sit on during circle time an itchy mat! WTH!! Ok, I sound like I can't get along with anyone in the centre. But I actually do get along with all. Except for the boss and this new -ugly, never wash face that's why a lot of pimple- teacher.

Ok lah, enough said. I want to sleep now cos tomorrow is the big day! I'm just so glad I'm out of that hell! hahahahaha

2008-04-23T22:51:00.002+08:00

The other day, I was getting the children ready for their shower. I was managing the twos and three years old btw. Anyhoo, this C boy started playing with his d*ck. Initially, I stopped him from doing so because it is just not appropriate yes?

But after some time, I was too caught up in helping the other children to get dressed that I completely forgot to see what he was doing. Then, I heard my colleague shouted, "Stop playing with yourself!"

I laughed out loud at that point of time because it sounded so wrong! But the teacher said, "Oh! Don't be deceived by him. He is not as innocent like you think he is. Do you know that he told his mum the teachers are playing with it when the mum asked him why is his *toot* red?"

Goodness gracious me!!!! I don't know why the parents nowadays are so dumb! Who would wanna play with a little *toot* like his? Yucks!! And that was the reason as to why he was absent for a couple of days. I am totally speechless really. That is also one of the reason why I can't wait to get out of there!

Oh, and I have something else to say. My boss has issues with me,! ahahahaha. She told one of my colleague that anyway. She doesn't even dare to talk to me. So, tell me. Who's the boss now? ahahahahahaha

2008-04-11T22:44:00.002+08:00

It's been a while. I'll update in point form though.

1) I am still working at that bloody centre. But I think I am going to quit at the end of this month. Oh, not to worry cos I still have other jobs. Heh. Macam laku gitu.. hahaha

2) I can't wait to start school cos I'm simply sick of work! But the letter is yet to arrive? No? I always receive my letters later than the rest.

3) I can't wait for 2nd May. I'll tell you why soon enough. teeheee

4) I miss all my friends. When wanna go out? I cannot never gossip ok! haha

5) I want to get a new laptop. The current one is still working. But alah, I just feel like it.

6) I'm planning to get a new hp. But I am still unsure of what or which model to get. I seriously need recommendations for this. Sony ericsson phone the better!

7) My boss sucks! hahahahaha. She's dirty and disgusting just like every single thing in the school, or should I say her house?

8) And something worth updating, Fish called me today! haha.

9) So when is my graduation day? It's on the 27th of May. The details, I am still unsure. Where to check? Cannot wait to wear the big gown and step intelligent! hahaha

10) That's all for now I think cos I feel as though I have no life. Yeah, that's basically it.

2008-03-17T23:34:00.009+08:00

Here's the update about the KL trip. It was rather impromptu because initially we thought of going Langkawi yes? But then, since my uncle has been hospitalised for nearly a month in KL, we decided to pay him a visit during the school holidays.

We took the night train on Saturday, departed pretty late due the Mr Mas Selamat. He's so sickening. Everything is delayed because of him. Psshh!! Anyway, I had a golek-golek time in the train, sleeping actually. It's been awhile since I last took the keretapi. Haha. We reached KL on Sunday morning and went straight to my aunt's place. Oh, btw I ate Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. So delicious! haha

We didn't do much on that Sunday, except to visit my uncle at the IJN. On the Monday, we went to Berjaya Times Square to get on the super duper thrilling rides. I took the roller coaster ride ok! I love all these thrilling rides. But you know what made me dizzy? The stupid teacup! Oh my god! My world just kept spinning after that teacup ride which kept going round and round. Other than that, all's good!

Us without Auni.

And again, with little Auni!

Getting Auni to keep still while waiting for the train ride to start was tough. Luckily, she is very into bags right now. She'll explore everyone's bag like some policewoman. Haha

On Tuesday, we went to KLCC as well as the Petrosains which is extremely cool. I tell you, it is 10 times better than Singapore's Science Centre which to me, does ot have very interactive activities and games to explore and play with. We took like almost 2 hrs+ to complete just half of it. We were too hungry by then, and I had to drag the kids out before they start playing the F1 car which is really great! I forgot to take pictures because I was too excited! hehe

Then, we proceeded to IJN again in the evening. My mum and aunt just could not stop chatting, gossiping, whatever you call it. So we decided to take pictures in the very deserted hospital. The visiting hours are over mind you!

I shall not post the other photos which we took because I look stupid I think. Haha

That night, we headed to the Uptown which is something similar to Petaling Street. Only, it only opens after 11.30pm. Haha. And we did a little shopping, and I was like their sugar mummy! If there is such a thing? Afterwhich, we had supper at McD. My cousin accidentally cut the photos from my memory card to her laptop. So now, I need her to send it to me. Boohoo

The next day, was home sweet home! Auni is going to grow up to be a doctor I'm telling you. Just look at her! hahaha. Ok, gdnite everyone! I'm tired and it's back to work tomorrow. boohoohoo

2008-03-17T00:23:00.004+08:00

I'm going to update now ok.

So ok, let me talk about my job first. As you would have been informed by now, I am working as a teacher at a childcare centre somewhere in the Woods. haha. The place is so near my house, I can actually crawl there. Haha, of course not la.

Anyway, I've worked there for like coming to 3 months? And the supervisor/boss, whatever you wish to call her sucks! She abuses the kids, as told by the other teachers. And from my own observation, she doesn't seem to have any passion in teaching. All she does is shout, scream and frighten all the children. Yeah, like some crazy bitch I suppose. haha. Mind you, she just gave birth to a premature baby!

Then, she always delay my pay! That it what I'm so frustrated about. I, for once refuse to sign any form of obligatory letter or shit thingy because she wants me to stay with the centre for a year and if I resign any time within that 1 year, I would have to pay her a month's pay. Go to hell pls!

Everytime, it is pay day, she will purposely forget to transfer it over to my account. Making very very lame excuses such as, "Oh! I think there is something wrong with your account because my bank says it has already been transferred." Don't give me that kind of shit pls. And many many stupid excuses like she forgot that I am now a full time teacher. Eh, you only have 4 staffs and you can forget? Stupid or what?

And safety wise, I have no idea how MCYS is able to provide licensing for that centre. Because once, a boy from my class decided to be spiderman or superman or some hero and climbed a cabinet to look down from the 2nd storey. There's no grill ok. Just some stupid acrylic thingy that is only so short.

See for yourself. hah!

And know what? I haven't been to work for a week! hahaha. Holiday baybeh! To where? Nowhere far. Just KL. That, I will update tomorrow. haha

And guess what? I'm not working again tomorrow cos I'm going for the medical check up at SATA. And no, I'm not pregnant. haha. It's for the degree thingy lah. Kind of remind me of the days when I went for the check up at SATA for the diploma. And now, degree already! haha. Time flies yea?

Ok, now I can't resist posting a pic of my favourite Japanese boy! He's so cute you know, and will hug my leg as though it is a tree trunk whenever I'm about to go home! hahahaha. All mine ok!

2008-03-03T14:18:00.001+08:00

I promise to update soon with many many very overdue pictures.

I also have a lot to complain and bitch about. ahahahaha

Till then, my lunch break is almost over but I'm still home eating nuggets and french fries. Alah, children sleeping anyway! huehuehue

2008-02-06T00:14:00.001+08:00

I am not one who has that many friends. I admit, it is very hard for me to make friends with people or perhaps strangers. And to add on to it, I don't look approachable with this kind of face. *makes ugly face here* ahaha

Despite that, I am very very much contented with the friends that I have now. Don't be shock alright, but you can actually just count with your fingers on the number of friends I have. Haha. When I mean friends, I mean people I usually hang out with, talk and gossips with, sharing of good times and bad times etc.

And the people I can actually think of as my best friend is only one. Oh, how pathetic is that? But yeah, it's true. So now I officially declare Yusri as my one and only best friend. As cliche as it may sound, my boyfriend is my best friend. Ok, I think it's cool to have a guy as a best friend. I've always wanted a guy best friend. hahaha

Throughout all these years, he has seen me at my worst and at my best(hopefully) and still stick by me. I don't think he has ever judge me and I think that's what makes him my best friend. And we can talk about everything under the sun, moon, sky, you name it. Oh, the qualities you look for in a best friend. haha. And the best thing is, he has a pretty good taste in woman's clothes. So I can take him shopping anytime I want. hehehe

But of course, I do need some time with my girlfriends as well. Even though I talk about almost everything with him, the girls will always have a special place in my heart. awwwwwww Oh you know, the way guys gossip are different! haha

And a day out with the 2 in 1 combo (byf + bf) is always fun even though we did not have any real plans! Feeling ala ala tourist is very interesting. haha. Try it some day!

My favourite, of the hundreds that we took. haha

2008-01-31T12:11:00.000+08:00

My 3 years of diploma with Ngee Ann came to an end last Tuesday. I didn't know it would actually be this fast. And come to think of it, I actually survived all those torturous assignments, attachments and uh, catfights. Haha

I'm happy and sad at the same time. Happy cos I am finally moving on to a new phase of life. Ie: working life. Sad because I won't get to see all my friends for a very longgg time. Ok, we do squabble a lot. And I really mean ALOT. But there are times too when we have fun bitching, slacking and munching in and out of class.

But of cos we all have to move on someday. And I am glad they have somehow or rather crossed my path. I will be having the same classmates (hopefully) for the degree course in June. And as for the rest, till we meet again! The flying woman aka Dahlia is going to be ............ an air stewardess!! We shall meet on air alright? haha

Till then, good luck to everyone who is almost going to finish your FYP whatsoever. I'm going to rot for awhile before I start to go back to work. Huhu

Our IEP poster presentation.

We're clad in green because we're supposedly the caterpillars. ahahaha

2008-01-14T01:40:00.000+08:00

I'm going to be a little romantic today. So please bear. Otherwise, you can just not continue reading. haha

I am thankful for all the times when you watch a romantic movie with me even though you sometimes fall asleep halfway through it. :p

I am thankful for all the times when you stayed up late just to accompany me doing my work.

I am thankful for all the times we bicker at each other cos it only made us stronger.

I am thankful for all the times when you tolerated my mood swings and gained nothing out of it.

I am thankful for all the times you try to make me talk when I pretend I don't want to.

I am thankful for all the times we spent together, arguing, pinching, squishing, wrestling, strangling each other. Yeah, you name it.

But most importantly, I am thankful for all the times you've been here for me despite my persistence and stubbornness.

And of course, for loving me. hehe

But in order for you to up the level of unconditional love, get me this.

And watch this with me next month!

Because it is recommended to watch with someone you love. hehehehe

2008-01-09T13:59:00.000+08:00

This time of the month, when the semester is about to end, I can actually go crazy over assignments. All of which are due soon, yes very soon. In other words, end of this month. And then it's graduation baybeh! Cannot wait la... (: (: (:

I know we can do it amidst all the complications we're having about our research advisor. Afterall, I survived the O level and all the hardships in the previous 5 semesters! haha

And I think I somewhat have a love/hate relationship with NP because at times I complain that it is so buruk, the lift doesn't function properly. Ok, at least for my block. Haha. But next week is white space week again which means no classes except for IEP! I love you lah NP for having all this white space weeks. Hehe

Ok, that's all. And counting down the days to the final assignment submission, 20 more days! Wheeee... More to nervous and stress actually. Haha

My January

2008-01-06T20:30:00.000+08:00

I know everyone feels under appreciated at times. But I guess I've felt it way too much that it feels somewhat like a norm. I don't need sympathy. Really, I don't.

This is actually for people who has always taken me for granted, thinking and believing that I will always do a certain something for them etc. And when I do, I certainly do not receive any form of recognition from any party. Worse still, I get blame for doing a mistake. I've had enough of that now.

Of course, I do not expect people to go a long way just to thank me for something small that I did. But when even major things that I do, and you don't even thank me or appreciate the work, I guess you have tremendously failed in life and of course, disappoint me.

I have a goal in my life right now. And I really hope no one is going to get in my way from now on. Not even you.

Because honestly, I think I've been too soft. Thank you very much for showing and proving that to me.

2008-01-01T16:13:00.000+08:00

My first 2008 post yay! :)

I shall recap my 2007, not in any particular order though.

1) I got my driver's license.
2) I got into Wheelock College.
3) I managed to keep my hair long and change the style.
4) I started working, although only recently. Heh
5) I got a surprise visit on my birthday.
6) I sent a complain email about one nonsense woman to my lecturer! ahahaha. Serves her (that nonsense woman) right!
7) I had a good time on the 2nd anniversary with Yussy.
8) I finally went out for raya with my poly mates. After like what? 3 years? haha
9) I keep doing online shopping! Whoopsie!!
10) I got a new cousin, Auni!

2007 has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for me. (Actually, I love roller coaster rides! hehe)

What's more with the final year assignments and stuffs. But I believe it has made me a much wiser and stronger woman! No more girl ok, 20 soon tau! Haha

And I am definitely looking forward to a brand new year ahead! May 2008 be as fun, exciting, interesting, fantastic and (insert all positive adjectives here) as 2007! Perhaps even better? hehe. Amin.

School's in again tomorrow! And I have a bloody presentation at 9am! Sheesh.. Ok oops, positive baybeh!! hahahahaha

ps: Auni has something to say too.

2007-12-26T21:56:00.000+08:00

2007 is coming to an end soon. And then comes 2008 whereby I'm no longer a teenager! Wow.. I should change it to twenteen. hehe Because honestly, being a teenager is quite fun you see. The things that I do. Hahaha

Well, I've started work recently at a very much nearby childcare centre. It is so near to my house that it only take less than 5 mins to walk there. I know, very cool rite? hehe. I've been longing to work there ever since I started the dip in ECH. So since I've already got my resume and cover letter done as part of our assignment, I conveniently drop the school an email just to try my luck! And I guess I was lucky!! hehe.

And no, no holidays for me this year cos all's fully booked. Boohoohoo.. But whatever it is, I'm anticipating two overseas holidays next year! wheeee

And to all, enjoy the last few days of your break. HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! :))

2007-12-16T16:55:00.000+08:00

I'm thinking right now, that I want to find a husband/bf who can take really really nice photos of me. Hahaha

Because you see, I can take nice photos. :p

But I've yet to find people who can actually take nice photos, with no blurs or darken areas, that kind of thing. And finding the right angle with good lighting etc.

Take my sister as an example, she takes horrible pictures of everything! No point teaching her cos she has no passion for it I guess? Like you know, just anyhow snap and voila! I'm done with it that kindda thing? It is definitely not the camera's fault cos I have a cybershot okay.

Ok, back to the the reason why I want a husband/bf who can take nice photos.

I believe that pictures are memories and if you don't already know, I love scrapbooking. So I definitely need beautiful shots of me and *ehem* my baby when I get married someday. Hehe. I can't always be the one taking the pictures rite?

So yeah, get my point here? Application is open for all. hahahaha

I'm kidding lah of cos. Where to put the Yuss rite? So he better learn photography or else .......

K, sidetrack a little.

My cute-sy Auni! (: (: (:

2007-12-14T01:05:00.000+08:00

Like finally I found a new template.

Ala ala livejournal gitu kan?

teeheehee

Off to bed now! Goodnight.

2007-12-11T20:31:00.000+08:00

Today is probably the best day of my life! I shall make it short though.

I GOT INTO WHEELOCK COLLEGE!!!

Well, if you don't already know, I applied for the early admission to the college's Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood last month. It is a 2 years course based in Ngee Ann Poly although it is a US degree. But I will be in Boston for a summer immersion programme. How exciting is that?

Rite, so my future is pretty much secured for now. After graduation in early February, I'm hoping to get a job which pays me more than 1.5k! hahaha. Then, I'll be back to school in again in June/July.

A perfect way to end the year indeed!! Alhamdulillah..

2007-12-02T21:40:00.000+08:00

Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are

It's second december 2007 dear. (:

much love;
me

PS: He got excited over this! ahahahaha

2007-12-02T13:00:00.000+08:00

After 5, coming to 6 semesters together as a class, I finally felt the bond between us on Friday. Yeah, we took that long to finally accept one another's differences. So you see, this is what happen when the class is made up of practically all girls. FYI, we do have a guy in our class. Haha. Imagine that!

So, last Friday was supposedly a "pretend play" whereby we pretend to have somewhat like a Childcare Open House. We had a presentation, games and of course, food! I was in the food group. Yes, the foodie! And I am very very proud to say that our fund raising to raise funds to buy the food went extremely well! Phew! That's a very long sentence. Haha

Anyway, we raised close to $150 by selling cookies and chocolate coated cornflakes. Kudos to the foodies! Yeahh

Can you see the donuts on the 3 tier? So nice rite? hehe

Oh, I forgot to mention that the theme was black. Black beauties I suppose? ahahaha. And guess what? It was the first time we took a class photo together! But that has gotta wait cos apparently, it's not in my camera.

So that's basically it. But I really had a good time the other day despite my crazy tummy which kept giving me cirit-birit. hah!

Wait! The camera wouldn't be satisfied without our group photo yea? hehehe

PS: I cannot wait for this week to be over. Tell you more soon! (:

2007-11-29T15:22:00.000+08:00

I have never actually felt more stressful in my entire life right now. Well, maybe during the O level period. But I can't seem to remember it cos it has been like what? 3 years?

With the final year project which we call IEP to be completed and the assignments from other modules as well, its like whoa! I don't think our advisor is of any help. She is just making things worse.

I am down with fever, flu and sore throat at the moment. :(

And I have no energy to make my way to the childcare to set up the environment. Basically, everything is just ________.

I don't have time for the family at all. I actually missed my sister's birthday celebration on both days. Thanks ah! My mum's currently away too.

And my group members, need I say more? But I am grateful to my secretary, Haz and just a member, Dahlia. Haha. Now go awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Right now, I need to sleep yet again! Goodbye!

2007-11-14T19:33:00.000+08:00

We made a trip down to Botanic Garden last week cos we got bored of all other places. Haha. Why oh why must Sg be some small? :(

Anyways, I had Napfa test last Monday and guess what?

Yeah... I got Bronze! After all the huffing and puffing, a bronze? Plus muscle aches everywhere!! Now, we are walking like makcik-makcik, can't even climb up stairs. It's quite embarrassing you know! Thank god, no engineering guys were on the same test day as us. If not, ............. haha!

School is really exhausting nowadays. I can't wait to get it over and done with. But the good news is next week is white space week which means NO SCHOOL! Understand Dahlia? But I'll make you come down and do research. haha!

& to cutefatwhitecat, you're missed babe! :)

2007-11-04T16:38:00.000+08:00

Ok doks! It's pictures time!! (: (:

Malam raya = bunga api!

Hee.. & guess what? I saw an awesome fireworks show by I-have-no-idea-who-and-we-assume-that-he-is-the-bunga api-owner! hahaha

It lasted for about 3 minutes or so and it happened just beside the kitchen window back at my kampung. No need to go to esplanade pun boleh. Hahaha. But I was busy eating lah. And my camera was upstairs so I didn't get to video it. Heh

The girls, with a few missing. Prolly eating! :p & with our asal boleh baju kurung. Later then change again. Yelah.. Hot what!

Next up, is the raya outing with these 2 girls. We're quite pathetic people cos we only went to 3 houses. But but, we had fun didn't we? (:

I used to call her my hero. ahahaha

And lastly, we had a girls day out and went swimming yo! Ok ok, more like floating for me. Cheers to the makcik quarters club! Our motto, "Aku pun boleh, saje je tak nak!" hahaha. Don't kill me for this! heh

2007-10-30T23:38:00.000+08:00

I haven't been updating religiously of late, but that's because I've been a little busy. There's a lot of things to be done now that the new semester has started.

And this sem, we're having our IEP which is basically the final year project. We've got most of the stuff ready but the lecturer is just nyeh nyeh nyeh. Very irritating you know! I can go on and on about it but I shall save it for someone else. Haha.

Besides that, my friends and I are busy applying for the Bachelor of Science in ECH. It's a really cool degree from Wheelock College and we're hoping to get in. And if we do, we'll be going to Boston baybeh! Wheeee...

But but, in order to apply we have to get 2 reference letters, write a resume and an essay too! So that should pretty much explain the lack of updates. Heh

Oh, how was the raya everyone? I had a really short one. And the collection has also reduced by 50%? haha. I don't know even. I shall post pictures in my next entry. Till then.. Stay tuned!! (:

2007-10-11T16:15:00.000+08:00

Hello all! How's everything going? If you're wondering, nobody had kidnapped me. I just didn't have many things to blog about during the Ramadhan month. Actually, I did do several NEW things. But I figured I should just keep it low. Haha. What crap!

Anyways, Raya is just around the corner. In fact, in less than 2 days time. So got your baju kurung, kebaya ready girls? But guess what? I've yet to collect mine from the nyonya in Yishun! ahahahaha. I just hope I get to raya this year cos I remembered my friends & I went raya in normal school clothes last year la! Like hauhdiuas~ haha. Cos we didn't and couldn't find the time.

The new semester starts on Monday. And I'm happy cos I cannot wait to graduate. Wheeee!!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA TO ALL MUSLIMS! (: (:

2007-09-22T17:05:00.000+08:00

The timetable for sem 3.2 is out. And I'm quite happy with it. (: Although I have like 3 hours break on Friday? Which means I have to end bloody late at 6. Sheeshh.. Other than that, all's good.

Actually, I don't really have much to blog about. Life's been pretty mundane for me for the past few days or so. And I feel like painting my room orange. Hah! Ok la, I shall leave you with a very adorable picture of Auni! heee

So cute rite? I call that her sailor hat. haha. She's already a month old now btw.
