stupid driving test.
i can only take my BASIC driving theory test only in JUNE! and i've taken both my theory lessons like within this week! the driving centre should have dates available to all of us! its so troublesome now.
after ke min and i have learnt our lesson, we decided to book everything in advance so that we can
chiong our finally theory right after our basic test. and my basic test is on 30 june. damn
sian. i think i can only complete my driving training only next year. :(
recently, Qifa primary school called me to relief for afternoon sessions. the kids are really adorable, especially the primary 1 kids. the class was decorated with colourful and kiddy stuffs; i think i will want to study in this classroom if i were those primary 1 children since the classroom is so fanciful.
when it's 6pm, i brought them to the hall to sing the national anthem. as qifa is out of the way for most students(cos it's hidden within the private housing there), most kids take bus. when the HOD announced the students to move, most ran to the front except for 3 of them who will follow me.
suddenly, one of the boys held my hand.
i was so shocked and surprised. i mean, will you find a student holding your hand willingly?
i asked him if his form teacher always hold his hand, he just smiled.
SO CUTE. haha.
after that another boy asked to high-fived him. i dont know for what.
then another boy held my left hand. haha. at least he asked me if he can hold my hand.
so can you imagine now? both of my hands are seriously occupied.
i brought them to the side gate and said good bye to me.
i suddenly feel so
happy. hahaha. is happy the correct word to describe my feelings?
today taught clementi primary and tomorrow qifa primary. i feel so guilty towards Mr Look cos he always call me for relief teaching and he's a damn nice person.
last saturday went out with Yu Min and Patricia. Pat and i went to Aljunied(or geylang actually) for a flea market organised by the polytechnics. but i didnt buy anything there. after that, we went to far east plaza to shop shop but i didnt get anything there(!) :(. we finally met yu min at marina and ate waraku for dinner. the ramen was damn nice! since we've nothing to do, we went to esplanade to take a stroll. a heavy metal band was performing at the outdoor stage. the singer was practically shouting and i dont even understand any words that he sang(SHOUTED). shortly after Pat left, we went to the rooftop and chatted a while.
all i can say was you suddenly make me feel very inferior.i love muji food. :)
i can become very crazy with their pastries. their cakes are specially tasty :)

i'm not working today. hahaha.
i'm such a lazy pig. but i prefer to work though. at least it keeps me occupied and my brain wont rot too fast.
yesterday didnt work too. is the school going to abandon me :(
last saturday, kemin, siyuan, teng teng and i met up with people from gen acts club(NUS) for a NUS campus tour. met alot of people along the way and chatted like mad. this senior jiadai is damn damn funny. she enjoys making fun of me.
after the campus tour, we went to orchard togeter since we were heading to the same direction. my gang and i went shopping around orchard and i didnt get any nice clothes :( the last stop was my secondary school 2c outing. total waste of my time though.
finally have photos that can showoff my recent haircut. is it nice? lol. i rebonded my hair and snipped away about 3-4 inches of my hair.

jie mei and girls

indecisive guys

2C peeps
we took these photos outside the orchard MRT control station. damn funny, everyone were looking at us as though we are some tourists. the guys were so reluctant to take these photos.
this 2C outing was pretty a failure; organiser kelvin loh left us shortly after dinner. and we were left moving aimlessly. i was pretty irritated by the fact that the guys were so indecisive and moving aimlessly. and they just ignored the girls. fine la. eventually, most of us left and only a few guys went for pubbing session at holland village. guys are really hopeless in making decisions.
meanwhile, i've signed up for driving lessons. maybe learn guitar and belly-dancing o_0 at the same time. japanese lessons may be hold on for a while. too many things to learn during the holidays.

dear blog,
i didnt work today. and i've only worked yesterday and will be teaching tomorrow.
i cant keep staying at home. i will GROW FATTER and become a SLEEPYHEAD.at least when i teach, i will move along and stand almost the entire day. otherwise, i will be snoozing at home and eat junk food while watching the TV.

i fell in love with this song once i heard it on MTV. such a sad and emo song
Last Request- Paolo NutiniSlow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus:]
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me
Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
[chorus]
Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?
[chorus x2]
Yeah, lay down beside me.
One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

today was really hectic.
the school practically just want to starve me.
i had NO break until 12.30. i want to complain about cheap labour here k. i was so hungry but i couldnt eat at all. thank god my stomach is strong enough to withstand all the growling sounds created by the polypeptide juice(right?).
ate lunch with Clarinda, a new relief teacher in school. she's the operation manager's daughter. damn scholarly can, she studied 4 H2 subjects. Rathi is not here today :(.
some students are adorable and some are HYSTERICAL. i met a kid who can laugh and shout suddenly while i am teaching. she just leave me speechless.
karissa finally uploaded the 'last' gathering photos, took from her blog:

watched movie at Lido; Vantage Point

A photo after we 'survived' the rainstorm

'achievement' of the day: Esprit tops!

yesterday was a tiresome journey.
pei zhen and i headed to 2 universities, namely NUS and NTU to submit all our documents. there were nice people on the way; they helped us to find our way before we even asked. there are still nice people out there. haha.
we settled our lunch at munchie monkey cafe at NUS. i just love their brownies! but their main course arent very appetizing.
going to the office of admission of NTU wasnt easy. NTU is simply too sloppy and 'mountainous'. it's like literally climbing up some mountain or hill. the gradient is too steep! it seems like we are moving upwards all the time. And there are many many staircases! it's literally staircases everywhere; i seriously think you need good stamina and strong leg muscles to travel through NTU.



finally, our last stop was PJC. we came back to visit our juniors. we waited for Karissa and Ong Keh Kiong(KK) at the teck whye primary school benches. but AGAIN, KK was late. or maybe we were simply too impatient to wait for him.
we went to the office to collect my yearbook and saw Mrs Yeo and Mr Eddie Koh. on the way, i met Alvin, the ultra smart idiot from my class. haha. i'm glad to see my teachers in school. finally, we went to LT3 and saw my juniors. sadly, the current choir that we are facing arent as enthusiastic as our batch; the morale is very low. Ms Ong invited us to sing with the juniors on the apr 12 and may 31. but i've to think about it first. when we were about to go home, i met Mr Osman. Mr Oz was asking me why did i write 'Mr Cow' on Mr Kow's bookmark(I made a bookmark at the last minute and bought them each a lollipop. i made for all the teachers who have taught me and helped me along the way). lol. i guessed the teachers must be exchanging their bookmarks and read what i've written for them.
when the rest headed back home(so sad), pei zhen, karissa and me settled down at our usual spot for dinner, LJS! i ordered grilled chicken since i have serious cough and phlegm. we were all fascianted with pei zhen's hula hoop. i want one too! Yeay, Cotton On is opened at lot1! wooooo!



i'm going back to school on friday again :)
