a long-awaited outing with my pals

Went out with my poly gang yesterday to Plaza Singapura... Agnes, Ashidah and Qi Yu.

Watched a disturbing movie called 'awake' and I so wanted to leave the cinema if not for Ashidah who stopped me from leaving... LOL

All the while I was covering my eyes and looking at Ashidah and QiYu's reactions... oh my all those surgical images... lots of 'tofu' if u know what i mean... haha

Was really glad that we could meet up since the 4 of us live rather far from each other... 2 in payar lebar, 1 in clementi and me Jurong...

Will be meeting up again on may 12!!!! looking forward to it!

Oh ya when we visit Gillian at her workplace (jlo donuts and coffee) me and ash saw a really cute white baby girl!!!! she was sleeping in her cot... so cute... really looks like a doll...

something shocking happened in my life recently... now i really have an idea of what it is like in those kind of one-sided relationship... no matter what... i must be really really sensitive...

saw a really cute picture of a boy on the internet=D

haha so cute...

i've been dreaming of the children everyday... maybe i should visit them soon! my hanson, amber, clara, jingting, shaun, sabrina, chyi en, clarissa, michael, cheyenne, petrina, lucy, jamie, yann ting, yiting!!!!!!!!!

Random thoughts of the day

I wish I could return to the days when I was still a kid... a very young child... who was happy all the time with the simple things in life...

I wish I don't have to experience anymore heartaches.... anticipations that reap no results... disappointments & regrets...

I wish I could have the same group of friends (from primary school till poly) for life.

I wish I knew what I would really want to be... so I could sort of map out my future...

I wish I could be happy 90% of the time :D

I still wish I could live in a cute cottage

And have many cute children.... to lead a simple and happy life..

I want to visit at least these 3 countries before i die...

1)Japan
2)Korea
3)France

I just wanna live a simple and happy life.... would that be too much????

time for fun

What Your Front Door Says

You are fun, outgoing, and incredibly cheerful.

Life is an choose-your-own adventure for you.

And there's no way you're choosing the beaten path.

You have a warm personality. At times, you feel in love with the whole world.

The Front Door Test

You Are Somewhat Mature

You definitely act like an adult sometimes, but a big part of you is still a kid at heart.

While your immature side is definitely fun, you're going to have to grow up sooner or later.

Are You Immature?

Your Love is Based on Commitment

You believe that love is something that develops and grows.

You don't believe in love at first site, and you never mistake lust for love.

For you, love is about mutual devotion, respect, and understanding.

You don't feel comfortable in a relationship, unless you're both in it for the long run.

Why your love can last: You don't take commitment lightly - or leave relationships easily

Why your love can fail: You're so committed, you often can't see the most obvious problems in your relationship

What Is Your Love Based On?

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy

When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch

Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know.

From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up.

And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones.

You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds.

You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.

Are You Like Your Mom?

You Are "Dizzy and Giddy"

What Japanese Smiley Are You?

You Should Learn French

C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs.

You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

What Language Should You Learn?

some thoughts

Went out with Jiamin aka 5th princess today.... to orchard!!!

took about an hour and 15 min to reach from Jurong East because of mrt service breakdown -.-"

Ate at Yoshinoya before heading to our favourite bookstore "Kinokuniya"!!!! Where I bought the second edition of the book 'darling is a foreigner'. (ダーリンは外国人)Persuaded and psycho myself not to buy but in the end still give in le... haha

Some details about the book: (the rough content of the book can be found in my earlier post=D)

The characters:

In the next book, they will write about their new born baby!!!!!!! yipee!!! they're married in the end... wish them all the best and I am looking FORWARD to the third book!!! :D

Jiamin and I chatted a lot... about our personal lives etc etc...

Jiamin gave me a couple of advices to help me forget something... sigh... the agony of growing up... the pain of dealing with matters of the heart....

But Linda recovers fast!!!! Strive to be happy all the time! (okok most of the time:D)

now to enjoy the second book hee hee

will rot at home this whole week (ok except outing on thurs=D) and not spend a single cent!!! cos I am broke!!!! :'(

Will write a letter soon to an important person.... i believe honesty is very important and so I will write about what I have been feeling and my decision....

I am sure I can make it through! :)

Deep down you know it's best for yourself,
but you hate the thought of him being with someone else.

Bid farewell to everyone at the centre last wednesday....

Was surprised to receive a couple of presents and words of thanks and appreciation from parents... the atmosphere was surprisingly unexpectedly warm and it makes me teary... will miss all of them esp. the toddlers... makes me kinda regret my decision....

oh my.... I want to go back... I don't want the children to forget me...

My dad said something a few days ago... which I think was really true...

Loving someone is painful... it is only being loved that is blissful...

I have tasted the sweetness of it... and now i am struggling to come out from the pain that comes with it...

Now that I have quit... I kinda feel empty.... really empty...

Last 3 days

The last 3 days with the children... should I extend my stay??

I know I am contradicting with what I have said in the earlier posts... but then the attachment I had built with the children is something I can't shake off anytime soon..

sigh... and to look for a new job is really tiring and stressful too....

got baby ryan's photo taken secretly a couple of days ago... wah!!! so happy... I got a teacher to help me take the picture... even though the infant teacher is not happy about it I still took the picture anyway=D

Been staring at his pictures all day since i got the pic=D haha

Heard that he is going to be promoted into the toddler's class in June... but becos he has to go back to his hometown he'll only be back in September... so by then I will visit the toddlers and then take lots and lots of pictures of him and I could even cuddle him=D

dreams come true=D

Should I go to Uni (if i ever was accepted) or should I continue to work as an early childhood educator????

Decisions Decisions Decisions..... ah!!!!!

Oh ya yesterday was Hanson's birthday!!!! His mother had a Macdonald party in the toddlers' class and the children enjoyed themselves!!! even though some of them were shocked and cried as there were strangers in the class... sigh... poor clara was clinging on to me the entire time...

The party consisted of a happy meal for each child (the teacher got one too wahaha) and a goodie bag( yes i got one too... hello kitty perfume bottle!!!) and a simple catching fish game. Of cos there was the birthday cake with Ronald Macdonald's picture on the cake and it was choco-flavoured...

it was a happy event and I guess I would organise one for my child when he turned 3 ba! 2 years still too young le... in fact Hanson was crying most of the time...

ok! will continue to work hard for the remaining 3 days and hope i would have the courage to ask Ryan's father if I could take more pictures of baby ryan ( which i think i will never ask)...

mummy's birthday

Today is my dear mummy's birthday but she still have to cook for our party today! Woke up late so I am not the first one to wish her but today I am very touched and happy as my mother has turned a year older le somehow I feel it is something to be treasured...

I hope I can lived to see my mum celebrate her 100th birthday.... haha

I love you mummy

My brother presented her with a $100 cash, my sister a birthday cake, my father ???? and for me I gave her a bottle of soju. haha she seemed to like it a lot but said it wasn't strong enough.

Recently in my childcare centre the chinese teacher kept playing cute dance music and the children love them very much!! I am addicted to.... a song teaching children about the benefits of a good bath... haha sang by Fan Xiao Xuan... so nice!!! I have the song in my phone now wahaha

mmm... many cute things happened in my childcare centre recently... haha just to quote some incidents..

Last monday when the children were having hi-tea, one of the toddler left early as her grandma was here... one of the children YT, who was being carried in the arms of a teacher while she was drinking her milk, stood up from her sleeping position to wave goodbye...

Then, the teacher said:' bu guan ni de shi' (nothing to do with you, you drink your milk), and YT who returned to her sleeping position kept waving her left arm bidding goodbye to the leaving child. hahaha

no matter what waving goodbyes is a big deal for the children...

most toddlers sleep very well during their nap time... and there are some who slept only for an hour... some of them will continue sleeping even when the sky falls...

before naptime is the time where i could do some really intensive hands exercises... as I have to pat an average of 200 times per child before they sleep.. not all of them.. about 5 to 6 of them... the rest will doze off once their heads hit the mattresses...

tomorrow will be another working day le... jia you for the last 6 days!

Sullivan... where are you??? Boo wants to talk to you...

Sunday, April 6, 2008

Ah!

Today when I woke up I can't seems to move my body cos my waist was hurting like hell... must be from the fall yesterday... becos of the slippery floor... i slipped and landed on my right knee and must have twisted my waist from there..

sigh... luckily it happened at home so only my siblings were laughing... so embarrassing... my mum said if it happened to her she confirmed admitted to hospital de...

Then this morning the bruises appeared le... I put a bandage over it so tomorrow my children sure ask about it de...

children: "teacher why your leg like that?"

me: "oh because teacher run then fall down... so you cannot run ok? or you will be like teacher."

children:"......... ...."*look at me with big wide eyes*

10 more days till my last day with the children!!!! *why do i feel empty now?*

Oh ya about the book... I am almost done with it le! Haha really very funny the angmoh really think differently from the asians as they are more vocal and straightforward and very emotional... really seems like they are from a different planet from us...

Maybe i could be a writer too!!! Cos I can convert my dreams into words and jot them down into a book!!! mmm....

Finished the japanese drama itazura na kiss for the 9th or 10th times.... my number one favourite drama of all times...

The story goes like this:

Late for a meeting, Kotoko was running along the corridor in school and bumped into Naoki, their lips meeting.

Naoki showed his disgust, but Kotoko started to idolise him, who was good at everything from studies to sports.

When Kotoko's house burned down, her father's good friend Machiko invited them to move in with her family.

It was then that Kotoko realised Naoki was the elder son of Machiko, who took up the role of a fairy-godmother to bring the two together...despite the fact that Naoki was disgusted.

Not discouraged, the clumsy and not-so-bright Kotoko started to do everything that would change her impression on him.

Gradually, the icy-cold Naoki who disliked girls started to feel for Kotoko...

i guess that's all:D Looking forward to the F1 Race in Bahrain!!! Go Ferrari!!!

Summing up the month

Getting used to life in the little skool house... the children are loving me and I am loving them too... tried to talk more to the parents and it works... still waiting for my pay though:/

Am so glad to talk to O my best friend, my loving brother, my faithful listener... at least when i am feeling low and angry, friends are still the most reliable of all=D

Thank you Charis, Chou Meng, May, Jiamin, FuXian for listening to me complain and reassuring me all the time... without you guys I wouldn't be able to recover so fast...

Thanks to all my friends for your loving concerns...

Will be quitting officially on April 16th... shall treasure and work to the fullest for the next 2 weeks...:D

Went out with 5th princess Jiamin today!!! Shopped at Bugis Junction and ate at MOS before heading to Orchard where we switched to splurging mood!

Jiamin bought a new pair of super cool slippers & I bought my NEU mineral set at Chez Moi Beauty and it was rather affordable and in fact cheap as compared to the young blood set -.-" About half the price difference.... kui le.. The salesperson was super nice too!

We move on to KINOKUNIYA Bookstore, my favourite... and each of us bought a novel! haha we will switch books after we're done reading them..

The novel that I bought is about a caucasian man(Anthony) who came to Japan and lived with a local woman(Saiyori)... it tells of how they lived together while coming to terms with each other's differences in culture, accent etc....

Then they got married and Saiyori have to persuade her family to accept Anthony and all the funny things that happened between them...

I will continue reading it tonight=D

Was super disappointed with Arsenal after it drew with Liverpool!!!!!! Angry and sad.... sigh sigh sigh

Please bounce back for my sake???

March is a period I would rather forget... but nonetheless it's a maturing period for me... a period full of life lessons and obstacles I had to deal with... something that would only benefit me in the future...

But with so many loving people by my side... I will always bounce back! :D
