2009-01-02T22:11:00.000-08:00

Finally got back to my hectic working life... which every bit in me is reluctant to...

I realised that I've beginning to hate work... like I was being thrown into it without a choice.

I don't want to see my class, not even the children, the parents, my boss, the way to work...

I know I'm beginning to sound like a rotten spoilt kid but I'm also puzzled as to why I'm so hating work now...

I thought I'll manage to warm up to all this after yesterday's orientation but I was just so overwhelmed by it all...

But I am thankful for all the help I've gotten from some people, guess the only thing now is to buck myself up... Be confident!!! Bu yao pa!!!! I can do it!

Anime Fair & Bang Bang Tang

2008-11-23T06:04:00.000-08:00

Went to the Suntec Anime Fair last Saturday with Zhi Hao & his friend who is a super anime addict. Was a little disappointed though as I expected more... but still I was rewarded at the very end wahaha Took plenty of pics but too lazy to upload them all... Me and My fav anime Bleach~ Gundam!!!!! And finally the biggest surprise of all... Kunio!!! (lead singer of Superband Yi Shi Jie) A very tall and nice guy.. humble and of cos quite good looking haha
Bang Bang Tang Autograph session on 23rd Nov Sunday

Went for work at 7.45 because of the minister visit to Boon lay... turn out to be quite interesting and fun~

Went to Jiamin's block to borrow cam as mine is spoilt. Thanks Jiamin!

Went home at about 1pm to get changed and went for the Bang Bang Tang Autograph session with my sister at about 1.20pm.

Reach the IMM Garden Plaza at about 2pm and I was shocked to see so many people were already queuing up already!!!!! Another biggest shock was it was out in the alfresco... no aircon :/

Anyway the autograph session only start at 6pm so I got me and my sis the necessary stuffs for the 4 hours wait.

Was very disappointed cos I couldn't get a single good picture as I'm such a lousy photographer... and the fact that they were constantly moving about. Also, the organiser have them go straight for the autograph session, so no performance from them:/

A sea of fans~

Some blurred pictures:
Xiao Jie and Wei Lian's head

Can't see their faces properly

Ao quan seemingly posing for my cam shot.

Vain attempt at capturing Wei Lian, whom my sister liked a lot

What I find rewarding after more than 6 hours wait was getting a closeup look at them during the autograph session. I managed to shake hands with all 6 of them. Xiao Jie & Ao Quan left me the deepest impression as they seemed to be very sincere.

I was looking forward to meeting Wei Lian, and I called his name when it was his turn to sign my album.

He wasn't very friendly like Ao Quan (the nicest), and he hold up his left hand to me while he's busy signing without looking up. After he's done, he looked up and gave me a quick smile. Maybe he was used to all these form of tatics.

I realised after the autograph session how much a handshake can really mean. It can give people a deep and nice impression of you by your handshake. Ao Quan's handshake was firm and he maintained eye contact with a smile. It would make u feel that all the wait was worth it.

Still, I am very happy to be able to see them up closed and have brief contact with each of them:)
(I grabbed each of their hands briefly with both hands)

And in terms of who looked better off camera, mmm... I think it's Ao Quan and Xiao Yu. Wan Zi looked rather different. Wei Lian looked almost the same as his pictures featured on the magazines.

Anyway this is my first time attending such an event and I was really happy even though I'm having a terrible backache now:)

they signed really fast until some of the members were so blur that they forgot to pass on to the next member and I helped them to (from Ao Quan to Wei Lian). I hope I can freeze time!!!

I wonder how is it like being a celebrity?:)

I'm back:)

2008-11-22T05:57:00.000-08:00

Teacher's Day Celebration

2008-09-06T02:35:00.000-07:00

Celebrated Teacher's Day for the first time as a teacher... wahahaha =D

Was so surprised when the children gave me presents when I least expected from them... even though they makes me mad, drain out my energy... still... it touches my heart to the core when I received presents from them...

A couple of them were even too shy to pass it to me and keep alternate between stealing glances at me and looking down at the present he was supposed to give me >< My presents!!! I love receiving flowers and chocolates!

The flowers!!!!

The cutest part is... even before i opened the presents the children already told me what was inside... LOL

Teacher's Day Dinner

Held at the Bukit Batok Civil Club (i think)

All the teachers were dressed to the nine...

I showed up in a white layered dress..

It turned out to be very fun (not the least i was expecting it to be)

And then there was lucky draw... and finally...

I won a prize!!!!!!!!!! (hope my luck changes for the better now)

It's a food steamer... LOL!

There was also a karaoke session but mostly hokkien songs were sang... so it was a really entertaining night... looking forward to the next Teacher's Day!!!!

P.S Our precious LITTLE princess LEE JIA MIN sent me a sweet HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY MSG HOR!!!!!!!

Japanese Summer Festival

2008-08-24T02:20:00.000-07:00

Went to the Japanese Summer Festival with Charis, Pei Shian and her friends at Changi Japanese Primary school yesterday

Held once a year and rains every year on this day, it drew a such crowd... about 2000 ppl i guess!
The tattoo stall!

Mine was the butterfly... it was suppose to last for 2 weeks but mine was gone within 2 hours!

There were people dressed in yukata and kimonos!!! and they looked so beautiful! How i wish i could afford to buy a set of the sakura kimono ><

Will be going there again next year!!! Wearing a kimono or a yukata!!!! =D

Happy Saturday

2008-08-23T02:13:00.000-07:00

Went to East Coast Park last Saturday with the gang..

Charis, ChouMeng, Jia Min, Ming May, Zhu Bin, Zhi Hao, Ling Jie, Hao Chun and me of cos=D

Thank you everyone for making this day a special day for me!

I love all the presents... but I sort of dislike the idea of you guys spending a lot on the gifts.

Because being able to have such a gathering is already the best present all you great friends can give me:)

Another great outing... and I look forward very much to the next!

We're going to the zoo zoo zoo how about you you you??????????

The curse of the black Tuesday

2008-08-05T06:13:00.000-07:00

Bitten by a 'dog'.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The brighter side of life

2008-07-29T05:57:00.000-07:00

Sometimes, What I hear from the children... really cracked me up...

And from there I realise just how close I am to a world of innocence and happiness.

And how much I can learnt from the little ones

Tuesday blues

2008-07-29T05:51:00.000-07:00

A day filled with memories that brought heartache

Children misbehaving till I almost went fainted on the spot

Suffering the fate all new employees get

Pour out everything to my mummy, bro and bestie

Who taught me how to deal with it all

My ever disgusted Tuesday

The perfect recipe for trouble

I still have to work

2008-07-09T05:15:00.000-07:00

No matter how much stress I had to endure... still... I have to work

Because now that I am working... I really feel important as my family really is depending on my salary now..

I would rather work and get bullied than seeing my mum going thru this

Also... thanks to all my dear friends who have encouraged me with words that are so touching it really reaches the bottom of my heart... Knowing that my friends believed in my is the best motivation for me. Esp. Charis who I really pour my troubles out to and a very important emotional support for me when I am really upset at work.

I guess I am the sort of person who are so sensitive to the slightest thing and I ought to change that... I want to be stronger!

Btw, my ears are a little deaf now cos the noise level in my class is *&^%$#(^$@%$^%6&7@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shares the decibel of a plane hovering over our flats...

But the children are very lovable... and some of them I fell in love with them at first sight:D

Some jokes from the class:

#01I was teaching the class about animals and came to the topic on tigers.

Child 1: Tiger is girl right? cos 'Tie-girl'

Child 2: Ya my papa say also. (sure not?????)

#02 During freeplay time

Child 3: Teacher teacher, the tiger(toy) eat human 'ba' (hokkien)

It sounds funnier when he said it at that moment in mandarin.

Harsh reality of working life

2008-07-08T05:55:00.000-07:00

Today is my first day on my new job

I hate to say this... but I don't really like my new permanent job in the kindergarten..

Though I must admit that I am pretty independent today and tried to handle the amount of work given to me, I felt a little left out as I was practically left on my own to handle a class I have never taught... never seen before...

So for the 2 classes i took I do not know them... I do not know their timetable... I do not have any guidance...

In simpler terms I do not know what I should do

But luckily for me I clicked well with the 40+++ children from 2 sessions and some are very very cute=D

I guess this is part of the working life... i must try to go thru whatever dirt that is sent shoveling down on me..

Because I believe I won't stay in a job forever... :D

I am so relieved that I could let out everything here

I want to be that tiny twinkle in the sky that shine on it's own

Childcare incident

2008-06-25T07:18:00.000-07:00

I was with the playgroup class(Rimus's class) today and there was a a particular group that I happened to care for. (which was Rimus's group too)

The group was playing with LEGOS and my dear Rimus happened to make a gun out of it.

Then there was this boy who was misbehaving real bad and I was kinda angry with him that I shouted at him to stop.

Then Rimus handed me his LEGO gun and told me: "Shoot him dead" (shi si ta)

My reaction was: ....... .......

How I wish I could make this into a comic strip

2008-06-23T07:09:00.001-07:00

Been finding myself procrastinating a lot... such as the lack of blogging and simple chores in life.

Been working part time at the same childcare (with ryan and rimus) these days and will be ending work this wednesday... so again I will miss the children and everything will be in the memory bank...

So tired at work... because I have to wipe 27 mattresses when I start work which is right after the children have all woke up.

Rimus has certainly grew up a lot!!!!! He can even talk now:D But I heard from the teacher that he is very naughty now... even though he doesn't recognize me (same goes for his brother Ryan:'() but we established a bond rather quickly after spending a few minutes with him...

My favourite child is still Rimus=D So I was sort of practicing favourtism... hee hee

My lovely Ryan is ever so charming... but I am still getting used to the major transformation of my dear Rimus... who is really turning into a sweet talker now... and he still has that 'killer smile'... the smile that touches me to the core... haha

Last Saturday I went to support Evon who was competing for the 'Miss Singapore Sweetheart' contest... It was my first time witnessing such an event and I really kudo to the contestants as they were all so confident and daring on stage...

Then me, charis and qi yu went to Tampines Mall to shop and I got a really nice plaited dress for 70% off! Was really happy with the purchase=D

Today is the start of the wimbledon season so I will be hooked on tv these 2 weeks!

Also, recently I find myself addicted to the cartoon anime "Cardcaptor Sakura"=D Now I want to buy the clow cards!!! Any idea where to buy?

I got a couple of cute pictures from a friend and would like to share it here..
He did this pose for me:D Isn't he lovely?

Btw... I hope you like my blog song too=D It suits the mood that I am going through these days..

First movie outing with my bro and sis

2008-06-12T21:58:00.000-07:00

Exactly a week ago, my brother told us that he wanted to watch 'Kung Fu Panda' and I suggested just the 3 of us to go cos I don't remember a time we actually watched a movie together... so was really happy about it even though it was at the last minute

We make our way to J Entertainment Shaw by Bus 335 then I chose the seats for them...

My sister very generous that day... she treated us to popcorns and rootbeer... which we finished up 10 minutes into the show

At first I thought the movie was quite boring... just another animation... and my neighbour next to me was very noisy... chit chatting out loud and msging on her phone...
My favourite character 'Shifu'!
Then through to the middle part of the show... it was getting really funny and interesting and the cinema was roaring with laughters... My brother laughed really loudly but it was overcast by the many viewers in the cinema (quite a rare sight for JE Shaw)

After the movie... we accompanied my brother to the 2nd hand stores where he splurged his money on junk CDs again... later on my sister and I headed to the library and then went on to meet Charis where we had dinner and then I accompany her to cityhall to get her laptop repaired...

It was our first time there and there were so many beauty salons!!! I told charis that the service must be very good cos there were so many competitors..

Talked quite a bit on the train as we always did...

Found that these days I don't really want to go out.. sigh

Wanna spend more time with my mother.... which is a priceless experience... more than anything else..

11/6/08

2008-06-12T21:13:00.001-07:00

The day where everything came crashing in...

When I felt hopeless and disappointed at what have happened...

Where I finally woke up from a long, wonderful dream...

When I have to delete what isn't there for me anymore...

And it is over now

My Graduation

2008-05-31T22:00:00.000-07:00

27th of May was my graduation ceremony and indeed I was very relieved to be release from the school life... not that I hate it but it has been a period where I found myself working all the time and being stressed out for a whole 3 months....

Really happy to be able to graduate with my buddies.... Ashidah, Agnes, Gillian and Qi Yu... It was an unforgettable day for us and my parents who came to my grad ceremony and cheered me on...

My dad took my pictures outside the convention and he even called my siblings who were at home (who couldn't attend my grad ceremony as there were not enough invitation cards) to meet us at our void deck as he wanted to take pictures of us all at the Japanese and Chinese gardens....

haha i know it's funny.... :p
nice scenery!

Artistic looking tree...

Was a super memorable day if not spoilt by my half hour non-stop hiccups that gave me a terrible headache and chest pain.... was treated to really delicious food at West Coast! Happy!!!!

Congrats to all who have graduated!!!! We're free:D

2008-05-23T03:21:00.000-07:00

The weather is sooooooooooo hot these days that it's affecting my mood, health, tempo, and lots lots lots lots lots more!!!!

I want to go to a place where there is snow snow and that my fridge be filled with ice cream, popsicles, ice-kachang, frozen jellies...

I want my house to be fully air-conditioned so I don't have to ever step out if it...

F.R.E.N.D.S

2008-05-19T08:26:00.000-07:00

As the brim of adulthood is just around the corner and that soon I'll be about to join the working life... I was beginning to wonder if the friends i have around me are here to stay... as I know that by missing the university life I would not be able to make new friends and enter the same phase in life as my old pals...

I hope I can continue to go on class outing with the fellow princesses (about 8 of us now:) and the loners party...

I hope I will still keep in touch with my ex colleagues from Burger King and fellow Jap class mates.

From now on I just wanna be happy with what I have now... and fearing of losing them all...

Although sometimes misunderstanding happens and I knew sometimes it is better just to leave things as they are....

For i know i can't control fate... as i did nothing to make some particular things happen.. sometimes... just let it as what it is...

For I am glad to know that I have a friend out there who I can really rely on and that is enough... as my mum told me it doesn't matter how many friends you have.... it is that one special friend that makes the difference in your life for the better....

I am so sad that my 2 darling nephew and niece are returning to England... I am going to miss Ethan so much and when he is back he'll be a toddler le... so i can't carry him with ease anymore...

Also at the airport I spent a lot of time with my first uncle's grand daughter who is 4 years old... she is so cute and obedient and I carried her around like she is my daughter=D haha I hope some day I can have a child just like her..hahahahahahaha

One more week till graduation le... I hoped it rained heavily cos I am going to wear long sleeved blouse and dark long pants and a very heavy gown for the ceremony...

And I hope the hot weather goes away soon... it's giving me a headache everyday and I can't go out:/

Trip to Pulau Ubin on Mother's day

2008-05-14T23:38:00.000-07:00

Went to Pulau Ubin last Sunday as my father said he needed to "guo hai"(travel by sea) to remove his bad luck...

I was initially against the idea as I dreamt of a tsunami in Singapore the night before and the next day he mentioned this.

But still I go ahead with the arrangement and I didn't regret one bit!!! Cos it was so fun to travel on a boat!! too bad I was too absorbed with the sea view while aboard that i didn't took any pics:(

Sadly, when we reached the island... the sea was loaded with rubbish... my sister overheard one angmoh said it was 'full of trash'.

We then proceeded to a small temple to pray and then to a bigger and older one. My father even chided my mother on why we have to pray 2 times. lol
I still don't wanna get near the sea alone.. so scary...

The dog that kept following us... and scared the hell out of my sister.

I just love the countryside!
Saw a couple of cute children on the way... and I thought I saw Rimus!!!! The mini size boy had his head away from me so for one moment I really thought it was my darling!

Then, my parents stopped by the garden where the residents there took care of some really beautiful flowers... mummy said some of them are at least 10 years old..

Pulau Ubins very own Christmas tree....

After which the whole family proceeded to Changi Beach for a family picnic... and there was a very pleasant surprise!!!

When we were chatting under a tree a beautiful flower fell onto my mummy's lap!!! It was the perfect mother's day gift!!!!!!

Will be there again next year!!!!

Went out with Charis and Chou Meng yesterday... was hanging at Jurong Point to get a birthday present for Zhu Bin and also I had to meet him up to get the clothes to be sold...

We spent about 5 hours walking around and suggested many gifts.... from cap, to tee shirt to tie and finally decided on a cool jacket!!!

Then we had our ice-cream at SCOOPZ and the people attending to us were very nice and patient... guess we took about 10 minutes deciding on the flavours! Then Chou Meng jokingly said that he boss would be thinking that he should have just serve only 3 flavours...

When ZB msged us to meet at 7pm we proceeded to K-POOL to kill time... cm taught me to play the game but guessed I am just hopeless at the game :p

Got a free ride from ZB home and haha the funny thing is we kept talking then he forgot where he was going le and asked me to lead the way.

Received a super bad news just now so wasn't in the best of mood...

By the way do visit this site!!! help me clear the instocks=D

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

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...

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

2008-04-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-21T06:12:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-21T05:10:00.000-07:00

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! :)

2008-04-19T02:51:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-17T23:31:00.001-07:00

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

2008-04-11T23:14:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-08T05:48:00.000-07:00

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...

Ah!

2008-04-06T00:06:00.000-07:00

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

2008-04-05T06:57:00.000-07:00

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

It's all gonna be over soon...

2008-03-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

My boss don't let me quit... so I am to stay for another 2 weeks (IF i am still alive)

Went out with Charis yesterday... spent the whole day at Orchard shopping... when I got home my energy has been totally drained out of my body... I was sooo tired but happy as I could totally use the retail therapy...

Bought a puffy blue stripped dress and a babytop shirt at Far east which cost about $100 in all... I know I am crazy but I really like them and dunno why yesterday I was in a splurging mood...

In fact I think I will regret it if I don't buy=D So I psycho myself to buy it=D haha

Please give me the energy to go through the next 2 weeks!!! Please please I don't want to be a victim of bad luck again!

The cruel world

2008-03-28T03:58:00.000-07:00

Have been working at the centre for a month.... all i can say that I am at the peak of my unhappiness.... and it could only get worse if I continue..

I have never been more stressed and unhappy in my life.... and I want to end this unecessary experience which many said was a 'learning experience'.

Yes, I did learn a lot of things about myself, that I could be so unlucky, stupid, careless and useless.

And how much I suffered by working solely for money which was my only motivation... I felt no joy, no appreciation and tired all the time...

All I got were complaints about trivial matters that I never would dream about... demands and demands... workloads that could kill my weekends...

All when I was only a part timer... and I've been in the centre for like... less than a month...

Shall not elaborate more about this... though I definitely feel much better talking about it in my blog..

Thanks to all my friends who listened to me these days and checking to see if i'm alright...

I hope I am lucky enough to work at my previous centre, where the pay is lower but I am HAPPIER!

I want to get a lot of things when I received my pay... I want to be happy again!

I received new pictures of my darling baby james!!!!=D I wish I could hug him he looked so much like baby ryan=D

Quote of the day: The bad times will go away.

Sky of Love

2008-03-22T07:42:00.001-07:00

Finally get to go out today=D Though I promised I should see a doctor but I really wanna have fun today so heeee ^^

Watched "Sky of Love" with my poly best friend QiYu!!! too bad my Dear Ashidah couldn't make it.

Cried during most part of the movie even though I tried to hold back my tears but I just couldn't help it. This movie is so touching and it made me realise something so important.

Just when I thought true love no longer exists in this world and that I am the only fool in the world who believed in that a while ago... this movie makes me rethink about many aspects of my life...

Just when I think love shun me and that I could never pick up from where I left off I feel myself wanting to change that.

I will wait for my time=D I want to experience the miracle on earth.. to truly love someone...

But right now... I will love all my children first:D

I want a love story like Mika and Hiro^^

Dilemma

2008-03-20T06:30:00.000-07:00

A few days ago I received a couple of complaints from the kids' parents... shall not elaborate about the petty matters but there is one where I have to call the parent up to apologize. Me not very happy but never mind...

Found that the children are getting attached to me and I love it=D But I know that I can't be with them for long cos I don't have the energy to work there... I always feel like a dead log at the end of the day and hungry constantly while at work

And my boss extended my working hours from 9.30am-7pm to 9.30am-7.30pm... 10 hours of work... working with the ever active and accident prone toddlers... is just killing me..

sure.. they're cute... but my body does not have the energy to deal with them for such long hours... and with the parents' complaints and me as the main teacher now that the previous form teacher has quit... is just killing my social life..

I can't go out for a simple movie or dinner cos by the time I reached home it was about 8.30pm... and no energy to do anything else..

Btw, I received a call from NTUC CC asking me to join them... should I??? Would it be fair to the toddlers if I leave them? Though they drives me mad at times but I remained patient with them as they are still little. But the work is killing me... I want my health back...

What should I do???????????????????

2008-03-17T06:35:00.000-07:00

I've bounced back from my terrible mood and in fact I enjoyed myself with the children today!!!!!! =D

There were only 8 of them and they were so lovely with me today=D =D

I guess they are used to me le:D I gave away lots of hugs and kisses today! And played a lot with them too:D

Saw Ryan again today!!! And he gave me the blur look again... I hope I could hug him!!!

Went out with Bao Yi my jap craze tomodachi last Thursday to catch up on what we've been missing out on each other's life.... watched the Spiderwick Chronicles was a little disappointed cos i expected more...

I believe the kids would love it though

Before the movie We had our lunch at Kobayashi Cineleisure and then proceeded immediately to Burger King (how i miss working there) for our snacks... large onion rings and taro pies!!!!!

I saw my ex colleague Auntie Annie!!!! She even gave me a free drink... haha

My dad picked me up at the lakeside mrt station for his birthday celebration... that night he was super happy and kept ordering food as though they were free...

then the whole family went to Boon Lay Shopping centre to shop and then went home to my mum's sharkfin soup =D =D =D

I bought for my a dad a bottle of moisturizer cos he has been complaining of the air con drying his skin out hahahahahaha

OH MY I've been coughing non-stop till today that I have no mood to go out and have been experiencing extreme tiredness...

I want my health back!!!!!!!!

Linda is so sad

2008-03-15T01:57:00.000-07:00

I know I shouldn't be feeling sad about it but I just can't help it.

I don't want to work there anymore.... and if there's anything that is more heartbreaking it is to deal with rich people's kids.

I know they're just children and I've been trying to make myself forget about it.. but it is wiping off the smiles on my face these days... I just don't have the mood and energy to smile after work.

And my schedule was changed from 9am-6pm to 9.30-7pm -.-"

I remembered the days where I was working at the NTUC childcare centre and I was smiling all the time and what I felt was genuine love for the children and vice versa.

Here I could feel nothing... i felt disrespected and bullied in some ways... I mean I know they are still toddlers but they sure know how to break hearts.

i will keep telling myself to be PATIENT and PATIENT.

And oh ya I was told off by my superior because of a couple of mistakes and one involving a parent telling lies. Shall not elaborate further.

Spent the whole saturday in bed most of the time cos YES I am still sick from the flu with an additional infected eye.

so i was in hell working on friday... I want to go out in the weekends and it flopped.

Was so glad to talk to Mr O my best friend a few days ago hope you are doing well :)

Oh ya I saw Ryan's dad picking Ryan up in the noon when I was going out for lunch... he's soooo cute when I see him closeup... a bit of rashes around his face though...

Ryan is going to have a new sibling( i'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl) but i heard the baby weighs 5.6 KG!!!!!!!!!! OMG

I want to go back to my previous children where I feel APPRECIATED.

Don't worry I'll bounced back:) Thank you dear friends for all your concerns:)

working ordeals

2008-03-11T20:26:00.000-07:00

I am sick to the core and can't work today... which means i gave up the chance to earn $59.50 today...

My working schedule was changed to 9.30am to 7pm this week... so by the time i reached home it will be about 8pm...

sigh i am soooooooo tired...

that i lost a kg during my 2 weeks there... sounds exaggerating but it is true...

ok it's not forever so i don't want to nag about it...

besides i love the children and i have to tell myself all the time that they are children... i must be gentle and patient to them..

and now to work on my energy level and immunity system.

oh ya i found out a lot of things from working...

that aunties at the centre don't treat the temporary teachers equally... (ok at least i am not alone)

that kids by the name of "Ryan" are soooooooooo adorable...

but i still love my old Ryan:)

there is this little Ryan in the infant room class and he will be promoted to my class in 2 months time (well if i am still teaching)

He is so cute... with blond hair and blue eyes and quite plump too.. i thought he had an adult face at times....

haha but i can only see him cos i am not allowed in the infant room >.<

been thinking a lot about my future these days... but i don't have a clue! perhaps i should just enjoy my youth years now....

mmmm.... i don't want to lead a dull life. but in the mean time i still have to work!

and yes i want to go to Japan!!!!!!!

Can't wait for the weekends to come again...:D

Linda is so tired...

2008-03-08T06:07:00.000-08:00

Linda is so tired that she don't even have the energy to smile....

Been working for 1 week at the little skool house... I work with the toddlers... who are a bunch of fiesty kids and most definitely challenging.

My work schedule:

9am to 9.30am- Watch the children eat their breakfast properly, send them to the music room to assemble. Deal with separation anxiety. Coaxing crying kids.

9.30am to 10am- Change diapers... deal with baby X who cried non-stop and demanding me to carry him. all 18 kg of him.

10am to 10.30am- Try my very best to force them to drink water... wipe off the water the children have purposely spilled on the floor... activity time... calling out to the children every min not to throw toys

10.30 to 11am- Shower time + change diaper.... I always get wet... but it's fun bathing them.:)

11am to 11.30am- Lunch time... have the watch the kids very carefully... some were playing with their food, one of them grabbing other's food, one refused to be fed, one is throwing a tantrum, another refused to use a spoon

As usual.... a battlefield in the diner area...

11.30 to 12.00- Put bed sheets on each child's mattresses (12 of them) and line down their pillow, bolster and huggies. Make milk.

12 to 12.30- Make sure the childrne finished all their milk.... on the naptime music.... collect their bottles. Pat the children to sleep. One of them took me at least 20 minutes of coaxing.

12.30 to 1pm- Still coaxing some of them to sleep.

1pm to 2pm- Lunch time. But a few kids woke up... so they watched me eat.

2 pm to 3pm- Work on the computer for lesson plans for the children. Interrupted every 10 min cos the children kept crying and wants me to carry them.

3pm to 3.30pm- wake the children up. Keep all their bedsheets and and pillows. Make milk for some of them. Still trying to wake up a few of them who cried non-stop when I tried to.

3.30 to 4.15pm- Change of diaper. Tea-time.

4.15 to 5.25- Activity time. Chasing the children everywhere. Stopping their from biting one another and throwing toys.

5.25 to 6pm- Dinner time. Again the battle begins.

6pm to 6.10(OT but no pay)- Change of diaper. I switched to super fast mode.

6.10am to 7pm- Drag my weary feet home....

Money earned for the day: happy happy=D so tired that i shower, ate and go straight to bed>.<

So here I am because I had just been "pon tang" by The Little Skool House...

Supposed to reach by 10am for my assessment (to see whether I qualify) and at 8.35am they changed it to 4.30pm -.-"

15 more min and I'll be out of the house le... think I'll be more sian then..

Never mind.... now I have the time to blog a little about what happened to me recently..

Yesterday interview at the Little Skool House was so formal and strict that I wasn't the least prepared for it... sigh

Immediately after the interview they gave me an assignment which is to prepare a lesson with the toddlers... I spent 4 hours to prepare the necessary props for my storytelling session today... and they pon me... ><

Watched the movie: "L Changed the World" with Charis and QiYu my 2 twins:D

Oh my i didn't know there was gory scenes so at times I closed my eyes to shut off from those disgusting images...

But I love the movie!!! Because of L of cos!!! my initial is also L.... haha

L is super cool and cute!!! and brainy!!!!

L my idol! XP When i told my mother how cute he is she shouted at me: jian gui lah!!!

hahaha my brother also don't like L.... wait till they see this movie... which I don't mind watching again!! =D

I am going to decorate my room with L posters.... hoping that my father don't step into my room or he will scream at me cos he also thinks L looks like a ghost ><

No family support but I still like L:D

Oh ya... btw my blog shop is www.modelafterme.blogspot.com

The Little Skool House

2008-02-26T20:31:00.000-08:00

Received a call from an unknown lady 2 days ago...

i couldn't hear her very well as she was talking in a really strong accent and there was background noises.

She told me I was accepted into the Little RAFFLES school house at Raffles place as an assistant teacher...

My first reaction was: WAH! Ang moh kids???? And I was pretty worried too...

I searched for the school in the internet and indeed I was starting to believe that my nightmare was really coming true...

True, i find ang moh kids very cute but then i have never taught them and that i'll be more comfortable with our local NTUC kids.

So i have a couple of sleepless nights because of this....

Then today, I have a feeling that i better call the centre to confirm the location again... cos I apply via NTUC website... how can they send me to an angmoh school???

I was right.... the principal told me it was THE LITTLE SKOOL HOUSE. -.-" Under NTUC Childcare but it caters to the middle and high income group... And she asked if i could work full time instead of part time.

sigh.....

I wonder who was on the line 2 days ago....

Am i disappointed??? A little ba... cos i was brainwashing myself the past 2 days that angmoh kids are very cute... their english standard very good blah blah...

And now i can't get to see them >.<

Beeen very busy these past few nights setting up my blog business... so many things to do... so little time >.<

Starting work tomorrow le... i hope the kids are nice to me.... cos i am starting to miss my NTUC kids now!!! ><

Ryan!!! Rimus!!!! Darian!!! Tammy!!!! Rika!!!! and the list goes on...

God Bless Eduardo

2008-02-23T07:38:00.000-08:00

After watching the terrifying match between Birmingham and Arsenal I nearly broke down and cried...

Eduardo da Silva of Arsenal had been kicked in the ankle resulting in a broken ankle... it was so severe that i was shaking thoughout the match and the other players turned away in shock right after the accident... I was still feeling grossed out while i am typing this...

It was the first time i have seen such a terrible accident live on television... i was so shocked that i couldn't talk for a moment...Eduardo just laid there motionless.... while the physiologists and doctors were hard at work... everyone players on the field were having blank expressions on their faces...

I sincerely wish with all my heart that Eduardo could walk normally again and resume his football career... for he is a great player for Arsenal and certainly doesn't deserve such a horrifying injury...

As for the player who did that to him..... you better be sorry....

Miscellaneous stuff

2008-02-17T05:57:00.000-08:00

Mmm... been resting these days... been stuck at home since Thursday due to a virus... or should i call it having the lack of blood needed for normal functioning of the body... mmm.. what do you call that???? sigh..

Will talk about some interesting things that happened during my homestay... haha

About a few days ago my father encountered a freakish incident while he was driving...
as he was driving down an road lined with many trees... something plopped down on this car's front glass panel and gave my dad the shock of his life...

It was a SNAKE!!!!

A greenish snake that measures about 2m long... and it was stuck there for good...

My father stoned for a few seconds before he got out of his car and picked the longest branch he could find....

After that, as quickly as he could, he poked the snake, which curled around the branch and disappeared among the bush when my dad swung his arm.

My dad returned to his car and called my auntie... whom i think is a fortune teller... and asked her what this sign might mean.. (the encounter with the snake)... haha

After words spread around my relatives everyone is buying my dad's car plate number for 4D... haha funny people...

`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Had a terrible headache on Friday night due to that illness... at one point I even wanted to chop my head off... terrible terrible pain... watched "Survivor" with my mum and we chatted a lot... realised that I didn't really spend a lot time with her and is feeling kinda guilty... trying to make it all up in the holis... I love my mum=D

Been helping my mum out with the housework... which can be worse than doing homework but it is so rewarding:D Like you played an important role in the family..... haha now i realised being a housewife is not easy at all... really salute my mummy...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still looking for a job these days but guess I wanna take it easy first... been feeling so tired and I really wanna spent more time with my mum and friends...

So ANGRY last night.... ><>

ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY

SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD

Stay up all night to watch this match and they lost... sigh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Been watching lots of dramas when I'm at home... makes me so lazy.... starting to dislike love dramas le... sigh... more into comedies and action movies le...

Saw a lot of cute children when i was out last week... :D somehow they always light me up! hope i can kidnap one to play with at home heeee!!!

Been feeling lousy these days.... hope I'll find a new miracle this loooooong holiday...

Jia you Jia you!!!!!!!!!!

I love anime!!!!!!!!

2008-02-13T05:01:00.000-08:00

Just completed the second set of the anime Fushigi Yuugi for a second time... my favourite character is Tasuki!!!!! I like Tamahome a lot too!

My 2 favourite characters!

I was so hooked on it that i imagined myself to be in the other world... kinda fascinating i think... it has always been what i wanted... Miaka is such a lucky girl...

Went to Orchard with Charis yesterday to get my mineral makeup... oh my god... super ex... sigh... why do i have sensitive skin???? -.-" But i like their blushes:D so nice... might be going back to get it... hope my father strike lottery... haha

After which charis and me meet up with Jo, Jiamin and Huimin for the movie "Kungfu dunk"..

OMG... the movie was soooooooo nice!!!!!!!!! Didn't expect it cos I'm not a fan of Jay Chou... I like the Captain chen bolin he is so cooool!!! even though he's an alcoholic :p

Overall very satisfied with the movie... great fighting scene and lots of funny moments...:D inspired me to take up competitive sports again:D:D:D

Arsenal leads by 5 points!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!! I hope van persie comes back soon....

My mum bought for me a ladies Arsenal Jersey!!! I am going to put van persie's name behind it.

Had a bad dream last night... dreamt that my mother was bullied and I threatened to beat the person up but she got away... think it was a fat aunt... also dreamt that Rimus cried when i carried him... like he no longer recognize me... oh my!!!!!! I will never want this to happen!!!!

was kinda happy yesterday because of the outing and also that O is feeling better!! hmmm... hope O is happy forever=D

p.s... I want to see my red hair guy in my dream again!!! :p

Dream

2008-02-11T05:35:00.000-08:00

Let me talk a little about my dream last night...

Was having a conversation on msn with a friend who is very important to me and it wasn't pleasant but i was feeling fine surprisingly...

Was thinking about what he said all the time... until i fell asleep...

I dreamt of him telling me the same thing he did on msn.... and then I walked away... and there was this guy with very fair skin, tall, skinny with red hair taking me on his bike...

I was carrying lots of shopping bags ( i dunno why too) and this guy, in a slightly irritated manner he offered to help me carry them as he took me for a spin on his bike...

He claimed to know my weijie gor gor (my nanny's son and my godbrother) and surprisingly some of my friends too!

Haha it feels like I've known him for a long time cos we talked a lot about our family stuffs etc... then he dropped both of us off at a mrt station (dunno where) and I dashed up the stairs and this guy was like : " HEY HEY HEY" in a fatherly strict tone... haha

After that.... I can't remember le.... :'(

Haha but nonetheless I was in a better and even good mood though I kept thinking about certain things too...

Haha hope to see the red headed guy again in my dream... wonder where he'll take me to this time... haha hope he is friendlier this time... but ironically i kinda liked his rudeness to me!!! :D It's just so funny...

Received many photos from my relatives in Thailand today... (I love them!!) Hope to visit them soon...

Wanna share a song with you guys... It's called "Anything but Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne..

Anything but Ordinary
Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident, turibulent, succulent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.
oh
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Chinese New Year!!!!

2008-02-10T04:23:00.000-08:00

This year would be my 20th Chinese new year celebration >.<>.< cos my cousins all have children and now i feel so old...

haha But i enjoy the children's company a lot cos they are all so cute!!! :D Especially my dearest Ethan... the 4 months old baby... who is very attached to my mama:D I got to carry him in my arms and it felt really heartwarming:)

But i still do not like Chinese new year... I guess most of you will feel the same way too... rotting at my relative house for 5 hours (ya same house) for Day 1,then move on to second house, third... forth and finally back to my house where I have to help out my mum to whip up a meal for the guests.. so everything ends near 10pm from morning...

I am sad on the second day cos my father don't want to visit my nanny house... super unhappy but i would rather not talk about it.

This year is very different because there are so many children for me to play with!!!! I realised that i clicked better with them rather than with my cousins so I wasn't bored this year...

Ok here's the pics ^^ My mama and papa ^^

My mum with baby Ethan~~~~

He is enjoying his "drumstick" haha

Me kissing baby Ethan....

Ethan's sister... Poppy! Very active and naughty...

Cannot sit still!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.< Isn't she a cutie???? ^^

My piano keys almost broke :'(

Heee heee Zhi Wei... he liked to hug me lol :D

Hwee Ling... who is my father's brother's stepdaughter's daughter=D

She is very cute... when i call out to her she would follow me... i even taught her how to play cards ^^

She gave me her car lol

Feasting at my house... i helped to prepare the food ^^

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!!:D

1st outing after graduation

2008-02-04T21:42:00.000-08:00

Went out with my dearest friends from np... none other than QiYu, Ash & Gill.... Agnes couldn't joined us cos she got a doctor appointment.

After passing up our last assignment in school, which signify the end of our struggles... we felt totally relieved and welcomed our new found freedom...

We headed to Ash's auntie house to see baby Yusof!!!! He is so cute and really hard to handle too... as he is very active.. he also like to smile and laugh a lot!!! so cute..

After which we took a bus to Pasir Ris park and we found a bicycle rental shop where we spent about 20 minutes choosing a suitable bike for each of us...

It cost $5 an hour but the uncle gave us an extra hour free=D so it's only $2.50 an hour:):):)

It was such a refreshing feeling cycling down the path next to the sea coast... the sea breeze felt cooling and the weather was great! The sun was just right and the temperature was below 30 degree i think..

After cycling for about an hour we felt really tired and stopped by the playground to rest... however... the site had too many fun corners and the four of us couldn't resist giving each of them a go...

Our favourite was the saucer... where we were spin 360 degree mid-air... okok i am exaggerating.. we were suspended at least 5 ft high at one point...

pictures! =D

At the start of the spin... still looking calm..

Spinning.... ..... & spinning.....

Arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it over yet?????

We climbed all the way up the web to have a go at this slide but we couldn't slide down cos it wasn't smooth enough... so we ended up stuck there >.<
Closeup.... haha looked like we're in a jungle ^^

We proceeded to White Sand shopping centre to have our dinner at Cavana. Ash ordered hotplate black paper chicken, Qi Yu ordered teriyaki noodles, while Gill ordered laksa and me Sambal Fish rice...

In the end Gill and I swopped our meals cos i do not like mine and Gill preferred mine=D

After dinner, we took np as a group to mark our graduation day:) 3 years just flew by.... i couldn't believe it...
Will miss Ngee Ann dearly... so proud to be in this school..

>.< Will post more pictures of my secondary school which I took last year:) :)

Looking forward to my looooong holidays:)

Take care everyone!

My lovely Nursery Class

2008-02-01T08:00:00.000-08:00

Really really happy to talk to O today... :) Though can't really see much of O on msn... the little time we chatted became really meaningful and important:) missed baby james too

Visited my ex nursery class yesterday:)

They're now in K1!!! I've watched Ryan grew since he was 2!

But i didn't get to see my Rimus... sigh

Was really happy as the children shouted out my name when i entered the centre... they still remembered me and missed me too!!!!!!!!!

My only embarrassing moment was when i couldn't differentiate between the twins, kimmie and kimberly and I called Kimmie "kimberly" by mistake...

Cute Kimmie: "No... I Kimmie... Kimberly there! Neh! *pulls me to another table* There here Kimberly!

Kimberly: ... ... ...... *surprised expression

Then my dear Ryan said: Teacher Linda, wo xiang ni eh... (i missed you)

I caressed his cheeks and Chanel said: Teacher Linda i also want you to touch my face... haha =D

And in the end I caressed 20 pairs of cheeks... haha

It feels so great to be remembered, missed and appreciated...

I hope I can continue to touch children's life and earn their love and trust...

I will always remember my nursery class of 2007:)

Ended the second last torture today with a human resource management test.... haha judging by the topic you'll know how "un-interesting" the subject is and how drrryyyy the content is....

I like poppy a lot... cos she is very cute... and she likes to sit on my lap:)

Poppy's mouse toy... it was the same toy she brought to my house a year ago.. and she kept chewing on it... so it carries a special smell... >.<

Last night i dreamt of my idol Roger Federer!!! I hope he can continue to inspire me to play tennis=D

Happy to talk to O today cos it has been some time since we last chatted... bad O... i still don't like you... >.< and i will beat you everytime i see you...

Hungry????????????????????

2008-01-17T07:38:00.000-08:00

They say absence makes the heart grows fonder... but no it's not true for me

I hope I will talk to you less often... so i will not think of you

I wish you could just disappear... so i will not keep on hoping

I wish you could stop telling me you like me.... when i could measure how much it is

I wish I could find someone else to turn to.... and no it will not be you

I just want to be your friend.... but why can't I feel the way I want to...

So just stay away... i don't want to know anything about you...

Because you make me miserable... so go away...

I want to taste some sweetness once in a while... but why isn't it happening yet...

I miss you...

(ps. don't think too much... this is just a song i did)

2008-01-15T07:07:00.000-08:00

If there's one thing i hate about myself... it would definitely be my capability in terms of making decisions...

All along I've been going with my gut feeling... and lacking the intellectual part...

Missed opportunities... wrong decisions... bad luck are something i am so familiar with that I am so afraid to make important decisions now...

Right after graduation... i have to make the decision on whether I am going into a tertiary institution to get a degree like almost everyone do..

My dad told be to think twice before i make the decision.... cos he mentioned about never wanting to hear me complain that i want to give up half way through my studies...

True.. but my head isn't working very well these days... i want to experiment with many things... i don't want to be tied down with one particular job...

It's not really a big deal for me to go uni but it is a BIG DEAL in singapore if you want a decent job...

If i took up the Psychology course which would take about 4 years i would graduate in about 2012 and i'll be like 24-25 then.... sigh! there goes my wish of getting married early!!! >.<

I only have less than a month to make this BIG decision oh my what am i suppose to do?????

Cruel cruel reality!!!!

Steamboat party

2008-01-13T06:38:00.000-08:00

Went to Bugis "Happy Pay Steamboat" restaurant with fellow FUHUARIAN which consists of the Loners Party and the 6 Princesses Club + Azelia:)

Actually I don't wanna go because of the heavy workloads and the fact that I have no money left in my wallet.

In the end I went because of some personal conflict which I wish to forget..

I really feel much better during dinner as everyone was in a really happy mood and I felt really relieved that I came..

We ate a lot, cos it was especially expensive... $26 a person.. oh ya thanks Charis for helping me with the payment!

It was fun but for me and Jiamin... it felt like we were in a sauna... as the steam from the steamboat were hitting at us...

After everyone stopped eating... MR DANNY LU YOU KANG suggested we play "zong ji mi ma" and the punishment for this game was to gulp down a glass of lemon tea...

After which the game was changed to 7 UP which was suggest by Zhi Hao...

Everyone was so into the game that poor Zhi Hao have to leave his seat to refill the glasses after every game for the forfeit.

The shop owner must be wondering why her lemon tea requires constant refilling... haha

I guess the record holder is Jia Min and Ling Jie who drank about 6 to 8 glasses of lemon tea..

I drank only 1 :)

After which the whole gang went home by the MRT which was rather fun too as we were chatting...

Thanks Jiamin and her dad for giving me a ride on their car after we reach lakeside MRT station... :) But Chou meng don't want to hitch a ride with us :(

here's a pic... i hope i can be this happy everyday...
12/1/2008 just in case you guys didn't know... DANNY is the one who resembles the zhao cai mao (fortune cat)

2008-01-12T06:28:00.000-08:00

I know it is rather unusual for me to miss blogging for a week...

Yes, I've been rather busy these days... but the real reason is the past few days have been depressing... and I don't wanna keep those memories in my blog...

Close friends of mine: Thanks for listening to me... I know you guys can't help but I can't control my emotions these days... I kept thinking about that problem so much that sometimes i feel like wo yi jin huo de bu nai fan le.

Why do I have to be bothered by this problem for so many years? And it is even affecting my future career prospect.

I know there's always a way out... such as working part time to earn the extra money..

But I am so tired... i am a normal person... i want to hang out with my friends... without ever having to worry about having no money...

It is getting so sick sometimes that I can't help but feel so hopeless... and letting my imagination go wild...

I was never like this in the past... i was wondering if the pills I took gave me depression..

What can I do?

somethings that happened

2008-01-07T03:14:00.000-08:00

Today, my name was called out during AMPYC lecture....

Not a common scenario to begin with...

The lecturer sounded stern and disappointed as she told me and a few other to see her after class..

Turned out it got to do with poor attendance..

My first reaction was: "Huh?" you mei you gao cuo?

I stared blankly at my friends who returned me the same confused expressions...

Haha seriously...

Would I dare to miss her lecture?? she so strict...

I never missed any of her lecture... nor was I late...

I am not angry with my lecturer.... but i am glad that she listened to me...

Not her fault to begin with anyway... it's the office people lor... hai wo >.<

Good thing O sent me some pictures of his friends' children who are simple adorable... baby emile is very cute haha you'll smile when you see him:) maybe life isn't so bad after all.... mmm.... Here you go... Baby Emile!!!! ^^

Rounding up 2007

2007-12-29T21:54:00.000-08:00

Was inspired by my brother, who gave me the idea for rounding up this year with my very own "Top 10 lists" for any topic....

But Top 10 is too much i think... i think i will put down only Top 3... haha

here I goooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linda's 2007 Top 3 lists for ANYTHING...

1. Top 3 inspiring characters

1) Witch Yoo Hee

Why? I admired her for great haircut, which inspired me to cut mine. Also, her strong personality and skilled self-defence against baddies makes her a role-model for all women.

2) Julianne from "My best friend's wedding" (played by Julia Roberts)

Why? She helped me see things better... what's never meant to be yours will never be.

3) Korean music artistes

Why? i never knew that Korean music could be so inspiring and touching. Try Goong OST & Witch Yoo Hee OST.

Top 3 TV characters

1) Dean Winchester

Why? Because my mum is also a fan... because he's fearless... which i aspired to be... And because i got his autograph!!!!!!!!!

2) Michael Scofield

Why? Because he could risk it all for his brother... which makes him a fearless character too..

3) Melissa from "Ghost Whisperer"

Why? Because she helps the wandering spirits of the dead.

Top 3 athletes

1) Robin van Persie

Why? Never mind the fact that he's been sidelined for more than 3 months... he's still a HERO.

2) KAKA

Why? Because he beat CR for FIFA World player of the year.

3) Cesc Fabregas

Why? Because he lead arsenal to almost all their victories and the fact that he likes to criticize the referee a lot.

Top 3 EPL teams

1) Arsenal FC

The dream before X'mas

2007-12-23T00:49:00.000-08:00

Had a sweet dream yesterday...

Dreamt of someone who i did not expect to enter my dream (NO, not O), and it was rather interesting... cos i was engaged to him... strange dream

Dreamt that I lived on the 17th floor of an exclusive condo...

Dreamt that I was taking my sister out.... with my close friends...

Dreamt that I was putting on my favourite dress...

It was almost perfect..... .....

Is this a going to be my X'mas miracle???

Hmmmm........

2007-12-22T22:39:00.000-08:00

I don't believe in fighting for what you want....

The endless turmoil you throw yourself into and there is never a guarantee of a reward...

Because I love myself more... so I will give up...

And because I am happy the way it is now.....

Free to do whatever I like......

But not losing what I have in sight.

Mr Lim

2007-12-21T07:31:00.000-08:00

Yesterday at Novena I saw Mr Lim... I was so shocked that I left my mouth hanging for a couple of second.

He was with someone... probably his wife... and he starred at me for 5 seconds before turning away.

I should have called out to him......

It's been about 4 years since i last saw him....

He's a really nice person from what I can remember... hope he's doing fine now...

Hoping to have a X'mas miracle..

I want Rimus &Ryan for X'mas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-12-18T07:34:00.000-08:00

Rimus Rimus Rimus Rimus=D =D =D I heart you :) :) :)

Went to the childcare today to interview 2 kids....

As I was seated facing the toddler's class... my eyes would wander from time to time and somehow fixated on the same spot..

There he was.... my Rimus=D

He saw me too and was smiling so brightly:D

And he waved at me... before i did....

wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy!

Even though i was seated quite far away... about 6 to 7 metres away...

He looked so happy to see me:) I guess this is called 'yuan fen' ba... out of so many kids in the world i chose him...

And he chose me=D

Ryan... i still love you cos you're the first child that ever touches my heart! And the fact that you're Rimus's brother was such as cute coincidence!!!!=D

I am starting to miss you again... :'(

Went out with Qi Yu and Ashidah today... haha actually wanted to watch movie but in the end shopping sounded better!=D

Had our meal at J entertainment today... shopped around watson before spending the next 4 hours in Jurong Point...

spend lots of $$$$$ on X'mas presents for papa, Xiao di and bangzhu...

I was thinking... if i happen to be rich i would have gotten my friends great presents... this has always been my dream but it has yet to come true... 'you xin we li' haha

Really happy today though i got a terrible headache when I got home...

We should hang out again someday shall we ^.-

Aiyah! Forgot to take photos >.<

sick bug go away!

2007-12-17T03:06:00.000-08:00

Dunno what happened to my stomach these days.... decreased appetite.... numb taste buds...

A few days ago i ate some chocolates and felt nauseous the rest of the day... at some point i even felt like vomiting...

Sigh... of all time... during my holidays :'(

Oh ya I was so happy last night even though i was running a slight fever... I stayed up till 2am in the morning supporting my favourite team in the world.

Arsenal 1 Chelsea 0

Arsenal 1 Chelsea 0

Arsenal 1 Chelsea 0

Arsenal 1 Chelsea 0

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM SO HAPPY!!!! :D :D :D:D:D:D:D

Actually Arsenal could have won 3-0 you know????

1) Van persie's goal was ruled offside... (what offside??? i watched the replay! hmph)

2)Adebayor was fouled before he scored the 3rd goal. (fouled? so the chelsea player was right to stop him physically from scoring?)

But at the end of the day.. we won!!! =D

3 vital points from Arsenal's most hated rival. YIPEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I can gloat about this the whole week.

Christmas is coming soon... will I finally get what I've been wishing for all this while?

Merry X'mas my friends!=D

new haircut

2007-12-12T07:25:00.001-08:00

I got myself a new haircut...... something like a bob one

I wonder how Rimus will react to it... will he still recognize me???

It's been 4 or 5 years since i last have short hair... and this time it's rather short.

Can't wait to see Rimus tomorrow!!!!

I am happy today because of my very kind poly classmates who commented very kindly on my new haircut. Even though i was not confident with it.

O will be so shocked to see it.... cos he've always seen me in long hair...

wonder if i really made the right choice? cos it's not easy to grow back to it's full length now...

hmmmmm........

why am i discontented with everything???

new haircut

2007-12-12T07:25:00.000-08:00

2007-12-10T06:02:00.000-08:00

Arsenal Lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Why Why Why Why Why Why????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:'(:'(:'(:'(

Haiz.....

2007-12-08T21:00:00.000-08:00

It's been 4 days since I last talked to O. And I think our last conversation was left on a bad note. Knew something about O which I disliked but what can I do?

Now, I can only make myself think that he had been busy the past few days due to work.

What's yours is yours, what isn't will never be. :'(

Not something that i could get used to but i will try. Don't wanna be too reliant on anything.

Been missing Rimus terribly these days... really hope i could clone him and keep him forever:)

Went shopping with Bang Zhu after school last Friday. Went to Captivating to shop for my supposedly new year clothes. Even with the 30 % discount for first piece and 1/2 price on the second one the prices were still steep. I saw a bubble dress for $69.90 and tried it after much persuasion from Bang Zhu. I liked how i looked in the mirror after trying and decided to buy it.

Bangzhu bought a casual top and she agreed to split the total cost together=D which was $35 for each of us.

Been very busy with school work but i thought it was good to get myself preoccupied. I really love the show "Witch Yoo Hee" and i love her bob haircut! Was thinking of getting a haircut like hers but i guess i wasn't ready for such a short hairdo. I've pretty bad experienced with short hairdos before i was 15 because i was forced into cutting short hair all the time.

Maybe i will try it when i turned 21. heeee Was thinking of cutting my hair this monday as i wanted a pleasant change.

i really hope Arsenal wins tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man yoo and Chelski won last night and Liverpool lost:'(

Been eating a lot these past few weeks... and mostly the same things... waffles, cheese fries, bubble tea, cheesecakes, chocolates, fried chicken, takoyaki.....

I hope my weight remains the same.

My family made a bet among ourselves on which premier league team would win the title this season.

Me- Arsenal!! :)(who else?)
Mummy- Arsenal :)
Papa- Chelsea :( arghhhh!!!!!!!
Brother- Liverpool

I need some luck and motivation please!!!!!!!!!
you'll be fine Linda!=D

I don't know

2007-12-04T05:46:00.000-08:00

My mummy told me something today that really surprised me... she can read me very well indeed... just like Charis... sometimes I think that they might be the same person... SCARY...

Indeed what they told me are exactly the same thing... i was wondering.. did they rehearse beforehand??? oh my i'm going crazy!!!

Mummy told me relationship depends on fate... who you bumped into... especially when you least expect it... it all comes down to FATE.

Who is the one who loved/liked you in silence... and you never knew about it? The one who treated you well and supported you in some small ways that you failed to realise? When all along you've been blinded by someone else whom you thought you really liked?

Well that makes some sense... it had me thinking over it....

How true can this be?? I don't know for now... because I don't think i'll be such a lucky person=D
I've met some really nice people in my lives... and they're really nice to me so considering this fact i guess i'm quite fortunate:)

And not to miss out on the little ones (Rimus, Darian, Ryan.... oops... hee hee been talking about them all the time)=D It's a priceless experience to have!

But I'm still a human being after all, if someone showed me kindness I would feel really touched... really really happy:) even if it's just a small thing..

I would like to take this opportunity to list now the people who I'm very glad to have in my life=D

Wu Gong Zhu Bang, Hui Yee, QiYu, Ashidah, Agnes, Chou Meng, Ling Jie, Joyce, Fu Xian, Zhu Bin, Zhao Yang, Pryor, Florence, Nurul, Ah ma bk, Auntie Rosie, Auntie Jennie, some of my good pals from poly, Sakura +++

Hee couldn't name all but you know you're one! hee hee

I'm happying my life away... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

This is the vase i made for the children... nice???? haha not easy oh!!!

Little Children makes my day

2007-12-01T14:53:00.000-08:00

Went back to the centre last Wednesday and yesterday... my eyes were searching for Rimus as usual...

Unfortunately, Rimus's class was getting ready to go outdoor so I didn't see much of him.

But when my group and I had to leave the centre to get something, Rimus's class was returning to the centre from their ourdoor play.

I rushed to Rimus, much to the anticipation of my group members...

I asked Rimus if he still remember me (ji de wo mah?)

He flashed his megawatt smile and muttered something like "ji de".

And then Rimus patted me twice on the back before rejoining his class.

I wished that 30 seconds i had with Rimus could be captured and replayed again and again...

We were in the centre till about 12.00pm... when we were getting ready to leave, Darian (my third love.. second was Ryan) was being punished by the teacher during shower time.

While serving his punishment outside the toilet... he saw me and called out to me affectionately...
"Lindaaaaaaa..."

With a super cute smile on his face:)

Haha yes he called me by my name... and I was so happy to hear it=D

I noticed that Darian is one of the few toddlers who remembered me... and my name =D

Yesterday when my group was getting ready outside the centre and Darian's father happened to drop him off, Darian kept looking over my side and smiling... the kind of smile that showed off his teeth and tells 'i know you, happy to see you:)'

I love you Darian=D I realised that he is getting chubbier and cuter... haha

When i was on my way home after Fri's visit, i chanced upon the playgroup during their outdoor play.

I was greeted by the enthusiastic bunch who repeatedly called out to me as though i was some sort of a superstar... haha at least i felt like one.

TEACHER LINDA TEACHER LINDA TEACHER LINDA BYE BYE BYE BYE!!!

I just love this feeling so much!!! it makes me feel so important!

These days I've been having major headaches almost everyday... dunno why... stress? I don't think so ba... i usually got over things pretty soon and calm when dealing with things.

I hope it goes away soon.

Family trip

2007-11-27T06:05:00.000-08:00

It has been a terribly looooooooooooooooooooooong time since my whole family boarded the MRT together.

Ever since my dad hung up his boots, he has to get used to taking public transport again...

Ha ha it was really fun... and funny when my dad took his first MRT ride in many years. He kept asking us how to go about with the EZ card and haha he looked so funny when he was doing that.

To me... whatever my father does.. is funny. HAHA

So today after school, i have to take the train to Lavender to get my new passports. Met my family there then my father very excited rush inside the building and repeated the same question over and over again (as usual) to the security uncle who happened to be very nice:)

We found our way to a sea of over 300 people and about 15 counters available..

We sat down on the floor near the glass pane since there were no seat available.

My mother said it reminds her of the days she queued up for the MACDONALD'S HELLO KITTY. LOL

My father was walking around the building... hai too hyperactive liao cannot stood still haha

we waited for more than 2 hours.... but doesn't really feel like it cos i was making fun of mummy all the time.. then she cannot stand it went to sit on the empty seat my brilliant dad managed to find in the crowd.

On our way home... (mrt again lor...) we were all standing up cos it seems like we're all fated to stand today.

Then at Newton i think.. there was one caucasian guy who resembled Ty Pennington from Extreme Makeover Home Edition came into our car.

My whole family (excluding my dad cos he was looking around as usual haha) looked at him. He is about 175m tall, brown short hair, flushed face (due to the weather ba), deep blue eyes.

My mum agreed that he looked like the tv host... something about him resembled my father. The man was walking to and fro, around the area he occupy (train was quite empty but limited seats as it was those new maroon interior train) He also looked at us from time to time, must be wondering why we're staring at him. haha

After he got off the 4 of us began chattering away. I told them how come caucasian can have diff eye colours and asian only have 2 types... brown and dark brown... I like asian eye colours though... our eye colour defines innocence... i like it:D

I like blue eyes... they're beautiful... cos all my dolls from childhood years have blue eyes... and O have blue eyes... James have blue eyes.

But that doesn't make me like caucasian guys okok mei mei!

I think i belong to the traditional type... so i can never understand how an ang moh thinks.

It's just that i'm born into the wrong generation. haha

"Have have, don't have, don't have" haha i love this singlish quote.

Leave it to fate ba:D

Hee hee a while ago i embarrassed myself again... but luckily it is Chou Meng.

Shall not elaborate on that haha... but i wanna say that he is really a nice guy and a good friend! Happy to see him around!

Maybe those born with the letter C in their first name are nice... Charis, Cm...

I got a feeling some of you are protesting le... haha L also very nice!

I'm really happy today... cos i got together with my family, O shared a lot of things with me today and he promised to call again..

One thing about me... if you tell me something you're going to do e.g call me, email me, something in particular la...

I will wait till i couldn't take it and doze off..

Happened quite a few times with O... but i don't dare to tell him

bet he will be taken aback, knowing what a weirdo i am.. haha

I'm so tired now... but i've to wait for the call again... waiting is such a hard thing to do.

Goodnight =D

More to talk about... but i'll leave it till the next entry:D

Dreams

2007-11-25T04:39:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, O's friend Babara (who is 7 months pregnant) came to his house with her baby, James to spend the weekends at.

I like James a lot... a very cute, chubby and active little one. O gave me James's picture a while back and i use it as my wallpaper=D

Just a few hours ago, i was surprised to see O online as he told before 2 days ago that he would be busy playing host to his guests.

He opened his webcam and there he is... with Baby James! =D I was really happy to see the 2 of them together... James on O's lap, playing with his keys and the lucky charm I gave O. James kept putting the keys along with the keychain into his mouth and O did not try to stop him...

When O directed James's attention to the webcam, James looked into it for a while, with a dazzled look on his face. and then return to munching the keys away=D I guess he don't really know what a webcam is for huh? =D

I was really touched that O took the effort to go online and showed me the little darling.. It was really a heartwarming sight.... James sitting comfortably on O's stomach, O adjusting his body in a rather awkward position to accommodate the baby's weight.

O's facial expression... it's as though James is his son.

I wish i could hold James... though he can't be compared to my Rimus (in terms of how much affection i have for him>.<)

There'll be a day when the 3 of us could see one another:) There's got to be a way=D

To Santa: If you happen to read this... please... i wish for a chance to see Baby James and Oliver.. so...maybe an air ticket to France for 2 weeks +parental consent???? I just love Christmas:) It gives people so much hope

Baby James=D
Also, many thoughts were brought up by recently from a conversation with a close friend.

Topic is about L.O.V.E

Actually i am in no position to give advice or anything... i just hope my friends could be loved and cared for, by a special someone who's true to them.

I am so sick and sadden by the facts that some of my close friends were being cheated of their feelings by heartless fellows out there.

I know for sure my friends deserved better... it is just so very unfortunate that they got hurt in the process... and i understand that the emotional scar is here to stay...

But again, life still has to go on and hope continues to cling on.... at some point if life there's bound to be setbacks...

Don't cry because it's over... smile because there's people out there who cares=D

For me, I want to treasure every moment i have with my loved ones... Rimus etc because these are the little things in life that makes me happy... makes me realised there is something in life to live for.

And happy things won't last..

Rimus will eventually grow up and memories of me will fade with every new experiences he gained in the process of maturing...

O will eventually settle down with his destined one....

Friends will leave you one by one....

Hopefully by then I will be able to realise some of my dreams...

living in the countryside... yeah! Looking forward to a much awaited Christmas=D

Enchanted

2007-11-22T07:02:00.000-08:00

I just love the movie "Enchanted" so much! It gives people so much hopes, it's a showcase of my imagination, and what makes it so different from the other fairytale is that it brings reality into the scene.

Yes... boring... stiffening.... our everyday REALITY.

There's a fairytale in each of us.. it's up to you to believe it:D

And i really do... there'll be a happily-ever-after, though may require lots of work.. but we can still make it happen... love is about 2 people working hard together on the relationship... accepting each other's flaws... never forgetting what makes them fall in love in the first place:D

Love is power!

There's a prince out there for all girls! (oops only nice girls) He could just be out there... got lost... and is too proud to ask for direction:p

Mine is definitely too proud. HAHA

I'm very happy today because I watched this wonderful movie with my 2 best friends:D

Also... i've a liking for full feminine looking dresses>.<

Can't wait to tell O about this! hee hee goodnight ^-*

~Love hits u when u least expected it... and send you on a rollercoaster ride... when it's over you just have to get off.~ by Miss Linda

In the X'mas mood...

2007-11-20T04:58:00.000-08:00

Went to Orchard with Bang Zhu yesterday to unwind... visited Far East, Cineleisure, Ngee Ann City... haha in the end i spent all my money on 2 hairbands and food.

Bang Zhu bought a pair of shoes a cute tee shirt. Super happy...

Of cos as usual we splurged on neoprints again! But this time, our decorating time was cut short.. we only have like about 2 minutes to decorate 4 pictures!!!! so in the end 2 pictures was wasted :(

On our way home, Bang Zhu finally get to see the lights on the crowded walkway...

I know it's blurred... my hand is shaky ma..

Beautiful lightings that alternate between dim and bright.. sounds romantic but i think they wana save light energy ba... sigh sorry if i burst your bubbles...

Beautiful X'mas tree ruined by my poor photography skills... but then again it's a phone cam ma.. heeeeee

Hee hee Me as the mannequin :D

End of story... for now...

I wanna watch Enchanted, Stardust and HERO... but no $$$$

sigh..

btw wahaha very happy yesterday... cos O called... to give me a surprise.. looks like he is having problems of his own... tried to help but the adult don't reveal much... hmm... nvm... looking forward to see him soon in France.. haha if could afford.

more $$$ please!

WAIT FOR ME!!!!

Pizza Hut Birthday Celebration

2007-11-17T23:49:00.000-08:00

Yesterday... me Qi Yu and Agnes threw a mini party for Ms Ashidah at Pizza Hut... ya it's the same place i complained about =D

This time round the food came on faster... within one minute after ordering we got our drinks..

And then 5 minutes later our soups arrived... chicken broth... NICE!

After which Qi Yu's Calamari Salad is here... Qi Yu being a generous kind soul gave away her Calamari rings which Ash and I digged into.

Very crispy and the mayonaise was great... Qiyu finished it before the pizza... timing was perfect.

And then came Ash's pasta and my beef lasagne...

Ash said the pasta was good... for me the lagsane was okay... i only like the beef and the cheese not so for the pasta inside.. but if you're really hungry you can finished it off.. which i didn't becos i'm a picky eater..

And finally our pizza tadaaaaaaaaa........

Deluxe Cheese Crispy thin... yum yum

Wanted to order either an ice cream or a cheesecake but then realised that we still have the birthday cake.

After we're done with the pizza i ordered the cake to be served.

And wow... the pizza hut crews were so nice... about 5 of them line up in a straight line with one of them holding the cake and they sang a birthday song for Ashidah!!! Only disappointing thing was that we forgot to video tape it! sigh

Here's the cake!
Happy Ashidah

Beautiful cake

Happy Girls!

oops

2007-11-14T08:00:00.000-08:00

Perhaps I spoke too soon yesterday...

Today was a grueling day... I was so tired I almost collapsed.

Thank you O for calling and making sure I was fine...

Life, please surprise me with a thing or 2....

surprises in life

2007-11-13T07:13:00.000-08:00

I'm having this tinkling feeling in me... and i'm smiling more often than ever... happy thoughts filled my head... many people to talk to these days... music to my ears.... a sudden surge of confidence... feeling a little lucky and looking forward to many things..

Could it be...

My life changing for the better???

:D

I can't think of one (title)

2007-11-11T05:58:00.000-08:00

This week I've been rather down... I can't seemed to bring out the usual enthusiasm and liveliness in me..

mmmm.... hope it past by soon

O seems to have a new job.... so I don't get to see him online as much... only once last night which lasted only 5 minutes. Sigh... perhaps this is making me feel so lifeless..

It's just like an addiction.

Happy dreams' been entering my head these days... i dreamed of the children at my centre, van persie, me being very happy in my dreamworld... but I dunno why... I've never dreamed of O... my best friend, soul mate, big brother.

Also, I've realised that I'm being more or less a coward these days since i entered poly. Am I a changed person??? What happened to the Linda who used to be confident enough to act according to what she thought she should and the Linda who's not afraid of challenges? I even thought of skipping NAPFA (which is tmr) a couple of weeks ago~!!!

What can I say??? Linda, you're WEAK WEAK WEAK! Wake up now!

OK... feeling better now... i promised myself to me more daring from today on.

Went online to search for pictures of cute babies, especially those with blue eyes >.< I'm really into eyes now cos i think children's eyes are beautiful... it's like their eyes could talk.. so cute... hee hee^^ I also find children with brown eyes to be innocent, adorable... but none could compete with my Rimus!!! =D here's a few I really wanna be a child again... at least no troubles when it comes to matters of the heart.

My fascination with neoprints=D

2007-11-06T06:49:00.000-08:00

Let the pictures do the talking today:D
lalalalalalalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

ARSENAL 2 Man Utd 2

Was screaming my lungs off when Arsenal equalised on 2 occasions.

Lots of drama on the pitch... after yesterday's match I was totally convinced why MANYOO was the team to hate.

1) Anderson's drama mama Oscar winning performance... though not totally convincing he have the man in yellow convinced not to give him a yellow card.

2) Anderson's (again?!) headbutt... in which our Flamini being the wiser one by not retaliating. Again the man in yellow was blind. Wow this time Mr Anderson escaped an early shower!

3) Ronaldo's diving attempts. (enough said)

4) Vidic's and van de sar's attempt to scoop out the goal after it had went in about half the width of the net. They thought everyone around was blind.... well the man in yellow was last night.

5) Rooney's first goal which gave MANYOO the lead was resulted from a foul dismissed by the man in yellow.

Many more to add on but I'm in a happy mood so i'll stop here:D

Cesc's super goal have me shaking even till now.... I'm so glad I'm a gooner (since 1998)!!! yeah!!!!=D
You did it again Cesc!!!!!!

Arsenal is seriously missing Van Persie :(

Being sick is not bad at all, not bad at all=D

2007-11-02T06:35:00.000-07:00

I was sick since last tue... terrible cold that's giving me a headache, chest irritation, running nose and a sickening cough.

Missed school on Thursday, had a terrible time in school today because of my horrible cough and headache which made my head feels heavy.

But since Tuesday when i was sick, O has been with me and even gave me a homemade recipe for fast cold relief.

O's homemade recipe for super fast cold relief:

*Add alcohol,honey, citrus juice into a bowl of boiling water.

*Put a towel over your head and breathe in the vapour deeply, till the mixture cooled down.

*Drink the mixture after it has cooled down.

I don't know how effective it is as I'm allergic to alcohol so I didn't try.

He also mentioned about drinking a glass of warm milk before bed.

I really like all that attention from him hee hee

i really hope his interview go successfully...

We've a promise to celebrate our birthdays together next year... hope it come true! What a coincidence that we are both born in the month of August! Perfect siblings birthday party=D

This year I'm wishing for the impossible... that I would be able to spend lots of time with the 2 boys in my life... okok 3... cannot forget Ryan!!! haha I still love Ryan! It's just that I love his brother a little bit more XP

Isn't he a sweetie?

Arsenal Vs. Man U tmr... feeling extremely excited about it! Too bad van persie isn't playing :'(

Watch out Man U... have a taste of what it's like to be beaten by the best team in the world.
Cesc will bring you down!!!

Rimus

2007-10-31T06:13:00.000-07:00

Today, my project group and I went to my childcare centre as we'll be implementing our final year project there.

We were in the centre for about half an hour and I was secretly waiting for the toddlers to come back from their outdoor walk.

About 15 minutes after we reached the centre the toddlers were back. My eyes were scanning for Rimus and he was the last to arrived. I scurried through the sea of toddlers and lowered myself till i could see him properly.

He flashed his megawatt smile and I asked him if he still remember me. He talked in his own baby language but I could understand it....

He did!!!!! I love you Rimus! =D

I gave him a tender hug and placed my cheek next to his and I'm so happy I could feel the same softness feeling again!:D

I helped him with his shoes and then when he was putting his shoes into the shelf I gave him a hug again and pressed my cheek against his... somehow i'm addicted to the feeling

He circled his arms and legs around my torso and refused to let go:) hee hee

I miss u Rimus! I really do...

I wish my little brother or future son will be just like you... :)

The 6 of us (group members) had our lunch at Long John Silver and made lots of small chats... mostly which involves humiliating one another etc etc... It was quite fun:)

Long day out today... been out since 10.15 am (visit to childcare) and finally home at about 7pm.

And i'm feeling terrible because of the cold i caught yesterday....

Feeling better now cos chatting with O. :)hee hee

Looking forward to happier days ahead!

2007-10-30T06:48:00.000-07:00

I've learn to deal with unhappy incidents and my monotonous school life by preoccupying myself with the things i like to do..

Sounds easy and satisfying at first, but it also leads to greater and unreasonable demands and lack of motivation to work hard for what i was suppose to be doing as i was drawing myself further and further from my supposedly ultimate goal which was to survive the trying months before graduation which seems like a good 3 years away. (3 months actually)

I'm really happy to know O and I love what I am when I'm with him. He's my source of happiness and equal sadness at times besides my closest friends and family. Someone who made me feel God indeed did send each of us an angel to take care of us in times of needs.

Perhaps it's hard for others to understand, when we're 2 totally different people with different principles in life, a rather big gap in age, different nationalities, religions and so on... but we're human beings after all... I believe if we can all see that the possibility of world peace wouldn't seem so far-fetched after all.

I don't deny the fact that I'm putting myself at a risk by choosing to go with my heart most of the time. At least i feel immediate gratification whenever I needed it. Even if it hurts at times as I know very well that it can never go beyond what I wanted it to be, I'm pretty satisfied already. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger... and I'm willing to put that to a test.

Because before I met him I never knew what it was like to look at someone and smile for no reason. And his smile in return makes it all worthwhile... I'll remember my first TL at 19, my best birthday present ever...

I would have to keep reminding myself that I don't own my angel, he was sent to me to make me realise that all is not lost, there's someone out there who you can trust and who deserved equal chance to find his own happiness.

But for now I can't... so i'll keep trying and trying... until life surprises me with other greater things..

**++In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.++**

Went out with 4/5 of the Wu Gong Zhu Bang today...

We decided to shop at Bugis, where we took our neoprints and the theme was 'the 4 seasons'. It was beautifully taken as usual, but i prefer the machines at J entertainment... cheaper and better quality.. ironic isn't it

It was an awfully hot day and roaming through bugis streets felt like trekking through a hot, humid forest with many interesting finds. I bought 2 casual tops and a pair of golden shoes which gave me terrible blisters after I worn it upon buying. The pain was so terrible that I took it off at jurong east and worn back my loyal 3 inch high sandals.

Jiamin also splurge on a new beautiful bag and a new tee shirt while Mingmay and Charis didn't see anything that really caught their eyes.

One interesting thing was that we kept losing each other when we're paired up... be it may and charis, me and jiamin or jiamin and charis, me and may... and everytime we would be looking for one another in the midst of shopping.

We also talked a lot about our secondary school teachers in the MRT and to our surprise we seemed to have the same opinions about the teachers! TTL, JH, MGO, ML, MK.... HAHA are they obvious?

Jiamin and I came up with a great idea after graduation which was to work together and travel the globe! i was really happy cos Jiamin is one of my closest friend and it would be great if we could work together as ever since we graduated from sec school we could only see each other at most once a week.

To conclude it all.. I've a great day! Being with you guys really cheered me up lots!

Pictures of the day

Curse of Freaky Friday

2007-10-26T06:25:00.000-07:00

I've come to learn that Friday is my least favourite day of the week.

Actually i feel it's Monday (when school reopens) but then Friday is the day that reminds me of how unlucky I am.

Let's start with TODAY...

I woke up 3 hours before lecture commenced this morning (one hour for traveling, 2 hours for getting ready). Just my typical morning, no rush, no haste.

Thought i have sufficient time but then time seemed to fly by this morning and I was still getting ready at about 9.50am.... sigh... got to rush

Then it's the 'wrong timing' scenario again.... waiting for the maximum 50 seconds for the green man to appear at the traffic conjunction, seeing the mrt fly by when i got up from the escalator, watching the bus zoomed past me when i got to the bus stop.

And when my bus finally came, it was extremely crowded.... not even peak hours... it was 9.25am. My body was jerking from side to side and i was having difficulties balancing as i was standing directly above the path where there's a mini slope. So my left foot was at a lower ground. I can't move cos the bus was packed.

When the bus reached SIM, i was pushed from the back till i was pressed along the side of the seats in an awkward manner and i managed to find and empty seat but ended up 'falling' on the seat as i tripped myself.

Finally, as i reached my block and walk towards the lift area, the first lift was stuck at first level as the construction workers were using it to transport their tiles. Which means that the second lift could not come down... i waited for the construction workers to lift each boxes of tiles into the lift and counted each boxes in my mind.

About 7 minutes later, I finally got into the second lift.

I waited outside the classroom and sat on the shelves, chatting away with my friends. Then a student came up to me and whispered awkwardly, gesturing me about something. I have no idea what he was talking about until i realised my dress was so long that it covered half of the shelves and his shoes were in them.

I was embarrassed when i finally realised that and i even accidentally fell sideway into the gaps between the 2 shelves. Ugly pose. sigh

My class were dismissed 35 minutes late so my clique decided to dine at the pizza hut restaurant at Bukit Timah Plaze instead of Jurong Entertainment. Agnes couldn't joined us cos she got a project discussion after class :'(

We waited for about 10 minutes before we were ushered into the restaurant and I love the atmosphere! Our seats were great and we were happily chit chatting away and proceeded to placing our order.

We decided on a crispy thin deluxe cheese pizza (reg), double twin pleasure cheese cakes for me, chocolate ice cream on brownie for Ashidah and a brownie for Qiyu.

We talked about all kind of stuffs in school and how we're all stressed out over the final year project... (i don't even want to go there)

We continued chatting for about 30 minutes until We realised something was amiss. We enquired one of the waitress and she said our order is coming soon. The students opposite us who arrived later than us were already woofing down their meals but our pizza was yet to be served. We laughed it off that maybe theirs was the student set so it was faster.

But then another 10 minutes passed by and we don't think it's funny anymore. 4o minutes has passed by and still no food??? We've got a lecture to attend in an hour's time. We stop another waitress and she asked us what we ordered. She then asked if we would like to have the desserts first.

..... .. ..... ......

Ok, i'm starving... never mind.

My cheese cakes was served.

Followed by Ashidah's ice cream brownie.

Another 10 minutes went by... still no pizza.

And yes...

Where's Qiyu's brownie???

Not here yet.

I stood up from my seat and went to the counter. I saw the girl who took our order and asked her if our pizza is ready cos 50 minutes has went by and there isn't a crowd. Before i could finished my sentence she interrupted me and told me the kitchen crews are making my pizza now. I thanked her and went back to my seat.

I was angry honestly cos I felt really unlucky since the morning. And now that even when I'm chilling out the bad luck virus has to attack me.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An hour later our pizza finally arrived.

And guess what....

It wasn't the crispy thin pizza that we ordered....

I wanted to tell the waitress but come to think of it... i wouldn't want to wait for another hour for my order. So we settled on this.

It tasted great cos we were starving.

And Qiyu's brownie hasn't found it's way to our table yet.

After Qiyu finished her share of pizza she asked one of the crew about her brownie.

5 minutes later it was finally here.

The waitress apologized to us cos the waitress who took our order earlier on is a new staff and she has a miscommunication with the other crews.

I could only say...

Poor us.

I hate Friday..

Well most of the time

Happy days! ^^

2007-10-23T05:41:00.000-07:00

Kimi Raikonnen is world champion!!!!! Finally he has it all right!!!! I'm so happy that the current best driver in F1 won and better still, as a result of team work:D Thanks MASSA!!!

Haha i'm even happier today during lecture because of the seat I had taken...

Whahahahahaha F1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's take a closer look..

Happy Happy Happy!!!!

After school at about one we(me, qiyu, ashidah) made our way to Ashidah's house for Hari Raya celebration. I was kinda excited about it cos Ashidah's mother is a good cook and Ashidah is very hospitable to her guests! So I want to make an effort to visit her every hari raya! haha self-service. Agnes couldn't make it on time and would be joining us much later.

Luckily for us the 154 double decker bus was quite empty and we could choose our favourite seats which was the ones directly above the driver's!=D Haha becos we could get a better view of our surroundings and it felt like we're navigating the bus LOL

We passed by lots of high-priced apartments and these houses are so pretty!!!! Just like the ones i want to live in out in the countryside! Too bad, the only view they could get would be the busy road opposite those houses. My eyes were swimming from house to house until 20 minutes later (yes, there was that much pretty houses!) i collapsed on the spot due to sheer tiredness.

By the time i woke up we're about to get off the bus.... i felt a little embarrassed cos i was the only one who dozed off and i must have looked bad becos my mouth was opened when i woke up :'(

Finally, at about 2.30pm we arrived at Ashidah's house... which was pleasant looking as usual.:D Ashidah served us her mother's wonderful homemade kuehs and i just helped myself... and couldn't stop till i reminded myself that the main course is yet to be served yet.haha i'm such a glutton..

The wonderful kuehs...

The main course! Mee Goreng and chicken wings!!!

After our scrumptious meals, we decided to take down some memories of today's happy events.

Through taking pictures!!!!

By trying out various poses and emotions...

Let's begin!!!

The decent looking, wholesome 4s...

Another good girls image... standing up

Girls gone bad

Friends 4ever!

The drama mamas

Singapore's next top models....

SNTM pt 2

Where are we looking???

Act cute ah!!!

My buddy Qiyu...

Oh ya... forgot to mention these cute looking mini glasses!!! and the glass bowl for washing our hands! Nice!=D

mmm.... nowadays been feelings rather vexed because i would have to think of what i would like to be in the future and began to take subtle steps towards it.... problem is i am still not sure!

Don't mind getting married early though >.<

Career to consider: Nutritionist, sales line (me as the boss), caregiver at the orphanage, doing business online, writer, journalist, magazine editor....

I want to excel in a type of sports!

Hopefully i would be daring enough to take up driving lessons before 25.

Sigh... I don't want to be an adult.... i want to be 19 forever! >.<

How about a job in the airport???? Heard that they would give 4 tickets to anyway around the world annually~

wow wow wow~

Think think think think consider consider consider consider dream dream dream dreamxx

Children:The best things that can happened to me~

A surprise birthday party...

2007-10-21T05:34:00.000-07:00

Retail therapy with Charis at IMM last Friday and it was so fun!!!! I got to unwind after 7 hours in school ending at 5.30pm..
I got my brother his birthday presents which includes an apricot cleanser, a tee-shirt and a pair of green pants.

Of cos i got my stuffs too! Charis and I spent quite some time at Watson (i just love IMM watson so much!) We ate at MOS before shopping out hearts out at 'Captivating' which is offering a 30% discount storewide and 50% off your second purchase.

Charis bought 2 very pretty tops and i bought a babydoll dress at half the original price of $59.90. But to my disappointment... it was only until i got home did i realise that the sewing job was not well done and i sort of regretted my splurge. But nvm... i was really happy!

Hope to meet up with Charis and hopefully all members of the Wu Gong Zhu Bang weekly for a fabulous night of shopping!!!!! =D

On Saturday (20th October) which was my brother's birthday, i also have in mind a special surprise for him=D
I smsed his best bud the previous night and told him to gather the other members of my brother's gang for a in house party.

Luckily for me he was quick to reply back and helped me to inform 5 other members of the Edward's gang.:D And so we plant a surprise on him on his birthday at 1pm where i pretended to got out with a friend and organized a secret meeting with his pals at the void deck.

When we proceeded to my house and my brother opened the door haha his face went blank when he saw his friends and without opening the door for us he rushed to his room to have a change of clothes.
And yes haha the rest of us were kept waiting for him until he changed into his super nice red Liverpool jersey... And a wild party followed... i hid in my room watching anime for 4 hours straight cos the gang seemed to be here to stay...
My brother even suggested they stay till nighttime but i don't think our neighbours are that tolerant...

Because they are a major source of NOISE POLLUTION.

What do you get when you invited a bunch of 16 year old boys to a party with lots of food for them?
Ans: Loud chats full of vulgarities, jeers, whistles, LOUD LAUGHTERS, sound energy produced that can lit probably a hundred (or more) light bulbs.

This is not only a surprise for my brother... i was surprised too! At how noisy boys can be...

But i was glad my brother's happy:D He even thanked me after the party:) Happy birthday Edward!!!!
Boys gone wild~
