My darling's aunt gotten their key for their new house. My darling and I were thinking about the colours for the walls. He also thinking of the design.

We went to buy primer last week and he went to lay out newspapers on the floor over the weekdays by himself. I had 3/4 on Friday and I went to his house after work. I left 15 mins earlier than the time expected as I was not feeling well, I even took taxi to his place =.=

I had to thank the taxi driver as he was having changing shift and wanted to head towards bedok. I think he knew that I was not feeling well and he decided to drive me to Clementi first.

After sleeping awhile at his place, we went to his new house to do the preparation for the next day. On Saturday & Sunday, we rode bicycle back and forth to the new house and do coating using primer.

It was simple romantic when I sat behind his bicycle. The traditional style when there was no advance technology.

31 December 2011

It's our 5th year Anniversary! My darling went to buy soba noodle and made delicious dinner for me. ^^ It's great to have him and I'm the lucky girl.

He always give me advices when I am unsure with the path that I should be heading, which decisions to make. Cook together, shopping in Ntuc, play games with our usual clique, shower our baby z.chi. All the simple life that we are living, it's already fulfilling. We will carry on our love.

With the ingredients, he made delicious food.

Our Delicious hot soba with egg.

Today is a public holiday, I went to his house and we decided to watch movie at Bugis. We managed to catch the movie on time with out popcorns and drink. Yummy!

The movie is nice. Sherlock Holmes is a funny and clever person as what the poster states, Nothing escape him.

After watching the movie, we went to have our lunch at Dohby Ghaut's chicken rice and soyabean milk. We were so filled up! We walked around and bought my in-out trays from daiso.

Time passed fast and we went back home. Hope new year will be better for us. ^^

Cosy weekends

On Saturday, my darling and I met up with his primary school friends and poly friends. We went to his primary school friend's house at Commonwealth and played card games and watched a touching Japanese's dog story.

Before the movie ends, both of us went to the nearby coffeeshop and had dinner poly friends. We made new friends. After eating, we went to Rochester Starbucks and had our drinks and we played monopoly cards. Eww. I lost. haha.. Chit-chat till everyone needs to go off. As I left my umbrella in his friend's house, we went back and joined the group. After eating, we had decided to go my boyfriend's house and played some achocol game. It was fun but after a few turns, I decided to stop and had a terrible time in the toilet. I was not drunk but feel heavy in my head so I decided to take a nap.

Next day, both of us stayed at home and slack! The weather was so nice. We played Monopoly from Iphone.

Monday was a boxing day! Our usual clique came to my boyfriend's house and we played Wii Monopoly. My darling and I won the game. ^^ After playing 2-3 rounds, we went to Vivo and had our Japanese dinner. We went up to Ferry and looked around the books that they were selling. We also took pictures along the path that heading to the Sentosa. We were almost there.

In my 2011

Every thing went quite smoothly for this year, 2011.

I graduated in May. Started my first office work in February as a Recruitment Consultant and got my chance to work as HR Assistant in a big Organization.

Lesser quarrel with my sisters as we are getting mature, especially my younger sister. She is still waiting for her school to start. She is a full-time Childcare teacher right now. Hope that her school will really start in February 2012 as it has been postpone since August 2011?

My dad and mum have aged but they still look lovely. 13 December 2011 will be their 23rd Anniversary. My dad wanted to treat her for dinner after their work. My mum permed her hair and asked my dad if she looked pretty. ^^

My sister had traveled to China and she is in Nepal. She has quit her full-time job and took up a part-time job as she has her own goal to reach out.

My darling and usual clique had went to Japan in this year, June - July 2011. Great experience, awesome people, weather! :) Me and darling are still very lovely. 20 more days and it will be our 5th year anniversary.

Hope next year will be better for all of us.

First invitation card

Yesterday, my darling went out with his primary school friend and I went to meet up with my Winnie, Sheryl and Zhizhang at Ion and made our way up to the hotel.

I received first wedding invitation card from my colleague, Brandon. Thanked to him because it gave me opportunity to meet up with my colleagues again. While celebrating his wedding, it was also my farewell dinner with my colleagues too. Haha..

On my way there, I was not feeling well and had fever during the dinner. All my colleagues were so nice. They went to get panadol for me. I got better after popping the pills. Laughter, cheers and jokes all over the table. Wish the all the best. :)

Before our dessert had arrive, 4 of us left to catch our last few transport. I will miss them a lot, hope that we are able to meet up soon again.

My last day in SN

For the past few days, I had been missing my colleagues although we still met up in office, for lunch, dinner. I knew that I would miss the experience that we had. The fun, the stress, the unhappy stuffs, the happy stuffs were all shared together.

The things that I learned and the opportunities that he gave me. Thanks to my senior, Irvin.

My buddy Ben was busy with his Changi order which required him to work overnight, he joined us for my farewell dinner before returning back to office at around 9pm. I really appreciated that. Yesterday, Ben didn't come to work as he had already applied leave for his event in JB but he was sweet enough to left me a message on my table before he left office on the previous night. Thank you, buddy for helping me with my stuffs when I was away from Office and thanked you for lending your ears.

In this picture, Front: Zhizhang, Agnes; Back: Ben, Winnie and myself.

My cheeky ladies, Sheryl, Winnie, Vivian and Agnes who always share jokes with me. Give me advises, working on my orders. Toilet mates.. I miss them a lot.

I didn't get to take picture with the rest because I was rushing my time to go to my final client serving with Irvin.

Thank you to all because I had fun working in Search Network. :)

Next Monday, I will be starting my new journey in the new place. Hope everything will be fine.

My Long weekends

I took two days leave - Friday and Tuesday, as Monday is a public holiday (Today!)

I made sushi on Saturday's night and it was a failure because I had no idea how to wrap the rice and ingredients with the seaweed. I had been eating those ugly pieces and by the time I had my dish, I was already full. -.-

Today is a public holiday. I decided to stay at home to help out with my sister in doing some research on animals while my darling stayed at home to study his maths. Interestingly fun facts that I found out today. Goat's pupil is rectangle instead of round. Horse can't breathe through mouth and duck's feet won't feel cold even if they swim in icy water because they have no nerves and blood vessels in their feet.

Tomorrow is my last off day. I plan to go shopping alone before I meet up with my sweeties Cuiting and Carmen. It has been months I see them. I miss them so much. ^^

I always admire left hander because they are able to draw beautifully and feel amazing when they are able to write nice handwriting with left hand. My left hand writes like a preschooler. I am going to train my left hand.

I have been wondering if someone ask you to return back to work on your off-day for help out, will you agree? Hmm.. I have been thinking whether this is a rely, want or a need?

I left with approximately 14 working days with Company. I will be taking 2 days out of my 4.5 annually leave. The rest of the 2.5 days, I would like to spend time with my true friends in the company.

Time can really tell who the person is. I can tell who made use of me, who is selfish and who really truthful to me.

Feeling low and thought that when the day was coming to the end would make me feel better but it didn't. I felt disappointed.

The plan was told the day before but because of one's decision, one's excitement, changed everything. I had to bring my disappointment home, feeling hurt.

My Pawn

My pawn had been moving defensively. Today I made my pawn did a incredible or I should say a surprise move.

I submitted my very first letter. I would be moving forward to another place and advance myself and doing what I was looking for. As the days were drawing near to the day I submitted my letter which was today, I realized that I have a lot of good friends in my company. Most of my colleagues still consider new. Most of them entered the company in August. Although it was just a few months, I had their empathy, their supports and encouragement. I had their trusts (via versa). Now I left with one regret which is them.

I left with a month, I am going to miss them load. Definitely, we will still keep in touch.

I created a lot of courage to give him the letter by myself. I decided to give him by myself instead of leaving the letter on his table because I respected him. Thank you for his time to train me up and became his assistant but I'm sorry I decided to leave.

Thank you to the person who created weekends. I needed them so much. Finally, I had a good rest, my battery is almost 100% charged.

Really hope that my efforts will pay off in results!

Formula one is in Singapore. Watched their practice as well as their qualifying. Hoping Ferrari could win the pole. ^^ letting my boyish personality to react when I watched formula one and manchester utd's match with my boy. I started to understand why guys would shout goals, or 'ohh' when car breakdown.

For my Sunday, Suichang and Alex came to my boy's house and four of us played civilization. I lost!!

We went to watch Johnny English at Jurong point. It was our first time taking cab to the destination. We rushed to collect tickets and finished our set meals at McDonald within 15 mins! Rushed to watch the movie. Laughters were everywhere. The usual clique enjoyed watching it. So glad to know them :)

Posted by iPhone, therefore, I have difficulty posting up pictures.

Nice weekends

After competitive weekdays, finally it came to weekends when we could let down our hair. Our usual clique gathered in my darling's house. Both my darling and Sew Eng played civilization while waiting for Sui chang and Ralph's arrival.

The guys played mahjong before we went for our sashimi buffet at The Cathay. The queue the was long but we didn't wait for long.

Raw food, raw food every where. Haha! It had been a hard time for the guys. Raw cuttlefish, tuna and another raw fish were not my favorite. I only know how to eat salmon. Sigh, but after eating a lot of raw food, both my boyfriend and I felt that worms were crawling in our heads. (needed hotspring to kill them!)

The atmosphere was kind of good.

After eating, we went to paradise and they played LAN (TD) ^^ I guessed that had a awesome game! They ended game at 11pm plus and all ran for last bus.

Today (Sunday), my darling taught me how to play civilization and we played a match but I'm really bad in that! Haha.. I need more time to train up my skills then next time I can play with the big guys!

At 6pm plus, we went out to his cousin's house as it's their daughter's first month. :)

August Babies

As we were born in August (fall on the same month as our nation), we were entitled to visit Zoo, Night Safari and Bird Park for free in the month of August!

My boy, Sew eng and myself went to Zoo yesterday. As Suichang had something on, he was unable to join us or else, he would be also another one who is able to get entry free.

We went to Choa Chu Kang and takeaway Pizza and drinks for our trip. We ate pizzas before we officially start our trip in Zoo.

Bring out a little excitement as it would be our first time, my boy and myself visit Singapore's Zoo together. I love Japan but comparing Osaka's zoo and Singapore's zoo, I really had to say Singapore's Zoo will be better. Probably, it because over here animals are not being caged in small area. They were given more freedom compared to Osaka.

We visited animals' shows and was very impressed with the hilarious MC (SPLASH).

They are so many different kinds of animals. They were given so many names. They have different kind of Pigs with different names but I just named them as Pigs.

Rain started to pour and we were hiding under shelters. We ate KFC as our dinner and went for our night Safari since the time is unable for me to go BBQ that my company had held. It was our first time going to Night Safari. Show is fabulous and really interact with audiences.

Do you want to see if you are an Orang Utan?

Do the checklist. Do you have the same favorite food as Orang Utan? haha!

We planned to go for another trip again! We enjoyed ourselves yesterday in Zoo.

Getting busier!

I had been running errands for company almost everyday. I could run back and forth to the same place twice or thrice a day. Lesser time for my own sales, hope that they would understand.

I just had my hair cut yesterday and really looked like jelly-fish. Some of my friends said my hair looked nice and my boy said I looked 'toot' which I seriously agree with him. *laughs*

I still miss those days in Japan. Especially when we were heading towards Mt. Fuji. It was awesome experience. I managed to feel the clouds which I thought I would never have a chance. The temperature, the air, the scene are so beautiful. I was glad that our usual clique had fun together.

Although we shared the same sky, the culture was so different.

Wish that we will get another trip again!

Grown up, ladies

Finally we could meet up for dinner on last Friday. Ever since we left our school, we had been working and met once in every 2 weeks till we had our graduation, we seldom meet up.

Ting and Carmen were really my best buddies in poly. We went up and downs together especially when we were having our final year projects. No matter what had happened, we still hold tightly for each other.

We met at Bugis together with my boy, Sui Chang and Alex. We had our Dinner at V8 Cafe Pte Ltd. Questions were all over the table, trying to catch up with their life pace. Carmen worked as a Accountant (Payable), Ting worked as Accountant (Receivable) in Terrence's parents' company and I'm the Recruitment Consultant. Glad to hear that Carmen and his Mark, Ting and Terrence are still holding onto each other. Probably we could hear some good news from Ting and Terrence after 2-3 years later. ^^

Saturday, I fell overslept and trained to my boy's house. He registered himself for Singtel formula 1 competition. We met Suichang and Alex at Dohby Ghaut. Coincidentally, I met my poly friend and secondary friend who worked for the Singtel event. My boy managed to place himself in the Top 40 for the competition. He received a call at 1.00am plus from them and asked him to continue his race at Dohby Ghaut at 2am. Unfortunately, he had to turn down the offer since the timing is quite unreasonable.

Sunday: I went for a hair cut and really disappointed. I will never have my hair cut in Snip Avenue again, NEVER AGAIN! :(

Tokyo with Usual Clique

Changi Airport, 23 June 2011

Jacynda accompanied me by taking Bus 27 to Changi Airport, Terminal 1. Thanked for her companion. Suichang reached there before us. Darling and Horng Bor were after me.

With our excitement, we checked in and took pictures. Our flight was AirAsia, we took to Kuala Lumpur and had a interchange to Haneda Airport. We met Jacky at Haneda Airport as he flew from Australia.

Haneda Airport, 24 June 2011

Japan was one hour after Singapore hours. I had flu after alighting the plane, I guessed because of the change of temperature. I preferred JAPAN's weather! The weather at night was around 22 degree Celsius.

5 of us went to tour around the airport, had our dinner at one of the restaurants.

The place was much more cooler than Singapore. Wind blew every second. 5 of us stayed a night at the Airport. Was homeless but nice place to stay.

The very next day, we were able to get the 2 days pass for the TOEI train. We board train to New City Hotel and left our belongs with them. We supposed to check in at 3pm but we reached there early.

Our plans started on the day. We went to Tokyo famous Fish Market. Unfortunately, we were unable to see how they fish monger bid for fish. We walked around and saw some weird fruits like tiny watermelon. We went to one of the small restaurant and had our breakfast. My darling and I shared a set. Their sashimi were so FRESH!! The only thing that I wouldn't want to eat was the fish eggs. I saw the embryo in the eggs.

After visiting Fish Market, we walked around Ginza. The weather was sunny. Red nose lady was suffering throughout the day. Tissue and toilet papers occupied most of the space in my bag. Jacky was caught in flu too! Thank you, our usual clique for looking after one another.

Shrine was the next place before we returned back to hotel. We bought some puffs and took a lot of photos. Most of it were taken by Horng bor. We ate their ice-kacang and bread before taking train back to hotel.

We took off our shoes immediately once we checked into our rooms. Showered and fell asleep before we gathered again. During the evening, we went to Tokyo Tower. Walked around the shops, played games and took pictures! We were managed to video the lighting up of the Tokyo Tower. Beautiful!

We walked up to Tokyo Sky View and had our dinner. Food were expensive but awesome. We went up to see the view of Tokyo. We took many pictures! Darling and Suichang did planking everywhere they could. haha! Horng Bor enjoyed taking pictures and with his professional skills, many pictures were taken beautifully by him.

After Tokyo Sky View, we walked back to the train station and trained back to our hotel. Day ended sweetly for our Day 1 in Tokyo. In Japan, the sky will turn bright at 4am. Many Japanese wake up early for their work.

My boyfriend had made video for Day 1 & Day 2 & Day 3

I will update again! Sorry as I'm getting busier for work nowadays. I have to run errands for interviews, candidates' medical check up and signing agreements etc.

Graduation

I wanted to thank my family, my boy and our close friends who supported me throughout my poly life. I am not ashamed that I was graduated in Republic Polytechnic because I felt I belonged here. Somehow, trust was built within the class where we would leave our expensive laptops in class with some people who we weren't close with and went out for lunch.

If you asked me to study in lecture hall, I might not do well. I rather finding answer on my own than depending people to spoon food me. Of course, I might be wrong while finding my answer, my facilitators and friends would always be there to pull me back to shore.

Thank you to my daddy, mummy and xiaomei for attending to my graduation ceremony. Thank you for my darling who wanted to attend to my ceremony but couldn't because he had to finish his exam paper.

Regretted that I couldn't stay after my ceremony for photo-taking because my younger sister had to rush back for work and WAS GIVEN UNPAID LEAVE while she had to work for half-day.

I saw my favorite kids, Luke, Lynn, Janelle and Devon! :) Devon was so shy when she saw me but first one to call me. Luke and Janelle were happily climbing onto my legs and hugged me. Janelle likes me and my mei mei. She had been mentioning me in front of my sister when I was not around.

Anyway, I have exciting June waiting for us ^^

Amazing Race

We were celebrating Search Network's 3rd year anniversary. Our community actually spent the night organized the activities for us. Such as Amazing Race, surprised us that our Chalet would be at Sentosa and games at night.

The amazing race was fun because we got to travel around to break the clue and we always wanted to fight against another team. Initially our group was leading but at the forth point, we were delayed by traveling by bus and ended up we became last.

In my room, 6 ladies slept on one big queen size bed! See how lovely we were. Despite feeling squeeze, we felt that it actually brought us together better. They saw my naked face! We took turned to use the wash room and actually I found out that each of them had a habit. June liked to say "Sorry, Sorry" and afraid of dark. Dawn liked to ask questions, Sheryl liked to compliment herself, Carol had determination, although she was not feeling well, Vivian didn't know how to do star jump and she doesn't like to sleep with lights on.

We did our short performance in front our bosses too. Extremely embarrassed!

My blog is still alive. I had been very busy during weekdays. By right I had to wake up at 6.30am every morning to have myself showered but now I always wake up around like 6.50am.

Every day, I have to rush out of my house because I spent too much time selecting my outfit. I always tried to leave home at 7.35pm - the latest. I reached office at 8.15am - 8.20am to get myself settle down and start work.

I always feel very happy when I had a flow in my mails. Please send me your resume: joann@searchnetwork.com.sg ^^ Everyday I will give a call to the candidates when they were suppose to go for interview. Although our company didn't earn commission from the candidates, I felt very happy that they were being selected.

Every day is the same but the time passes very fast. I made new friends in my company and all of them were nice. The good news was that I was being converted from the company - officially their employee, their colleagues.

By the time I reached home, I would have my dinner, watched forensic which Channel U was screening at 10pm. From the day that we had each other numbers, we had been talking on phone (Excluding the period he went to Disney, Orlando for attachment).

It was nice to have him because he was very understanding. :)

It has been a while

I'm so sorry that I had been neglecting my blog since I started work. My first week was very hectic. I tried to learn everything within that week and I had exam on the second week already. The people there were nice. They helped me out and we always joked around.

Some went off, some were welcome on board. Peiru, my poly mate joined the company one week ago. It was nice to have someone we knew in the company. We always had our lunch together with other colleagues.

Nevertheless, let me use this opportunity to do some advertisement.

Hey you.

My younger sister fell sick and was unable to work today. Take care people, Diarrhea is the trend now. Don't follow this trend, you will feel terrible.

Are you a boot-licker or simply a backstabber? You were so different when you were in front in front of her and behind her. If you planned to leave, why bother? No need to drag down other people because you wanted to look so nice in front of her.

Whatever things that you were trying to do, we had already see through it. The only happy reason for leaving was you.

Don't bully them anymore.

Today is my forth day of work. The three days I was fine, however, today I made two of mistakes as there were a lot of hiccups. Although two mistakes that were related to me but one of it wasn't my fault. I should shallow it down. I would learn my lesson. I enjoyed to be busy. There were many things to send and handle documents and I had to make a lot of calls. I just want people to recognize my hard-work. Maybe they need time to find out. I start work at 8.30am but I would reach the office by 8.00am. Almost everyday, I was the first to reach! :D

Good-Bye, Children!

Yesterday was my last working day in BestCare Montessori. I missed the kids so much. Yesterday I helped my sister in designing the Music Poster for the music room and it looked nice.

After drawing, pasting and hanging up the poster, we had our time to play with the children. They were fun and adorable. They used to be quiet and now they speak a lot! This year, my first batch will be graduating. Hopefully they will call me back to help and I can take pictures with them.

I guessed I had made my decision in applying University- SIM-UOL in Degree in Management. I haven't apply yet but I guessed I would. Studying in UOL would be like swimming from Shore A to Shore B for three full years without coming out of the water. The level of stress and hard-work shouldn't go below the level. If I could get in, hopefully I could manage my studies.

All the best to my friends who are studying for prelims! :) Especially to My boy, SuiChang & HorngBor!

My Last Wednesday

I just received message from Louisa and I would be returning to BestCare for my last time. It was fun working with the kids, probably the only reason I felt like dozing off was when I fell sick.

See you, my children!

I'm still thinking of taking up Degree in Management. ARGH, I had not been sleeping well because there were a lot of worries. I was afraid that I couldn't study well for the modules. I even dreamed that I took POA final exam and I was struggling with the papers once I took it. I wasn't even able to answer one and I broke into tears.

One more week and I would start my work in Search Network. Remember to find me!

Which way to go?

I will be starting my work as a Recruitment Consultant on 28 February. I was kind of excited and worried. I had some friends who were very supportive and wanted me to find jobs for them. I hoped that I could do a great career transaction for them.

It is 2.52am right now and I can't sleep. I was thinking whether I should go for further studies this year. I was interested in Human Resource Management and if I could afford to get into university, I would.

There were many things running through my mind that why I couldn't sleep tonight. I needed to have a perfect plan. Financial Planning, Career Planning, Education Planning and etc...

Did I actually put in efforts in everything that I do? (T.T)

I have my major exam this week. One is down and two more to go. After that, I will become a free bird. I found a job in a position of Recruit Consultant from Search Network and after much consideration, I decided to accept and probably I can convert from Temporary to Permanent, depending on my performance during first 2 months. Please come to me if you want to find job, don't hesitate! Find my name: Joann Teo ^^

I will definitely won't forget those children in BestCare Montessori. I was very different from other teachers because their favorite time was when the kids were sleeping but that was my worst past time. They are my happy pills. I would have to find my another happy pills after I leave them. My last day of work is 23 February 2011.

My feelings to my children:

Dear children of BestCare Montessori,

Do you know that Teacher Mingen is leaving already? Some of the Kindergarten 2 know that I am leaving soon but do you know I'm leaving at the end of February? I will definitely miss all of you. I was happy that I had my chance to teach Last year's Kindergarten 2, this year's Kindergarten 2, Kindergarten 1, Nursery 2 and Nursery 1. I also enjoyed playing with playgroup and tried to teach them how to pronounce my name properly though Charmaine still called me Teacher Alice. At least she still ran to me and hug me, waited for me to hold her name despite other teachers called her. I was really happy to have those little moments with all of you.

Shower my love,
Teacher Mingen/Joann

Hoot Hoot

We went to Clarke Quay to meet his army friends at Hooter to have lunch. They were commenting that the girls' thighs were big. I looked around and it was true. Most of them were non Singaporean.

I ordered Pacific Dory Fillet, my darling had black Pepper set meal which would come with Soup of the day, Soft Drink, Ice-cream and Tea or Coffee. They looked great in presenting their food but when it came to taste, the food was tasteless. Although the set meal cost $10.00 excluding GST, I would rather pay more in other place.

After eating at the Hooters, we went to take bus to Mount Faber Safra. We played pool and bowling. My boy and I were in a team and Dano and Seeyong were in a team when we were playing pool. We won them 2 games in pool. I was a totally bad in playing Bowling. I had the lowest point among all in two games. When I was expecting it to strike, it would roll into the drain. I was wondering if the floor was unbalance. *Laughs*

Special Moment

Although my sister and I didn't follow the festival, I believed both of us enjoyed the celebration with the children on last Wednesday.

We prepared packets of crackers and sweets for each of the children, all credits should go to my sister because she put in a lot of efforts in packing them. As what I mentioned before, the reason of giving the children presents wasn't because we wanted them to like us. Both my sister won't give a children present for that reason or no reason.

This time, we decided to give them some gifts was because I'm leaving them at the end of February. As I worked only every Wednesday afternoon, it was impossible for me to give to those who were in the half day. My sister and I saw that the celebration on Wednesday was an opportunity.

Pampered the children? No, definitely not our idea. Being a teacher assistant, we assisted the teachers who were in need. When a small child is crying, a formal teacher won't carry him/her out of the class while she was having a class but a teacher assistant did that. Definitely sometimes a hug was a need. When we were trying to ease the cry from the child, it didn't mean that we were pampered. Those children were smart enough to see the different characters between the teachers.

Some children knew when to stop. Ever since my sister and I worked together, she had been observing me handling the class too. When we were at work, we won't bring our relationship in-which I thought was good. She said that I really didn't scold a children without a valid reason. Like when the class was noisy, I just told them to keep the volume down. Those children won't keep totally silent in this generation but when I was teaching, I needed them to be total silent. When someone was running around my class, I would definitely raised my voice to the maximum. Some of you were yet to hear that. *Laughs* I think your hair would stand.

What I meant was, to let them like you were simple.

Praise them when they did something good
Encourage them when they didn't do well but sometimes scolding was a helping tools.
Care them when they were upset.
Follow them to their imagines when they were telling you stories. Sometimes you really could help them building them too- they might agree or disagree to yours.

Pampered? Totally not my type. Please don't accuse us just because you felt that so.

We should be afraid when a silent bomb started ticking.

Thank you!

I went to salon and had my fringe cut. Usual Price was $3 but because of the festival, it increased by $2. I met my dad and Mingai at Heartland Mall for dinner. Mingai passed me a present that was given by Luke and Lynn and of course I must thank their parents too.

I was so happy when I received the present from Mingai. I was simply cheering because I wanted that photo for so long! It was taken on 2009 when it was a Kindergarten 2's graduation. Luke was in his Nursery 2 and Lynn was in playgroup.

I love it so much. I placed it on my table already! :D

Nevertheless, I did some memorial gift for them too. Hoped that they will motivate them in the future. It was quite difficult to let them understand the message that I wrote to them but hopefully, next time in the future when they happened to dig the stuffs and see them.

With love, Teacher Mingen (Joann)

Tomorrow I will be seeing them. At first I thought of giving them the present on the day I left but every time I see the present in my house, I will feel so sour and so wanting to see their happy faces when I passed them the gifts.

With love, Teacher Mingen (Joann)

No more.

We had our final presentation for our Final Year Project yesterday. Our presentation went on very smoothly and hopefully we could get good grades from our evaluators.

I was happy that my stress were almost gone. Final Year Project wasn't a important task to do in my mind anymore. We had our celebration right after our Final Year Project. I booked KiseKi Japanese Restaurant that my boy recommended.

Terrence drove us to Takashima while waiting for my boy and HorngBor's arrival. Then we split our group to two, Ting, Carmen and Terrence had their window shopping around the Orchard before 6pm; My boy, HorngBor and I went to Kinokuniya to find Seeyong and Dano. Strolling around the place while the guys were having their jokes and sharing of information.

Existed Taka, we went to Heeren because we were too hungry and was waiting for the time to reach. HorngBor used his cool DSL and took pictures. He was so willing to let me play with his DSL and I was so touched. I was well famous in dropping things that were within my hands.

Finally we were able to enter the Restaurant.

The Sir asked me to give him my hand as he wanted to give me a UV-stamp on my hand, which will represent that I'm a customer of the Restaurant. Instead of giving him my hand, I gave him my thumb. T.T I was so funny, I thought he wanted to have my thumb print.

After having the UV-Stamp, we were able to go around and get our own food. It's a buffet type and I thought that the price was quite worth. I liked their pizza, so thin and cheesy, salmon, hotplate, prawns, desserts and many more!

Varieties of food.

By the time they were filled up, HorngBor and I still have space in our stomach. I'm such a Big eater. I hoped that I won't get fat.

After eating, we went to Cineleisure and we watched ShaoLin. The storyline of the movie was touching yet sad but too bloody. There were times when my heart was attacked because of their sudden gunshot. It was a miserable story.

Wear Formal & Heels

Tomorrow will be a big day for the three of us. We will be wearing formal dress and a killer heels to school for our presentation on our Final Year Project.

Since October 2010, we have been waiting for the day to come. Hope that we are able to do well and achieve higher grades than previous project. Despite I put so much efforts for my FYP(1), I had C+ as my grade. I'm counting on this FYP(2).

After my presentation, we are going to celebrate at KiseKi Japanese Buffet Restaurant together with my boy, Horng Bor and See yong.

Wish me all the best for the presentation.

Tomorrow is the day

One last day to Final Year Project Submission. Yesterday, I went to meet Cuiting in her boyfriend's house to do project. (She stayed in her boyfriend's house; his boyfriend and his family were not in except maid and Glenn the dog) I was so scared when I saw Glenn then he kept coming to me and licked all over my arms and hands. I was froze when he approached me but after quite sometimes, I managed to pat on him on his head.

Carmen arrived one hour later and we were busy editing our project and dismissed our meeting at 1am. Everything is done here and there except some touch up which hopefully we can finish by today.

I couldn't wait for the Wednesday to arrive. I really wanted to end the relationship with our final year project (2).

Next month will be my last month staying with BestCare Montessori. I definitely will miss those kids - My favorite student, daughters and sons. I had been with them for around 4 years. Last year's Kindergarten 2 had graduated and became Primary 1. Hopefully, I can see Luke and his class's graduation this year. Hopefully Janelle's graduation on next year too. I doubt all will remember my existence but I will definitely remember them. <3

Staying @ Home

Today is my Off-day from school. I woke up in the morning at 5.50am and get myself ready to go ICA building by myself. By the time I reached there was only 7.30am and the queue that was lining outside the building was already very long. I was freezing cold outside the building for thirty minutes and barely used 10 minutes to receive my passport.

I boarded bus 107 way back home. I would like to give myself a round of applause. My mum brought me there once and I already knew my way there and back.

I rested at the sofa for 2 hours before telling myself to study. I should have go National Library and studied alone. The atmosphere in my house was too distracting, especially when I see my blanket. However, I managed to study my Hospitality and Retail. Hope I can score well tomorrow.

21 this year. Sigh, I'm already level up to 20 last year. It was so amazing yet horrible. I didn't want to age that fast. -.-

This year's January is my most busiest month ever since the past 3 years in school. Final year project submission on next Monday, we had to let our industrial partner to see our work before they do our evaluation (final day of evaluation is on 26 January 2011 which will be our presentation day too). There are up-coming exams within this two weeks. Busy is the word and worry is another.

I hoped that I can do well for my Finance Banking UT2. I didn't do well for the first paper.

I'm having exam recently. I will be graduating on 23 February 2011 - Can't wait.

Unfair

Why can the rich get what they want? Are there any humble among the rich?

Why can the intelligent speak what they want? Did they actually feel what others feel?

Should I be glad that I'm not belonging to any group on the above or should I be upset because I wasn't one of them? Probably I'm just jealous that I wasn't.

My future was so misty right now. I did not know what to do after my diploma. Am I able to pursue university after a few years time? Maybe I wasn't a material to be a teacher anymore. Disappointed and missed. Although opportunities still open, probably I should do something more relevant for myself in this situation.

Probably she was the smartest, the most lovable, you showed more care to her. There were couple of things that you did to her, weren't done to me. Why do I feel so hurtful right now? Am I jealous of what she had done well and I had not or am I jealous of not receiving the same amount of attention? Even he could understand me better than you right now.

Later I will be collecting my Identification Card at ICA with parents. Hope that there will be a new turn of life.

Deed Poll

By next Tuesday, I will be able to get my new Identity Card. 'Joann' had added at the end of my principal name. My elder sister and I went to Prasannadevi lawyer house and had our Deed Poll done within 2 days. Judy was the one who helped out throughout the process. Without my mum, I couldn't manage to have my English name ended because I'm under 21. Actually the process was easy than I thought.

1. Hoping next time my students will address me 'Teacher Joann' ^^
2. My boy has his English Name 'Paul' in his Identity Card. It will definitely benefit us in the future.

Basically, that's my reason of editing my name. I knew that they were simple reasoning but probably more reasons/excuses would be coming along.

Falling Sick

This morning at 6.26 a.m, I received a message from my boy. He had sore throat after several coughing yesterday ended up having fever and block nose today. He couldn't sleep since 2 a.m and only able to sleep at around 7.00 a.m

This added me another reason for not turning up lesson. Since my boy was sleeping, I went to Hougang Mall and took my IC photo. Remembered I mention I went to make a deed poll? Both my sister and I added English name in our Principal Name. The photos really turned up awful. My heartache after spending $14 (2 sets) in total to take pictures from the auto machine.

After redeeming the pictures from the machine, I boarded bus to my boy's house. By the time I reached Singapore Polytechnic, he messaged me that he was awake. I told him that his angel was about to reach his house and take care of him when I was in the lift. He told me that he kind of predicted that I was coming to his house. Luckily he was not angry with me for not turning up lesson. It was my first time skipping the lesson in this semester. 5 weeks more, I would cross my fingers and say that I won't be skipping another lesson.

He fell asleep after he popped medicine. While he was sleeping, I prepared lunch for his family and myself. Creamy Chicken Spaghetti with mushroom, Veggi and baked fish with potatoes. Sound yummy, right? He had fever again but he felt much more better after popping another pills at night.

My mum, she told me that she was about to fall sick too. She felt like vomiting when she was working. She came back at around 10 p.m and now she is fasten asleep after popping pills too.

Hope that they could recover real fast and the rest of us, please take care of ourselves. My right eye is recovering!

Our Choice

It was nice to have raining weather when we were in indoor, specially nice when we were tucking in bed at night.

Did I mention that the both China were back to live my boy's house? I weren't expecting much changes from the son- his dressing at home.

Today, Suichang, Sew Eng and Horng Bor came to my boy's house and we played 'Owner's Choice'. In the beginning, we weren't know how the game worked. We played three set of games. First game - 3rd, Second game - 4th and Last game- LAST! Oh gosh, it really burnt a lot of my brain cells. The game was about buying, selling of stock and needed Strategy, sabotage and luck.

It was a killing cells games but I kind of like it. It made me feel a little clever and cunning at the same time.

Our 4th Year Anniversary

Last day of 2010 and it is my darling and my 4th Year Anniversary!

Early in the morning, my boy crawled out of his bed and accompanied me to Clementi Polyclinic. I went there to check my right eye. I didn't what was the name for it but the doctor said it looked like a pimple. Doctor said that my eye was badly infected and was swell. I asked if he could give me eye patch but he said it would cause a bad vision for me and asked me to wear sunglasses instead. Don't say that I acted cool if I wore sunglasses, alright? I didn't want that to be in my eye. It looked so ugly.

After checking my eye, my darling and I went to the market and packet breakfast for his family and me. We went back home and enjoyed our duck noodle and congee. Both of us had exchanged our anniversary present, however, the present that I wanted to give him wasn't ready yet. Yesterday, I went to Vivo and wanted to buy Formula One 2010 Xbox game for him. Both Challenger and Best Denki told me that they ran out of stock and only could get it in next 2 week.

Actually wanted to give him surprise but he was so smart enough to guess what I wanted to give him.

I didn't know that my darling actually went out last week and went to a lot of places just to purchase a present for me. He really surprised me. He bought me a necklace from SooKee Jewellary and the salesperson told my darling that there's only 5 pieces in Singapore.

It looks so nice and I really love it.

Both of us rest at home while waiting for the time to pass, we were about to meet our usual clique to go Clarke Quay. The guys bought 2 strategy board games. My darling, SuiChang, Horng Bor and I went to Mr. Curry and had our dinner while SewEng went back home for shower and met them at SuiChang's house after our dinner.

Now my darling and the guys are at SuiChang's house playing Mahjong and they will be playing their new board games after that. Hopefully I can join with them the next time.

Around 40 minutes left and we shall welcome 2011 for it arrival.

Full House!

Zhilong was back from Australia and went to Bangkok but now he finally settled down in Singapore during his school holiday.

On 25 December, the usual clique met up in Clementi and we played L4D2 in our common Lan shop. I was so bad playing games but I enjoyed playing Left four dead 2 with them. The sky started to pour when we were heading back to my boy's house as Horng Bor needed to get his jeans changed. It was torn terribly but was kind of funny.

My boy, Suichang, Zhilong, SewEng, Horng Bor and I went to Clementi MRT control station and met Ralph. It was finally a full house. Seven of us went to Crystal Jade in Holland Village to celebrate Zhilong was back and had a group bonding.

Oh gosh, I felt so embarrassed because I could eat more than Zhilong did. When he stopped eating, my stomach still felt a little empty! I shall not reveal my weight to them. I guessed I would be ranked somewhere between them.

Last Year's 25 December (2009)

This Year's 25 December (2010)
The waitress was so unhappy being a camera girl.

I went to the Gallop Stable in Pasir Ris with BestCare Montessori today. The weather was very hot but that was good because I didn't want my shoes to be stained with mud.

Saying about riding on the pony, there was once, my dad asked me whether I wanted to ride on the horse with him. I said I wanted, so my dad went to buy the ticket for me. I was too scared to ride and ended up selling the tickets to somebody else.

The activities were Phototaking, Feeding the Ponies, Ride on the Pony and lunch.

Instead of saying some of the kids were really scared to feed those ponies, I'm scared too. Although I knew that they were quite harmless, I didn't want my palm to be wet by their saliva.

I assisted some kids up to the ponies and took pictures of them. It looked warm to see some of their parents around them.

Look at the smiles, they looked so sweet. Oh wait. Charmeine wasn't even looking at the camera.
Hee-Ha!

Let's play

After our Mid-evaluation, we felt much more relieves. Although those comments weren't what we really want to hear, we had to keep on to their standard since they stand 50% of our grades. I just hoped that they will appreciate our work.

Ting had been Vietnam for three days. She was there with a group of Republic Polytechnic student and facilitators to help those poor in the village. Hoped that she was doing fine.

My mum wanted to do a makeover on her hair and I was being "tempted" and "pulled" to the seat. Nothing special with my hair. I just did a rebonding AGAIN. I guess this time was so much successful than being done in the Snip Avenue.

Please go to:

Block 703 Hougang Ave 2
Singapore 530703

Their saloon is at the very end. The hairdressers are very friendly.

Tomorrow I will be going back to BestCare Montessori. :D

Switched room

Yesterday, my sisters and I slept at 3am in the morning. We used to have one bedroom and one study for the three of us but we decided to let my elder sister to have a room and MingMing and I would share a room.

After my parents went to bed, my younger sister and I started to shift our tables and selves out of our study room to the living room. We helped to clean Jacynda's room while she was on phone. Three of us carried Jacynda's bed to her new room and started cleaning our room. We shifted our beds and tables with minimum sound. We were so afraid to wake our neighbor below.

MingMing and I had our shower before we slept at 3am plus. I woke up with red eyes and shoulders ache. Daddy and Mummy was very surprised when they came to our room this morning. Our room is so neat.

When I was in school, I kept yawning and I forced myself to open my eyes. I felt that I could fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes. Actually MingMing and I planned to go Bugis today but we were too tired already. We decided to go there tomorrow after her work.

Tomorrow will be my last day of school and I will enjoy my 2 weeks holiday working, accompany my boyfriend, my family and doing project. Hope that I can enjoy my short holiday.

It had been a tough time for my final year project team. We attended meetings with industrial partner, spent overnight to do our project but nothing was appreciated when we had our mid-evaluation. The two evaluators didn't know what we were doing, therefore, we wanted to explain them our project through our prototype since we were not given chance to use Brel software yet. However, they stopped us from presenting our prototype and went on to our Use-case diagram and our ERDiagram. I mean come on, we were trying to explain what our actual project doing by presenting our prototype first. By just looking at our use-case diagram and ERDiagram, you won't get much information.

I will be dropping myself on bed very soon.

15 days more to our 4th year Anniversary! :)

Daddy & Mummy

Yesterday was 13 December 2010. That was my daddy and mummy's 23rd Wedding Anniversary. My boy and my 4th year Anniversary is on 31 December 2010.

Sweet and loving daddy and mummy went out together, yesterday. It was a coincidence that my mum no need to go for work. I planned to grill yummy fish for them tonight. Hope that would enjoy their dinner.

Although it was their Wedding Anniversary, I had to stay up in school till 8pm plus for the Final Year Project meeting with the Industrial Partner. We had presented our prototype and realized the system would do simple calculation. Therefore, manual calculation should not be there. While I was listening to their discussion, I edited the stuffs that Mr Lam asked us to correct.

I was really terrible upset when I saw you not listening to the meeting but reading your magazine. I didn't want to let you know because I chose to pretend not to see. You offered your help to edit the claim forms but everything were already inside my prototype, a few minutes I would be able to finish edit. I would rather you to finish editing your stuffs before you came to help me. Not because I rejected your help, it is because the time matters. It would be a mess if both of us changed prototype, what would the outcome of the prototype become? It would rather not telly. I preferred finished everything and let all of us check.

(T.T) Time really matters. That was once you cried because you felt that I was giving you stress when I did my work very fast. However, this was what I feel, if nobody in the team initiated to do work, we only completed one thing in one week. We only barely meet up at least once a week, we knew that we wanted to spend time with our love ones. Therefore, speeding up the work would be better, don't you think so? It was alright to be wrong but at least came up with the template.

Please let yourself know which weighs more. Tomorrow is our mid-evaluation.

Beautiful Saturday's Morning

I'm wearing my boy's jacket right now. The weather is so cool and I'm loving it.

Last few weeks, I was busying with my Final Year Project(2). It would be my last project before I graduate. My team did a lot of stuffs but not all were completed. By right should be one step at a time but we see the need to rush. While I was doing my prototype, I did report, Entity Relation Diagram, there were so many things to do.

Next Wednesday, I will have my Mid-Evaluation for my project before I went for work. By this Sunday, we had to complete everything for Mr Lam, our industrial partner. He did mention to Mr Julian that he had a hard time with the teams. There were three teams and two of the teams had to work together. And I was belonging to the merging team. I won't disagree to Mr Lam's comment but it was really tough to have seven brains working together. It was so hard to communicate because everyone's pace was so different. Although I liked to work with another team, it would be better without the guy in their team. He had been wasting our time, talking and asking useless stuffs. He didn't even know what the objective of his team should be doing.

I just can't wait for my holiday to come. Although holiday won't be as "holiday" as I think, at least I can focus on my project and those children in BestCare Montessori.

On 24 December 2010, I will be going to a Farm with BestCare Montessori and Zhilong, one of our usual clique will come back from Australia. ^^

20 days more to our 4th year anniversary!

Another round

I had been busying doing my last Final Year Project(2). I couldn't sleep early nowadays and thanked for the cosmetics, it helped me covered up my panda eyes. Kidding, my panda eyes weren't that bad, just that I felt my eyes became smaller, almost liked Brock (a character from Pokemon). He was the only cartoon character that I remembered who had a pair of small eyes. -.-

I had not finished my prototype for my project. My prototype power-point were already 98 slides. I had to add some more slides for calculation part. My report was around 50% done. Our deadline would be on the 4th week counting from today. I would be happy enough if we completed everything by then. I couldn't imagine how I would be happy after everything end.

I did enjoy doing with stress, I always had the mentality to finish fast which my team mates were quite worried about it. I couldn't help to complete everything that were given to us in a short time. There was once Carmen asked me for help and I finished it so fast that made she cried. I guessed it was because I did things too fast that gave her stress. Unknowingly, I did that.

Everything were good on the night itself. There were a lot of things waiting ahead. Three of us wanted to have a work-life balance. Sometimes, it was hard but we still manageable. As long as we initiated to do work, everything could be done as soon as possible.

My Sunday

I had been oversleeping since last Thursday. I couldn't hear my alarm. I woke up when I saw lights shone through the window and rushed to prepare myself to my boy's house.

I made brunch for my boy and his family. Fish was so salty! I was so sorry to them.

My boy and I watched 'Inside Man'. Expect the unexpected. The negotiator was awesome, they played a lot of physiology game.

My elder sister and I are going to do deed poll this month. Our English names will be official soon. We are so excited about it. I want to do this because of future use. Tell you all soon after I have everything done. HAHA!

Did I mention that I finished my exams already? I couldn't finish Financial Banking UT, left with a question which I simply had to put the answer '1' and I would earn the mark.

There are couple of events coming up on this month!

8 December 2010 - Work with Teacher MingAi in the afternoon.

People around me

Relationship, Money, Career, Friends, Family, Projects, Exams and what else can make you feel stress? YOURSELF.

Nowadays, I realized that people around me were not that happy of their environment. Most stress were not given by others but produced by yourself. When there's a will, there's a way. No matter how tough your situation was, never give up hopes in your life.

There were some problem with my dad's job and was out of it. We were disappointed yet happy for him. The company lost a good man and my dad always complained to us that the job was bored. Imagine you were the only person in the office and my dad won't do anything that the boss didn't like when at work such as playing games and watch movies. He would have to sit there to find things in nothing from 10am to 8pm.

We were happy that his previous job was still hunting for him to come back. Hope this time, they would treasure my dad and make him feel motivated.

I left with one last Final Year Project to do and my team were rushing to complete and had to submit by tonight. We had our late sleep since Wednesday. Our project is very different compared to the previous project that we did because our project consider a industrial project. My team and another team have to collaborate and come out with a system. There are seven brains but it would be difficult to cooperate together. Their team is doing recruitment, retrench, resign and leaves for the employee and my team is doing payroll. Everything that we did had to be linked.

And the main problem is that we have one guy from another team who liked to ask useless stuffs and said things that are redundant. He even had the cheek to tell our industrial partner that he had a court case - stealing by the Carefour or Cold storage, not very sure. Simply throw his own face.

Although I was quite stress about it, I did not want to affect the people around me. Seeing those young children in BestCare, I would already feel happy.

Finally, A BIG YES to FRIDAY! Coming to the end of the year, I hoped that next year will be better. 31 December 2010, my boy and my 4th year anniversary!

They are just drama

My sister introduced me a Korea drama 'He's beautiful'. I had watched till episode 9 and it made me had a combination of upset, envy and happy.

After watching the drama, I always had to tell myself that those romances only appeared in the show. They were almost impossible to happen in real life. Probably this is why most of the girls liked to watch Korea drama.

I would not rush myself to finish up the drama because I still have my last paper to go. I could balance my work-life. ^^

I was wondering how our Final Year Project was. Three of us were looking hopeless when we finished our flowchart, User Specification and Use Case-diagram. Information was not given fully, how could we expect ourselves to know by our own?

Yeah, I'm happy that my boy had quit his horrible job. Hopefully, we would able to meet up often!

Tomorrow, the usual clique will be having exercise. WORKOUT TIME!

Teacher MING(s)

Yesterday's morning, Cuiting and Carmen came to my house for Final Year Project II. Before they came, I prepared hash browns and pizzas for them. See, there's benefit coming to my house.

I didn't want them to come so early with empty stomach and do our project for hours.

While we were doing project, we had our girls' talk too. It was coincidence that my boy's friend happened to be someone we know but the person didn't know us at all. We also know that what kind of person that person is. The person is ________, weird and bubbling. Let you fill in the blanks. The answer are not vulgarity so retrain yourself from using. ^^

My younger sister worked in BestCare Montessori in the morning and I had my afternoon shift on the same day. My sister came back and we decided to go there together and went to our aunt's house after work. Many children asked why she came back and I overheard a conversation between two kids in the toilet, discussing why Teacher Mingai was back. Issac Chern said that maybe she forgot to take something and Tee Ping asked why she had to change her clothes. I secretly laughed over their conversation, I felt that they were so mature and cute.

I asked Lynn whether Teacher Mingai or Teacher Mingen pretty, she said Teacher Mingen. (HAHAH!)
Luke kissed me suddenly when I sat beside him.
Luke told his dad that I came to school when his dad went to fetch them back.
Janelle asked me whether I would take up her class and was very disappointed after telling her I can't.
Charmaine called me "mummy" and came to me for hugs.

I had great fun with the kids despite we had not been seeing each other for 2 weeks. Many knew that Mingai is my sister. Some said that she was my jiejie because she is taller than me.

Together with Teacher Winnie, we took the playgroup, Nursery one and two to the playground. We looked after them and played with them.

He loves me.

Other than my boyfriend, my daddy, this him, that him.. LUKE LOVES ME.

Today was MingAi's second day at work in Bestcare Montessori. She was so fortunate because on her second day of work, she went outing with them already. I was so envy and was hoping I could be there with them.

MingAi was still inexperience in guiding them but hopefully she managed to get a hold of it.

Okay, I didn't know why but suddenly Luke's friend, I was assuming KaiRui or Shane because they are Luke's close friend, told Teacher Mingai :

He said,"Luke really loves Teacher Mingen."
Then MingAi went to asked Luke,"really uh?"
Luke nodded his head.

It really gave me a bright smile after hearing that. I told my sister that I would give him a big kiss tomorrow.

Next our new princess, Charmaine.

Upcoming ~~Event~~ Exams

I finished one of my exams last Friday and hopefully I could score well and bring up my GPA. I guessed that I had very little chance to go university. There were many considerations to my final decision.

Probably studying university after a year later or totally drop the hope of studying there and pursue another studies or work.

I left 2 more exams to go. While I was studying, I felt the sudden spark of excitement because I left 9 more weeks of lesson to go before I graduate. Time flew so fast in my third year in polytechnic.

Thinking back, I guessed I didn't make wrong choice choosing Diploma in Business Application instead of ITE - Hairdressing course. If I studied that, I probably worked some salon and struck there with my whole life with the hairdressing certificate and didn't realized I have passion in being a teacher and interested in Human Resource Management. I won't be knowing Cuiting and Carmen.

November is coming to an end. My boy and I will have our 4th year anniversary on 31 December. :)

Wondering how Abraham is. He will be in Kindergarten 2 next year.

He was in Nursery 1 when I was there. All I could remember about him was HE BITE ME AND LEAVE ME A SCAR ON MY FACE! hahaha but he's adorable. Probably he can understand more.

I have 99 days more to my graduation.

As I promised

As I promised MingMing that I would bring her to Bugis after her O level, I brought her there yesterday. Before we went there, I showed her the way to BestCare Montessori. She would be working there on next Monday and Tuesday. Another teacher in our house!

How lucky she was, she could go outing with the kids on her second day of work! I guessed MingMing would be very excited to be there.

I bought her a short and a pair of socks as her reward for completing her O level. I wondered why nobody did that to me. *hahaha!* Both of us enjoyed our shopping trip! I was glad that CY tagged along too.

I had been thinking whether I should go for my further studies in university or studied privately as a childcare teacher. I had been thinking a lot- future, financial and family. HEADACHE! My boy encouraged me to go university and I was kind of excited about it. The main concern for studying university is the funds.

Cycling with them

Last Wednesday, my Final Year Project team mates and I went to Somerset 111 to interview Tuas Power Station's Human Resource Manager. It was for our project purpose and we needed to find out the information of payroll. We went there with another team and we were very irritated by the guy from another team who kept asking irrelevant questions. I bet that their team mates were piss off too. Mr Julian told us that he got scolded after the meeting.

My team mates were very well prepared, we came up with questions printed and asked all the questions that we needed to know.

Before we had our interview, we were with Terrence and we took pictures in Scape. It was fun.

Right after the interview, we fulfilled someone's wish to go East Coast park and had a ride. We rent bicycle for 1 hour and we had 2 more hours free - $6/-. When I rode out the bicycle, the chain spoiled. I went back and had my bicycle changed.

We rode till 6pm plus and had McDonald ice-cream before we went back home.

I looked like a sick person here. Haha..

Tuesday

My boy had his lesson in the morning till 3pm. I was at home waiting for the time to leave my house. I delivered food to my daddy's office, accompanied him and helped him by cutting some of their flyers. He's working as a maid agency- A Plus Maid Agency.

One hour before my boy ended his school, I boarded bus and traveled down to his place and waited him at the nearest bus stop to his house. We walked up and rested ourselves. We watched Piranha.
It was a gross and totally unsuitable for kids.

After watching Piranha, we rested before we had to leave the house to Crystal Jade at Holland Village. We met Dano and we shopped around the Pet Lover as we reached there early. My boy bought a premium cat food for Baby Z.chi. I bet she would be excited when the can was opened.

We were so Filled up after eating in Crystal Jade.

Yesterday, Wednesday.

I met up with Cuiting, Carmen and Terrence at Hougang Mall to have our brunch before we left to Somerset 111 to meet up Julian and other team to interview Ms Wendy, HR Manager of Tuas Power. We were trying to get a lot of information from her because we would be implement a system for the company.

After the interview, Terrence drove us to East Coast Park and we had our bicycle ride. We rent 1 hr and they gave us another 2 hours free. Each of us only paid $6 for the bicycle. The place was so nice. Hopefully, my darling and I would have one day in the beach together. Maybe picnic with the usual clique too! :)

I would upload my picture soon.

Sorry, I would be busy for the following weeks. My Final Year Project (2) just started.

Night Market

I liked it when it rained at night. I went to my boyfriend's house in the morning.

We made brunch and mainly was cooked by him. We watched 'Monga' while eating.

Brotherhood and friendship or fight and reputation? It was a very sad ending.

After watching the movie, we went to the night market at the Clementi. Both of us bought the same design cover for our mobile phone. Woohoo! Hoped that my boyfriend didn't mind having red. :)

After walking around night market, we went back home. We studied and I left 6.30pm before the rain started to pour heavily.

Last week for my younger sister's O-Level. I already booked a date with her on the Tuesday after her O-Level week. Hopefully she could do much more better than her two sisters. All the best to her and her friends.

Yipppee! On this coming Tuesday, my boyfriend invited me to go Crystal Jade with his army friends again. This time round was because YongJian had his ORD celebration.

Teachers in the house

After O-level, my younger sister, Mingai might be joining BestCare Montessori as a part-time teacher too. She would like to experience being a teacher and hopefully she could get into the Preschool Education in Ngee Ann Polytechnic or probably private.

After our studies, we might work in the same school. GOSH, if that happened, both of us would be seeing each other except the time when we were sleeping or went out with our own friends. I believed that she could be a good teacher because she loved having children around her too.

Jacynda, our elder sister was very jealous because being a teacher was her childhood dream. She used to be our teacher and we were her prefect and chairperson. We had a very big whiteboard at home and we would go up and did questions that she provided. We had invisible friends with names. We threw the books to our invisible friends. She would scold those invisible students who didn't finish up their homework and most of the names being called were those people that she didn't liked. she always rewarded me and my younger sister right in front of the class. Kinda bias, right? It was fun having them.

We were told that our interview with the Tuas Power Station was being postponed to next Wednesday.

Things were not really going smoothly in my family but I believed that all of us would work hard and face any problem together. Although I felt very stress, I would not let myself down because I needed to support the rest of my family.

Both of us studied for the whole day. My upcoming exams will be arriving in 2 weeks time. Hopefully, I can do them well. This is my last chance to bring up my GPA.

On this Wednesday, I won't be going for work because I will be having an interview session with the Tuas' company with my team mates. I'm going to miss those children.

Next Tuesday, my school will be having photo-taking for the year book 2010. We will be grouping by diplomas. My friends and I felt excited because we are graduating after this semester. After graduate, I would be looking up for jobs - probably work and study for the preschool education or find the job that related to my current diploma. It has become one of my main concerns - work for money or work for passion? :(

My boy has been working when he no need to attend school. We simply left only weekends to meet up. Kinda upset but this is good for him because he will have new experience and learn the skills of being a accountant.

Although I only need to study for three days in the semester, I still feel the stress. My team and I still yet to start our Final Year Project (2). Both our advisors are in overseas and we need them to be with us when we go to Tuas Power House for some interview session.

I have to do well for my semester. I can't wait for my year to end and get out of poly-life. I do enjoy but I want to work and earn for my family and my future.

I'm working on every Wednesday. However, my children in the school always asked me why I was not around on the day before I came. Janelle had been asking me whether I would be taking up her class and why not. ^^ The Nursery 2 class was good. They were very obedient and the most easy to settle.

Today, Jacynda (my elder sister) suggested to go Bugis as she was having her off-day. I agreed to go with her after my school. My poor younger sister who will be having O-level tomorrow, joined us too.

After the street had their renovation, some of their prices were adjusted - INCREASED.

Employment

Yesterday, right after I ended my work, I went to Raffles Place to meet up my boy. He needed to submit his particulars to the Recruit Express. Yup, he was hired by the company and he will be starting work ~~on this coming Monday~~ tomorrow.

I enjoyed the scenery while waiting for him. Singapore was way too small. I was in Raffles Place and I could see Clarke Quay and Boat Quay. Although they are separated by stations, they are actually quite near to one another.

After submitting his particulars, we bought McDonald before we reached SuiChang's house. We had our short game before we went out to eat at SuiChang's friend's Restaurant at Novena.The shop name was slipped off my mind. We had Mapo Tofu, Imperial Chicken and Kang Kong. Their Imperial Chicken was one of their signature dishes. The chicken was tender.

After so many days, I finally have my day to look at Baby Z.chi. Glad that we made good use of the time. My boy and I prepared our delicious brunch!

By the way, yesterday KengLee told me that our primary school friend, Soh Wee Kian was a murderer. I could not remember he was my classmate but school mate. She gave me the link to read the news with his picture. Way too scary!

Good-bye, Our Kindergarten 2.

I woke up at 6am this morning, prepared for the important day for the Kindergarten 2. They had their graduation concert and everyone was rushing to get ready for the kids especially for Kindergarten 2. Me and Gladys were in the school helping the graduates to put on their gowns and mortar board. They were in Nursery 2 when I came in. Remembered everyone were so small and today was their turn to graduate. I was so happy that I was designed to help them put on their gowns and mortar board because it was an important task. Although I only taught them a few weeks of Chinese, I felt very proud of them.

I was in the backstage, looking after Playgroup, Nursery 1 and 2 with teachers. I used that opportunity to take pictures with those kids. It was my first time seeing Teacher Hwee Min. We couldn't have the chance to see each other until today because both of us still having school. When she was in holiday, I was in my school; When I was in my holiday, she started school. She was really a sweet and pretty girl. We kicked off quite well today because before we knew each other, we had been hearing about each other.

We were hiding behind the backstage peeping the performances. The children really made us proud. Every part of the performance made me felt so touched. I felt that this year's performance was considered a success. Everything went on smoothly.

Teacher MingEn and the rest of the children. (After concert ended) I was so regretted that I couldn't take pictures with some of the K2.

On Saturday

On this coming Saturday, there will be a graduation concert for the Kindergarten 2. It will be my second time joining them.

I had my first Chinese lesson with them. Hopefully, they could bring the knowledge with them throughout their lives.

Definitely, I will miss them. Sweet boy like Chrisean, pretty girl like Meagen, Dana who always wants to do her best, good students like Sherlynn, Celeste, Grady, Jayden and many more. Although there are some cheeky ones, they also have their cute and funny moments. After all these years, feelings were accumulated.

Love them all.

HOT, Hot!

Yesterday, the usual clique met up for their exercise. They were training for the IPP and I was there to ride the bike!

When they were running round and rounds at the stadium, I tagged behind them. My boy finished 2.4km running which I wouldn't and couldn't do it anymore.

The weather was so hot. Both my boy and I even showered up to five to six times.

After having lunch in his house, four of us watched '3 idiots

Although this is a non-Chinese show, I find it meaningful. Neither you nor me liked to do something that being forced. You lived for your life, pursue what you were passion for.

Today, my boy and I decided to take Baby Z.chi out of the house. We prepared the trolley and put on her collar belt. Unfortunately, baby Z.chi was too afraid to go out of the house even my boy carried her out. Probably she thought that we wanted to sell her out. Silly girl, we love her so much.

Tomorrow, I will be out for study with my boy after his driving lesson. I will work hard for my last semester.

Lottery!

There were many things that could make you as happy as winning a lottery. Things liked getting the right partner in life, picking some cash on the floor, pay increased and anything that could make you feel happy.

As you know that RP system, they always changed our classes every semester. I was not even in a fixed class since year 2. Having a best buddy in your class was like winning a lottery. And yes, I won this friendship lottery. Ting was in my class for today's module. The pity thing was that Carmen was not in our class, if not, our class sure turned chaos.

Although I didn't take up Financial and Banking Application (1), I managed to get into the Financial and Banking Application (2) class. In the morning, I was totally lost and even ended up in the middle of the maze when I was doing my slides on Hedge. I was happy that I managed to understand in the end by doing more research.

Nowadays, I was thinking whether I should study in Uni or just bond with BestCare and studied for their courses. I really had to think hard!

Tomorrow, the usual clique will be exercise in Singapore Polytechnic and the only lady would be riding the bike! I will be taking pictures. Don't slack when you run!

Confidence is back!

My school had started since Tuesday. I barely know anyone in my class but I managed to make new friends. Today was my second lesson and I thought that my group was doing well.

Yesterday, Carmen, Ting and I had our first Final Year Project (2) meeting with our supervisor and Brel software Company. There were two other teams which would be doing the same project with us but three teams would be distribute to different companies - School Of Technology Arts, Tuas Power House and Republic Polytechnic. Hopefully, my team could be doing project for other company instead of doing for our school!

I rushed for work right after we were ready and I was late! It was my first time being late for work and I managed to contact Louisa. When I reached the school, kids were already woke up and they were preparing to change diapers.

Thinking back, actually I thought that I did good job. I shouldn't bother what other thought, but of course, if I really did something wrong, I should admit. I was not the teacher that would only reach the school on the time that I was schedule and went home on the dot. I liked to see children coming to school that was why I was always early if I worked in the morning shift. I liked to invite them in. The worst time in the day would be the day that they were sleeping because there wasn't much interaction with them.

There were many decision that I made was not only for now but more to the future.

The Perfect Ten.

After two more years, there won't be any beautiful dates liked today. Today, my family went to Malaysia for their feast. I woke up as early as them, had breakfast with them and left to meet my boy at his house.

I just went to flip though my diaries. I used to write them daily! I stopped after I realized my friends liked to dig my bag and flip though every pages to see what my secrets were.

06-06-06 : My boy and I didn't meet each other because he was working.
07-07-07 : We spent time together! It was still our Honey moon period. HAHA!
08-08-08 : What was so nice other than this day? It was my 18th! My cousin's ROM too. My boy and I spent our lovely day together!
09-09-09 : Last year, we were still together :D
10-10-10 : It's today! We are still together and we even enjoyed our afternoon time with our usual clique.

No matter how the date looked beautiful, as long as we were happy to be together that meant everything.

Tomorrow I would be working on full shift. It felt sad when it was coming to an end of my vacation. I would be starting school on Tuesday onwards till February, I would be graduating. I was only exciting on the day when me and my friends would wear our graduation gowns! My boy will be going on that very day! :D

Foodlicious

The usual clique met Horng Bor at Suntec and we had our lunch at Crystal Jade La Mian. We shared a few dishes and they were incredible small portions for the five of us. I was not sure about the dishes' name but we ordered 2 types of chicken, 'ma po toufu' and a soup of wanton.

After eating at Crystal Jade, the boys decided to revise the homework at Waffle Place but ended up playing Monopoly from SewEng's laptop. It looked quite interesting.

AND YES, finally after two weeks, we had our chance to eat at Waffle Place.

Horng Bor who went for his healthy conscious, he ordered 'Rum and Raisins' as his ice-cream.
Suichang had his Mint ice-cream and SewEng chose Moca ice-cream.

My boy loved at first sight on their Tisumisu ice-cream and I wanted to try their blueberry Cookie Ice-cream.

Their Waffle was very crispy and smelt nice even it was plain. Considering the atmosphere and their service, the price was reasonable.

After eating and played a round of their Monopoly game, we boarded bus to Paradise Center and we played games in lan shop. My boy decided to let me try playing 'Left four dead 2.' It was my first time playing and I was not really good in controlling my character. In the beginning, I kept shooting at my team mates. They were kind enough for not being angry! HAHA! It was fun and thrilling.

What's wrong?

Am I being so emotional nowadays or the problem lies on the people around me?

Where is my elder sister now? Both me and my younger sister had been waiting for her to come back home since hours ago. She didn't managed to answer our call neither replied our messages. WHERE ARE YOU? I'm so angry right now so angry that my tears rolled down.

My boyfriend either. Though I knew he was out with his friends partying somebody's birthday. Probably on his way home from gaming shop right now. [ 2am ]

Some people just failed to feel the way that their loves one felt. How could a person not to be worried when their love ones still hanging late outside with those people that we didn't have a single trust on them?

I was not really happy at work nowadays. I felt stressed and was afraid to do something that others thought that I was wrong. Afraid of being accused? Sigh. I didn't know who to turn to because I wanted to let everyone felt that I was happy. Since my family and my boyfriend didn't have the habit to read my blog, so here would be my place to pour my feelings.

Burger King

If you had a facebook account, you would know something about BK's Quick Pick. Both my boyfriend and I won on the same draw but we drew different voucher. I won myself a Dutch Apple which I really wished to have and my boy won himself a Singles Burger.

We met at ION right after his school. We shared our prizes and bought a set of Whopper JR.

After eating, we queued in the Sony Care Center and hopefully to get his mobile battery changed. Sadly, he didn't bring his warranty card along. We had to go down AGAIN!

I really wondered if I was the problem or it was because Singapore was so small that I had nothing to shop.

~~Act~~ to be

There were many times I was afraid that people would think that I did thing with hidden intention. I neither want to act as a devil nor a angel because I could be either one which made me no need to act.

Example: If you could imagine the voice level in the school and with a kid crying so badly without anyone stopping, it could be so irritating.

I thought that there wasn't a need to act as a good person to make the kid stopped crying and made the student liked you. I wanted everything that came from the natural's heart without any manipulation by others.

I could say that I had very pure reasons in every way. Everyone had their own reputation in their lives. I thought that no one could overtake one's efforts. Everything that you had done was incomparable to others.

When I loved a person, I made a very reasonable move to make him/she felt loved. I was a person who would not with tricks.

It explained how hurtful when you told me that I acted to be a good person even if you really said it jokingly. Could anyone feels me? I'm tired to look happy.

This morning, my boy and I went to Clementi and he had his hair cut as he wanted to prepare well for his tomorrow's interview. After having his hair cut, we decided to cook for our brunch. We purchased food from NTUC.

Once we reached home, we started to prepare ingredients for our spaghetti, Japanese Basil Chicken, French Fries and my darling's home-made fried Yun-Ton! Incredible. Almost everything that we ate was being fried except spaghetti.

My stomach felt better today!

When we just finished cooking, Horng Bor came and he started to study while my boy and I were eating and watching 'Watch-man'. Gosh, the show was three hours plus and we didn't manage to finish it.

As you knew, when his relatives came, the three little kids would shouting at each other for cheating and stuffs like that, it was a hard time for us to stay in the living room. We moved to his room and they studied while I enjoyed watching 'How I met your mother.'

I was so sorry about it because I had nothing to study! *Evil Laughs*

Work out!

My boy was so awesome! As my boy knew that I would not want to run with them today, yesterday, he bought the bicycle for me. I would like to share the bicycle with him because there were two sitters.

Today I went my boy's house in the morning before meeting the rest (SuiChang, SewEng and Horng Bor) at the Singapore Polytechnic Business School Bus stop. It was so romantic when my boyfriend rode me to the place. It was my first time sitting on the behind seat. In the beginning, I was so afraid that I would fall but my boy drove it well.

When the boys were warming up, I was cycling around the area. I was so glad that I could avoid their warm-ups. They went to the stadium and ran two rounds while I happily rode the bicycle. We had our showers at the swimming complex toilets and had our lunch at Subway in food court 3.

After we had our lunch, my boy rode me to his house and the rest followed behind. Lazy me went for bed after another wash up while the boys studied at the living room and SewEng went to Suntec Exhibition to seek for jobs. Wish him all the best!

I woke up and we watched 'Frozen' in the living room. It was totally GROSS! It made me felt like vomiting when 'Dan' broke his legs.

In the evening, we met up with SewEng and we had our dinner together. We finally had the chance to eat Clementi's most famous Claypot!

However, my gastric wasn't good since last Thursday. I did not have the appetite to eat anything. I felt better but still not good enough. :(

No waffles!

My boy and I met SuiChang and SewEng at the bus stop and we took bus 106 to Suntec city. My boy and I actually decided to have our waffles despite knowing that there would be crowd. We made our effort there and unknowing whether the bus could bring us to our destination. We dropped down by bus driver and he recommended us to take bus 133. We took and we alighted at the marina bay where the casino was. It was our first time entering the building.

My boy and I wanted to watch the Formula One practice and we were suffering with time constraint, we had to take bus to the Marina Bay station and alight ourselves at City Hall. Without eating waffles, we headed down to the food court where we could see free view of their formula one practice.

We thanked SuiChang and SewEng for looking after our stuffs when we were watching their practice. It was an nice experience but as it was not an actual race, it could be bored after seeing them pass by for many times.

Without finishing their practice, we left and I headed home while they went to play lan at Plaza Singapura.

My baby lappy was sent back home by the HP Hospital. I was quite surprised about their service. I didn't know they would come down to house to get the laptop and sent back to our house when it was ready.

I made a video for the children.

Smart kids nowadays, Chrisean made a red aeroplane by LEGO which I thought that it looked like a read model.

I won't be putting high hopes in getting our waffle today because there would be Formula One qualifying holding in Singapore which would have high possible of traffic jam.

Chapter 772 on Charlie St. Cloud

His love or brother?

Charlie met an accident with his brother, Sam, who was unfortunately didn't survived. After that incident, Charlie could see the spirit of Sam.

At a point, Charlie met a girl named Tess. They fell in love but his little brother seemed to be unhappy.

Who should he choose? Tess, his founded love or his dead brother, Sam.

It was hard to choose if I were Charlie. They were the people that I loved and I neither want to lose any of them.

However, if I had to help Charlie to choose, I thought that Charlie (Zac Elfon) should choose his love, Tess. Tess would be his supportive person in his life. They could do many things together that Charlie couldn't do with Sam anymore. Most importantly, both Tess and Charlie shared the same interests, sailing which would make him feel occupied without thinking the unhappy incident.

Charlie still loved his little brother but he had to admit that he already dead. He shouldn't be living at the past when everyone was moving on.

Run ~~Devil~~ Angel Run

Yesterday, I made used all my time. I woke up at around 6am right before everyone started to snatch toilet. I dressed myself for my afternoon shift in BestCare. I fastened my pace before the arrival of my bus.

As usual, my boyfriend was a Chef and I was his assistant. I sliced and chopped everything that he needed for his 'Char kway teow.' I baked some Japanese chicken popcorn to accompany the dish.

We watched 'The Bank Job' while we were eating. It really horrific when they kidnapped two men and tortured them by cutting one of their leg by a very strong vacuum or a chemical, I not very sure. Probably you should download and watched. It was based on a true story in British and some spicy up contents liked adding a female lead in the group of robberies.

I couldn't finish watching the movie with my boy but he said that the ending was very saddening. I left his house at 2pm and reached the school before three.

After working, I went to our aunt's house with my family. I didn't know why I agreed to run with Jacynda at night. It was a horrible feeling when you didn't know where you were running to. I thought we would be running around Serangoon JC but Jacynda brought me to the end of Kovan Melody. It had been years for me to run and probably I needed to get back my determination. I had stomach cramp when we were returning. It was so embarrassing. Instead of agreeing to run three rounds, we ran once.

I was excited for this coming Saturday. Most probably me, my boy and the usual clique could hang out together again. My boy and I planned to eat waffle at Cottage Waffle Place!

I had not get back my lappy yet so I couldn't upload some pictures that I took in school with the children :) Stay tune!

Distance

How could Love maintain when there was a long distance? The important ingredients for the potion was a mixture of faith, loyalty, trust and love. Nothing should be less.

I went to my boy's house this morning. I should be glad that I could use one hour and thirty minutes to reach his West from my East. Singapore has no states like other countries. Not thinking about the traffic jam, we no need to travel hours to reach our destination.

My boy and I decided to go down to Vivo City, we had lunch at the food court. We watched 'Going The Distance,' and it almost made me teared. I simply could understand how it felt when your love was far away from you for months or probably years.

Sacrifices should be involved if both parties wanted to remain their loves. No betrayals.
It was a nice movie. Don't watch it alone when your love is away from you. I believed you would cry.

Tomorrow, my boy would start his very first lesson in his university. Same school as SuiChang! :D Good that they could look out for each other. Hopefully, his class would have the fair amount of females and males. Probably less females would be better? HAHA!

I would be working for full day from 8am to 6pm tomorrow. Happy to see them again!

Sweet children

Yesterday I went to my boy's house in the morning before I worked.

When I reached Boon Keng station (my working place), my boy messaged me and told me not to be excited. Entering the school was like walking up the aisle. The children that were not sleeping started to look at me and waved. I was happy to see them again.

Probably everyone in the school especially the Kindergarten One knew that Luke liked me. Everyone in his class would tell him I was there. Even the cooking aunt asked me whether I missed Luke. Aww. I totally looked like we were young, teasing one another about someone you liked. *Kidding* However, I really could see Luke was happy! I didn't manage to take up his class but I looked after Playgroup and Nursery One.

Amelia was the girl that I didn't see before. She was quiet and sweet but they told me that she still couldn't get use to the school environment. I was glad that she didn't cry when I hold her.

Many kids asked why I was back and why I was not in their school for so long. I told them I had to study and the questions just carried on, liked "Why do you still need to study?"

After having the time with the children in the playground, they had their Lego session with the Kindergarten One. Luke reserved a seat for me. HAHA! By right he had to sit at the small tables with his class but he refused to move. His friend, Sharmaine Lim told Teacher Wang the reason why he didn't want to move. She said,"Because Luke likes Teacher Mingen." I laughed.

I couldn't differentiate when I was having flu and sinus. Since yesterday, I felt that my nose was dropping off. I was not sure whether I was falling sick.

'Grown ups'

I woke up early this morning and I had my breakfast with my dad at the coffee shop. I was so hungry and decided to eat a plate of chicken rice. I was so embarrassed that I had stomach groaning in the middle of exam last week.

I reached school one hour before the UT started. I thanked Cuiting to arrive school early too.

I was excited for the outing I had with my darling. After Ut, Terrence drove me to Hougang and I was able to take purple train to Harbor Front. My darling and I almost reach at the same time. We had our lunch at the market.

After filling up our stomach, we went up to the cinema and collected our tickets. 'Grown Ups' was nice. It was a funny show and along the movie, I could hear my darling laughed. 'Grown Ups' could help someone to feel happy and appreciate on what we had. Sometimes, we should stop our pace for a moment and looked around us. Probably things changed without you knowing.

I wished to go cycling and picnic soon :( Probably with Volleyball ? Hahaha!

I'm working tomorrow! I thought that nobody would be happy to work just liked I do. =)

My darling came back home from Suichang's house this morning as they played Mahjong throughout the night. As usual, I went to my darling's house in the morning but I reached after he reached home.

Today, I felt I was a little clumsy and forgetful. I misplaced the rice cooker, I forgot to boil water, I forgot to ask my darling to leave some french fries for his aunt. Gosh, totally horrible me.

In the afternoon, we sat down in front of the laptop and we watched Japanese Movie titled 'KaiJi'. Kaiji was a typical Japanese. He was not rich and he worked in a store liked 7-11. The story was about the rich and the poor people. The poor were there to fight for the life. They wanted freedom and enough cash to live. This story was very upsetting.

Nowadays, I have been watching 'Big Brothers' and season 1 of 'How I met your mother,' to kill my time. I still have one more exam to go next week and I will be totally FREE! :)

Sloppy~
This morning, I went to my boyfriend's house. I didn't expect to go out because he told me that he wouldn't want to go out on Friday. I went to his house with my simple clothes.

When I was waking up from my morning nap, he told me he realized it was a public holiday. He planned to watch movie with SewEng and SuiChang AT SUNTEC. Oh gosh, seriously I wanted to grab my stuffs home and get change before meeting them. I really wanted to do that.

You wouldn't believe that I really went to Suntec City with T-shirt, shorts and slippers! I seriously wanted to cry over my wearing. How could a person wear so sloppy to town especially when all my friends were so well dressed up.

We went up straight to Eng Wah and bought 4 tickets of Resident Evil Afterlife. The movie, quite expecting. They had many loud sound that I had to cover my ears.

After watching movie, we went to the food exhibition and bought some food. My boy bought 4 packets of bak sua and gave 2 packets to my family. Sweet boy!

Now they are playing mahjong! :)
