i shall aspire not to think so much next time...

it saves my energy for other things..

and creates less misunderstandings..

side note:

i have to go for a HOC meeting which clashes with cheer chalet.. it was supposed to be in the afternoon but somehow it got shifted to the night time.. wtf...

and that really irritates me...

The Beholder sees all....

2009-11-24T20:51:00.002+08:00

I will start on my NIE service learning project soon.. sigh...
just cant find the energy or the will because seriously it is not counted towards our GPA... and some people just dun care abt it... aka as usual not everyone is pulling their own weight..

argh!

I used to put in my full energy in doing this service learning thing or otherwise known as GESL.. but ever since my fren told me that it does not count towards GPA and also by seeing some of my grp members not doing their share.. i kinda cant be bothered too.. nonetheless i still did my part..

good thing is at least my programs sub-com the ppl r nice ppl who do their work.. if not i wld hav pmsed and probably screwed it all.. haha its good to work with nice ppl.. its good to work with nice ppl who do their work.. haha..

ok bah.. shall not bitch abt GESL... its going to be over by 14th dec.. so yar.. endure, do a gd job n fuck it afterwards..

**********************

on a side note.. and i know i really should not think about this, esp since some of my friends have not even finished their exams yet.. but i really really kinda wannna know what my results are.. lolz...

by talking to some ppl.. i just suddenly have this urge to fast forward time and just find out how did i do... n get it over n done with.. a personal thought i have is if in this first sem, i am able to fulfill my results aims (which obviously i have set aims).. then it kinda vindicates me that i am still able to juggle my many committments btween, NIE, Hall and Canoeing.. if i fail to fulfill my aims, then i will have to make the painful decision to drop some.. sigh.. and frankly i rather not..

also theres some issue of pride.. lolz... i cannot and will not lose out to 'some people'...
but thats not really the point...

crossover crossover crossover

so the wait goes on and on i guess..

***************

brighter note!.. sunday is the day my life changed.. after wearing specs for i think more than a decade.. i finally went for lasik surgery.. haha the operation was itself very short.. 15min n thats it.. but it felt long.. to me, i felt it was not as painless as they say it is. lolz.. rather uncomfortable actually.. and the recovery as usual is rather long n irritating..

thank goodness for lubricating eyedrops.. haha

so now my vision is near perfect.. i typing this entry wo wearing specs .. but there is fuzzy feeling abt it.. its like i m looking thru a crying eye.. lolz.. doctor said it will take 2 weeks to clear up.. and 3 mths for total recovery...

so i shall wait.. n b patient.. n not be paranoid..
and above all.. i will take care of my eyes..
haha

it is amusing, well at least for myself, when i feel something on my eye.. and i wld reach for my specs, only that theres no specs on my eyes.. lolz.. its like some phantom feeling of specs on the bridge of my nose.. freaky ar.. lolz.. guess need some time to get used to it..

it shall be interesting life after lasik... i can canoeing wo fear.. do cheer wo fear.. run wo hassle.. and well hopefully look good =P

Ahhhh.. the great outdoors

2009-11-19T13:25:00.002+08:00

well.. finally 1 semester for some NIE students have come to a close.

and really, i think the prof of NIE want us to end out examinations with a bang, like bang head the kinda bang. the very last paper i took which was taken yesterday was Maths Paper, it was basically a huge test on number systems to do with all the laws of addition, multiplication and divisibility, then there working operations in different number bases, knowing n converting to different number systems like roman, mayan and lastly the use of algebra n model drawing to solve word problems.. lolz

i know sound simple, not as chiam as those things that are mentioned in some other Maths course.. but seriously for a person like me who hates maths.. i think its quite the killer, especially since we r suppose to use what we have learnt in this Maths course to teach out student which i still do not see the point. anyway the paper was 2 and half hour, and omg lah, i think it was the first paper where no one left early and i felt it was like a history essay examinations coz of i was literally rushing to write out all those workings and what not, write until hand pain.

since when does doing Maths give hand pains.. haha

anyway.. shall not talk much about the paper, suffice to say it has its random moment and some WTF moments too. i should be at least contented that i more or less did or attempted majority of the questions in the paper. some people i heard did not fare that well.. hmmm shall see bah..

cross over cross over cross over...

yar but for the moments who cares.. the exams are over and lets start off with a party!. haha yup went clubbing with NIE mates which degenerated into NIE mate and friends.. haha..

sigh, before the maths paper, everyone said wanna go, after the maths paper, some people say mother do not allow (abit wtf ar).. and some people say they do not feel like going coz the paper traumatised them (even more wtf).. haha.. anyway in the end, it was just my nie mate and me.. and thnk goodness there were her frens if not will be very weird.. haha..

ok lah, counting that i have not clubbed since ages ago, the hall bash this year does not really count ar.. it went quite well.. oh yar we went double O.. the music was half bad - half good bah.. first part got damm alot of techno.. but later it was better.. haha.. dancing was fun as usual. ;)

anyway now still suffering the effects.. also dun know why.. i din drink that much hmmm... haha

********

well so now thats the exams are over.. suddenly i feel damm free.. and u know what gosh no one is free .. AIYO!

obviously hall ppl who are obviously all NTU are still taking their exams or have not even started.. so they r out..

the SJI bros who are all in uni too.. are either becoming very celeb in their own area and also are taking their exams... tgt with having sex with some random humanoid i m sure ;)

the same goes for SAJC peeps... sigh

and even the LTA of the signal corp is having some shit in his camp...

so yar i m pretty much left alone..
and yes i hav work to do... GESL is coming up soon.. and yes i m sure JCRC will come haunting me soon..

but i think for the moment.. i will just slack it all away.. hehe

The silence before the storm breaks...

2009-11-06T15:31:00.002+08:00

between crafting 2 written assignments, presenting 3 projects, doing 1 English Final Sem paper and having to worry about mummy's 2 kneel caps... i tot i did well for this week... everything went as smoothly as it can go.. i tink...

well this has been a most challenging and interesting week.. haha.. for a moment or two, i seriously thought i wun b able to make it but well i did in the end..

for the written assignments, i must really thank those who did the assignment with me.. lolz probably wun b able to find the motivation to do wo themz.. haha. oh not to mention the sharing of resources and tips.. one thing i seriously dun like abt assignment is the word count... haha.. always overshoot then i got to look back and edit .. which will result in me having to kill off all those flowery language sentences which while nice to read, actually does not contribute much to content.. haha! .. they are just there to restate a point.. or sum up something. still i tink my writing skills r not bad... there is still a decent level of language being used for all my written assignments.. thank the heavens!

for the projects.. thnk goodness i have good members who did their share of work and even though it seems we r all busy busy people (to organise a meeting is so hard =P).. we somehow managed to produce a good presentation.. i personally at least our presentation is max 20min long and not like some other grps' presentation which was like 30 over mins.. the horror... ahah
oh and we r totally rock at role-play.. haha being the drama ppl we are.. lolz!

as for the English Paper.. oh well no pt talking abt it.. feel like 75% confidence.. haha.. forgot a small section .. but then again quite alot of ppl died there.. the text type that i analyse i hoped i got it right.. alot of debate going on about that.. hmmmm... shall not think abt it too much, its over... i shall wait for the results to come..

then there are mummy's kneel caps.. haha... i m glad she is doing as well as she can in her current state, dun need to worry so much.. haha.. but of course she is bored and as a result she has resorted to spamming me sms.. which can get rather irritating.. just ytd she was smsing me telling me her brave tale of going to our nearby clinic to change her dressing.. n on another day was that she managed to mop the floor.. well yes you get the point... bet boredom is like eating her alive.. haha... on the other hand, i wished she had chosen another time to go for her ops, having to cycle btwn her and assignment is the moral debate of the year man.. haha.. sigh!

i will and always be strong...

well the week is over.. and things have settled down.. next week it all starts again but this time its not as shagged.. only 1 Presentation, 1 Maths Quiz and 1 Science Final Sem Paper.. not that bad considering this week .. haha

nonetheless, i am going to restart my mugging engine soon.. but just taking a short break first. slacked thru the whole of thurs (except during maths tut, which i died in ).. haha was listening to 'I've got a feeling' by B E P.. haha... resisting the urge to just dance around my room as i conquered that last assignment.. ok random.. tonite i shall go eat XLB with army frens and CY (the bimbs).. haha

weekend when it comes.. then i wil start.. sigh.. shall b doing maths n science..

i have and will continue to survive

look for my revival on the 18th of Nov... Muhahaha

Buckets,,, they come in buckets...

2009-10-27T02:36:00.003+08:00

hmmm.. well amid all the work.. i still find myself somehow alive. haha

good thing is the group assignments seem to be taking shape and so far, as far as i can tell, drawing from the comments the tutors have said.. our grps, esp the ICT one, seem to be on the right track... PBL is being irritating as usual but whatevr.

i have not started on my individual assignments yet.. 2 1000 words essay on Ed Psy.. my god.. well i will start soon..

cant wait for this 2 weeks to b over.. for that wld mean all the projects n assignments r handed in and done.. n all i have to worry abt are the test papers ... strange ar.. i actually do not fear the test papers as much as i fear the assignments.. gosh..

so the stress builds up...

but i shall try to see the 'silver lining'...
for one.. HOCC has finally came to a decision on the whole MJ saga.. glad to put that behind me.. and move on in life... and hopefully everyone will move on... i think i did my best.. managed to come to a decision that is good for hall and participants.. but of course the decision made will never please everyone, that is why we have a commitee... to decide on a final say..

i thought i handled it quite well...

another.. is that canoeing training has been suspended ... haha.. i know i know.. i m and still passionate abt canoeing.. i really do wanna master my strokes.. n all.. n i do fantasize abt getting fitter and buff .. and getting a medal .. haha.. but for now.. seeing how everythng is like clashing up down left right center.. it is good that i can finally take a breather and concentrate on things that need attention...

things like school work.. not saying i forsake those.. always have been giving attention to work but now is the time to give 110% attention to it.. haha

so i hereby promise.. i wil put back the 100% into canoeing after the tests and assignment.. yar
afterall i dun wan to lose my tan =P

on the other hand.. it also allows me to settle some other things in life..
once again. i come to a pt where i must ask myself which is more impt in life...

Hall.. or ... otherwise..

this time round though.. i tink there is no compromise..
but well i try my best to please all sides yar..

i hope everything will b fine.. and turn out fine..
sigh...

the truth is.. one just does not leave everything hanging.. or drop everything.. however noble we think ourselves to be.. things just do not work that way..

but i will try..

just hope all these will have a happy ending...
and i wish kl will b back soon.. haha.. its hard not to have someone to pour troubles to..

i wil keep smiling.. =)

Worries

2009-10-25T22:51:00.000+08:00

it is that time of the month...

2009-10-23T03:46:00.002+08:00

it seem so weird that it feels like mere days that we went thru our 'mid-term' phase of uni.. haha now i am once again fighthing the battle to prepare and get rdy for the 'final-term' phase of Sem1 of NIE..

and so its that time of the month again...

where the assignment start to pile up and well eye bags become bigger and bigger. this time round, instead of individual assignments, there is individual assignments AND group assignments AND tests...

sigh...

i seriously starting to hate group assignments, doing 3 at a time is damm grossed. haha. not to mention, everyone has like different time table since we r all teachers but yet studying different subjects.. there r the social studies teacher, PE teachers, MT teachers and General teachers...

sigh if so many different time tables, its so damm hard to organize a meeting and thus work done is so inefficient. haha.

and i find a weird pattern whereby i m doing all the compiling of the project work.. sigh..that is quite irritating too. but nvm i shall not complain, afterall if i do this project well, my mark wil go up too.. so got to tell myself that...

i just hate inefficiency... argh!

so rush rush assignments both individual and grp... and hopefully later i got time to study for the tests that are coming up. hmmm .. good thing is at least for NIE students, our examinations end early. most of us shld clear our exams by mid Nov.. haha

i guess i can use that as a motivation yar.. haha suffer now, enjoy later. yes i shall. Mid Nov, when most of the NTU population r not done with their exams. then i shall laugh at them now.. hahaha...

no i will not be that bad =)

to make things better, i heard that 2 of my english courses that we r taking are actually not counted into our GPA.. they r just in essence just a course with a pass or fail grade. hmmm.. interesting, i totally did not know that until recently. haha YIPEE!

i cant transribe for nuts.. n phonetics kills me...

well hall life is well.. as it is ... yar..
dun tink wanna say much abt it... but lets just say things r rather lukewarm.. haha
got this strange feeling of feeling err... hmmm a bit off..
like no heart.. also dun know why... hmm shall reflect on it and see why i m feeling the way i m feeling..

oh on a side note.. i have came to realise ppl will kinda say anything just to hide something from you and its best not to probe, so yar...

********

to be frank, got alot of things on my mind but cant really find someone to say it all out.. kl is in aust now.. so oh wellz... i also wanna ask a particular someone a question.. but i cant seem to find the guts or the chance to do so.. which irritates me

*******

Canoeing well is going ok.. training is intensify.. and the stress and worry of not being to cope with canoeing and jcrc and studies is very real, esp when u have frens telling u to quit one for another. so far, no trouble from the dislocated shoulder, so shall slowly up the level.. haha..

ok bah.. got to sleep.. time still got project.. and all that shit..

Frankly speaking...

2009-10-13T03:14:00.002+08:00

i know i kinda promised i will blog about happy stuff.. n trust me when i say there r many happy stuff happening..

but it seems life is well nvr dull.. and it can get very shitty at times..

sigh...

i mean it suddenly feels like i m all alone.. n theres so so very much work to do.
it does not help that for various irritating reason i cant ask ppl for help.. but then again i chose this path so i really shld not b complaining..

just that sometimes.. it really sucks.. as in the benefits is being shadowed by the shit thats happening..

nonetheless as i always say.. i will find a way.. even if that means blasting my way thru.. sighz

feel damm tired...

on a very not so random note.. i tink first thing for any relationship to take flight is to have trust. trust is like super impt.. well at least for me.. with trust anything can b done..

n i guess one thing that really really irks me is when trust is broken..
i mean i had my lessons on trust way way back in those young days.... and i tot i learnt my lesson.. but oh wellz..

sometimes even i forget some things i guess.. the feeling sucks

anyway a fren of mine, 8 years and counting, said something to me regarding frenship.. and now wit wads happening in sch/hall..

i tink i finally realised something... that frens of a few weeks cant and will nvr replace those forged from 8 years...

sigh..
the feeling sucks... it really does..

yet somehow or rather i dun wan such things to happen.. i really wanna give the chance for new frenships to grow.. but yet...
well.. stupid things just happen.. and it really sucks..

and it pisses me off...

thus.. i must say.. i apologise to my frens of 8years.. all of them... i think i kinda took your for granted... which shld not be the case..

i m sry ...

ARGH!

********

note to self: i will not feel this way tmr... or rather when the sun shines..
must smile..

what will we be remembered by?

2009-09-16T11:12:00.003+08:00

ok.. so its being a few days since my grandfather's passing.. on tuesday after lessons which ended at freaking 530pm.. i took a cab n went all the way down to Sin Ming Drive to attend my grandfather funeral..

i must say the feeling was strange.. there was a mixture of sadness, lost... then some regret.. n then a whole lot of worrying...

the truth is i m not that close to my grandfather (mother's side).. but i know he always dotes on us.. n that my mummy loves him dearly. which is why when the news first came.. and the news came on monday straight after my canoeing training as i was walking back to hall to prepare for the jcrc campaign thingy.. i did not feel sadness at first.. the initial thought was how was my mummy holding up...

i was worried.. and was prepared to go to NUH to b with her. Mummy called and kinda told me not to... and of course she was describing to me abt how my grandpa waited for her to come b4 passing... strange if u tink of it.. ppl waiting to see someone b4 they go.. hmmm

anyway.. so i somehow still managed to live thru a jcrc campaigning n dinner.. n then a whole day of schooling b4 rushing down to the place.... i can only say thank goodness there was no competitors or well i really dun know how i might fare...

but anywayz.. the whole affair was sad and well awkward.. with waves of different types of emotions flying everywhere.. coz my uncle was still angry with my mummy for somehting which even i also dun understand... but yet grief for my granddad brought them tgt.. but wadever.. it was awkward..

so yar.. we kinda had to see the coffin... and sigh... alot of things came to mind when i saw my granddad lying in that coffin... i know his last days were those of suffering.. but yar.. i tink u got to go thru it in order to know how it feels like..

n the feeling truly sucks...

and like i say i was worried abt my mummy's mental health... knowing her always being the 'strong' one.. but yar.. i know she has been crying.. yet it is also hard to go up to her n comfort her.. coz like yar.. sigh...

so things went on.. with all the ceremonies n ritual n prayers... n then cremation on wednesday..
oh which i rushed down from Mandai to NIE to attend lessons.. now i know some wld day i shld have stayed on n b wit my mummy... but i dun know lah.. this wk is like so crucial wit assignments n briefing n wad not...

i had to weigh my priorities... n come to a compromise.. i know some ppl wun agree with me... i know some wld say .. no matter wad reason. nothing is more impt than a close relative's funeral.. but ... i did 'send' him off.. anyway.. that kinda sucks too.. having to consistently tell myself wad i m doing is right.. seriously lah... what the shit!

so yar after the cremation was a long day of wednesday... kinda managed to survive thru the day.. but those thoughts kept on returning to haunt me. trust me when i say the feeling was very awful.. wad makes it even worst i felt was it was hard to tell anyone... hard to explain this part.. but yar...

thought it wld b best to just have some 'me' time.. but well thats kinda impossible lah.. with JCRC rally n election n assignments to hand in.. so i kinda just allowed my busy life to distract me.. i know i know thats not the way.. but oh wellz.. it dulls the pain somewhat..

so yar rally n election came n go.. i din tink i did well in my speech.. hardly had the mental strength to really give a jaw-dropping one.. hah. yar.. sigh.. election was good.. we were elected nonetheless, i had about a 20plus % of voters voting against me.. but oh well .. i guess because of everything that was happening.. the happiness of winning jcrc din really like sink in.. it was like 'k one thing down.. next one to come' feeling..

i know i shld not be feeling that way.. but ...

anyway... so after being elected.. i feel we r hitting the floor running.. haha.. yup so the endless work carries on.. argh.. i really need sometime to just sit down n collect the pieces of me that have fallen apart throughout this whole 'passing away' issue.. blahz..

oh well.. everyone faces the same issues at some pt of their lives.. so i tink theres no pt whining abt it.. just got to move on.. no matter quite hard..

got to keep smiling.. keep working..
and keep that mask on somehow..

********************************

not to mention theres something still bugging me.. argh!

once again...

2009-09-15T00:52:00.002+08:00

u know.. i always think life is a very funny thing..

when shit happens.. they kinda happen all at the same time..

its rather interesting...

anyway.. sigh...

i really feel i might break down anytime... just not the kind to pour my troubles onto others..
then theres the senseless need to maintain a cheery front..
it gets so tiring at times..

i suddenly miss my sji bros.....

well.. i shall rally myself tgt.. but just give me sometime yar..
i will b fine.. i promise..

like i say.. i always do find a way..

i got this feelin in me

2009-09-11T21:53:00.003+08:00

this week has been well interesting... it has managed to irritate me and excite me at the same time..

got alot of things to say.. but well dun really wanna say it out..
abit of why bother saying it feeling...

i guess i shall just use the same way of dealing with everything.. and tats to work it out by myself n somehow i will find a way.. haha i always do.. i tink.. =)

anyway.. in way of assignment.. those shitty NIE assignments are finally moving on.. haha.. i m left with just one more written assignment.. funny thats the one which i seriously dun know wad to do with.. lolz.. the rest are done n in the can, just need some refining will do..

for the whole wk.. because of various reasons has been not sleeping alot.. lolz average sleeping time was 4am plus.. thnk goodnes i start lesson late. so usually can get abt max 5 hours sleep. which is not too bad.. haha.. still able to function properly and not yet burning out.. but tired nonetheless..

thnk goodness i dun need to do my projectwork proposal liao.. one burden settled n done with. was glad that most of my grp mates found the proposal to their liking, brought a smile to my face.. haha.. i m quite pleased with my written assignments.. haha.. though i seriously dun wanna compare my work with others, coz i seriously dun wan to stress myself for nothing.. haha..

i do think i need to refine them just abit..

oh yar lastly... theres JCRC.. the hall ver. of a student council.. everything in that front goes well.. so i m not actually worried abt that.. rather i worried abt well the choice i m abt to make.. i have finally really come to the crossroad..

the JCRC way is now open no longer blurred.. and well DB way is well always opened... so.. i kinda decided by various reasons that i will give up DB in favour of Hall JCRC.. oh the side note.. somewhere in my heart.. i do wanna stay on in DB, i mean i been training for close to a mth, met ppl and made some frens.. n i liked the feeling of been pushed to the limit.. but...sometimes ppl are 'pushed' to make certain choices.. so hence i m now clearly working towards JCRC..

on a sidenote.. i still have interest in watersports, eg kayaking n db.. so in light of keeping fit n all... i m considering of joining NTU's canoeing.. where the training i heard is not too fierce like DB.. and also i feel more natural there being trained in canoeing.. lolz.. since i know nuts of DB strokes...

hopefully this will work out somehow..

other things bugs me... n well irritated me.. this wk i felt something that i have not felt for such a long time liao.. haha i almost mistaken it for something else.. but ...

i dun know.. theres so many things to tink abt.. to interpret..

"i will find a way.. or make one myself"

and so it really really begins

2009-08-31T00:51:00.002+08:00

haha.. life in uni progresses well..

work load increases.. and the number of decision to make also increase with that.. haha
the bugging issue of jcrc and db still haunts me..lolz

but i wil just let the fates decide.. for the record i m still going to go for db training.. until i make the final decision btwn db n jcrc..

well having gone for 2 sessions of db training, both land n water training. i must say db is actually damm shag loh.. haha.. but physically challenging nonetheless.. just that i cant help but feel inferior when in front of so mnay greek gods ar. haha.

anyway went for first ever db water training on sunday.. gosh lah.. totally not wad i expect it to be. ok lah, land training is still more tiring.. but water training is like so technical .. lolz.

starting i was rather confused with the strokes they were using.. then keep getting corrected by the coach.. lolz.. so for those whu thought db is just brute force, think again loh. alot of thought actually goes into planning those strokes.. quite interesting..

i guess the misconception is that when u db, u use mainly arm strength but totally not true. haha when the strokes are executed properly, i realised its actually the whole body that being used. quite cool ar.. lolz.

i think i might actually be starting to like db... sigh

well after dbing.. meet up wit lau.. went to watch District 9.. at causeway pt.. lolz i was so desperate to watch that show, i actually cabbed down to causeway pt wit lau to watch that show,.. haha

i must say i liked it, ok got quite abitof gore. but the storyline is nice, lots of thinking and metaphors. i must say the weaponery in the movie is damm cool. haha super lethal n super fun to watch. though the aliens look a bit weird but they got quite expressive eyes i thought. haha

******

well in hall now.. trying to read up on some stuff... i know something is happening tmr.. n everyone wanna give clues but no one wanna tell me the whole thing.. so i guess i will play along..

surprise and delight me bah..
haha

not to mention... i got to worry abt db tmr.. lolz

Halling..

2009-08-20T11:16:00.002+08:00

heyo world!
its the 2nd wk of NIE life... 2nd wk of hall16..

already i feel abit stressed.. haha i mean how can u not feel stressed when ppl do their tutorials b4 even going for tutorial classes... and not to mention those people who use very very difficult words when writing a reflection essay to b posted on an online forum..

gosh...

i must admit to this lah.. i was actually using a dictionary the other day just to make sure i put a few decent vocab words into my reflection. haha.. in a way its quite funny, you know a reflection is supposed to be your personal thinking, yet people (me included) are choking it with such lofty words. haha either our minds are damm complicated whereby we used complicated words whenever we think.... or well the other reason i shall not say bah.. haha

not to mention there are those who i think take very extreme stands when writing their reflection. there is this guy in one of my classes, he is so utopian thinking, always saying yes and saying its possible to achieve this and that. i myself am not that kind of person, personally i think he is alittle naive, the truth is sometimes somethings just cannot be applied to everyone... even if that something is actually good for everyone.. but you got to see the situation first.

i wonder whether its because i taught in DZPS that caused me to think this way...

then again, i must say DZPS did open my big fat eyes to many things... hmmmm

oh! and the worst thing is in order not to lose out, i got to also think or act like them. i think now i finally understand what my brother meant by university life can be rather screwed up at times. Brother knows best ... haha

******

On the other hand, its nice that the hall people are still normal. Normal in a sense that still can talk to them, make merry and have fun. although i think we are all getting busier and busier, which is fine by me. lolz... nowadays, i find myself worrying about my tasks that i left behind whenever i go for some outings. lolz. guess the pain of A levels really changed me and i am really REALLY determined not to let history repeat itself.

ok blast away all those awful memories...

if there is one thing that bugs me about hall, its the increasing talk on how to stay in hall for another year. haha. there are so many ways, some tougher, some easier and .... some are just plain crazy ones. i kind of gathered information from quite a number of people liao and i still do not know which way to go. ok i know.. those who know me well. i tend to like to gather all information before i take a step. think think think.. oh wellz... i guess time will tell in the end rite? haha

*****

as for the other things that are bugging me.. well i will tell you in person yar

oh should i go for DB training on monday?lolz... ok i know.. random

*****

ok got to go prepare for lessons and lunch!!!

Bringing back the dead...

2009-08-10T14:28:00.002+08:00

haha just realised its only a mth or 2 since i last blogged.. haha
since now got time might as do some blogging..

actually if u hav facebook... i tink everything is on it liao.. but for the benefit for those whu dun, here the blog

ok well.. as u shld all know.. i got cfmed into NIE.. passed the 'internship' in DZPS.. n so i m going on to NIE .. time to change from teacher to student =)

really will miss the peeps in DZPS.. both fellow staff and kids too.. i mean all the farewell gifts, cards and all the wise words of advice.. haha damm sweet n damm touching.

i must say dzps is really homely.. ok lah, must admit got some politics here n then (but then again where dun hav politics one).. but seriously the peeps there r really helpful.. haha the senior teachers are always willing to lent a helping hand.. n the young teachers can really b gd bitching partners =P

so thnx thnx thnx..

i wil miss the kids of DZPS too... haha.. so wad if they r not bright and not focused and all that? yes they r few levels lower when compared to those elite schs..
but...

somehow they r rather simple-minded... n well at the end of the day they r sweet things.. with gd hearts.. n are capable of doing very very ridiculous n funny things.. haha that can make you wanna vomit blood n laugh at the same time.. lolz!

so hopefully when i do return to DZPS after NIE.. i hoped the sch has not changed too much.. i hope all those frens i made are still there.. n i hope the culture does not change too much too.. =)

*******

oh wellz.. so into NIE here i go.. haha.. just went for Hall 16 FOC camp.. nice camp.. nice funny ppl.. ok lah... i only went for one camp which is this one.. but still i enjoyed myself... guess will blog abt the FOC later..

so got to make plans to shift into hall =)
SEee ya~!

I got it!

2009-06-06T01:03:00.004+08:00

thnx the heavens .. its finally here.. lolz

well i got the cfmation letter from NIE liao.. in fact its better than a cfmation letter.. its like everything.. a full package.. from the instructions to how to sign the teachers' agreement.. to the different camps NIE students go for.. to locker rental.. n to hall application also..

lolz

feel quite happy.. n relief.. i have not been forgotten.. haha..

so now i got 1000000 forms to fill up.. n other things to worry abt.. hmmm.. first i need 2 sureties or guarantors .. ppl to make sure i keep to my bond.. and hor theres obviously requirements to b met.. sigh... they cannnot both b parents.. so one of the sureties has to b a fren.. an unrelated person..

and thats worrisome.. coz i know no one that is unrelated to me.. who is not bonded to any government or private bonds.. and is also drawing a regular pay.. hmmm worrisome worrisome..

so shall to work tat out...

but thats for another day... today or actually ytd (seeing the time) i went for hall 16 interview.. gosh.. n dearest sam.. din turn up loh.. =( ...

personally i tot the interview cld go better.. but oh wellz i shall not think abt it too much... i do hope i can get into that hall.. its the best of both worlds really.. got frens in it.. n its super near to NIE too.. n also my roomie is a fellow NIE student... and yes sam is in it too... so thats a plus. lolz

hopefully gd news will come out of that...

regardless.. i m excited to finally enter NIE/NTU/Hall 16?

haha...

2 year dip ed program. yar... cross over to degree? hmmm... we shall see.. we shall see...

*******

on another note..
i hav concluded running long dist as in like 4-8km .. does not really help in 2.4km running.. so in light that i hav to take ippt soon.. i hav re-adjusted my exercise regime..

haha its now 2.4km all the way with 30s60s... lolz.. hmm i m quite confident can get back to the 10 plus minutes running time in 36SCE.. who knows.. might even get below 10mins like BMT..

but .. we shall see... bah!

=)

So far....

2009-05-28T13:18:00.003+08:00

ok well so far... i know that our P has sent in the approval letter to allow us, untrained teachers, to enter NIE... the irritating thing is for some reason, i have not received the confirmation letter..

Sigh.....

i hope it comes soon n put my mind at ease.. haha.. so now i shall wait wait wait....

*****

the last wk of school has been interesting indeed.. monday was spent in Hort Park where DZPS was there for a Maths and Science Trail.. basically they went to the park and did maths n science questions on things that can b found in the park... quite interesting

afterall the questions were planned by the teachers.. lolz =.=

the only thing was that the weather was very hot.. and everyone was suffering.. haha and the kids were well pretty much complaining abt the heat.. lolz.. also another irritating thing was that it seems the other sch in spore also chose to come to Hort Park on the same day as DZ.. so it was like a huge F-fest like that...

seas of kids.. walking around..

was quite scared will miss some kids.. and then lost them forever.. haha.. thnx god that din happen..

********

oh yar.. i also finally said my 'farewell' to 3/2.. lolz brought some food n stuff for the class.. lolz i do hope they will enjoy the food n liked the gifts.. lolz.. peeling 29 price tags off 29 pens is no joke ar. haha... oh wellz.. actually also not really leaving them .. coz july wk1-3 will still b in DZPS.. but just in case... so better give the gifts now then later.. haha

so far.. handling of the p6 classes is going well.. since its non-core subjects.. they r quite noisy.. haha and sometimes theres just no way to stop them from talking.. not to mention some of them r downright rude.. but oh wellz... we save wad we can ..

i do realise that when it comes to the topic of secondary sch.. the primary6 classes wld b more attentive.. haha so i m always sharing my SJI days.. n also letting them know wad to expect in sec sch.. haha... lolz i even talked abt NUS, NTU, NIE n SMU.. sheesh!

******

hmmmm... oh yar recently finally played badminton after not playing for like decades... haha played with zul in DZPS sch hall.. lolz..

shockingly it was fun n tiring sia.. we played for 1 hour i tink.. n we were like sweating.. but all smiles.. lolz.. din play pt until the end... it was an interesting match.. played until we reached 7-7
then we got chased out of the hall coz they need to close it =(

but it was fun... damm we shld have started playign the badminton way b4 now man.. lolz
o wellz... hopefully there will b one soon =)

A new age comes...

2009-05-19T22:13:00.003+08:00

The SA1 2009 are finally over!

now is the time for marking, norm-ing n wad not..
but amidst all this.. i also know i will b handing over 3/2 back to her original form teacher..

i just din expect it to b so sudden.. lolz

well as so it happens... on monday, i was given news that i will not b taking 3/2 anyway.. n i was given a new timetable.. so in short, i din have time to say 'bye bye' to the class or at least to give an explanation why i m going away.. lolz

quite sad ar..

so resulting in that.. i hav kids coming to me.. asking me where i m going.. if i am stil teaching them.. haha.. hence all the mixed feelings.. on one hand i feel a sense of relief.. since i tink i handed over a decent 3/2 back to the form teacher and not one that is in disarray.. also there is sense of achievement that nothing bad has happened (no one complained.. no one died =P)...

but..
also feel abit lost n sad too.. lolz like wad zul said i m not used to it.. haha not used to b wo a form class.. hehe... so now i m a 'drifter' taking non-core subjects in mutiple classes.. ranging from
p1-p6.. gosh.. wth..

i fear taking the p6.. since i hav no exp in them.. n well i tink methods of control used in p3 cant b used on p6.. lolz.. well take it as an experience.. haha..

like one of the teacher said,

i got the best of both worlds... a form teacher for sometime n a non-core teacher for some...
so i guess i will count my blessings.. yar?
=)

Backlogged!

2009-05-11T23:24:00.002+08:00

i finally finished tat horrifyingly huge pile of Worksheets.. lolz

tmr shall b a big dispensing day... giving back all those WS to the kids..

i m pleased wit myself.. coz i also managed to clear all the backlogged work.. which is good.. stupid fever last wkend really caused me alot of time..

i am resolved nvr to fall sick again!

well now that all the backlogged work have been done.. i can concentrate more on preparing the kids for the last dash thru mid-year.. worry worry.. white hairs lots lots

anywayz.. heard from some ppl that some sch have received their letter to appraise their trainee teachers.. hmm so far its all rumours n sort.. so wellz.. really hope something will come out of it.. hehe..

if it is true.. i really cant wait for the approval to go into NIE.. like some wld say.. need time to do an extreme make-over so can seduce the hoard of ppl in uni

lolz! like thats going to happen.... =.=''

one thing is for sure... i m rdy to become a student again... i have new found respect for lecturers/tutors/teachers now.. lol.. i am convincing myself to b a GOOD student when i go into NIE..

tat way whuever is 'up there' wun give me horrible students when i become a teacher =)

Mark Mark... Work Work..

2009-05-10T00:18:00.003+08:00

heyo blog!

haha..

been sometimes and well i finally got the energy n some free time to blog, afterall somethings just cant b written on facebook.

well, life at the school is going fine. stress levels raising for the teachers coz of the mid-years. sigh. there r just some many ws to mark n practice papers to mark n go thru...

its an endless cycle.

anywayz, just as i was most needed to do work, got hit by a most very lethal flu bug. here how i tink i got it. last wk, i tink i was on a bus with frens to watch xmen origins. now thru-out a large portion of the trip, there was this kid siting behind me and he was coughing. now from the feeling how the air was blowing at me, i know he was coughing at me.

...but somehow i did not want to turn around and ask the kid to FO...

thinking that the parent will b a responsible parent, i did not tell the kid to stop or cover his mouth, needless to say the kid kept coughing away for most part of the trip. sigh...

so anyway.. that night when i was back at home, i started to feel a bit fuck-ish... felt abit of headache.. so decided to turn in. and then poof! i woke up on the next morning with a crippling headache and after measuring temp, found out i got fever. not to mention i got sore throat too..

fast acting flu sia...

so mummy dearest cancelled our breakfast date... and followed me to the polyclinic where becoz of the swine flu fear, we were given the fast lane.. n i was forced to wear a face mask n was asked to wait n sit in a 'quarantined' area... lolz...

all this while, the headache was becoming more crippling... and mummy dearest was being irritating with her consistent asking of concern.

well at least i got the medicine n was out of the polyclinic fast...
but then ... the illness din stop.. the nest day, i dun know why my fever shoot up again... kaoz sia.. sent the entire wkend popping pills (hehe).. and sleeping... n i was so crippled i cld not mark anything or plan any lesson plans.

sigh!

the following wk in sch was rather horrible.. coz i had to battle the fever.. though by then the headaches were just a background pain. thankfully by wednesday, i had conquered the illness..phew...

now i m just waiting for the mid-year to be over.. then can take a breathe of slow air.. haha...the rest wk has been busy like fuck...

a constant work of giving up mock paper, doing the mock paper, then marking mock papers.. then going thru the mock papers..

gosh.. all to prepare my kids for midyear.. n i dun know if they are rdy.. some of them are so not focused.. sigh sigh sigh... nonetheless i wished them all the best...

afterall my ass is going to b screwed if they dun do well.. =P

i m tired...

2009-04-22T11:14:00.002+08:00

i tink i finally understand why last time during SJI annual parade or any Army parade.. no matter how horrifyingly bad i tink i am doing my footdrill... the sirs or encik will "Good good! u r improving."

which i always tot they r being too kind.. coz seriously although the sirs said we r finally banging tgt.. but i dun tink so loh.. it still sounds the same bird-dropping-ish to me.. haha also.. even when the sirs said we r improving... although lets b frank there is no difference at all so how are we improving?

but i finally understand why they say the things they say.. lolz

ytd.. was the first time i took part in the training of a NDP parade.. now now.. its just primary sch.. and its just Dazhong Primary School.. so there is only 1 contingent of mixed scouts n guides.. and there is only like 10plus ppl..

but marching they did...

anyway.. being pri sch kids.. obviously the standard of footdrill is err not there... but still the teachers, as in the seniors, were like praising them... saying they r improving.. until to a pt when ppl r obviously marching out of timing and the teachers still say that they r gd..

personally i was abit taken aback loh.. coz i tot its very obvious that the teachers were being very very kind.. but it seems to the kids .. that they really believed wad the teachers are saying and in a way.. by believing that they were doing well.. they actually did improve abit.. small but still improving..

interesting.... really

i guess .. the mind is really stronger than the (body?)

OK LAH!

2009-04-20T22:26:00.004+08:00

i m back.. hehe

k i finally told myself.. enough excuses for not blogging lets get down to it...
anyway seriously its not like i dun wan to blog.. haha things do happen in my life and i find myself blogging in my mind, u know thinking, "ok i m going to write .. blah blah blah." but when i reach home, its just well a bit tiring..

after i finished marking... then do some planning of lessons... and some night type out extra ws... then log on computer... go onto fb.. change ONE sentence of status... and then SNOOZE!

haha.. yup

anyway life is good so far..
march sch came n go... class lost abit of focus after the sch holi.. took like 2 days to get back the lvl of concentration..

some kids r really trying my patience.. like coming 30min late for supplementary lessons twice! and u know the funny thing was for the 2nd time, i cld see him playing soccer in the field from the classroom..

how ridiculous that was...

oh wellz.. anywayz.. everyone is working towards SA1 now.. or wad we oldies call Mid-year exams.. haha. realised theres not much time left. next wk is eng oral (or blowjob) and then its followed by eng compo... and then finally exam proper starts... okok theres still like 2 wks more b4 exam proper starts... but .,. trust me.. from a teachers' pt of view.. theres no time... seriously no time..

i tell u its karma... as a student.. i used to tink i got all the time in the world.. now as a teacher i have no time left... karma ... very drama - mama

so work work..

oh the lighter note.. i eagerly await for some results .. no i not referring to the uni entry, i seriously doubt i can get into the degree course though i tried applying again. but i m referring to the sch approving my entry to NIE.. meaning i passed my intern-ship.. so anyway hoping for the best..

of course the result i wan is to pass n go into NIE ASAP...

i wan to b a student again

hehe

also.. i do miss going out like crazy idiots wit all my frens.. haha... but nowadays the priority of sch is so much more impt.. hmmm

anyway. save money also.. kl is in taiwan now.. fighting the 'war' for our spore grand armee.. as an OCT no less.. i tink theres still 2 more wks...

missing the 'meet up n do work' outings with him... cheap n efficient.. not that i mind the outing i hav with cw, ger n ty.. so dun snap at me like a mad dog =P

boy boy boy... whu wld know the world will change so much.. i dare say it wil change even more after 2 more wks.. haha.. thankfully its changing for the better.. those whu know wad i mean.. good for u... those whu dun.. well theres a reason why u dun =)

oh and ah lam is back.. but he is acting like a celeb.. too many outings being organised in his name.. n i dun know which one to go... i tink i m being invited to 2? hmmm

confused...

k now time now to tend to my L.P n emailed it to my V.P

L.P is Lesson Plan ... not a part of the male body
V.P is Vice Principal ... not the part that separates we males n females..

hehe =)

Its been some time...

2009-04-02T10:59:00.002+08:00

haha.. poor blog has been dying for sometime .. lolz

i tink facebook is the culprit...
i mean it is easier to update in fb.. lolz.. just type a status sentence and *poof.. its out..

anywayz.. the past wks were busy busy.. suffice to say this term 2 of sch really feels shorter than term 1... everyone n everything feels so so rushed... and well for gd reason also.. sigh

at the end of term 2 is the SA1 papers or mid-year exams.. gosh and its like looming over us like a very dark shadow... thing is the kids do not seem to be affected by it.. n oh wellz.. one cant blame them, after all, wun we like that when we were kids too? haha

i just hoped .. that they will try to b more humble...
sometimes... they think they are so smart.. but they make the same careless mistakes that i keep warning them against..

haha.. kidsssss

things to look forward to.. hmm.. well its June sch holis for the long term aim.. for short term its next wk got friday holiday.. yay yay yay!.. n of course next wk got pay liao..

happy thoughts.. happy thoughtsssssss

hmmmm

2009-03-20T17:19:00.002+08:00

the hot sun...

a long road.....

2 heavy legs.....

and

the aches after.....
but with a sense of achievement...

*******

left sat n sun before sch reopens.. haha.. much work to b done now..
now is the time... push on!

The Water Expedition

2009-03-16T08:15:00.000+08:00

Last saturday which was the 14th of march, the teachers of Dazhong pri sch (well some of us) went on a kayaking trip..

haha.. how cool is that? a bunch of teachers going for a kayaking trip.. now now.. i know many of your r like thinking teachers r saggish ppl who just mark n mark... but no loh.. the grp of us that went to pasir ris park to kayak were of many many different age grp.. there were the under 25s(me).. the above 25 but not yet 30... the 30plus... and the 'dun wan to say age' grp.. haha

also majority of the teachers there were female.. hmm wonder why.. anyway.. to b frank, i was surprised at how active the teachers, i was expecting to see all young teachers joining but turned out not all of them were young.. really really admire those older teachers whu went for the kayaking..

i hope when i m at that age.. i will b just as active.. lolz

anyway the day started at like 9plus.. drove daddy's car to bukit gombak to park it at his car.. then waited for Emm and Shen Chin to arrive in their car to fetch me.. we concluded that its a waste of fuel to have 2 cars going to the same place.. so car arrived n Emm with her gps system. took us wo event to the pasir ris park.. lolz

by the time we reached paris ris park was like 930am liao.. meeting time is 10am. but of course ppl were late n wad not loh.. so shen chin was like humouring us wit his very lame jokes.. i tink its a malaysian thing.. lolz.. haha

dun b angry kl...

so when everyone was there liao..both old, young n unknowns.. it was like 1020am.. lolz.. we were late liao loh.. but whu cares. haha

went to meet up wit the Paddle Culture person.. put down our names n wad not.. ppl commenting that 'wah.. why got so young ppl one? 88 year one' haha yar it is weird to b the youngest there... so better fade into the oblivion..

so then was this very irritating briefing.. where ppl wun even listening to the guy.. basically he just went on n on.. gosh!... n he was saying all the ridiculous things loh.. completely no link one.. and we were like bitching abt him discreetly in one corner.. hehe

finally it was kayaking time.. hehe i got a single kayak.. happy happy.. now gwi was like saying why i so anti social loh.. but i m really dun like doubles loh.. haha all my doubles exp hav been very very horrible .. rmber phuket trip... haha.. anyway single more fun.. more control.. haha

so paddle paddle.. while paddling ppl r like bitching.. shouting.. talking.. shen chin n Emm were like super slow.. haha.. Jeslyn(god ma) was crying to rest.. but still trying... haha.. gwi n her partner sook peng were like the fastest pair.. n mr yan(the other single kayak) was like paddling abit, then sagging, then paddling.. haha.. i tried it later n found out.. yar actually wo paddling the kayak will also move due to the helping current..

the paddling was fun.. for everyone.. haha.. quite an exp too.. the river in pulau ubin was a killer.. since the current though helping us was abit strong.. so ppl cld not make change course fast enough.. haha we had ppl flying into fishing boats.. or ppl fighting with the mangrove trees.. haha.. gwi n sook peng actually capsized.. lolz.. coz both of them leaned to the same side to dodge a tree.. n thus they capszied.. haha..

funny...

on the return trip.. the seas became rather choppy.. coz we cld see it was going to rain liao.. haha.. quite fun.. very exciting.. coz the waves were like lifting my kayak up.. haha.. and i tink becoz of the choppy water.. our formation of kayak was like spreading like dun know wad like that.. until everyone was like super far apart.. and the guides din do anything.. tsk tsk

we stopped at a Kelong at the half way mark.. thats when i realised i m stil super sucked at balancing loh.. haha had difficulty balancing on the kayaking to go up the kelong.. had super scare when walking on very narrow planks of kelong.. again had difficulty going into the kayak from the kelong.. haha

my legs were seriously vibrating ar.. gosh!

thankfully all of us reached shore b4 the heavy rain came.. haha lucky lucky...
aha funnny thing happened when bathing. apparently shen chin n I took so long to bathe, all the gals were rdy liao. lolz.. kena bitched by them.. but oh well wad to do 'got image to maintain mah...'

haha

dinner at IMM was fun.. gwi was on high.. taking photos.. very very random photos..
nvr knew i wld hav so much fun with teachers.. lolz

after the whole thing i still had to go home to drive the car to fetch my dad at rochor place.. gosh where i got lost n had to do parellel parking.. sheesh..

that story i wun write here.. it boils my blood.. haha

*********
oh wellz.. i must say here though... becoz of the kayaking thing. i din go for my class outing.. n i m probably been pmsed at this moment.. sry to all .. =)

hmm i make it up to u k.. i so so promise i will got for audrea's dance concert...
ps dun b angry =)
***********

for the rest.. do look out at fb.. haha
hopefully the kayaking n IMM photos will b out soon.. lolz

The meeting of my life

2009-03-15T21:56:00.003+08:00

last friday was a most wonderful time for teachers of dazhong pri...

ha!

it was the parents teachers meeting.. or called Parents' Night.. lolz

anyway its like a start of the year briefing for the parents... not really a real parent teacher meeting.. but come on lah, the parents did not come all the way to sch just to hear u give them a briefing...

they wan to talk to u one on one.. grilled u until u become extremely crispy.. haha

thank the heavens.. my parents were quite nice.. then again my students r not really the problematic ones.. there r naughty ones, irritating ones.. but no attitude problems one.. which is good.. phew..

anyway.. some parents do make some quite big demands.. haha but then again i guess being a parent that wad u do.. afterall i understand their worries for their kids..

which parents do not want their kids to do well.. haha..

the meeting went well generally.. thing was the parents do hav alot of qns.. lolz.. n so the meeting was dragged for quite long time... haha felt so sry for some of the parents whu had to wait so long.. nonetheless none of them pmsed me which is thnk you thnk you!

and so far i got no parents insulting me... phew!..

most actually said i looked very young... i do hope they reserved their judgement for a while.. haha..

the next big worry now is mid year exams.. afterall the mid year exam or SA1 is recorded in record books.. so gosh... and if my kids do not improve i will die... the parents will rain fire on me... they definitely F-ed me like nobody's business.. so of course i m quite worried...

since my kids can sometimes b so so arrogant... haha..
i do hope when the SA1 comes... their grades better improve.. haha.. if not seriously ar.. gosh josh!

but oh wellz.. no pt in worrying for something thats happening in 3 mths times.. i shall concentrate on the task at hand.. which is to teach the kids the new topics for the 2nd term...

so wish me luck.. hehe

oh gosh....

2009-03-13T15:38:00.002+08:00

totally. seriously. bad luck.

haha thats i will describe ytd meeting wit cw.. so many things not working loh.. damm irritating ..

seriously f.y.i the roads in orhard... in the city is a mad rush... a very screwed up F-fest!

thank god i survived... quite scary actually coz i was feeling damm tired n was like losing focus.. lolz

and the next most irritating thing is my home pc is suddenly acting up... i tink it going to die soon.. sigh.. knowing mummy, she wld probably get me to pay some.. sigh.. i just hope its not all... and i really wanna get someone to extract the files stuck in the old com out... coz there r so many impt files in the old pc.. photos.. letters.. things..

argh!

oh well.. in abt less than 3 hours theres going to b the Parent Teacher Meeting.. gosh..
and all the teachers r like sharing their horror stories .. OH NO!

but but on the bright side.. i am going for kayaking wit the teachers of dazhong!.. LOLZ..
can u imagine that? teachers going kayaking?!?!?!?!

haha... well it will either be extremely fun or quite awkward.. lolz..
we just see... haha

hmmm but then theres class outing... hmmm hmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm

i got a feeling chase might scold me very very very soon =P

hey shoo... hey shoo!

2009-03-11T08:20:00.002+08:00

heyo world..

haha.. i m back once again..

anyway now i m blogging from the staff room.. since there seem to b no time at home lolz..
the irony...

ok anywayz.. i had my first parent meeting session with one parent.. lolz i had the butterflies in my stomach when i did it.. haha felt quite nervous before meeting the parent.. but she turned out to b nice lah

thing is when i first opened my mouth, i used english to speak (obviously...) but turned out the parent or rather mother can only speak chinese.. of course i mentally slapped myself coz afterall the kid is from China so hence the mother shld b from China.. haha

but u see, the reason why i tot she cld speak english was that when we made the arrangement to meet up, an english-speaking person spoke to me, naturally i assumed that person was the mother.. turned out that person was actually the mother's lady boss.. ha!

anyway the session went well, except the occasional times when i was trying to find the right chinese words to use.. haha.. thankfully the mother was understanding n din insult my butchering of the chinese language.. hha

like i told ppl.. i spoke more chinese in that one session wit her than in an entire year.. lolz!

ok lah.. the mother was supportive of the kid.. supportive of me too.. she even praised me.. i know i know got some ppl will say she is sucking up but i choose to believe she meant wad she said.. after all she dun seem to b that kind of person..

and u know lah... some people can b so so obvious..

oh wellz.. i do hope all the next few parent meeting sessions will b that smooth sailing.. the next one is on friday.. friday night.. lolz when i got to meet like 20 parents of my kids. gosh

hopefully no one scolds me ar.. i was advised its better not to b too frank to the parents.. frank yes but being too direct can set off some very very 'protective' parents..

haha.. well like i said.. time to turn on the charms..

*gives smiles

and then there were SEVEN ...

2009-03-07T23:14:00.002+08:00

well well well.. today was indeed a day of days.. haha

the sji old gang outings of late were getting rather degenerative... haha either they have too few ppl where theres alot of talking.. or too many ppl where talking is so boring.. haha

so today was very different indeed.. haha

instead of the usual 4 ppl (ed, kl, cw n me)...

we had ppl from like from the far side of spore - gerald... we had our very long lost fren - jeremy how.. and even the high grand tall bitch - tengyi came.. haha

so we had 7 ppl... wow

and so there were Seven...

it was fun.. n different.. we actually played lan.. lolz.. and ty even left later than usual... playing Left 4 Dead.. cool game.. funny funny.. with screaming ppl... n blur zombies... n of course flaming molotoks... haha

most of the time the fire fucks us... then the zombies.. =P

oh wellz.. it has been a long time since we met up wit so many ppl.. i do hope its not the last ar..
*hint hint.. esp that tengyi... haha =)

*******

ok now i better start on my error analysis of the CA1 papers.. gosh.. and to think the marking part of the papers is the easy part.. the error analysis is so gosh gosh sheesh.. haha
work work.. busy busy

goooood morning..

2009-03-04T06:15:00.002+08:00

sheesh.. i got to wake up eariler today just to switch on my computer to receive an email..

sigh...

so irritating loh..

*******

anyway i marked finish my class 3/2 eng CA1 papers liao...

hmmm.. only 1 person got band1.. most got band2...
gosh.. i tink i expected too much from them..

oh wellz.. no pt worrying abt that now... just got to concentrate on maths now..

come to think of it.. i got to see their parents soon...

NOOOOOooooooOOOO

now to turn on the charms liao.. haha

ok here we go...

2009-03-01T11:54:00.002+08:00

alright ar.. after resting for 2 days.. i tink i rdy to use my voice again.. yes it sounds less than normal but at least now i can talk..

note to self: dun shout.. just talk loud..

anyway the coming week is CA1.. haha.. bet alot of teachers r stressing up now.. me included.

i just marked my class 2nd mock CA1 English paper and well yes most of them improved... but out of so many of them.. only 1 got band1 which means he scored 85 marks n above.. sigh.. the rest scored btwn band2 - band3...

ok lah.. most scored band2..

but then ... they r supposed to b the 2nd best class.. and like wad 3/1 teachers lay hua said to me.. "your class should b aiming to score band1 while mine must aim to score above 91marks" aiyo!

i can only hope that the mock english papers r harder.. well almost all the eng teachers r saying that the mock papers r harder.. so oh wellz. hopefully thats the case loh

i really really want my kids to do well..

......

anyway.. sometimes i also wonder if i expect too much from them.. i hope not lah.. hahah

********

on another note... u know when u were in primary school, usually after doing an exam paper and u have like damm alot of time left. you have alrdy checked your paper like 100000 times and u still got lots of time left. now u r a primary school kid, u wun just wan to drop your head down on the table and rest, so in order to amuse yourself. u start to play .....

play with wad?

play with pencils, pens, eraser.. haha... rmber rmber? esp the boys, will take the pens and pencils and imagine they r rockets or big space ships.. and then they will have their own private space battles.. haha... and sometimes even got sound effect.. haha... some even better will have such strong imagination that they will 'build' a catapult using ruler n erasers.. haha.. and imagine they r fighting some siege.. lolz..

so cute lah.. to see all these kids trying to amuse themselves while waiting for the time to pass by...

of course they should b using the time to check n check their work...
but they r kids afterall..

i really think its damm cute.. haha.. and to think we all used to do that... when we were so so so young..

so young...

lost voice...

2009-02-27T10:38:00.002+08:00

'Hello... have you seen my voice?'

sigh.. i m losing my voice .. dun know why.. i tink i caught a flu bug, since i m like having blocked nose and the sorts.. but somehow it does not feel like a flu..

anywayzzzzz... ytd gave the class 3/2 their mock CA1 english paper.. and got ppl do so badly loh.. sighz.. the whole night i was like feeling so F-ed.. haha.. so today when i came to school, i was like asking around and the teachers were like saying 'dun worry... its a hard paper... ' i was so happy when i heard that loh.. lolz.. at least that means they got hope in doing well for their eng paper..

btw did i mention before.. zul is very very ridiculous!!!!!

=)

ok.. anyway since i m like losing my voice, later for classes i will b giving them another CA1 english paper to do.. give my voice a rest...

thnx to all the ppl whu gave all the different medicine and all that.. haha.. so nice of them..

funny thing was i did not think of taking mc yet.. sheesh.. i guess i really view the kids as being quite important.. afterall to be frank if the kids do well.. i will look good too..

next week is the reckoning week liao... hoping for the best..
lolz.. 100% band 1!!

=)

deep in the cold office of the school

2009-02-26T11:21:00.003+08:00

hehe.. finally after a very long time, like 2 months, i got my lap top loan from the school. now at least i can do some IT work during my free time or at least log onto to MSN when i m free.

lolz

so now i m blogging ... in the office.. within 6 more mins i will have to go up to teach. will be giving the kids a CA1 english paper to do, and tmr need to return to them to go through. sigh so rushed. so go home tonite got to do alot of marking... haha

i do hope the class will do well in the CA1

anyway i m very worried abt my class. they r 3/2 .. second best class, and according to the other teachers they r suppose to get band 1 .. all of them.. omg lah.. how can all of them get band 1? i seriously dun know. of course the thing i asked myself is whether am i doing a good job. i personally think they wun b able to get 100% band 1 as a class... but all should b getting band 1 and 2 ... but then.. sigh.. dun know if i m aiming too low...

either way.. i do hope no one fails

anyway the other bigger worry is the english CA1, i know my class is good in maths.. but for english.. well i dun know lah... haha english is always hard to gauge.

argh!...

oh well.. bell just ring.. got to go....

The silver lining...

2009-02-23T22:19:00.003+08:00

Its Monday.. haha gosh.. the start of the wk again

This is also week 8.. the week b4 week 9... and wads so special about week9? Week 9 is the CA1 week.. so week8 is like some spamming of revision and last minute squeezing in of knowledge..

afterall.. knowledge is power

anyway.. so rush rush.. got to give them mock test papers... then need to go thru somemore.. wah lau .. seriously.. haha

and i m personally quite worried for the kids... i m of course scared tat they will not do well and tat would equate to me actually not teaching well enough. sigh!

oh on the other hand, today i watched another soccer match.. very nice and thrilling sia. ok a little fyi, DZPS lost a critical game so now we are just playing for 5th or 6th position. yes 5th position has no medals but like what the coach say must lose with pride... so although we r fighting for 5th position also must put in our best.

so anyway DZPS was going against Princess Elizabeth Pri. and both sch r obviously dying to win. we scored the first goal and then thru a penalty kick Princess scored their first goal... now by then there was only like a few minutes left. so basically all the DZ teachers, including myself, were like shouting like dogs... telling the boys to do or die trying...

and suddenly it was like a surge of energy went thru out boys.
like bloodlust like that...

and they were trying for every single ball, challenging the opponent. It was desperate i tell you, because even if we drawed wit Princess, we would hav lost coz of the pt system. so anyway it was thrilling.. haha

and ...
and......

at like the last minute or so...

DZPS actually scored ... lolz..
so in the end we won..

haha i cant imagine i would get excited over a soccer game.. but yar seeing the boys play.. i m quite happy.

pity they did not play that well in the previous games.. thats the only regret...

Wad wad wad WAD?@!

2009-02-22T22:53:00.004+08:00

Wad an interesting week i must say.. haha

first of all.. finally the class 3/2 is getting it tgt, personally i feel happy wit myself.. i have managed to merge the both classes in terms of lessons in a short of period of 1 wk.. thnk the heavens.

i was getting worried coz CA1 is coming up.. and it is very important i get both classes on the same track. anyway so yar, also i managed to control the class too.. and that always makes me feel happy.. haha..

now i always have a wave of helpers coming to help me carry things.. quite cute i must say.

anywayz.. last friday was Scout's founder day... and although i am no longer a venture scout.. i am a scout teacher in charge.. so the rest of the scouting teachers were telling me it wld b quite cool to wear my uniform. at first i din wanna wear, since the pants is huge.. but in the end i was like wth lah.. and i wore it lolz..

naturally comments flew.. most of them good =)

it was an interesting feeling seeing the scouts doing the scout pledge.. reminds me of how sji scouts used to do it too... like i said to kl its interesting to b on the 'other' side now..

so friday came n gone.. many irritating things happened .. i shant say more.. suffice to say it has nothing to do with the kids.. but the others .. sigh

oh.. on friday also the senior soccer team of DZ lost to Fu Hua Pri.. we were errr trashed i tink.. personally i feel our attacking was fine.. since there were times when we actually breached their defenses only to b stopped by the goalkeeper whose artillery kicks were rather deadly..

sadly our own goalkeeper.. was well not so gd lah.. and of course when our defenses were overwhelmed.. well lets just say he din manage to catch the ball.. so well bottom line we lost. and gosh! the boys were crying.. felt quite sad for them too.. although i m not their soccer teacher but i know how it feels to lose.. lolz.. horrible feeling..

but kids being kids.. within a few minutes they were playing with each other in the field.. hmmm.. haha

so friday went.. and saturday came.. and i went to Unity Pri for some Scouts Founder's day games day .. we decided to take shifts.. so i got the last one.. 2pm to 5pm.. at first i tot it wld b weird.. but it turned out to b quite fun.. the teachers there were funny and sociable.. and they were very interested in me when i told them i used to b a venture scout from sji.. haha..

and yes some of the scouters knew the ppl from sji too.. haha

after chatting for a while wit the teachers.. i went to find the DZ team.. lolz.. those kids are very gd and nice.. haha .. they know how to behave well, unlike other schools who were so naughty.. lolz!

followed them thru some of the games.. taught them a few tricks.. haha..

in the end.. Dazhong team got 3rd out of like 8 schools.. and dun forget some schools sent more than 1 team ar.. also also i must say this ar..

DZ team only got 5 ppl.... yet they managed to defeat teams of 8 and more.. and of better schools.. truly shows there r underdogs around.. lol..
i dun know why... but i feel proud of them all.. lolz

the bus ride back was interesting too.. since the kids were like talking so much.. haha.. they r really nice .. i was like 'selling' sji to one of the p6 kid.. gosh cant believe i was doing that.. haha

anyway.. some of the kids were even nice enough to walk me to the bus stop when we reached DZ.. now that really touched my heart

haha!
*smiles

Another Contact Time meeting

2009-02-18T14:17:00.002+08:00

heyo!

i m once again attending the contact time meeting for all teachers.. yes wit shamini.. she likes to see her name on this blog =P ..

zul as usual has managed to escape again, coz of soccer matches. quite irritating ;)

anyway... i was thinking just now why is teacher's meeting called contact time.. hmmm u see when u r bored, the mind thinks alot.. ok random.. *yawns mentally

the person talking now is rather boring... of course i cant say much or else will get into trouble heheh.

suffice to say.. ppl r either marking hws... or just staring into thin air =)
oh oh.. the principal and vice principal is not in the meeting, so everyone is hoping they can leave eariler. haha!

i m currently eating sour grapes to stay awake.. haha..

gosh! the person drawing so horrible... oh yar its some comic lesson..zzzz

ok lah... stop blogging for now.. sham is fallin asleep liao.. ha!
zul i hate u! =)

Aiyahhhhhh

2009-02-16T23:14:00.002+08:00

today was the day of many changes in DZ.. haha

well first up i m now taking over the whole of 3/2. yup sham has gone over to a primary 1 class and she is quite wrathful about it.

i m also feeling quite screwed since suddenly i hav 29 little devils instead of 14. haha and the irritating thing is since the 2 halves of the class were being taught different things, now i have to waste precious time 'merging' the 2 halves of the class. Not to mention winning the hearts of the other half of the unknown 3/2.

Sigh!

and as usual, lessons plans are being thrown out of the window again. i dun know, it can get quite irritating u know, prepare finish everything and now all have to change, but i guess as teachers we must be flexible. i shall take this as an learning exp.

on another note, i m worried i m unable to finish the eng syllabus by CA1, so with this class merger, i really dun know how i am going to do it. seriously got to 'merge' the class and then quickly get on wit lessons.

gogogogogo!

sometimes i just wish the school gives us a bit more preparation time. haha

anyway.... one more thing... for 5 weeks now, i m going to be temporarily loaned to the school band (omg!) .. coz apparently band needs teachers while scouts dun need.. so for 5 weeks i m going over to band.. sheesh man!

even CCA also dun let go =(

i rmbered our TPP lecturer once said "other ppl's job is 8-5, they go off work and that's it. your job is 8-1, but when you go off work, you got tons of work to do.. marking.. setting paper.. CCA... your job never ends."

and of course that comes the most famous advice to all new teachers "dun give out your handphone number to your students!"

AIYAH!!!!

Of many small dragon dumplings...

2009-02-14T13:32:00.002+08:00

yesterday evening went to holland village to eat this steamboat buffet with unlimited flow of xiao long bao with the army guys..

haha..

it was only like 24bucks.. and u get to eat as many small dragon dumplings as u want.. lolz. of course after a while, the dumplings can get quite grossed esp after sitting at one corner for quite sometime. lolz.

apparently if u let the dumplings sit too long in their basket.. their soup inside the dumpling will dry up.. and of course then it would not be that nice. However, although it was a buffet and we expected the dumplings to be of a lower standard, the shocking thing was that the dumplings actually tasted as gd as any other 'paid' dumplings.. lolz.. looks like crystal jade really upholds its name.

even more shocking is they will change your dirty plates for new ones, without even you having to ask them. now thats service.. haha.. oh oh and the refill of drinks is also very frequent, they have ppl walking around with jars of drinks, sometimes you dun even need to call them and they will come to you.

good service...

so for a lower 20plus buffet.. it is not bad.. oh the steamboat is also quite decent lah.. no seafood naturally, but theres a 100g of fresh prawns for each person.. which is about 3 prawns per person. And the prawns are really fresh loh.. haha.. big n succulent too.. haha

good food, good topics to talk about, good prices and good company....
now thats are truly nice outing..

the topics talked about were quite funny lah.. with junior telling us about 36SCE.. and seniors saying all about their lives.. working in the admin side.. teaching in school.. giving tuition.. and the sorts..

thank god got no whining ;)

oh btw if your really wanna go for this crystal jade buffet.. its better to book first because the amount of people there is like omg-ish.. it starts at 830pm and ends at 1am.. haha..

be warned though... booked already still need to wait for like 20mins.. coz well.. its that popular. =)

The 'Adventure' Camp

2009-02-12T22:03:00.003+08:00

ok world.. haa i m back.. lolz

from monday to wednesday, dazhong pri was having a P4-5 Camp ar the MOE Diary Farm Adventure Camp, which is of course at Diary Farm that area.

in fact its like opps one of the entrance of Diary Farm. anyway, as much as i wanted to go for the camp, i could not stay for the whole 3 days. reason being that i m not a pri4 or 5 form teacher, i m a p3 form teacher so naturally i got to look after my class and cant go for the whole thing loh.

which got me quite depressed because i really want to go out n see the sun again.. haha

but thank the higher-ups.. on the contact time meeting in the week before the camp itself. Ms Gwi informed me that i would be going on tuesday, one whole day, doing dragon boating. lolz.

quite cool ar..

of course the thought came to mind how the hell are primary school kids going to row a dragon boat, afterall when i was in cjc and we had dragon boating... things din go tat well.. lolz.. but nonetheless i was excited to go and come on lah.. can get away from school.. of course happy lah =P

the trade off so to speak was that on monday n wednesday i have to take the classes of other teachers whu r going for courses or for the camp itself. therefore i had to give up my form class back to sham.. which is quite omg-ish.. coz i actually planned alot of things for them to do.. interesting things too..

but as what mrs mine said "welcome to the real world, it happens..."

so chaos reigned on monday, since the admin side also told me abt the taking over of classes in the morning of monday!!!!!.. so rush here n rush there.. printing worksheets for my class so tat they wun rot during sham's relief sessions lolz.. and also rushing to the different relief classes..

oh oh.. and i finally took a p6 class.. HORRIBLE sia.. lolz.. quite the weird kids, damm rude. so i had to shout at them, bring down their ego but saying that my p3 class can behave better than them (which is quite true).. and put on a very very strict face. of course the loud voice helped... see short ppl like me always gets underestimated.

well feel my wrath... =)

lolz anyway i went out of pt.. so yar come tuesday i went straight to Diary Farm Adventure Camp, reaching there at like 815am.. felt good because can wake up abit later.. lolz.. met zul who kindly brought me into the camp. Now the DB was at Kallang so we had to wait for the chartered buses to come first. while waiting i explored the campsite wit zul loh..

as usual zul was soaking up his fan club's energies.. lolz. while i was just walking around. generally the camp is very small, compared to saribum scout camp or even OBS camp.. lolz just a few clusters of building and thats it. The bunks of the camp staff, including teachers, are so-so.. something akin to SAF bunks... but theres an air-con room wit tv n the sorts which was quite nice.. haha..

so after exploring.. we had our share of bitching wit the teachers.. and they r 10years older than us.. lolz!.. quite fun really.. quite enlightening too.. for obvious reasons i cant say what we gossiped abt lah .. ;)

now.. off we went to Kallang to the Singapore Dragon Boating Association.. where we dragon boated.. haha.. it has been quite sometime since i had the sun in my face.. and felt tat sore feeling in my arms n shoulders so it was gd!

lolz.. most of the kids were good sports, splashing water when 'enemy' dragon boats passed by.. and rowing with gusto when racing.. of course there were some really really whiny kids, who sometimes remind of some ppl =P. these kids really whine like dun know wad.. haha. water splashed into their eyes.. they wil cry n cry... row abit then say tired.. say tired nvm leh.. the worst thing is they left their paddle in the water, slowing ppl down.. omg lah!

baby sia... and they r p5 ar.. so its quite bad...
i still stand by the thought that parents nowadays do pamper their kids abit too much...
oh wellz..

overall.. i had a fun workout.. though felt quite depressed after going to DB, coz the dragon boaters there do look very very big.. lolz.. tall also lah.. so hmmm.. cant really see myself there.. =(

anyway.. there was a comment made by one of the dragon boaters there.. male dragon boater btw..

dragon boater: Oh my.. they are so cute (referring to DZ kids).. so small.. so cute

when we heard that.. this was our respond

Us: wait till you teach them... *smiles

haha..

anyway i went away from DB wit a slight tan so i m a happy man.. lolz..

oh later in the night was a campfire.. but theres not much to talk abt it.. except that it went quite horribly.. was boring.. and basically the kids were sleeping alrdy.. and those parents.. haha its like controlling a mob..

they are so determined to see their kids.. a human barricade also cant stop them.. for reasons unknown, we, the new teachers, were the barricade.. n we had to explain to the parents why they cant see their kids yet.. thnk goodness no parents forced their way and were unreasonable..one did comment i was very young.. dun know whether to beam or sulk.. haha

********

anyway throughout my short stay in the camp.. i had experiences of kids crying and begging for home.. this caused me to think and rmber if i was like that in p5.. memories seem to serve me that i went for camps in p5 n 6.. and yes i did miss home.. and yes i cried in my sleep once or twice.. but nvr had i cried to a leader or teacher and begged them to let me go home.. hmmm

neither did mummy dearest encourage me to go home...

are kids this days really that pampered.. hmm i wonder...

hello from the meeting..

2009-02-04T16:03:00.003+08:00

hehe.. i am now blogging from the contact meeting rm..

its quite boring to b frank.. haha the principal is talking and he is not making much sense. =.=

anyway, today is dazhong's senior soccer's team 2nd match and it is currently going on at our DZ field.. lolz.. yup all the teachers r in meeting n our sch's team is playing.. sigh tot it was quite ridiculous.

oh wellz..

hopefully the school will win..

haha and oh btw.. the principal is still talking n talking n talking...

oh oh.. the news just came in... DZ soccer team scored 2 goals liao... haha the opponent sch which is Nayang pri din score a single goal yet.. =)

n the principal is still talking..... and there is still one more presentation to sit thru..
sheesh!

ok better stop typing.. haha ppl looking at me liao,,, and sham is being rude,, she keep staring at me.. =P

she just called me 'stupid' =(

HA!

curse u .. u damm corn!

2009-01-31T12:25:00.003+08:00

i m a happier man now.. haha

some background info: for 2 months or so, i have lived with a corn growing in the sole of my left feet. although it hurts sometime, i still found the will to walk, stand n run too. i have nearly exhausted all means of self-medication to get rid of it, so it was getting a bit hopeless. haha. so i was almost resigned to let it stay in my feet.... but in recent weeks, there was a surge of pain in that damm corn and yes because of that, my mood has been abit sour and of course my leg was like fucking pain.. haha. so i finally decided to go see the polyclinic doctors...

and so...

anyway on thursday after sch, after acting busy for like one hour, i went to the cck polyclinic to see the corn on my feet. haha. the pain caused by the corn was nearly crippling, sometimes during lessons, it would get so pain i had to sit down on a chair in the middle of the class and continue talking...

so unglam...

so made the decision to go polyclinic to see.. since its supposed to b cheaper. so being polyclinic got to wait damm long. so while i was waiting did alot of marking, haha, marked my pupils hw until i fell asleep... can u imagine that? lolz

so finally went in see the doc.. n frankly i was quite embarrassed because i was wearing my black leather shoes so of course when i took off my shoe n sock.. it would b abit smelly loh. haha. but the doc face was straight.. professionalism.. anyway he was like 'that looks quite big... there are medicine, creams for such things but for such size.. i tink u go to specialist better.' i was like ok... since u said so.. so he gave me a referral letter to NUH to see some derma spec.

and yes even for the medicine (which were painkillers only) and the taking of the NUH appointment card took 100000 years to happen.. haha. but finally got everything and i nearly tripped myself when i saw the NUH appointment date. it was on the 27022009. omg lah!!!!!!!!!

270209 is like one mth away. the thought that i will be like so dead n crippled came to mind. so tried calling NUH to push the date forward but typical as it is. date can be changed but only to a later date, not eariler.. so abit stupid rite?

sheesh!... sigh.. so go home.. n bathe n then after drying up n walking back to my room, i realised my corn had actually bursted... if that is even the right word to use.. haha. but pus was coming out, so i started to squeeze out the pus and as i squeezed i realised with pleasant surprise that the corn was growing smaller n smaller n was not jutting out that much.. haha.. and i could walk normally to a certain degree. hehe

but the pain was still there.. then mummy asked abt the appointment n she was like totally shocked when i told her its 1mth later.. so she said go private doc and that she will pay the fees .. hehe .. so of course i said ok lo..

so actually i just went to see the private doc.. once again waited damm long.. gosh. once inside, he did some minor operation and was giving me a lesson on corn. lolz din know corns were actually caused by a bacteria. hmmm... interesting. i tink he was trying to make me feel less scared coz he was using a scrapel to cut into the corn... sheesh.. thank god i felt no pain...

so he gave me cream to get rid of blister which actually formed at the edge of the corn.. n he gave me another cream for the corn bacteria itself.. haha..

of course now i can walk normally wit little pain.. but the amt of money sent is quite abit.. sigh nearly 100 bucks.. but i guess for health theres no choice

i do hope i nvr will have a corn again... cursed damm thing!

Come what may... we must teach...

2009-01-30T23:50:00.000+08:00

Come What May (the spore teacher's version)

Music

Never knew i would feel like this
like I've never handle kids before
I want to scold you upside down
make white hairs groowww more and more
Listen to my voice
Can you hear me or not
Telling you to hand in your homework
Periods may change
but you must still hand in
your homework
Until the end of time

Come what may
I don't care
I will chase u until my dying day

Suddenly staff room seems
such a perfect place
Suddenly i bitch with
such an easy face
Suddenly my life
doesn't seem such a drag
But our world revolves around you (students)
And there's nothing more important
Then you all, my kids
Cry out our names
and i'll be there by your side
English or Science
Maths but not Chinese
I will help you until
the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will help you until my dying day

Oh my goooooodness
What the hellll
i wanna slappppppp you
but you're so cute
Suddenly all things seems
to fix perfectly

Come what may
Vomit blood
I will teach you until my dying day

*****

haha.. i m starting to like editing songs.. this is one is 'Come what may' from Moulin Rogue the movie.. nice show i must say.. anyway its edited to fix the teaching profession..

enjoy n hav a laugh

Happy Chinese New Year!

2009-01-26T12:34:00.002+08:00

heyo to the whole world...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

oh well its that time of the year again. lolz..

all those visiting n dinners n also the collection of hong baos...

this year's reunion was once again conducted in another language so most of the times we younglings were just smiling n nodding at wadever was being said.

though it was supposed to b an happy occasion.. most of the talking seem to b about the ailing economy.. lolz..

wad a damper.. seriously

and it affects the collection of red packets tooo... haha

errrr...yes.. errr.. *laughing

2009-01-24T11:06:00.003+08:00

u know.. when i first started doing this teaching thing at DZ pri sch. whenever my frens asked me what subjects i will b teaching, i would always jokingly say 'Sex Education'...

u see it was meant to b a joke...

but life is weird.. and seriously have a way to make things come back at you. lolz. the past week, i was doing my first Health Ed for a pri5 class and gosh! guess what the first few chapters are abt... haha

they were about puberty. lolz. wad was meant to b a joke became real, and my god, it was weird. wit kids saying rather funny things abt where the hair growth will b .. sheesh.. but as always i kept my 'teacher's face' on... n soldiered on, telling them all abt puberty. i now know how do teachers feel when they were talking abt such things with us. there is a real urge to burst out lauging whenever private parts were mentioned.. so omg-ish..

haha.. thnk god i was able to control the class.. and there was not much ridiculous laughters.. it was a weird lesson but rather amusing too. try saying things like 'girls, your chest will develop. meaning it will start to grow bigger.' or 'hair growth will occur in your arm pits n private parts too.'

yes.... very very interesting..

haha

the PE lesson was interesting too.. played captain's ball. we got my PE class (5/4) to play against Sham's PE class (3/2). ok i also got teach 3/2 maths n eng so it was quite cool to see both classes fight it out.

it was fun.. well hopefully the kids had fun and of course there was a lesson to b learnt from everything. for that PE session, the lessons learnt were abt teamwork and having good sportmanship. haha. thnk goodness, the p5 were more matured, i m so proud of them. they would apologise immediately if they accidentally hit someone.. phew..

coz some p3 kid actually cried when he was shoved.

but crisis was averted when i got the p5 kid to apologise to the p3 kid and being kids, soon they were playing like nuts again. i wanted to seriously play wit them.. lolz.. but i tink abit unfair since i m relatively tall compared to them... so ended up being a referee. haha

but still had fun..

playing captain's ball.. just bring back lots of memories.. hmmm

wad a half a wk..

2009-01-21T19:40:00.004+08:00

well its the wk leading to chinese new year and i very need that break. haha. not really a break from teaching, i kinda like the feeling i get when i teach but more of break from waking up so damm early. i tink for this whole 6mths plus of trainee teaching, i will whine most abt the early waking up timing.. lolz

in addition to waking up early, i can officially say that our end work time is also getting longer n longer. this is due to meeting and ccas, damm it! haha. ok lah though i whine abt the late ending of work, i am quite willing to stay behind in school, lolz, because most of the time also got so many things to do. need to mark books, worksheets and not to mention plan for the next day's lessons.

and sheesh i really suck at planning the lesson loh.. haha.. i dun seem to b able to follow wad i plan.. which is quite irritating. so things get pushed back n back. hmmmmmm. need to do something abt that soon, or else i will surely die one.

strange thing is i m actually starting to like CCAs.. lolz. the kids can see another side of me and i can also let my hair loose for a while.

monday was the friendly soccer match btwn Dazhong pri n Campara pri(dun know if spell correctly). both junior n senior teams played, the shocking thing was i was actually getting excited abt the game. in the beginnning was a bit conserved but at the end i was like shouting ... haha.. zul n shockingly sham were all wit me watching the match. sadly for the junior match, we kinda got trashed 5-2 i tink... sigh.. quite demoralizing ar, and the thing is the goals were all really stupid mistakes.

and that, coming from me a soccer noob, speaks ALOT!

thnk goodness, the senior team we won 4-3. haha ok lah got abit of luck n all tat but we still won. haha! it was exciting... n all thnx to zul explaining to me certain rules of the game.. haha =P

following monday was tuesday.. when i went for my first scout meeting.. GOSH!.. basically the scouts unit is very very small. haha.. there were only like 12 ppl whu attended the first meeting. 12 ppl is like only abit more than a normal patrol in SJI scout unit.. lolz. n the thing is i rmbered back when i was a cub scout in BPPS, there were like close to 8 patrols of 10 odd ppl... so DZ scout unit is small... n mayb abit unpopular.. hmm

but the malay scout mistress was quite funny. she is new.. so she got ambition which i liked. i mean i also wan to do something to the best of my abilities so i kinda told her i will support her. haha. hopefully wit my scouting exp =) can contribute quite a bit.. n mayb make scouts just like celeb cca in SJI... lolz yar rite...

but it was fun at the scouts meeting.. got this very funny n cheeky p6 kid whu is like super confident n high flyer. he is in the top class, is smart, is a prefect, is a sch soccer player n also a scout. n is relatively well-known too. haha but he is damm naughty.. so yar.. but brings colour to our lives i guess. haha. he can lead n he is not a bad kid. so hopefully wit the scout mistress n i n also zul can mayb like turn him into some inspirational model of scouts.. haha

wish me luck yar?...
cant believe i actually dun mind staying in sch all the way until 6pm..

A gathering of the minds...

2009-01-18T12:12:00.003+08:00

Yesterday night was i think the first time in a very long time tat our whole gang of sji friends actually managed to meet up for something. haha

the whole gang being ty, kl, ger, cw, ed n of course myself.. haha.. fyi to all it has been ages since we last met up as an entire group. most of the time, someone will b busy n so it was quite a miracle tat everyone was present last night.

haha.. and for a gd reason too. since ytd we celebrated kl's bday, his 21st bday(actually his bday is on the 19th jan but we decided to do it eariler). haha. ok lah, it was not like fireworks n all.. n no sisters too. it was just a simple walking around, eating dinner, playing lan(gosh) n lots n lots of talking. haha.

we got kl a R.L polo shirt n a bday card wit all our personal messages... he said he liked it all.. haha hopefully its true ar.. lolz..

if its not.. also dun tell us pls.. =P

thnk goodness cw brought his camera along.. so for once we cld take photos during our outings.. haha. we took alot of grp pics.. hopefully can get them soon to upload.

sad thing was that ty had to leave early .. lolz.. he zoomed off after dinner n much talking. but was fun having him. lolz we were all saying tat we dun usually see him tat often, hopefully wit the end of his NS (which is soon), we will b seeing more of him. haha

remember tat pls tengyi!

so basically after dinner n all those talking.. n after ty left us.. we went to play lan.. gosh josh.. it has been ages since we last played lan tgt.. had some funny moments.. shouting n all tat... but generally i hav to say it was not tat fun anymore.. lolz. strange to think of tat, coz we used to live n breathe DOTA on lan.

oh wellz time has changed...
somethings change for the better...

while some ppl just get more n more ridiculous...hehe

Save us all...

2009-01-17T23:50:00.001+08:00

of late i realised something is happening to us.. Us as in we the trainee teachers of Dazhong Pri Sch...

we r slowly but surely becoming the 'zombie' perm teachers of Dazhong..

NOOOOOOooooooOOOooooo!

u see.. although it has only been 2 wks.. our timetables hav changed drastically.. we no longer have that many free periods liao.. since either the free periods hav been changed to lessons wit other classes.. or we r being hunted down to do relief teaching for teachers who go MIA. lolz

becoz of having lesser free periods.. it is now nearly impossible for us to see all 3 of us in the staff room during office hours. the best is just 2 of us r free at one pt of time. like on wednesday.. we din even see each other from morning all the way to the end of the sch day...

OMG!

haha.. also the workload is increasing n increasing... to a pt where.. during a 1hour break.. we only spent like 10mins talking.. n the rest of the 50mins is spent on total silence doing our work, like marking stuffs or filing things or planning our next lessons...

like wad sham said.. 'we r becoming like them'
haha... of course waking up at 5am plus everyday n reaching sch at 640am plus is not helping either...

gd thing is at least we r still leaving school earlier than most teachers, (most of them leave at like 6pm) .. so thnk the gods for small favours.. =)
i hope tat nvr change sia...

i swear i wun change into one of the zombies.. i wun!

'Take back the city for yourself tonight
I'll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa whoa...'

why u ridiculous slut!

2009-01-16T19:52:00.000+08:00

aiyoyoyoyoyo

as your know.. or probably will know.. teachers hav to take up CCAs too, as in they do not do the CCAs but more of supervise the CCAs..

so anyway.. at the start of my Dazhong teaching life.. i was kinda like given scouts without much of a say. not that i hated scouts or what, just that i hav been in scouts for close to a decade liao. It is time to start a brand new start.

however i was more or less resigned to my fate...

then at the last teacher's meeting b4 the start of sch, i was told tat i will b in soccer instead. haha. i was so hyped up over it, haha, finally doing a sports CCA... n afterall Dazhong (only) pride is soccer so i was more than rdy to take it up as my CCA. as i was abt to settle down to the hectic life of being a soccer teacher (soccer is on 2 days- every thurs n fri)... they suddenly told me that i was to go back to scouts.. which is a bit omg-ish..

the thing is.. n i really wanted to say over on my blog.. is well... i cant say in on my blog, since the whole world can read my blog.. haha

suffice to say.. i din hav much of a choice...

the only comfort i can hav is tat at least i can stil help out in soccer.. so oh wells.. i take wad i get bah..

irritating nonetheless..

some ppl just love to twist ppl's words.. tats all
*******

on another side note... though that particular CCA news kinda spoilt my day.. certain things do make me rather happy.. haha

one was the confirmation tat we, as in the trainee teachers, wil finally b getting our own classes. on one hand i m like scared.. but on the other, i m excited at taking a whole class by myself and teaching them core subjects. being a form teacher is very different from being a subject teacher. personally i tink as a form teacher, its easier for u to mould the class to your ways..

another thing was my mentor, the Eng HOD, praising me... but tats a small matter.. lolz

n lastly although sometimes in Dazhong... the students can b abit omg-ish... on fri (or was it thurs), some kid from a relief class tat i took came up to me, shouted my name (as in Mr Wu) n gave me a hug.. lolz..

i know there r some out there.. whu wld say he is just a kid.. but honestly i tink if a kid is willing to hug u, he must find u to his liking.. afterall he is a kid, not some double faced young adults ar.. haha...

anyway which make me think of saying this to all:

kids have the ability to make your blood boil and yet melt your heart too..
=)

wad in the world...

2009-01-15T18:29:00.002+08:00

ok its nearly the 2nd wk of teaching in Dazhong.. n we finally found the prefect timing of the bus to take.. lolz..

for your info, for days, we hav been experiencing the prob of getting everyone on board the same 188. 188 is the only bus that goes through all our bus stops. Since my bus stop is the 2nd one after the interchange, i cld always find a place in the bus. zul also usually can get onto the bus. howevee, most of the time, when the 188 reaches sham bus stop, it wil b so packed... the bus wun even stop..

n of course sham is left vibrating her lips at the bus stop.

so finally after much experimenting ... we hav found the right timing.. abit early but still right. lolz. apparently the 0620am 188 will always b a long, bendy one.. so tats mean there will b more than enough space for all 3 bus stops.

thnk god.. lol... of course tats means got to wake up like at 5am.. which is abit.. OMG!
but at least we reach sch like super early....

like wad we say.. 'we come to sch early but we leave sch early too'
ha!
******

today was also the first time my mentor and i gave our p3 class a composition to write.. gosh it was quite a blood-boiling experience ar.. haha. bascially just to get to the pt of writing their own compo took like 3 lessons.

tats becoz got to go through their grammar ... their sentence construction .. and even hav to guide their thinking... n show them a model essay. did like 100000000 explanation just to get it into their head. even after handling all the 'techical' stuff, when they finally start writing.. u got to then teach them how to paragraph... why is there a need to paragraph.. n then got to teach them to leave a line btwn lines when they write... gosh! even telling them to write their names, dates, class n titles was also a very tough job...

thoughts of whether i was tat bad in p3 came to mind.. hmmm

anyway just very very irritating.. lolz.. not to mention some kids r just plain rude..
i tink today was the day when i shouted the most lolz.. one kid during PE lessons even said to me tat it was my fault that he din bring his PT attire coz i din remind him..

wah... i hear alrdy... gave him quite the scolding there...

oh wellz..

Photo Update...

2009-01-10T12:57:00.002+08:00

k got some new photos.. they came quite sometime ago.. but i din hav the time to upload them.

this is the photos from the 2 cohesions i went to... all of them were wit our juniors from 36SCE..
one is the movie outing.. n the other is the more recent BBQ.. haha

so look under the 'Look into my Life' section for the photos of us being crazy n retarded:

The 36SCE Junior n Senior Cohesions

i am a survivor!

2009-01-10T11:46:00.002+08:00

i hav concluded after 1 wk of doing teaching: waking up at 530am every morning can b bad for my health.. haha

i dun even wake up that early for army lah... sheesh!

gd thing is i m sleeping earlier, so i guess at least the clock in my body is functioning properly. i m finally following the sleep early, wake-up early type of life.. which is fine by me coz anyway in uni life wld b like that.

anyway 1wk has passed... n this mth wun hav pay yet, got to wait til feb then will have.. sighz
the army guys would hav gotten their pay liao.. damm it!
so got to save save save... money getting tigher by the day... not to mention bus fare can b quite draining ar.. haha

luckily got shamini n zul at Dazhong.. fellow trainee teachers.. i tink we laughed the loudest in the staff office.. bitching n insulting each other.. n yes we all complain like dun know wad.. n laughed at the silly answers our pupils gave us .. thnk god for them, or else i will like die.. haha

ok.. its the wkend.. now to sleep longer.. n rest... another wk is coming

i wan feb to come.. need the money!

good morning Mr WooooooooOOOOOoooooo

2009-01-08T20:50:00.003+08:00

yup tats how my name sounds like.. haha u know how we as students like to drag our words when we greet our teachers? haha now i m exping it first hand.. of course got to correct them but as usual they forget it soon after. kids lah, wad u expect? =)

still.. its quite funny n on the first day i struggled to maintain my straight face.

rule no.1 of teaching: nvr smile to a new class.

so hard not to.. haha the kids r so cute n yes very small .. haha.. i mean i m teaching p3 n p5.. n the tallest is like at my hip area.. hha..

but they look so cute..

of course alot of shit happened.. but boy the exp was fun n yes enriching.. i wun tell your everything, i m too tired to type it all out in this blog, will just share wit your in person. Suffice to say, i do some actual teaching by myself for non-critical subjects (social studies, PE) n teach wit a mentor teacher for the critical subjects (english n maths). Actually most of the time the mentor teacher is the one tat does the teaching coz ultimately the class performance is joined to hers n not mine, so usually i just assist her n observe n learn her diff teaching methods. My mentor teacher is the english head.... so not bad lah, can learn quite a bit from her.

i hope one day she will let me teach her class =)

anyway... i tink i like teaching.. haha.. abit early but i got a feeling...
oh btw though the mentor teacher does the teaching, i do the marking ar.. so oh gosh.. haha

k back to work now, still got 4 more books to mark.... wad a waste of red ink..
n still got to wake up at 0530am tmr.. oh my god!

here goes...

2009-01-05T21:42:00.002+08:00

the 2nd day of the trainee teaching preparatory course was well shockingly quite funny.. haha

i mean there were still all those stupid lectures.. but the hands on was more..
the mock teaching session wit some of us acting as teachers n some of us as very difficult students was most enjoyable..

i do hope no bad karma come hitting us tmr.. haha

the ppl i met were all nice.. haha... will stay in contact.. afterall we all in this shit tgt.. lolz!

tmr is the day...
only one thing to say
'damm fucking scared!'

haha

*note to self: if ever a student say 'Mr Wu, Fuck u!' i must nvr say 'well fuck u too..' ... i must say with a calmed voice 'u will not take that tone of voice wit me boy!' n hope tat my death stares r enough to kill him =)

wake up wake up!

2009-01-02T21:22:00.002+08:00

omg.. i better get used to waking up early every single day man.. haha

woke up at 6am today.. devastating to my body n mind.. haha
ok lah i might hav woken up abit early .. but oh wellz first time going to the training center mah.. so better to go alittle early.. haha

oh fyi.. today was the 1st day of work.. but i din go to the sch ... instead i hav to attend a teaching preparatory course at the MOE's training branch which is like somewhere in the Great World City area.. sigh...

the course was boring.. in short.. haha
at the start, our instructor was funny wit her many jokes n her many many life exp of teaching...
she is 71 but she looks 50 plus... serious...

but after a while.. she kept talking n talking n talking... n gosh the lecture was like dragging damm long lah... haha but at least it was rather interactive in a way..

but still.. the whole thing was boring... had to force myself to stay awake at times..
thnk god the table i m sitting at got nice ppl... n we got along quite well..

for a time.. i was worried abt lunch. haha but in the end our table ppl had lunch tgt n other table's ppl also joined us.. so got quite alot of chatting.. the gals talked abt the teaching jobs, n life b4 now.. while the guys mainly talked abt army stuff.. duh?

anyway monday stil got one more day of course training.. sigh.. hopefully can sit with the same ppl again.. haha =)

maintaining the image....

2008-12-31T15:13:00.002+08:00

finally went to DaZhong for their first official teacher meeting, settling all the admin stuff such as time tables n all tat.. n doing all the things tat hav to b done by the 1st day of sch..

cant help but feel a surge of excitement.

anyway we, as in the trainee teachers, got to meet the whole staff n it was quite cool.. haha cant believe i m saying this.. but the rest of the teachers r nice.. n the old ones were like hovering us, giving us advice, n generally taking care of us... while the younger ones were like bitching wit us, telling us whu is weird, whu is nice n whu to watch out for.. haha...

i guess teachers r humans afterall...

i was assigned to b a form teacher of a 4.3 class... tats mean the 3rd pri4 class.. haha.. they only hav 5 classes of pri4, sheesh!.. like wad my 'co-tutor' said they r not spectacular.. but they wun b much of a trouble.. they hav potential but they r quite lazy... hence they r like middle middle.. since according to my co-tutor, the intel gap btwn the top classes n bottom classes can b quite vast.. so hmmmm..

sadly there was some cock-up.. n now another older teacher claims she is the form tutor of 4.3.. zzz the thing is the timetable of tat class clearly states tat i am the form tutor... even my co-tutor says tat i m the form tutor.. but oh wellz... since i hav no intention of offending anyone .. i decided to just let the higher-ups settle it.. haha..

though up til now.. i also dun know wads going to happening on the 1st day.. i do hope i get a form class though.. hehe.. .. anyway i wun know until like the 3rd day of sch.. coz the 1st 2 days, all the trainees got to go for course.. so heres to hoping all goes well.. haha

*******
on another side note.. its the last day of the year.. WOW!.. haha how time flies..
i tink another thousand blog entry is coming.. haha
i can feel it... =p

Do u speak English?.. U know english? English? no? yes?.... hmmmmm

2008-12-28T23:23:00.004+08:00

for days.. after kl asked me this simple qn of english of whether i know wad a preposition is n i cld not answer him coz i simply did not know the answer.. i hav been wondering quite abit..

so i find myself revising basic english to myself, knowing a verb, a noun, a pronoun, an adjective, an adverb... the list goes on n on.. omg lah.. haha
ok dun laugh at me ar.. i know alot of ppl like you n you n you also dun know wad the fuck some of the things are... so let me explain the definition yar..

A Preposition - a word used with a noun or pronoun to show its connection with another word.
examples- he is in that rm, he was fucked by her

A Noun - a word that is the name of a thing, quality, action etc etc and can b used as the subject or object of a verb.
examples- dog, cat, car, penis, vagina, sex, thrust, semen..... n so on

A Pronoun - a word used instead of a noun.
examples- he, she, it, they

An Adjective - a word which describes a noun.
examples- black dog, brown cat, big car, huge penis, tight vagina, hot sex, weak thrust, sticky semen

A Verb - a word or grp of words tats used in describing an action, experience, or state.
examples- cleaning the dog, feeding the cat, driving a car, he put his penis into her vagina, that might lead to sex, it was thrusting her, the maid was cleaning up the semen

An Adverb - a word which adds to the meaning of a verb, an adjective, another adverb or a sentence.
examples- clean the dog tomorrow, drive the car slowly, that might lead to sex quickly, the maid was cleaning up the semen there

A Conjunction - a word to link other words.
examples- please clean the dog tomorrow and also remember to feed the cat, although he had put his penis into her vagina, his thrust was still not good enough for her, while the maid was cleaning up the semen, they were still thrusting away

ahhh so concludes english lesson no.1 n bio lesson no.999
=)

Same same, but different

2008-12-27T23:24:00.005+08:00

omg the past few days must been quite the mad rush.. haha
rush to meet ppl, frens n all tat.. n rush to meet my further boss.. haha

first up is well i finally got a one-on-one meeting wit the principal of DaZhong Pri sch which i rushed to.. since i was going to b late..

fyi i m becoming a trainee teacher, starting 2jan, n i m posted to DaZhong Pri Sch
dun laugh!

anyway.. so got to meet the principal n vice principal of the School.. the meeting was supposed to b 230pm.. n i reached early at 215pm coz i took a taxi (must set gd impression mah...)..anyway the principal was late until very lipu ar.. he came only at like 3pm.. which is quite wtf.. in the end, to occupy myself, i walked around the sch.. n tat was when i realised the sch is seriously damm small.. u can literally see one end of the sch to the other end.. that is how small is it...

if u take the sji campus, u can probably sink 3-4 DaZhong in it.. gosh josh.. small.. n rather old too.. anyway so the principal, high lord as he is, came at 3pm there abt.. by then, the second trainee teacher had arrived also.. so we both had our meeting session with him n the vice tgt... yar quite screwed up.. the geez of the meeting was seriously 'i dun know!' .. haha.. nothing much was told to us.. n the most useful things done was assigning us our ccas n giving us our tables. gosh!

i telll u ar .. the cca is damm fuck typed lah.. din even hav a chance to say anything. lolz.. i shld hav shut my mouth abt that i was a scouts when i was in sji.. coz becoz of tat.. the principal gave me scouts as my teacher -in charge cca.. sheesh!

no.. i do not wan to b a scouter... no NO!

so we seriously just got shoved wit our ccas.. wo a choice.. haha.. the other trainee teacher had indian dance n she was not very pleased wit it either. since she is a contemporary dancer.. lolz!.. but the vice principal keep insisting on giving her indian dance.. coz she is an indian.. i know .. abit errr... haha..

at least the fellow trainee teacher, shamili, i tink.. was funny n sociable so managed to talk quite abit.. n bitched too.. haha .. cant believe it rite? we will bitching abt the sch even b4 we teach in it.. haha.. n i was seriously bitching abt the fact that i m being given a class all by myself from the first day of sch.. god save me sia.. i feel quite fucked.. but on the other hand.. i dun know if its a blessing.... hmmm... i mean there r gd ways to see it, being given a class all by myself, at least i can sort of do wad i wan.. wo someone breathing down my neck.. but i dun know lah..

scaryyyyyyy
haha

at the end of the whole thing, we din get to see whu the 3rd n last trainee teacher is.. dun even know if its a she or he... hmm hope its a nice she.. mayb chinese or mixed blood.. lolz!.. ok lah shld not b so racist ar.. anyway i wonder wad the last trainee teacher will tink sia when she/he sees the great sch of DaZhong.. haha

on the other hand... the ppl in sch does seem nice.... at first glance..
so ohwellz....

******
well the days b4 n after the principal meeting were filled with things to do.. meeting wit sji guys.. meeting wit sajc mates... n going shopping with mummy.. haha.. quite abit of rushing here n there... n also watched movies too

watched 'The Day the Earth stood still' n 'Australia' wit sji ppl... n watched 'Yes Man' wit sajc mates..

'The Day the Earth stood still' was quite wtf with imbal robot guardian whu can sonic shock everyone n shut down everything mechanical.. n also can dissolve into millions n millions of metal bugs to devour ppl, things n everything.. haha.. 'Australia' was one mother fucking long movie.. haha, at first i tot it will b like pearl harbour, but turn out Australia is more like a very huge love epic wit some action scenes.. personally i liked it, nice story really.. very funny stuff like nicole kidman trying to sing some wiz of oz song .. haha... n the celeb scene was her screaming her head off when a kangaroo was shoot dead in front of her .. HA!... As for 'Yes Man', the whole movie was funny... i mean jim carrey .. lolz wad do u expect.. but the thing i wil rmber is the old grannies giving jim carrey a blowjob.. haha

grossssss!

oh n did shopping wit mummy.. haha actually scouted first wit sji frens. then coz got some DBS/POSB discount.. so got mummy to come wit me.. haha... brought the office wear for the sch teaching lol.. 3 long sleeves n 2 pants.. din managed to get the white striped shirt that i wanted.. dun hav my size =(.. damm it.. the G2000 shop at marina sq was like swarmin wit ppl lah.. n ppl trying their clothes in the changing rm were like taking so long.. got a few guys, they changed liao then show their female counterparts(mostly look like mothers).. so it was like change, show, change, show.. gosh take so damm long.. haha

but in the end time well-spent... i hope the colours r ok.. lolz!

here goes Mr Wu... hha

I blah blah blah...wadever...With my Life!

2008-12-24T16:02:00.003+08:00

Few days after the phuket trip, it finally dawned on me tat well.. i m out of army.. haha.. gone!
somehow when u r on holiday u tend to not tink abt such things...

but anyway i m happy.. happy to leave the Service.. but i must say i seem alittle lost ar.. haha afterall after 'acting busy' for so long, i finally found myself wit quite a bit of time on my hands.. n at last this time is mine n not controlled by some other higher beings.. nor am i at the mercy of LKY/LSL/GCT when they feel like taking a piss outside their hse

haha dun sue me pls.. =P

yar but i guess the Army did give me a bit of structure in life.. since theres always something to do, some conflict to resolve, some crisis to avert n some misdeed to cover up.. haha...........

******

Army for me started 2 days after my Prom Nite.. haha..2 fucking days!. yes it was on the day 8th Dec 2006, prom was on 6th Dec 2006.. why was my enlistment so early.. well for those whu dun know (n i tink i hav repeated myself alot of times liao).. due to the efficency of the army.. i was drafted into the obese company.. yup on grounds tat my BMI was too high.. duh!

anyway... admist all the vibration of lips n mayb flamming ones.. i entered the Service a wk earlier b4 anyone of my batch actually entered army.. hhaa gosh josh!... felt very saggish on the enlistment day, i was there when my bro enlisted so i knew wad to expect but well it was diff when u r the one enlisting..

i cant imagine anyone will b excited to enlist.. but oh well.

so after doing everything.. all the stuff n the swearing of my pathetic life form to the grand armee of spore.. i tink we had lunch, saw my first form of army wayang n then b4 long it was gd bye to mummy dearest at the SAF Tekong jetty ferry terminal.. n boy felt extremely fuck typed at tat moment.. haha.. n as usual mummy was tearing up n abt to cry.. n well tat brought a break in my heart.. seriously.. cruel government!.. haha..

anyway decided to leave fast.. so as to end the torment.. n well like i always think 'just get it over n done wit'.. so zoom zoom off.. leaving mummy there.. n puff! into the world of army i go.. i rmber my first PS at the obese Dragon coy was a malay, nvr did rmber his name but i rmber he was very bitchy.. strict but seem nice in a bitchy way.. it was there when i met PY's student council fren, Alfred, i tink.. dam nice guy lah.. haha .. n it was nice to see a familiar face..

so the first nite was spent shifting around.. turn out this shifting was not uncommon as the 'D' coy CSM said tat some of us grow smaller while some larger.. hence the shifting.. it was at tat time that i knew tat obese has its diff grades, 'A' Coy for Mild, 'D' Coy for Moderate and 'E' for Seriously... in any case i was one of those whu r deem smaller so i was shifted to Alpha coy. Alfred stayed in Dragon if i m not wrong so i lost a fren just like tat.. haha...

at 'A' coy, we were assured tat there wil not b anymore transfers so sagging our way to our bunks, we started to unpack.. in my bunk, i met Cedric, a TJC guy.. abit weird but funny nonetheless.. haha.. i seriously cant rmber much of wad happened in 'A' coy coz i din spent much time there... coz soon after we started arranging our lockers.. a call from the PA system called some ppl n me included..

at tat pt of time, i was wondering wtf was i being called upon

in the end, we received information tat we r due to a medical review... n well to b up-pesed from pes BP(fat) to the normal pes B.. honestly i felt happy .. haha coz tat means i m no longer considered as obese.. haha.. but then tats means i hav to pack everything again.. so pack pack pack.. said gdbye to cedric whu i actually started to like as a fren (in my later army life, i wld see him again)..

n then it was sagging around doing nothing while waiting for the medical review, when we finally got the results.. we were given off-in-lieu since the pes B ppl were enlisting later.. so we had like 3 days of free days.. haha aint tat great?

anyway the 3 days passed quickly.. n it feels weird anyway...

but soon it was back to the army.. n into Pegasus Company... where i wld spent the rest of my recruit life there... time spent there passed more quickly than i tot, almost like a blur .. haha

there was live range when i got to fire a M16, where i almost got coy best shot but missed out by one shot. lolz!.. n of course there was field camp n SIT test whereby my lips vibrated n my body rotted. it was during such outfield stuff tat i realised tat i doubt i wil survive in a forest environment.. haha.. i say now tat i really hated outfield.. n hope wit all my heart tat i wil land in an urban ops unit.. i mean rewearing the muddy uniform n having to wear that irritating helmet... n the bugs.. omg!.. cant stand it!!!!!

anyway.. i guess becoz of such thinking i kinda sucked quite badly in army.. lolz.. afterall most of time i felt quite saggish n was more than happy to let someone else take the lead.. n yes sometimes mother nature just takes it out of me.. sigh.. in addition to tat, i nvr did hav the heart to improve my ippt.. haha.. in the end of bmt, i still cld not do a single pull-up.. n the only thing i really excelled in was running.. but well u cant pass on tat alone.. suffice to say, in the end i failed my ippt.. n well tat was something i will regret even til today....

2 things happened towards the end of my bmt.. the release of our A levels results n well the failure of my ippt.. both concluded tat my life is seriously going to get very very fuck typed.. n well it did in a way i guess..

though i m fine now.. but i still really wish to turn back the hands of time ...

anyway.. so of course i was posted to become a Man, no sgt or sir for me.. haha.. on the other hand, almost as a consolation, i was posted to 39th SCE, which was my bro's unit, it is an urban ops unit, one tat takes care of spore chemical defence n does anti-terror stuff too... i was temporarily happy.. n for a while the feeling of being crushed flowed away.. made quite abit of frens there, marcus, chin han mainly... the sgts were nice.. n the sir was well nice too though reminded me of my bro.. haha..oh n i did my first ever pull-up in 39th sce... time spent there was fun n the exp rather rich.. the knowledge learnt during the lectures n practical was well very interesting.. haha.. n of course whu can forget the smoke chambers.. anyway all gd feeling faded away when i realised that i was not a pioneer of 39th sce..

fyi, a pioneer is a name given to a Man of 39th n 36th sce. main job is to support the commanders in wadever they do, usually they do more work than the commanders but get less credit for it =)

yes in fact, i was actually posted to 36sce, while 39th sce deals with chemicals, 36th deals with explosives... hence the nickname bomb squad...

b4 i entered the unit, my bro n quite a no. of ppl were telling us soon to b 36th SCE pioneers that 36thsce was a very strict unit, with very high standards.. n tat the ppl r very nasty.. n tat we got to learn how to drive.. n tat the unit is an ippt gold unit.. n tat .... the list goes on n on n on... not to mention ppl telling us that the camp in which 36sce is stationed is very very old n extremely run down compared to seletar camp.

in any case nothing nice was said of 36th sce except tat it was a more elite unit compared to 39th sce..

gosh..

so it was wit a little fear tat we left 39th sce.. n went all the way to Selarang camp, all the way on the other side of spore from my home at cck.. yes selarang camp is at pasir ris.. =.=''

when we first saw the camp, we were shocked.. at the start we were wondering if we saw the wrong camp coz it looked so new.. so new indeed.. upon closer inspection, we realised tat 36th sce was inside the 9div infantry camp.. in short, we r a camp inside a camp.... haha

all negative thoughts of 36th sce seems to vanish when we saw the renovated camp.. quite nice really.. then our temp CSM WO Ang came n talked to us.. n he is damm nice lah.. haha.. funny old man too.. whu kept us entertained with his jokes n wad not.. n he is very very reasonable indeeed..

n wit tat life in 36sce started.... n hence the rest of my army life too..

******
but b4 we cld start our lives in 36sce, we must first learn how to drive, since it was a requirement in our vocation to drive, nvr saw the logic of tat.. but yar..

driving course was at first tot to b very slack.. afterall it was a course for drivers, how hard can it b? .. of course first time learning driving can b hard, controlling the veh n all tat.. but stil we din tink tat it will b tat bad... tat was until we got into the drivin sch itself..

in our first few lessons, we soon learnt that the trainers in the SAF driving sch r fuck typed idiots whose dicks r too small until they got to take it out on ppl like us, of course not all r like tat, there r some nice ones. but i with my horrid luck got a very very horrible one.. sigh

my trainer was gd .. he really does deliver results.. n he is a very exp driver.. but gosh his mouth n the way he handles his students.. the TERROR sia.. haha.. everyday i get blasted by him up down left n right... felt extremely fuck typed n at many times felt like just killing him... bascially he just likes to swear at u.. scream at u when u make mistake.. n just like to pms u like fuck.. haha.. so every morning b4 driving lessons i feel extremely depressed n will start to degenerate into a zombie...

i guess it was becoz of ths fear of him.. tat i was determined to pass no matter wad.. n so in my first attempt at the driving test, i passed.. i was bleaming like dun know wad.. n literally waltzed over the waiting area.. haha...

it was like a depressing cloud was finally washed away from me =)

n with more n more of us passing our driving test.. we were given our status as 36th sce pioneers n also given our LCP rank

n well life in 36sce then took on full swing

******
while in 39th sce, everything was taught thru lectures, drills n practicals, in 36thsce, due to the fact tat we r a ops unit n we hav a high tempo of jobs, everything was taught on the job.. so for a few mths we were like a headless chicken.. tryin to figure our way out of everything.. sad to say our seniors were more than rdy to leave n thus left us rather ill-prepared.. haha

in 36th sce, my army life was truly defined.. with roles to play n jobs to do... n much planning at hand.. we forged ahead in a way.. though thru the mths, more n more ppl from our pnr batch started to drop out.. we were reduced to a mere 16-17 from a full strength of 21... but stil we managed to get things done.. at times some of the politics can get very irritating.. n at others, the ppl themselves caused me to vomit blood... n then there r the days when the paper work is rather bitchy... or on other days when ppl wan to go for offs but their offs r not approved n the world is abt to die.. n yet we still functioned.. haha

sometimes i wonder myself too.. how we did it.. but we did.. haha

of course things wld not hav been done if not for our masterful planners of duties..
the highest of highest aaron neo n sometimes daniel tsou.... n yes ben aw too =)

n things wld not hav run tat smoothly if not for all the computer systems tat our tech wiz created...
the tech wiz daniel tsou

n our veh wld not hav functioned properly or pass inspection if not for our WPT ics..
the slut queen weilun, n of course aaron neo the highest

not to forget the guys whu did fuel recepits so tat the fuel keeps flowing..
the god leslie n the fucking slack ah lam ck (just kidding)

n of course the ppl who take cares of our Stores, who if gone, how r we ever going to jump start the veh or clean them up..
the white time-keeper shuhan n the overmind yuhui

n last but definitely not the least.. the person who helped me wit the offs n leaves of our pnrs..n also does our ration indentment n takes the attendance of our dept..
the wise n agely ah wang (ben wang)

of course there r all the other rest too who made life so much more enjoyable
the 'driver' jamie whu gave us rides back home
the 'come suck my cock' parthiban whu well keep asking ppl to suck his cock
the 'i m not a bitch but i wan to b one' waikit whu is ever so funny n compromising
n the 'father' andrew whu always is the oldest n giving us life's advices

n i of course the Off/Leave IC is always at your service yes?
how can i ever compare with the highest of highest or god? haha

smiles...

*******
haha ok enough bullshit.. in a way becoz we all knew we had a job to do, we did it well.. n gd thing ppl like the commanders actually loved us for our work.. some even saying we r better than most batches..

haha.. i know whu cares yes.. but i m sure most of us felt gd when such things r being said of us..

afterall whu can forget we had 'so many' accidents at the start.. aaron even had 2.. ppl hitting barricades, ppl hitting cp roofs, ppl hitting veh.. n all tat.. the mayhem tat caused.. haha.. i rmber i felt quite wtf when i had my accident.. all those reports to write n wad not.. sheesh. but well i guess we all need a little accident to wake us up.. haha..

trust me after an accident u will b rather careful after that

well in 36sce we also get to see the 'real' spore.. haha.. secret ways.. n all that.. gosh.. quite interesting i must say.. haha .. not to mention staying in the 5 stars hotel shangrila whenever we do major ops.. haha.. i mean how many ppl actually get to stay in a 5star hotel when they r serving NS.. n did i mention we were given full treatment like any guests? haha.. cool rite?

anyway it was in 36th sce.. tat i realised shld stop sagging around.. so got my fitness up.. n thru that started to raise thru the ranks.. from LCP to CPL to CFC.. do i deserve my ranks? yes i wld like to tink so.. afterall i did my job well.. at least i hoped i did it well enough.. haha.. i ran 2 half marathon, though i seriously doubt i wil ever run a full one.. haha.. my running timing has improved (though nvr did it ever got back to the bmt days).. n of course i managed to clear my chin-ups..

n finally i can say.. i m no longer as fat as i used to b... haha.. unlike others who like to dellude themselves. i know i m not slim either.. but well working towards it yar? i m definitely more fit now.. hha.. which is seriously gd thing.. haha

i told myself tat i nvr wanna go back to those horrible fat self in the past.. n i hope i nvr will.. counting on my frens to make sure i dun.. lolz..

******
the Service did change me.. in many ways...
changed both physically n mentally...

i guess its a gd thing.. but i lost a part of me in army.. i can feel it.. haha.. i m not whu i used to b.. not as talkative i tink... but oh wells... the things we do yar?

unlike some, i actually learnt some lessons from army.. n for me i m glad to leave the service.. since i did my share of work.. in fact at times i did more than my fair share of work.. haha

i guess when u really really put in effort in doing something, at the end... u feel tat u achieved something.. of course not everyone can say tat...

some slacked their way thru army... n i pity them seriously, for they will nvr learn the lessons that we learnt...

=)

Ahhhh.. why din i tink of that earlier?

2008-12-21T23:23:00.004+08:00

feeling every other things...

2008-12-21T19:13:00.002+08:00

life has kind of settled back down to the boring pace.. haha after the 'high' from the phuket trip passed..

so now boring boring...

haha.. but i m quite ok wit it.. since in 02 jan will b starting the TTP.. sigh
feel like going back to school like that.. u know.. left less than 2 wks of holidays, then suddenly u feel the need to do alot more ...

to make time more well-spent.

but i guess.. this TTP is not like sch.. more of job actually.. n a test. so oh wells.. we shall see bah

anyway went running today wit kl.. felt saggish... haha.. din do tat bad.. just felt saggish.. haha n of course kl being the ocs slut was like speeding ahead like dun know wad.. lolz

the arguments on the way back were funny n well enlightening.. haha

yup i know random post n all.. but yar.. haha
mayb will do a army reflections entry soon.. tink it deserves that...

since army did taught me alot of things.. n changed me alot..
=)

Never knew I could feel like this....

2008-12-19T11:03:00.004+08:00

Never knew I could feel like this,
Like I've never seen the sky before

well recently i got my posting to the sch that i wil go to for my trainee teacher program (TTP).. before i go into NIE in august 2009... it is DaZhong Primary School.. its a sch in bukit gombak so i guess it is ok in terms of location.. haha i was expecting some other schs but i guess one cant ask for too much..

besides i m only a untrained trainee teacher
at least its nearby to home.. one mrt stop away.. haha

anyway hav to call the sch to ask for instructions n wad not from my new boss, who is of course the principal.. haha.. was told that need to go for staff meeting.. gosh josh... me going for a staff meeting.. a teacher's staff meeting.. can u imagine that? haha.. makes me feel how time flies by n how positions can b so swapped.. haha

wellz.. hopefully Dazhong Pri sch wld b not tat bad.. checked out the sch at the moe webby, yes schs hav their own webby.. looks fine.. they r due for moving coz of PRIME, but thats at the end of next year so wun affect me.. haha.. then again tat probably means that the sch is quite old.. but oh well.. we shall see bah

not everything is like sji yes?

We only students.. cheap cheap plssssss..

2008-12-18T11:19:00.004+08:00

well i m back from phuket.. good riddance.. just joking.. haha

it was overall a fun n very outdoorish trip, which is gd for me.. haha frankly i nvr did like shopping trips.. i tink u wld spend more money n will b like totally tired.. n not to mention got to take back alot more luggage when returning to spore..

so well amongst ppl coming late n ppl asking ppl to do things. we kinda got ourselves to changi budget terminal.. daddy fetched us so it was ok.. haha.. budget terminal is very budget.. haha..single leveled building.. lolz. but at least it still hav all the shops n eating places here ..

not as nice as t3 but yar.. its budget lah

anyway we reached on saturday 131208 late nite, around 11pm like that.. n we stayed there all the way until 171208 evening 6pm like tat.. haha

ever since reaching phuket it has been quite the mad rush.. rush to go to the beach.. rush to book the different tour packages.. n of course rush to shop..

****
thank goodness we din book the tour packages online.. if not my lips will b vibrating ar. haha.. we went to phuket n booked. n gosh josh.. the price was so much more cheaper.. since can bargain like dun know wad like tat.. haha we met a nice tour agent.. name is Lek.. lolz.. damm funny n nice. n yes she understand english.. n well got a relative gd price for 2 tours.. one to phi phi island which was island hopping n snorkelling.. n another was a sea canoeing trip to phang nga to explore sea caves.. cool rite?

of course we actually wanted to do many many more things.. like white water raft.. atv n all tat.. but no time.. haha..
but regardless we got a gd price(i tink) for the packages.. n definitely was cheaper than the online booking =p

****
the hotel we stayed in was a 3 star one .. Ochidacea if i m not wrong.. it close to kata beach.. n well is kinda at the start of the 'shopping belt' of the kata beach area.. its also not that high up the hill.. so we dun really hav to climb like fuck to reach our hotel.. though of course, we had to climb quite abit to reach our rm.. haha.. there is no lift there ar.. lolz.. its layout rdy reminds of old sajc at malan road.. haha the building built on a slope, so its kinda spreaded out.. anyway our rm was at the top of the hotel.. so we had a commanding view of the kata beach.. n well nice view.. n nice wind too.. haha.. lots of funny things happen in the rm sia.. shower head breaking twice, lolz.. n our many many requests.. haha.. we were thinking if the hotel staff kinda rmber us ..us being rm 144.. coz sometimes we dun even need to tell them our rm, and they wil know.. lolz.. but dun b mistaken, although its 3 stars, the hotel was still nice.. the staff were friendly n well very efficient i wld say.. hha.. everything was done quickly when we asked for it.. so 3stars was not tat bad afterall.. i mean it is relatively cheap too..

of course the reason they knew us cld b becoz we seem to b the only asian in that hotel.. lolz.. there were tons of white ppl... n well whenever we eat breakfast, i felt like a monkey on display.. theres always the stare n then looking away.. haha.. but i guess all was well .. at least we r singaporeans n not some other asian countries =)

oh yes breakfast served there was nice.. lolz.. the egg station was the celeb every morning.. with us eating the scrumptious omelettes like theres no tmr.. haha.. the female chef tat cooks the eggs was this rather small lady.. n she was dam shy.. haha.. but funny in a way.. anyway scrumptious scrumptious.. haha

****
talking abt food ar..the food there is damm cheap lah.. haha even eating at a high end, high class looking restaurant.. we had a feast of scumptious dishes. n we only like spent 20 singpore bucks each.. haha.. n we had like crab, prawns.. seafood the like.. n of course drinks n all tat.. haha.. cheap rite? .. n then we found a beach restaurant at kata beach.. i tink its called Kata Mama or something haha.. gosh there the food is even nicer.. n we spent like 10 bucks each, n we had more food.. n it was more scrumptious than the high end restaurant.. haha..

cheap is also the shopping i guess.. lolz.. but b rdy to bargain.. if not your lips will vibrate when u realised u been conned.. hha.. like cw n his 800baht sunglasses which cld b cheaper.. or mine 450 baht flip flop which cld b like 200-300baht.. haha.. or ed n his numerous t-shirts.. haha.. but anyway after learning from our first lessons of bargainning.. we quickly got the drift.. n well.. we were able to get gd prices for most of things.. t-shirts were mostly like 6 bucks.. haha.. board shorts mayb around 10plus.. belts was around 10plus too.. so basically everything was under 20 bucks singapore.. haha

n of course the t-shirts we brought were of 'branded' names.. but i wun tell u coz i dun wanna get insulted for buying fake goods.. haha =) actually as we were shopping we were all wondering if they were really fake or rejected goods.. but anyway i tried my best to make sure my stuff did not look too fake.. haha .. shall see bah yar..

anyway shopping in the end was very mad rush-ish .. or rather was the most rushy thing we did in phuket coz of time n the amt of stuff we wanted to buy.. bargainning was also very tiring.. haha wit all the sayings been repeated over n over again like:

'cannot cannot, too expensive.. give better price'
'half half, u want 180, we want 160.. so we take 170'
'really cannot cheaper?'
n the prize winning one
'we students, not rich.. give cheap cheap?'

haha.. not to mention all the talking in chinese so as to not let them know wad we saying.. although i tink some of stall ppl knew chinese.. haha but of course act dun know.. well some stall holders were nice to bargain wit, as in they were funny n all tat.. others were quite pmsy.. n wld actually come close to asking us to fuck off. lolz..

and being us.. we always seem to sag for damm long in a stall.. we cld spent up to a hour in one stall n still hav not decided on wad to buy.. haha.. or we cld not find a right size n wld stay there n look n look.. haha.. it took us a while b4 we had the mentality of if dun hav just move on.. haha.. n of course becoz of our draggy nature, many of the stall holders wld find us amusing.. n wld giggle or laugh.. i do hope they r laughing wit us.. haha...

****
oh yes.. the tour packages we booked were all to do nature n such.. very cool things.. first up the phi phi islands hopping.. in a speed boat.. whereby seriously u cld b thrown out of your seats.. coz the speed boat is crashing thru the water.. haha.. there was not much interaction btwn us n the other tourists.. n the grp was small like 10plus ppl. hha.. well we were the only asians. so yar..

whu cares?

anyway.. snorkelling was fun in a way... lolz.. first time doing it so when i first went in the water.. my mouth pc which is meant for breathing became a straw.. lol!.. n was sucking up huge amt of sea water.. haha.. i also went in wit my spec.. n gosh josh.. becoz of tat cld not create an air tight condition in my mask, n naturally sea water was like coming in.. lolz.. damm..i hope laser ops come soon.. haha .. anyway finally i took off my spec.. figured out how to wear the mask properly,.. n wow although i was slightly blinded.. i cld still see the fishes.. all the colourful ones.. n there were so many.. hha.. the guides were feeding the fishes.. so they were swimming near us.. hha.. so cool.. though treading water was quite the tiring affair.. but it was well worth it.. haha.. hmm wonder when i will see such nice stuffs sia.. haha

the beaches tat we went to was wow wow wow.. fine sands n all tat.. n crystal clear water.. so unlike spore.. haha.. one particular one was maya beach.. where they filmed the movie 'The Beach'.. anway.. white n fine sand.. nice water... ahhhhhhh.. n the view of the bay.. so DAMM nice.. haha

i sound like an excited sch gal.. but really its tat nice.. haha

then the 2nd trip was the phang nga province, a little further up from phuket.. where we did sea canoeing.. ok lah we din really self paddle.. we had a guide to paddle for us.. this grp had more interaction coz mayb the grp was bigger, 30 oddppl.. hha.. our guide for the day was damm nice.. n well funny too, toking abt trees look like like dicks.. n all tat.. n helping us cam whore.. haha.. we all tot he was one of the more talkative guides.. haha..

oh anyway the sea canoeing trip was cool in a way coz we get to explore the diff sea caves..n gosh some of the sea caves r so small.. the roof of the sea caves r like so near to our faces.. we had to lay down.. haha.. while some r so vast.. u feel slightly awed. haha.. there caves with bats.. n caves with shiny rocks.. very cool.. n all this while our guide was explaining to us the diff caves.. n the animals n all tat.. haha..

thru the caves.. we wil come into the lagoon or the hong as they say in thai.. haha.. saw many mangrove trees, mudskippers n a family of monkeys.. haha.. cw n ed took plenty n plenty of photos..

there was a small self paddling part.. haha where it was so damm funny.. coz whenever ed took the paddle.. we wld nvr go str.. haha.. but it was nice to enjoy some paddling ourselves.. haha.. but seriously we wld nvr survive as a canoeing team.. lolz

the coolest thing abt the sea canoe trip is the Hongs by the Starlight.. b4 hand we did something called a kratong, some floating thing made of the stem of the banana plant.. n decorated with flowers n wad not.. hhaha.. we went into this hong i guess n after cam whoring n wishing.. we released it.. n snap snap.. haha.. then our guide brought us to Dark Corner.. n showed us how to 'attract' a special type of plankton by shaking the water wit our hands.. haha.. wad so special abt these planktons r that they r luminous when shaken or disturbed.. lolz.. damm cool lah.. bright spots n all tat.. of course a little light n u wun b able to see it liao.. so its impossible to get it on film n photo.. but a very nice exp really..

ahhhhhh

****

well.. ok a rather long entry i know.. n really theres so much more to say,... haha..
yup there was quite a no. of bitching n snapping in the trip.. but i guess being frens thats wad happens.. haha.. cw headless chicken ritual in the morning was funny in a way.. n bitching at each other for all sorts of reasons was funny too.. haha..

whether another trip wil happen .. well not too sure.. mayb? haha,.. perhaps this time wit more ppl.. i wld not mind going back to phuket again.. its nice place.. nice ppl too.. mayb try staying in another hotel.. or stay in Ochidacea again also can... haha.. at least there got scrumptious omelettes.. haha..

this entry was supposed to b created 1 wk ago... but since that was the time when blogdrive was screwing up, tis incident was thus not blogged abt.. so here it is..

Anyway, in case your still dun know, i hav finally left the service of the our Spore Grand Armee!
haha.. yup as of 051208, i am back to a civilian.. a normal human being.. a free man not boy anymore =)

and gosh it does feel gd ... gd riddance to the Army!

well to b frank when the day came, it felt just like a normal day.. afterall we hav been in the ORD mood for close to a mth liao.. so well it was more of a formality to go back to camp to finally put it down in writing that we r free..

nonetheless i do feel abit well excited when i was finally given my pink ic n asked to fuck off.. lolz
since i was one of the few ppl to ord on that day, since not many ppl r from the Obese batch hahah, when so i went back alone loh.. thnk goodness got daddy's car.. haha felt gd driving a car to camp.. and one that is not restricted to 50km/h .. haha

i did spent quite the amt of money to buy food for the ppl in camp, ppl in AES, in ops rm.. n of course the junior EOD pnr.. haha.. since i was alone.. cant share cost.. so money money.. haha

well army life is well boring, and its nothing like wad they said in TV or another media mediums.. haha .. u meet all sort of ppl.. all sort of situations.. n can feel happy, sad n damm fuck typed one..

but.. i guess u can learn quite a no. of things.. i mean i did.. since my vocation is well to do wit bombs.. haha at the start we all tot it was cool... but in the end we seriously become very very jaded.

so yar i learnt lots of stuff.. of course to write it here wld b stupid.. so mayb when i do meet up wit u ppl out there.. mayb can share abit of the shit we do.. which is actually not much i tink... haha.. impt but no one really cares =(

of course i must say there r lots of memories in NS.. n gosh i seriously doubt i will forget them.. nor the ppl i know too.. some bad.. but mostly gd.. haha..

********

oh yar.. anyway after i finally finished the ORD stuff .. i used the car to go home.. n then fetch ed to go out.. b4 finally returning it to my dad at suntec..

n gosh that ed ar.. asked him to look at the street directory n he kept on taking photos.. of the car n me driving.. lolz!.. funny sia.. well in case u r wondering we did find our way to suntec in the end.. lolz..

parking at suntec cp was a horrible affair.. lolz.. first was i drove into a curb..haha.. nothing much, jus the left front wheel made contact wit tat lovely curb.. haha.. basically i cock eyed.. then din see that the path is curved so i kept going straight n ended up making contact wit the curb.. of course ed wld give a more colourful story.. but well tat ed.. haha

oh later in the nite we went clubbing.. lolz.. hav not gone for quite sometime.. since my army frens all dun wan to go .. i know so weird rite? army guys dun wan to go clubbing.. haha .. just kidding.. no hard feelings.. anyway so yar it was like a long time since i went clubbing.. kl din join us coz he was tired.. sad sad.. haha

anyway.. we went double O where in the end hav to pay entrance fee.. zzz.. n stil got to wait.. n cw was pmsing .. n got 'nice' aussie guys toking to us... but we cant really make sense of wad they r saying.. they speak english but wit the accent.. its well abit hard to listen out.. haha

the clubbing was fun at the start.. but towards the end was quite boring since the songs were repeating.. n the dj was quite wtf.. n oh did i mention double O can become the newest gay club in spore man.. with the amt of guys tat enter.. sheesh.. n all u see the face, can tell is NSF.. haha.. fucking alot of man.. n those few females that r around hav like male guardians.. or hav their own little charmed cirlce.. haha

i tink double O is going downhill.. haha thnk goodness for the cheap drinks..

oh and ed looks very very fugly when he is high.. the things he do.. lolz.. i guess only cw n i will rmber..

great laugh!

right.. we r up n running
