The baking class is super fun!! I'm thinking of signing up for more lessons and Eve might join me. It will be super fun esp if u got kaki to go together!!

That's all for now, hehe I hope I'll be back soon...

Hubby juz bought a inflatable kayak and we went for our first kayak trip on Sun 25/4... keke wif nutnut...It's real hard work!!! we havent gotten our pushcart therefore we had to carry everything back and forth...

We woke up super early!!! @515

Ready to go!!!

coz the high tide timing was 830... and we were in the waters by 745...While we were setting up to go in, there were some people staring at us, i felt so weird like we are doing something crazy...hahaa then we dressed nutnut up in her PFD (Personal Flotation Device aka Peanut's flotation device) haha she looked real cute in it.

~My very first Teachers' Day~

2009-09-03T16:53:00.002+08:00

Keke was looking forward to Teachers' Day...funny right coz after practicum people wud think that we have celebrated it le...but the answer is no....they strategically planned our period before this day...

Hmmm i was wondering if i wud get a pressie from one particular pupil coz he always acts very cool and kinda disregards teachers...I was really surprised to receive a pressie from him, he didnt pass it to me himself but the though of a pressie from him was kinda surprising already...He is so funny, he bought me a essence of chicken to restore my energy...haha so that can scold them more....

Children are getting more practical lately, they know how to select gifts for their teachers, i received whiteboard markers, notepads and post-its really nice and practical (I wonder if their parent bought them, that's y they are practical gifts) and of the usual pretty flowers and chocolates i love them too....

Happy Teachers' Day!!!!

Audrey preparing to attack...

Me attempting some candid shots of my own....

Keke by the time we were done snapping our ice cream was starting to melt...We went on to shop for her yiming's pressie...then walked around for my work wear too...We walked past a shop that had 50% of for eyelash perming and decided to give a try...Quite pretty and princessy however if got u stubborn lashes like mine i wud reccomend going for the traditional kind...This one at suntec 3rd floor is some new method takes about half the time as compared to the traditional beauty salon kind...It uses some clip that looks like eyelask curler to hold on to our lashes then add the perming solution...My verdict not worth for my stubborn lashes....

After that we rushed off to meet Wei at bugis...Supposed to be me shopping for my workwear but haha ms toh had more shopping bags than me...She still dare scold me...haha saying that i make her spend money, but cant blame me i not longer that tiny anymore buying clothes is more difficult...So overall i only got a top and a skirt...Super love the skirt, will take a foto when i wear it to work... :D

Tuesday:

Meeting Joyce, Khatijah and Liza for shoppin again...Round 2 since the day before's shopping din have a big shuo huo...We went to have dinner at breeks, was super crazy I ordered buffalo wings and half a chicken for main course...argh super bad combi haha too much chicken...I regret hahaha....We continued with shopping, however didnt get much either and was worse than the day before...i only managed to get 2 belts, they are lovely... We ended the day wif coffee and desserts at starbucks...

Thursday:

Baking session 3... keke we had induction at nie (guess what they came up wif a new n innovative way to make us fill feedback questionaires haha, in order to retreive our results we have to fill it in) then headed to JE to buy baking stuff...So sad the shop is closing down soon,we can only go to clementi one but heard from Meizhen that it is tiny...SObz...

We made gingerbread people n animals and also cinnamon rolls(1st attempt, but not bad) so fun we were all laughing non stop when my hubby requested for a sexy gingerbread babe... and we created a pair of ***** gingerbread couple haha... I am super enjoying the baking sessions more and more...hoohoo not juz baking i mean hanging wif eve n zhen...we are super cranky around each other...so fun...looking forward to the next home session...

I also had my aircon serviced today after living in my love nest for abt 2 yrs, this is our first servicing...However, the aircon guy destroyed my aircon plug and have to replace it ourselves...So weird an aircon guy who doesnt knw electrical works...but at least i have cold aircon now...yippe :)

Saturday:

Wei and I went on to far east to shop for more stuff, I m really surprised that i havent grown out of that place (felt so out of place when i went bugis village wif wei on mon)...I found the bag that i was looking for at far east plaza, i saw a girl carrying it on a bus and fell in love...was considering not to buy since i bought the charles&keith bag liao, but i couldnt resist hahaha...

I bought a pair of very nice brown ballet flats and so easy to match clothes....I tried on a black satin pair too, exact same cutting but diff material and colour...still thinking if i wan get that but will only knw after i tried the brown one to work...keke...And the good news is i controlled ms toh she didnt buy much...I got more bags than her I win the shopping day!!!hahaha

We had a feast coz my mother in law also cooked chicken curry and invited so many pple to my home...Had abt 15pple here for dinner...so scary had to take out so many plates...Thank goodness that corrine (keave's aunt's domestic helper) was ard to help me she is so sweet she just would sit down and rest kept helping me to wash and clean stuff if not i think i wud juz faint hahah just lookin at the amt of bowls and plates...

~After Module registration War & Happi Anniversary!!!~

2008-12-20T11:27:00.007+08:00

Ooh Module registeration was like war again this year as some of the modules offered only had 20 (multiliteracy) or 25 (CDA) which is half of the norm and a lot of peeps wana take them so everyone was online very early that day to book for slots...I was in at 1201 (reg starts at 1200) keke and I was one of the lucky few who managed to get wat I wanted...Most of them couldnt i guess maybe its the combi that they are taking Multi n CDA at the same time so very hard coz both as u can see very little seats and there are so many of us....

keke yesterday was our 4th wedding anniversary....We did a simple lunch and went for a great movie...Ip Man (which Gordon so funnily called as I.P. Man (man as in Batman) hahaha)

This is a much-watch, it is exciting and funny at the same time, the kung fu moves that Donnie Yen brings is so cooooool....

Keke had a great christmas party at Kim's house (RCIA group), so much yummilicious food....Everyonr especially liked Shirley's cauliflower salad (similar to potato salad, wif cauliflower replacing potatoes = less carbs) keke very nice...We had black pepper crab, baby sotong, whole chicken, chicken drumlets, ribs, sausages, fruits and a log cake on top of the fabulous salad... We also had christmas crackers which we all cracked and had fun playing with the items inside and taking a lot of photos... Will upload the photos when i get them....

During the gift exchange, we felt that everything was God's plan kekeke coz the rosary i made went to my catechuman (lizzie) and Soot Yin's bood stand went to Shirley avid book reader and a Drama Queen mug from Pauline went to Kim (being a teacher have to be drama mama ma) hahaha...They really liked my rosary *blush blush*...they tot it was the perfect christmas gift and best of all it went to Lizzie....Had a great time, been a long while since I celebrated christmas like this....

Went to chinatown yesterday to get items to make a rosary for my RCIA gift exchange tonite... This is my first time attempting a full rosary, the last time i made one decades ones for my last RCIA group...

Went to east coast with Hwee, Chloe, Wei, TinTin, MoMo n NutNut super long never see them liao coz of exams...Hwee brought Chloe baby out though she was sick haha Chloe has grown so much liao...

~Reflections, reflections and more reflections~

2008-08-24T14:35:00.002+08:00

Argh suddenly feel as though reflections are the in thing in NIE now...Almost every module has some sort of reflections to do....and on top of that loads and loads of readings...Been feeling weird lately rather blue so no mood to do readings and now quite far behind...well mood has picked up and finally proud to say completed 2 reflections and prepared for my presentation tomorrow...

Well, for happier stuff, hubby brought nutnut and me to east coast park again to have carl's jr breakfast...We din have the breakfast menu though and i tried something out of my norm which is the Guacemole burger(not sure of the spelling) it has avocado dressing, bacon and of coz the beef patty...Then brought nutnut to walk walk and there happens to have a car boot sale so we went to take a look...kekeke there was a chihuahua in one of the van's car boot and nutnut din bark (she always barks at other breeds) so we finally come to a conclusion that she really knws breed of dogs and only barks at other breeds....kekeke clever nut....We bought 3 pots to decorate our hall again...obsessive pots buyer we are.....

~Argh the heart stopping day~

2008-08-21T15:50:00.002+08:00

The scariest day.....We brought nutnut to the vet to have her dental works done yesterday...haiz u knw la doggies not like us wont open their mouths willingly to have something weird stuck inside to scale their teeth so must put anaesthesia to knock her out first then can scale....

While nutnut was left to do her teeth i had to go to class...wanted to skip class so i could pick her up after she was done...but keavy say must go so i went...The vet called but i din hear the phone buzzing by the time my 1st class ended i saw keavy's call...quickly answered and keavy told me that during the scaling nutnut's heart stop....i was so shocked that mine skipped a beat too...my poor baby girl, i sent her to suffer....my heart ached so much.... when the vet asked us what were our concerns in the morning, we told her that we were afraid nutnut wont wake up after the procedure... then the vet said that is something she couldnt guarrantee argh....we were so nervous hubby hugged nut and me too... feeling so empty after we left her there.... I have never left nutnut at a vet w/o staying wif her.... Luckily we left her in the good hands of Dr Ling, she revived nutnut, Dr Ling asked keavy if nutnut ever undergone such sedation as her bleeding wont stop after extracting some teeth...

5 teeth were extracted... when hub came to pick me after school i kept holding on to nutnut....my baby girl my darling...she nearly left us....

Had a terrible migraine on sat morning therefore wasn't able to go for Jap lesson...Been missing alot of lessons lately wonder if i can catch up...Sensei is really making me lose interest in the Language...She makes it so boring and monotonous for us....As my main catechist was busy I took over the lesson in the afternoon and the topic for the week was "Choose Love", teaching P3 children to choose love over hate...Love your friends and also most importantly Love Your Enemies!!! What is so special about being able to love your friends and hate your enemies???that was the qn posed to the children, which i find very true, but to be Christ-like and so loving and all-forgiving is so difficult...

After Catechism class went over to Mum-in-law place for makan...Ooh had the most tender roast duck ever...My father-in-law went to buy the duck, it is perfection...even the breast meat is so tender and juicy and the entire duck was so flavourful....Dinner was good... Then Hubby and I went down to the rental shop to rent some DVDs to watch...We went home and wanted to watch the "English" movie first, or so we thought hahahaha the movie was in Swedish so throughout the show we were reading subtitles except certain portions when the German was speaking English....Keke for the 1st 50min, the story progress so slowly then towards the end so excitng...the title is "Executive Protection", at the end of it we decided that was not bad... So we wanted to continue to watch the 2nd dvd that we rented which was "江山美人" which starred Kelly Chen, Leon Lai and Zhen Zi Dan after watching halfway Hubby was a little tired so decided to continue on Sunday...

On Sunday...

Hubby had to go for RT in the morning and I went for the 10.45 Mass, this was one of the times which i was super early and on time...As i wanted to do my confession before the mass starts... After Mass went straight home to prepare to go out...Keke It's Peanut Darling Princess's Birthday...I dressed her up hip-hop style wif a Bling-bling necklace

...then we went to Pawtobello to have lunch....Pawtobello is a pet cafe which allows pet owners to have makan wif their pets such a nice place, the food is not bad too....Nutnut had Something Fishy (Brown rice, fish wif cream sauce and carrots and zuchinis on the side), her food came like this>>>then she sniffed it but did not eat it(Peanut is known to be a picky eater) so we decided to mix up her food... oooh i guess that did it for her, she started eating her food...Although we order the small appetite for her, it was still a big portion...Well she still knows to finish the good stuff (fish) first....Then her tummy was so round and full, so contented....Our food was good too, but as i was so busy wanting to eat my food only took a picture of the salad>>>After makan, we headed home to continue our movie watching....Kekeke before we could return to our rented dvd, we watched Bruce Lee's movie which was showing on Channel 8, he was so fit and cool... After that, we continued watching the DVD from where we stopped on sat... and had snacks while watching it...guess our timing is great, when we finished watching the dvd, it was time for Channel 5's Sunday Blockbuster ---> Hellboy...keke right we continued watching that tooo....This time we ordered Macs...kekeke how to lose weight and stay healthy like that hahahahhaha....Well we ate Macs for one reason...Elle wanted the Free Coke cup....

On Monday...

Followed Keavy to work as we were going to meet Wei to bring Elmo to boarding...after boarding momo boy we went on our "excursion" keke....We went to Pandan Reservoir (first time for wei and me) it is super huge and the area is windy too...after that Keavy brought us to a Temple to see a big fish...then asked wei if she wanted to go pick durians, i was juz thinking of bringing her to pick durians from the durian tree growing on the side of the road so that she dun have to walk into the "jungle", but Wei was onz kekeke so we went home to change into something more appropriate and proceeded to the durians....Wei is lucky gal....kekeke she too got to hear durian drop and see squirrels as sometimes we wait so long also no shou huo one....We attempted to get Tapioca but the plants were growing too far in we couldn't reach the roots (then i kena from wei coz i told her sure can get tapioca def easier then durians...haha and we had to climb up and down juz to reach the tapioca plants) we ended up dirting our hands and Ms Toh used the water on the dumbcane plants to wash her hands(she did not remember that dumbcane were poisonous plants), but at least she got to see yams (the easiest to get)...Keke that ends our "Nature Excursion".

~New Look~

2008-07-11T00:16:00.002+08:00

Life is looking brighter and prettier...Therefore i decided to change the look of my blog....The last time i wanted to change i looked around for the longest time and couldn't find one that was nice, but this time i found the perfect one....It is so lovely and fresh....Thank you glowmay, for the generosity...

Gone are the days where i will slack and procrastinate...New elle, happy elle....

~Funny day~

2008-07-10T21:40:00.002+08:00

Keke today i did the most silliest thing ever....Hubby and I went to Chinatown for makan then bought nonya kuehs and had them in the car...so delicious till the ondeh ondeh (not sure correct spelling)...hubby suggested to use tongue to squeeze the ball and let the syrup squirt out but i couldnt do it....finally when i managed to do it i squirted the syrup all over my hands...so i told hub that i not squeezing the 2nd ball liao....he say that way nicer and told me to try again....this time it was worst....I squirted on the top of the car and then couldnt help laughing and knocked the container overand spilled the coconut shaving all over the floor of the car... argh, thank god hub wasnt mad and was laughing at the nonsense and mess that i created.... super funny, he acutally saw the squirting action and therefore banned me from having ondeh ondeh in the car... I told him not fair as he was the one who asked me to squeeze it i wanted to juz bite it....I guess the next time i am goin to attempt squeezing it i shud prepare tissue and cover my mouth first if not the precious syrup will be wasted....hahaha

~Like starting holidays again~

2008-06-15T14:38:00.003+08:00

Kekeke 3 weeks of DVC finally over...Feels like i am starting my holidays all over again....kekeke the final week of DVC i got a different class therefore had to go a different outing location which was the croc farm....so interesting... we saw crocs of all sorts, even some deformed ones w/o tails, the guide told us that these types of crocs would never be able to live past a week in the wild as they are unable to flee times of danger... Poor things... As the farm is a commerical farm therefore the crocs are reared for they meat and hide, we got to see and touch they newly skinned croc...after all that we got to see a young baby croc and also carry and touch a croc that is stunned in growth so she is only 1 and half arm's length long...the underbelly is so soft while the top is so tough....keke wat a nice experience...we'hv gotten momentos from the farm, beautiful croc tooth necklace....

Since the camp is finally over, I will go back to knitting again...and possibly start exercising to kick start a healthy lifestyle.....

Ooh b4 i forget kekeke i got my results already and improved this semester!!! yippe elle must work so hard to improve further....dear friends i cant thank all of you enuf for helping me through the semester.....Thank you!! Thank you!!!

~Tiring Week and one more to come~

2008-06-01T22:48:00.002+08:00

Keke managed to survive one week of DVC, on the first day i was so worried that i wouldn't be able to finish up the week as I have lost my voice and had to stand for the whole day after so many days of slacking and sleeping late that is so tough....Hahaa but as the days passed it was rather manageable and the trip to Khong Guan Biscuit factory was so fun.... Confirmation to teach one more week and not sure if i would get the 3rd week...Part of me is hoping i will get it but another part of me wants to slack hahahahaha....

Well heard that results will be out on the 9th of June....EEEEEeeeeeeee why must so early???? so not looking forward to it man.....arghhhhhh!!!! wat to do guess it's another wake up call....to work harder next sem....

~Happy and Sick day~

Hahaha had a great time at mindcafe (purvis st) yesterday with joyce, liza, wan, khatijah, aishah and danial.....but before khatijah, aishah and danial came, one old uncle thinking that he was being very macho came over to shhhh us but he was damn rude....Instead of telling us nicely to lower down our volume he said "i hate to be a f***ing spoilsport"... But use your butt and think also know that at a boardgamming cafe people play boardgames and make alot of noise la, u wan peace and quiet lunch, hugging your young partner go elsewhere....BRAINLESS....Well anyway instead of getting what he wanted we scolded him back... and of coz hahahah continued to make even more noise....We had a great time!!! We play ugly dolls, halle galle, taboo, sitting ducks, first hand, more ugly dolls and telepaths....

After having so much fun, me wasnt really feeling well caught stomach flu from somewhere, now having tummyache hahahha...hope to get better by tonite i have to do camp set up tmr at Main Campus....I was told by one of my frenz that i won't be in week b was alittle sad but i juz received the email stating that i will be in week b...kekeke super happy....hmmmm but slightly mixed feelings coz my bdae falls on that week too....hmmm wondering if my hubby will celebrate with me....kekeke

~Lazy me~

2008-05-21T14:26:00.002+08:00

Hehe have been lazy to blog, coz everytime when something interesting happens and i tell myself me want blog this i will often get too busy to blog then the happenings pile up till i duno wat to blog anymore....hahahhaa...

Well after the exams nothing really happening happened...hahaha started my new RCIA meetings and havent really went out with my friends for boardgamming or any fun activites... I started knitting again finished 2 projects already, my top and a secret pressie...currently still hv 2 more on-going projects and 2 on hold (my hubby and mother-in-law, on hold coz i think too small liao then heart pain to remove and redo)...

Went for a catechist conference over the last weekend, it was real fun and we learnt a lot of new things had lots of good food and even a bbq-buffet dance nite... I guess we adults are more happening then the youths as they took awhile to come out of their shell whereas we just danced straightaway....

one sad part of my holidays till date is that i think i am goin to get another C+ for one of my modules,the grades for 2 components of that module is still C+....haiz guess i have to work super hard next semester and maintain my momentum throughout....

That's all for now looking forward to tomorrow's gamming with my pals....

~Exams Are Finally Over~

2008-04-21T21:21:00.002+08:00

Special thanks to Liza for helping me to memorise important key words...Keke "You confirm, I reject, You repeat, I ignore, You elaborate and I reformulate" hahaha they will be the golden words....

Well finally we can kickstart all our plans for the holidays: Paintball, BBQ, Boardgamming, Tioman, exercising.... The never-ending plans for a super long holiday...

~Finally....~

2008-04-06T10:43:00.002+08:00

Yippe finally handed in all my dreadful assignments...Can take a breather for the weekend before starting to study for the exams again....

Keke so now have time to update.... Keke Jteam came the other day to film Money No Enough 2 at my place....they actually made my whole level look like a studio area, where they have wardrobe space and were steaming their clothes haha i was amazed... It was really cool to see the actual filming process and to learn that one scene on tv is made up of multiple shots from various angles...Such a tedious process...

Jack Neo, Mark Lee and Lai Yi Ling are very nice people, no airs at all...The whole Jteam also very friendly, they took pictures of how my home looked before they moved things and then before they left they moved everything back and it looked as though they weren't here at all... Hahaa so efficient....Really enjoyed having them...

The scenes took consisted of some screaming and door banging that my frenz who were here thought maybe the neighbours might ring the police....Coz the screaming lasted till around 1215am as they had to take the multiple shots...haha by the time they were leaving, we heard them saying that one of my neighbour rang the police...hahaha so funny....

~WoooHooo Shiok completed my assignment w/o stress~

2008-03-01T14:32:00.002+08:00

Hehe although as usual i have been procrastinating when it comes to my assignments, i have improved slightly by not procarstinating until the very last minute and have completed 2 of my many assignments before their deadlines... this feeling is super shioks.... I have always been completing my assignment the night before it is due burning super midnight oil and always ending handing up half past six work thus resulting in my half past six results too... Hopefully i can be able to improve my grades too...

Well now goin to give myself a small rest and head on to catechism class and mass...

~Trying to be on the ball~

2008-02-29T22:13:00.002+08:00

Hee...After my RCIA retreat i have been trying to be more proactive, finally filed my documents (bills, insurance, bank statements, etc) and clear a major chunk of ironing...But ermmmm still procrastinating on my assignments....Ahhhh i must start on them tmr, or like my pet phrase "I am so dead"....hahahaha

Well, today brought my printer to the sumsung clinic, it suddenly died on me and i dunno why, the technician said it would take 3 to 5 working days before i can have it back, but i guess the problem wasn't a big one as it was fixed in a day and it is now happily sitting on my side table... I have yet to try printing stuff... will try soon....

~Suupppper Update~

2008-02-25T12:20:00.003+08:00

Haha finally updating my blogg now after many months of neligence....

After receiving my results last year, i made some new year resolutions (for this sem at least)... I would put in effort to do my readings and not keep them till b4 the exams to start, to do my assignments not at the last minute but b4 so as to have enough time to check through or find resources to back up my assignment. Till now i have managed to kip up my promise by not doing one of my assignment at the very last minute and to do readings for my modules though they aren't really up to date kekeke....

Hehe this year's valentine's day, is so lovely....We decided not to go out and celebrate but to stay home, have a home-cooked meal and dvd watching....I prepared western food for my hubby, pumpkin soup, fettucine and ice-cream, not very professional though....Hehe my darling gave me a huge surprise as i was not expecting that he would be buying any roses, he bought a small bouquet

and gave it to me when he picked me up from school...so sweet.... that was not the only surprise that he had in store for me....He bought my favourite uni and ikura

from mediya supermarket....it was the sweetest thing every mouthful of ikura and uni was heavenly that i didn't want the experience to end...

keke and our celebration did not end till 15th feb as we had a couple massage session booked on that day. The ambience of the spa was great, the scent of spices and aromatherapy oils were wonderfully mixed and the consultant after checking through our preference prepared the massage rooms and types of scrub and massage for the both of us....haha sorry for the continued used of the word heavenly but the experience was just that...that's how wonderfully and meaningfully spent valentine's day....These are the freebies that came along with the massage package...

Super duber Update...

2008-01-04T21:34:00.000+08:00

Keke been busy....haha nah lazy to blog lately....so here's a super update!!! Been super stressed out in school last sem and din do very well got 2 C+s...haiz...But other than that life have been pretty good...

~Busy busy busy~

2007-11-07T23:49:00.000+08:00

Been super duber busy.... Rushing assignments, packing my home....
Keke mediacorp pple came to my home yesterday for a filming session. so interesting to watch them do takes and re-takes. A good point about them coming is that it has forced me and hubby to pack up more and now the tv console area is finally done up. They came at the right time, we done our balcony, our doorway and finally the kitchen cabinets are up!!! hee we can have our house warming party soon.....

Haiz but on the other hand I have some nagging problems....I feel so much for my fren and wana guide her to make the right decisions but I can't force my views on her. Dun wan to see her suffer but duno how to make it right....duno how to help her!!!!!! ARgh can someone magically remove her problems???

~Hectic month~

2007-10-21T23:13:00.000+08:00

Super busy month many assignments and lotsa tuition for the month...Finally, I am able to update... Keke my kitchen is finally done, the carpenter finally has some time to do it up, now we just have to clear up the clutter then design the balcony and get the house blessed. We can then have our house warming....Tenatively in december, hmmm that's dependent on our financial status too...keekee.

Oh ya how can I forget, I caught 2 sea bass on 2 fishing occasions...So shiok and highly addictive...Can't wait to go for the 9 hour fishing session with hubby...But i guess that has to wait till after the exams...I am so slacking behind, havent done my readings at all...

Had to have a stayover at my place to sort of clear an assignment, but to have a stayover to do assignment is so fun....so stress-free and yet constructive...We actually started doing work only at 1230am and ended at 4am haha it's the analysing of the transcript that we took a longer time but it's a cool assignment quite fun....Starting to like school alittle more hahahaha yes i know the semester is ending soon but suddenly after not trying to give myself too much stress I am able to feel good about reading up and writing quite respectable essay (in my point of view) hahahaha.

Work work work I had better start!!!!

~Hectic week~

2007-09-28T12:13:00.000+08:00

Supposed to be doing assignments and studying this hols but argh I havent even started on my essay that I know I wont be doing to well...shit!!!!

Had a "xiao xin zhi jia" gathering at aloha loyang on mon and tue...We had steamboat, beer, cake, snacks and lotsa mahjong.hahaha.... On wed my dad delivered the 2nd hand fridge over and I had to do major cleaning for that fridge --> kinda regret asking dad to bring it over, it is so huge wonder whether will my electrical bills cost a bomb now...

I need to focus on my studies and really put in effort for it.... darn I am a major procrastinator!!!! I really need to start my readings for my essay now...

~Confusion over assignments~

2007-09-17T21:53:00.000+08:00

I am so confused of what my assignment is asking of me, so cheem and confusing that I dun even know how to start even with my notes right beside me. Worst of all, this assignment was a past year exam question, how am I going to make it through for this module???

Well enough of the depressing stuff, I had quite a week, managed to complete my essay and felt that it was quite good...keke had lots of tuition including my new tuition sec 3 phy and chem, surprised myself that I can still remember quite a lot for these 2 subjects. But the best part of the week was the tulang and prawn feast that I had at my place with hubby's and my frenz after a prawning session at bishan....so yummilicious!!!! but also so sinful, cannot have everytime as it is super high in fat.

haiz... got to go back to my assignment now....back to the confused world... beginning to wonder if I am actually up to it...

~A some sort wasted week~

2007-09-10T00:26:00.000+08:00

Arggghhh the whole e-learning week had passed but I have yet to start on my Citizenship essay which is due on tuesday, I am so dead....It is so hard to start reading those materials, they simply just put you to sleep... Well, I did manage to read my sociolinguistic readings, seems to start to make some sense but the jardon is still so heavy to understand directly and the text has no become best buddies with my dictionary...

On a happier note, I finally managed to win money in mahjong on sat (after ard 5mths plus of losing) to super happy that it felt like finally seeing light at the end of a dark dark tunnel.... (p.s. Sandra sorry I got enuf kaki liao so no call you, paiseh paiseh!!! next time okie?)

I must kick start my studying program haiz fulfill my promise!!!! -.-"

~help I feel so lazy and Lethargic~

2007-09-04T23:21:00.000+08:00

Arghhhhh.... I feel so lazy and lethargic havent started doing anything during this e-learning break... Am supposed to start on my essay for next wed and do online tutorials, argh help me!!!! Oh ya I did manage to accomplish something, met up wif my AAE 101 groupmates to do up our project proposal.

Well had a fruitful weekend though, met up wif some of my sec sch classmates and had a bbq cum prawning session at bishan area on Saturday. We had alot of food leftover and brought them over to my place and cooked it for supper and makan for the next 2 days. On Sunday, went over to sis-in-law's house coz Douglas' bdae. It was quite fun, there was a pinata (duno how to spell, u knw the thing that contains sweets that u whack hard and breaks, then sweets fall out).

Hmmm trying really hard now to get in the mood to start studying...byez....

~Busy busy Life~

2007-08-31T11:08:00.000+08:00

Hmmm had 2 busy weeks and some issues. Was confused and unsure of what I shud do in terms of school and frenz. Reali felt stressed out in school and lacking behind not understanding what was goin on in lectures and pretty confused most of the time. To make matters worse the people around in lecture dun seem to bother or want to pay attention at all, they keep yakking away at every chance they've got. Fren issue quite mind bogglin too, she has been a great fren and all but I guess being around her makes me feel v small and useless which adds on to the already great amount of stress I am experiencing, but I dunno how to express these feelings to her w/o sounding harsh.

Well I guess some things turned out great too, I had a retreat over the weekend at NaCLI camp with my church pals. My group was the biggest group and was given the biggest room which was so beautiful and had a "cave" concept with pretty caveman drawings and beds on platforms. Keke most of all, the retreat gave me an opportunity to solve and sort out all my thoughts and feelings and also to get to know everyone in RCIA better. It was a great, enriching and faith renewing experience. Look so forward for the next one....

~Family Time~

2007-08-20T00:16:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time since I spent time with my dad and siblings. My dad seems to be always getting me at the wrong time and never been able to have dinner together since Fathers' Day. Keke finally got hold of him on sat and sun and spent the weekend with my papa and siblings. kinda feels good after having not seen each other for along time.

But becoz i spent so much time with my family and havent started on my group work and only juz completed my group project's lesson plan, was stressed out at first becoz i got the slides all wrong (kept lookin at the not-updated copy) plus i was not at the last proj discussion so was really confused as to how to complete the lesson plan. Phew.... I finally got it done. I am off to bed now...(tmr will be a long day ahead and many many readings to catch up with)

~Argh I nid More Tuition~

~Finally revamped my Blog~

Keke.... woah juz realised that i havent been updating my blog for the longest time --> like for over a year. I finally learnt how to go about "beautifying" my blog and here it is...

Btw it wud take forever to recount the "missing" updates in my life, so i guess i'll juz summarise it.

1) I completed my Diploma in Education and received a chance to cross-over to do degree in education majoring in Eng Lang, which is kinda tough on the financial aspect as well as the mental aspect but i'll work hard (study and giving tuition) and pull thru.

2) I finally gotten my dream home, our love nest on 14th feb this year. (still in the midst of furnishing it though!)

3) I am currently a sponsor in RCIA in my church and have been catching up on my faith building, not long ago my parish had its feast day and my RCIA grp actually decided to work together to open a stall selling jelly, herbal tea eggs, fishballs and paper roses (which i made, keke).

Life is picking up and moving on...:p

2006-02-24T00:39:00.000+08:00

Hmm today started off pretty well so to say...got out in time to reach sch early to mit my tutor to check on my texts, soon to realise that he was goin off so cant check them (mini argh 1). So had alot of time to kill b4 miting groupmates for proj discussion & lunch at 2 (was starving but had to wait for them to come 1st), after having lunch we headed straight to mit our proj interviewee. Upon reaching our location, she was so shy that even after much persuasion she only broke out in tears (which was bad as we needed her responses in the whole interview)[mini argh 2]. We tried all ways and means to connect and finally made it to convince her to listen to us story tell (by asking one of her frenz to join in), luckily she was still responsive to us and seems to have enjoyed the story.

hehe next on my already bz agenda for the day was to go for tuition...had to rush down so as to not get a penalty...took a cabbie to the destination rushed to the blk only to have to struggle wif the lift button (condo security argh again) till a nice lady helped me to the 10th storey and walked down to 9th storey hahahaha to my horror when i knocked on the door the mother of my tutee came to tell me i made a mistake and that another tutor was already inside teaching and that was her 2nd lesson....(major arrrrgggghhh!!!!!) i was so sad and worse of all she had to double check with her hubby she left me outside the door like a stupid fool...then upon calling the agent they saud there was a miscomm therefore i wasted my time, money and effort to rush there....(that was it the final blow....) spoilt my whole day planning i cud have stay behind to fin up my proj discussion or catch my movie earlier now neither here nor there... very pissed off...i have to mit my groupmates again tmr and really haven done anything this week.... How bad can it get....argggghhh! Juz hope tmr i wake up on the rite side....

A Happy Surprise

2006-02-22T12:59:00.000+08:00

Had a happy surprise yesterday...hee recieved a call from a tuition agency hehe (waiting and praying for a long long time) gave me a tutee (p1) hehe the best level I could ever ask for as i had experience with little ones and i am good at the subjects that are to be taught, the best surprise was the pay hee its relatively high for p1 level which is great...

Quite a happy 2 days, got to buy children's books from a nice bookstore at The Book Cove.They have a wonderful selection of children's books though i little pricey for some, but i guess given that quality the price is okay...It's such a joy goin through children's books and shopping for them, haha i better learn to like it as that gonna be on my agenda every mth to spend some part of my salary each month to add on to my collection...

~the day I duno wat i did was rite or wrong~

2006-02-20T23:02:00.000+08:00

I have thought about it over and over, through and through discussed it wif different pple to get their idea and their opinion so as to have an objective and fair view. Whatever i did is cruel and heart wrenching nt only for the parties involved but includin the pple ard. But no matter to whom i spoke to they only supported my decision, it maybe somewhat selfish but my main and first intentions were not for myself but for the parties involved. After enforcing what we tot, i felt so bad i duno whatever i did was rite or wrong...Can someone tell me... I am confused and tired and full of problems of my own to worry about...I am sorry to the parties involved but wat gotta be done gottta be done...I can only hope what i did is the best for them...
