LUCKY went home after a 2days' stay with XBB...
poor XBB.. found a new fren n yet lost a new fren... wad am i sayin?!
oh well, it doesnt matter..

p/s: sandra dear, my apologies for failing to capture those fotos..
will try to do so if LUCKY comes for a visit again.. :)


anyway, i had a gr8 time with baby today...
having nt seen him for d past 3 days was reali kinda torturous..
aint sure y, i din reali manage to slp well for the past few days,
perhaps itz due to the workload that's piling up endlessly,
perhpas itz due to fatigue,
perhaps itz juz me..
i dun know the exact reason..
but wad i know is i reali slept very soundly n comfortably in my baby's arms this afternoon..
reali, itz been long since i've had such a sound slp..
it juz feel so comfortable n secure lying in his arms..
10 days left to our 1yr anniversary... woohoo~

I LOVE MY BABY TONS!!!!
hehehzzz :p

it has been a two LONG day (yday & today)!!
yday's (monday) lesson was from 0830-1830.
was supposed to have 2 break slots for the day, but last min, one lecturer decided to have the makeup tutorial lesson during one of the break slot, directly after her 2hrs lecture coz thur's NIE's union day, so no classes for the day..
it was super siong as i could barely keep my eyes open after hearing her continous ramble for 2hrs... i was practically dozing off in class.. hahaz..
followed up was the preparation for the DED presentation that i had for d day..
evyth was rather last min n chop chop as i only saw the ppt slides for the whole presentation on the day itself!
haha.. to think that we hv to split up the slides to present, i basically hv nt much idea on wad to talk abt so it was mostly an impromptu thingy during the presentation..
luckily all went well, n i guess i din screw up the presentation on my part..
my brain was already fried when the day ended... phew~

today's (tuesday) day was equally siong..
had mac breakfast with kaixin n amber in the morning b4 class started n we were lamenting how shiokz it is to enjoy breakfast..ever since sch started this sem, we hardly hv any time for meals, let alone enjoy a meal.. thus the feeling was really gr8! :)

stress started pouring in at 1030, the 1st lecture of the day..
thou d lecturer was basically buying time and crapping his way thru, i cant help but feel the stress coz for his module, there's 2 projects to be submitted!
to think that his module is only 1 AU, but the workload is worth far more than 1 AU!
sighz~ what to do.. hv to pass thru this phase no matter how tough itz gonna get..

willy woon's lecture started at 1130.. surprisingly he seemed to be in a very gd mood today.. he made a lame joke the moment he stepped into the lecture hall, thou nt many ppl bothered abt him, but still i felt that he seemed different today..
his lesson today was also rather interesting.. but thinking back on the test and exam questions on his module.. the stress builds up again.. :(

after willy's 2hrs' lecture, we had a miserable half hr break b4 continuing with gpaw's super damn stressful makeup tutorial..
my mind kinda switched off while in the midst of the tutorial, n i see sleepy eyes all ard me..haha.. the sleepy worm muz hv caught most of us..
gpaw muz hv seen that too, n the lady was kind enough to buy all of us coffee and tea to perk us up again..
thanks to her little treat, i was brought back to the lesson again... :)

the tiring day has yet ended when the tutorial finished at 4.15pm..
i still had 2 tuitions to rush for.. :(
so officially my day ended at 10pm today.. sighz..

i now declare that my mind is officially DEAD now!!!

my whole body refused to move when i turned over to switch off my alarm clock this morning..
somehow my body juz dun seemed to belong to me..
itz aching all over..
and to add on to the misery, my neck was aching too and my head was spinning..

it suddenly came across my mind.. these seemed like d symptoms of falling sick..
i dragged myself out of bed, trying to force myself to go on with my supposed tuition today..

i walked to the toilet with heavy feet and when i looked at myself in the mirror, i got a shock!
my face was damn pale looking.. ya, like wad ppl say, "bin ceng ceng" (face green green, nt d literally green la, juz pale)
what is happening to me???
my head continued to spin and itz throbbing like itz having a rock party inside..

under such circumstances, i really dun know how i can step out of the hse...so i called to cancel my tuition...

wanted to crawl back in bed for more sleep but my throbbing head did not allow me to do so.. so i went to wash up and after a fast breakfast, i had a cold shower.. thinking that it might probably drive the headache away..

true enuf, it did helped to cure the headache, but only for a while..
i decided to try to do some work since i still hv many tutorials left for me to go thru again..
i tried.. with lotsa effort, but only managed to finish one b4 i started to feel restless again...

the blazing afternoon sun left beads of perspirations down my forehead, leaving me feeling sticky and irritated thru out the day..
and with the amount of shoutings n scoldings going on in my hse, it didnt benefit my headache at all!! in fact, it became worse!

i had no mood to do things and basically i juz sat down in front of my lappie, letting time slip by...

itz such a wasted day today..
i only managed to set one set of science exam paper for my tuition boy..
i could hv done more than this...but i juz dun hv d mood!

i miss my baby!!! :(

today i did sth which i nv thot i would..
close frenz would know i hv a phobia towards dogs due to a scary memory of the childhood days..
but today i actually accompanied dearie to bring xiaobai to the vet for his checkup and injection and i even dared to touch him for a while.. heez..

xiaobai's nt so scary afterall... when he gets out of d house thou'..
at home, he's super hyper active, energetic and fierce..
he nv fails to bark fiercely at me whenever he sees me at dearie's home..
thou he often stops after a while, but still d sudden fierce barking already scares me out..
but xiaobai behaves so differently when he's out of the hse..
he gets curious abt the surroundings and kept turning his head all over to look at the scenery outside the car..
he just looks like a little child who's going out for a trip..
for a moment, he looked really CUTE!

for the past almost-one-year, i've nv seen xiaobai behaved so well..
he was trembling while he was at the vet.. the little poor thing is scared of injections..

today's the 1st time i sat so close to xiaobai, 1st time i touched and sayang him..
i hope i'm making good progress here... :)

be frenz with me will u, xiaobai?

i had such a gr8 time with baby today..
my darling was super nice to accompany me to bras basah to look for the chinese books that i wanted to get and he helped me to carry all those heavy loads w/o any complaints at all...
i'm juz so blessed to have such a nice dearie! hee :)

we spent d whole afternoon hopping from one bookstore to another, where we met WeiQi from superband champion, MLB at one of d design bookstores.. hee..

MLB in their most SHUAI costumes during the competition!!!

we had lunch at Jack's Place too.. Baby had Grilled Chicken with Plum Sauce while i had Fish & Chips, n of coz nt forgetting our favourite Lobster Bisque...yummilicious!!!

ard 5+ we made our way to Esplanade to catch d fireworks. The whole place was already rather crowded when we reached despite it was onli abt 6pm..
Its d 2nd time i watched fireworks with my baby.. but the feeling is different from the previous time, each time, itz always a unique feeling...

me & the love of my life @ The Esplanade

apologises to all for nt updating as regulary as last time..

school has started again..
it was sth i was looking forward to initially, but after d first day in sch (which was yday), i think i'm having second thoughts.. lolz..
started off the day with a bad n malu experience which i'm nt going to elaborate further on.. but one thing for sure is i HATE the current bus interchange @ Boon Lay!!!!
the 199 & 179 bus berth is so damn freaking far away from the MRT stn!!! kns!!!
which means, more time has to be spent on travelling = leaving home earlier, lesser sleeping time... :(

like many others on d same boat, i'm flooded with d overwhelming number of assignments, projects, tests n examz!
imagine, juz d first day of school n u're loaded with 3 individual assignments, 1 grp seminar, 1 tutorial discussion... it sure drives ppl mad!
i really dun dare to think how i am going to meet d datelines...
itz juz so scary! :(

on top of that, looking at d amount of notes we have also freaks me out!
instead of trying to conserve d environment, we're destroying lotsa trees with d amount of paper we used.. haha...

looking at d timetable, monday seems d "best" day dat we hv.... d "best" day to tk MC dat is.. :p
monday blues are sure going to prevail, with d day only ending at 1830.. sighz..

i hope i can survive thru this stressful semester..


on a lighter note, think the only good thing that happened yday was that i managed to meet up with my dear gf, Michelle, for lunch @ NIE canteen as she happens to be working at d NIE labs.. hehez.. itz juz so nice to tk a break from all the notes n stuffz to hang out with ur buddies... *Mic, more lunch dates to come k?*

enuf said... itz back to preparations for the grp seminar... so adios ppl! :)

finally caught up with my JC gfs after so long..
it was a nice dinner yday evening at taka's Central, d place where i've alwaz passed by it, but w/o knowing wad's d name of d place...lolz
anyway, dat's a place that sells HK cuisine.. food wise nt too bad, pricing oso qutie reasonable.. :)

but still, d highlight of d evening was catching up with my gers..
mx started her working life while bel n i r still struggling with sch..
mx was complaining on how she dislike d working hrs (fyi, she's working at citibank)
bel was dreading on sch reopen nxt wk
i was commenting on how no life my life is...

we all realised, time really waits for no man..
thks to mx, she reminded us that in 8yrs' time, our age will start with d scary "3"!!
oh my, d mere thot of it is enough to send shiver down my spine...

bel n i recalled on how 4yrs ago we were lamenting on wanting to go watch WC2006 in Germany... our gr8 plans to save $$ for d air tix etc etc..
but reality bites, WC2006 is over, n we're still stuck in pathetic SG, with no $$ to travel... WC2010 came into our minds yday but... tink by den, we'll hardly even hv time to breathe since we shld probably be oredi drowned in work at dat time n we probably wun know many players anymore... dat's pretty sad.. our common frequency seemed to be dying slowly... fading away as the days go past...

bel commented on how she fears to repay her sch loans after she grad... hearing that humongous sum of money that she gotta cough out frightens me!
suddenly i'm glad dat i'm in NIE, thou bonded, but i dun hv to worry abt repaying sch debts... heez

we parted on our ways after an enjoyable meal, but b4 departing, we agreed to make it a pt to at least meet once every mth... true frenz r hard to come by, especially those whom u can connect freely to.. they're d ones who'll remind u dat life is nt dat bad after struggling in society... thus they're to be treasured!

took bus hm with mx while bel embarked on her mrt journey...
on our bus journey hm, mx n i talked abt our future, our bfs, our plans for marriage etc..
surprisingly both of us planned to settle down ard 25/26..
n we both agreed that the one by our side now is really THE ONE! :)
thot we shared some common thots, but still on some pts, we both hv different views, she feels that they ought to hv their own hse while i feel itz ok nt to hurry over getting a new hse. she wants to enjoy 2persons' life after marriage for a while b4 settling for kids whereas i told her i'll let nature tk itz own course..
thou our opinions differ at some pt of time, but itz really nice to hv others share their opinions with u..

guess itz really time to start saving...
for future, for marriage, for kids, for everything...
coz time simply waits for no man...

yoHz ppL!!! i'M BaCk!!!

to loyal readers out there, SORRY for not updating for so long... been bz for d past mth.. close frenz wld hv known d reason... :)

anyway, nw dat i'm back, i'll try to resume updating frequently ya.. ;)

the past mth has been a reali fruitful mth as well as a bz mth..
i was sent for school attachment at Kranji Primary School
initially, i had some reservations abt going to a school which is so far away from home, but after the first few days there, my whole conception changed.
i've slowly grown to like this school, the people there and the kids too..

i got a "floating" timetable and was scheduled to take a P2 and a P4 class.. n due to d lack of space in d school, or rather shld i say the overwhelming number of teachers i nd school, there was hardly space to contain the six of us, so we got our "office" in the staff resource room.. which we later named it as staff room 3. thou it was only a small space, but we liked it alot as it is less stressing compared to the other two staff rooms as there was no one else other than d six of us.. thus we hv a greater space of freedom... :)

here's the six of us who got posted to Kranji Primary :)
(L to R: Mr Sherefudin, Ms Go, Ms Razifah, Ms Tan, Ms Zhao, Ms Nala)


our staff room 3

my super-packed table


me and my P2 babies during Racial Harmony Day (21/07/06)


me and half of my P4 class


i actually hv lotsa stuffz to say abt this practicum, but somehow, i'm lost for words.. thruout this whole period, it was really hard trying to juggle life n work.
i could hardly afford to spend real quality times with my baby, but luckily i hv a super understanding dearie, who's alwaz by my side, giving me his fullest support, despite nt being able to meet up with him dat often.. thanks darling!!

there were lotsa stress too, planning lesson plans, planning activities etc..
d lack of sleep everyday, the "torture" of rushing out lesson plans late at night..
there were times when i really feel like giving up.. but nice colleagues ard me stood by me, giving me encouragments and support.. really appreciate it alot! thx frenz! :)

Mr Sherefudin, Ms Razifah, Ms Go & Ms Nala


Ms Go & Ms Razifah

thanks to these wonderful frenz who nv fail to brighten up my days in Kranji..
i've learnt that itz really not ez being a teacher. itz juz not as simple as wad others perceived it to be. many ppl say, being a teacher is ez, juz hv to give students homework n dat's it??!? but hv u ever wondered, d workload that a teacher would hv to face d moment he/she gives out an assignment? each student has to do only 1 piece, while the teacher has to mark at least 40 pieces, which in my case i hv to mark 65 pieces as i've got 2 classes.. n that's nt counting the different variations of homework that d students can hv... itz indeed nt ez, and on top of that, teachers hv to deal with notorious kids.. phew~ tough job! so kudos to all the teachers!

i actually enjoyed my stay in Kranji Primary School..
special thanks to all the teachers there who gave me a helping hand during my stay there.. it juz feel like a BIG family over at Kranji..

it was really a nice experience... :D
