Hello guys! Its been so long since i last blogged. Been so busy with school and other activities that i hardly have time to come online to blog! Thank goodness next week's the last week of school and very soon, i'll be counting down to my well deserved holidays! 6 months of nothing but rest and relaxation! How cool is that? Well, before i start on my activties for the next 6 months, let's just wrap up what i've done for the past one week shall we?
Monday
Always a torture for we all have to endure XXX's lecture. It's amazing how all of us managed to survive the past 2 and a half months of pure toture. Not only do we not understand a single shit the lecturer's talking about, we even have to bear with the lecturer's sarcasm. What the hell?! ( specially for qiaolin) Thank god tomorrow's the last lecture or i really wouldn't know how to bear with it!
Tuesday
Not so much of a torture but school ended real late on that day. Luckily for us, lecturers are all wrapping up their syllabus. Hopefully there will be no more hurrying and rushing the coming week. Tuesday was the start on a tiring week after having two long whole days in school.
Wednesday
Attended luo fu teng's lecture and we were asked to do an evaluation. Why are we always asked to do an evaluation only at the end of each semester? Shouldn't it be halfway through the term? This way, the lecturer's would be able to know his faults and rectify them asap so that his students get the most of his lessons. Handing out evaluation forms at the end of each semester only enables the lecturer to review his teaching methods only at the end of the module enabling him to do better in the following semesters FOR OTHER STUDENTS. Get this, NOT US. What the hell?! ( Again, dedicated to qiaolin)
Thursday
A tiring day. Had my first ever excursion in NIE. It was a learning journey, something in which we all have to go through thru out our primary and secondary school years. I learnt alot albeit the hot weather and the fact that i wore jeans. Ha ha ha. Visited places such as Little India, Chinatown as well as Kampong Glam. It was an interesting excursion but i'm sure lecturers over at NIE could do better with the pricing. $25 for 3 hours of running and rushing is a bit to ask of us poor students.
Straight after the excursion which ended at a late hour of 6pm, qiaolin, yiting and i rushed to city hall hoping to grab a quick bite before yiting whisks off for her driving while sweet qiaolin stayed with me till my dance. Yes, last week was the start of Reggae 2 for me and it was tough! Lots of shaking and sweating but it was a good workout though. I'm looking forward to the next lesson!
Thursday was also a fiery day for me. Sorry to whoever i lost my temper to. PMS-ing isn't a good excuse for my temper i know and i do apologize with all my heart. I love you so much my baby.
Friday
Last day of the week is always fun for we've got weekends to look forward to and the fact that the coming week's the last week gives us more reason to rejoice. Nothing much happened in school that day just that it was a slack day. Oh did i mention that i had a very embarrassing encounter at NIE's canteen? All because we (qiaolin and i) were afraid of houseflies. Thank god yiting wasn't with us or she would be so embarrassed to have us as her buddies.
Saturday
Went shopping for our household furnitures at places like victoria street, balestier plaza as well as katong mall. I'm glad to say that i've gotten my study chair which means that i no longer have to sit on the floor to do my work!
Went the the biggest car showroom in Singapore at Ubi ave 2 and i was greatly disappointed for my Kia Picanto was out of stock so i'm desperately trying to find someone who is willing to sell off their second hand picanto at a reasonable price. Yes, the sales consultant was right. No use getting a brand new car when i'm still a greenhorn to driving. Perhaps i will upgrade to a better car when i'm more financially stable. Nissan march maybe?
Today
And i miss my baby so much. Thanks for everything my love. You light up my life and you're my source of support. I wouldn't know what to do without you. I love you so much

As the saying goes, "Better late than never". Well, i do agree with this sentence to a certain extent. After many failed attempts, i have finally passed my driving test and have gotten the much coveted driving license! I'm just short of a car. Sponsors anyone?? I wanna thank everyone who has been supporting me all these while...
To my ever so excited Yiting, thanks for always being there for me!
To the ever so concerned Qiaolin, thanks for calling and messaging me when you didn't hear from me after a long period of time. I love you!
And to you too, my dearest Amanda. Thanks for everything!
Last but not least, thank you to someone who has been there for me thru thick and thin. Someone who never fail to make me laugh. Someone who never fail to control his temper whenever i'm PMS-ing. Thank you Darling. This license's for you. I love you.
3 more weeks till the end of school. Come on girls, you can do it!

I realised that the Singapore education system isn't all that flawless after all. From the teaching of the chinese language to the requirements of us teachers, i have found so many loopholes. Teachers now hold the awful responsibility of delivering what they have learnt to their pupils. Teachers have this huge burden of ensuring their students pass with flying colours. However, how is this possible when there are flaws even in the Chinese language textbook? Shouldn't the books be accepted by all chinese teachers? Why is it that even workbooks and textbooks are not acceptable by NIE teachers' standards?
Had my longest ever lesson at NIE today, sitting at the lecture theatre for three hours straight without even going out for a toilet break. Yes, teachers at NIE are very passionate when it comes to teaching. Yes, they are very knowledgeable and intelligent and what have you. Perhaps, they are too passionate. They could talk on and on for 3 hours without even stopping for a toilet break or a water break. Yes, we're nearing the semester and there's a need to wrap up the syllabus but the problem is, why wait till there's 5 weeks left to holidays and you start rushing like nobodies' business? Granted, you were ill last week but what about the other lecturers? One either wastes too much time asking questions or the other's too "lor soh" spending an hour revising the previous week's lecture leaving just one and a half hours to complete a total of 60 powerpoint slides leaving us all confused and irritated at the end of the lesson. The student suffers when the teacher comes unprepared for the lesson. How very true.
Never mind, from young we've learnt that students have no say in whatever the teacher's teaching, we students have got no say in how the teacher teaches as long as he/she completes the syllabus. If only schools were as liberal as the US government, i would have stood up in class and corrected each and every teacher and tell them our feelings. What a thought. What a dream. Ah, just live with it i guess. I just hope i'll be a better teacher in time to come.
P.S. I miss THE boyfriend

I'm happy tonight. Don't ask me why but i am. Only you know the reason for my emotions. Thank you for making this day so special. Thank you for making the past year so memorable. Thank you for being so patient and kind. Last but not least, thank you for loving me.
Caught "A walk to remember" on Channel 5 today and it brought me thinking. Love, a simple word yet has an undeniably huge effect on a person. Love, a simple feeling, yet has the power to change anyone. I felt the same after watching "World trade centre". I felt the need to tell my loved ones that i will love them and cherish them till the day that i die. I felt the urge to hug my dearies and tell them how much i love them. Lastly, i felt the importance of life. Never will i stupidly try to end any problems with suicide.
I'm now counting down to the end of october. By then, the bulk of my stress would be gone. By then, i would almost be free to do whatever i wish to do. 15th November to be exact. The day of my freedom. The day when i start anew. The day when i will start planning for my future...
39 more days to freedom

In Darkness
Time seems to be slipping away and with each passing day, i feel more and more stressed up over school what with projects and tests coming up. All undone because i've been procrastinating since day one. One good thing however, is that we're only left with 5 weeks of school before we start on an endless holiday. Man, am i counting down to the days when i can sleep in till 10am, slack and eat then go back to sleep again.
Things are going alittle slow for me these days and with each passing day, i feel my health deteriorating further. First, there was this infection which kept me running the the toilet every 5 minutes, then there was this awful pain in my back which worried me. Next, my collar bone started hurting like nobodies' business and finally, my foot's swollen. Not the whole foot, just the joint which connects my big toe and my foot. Yeah, how did i ever get to hurt that part? Beats me as well. Perhaps i really am losing myself with each passing day. Not good for a young and pretty girl to be this sick all the time. Then again, my appetite hasn't decreased in the least bit. Perhaps this is what they call it, the glow before death? Ha ha
胡老师 called in sick today but she still endured her gastric pain to come to school just to give us instructions for the next assignment as well as to give us our mini test. I so admire her. Looking at her pale face standing infront of us today gave me an undescribable urge to go right up to her and give her one long comforting hug. I know how it feels like having gastric pains. Trust me, you couldn't even stand properly. Sometimes, even sitting down is a torture to you. Then, i told myself that i want to be a responsible teacher like her. I want to be as responsible to my students as she is to us. Then again, QL said that with my low moral values, its a bit too much to ask. Well my dear, we'll just see how it goes yea? I may just be enlightened in the next few days and be as good as can be! Take care my dear teacher.
Soon, i'll be completing my course in Reggae I, introductory course. I have to say i'm really proud of myself. I came, i dance, i conquered, all by myself. People say i'm crazy. People say i'm weird but what's wrong with doing things all by myself? Dancing doesn't have to be in pairs. Talking about dancing in pairs, ROGER TAN remember what you promised me!!! Learning a new type of dance is always challenging and i'm proud to say that i'm getting the hang of it. 3 weeks later, i'll be embarking on another level of Reggae and let's hope i do as well yeah?
*crosses fingers*
A week ago, i celebrated a very important day of my life at a pub in Clarke Quay - Crazy Elepant. It was one of the best nights of my life. We started off with dinner at Manhattan Fish Market. Man, the seafood platter was HUGE! This was my first time ever with baby and i truly enjoyed myself. The food mostly, ha ha. Next, we went to a place which was unforgettable to us in everyway. The drinks, the atmosphere, the date as well as that something special. I will remember this day for the rest of my life baby. I love you so much and thanks for being there for me whenever i needed you.
Mouth watering seafood platter!

After all that i've eaten, all that i've drank, it is time for me to lose some serious weight. Urgh! If only one never gains any weight..
