muahaha
guess where i am blogging from..

I am blogging from the mushroom room in the Art room..sneaky sneaky. i anticipated that i'd be idol fer a while cos poor ms hew is sickii and on MC. so i'm all alone, by my lonesome..no lessons until 1230. THus! i brought my laptop and woohoo! i am able to connect it to the internet. hehe. so slackerish. i feel so bad. but i really have nothing to do le...shall just sit around and think bout the J1s' UOB..

Yesterday went to watch 'Becoming Jane' at cine. another P&P like film. so if u liked P&P, u'd love this too, even though i think this one is a lot more difficult to understand. They're using early modern english according to my bro. but u get the gist of it la. super nice, and super sad also. oh well. =) that's a good film. =D Then mama and papa came down to cine also to have dinner with me. sara joined. ate at that tepanyaki place on the 4th floor. dad says all the food tastes the same. *shrugs. i like it. =P

and i'm blind.

today twas my first day working at NYJC.
it was strange
and scary.
but i hope i get the hang of it.

it's not like working at OPSS at all. small class, one on one tutorials, very guai, very quiet. good bunch of kids. but they're so much older, and i feel so young next to them. too young maybe. i still face challenges, though, their a totally different set of challenges in comparison to Sec school woes. i must seriously get the hang of it. relax and chill...be confident of myself and hopefully, i will be able to help them. =)

help them or make a fool out of myself.

i've got a big hole in my head.
a big bleedin hole...

went back to NY today with the intention of collecting my reference from mrs ng, to settle admin about my new job, and to sit in fer the J1s tutorial - to familiarise myself with their work. ya...but in the end mrs ng hadn't finished my referal..cos she's super bz..haish. and they shocked me with a surprise visit to mr nathan who wanted to make sure i was worthy to relief teach there. it's so damn weird going into the HOD room and sitting in front of mr nathan with mrs ng...so so so super weird...YA! then Mrs Ng surprised me AGAiN when she said that i would be starting on MOndAy already..when i thought it was in APril..haish...got a shock AGAIN in front of Mr nathan. HAISH! but it's ok. i'm enthu.

so then i sat in fer J1 tutorial and learnt about their UOB works..i have work to do. must think of ideas fer them in case they come to me and 'i stare at you, you stare at me'. bleah. not too bad, i think i'll be able to handle it. =) then as usual when talk to the teachers always end up laughing non stop, i was smiling and laughing the whole time, my jaw was literally aching. =) good times. i'm really glad to have the opportunity ta work in NY! I'M SO DAMN LUCKY!!! really hope i will do a good job. =D HEEEEEEEEX!

rain rain all day long
gloomy and soggy


yes. it's been quite a while since i've blogged. to me anyway. just to update, i've been busy applying to Universities and scholarships over the past week, writing essays and filling in forms. i just submitted my moe scholarship application yesterday actually. FINALLY got down to doing my personal statement and after letting it be vetted by a lot a lot of ppl, i sent it in. now have to work on my UCAS application to goldsmith and slade. Did u noe, that even if we submit now, like a week after A level results, we would actually be counted as late applicants in the UK. that really sucks...but shall try to apply as much as i can none the less.


MY FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!!!


today went down to British Council with shang, sL and xinli to try and clarify our doubts about application, but it wasn't really of much help la. the guy told us to check with the admissions ppl from the Uni itself. so useless. more work fer me to do...after that went to Plaza Sing to mope around...tomoro meeting shang and sL again fer lunch then going to sL's house to play (like primary school liddat).


anyway.
on a more exciting note...
i decided to treat myself to a little present.
which so happened to burn a gigantic hole in my pocket.


IPOD TOUCH!!!

so many things to do
so little time


we went to xinli's ulu little house on sunday!
it was super ulu.
okok. it was beside the main road, the highway more like.
but it was still knda ulu.
beside a grave yard and all the stones were staring.
anyway. XINLI IS AN AWESOME CHEF!
he made alfredo spaghetti for us,
and soup,
and CHOCOLATE MOUSSE!!!!
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!
and the table was set so nicely!!!
XINLI YOU ROCK MAN!
Thanks so so much.
u're the best host in the world. =)
we are strongly considering hiring xinli to be our chef in london. XP


speaking of london. i have so many things to do. applications to Universities and scholarships, personal statements! so frustrating trying to write the BEST piece of writing ever! cos it has to be the BEST if i wanna get even shortlisted. omg. plus so many dealines to meet i'm so stressed even when i'm not working. but if everything goes smoothly, i'll be sailing of to london in september. =) can't wait.

then we researched on UK universities together.
YAY!!!! FINALLY GOT PPL SERIOSULY CONSIDERING GOING UK WITH ME!

FRIDAY, 7TH MARCH 2008, 2:30PM

i shall try not to think about results day. cos if i do think bout it, i noe i'll go absolutely out of my mind.

went back to OPSS at noon to sign some stuff at the office. at the same time to visit dear beryl and yuting and mebe to catch a glimpse of some of my students. Yuting and the other teacher seem to be doing very well and things look much more organised and neat in comparison to when i was there. haish. i guess i left a mess fer them to clean up..haish. got me thinking once again if teaching is really really something that i wanna do fer at least 6 years of my life, if i get the scholarship. but then again, it's the only way i'm gonna get to study fine arts overseas, if not it's adm or something else which i really am not that excited bout. mebe i should try again, in a different school or somethin, or go back to OPSS in April (and mess up what yuting has done there? haish)

i feel incompetent.

anyway. went to eat lunch with beryl at swensens b4 going down to city hall to buy my 'little black dress' from zara. went to Bugis next to meet Heather and walk on Bugis street, then went to clark quay central to shop some more. haha. was great hanging out with them. so glad to have made new friends like them. =) though they like to gang up on me to annoy me. inoe how janice feels now. lol.

i think i spent a bomb today. the dress, then a necklace, then a belt and then a hair clip thing. i think i spent like at least $100, probably more. i need to save cos i feel poor now that i'm not working.

i must down to the seas again
to the lonely sea and sky
and all i ask
is a tall ship and star
to steer her by

talk to me.



i carry your heart.



e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
i am never without it
anywhere i go you go,
my dear;
and whatever is done
by only me
is your doing,
my darling

i fear no fate
for you are my fate,
my sweet
i want no world
for beautiful you are my world,
my true
and it's you are
whatever a moon
has always meant
and whatever a sun
will always sing
is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky
of a tree called life;
which grows higher
than the soul can hope
or mind can hide
and this is the wonder
that's keeping the stars apart.

i carry your heart
i carry it in my heart

here
there is love



Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.

It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

love never fails
