A day's out with the kids...

Went down to Northlight early in the morning...

The kids were supposed to have class outing whereby they decide where they wanna go and what they wanna do.

And we must be there to help the teachers, but most importantly to interact with the kids who are quite hard to interact with at times. *tsk tsk*

Aniwae, I was attached to a class that wanted to go swimming at Katong... (?!?!?!?!?)

Dunno if I'm lucky or wad.

But it was an experience, though. *hehs*

Some classes went to East Coast Park and Pasir Ris Park to cycle and whatsnot...

And two classes decided to go PULAU UBIN.

*gasps*

Go there to feed the mozzies for free? No thanks.

Fortunately none of us had to go with that two, erm, unique classes. The PGDE ppl took care of it. *hehs*

Aniwae, something really scary happened at the pool when the kids were swimming.

This girl became unconscious IN the water less than 15 mins later.

The other kids thought she was playing with them. None of us teachers noticed anything wrong when suddenly her friends shouted.

That girl was totally knocked out and her face was facing down in the water. The lifeguard called out to two students to pull her over to the side of the pool (no, the lifeguard didnt jump in to save her when I thought he should.)

They pulled her up, but she was not breathing.

Her mouth and eyes were opened wide with no focus. It was like she was being possessed or something.

Scary.

The lifeguard tried to wake her up and get her to breathe.

Xie tian xie di, she started to cough up some water.

They then carried her to the sick bay, and everything went back to normal.

*sigh*

Luckily nothing happened to her and the kids later.

What a horrible experience.

*** *** ***

Well, I think I got along pretty fine with the kids.

Some of them are REALLY friendly, while some of them are REALLY shy and quiet. But most of them are REALLY noisy.

*hahah*

There's dis boy who asked for my friendster and msn, and started telling me his life story.

Another boy thinks I'm cute. (?!?!?!)

*wahahahaha*

And a girl wants me to go watch movies with them.

*smirks*

*** *** ***

After the swim, we got back to the school and the teachers ordered pizza for the kids.

While waiting for their lunch, they went to the Students' Centre to play Xbox, pool, watch TV and simply relax.

So shiok rite...

My friend and I paired up and we had a game of pool with two students.

We thrashed them badly.

*wahahahs*

They also have the basketball "machine" at one corner... If Hui and Celes were there, they'd be damn happy cos they can shoot endlessly (the games are all FOC).

Students nowadays are soooo blessed. *tsk tsk*

28th November 2007

Let me now draw ur attention to my ultra + most traumatic experience ever...........

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I STEPPED RIGHT ON A SUPERDUPER FAT LIZARD IN THE MIDDLE AND ITS TAIL CAME STRAIGHT OFF AND STUPID *&$*%^ LIZARD STARTED CHASING AFTER ME FOR FIVE FEET OR SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that horrendous???

I'm deeply traumatised okie!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, I wasnt sorrie for that sicko lizard and the pain that I induced on him. Or her.

I was DISGUSTED by the fact that my birkies actually had contact with such gross and irksome inhabitants.

And I was even MORE disgusted when the lizard actually got the 'face' to chase after me.

What the hell!

Am I to blame for your pathetic tail to get separated from your pathetic fatass body?

Blame yourself for showing in the middle of a broad daylight and crossed my path lah!

How dare you.

*ggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

I'm still having goosebumps when I thought of it.

Things would be worse if it had crawled up on me.

*EEEEEEKKKSSS!!!!!!*

I believe I'd go naturally mad that my hair became like Einstein's.

I'd also launch an anti-lizards campaign worldwide to gather strength and support to kill off all lizards, black or white or beige, fat or skinny, long or short, cute or not, so that our world can become a better one.

And then Mao and Hitler would be proud of me.

Maybe XX too. Cos I think she's not a fan of lizards too.

So fatass, you and your kinds have officially and successfully topped my list of The World's Most Evil Creatures.

Cats, you may be pleased to downgrade to 2nd position, but you are still evil. Dun be too happy yet.

Not yet over...

My last history paper on films... totally unexpected.

Dunno where I got the courage to commit suicide when I decided to do that question.

Seriously hope I don't buang...

But I'm glad the exams are over. Like, finally!!!

*whoosh*

Went to look for my prof to get my grade for the film essay paper.

Got a shock when I saw the grade.

Utterly unbelievable.

An amazing A-.

*wahahaha*

Man, it was such a relief... really didn't expect such a grade.

Happie happie~ =)

As usual, Dad came to pick me up at school, and the journey back home was a scary one.

The rain was soooooooo heavy that we couldnt even see the road ahead. We could only look out for the car in front of us.

I would be soooo dead if I were to be caught in that kind of situation.

All right, the pictures did not do justice to the rain.

But you know what I mean.

So Singapore has entered the monsoon season.

Which makes me really worried for the camp in December. We're going to bring the kids to East Coast Park okie! Rain whichever day you want, but not on the 4th Dec okie dokie???

*sigh*

Although exams are over, the sem's not totally over yet.

I've still got a major project to complete. People like us must be committed in serving the committee, that's why we have the service learning project.

*tsk tsk*

I guess everyone else in my year also chionging for their GESL projects. So I'm not alone... *hehs*

Tomorrow's our trial camp at Northlight.

Hope it'll turn out well.

*cross fingers*

One last one.

YAY!!!!

I'm officially more than halfway through Nov's horrible ordeal.

Monday's THE day, man!!! Official closure of the sem and grand opening of the holidays. *hehs*

Today's paper.......the questions are quite expected, cos of the very obvious hints given by our dear profs. They are THE best!!! =)

But I wouldnt be sure if I've done well. But then, I tried my best.

Was damn hungry after squeezing all my valuable brain juice for Presley, Lennon, Hitler and Mao...

Had sakae sushi for dinner at DTE with my parents juz then.

My treat.

*hehs*

It was very crowded at DTE, cos kiddies are having their holidays. *rolls eyes*

Then I saw groups of youngsters (think they're only sec 4?) dressed up to the nines. Girls with extra thick makeup, wearing gowns and heels too high for them... Guys with styled-for-hours hair and fake suits...

Ahhhh~

They must be having their prom night at D'Marquee.

So weird rite... Prom nite at DTE??? Whose creative idea is that???

But then again, I thought of my own prom nite, and DTE became the atas (high class) venue, cos my prom nite was held at ta-atas (low class) place:

IN THE SCHOOL HALL.

Ya lor. Pathetic, right? Other people's proms either go to a 5-star hotel or any places other than the school.

Fortunately that hall was air-conditioned, or else I'd rather stay at home and watch Simpsons or sth.

So if next time I were to be given a chance to organise a prom nite for the school, I'd risk my life no matter what and fight for an expensive hotel to hold the event.

Just so I can fulfil my personal desire.

*hehs*

p.s: Dreading the weekend. Dreading Vietnam War.

The wait is horrible.

I'm supposed to do a quick last-minute revision NOW for my biography & history paper later at 1pm, but here I am. Oh well. I can always revise during the nong nong train ride. *hehs*

After stalking lustylester's bloggie, I was utterly fascinated by his courageous and shameless attitude towards posting digusting (oops!) but full of sexiness pics of himself. *hahs*

So I decided to pluck up my own courage and put myself in his shoes: being a narcissist............

hmmm....

My gosh! What's happening to my mane?!?!?!?! Time for Kimage (psss....no Kenchi pls!)

*sobs* I can't believe I'm doing all this nonsensical things when my paper is four fricking hours away. Please forgive me. *sobs*

...........................

*bleahz*

Pardon me while I go vomit first.

...........................

I think no one can compete with Lustylester for his ultimate narcassism and cranky sense of humour. *hahs*

Omg omg omg.

To wait for the time to come is torturous.

I lost the mood and drive to revise any more cos I think I've got all the points in my head. But it's the 2.5 hours that scares me. I'm so worried that I can't complete my essays in time. *tsk tsk*

Two more papers to go. Five more days left to the final one.

Please let me survive through this.

$100k is at stake.

*shakes head hopelessly*

Tats.

OMG.I'm supposed to be online searching for more info on the stupid Long March, but then Mao really pissed me off, so I decided to take a break. *haha*

Then I looked at BeBe, who's lying oh-so-carefreely on the floor beside me, accompanying me through the endless nong nong notes, when suddenly a dreadful and frightening thought came into my mind:

"What if one day she's gone? What can I do to keep a part of her in me?"

Then tattoos popped up in my mind. Tats are the only thing I can think of that can keep something permanently stuck on me.*haha*

Guess I'm deeply intrigued by Miami Ink, a show about six extremely talented tattoo artistes who opened a shop in Miami, and their stories were told through their different clients who come to get tats from them. Interesting, eh?

My personal fave is Ami James, one of the owners of the studio. He's tough and single. *haha* Not that I'm interested. But I mentioned he's single for the benefit of other people, like Lester.

Check him out:

Cool right? He's tough (oh ritey, i've mentioned he's tough before.) and cute, aint he? And this guy has got character. And talents in arts. And a sense of humour. And sexy. But he's got quite a temper. *wahaha*

So how, Leslie? Interested?? Got send your heart pumping twice its rate?? *grinz*

Nvm if Ami doesnt attract you. Look further down and hopefully you'll find one who does!

This is Chris Nunez, the other owner of the shop:

Darren Brass, the small guy with a big heart. =)

Chris Garner, the most experienced and the one who taught Ami the art of tattoos:

The only lady in the shop, Kat Von D:

Ami's loyal apprentice, Yojiro 'Yoji' Harada:

Their studio:

We are one big family... =)

I've been a fan of this show since season 1, and now they're already at season 2!! Which shows how successful and popular it is. Too bad it's only shown at cable TV. But dun fret, those who dint signed up for SCV. There's YouTube, you know?

Aniwae, I've been spending my nights recently watching Miami Ink. (i know, i'm supposed to be studying, but heck.) And I forgot which episode, made me wanna get a tat sooooo badly.

There's this guy who's really a dog-lover. His relationship with his dog, Calibre (see, I'm so engrossed that I actually remembered the doggie's name rather than its owner's.) is really strong, and he actually loved Calibre more than his gf! So much so that he decided to get a tat of Cal on his left arm. Superduper cool can!! Kat tattooed him, and the result was utterly unbelievable. She's so talented that it's like she's zapping Cal's face directly onto his arm!! It's like, a mirror reflection of the real Cal, but in ink (I tried finding that particularly pic so I can show u, but I can't).

Now that guy has got his most loyal companion with him wherever he goes, even if Cal suddenly drops dead one day *choy choy* but you know what I mean.

So!

I've made up my mind. I'm gg to save enough $$$ to fly over to the US one fine day and visit Kat and get her to do a small tat of BeBe on my, let's see, right side of the waist.

Maybe one day you lots will get to see MY own story on TV. *wahaha*

But I must finish my bond first. Will not risk offending the boss.

Aniwae, I must say that tattoos nowadays do not symbolise thugs, gangs or other negative images you can think of.

If you ask me, it's an art. It's a way to remember, to commemorate, to serve as a reminder, to act like a motto in one's life.

So dun go using tinted glasses to view someone who's got tats all over his body. See it as a way of exhibiting a piece of art work.

Even if that person is a yalam. Give him the benefit of doubt that he's got some artistic sense in him to get a tat done.

=)

A Break from Studying

After cooping in the house for, erm, three days, I escaped my supposedly two weeks 'confinement'.

Which is why I need to salute those army ppl... *ha!* (But I guess they have no choice bah~) *heehee*

Went out for three consecutive days... BUT!!! It's a chop chop trip whereby I dun spent hours outside...

*tsk tsk*

All my mum's fault. She seduced me into going out with her. *shakes head*

We went to TM just now to get my luggage for the tai-tai trip...*ha!*

Wah, that woman.

She kept saying she regretted going to the trip with us cos she bu she de my dad, who'll be all alone in pasir ris for that four days.

????!!!!

I got very pek chek whenever I heard her say that. In the first place, why agree to go with us?!?!?!

BUT THEN HOR.

She's totally excited for the trip can!!!

Kept asking me things about the trip.

Like wad to wear...whether her sandals can make it or not... how many pieces of clothes to bring, etc.... you know wad I mean lah.

On one hand, she's harping on her guilt for leaving my dad behind, but on the other hand, she's like, can't wait for Dec to come and off we fly to thai-thai.

*haiz*

Wad a woman.

Aniwae, we needed a luggage, so that calls for this 'outing' to Isetan.

Spent a great deal of time choosing, although there's only like, three kinds of luggages for us to choose?

Finally, we decided on one. Brown with some designs. Pretty pretty. She paid for it ($79), but I got to use it. *heehee*

Oh, dun be stunned (or stupid). That's not my luggage.

That Sembonia bag is totally not within my plan.

I happened to notice it, shiningly tucked on the display shelf, and it was love at first sight... *haha!*

Cost me 120 bucks... NOT! That's its original price aniwae. I got it at half the price. *heheh* Wad a bargain.

OMG. I can't believe it.

I'm supposed to be diligently studying at home cos my exam is in 3 days time *gasps* but there I was, happily shopping away!

*tsk tsk*

But hey! I deserve a break okie!

And the money has come in...so can spend a bit lah~

(trying to justify for my unnecessary spending)

Aniwae, after hurling the luggage around (I must carry it cos I din pay for it. *hrmpf*), we went to LaSenza and bought lots of lingerie!!! Happie happie cos I finally got to use the gift voucher... *haha*

Treated my mum to lunch cos she paid for the luggage. I swear she's going to use that excuse to exploit me forever.

Dad came to pick us up, but due to communication breakdown between him and mum, he mixed up the waiting place.

So we had to stand in the rain at the main road so he can see us.

Poor me! Had to struggle with so many packages and a huge luggage in the rain.

And that woman, being too anxious looking out for the car, totally forgot to shelter me from her umbrella. If I fall sick during this critical period............

*tsk tsk*

Under normal circumstances, I would flare up and start to throw my xiao jie pi qi around.

But then hor... amazingly, I was, like, smiling away as though nothing could spoil my mood for the day.

*hahahah*

Okie, enough digressing.

Must get back to China and Mao and his stupid Long March.

*sigh*

The Manhattan Fish Market @ The Central

6th Nov: Pauline-the-dancer-who-can't-stop-dancing's birthday.

7th Nov: Celes-the-miss-not-so-punctuality's birthday.

So the usual gang met up at The Central for a sumptuous dinner @ The Manhattan Fish Market (for your ignorance, dun mistaken it for a REAL fish market. It's a restaurant okie. We are atas ppl)...

As usual, we were all late. *hahah*

Oh just to digress a little...

I went back to school for a bloody short meeting. It lasted for less than an HOUR. Bloody hell. Made me travel ALLLLLL da way. Grrrrr..... Might as well dun go. Only less than 10 ppl turned up when there's 26 of us.

And I'm sick lor! (Oh another digression: I finally succumbed to Mr. Nose-Blocked and consulted the doc yesterday. *tsk tsk*)

Okie. Going back to Manhattan.

Oh ya. We went to the one at The Central, Clarke Quay. There's another one at Plaza Singapura too. Not bad a place. Can tell the business is VERY good from the outrageous long queue during dinnertime.

But we still got our table for 8... =)

Ordered lots of seafood. *haha* Xiang & Tiong both tried the Manhattan Fish & Chips:

Quite nice. But the fish was a tad too salty.

We the four gals shared Manhattan Giant Fried Fish Platter, and Hui & I ordered Manhattan Caesar Salad as well (but dint take a pic of it cos it was already attacked b4 we could shoot it):

There's big crispy prawns, calamari rings, fried mushrooms, fried fish fillets. All served with fries and butter rice. *yummyz*

Food was great, and it's very affordable too! It's on my list for places-to-eat-if-you-are-feeling-rich-or-just-wanna-treat-yourself-to-a-good-meal. =)

Looks like someone's not realli enjoying himself. Or izzit I caught him at the bad moment?? *heehee*

Future sergeant. *tsk tsk*

Celes tried to portray their brotherhood in this pic. But I think she failed. Or did they fail her?? *winkz*

Pauline, Celes and me!

Someone's being retarded.

Now that's better. =)

Celes, Xiang and Darren!

Hui and Hui.

Pauline and Pauline.

Me and Hui =)

These two just won't take proper pics. *haiz* Forgive them. It's their birthday celebrations after all.

Nice one, Pauline. *rolls eyes*

Sorrie Nick. I had to put this up cos the three of us looked so nice! Oops. You looked cute too. =)

After dinner, we lazed around and just chatted. Our seats were soooo comfy tt it was hard to get our bums off them. *haha*

But Nick managed to sneak out and ordered a brownie with ice-cream as a makeshift cake for the two Scorpio girls. =)

Wonder who's the real birthday kid?

One's too tired to smile for me cos of her dancing. The other one? I guess she's being a brat.

Thanks Pauline for teaching Celes a lesson for not smiling properly and nicely for my cam! =)

Lastly, the two of them have something to offer to everyone as a token of appreciation....

Their distorted faces.

When it's time to go, it's time to go.

Pauline, Hui & I left first cos we were sooo tired. Especially the dancer and the full-time working adult. *tsk tsk*

Aniwae, I allowed myself one last moment of fun before I really shut myself in my Pasir Ris home for two whole bloody weeks, after which I'll resurface again as a new person. *fingers cross*

Realli hope that I can pull through this.

It's really sad when I won't be able to meet up with them until the end of the month. Which seems such a looooooooooooooooooong time away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =(

*grrrrrrr*

I'm sooooo into China now. Ugly Mao's face kept appearing in my head. Went to WS library and borrowed a book on his Long March. *shudders* You'll NEVER catch me touching books on such topics in the past lor. *tsk tsk*

But I've got no choice. It's either facing MAO or MOE.

A part of me can't wait to get everything over and done with.

But I'm really not looking forward to the exams.

I'm so in a dilemma now.

Not to mention I saw a friend 'two-timing' her bf.

*sigh*

But I guess such matters have to leave it to the involved parties, right?

Who am I to interfere? *shrugs*

Btw...

Many realisations hit me after talking to Hui during the journeys to and forth. She's really a sensible person and a girl with her own thoughts, and she's not afraid to show them. I dunno why, but her words and way of thinking have quite some impact on me. *haha* She's really a good friend who cares for her friends, if you ask me. =)

OK.

It's late and I'm damn sleepy. In less than 8 hours later, a Battle of the Four [modules] is abt to begin.

Wish me luck.

Cos I need lots of it. =(

Let me whine...

WHINING ONE:

It's so depressing if you fall sick during your study week.

You dun feel like doing anything. You just wanna slack ard, giving that excuse "i'm sick...just let me rest for a while..."

And 'a while' becomes hours, then days...

*sigh*

Then you'd feel guilty for neglecting your books and notes cos they're shouting out to you to start reading them and preparing for the madness to come on the 15th...

*tsk tsk*

How am I going to survive through this period??????

*** *** ***

WHINING TWO:

It's so unbelievable for me to spend soooooooooooo much $$$ on books than on clothes...

Damn Mao Zedong.

I wasted my Saturday gg to Bras Basah to search for his biographies... In the end saw nothing but lots of his propaganda posters... WTH. (tks to XY for accompanying me on the wasted trip. At least we had good food at Liang Seah!=))

Then I decided to zap the books I've borrowed from my friend.

And I spent over 50 bucks zapping on him. *gasps*

Can you believe it????!?!?!?

Grrrrrrrr.....

This is the first time I've spent so much on phoocopying stuff... And the stuff wasnt even on a handsome guy!

How I wish he wasnt even born.

*tsk tsk*

*** *** ***

WHINING THREE:

I think that's abt it.
