Happy girl

I am now a happy girl. Hehe. That is because my bank account finally gone back to the amount that I wanted after 2 years within 2 months. Hohoho. So happy. =P Hopefully I can maintain it and let it continue to grow. Hehe.

However, I will have to put all my plans about going on a holiday during December to a stop for the time being. =’( I want to go to Taiwan so badly if not I can compromise for Thailand. =P  If only someone can sponsor my trip. Hehe.

Met up with Yun, Yan Ting, JY, TWT, Phy and Wei Ying on Tuesday at 85 market and I met Pei Shan and Pui Wah on the bus home yesterday. Hehe. Within a couple of days, I met so many of my secondary school friends. =D

Something that I hate about nowadays is the heat and the rain. The weather is so unpredictable lately and I really hate walking a 15-20 minutes walk to and from my students’ houses. Now I have became one of the ‘aunties’. Haha. I ensure that I bring my umbrella out everyday and use it as I walk. Lol. Call me ‘Aunty’ Queen of Dramas. Haha.

I haven’t been able to watch any dramas lately and I really don’t feel good about it. My last drama is Why Why Love and luckily I am watching The X-Family constantly but I really hate to catch the episode-by-episode. Just can’t wait for the drama to come to an end. =P

Just a question, is anyone of you repaying your poly fees now? I am starting to but it is really a task. Hehe. Can’t wait to clear the debts. ^_*

Anyway, my darling hamsters are still ever cute and adorable. =P

I am planning on Children’s Day

Lol. Yes, you did not read me wrong. I am planning on what to get my tuition kids on Children’s Day. Haha. In fact, I spent $10+ on some rulers and pens for my tuition kids. Hehe. I intend to add more things to it as the day drew nearer. =P

My dad’s birthday is coming and I am intending to give a treat to my family on that day at a coffee shop nearby. However, we still to plan because it clashes with my grandmother’s birthday celebration.

For twice of this week, I had managed to catch a ride from Leanne back home from tuition as we coincidentally had tuition either at the same time or end at almost the same time. Hehe. Thanks lots, Leanne. =)

I also met Eilin today while I was making my way to Bedok MRT to make my way to my 4th tuition of the day. Had a small chat but we were both rushing for time so we parted before we really talk.

Glad to see people and hear that people I know are all still alive and kicking. Lol. Just kidding.

Oh, I took cab 3 times just within 4 days. Argh! Not very glad with myself. I always try to refrain from taking a cab but sometimes the circumstances just don’t allow it to happen. I like taking cab but I hate paying the fares. Lol. It just make me a lot poorer. I am going to refrain from taking cab as much as possible for the time being. =)

I have been debating whether I should get a portable DVD player for quite some time. Finally decided not to get it on Monday.

I am thinking about the uses of a portable DVD player. No doubt that recently I have been spending a lot of my time on the road but I always have my iPod to accompany me and if I decided to get the portable DVD player, what will happen to my iPod? Afterall, I paid a decent sum for it. After thinking through everything, I decided against it.

I shall not be too materialistic. I want to be more practical. Unless necessary, I will refrain from paying extra. That is for the time being. Hehe. But I doubt how long will I keep to it? Lol. Money can really do wonders. Haha.

I finally managed to discover the how to differentiate a terrance house, semi-detached and a bungalow. Lol. Thanks to Leanne. Just within a few months, I came across 2 of them and which I get to visit at least once a week. If my financial position allows, I want to live in one of them and keep a dog that is like Letto (is that the spelling?). Hehe. Okay, off I go to bed. Too tired. =D

Oh ya, did I mention that Sweet Talk is going to release a new product? It’s ice cream. It tastes good and I really love the chocolate ice cream and don’t really enjoy the green tea one cos the powdery taste is too strong. Overall, it is good. Remember to look out for the launch. =)

T.T

*Sob*  I missed Mike. Not that I saw him and starting to miss him but I actually did not get to see him during his little stay in Singapore. ARGH!!!

I thought he would be leaving at 1+pm on Monday but did not realize that the time in his official website was the time that he touched down in Taiwan. I happily woke up at a freaking 10+am and went online to check the gate that he would be leaving by and realized that he left early in the morning. SHUCKS.

So yes, I did not get to see him and not to mention that I did not get to listen to his interview LIVE. I had to record it down and listened at night just because my whole day was so fully packed. So disappointed. T.T Jia Ying had promised me that she would accompany me to his event the next time he dropped by Singapore, provided that she is available. -.-

Hopefully he will drop by to promote Why Why Love. Hehe. =P

Regarding the sprees, I am still waiting for the parcels to arrive at my house. Although the Bigi parcel is already in Singapore, it is still ‘happily’ sitting in the warehouse of Speedpost. I will be giving them a ‘little’ reminder tomorrow if it still don’t arrive at my house before I leave my house to teach tuition tomorrow. Haha. =P

As for the JJS parcel, I have no idea why is it taking so long, this time round, to reach Singapore. Will be checking again tomorrow if it is in Singapore yet.

Pals, you can start arranging to pick up your items. Preferably from next week as I need to sort out everything first.

Does anyone knows where can I find the full version of Return of the Condor Heroes (2006) by Crystal Liu (Online)? If you know, can you kindly give me the link? My student will give give you millions of flying kisses. Lol.

Pasir Ris Pasar Malam

I love Pasar Malam! =D

I was supposed to meet Jia Ying outside White Sands at 6.30pm today but both of us were late (though I was still earlier than her, lol). She wanted to get a bag from a shop in White Sands and decided to ask me along.

She was late and my eyes lit when I saw Pasar Malam. Lol. I love to roam around stalls and looking at the dirt cheap stuffs that you don’t get to see everyday. I bought Char Kway (not the 1 with black sauce), ‘you tiao’ plus sotong plus mayonnaise plus some sweet and spicy sauce. Yummy-licious! Hehe.

Jia Ying finally arrived and I went to deposit my tuition fees that I collected today then headed to the bag shop. Many varieties but all are very expensive. I am personally someone who likes dirt cheap stuffs that have many varieties and of good qualities. That is the reason why I enjoy online shopping. Hehe.

After Jia Ying finally bought her ‘long-awaited’ bag,  we sat down for dinner and started ‘bad-mouthing’ complaining about local productions. We are so against local productions that we totally do not watch them. Our focus are on overseas products. Hehe.

We shared the same views here that local productions are very typical. They are always revolving around 3rd party, pre-marital sex, pregnancy before marriage, gambling and a few more. It is slowly becoming a typical scenario of what to expect out of a local series. I get sick and tired of the expected plot and storyline that I cannot stand watching local productions anymore. Once in a while, I will take a glimpse of what is showing on TV, getting attracted to the plot for 5 minutes and I shut off. Lol. So nasty. Now, only my grandmother watches local productions. =P

We walked around White Sands for a while, looking for the dramas that I recommended to Jia Ying and off we went to the Pasar Malam. We each bought some stickers to trick reward our students. Haha. I even bought a little whiteboard to make teaching more efficient to my Primary 4 student. =P

On top of it, I bought a super huge ‘ah-ma’ luggage bag. It is not really a luggage bag but it looks more like those kind of luggage that an ah-ma will use, except that it is a Monokuro version. Haha. My mum told me that she would never in a million years bring that bag out and I decided to use it for my sprees. Haha. So if the next time you saw me with with a very big ‘ah-ma’ Monokuro luggage bag, the items inside are most likely spree items. Lol.

Shopping & New PC

It’s spelled, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!

Yes! We finally bought a new PC before the stupid GST hike (hates it).

Went out with Jia Ying and Yan Ting on Sunday for a shopping trip at Bugis Street but obviously it did not turned out very well. -.-’ Cos before I even reached Bugis Street, $48 ‘flew’ from my pocket. Not exactly ‘flew’ but was spent on the ink cartridges for my personal printer. Shitty. That left me with only about $70 to shop on.

I met Jia Ying first and we started walking around Bugis Street. We walked aimlessly and came to the sex toys shop (Is that what you call it?) but of course we did not enter (DUB! It states 23 and above, LOL). We just stood outside, looking at their displayed items. Jia Ying finds it very disgusting but I find it pretty alright cos if they can display it outside, it should be pretty okay. Haha.

I think I had been influenced too badly by my dear cousin, Esther. Haha. She had already influenced my poor and innocent mind with all these stuffs and of course many other friends and cousins who talked to me about everything. Lol. So, now I am open to such topics but only for close friends and my relatives. Hehe.

Okay, back to the shopping part. I bought a pair of sunglasses (don’t know for what), a tube top and a vest with a white top. Total damage done, $40. Actually I need bottoms as well but I just have no idea what to get at Bugis Street. What they have are mostly jeans or denim material bottoms. Those that are of a different or better material are either not appropriate or not within my budget constraints. Lol.

After which, I received an sms from my dad asking me if I want to meet him at Sim Lim Square to buy our new PC so I bid goodbye to the girls and ran off to meet my dad. When I reached, all I did is to choose the PC casing. -.-’ That is because my brother had already decided on all the PC hardwares and system and all I need to do is look at the casing since it will be mine (half). Haha.

Yes, half of it will be mine together with my laptop. Hohoho. So greedy lucky. =P I will be sharing the PC with my younger brother and I predict I won’t be using it too often since I am so used to my laptop now. Unless of course if my laptop decided to abandon me, which I still have the warranty covered, I will go back to the PC. Hehe.

Oh, did I mentioned about what my new PC has? Haha. I am not too sure either. =P I think we have about 2.512GB of RAM, 240GB/320GB of storage memory, a super good graphic card which has ‘GS’ behind, a pretty good sound card (external one on top of the internal) and some other stuffs. We bought a Prolink speaker (2.1) and a keyboard with a mouse were given free.

Luckily for the free keyboard if not we will not be able to use the new PC as the cable of our old keyboard is getting rusty and the new PC cannot sense its presence. Same for the cable of the shared printer. We replaced the keyboard and leave the mouse as it is because our mouse is so much better than the mouse that was given free. I think it is even better than my brother’s mouse. After all, it costs me a freaking $59.90 to get that to replace the old mouse which happened to go bonkers after my younger brother used it. The old mouse was bought by my brother, who I didn’t know only bought it at $39.90. My younger brother, fearing that my brother would go mad when he found his mouse spoiled after coming home from camp, pleaded me to get a new mouse.

Stupidly, I tried to find a similar one but did not realise that the older one is not for gaming and bought a gaming mouse in the end. At first, my brother did not notice the different but I told him honestly and he told me that the old mouse is not even a gaming mouse. -.-’ Lol.

The new PC had been connected to all the hardwares by my father and younger brother while my brother worked on his own computer. He bought a new and better graphic card (better than the new PC) for $490. =.= I did all the installation, from the system to the softwares. I think I am getting better at computers. Haha.

Oh yes, I always thought graphic card is only a small card about the size of a SD card but who knows that it is so freaking HUGE! Lol.

RIP, Ham Ham!

I cut my hair. It’s like FINALLY! Lol. I just realized that the last time I cut my hair is some time last year. OMG! Finally decided to ‘chop off’ a very big portion or it together with Leanne. Hehe.

We met up to change our hairstyles and we ended up cutting our long hair to a pretty short length. Lol. Mine is still around shoulder length. Leanne did a really big change to her hairstyle. It’s short but I like it a lot. Maybe I should cut my hair shorter the next time I visit the hairstylist again. Haha.

Graduation day is just a few days away and I haven’t plan on what I wanted to do after that. So far I have received 2 rejections letter and they are from SMU and NTU. My status for NUS is still at ‘Application Received’. -.- When will they start processing?

‘Makan-ing session’

It’s ‘makan-ing’ session again!

We went to Mahanttan AGAIN and Jia Ying and I ate Manhattan seafood platter AGAIN. Lol. However, we are kind of disappointed cos the food is not as good as the other time. Have a feeling that they forgo the taste of the food during peak hours. =(

Our seafood platter. =D

Candid shoots as follows:

Poor Vannie, she is not under the ’spotlight’ but she became our (Jia Ying and me) target. Lol. Cos the birthday girl kept running away from our cameras. LOL.

We started eating at 8pm and by the time we are done, it’s already 9.30pm. When we walked out of Manhanttan, most of the shops are closed. Wonder why did they close so early. We went into a comics shop and guess what? Less than 5 minutes in there, they started switching off the lights. -.- Haha. Nice one.

I was so tired that day cos I woke up at 5.30am andslept at 12 midnight. Not to mention that I was carrying a big bag with my dad’s precious camera, banner, boards and many stuffs with me. I am surprised that I can survive that day and continue to run around the next day. Haha.

Yesterday was spent at Mediacorp and SP. Went to Mediacorp for a recording session and then to SP for the campus concert. Met some of the DJ-wannabes there. Took a group photo. Haha. I purposely chose the one that my face is blurred. Lol. I didn’t do that on suppose but people never knew how to use my dad’s camera. Haha.

I agree with my dad that it is way too professional that’s why almost everyone does not know how to use. Wahaha. You got to admit it. The photos I took are sharp and precise but when other people use it, it will came out blur and unclear. Can’t helped it. Haha. I got the photographer ’talent’ in me. Wahaha.

Went to my Primary 4 student’s home today. Help her to get a few assessment books. I really like her a lot. She is chatty and willing to learn. She asked questions when she is in doubt which I really like my students doing that, afterall I am not supposed to repeat all that her teacher had said in school. That defeats the purpose of going to school.

Afterwhich, I met Wan Xin to accompany her to Giant to get a DVD player and she ended up getting the one that I gotten for myself a few weeks ago. Hehe. We walked around Giant and started talking. We chat about how ugly is the graduation gown (which is very true!), other poly-mates and what is going on in our lives recently.

I have to say that I really am not used to shopping. A little shopping can make me so exhausted. I so wanted to hit my bed now but I have so many things to do. I have to continue typing a report on my student’s essay, planning for the next lesson for my students and not forgetting getting ready for Angela’s arrival. I predict that I will only be free on next Friday. I am so busy till I totally forgotten to get the stuffs for the fanclub from Sarah. Gotten rush to her house in the morning tomorrow then to the airport, afterwhich for my Korean classes and finally to Bishan to settle the stuffs for the autograph session.

Sunday will be chaotic again and so is Monday. I have no choice as I am being left to do everything for the 4 days Angela is here. Faints.

ARGH!

Letter from NTU had been released as well to those admitted to their Business faculty. Till today, I received none of the above. The feeling sucks.

As I was stressed out by the non-receiving of the acceptance letter from NUS and NTU and when I came across the fact that I was terribly shortchanged for working with WPG, I felt even worse. Stressed out from all these and when Darius persuaded me to quit and join him in the relief teaching line, I agreed.

My last day is on next Tuesday and today is 2 of my colleagues’ last day. Then I realized that many of them are leaving WPG before or after I leave. The first 2 days when I joined WPG 2 left, now another 2 and in 3 weeks time another 1. I am grateful that I also decided to leave. Throughout my 1 month plus appointment there, I had been doing filing and more filing. I am not learning anything at all and the reason I stayed put is because I have great colleagues and now they all leaving 1 by 1.  

ARGH!!!

Now something happier. I went Body Shop shopping after work today and spent $55.75 on 5 items. Surprised? To be more specific, I brought Passion Fruit Body Scrub – $28.90, Olive Shampoo – $16.90, Vitamin E Eye Cream – $26.90, Lotus Petal Body Lotion – $18.90 and Liquid Concealer – $19.90 (my cousin’s). So how did I managed to pay only $55.75? Simple, I get to enjoy 50% discount because of my friend. Darius, his gf, mum and aunties also get to enjoy the discount, thanks to me. I also extended this discount to a couple of my relatives and friends but they do not have anything on their mind at the moment.

Tomorrow a couple of us will be returning to TP to rent our graduation gown and take the last memory with us before we finally bid goodbye to the school. Gonna miss TP very much though it is only less than  stops away from my house. -.- LOL.

Blocked

I wanted to vent my frustration here but when the page finished loading, my mind went blank. This is bad.

Throwing my frustration aside then. A newly made friend asked me if I came from an English-speaking family. Erm… she is the first to ask and I am not. She reasoned that I speak Chinese in a very weird manner whereby I speak very slowly and pronounce every word very carefully. Erm… did I? Lol.

I lost my way on an incredibly and sickly Monday when I headed towards Orchard after work. Sometimes bus concession isn’t very beneficial. It should be known as a Good Monday while Good Friday is definitely better than Monday. ARGH! I lost my way on bus 124 and I seriously felt like vomiting because the ride is so long and uncomfortable. Decided to alight even before I arrived at my destination. Instead I decided to head home. Too much bus rides can kill a person’s appetite.

My 3rd Korean lesson was today. There is a change in timing and the teacher. Somehow I still prefer the previous teacher because she teach at a much slower pace and at a pace where we the students can absorb the new knowledge. The new teacher is ver fast when she teaches but she taught us a lot of new things. As for how much did we absorb, I am not sure. Lol. But I definitely learned a lot of new things today.
