미안 해요 난 당신이 울게 만들었있다면.

당신은 나에게 매우 중요합니다.

Chinatown / Tree top walk

Spent my Sunday out shooting and walking, shooting and walking. The journey started at 7am early in the morning. Who the hell wakes up at 6am on a Sunday man! zzzzz

So we began our adventure from Chinatown...

Then we went to 佛牙寺...

Then we went to Ann Siang Street. Wanted to eat K-ki but it's not opened! SADNESS!

After lunch, baby & I headed to Tree Top Walk to walk and shoot, walk and shoot again! The rain has just ended, so it was very muddy.

走到脚断了！im so damn tired. roars.

爱，不只是看着你。而是透过看着你，看到全世界。

星期五，我们去了美芝路剪刀剪吃咖哩饭，然后喝贡茶。

星期六，我们去了Far East吃好吃的日本串烧，然后又喝贡茶。

他没有为我着迷，而是他为他手里那杯贡茶着迷。－。－

哪怕如此，就是喜欢和他一起享用一杯贡茶（虽然我只喝三口）。

就是喜欢把自己掛在他高高的挺拔的身体上，紧紧勾住那宽阔的肩膀。

就是喜欢和他手牵手一起在大街上走，讲一些有的没的、唱一些乱七八糟的歌

就是喜欢张大眼睛看着他，然后像个白痴一样不停地对他眨眼。

就是喜欢没理由忽然间叫他的名字。

就是喜欢这样依靠着他... :)

BLOGGED: Annual Food Blogger Dinner @ Michelangelo's

www.misstamchiak.com

Life has been busy but good.

Life has been busy. Colleague of mine has resigned and leaving in August 30th, so I presume there's going to be more work, i never treat it as a burden but rather more opportunities coming the way.

There has been lotsa makaning this week and i hardly have time to eat at home and slouch in the sofa for some tv programs. yesterday i had a tasting at stevo's and today im going the annual food blogger dinner.

I was still worried there's nothing to talk abt during the dinner but i think the recent food blogger saga will be the topic for the night. We have been following quite closely to this issue, reading up all the news and forum comments. My take on this? No comments.

But with such nonsense coming up, Im starting to hear gossips about many other food bloggers and restaurants. well well, this is interesting! hoho!

ok i wanted to type more but i cant log into the system because they say i type the wrong password. i have typed it carefully for 3 times and it's the wrong. so i have lost my train of thoughts.

Sunday morning free again

I never like rejections. 

Be it me rejecting people or me being rejected. I just hate the feeling. 

Today I rejected 2 people. 

1. I rejected a PR of a restaurant. But I don't feel bad for this. 

2. I rejected my student's mummy. Yes, the primary 2 child who says $9 for 1st pen, $10 for 2nd pen & $11 for 3rd pen. 

I felt like a loser. 感觉好像判了一个孩子死刑。

She is just a primary 2 kid. Perhaps my way of teaching doesn't suit her. Perhaps I should have more patience for her. 

And when I told the mum that I can't continue anymore with 1001 reasons (in fear that she will ask me to continue teaching till year end), she just replied simply:"没关系，谢谢你。"


Considering I know the parent since I was very young, and they are just very very nice and simple people who spends too much time managing their noodle stall instead of taking care of their kids. 

I'm feeling super sinful and apologetic for not being able to help them. 

Shitty. Shitty. 

Can I still eat their fish ball noodle in future? Haha

Morale of story:
- never teach relatives 
- never teach neighbors 
- never teach family's friend 
- never teach my fav fish ball noodle aunty's daughter 

On a happier note, I can sleep later on Sunday, go breakfast with the boyf or go for shutter journey photoshoot! :)

rainy day

Readership

I don't like it when people ask me about the readership & page views in my blog. And frankly speaking, I don't keep track of them too. 

I blog food for a hobby and if there are invitations for tastings, I'm happy. If there aren't, it seriously doesn't matter to me. I don't aspire to be a famous food blogger, neither will I go all the way out to advertise my blog like some other people. 

Some restaurant send me this today:"what's ur blog readership cus we have a blooger event in October." 

Hello, so what do u mean? U must see how many people read my blog before deciding if u want to invite me for tasting? 

I AM TOTALLY NOT INTERESTED. 

Well maybe Im just a ordinary blogger or a nobody to u so you can ask in such a manner. But hey, ur invited bloggers are WOW pathetic can. U invited lifestyle and food bloggers who merely started less than a year but who can market themselves real well. So u think their readership is high enough? 

Ridiculous. 

And. I'm going to ur restaurant to eat (I PAY MONEY TO EAT THERE), why should u ask me to BLOG for u? 

- You never give me a good deal 
- You question so many things 

So why should I blog for u? Well since you question about my readership too. 

I'm getting lotsa such emails nowadays and when their first question was: what's ur readership? I just delete them. 

*pissed* 

My readership? ONE.
I am the one and only one who read my own food blog. 

Happy? Bah. 

Prince?

我们总是在寻觅属于自己的白马王子，有些人还天真地等待一个有钱有样貌的男子出现。很惊讶这年头竟然还有人等待白马王子的出现。人生怎么能拿童话相比，要是你相信，你真的很傻。

其实，王子是有，也是没有。你爱谁，谁就是你的王子咯。

我的王子不需要身高1.8米，我这么矮。
我的王子不需要长得帅，我都不好看。
我的王子不需要富有，只要有志气地过日子。

是我用爱把他变成王子，是他对我的好把他成为我独一无二的王子。芸芸众生中，能从相识到相爱不容易。我为了对方停下匆促的脚步，从一个本来只有“我”的人生，变成“我们”的人生。从一个每天只会忙碌于工作的人，到现在会开始欣赏天空和花朵的女孩。

现在虽然比以前更忙，黑眼圈比以前严重，但至少我觉得自己的人生现在才算开始，也过得很充实。希望一切会永远保持在这种状态。

爱一個人，就是和他在一起的那份无言的感觉。

i-weekly

If you have bought last week's issue of i-weekly, u would have seen miss tam chiak! :D

Argh

I HAD ENOUGH. 

Everytime I look at you, it simply drives me crazy and up the rooftop. I can't stand you 敷衍了事过日子!

Come on, u are just 8 years old. PRIMARY 2! Your job is to study smart and do it well. 

Not lying on your mattress to watch Doraemon on Sunday. Not complaining to ur mum that u have no time to do homework when the lousy school gives u ZERO homeowork everyday. Not peeping at the ans sheet to complete my homework or ask your sister to help u. 

Don't look at my facial expression to determine your answers. I'm not asking you to do algebra or differentiation. I'm asking you purely simple Maths questions. 

4 pencils cost $36. And one pencil cost how much? Hello, why does it take u 20 mins to tell me it's 36 divide by 4? 

AND U STILL CAN'T GET UR 4 TIME TABLE RIGHT after sooo long?

So each pencil costs $9. And what's the cost of 3 pencils? 

Hello! Isit so hard? I explain to u in English, I draw for u, I speak to u in chinese and u just refuse to learn! 

First attempt, u said 1 pencil $9. 2 pencil $10. 3 pencils $11. Who the hell taught u this!! 

Then second attempt u said, 3 + 9 = 12. Omfg, can u just kill me please. 

Then you told me u board ur school bus at 11.30am and reach school at 12pm. So I ask u how long u took. 

And u told me 10hours!!!

I seriously can't explain and figure out where the hell that 10hours came from. If u say 30hour, I can correct u to 30minutes. But how did u even get 10hours!!!

Your mum keep asking me not to give u too much homework cuz u are busy and tire and has no time to do. Hello, u have no CCA and u are busy watching tv man!

I give up. Every Sunday morning I drea going for ur lessons. And when I see u, my blood pressure shoot all the way up. 

Being slow is never an issue to me. I can have all the patience in the world to teach u step by step, if you ever gona learn. 

You are not slow. You just don't want to learn and want to smoke things through! 

So don't use "slow" as an excuse to lower ur intelligence. U just choose to be lousy and so be it

Continue to be lousy. Since u refuse to help urself, how am I suppose to help u? 

I'm not here to make students hate Maths further. Your improvements maybe slow but my aim is to make u love and willing to learn the subject. If you shut me off right from the beginning, everything will still be the same. Please don't assume that a tutor who comes to guide u 2hrs/week can produce miracles. It doesn't work this way. Don't u understand that it takes 2hands to clap?

7years of teaching. Today is probably the one and only day that I nearly break down in front of the kid. I have already surpass the angry and murderous stage. Every moment spent with her is so awful that it just pulls my nerves. 

What are the Singaporean kids becoming to? Is our education system really getting so difficult that kids cannot manage?  

I really don't think so. 

Every year when new students come to me, their behavior and way of thinking changes. Some are so extreme that I feel like confronting the parents for the lousy upbringing.  

浑水摸鱼 浑水摸鱼 浑水摸鱼

气死我了!

I think I communicate better with the upper secondary student. Really. 

Burgerssssssssss

We went to eat burgers today.

Lots and lots of burgers :x

Bye fake hair!

National day was spent in hair salon after I came back from Batam. Forgotten that the bank was closed and I couldnt withdraw my money to cut hair.

Thank goodness B came to my rescue and "sponsored" most of it but he got a big shock at the amount I spent in salon. Not only him, I was shocked too.

Remove extension - treatment - cut - rebond - treatment - colour - treatment. RIDICULOUS. 我简直是疯了！

But i left the salon with my nice soft short REAL HAIR! heypi!~

Then rush down for family gathering at macpherson road with the new hair!

The three sisters! :D

The "adults".

Hair done by Keith from Jeric Salon. Thanks to the bestie for recommendation :)

im back! :)

8月10日，星期二。早上7时30分。
我坐在公司的电脑前，准备开始一个星期的工作。

一想到那堆积如山的稿件简直让我失眠。尤其是为专栏找名人更是让我抓破头！

怎么办？怎么办？啊！~


刚从巴淡岛放假回来，3天的行程就是到处走走拍照
虽然其中有一些小插曲，但是还过得愉快。
因为没有事先买好船票，结果延迟出发、提早回来。
一上船就倒在桌子上猛睡，回到酒店也倒在床上大睡。
原本以为这短短的小旅行应该不会有多大的影响，结果我错了。
几乎每时每刻都在思念他...

回来后的我更是精疲力尽，简直想瘫痪在沙发上。
很后悔今天没有拿假，还答应到圣陶沙参加烹饪班。
我真的需要一天休息的时间 :(

今年是第一次我错过国庆庆典。
每一年都会去看NDP Preview，然后国庆当天还躲在家里看电视。
今年却错过了Preview，昨天晚上还有家庭聚餐。悲。

决定把那些假头发剪了，虽然照片的确拍得比较漂亮，
可是每天需等4小时头发才能干，而且又不能抓头，
晚上睡觉还要把它梳起来，简直让我抓狂！
而且长发让我的脸开始长痘痘，加上熬夜和压力，
那本来就不好看的脸就快MOR PENG了！

还是比较喜欢现在的自己，因为有那么一点点纯真！哈哈


今天早上打开邮件时发现这个。幸好在疲惫和忙碌生活中有这些小小的幸福，让我每天过得很开心。 :)

Bestie's Birthday

Sometimes, it's really hard to find a perfect gift for friends that you have known so long. Small small big big things all given already, branded cannot afford and I'm not creative enough to make something out of nothing. headache headache headache.

so anyway, i decorated a cake for chris on her birthday this year. dinner was a kushinbo. hope this bestie of mine likes it :)

Piano because she just picked up pop piano from echo!

happy birthday pal :)

Michelle's Photoshoot

Few weeks back, I did a photoshoot for Michelle with the help of Lishan. We didnt manage to eat the spicy baffalo wings in the end but Im pretty satisfied with the results of the photos (considering that it's my VIRGIN shoot!).

Some images to share... please don't drool.
