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....

My Dad is Ultimate

YAC dears, here is the funny video! Mel is going to kill me if he sees this, i am sure! but i can't wait to show it to my friends how stupid and fun this game is.



Note: the background sound is by ernest. i think his laughter is much funnier than the game itself!

*Chris: We can stop going Amore after this*

On a side note, once again my Dad did something real annoying again. But i must thank them for throwing me to my aunties and grandparents since the day i was born. If not, i won't have survived this long.

LOUSY


Thank goodness I read rj’s blog and found out TO MY HORROR that my internship report is due on 23 MAY 2008! GOSH, I know it was stated in the outline but I didn’t bother to check and always thought that report must be handed in during the last day of our internship, which is 13 June.

Speaking of which, Adeline has been so excited that that our internship is ending in one’s month time that she totally has no mood to work. Haha, but well who doesn’t?

The thought of haven’t even start writing the report freaks my out totally. I guess I must sit in the library and start typing it this Sunday. Oh gosh, poor me doing report on Mother’s Day.

I thought I cancelled my Sunday’s tuition so that I can rest and slack. Darn, now have to write report. AH, SAVE ME!

This month’s magazine is out and well, I am rather upset because there are so many typos which don’t exist at all in my draft.

Myanmar is having a big typhoon and poor khin is worried for family. Glad to hear that they are alright. She promises to buy each teacher a dozen of red pens. (I always lost my red pen! -_-)

Evelyn volunteered to help me take my tuition classes for next week should I need a break. It makes me feel extremely bad ‘cuz she doesn’t complain or even request a change of lesson when she is tired. And yet, here I am whining like nobody’s business, and she is willing to take my lesson even though she should be enjoying her break. How lousy I am.

就是这种无条件的付出让我非常感动。。。

I am feeling rather lousy lately. Lousy as in, I am a lousy girl. I know I should control my emotions and not let others affect it. Perhaps I have not learnt the tactic of that yet.

But well, since when am I not being regarded as lousy?

I choose not to bring up the topic cuz somehow no matter what I say, or do, I AM WRONG. It’s ironic, coz I just scolded a person badly as what he does is always wrong. And now, I am in this dilemma.

Oh well, it’s fine la, nothing matters to me now.

I AM A BAD GIRL. I AM A BAD FRIEND. That’s the truth.

I WANT A BREAK!

Work is starting to get hectic again. It seems like yesterday since I finish the last issue and now I am here again, working on the next issue. It seems that I have sapped up all my energy for the last issue as well as tuitions that I have lost the motivation and momentum to continue. Or perhaps I am just too excited that lotsa of interesting activities are coming up in May and eventually to the end of my internship, which is in June.


Went for supper at Melben @ AMK and ate Chilli Crab, Crab Bee Hoon and Man Tou! So happy! Though I have been living there for so long, I only tried once cuz granddaddy doesn’t like to wait and queues are long at Melben. To read a review on it, please visit my food blog.

Saturday we went to Punggol Marina for steamboat. Personally, I wont go there for dinner cuz it’s really out of the way and food isn’t that great. But the ambience is good, enjoying the food while the wind blow passes you. Lo-Man-TicA!

Then we headed to Ernest’s house to play. He got this very interesting drum game which got me hooked. And he also had this punching game and wow, it is a good way to exercise man. I no need to spend money going Amore for kickboxing anymore. I just had to go Ernest’s house and punch! Wahahahaha!

Then kind Eugene sent right to my doorstep. Xie xie!

Tuition on Sunday and I am getting so tired and stressed out as the pri and secondary are having mid year exams these 2 weeks. But yes, I know I am gona pull through. It is scary how some of them just totally rely on you for information and sleeps in class. I don’t understand why they rather spend extra money listening to the same thing than to pay attention in class. More and more new students came in just a few weeks before their exams. And when I tested them on the things they have learnt, they totally knew nothing! Everything must be built from scratch again. Totally sian.

But well, I am totally drained out and long for a nice break. Since I haven’t been resting on Sundays. But ya la, that is a sign of me becoming lazy. I said that a few months ago when I hope not to have tuition during Saturdays. And now, I hope to rest on Sundays! Gosh, I am such a difficult person!

But a break is good. And when I am back, I will organize my class to be more efficient and of course, focus my attention on weaker students.

That is provided IF I had a break.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day! Every year during Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Daddy’s birthday, he will tell me straight off the face that THE BIG DAY is coming and I should do something. It is so IRRITATING can!

It is just like how he always reminds me to return him my university school fees cos he paid for it.

And how he keep warning me to complete my Grade 8 cos he paid for the piano at home.

Well Daddy, don’t have to keep reminding me.

So I was browsing through a pile of press releases, looking for something GOOD & CHEAP so that I can bring my Grandaddy, 2 lovely aunties, uncle, Daddy and Mummy for a treat. Gosh, all of them are bloody expensive!

And to make things worse, Aunty just took away my salary of $250 which I wanted to use it for this Mother’s Day treat. She says keep it for other purposes.

Great. I don’t have a say in anything. And I have no money left.

I am gona watch Broadway BENG this Sunday! WHEE!

First Love

初恋是一张试纸

他与她青梅竹马    

4岁,他开始喜欢她。    

9岁,在学校读书,她受了委屈会去找他,再没同学欺负她。    

18岁,他们相约考入同一所大学,每天一起上课,一起去学校食堂吃午饭。她有不开心的事了,依然会去找他,把他当做自己的大哥一样。    

19岁,他对她说:做我的女朋友吧。她点点头答应了,感觉很幸福。    

21岁,他们分手了。她流泪问他:你真爱上别的女孩子?    

他点点头,有点无奈。    

她又问:她漂亮吗?    

他淡淡地答:你能肯定我们就是最合适的吗?我不想把这么美好的青春只给一个人。你难道不想再试试除我而外的其他男人吗?    

毕业之后,他们一直没有任何联系。    

25岁,她成了当红的女主播,他也在一家电视台做幕后翻译。这些年,他恋爱一场又一场,每次结束一段感情,都会想起她。    

26岁,她结婚,只是觉得疲倦,好想找个肩膀靠一靠。    

她主播的节目,他会小心避开,他怕看见电视里的她。    

她事业很好,却是个生活一团糟的女子,家务也不会做。家里尽管有了佣人,她的丈夫依然处处对她不满。    

有一晚,他们吵了嘴,她开车出去在街上转了一晚,不知为什么,想起他,眼泪忽然落下来。    

29岁,她离婚。    

31岁那年,他辗转找到她的电话号码,犹豫很久打了过去,这已是他们分手的第10个年头了。
    
10年,可以改变一个人很多,对事情的看法,也完全不一样了。    

31岁那年,她与他在酒店的大厅见面,往事历历在目,经过这些年的波折,都知道了生命中值得珍惜的情感并不多。两个人用了10年的青春,绕了很大一圈又回到了起点。      

婚后很幸福。她因为经历过一次失败的婚姻,已懂得如何心疼一个男人;他对失而复得的这份爱,更加珍惜。如果不是这10年的经历,他们大概不会懂得这份婚姻对彼此的重要性。初恋是爱情的一张试纸,很多时候,我们都以为会有更好的人等在后面。殊不如,最好的人有时就在眼前,错过这一站,有时就错过了一生。

Labour's Day = INSOMNIA

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEBBLES!

It was Labour’s Day yesterday and it was also Pebble’s birthday.

I didn’t really have a good holiday. I gave tuition for my sec 4 kids from 1pm all the way to 5pm. But I thank them for coming down despite it was a holiday, so I treated them CANADIAN PIZZA!

Then rushed to KMS after that for rehearsal. Lao Shi came and gave us some pointers. The thought of going on stage to sing still bothers me. Thankfully, I am not the 1st one to start the ball rolling anymore. I simply can’t imagine how will it sound.

I AM SO PACKED DURING ALL THE WEEKENDS!

- I can’t find a time to treat my lovely aunties and mummy for a Mother’s Day meal.
- I can’t find a time to go out with my girls.
- I CAN’T FIND A TIME TO CUT HAIR! :(

19th May is VESAK DAY! ANOTHER HOLIDAY! But well, another performance! And this time is PIANO!!!

Speaking of that, I haven’t been a good student lately cuz I missed 1 month’s lesson. At the rate I am going, oh gosh, when can I ever complete my Grade 8!!

OH, did I finish what happens to my Labour Day?

I went supper with the YAC people after rehearsal. WE ATE CHILLI CRAB! Yummy Yummy!

But it was too filling and I spent my whole night tossing and disturbing my friends. I finally knocked out at 5am and woke up at 7am! BRAIN DEAD!

A Trend article to complete.
A Beauty article to complete.
A DIY article to complete.

WHEN WILL I COMPLETE!!

Happy Birthday BAA!


Went to meet The MAPLE gang aka BARCODE ||||||| Guild on Monday to celebrate StupidBaa’s birthday. There were only five of us, with joel missing. Haha

It has been so long since we last met, and of course, it has been so long since I played maple.

So after walking around, we decided to have our dinner in NYDC. It was the usual western restaurant but with each of us updating our work and gossiping about the other classmates. What I like about the restaurant is they have ELMO & COOKIE MONSTER everywhere! So pebbles grabbed Elmo while I get the Cookie Monster with one eye missing! Haha

Well, I am sure we are gona meet very soon again, cuz it’s the MAY BABIES’ BIRTHDAYS!
On a side note, I recommended my hairstylist to one magazine to help them do hair and make up for their cover story. And sadly, they had forgotten to credit them. I have been looking at my calendar frequently to find a time slot to go for a hair cut. Omg, now that they have forgotten to credit them, I hope Angel doesn’t get angry and anyhow cut my hair!

But the main thing is, I couldn’t find any time to cut hair! Really NO TIME! My Saturdays are full cuz there are a lot of workshops, carnivals, performance and food expo. My Sundays are left for tuition. OH NO!

I will be performing with 5 other YAC friends in the upcoming Vesak Day Concert @ Ngee Ann City on 10 May. We had our 2ns rehearsal yesterday, and OH MINE! 状态不好!throat pain, 声音干干沙沙的, 高音全部标不上,全部的气都困在胸口里。So disappointed with myself. I think I am sure gona have stage fright and sing wrong pitch. Ah!~

I doze off immediately after reaching home! Thank god it is labour day tomolo.

BUT I AM HAVE EXTRA TUITION LESSONS! -_-

茫然

今天有点EMO,因为读了一些东西,听了一些东西,看了一些东西,让脑子里的情绪一直在打转。一种米养百种人真的说得没错。Human Revolution、社会的变化,逐渐也把人的感情变得很脆弱。人的品性也好像更难以捉摸。有更多更难以置信的事实,让我觉得这世界变得好丑陋。

有时真奇怪,一些芝麻小事对有些人来说却变成了生命里最悲观的话题。
有些让人心痛不已的东西,对方却那么放得开。

每个人都有自己的梦想,如果因为别人做得到这件事而你也希望跟那个人一样厉害,这不是你的梦想,仅是麻木的竞争,互相比较。到头来,每个人都有着自己的强与弱。很多东西,不是一朝一夕能飞上天的。

也因为每个人都在彼此竞争,“真”和“假”变得很模糊。

从某些朋友身上,我看不到那属于他们自己的热忱。有些因为工作上能提供的金钱满足而使命地守着岗位。有些因为人事复杂而每天过得很难受。有些因为想维持一段关系而没离开。

后来又想想自己的人生。

我不会因为钱而拼命,因为我深信活得精彩。
可是我会因为想维持一段关系而没离开,因为我相信缘分及友情的珍贵。
那热忱何在?

有着精彩的人生有什么用?这些只是用来弥补生命的缺陷。最后还不是一个失败者。

谁不想让自己做得更多更好?
谁不想迁就所有人以满足他们?
谁不想花多一点时间和家人度过?
谁不想休息?
谁不想有个依靠?
谁不渴望爱情?

如果人类之间的关系可以不用那么复杂该多好。

Beware of fishbones!


was on the way home last night when grandaddy called and told me that he is going Tan Tock Seng hospital.

Aunty has bought a small fish with so many fishbones. He went to see our family doctor but the doctor cant remove the bone, so the doctor immediately refer him to TTSH.
