a very SHAG week

i have changed a new skin again! cuz the previous one is very troublesome, wordings are small, cannot change it to a bigger font or it will go out of shape. and chinese words so small, machiam rice seeds like that.

This is a very shag week. I woke up at 6am for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to go school for my final semester shooting project. And i slept at 3am on Monday and Tuesday to rush for a chinese literature report that has to be handed up on Wednesday.

By Thursday, i just don't feel like talking anymore.

Perhaps I work too fast sometimes, perhaps I am ganchiong by nature, but alot of times, i felt that some process can be speeded up by half. it always felt like a waste of time.

well, im just glad that this week has passed. erm no, i shouldnt. cuz it means that 1st week of october has gone and im left with about a month to exams. this semester felt so fast.

The issue between nanyang chronicle and chee soon juan was the highlight for this week. two mths ago, dr chee (the controversial opposition figure), together with several Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) leaders, came to NTU to distribute flyers and interact with the students. it was part of a tour by SDP to "raise political awareness”.

Student journalists from my school (the Chronicle and student-run news magazine programme, Nanyang Spectrum) did a converge on Dr Chee and the SDP members but their footage/article was in the end removed.

Well, of course, being the extra school with people of many many viewpoints, this lead to a big commotion, for instance putting a freedom of press banner in school and going to speaker's corner to make a speech.

i shall reserve my comments. what do you guys think?

masks is selling pretty okay, hitting to approx 500 masks now. i hope i can clear this batch asap.

i made a mistake yesterday. i miscalculated something when i was in a daze. i was browsing through a taiwan website where they are selling 100 masks for NT1530. blur blur me, 1am in the morning, tried to convert the money back to SGD and see how much it was. and i was so stupid enough to punch 1530 muliply by 0.02. by right, it should be 1530 multiply by 0.05 OR divide by 20, in the end i got both of them mix up and calculated to a sum of 30SGD, i was so happy that 100 masks costs 30 dollars, which means 1 mask only 30 cents (and if i sell it for 90 cents, i earn more!), so stupid me, go and purchase it straightaway.

so when i went to bed at 230am, i was still so happy that the masks are 30 cents. then i did a mental calculation, and i jump out of bed. not in a very clear state of mind, i went out to the living room, frantically looking for a calculator, and realise i calculated wrong just now! what the fuck.

so i called the uob call centre at 3am, ask them to stop transaction. but i knew it was useless la, cuz once u approve payment, i has already been deducted.at that moment, how i hope i left with 30 cents in my bank so that transaction has failed.

well, thank goodness i didnt go and buy 1000 masks man. anyway i dun have the money for that too. haha. i emailed the company la and they didnt reply. run away with my money!! :( haha

take it as a experience lor. anyway i brought a new coffee masks lor! 100 pieces! oh my goodness, im going to sell it all, if not i have 100 pieces and maybe u will smell my coffee face from now. LOL

i am actually very pissed with my student's mummy and the tuition assistant. the mother hired a secondary 4 girl to coach her daughter. but realising that she is not very capable, she engaged me as her main tutor. so our tuition timing is always saturday 1pm, and on days when i cannot make it, she will always try to arrange another day saying that the child's exams is coming.

btw, she is in primary school.

then in 1 week's time, she is gona have a final year exam. ok i shall trace back to what happen around 1 mth ago. she had a school test, she scored pretty good for maths and the highest for english, which makes mi very happy (cuz she always fail -_-). before her tests, her mother would arrange for mi to come twice a week instead of once a week. so i have been drilling real hard on her.

and where is the assistant tutor? busy with her own exams.

so after the test, our tuition timings become very irregular, like she would miss 1.5 weeks of lesson for some reasons. and the most angry thing is, the assistant tutor keep arranging tuition that crash with my timing!

originally her timing is supposed to be saturday 5pm. and i would come at 1pm. then she sms the mum saying that she needs to study, so can she come at 12pm. she offered a 3 hours lesson. good lor, 12pm to 3pm. purposely lor.

then the mother has been pushing back my timing, or either cancel it because of her. and to make things worse, sometimes she cancel it last minute, which means the child wont have any tuition at all, which is very bad cuz this girl cannot stop pushing.

i have made myself very clear that no one is suppose to touch my 1pm time slot to the child and the mother. but time and again, when i have confirmed the timing, the mother would call and ask if i can come later.

reason why? she claims all credit for the high marks in the eng and maths test.

how ridiculous is that? and her mother should know that the assistant teacher was busy preparing for her exams that she didnt appear for a good two weeks before her test and onli came once before the test.

so fine, now poor me somehow became the assistant tutor lor. it doesnt feel good especially when somebody who disappears for so long, just come and claim credits and offering more hours of tuition wins the case.

im not trying to use powers over anything but since i m the one whu has been helping ur child to pull up her results, shouldnt i get more respect instead of always changing timing that in the end affects my whole schedule.

and the mother now says: oh teacher maureen dont come on saturday, just come on wednesday can already.

fuck.

im willing to give one more lesson on wednesday, doesnt mean that im always free. and in actual fact, i always take a cab down from ntu, which is totally "i am not earning already",

its okay, after this week, i just let the responsible tuition assistant do her wonderful teaching job and help the kid score A. GREAT, I will have more free time.

plese dont come and look for mi if you have a assistant tutor whu dun have her own assessment and uses all my school papers, who disappears for a good two weeks before the student test and then come back to claim credits.

no matter how high u give mi, i have my pride.

this is so not ethical! morally wrong! grrr

tml i will be going to holistic living festival at fort canning! so excited can! its a bi annual event and i will get to meet many many famous new age masters (tarot readers, crystal healing etc) there and get to try new stuffs at discounted price!

then i will be attending andreas's 21st birthday party at coasta sands. omg so far... but andreas, i give u face ok, my guides junior! haha

sunday i can sleep later and dun nid to complain to nick sir every sunday about waking up earli for tuition. LOL.

at night im going over to CA house for a mini family gathering.

all the emotions will appear whenever i am there. only my family is going to the once so familiar house, meeting a person who was once so familiar but now only meet twice a year. and meeting the maid whu has seen us grow from a kid, who still rememebers everything abt mi, and always bring extra chilli for mi to take home, and the benovelent mother...

面对还是有困难。

most importantly, im sure they are gona ask mi to help wen hao. which makes mi in a super difficult position. i have already stated clearly that im no longer working there and i cant be of much help.

起初已劝你谨慎，可是你一直很有信心保证一切一定成功。就因为知道你失败了很多次才给你忠告，why wont u learn from mistakes? 生意不好时，才来说那时每看清楚。我不是神，我不能呼来钟琴，也请你别一直抱着我能救你的那种梦了好吗？生意是要经营，不是一步登天的。而且你刚开始营业，难道你以为一个月内就能赚10千块？出来社会工作那么久，难道你不知道你的需要预备至少6个月的租金及准备前6个月会亏钱？世上没有一炮打响的品牌，所以请不要再给我压力。

speaking about wen hao, reminds me of fungie. sorry babe, i havent got time to accompany you to go look at tour packages, but i promise i will meet up with u soon yea?

and fungie say she is browsing clothes for xmas, perhaps its time for mi to do it too!

xmas is lonely without a bf, but its okie, i have a best friend :)

oh nick sir was sick the past few days. please take care.

ok fine, i have grumbled and whined and done everything. and lastly, this is dedicated to my lovely evelyn:

be strong, i am here. :)
*hugs* please take care of urself, i dont want to lose somebody so dear to me.

SUPERBAND 2008

SUPERBAND 2008 ended in a blast yesterday. Thank you Shigong for bringing me along, it was a fun experience! :)

We are the supporters of "Big Wing Blow". They are a talented group of teachers and studetns from Lee Wei Song School of Music, everyone of them sang and play so well.

Shigong's colleague (pretty ex air stewardess which i can't catch her name) and her husband Mark.

whee! we are seated at a very good spot!

These are the four groups that got into finals: da feng chui, san yue, yi shi jie and tu zi.

And the hosts for the night: peifen and zhen rong. arent they handsome and pretty?

Last year champion: milo bing. i like them! :D

GOH: BEYOND! (i remember hearing their songs when i was young, perhaps in the 1990s. but when i told shuwan about it, she said beyond doesnt belong to our generation. aiya nvm la. they are good)

MAYDAY! Although i am not a mayday fan, but i got pretty excited when they came out. haha

Personally, i felt that the standard for superband this year is so much lousier than last year, which explains why i never follow the show at all.

Yi Shi Jie just looks different, japnese style which many cannot accept la. and their main singer isnt as strong as other groups.

at first i thought san yue is pretty good, considering that some of them are pub performers and the singer is not bad. (but alvin says that the drummer has lousy attitude)

da feng chui didnt leave a deep impression on mi till i read that they are a bunch of teachers/students from lee wei song school of music.

and i like the dressing of tu zi and their style of music is very different, althou most of the time the singer has problem pronouncing proper mandarin (it goes the same for singing) and we would often laugh at them. and heard from rj the black face drummer is from CS. aiyo im shock by that news but aint surprise. she got the dao look which fits into the cs category. lol

well, its unfortunate that da feng chui never win, but it doesnt matter, i know they are much better than tu zi.

XIAO HEI IS BACK!

Just when Im enjoying my life, i heard a 惊天动地 news!

XIAO HEI IS COMING!

HE IS COMING TO STAY FOR ANOTHER GOOD 3 MONTHS!

Thank goodness, he is coming in mid November, which means MY EXAM PERIOD.

And he is going to be here for Xmas.

And his granny will tag along, who likes to bang the door so loudly.

And im going to eat the same food for 3 months.

NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE!

I better find some activities so that i wont be home that often. but well, i guess i will be filming my FYP then.

Celebrating Xiaoling's bday tml! whee!

And shigong is bringing mi to watch the superband finals this sunday! whee!

Happy Children's Day

WOO! There goes the end of our term break. And what awaits us, is more assignments and more projects and finally to exams. Though the semester is very short, but it does seem very long. Perhaps it's just too torturous.

I guess I have rested long enough and it's time to study. Mid term exam results aren't satisfatory. If i don't intend to retake this module and stay for one more year, i have to buck up. (I just can't imagine how some people can score full marks man.)

I have officially ended my tuition with my N level girl. Good Luck Sharlene, im sure you will do well...:)

This Sunday, I will officially end my tuition with my PSLE and Secondary 3 students. Today is Children's Day. But i got all of them back for tuition. Well, take it as a last gathering, take it as a last confidence boost, i treated them to yummy pizzas from Pizza Hut.

And it's really touching when one of the PSLE's student's daddy actually gave me a big hongbao for thanking me these 2 years. Although she has been constantly failing (-_-") and constantly scolded by me for losing her hwk, threw her rubbish hwk on the floor, slapping her for all wrong ans and ridiculous words she mispronounced, ok... i lost my train of thoughts...opz, i think i m a fierce and violent teacher.

but well, despite many many many of these, i didnt give up on her. and i guess, that's what the parent is most grateful about, for not giving up on her. through the years, i have been giving her extra coachings, extra lessons, extra work, more than anyone else.

come to think of it, they are the 1st kids i met when i joined renena 3 years ago, and throughout the years, i see them grow as a kid. slowly picking up sentence by sentence...from not knowing a single chinese words, to reading it and slowly learning them all... i thank them for not giving up on themselves too.

gosh, suddenly i felt that i have grew old and i will miss these kids? -sour feeling- how come i feel like crying! grrrr

but well, 人无不散之宴席.

good luck rebecca, chancen, peizhen... all the best for your future endeavours. :)

ok lah, i will still see them this sunday, so i will save the tears till then. perhaps i will give each of them a card or a book mark.

他们也可能是我最后一批的学生了... =(

well, after this sunday, things will be much lighter. i will only be left with O levels students! which are easy to handle.

got to handle my exams liao -wipe tears away-

ok, i think this is a emo post.

last week, aunty brought me in to uncle's room, and show me a poster, and she said to me: "read this when you are free."

so today, i creep into uncle's room, read it and felt sour all over again. it's really touching and let me share with all of u.

it just takes a few minutes to read. :)

当我老了，不再是原来的我。
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己衣服上时，当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，
请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。
你小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时，
请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，
请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双腿疲劳而无法行走时，
请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，
请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我，
请不要悲伤。理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始学习如何生活时我对你那样。
当初我引导你走上人生路，如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑，这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

yes, suddenly, i felt people around me have aged. and one day, i will be like them.
pardon me for my temper,
pardon me for my nonsense,
pardon me for not understanding,
i love all of u :)

i think i must constantly read this poster to remind myself to treasure my family more.

ok on a happy note, i was sick on monday, yet i still met nick sir for dinner that day. hehe. dinner was at mahabatten fish market, which i felt is much better than fish n co bah, thou i dont really have appetitide.

clarke quay is lovely at night :)

YAY! SICK AGAIN! -_-"

I just have a lousy constitution lah.

Chris was sick yesterday, and just nice I went back Renena. So I visited her and discussed about my website.

Then I had a super long tuition, from 930am to 4pm. I was coughing and sneezing. I was shivering, to be exact.

Eve's mom drove me home (thanks aunty!) and i was dead on bed. Actually refused to see doctor until I realised i was running a high fever. cuz the doctor from 24 hour clinic at AMK central sucks to the core, lousy doctor, so i see it pointless to visit him.

Bobian lor, fever liao. then grandaddy took bus withmi to AMK Avenue 10 to see another doctor (Peace Clinic).

Now, i have just woken up, felt much better after sweating.

Meeting Nick sir for dinner tml! i will get well! whee! fish market! ~~

Dainty Design Masks $0.80 each!

Went out with fungie today, supposedly to go wenhao's prawn mee stall at hougang for dinner. but when we went there, it was closed. oh, fungie's bf joined us too. gosh, i cant recognise him man. haha

after eating, fungie sent me home. by right the driver was his bf. but stupid mi, go and ask her to drive. in the end, the 3 of us sat in the car all sweating. her bf was busily coaching her, watching the road and cars and holding on to the hand brake. LOL

while me, sitting right behind fungie, grabbing the handle tight. it was a long and silent ride. LOL

but ok la, to think that this girl actually drove 3 times this year and im safe at home blogging, means im ok. and she wants mi to mention that she is a SAFE driver. ahem ahem! haha.

Something unpleasant happened to evelyn on thursday. i hope she is fine now :)

the term break is ending. omg, why is it so fast.

im happy because:
- i have met my AJ lovelies.
- i have given enough tuition.
- i have cut my hair again.
- i have set up a online shop.
- i have been exercising 3 days.
- i have ate supper with eve.

im unhappy because:
I have not done any readings! -_-

Spent my whole wednesday on FYP/project meeting. Met in town to discuss, thereafter rush for tuition at Yishun. and i met this very irritating cab driver.

He took CTE(SLE) from orchard to yishun and at the expressway, he was driving at 50km/h. i was so pissed, cuz im late for tuition and he still drive machiam see scenery. I looked at my watch, it was 3.25pm, so i said:

ME: ERM sorry uncle, can u try to reach the place by 3.30pm?
IRRITATING UNCLE: what? what you say?
ME: (deaf isit, must be not paying attention while driving la) Can you reach by 3.30pm?
IRRITATING UNCLE: 3.30pm? ok.

And he continues driving at 50km/h...-_-

finally when i reach yishun, this uncle makes mi more furious.

ME: uncle, please don't turn here. Go straight then U-TURN.
IRRITATING UNCLE: wad?
ME: (*&^%#%^&%#) DON'T turn here. GO STRAIGHT.

he drove straight.

ME: Uncle, please make a U-TURN here.
IRRITATING UNCLE: turn right here hur?
ME: I mean U-TURN.

AND HE TURNS RIGHT.....(*&^%&%^#%^&%#%^&#

fed up can, and he have to drive all the way to the other road, make a big round and u-turn back. it was already 3.35pm.

ME: UNCLE, I SAID U-TURN, NOT TURN RIGHT.
IRRITATING UNCLE: what? u-turn? you never tell me earlier.
ME: (pissed off) I TOLD YOU TWO TIMES BEFOREHAND ALREADY!

Towards the end of the road...

IRRITATING UNCLE: now turn right?
ME: NO, U-TURN TO THAT PLACE.
ME: U-TURN, NOT TURN RIGHT!

and he u-turn, and drove t 50km/h (p.s. he is driving a new taxi.)

in the end i paid 15 bucks, instead of my normal 8 bucks. -_-

after tuition, rushed down to queenstown for another FYP discussion with a lady. hop onto cab again, i was late for tuition, and i was late for the meeting.(moral: don't arrange tuition in between -_-)

this young cab driver is v good, he drives at good speed, find the shortest route for mi and takes time to read the map i printed. cuz im going to lock road, this very ulu but expensive and posh place.

then on the road, we saw this yellow lamborghini on street. the uncle and i had this fnny conversation:

FUNNY UNCLE: whah, what a waste of money leh. buy such a expensive car and let the tyres scratch across the road.
ME: -_-" aboh then, buy the car and put at home 'bai mei' meh? but true la, singapore so small, drive so expensive car abit waste money.
FUNNY UNCLE: ya lor, summore cannot speed. see, my taxi and his car end up on the same road. but hai singapore so many rich people leh.if only i can drive that....
ME: aiya uncle dont compare la, ren bi ren hui qi si ren la.

then i suddenly pop out a sentence

ME: see, the yellow colour so OBIANG! not nice lah
FUNNY UNCLE: -fainted- XIAO JIE, LAMBORGHINI LEH!

ME: i know, so what? i don't like the colour.
FUNNY UNCLE: -fainted-

And he goes again inplying how envious he was...

FUNNY UNCLE: sit in lamborghini is like sitting on the floor, very low one.
ME: aiyo so cham, can see anot? buy such a expensive car to sit on the floor.
FUNNY UNCLE: -_-" XIAO JIE, LAMBORGHINI LEH!

in the end, he drove to ask mi to see if the driver is young or old.

i took a peep. wahlou, so low and window so black, it's so difficult to see a thing lor.

ME: it's a young man.
FUNNY UNCLE: wah so young drive lamborghini liao ah........

taking a closer look...
ME: Omg! NO leh! the driver has long hair! it's a young woman!
FUNNY UNCLE: WAH women nowadays more POWER!

in the end my cab fare reaches twenty-seven bucks. ouch

thankfully, it wasn't a wasted trip. the person was a strong and fierce lady. but im sure she makes a good intervew. hai, after every meeting, with new things explored, i always have problem imagining how our documentary is gona look like again.

I had a great weekend, what about u?

Met Lishan on Saturday afternoon for shopping after my tuition. And i just gotten my tuition fees that day, so i splurge like nobody's business.

Went Far East to shop and yes, im looking for bags again. Saw a very cute mickey mouse t-shirt and i bought it. the shopkeeper is very nice. i was grumbling about the lousy colour of mickey's backside and ask if he could give me a discount. And instead of selling for 15.90, he sold me at 11 bucks! whee! so happy!

then we walk and walk and walk, both of us bought a bag each from Funcdeko. Thanks Shijie for recommending this shop to me! i bought a super vintage bag at 60 bucks. oh mine, my heart felt so pain. But it was after many many considerations...

Then, went to meet Michelle and Jieying at night for a yummy dinner in cityhall. we ate this authentic chicken rice with those old old kind setting, similar to Yet Con.

Our main purpose for the day is to go Singapore Arts Museum to attend FLEAtique - it's a night Flea Market!

sweating, and sweating and sweating. we 'inspeact' each and every stall with care. seriously, there wasnt many nice clothes. but i bought another bag for 17 bucks! haha, it was a real good bargain, considering the bag doesnt look like it's only worth 17 bucks. and we linger around at one of the jewelry store and i finally gave in and bought a nice necklace, a bird kept in the cage. bought it at twenty bucks. while michelle got a earring for 25 bucks, aiyo so expensive! but it's very very cute! and jieying got a nice tube dress and a earring.

Carrying so many things, i took cab home. well, what's unusual right?

Spent my sunday in tuition again. yawn. i cant wait for 7 october to arrive. cuz by then, there will be no more p6 student and n level students, though i think i will miss them all. and im gona spend my new few days tuitioning, and tuitioning and tuitioning.

supposed to rush to another pte tuition thereafter, but i was late, or rather, very late. supposed to reach by four pm but i could only reach by five pm. just when i have boarded the cab and on CTE, my student said she got a dinner to attend and have to change day. felt sorry about it.

since im on cab, i took cab back home to fetch mummy before we took a bus to tpy and wait for daddy. got daddy to drive us to changi road to eat the yummy 'yao zi mian xian' (pig's kidney mee sua). it was still very yummy. i knew about this place when i was working in Se Xiang Wei and i had to do a feature on some yummy supper places.

well, all of a sudden i miss my eating/working life there, cuz i get to explore different yummy eating places in spore! :(

but studies kept me so busy, if not i would have agreed to the freelance job.

ok i digressed. yummy dinner then head home and continue to rot. it feels real good to just rot and rot. sat in front of my laptop, downloaded games and play and play. occasionally turning my head to watch the tv and laugh a bit.

pay until i got so tired, and grandaddy nagging at me for wasting his electricity -_- and i went to sleep. it was a good sleep :)

and woke up today to exercise. sweat out all my fats, love it. drums was cancelled, so i will continue rot till 7pm and go for piano lesson.

wrong, i should be doing research for my project or follow up on reading. what am i doing here? aiya heck la.

I JUST NEED A BREAK!

it's HOLIDAYS!

While playing 《爱很简单》by David Tao,

he suddenly pop up a funny question: 爱真的有那么简单吗？

which left me pondering for a week.


four-o-two mid term exam 让我伤痕累累, as much as i try to dismiss the thought, part of me was hoping to get the answers to the tricky questions. all of us seem to have different answers to almost all questions, which left me just feeling uneasy.


it's the term break. i wasn't as excited as i expected. what lies ahead is tonnes of untouched readings to follow up, a video assignment, a FYP progress report.

im starting to hate project meetings as it often lead to a waste of time and fruitless discussions. Perhaps independent work is more productive...


i haven't been giving time to my students when all their exams are just round the corner. N Levels in one week, PSLE in two weeks, O Levels in four weeks. Why are some of them not feeling the sense of urgency as yet?

其实有点生气，不过算了。

let's just finish the race.


I just want a break. Can i stay uncontactable for the time being?

有点不想开嘴巴...


YAC has closed for the semester. Till we meet, it should be during December or next year. Dinner was delicious, especially the chilli crabs.

I suddenly miss going out with YAC guys. It seems like a really long time since we had a outing.


爱真的有那么简单吗？
只要知足，爱就变得很简单。
