Spent the weekends "bonding" with the family.
  • Lunch at Seoul Garderns.
  • Watched movies from 1-6.
  • Dinner, Watched more movies.
  • Karaoke on youtube.
  • Went for jog/run tgt. (OMG, SO FUNNY)
  • Shopping!
  • SLEEEEEP.
Watched twilight, and I suddenly remembered why I loved the book sooo much. I think New Moon was not bad really. It was just that the actors looked uglier. I have no idea why! And kristen stewart had like weird expressions maybe thats why everyone was like putting New Moon down. HAHA, I am so lag about this but whatever.

& people, do you guys realise that its already the 8th of feb, and after feb is march and the fact that feb has only 28 days and that march is like really near and like march is when you-know-what comes out.
Freakay.

We’re all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what’s coming. It’s pointless in the end, because all the worrying and the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are.
Grey’s Anatomy

I say, take a nap!

Just a weird question.

Do the boys have to shave their heads before they enlist, or do the army people shave their heads for them?

Because, I've been seeing them with a shaved head before they enlist. Means that they went to the barber to get their hair shaven, which means they had to use their own money to shave their own head when they can actually let the army people shave it for them FOC right.

MIND BOGGLING.

Let's play a silent game.
When I say freeze, you're not supposed to talk. No sounds or whatsoever okay.
You can only start talking when I say unfreeze. If any of you talk, the whole table will do math assessments.
Deal?

GAME? OKAY. SO FUN.

OKAY, 3..2..1... Starting from now. FREEZE.

-20 mins of silence later-

Teacher, I don't want to play already.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAh. At least I had 20 mins of peace.

A 12 yo boy asked me for my hp number today. I declined his request because he was acting weird and started smelling me.

I decided to be good and come in early for work to find razi and jing out for lunch. So I sat outside the centre waiting till 1pm when they decided to text me that they were actually in the canteen.

We were randomly talking until razi had an idea to make roti prata + sausages + scrambled eggs! They just came from lunch right. Supposed to be full right but apparently they're still hungry.

So he experimented with the microwave, oven and a mini cooker and came up with the stuff you see in the picture. It didn't taste too bad actually. So fun.

I'm sick, like runny nose and sore throat. Downed countless strepsils.

We decided to implement some of the methods we learnt at the course on saturday. So, when the class is noisy the teacher(mostly me) will do this.
Teacher: ONE, TWO!
Students: Eyes on you!
Teacher: THREE, FOUR!
Students: Talk no more!

And they're supposedly to go quiet after that. HAHHAAH. Whatever, I end up laughing my ass off after saying one, two. HAHAHHAHAHAHA. And you know its kind of an adaptation of the nursery rhyme one two buckle my shoe, three four, shut the door. So, the kids are so used to saying shut the door that they usually end up saying shut... YOUR MOUTH, and they all end up laughing that it gets even noisier! PHAIL OMG.

I walked home again today! I'm going to walk home alternate days from now on! SO FUN.
bye!

Shit, I'm sooo tired from today and its only 9pm.

Started the day really early with breakfast with razi at 8, then headed down to pasir ris community centre for a class management course. It was fking awkward because I was a newbie and part-timer but the rest are kinda old people who already bonded and known each other really well. Sat through a class about how to handle problem kids and reduce noise levels. Its been so long since I've sat and listened attentively while someone talked. I have found out that my attention span has decreased tremendously. I found myself doodling away while the speaker talked and talked about stuff that was kind of already in place. Made a few erm, should I call those people friends? Yeah, talked about superficial stuff.

THEN, THEY HAD OUTDOOR TIMES! HAHAHA. I never expected that. We played games like games that are played during orientations. It was supposed to help us be better facilitators. One game they blindfolded all 20 of us and placed us at a huge field. It was 11am. Blazing sun. We had to find our way to the rope while blindfolded and form a square. It was really hot. In the end, we formed a straight line instead. The field was wet and gross. My sandals are spoilt.

Lunch was awkward. Nyeh.

After that met up with shar to go to vivo to meet photog 4 and the bimbs. <3
Took photos talked and stuff. I really like hanging out with them.

Happy 19th sharon, hope you enjoyed it.
Sorry for bringing home your charger and belt. HAHAHHA.
LOVE YOU.(gross right but still, tsk)

Work rant )

"Teacher, I think I love her"
Kids are so cute. A boy confessed to a girl, the boy is 9 and the girl 8. They may not really know much about BGR but I believe their love is pure.





I didn't know scarlett johansson can sing! I love this!

TGIF!

HAHAHAH, I came late for work. 5 mins late and jing was like staring at me and then at the clock. She keeps making these nice weird origami pieces for me. HAHAH. Chatted with her till the children came.

I feel like a mother, even students not from the student care ask me for help and stuff. I have to make sure they eat rice instead of nonsense like nuggets and stuff. I have to nag when they dont finish their food. Lol.

I made the primary 3 kids write a composition on basketball since they are all so in love with it. They had so much trouble spelling and I accidentally burst out, "What, are you guys from China or something?!" (No offense here) To my amazement, out of my 8 primary 3 students, 3 of them were from china, 2 from Malaysia, 1 from phillipines, and 2 sgreans. HAHAHAH. But it was really nice to see them seriously trying out to write a nice story. One boy even skipped teabreak to finish up his story and ended it with, Thank you for reading my long story. HAHAHHAHAHA.

Today was rather fulfilling. I taught a primary1 kid number bonds! And she actually understood it and could do it herself after that. I taught another boy how to subtract using his fingers and they somewhat started enjoying maths.

I swear the kids were from a kampung or something. The used their basketball to hit a jambu tree to get the fruits down. AND, they also somehow got a lot of mango! A LOT. Then, some of the girls were saying to me how they like catching grasshoppers. I thought they were joking, but they really caught a lot of grasshoppers and shoved it to me. I AM SUPER AFRAID OF GRASSHOPPERS. So, I ran around the play area like a crazy woman. WTF, grasshoppers! Who the hell catches grasshoppers in singapore anymore?!?!

I played badminton with the kids during outdoor. They think I'm super good but actually I'm really lousy because I even lost to sharon OMG. HAHAHA. There is this boy his name is shitan. I pronounced his name as SHIT-ANN the first time and he just gave me this super cute look, I loved him since. So, he is from badminton and he wanted to play with me but obviously I had to refuse. In the end we played doubles. We won the first two games and lost the last one. WTH RIGHT, how can I lose to little people!? HAHA. SO FUN. I CAN DO THIS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

Went to my neighbourhood camera shop to develope robbie's first roll. Saw a BBF. $580! MIGHT AS WELL BUY GAKKENFLEX OR DLSR!

Love. What is it to you? In reality it's merely a certain amount of chemicals in the brain that cause you to feel lust, security and trust. In my opinion, love is a warped term.

Oh shit, its 11.34am now and I just realised today is friday instead of saturday. My dad is sick so he is taking the day off, making it feel like its saturday. I should faster go take my lunch and go for work now. WOOOOOOORRRRRRRRKKKKKKK. I'm so excited!

hah.
I'm going to develop my first roll on robbie(yes, I named it). Idk how I finished the 36 shots because the last I remembered i still have >10. Must be the kids. ):

I’m feeling empty, i’m feeling an emptiness right now. Its a kind of emptiness that brings some relief. It feels empty insde of me but somehow i feel free. For once I’m finally empty and my soul is free. It’s all out now and now i feel free. i’ve finally felt this feeling and now im in peace. thank me for still believing this moment can happen, this moment is forever to keep.

Its only monday.
HAHAHA, I guess I should be happy working in such a happy place with a supervisor asking me if I'm thirsty or hungry everytime I come in and wave a bottle of milk at me when I'm teaching.

And I have to ask my 11 yo sister to explain to me the concept of number bonds. woweeeeee.

Hope to see you soon-ish.

Went for CCA recruitment today at TK.  I took a cab omg, I should have just called J and we could have shared.

Missed their outdoor performance and but came in time for their indoor performance. Oh well, what can I say.



10 years~

Looked at albums, watched videos, listen to drum solos.
Although most of their faces were foreign, being back in Tk felt so comfortable. Saw so many teachers! I saw not very purple SoniaYeo, skinny poon, mdmhalilah, mrskhairul, cikguazman, SO MANY MORE.

After lunch at pastamania(always like that when I'm at parkway) and KOI, we decided to go back to TK to look at the state of the band. They're going DCI. And some of us concluded its time to let go and let be.



We sat there, listened, bitched about flakes, reminisced and laughed at ourselves, our passion that funnily exist till now that we get so worked up and feel that we should do something about it.

We came upon a realisation that after 2 years we still can back to each other.



I think I'm coming back next week.

Diana you chiobu you look like whoooo!



Actually, I just like the flash. Its so cute, so big.

I went to work today.
My boss is young, wears very strong colonge, nice, and humourous.

He told me, "If you need anything, I'm very flexible." Pauses for a few seconds, then continues. "Flexible like a rrrubber band."

Hardihaha. And he makes the children call him Master. HAHAHAHAH.

My collegue is from China. I spent my 3 hours bitching about the children with her.

I get paid $20 a day to do this and play with primary school kids.
What a life.
