Very very very busy with school, tuition and work. There's only 3 days more and I will be freed!
In the lift of my school this morning, I overheard a conversation between two construction heads. They were complaining that "no one does a project like this?!" and "this is the first time I am doing this kind of project". Well, to conclude, I think there might be some management problems, perhaps cos school's gonna start in August and the school is not really completed yet. There's lots of cleaning up to do, touching-up here and there. And, things seem done in a rush, tables are chipped, furniture looks cheapo etc. But somehow, when they were talking about it, I don't feel surprised. Rather, a little of "yeah you are right. This is why my school is different." kind of feeling came upon me.

YOYOYO! LOL.
well, it is going to be a very exciting and busy week! And, it was an equally good week for me next week too.
Attended a birthday party on Sat, only stayed for, 15 mins I think. We went there a little too late. So sorry babe, arrived too late. This prompts me to have some thoughts about birthday parties. Well, at least I have confirmed a few sure-come attendance for my party (if i am having one) . Really very happy that someone agreed to attend mine, when initially she told me that she wouldn't want to come if I am going to have a grand party.
Went to have some prata with Daphne (yo, I mentioned you here, so you should be honoured man LOL) after attending the party. Hmm, it was just the usual two of us, the same place, the same time. I think we tend to always eat prata together after midnight yeah? And, we actually WALK home after that.
Oh man, I have always tolerate a certain race, even when my friends are always talking about them. How un-civilised they are, etc. But, I was very disappointed to witness their behaviour this morning when I took the train towards town.
The story goes like this:
I went into a cabin, wanted to look for a seat man as I was damn tired. No seats, so I stood. It was a rather crowded train. It was then, when I noticed a group of Indian guys (aged around 17-19). They were all sitting down. There were around 6 to 7 of them. Alright, thinking to myself that if they were to alight soon, I might get a seat. LOL. Somehow, I guess there were more of them. After a while, a Indian girl (aged 18 or so) appeared and squeezed past me. She began to talk to them, and one of them stood up and she sat down. Alright, that was quite gentlemanly, I thought. LOL. Oh, they were talking quite loudly btw. A couple of minutes later, another girl appeared too. She squeezed past me, and sat down too when another of her friends stood up. Alright, I was still not pissed. One of the Indian guys, A, that stood up, went over to the side of the train and began to talk to a guy. Okie, I realised that there were a few of their friends on the other side of the train too. But A, instead of grabbing hold of the railings at the top, he placed his whole body on the metal pole, which, I was holding on to for balance. I was rather pissed. There were a few others who quickly took their hands away from the pole too. Alright, I told myself. Relax. A began to talk to his friends, and he began to swing his body?! His right foot actually kicked my ankle. OMG. I really wanted to kill him. He looked back and I stared real hard at him. I was thinking whether I should tell him off. The least he should do is to say sorry to me. In the meanwhile, I noticed some of them were holding on to a NTU bag. Oh, so they should be International students. Anyway, I am still not against them yet as these I met are really young kids.
Oh gillian dearest, so sorry that I cant attend today.
Project meetings should be effective and efficient. I guess when you decide to hold a meeting, you should consider the purpose of it, and whether there should be other means to have it other then meeting up. Sometimes, communicating over the phone can prove to be as effective as ever.
Read papers just now. Yeah, I realised that things are make me really pissed are: irresponsible people, people who take advantage of others' kindness, etc.
And..I am going to be a train babe! (or rather train girl) LOL. Means I am going to stop taking buses and only trains.
Alright, my sentences dont really flow I realised. But I am so tired that I cant think accept to update. Wish me luck for this week!

!!! Everyone seems to be planning parties! Certainly I would want catch up with friends (that I havent seen for a very loooooooong time). So, should I or shouldnt I, throw a party?
I did up a list of names that I would like to invite to my party (if it really happens). But, I am so so so afraid that, many will not turn up.
That will be really very upsetting and sad. LOL.
So, please come for my party yeah?

Hey..
I guess my previous entry was..way OFF. I am sorry if I sounded very mean, this always happens when I am upset/unhappy/pissed or whatever. I say harsh stuff when I feel like that. Yeah, so sorry to you.
I guess when I received your sms this afternoon, I have already simmered down. Actually even this morning when I smsed you, I have already forgetten about the whole incident. Daphne spoke to me last night and told me that I am petty. LOL. I think so too man.
Well, before I continue on with other stuff, I would like to tell you that..of course I understand from your point of view. I think you have misunderstood what I was talking about. Certainly parents are important than anyone else, in my case, it is and will always be so too. (this leads to me feeling kind of confused over what you wrote in your blog :D )
What I meant to say is that, I am second fiddle to your plans of the day. You get it? Like, if you are unsure whether your mum is free, you should have just cancel the appointment with me. I meant to say that, I am second fiddle when your initial appointment is unavailable and later it'll be me.
You should have known me better to know that I am a very understanding person! *blushed* LOL.
Yeah, hopefully you will understand what I was feeling when I wrote that entry man. (and I seriously think I am suffering from pms at that moment of time.) On a lighter note, here's an animated Me for you (to laugh at) ! :P
Hope everything will be alright for us.

Well, I dont know how should I spell this out.
You told me that you might cancel our appointment for tmr, as your mum might be taking a day's off. Well, certainly I can understand the reason why you have to cancel our appointment at such a last minute as your reason is understandable.
But, have you thought that you might have placed me as a second fiddle? Let's say that if your mum have to work, and so our appointment will still be valid. But, if your mum decides not to work, then you would have to cancel our appointment. So, what am I supposed to do? Be like someone who, waits for you to tell me whether you can make it for tmr?
Yeah, of course you had told me that you will tell me latest by 3pm, but have you ask what time will I be getting out of house tmr? So what if I have brought all my stuff for tmr and you come telling me that you wouldnt make it?
My point is:
- it is understandable that you have to cancel our appointment at the last minute
- it is upsetting to know that I have been placed as a second fiddle
Well....I guess I am too petty perhaps.
Anyway, just forget about the appointment tmr then.

Hmm, kids, like what they say, are always the most honest humans.
1. They do not really lie. Okie, they might lie to you about why they cant finish their homework, why they cant have tuition at some time slots (reasons like they have to camp overnight in school cos of some camp, or they sleep at 6pm in the evening so they cant have tuition at night). Yeah, this kinda crap, it is rather cute to hear all these stuff from them. Doesnt it remind you of those times when you try to lie to your tutors too?
2. If you look good, they will tell you. If you look bad, they will tell you too. LOL.
3. They look upon you as a role model, which, can actually makes you feel good about yourself. Sometimes bad too, cos deep down inside, you arent that good a saint as what they think you are.
My kids are just as wonderful as those above. One actually named me as her "favourite teacher" in her journal. LOL. *beams*
A conversation with another kid:
First, she points at my polo tee and says, "if you change the logo of your polo tee to the word 'popular', you will really look like those working in POPULAR bookshop."
Right.
Second, she says, "My sister is copying your dress fashion. When she dresses up, she looks like you, in a tee and short skirt."
Right, I treat that as a COMPLIMENT. LOL.
Third, she asks, "Two persons of the same height, one skinny and one slight bigger-boned, who looks taller?" I start to ponder over her question. And she continues, "For example, the skinny one is my sister, and the other one is like YOU." Oh so she means that I am the fat one? LOL. Then, she continues on, "Oh no, I mean not you, but let's say my friend ( I know who her friend is so I could compare)."
Right.
So, it was like a..a minute ago she was complimenting me, another minute after, she actually pull me down from the clouds.
Kids, are just so adorable, arent they?

Sometimes I would wonder how frank can I be, with what I blog here. Especially to those who were/are close to me when I broke up with my previous bf, you would have know how much I have gone through to become what I am now. LOL.
Yeah, obviously people would always say this, they dont get it why on earth would they fall for someone like that. Someone who turns ugly once things arent working out fine. Right, of course I am not here to rant about how bad or nasty he was to me, or rather he is still doing to me.
Right, I am rather gullible in fact. To actually believe that people always have a good heart and stuff like that. But it is always when things happen, then friends would tell me that, this kind of act is in fact so common that why was I so silly to not see it coming.
Enough of all these, anyway, if you happen to be reading this, well, I am not really bad-mouthing you. LOL ( just in case you are really so dense to think so, and starts to plot evil/nasty thoughts against me AGAIN) Just get on with your own life and have fun! LOL.
Yah, so I am, so not attached and so not seeing any one. Someone asked me these 2 questions some days back.
Back tmr. :)

I skipped Matriculation today. Woke up feeling very sick, head spinning and throat cracking. Following by nose sniffing and stuff, think I caught a cold last night for bathing so late. LOL. After some thought, I decided to not go for Mat cos I dont want to fall sick all the way and cant go for my hols. So sorry to THOSE who worked really hard for SMUve and VIVACE and not to those who worked for $$. LOL.
Oh, Chee Ching sms-ed me last night. Rather surprised to hear from him. He should be reading this soon, so I better say nice things to him. So, here it goes: Really looking forward to seeing him in school man. Its better to see a familiar face in school ,rather than others who appeared to be nice but not. Someone I know I can trust. :) And I am sure he will do well in SMU.
Okie, gonna go rest more.

Oh my..I just found out something rather disgusting about some mates.
Yes, some people can look very committed to something, but ultimately, they still care about themselves. Some choose to take the easy way out, finding means to earn money while expecting others to do their work for them. THIS IS REALLY VERY IRRITATING. Sometimes I will think that I am the silly one, willing to fork out my time to be committed to something, while others can just give excuses or reasons to be not available. I am slogging my ass off to give tuition so as to earn more $$, sometimes even cancelling my tuition lessons because of other committments. What happens to the PASSION for something? I am so glad that I know about this now rather than after my BBK trip. At least I do not feel so guilty about going away for a short while. Really appreciate those who are STILL so committed to it.
Well, in short, I am so so so disappointed in YOU.

*bangs head against wall* Thats what I really felt like doing so. LOL. I actually went for a wasted trip to my tuition kid's place. Forgotten to tell my kid what time I would reach today, so she happily thought that I was coming early in the morning. So when I reached in the evening just now, she was out. Sigh. Wasted trip, one less chance to earn $$ before I go BBK to spend it.
Did Matriculation today. Had fun interacting with the freshies. Saw a couple of friends that are going to enter uni this year. Hee. Some of the freshies actually look great! Reminds me of the time I came to SMU for matriculation too. I was then, young and full of energy, just like them. Now, uni life has become quite a drag. Sigh.

Had white paint dots splated all over my face today, while I was painting my house's celling. LOL. But quite an achievement I must say, but my pretty nail paint colours are all "disfigured" with white paint. :(
Well, sometimes I wonder why does it seem so hard for humans to communicate nowadays? A classmate had to leave me a message on Friendster asking me if I can make it to her birthday celebration. And I have to reply to her via Friendster? And, of
I wonder how would I invite my friends to my celebration when it is my birthday.
Lately, the thought of someone can make me feel that it is worth living in this world. LOL. Yeah, of course it is a HE. I thought of him just now too, when I was passing by some church near Nanyang Pri. Yah, church reminds me of him.
Okie, gonna catch a movie now. Updates tmr!

Early morning. been rather busy nowadays, with so many stuff to do. Tmr's sunday, but it is just a full day of work for me as well. Gonna go down to old home to paint the place, bright early morning and I am still here. Gonna be rather exhausted tmr I guess. With SMUve, tuitions and the re-construction of my old home, yes, I am very tired.
Supposed to meet up with dear old carolyn and gillian in the evening today. But, gillian told me that she couldn't make it. Was thinking of discussing the Bangkok trip with her, as I really have no time to spare next week. And maybe the next time I see her, will be the day we are leaving for Thailand. Sigh. And, I havent really start planning for this trip.
So, I was already exhausted with two tuition assignments in the morning and afternoon, so I decided to give this gathering with carolyn a miss. I think she is quite pissed with me, cos she didnt bother to reply to my sms. Well, sorry babe. Catch up with you when I am back yeah?
Been looking forward to 31st July when SMUve will arrive and everything will kinda be over. So, no more meetings? Well, being in SMUve certainly taught me a lot of things and it is an experience that I would certainly love to have. :)
Oh yah, new blog. Haha. Yup, been wanting to post something up since May. but, just didnt have the time and mood to do so. The links are not ready yet.
Read Man and Wife by Tony Parsons. A good read, made me teared a few times. If interested, go and read Man and Boy first. Okie, I teared while reading this book too. Was introduced to this author by Jeannette, probably a year ago. "Plead the fleeting moment to remain" - a quote from the book. Yeah, reading is my NEW hobby now. LOL.
Okie, will be back for more updates soon!
