Girl: "Miss Chew, why are you so tall?"
Me: You'll probably be as tall next time.
Teacher: You must forgive and forget.
Boy: He didn't forget, but I asked him to forgive.

Am suddenly in this crazy mood whereby I feel I have to settle and achieve as much as possible within a short time. A short time having no definition at this point of time.
I also wonder why certain people can just stare at you or right through you when you are smiling and trying to be friendly. Makes one feel like one is smiling to one of the zombies in Invasion.
Well... Anyway I am not relying on these people for a living. So long as I stay focus on what I ought to do, they can jolly well be non-existent in my world too :DLabels: Crazy Mood, Movies

It's such a weird day at Vivocity yesterday. I actually saw 2 of my sec sch friends (separately) together with their other halves at Vivocity! How often does this happen? The great news was 1 would be getting married next year! Congrats~~ It was somewhat a surprise though since I didn't hear about it when we had a conversation on msn about 2 weeks ago.
Glad that she's decided to settle down :D
Fortunately I have more than enough time to decide what to get her as well as try to plan for a gathering to celebrate the start of her life as someone's wife!!Labels: Coincidence, Friends, Marriage

Pulchritudinous
- Characterized by or having great physical beauty and appeal.
Came upon the above word by chance when I was browsing through the books in the primary school library. Out of curiosity, I popped by the library to have a look at what sort of books primary school kids read these days (apart from the volumes of harry potter books which fyi, are not part of the library collection ;P).
They don't seem to have a proper plan laid out for me yet, which further makes me feel unsettled, like I'm some temp working in some company. It seems like I've entered at the wrong time. It's already their exams next month, following which not long later would be the holidays.
Not that I'm that well- prepared to start lessons proper too "@_@.Labels: Books, Plans, Work

After only 2 days of course, I'm so drained. Maybe it's due to the endless laughter during these 2 days (like real..). Or maybe I'm going to be down with a cold soon. Throat hurts :(. Feel so irritated with everything. Loud noises from the TV, wind blowing from the fan directly even when it's a rainy day (never can understand why people around me, related or unrelated are so addicted to wind from the fan even when the weather isn't hot).
A zillion things to prepare and do.
And to think school hasn't exactly started yet for me!
I can't really pinpoint what I am pissed about. It's always the case actually. It's probably just mood swings (horrifically violent ones...swinging like from heaven to hell and back again) or a very bad case of pms. Thought it was pms 2 weeks ago but apparently not, since my "bloody friend" hasn't arrived yet. You get what I mean.Labels: humour, Inspirational, Mood Swings

I caught myself before I used the word "teacher" to refer to this nice old man who's our err.. teacher for the course these 2 days. Somehow it didn't sound right. It's like being transported back to the good old juvenile days of a simple life.
He was super entertaining. Almost every sentence of his would result in us bursting out in laughter due to his animated ways of putting a message (or sms, like what he said...) across. Yet it was all laughter and nothingness. He was realistic as well. Realistic as he wanted us to know what to expect. Too realistic in fact. Might be a good thing, might be bad, depending on how much one wants to live in the fantasy world. At least I've done my share of presenting today. So tomorrow I can sit back and not worry about that tomorrow.
I'm like trying to psycho myself about stuff today. Psycho psycho... Was told by someone that humans must learn how to psycho oneself. That is not to say that one can believe in all sorts of shit and live happily ever after though. But I knew I wasn't the only one.
Lots of reservations. Loads of apprehension.
Feel that I'm going to get a sore throat tomorrow :( Must have been all the lime and black pepper flavoured potato chips I have eaten yesterday. Hey they were good ok? Good for people who like sour stuff. It might sound like a strange combination.. lime and black pepper flavoured chips but really, finger-licking good stuff ok? Very expensive though. Can only buy from Candy empire.Labels: Junkfood, Thought- provoking, Transition

2 days in a row. I seem to be prone to watching movies that involve both humourous and touching moments, as if my feelings aren't already mixed up like rojak. But I must say comedies are good. They can help a person relax and walk away feeling more lighthearted. I remember going to the movies by myself during the exam periods in the past, after which I would feel more refreshed for the next round of mugging. Those were the days and I'll be playing the opposite role soon.
Currently I have a task on hand but being thrown suddenly into the deep waters has made me ponder about the possibilities of gaining inspiration from stuff in my current daily life. Sometimes an idea might be seemingly great just for that 5 min but in the next 5, I would have 2nd thoughts. I really do need concrete practical plans... ''-_-
Too many things are happening too abruptly that I got to adapt fast. Such is life for many people these days too isn't it? Adapting quickly... adjusting to changes in aspects of life... All the best to those of u who are making major transitions too :DLabels: Transition

I'm still busy uploading photos from the U.S. trip night after night but could only upload that many each time as it takes a long time just to upload 1. Being only halfway through by this time, I sure hope that everything would be up by the end of this week.
After 1 month of work, I'm finally a free person again but not for long. 5 days. That's all I have to pack my room, meet up with friends, catch up on my reading, upload photos, catch up on sleep, do some necessary shopping for a special occasion, as well as get some decent clothes suitable for use at a pri school.
:( I need more time... Time is definitely of the essence but I don't want to rush through and ta-da! Work starts once more and maybe forever.
I've learnt quite alot on the job. The initial apprehension and worry of not being able to master stuff which I've never done before, disappeared after some time and before I knew it, it's time to leave. Looking on the bright side, I've made new friends. I'm waiting for my salary for 1 and a half jobs... and Sammi's concert will be coming soon in Oct! :D
Nevertheless, I'm faced with uncertainties with regards to a certain important aspect of my life. It's going to be a major part of my life and yet, I find myself feeling unstable. No not exactly emotional, but just the thought of having to adapt is giving me a headache.Labels: Exhaustion, Holiday, Work

The day finally arrived. Aaron's concert after 5 years, not that I've been to his past concerts... or any others' past concerts... But I expected something more after all the hype. My role was actually just the companion of the boyfriend but this being my 2nd time watching a performance at the indoor stadium (first was the circus when I was little..), I was keeping a super open mind like I have always had for first tries for anything.
The concert lasted only for 2 and a 1/2 hours instead of the reported 3 hours. Even then he spent much time trying to blow the saxaphone w/o much success. He tried and tried. For like 5 times? Blowing the same tune over and over again until I was yawning away in my seat. There was no encore too, just a hand waving from the bottom of a hole in the stage to appease the crowd and which I suspected didn't even belong to him at all.
The only redeeming parts were those in which he was singing those more popular sentimental ballads and the dances for the better known adrenaline-pumping songs. Even for the theme song for Para Para Sakura, he was shaking hands at the bottom of the stage with over- enthusiastic female fans who were thrilled to tears and who were jumping for joy as shown on the screens. It's disappointing that he didn't even attempt to dance for that song. Hello? Even if I were to sit in a KTV room to watch his MTV, I would have got the chance to see him dance. Didn't even sing the last song, just bowing at the initial part of the song while the song was played and then he left for the backstage. End of concert.
Not worth watching at all. *Shakes head*. He was singing mostly cantonese songs and spoke in Cantonese all the time. ''-_- Luckily I had a personal interpreter hahha...
A surprised me with a pair of tickets to Sammi's concert. I really really hope hers would be much much better.Labels: Aaron Kwok, entertainment
