"window shopping" down town

Hang around with mom and godbro in town today.
today is a rest day for me, therefore, dont wanna waste it at home.

we plan to window shop at first...

yeah, at first.... ^_^


but well, when we reached there, the most attractive 4 letter words are every where~~~

"SALE" ~ "SALE" ~ "SALE" ~ "SALE" ~ "SALE"~

hoho!!!

and poor godbro, haha! he turned into our carrier-man... =p

as we walk down the street, i was approached by model agents, again...

there are abundance of pretty and tall girls out there, why choose me? a shorty.. haha! think they just wanna cheat me into signing up for their training courses ba... luckily mom was there to reject them for me~ =)

anyway, i bought a green cowboy straw hat from mango, a skirt, and 2 tops.
mom bought a pair of shoes from pretty fit, and 2 shawl.
3 lipstick from shu uemura
we choose 2 nice tops for godbro too. ^_^

although we spend quite an amount, i still feel happy with our "trophies" today~ hoho!


i will wear my new hat back to taiwan!

CHIJ Family Carnival

Woops! Haha! I am really blur
The carnival is on 28th!
I mistaken 28th as Sunday, some of my friends said that they are coming over on Sunday..
Haiz… Too bad... now they cant make it.. most of them got to work on sat..
And I got to postpone Saturday’s shopping activity with Rachel too. =(

But the day goes well for me still. My god-bro comes over. He is the only one who can make it in the end. At least I got a good camera man to take photos for me haha!

The day is soooooo hot! I can feel my sweat tickling down my back!
And my jeans is sticking to my skin due to sweating… feels heavy and tight.
Argh… I am melting!!!! And the umbrella cant really provide much shade, but at least it is better than none.

It was compulsory for teachers to buy at least $100 of coupons. Hence, i tried very hard to use up all the coupons. i treat my student and parent helpers food, tibits, and drinks. then went to play at the game stall with god-bro.
hehe! and i earn 19 game tokens. Used 16 tokens and exchange for a green monkey..
hmm, what else?... oh yeah, towards the end of the day, i even give the coupons to my student, and tell them to spend it for me. Then i spend the rest of the money on buying many balloons, $2 each. Then i give away my balloons to students whoever pass by for freeeeeeee


嘻嘻!看着她们惊讶而欢喜的表情!心情真好~
to be able to bring joy to others is such an enjoyment ^.^


Such a hot day! But it is perfect for photo taking! Most of the photos are clear and colourful! Except a few that are really “shaken”

Hoho! Cant wait to send my photos for my friends and dear grandparents and dad to see~

Such a wonderful day~

Such a wonderful day!~~

Star Wars Craze

everyone is crazy about star wars these days

but unfortunately, it died in the end... =(

anyway, i still prefer Lord of the Rings



A very funny clip, laugh till death =D

HOD told me that there will be a group of master teachers from china coming to visit our school next thursday.... and they will observe our lessons too... the whole group of them, along with a deputy from Ministory of Education will be sitting at the back of the class, and will stay throughout the whole lesson!!! faint~~

Gee!! why at this point of time???

there are so many things to do already.... we have to pack up our things to get ready to move into new school premise, and have to key in students' marks into the school cockpit, and the school carnival is coming up next week too!! We have to set up the stores to sell things, and also to attend extra courses!!!



so many things already, yet the principal still wanna invite them....
heard that the some schools had turn them down...
why our principal is not as kind and sympathetic to teachers....

she think that we havent work enough is it? =(



shivering in fear... cant believe this unwelcoming news
they going to observe me:
= lesson plan + power point + designing and making of teaching materials
= endless work
= no rest during weekends
= comment and feedback from principal and visitors



i can imagine the situation for next thursday already...

(should be like this)

sigh.....

i will not waste my food again





saw this email that my friend fwd to me....
this pic really shocked me...
and i suddenly realized how fortunate we are
and how discontented and greedy i am to always wanting for more luxurious material enjoyment and superficial reputation and lifestyle..
i will not waste or complain about my food again...
let's say a prayer for the suffering in anywhere anyplace around the globe...




kevin Carter was the photographer who took this picture.

This was found in his diary:
Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we are and that we must never ever take things for granted.

Red

Saw a MTV last night, "Susan Said" by David Tao.
and i like the costume and the feeling projected by the mtv..
it is like telling a story, little by little, piece by piece

I like the reddish maroon that the story character wears. the colour contrust is bold and striking. give me a deep impression..



then i had this strange dream last night. i dream i was an assassin of ancient china.
"赤(Red)" is my name, carrying a long curve blade (弯月刀) , and lead an force of elite assassins.

tried drawing it out..
hmm, this is so far the best one after a few attempt.
how many marks will you give out of 10? =p

Friday 13th

十三号星期五。

又到了这个危险的日子。

这个不吉利的日子,曾经被我期待着。苦笑。

曾约定过,每年的这天是我们大冒险的日子。但始终只是个幻象。如香槟泡沫般,诱人而飘渺。
不该想,反正也没什么好想的。活在过去是懦弱的行为。何必为了一个品格低劣的人而坏了心情?




今天约了个朋友吃晚餐。感觉挺奇特的,我们就像介于陌生人和朋友之间,
哈,算是熟悉的陌生人吧~

人蛮好的,脾气很好(至少没责备我害他等那么久 =p),健谈开朗,有时还蛮细心的呢,茶喝完了,总记得添茶。还问我到家了没。Hoho! 怎么突然感觉好像变成需要人照顾的小孩了~

挺高兴能认识这位朋友的。希望真的有一天可去试试wakeboarding,体验“水上飘”的感觉。 ^_^

Oversea Call from a friend

received a surprise oversea call from a taiwanese friend.

it is really a surprise, never expect such a call before

but haha! it feels kinda good to get such oversea call from friend other than family.

he was surprised that i never call up my taiwanese friends b4... come to think of it...
yeah hor... my 2 best frineds in taiwan, i never call them up. only contact them when i went back. 挺绝情的~
Maybe i shall give them a call someday! haha! i can imagine the stunned look on their face! hoho!

Aching body, Contented heart

Aching all over now….
Arm pain, leg pain, even buttock also pain..
Long time never exercise le, hoho! body getting rusty.


Yesterday was still feeling ok..
Today is becoming worse. And I am a few shades darker le…. Arrrrgh!


However, it was fun despite all this. There were 11 of us playing paintball.
We each were given a gun (never hold a gun b4, that is the first time, and it was heavy… -_- ), wear a vest, and put on the mask to protect the face. And we each were given 2 magazine too. After dividing ourselves into 2 groups, the “warfare” begins!


I was very clumsy, and was shot many many times.
Those pple who got shot, will have to hold their gun high up in the surrender position, and run all the way back to the home base to “resurrect” again.
Haha! And I think I spent most of the time doing that… running to and fro, in and out of home base, guess that’s why my arms are more painful then my legs now. =p


And the paint ball should be called “pain ball”~ cos it was kinda painful when we get shot if we didn't wear any protective clothings.
Once, I was too engrossed in the war to realize that my arm "ate" a bullet. Till there is a hot and needle like feeling on my arm, then I realized I got a bad bruise, and slight bleeding. I think the bullet just brush past my arm’s skin, cant imagine what if it was a solid, full impact shot… @o@
Luckily, some other hit parts only suffer from slight bruise, thanks to my old clothes.

My friends too, most of them suffer a bruise here and there. But miraclly, 2 of my friends didn't have any blue-black at all. And they are wearing sleeveless and shorts….

Hoho! Next time, if I going to play again, I will surely wear long sleeves and long pants.
Erm, but on the second thought, I think I will faint from the heat if I wear like that…

They are quite nice pple. Though we don't really know each other very well, but i still enjoy the day very much~



errr..... Looking at my bruise now…, it is getting more disgusting..
Yesterday was only red in colour, now there is a mixture of red, black, purple, brown and green.


Hope it will disappear soon.

Busy week

Another week almost pass..
It has been a busy week for me. Full of exciting activities.


Went to the PAP women’s party lounge with Maple on tue night. Or should said that she dragged me there? =p
I don't even know much politics at all, especially Singapore politics…
Was kind of worried, donno whether I can join in the conversation, or answer the political questions..
But it turned out not as boring as I thought. Though there are still pple who ask me to comment on the Taiwan Singapore relationship, and the LP incident… -_-!!
The fun part was when we were sabotaged by the host to start the dance in front of the stage. The music was on, and the lighting was right, just that nobody is moving. Everyone just stood there like statues. It was fun to see more pple joining in, and the atmosphere was pretty high~
We also met a cute guy there, Kelvin. Hmm, another Kelvin~ =p
Think Maple and him can be an item, they quite suit each other~ haha!




Wed
Was suppose to meet a friend after school... but was too tired, and have to catch up with my markings… so fly him airplane le…. =p
Gomenasai~




Thurs
Always wish to fake sick, and get mc, and rest at home for a day… but never actually proceed on with my slacking plot.
the thoughts hit on me again on wed night… to make this thur my personal rest day. Hoho!
But when I wake up in the morning, I really didn't feel well le. Headache with abdomen pain…. Sigh… and I really went to see the doc with my real sickness.. =(
The doc give me some painkillers, and I revived again when the pills start having effect~ haha!

Went to see the “Lord of the Dance” at kallang theater at night. It was a great performance! Can even feel the floor shaking~
There is a part when the dancers ask us to clap at a certain tempo, and they started tapping to the beat! Just the clapping of the hands, and the sound of feet tapping on the floor~ such a incredible interaction~
me wanna learn tap dance!!




I am going to play paintball with a group of friends later. Never tried such a game before~ hehe! Cant wait for the time to pass..
Suddenly, I feel the clock tick on so slowly…
2am now, better force myself to get some sleep =)
