When was the last time you had a genuine smile on your face, sth that warmed your heart and not a mere grin forced for the sake of grinning?

this morning! i pulled vera outta her yeo mua (her bed) and when i left after putting her on the bed for my mom to bath her... she cried n wanted me to carry her! wad joy. =))
(n no, bro, we can, but we don't have to wear masks all the time)

When was the last time you finally let go and cried your eyes sore, for you realise that you're a human after all?

rather frequently, im very in touch with my core!
(heh, i haven't lost the rhyme, hor?)

When was the last time you told ppl you cared about that you loved them, instead of assuming that they would understand for they are ppl who know u best?

well, increasingly to my family. almost everyday! it's getting better!

When was the last time you pulled your head out of the thick stacks of files and notes, turning around to find that ppl around you have changed while you blinded yourself with work and no play?

when i attended a wedding dinner last wed. but i do try to intersperse my life with fun!

When was the last time you stopped at the traffic light when the light turned amber, instead of dashing across the traffic in order to skip the red light?

Ooh, this one i do! at least thrice a week, i remind myself that, "hey! i'm not in a hurry, so why the rush?" i overheard this mother tell her child this years ago...and it actually made sense. we're situated a rush city, but we dont have to be part of the culture.

When was the time you took a stroll in the neighbourhood park and admire the scenery around you?

oh, my. i shall do this soon.

When was the last time you talked to your family, discussing about each others' lives in general, or even simply talking about nth in general?

this morning! we even baked egg tarts together on Thursday!

when was the last time u shared a tub of ice cream with others?

hmm. i treated my kids to ben & jerry's yest. does that count?
if strictly a tub, i shared one with my colleagues last month!

when was the last time u observed the clouds?

yesterday! i love the sky!

when was the last time i studied hard?

oh my, this is tough. i have never. okay maybe f math? for a day? haha.

when was the last time i went out with more than 1 good friend... ?

why, i had choc buffet with my programmers just last week! =)

HELLO, FRIENDS? WHERE ARE YOU!
ASK ME OUT!

cause & effect

energy is only transferable, as we've all learnt in secondary physics.
what you put out will come back to you, whether or not it is in the same form.

romantic love is a really strange intangible thing. it can transform someone, it can overwhelm someone, and it can become so magnified an emotion that many people see it as their life.

ive been in and out of relationships almost as many times as ive said i'll turn straight. but time and time again i fall for the game, letting my soul soak up the wondrous emotion that allows me to forget all the heartaches and heartbreaks that made me swear to open my eyes before giving my heart.

and i keep telling myself that hey, it's just that i haven't met the right one.

so the right one came along...and life is a bed of roses. love became this armour and this aura that transformed all the negative energy near me positive. i was beaming so bright the sun rays felt ashamed.

energy cannot be destroyed.

i've never identified with this saying better - that you cannot force someone to love you, you can only make yourself worth loving.

"this feeling will last forever"

my dear friend, dinah.

i started talking to dinah again.

i dont know why, but everytime i speak to her, she's unhappy. and i really feel for her, like noone else would.

she got married two years ago, committing her life to this guy whom her family quarrelled with. maybe she was young, maybe she was hopeful. she thought she could influence him, like how i used to believe love is so great. but hey, look. it's not like that. you dont step into a r/s wanting the other party will change. even if i am the one who's in need of a change and i acknowledge that need, you're not in love with me. you're in love with who i can be, but may never be. i didn't tell her this, but dinah, you have so much you want him to change..yet you say you love him and he's still the guy you want. wad is it exactly you see in him? i really don't understand. and now, two years later, you realise youve been naive and you're tired. and you want a divorce. is it too late?

if i had posted this about another friend two years ago and you had read it, will you reconsider your decision to marry him?

she has fallen in love some half a year ago with someone. head over heels. and cliche as it may sound, their love was like a fairtytale. until yesterday when i spoke to her again, we both realised that it still is. except her love's the prince charming and she, the wicked witch. it's not mutual, the love. she was disillusioned that her love found their relationship a nightmare. but being the hopeful that he is, he wants to turn the nightmare into a sweet dream.

so i went for a haircut yesterday...and it took five hours. lerrick text me and our conversation went:

lr: let's come out.
me: yea, let's! i need a life! my life's just work and partner and it has settled so comfortably that when i have to wait cos she's busy, i just wait.
lr: don't complain.. im sure she waits sometimes too!
me: im not grumbling..which is what's scary. i dont want to feel like an old satisfied woman w/o friends at 23!

well i thought life was sweet.

my molar

so the toothache that kept me awake for a few hours is gone...
along with a few hundred bucks from my account.

i saw a dentist who is well-worth my fees this morning. he simply but beautifully illustrated my dental situation on a small piece of rough paper. i was more gaping at his drawing than the extent of my condition (bro, u can go be a dentist too, with ur artistic skills!). so my 1st lower right molar needs a root canal which i had this afternoon. for a mo i made a mental note to possibly take classes to be dentist when i am rich enough cos it feels like fun! talkin to all sorts of people.

but when the minor surgery was taking place, i decided to myself that his income probably compensated for the fountains of blood and saliva that spurt past my face and onto his faces when he started drilling holes in my tooth. and also the one hour and forty-five minutes he spent looking down my throat. so no way, i'll settle for my current job and compensation for the moment.

now for lighter stuff...

Actual(!) Analogies and Metaphors Found in High School Essays

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two
freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

28. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.

karen, beware! look out for such amusing lines and make my day okay? =)

a real update!

it was two gatherings with a bunch of fabulous friends in a row.

ever of national day at bungalow
so the cold soup was bad
and the dessert was a cheat.
but the seafood baked rice was great
and even better was the company!
made up of ever dearest ms li, mr fi, mr and ms lim.
the friends that make u feel like theyve never left ur side before.
and to top it all off, the partner who is well-liked by these fabulous friends.

we went to grapevine after and had a good catch up n a plan for the next gathering...

retro potluck party at sheen's
i cheated. i saw a picture of a potentially popular and easy to make dessert somewhere
and decided to make that at sheen's. and it turned out quite a success!
and if u wanna find out wad it is,
it'll be served at your barbecue anyway so do turn up.
and btw, you gotta wear a scarf there.

the potluck was a sucess...
the beautiful place
the sweetest company
and the glorious food!
(please bug karen for the pics)

u know the times u spend in school lamenting abt everything possible
with the sweetest company who seemed to share every same molecule of thought?
u think ud lose them once u leave school.
but i dont. the friendships just remain the same
and theres more to life than just the people u see at work.
a big part n another dimension to my life is the paths my friends take
and hey...we kinda end up on the same road. =)

no adjectives can describe how much i appreciate my friends
and the joy and comfort i feel when im with people who connect on a different level..

im already looking forward to the slumber party. =)

im still a people person!

You're likely to find fame and fortune in the Social World


What's Your Fame and Fortune?

Brought to you by Tickle

but dont u find that the picture looks awfully like pretty me with two of my students? haha.

an update!

dear friends!!

UPCOMING EVENT!!
i'm having a barbecue to celebrate you!

date : sunday, 19 august
venue : east coast park, pit c27
time : from 6pm
note : food is provided, rsvp is necessary if u want food!

remember,
it's YOUR barbecue!

i just wanna give thanks and see all my favourite people gathered in one place! u who bother to read my blog are definitely one.

thick skinned.

as i am typing this post with my right hand, i am trying to feel if the outtermost layer of my face is peeling off. no, i did not go into the sun! i used to have oily skin in secondary school. now, i have such dry skin that two nights in an air-con/ed room has had my face peeling layers for almost two weeks now! okay, just one. i know i like to exaggerate abit. anw, as usual, i am being hurried away from the keyboard to watch some movie. well, no choice, too bad for me. next time then!

a part of my simple life!

let me tell u why im so happy everyday...

cos i have a voodoo leo who wears my hairclip keeping watch on the driver everyday...


and the driver feeds him with classical music, which he enjoys. even though he's getting sick of the constantly replaying track, cannon d.


and when i get to sit in the car, i see nice blue skies and lines of green...


and a very handsome face.


and when i try to take secret pictures of myself when my chauffeur's driving, i see another smile directed at the camera and get a surprise.


and when i successfully take a single shot of myself and ask,
"is this the picture you see everyday?"
the driver answers, "yes".
"you must be very happy then."
the driver replies, "of course",
even when my lips are pale and dry.


dont you want to live this part of my happy life? i do.

things i shouldnt have done..

never play with a half-toddler in ur pencil skirt
i thought it was exciting that vera followed me everywhere i went in her little walker..
to my room n then waiting patiently outside while i packed my bag;
to the living room where i switched off the tv;
to the bathroom while i put on my makeup.
and all these while she chews (with her gums) on a saucer my mother gave her.

but she had to drop the saucer while i was at the last step of making up
and she had to whine non-stop... when she usually just does her puppy-eyes trick.
so my low tolerance for whining tugged at me to put down my moisturiser n just bend over, pick up the saucer, rinse it n pass it to her. sounds easy. put down my moisturiser... check. bend over... krrrrrrrrrrrk. oh. my gawd. i forgot i was wearing the if-u-must-bend-over-u-had-better-squat-with-ur-knees-together-then-bend- at-a-certain-angle-skirt. which meant that tearing noise must have come from my skirt. freeze. look down. eh? no damage done. so i wore a skirt with a large tear in the inner petticoat to work yesterday.

never write a post halfway
i had two things i shouldnt have done to blog about... until i clicked on "save as draft" and left it at that. ugh.

---

anw. i just received news form the horse's mouth that it's galloping off to a greener pasture. that it's leaving a whatever-u-call-a-baby-horse to fend for its own. oh gosh. i think the baby can cope, but heyy. it's a pillar of advice going away! it just never occurred to me. a week before confirmation. and yes, it's three months already.

---

and i remember the second (now third) thing i shouldnt have done!

never step on anyone's tail, for you won't know if it belongs to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow
okay, not literally. not even remotely metaphorical. just barely associated with this phrase. i cant believe it is happening. the seeds of poisonous um, pongpong i've planted yesterday have become a friend's plant. and i thought id never see it again.

it's frighteningly coincidental. or maybe there are just too few people who are brave enough to face what they really want. or if you insist on putting it your way, maybe there are just a handful of people who havent grown out of their sexuality cos it's a matter of time, to you.

horrible temper.

i have an absolutely horrible temper.
that will be gone really soon. really.

but i have an extremely understanding byby who understands me. or pretends to take it all well. haha. let me publicise my horrible temper so that i will remember to get rid of it. to think before i act. or talk.

but right now my byby's hp is off. and im worried sick. and i dont know what else to do except blog n whine. n wait.

and i have nothing to blog about except my concern. helppp.

poomsae competition

so byby's hard work has paid off!
=) 14/15 awarded little ones.

it was an early, reluctant rise from sleep. i didnt know what to expect n i didnt feel much. but i was bugging myself to call sir -- and wad a great idea! i bought 20 cups of coffee n 1 latte from macs, to go with a sausage egg mcmuffin. at least i did something. but of cos, i didnt buy it. cos it was drizzling and being treated very much like a princess, all i had to do was wait in the car.

as we entered the sports hall, i went straight to deliver food. and it wasnt until the competition really started n i started interacting with the competitors that i really got the butterflies. i felt like i was going to compete! wad with the adorable favourite sticking to me for a good while =). and of cos, after some settling down n some fussing around, i rose better to the occasion.

but really, the highlight of this event was a touching moment. when the students shyly requested to take pictures with their ma'am. holding their trophies. at that moment, i was deeply touched. and i hoped that one day, my students will come back to me, showing some sign that i have touched their lives in one way or another. like how nicholas and rachel walks with me to check my classroom, like how the students of two certain classes always waves enthusiastically to me when they see me, even when it's thru a tiny window framed by the door.

on the journey home, i heard a parent say that her child was so hardworking and so passionate about the sport, but lacks a similar interest in her studies. at that very moment, i felt like making her my student and instilling in her the interest to learn. maybe not to mug, cos i dont like mugging myself, but just an interest, just the knowledge that she can do well if she wants to. because everyone can. and i know i am able to build that confidence in her. and maybe, teaching is just what ive wanted to do all my life.

so by the laws of attraction, i'll be doing just that really soon, eh?

indeed, denise showed me my schedule. eight classes. and im torn. developing curriculum or teaching? it's an either or. and there are so many factors to consider. i need to think this through.

the longest 3hours

this should have been done earlier -- changing my bulky monitor n cpu away. my room looks so much neater i feel i was living a dustmite's life. i can now safely open my windows (okay i cant yet, not before i shift the speakers) n inhale fresh air. not that my room smells anything less than nice.

cleaning up is therapeutic. i dumped four huge plastic bags of stuff away and i anticipate more to go. i just need to bring in that stool and reach my ceiling-high cabinets to clear the stuffed toy section.

i got this lovely from the IT fair-

after byby pasted the wrap for me...


and then the many many nice 3d stickers...


but i've yet to load anything into it. meaning, i havent heard it. =\

i am so so rambling but time is passing so slowly i cant concentrate on anything! byby's due back in another 2h 15min but it feels like forever. n people seem to be going for butch hunt today -- tell me how it goes!

i just applied for my gstoffset. have you? deadline's 25 june for online application. ud better do so!

okay back to packing...

its possible!

hallo!! to leona n all!

i'm alive!
but... it's actually possible to forget how to blog. haha.

like i just told zs, i finally got down to shifting the 4 cpus outta my room and into the storeroom. and that is how this laptop got shifted to my room for my use. i should get down to buying my own real quick.

anyway, it's good to be online again! i feel different. haha.

so wads been happening, you ask.

ive been working and it's really nice! i get to feel abit more in control of my own life.

im terribly burnt. the face. my skin's peeling really badly, revealing raw skin. raw. skin. yes. and it's smarting so badly i messaged my manager to say im not working tomorrow. it hurts!! and i look horrid.

im so random. but i miss her! already. come back sharp and remember to call me, you!

rahhh. i'll get back the normal blogging style soon. i hope.

please bear with me.

and leona, u owe me something! dont make me ask! ;)

watching the clouds go by...

"look at the sunset... the clouds look as if they're on fire."

one simple line, many implications.

heart-wrenching melodrama, interesting presentation.

what else did u expect from his script? ben was absolutely right... the script was amazing. the presentation was... a school production. but good enough, among the pool of resources.

escapism? presentation? confrontation? what do theatre students want to achieve in presenting their own scripts on stage, acting out others', and watching any?

what do you want?

gibberish + photos

sooo. some informal writing samples of mine were requested this morning. which means i have to dig out some of my blog posts! i honestly have no idea which posts to choose n print. really. and while blogging, i dont correct my grammar much. headache!


anyway for those who have been nagging at me cos they cant scroll down -- at least not with their IE browser -- ive become less elitist. ive changed my blogskin! but im gonna change away the header banner soon.


and heyy. its yvette's birthday celebration today. happy birthday and a great year ahead girl! -- doubt ull be reading this though.



and okay here are some picturesss!
(open ur eyes cos the love of my life's gonna be featured!)

bliss is the world
when the skies are always blue
and the clouds look absolutely beautiful
everytime im with you.

the weekend felt like a getaway in heaven. to see your same old brand new car with you, to hang out with the people you see day in day out, to just be within ten metres away from you. im gonna have to upload pictures tomorrow. maybe i'll go to school.

every moment's a fairytale... im in love with you.

i dreamt u into life.

im living a dream...

not for a moment has the beautiful face that i love morphed into something less deserving.
not for a moment has the beautiful person beneath that face shown a hint of something uglier.
not for a moment has the magic of our fairytale been broken to reveal a witch's touch.

and i don't remember ever feeling this before. despite the impending pressure and the inacceptance from various sources, ive never been more certain that this is what i want. that the root of all their problems cannot be removed by escaping into their fantasy of what my world should be like. that my original hope to unveil the reality of my world onto their facade for mine gently has been revived and here i am again at the beginning of that journey... to slowly unleash the magic of my utopia by proving myself worthy of my own decisions.

the best part of this realisation? the source of my magic is the very support for its fulfilment.

if ure reading.

i think it's gross

i think it's really gross that you should be mad at me just because you forgot about it. that i mentioned to you that he had a problem giving twice the amount but promised the same stuff. i'm so glad you taught me how to cover my own ass. cos if i didn't have that email, i'll have a blackmark i can't wash away. well, it's not like ure not mad at me anymore, but at least ure mad that u have no hold against me on this count. and its really really ur own fault.

life skills that are important when u step into the working world - i'll write an entire post on it soon. at least before this nus term ends. i promise. for all the friends i love who are graduating soon. cos noone taught me.
