the greatest love of all...

omg..kei has given birth last week! congrats mama kei! had added her in her bliss bloggy under my links .. can check out her bb's pics! nice name..little mandy. heh..

lemme grab my fave pic of mandy..no copyrights i hope.

kawaiiiiiiiiiii!

must read her " birth story" post.. felt so touched by the arduous process she went through and can't imagine the immense pain..so much pain that she was just numbed to it already. omg.

shan was put off by the post and said she's not ever going to give birth.. okie..let's use this post as evidence and keep our fingers crossed ah.. hehe ;P

for me, i think babies are too cute.. if i ever get the chance, i'll definitely want kids.. just to pinch them, smell them(i'm addicted to the bb powder smell), dress them up like those cool babies in baby oshkosh and guess ads...haha. let's not talk about when they become older...

sighz..come to think of it, just piercing my ears, injections (or looking at people taking injections... -_-ll) can make me faint lor..till now, i still dunno if it's psychological or what..coz i'm not really scared but somehow i will feel faint. can't imagine the number of jabs i'd have to go through. kowaii!! but good also i guess, i'll just sleep through the jabs.

reduce happiness to the simplest form

As I sat looking across the stretch of sea separating the mall and sentosa, my mind was busy admiring the illuminated shore opposite, fingers busy setting up the tripod to the correct angle and happily triggering.

But the next day, what sent me to a state of ecstacy the night before had vaporised..I felt horrible and upset.
Many such bouts of extreme happiness and moodiness had came and left.

It suddenly gripped me that perhaps I wasn't happy afterall. yup.. I used the word "gripped" coz it's really scary. I had lived my weeks thinking I had moved on and believing I was happy. My friends run the risk of finding out that it wasn't the real me they're seeing.
Everyone asked if I'm excited about my jap trip.. I had to actually pause and think for 3 seconds before squeezing out "..okay lor". never thought that defining happiness was one of my weakness.
mochi says: but for now...I want to scream!! everyone... run!!

vlv0 t0ur and "photoshoot" with a 15cm tall tripod

Visited Vivo for the 1st time yesterday and i concluded the wh0le w0rld must have been in vivocity.

first, saw tanana in pull and bear.
~question: is it pronounced as "pull" as in push or pull, or pronounced as "pall". i think it's pall and bear but for whatever reason it's spelt as "pull".

then saw my bro after the movie.. i'm sure there were more friends somewhere in the mall. ya..but i wasn't that impressed with the mall la. it didn't seem that big as what the ads kept regurgitating. the restaurants weren't that fantastic as well. alot of weird names which i've never heard before.

tried "superdogs" but their hotdogs were alright only. and quite ex lor for fast food. i'm perfectly fine with the ikea hotdogs..yummy. more mustard!

watched "happy feet". was not bad..the little punky penguins were the cutest! their accent was so hilarious. one minus point was that the cinema seats were too upright which makes them uncomfortable for movie watching. should slouch more like those in cathay ma.

thought the best part of the day was doing a photo shoot at the balcony of the mall. brought along my tiny weeny tripod that came free with my old cam and amazingly it could actually fit my digi cam. thanks to it that i managed to take such pretty night shots.

those blurry pics are taken by junyi san... he really gotta stop drinking kohii. hands too shaky..haha.

yup..since i mentioned pull and bear... i love their clothes! therefoRE, it's impossiboru i'll walk out empty handed.. heh...

i like this starry top! nice and most importantly, it's loong..

contemplated dam long whether to get this hoodified top..really like it alot coz of it's length..very unique.. decided to get it on the valid excuse to prepare for the cold weather in Nihon.^_^v

sympathy FOC.

a boy came knocking at my door at about 10 plus selling those potong ice-cream. you know those traditional red bean sticks ice-cream? didn't want to buy initially but gave in when he said he got 4 siblings at home and he's selling ice-cream to help with family expenses...
urghz.

see him quite poor thing coz he was perspiring like mad and he sounded quite ernest. bought some from him and he urged me to put them into the fridge fast coz they were ALL melting.. to be exact, they already melted. so melted that i couldn't even tell the shape liao..

hope he wasn't abusing my empathy.hrmph.

bonsai banzai

my okasan has recently befriended a 'botanist" at her workplace. so she has been bringing home all kinds of plants and kept bugging my otosan to buy soil and more pots to plant them.


yup. so my otosan was just nagging about it, saying that he's not so free to upkeep a garden unless he's retired and got nothing better to do.

come to think of it. it's true lor. when i walk to the MRT, i'll pass by this flat unit at the ground floor and i see this ah pek snipping the leaves of bonsai and keeping a little orchard consisting of sunflowers, papaya trees, promegranate plant and a small banana tree. being enthuz about plants myself, i once tried to snap a few pics using my handphone cam until i caught sight of the ah pek looking at me suspiciously.
anyway, some pics of the recent additions to my corridor garden.. okie.. they don't look like anything.. yet. i can't tell what species they are and they better be nice lor after all the effort.

oh. and check out my precious cactus which has grown quite a bit except it has been growing a bit in the wrong direction. ya..so that explains the chopsticks and rifle..

The blind leading the blind - zul

Change of P1 and P2 syllabus! yeah!
change textbook! reset worksheets!
reset spelling list! reset test papers!
reset....everything! wow!
put an untrained contract sensei in charge! wow!
this new guinea's partner ( a super good and experienced teacher) last day was last friday! leaving all the work to the guinea!
then came along this experienced but new to the school teacher whose 1st day was just 2 days ago.
The old guinea gotta assign work and "teach" this new guinea!

This old guinea is blur and tired now.

what an irony.. thought i'll have all the time in the world once school closes for holidays. like real lor. haven't had time to blog at all except post a few lyrics and pics here and there.

i spend even more time in school now.. from 9 to 5 or 6pm.. wait. before you aim your eggs at me, on normal school days, we're officially off at 1.30pm. of coz we stay back most of the time to do marking and CCA, other stuff. Now, I face the comp the whole day, preparing stuff for 2007. yess. my eyes are dying. have even stopped wearing my contacts to school.

on top of that, I'm also in charge of Civics and Moral Education Program, more commonly known as <好公民>...which seemed eons ago. yup..according to miss serin gabrielle lee aka maria, i'm in charge of something EONS ago.. so rude hor..I think I need to give her some lessons on CME! grrr.

sorry, I'm so pre-occupied in the day with school work that I can't seem to get it off my mind..even when i'm blogging lor. bad. bad. this is bad! holidays! where are u!

休み たい ね.. お休みなさい!(-_-)zzzzZzZzzz

mochi says: tomorrow's the day for release of PSLE results. hah. wonder if another scholar will emerge from my school!

Jason Mraz - I'm yours ~sing along ~

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love

listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, i'm yours

*scat*

I've been spendin' way too long checkin' my tongue in the mirror
and bendin' over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a sayin'is there ain't no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, i'm sure
(there's no need to complicate
our time is short
it cannot wait, i'm yours 2x
no please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, im yours.

no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)
well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la one big family
it's your god forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved
open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la happy family
it's our god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved
listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...

Step up

caught the movie "step up" over the weekend with lehlio buddy. it was surprisingly good entertainment despite the bad reviews. very funny show and of coz not to mention there's hot Channing Tatum to gush about. ^_^ Jenna Dewan was good too.. half the time I was in awe at how good she looked in those nice stylo dance costumes.

Another plus thing on saturday was that I got to drink my Ultimate Hazelnut Frap in TCC! love it..ate potato wedges with cheese dip.. i was complaining to lehlio buddy how the swimming I did in the morning had just gone down the drain.. canal.. long kang.

talking about swimming. yes. not used to sleeping much nowadays so ended up fetching my mum to work at 7am..and went swimming at 8am. omg! amazing feat natsuri san. concluded that saturday morning is lousy for swimming..no matter how early (well, I thought I was early enough to avoid the crowd) packed with pyjamas-fied kiddos. urgh.

splurge of the week. again!! i gotta stop. a dress for my school's annual dinner. not very ex but it's spendthrift enough for a person preparing to go for a trip. I can't help it. can someone help me? been psychoing myself that I can wear the dress for chinese new year as well. so i'm NOT going to buy any new clothes for CNY.

you better not natsuri san. blog is proof of your promise.

my sunday is slowly being devoured..... jikan o tomete kudasai.

mochi says: realised that one of my side tooth got a little chipped off. could be the stone-hard choc I tried to bite into at eve's wedding. why me?! I don't even like the choc. I look even more like dracula now. but sharon san said it's not obvious. but still. a part of me is gone. and I don't even know where it went to. maybe I ate it. Maybe it was swept away by the waitresses. doko.

last day of school.

it's the last day of school.. these 2 weeks finally crawled by..or rather, the last month went past too slowly. there's something wrong with the speed of rotation of the sun around the earth.. armageddon!

not yet. I dunno why but I'm quite sure once holidays set in, the speed would be back to normal again and go 10x faster than it should be.

seize the day!!

many things happened in the past month.. lots of new things I experienced in school like exams, conducting oral, conducting after exam activities, promotion exercise.. blah. hiccups in my family and personal life which I'm still finding time to adapt and accept. thoughts still pretty disorganised. urghz. at least i figured out that i think i'd continue to teach Chinese and not switch to PE.. yes. i decided. finally.

by right, time should fly! since I'm so pre-occupied.. ya la.. but by left, it didn't.

talking about redang with my colleagues now... i feel like going again lor. beautiful place.

oops. redang is closed till april next year.

dreaming of GST 7%

~* bought refill for my ZA foundation and it comes in this pretty compact case set. comes with a matching flora (yummy..my fave) pouch too! s.w.e.e.t. click!*~

back to the topic, haiz. looks like shopping will burn a bigger hole in our pockets soon. increasing GST is to help the poor?! lame chop lor..

so now everyone, get ready to buy whatever you have been wanting to buy since Jan! especially those bigger items... shop before GST rockets!

count me out. coz i shop too regularly to be affected by this change. wahhah. watashi ni okane agete kudasai... ($_$)

Been having real nightmares recently. dreamt of Miss "C" (my school's admin staff in charge of assigning relief teaching duties) who came up to me and dumped me a whole ton of reliefing to do.Ended up with no breaks in between class at all.. horrorz. I'm her "fave" relief teacher I think...dunno why always, itsumo, dio relief. quite tiring.

true enough. the next day i had 1 whole day of reliefing. nan de! so xie2.

then, dreamt of someone who was close to me trying to hurt me.. i was running away but he caught up soon after and I could only keep shouting 'no....'... but no one could hear. can't remember exactly what though. but it was so real that i had to pinch myself to check.

Reflections 2006 by my pupils..check it out!

Came up with a brilliant idea to occupy my class. gave each one a piece of paper and they are to write on the Topic: My Reflections on 2006.. gave them a few guidelines on how to write it and to my surprise, they weren't complaining about doing it. I expected alot of groanings.. I thought they'd rather play UNO cards and "S.t.r.e.s.s" than to do this lor. but they were actually quite onz about it. hahz

2 possible reasons: 1, they're sick of playing their card games (they've been playing the same games for 2 whole weeks already!). 2, they're seriously reflecting since most have gotten their results already, except for the P6s.

compiled their reflections and thought that some were really quite sincere and funny. some drew to decorate the paper and realised that boys are more artistically inclined in drawing..observed across P1-P6.

*P6*
*P5*

a kawaii post~

Suddenly recalled the scene in my P1 class on Friday.

I played the movie "Beauty and The Beast" for them to watch and their reactions were so cute and amusing. They clapped and cheered when they saw how Gaston (bad guy, beauty's suitor) was beaten up by the animated candles, clock and teacups in beast's castle. haha. and when they showed beauty and beast kissing at the last part, they did their usual "eeeeeee.." and when the show ended with happily ever after kinds ending, they all did a sitting (coz i dun allow them to stand..haha) ovation and cheered in chorus.."yay...!"

kawaii! hehe.

Just now, I printed some cartoon character coloring sheets for them to color and they seemed to really enjoy it. projected some of the nicely colored ones for all to view and you should have seen the smirk on their faces.. super proud of their work. of coz, there're some who totally blushed when I complimented them on their coloring. cute!

One of them came up to me and told me that he enjoyed the coloring and thought it was very fun. kawaii!! ^_^

wahahah. okie la Miss Chew, don't get so easily pacified by their lies! As I mentioned previously in my blog, we often choose to be deceived. If it makes my day, why not?heh.

from this moment..

Eve told me she hopes to lose some weight so that she would look better on her wedding day. I saw her today and sad to say, I think she didn't try hard enough.haha.. but she looked so chubbily happy! it's normal isn't it? we eat more when we feel happy or loved.

Evelyn san! けっこんおめでと!いつもこうふくよ。。。。
你要幸福唷!^_^

You play a part.

reached the train station yesterday and noticed that the eyes of the whole platform (okie..almost) of people were glued to the same direction..quite amazing. i thought it was an ad about a new movie or something..

it was some ad about a suspicious person on the train carrying a heavy black bag...how we should react and warnings about a possible terroist attack. cheh.. it's interesting la coz they made it quite drama-like so it's as if watching a channel 8 drama serial.. the only difference is it's actually more watchable than channel 8's serial.

but i think they should choose a slightly more pleasant-looking lady for the ad. her teeth really cannot make it.. i mean ads are still ads. Ultimately they need to be pleasing to the eye.

In conclusion, amidst the complaints, this ad is still better than channel 8's dramas.

Project Superstars is back! heh. the contestants are hilarious this time. hope they can sing well. i love to watch singing competitions!yeah.. more please!

TGIF! crappy video and subway craze to share~

TGIF!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34NkMfKAGxo - Pseudo NDP video. abit wu liao but i thought it was crappy kinda funny. heh

http://www.subway.com.sg - check out the nearest subway location to you now! grab a sub! yummy! why am I doing free ad for them again?! haha.. simply too in love with their subs.. I love their Spicy Italian sub.

Made a detour yesterday after shopping just to go J8 to buy subway.. the guy was surprised I ordered Spicy Italian coz he said no one really ordered it before. wahah. so I'm the first and I'll be the 2nd and probably the 3rd...so on. then today, after a boring 2007 Civics and Moral Ed talk at Chongfu Primary (in Yishun btw), supposed to alight at AMK but proceeded to Bishan instead to buy a sub then return back to AMK to take bus. the guy recognised me already..hah.. asked whether is it I haven't had enough of sub yesterday. My answer was..yess! of coz.. was tempted to buy 2 subs actually but afraid it would be too much..wished my stomach was expandable!

strictly speaking, it's not TGIF for me yet. there's P1 orientation in school tomorrow. I scratched my head coz I don't remember my P1 orientation at all.. I don't think it even existed lo or is it only my parents were orientated.. shira nai yo.

lucky kids. long day tomorrow. ganbatte to myself.

amended vanity affair~

p/s: i amended the html too so that you can see the larger pic when you click on it..wow! been learning some basic html from my colleague.. so must showcase abit.
forgot to add the back view of my hair..heh. so this is the correct one.. i'm a perfectionist! especially in this kind of nitty gritty unimportant( important for watashi ne..) details..

I enjoyed a day of stardom today entertaining all my pupils' comments about my hair..okie.not much of comments.. mostly were stuff like "zhou laoshi! you cut your hair ah?" errr..duh. isn't it obvious?? just nodded and smiled awkwardly..

can't understand why they can't say more constructive stuff like.. "your new hairstyle is very nice leh!" it would make it easier for me to respond right... like i'd say," thank you! see you later!"

well...I'll forgive and forget since they're just primary kids.haha.

males and females really see beauty differently. all the female teachers said my haircut was nice.. only 1 very frank male colleague told me that my long hair looks nicer. this is another comment which I don't really welcome also coz it's awkward for me to respond to that..urghh.. no EQ! haha. I dunno about the rest of the other male teachers la.. dunno them well also so they better not say anything..ahem. that's high EQ.

finally finished up my "when rules turn loose". cried the whole of the last episode when the father died. finished up the last box of tissue in the house. okie. don't think anyone is very interested. fine.

will be going evelyn's wedding alone coz someone by the name of sharon san fly me aeroplane to go to her ah ma's birthday dinner!!! hrmph. hate it when I told her 3 weeks in advance and she totally chuck this piece of info right out of her brain into the dustbin. she's my 2nd hope coz the original person eve invited is not eligible liao =( ... and then..she has to fly me aeroplane!

don't like sitting alone at wedding dinners.. ~Lonely...I'm so lonely..I have nobody.. To call my own.. ~

eve had arranged for me to sit with engkiong. eve's friend but got to know him through ktv sessions with eve. he's super pro nihon go. and i can expect a wonderful evening trying to think of how to answer him in jap. he's great in jap but he's... crazy!

Vanity Affair!

The school booked the whole of PS GV hall 4 for us to watch a movie. We were kept in suspense till just before the show. guess the movie? Deh!! all of ur answers are wrong.. you'll never guess it............................... it was "The Tigger Movie". waahh.. anti-climax huh. we thought we would be watching like "Sinking of Japan" or "WTC" at least.. something updated. it really killed half of out enthusiasm lor. for 1, I dislike cartoons. for 2, the cartoon is so outdated. for 3, I don't like Winnie the pooh characters at all.

well, it's free and it's for team building. so please stop your self centred complaints 周老师!

had a great nap and woke up to meet bumming maria first before meeting up with the rest.

been having a great urge to cut my hair..short. but was busy and all.. finally. I happened to walk past Haru Scene at Far East Plaza and remembered my hair stylist, Kenji. Only went there once and thought he was not bad la..

for once I was super decisive. i went in and chopped off my goldi-locks.

tada! proof of my crime:

kirei desu ka? heh..quite satisfied with it la..feel cooler and fresher too. except that maria and the rest kept saying I look like my students now...-_-;

tired from meet-the-parents session. not many of my students' parents turned up.. only 8! haha...so the question is why am I still tired?! must be tired from sitting there too long doing nothing... tired from doing nothing! omg. don't envy me pls. heh.

oyasuminasai. (-_-)zzz


Poem by Portia Nelson

It was an off day for the kids but was in school for a meeting today.

Boring..yes.. but managed to get something meaningful out of the 3 hour long meeting when one of my fellow teachers shared a simple but inspiring poem written by Portia Nelson..

never heard it before and I wanna share it with you...especially to maria! ganbatte!! (^_^)9
and would like to dedicate it to myself too.. nodded my head in disbelief at how apt this poem was at describing me. I'm guilty of it all the time. I know it. But more often than not, for whatever lame reasons, I still make the same baka mistakes.. over and over. And best of all, I ask myself why? why must it always be me?

Self pity.
Escapism.
Pushing the responsibility.
Sometimes too blinded by emotions to see the root of the problem.

Here it goes:

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
by Portia Nelson
I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.
II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
my eyes are open I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
V
I walk down another street.

when screws turn loose

my new tvb idol - Chan Kin Fung a.ka. Sammul Chan a.k.a. 陈键锋! he's really kawaii.. agree??? *everyone nods furiously in agreement*

had been engrossed watching "When rules turn loose"(what a bad title!!) a.k.a. 《识法代言人》(original always sounds better... what are the translators doing?!) recently. am going finish it up later on! 4 more episodes.. heh.

he's starring as a righteous, boyish, compassionate lawyer..though i thought he could have gotten a better name in the show. he's called Dick...ewww. of all names...

but he's super dupa sweet to the girl he likes in the show and the stuff he did drove me to tears everytime!! stop it dick!.. man like you don't exist! or already extinct like the dodos.. really. unbelieveably nice and bonus! he's got a great sense of humour too.

this is the lucky gal in the show. she's good too.. i like her. but of course, my Kin Fung comes first!

best friends are usually the combination of 2 very different beings

sang this song in ktv today and didn't realised what the song was really talking about until i saw the lyrics printed on the tv screen. always thought it was a love song..hah.. it's not. it's about friendship..lovely lyrics... to my ichiban tomodachis !

<<一個像夏天一個像秋天>>

第一次見面看你不太順眼
誰知道後來關係那麼密切
我們一個像夏天一個像秋天
卻總能把冬天變成了春天

# 妳拖我離開一場愛的風雪
我背妳逃出一次夢的斷裂
遇見一個人然後 生命全改
變 原來不是戀愛才有的情節

*如果不是你我不會相信
朋友比情人還死心塌地
就算我忙戀愛 把你冷凍結冰
你也不會恨我 只是罵我幾句
如果不是你我不會確定
朋友比情人更懂得傾聽
我的弦外之音 我的有口無心
我離不開Darling 更離不開你

repeat # *
你了解我所有得意的東西 才常潑我冷水怕我忘形
你知道我所有丟臉的事情 卻為我的美好形象保密 repeat *

a willing victim of lies

it's undeniable that my family can sing very well.wahahha. minus my okasan la.. she can't sing.

it was k-lunch day today and invited my dad along too! my treat ma..so everyone took the chance to sponge on me!!! hrmph. sighz..is there no genuine relationships around anymore...hah

besides my bro who occasionally sang exceptionally loudly when he can't reach all the high pitched parts for jay's songs (errr..actually any song), really gotta commend my dad and myself for singing so well. ahem. ya.. my dad sang all those uncle-fied hokkien songs which i get wrinkles just by listening to the intro of the song. but it was still quite fun! i mean gorging on bentos and singing at the same time.... what can be more fun than that right.

sunday is ending soon... i foresee a busy week ahead with results processing day, meet the parents day, p1 orientation, eve's wedding and what not. and I've just confirmed a trek on sunday with zhen! cool.. time to get some exercise for me.

11.27pm.dinnerless. hungry.lazy.blogging to forget my hunger.

yup..as per sharon san's request, i've uploaded the KL trip pics! it's on ur left and you can view the album by clicking on the the photos. ya..but the pics very blur la..partly coz i resized it and partly coz it was originally already blur.err. haha. mo blur desu.

ya..she complained the last post was a depressing depiction of our trip coz of the passport expiry thingy. eh.. but it DID happened.. didn't it? so. it's now part of my trip's memory.. an impressionable one at that.

there's nothing in KL actually. no scenery also. wanted more to get my mind off things than anything else. yup..the pics were actually taken out of boredom...haha. half a day in KL is enough to bore you! and definitely me. heh. didn't shop alot also, which is good. hmm.

i thought it was pretty relaxing just to sit in the coach listening to my mp3 and looking at the moving images outside the window and when I get tired, just close my eyes and sleep... i love sleeping on moving vehicles like buses, cars. (excluding ferries)

had a nice lunch in alf's place today and met up with some of my oc colleagues. just chatting and pigging out, not forgetting a mega photo taking session. heh. didn't bring my cam so guess i'll wait patiently for owners to upload them.

gonna eat my subway which i've been always craving for. school food is really dam oily lor. I ate char kway tiao yesterday which left me guilt-strickened. nope. i didn't do anything about it.. went straight home and slept! haha. not much choices in school besides fried noodles or mixed veg rice. sian. when i saved enuff money, i might think of franchising subway and open one in hougang! yeah.

brought my p6 pupils to the comp lab just now and they were simply exhilarated. one malay boy closed his eyes, kissed his fingers and stretched out his hands as if thanking god...letting out a shout of "yess!!", which sounded as if he just scored a penalty shot in soccer after full time.

surprisingly how time flies when one is using the computer..was happy that I could steal that bit of time to revise some of my jap..ya! wanna aim to speak better than the tour guide on my coming trip! haha... like real..ganbatte!!

PSI: ∞ infinity ∞

It was bloody noisy. the word "noise" was sprouting out from every corner of the classroom.

I looked around trying to detect where on earth the bulk of the pollution was coming from. But all the little groups seemed okay.. as in not overly noisy. But when their powers combined (the chattering powers of 45 kids.... at the same time!!), it was simply chaotic.. the chattering and giggling and just looking at their relentless movement of their lips, I was sent into a state of insanity, coupled with pricking headache and beads of perspiration flowing down my temple.

I sank down at my chair in office, happy to enjoy the aircon and shelter from PSI: ∞

great that the weekend is finally round the corner and my tuition has finally came to a stop..till mid dec.. yeah. means no $$ coming in.. shucks.! whatever..still happy to get out of the routine for a while.

mochi says: don't think even captain planet can right the PSI i'm facing here.~~

いらしゃいませい!!

Yup. Welcome to my new blog! officially declared open 1/11/06.

Wanted to scrape the idea of blogging totally actually until I realised that blogging has became an addiction.. omg! heh.

Found it impossible to blog anymore on my old site. I've been secretly browsing the archives of my own posts (yup yup..I can't help it ok....) and that's super hazardous to my health I realised. So.... -_-

I've been craving for mochis recently ..those with red bean paste fillings.. so that becomes my inspiration for the name of my new blog.! yeah. I love azuki mochis!!

Site still under construction though and I'm still looking for a nicer template. I chose this one coz the bubbles, I thought, resembles the shape of mochis..err... but the truth is that I totally hate it. haha.

mochi says: When faced with the worst choices, choose the best out of the worst...........duh.
