being outdated as usual, only managed to catch up on the net jus now, news about taiwanese artiste xu weilun's accident.
dun really know who she is..just heard of her but never watched her shows before. concerned coz she's so young and so pretty..
http://ent.163.com/07/0128/20/35V0DEN000031H2L.html
aiyo..so sad.. the car looked super wrecked so i can imagine the impact of the accident. and they said she was reading a magazine at the time of the accident and it was flipped to a page talking about the movie "Death Note".. dunno true anot la..maybe want to 炒新闻.. but sounds eerie enough.
as i reiterate again, life is so unpredictable. i always get abit teary when i read news about deaths, accidents.. so people, live life to the fullest... get the handphone you've always wanted, buy the LV bag you've eyeing, go on a trip to your dream country..... haha.. seems very wrong leh.
yeah..but you get my idea.

the touching story of lady fan and xue ding shan
my colleague showed me an essay her student wrote. she was puzzled at the names of the characters that the pupil used. he wrote: “樊fán梨花和薛丁山一起修理那张坏椅子。” hahaha... my colleague didn't watch the TVB serial "Lady Fan" that just ended recently on channel 8. so funny!! btw, the title of the comp was "修理椅子”. so touching hor.. repairing a chair together.
yeah..today was bluey as usual. but went on better than expected. yup..when you expect the worst, whatever happens would seem better than expected.
took the chance to release myself early from school today.. ha. if not rest of the week no chance le! finally, everything's set at pete's cafe on friday..meeting babu and gang coz babu is treating! promotion and pay rise...waaa.. can't escape from our evil clutches..muahahaha. then on saturday we're celebrating zhe's bday and going merchant court for buffet! my durian pureeee....i'm coming!! and it's sharon san's treat coz she had a pay increment as well!!! yep! eh...when my turn ah.......... i change from job to job only to get pay de-crement and more job stress. wakaranai yO!
tomorrow's a short day..lesson ends at 11.30..but gotta wait till 3pm for a CNY meeting with the P and VP and HODs.. but i'm not worrying about being too free coz i'll have loads of marking and other lap chap stuff to do.
my comp had a weird beeping sound when i started it just now and had to restart like 10 times before i could on it.. don't crash on me ah.. can't live without a comp now...
mochi says: i shall officially declare i'm a slave to computers...proudly.

i want to be stagnant for now..
I'm happy with my life now, the friends i'm keeping in contact with, my colleagues, getting adjusted to my job..
no energy to upkeep any new form of commitment, and also fearful of what the result of my commitment might yield.
不想想太多
i want to heal, thoroughly. i'm not over him and i know it. i'm not thinking much coz teaching is really zapping me of any extra energy to think. the only thing i think of now is eat and sleep. piggify as i call it. heh.
mochi says: thanks for being so nice to moi and making me feel so special.
it's just that somehow i'm kinda voided of feelings now i think. i can't feel for anyone....new. the most commonly felt emotion for me now is anger actually... when i see my class, and happiness, when i end school everyday. haha..
hah..my life revolves around my work..unknowingly and without a choice. shittified. never thought it'll happen to me though.
hmm..might be good eh for a change?

no more underwear street
yeah! finally, they decided to take down the totally distasteful CNY decor at South Bridge Rd.. i was there a week ago to shop for my school's CNY decor stuff and saw the ugly decor. straps of pink cloths hanging down like drying underwear.. the pink looks cheapo and pasar malam. thus, we named it the underwear street.. killed our mood abit to shop for decor there after we saw how they decor the area.
look at the before and after difference! omg. hope not many tourists saw the decor there..haha.

speshOw.
saw xiaozhu performing this song live on tv on his speshow concert.. he sang it with loads of emotions with his frowned pained-look, thick bushy brows, deepset eyes and sweat streaming down his face.. sounds exceptionally captivating.
the name of his latest album is "speshow" meant to sound like 'special' haha... corny but stylo mylo!
<<好朋友 >>
詞：嚴云農 曲：Kang.Hyun Min 編曲：洪敬堯 製作：馬毓芬
像兩首節拍不同的歌 卻又同時被愛情合奏
旋律勉強著 愉快不能夠假裝快樂
你心中有寬闊的天空 但空氣好稀薄
曾經以為等待會改變什麼 你總會屬於我
但是最後時間證明了 你只喜歡我
你說我比較像你的好朋友 只是不小心擁抱著
你道歉 你難過 於是我給你笑容 誰在乎我的心 還會不會寂寞
如果愛情是五線譜 我曾希望用全音符 吟唱出
愛上你 那完整的幸福
當你的心沒有耳朵 即使我為你唱著歌 你也只 看見我哭了
你說過我是你最好的朋友卻不應該再擁抱著
你退縮 你冷漠 於是我放開雙手 不在乎我的心 會永遠的寂寞

haiz... i wish there's some public holiday around the corner...like maybe on monday? then stretch to tues? then i hope the rain continues and due to flooding in the area, the school will be closed...yoohoo!!! saying all this in the hope of simply getting more rest... i need it.
疲れましたよ！休みお願いします。。。。。。

the 1st and my last..promise!
15 january 2007.. less than 2 weeks after school reopen, i broke down in class!! natsuri san! are you crazy?! you told yourself you'll never do that lor...
sigh.. was too angry beyond words, control...
the class was chaotic due to 2 naughty boys in my class... naughty is an understatement.
i scolded them till I ran out of words to use and I just stood there, helpless and... i cried. now the whole class thinks i'm a crybaby and i think the whole P2 knows about it already.. plus the P2 parents.
I'm so upset coz i've prepared loads of colorful slides for the lesson and some games for them to play...and I could do none of that. it's just so exasperating... tiring and a bloody waste of my effort. i should stop wasting my expensive HP ink on this bunch of unruly rascals. yes. I shall. The school's printer always kena jammed so i actually use my own printer to print COLORed pics so that they won't only get to see the boring black and white...
then i felt pain for a group of students who are always so attentive but probably couldn't learn as much as i spend lots of my time disciplining the rest. we can't have the best of both worlds. can we?
mochi says: it's been only 1 week.. and i'm already drained. my only joy would be cancelling out the days on my calendar till july..OMG. JULY!!!

为爱而生
趁跑步的时候仔细再听一听为爱而生。我习惯先听旋律，才听歌词。可能太相信阿信吧。。信写的歌词不会烂到哪儿去。哈哈。好了。。。。这次应该了解这专辑的意义了。
01 为爱而生 写的是轰轰烈烈的爱情。曾经灿烂 曾经沸腾 就不会有悔恨 即使化成无名烟尘 在故事的尾声 。 歌词很戏剧化，让我们体会在现实生活很难体会到的爱情。
02 天使 写的是对方给予自己的力量和保护。少了自我牺牲，多了一份希望和甜蜜。
03 我又初恋了 算是我其中最爱的一首 。是恋爱ING的延续篇。。能找回初恋的feel应该是幸福的哦。
04 香水 是冠佑的作品。嗯。。目前为止，还不是很喜欢。哈哈。像buddy ng所说的，现场的感觉会比较棒吧。。演唱会！！你在哪里？！
05 摩托车日记 比较rugged.. 大概不是很适合我现在的心情， 也不是我的favourite。
06 最重要的小事 我觉得是在吐露s。n。a。g 的心声。生活的琐碎小事他们都观察入微。。
07 快乐很伟大 好爱歌曲的复歌。节奏很high，beat 很棒，快乐无限 梦无价。有点终结孤单的味道。
08 忘词 很暧昧。很好听。很可爱。每个人在面对喜欢的人都像是个忘词的歌手。。超爱开头部分。。。。嗯嗯 搭啦 我又忘了。。
09宠上天 原来是在写友情。或男女之间的platonic friendship。深深被歌词吸引。。你爱看鬼片 又怕看鬼片 就要我陪 坐在你身边 很想告诉你 我比你还怕鬼。
10 米老鼠 越听越上瘾喔。充满童真。。在孤独时对着米老鼠倾诉。每个人都试过吧。
11 一千个世纪 石头写的曲。很石头。粗框中流露对爱的奢望、执着和承诺。
12 胎音 只是一段哼哼唱唱。是五月天献给冠佑和石头的宝宝的。亲情结束了这张为爱而生。

kenji san was pretty detailed in cutting my hair and that took 1 hour just on cutting alone. then he styled and put some oil and blew and trimmed again.. otsukaresamadeshita kenji san.
i feel like telling him that i'm going straight home after this to sleep, so no need make until so nice la.
well, i paid big bucks for it lo.. so at least i see he's pretty professional and not slipshod in his work though all the other staff had already gone home.
not really used to my straight like crazy locks.. so straight. he already left 1 inch off my roots and my fringe untouched but it still looks straight! well, he said it'll take a few washes for it to look more natural. patience is a virtue ya.

the rest and relax post...JB trip
haven't got time to blog about my trip to visit becca in JB. so..this is the time.
yeah.. was there on saturday with zhen and we started off on our own at city square shopping while waiting for bec to fetch us.
when bec met us at 12.30pm, we already finished shopping lor.haha.. she was shocked coz we already had like 3-4 shopping bags liao.
bec brought us to a real old traditional confectionary which only had a few huge ancient looking ovens and a tiny table where they were selling fresh from the oven banana cake! oishii! really...the best banana cake i've ever eaten..moist and soft and not too oily... mmm.
then, went to try the supposedly best chicken chop in JB... which was also not bad.. i won't say it's the best though coz i've eaten better ones.hah
next pit stop was pelangi plaza where we spent like one and a half hours in the dvd shoP.. stood till legs ached. bec intro us to this shop coz she's a regular there...and nope... but it wasn't me doing most of the shopping. it was zhen!! she bought a whooping total of RM250 worth of dvds..that's like about S$120... must be the big customer for the day and you should have seen how that guy smiled at us when we left the shop, giving us big golden handshake. think bec would get more discount in future when she buys from him..haha.
yep. rested our feet at bec's house and nearly got bitten by phoebe coz i played with her ears. ya la..bec watched me play with her ears and didn't tell me about her infected ears...!!
dinner was very very good. bec brought us to this place which sells nasi lemak and BBQ stuff.. crowded and packed but it was well worth the trip!! nice food and will go back there again....yummyyy.
reached singapore only at 12 midnight..tired and sunday was spent preparing for maniac monday when school starts officially.
買物する大好き！！！！

the teachery post.
it's mid week! finally!
this busy week seems endless. i stay in school for about 10 hours per day plus take home work of about 2 hours.. yup. horrendous. that's hours of brain-racking lesson preparation and many hours of lecturing in an unusually loud voice.
a teacher was on MC today.. reason bracketed beside her name on the MC board : loss of voice. think MOE should cover insurance for teachers' voice. i'm hoarse now and totally suitable for singing ah du's songs.
i totally understand why some people quit their teaching jobs now and also why teachers kepy rushing through their lessons. reason: no choice.
imagine: in 1 week, we are suppose to cover 1 chapter of the textbook, conduct a reading programme where the kids will spend time reading a storybook, do Civics and Moral Ed, do their 作业, write 习字, do 好朋友, give out letters to parents + collect $ from students and a whole load of admin stuff, mark the books and return to students for correction and for the pupils to return you for marking of corrections.... the list goes on. gettting the P1s organised can already take up to 15 minutes.
maybe it's the beginning of the school term la..when all the admin stuff comes in full force..dozens of transferred students who come in and out and we have to update our namelist infinite times.
waaaa!! i feel like dying.. my brain is so clogged up with little things I have to remember to do.. i think i need to compartmentalize my brain. yes. i shall do it.
spoke to zhe san yesterday and found out she only has 21 geography lessons in 1 week! and me???! i have 39!!! my god.. why 同人不同命one??! comparing makes my ordeal more excruciating. i wished i didn't know. come come.... i welcome amnesia.
mochi says: still enjoy the teaching la..especially the P1s! they're so cute and totally innocent and really listens to my instructions.. they are always so engaged in the games i play with them. haha.. call it sense of achievement... i wanna conquer them in time to come! ya..and so hope all these stupid admin stuff can just die off soon...!!!! i wanna be freeeeeeee..

this is only the beginning...
wouldn't be blogging now if not in an attempt to keep myself awake..so pathetic right. want to sleep also cannot lo. ha.. but it's at least for a good reason la.. to meet buddy tan and gang to celebrate tan's tanjobi ne! heh.. so.. i should stop complaining.
BUT!!! i'm really very tired! i was looking down longingly on the floor of the meeting room today thinking if only everyone could just evacuate, i can sleep there immediately.
help.. maybe i'm really those laidback type of person when it comes to work. "Work to live" is my motto. not live to work.
the long holidays didn't help at all coz i totally slacked like mad and now it's as if being thrown back into the furnace of talking children. man..children are super talkative! ohh..but through my little experience, handling talkative children is better than handling those who don't open their mouths at all..not even a nod..or a look to express understanding.. the blank look is the most scary expression on kids.
met my P1 class today and only 1 word can describe them. b.l.u.r. they are blur, they look blur, they talk blur and act blur.
the worst was that i spoke so much and when i looked at them, i've got zero idea whether they knew what i was talking about. already used the simplest chinese i could. well, 1 intelligent looking gal raised her hand and i thought she could save my day.
Qn: What should you do when you're in class? (keyword here: class)
Ans: After going toilet, we should wash our hands. If not when we eat, we will get diarrhoea.
fine. very hand- mouth- foot conscious. good for ya.
they seem to have an incredulously small bladder. when i explained you have to raise your hand to ask for permission to go toilet, i knew they understood this... when i saw like 20 hands upright in the air with an urgent look on all their faces. @_@
spotted a few potential every-day-will-kena-scolding types and a few super dupa daydreamers with their eyes always on the corridor and on the wall behind where i'm standing. hmm.. must wear more fanciful clothes to attract their attention! hahah
guess gotta shelve the never ending list of stuff which i gotta do .going JB for a day trip with zhen to go find miss becca lam tomorrow. that leaves me with sunday to do all the planning for my classes..... nooooo..i want to rest on sunday!

welcoming 2007...
suffering from stayover hangover ne.
yup. babu and maria stayed over last night and we spent the 1st few hours of 2007 gossiping the night away. err..can't remember but must have slept at like 4 plus 5.. and woke up at like 9am.. tsukaremashita!
ya.. talking about last night.. maria was so hungry at 1am that she decided to order 2 boxes of McWings..after waiting for 5 min on the hotline, the officer couldn't believe it when I said i wanted to order 2 pathetic boxes of Mc Wings. ahhaha..He repeated my order 3 times to confirm and whether if I wanted to make it a value meal. no. no. just give me 2 boxes of wings. arigato.
he asked me what sauces i wanted so i told him i wanted all the sauces, namely, garlic chilli, sweet chilli and curry sauce. then he sniggered abit, letting out a little giggle," you can't have all the sauces m'am..hee heeeee" what the *#$%^&. you asked me ma. crazy. i think he was drunk.
anyway, i just ordered garlic chilli and guess what, i received all 3 sauces in abundance. told you he was drunk.
haha.. me and babu ordered some birkens online too! coz she said it's the last day before the price increase on 1st Jan 07... so... ordered 2 pairs and hence, feeling poor... again..haha.. can't wait to see it. i hope it'll arrive safe and sound ne.
after breky, almost concussed so napped for 2 hours. then decided to jump out of my piggy state.. went out jogging. ate like numerous junk food last night and my stomach felt so bad and churny this whole morning till i went toilet to... *** ... moment of relieve.
yup.. spent the next few hours printing out kiddy pics for my chinese notice board..need to make 3 boards for 3 classes.. somehow, my creative juices must have dried by half ever since i left school. mind in a state of blankness.... still trying.. ganbatte.
