whistle for the choir..
find myself pretty contradictory sometimes (actually..all the time). happy on one hand that time is zooming by, meaning time with my problematic classes are decreasing at a faster rate. but again, sighing at the fact that i might be 40 before i know it.... realised that time progresses at initial D speed once we passed the age of 21.. kowaii ne (T_T)
nightmare= age: 40, no car, no house, no okane, no significant half, lost contact with friends due to whatever reasons, no career, hoarse voice due to overshouting as a result can't enjoy karaoke, mayday retires, jay chou retires......
In love with The Fratellis - Whistle for the Choir.. great acoustic.. ! v(^_^)~~
THE FRATELLIS LYRICS
"Whistle For The Choir"
Well it's a big big city and it's always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me you your name
Is it out of line if I were so bold to say "Would you be mine"?
Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it's 3 o'clock time it takes for you to talk
So if you're lonely why'd you say your not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come
And go you know me no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible
Well it's a big big city and the lights are all out
But it's much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads a mess
And it's 4 in the morning, and I'm walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it's you, woo hoo
That's got me going crazy for the things you do
So if your crazy I don't care you amaze me
Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it's a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me's just irresistible
So if your lonely, why'd you say you're not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It's just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don't even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you's just irresistible

he is a mutated mochi..
super zen-look and feel..simple and nice. the only 1 thing i've got against zen is the sofa and seats. super not comfy..i prefer those huge cushy leather type. haha..talk about the art of nua-ing.
headed down to the gym today for a long-needed workout..and also met zhe for a badminton game.! haven't played in a super long time man...think got like 3-4 years le... arms aching now.
so here i am. just awake from my nap and seeing saturday rot away...haha.. 3.53pm now.. oh noo... my weekend.........
saw in ST that they named Jacky Cheung's new song as "long time no see"..kaoz.. was it a typo error or a genuine pathetic translation mishap? on purpose? wakaranai.
heard a loud bang at my door last night. yup..my horrible bro flung open the door and shouted for his galfren to get out. yes.. he's what you call a jerk. he is. really. then the poor gal just cried and left. doesn't give the gal any face at all with his disgusting temper.
seems like he doesn't know how to treat gals right coz it's not the 1st time..it happens all the time when he's in a new r/s. everytime i see a new gal step into my house, besides saying "hi" to her, my heart would be wishing her the best of luck. she's just walked happily into a trap of never ending suffering and damnations.
i think the gal most suitable for my bro would be a maid. who would only say "yes sir" "ok sir".
mochi says: he's a totally different mochi from my mochi family.... different species of human being altogether...and no, he doesn't read my blog.hehe.

初二和初三
thanks to zhe and me for good intro..persuaded sharon san to watch The Protege门徒...starring Andy and Daniel Wu. it was good la..though i practically cringed through out the movie. quite gross the way they showed how they plunged the drug needle into their arms, neck...everywhere..eeeks.. i could feel the needle doing into my arm can.
well..will recommend this movie.
chu3 was spent meeting up with babu and the rest..hopped by maria's place to visit her with some 爱心fish porridge coz she was down with gastric. there after, went shopping with babu in toa payoh, velocity and orchard..haha..all these unplanned coz i had wanted to go home early at 5 or 6 plus.
only hit the sack at 11 plus.. tired. though abit unwilling to sleep coz was in the midst of watching 暖暖ING concert.

alot like love.. love this movie loads.
my all-time fave movie scene.. i'll marry anyone who would do this under my block!haha.... joking! heh.. but it's really romantic.. ashton kutcher is so hot..!
went over to my teacher colleague's place to 包饺子.. yeah.. he just moved and guess what, he rented a place just 5 floors beneath me! world is small huh. so he and his few china bunkmates asked me over for a dumpling feast. my 饺子looks like wanton..haha.. but the 饺子was good though.. spent some time watching a china countdown program on their laptop and ... it was so super boring! super cheeeeena and opera...相声and 夸张wayang dancer costumes.. so not for me. glad i'm a singaporean... chan mali chan..hoi hoi!

my 2007 CNY reunion dinner..yummy.
anyway, delicious meal and i'm on my way for a few scoops of macha ice-cream!
a custom only practised in my household every CNY
at 9am only he'll nag saying i keep sleeping and sleeping so much.. that's the only luxury i can enjoy during weekends can?! what's more it's CNY. when i woke up, before i washed up, he started rushing me out to go buy some light bulbs and withdraw $ from the bank..
qn 1: why does he have to do this kind of simple stuff only on the eve?! where everywhere is packed with cars and looking for a parking lot requires luck equivalent to striking lottery.
home, i started eating my lunch and watched a bit of tv.. he then started prancing around me nagging that i'm doing nothing and i should go hang some angbaos on our potted plants outside. seriously, i think plants ought to remain green, not red, and even if you wanted me to hang it, you don't have to nag. you can speak in a proper manner. surprisingly, i can get the meaning of a sentence pretty easily. no repeitions are neccessary.
where was he when me and mum were lugging loads of CNY groceries home? he didn't even help us with our shopping lor. talk so much.. just like my brother. everything do last minute, now ganjiong, bad mood and then vent the frustrations on us.
for the past few weekends, he had been blasting obiang CNY songs at 9am in the mornings.. so bloody inconsiderate! 1stly, i'm a light sleeper and those hokkienish CNY songs just sound too unfit for human consumption with the repetitive clanging of the cymbals.
#&$%^#@#%%@@@
mochi says: i'm sure this blog would be repeated sometime next year.

today...CNY seemed so near yet so far
okay..touch wood! it's cny! gong hei gong hei!
ya man..but from the bottom of my broken heart, i was seriously begging for this day to end.
kena saboed to organise the CNY program for my school and being a greenhorn at it, i was confused. no..i think confused is an understatement. i have nothing to begin with to be confused about. see. clueless might be better? ANYWAY.
A few hiccups today:
* just half hour before the show, we smelled a burning smell and spotted smoke coming out from one of the hall's speakers.. evacuated the kids. super choking! i thoght it was about to explode lor.. we concluded it was to go with out cny theme..firecrackers ma.
* music for the chinese dance troupe was too soft and the AV boys in the control room can't seem to get my signal to up the volume. though they finally got it eventually.
*one of the mics for the student emcees suddenly malfunctioned to the volume of a ant's squeak... no one could hear. ended up the 1 hosts gotta share mics.
*the "da tou wa wa throwing sweets to the kids" performance was cancelled in the 2nd session coz the 2 poor wa wa were mobbed by the lower primary kids..at one point, they suddenly disappeared from my sight coz the kids were tugging at their masks.. with the escort of a chinese teacher, they had to scramble out of the hall and take hiding in the canteen.
well, other stuff i can remember would be loads of scurrying up and down the stage, across the hall and back and forth the staffroom.
hungry till cmi.. went to the canteen and the auntie had her food display shelf stacked with mandarin oranges..yes. she closed at 2pm!! W.T.H. i'm hungry!
another auntie could only offer me char kway tiao. okay la...anything...anything.
stayed on till 3.30pm before ferrying greenhouse pupils to serangoon stadium for their sports day training. madhouse till 6pm when we were released...finally. wanted to finish my marking actually but another teacher started switching off all the lights to hurry the few teachers who were busy marking to go home...haha. quite funny.
yup.. and i reached home, grabbed the 1st piece of bak kwa i saw and ate..munch..swallowed.
drank my suicidal cup of tehC at 10pm..i can probably stay awake and blog till 2am man..
happy CNY ともだち!

thank god it's tuesday
glad that time is passing by so fast.. though i'm still screaming my lungs out in my p4 class..u'll probably be taken aback at how horrible i sound when i shout. haha.. shout till 破音..serious.. my throat is protesting already.
one of the problematic kids Sam (nickname) who simply refuses to do his spelling. whether he don't like my face, not interested in chinese or simply disinterested in anything else except playing, he gotta still learn his spelling. gomen.
Just before I called his mum, his mum came and look for me.. seemed very confrontational. She said he checked sam's spelling book and realised that the spelling all only half done.. sam told her that i gave the spelling halfway and walked out of the class.. hontoni?!!!! muri yo!
I asked her if he believed his son or me. how is it possible for me to do that may i know?! she kept emphasizing on how caring his son is at home, doing chores and stuff. until a few days later when i called her again to update her on her son's tons of undone work, she then believed that her son had been lying to her about teacher not giving him any homework.
i don't blame her and i think it's normal. Everyone would think the best of their loved ones. It might take many attempts to make them believe that their trust is wrongly placed.
anyway, I'm glad my p2 had improved tremendously. think i've found the method to manage them.. the 2 boys are chaotic as usual but still in control. think the frequent visits to the DM is working abit. but touch wood la...shouldn't say this kind of thing too soon..!!!
mochi says: a teacher asked me if i'm still attached coz they heard that i'm not anymore. they've seen him before in the school fair that time la.. i became teary when i answered.. just wondered if this question serve any purpose..

too engrossed..definitely not in jogging
mochi says: ...shit.. now that i'm looking at my drumstick.. i really need to jog more. or isit just a lack of quality photography angle.... haha. whatever.
なんでよ。。。
just a little news of him, an msn message, even a message from his msn nick, a short msn chat.. sends me back to where i was 3 months back. difference is with lesser tears, same amount of heartache and double the missing.
i was thinking of whether i could cut off all contact with him.. like everything. thought of removing my friendster account, removing his hp number, removing him from my msn list, email list and all. superficial removal..will it work?
so drama-like but seemed to me the only way to do something useful to help myself.. the idea that at least i'm doing something. doesn't sound like i'll succeed though..not even a tiny weeny bit a feasible idea.
drowned myself in endless amount of CNY shopping with my mum, played ahmad driving her everywhere and played bangala also carrying bags and bags of groceries for her.
comp had been giving me problems also..think i've been feeding it too much rubbish... think i better start backing up my music files.. can't imagine if they're gone. can't live without music ne.
weather's been too hot...
everyone around me seemed to be in some sort of depression..
not looking forward to school in the coming week coz i'll be swamped with CNY preparations...
everything's going wrong..... wait..must learn positive phrasing,..nothing's going right. errr...sama sama la..don't sound that positive to me. or is it even possible to have positive phrasing for that sentence in the first place??
frankly, it's okay. really.
mochi: drowning my sorrow in H-Two-O now....
*friends, i'd appreciate if you don't give me any advice or ask me"are you okay?" coz i'm obviously not.haha. always feel worse when people ask me about it..those who have been through it will know. i'd have to settle this with myself..just need alot more time and space..ども。i will be fine.*

我又生病了
was watching 康熙来了just now and so lucky it was 五月天 和强辩 as star guests! yoohoo.. didn't know that 玛莎 and 梁静茹are together! they tried so hard to interrogate masha but he just refused to say anything on whether it's true..but i look at his expression, i think it is lor! just that probably fish leong refuses to admit so masha must keep it hush hush as well.. haha..but the 逼供process was really entertaining la.. love watching the hosts.
oh ya buddy ng.. saw ur 黄牛sing just now.okie only lor...he's like shy shy type..weird.. wondering why u like them so much..
caught mayday's 我又初恋了mtv on cable.. so cutee.. and also realised how outdated i've been.. err..got the video from the official website and uploaded onto youtube..violation of copyrights not ah?? haha.. don't care la.. i'm sick!
check it out.... 石头very funny.. i like this song (duh):
abit bored at home actually.. maybe too used to the hectic school life. nothing much to do except to surf the net and take my medication... omg.. i'm complaining about having nothing to do.
if i feel better tomorrow, will probably treat my mum and auntie to sakae sushi..i got like $70 vouchers courtesy of mr firuz.. heh.. he got these free vouchers through starhub but not halal la..so he gave it to me! arigato..
i conclude that i only like staying at home when i'm not sick. i want to go on a holiday!!! hurry up...i want june to come....quick...fai di.... hayaku..快点

happy birthday - ashin
The merchant court buffet dinner was good!! the durian puree was fantastic...deliciously rich and authentic ne! but i didn't have the stomach to have the 2nd helping...so sad! wished my stomach was expandable... got zhe a bag from o.a.m.c... as per her request.. heh.. oh ya..just found out that OAMC stands for Own A Mix Comfort. errr.. quite cheem.
didn't feel very well after the dinner... felt abit giddy and pukish and totally bloated. felt like draining all the stuff out from my body!! must be really too full la... but didn't think i ate alot... didn't even get to eat the desserts lor..besides the durian.
Brought along my cam and planned to take pics..but was so busy eating till forgot to take any pics of the food... ya..so here are the remains of the day.. the unappetising bowl of white gluey thing is the durian puree...not that it matters.haha..
we've also advanced to being able to sign and write bday cards right under the nose of the bday gal... without feeling paiseh.. so it's pretty cool la.. happens to all cliques of my friends..haha..
proceeded to clarke quay...again..haha..yeah..2 days in a row. very deja vu leh coz just been there with ahmad they all.. this time took some pics coz really quite boring... i hate my digi cam for night shots...sucksx100...
yo...check out the lousy pics!
mochi says: enjoying the remains of what's left of my precious sunday.......catching superstars finals later!!

wise words from the self-proclaimed guru
proceeded to clarke quay for dessert and it was so so crowded. ahmad wanted to bring us to "clinic" to check it out..so there we were. it's clinic-concept restaurant la..seen it in jap and taiwan tv programs.. but okie lor.. i hate the smell of hospitals so abit err when i saw the drip bag and those wheelchairs.. quite morbid.. no appeitite. haha..
anyway, it was too crowded also..we went to TCC and i consumed a whole marble cheesecake..and a green apple twist. stomach almost exploded but i told myself i can do it.haha.. the cheesecake was oishii...didn't want to waste ma. up a size for my jeans.
my current 座右铭: it's not about what you say, but when you said it.
timing is important ne. we were talking about how babu was irritated with her babu seng wrt some small issue.. think he just caught babu at the wrong time la.
trying to be funny at the wrong time = pissed.
thanks babu for the 万得福meal!
meeting zhe and sharon san later for merchant court. decided to give myself a break today and not think anything about work. 明天的话留给明天再说吧!
