my 1st masterpiece..!!~

tried editing my 1st photoshop pic today! and i think i'm really cut out to be a designer...haha. will not disappoint my 师父!

met up with buddy tan and buddy ng today. before that i had some interview thingys on in the afternoon and i had like 2 hours in between to burn. in order to curb my retail therapy urge, i bought a ticket to watch Shrek 3...alone.. haha.. it's the GSS now..and it's dangerous to be roaming around shops.. seriously. lengths i go to curb a stupid urge which shouldn't be there in the 1st place!

shrek was good! funny...especially the cat! and the donkey.. thought i still hate the upright seats in vivo...feels as if i'm sitting in a plane.

photo craze attack~

http://www.photoframe.philips.com/SG/index.html

wondering how much is it.. bet must be pricy since it's pretty new.

went ikea with firuz today.. so happened he wanted to get stuff n i got my curtains..finally! but the width is slightly smaller than my window's width..but i got it coz it has some stripes running down the cloth rather than the plain beige one which i had thought of getting. yeah! can sleep late le! yoohoo.

he is officially my shi fu now coz he spent like 2 hours in the ikea cafe teaching me photoshop. irony when my own bro is an expert at it and i gotta get firuz to teach me. ha. asking my bro is = waiting for the pigs to fly.

anyway! learnt some cool editing techniques! so fun..fotoshop really can do alot but needs time to explore the functions la. so..i'll try and do a collage of my kids' pics and post it....when the time is ripe. keke.

mochi says: voice sounded so strange yet so familiar

crazy me, crazy week.

been a crazy week..a week that went crazily slow.. crazily busy...crazily trying to grab hold of whatever memories I could with some of my more worthy classes.

as i'll be on my way to watch guess guess guess now.. i guess i'll have to upload my pics tomorrow.. oh.. or on monday.. or on tue..or wed..thurs... actually... anyday. loads of time to burn now..

must have been the one and half hours bus ride to ikea at alexandra. yes. when there's a tampines ikea..i chose to travel to the old one.. best rite.hah. but i really like the old ikea more..more cosy and somehow i know where to find what i want. people just prefer to stick to familiar stuff.. or is it just me? heh.

giddy long trip.

oyasuminasai mina san!

meeting the fockers.~

it's meet the parents session today.. so starting work at only 1.30pm! yooohooo..

hope no parents come and look for me k.. especially samual's mother.. shucks.. she can go on for hours about her family issues and how great her son is AT HOME. in school is a different story k. wrong number for aunt agony.

can't really believe that my teaching stint is coming to a close. no more hearing of kids calling me zhou lao shi. haha.. not that i really miss it but it's really a different feeling like you're the guru to them and would be able to solve issues like, who took my eraser, and I lost my waterbottle.... blah.

getting ready my camera to take my farewell pics with them! will post my la bi xiao xing kid's pic soon! heehee... a cute little girl. no pics with my notorious p4s though. maybe i should dump them with stacks of work for the june holidays as their farewell gift. anyways, they really do need the practice.

fiddled around with the blog template and managed to change the title bar into a rainbow! keke. limited stuff to use since the pic must be paranoma length wise in order to look nice on the title bar.. oohh.. shall try to take a few paranoma shots during my upcoming trip.. then can try to put it on... heh.

okies...enough said. going to slack around abit.

mochi says: TO SAMUAL'S MUM: I dun want to see you..thank you.

consolidating my weekend..

。。。。。。。。。。。寻秦记太好看了！精彩。。。。精彩。。。。。。。。。。。。。

some funny kopitiam auntie intro my mum this pipagao drink and my mum ordered.. and it's like the worst tasting drink ever. it's like pipagao diluted 100 times. gross man. think the marketing person never study visual marketing..the can design is so err3.. almost feel like we just ordered medicated oil. mum ordered the china apple drink instead.. our all time fave.





some random pics i've taken while i was watching tv...eating... packing my room....shaking leg..nua-ing...

::: The very talked about pic...D Kiss. shin looks so cute even with his eyes closed. just tot that if his nose wasn't flattened by selina, the shot would be way prettier :::

::: been choc crazy these few days.. ahem. i kinda know why la. ha. yep..this piece of choc indulgence from secret recipe is simply heavenly. sorry, can only find it in my stomach now.heh :::

::: farewell goodies for my 100 kids.. mother tongue teachers always most boh hua la. got 3 classes. nearly dieded when i lugged it home that day. :::

::: newly acquired shopping goodie today. heh. immed headed to bata to buy the heel grip..but seems like all the outlets also out of stock.. blisters..up and coming! in cantonese...want pretty, don't want life :::

::: thought this is a pretty nice pic taken at the yucky hokkaido resutoran.:::

okie..end of pics galore!

went to eve's baby shower today.. her baby girl lezanne looks tanned and sporty! haha.. coz she's got abit of jaundice..so they have been putting her under the sun.. pretty tanned babe! her house is nicely located just behind Bukit Panjang Plaza.. so convenient that there's a door in the multi storey carpark that leads to her block's corridor! cool... and then..another door that leads direct to the NTUC in the mall! it's like time machine. wooohooo.

think i've been using the mouse too much to send resumes and click on job ads.. my wrist is getting kinda strained and aching.. ouch. hope i don't lose the use of my arm before i find my job.haha. 好烂的黑色幽默咧。-_-

mochi says: haven't found my "5" tshirt.. but asked tanana help me buy a "5" bling bling from taiwan.. hope she can find it! heh..

13 days Turkey Itinerary....

looking forward...

go..going...gOne!! no more chance

been feasting quite a bit due to my tanjobi.

one of the places i went was new york new york with sharon san and zhe san... and i tell you, if you're going to ask me to go there again..save your breath k. gave it a 2nd chance and the food there still sucks. we ordered 3 main courses and they taste equally bad. to me. and to zhe. and sharon san being an indifferent eater, we can't take her comments into consideration.

::: this is the fish and chips i ordered. the fish looks charred and tastes super fishy. the batter is so peppery...feels like eating bak kut teh. imagine fishy bak kut teh. gross.:::

::: zhe ordered the breakfast set..looks good right. looks can be deceiving lor..the pancake taste worse than mr bean. rubbery and overly fluffy and thick. sausage tasteless :::

::: sharon san's ribs.. ribs are too huge and the meat is not tender.. cartel's way better. :::

next bday meal was yesterday when i met up with becca, zhen and kirby. zhen had craving for korean food so we went to the ginseng korean crystal jade at taka.. food there wasn't so bad.. but wasn't fantastic also. maybe i'm not so into korean food la. heh. but better than new york new york!!

::: bakerzinn choc mousse praline cake for moi! super super oishiii.... feel like eating it again.:::

::: candid shot of becca trying to figure out how to use her K800I camera..she's still as not tech savvy.. that's so becca. ha..and kirby looks so much better with this short hair..so much better than the dreadlocks lo..:::

mochi says: i need to get curtains soon..woke up at a inhuman timing 8 plus today and it's a saturday.. oh..recruits time.

people like to queue for overrated donuts.

met up with putri, buddy tan, alf and jy yesterday..vivocity halal cafe Fig & Olive.. quite affordable stuff and doesn't taste too bad. wasn't like fantastic but okay for the price. $8.90 - $15 for most main courses..not too bad la.

putri was craving for donuts..yes..the one that the whole world (except me) is q-ing up for.. we tried the cinnamon caramel one.. and i tell you...their donuts are so so super overrated.. all of us who tried didn't like the texture and taste.. or maybe could be that we were already close to puking from the thick milkshake from Couduroy Cafe. haha.. yes.super thick milkshake. eeeks. nice cheesecake from courduroy though.

yep. sorry buddy ng! i know! your birthday is on 4th May! eh..gimme some credit for guessing that it should be early may. heh. will get you some stuff from turkey!

yeah! i am going turkey on 15th June!! 13 days.... to...turkey...places.. all the names i dunno how to spell and pronounce!haha... okie.. no time.. gotta watch my 风行烈and秦梦瑶 soon.. will definitely post my itinerary up soon!

while i was at an interview, i realised in horror that my spoken english has deteriorated horrendously.. couldn't find words to what i wanted to express.. or best..used wrong words. kowaii!! been speaking too much Chinese in school la... was so surprised at how much chinese i can speak in one conversation..usually i speak a smattering mix of eng and chinese... but now. urgh. just 1 more week and i'll slowly adapt to being more ang moh lang again..

tomorrow i'm the timekeeper for NAFA.. 1.6KM run...shall see the kids chut what kind of pattern.

keep you updated.

mochi says: in my stomach ~~ 1 cup of mr bean, mr bean cheese pancake, 2 chicken pies from polar puffs, 1 squid wrap from OCK... i can hardly see my bust..can only see my protruding tummy.

私に誕生日おめでと！~

one of my p1 kid came up to me today and told me it was his birthday. so i just wished him happy birthday.

later on in the day, when i see him again, he said he hopes the whole class can sing him a birthday song.. omg! haha.. quite shocking to come from him coz he has this global slow illness thingy which makes him slower than other children, not as witty or alert. his legs are quite weak too so he likes me to hold his hand when i bring them around.. kinda dependent i feel coz he's not confident of himself and also his mum takes such good care of him and that contributes to his dependency on others.

so..back to the topic.. yep. so i got the whole class to sing a birthday song for him and he stood there basking in the joy in celebration of his special day. i was standing beside him trying to absorb some of the well wishes coz my tanjobi is tomorrow.haha..cheap thrill..

when i saw his parents who came to fetch him, i told them about what he did. they were so surprised and amused and amazed that he had the courage to voice it out and make such a request. so they found out something new about their boy today. heh.

As my stint in the teaching field is coming to a close, I applaud all parents out there.. and double the applause for all teachers.

空虚感。。不要靠近我！

listening: 终结孤单

还是觉得这首歌最high. 不管心情多糟，它都能让我行尸走肉般的身体立即随前奏的鼓声摆动着.

amazing. 超爱听。

寻找工作没头绪。。没什么人生目标。。。。真想能浑浑噩噩地过日子耶。不可能任务。

我做人蛮知足的。有份我不讨厌的工作，够钱让我偶尔瞎拼，出国旅游，能和喜欢的人在一起，家人和气，听喜欢的歌，k爱唱的歌，吃好吃的东西，看完所有港剧。。。。大概也知足了。哈哈。好像很难满足咧。

无论过的多充实，那刹那间的空虚感受总会一闪而过。不喜欢这种感受。好像彻底抹杀了我对生命的热爱和我所有的努力。

我要终结孤单！

<<终结孤单>>

约你你说不来 来了你又不high
大家开开心心出来玩
你只埋头吃饭如果你的孤单
只是你的习惯一直把你自己锁起来
实在太不应该 心情好 心情坏 怎么开始
怎么办你有的不爽 让我来分担

Everything will be alright Tomorrow will be fine
太阳依然灿烂 Hey 地球继续转有我的陪伴
你再也不孤单(有我的陪伴 一起终结孤单)

卫冕者接受挑战　难免也会失败人生虽然像一场比赛
还是要保持乐观请你把头抬起来
帮你把勇气装满有我这样完美的朋友 High不High
当然很High La La La La La La>La La La La La La

over my DB.

::: i bought the blue one!....hope i can wear..(-_-ll) :::

::: got the grey piece!..hope i can wear..(-_-ll) :::

::: bought this happy t shirt..in blue..hope i can wear..(-_-ll) :::

::: got the white lace one ne...hope i can wear..(-_-ll) :::

not bad la.. managed to reduce my orders to only 4 pcs... out of the initial 9 pcs! remarkable natsuri san!

wanted very much to complain abt the stupid hokkaido restaurant i went yesterday.totally spoilt my mood lor..

~ Service was bad. B.A.D. the china waitress couldn't understand chawanmushi. i had to translate to 蒸蛋 before she understood.

~ I told her ala carte n she took our orders down as buffet for 6 ppl. so we end up getting buffet portions of each dish we ordered. 1 cube of fried tofu with 6 pairs of hungry eyes looking longingly.. we ordered about 7 dishes and each dish was individual portion! 1 tempura shared by 3 pple! we were eating air most of the time...

~ we waited about 20min for each dish..aka..20min waiting time for 1 piece of tofu... wasn't fantastic..trust me. hungry. time spent there was like eating a wedding dinner..except the portions were halved and further halved.

~ bill came... $240! only then we realised that they thought we were eating buffet.. told the cashier and she only charged us the ala carte price for each dish. but they still got a good deal out of it since we only had 1 tofu instead of ala carte size 5 tofu!

which translates to : 1 tofu cost $8..... takai ne....taihen takai....................

came home at 10.30pm and stuffed myself with 2 pieces of kaya bread.. super hungry.

i wanted very much to complain at the restaurant lor!!! but since it was my bro's client... we couldn't do anything and have to act nice about it.

my dad even said we just pay the $240 and next time don't go back again lor.... wth! no way lor... we only ate like $40 worth of food.. ask me pay $240..over my DB (dead body.. sharon san's short form creation..hehe)......

speaking of which...i need to get a job soon.

clothes for elves..

gotta cut alot of my orders from cutie fashion coz apparently their sizes are so small that i think only elves can fit lor.. and all come in free sizes... urgh. even wondering if i can fit into those i order.. i pray...hard.

buddy tan ordered too! yep..awaiting our orders now...

going to a Hokkaido restaurant later for Mothers' Day dinner. my bro booked it la..coz his client ma.. it's new and at turf city..err... hopefully it's oishii. i wonder what is my ah ma4 going to do since i don't think she likes jap food..haha.. i'll try my best to convert her!

think i shall buy the new SHE album.. hmm..

S.H.E. 五月天MV

nice song leh.. got 信inside! so cute..

the heat is really killing me..don't feel like going anywhere at all..minimal movement preferred.

cutie fashion..*~

mdm hu intro me this taiwanese fashion site called cutie fashion and I'm totally addicted...! you all can check it out too, if you all wanna order then we can bulk order.! yeah



found a couple of stuff that i like... so nice hor..to mix n match the clothes.. if she's going to order.. i'm going to get theseeee...

:::the cardigan is so sweet!:::

::: nice shirt hor.. but don't think i'll wear it out though, abit too kawaii for me..heh:::

::: planning to get this T shirt to go Mayday's concert! 55!! that reminds me, i gotta get a top with the number 5 soon! :::

::: err..the focus is on the long lacy camisole beneath the pink top.. quite cool..can mix n match with my other plain tops.. i love lace:::

:::this pair of mini shorts are too short! haha..but i like the details n the fold :::

yep..this is the URL!

http://tw.user.bid.yahoo.com/tw/show/auctions?userID=cutie_fashion&u=:cutie_fashion

BUDDY TAN! think you'll like the stuff here..heh..

no more buffet-ING

hey! yes! hey! look here...yes you! that's right! tell you something!... i don't have lessons tomorrow..doing invigilation.. yeah..yeah... everybody...~ rock your body~

okie la..haha..just exaggerating abit but i do feel quite relieved. recently have been just mega printing revision sheets doing revision with my kids.. and that equals to endless marking. bad idea. but really saves alot of energy rather than me screaming and wailing in class with only half the class paying attention.

i wish i could prick my stomach with a needle..!! my bloated stomach feels horrible... feel like dying... after eating anything my stomach would bloat like mad..and we're not talking about eating buffet or what..just a bun or something would do the trick.

i think my stomach's gone already la.. can't eat too much when i'm hungry anymore.. instead gotta break up meals into smaller meals..

hate it! i wanna buffet.

spiderman 3!

watched spiddey 3 yesterday! good good.. いちばんの映画ですよ！

exciting...show kept us on the edge of our seats.. yeah. special effects was fantastic.. liked the sand-man special effects especially.. must definitely watch this movie in the theatres to consume the full impact of the effects.. heh.

before our spiddey movie, we ate at xin wang HK restaurant at Marina Square.. took the chance to tell them that their thick toast is too thick..too much bread and the spread was so pathetic that the bottom layer of the toast doesn't have any spread on it at all lor. so.. the supervisor promised she'll give us more peanut butter on our toast. and she really did! taste quite oishii this time...the peanut butter spread was flowing like nobody's biz..did i say it was oishii?? yes..it was oishii!! heh.. BUT. we were so hungry that we ate up the toast before i could remember to take a pic of it.

i still maintain the food there is okie only.. really taste very normal.

:::my black pepper chicken chop spaghetti:::

:::sharon san's luncheon meat maggie mee:::

we were in a shopping mood yesterday but didn't manage to have much time to shop after our dinner...rushed like mad from MS to bishan to catch the movie at 9.40pm..should have booked the 11 plus show lor!

mochi says : feel like doing retail therapy today... tomorrow...the day after...everyday...

happy happy searching...

added a google toolbar on the left! so..can start searching from my blog le..heh. added wikipedia site..it's an online dictionary which has almost any information you want...info on flowers, artistes, history...birds...anything..super good..my fave site.

the interview went okie..not harbouring much hopes la..the smoother the interview..the higher chance of me flunking it. haha. murphy's law.?!

up and coming...spiddy 3!

oh.. watched The Hills have Eyes 2...very gruesome.. 5 letters to describe..G.R.O.S.S.

::: ahmad, definitely not the show for you:::

my new baby..!

read an article on this thing called "yuppies flu".. the article was titled 累的人请举手.. i could almost feel my hands jerking right up...as well as i can imagine sharon san's arms up high n above mine...

bought a new mobile...a flip one! heh.. long enuff for me to speak comfortably into the handset.. no need to cup my hands over the phone anymore.. didn't intend to buy that model but that guy intro coz got promo and it's $0 with my trade in.... so... sugu ni katta ne.!

not bad la samsung phones..pretty easy to get use to.. more easily adpatable than that time when i switched from nokia to ericsson..

well, all along thought it's 2megapix..but it's actually only 1.3mp! nvm la..i got my digi cam. never contented, aren't we? wants the best and most functions out of a gadget.. when it's not really needed anyways.

going for an interview now.. ganbatte mochi! roll...roll...to your interview..

choosing to remain sick.

it's weird and perplexing.. human beings are all sadistic to a certain extent.. they seem to enjoy inflicting pain on themselves. knowing well that doing something, or having a particular thought, meeting a particular person would cause hurt to themselves, you would not hold back and instead go ahead to do it.

Despite our efforts to minimise pain of all sorts through medication when we're sick, through talking to a friend when we're feeling down etc.. when it comes to the topic of a r/s, we don't seem to want to get out of the pain. we choose to remain in pain.

we forget how to protect ourselves from hurt,
we forget how we were hurt,
we are blinded by this thing called love,
we bask in the thought of that somebody,
we forget the tedious, heartbreaking process of how managed to keep our sanity till now,
we forget the care and concern our friends and family have for us,
we become a different person in the name of love,
we hold little hopes and spaces in the corners of our hearts for that special someone,
we forget all the cons and magnify all the pros..
we swallow all that dignity we used to hold so high,
we cannot forget regardless of the time.. time heals, but time doesn't erase.

选择性迷信

i never was a religious person..in application forms, i put myself as a Taoist but actually my parents are the ones who are taoists la..i just follow suit. i pray when they pray.. even though so, my parents are not pure taoist also.. they go to the temples to pray to four faced buddha, guan yin, sleeping buddha and da bo gong...hmm.. this is taoism? haha..i really don't know leh..i thought only pray to da bo gong.

anyways, i am religious for today la. wanted to go pray for better luck in career, love, happiness, wealth..everything basically. haha. just back from guanyin temple at bugis..crowded. got a 上上签 saying a golden rooster would bring me to the pot of gold..

oohh..rooster! could me one of my gal pals !! who who? 誰ですか？

gold would be good. but right now i just need a job la. and.... perhaps a trip.. which isn't really coming true. mochi ah mochi. can you focus on getting income first before thinking of play?! haiyo.

mochi says: selectively religious.. religious only when i need it. will all the gods and buddhas 保佑我? oops..haha.

无助的时候，人始终还是相信神灵的存在 的。。无神论只是空谈？
