what is life...this is life..

me set up another blog..! haha..another attempt to blog in chinese. hopefully won't die a silent death like the last one...find the other one quite user-unfriendly la.. so..haha. RIP.

anyway, decided to keep the new one for postings on my trips..like a travelogue and pics blog.. aiya.. me really too eng2..haha.

it's the weekend.. finally. been too long..! sharon san just came and left..didn't do much actually, just ordered in mac's for supper and she had her free sapporo beer courtesy of my bro..so she's a happy woman now.

as for me, i had my mcWings... after which i just started strumming my guitar and she just sang along drowsily to the lousy songs i could play.. super limited selection lo.heh. slack but fun... too bad we're all tired and she left after awhile.

sometimes we work so hard that when we get to the weekends, we have so much to do but end up only making up for lost sleep. such a waste isn't it.

although i still maintain my stand that sleep is still a luxury.

mochi says: 能睡是福!

praying fervently..

mochi says: zzzzzz.. stuffing my face crazy..feel like eating potato wedges with cheese dip... cup walker pearl milk tea is oishii n cheap..only $1.30!

~~~~purple and green, the barney combination~~~~

saw my p2 sensei buddy on the verge of bursting into tears..could tell she was trying to control herself.. then she started crying.

reminded me of myself when i was 1 month into teaching my p2 class.. the only time i cried and vowed it would be the last. could totally understand how she felt.. she was just reliefing a p5 worst class for the sensei who's away for a course.. i really think banding according to mother tongue is senseless. tortorous system for those who get the worst classes...aka. watashi wa great example desu.. weathered the storms..been there and back and still there but won't be there very soon..heh.

didn't know how to comfort her but hope she's feeling better. it's a phase..a phase where you'll go into and get out knowing you shouldn't be doing such a job at all.

shucks..saw the P today and she wants to "drink kopi" with me..hate this type of PR thing..never liked interrogations..especially when i really feel like complaining but must put up a fake front infront of her..
been oral-ING today..tomorrow as well.. this week gonna be short i hope.. thurs and friday lessons suspended..yoohooooooo.

azuki mochi ni omedeto gozaimasu!! (^_^)v

received a couple of calls for interviews today..happy-ING! haiz..just saw some hopes in a distance, calling out to me.. but nothing's confirmed..but at least i'm getting something out from my hard work la...never sent so many resumes in my whole life leh.

神啊 救救我吧~

trying to spot the 破绽

its nichi yobi again..

frankly i've calmed down quite abit on the thought that i'm going to tender soon...it's decided that my last day is on 25/5.. end of school term. yippee.. hope my job luck gets better from here... quite tired really.

watched "fracture" with junyi san yesterday..the chinese title is called 破绽。one of those movies where you'll leave the theatre still discussing about what happened..trying to piece together bits of the ingenious plot. it's a good movie! anthony hopkins play a freaky psychic character again, where he appears to know everything about what you're thinking even when he's in jail..and you just can't get hold of any evidence of his crime.. ohh.. 1 cute guy in the show! ryan gosling! droolz.





saw this horoscope thingy from cleo and thought it's pretty interesting... so happened that i'm taurus and i really like cream toffee! check it outtt..

i need more space please.....

Space... a luxury item in our staffroom.. oh wait.. you can't even buy it even you got okane..

Space.. something we dream of owning more of..

**my super dupa cluttered and cramp workstation in school..must be the messiest office desk i've ever had. AND i think it's the neatest at this point in time..coz i've cleared all my marking and given the books out to the pupils...**

**Mrs Kuo or better known as Mdm Hu (haha..sounds so old..she hates it when we call her that).. one of my SK buddies.. yep..she just ROM recently. guess how old she is?? ...... 23!祝你幸福 oh! (can't find the chinese orr in my IME..)**

** Miss Peh here.. SK buddy 2.. looking tired and distressed. 披头散发..latest fashion among teachers. haha.. okie..just wanted to make fun of her la...anyway, sharon san! she's the sensei i said who looks like you! yep..must have seen her in NUS somewhere since we took the same courses and same batch!**

** that's azuki mochi ne. just finished her siew mai, chee cheong fun and soon kuay.. and teh**

the day i lost my voice...and we won 2nd prize!

I lost my voice... could be coz of them===>>

*My p2 class..CL2.8.. talkative, mischievous, weird combination of kids.. all very "有性格"...say cheessseee! super thick skinned and not camera shy at all!*

I used to categorise my previous experiences of sore throats as losing voice... but today...is the ultimate.. i couldn't speak..and even if i force the voice out, they were inaudible to the human ear. my kids laughed at me (??!! WTH) ... "eh.. Zhou lao shi got no voice already lor... so don't talk la you all! hahahah..." the main point was the "hahaha". i felt comforted for a millisecond... then... (-_-ll).

spent $50 on a useless doc last night.. complained i had a sore throat and he refused to give me antibiotics.. only gave me lozenges..!! wah lau... i could have bought 2 bags with that money.... heartache T_T



anyway, i was fine till halfway during my lesson, i felt a striking pain while i was talking.....end of story.



well, wasn't really the end, gotta strain my voice again...garnering whatever's left of my voice to remind my P2 pupils not to be nervous about performing on stage and get them into their props. today's my class's turn to perform a short skit in the hall... haha..they were really excited when they wore the little feelers i made for them..they were suppose to be acting as the worm family la.. kawaii~



We won 2nd prize!!!! yippeee!

** yeah! we won the 2nd prize!!i made those feelers for them lo..ha..creative huh.heh**

** when i said funny shot, they did this immediately! haha..so cute**

** Mama worm receiving her prize**

all these will be memories when i leave SK.....

just back from doc and when he heard my voice (or rather no voice) , he whipped out his MC booklet and immediately gave me an MC for tomorrow.. told me it's occupational hazard of teaching.. my mum was beside me asking the doc if i can still go school... if cannot go, then how ah? she was kena scolded by the doc..haha..quite funny.. the doc told her, MC la..she got no voice how to teach huh?

yep..she forced me to go to school when i was in primary school when i had a fever of 39deg can... i was chased home by the teacher coz i looked retardedly sick.. wondering if my okasan is a sadist.

i'm seriously contemplating on going to school coz my p1 and p2 are having their revision tests tomorrow..and there's simply no other days i can push the tests to already... oh man! i'm sounding like an insane teacher... !!

cannot...i shall rest tomorrow...i shall.

tuesday riot.

one of the few times i'm blogging in school.. reason being.. i've finished teaching the syllabus le..so now it's thinking of revision strategies for the kids.. which is equally headache as well.

waiting for my p4 remedial class to start. thought of playing a game with them later though it means i'll be risking losing my voice to keep the volume down.

saw in those taiwanese programs where the artistes are made to carry a word card on their forehead.. so only 3rd parties know what word they have and they have to instruct those carrying the cards to form a complete sentence using the word cards on their forehead. i can foresee a riot. hahah.

today tried out playing BINGO with them using words they've learnt before to form a row of 5 words then they can shout bingo le... surprisingly, they're quite engaged in the game.. though half of the words they dunno how to read.haha. whatever..

the new method of teaching chinese focuses on 认字 anyway.

okie..going to stone a bit before attending the riot.

without you...

............How do I Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you What kind of life would that be.......

went without internet and cable TV for 3 hours just now.. imagine my horror when i on my tv and saw "signal not found.. please contact 1633 if problem persists"..restarted and troubleshooted but still sama sama. the reason why i on my tv is coz i realised my internet was down..thought it was some usual problem with my modem..

after calling starhub, informed me that whole of hougang cable was down. ... AND they needed 1-2hours to fix it....AND i told them that my drama is starting at 8.45pm and it had better be up then lor..waited whole day just to watch it k....AND i told them to expediate.haha..expediate...my fave word in my call centre days.

so for that period of time, i left my comp on... my tv on..with a black screen showing the no signal message..hoping that the moment it's fixed i'll get to watch it immediately. i fiddled around with my mobile and started messaging to disturb people. sat on my sofa with the fan blowing furiously at me as i started counting sheep to when i'll get my cable back... bored. bored.

seriously, if you were to take away my tv and computer.. i wouldn't know what to do at home.

of coz my mum would tell me i have loads to do..like ironing, cleaning, washing...etc.. but i don't mean these lo.

Starhub should compensate me for the emotional trauma i went through during that boring, cold, lonely 3 hours..
