Sayonara
time passed quicker and quicker when you have more and more things to do. that's why ppl say time is never enough rite? Raffles city food market HAPPY 30TH MONTH NINJA!!! LOVE YA FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND TOLERANCE U HAVE GIVEN ME, LISTENING TO MY WOES AT WORK. LETS CONTINUE TO CREATE MORE MEMORIES TOGETHER!!! Nites Out Simple day its sunday. ninja and i decided not to catch a show coz we alr watched one this week. besides, i'm quite tired these few days. i received my matriculation package alr, but i dun noe wad the hell is it talking about, especialy the bidding for courses part. i know nth bout wad is available to me and wad i should do in the first semester etc. i realised i was too ignorant and just chose the course blindly. ninja said i should have went to look up bout it online before i even choose the course. i guessed he's rite, but even so, i won't regret my choice of study. Racial Harmony Day its racial harmony day, i wear a chongsam top to work! hahaz. but as usual, everything is busy busy busy. so much so i got extremely little time to prepare the stuff which i'm supposed to prepare. but still, i earned a compliment from my little k2 kid vesta. she said i look pretty. wahahaha. but after work, i'm heading to meet my beloved ninja at northpoint. hahaz, we are going to watch nacho together. Takashimaya Food Fest at last! after 2 weeks of mia, ninja is back by my side! we decided to go to the last day of taka food fest after looking at chingcheng's blog. hahaz. unfortunately, i din take any photos coz i at tt point of time, i felt its impeding my eating process. hahahaz. Shanghai Ren Jia i ended work at 5.15pm but i reached home ard 6.00pm coz i waited for 812 (not 812E) to come for a long time. reached home feeling all shagged coz i slpt late last nite. today my mum went out with her sisters for a gathering and went to eat good stuff. boon went back ri to help out his juniors and went to eat good stuff. my sister went dating with eddy and went to eat good stuff. my dad, my elder bro and me decided to settle our dinner at shanghai ren jia and went to eat good stuff! MaiAHi Announcement i am proud to announce that.... Tickle test... "Ellen, you keep secrets about your Love Life
today, i have concluded my 6 months stay in tim-educare services. i must say, the centre has given me lots of work to do, and i have to thank the boss for being so miserly and troublesome, letting me be so busy for especially the last month of my worklife there while issuing so lil money. and because of tt, i have learnt to appreciate slacking, and of coz prepare myself better for uni life... this job has also tested my patience, my ability to speak up, and oso socialising skills. i needa thank the kids there for these. they have never ever given me an easy life, always spicing up my life with anger and irritation. they allow me to realise the damn fierce side of myself and awaken my impulse to slap them.
if u ask me, i have to say tuition job is not easy as u think it may be, especially in a small centre. many preprations work depend on yourself, especially you have useless colleagues who know nothing, or pretend to know nothing. occasionally, i cheered myself up by thinking how clumsy the other teachers would be without me ard. but most of the time, i dun really care.
yet, i should really compliment those ppl who brighten up my torment there. my ex-colleague, sin yan, who left earlier than me by a month, is really a very nice friend. she used to be doing most of the preparations, which really lessened my burden very very much, giving me adequate time to prepare my sunday class on saturday. she is very understanding too, and a good listener. i will never forget our daily stroll from the centre to the traffic junction where we parted. we would talk bout what happened throughout the day and discussed bout students and work. she would always wait for me to go home together when we knock off no matter how late it would be. in contrast to that, i had a couple of new colleagues in july who leave without a word and nv helped in preparation of the kids worksheets...but its alright now, coz it none of my concern anymore.
the next few i must compliment are my favourite kids. though sometimes as annoying as the others, most of the time, they crack really funny jokes which set the table laughing. i have taught a few from the start till the end of my contract and have developed feelings for each of them. often, my mind will confuse them to be my friends instead of my students. i really enjoy the moments with them and can't bear to leave them the most. on my last day, i had a sudden urge to cry upon the tot of not being able to see them again, but i held back, because i did not want to complicate the matter too much. my boss wanted me to simply leave quietly anyway. below is a list of my beloved kids (not in order of liking).
1. lil chloe k1: she taught me to be more motherly. yet i pity her tt she has to take tuition at such a young age. on my last day, she sat on my lab. she felt so cuddly! i hope i can have a daughter like her.
2. vesta k2: naughty and dirty girl, but superb in english. taught her for long, she's like a lil sister to me.
3. bryan k2: friendly lil boy, but sometimes can be dumbfounded in front of strangers. suberb in maths.
4. fahmi p2: he's quite cute, not the wild kind, but dun like to study. taught him since the start of my contract.
5. xiao xuan p1: she's cute! and very obedient too. sometimes a bit violent and vulgur? hahaz, she has an elder sister in p2 whom i dun like. forget to prepare present for her...
6. tricia p3: chongfu girl. difficult to talk to her at first but became familiar with her and she became like my lil sister too. so playful like mad. but cute.
7. sarah p4: a very playful girl, but quite adorable in her own way. she sometimes joke like dunnoe wad and can be rather rude. i treat her like my friend coz she doesn't really treat me like her teacher anyway. she gave me a correction tape as a farewell present.
8. danial p6: like some clown, but he's quite good looking. even dreamt of him b4. his voice sounds like sore throat. hahaz. he's like a friend to me, his jokes are my main source of energy.
9. cheryl p6: she's not beri pretty or cute, but sociable and straightforward. rather protective of her, coz i dun wan her to be negatively influenced by her tuition peers who smoked.
10. jia hui p6: a new girl, but we clique quite well. very talkative, but quite totful. she drew a nice lil gal for me on my last day and hopes to see me again.
11. siti p6: fahmi's sister. i think she used to steal my ruler, but after we are closer, she's actually quite a nice girl.
12. geraldine s1: she has a sister called kimberly in p5. both are maple chiongers. but she is more obedient and socialise with me more. quite pretty in her own way.
there are still many more, but not as close as them. can't possibly list all the 50 plus plus kids out.
from here on, i shall embark on a new journey. and finally, i say, "sayonara" to tim-educare services and everyone there, be it happy or sad. i will move on bravely, with the experiences and memories by my side, to another stage of my life. once more, thank you everyone.

Sunday, July 30, 2006
this morning i had shit. so i refused to enclose wad happened during pract class. i swear i won't go back sunday class again. argh!
reached home, eat, and sleep. coz too tired from ytd nite. decided to meet ninja at 4.30pm but dragged till 5pm den see each other coz first, i'm late, den we realised we were meeting in the wrong place. hahaz. ninja is blur. i went northpoint and got ninja a lil pressie coz its cute, but dunnoe he lk anot. later we went to the neoprint shop! its been ages since we took a neoprint tgt. and this time, it's nice! (too bad my camera dun haf macro mode) we had hell lot of time to decorate our picture, actually is inifinite timing, coz nobody's taking the picture, so the timer won't go off. we were definitely satisfied with this neoprint, other than me surprisingly looking fat in one of the 4 pictures...(-_-"')
den we headed off to town. i realised we were very much influenced by ching cheng's blog. she's always the first one to try out many nice food places, and ninja would be really tempted to go there. so i concluded that ching cheng's blog is actually our......directory??? hahaz. when we reached city hall, i asked ninja to exit the train, but he said the raffles food market (our destination which supposed to have many eateries) was in raffles place. i was rather puzzled coz raffles place is an empty place with many offices only. and i was right!!! ninja did make a mistake! when we alighted, we felt so maluated walking around the raffles translink shop which has all their shops closed like some dead city...
after much trouble, we finally arrived at the correct venue... *bish* and wow! there's really many nice nice restaurants, and of which, many are much more affordable compared to the one me and er ge had eaten yesterday. hahaz. ninja decided to eat in the asian kitchen, an outlet of the bigger one in marina square. its called teahouse coz its quite small.
we had 2 dishes and one soup served with steamed rice. the appearance doesn't look so impressive, but it's sure a cozy meal. the food are just nice to satisfy our stomach.
-roasted duck (but ninja said wrongly to be roasted chicken and malu himself again...) 
-rice, lian ou soup, stir fried sprouts 
finished our dinner happily and went for dessert! ben and jerry's ice cream! wanted to try it since tt day when me, ah gurz and kim went out. ninja bot a walfer cone and the ice-cream tasted quite milky. dunnoe how it managed to melt so quickly, the whole table was so dirty with drips and tissues. and we resorted to eating cone ice cream with...spoons? hahaz. pathetic us. but the point is, the ice-cream is not bad.
oh well, that mostly concluded our day and i had to send ninja back to cck again. hate to part so soon, but i had our neoprint to keep me company. and of coz, the fact tt tml will be my last day of work keeps me going. =D

Saturday, July 29, 2006
oh man!!! guess wad??!?!?! i ended work at 7pm today. wtf! 11hours lehz. i wonder why each time becomes longer and longer. i am starting to hate teaching very much, especially the sunday science practical class --- the main reason why i stayed back so so late. if my boss dun pay the extra time i stayed back, i will do sth to the vodoo doll he gave me at the start of my contract!!!
anyway, supposed to meet er ge at initially 6pm, den i pushed back all the way till 8pm. it was rather bad... and i was damn hungry coz i ate a maggie mee goreng for lunch. it sux. by the time i reached clarke quay, i was actually quite dead beat, falling apart anytime. i still hadn't managed to sleep well... den er ge led me to this long long staircases like those in ff7 (inside the shinra complex) and i climbed till i almost faint... finally we reached the ground, and it was actually very beautiful at nite!!! the neon lights and nice river water. wad caught our eyes was this floating boat restaurant, and i was completely excited over it. so, as the bday boy, er ge decided to treat me to tt place (forgot the name.) unfortunately a series of jokes took place...
before we headed anyway, i asked er ge wad's his budget. and he said,"no budget". i asked why and he explained he's paying by nets. i told him tt some places do not accept nets, but he debated that everywhere is nets and decided not to heed my advice.
so we went to the entrance of the boat and took a menu to glance thru. er ge kept asking me wad i want to eat, and i said,"must i decide now?!" den he said,"er..i think so." i kinda ignored him and gave the menu back to the waitress, giving a slight nod to indicate we were settling here after er ge agreed. and guess wad?! er ge tried to stop me and said he hadn't ordered his food yet..... (-_-"')
den we went to our seats and started ordering like mad. i had a bbq stingray and a glass of red wine while er ge had a pork rib and cuppocino. the waiter asked if we had anymore orders, like mineral water or wad, and upon hearing tt, me and er ge decided to take the water. then the waitress came serving us bottles of mineral water. wad good service. i shall skip all the waiting and stuff, until we just finished our food, and we hadn't asked for the bill, the waiter came throwing the bill (note: throwing) onto our table. when we saw the bill, we almost vomit blood. $86++!!!! mad!!! er ge said he could understand, but there's one part he couldn't when he reached the bottom of the bill.....
2 bottles of mineral water ------ $10 !!!!!
it was then we realised, mineral water not = water not = free
after going thru all the heartaches and whining, the waiter suddenly appeared to collect the money, so er ge decided to pay by nets. and guess wad?! the waiter said,"we only accept cash or credit card." ........... we were rather shocked after hearing tt, staring at each other for a few sec..... i only had 10 bucks on me.....and i dun want to wash the dishes...... sniff.... but luckily, er ge happened to have spare cash on him....and together with my money, we just had enough to pay the bill.... and now...both our wallets were totally empty....
after a long time, we still hadn't receive our change. we tot the guy decided to keep the change for themselves but the waiter arrived in time before we left. upon receiving the change, er ge was so desperately trying to take out every single shealings from the bill book. and accidentally, in his anxiety, he dropped a 10cent coin into a dirty plate and it was stained. know wad he did?! he picked up the coin, use the servelet to wipe, den look at it, and deciding tt it was not clean enuff, he went to use his shirt to wipe the coin!!!!!!!!!!!!! how maluating!!!!! and the waiter was still standing there watching us.... (-_-"')
after getting every single bit of money back into his hands, the waiter asked us,"is that all sir?" and er ge said,"ya, tt's all." and the waiter, looking rather pissed, walked away from our table. i think he wanted tips, coz all along, he was standing by the table watching us, so i told er ge bout it, and he was saying,"huh, is it? is it? den wo bu shi hen embarrassing?" (-_-"')
having empty wallets and no posb cash machines, our only place to go was home after a stroll along clarke quay. by the time we reached home, it was alr 12 plus pm, and after chatting with my mum, sis and bro, and bathing, it was 2pm, and i was really dying... tml still got pract. i dun feel like doing it...
anyway,wishing er ge, john, jireh and ah gurz' bb, happy birthday!!!

Sunday, July 23, 2006
i went home after my sci pract class, feeling all weak and drowsy. think its coz my kelvin fed me with his spagetti which he cooked during lesson, and with a full stomach, my consciousness automatically shut down. i just happily fell onto my sister's bed and sleep till 2.30pm. can't be helped. i hadn't gotten enuff sleep since i got my matri package. sigh~ my mum woke me up and i quickly sms ninja bout the meeting time etc, and becoz of my blurness, reading the nus stuff away, i forgot the time and was 30min late again. my god...i'm so sorry ninja...
we went woodlands! went library a while to return books and headed to play the arcade! i think we were really lousy in spot the difference game...always lose like siao. den we decided to play the drum game, but obviously ppl were using, so to kill time, i suggested playing the spot the difference game again, but this time, the pictures were sexy ladies. but damn funny, i went to sit down on the bench, and the guy beside tt machine was practically staring at us like we were some chiko. hahaz. and ninja dragged me away. *malu* wanted to play house of dead but always very popular. sigh~ one day must come early and book the machine.
we finished our credits, and i realised on my watch tt it was 7.23pm! so i hurried ninja to go makan. we decided to go to our all time favourite foodcourt~! spent quite some time there, and decided to go buy mini melts for dessert then hurry up send ninja back camp if not he late. but when we left, i looked at my watch again. and it said 7.26pm. oh man, i was shocked la. then i asked ninja for his time. he said just now we came to the food court at 6+pm only. no wonder i felt so full. and i realised the time i was looking at was actually the date.... 7.23........... *dotz*
due to e luxury of time, we hang ard the place till it was time to go off. sent ninja to cck and i head back. the next time i see him will be next sunday. meanwhile, i shall work hard on my uni stuff and faster finish my tuition stuff. had a feeling that the boss is trying to squeeze me dry before i quit....

ninja was able to book out on thursday nite coz he had worked hard and stay up all nite for a war game duty. and i supposed his hard work was recognised and they allowed him to book out early. so here we are, in northpoint sakae sushi eating dinner. it had been a long time since we were able to meet at nite on weekdays. so elated. i paid the bill.
then we went for nachoooo.... though we were full, ninja couldn't resist the sweet peanuts. and when we went in, he suddenly said that the girl tending the stall looked cute. and i was shocked. how often he compliment a girl in front of me? (i dun like to share comments of the looks of ppl) felt a bit odd and green at the same time, but den, i just subtly replied, "ok la." later he explained to me tt his friend tot him to compliment girls more coz this would strengthen the r/s between the couple.... dotz... if tt is so, den why so many ppl break up still? lousy advice...
nvm, abt the movie, wow, it was heart warming! i like the mexican accent in the whole show. and some parts was really funny. the sister was really chio. (this time i agree) she has a qi zhi. hahaz. then there's one guy in the show whom i tot looked like kai ping very very much when his hair were not covering his face. he acted like kai ping, and talked like kaiping. both of them had sleepy eyes and thick lips, and they are also very thin! thou the ending was expected but it was nice. regretted tt i din watch school of rock last time.
after the movie, ninja sent me home. we sat outside to read mar tgt. read till very late. at some parts i almost fell asleep. when i finally bid goodbye to ninja, everyone in the house had already went to bed. in the end i slept at ard 2am. tml i still needa work~! but its ok, i like today. *smile*

Sunday, July 16, 2006
when we reached orchard, we went lido instead first as we were trying to incorperate pirates of the caribbean into taka food fest. ninja got 2 free movie ticket passes!!! so we had a free show!!! so happy. as our show starts at 5.30pm, we tot we head on to the food fest first so tt we can capture and make use of every single minute. actually, i tot the food fest was on ground floor along orchard road, so i was a bit surprised to see it at the galleria outside the food court. =P wow, it was swarming with people. hahaz. ninja and i could not control our excitement n dashed for the entrance. there's tons of food! but we decided to stop our feet at 1st stop, muffins shop!----------------------------------------------------------------------------1. muffins flavour: durian and chocolatecomments: the durian one was nice nice nice, can taste the durian flesh too! the chocolate one was not bad either, it's just hot from the oven. the chocolate chips melt in your mouth! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------when we've got the muffins, we started walking around, searching for the next target. and then...we stumbled upon the cold pan ice cream!!! we heard and seen enough of it on ching cheng's blog, now it's the time to test it out for ourselves! however, the queue was rather long and the process of making the ice cream is not so quick, so we gotta wait a while 1st. meanwhile, we got ourselves another odd looking ting.----------------------------------------------------------------------------2. ???comprises: a sausage wrapped in potato cubescomments: it tastes like a big big french fry, with a ingenious addition of a sausage within it. not bad.----------------------------------------------------------------------------we went back to the cold pan ice cream shop and when we tot cook was doing our ice cream, he shouted number 29... hey. he skipped our number! hahaz. and suddenly, their supervisor talked to them in japanese. hahaz, i din know they were really japanese! wow...japanese guys are so so white... hahaz. our ice cream was green tea one, quite appealing to me though i overheard a lady saying tt it looks disgusting... and ninja, upon receiving the good, he asked the person for strawberry biscuits rolls which wasn't included in our order list. of coz, tt guy din give it to us. but it was malu-ating...typical singaporean...----------------------------------------------------------------------------3. cha cha chaingredients: green tea ice cream mixed with cereals with coco crunch base, topped with honey and m&m.comments: the green tea ice cream tastes 100% like green tea. the mixture of the cereals makes the ice cream tastes crunchy. the honey tastes natural, not too sweet, just the way i wanted. and the ice cream is really cold, i suspect the cold pan makes the ice-cream cools further. probably one may get cold burn when one touches the pan...----------------------------------------------------------------------------ninja doesn't seem to be quite satisfied with the ice-cream by the looks of his face. hahaz. but doesn't matter, we went around to hunt for more food. then we came across this fish shop and i wanted to buy the biscuits they were making coz they looked delicious on ching cheng's blog. but to our dismay, the fish biscuits were only samples, and we were asked to buy the whole fish. but nvm, it tasted nice enough. i like it. i would return to buy them after the movie coz i din had enough cash on me. heez.----------------------------------------------------------------------------4. saba fishingredients: well mixed for you, ready to eat after boiling with hot water. comments: tastes like teriyaki, the flesh is soft, abit like sardine. hahaz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------as we were a bit full, and we tot we could finish a whole packet of 12, we decided to buy the mini japanese donut to the cinema as a snack!----------------------------------------------------------------------------5. japanese mini donutflavour: honeycomments: its a fried donut. the honey tastes nice and best of all, its kawaii!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------while we were about to exit and head on to catch the movie, i simply could not resist the sight of black sesame ice-cream at the uzumaki ice-cream stall where the famous green tea ice cream was. so we queued the long queue, and waited for our turn. a while later, ninja somewhat managed to piss me off the queue, so i started floating around, peeping at other's ice-cream. all of a sudden, someone ordered a black sesame ice-cream, and that ice-cream man said...OUT OF STOCK!!! its a damn bad news for me. and how bout green tea? OUT OF STOCK!!! so wad flavours do u have? blue berry and chocolate...all the nice ones were gone!!! *sniff* when it's ninja's turn to purchase, i dunnoe wad he said to the ice-cream man, but their conversation was hell funny!
ice-cream man: "no more black sesame, only blue berry and chocolate. try berry, it's nice."
ninja: "no more ah... *turns ard and looked at me* ok, blue berry."
ice-cream man: "good! you're the man! i like you!"
*dotz*
and after tt, ninja was all proud, so happy tt he's the man... hahahaz.----------------------------------------------------------------------------6. uzumaki blue berry ice-creamingredients: blue berry and conecomments: not so sweet, the blue berry taste is not so strong, a very light ice-cream indeed. i just regretted not having black sesame one...----------------------------------------------------------------------------we headed to lido and on our way, we saw a guy selling paper cranes for cancer children. we generously donated $10 and wrote our msg for the patients on the cranes. we reached lido on the dot. hahaz, lucky the movie started late, if not i won't have time to go toilet..hahaz. pirates of the caribbean was not bad, not to mention my favourite character, captain david jones. hahaz. i like his tentacles, can be used to play the organ keys. hahaz. and he's of a less scheming pirate compared to the silly jack sparrow. but it was sad la, the ending, i din expect captain jack to be eaten by the giant squid. nor did the girl (elizabeth or wad?) to kiss jack so passionately in front of william. girls~(shook head) and the last 5 min, obviously suggesting a 3rd movie, is so sudden. bleh. wonder when can the 3rd movie be done... oh, and when the credits and songs finished, there was a little scene bout the dog becoming the next god after jack in the man-eating tribe. silly. hahaz. ninja gobbled up all the mini donuts during the movie, and 2 bottles of coke (which we received when we donate the $10), and he wasn't feeling so hungry anymore. hence, we head back to taka for another round. but this time, quite a few shops had already closed. my fish shop, had already had one type of fish all sold out. sad...hahaz. so we walked around, and decided to try a cute little food call bobosho.----------------------------------------------------------------------------7. boboshoingredients: steamed white carrot, chicken, vege etccomments: so cute packaging!!! and wad's more, its healthy coz its steamed, and afterwhich grilled for a while. there's no strong white carrot taste, its nice and innovative!----------------------------------------------------------------------------we also got ourselves a taiwan mango ice-kachang sorta dessert. it looks nice though i was afraid of the strong mango ice-cream smell at the 1st glance.----------------------------------------------------------------------------8. mango delightingredients: ice, mango cubes, mango ice-cream and mango saucecomments: i was wrong!! there's no strong mango essence taste at all. it all tasted like fresh mangoes, the ones i liked! simply delicious and sweet! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------feeling a bit hungry still, we went to buy more food. hahaz, was about to buy sausages when an auntie came to ask me to buy so tt they can close shop. but ninja walked on and i tot he dun wan, so i said no to the lady. and she was like sa jiao-ing to me, hahaz, and i got a bit disgusted. yet i decided to buy coz tt's wad i wanna buy in the first place, and its having a discount! hahaz. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------9. sausagesingredients: chicken and cheesecomments: yummy cheese inside the sausage. its rather crunchy, and the cheese is quite nice, like custurd. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------we walked on, and saw satay! i was tempted to buy. and so i did. hahaz. as the shop was closing, the aunty even gave me 2 free sticks. i was pondering if i should buy back for my parents, but eventually i din since i worried tt the satay would turn bad after i bring home. heez. (just an excuse i guess)----------------------------------------------------------------------------10. sataysingredients: chicken comments: they have quite a nice peanut chilli sauce. i like it, not too hot for me and so many peanuts!!! yummy. the satay are nice too, very meaty. just tt they gave a little bit too little cucumber for us. hahaz. yumz.----------------------------------------------------------------------------alritiez, tt concluded the day at the food fest. its all thanks to ninja's off day tml tt we would be able to enjoy such good food to the max. but our day had not ended just yet. we went home to watch fma the movie. my computer sux by the way. so the graphics aren't really clear. a pity tt we went back a little bit too late and my dad needa slp, so we couldn't use the big tv in his room. throughout the movie, ninja n i appeared to be a bit sian, think tt's coz we watched too much pirates of the caribbean which had lotsa actions. so wen we came to a much more slower paced anime movie, it couldn't be helped i guess. hahaz. it was already one am when ninja went home. we had a fun fun foody day after 2 weeks of break. n i must say, we still love each other very much. hahaz. smilez~

the one week chrno crusade marathon has ended. i have successfully completed the 24 episodes anime series, all thanks to youtube!!! i must say, this anime is not kido kinds like cardcaptor sakura. it's much more like full metal alchemist, where there's seriousness behind every joke; and the plot is very firm and clear, and hence convincing. graphics wise is good, very detailed at each trivial parts. i like the ending, because it's an imperfect happy ending. that's reality, nothing ends with happily ever after since life doesn't go on forever. and while i was feeling disappointed why the powerful devil, aion would die so easily in the 2nd last episode, he reappeared at the last bit of the anime and assasinated the fallen angel, remington aka joan paul. it brought the anime viewers to a higher order reflections, predicting wad would possibly happen after the anime concluded at e 24th episode.
i especially liked the part where chrno and rosette spent their last moments together quietly. no matter how many times i watch that part, i will feel so upset and uncontrollably cried my tears out. the uncertainty and insecure feeling that one will experience near their end...but things will be better when there's someone to walk the last journey with you...
finally, i would confess that i may not have understood some parts of the anime that well because the whole story is based on christianity, but i certainly learnt more bout the religion thru this series, and i thoroughly enjoy it.

Way to keep 'em wondering! When it comes to affairs of the heart, your lips stay sealed. Whether you've had your share of heartache or done the heartbreaking yourself, you know that not much good comes from kissing and telling.You're a passionate person who takes relationships to heart. While some people dish up intimate details of their love lives around the water cooler, you've got more respect for your sweethearts than to reduce them to email fodder. If your name happens to circulate through the rumor mill, it's only because you're so mysterious. Who says romance is dead? "
hmm...quite true...

P2K outing
today is friday, and friday got no work for the 1st time. wahahahaz. thanks to my boss who decided to step down my schedule for the last month of my contract. to think of it, i can't bear to leave some students coz they're so nice. sigh.. i guess separation is part of life and i'll just have to get used to it. Shopping spree today is youth day. i guessed it would be one of the last few times i'm celebrating it. uni got no youth day for goodness sake. aniway i got no work today and tml. good for me ritez? hahaz... Superman returns in the morning i went to teach my sci pract as usual and i'm actually early today lor. there wasn't much preparation work since i had done most of it ytd. sian la, my sci expt ended in 45min time... and i had another 45 min to burn. i let the kids run ard but they were soon bored after a while. i oso dunnoe wad to do with them. somemore my other colleague teaching the cooking class made me sushi. i ended up eating instead of teaching... (-_-"') pathetic... after all these stuff i stayed back a while to leave msg for the teacher coming to teach on tues..i won't be ard...sigh~ i got wad i want... i had a late nite yesterday and i'm feeling all fatique when i went to work. it's kinda messy today. everyone crowded in the same classroom coz my boss wanted the kids to familiarise with the new teacher at the same time, dun feel lost. and i din have chance to do my science pract preparation in the morning coz i'm so occupied with the sudden influx of chinese students. (the indian teacher can't possibly teach chinese like sinyan...) all these cost me my lunch...but i dun feel so hungry and i din wanna eat infront of the other teacher who's not eating too. hence i din bother bout my stomach for sometime. eventually i ended work at 5.30pm (thou i punched out at 5...) and by then, i'm experiencing nasty gastric pains. i bear with it. then after dinner, i fell asleep w/o bathing...when i woke up, i felt dizzy and worse pains. i'm so pathetic...
anyway, there's a p2k gathering man! hahaz. my mum was nagging me to hurry up with the meeting which had been brought forward by an hour, and i was rushing my heads off. when i reached there, none of the 2 gurz were there yet. somemore kim sms me tt she's still waiting for the train at admiralty when i was alr standing in front of amk control station. but i couldn't believe it too lor, i was mircally earliest. *applauded* when the three of us finally met, we headed for anderson straight.
kim and gurz were talking non-stop and i couldn't really chap in since i dun really know wad's going on in nanyang jc. tt's why i was keeping rather quiet and at some point of time, i felt non-existent. but it's ok la, i havent seen kim for a while and i'm kinda dumbfounded for a while, and hence it would be good if i observe the contents of speech for some time.
when we reached anderson and attempted to go to the security guard house to take a pass, we were told tt all the teachers had gone home and the cca had been cancelled since it was some moe exhibition thingy. yet we saw students walking within the premises and i wondered if the guard was tricking us away so tt he could save some trouble. nevertheless, we decided to head away from the school reluctantly despite the disappointment of the wasted trip, and move on with our own gai gai plans.
poor kim had no ezlink card since she just lost hers at home. she had to purchase the standard ticket which cost a bomb. eventually we went cityhall suntec to shop. hahaz, its my first time "shopping" in suntec. we entered topshop (my first visit) and some other branded shops (forgot the names alr). but it was all window shopping as they were so so so expensive. remember, i seldom buy clothes tt's more than 18 bucks. and i nv buy clothes tt more than 20 bucks. but tt is excluding stuff for ninja. strange tt i won't feel heartaches spending so much money for other ppl except myself. i'm a self-miser... back to the main topic, we went to sports link and nike looking for sports stuff for ah gurz and kim, but i wasn't really quite interested in those. so i slack ard the place, causing ah gurz to misunderstood tt i was feeling bored. nah. the prices are too unaffordable for me and i seldom believes in brands. u can call me a brand-unconscious girl, i dun care. later we came across a push cart selling printed t-shirts. the designs were so kawaii with ultraman, teddy bears and more, and the salesgirl was so pleasant and warm to us. kim and ah gurz couldn't resist but buy a t-shirt each. too bad t-shirts weren't my cup of tea, i dun particularly like round necks either.
there was actually a korean hip hop dance workshop tt kim's friend reccommended us to attend coz it was free. its at the youth park, 7.30pm. by the time we were done shopping, it was 6.45pm. plus travelling time, we might just barely be in time. unfortunately, i was wearing skirt, not suitable for big rough actions like hip hop, so the idea was scraped. we simply headed for dinner at one of the restaurants beside the fountain. it took us so long to decided which restaurant to settle with. some more we were distracted by this fountain laser dedication machine which we spent some time trying to dedicate songs to each other. at last! we found ourselves a place to dine at country mana (intended to go fish and co but it seems like a long queue...) the interior design was really relaxing. a pity i din take my camera along, my baby newgen can only do this much...(refer to the pic below)
hmm...kinda dim
the dinner was satisfying. we 3 had their specialties. as an appetizer, kim, me and ah gurz had chicken soups and mushroom soup respectively. the dough on the soup was quite nice, like delifrance bread. yummy. i was a bit full after the appetizer alr, but i had some time for digestion before my main course arrived. kim had a half spring chicken, ah gurz had a marinated teriyaki chicken or some sort, and i had a dory fish fillet with spice and fruit sauce. i must say, all of these tasted quite delicious! especially my dory, the spice is so immense tt i felt my tongue go numb at the first bite. simply shiok siah. and all main couse were served with one whole baked potato (not exactly so nice, but it's definitely a filler) and coleslaw. the manager was friendly too, as he kept checking on us, asking if the food was alright etc. such nice services, wow. we finally finished our meals at 9pm and settled the bills within ourselves. i ended paying abt 20 bucks, which isn't so bad. i think i'll visit country mana again sometime. yay.
as we were rather bloated with the feast earlier on, we decided to go to sky garden for a walk (also because kim said she nv go there before.) on our way, we got stuck in s&k coz i had my eyes on one of the $9 tops. too bad after trying it on, it was rather big for me. nvm... we finally reached sky garden and luckily it wasn't closed yet. we strolled about a while b4 deciding to take photos with our phones. as the lighting was poor under the moonlight, we went under one of the lamps near the fountain and managed to capture acceptably good photographs of ourselves.
ah gurz and me
kim and me
ah gurz, me, and kim
ah gurz was trying to take photos of us looking away after successfully taken one which she claimed to look like an advertisment. most of it wasn't tt nice... hahaz. it was rather late and we headed home alr. was quite surprised to see so many ppl hanging around in city hall. and the club in suntec was damn hell packed with white collars workers. i wonder how they breathe...
reached home and the by the time i sleep it was almost one. i forsee i'm gonna die tml. but i had a happy day, so it's ok.

went northpoint sakae and had light lunch. my sister's treat coz she found a job. tried a new dish...something called tatami wadsoeva. it's like a biscuit made of ikan bilis. wow.. the taste is not bad but the sight of the biscuits with many ikans' eyes embedded in it made me feel guilty ingesting them...
went espirit and guess wad? i bot a new shirt with my master card. hahaz. feel proud and xin tong. coz it's one of my few times where i buy clothes more than $12 for myself....now u can imagine wad kind of miser i am...but not really lehz... i dun feel so much heartache buying stuff for others... *dotz* later me and my sis shopped around for sometime b4 leaving to the pasar malam opp the street. and finally, went home.
it's a short outing, but better than nothing. i'm going to watch superband at home later for the 1st time. heez...

later i went to meet my ninja at northpoint. we went j8 to watch superman returns coz his safra card got discount for gv movie tix. $8 per tix lor. wow!! we shopped ard a little b4 we went to watch the show.
it was as usual, the old kind of opening. but actually i tot brandon ruth, the superman, is quite cute! hahaz. (since when i begin noticing cute guys...) he looks quite built in the show, he has pretty eyes, and he's good looking. i like him... but i have some comments on the outfit...it is rather tight fitting (lucky he got muscles), i can't help noticing the bulge in his pants which is rather obscene...yet i must compliment his bravery and courage for acting in this film since the previous actors are all pang tang...bout the film, thou some places are quite funny coz it's corny, the overall effects r good. this show reminds me of old superhero cartoons that i used to watch when i was young. if in real life, there's a saviour, i wonder how i'll be like...
after e show, me and ninja went thai express to makan. had pineapple rice and ninja had grass noodles soup. dessert was red bean paste with coconut ice-cream which tasted delicious...it was alr quite late after dinner and we had to rush back to cck. i asked ninja if he would be late, he said ya. i have a feeling that he's acting calm, but he's actually suppressing his temptation to give me a good scolding for dragging time again... i feel bad... on the train, it was rather silent for a conversation and in fact, i dun feel like talking animore since we were both nervous bout the time..plus the fact tt he's reluctant to let me lean on him... i guessed he's too lazy to start a conver too... i hate these moments coz it's really awkward and disgusting for a relationship... sigh... but luckily, rong kai came to our rescue... he suddenly appeared and chatted with ninja all the way to cck. i wonder why i wasn't able to make ninja so enthu. one day...when i really wasn't able to entertain ninja anymore, will he do the same thing as rong kai did to bernice?
i guess it's really difficult to maintain a relationship, especially now tt the x-factor is gone. i seldom feel sparks between us now, not even static when we touch each other in shopping centre...wad the hell....

i dunnoe to be happy or sad...my boss said tt i need not come (confirm alr) on tues and fri coz he wanted to run me out slowly and smoothly from the tuition centre. one thing for sure, i can finally get more rest and all the time i want for myself now. but again... i'll definitely have much lesser pay for the next month...and i'll really miss the students there, esp those in my nite class...wad a dilemma..
about yesterday...
30 jun 06
b4 i start, happy 29th moniversary ninja...love u for all the care and concern u've showered me for these days...may our r/s continue to stay strong... =)
today is the last day of the month of june. also means tt it's the last day for 2 of my colleague. i aint so close to one of them, but i'm closer to the other one who taught the same level as me for the past 5mths. isn't it amazing? time passed so quickly...i feel so lost and sadden when the tot of not having sin yan by my side appears in my mind thruout the day. the new teacher, an indian diploma lady, is quite nice, but i dun think i can clique so well with her...i dun like her perfume...btw, sin yan is very sweet, she baked cookies for me, actually and other students in tuition centre. and somemore wrote a short note for each of them. wow~ that must be time-exhausting. (wonder how she managed to do it...) hahaz, she also wrote 3 cards for me, but quite repetitive thou... yet i feel sad when i tot i won't be seeing her the next day and the rest of the month or even the rest of my life?! hahaz... somehow i have an urge to join the nus union camp so that me and sinyan can see each other again...
farewell cookies from sin yan...
this is the same feeling i had when wanlin left bloomdale last time... :(
anyhow, i went back home. and guess wad? i received my posb master debit card!!! after the long cruciating wait... finally man! but tt means my spending will probably increase...
