Day 07 – A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

im skipping DAY 06 cus i've got no favourite super hero and i hate super heroes! so here i am talking about DAY 07 now.


honestly, i dont know why am i always talking about my grandmother when the whole world already knows that I LOVE HER TTM! but somehow, the first person who crossed my mind when i read this title, was her.

she really has the biggest impact on me. i grew up with her during my childhood years and im closer to her rather than my own parents when i was young cus i was at her place almost 24/7 when my parents were working back then. like i said before, all her experiences and life lessons that she shared with me somehow left a deep inpression on me cus i could still remember them vividly even up till now.

WHY, you may ask. I DONT KNOW is the answer i would give. i, myself have no idea why the things she said made such great impact on me. you could basically say i grow up with all her valuable experiences and values she instilled in me. i was somehow the opposite of other children when i was young. i disliked watching all the favourite cartoons other children love and disliked playing games that other children played. i actually enjoyed sitting down beside my grandmother and listening to her old grandmother stories which other children dislike.

honestly, not that im being naggy for repeating this for the 10 000th time but i really wont be me if not for her. she's like the most important person in my life and im totally grateful for her endless love and guidance towards me. <3

Day 05 – A picture of somewhere you’ve been to

'just the way you are' by bruno mars just keeps repeating in my music playlist! its such a lovely song. :)

The Peak!

i love how you can see the whole of hongkong at the top and the really beautiful lightings!

this place is a must-go if you ever visit hongkong! and because its a must-go attraction, i forced baby baby to go with me thou it was raining and windy on that very day when i planned for 'the peak' trip. :( and we freaking wore really thin clothing that day! we were trying to take pictures on our own and there's this kindhearted angmoh who actually offered to help us take a picture which we politely declined! :) awwwww, i miss hongkong!

Day 04 – A habit that you wish you didn’t have

guess what? mom told me this in the morning.

mom: somebody is coming today to take measurements for your wardrobe.
me: why?
mom: to make a new and bigger wardrobe for you lar! your clothes are so overwhelming that your current wardrobe is not enough for you.

LOL.

anyway, i met my sueping dear today!! we had such a fun day out! i bought MMJ laptop sleeve and 2 pairs of shoes! we tried to hunt for bags and check wallets. zomg! i so much wanna get that LV bucket bag and i tried carrying it and it just looks ugly on me! :( but i so much wanna get sueping's YSL check wallet! :) oh well..

then we went on to tanjong pagar for our korean BBQ dinner! cheap and awesome food! cute korean boys to see as well! HAHAHA. nahh, they're not cute actually. LOL. after dinner, we went down to bugis and we bought KOI!! we even bought extras home! too good to resist you know! hehe. i tried ovaltine milk tea and green tea today. NOT BAD! but my favourite is still honey milk tea. :) oh yes! i bought KOI for willis too since im there and he's been craving for one for a long time! dropped by his place to give it to him and his mom gave me so much things to bring home! his parents are really good to me man! they would frequently call me out for dinner even like now when baby is not here and always have tons of things for me! im really grateful to them! :)

so anyway, let me touch on the topic of the day now.

Day 04 – A habit that you wish you didn’t have

i dont know? erm, perhaps eating junk food EVERYDAY? LOL. unbelievable?! but its true! i always have cravings for junk food EVERYDAY. i just cant resist chocolates, chips, icecream and many more! to make things worse, my mom would always stock up the junk food at home for me to munch on! i know its super unhealthy and its a very bad habit but im really thankful that i dont get fat easily. cus going by the rate that im munching on those junk food, normal people would probably get fat in a month. LOL.

Day 03 – A picture of you and your friends

zomg!! guess whats the happiest thing that happened to me today? I PASSED MY BTT!! LOL! i can officially get my PDL and start my driving lessons already! woohoo! :D



they are my besties for like what, at least 10 years? (: decided to upload old photographs cus they bring back so much memories! these were taken when we were probably 19 or 20 years old? look at how much we've changed over the recent years! i was still having my super straight, long and black hair and so was sueping dear! LOL! i believe we didnt change much in terms of LOOKS right! we still look as YOUNG as before! HAHAHA.

why the two of them in this post? cus they are such dear people to me! we've been through thick and thin together, they are always there for me be it rain or shine! i super love them man! even LOVE cant describe how much i treasure our friendships! :) you know how some people have tons of friends but when they fall, nobody is there to pick them up? i dont have tons of friends but im really lucky to have my favourite girls with me! <3 we shop together, eat together, talk together, laugh together, cry together and do things together! the only thing we havent get a chance to do together is really just HOLIDAYING TOGETHER! LOL. and trust me, i've seen for myself how lonely people can be when they actually have tons of friends. they yearn for that one bestie and yet, they cant even get it. on the other hand, people like me are much more happier and satisfied! :D

i just met bestie today for our cervical jabs. my arm is aching like hell now. im so afraid of needles!! i kept telling bestie how scared i am when we're both inside the room! LOL.

and anyways, im meeting sueping dear this saturday for shopping plus awesome korean BBQ dinner!! i cant wait man! im finally meeting her! woohoo! :D

beer market on a friday night

i was being pulled along by lois to chill with rachel after class last night. it turned out to be a really bad night (for me)! LOL. come to think of it, there has never been a good night for me when it comes to going out to pubs for drinks. blame it on my really bad alcohol tolerance. :(

so, the three of us went to clarke quay and we walked randomly into this pub 'beer market'. we ordered beer and guess what? i was drunk after like approximately half a cup? i really couldnt take it! and here comes the drama. 3 guys walked over to our table and bought us drinks. they sat down and started chatting with us. they bought us beer and bought me red wine. wth. i didnt even touch anything at all cus i know i cant take it anymore.

in the end, i felt so drunk that i had to run to the toilet to puke! LOL. after puking, lois and i decided that we need to leave. i really wanna get home to sleep. lois also didnt like what was going on so we went back to our table and told the rest we had to go back. rachel still thought she haven't had enough of fun and decided to hop over to shanghai dolly with those guys for second round of drinks. omg.

so while we walked out of the pub, the guy who kept talking to me walked beside me and said this to me, "hey joanne, this is not a lousy pickup line but i think you look like jamie teo." i totally cant be bothered with what he said and at the back of my mind, i was actually thinking that its actually a pretty lousy pickup line. LOL!

so, i reached home and dropped dead on my bed and woke up with a terrible headache this morning.

the live band that night. i heard that the singer was one of the top 10 finalists in singapore idol. im not sure which season thou.

lois.

rachel.


my face and body were obviously turning red and look at my cup. its barely even half a cup lor!

trust me, this will be the first and the last time ever. im not drinking without my close peeps anymore, nobody knows me better than them. :)

sueping was so sweet!! she smsed me cus she's worried about my safety the moment she learnt that im going drinking. lois wanted me to sms her once i reached home and of course, my baby baby who's worried sick about me for the whole day yesterday. <3

Day 02 – The meaning behind your Tumblr WordPress name

the meaning behind my blogspot name? i dont know? i created this blog when i was 16. during that time, this name just came up on me and i decided to just use this name since then. yup, simple as that, no particular meaning behind the name of my blogspot.

what a really lame post. LOL. anyways, holidays are here!! but there's seriously nothing much for me to rejoice about except for the fact that baby baby is coming home in 1 month's time!! other than that, its work and school as usual.

my btt is on next tuesday. gotta stay home and do my final revision this weekend. im actually pretty much excited towards my first driving lesson. hehe.

my dead blog revived.

i realised a deleted blog can be revived by just a click, so here i am blogging away again. writing journals is a part of me, asking me to stop writing is equivalent to asking me to maim my hands. even thou im so busy nowadays, i practically dont have that much of a time to sit down and blog regularly like how i used to, but this blog has been with me since eons ago. it contains so much of my dramatic life like what yvette would describe my life as. thou most of the archives are gone, i still cant bear to delete away this blog. pisceseans are a bunch of sentimental people.

i was having some issues with myself since thursday. i swear its a total bad deepavali for me, an angry one i would say. i cant accept the fact for some reasons and one of the reason was cus 我是一个公私分明的人。 i draw a very clear line between work and my private life. whatever i did at work and however im like after work are two different matters for me. i act and do differently during and after work. i dont like colleagues to know much about my private life and the same goes for my friends and family. they dont know how im like at work and i consider this as one of the good points about me.

so, after i calmed down and reflect on this whole issue, i realised i shouldnt give up on blogging just cus of certain people. perhaps yvette is right, its not worth it to give up on something that i like to do cus of them. this blog is a public property of mine, everybody else who knows about this site has every right to read about everything i wrote in here. there's no way i can argue about this. and i have a clear conscience in my actions and words. i always give my best at work, i always say i want the best for my students, i always say i've this passion for teaching and not to forget, i adore the sense of satisfaction my job gives me. i enjoy what im doing and i definitely wont just stop here.

i dont like to get myself involve in all sorts of politics you'll encounter at work. whatever i hear, whoever who tells me anything, i'll just listen and forget about it. im definitely not someone who likes to go around telling tales and get myself involve in all these nonsense. i go to work, i do my job and i get my pay every month. thats it. i mean, come on, im not that childish and silly to make myself miserable everyday at work. and in any case, im dealing with children and parents and this alone is enough to give me headaches, so why do i wanna make myself feel even worse by playing politics with my colleagues? that is why, for you curious beings out there, if you're waiting for the day when you can read about me ranting about my colleagues, you'll never be able to see the day coming cus its just not happening.

and this includes my boss. whatever i've written about her so far are all good things about her cus one, i really think she's a good boss and two, she deserves all that praise from her subordinates and that includes the rest of my colleagues. so, just continue to be jealous of the good relationship between the two of us. sometimes, this is what people call, chemistry. i totally believe in having that chemistry for people to click.

犯错了就要勇于承认错误。 to err is human. nobody is perfect and the same goes for me. im not the perfect teacher out there, not the perfect daughter, not the perfect friend and not the perfect girlfriend out there. but im willing to learn from my mistakes and improve from them. im still undeniably young and the experiences that i have cant be compared to anyone of you out there. i've never been disrespectful to anyone whom i think deserves my respect. so, doing something like this behind other people's back will definitely, absolutely lose that lil respect from me.

anyway, who am i to start things with? im just a nobody. so why are you so curious about me? where did that curiosity inside you come from? even after days of reflection, i still cant figure out the link between everything. bizarre and scary at the same time.

my life is seemingly so interesting eh? so captivating that so many people cant take their eyes off my blog. well, sometimes people just need a lil entertainment to keep themsevles occupied i guess? maturity doesn't comes with age and doing this just proves me even further the credibility of this statement.

and its only now then i realised that it doesn't matter if they wanna read about my life and know everything about me from head to toe cus i've nothing to hide. the only thing im mad about was the fact that i've failed to protect the closed ones in my life. i loathe the fact that all of you knows about all my closed ones in my life. i loathe the fact that im so naked in front of all of you now, letting all of you see who's my boyfriend, my besties, my family and all that stories about me.

however, like i said, i've nothing to hide. but i've learnt my lesson so there are of course some things that you wont get the chance to read anymore. its just saddening to know how despicable, pretentious and cunning this world can get.
