christmas!

im really so occupied nowadays that i dont have the time to blog dilligently. :( anyways, here's the long overdue christmas post that i wanted to blog about but just couldnt find time to do so till now.

baby and i decided to organise a small party at his house during christmas eve and it turned out that most of my friends couldnt make it except for huimin! she's such a great friend, always here for me without fail! :)

we had a mini bbq potluck party and damn, now i kinda miss the bbq food! chicken wings and sausages!!



look at my bengster boyfriend and his friends.

after dinner, we got bored and started playing poker games.




and the loser has to...


DRINK!

but NO! im not drunk that night. i drank really little that night! baby baby was so worried that i'l get drunk. LOL.

after a few more rounds of games, we went out to eat supper and we went to bed at 530am!

and baby's parents bought me a tiffany and co. bracelet for christmas present!! they even engraved my name on it!! (:

on christmas day itself, baby's family and i had hotpot/steamboat for dinner at his place. after dinner, baby, willis and i played mahjong till late night before we went to bed.

that sums up my chrsitmas for 2010. :) well, thou i've been complaining about being bored most of the time, but it beats having to go outside and squeeze with everyone, doing nothing on the streets!

Day 16 – Another picture of yourself

im skipping DAY 15.

good hair day plus awesome grey eyes! :D

now you know why i focus so much on hair? cus hair can make you or break you and its damn true! on days when you are having bad hair, you just feel lousy about yourself, dont you? it happens for me. when im having bad hair days, i just freaking feel like stepping into the salon and let the professionals save my hair! but on days when im having good hair, it just makes me feel goddamn good about myself! like im the CHIO-EST girl on earth! HAHAHA.

i dont believe in theories like trying different hairstyles for as long as you live cus

1. you wont know if the styles suit you and NO, not every professionals know cus half of the time, they just wanna earn your money so they'd probably tell you to try something new.

2. generally, hair takes a longer time to grow so once you got the wrong hairstyle, you probably need to live with it for at least half a year to a year for your hair to grow long. (this is really sad!)

3. once you found hairstyles that suit you, stick with them! no doubt, you might feel sick of your ever-so-boring hairstyles but its better than having other hairstyles that dont suit you at all right?

so for myself, im definitely a fan of long hair cus long hair suits me best. i just cant bring out the stylish short hair looks like others do. furthermore, i can do many different styles with long hair. i can play with it as and when i feel like it or i can do up different hairstyles for different occassions.

i guess the shortest i'll ever cut would probably be shoulder length hair. the last time i had shoulder length hair was when i was 17.



or this!



look at the mid length curls! so cute yet feminine right?! but its not easy to maintain man! so the safest bet would be just straight shoulder length hair with slight curls at the ends. i really feel like cutting my hair but i cant bear to part with my long hair! :(

Day 14 – A picture of you and your family




when the whole world turn their back against you, your family will always be there for you. ♥

there's so much gratitude inside me and so many people to say 'thank you' to; my parents, my brother, my aunts, my grandparents and just everyone else in my family. THANK YOU ALL FOR LOVING ME, PAMPERING ME AND TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME! ♥

Day 13 – A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

ANOTHER POST! cus im bored stiff! right, actually i should continue with my assignments but screw them now man! im not in the mood to do work. i work better at night so maybe i'll continue with my half-done work tonight.

im skipping DAY 12 cus its really lame. -.- i found out about blogspot through reading friends' blogs and i made one cus i enjoy jotting down my happenings. i still keep my diaries which i wrote in primary school! now that i flipped open my diary, i cant help but laugh at myself for being so silly and kiddish back then. its all memories, nice memories! :)

Day 13 – A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Dear SOMEONE,

by the end of this letter, you should know that im talking about you. i've so much to tell you but at the same time, nothing to tell you too. you gave me a good first impression and thats what that counts cus first impression matters the most to me. i really thought you are different from others but you somehow, turned out to be the same as the rest. maybe the only difference would be you really showed me the care and concern that i need and never neglect me no matter how busy you are, always there caring for me, always there waiting to know hows my day, always there to make me happy and always there to tell me how happy you are to have me. for that, i really appreciate your endless love, care and concern.

i guess conflicts are inevitable cus we're dealing with humans. how can any humans live without conflicts? two persons coming together, there are bound to be conflicts for sure. conflicts doesnt matter. what matters most is the aftermath of everything. how we deal with this, how we overcome this and how we grow together from this. hurt and pain, as much as i really dont wanna face them but i still did. cus we're dealing with our hearts, where all our emotions and feelings come in.

it not the first time you've hurt me and yet i always forgive and forget cus you're all that matters to me. for all that we're facing now, i hope we can go through this together and grow together as one. maybe all we need is just a little space for ourselves. no matter how big the fight is, no matter how mad we are, no matter how hurt we feel, i still love you and i know its the same for you.

You are everythin' in my life see the joy you bring
And ain't no one I can compare you to
And I know that you will never walk away from me no matter what
And that's why I plan to do the same thing for you
And I want you to know
And I don't care what they say I'm gonna be with you


Love,
ME

Day 11 – Another picture of you and your friends

im skipping DAY 09 and 10 cus i've done nothing to be proud of in the past few days. its work and school, what else is new? but last night was the last class for the year! im having a 3 weeks break from school! woohoo! :D my group mates sabotaged me, asking me to do the hardest part, editing and compiling of everything! why me?! :(

DAY 10 is just simply not something i'd like to talk about. songs that i listen to? i listen to all kinds of songs when im happy, i listen to sad english songs or JAY CHOU when im sad (JAY CHOU WORK WONDERS!!), hyped and mad? i dont know. basically, i listen to all kinds of songs except for metal and techno.

alright! another picture of my friends and i!

christmas 2008 (christmas is coming, so must post this to 配合一下! LOL.)

you know people do classify friends into different categories, like how which friend you'd call to shop with, which friend you'd call to do certain things together with and which friend you'd call to talk with. she's someone whom i'd call when i need to talk. she's mature, understanding and i feel that she's a rather good listener plus advisor. i always feel better after talking to her when im down. i guess its all about chemistry. we've known each other for 6 years, not exactly long and we dont really hang out together that often but we really do talk to each other whenever either one of us needs a listening ear. it becomes a natural reaction for me to go to her whenever im down.

i just met her recently like 2 months back or so for steamboat. i whined to her about my work issues that i met with and i went on and on, telling her how angry i was about the whole incident! and guess what? she's the only one that i actually told the whole story to other than baby baby. amazingly, after talking to her, i felt better that night! and she takes really good care of me, just like how a big sister would take care of her younger sister. :) i treasure her a lot because i know its not easy to be able to find someone whom you can share secrets with. YVETTE YEO, I SHOULD GO OVER TO YOUR HOUSE FOR SLEEPOVER! THEN WE CAN TALK ALL NIGHT LONG TILL WE FALL ASLEEP! :D


she loves me like anything in the world. she treats me as her bestest friend she could ever have. she meets me almost every week just cus baby baby told her to and she dont want me to be alone, she wanted to squeeze with me at the back of the car instead of sitting in front when her boyfriend sent me home cus she dont wanna leave me alone, she gave me FOC concealers that she bought from her workplace thou i insisted on paying her back, she wanted to get the grey mickey mouse for me cus she knows i want it, she always come to me for advice and not any of her other friends cus she thinks that i give good advice. basically she just does everything with me! :)

what am i gonna do without my girlfriends? <3

Day 08 – Short term goals for this month and why

i cant believe myself. im freaking busy these days and i actually update this space more frequently than usual. i guess its cus of this 30 days challenge that made me got my blogging vibe back eh? LOL.

alright, back to the topic of the day, short term goals for this month...

1. get ALL my assignments done!!

2. get my PDL and start on my first driving lesson

3. get my classroom and work done by THIS WEEK

4. LOSE WEIGHT (actually this is on-going)

5. shop for presents by next week!

6. shop for LV bag/YSL check wallet

7. shop for bracelets/anklets (i've been wanting to get an anklet for months! even thou i heard some supersitions about having anklets on your legs, espeically those with bells on, but i still feel like getting one! YAY OR NAY?!)

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.

my everything



watching this video totally reminds me of baby baby, those days when he took care of me when he's here with me.

the times when i felt down at work and whined to him about the bad days and he'd always reply me with "dont worry baby, in 6hours' time, you'd probably forget everything when i see you tonight again." miraculously, true enough, i'd always feel happier when i see him again. and not to forget how he took care of me when i stayed over at his place; how he rubbed medicated oil on my tummy for me when i complained that my tummy hurts and how he took care of me and put me to sleep when i was drunk. those days were pure bliss. ♥

come to think of it, he was always there for me for the 3months plus when he was here with me. we were always there for each other, be it during the ups or downs. this is what i adore, never leaving each other alone no matter what. :) even at times like now when we're apart, we'd still make an effort to listen to each other's worries and woes. i know he likes to care for me and i love to care for him too. we're gonna overcome the long distance okay baby baby? i have absolute faith in us cus i know im a good girlfriend and my baby baby loves me the most. ♥

love aside...

sometimes even i cant believe i have such accurate sixth sense. maybe some of you might think its bullshit or coincidences or whatever, but i really do have this kinda scary intuition thingy that allows me to somehow sense signs and omens of bad things happening to my family or anything related to me. weird enough, no, i cant sense anything bad happening to my friends.

it was yesterday when i suddenly had this weird intuition that something bad is gonna happen to me. i wasn't feeling good till i went to sleep cus i decided to brush the bad feeling aside thinking that... im gonna quarrel with baby again. LOL. cus for the past 3weeks, whenever i quarrelled with him, this bad intuition will come to me. however, when i went to work this morning, i kept thinking about it. its impossible that the intuition is trying to tell me about baby cus we had been really good and fine.

and guess what?

i received a bad news this afternoon. grandma was admitted to the hospital cus she had another fall again. i just asked my mom and heard from her that her bone was fractured and need an operation. however, due to other complications, she might not be able to have the operation and if she cant go for the operation, she might need to be hospitalised for 3 to 4 months! :( mom said grandpa suffered from the same problem before he passed away. you know.. fell down, bone fractured, gotta stay in the hospital for a long time but before he can even survive that long, he was gone in just 2 weeks' of hospitalisation. :(

not that im trying to sound negative, but my sixth sense is telling me that something bad is gonna happen again. yes its scary i know.. sometimes i hope my sixth sense wont be that accurate but time and again, they always come true! :(

i love my grandma a hell lot cus she really dotes on me a lot. i will never forget the days when she would always come early in the morning and fetched me over to her place when my parents went to work, the times when she told me about the world war II stories she went through, the times when she told me about how she met my grandpa, how fierce grandpa was, the times when she told me about her younger days, how she took care of her parents and her younger siblings, the times she shared many of her life experiences with me. i'll never forget the days when grandpa fetched me home from kindergarten everyday, taught me to do my homework, brought me to the playground everyday, buy tidbits for me everyday, walked me to school everyday when i was big enough to go to primary one. grandpa gradually became old and third aunt was the one walking me to school everyday when i was in primary three.

my grandparents and my third aunt were the ones taking care of me and looking after me when i was young. when grandpa passed away, i was only 11. even thou i had so much gratitude towards him, i cant express them out at all. i just felt really sad when he's gone, when nobody is gonna buy me tidbits, teach me homework or bring me to the playground anymore. so, im really thankful i still have my grandma with me. she taught me a lot of things, all the valuable life lessons and without her, i probably wouldnt be what i am today.

so god, buddha, or whatever deities above, please let her be alright. mom said she didnt eat anything at all the whole day today since she was admitted. please grant her strength and let her be strong enough to go through this ordeal just like the last time.

she's all that i want in a girl ♥

the title sounds so gay huh? HAHAHA. but its true. she's understanding, nice, caring, lovely and i think she could be the best girlfriend any guy could have in the world. its their loss for not knowing how to cherish such a lovely girl like her. :)

life is like a roller coaster ride, there's ups and downs at certain points in life. but when everything else goes wrong, when you really need someone to lend you a listening ear, who's always there for you? im lucky cus my favourite girls will always be there. im really grateful to yvette for being there for me even during late nights when everybody else should be sleeping, she's awake, giving me encouragement and support when i needed someone to share my woes.

met her on my children's day off on friday for dinner and ktv. we coinicidentally wore matching outfits, nautical stripes! LOL. anyway, i totally love this maxi dress that i wore out! anyway, i was having some jay chou concert in partyworld, singing one whole chunk of his songs, admiring him for his piano skills. LOL. seriously, guys who play piano are just so mesmerizing!






thanks for being there for me always, lao jie! ♥ you loads!

happy 1 month since baby flew back!

i know the title is really lame but its you know.. one of those i-run-out-of-titles-to-put days! :) but then again, the truth is baby is gone for 1 month already! time flies eh? 2 more months before i see my baby baby again!

anyway, life is busy as usual, busy with work and did i mention that i went for my school's orientation last wednesday? the school is goddamn strict with all the rules and regulations. GPA must be higher than 2.50 to graduate, cant be late for classes for more than half an hour if not you'll be marked as absent thou you're present, no late submissions for projects or assignments if not you'll either be marked down by a grade or you'll get a F straight away. i told myself im gonna strive for a GPA 3.00 at least!

attended teachers' day dinner last friday. colleagues teased me and said that night was 'Joanne's night' cus i was up on stage thrice. first for long service award, next up i won a coffee maker in the lucky draw (i gave it to my colleague in the end since its useless to me and family) and lastly, i went up the stage for a game. i was really reluctant to participate in the silly game but was forced by the emcee to go up. the emcee for the night really kinda likes me? he was flirting with me openly on stage while playing game. my goodness. i was so freaking embarrassed with all his teasings! food was bad, sucks to the max. pastries and cakes were lousy as well, not in the least bit satisfying at all.

went out with bestie to bugis on sunday. we, err no, correction, I went on a major shopping spree. bought home a pair of wedges, one maxi dress, one shirt, one skirt and earrings. i saw a polka dot cropped top and i was kinda tempted to make it mine but after hesitating for a long time, i didint purchase it. should i go back for it?





half day tomorrow, children's day outing and friday off, long weekend yo! :D

mad busy from october onwards.

somehow or rather, i wish for october and november to come and go quickly so that i'll be able to see baby baby soon in december again.

but then again, i kinda dread the arrival of october and november as well cus i'll be really busy when school starts in mid october and i finally went down to BBDC after work today. i registered and booked my BTT in november. i finally took the very first step out towards learning driving. not to forget, work is gonna be really busy as well with all the graduation concert, rehearsals, portfolios, PTC and so on.

wow, im amazed at my busy schedule, things that need to be done on my agenda.

1. school
2. driving lessons
3. work

these 3 things are gonna be my short term goals for the next 2 years and obviously they are gonna take up most of my time as well. im probably packed with work and school during weekdays and driving lessons during the weekends. leisure? no, dont think i'll have time for that. even if i manage to squeeze some time out during the weekends, it'd probably be used for doing assignments and projects.

i've seriously thought of quitting my job and concentrate on my studies till i graduate. however, the position that im holding now is of great advantage to me. i really want this experience so that when i graduate 2 years later, i could easily apply for a supervisory post in other schools with the experience that i once had. should i quit or should i stay?

driving is perhaps something that i would stretch over a longer period of time to complete cus by looking at my busy schedule now, i cant really fork out extra time for driving lessons except for the weekends, which is like maybe the most, once or twice per week? furthermore, with my slow understanding and grasp of controlling the car, i'd probably take forever to be ready for the practical test. LOL.

they say time pass faster when you're busy with tons of things to do.

i really want december to come fast cus i miss baby baby so much! no matter how busy i will be, he'd still be constantly on my mind. i'd still want to spend that measly 3 weeks with him amongst my busy schedule and so on. we've agreed to spend every single day with each other when he comes back cus time is never more than enough for us. somehow, i learnt something from this long distance relationship. i learnt to treasure him and our relationship more cus the separation makes me yearn for him more and treasure our love more.

we've talked about dreams together 2 years later, happy and lovely dreams. i would really love to fulfil them for the both of us. :)
