i noe of people that adore places. some adore taiwan..(may 07) some adore the rustic charm of thailand..(may 08) i tink i adore the quaintness of isle of wight, the sea...(oct 06) i tink i adore the warmth of being wrapped up like a dumpling in winter in salzburg..(dec 06) there is no one place i truly adore. (mebe venice tt ive been to twice) (mebe japan tt im on my way to in dec) but im still searching.
i'll see u when i get there wherever there may be.
there have been so many things fleeting thru my mind i haven been able to grab on to any and get down to doing things. there are stil as many assignments to deal with. but im glad those group work that stil exist are work tt im doing with sane ppl tt will keep me sane. lazy ppl will remain in their own world. period.
sometimes i duno if im being too critical, too extreme, or just simply too easily affected by these ppl that somehow drop into my life for a cameo role. im happy in ep2 class, my tutor is sweet, i kidnapped 2 more hons ppl into my class, and i have a happy small cosy grp of sarah shyuan n tantan. i harboured the evilest but most honest thots in my mind. but im glad its all solved and we have left her with some space for her to exercise her grp forming skills. its qt enough to get my hair tangled with these stuff all over agn.
its my lovely frens that keep me sane. frens that i adore keeping. frens that u wear silly hats for. frens that u quarrel with the restaurant manager for. frens that u just sit at the edge of the river and watch ppl being catapulted from the reverse bungie thingy and chat and lose track of time with. frens that u dont mind being ugly for. frens tt u can jump for joy with! and frens that acknowledge ur talent in sparkler writing. its a safety zone that im addicted to. but i should slowly retreat and get down to the irritating but compulsory points of life. get on get going with things. then i will fall back agn.
i dont want to sound like a person who likes to complain.
but when: keep quiet during discussion - ok no initiative - fine too long nv touch lit = blur n confused me for awhile - bear with it give me slipshod work - WTH
ep1 essay is finally done! kudos to last minute work. and i dont even know how we are supp to hand in the essay tml. so fun ah. and guess the individual breakdown of the grp proj thing we not doing liao ah..cos nobody said ANYTHING.
and now im trying my bestest to squeeze the ink out of my cartridge! the colour is turning grey..haha..
the week has been a whirl. presentations over by the truckloads. then was the festive season. ive nv felt so surprised before, since a longlong time, not even my 21st. the 'evil' people in n*e should all be in drama club (perhaps mebe not naf)..haha..since she nearli let the cat out of the bag.. ive had loadsa coffee intake this week too so i hope i dont become a coffee bin.
wed was the journey to orchard on board a cab in the rain day..had breeks w the 3 bimbos (sexy naf n sarah) then shopping (where i got my headfones) and stop over at starbucks!
thurs was the dae they all wanted to pretend it was any other normal dae..but i was ok cos pbl was ok and they did manage to paiseh mi in the canteen by singing the bdae song..(ew started it!) and there was another coffee session in jp coffee bean cos eng class got cancelled.
and fri was the final ploy! finished my most caring teacher speech and then they all started abandoning me to go home/hall. cos the bimbos told me they would meet me for dinner on sat instead. and little tiny unsuspecting me followed tantan cos he was gg to changi for chalet so he cld send mi! and the ploy unfolded.
went to library, fetched my 4 funky monkey actor actress dress pretty/handsome frens (handsome, joani, xue n dawa) to supposedly go city hall for their respective hot dates, and tantan took some time to reach city hall (was tt on purpose im stil not sure), cd buying, clothes shopping...
what realli took me by surprise was how well tantan could pretend he was speaking to random ppl when the girls called him..when sarah can become gesl mate, naf can become mummy, and the fone call on the car for faisal became one from a 'nice' group mate..they were so normal! or mebe i tired easi to bluff la..
they were so freaked out when i saw them at the apple booth looking at stuff cos supposedly they were meant to disperse to their respective hot dates..but i thot nth cos i thot dawa juz wanted to look so they stopped tog..and i was looking at the classic contemplating to get it! we left them, then tantan wanted to do his smokebreak so we went to esplanade, meaning to get a guitar book for his sis, and then i was commenting i wanted sth warm n fuzzy for makan cos i hadnt had lunch..and he said he had just the thing in mind..
and as we walked into maxbrenners..my classmates popped out from nowhere and gave me the biggest shock in my life..i totally wasnt expecting ppl to transport themselves out from nothingness..haha..
all u masterminds out there..thanks for wasting braincells on me, and the main decoy tantan..u did a good job..haha..
all of u darlings rock! and of cos not forgetting the people who remembered: on fb, sms, and fone calls. =) so my wish (that was still in the making) has been fulfilled! her name is pinkiepod..haha.. and here are the highlights of the fotos...
and the celebratory mood continued as we chilled and bbqed tog and went for a spontaneous ktv session..*yawn*
everything is rolling along fine.. lit ppt tml..im teaching so dont laugh at me cos ive not done micro teaching w my classmates b4.. wed taking a rest (just listen to ppt so it wont matter if i forgot to bring my brains)... thurs will be edpsych ppt, ict discussion... and finally fri will b comm skills (where i get to be thick skinned and show off how caring i m as a caring teacher..sell myself!)
and ya juz heard in class there's this poodle who was found and now in spca..adopt him if u wish to! otherwise most probably he mite be put to slp.. this is the 2nd time this year ive heard of such stuff..i shd go set up some dog shelter when im a rich taitai..haha..
weekends are important to have a breather. yah i breathed in homework this weekend (as with all other weekends). and i only managed to do lit (one more page to type) and pbl script (last slide). i work too slowly. *pulls hair*
because the world does not revolve around u, i shall make it seem like it does revolve around me. because only blue chooses to be reflected, the sky is that colour. because i have the choice to listen to the songs i want to. because sometimes i dont realli have the choice. because sometimes i just feel weird and hope to indulge in my whims and fancies but often to no avail. because simply i wan to choose to sit by the beach and blow my troubles away. because i wan to look at the world through my tiny lens and imagine what it would be like to be tiny for once and hide in the cosy shell of mine that i have conveniently put away for qt a long time. because i choose to have a change of view. becuase im rather lost sometimes. because i dont realli understand. because
its been crazy and next week will be crazier still. but im thankful for my classmates and clutter free desktop which i have just cleared.
tues and wed were 2 days of 2am sleeping and to prove that it is detrimental: i woke up late on wed, woke up at 930 instead of leaving my house at the same time..time makes ALOT of difference ok..
and looking like a monster on thurs! taking nap in canA while tantan was having rivers discussion..haha..tea tt sexy accidentally bought for me didnt help at all..bleahz..
was good meeting with jx at coffeeclub to firm up places we want to go in osaka..and coffeeclub looked like a real nice place to chill and use internet..idea..haha..
and meeting renie spontaneously and getting a ride home thanks to james (i hope i din rem wrongli)!
and i had a yummy dinner with sarah jilyn n hot date at bistro 103 and thankew tantan for being bimbo and bloggin about it, pictures and all and collaging! haha.. "P.S. I don't usually blog about food or I post pictures of food... was forced by Jelena... haha." but i bet it was better than doing pbl..wahaha.. and i tink this picture is funni..i shot tantan first..then i said he very ugly lei..then i took sarah and tantan took jilyn (both pretty wor) then he took me...and say i very ugly oso..haha..hot date ma wat to do..haha..
there may be irritating ppl doing stuff with u but wat it all boils down to are the people who listen to u bitch and make u happy! thanks for the support to stop me from crumbling..to all my darlings thankew veryvery much..u all know who u are.. *winkwink* haha..
things i feel like doing: abduct tantan's ipod and earphones and look cool as he says going to the beach going to coffeeclub to do work ktv! to be continued..
i need to conserve energy for the next week! litdramapackage.pbl.commskillsspeech.ict

as usual i wish i nv needed to return..not that i dont miss all of u..but there was realli a sense of relief and fun over at kuantan...
albeit some stuff that irritated the daylights out of me, apart from some itchy bites, some ugly tan lines on my feet cos of my sandals (sarah's worse haha), apart from my headache caused by the heat..i thoroughly enjoyed myself. grp fotos will come when i get them.
after all, u gain some u lose some. here i m now losing sleep losing my sanity losing... gained a new fren gaining the post of new-age slave driver
"there i was eyes shut enveloped by water that blocked out the world blocked the sounds with its thickness blocked the sights with its darkness struggling to gasp for a breath of air suddenli there was no one and i just slipped into nothingness..."
sch is turning us all into siaodingdong..not onli the geoghons ppl hor..like me and sexy likes to laff in chorus...harharharharhar...our other new classmates are also abit of a dingdong...
here's an email from ew from the safety team... 1) Please pair up and have a buddy. The buddy system will ensure no one is left behind on the trip, and do inform us if your buddy is missing when we board the bus at any point. We will still do a headcount, but it will be safer because everyone still wants to come back to school to hand in all our assignments.
i rather go missing loh...ahhaa...
2) Do not leave valuables anywhere behind! Don't wear flashy accessories, and make it a habit to check if your passport and wallet is with you every time you leave a venue. Better to be safe than sorry! After all, your travel insurance doesn't cover the cost of replacing your passport!
3) Keep everything clean! Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures (and a few rock samples here and there as and when needed, but don't tell anyone). When you leave the bus, take your trash with you, dispose it in a proper trash can so that when you step into the bus again, it's not going to stink. Remember, you'll be spending more time on the bus than in bed!
yes we are gonna spend alot of time on the bus cos we are taking a coach to kuantan and everywhere else...i love rocks!
4) Bring your own medication. If you are on medication, bring your own and take what your doctor instructed. Don't be stupid and think you can skip medication for a day or two. It's not worth it! I should know. We can perform first aid when necessary, but we cannot dispense medication, so please don't endanger your life. You are not a panda; people will not raise money to save you. If you have medication, bring it along!
im not a panda but many ppl lub mi (not in a romantic way) (tan, since 2008).
5) Bring insect repellent! But don't bring scented ones as much as possible because they may attract sandflies. If you have no choice, please still bring any insect repellent you have.
i hope mine is considered unscented...i dowan to get bitten!
6) If are you bitten or stung by anything, snakes, bees, Dawa, scorpions, please don't panic! Seek help immediately and we will bring you to the nearest medical centre. Generally, if you see insects flying around, make sure you are downwind so they don't catch your scent. If you see snakes afar, back off slowly, because chances are they are more afraid of you than you it. If it's right in front of you, don't move! Snakes have poor eyesight and use their tongues to detect movement. If you don't move, they can't 'taste' you and won't think you're a threat. If you are bitten by a snake, don't run! Running will just make the venom travel to your heart faster since more blood is being pumped around the body. Pay close attention to what your attacker looks like so that the doctor will know which snake bit you and administer the correct anti-venom. Better yet, catch the snake by holding it's head so it can't twist back and bite you again. Show the snake to the doctor so they will know precisely what bit you in case you can't describe a snake to save your life. If you see Dawa, just be friendly. He won't bite unless provoked. He's really a very nice guy. Alright, sorry for the long email! Hope to see everyone all alert and happy tomorrow morning! Make this an awesome trap! I mean, trip!
makes ME worry about my safety for once..haha..
