when things arent going your way
step back and breathe
forget the whys and the what ifs.
focus on the 'how now'
no matter how bad life seems to be
its faith and optimism that will help you pull through
life is not always a smooth journey
but its an easier journey if you make the best out of everything
hear what you need to hear
do what you have to do
i'll be right here beside you
take my hand
we'll walk thorugh this together

i dun mind waiting for another six months if it will give me a lifetime of happiness with you.

snapshots at NIE library. cheacher looking for resources. haha.

the whole week had been hectic. but, it was fulfilling. i love my kids.

so many thots in my head. too many. especially now that things arent going on too well for pipi. i'm helpless. i wish i can make him feel better. i wish i can make the pain go away. i wish i can make everything goes back to normal. but i can only wish. be strong dear.. this is a test from God.. embrace the difficulties... pray for strength. i can only do so much to be your pillar. life still goes on.. remember that dear. everything happens for a reason and He knows best. take this time to reflect. take this time to appreciate what we have. insyallah things will be fine.

me suzie and marlin had our virtual date yesterday nite.. as happy as i was that the three of us were telling stories over msn, i couldnt help feeling a tinge of sadness knowing that suzie is far far away. i miss u kuzzy. it was a great chat yesterday.. hope it can happen more often.

i went to my aunt's new place. oh my god. its g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. totally. its HUGE. i was soooooooo awed by the whole place. the amount of space.. the furnishing.. the lanscape.. sooo nice. so so nice. i want a place like that too. when? *shrugs*

looking forward to rest this weekend.

me and pram

the bio teachers-to-be..

shopping at bugis market..

testing with flash..

its already thursday.. wish time will just pass by sooo slowly.

had a good shopping cum sharing session with the bio teachers. heh. teachers to be i mean. been a long time since we saw each other!

bugis market suddenly had potential teaching clothes. the gurls went 'crazy' at the earring shop. we spent such a long time there!!

went to al-majlis for dinner. the serving was huge! gosh. sat and chatted and took some pics. thanks to deepa's new baby, her digicam. wonder when i am gona get mine!

gals.. i'm so glad we met up! very refreshing!

i'm going to science centre later. to the DNA lab. transformation of bacteria with GFP. *winks*

i had a great sunday evening with three wonderful girls. nad, reny and xuefen.

chilled at my aunt's condo till almost 11 before i sent all of them home.

i managed to park the car twice yesterday! first at bayshore, second back at home!! i am so proud of myself! hahahaha. it wasnt easy ok!!

i kinda enjoy driving alone. its so much less stressful when my parents arent 'judging!'. heh.

xuefen feels like having a condo after seeing my aunt's place. i so know how that feels.

congrats nad for getting a job! hope everything will go smoothly for u!!! mwah!

thanks reny for dropping by tho u ended late.. it was good to see u!

today is monday and its back to work. after a few days of resting, i feel recharged.

the next few days would be occupied by lesson plans, notes, worksheets and powerpoint slides.

meeting van, pram and deepa later. the bio teachers get together. i bet it will be a sharing session. and to distress ourselves too. heh. cant wait!

i am so bored. waiting patiently for six o'clock.. waiting for the car. fetching xuefen and nad later to go to my aunt's place. we just gona chill by the pool. wish the rest could join. sigh.

had a wonderful time with pipi yesterday.

he sprained his arm but the date still went on. i became his co-driver. he drove with his left hand.. and i was in charge of the gear. hehe. together, we make a good team. i am amazed that he can park with his left hand ONLY. that gives him every reason to mock at my terrible parking skills. haha.

hope your arm gets better dear.

i dreamt of suzie two nites in a row. first time i dreamt that me and pipi went to visit her in dubai. second time i dreant that she came down to singapore. guess i am really missing her. cuzzy.. i have not heard from u for a long time. if u happen to read this, i'm telling you that i miss u so much!

the march holidays are here and i am cherishing every moment of it.

gono find myself some work to do now. too bored now.

i really miss my other half.

cant wait for my favourite day of the week. saturday.. here i come!

i am in school now... *winks* just in case u are wondering how come i have time to blog.. its because i have no class today! there was cheerleading competition in the morning... and a staff lunch just now. the cheerleading competition was interesting.. reminded me of my TKGS days.

the one thing TK girls can do. Cheer. i think our scream at the end of the cheer is louder that the cheering itself. those were the days. when i had to be on top of the pyramid cos i was the lightest!

one of my sec 3 NA classes won the first place for the sec 3 level. the second place went to another of my express classes. yay!! not that i helped them... but they are my students!! doesnt matter what they win, i will always feel happy for them! hehe.

waiting for one of my colleagues to fetch me and the other trainee teachers.. we are going to Pasir Ris Park. I just realized that the kids will be watching the teachers run! gosh. i cant sprint for 200 metres!! i am not a sprinter at all!!! *help* so paiseh...

Blink. Blink. and its already three weeks of my practicum. how time files. seriously, time has never passed this fast. 24 hours a day now seems more like 18 hours a day. *gasp*

so.. hows everyone been? how have I been? heh.

lemme see.. where should i start?

i have been... busy. DUH. haha. i have been learning a lot of things. everyday is a different experience. its interesting that theres really so much learning going on in my life right now. I'm a baby who is learning how to walk. but the diff is, as i learn how to walk, i have to guide many others too. so, its not an easy task. if you like challenges, you'll appreciate the journey. i'm trying to make the most and best out of this.

students make or break your day. the beautiful thing is, they dun have to do much to make ur day. i love being with the kids. tho they arent really KIDS. i'm surprised that i am actually enjoying being around them. of cos there are difficult times but its not all the time. teenagers are an interesting group of people. i used to think i prefer primary school students.. but i think i have a different opinion now. maybe its too early to say. i duno.

its true that there is a lot of work to do. but i guess its the love for it that makes me willing. Dear God, let this faith stay with me. Insyallah.

Tomorrow is cross country. i am in the teacher's relay. heh. *can i jog?*

Pure dedication. Total committment.

The more you teach, the more you learn.

great saturday.

i think saturday is my favourite day of the week. *smilez*

pipi treated me to a hearty meal at Pizza Hut cos i have been working hard for the past two weeks. how thoughtful! It was a simple date yet very enjoyable. We were at Suntec Pizza Hut for one and a half hours. eating and talking. thanks for the treat dear!

Have you ever realized the wonders of wind?? it makes or breaks your day. When the sun is scorching hot and theres not even a slight breeze, i just feel like cursing everything. As pipi puts it, no matter how nice we dress up to go out, all it takes is just a really hot and humid day to make us feel super BLAH. i totally agree. i was thrown into an irritable mood cos of the weather.
We both agreed to stay indoors until the sun goes down.

And as if to prove our theory, the evening turned out to be really windy and me and pipi were both so happy!! see.. the difference wind can make!!!

me and pipi sat by the fountain at suntec.. enjoying the wind and listening to some lovey dovey songs from his Ipod Shuffle. Beautiful moments.

Every moment with you is a moment I treasure.
