i need a pretty bedsheet for my room. i have two funky ones rite now thanks to my gfs who gave them to me for my birthday.. i want a pastel pink one.. with embroidery and flowers. sweet kan..
i cant wait to have my own house. i've always been into home decor. i remember designing my dream house when i was a kid. thruout childhood, i'd pretend that i'm living in a huge beautiful house..with a garden full of roses. while some kids have an imaginary fren, i have an imaginary house! and that house changes as time passes by. i'd look at magazines, be mesmerized by what i saw... and every day, i just told myself that when i grow up.. i want a beautiful house. till now, i still have that dream. cos i believe that a happy family starts from a beautiful home. of cos, beauty here lies in the eyes of the beholder. it doesnt matter if others dun find ur house gorgeous..as long as to u, it is the best place u can ever be. it may not have a luxurious sofa or chandliers or expensive art pieces.. but its something that u build from your own creativity and your own interpretation of heaven. in fact, this dream is one major push factor thruout my schooling days.. cos i'd always tell myself that i must study hard, get a degree and establish a good career.. good enuff to give me a comfortable life..
i did study hard. i got my degree and my job is my passion. I thank God for blessing me with opportunities that bring me a step closer towards my dream. tho i'm still quite far from that dream house, i'm working hard towards it. i knw i sound very idealistic. i've always been like that. but now, i also know that as much as we plan and dream, not everything is within our control. so no matter how much you want something, dun pin all your hopes on it.. cos if things dun work out the way you want it to be, then you'd be too disappointed and lose all the faith.

ytd, i attended the sec 4 graduation ceremony. it was just a simple ceremony. but, it was like teacher's day part II. only that, it was also a farewell kinda thinghy. tho i only take half a graduating class, i could already feel the touching-ness of the occassion. it was really sweet when students show their appreciation.. *it doesnt happen on every other day ok!* hehe.. me being the super emotional girl, actually felt like tearing. but i maintained my cool and held back the tears.. cos it would be so embarrasing if i actually cried!!!
anyway, i realise now what they mean when they say that "teaching is a rewarding career". i dun think money can buy the kind of feeling i got ytd.. it was just special. so, i shall remember that moment and remind myself of it in times of stress and struggle. *smiles*
spent the night with my colleagues.. actually they are more of friends!! had dinner at secret recipe and some coffee aft that.. good to chill with them on a fri nite.. its only when the kids are having exams that we can do that! hahaha. thanks jimmy for the ride home. muahahaha.
rite now, i have three stacks of sec 1 papers to mark. and my bio essays.... *faints*
cant wait to break fast at my grandma's later. love it cos i KNOW there would be awesome food. hehe. the hari raya mood is getting more intense.. with the continuous playing of the raya songs on radio.. and my mum has started baking.. so the smell of cookies at home simply makes me happy... i haven helped one bit cos of marking. haha. *yapz... i am planning to escape from it actually..hahahaha*
cant wait to meet my gals tmr. mwah.

i cant believe i am still up at this hour. must be because of the tea i took just now.
spent my whole afternoon with my colleagues. we window shopped at parkway..then headed to Geylang.. heh.. it was a good first time for me.. *smilez*
went to geylang AGAIN at nite. this time ard it was to collect my hari raya outfit..!! yes...! i have finally bought it!! woohoo. this year's colour is maroon! yay. been wanting to wear maroon since like five years ago! yeah. that long.
i saw another outfit that i really like just now. my initial reaction was " oh man.. i shd have bought this instead!!" gosh. was seriously tempted to buy a second piece. thank god my mum and dad did a good job in psycho-ing me not to buy. the moment i reached home, i tried on (AGAIN) the outfit that i bought. hmm.. interestingly, it looks better at home than when i tried in the shop. prolly cos the shop was squeezy and there were just too many clothes there. heh. now i am convinced that i dun have to buy a second outfit. yay!! i'm happy with my buy. *smilez*
one and a half class down. many more to go. this weekend, i am a full time marker. and prolly a part-time assistant to my kueh maker ( my mum of cos . duh. )

good morning to the world. rise and shine :)
been a long time since i blogged. this morning i am rather fresh cos i slept pretty early ytd! i was so tired that i slept in my working clothes! sheesh.
anyway, let's do some updating..
In school..aka WORK... the kids are finally having their exams. a good break for me in terms of teaching and lesson preparation. but that doesnt mean i am shaking legs now. hehe. theres still some other paper work to do..and now that my papers are in, my time would be occupied by all the marking that i have to do by WEDNESDAY. *faints* when i looked at the bio essays, it finally hits me that i have to read 129 essays! ooh man.... i'd prolly need a red bull and lots of patience. hahahaha. oh by the way, i was sooooo freaking nervous when my kids sit for the paper that i set. checked on them a few times. for a 2 hr 15 min my heart was beating pretty fast!
Out of school.. aka LIFE.. me and my dearest made our 6th year mark on 9th October. It was spent in a simple but great way. i had the car for that day and we drove around.. chilled and talked.. something that we have not done for a very long time. yeah.. my career was putting me in an extremely tight schedule for quite some time. life's sweet when u just stop to breathe and appreciate what you have. and that very blissful moment would give u the strength to go thru another cycle of everything. a good six years it has been. may god bless us and may that happiest day come. insyallah.
i have been thinking a lot about the things i need to buy or get.. basically what i need to pay for. and oh boy.. its a long list that will burn a big hole in my small pocket. hehehe..
things i need to pay for:
1) melbourne trip (this is the ultimate bomb..expenses excluding air fare... thank god i've cleared the air tix.. phew)
2) Hang bao !!! ( i got many cousins and what-nots to give ok!)
3) pipi's ray ban sunglasses
4) heels
5) handbag
6) a hair cut
7) perfume (maybe i should wait for my bday for this... hahahaha)
8) bday presents for two of my dearest gfs
9) sandals
10) blusher
things on hold but i still want to get:
10) levis jeans
11) topssssssssssssss
12) dresses
13) skirts
hmm.. long list rite... well the first list has got to be 'fulfilled' first. maybe to start off, i'll go for the hair cut this afternoon. heh. ok dokies.. the time now is 6.05 and i better get dressed for work!
have a great day people. mwahz.

bad day. again. i am now a firm believer that i am very suay. yap. i'm always there at the wrong place and wrong time. anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the most wrong time.
we show compassion. but do they deserve it?
we forgive and forget. but do they repent?
maybe its time i learn how to be cold.
heartless and emotionally detached.
for the love of it, i feel.
for the love of it, i'm broken.
the moral of the story is,
APPRECIATE kindness.
APPRECIATE ppl who care for you.
APPRECIATE ppl who believe in you.
treat others like how you want to be treated.
one important thing i learn today,
of all life values, RESPECT for others is the most important value.
my pillar of strength. i need you so. am i still welcomed?
