Steven and I went to watch the fireworks again. It was beautiful. Kudos to Steven for managing to capture the fireworks somehow with my lousy idiot proof camera. The other people there were armed with tripods and camera with huge lenses. Will blog about the happenings when I'm feeling better....kindda tired now. 

Really

I really do not know what to say sometimes. When I talk about stupid small stuff you know that my heart is not with the company liao. Another sign is when I talk on and on and on and don't stop. I'm actually just entertaining myself amidst boring, unengaging company who likewise think so of the company (okie I know it doesn't sound logical :) Self entertaining, I'm bloody good at that.

I'm really tired. Please someone do a dance for me.

Weekend report

Alamat! The weekend just passes by so bloody fast! In less than 12 hours I will be meeting my pesky kids again. Heh ;)

Saturday was a terrific day man. Steven trooped over to my house and we made our way to Labrador Park. It's a really nice place with cliffs, sea view (although mired with PSA ships and oil refineries) and historic trails. However I did think that the entrance fee to the Secret Tunnel was a tad too expensive. It was like $9. Wah lau. Nice quiet place to go too, unlike crowded ECP.

Next we went to the Esplanade and waited for the fireworks. It was FANTASTIC. Too bad I didn't bring my camera. Never mind there's always next year! :)

Went to the gym today....was inspired by my friend's email and decided to try her fitness plan. It's drawn up by her fitness instructor (Yes she's a bloody rich pesky kid :P) But then hor, I'm one lazy bugger with a penchant for oily greasy salty food. heeh see how long I can last. The plan includes cardio, weight training, swimming, pilates and stretches. It's on a everyday basis. But I scaled it down to 3 days per week lah. Or else I die mah. Ran for like 40 minutes today, changing speed ranging from 7 to 11 and at differing levels. Could really feel my butt ache. Anyone interested in this fitness plan can just drop me an email. Note: this fitness plan is for losing weight..it's for stamina and muscle toning. Plus you must be relatively fit liao. Plus you must watch what you eat which is DAMN DIFFICULT FOR ME!!! stupid canteen with unhealthy food. :(

Tomorrow's the 30 lap day...piang see if I can drag myself to the swimming pool first....heh :P

Wah piang

NKF really had in in for them liao. Kenna left right centre by the public, media and some government officials. SM Goh's wife left NKF as its patron liao. I wonder why things got to this stage. Never I repeat never offend SPH. Unless you have a death/bankruptcy wish.

Some of my friends got their banks to stop their monthly contributions to NKF.

Teacher A: Wah lau I donate $10 each month! Might as well give it to my son. Bloody hell. Gold taps somemore. Allergic to stainless steel ah?

Me: Yah I stopped my contributions long ago. Contributing to community chest instead.

Teacher B: Hahaha only peanuts lah your $120 per year!

But peanuts or not is relative to each person's affordability. Anyway I guess Mediacorp might finally just axe the NKF shows that occurs every few months.

Cow

I Have to Write a Poem
but I really don't know how.
So maybe I'll just make a rhyme
with something dumb, like "cow."

Okay, I'll write about a cow,
but that's so commonplace.
I think I'll have to make her be...
a cow from outer space!

My cow will need a helmet
and a space suit and a ship.
Of course, she'll keep a blaster
in the holster on her hip.

She'll hurtle through the galaxy
on meteoric flights
to battle monkey aliens
in huge karate fights.

She'll duel with laser sabers
while avoiding lava spray
to vanquish evil emperors
and always save the day.

I hope the teacher likes my tale,
"Amazing Astro Cow."
Yes, that's the poem I will write
as soon as I learn how.

Gnawing

It's gnawing at my skin... gnawing at my bones making me sick all over making me angry fuming mad but aboveall it makes me wanna live on.

Adults

Recently, 2 friends of mine (shan't name them or give clues or else scully kenna sued... ...) Anyway these 2 friends decided to be physically 20 something but spiritually 3 (or lastest I've heard, 8). If only they can really succeed in doing so. However I believe that everyone has a bit of a child in them. Some have more than others, like me! heh....

I'm too much like a child. No good. I tend to feel too much. Much more than others. Feel so much that I have to escape sometimes to other places which are a product of my mind (no i dun have wet dreams..anyway can gers have wet dreams?) But I dun anymore. Sometimes I do..sometimes I really wish that I can be a child again and laugh freely and say silly things (although I still do that now lah) Now as an adult I learn how to deal with shit. Whether my method is correct I dun care cos it works for me.

Sometimes I really envy people who have normal parents and siblings whom they can quarrel with. But...trying to be positive... mabbe I wun turn out the way I am today. Sometimes clinging on to hope may work somehow.

So cute

I love teaching P1 and P2s. They are so innocent and cute! Once I step into the classroom I feel so happy that I can't stop smiling. Perhaps that's why they are not afraid of me unless I give them the Miss Looi stare... ... heh. However, I have a problem understanding their speech. Either cos' it's too soft or too muffled by their lack of teeth or inability to speak in english or just plain bad mixed up pronunciation.

I've been decorating the classroom and putting some games for them at the back of the classroom. Amazingly the speed at which they do work increases! Hahahah these children. I can't wait for the National Library sale so i can increase the amount of books in have in the class library.

I'm so happy I chose teaching. It's really for me. If some changes can be made to the HR of my school, the world will be a better place :)
