MAH HARE!

okay i permed my hair today.

*waits for reaction*

wanna know what it's like?

okay i won't give u a picture since i'm not into camwhoring, but i'll give you a mental picture!

NOT NICE.

firstly,it cost 130 bucks only. so i guess i couldn't have expected much. worst part? i think the curls are kinda straightening out already :( my hair looks pretty much the same to me. *wails* i feel sad depressed and cheated. and i'm sleepy too :( sigh.

okay off now.

Brace Yourself

So, these few days have been lots of fun!
We continued with our food crawl/trail and it was lots of fun! I'm still loving the food and I can't wait to eat more! The food has been amazing and it brings back so many fond memories -- of school, of friends. Yesterday was the school canteen food while today was the coffee shop in greenwood and estivo! All these really remind me of the last stretch before As. How we rushed to beat the canoeists to the coffee shop, how we ate and studied at the canteen or ate at the canteen before heading to our beloved container classroom. Those days were awesome. Funny how just great company can get you through the most stressful of times. I really treasure my study buddies (: I'm really gonna miss studying with these guys! I don't know how I'll ever get through uni studies without them, really. Or how I'm even gonna survive uni for that matter. It seems so near, and I'm getting terrified. I just hope all goes well. Anyway, pictures!

So tomorrow I'll be off to camp for 3 days. I heard it's gonna be lots of fun so I really hope I will enjoy myself! I'm really exhausted from today's training though. I have a feeling I'm gonna ache like hell tomorrow. But all worth while! Hopefully Saturday's match goes well. Good luck team! I will try to be there to cheer you guys on. (If I'm not dead yet). Packed weekend and week ahead! Hopefully I'll survive. Thank goodness for good pals who are constantly encouraging and offering a listening ear (: I really appreciate it.

Alright, I guess I'm off to pack.

SLUT UP!

is the funniest thing barney has ever said(in my opinion) i love how i met your mother,go watch it!

i got slightly frustrated today with the teacher i'm working with so i tactfully(i hope) asked for permission from him to teach this guai class and well. i got the permission and i taught them basic grammar!thanks to my mummy. she spent an hour explaining how i was supposed to drill basic grammar rules into those kids to me yesterday night. ah. i think i did a decent job cause they asked plenty of questions and looked slightly more interested. i hope i can take tomorrow's lesson too *crosses fingers* i'm marking their papers now(topic= if i had a million dollars, i would...) and this guy wrote that he would proceed with his plans for world domination. hahaha.

AND guess what bubbas. I've been running regularly yeahhhhhh! haha on fri, sun and mon. was too tired today. but i'm awesome! i feel skinnier already. bring it on bring it on!! in case anyone's interested, i'm taking part in a marathon in august and i have to run 21k. help.

i'm still constipated,eating papayas now(:

i watched x-files, it's awful. don't watch it unless you really HAVE to see david dunchovy cause he's cute(less cute btw)the dark knight still retains its "HUAYSHAN'S FAV MOVIE" award. next in line is probably the transformers. anyhows, elise, lina wanna watch the dark knight with me again??

btw i was walking past hula and co and i saw the shorts i bought in bangkok on one of the racks. what does it mean?
a)i have awesome taste.
b)we should all go to bangkok to shop cause i bought my shorts (which are exactly the same i swear) for 8 bucks, and hula and co was selling them for 33.90!!!!!!

i wish i had bought more stuff in bangkok:(

let me make an "i want" list. never done this before. oh right, that reminds me. before i leave i'll be posting a list of things i want so if u're planning to get me a farewell gift u can pick sth from the list! thick skin yes but better wad.. i'm happy, you're happy. *beams in a very huayshan manner*

i want:
1)a bookish sling bag. those kind with two buckles on the outer cover.
2)i think it's called a fisherman's bag. isit? the longish strapped bag that's tightened at its head. ok i'm making it sound like a person being hung for execution but i think u get the idea.
3)a luggage. like duh. then use plastic bag to carry my stuff to uk ah.
4)curly hair!!!which i shall do soon,i promise!!
5)to shit.
6)a new red pen.
7)converse shoes(denim ones)
8)a new nice expensive watch(not cause i'm materialistic, you JUDGEMENTAL bobos, cause good watches lok pweetier and last longer.)

ok that's all i can think of for now. gtg markmarkmark. byeee!

Going back to Adam Road to eat the famous Nasi Lemak was an awesome experience. I was really excited to eat there because the Nasi Lemak there is simply delicious, coupled with amazing chilli and warm teh-tarik to go along with it. It's really the perfect combination and great way to start the day. The best part? It's only the first day of our food crawl/trail! I'm really hyped for the rest of the journey! Pictures will be up when I get them from Zee!
Of course, all good things don't last. Going on the food crawl/trail also means that reality is starting to kick in. I hate the fact that we only appreciate good things when they're gone or about to be taken away. Yes, I definitely miss being able to eat at Adam Road everyday back in NJ. (though I didn't!) Now, that privilege is going to be taken away from me. For one, I am no longer in the vicinity since I'm changing schools. Secondly, my makan buddy will be heading for the alps soon. It just makes me realise that everyone's leaving in less than a month's time and we will all be venturing on different paths. I still miss the days in NJ, where we used to see each other everyday, play in the field, container classroom days etc. There's not one day that I don't wish to go back to those days, minus the studying and exams.
To be honest, I'm fucking scared for uni. (pardon the language). Although the people I've met so far have been nothing less than great, I can't help but feel scared and nervous about uni. The competition, stress, workload and grades to meet definitely scare the living daylights out of me. To think that I won't have my good friends by my side, I feel fucked up already. Pardon this emo post but this is just one of those days that reality hits you right in the face. And guess what, I feel fucking unprepared. Good luck to me since school's starting really soon. I can't believe it. My months of freedom are quickly and surely coming to an end. I don't want change. I wish life could stay this way forever. Sadly, it can't and I have to learn to suck it up and move on.

ker-CHING!

i am a very greedy person. what's that word. avaricious. did i spell that right? anyhows if you know me well enough you'll know that i'm damn kiamsiap. first day at work at (this never fails to amuse me) Eager Beaver Early Reader Learning Centre! very hectic please. a lot of marking which perplexes me( cause i'm marking compres which have SUMMARIES, mind you) and i had to go through passages i have never seen in my life with the students who are quiet but in a scary way. scary beary. elise was kinda comforting cause she looked as confused as i was at times. heheheh. what made the whole thing worse was that i was uber hungry. like, really HUNGRY PUNGRY. sigh. going tmr again. cause it's like a 5 minute walk from the secondary school so it's preeteee convenient.

i've made a resolution to drink a bottle of water everyday. i think it'll help keep me young and healthy.and i kinda need to poop after days of constipation. i felt the flow a couple of days ago but i was late for a lesson so i couldn't complete the discharge of crap from my body. gah.

more students pissed me off today. okay fine i confess i'm hopeless at scolding. i usually just glare and glare and boil with rage inside but i can't bring myself to open my mouth. i'm afraid i'll say something i'll regret later. i think some of them think i'm a loser teacher who has a bleak future cause she's easily bullied by them. WRONG.... you'll be coming to me for medicine some day and boy will you regret what you said to me when I'm giving you your flu jab. hahahaahha.

HEIDI!!

BARNEE

haha been watching how i met your mother and barney is CLASSIC. anyhows.. the dark knight is really good! haha everyone's been saying that so i finally watched it yesterday and yea, it really was awesome. why???
1)batman's motorcycle is sexy. i want one. it's bloody sexy!
2)the storyline is very unique. appeals to lit people like me.
3)i kinda like aaron eckhart. hehe

well there's just something about the message that the movie brings across. it's kinda like an eerily haunting movie. and yes like debra said, the joker is the perfect villain. he's so mentally twisted the movie completely transcends the typical action packed movie like spiderman,superman etcetc. if you want me to write an essay on the significance of the movie i totally can. haha okay enough from me. plain awesomeness.

went shopping today at PS and fox is lovely! 50% off storewide. this is what i call a REAL SALE. got sth that i had been eyeing long before the sale,shiok. then went to cotton on body and i saw these pair of pink schluff slippers for 2 dollars. couldn't resist buying haha. shall wear around hostel. anyhow, i'm going for a run now. man am i out of exercise.

last point, i went back to vjc to collect my alevel cert and all the other documents and the security guard (the botak cute cute one) remembered me!! he was like smiling at me and talking to me and vanessa awhile. in case you're curious, i think he remembers me because i was always late for school. haha see the benefits of not being punctual. okay im off to EXER-SIZE(cause exercising reduces my size) seeya all!

Craving

Ever since that talk with Zee about our food trail, I've been having weird food cravings.
Take now for example, I suddenly miss my breakfast in Bangkok with Chang, fun buns and Shan so I decided to steal my mummy's egg and yummy sausages to eat for my after training meal. I feel very guilty but who can resist sausages and eggs?
I'm sorry mummy.

Happy Saturday

So the big day finally came and went and I must say it was pretty successful (: I had lots of fun getting high and doing nonsense and I hope that all of you who came down felt the same way (: The pictures are really pretty cos it's all so colourful! I'm glad all the girls dressed up. I think all the touch girls looked really good (: And special mention to YS, Linus and Yao for taking time to dress up despite their army commitments. Kudos to you guys! (especially to Yao, who made the most effort with the stars!) Thanks for the photos (: And thanks to all those who came down and gave your support. I really appreciate it and thank you from the bottom of my heart (: It's really tiring and stressful to organise such an event but it was really worth it seeing everyone laugh and smile (:

So that was how my Saturday night was spent and it was really so much fun (: I tried so many new shots and my favourite is still the flaming lambo. It was so much fun drinking with Yao, Chriselle and Aaron. Fun singing and dancing at the bar when we got really high. Even though it was probably highly embarrassing, it was a ton of fun and worth sacrificing my face for. HAHA.

Alright, a less busy week up ahead but fun-filled nonetheless. Thank goodness the paced has slowed down a lot or I'd die. Another time then!

PRIORITIES

I've been having an awesome week. kinda put my friends and fun first instead of work. i was a bit anal about having to come home by ten on weekdays so i'll get enough sleep before going to work but haha. decided to behave like a completely irresponsible teenager this week(which i am anyway). sooo.. on wednesday i headed to debo's after work, hung out with her at city hall awhile and WE SAW XIAXUE. sequence of events:

1. huayshan sees xiaxue.
2. huayshan squeals "debo is that xiaxue??"
3. debo squeals.
4. huayshan says "let's stalk her let's stalk her!!!" (damn excited for some weird reason)
5. debo agrees and RUNS UP THE ESCALATOR.
6. huayshan- ".........."
7. debo says "let's talk to her!!!"
8. huayshan says "no, let's just follow her"
9. debo follows xiaxue around this pole thing cause xiaxue was looking for directions or something and went like, "hi i read your blog". xiaxue goes "uh. thank you."
10. debo returns to my side(i'm totally mortified btw) and drags me away to hide her face.

FUNNY!! she's VERY short in person btw. okay then after thatttt we went to zouk and i felt a bit weird at first cause it was all councillors and elise's camp friends but after awhile i had plenty funnnnn:) we went to the clinic place at clark quay for drinks and it was fun playing with the wheelchair heh. anyhow i genuinely enjoyed myself in a very high and hyper kinda way.

stayed at elises that night and ponned work the next day AGAIN and had lunch with debo and elise before going home. class outing on sat night and slept over at annsiongs and LEARNT TO PLAY MAHJONG!!! it's quite fun haha i even won twice!! okay that's pretty much all from me now i'm not looking forward to work, i HATE some classes but i need money sigh. meeting vanessa to collect results tmr and for dinner. YAY, going back to my veeJAY tmr!!

oh and i've also been bumping into tons of people i know which is super uber fun. haha first, bumped into christopher(random) in buona vista and we talked quite a bit. then joshua also at the station and i hadn't seen him for aeons! then jalene's friend from ijtp the 4/3 one i forgot her name haha. then at city hall i bumped into my scholarship officer, whom i adore. and leonard,wilbur and jon ang, my kayak seniors. and they were very nice to me, despite me not knowing them very well and pretty much hating their guts throughout my entire kayaking career. and then i saw valerie all cheery and pweety. haha wheee!! love bumping into people. okay that's REALLY all for now.

One More Day!

So I guess I've made it through the bulk of hell. Tomorrow is the final day. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I hope things turn out well, I hope everyone has fun and I hope that the turn out is good. So much has gone into the planning so I just want to see everyone have fun. That's all. I'm really keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

Anyway, today was a good day. Spent the day with great people and had much fun catching up! (: I really miss the good ol' NJ days where we used to spend every single day together. Now that everyone's going off to different parts of the world, it's just very sad. I guess it's part and parcel of life but it's never easy. Goodbyes never are. So for now, I'll just treasure the time I have left with everyone and have as much fun as I possibly can! Like today! It was really fun (: Hope to have more of such days to come! (:

My frequent posts are a result of absolute boredom that results from compiling songs for the weekend. I am only at song 27 and there's probably 27 more to go. It's midnight right now and yet, I cannot sleep because I have to finish compiling the songs before more work starts piling in. I am really exhausted and I have training, work and driving tomorrow. Welcome to my life. I cross my fingers and pray that the weekend works out. If not, I don't know what I'd do.

So it's the second day into hell week and it's busy but not that bad. Had a full day of work today and thereafter it was off to plan the party stuff. I realise party shops are a ton of fun! I guess cos it makes me feel like a kid again. I wanted everything from Barney hats to clown noses to Ultraman bubble bottles. Too bad money doesn't grow on trees and I have to curb shopping since I've done so much of it already in the past month! At least now that day 2 is over, it means it's 4 days left! I really can't wait for the week to be over. Although I'll still be pretty busy, I think it'll be less hectic already! I just hope the weekend will be good. I can't wait and yet, I'm scared.

Listening to retro music brings back such fond memories. It's strange but I can still remember almost every single word of certain songs! The mind is truly mysterious. Or maybe that's what's been hindering me from remembering more important stuff! Who knows. It's amazing how much music has changed as well. People used to sing of having fun in the sun and about cartoon heroes. Now? It's just all about break ups and angst. Sad in a way but not all lost since retro music is still around!

Ok, well I guess enough of me being random. I'm quite happy that I'm not flaring up as easily now. In fact, I didn't flare up today at all! I think I must be too tired but it's still a good thing (: In fact, today I was touched by certain things. So, hope this good but busy day trend continues till the end of the week. Maybe it'll make things easier. Training tomorrow = dead mar. Goodbye!

*On a lighter note, the piece of shit should be in Singapore already! Hope she texts/calls me soon (: YAYE! (:

Yay! My favourite piece of shit is coming back in about a day's time! I'm so excited and I can't wait to see her (:
Finally, I have something to look forward to.
I have to learn to control my temper. I'm flaring up and getting worked up very easily and I feel so bleah about a lot of things which shall not be discussed here. Well, at least today's over. (Then again, today wasn't so bad. I actually had fun teaching but now fatigue is kicking in.) Meaning there's only 5 more days left before hell week is over (: I can't wait! The anticipation's killing me.

5 more days!

GREAT expectations

added some pics =D

i am very sian. kinda feel guilty for not going to work today. tired lahhhh. and i had a small tiff with my dad yesterday. long story.had sth to do with my visa and plane tickets. nothing big lah but i just want to settle everything asap and just be waiting for my flight!!! RAH. but i love hanging out with my bro's gf. she's lovely to be with. we just spend the day eating and talking nonsense and watching shows. slackers. lovely.

then i emailed a senior in the uni of bham and she is very very nice i'm so relieved! offered to take me around and sent a very friendly email. YAY im really looking forward to this.

i forgot to mention, mark lee had dinner at the table beside mine at this zhi cha store near the NJ/HC area a couple days back. my bro's gf waved to him before we went and when we first arrived and he actually waved back. and no, they aren't friends. HAHA

class outing on saturday cracked me up. i love everybody and i love elise. stayed over at her place and we talked plenty and she says i'm interesting! and we had supper. she had everything i asked for. namely lime(for the beehoon) and ice cream soda which is my favourite carbonated drink of all times. my fav drink is bandung btw. yea so had a good good time. missed my debo too she's very cute. screamed at her food cause it wouldn't cook quickly enough. then my wanyun. AH!!

byby.

I'm simply exhausted.
There are so many things to do this week. I think I'm really going to die. I have to get my non existent fitness back pronto or risk dying during the entire NRC season. I still have touch oasis to think about and so many other things that I can't recall right now. I'm trying to be organised by writing down a to-do list, which seems endless. It doesn't help that someone keeps telling me to relax because it is only making me more pissed off. I think I'm becoming more short-tempered because every time this certain person tells me to relax, I only get even more pissed off. Ugh. I really hate this coming week. Maybe I'm trying to squeeze too many things into one week but I have no choice? I still have plenty of things that are left unsettled. This is killing me. I wish I could plan my time better. Maybe I won't be feeling this way if that were the case. No point regretting now since I've already gotten myself into this so-called mess.
On another note, I've made a certain decision which I think someone will be unhappy about. I've already spoken to another person about it who has agreed that my decision is the right one and has agreed to back me up. I'm really scared that it won't work out even though I'm convinced that I'm right. It's a horrible feeling and I think it's going to haunt me. (Fun buns, if you're reading this, it's not about that topic. Completely different thing altogether). Ah, I hate making such stupid decisions. Then again, I think I brought it on myself when I agreed to help. Maybe that person was right, I shouldn't have taken this on because I've gotten myself into this mess.
Ugh! Stress! I really wanna curse and swear till my voice turns hoarse because I'm so fucking frustrated it's not funny! I hate reality. I wish I were still in Hong Kong eating egg tarts and dim sum. Ah, fuck it.

I'm finally back from Hong Kong! Sadly, no more trips for me but I'd rather have it that way for a while because I need to let reality hit me full in the face before another phase of my life starts. I realise I have been out of Singapore for the longest time and I feel so out of touch. There are so many things to do: new temporary job, planning of touch oasis (faint), contact (double faint), driving, catching up and matriculation plus camps. I think I am going to die but I will find some way to survive. Bleah!

Anyway, the trip was really good! Ate and shopped like nobody's business! Egg tarts and dim sum was simply heaven. I wish I could eat it everyday! Even when I dream, I dream of the delicious egg tarts and dim sum! Strangely though, I really enjoyed visiting the outer islands where we cycled all over the island and ate not-so-good seafood. It was refreshing and a good getaway from the city life. I wish we could've spent more time there and gone swimming as well! Most importantly, I enjoyed the company and the food very much. I think those are the 2 key ingredients for a good trip. Pictures will be up when I have the time/can be bothered.

Proper update on the trip next time. I realise I have to crash soon because I have a friendly later? And I've been out of touch for so long. I hope I survive.

Premier tissue paper

spent the last SIX hours at both chan brothers and in front of bambi(my vaio) trying to book flights for my parents to travel from birmingham to hanover then hanover to zurich then zurich to singapore. I was very pissed off at first but i'm cool now. trying to control my bad temper. i get frustrated when things get messy. anyhow.

i hate relieving classes. the discipline mistress came into 4 of the classes i was relieving cause the classes were too noisy. i think she thinks i'm an incompetent nincompoop. which i am. cause i CANNOT SCOLD butttttt. i can teach. SO THERE. nyehnyeh. i was told today i don't have the character required to become a doctor and that i'm too bubbly. and that i am wanting to become a doctor for the wrong reasons. the statement was delivered by someone i actually like and respect very much. got me thinking and for a moment i felt very ashamed of myself kinda like i wish i wasn't so hyper all the time and laughed less and was more serious and solemn and studious looking. but it's pretty hard to change.sigh. let's see what the future holds.

i can't wait for class outing with debbra and lizziemaguire. and am going night cycling with the kayakers tonight. was VERY reluctant but i guess it could be fun. i need to talk to people my age and i need to go outtttt. hung out with brother's girlfriend yesterday. she's very nice. i am aware my sentences are very short and punctuated. BURP. byebye going to eat botak jones fish and chips yummy mummy! I AM FAT!!!!!!!!!(but i can't stop myself from eating. i shall cycle my ass off tonight(: )

btw if u remember the nose-bleeder i mentioned in my previous post here's an update. went to another class today that i liked and as i was talking to them i casually mentioned the nose-bleeder and they got all excited cause apparently gossip spreads quick and i then made them tell me the whole story. so apparently,the nose-bleeder decided to rub and pat the puncher's head for good luck and the puncher told him to stop. but the nose-bleeder went on and so the puncher gave him three(yes, exactly THREE) punches, wham wham wham! and WHOOSH! maroon waterfall from his nostrils. ok enough from me.

HUAYshan

fan, light and days

very tired. life is so GAH. anyway i have stories about my lessons. firstly i had my dream lesson today. i was supposed to relief a literature remedial lesson and hand out unseen proses,but i read the prose beforehand and had a few points in mind so when the students looked damn sian i made them sit around me in a very mr ho sort of way and i went through the passage with them. not sure if my answers are correct or if they found it interesting but they actually took down notes and seemed a tad interested so i'm happy. always been a dream to make students feel the way mr ho made me feel about lit.

then i was relieving this other class and was trying my best to help some students with a history worksheet and one guy said i explained better than his teacher *BEAMS* HISTORY leh.. i only have a sec 2 education on history!! but that's not the scary part. a few mins later i heard a commotion and turned to the front of the class and saw two guys shoving each other. and the one of the guys was BLEEDING from his nose. i was like uh.. okay crap what happens now!! they stopped but it was like WOW.

i'm fat. DAMNIT. sigh and i have to book my plane tickets. AIYAH leceh. bye everybody. eh class outing everyone go hor.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

These few days home have been amazing, even though it's just a short period of time :)
I managed to catch up with almost everyone I wanted to meet up with! :) I missed so many people in Argentina! Just doing the stuff we do together just makes me so happy. I think I am easily amused/satisfied. For example, that day, I just enjoyed sitting at the school canteen eating dinner with Jen. That's somewhat like our thing and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I'm glad to be getting back to my normal routine. Driving, meeting up and training. Simple routine but yet so tiring! I've had problems waking up these past few days (possibly due to jet lag). It's not good, especially if this were to continue in Hong Kong! Oh well, I'll just have to force myself to sleep on time and wake up at a reasonable time.
And oh my god, I can't believe how disastrous my driving was after not driving for merely 2 weeks! I forgot how to park. The instructor had to teach me all over again and I stalled so many times because I was falling asleep due to jet lag. I also managed to drive up the curb because instead of going slower as I intended, I sped up. I know, smart move. Goodness! It doesn't look good for me right now. I just hope I get everything right before my test! I want to pass the first time (I know, who doesn't right?). Ah, good luck to me.
Training has been tough too because I've missed out so much. But thank goodness for my good teachers XP, Shuj and Sammy! They really taught me well because I managed to do a move correctly! Friendly today was scary initially. I'd never thought in my life that I would be tackling 13 and 14 year old boys. But then again, as Miss Koh said, once you tackle them, you become fearless. Yeah, true, especially after I got dragged around by this large boy who then trampled on my wrist. In some weird and twisted way, it was somewhat fun. I guess this experience is certainly gonna be something! I'm looking forward to it, sort of.
I'm so glad I managed to meet up with so many people! I caught Zohan, played friendly, celebrated Lu's birthday, caught up with the team, met my fun buns and Chang, had a very good night with the fun buns too, had a good dinner and catch up with my emo buddy as well! The week's been really good (: I'm really happy this week, except for a slight irritation that keeps bugging me. I guess it's sweet in a way but I don't know, it does irk me for some reason. Ok, nobody knows what I'm talking about so I should just shut up because I've had a good week and I won't allow it to be spoiled by this certain irritation. I will deal with it in time.
Anyway, I'm really excited about our Hong Kong trip! Eating, shopping and sight seeing will be so fun! I haven't packed yet but that's ok! I'm really really excited! I think it's gonna be a ton of fun! I just hope that we'll be disciplined enough to wake up early and work out as well. I do not want to and cannot afford to come back looking like a ball! I will miss everyone! But not to worry, food for everyone :D
See you in a week's time!

eighteen hours

i decided to delete my previously nonsensical post and to replace it with this one. well here's the story. i noticed this bag at bangkok and i thought it was pretty but it was bloody ex (about 40 sing) and hence i refused to buy it. welllll, i just found out that the bag i saw in bangkok was a replica of the above GORGEOUS designer bag, it's a balenciaga bag apparently. and it's so beautiful!! i love the design and the colours it comes in there are an array of delicious colours, there are even a few shades of pink. and i like that the bag straps are short so it can hang comfortably on the nook of its carrier's arm oh-so-stylishly.check out the two long strands of leather dangling from the side zip. so CHIC! okay i'm sounding a bit deranged here. DAMNIT it costs 2000 bucks. i shld have bought the fake one from bkk. i don't care bout brand one. as long as it looks pretty huay shan will buy it. DARNN.

looong weekend.shiok! met my lina just now at siglap kfc. i ate like a COW. two piece chicken meal, changed the coleslaw to CHEESE FRIES(without spring onions,ew.)oh btw, mr harris cycled past me when i was walking to the kfc just now. HAHA! okay back to lina. we babbled on about all sorts of nonsense i miss that girl very much sigh.

my story

is it pretty is it?? haha bought it from zara it was so lovely :) anyhow yes it shall be my winter jacket while i hunt for a better one in uk.

went back to VJ to run yesterday with the kayak people, it was so very nostalgic and FUN. *beams* i adore my vj. but eunice was saying i would love uni more which is kinda true.(hopefully) went to eat subway just now. very yummy. MEATBALL MARINARA.

i've been thinking plenty about my future now that i'm so close to leaving my protected lifestyle and i am pretty worried. how am i going to wake up early every morning and how am i going to save money to support my childrens' education? i still have a lot to learn.

random. the teaching thing has been teaching me plenty. another heartwarming incident. i was very mean to this china kid cause he wasn't serious and kept fooling around so he kept pretty quiet during the rest of the lesson. when i came back to check on him, his paper was blank so i was like, need help? and he went, you can't help me. and we argued for awhile and i guess i understood his attitude, he just couldnt understand the lesson and well that led to frustration and eventually the reluctance to be serious in class. anyhow, i explained the entire passage to him and his two other friends which was very funny cause i would explain the words to his friends and they would translate it into chinese to the china guy. HAHA. at the end of the lesson the three actually ASKED ME FOR EXTRA LESSONS AFTER SCHOOL. i was delighted.

ah well. i guess part of my purpose in life is to make an impact on as many lives possible. make people feel like their lives would have been different if they hadn't met me. yehyeh. idealism.

I'm finally back from Argentina but only for a few days before I leave for Hong Kong again. I'm super exhausted from flying 30 hours even though I slept during all the flights and even the transits.

Well, Argentina was something different. Have never seen anything remotely like that before. It was both good and bad I guess. Good because most people are friendly, shopping is good enough and the markets are so interesting. Tango's amazing to watch too. Unfortunately, I think we stayed too long so we ran out of things to do after a few days. I guess there's only so much to see. It's not a very walkable city as well. The first long walk we took turned out so badly because someone tried to steal our money. My dad and I were walking in front when something green landed on me. I thought it was bird shit but I found out it was actually mustard! Two assholes sprayed it to pretend it was bird shit so they'd have a chance to come close to me to pretend to offer help so that they can steal my money. And now thanks to them, my fucking coat is stained with mustard that can't come off. FUCK. My fucking expensive coat. Thank goodness my mum knew they were frauds so we ran off with me shouting at them as I was dragged off. Fucking made my day. Another one was at the restaurant where the waiter refused to give us the bill and over charged out. Fucking old man. Basket. Just because we can't speak a word of Spanish. Ah well. Those were just the 2 bad experiences we had over the 2 weeks. I'm pretty proud of us because we learned enough Spanish over our stay to enable us to order some amazingly good food :D Except for the mistakes once in a while (including ordering a weird salad consisting of rice, beetroot and tomato). All in all, I enjoyed myself very much! I guess just spending time with the family is swell :D Now it's time to go off to Hong Kong! I can't wait! I pray I don't get much jet lag.

It's now time to return to my routine. I am so gonna die when I return to training tomorrow. Lord please help me. Alright, time to unpack and start meeting up with people! I miss you all!
