Lovesick

Once I ended school yesterday, i felt dizzy. Went to the salon to change my hairstyle cos got kinda bored of my previous messy and dried, grassy type of hair.Spent 5 hours in the salon during which my students came to give me a present which i will treasure it . Really meant what i say. Specially mention them, in particular Louisa, Elaine, Abigail and Shu-en. They drew to express their emotions to me on leaving Outram. That's really sweet. My heart totally melted. Had a high fever last night. Boyfriend called me and he claimed that i was love-sick. But i disagree cos i think i ate the wrong food.
Today at St's Andrew secondary school. I'm back at my indirect alma mater. I'm a Saint afterall. UP and ON!!School's pretty boring cos today i didn't teach at all. Yes, a relief teacher indeed. No lessons. Paid to serve the internet and watch videos. what a good job.=)The admin person told me that boys are real cheeky and i've got to watch my skirt.

If outram asks me back, i'll give a second consideration.=)

Last day in outram

It's the start of the new week. but my contract in outram ends today. Though today is the last day, but i feel alright. No sense of longing for the school but just some of my students. On a happy note, i went out with boyfriend just right after he booked out on friday. The moment he was released from the clutches of tekong, he went straight back to his home to unload all those heavy green sacks and bags. Me , went to his house in the evening. At that instant when i saw his dark skin tone, my heart sanked. That's because he must have marched under the sun for hours every single day. But no choice.That's army life.We are of 2 contrasting colour, white and black. No offence to anyone. He secured me by surrounding me with his arms and he got Bigger. He was not only physically fitter but stronger as well. I could feel the HUGE bulch on arms. He's great. I'm so proud of my boyfriend. Went to eat at a fast-food restaurant because i know that boyfriend has not tasted such ''heavenly delicacies'' for a long time. This is the first time since we stayed in a fast-food restaurant for almost an hour and a half. Woo~! we enjoyed the yummy spicy tender drumstick powdered with some chilli flakes on the surface of the crispy skin.enjoyed my dinner with boyfriend cos i haven't had a decent meal with him since 2 weeks .

Sat- Went to toa payoh with boyfriend to eat Sakura, some kind of international buffet. There were quite a number of kiasu people who took mountains of food piled up on the plate. I mean like the food seems to be collapsing. Boyfriend took all types of cakes and ice-cream of all flavours but in lil' portions . We spent 2 hours sampling all the palatable food. Woo~!Walked around the whole toa payoh to digest our food.
then we happened to pass by an X shop which had a celebrity inside. Then the heartlanders were like creating a commotion outside.Trying to peer through the blinds of the window. Boyfriend and I couldn't be bothered so walked off and decided to proceed to Chinatown. We remembered to tap out card cos we no longer enjoy the student concession fare.=( kept walking and walking so i was thirsty, then boyfriend suddenly had a craving for slurpy from 7-eleven. Then i kept insisting that there isn't any 7-eleven in sight at all in the heart of chinatown.

BF: What if I can find one leh?
Me: Hmm, i'll grant you a wish (i was absoulte sure that there is not 7-eleven)
Bf: I think near OG there has one.

.......(walked to OG)

Me: I don't see one( me glanced through the whole street of chinatown)
Bf: Doyou see the 3 colour-stripe shop. Green,yellow and orange.
Me :uh...(stammers) nnnnoooooo. I don't seee oooone... (hums and haws)

this result of losing the bet was okay.

The last time when i claimed that there isn't a charles & Keith shop at Plaza Singapura. In the end, what happened. Me had to do a dare. Outside the charles and keith shop, right outside KFC, near the escalator where there was an endless crowd .Mind you, that was a SAT. The couple locked their lips at that spot.It wasn't really that scary. Well, those stares by the on-lookers didn't bother me much.

Boyfriend stated,'' It's perfectly normal for a couple to kiss, but wierd for those who doesn't.''


Morale of the story : Nevcr to make any bet with boyfriend cause You will end up losing



well, time files and it's obvious to say goodbye.
3 1 /2 weeks in outram just like that
happy are those with good students
bad are ones that are rebellious
Presents are ultimately what most students want
but nonetheless there's still a lil' fun
No doubt the kids are still young and punk
there will be at least once when they face the music
with a look of stunned
chasing after homework day by day
cos i'm taking ministry of education's pay

the week ahead is just going to be so busy like a little bee. So cliche. During the weekend, it was qite meaningful as i spend my time shopping presents for SOME of my beloved students. I mean SOME. not ALL. Yea, some students can be super Attention seeking but as the principal had said . '' NO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT'' which also means no laying fingers on them and no hurling of abuses as them as well. After 2 weeks in school, i can almost remember all my students except just a handful. and there's this particular student of mine who is really a mischievous brat, but he;s really smart just lazy that's all. he puts one of his feet up on the chair during lessons like a rishaw-fellow. but he will try ways and means to cheer me up when i'm upset with the class whenever they made me angry. He's like my temporary boyfriend. No particular meaning. he's only a sec 1 kid) boyfriend won't be jealous...

actually, i think in the year 2008 is and confirm an inflation year, which is true. It is obviously true that all the prices of most things in singapore has risen by a bit. Well, if these little things addd up, it will be a huge sum for us to withstand the pressure of not having sufficent money to spend.even a 2 brands of prices of bread has got gone up by a wee bit of 30 cents. the only thing that remains unchanged is my salary. i would hope and try to get a new job after my teaching. a new environment for me , different people and different salary . That is. Getting my 1st salary this week. but ..20% goes into CPF, which means nett saving is lesser. well, i try and MUST save money which i did. I planned to give partial of my salary to my dad for supplying me with the transportation fees and expenses for the first month. I planned to give my family a treat as well.This weekend will be going out with boyfriend.
now, looks like the debit is more than the credit side.=(But that's only TEMPORARY.

2nd week in outram

the 2nd week is outram is really horrendous that makes me feel like breaking down. Classes that i went to in the 2nd week , most of the students misbehave in class and disrespectful towards me. But then again, when they are not in class, that means their leisure time, they will be courteous to you and say,''oh hi cher''. Okay. I get the idea. maybe, i'm not feeling well this week due to certain reasons like ''nostalgic bt school days and being lonesone in the world of myself and me. that's becos of boyfriend. The students do scold vulgaraties in classes and play with poker cards . some were even fumbling with the rubics cube and they claim with teirso-called logic that they are training their brain intellectually. *Rolls EYES*. WHATEVER.However,if boyfriend teaches in the same school as me. That will be a totally different story. I guarantee. My life is like teach, eat sleep.Teach ,eat and sleep.it's only the 2nd week and i'm getting sick of the environment that i'm presently in now. I want to change a new environment. SJI and SAS, SAJS called me. But i haven decided to take on which job till my contract n outram terminates by the end of january.Totally enough of work.
Talk about my love life.Everynight, around 9-10pm, i will just hold on to my phone wherever i go and whatever i do, i'll take a short peek to check if he did call. That's natural for all the girls whose boyfriends are being held in the island of palau tekong. then what do i do in the day? hmm, i just stare at my phone and start msging to my boyfriend and yep. I love him to the max. No reason for the unlimited love as i have plunged into the abyss of love. I still can remember the times when the fame of love just started burning. it's a totally different type of love as now. the love that he has showered upon me is priceless and tangible. But to me, nothing is comparable to his love for me . not even anything i can even think of.All these thoughts just come to me without anything reason. There's this student of mine who is quite irritating at times and i shall not mention. his behaviour just totally...totally CMI. I AM ssssooooooorrry(sacarsm), but i can't help it. Okay, that's pretty enough of whining. But there's quite a few sec 1 student who said that boyfriend and me are a PERFECT MATCH.=) Well, those could be just a mere words to some but to me, that just brightens my day when he's away from me.=/. 7 days more till i get to meet the soul of my life.

1 week as a teacher

it's been a week that i've been a teacher in Outram Secondary School. At first, i thought outram was a school with a lot of mischievous rebellious kids. But it turned out to be almost on the contrary. well, the kids are not defined as mischievous. they are just exuding their nature of being children as very enthusiastic about everything. I feel very warm and welcomed by the students especially. Every corner of the school that you are at, no matter what they are doing,like queing up at the canteen.they would smile at me and greet me. That's very nice of them, and that's what push me on to be a teacher.
They have superstars in their schools ,i assure you. There are students looking like jay chou and Wang lee hom and even christopher lee. School is really fun being with these children. i like them*. Yep. Well, there's only a certain group, because i only know this group of people when i take them for relief lessons. i hope in the coming days in Outram, I'd have more chances to be with the other students of the school .Woo~! The OUTRAm SEC SPIRIT.Oh yeah, and one thing. The principal is also excellent. she's really firm but also humurous at times. She's an outgoing person, and seems that not only is she well-liked by the staff but students as well. It's not that i'm like por(bootlick) her,but all i can say is. Be a staff/ student under her and you'll now.

Lessons in school is quite a pricky issue.That's because my students hardly pay attention to me. They usually ask me irrelevant stuff like what's my age, where am i from. Do i have a boyfriend..stc Hah. Gotcha. I was once a student myse;f so i know what they are up to. I know they are trying to waste time so there's no need for lessons.Imagine students adding me on MSN and friendster. Woah, really like friend. But that's okay. hmm, i will always think that if you regard someone as a teacher, there's always a barrier that obstructs us from knowing one another better. Enough of school stuff.

Heard from Boyfriend that he's not feeling well. Yes, i am aware of iti miss him a whole lot . Pray that he recovers soon.

day 1 of army

today i'm really sad. Cried like 3-5 times yesterday .that's because boyfriend is entering army. Yes.Tears flowed and welled up just at the edge of my eyes without me even feeling it. Boyfriend just used his fingers to wipe those li' naughty droplets that seemed to be bullying me. i couldn't control myself. although, i 'll be seeing him. but i just want to blogabout it. not because i want to et the whole world know, but because i'm sad.i have no one else to talk to except boyfriend. but now he's not around for the next fortnight. the internet is my listening ear. You people are my listening year. Now i have relised, how much am I attached to him. Well. Those tears just wouldn't give in to me.

It will be 2 whole weeks before I'll get to see you again.I'll really miss you every second, minute, days. Before 9 jan, i would always have something to look forward to that is to see you right after school. But now, when you enter into the army barracade, those fences seems to be holding us apart. i mean the longest time that we didn't see each other was 10 days. the longest time that we didn't spoke to each other was 5 days. Well, these 14 days will be an ordeal for us.=/It's not as though you're not coming back , but then it's like i will not be used to it.

This will be a growing stage for us and a test of our love.

I am confident that we'll last forever.

Rain Poem

You held me tight as we walked in the rain.

as the showers poured in vain.

The umbrella covered us
together we walked till dusk

You turned me around to look into your eyes
but i was so shy to hide away like mice

We kiss passionately by the road
with stares in all directions by folks

But we continued in our own world
when folks created a stir

It didn't matter whether we were drenched
but how much each other could sense

As it was the happiest day of our lives
perhaps the rain was a blessing in disguise

FREEZE TIME

it's time to blog again. It's been a tiring week. i spend only 2 days teaching in a primary school, XISHAN PRI. the school is not bad, but it's a bit of ULU, a small place in yishun.Well, the teachers there, my colleages are alright, some are very warm and friendly but some are just DAO-ing. Sianz. But my pay was 65 a day, and as amusic, social studies and art teacher. So ironic rite? I dun study music and art but yet i teach them.I only have a few lessons a day.So the job is preety easy. But there is one sacrifice. I have to wake up at 5 every morning. So I quit cos my eyebags were begging me to let them off.My boyfriend is realy sweet, he came to fetch me after school yesterday. He was like saying that the school uniform is kind of 'UNIQUE'. I can't agree more. He was complaining that then school is not very developed and the canteen food, is not in particular appetising though was cheap. He said he felt tall seeing all those kids running past and sitting near him , towering over them made him like a giant. Heh=)

LAter me and boyfriend went to Toa payoh and ate long john. I lost a bet to him and we did something awkward but exciting outside LJS. We went on to Chinatown and was drenched in the rain though we had an umbrella. Well, the stupid umbrella was Spoilt. So , we ran in the rain together. Many people were looking, but we cont'd.=)

A new year, well that means NEW resolutions
First-To improve myself and become a better person both inside and out.
Second-All relationships with my boyfriend, family and friends remain well =)
Third-To earn more money**
Fourth-travel to more countries

I simply do not know why my mother will not let me get a job. She deem that a job must definitely be a PROPER job, that means a teacher. She forbids me from getting a job as a receptionist, waitress, promoter. I mean, what's the big deal rite? She say jobs like these are underpaid which i somehow beg to differ in someway or the other. I do know that some of my friends who are paid 10 bucks an hr as a waitress in some English restaurant at orchard where they are dressed up as palace maids. My mother doesn't put herself in my shoes, unknown of the fact that a relief teacher job is not a three-full-term job, it's a day-to-day basis. In this case, i'll have to sit by the phone and wait for it to ring. That's like a retard. Whatever it is.

She says that ''time is precious, i'd rather you use the time to upgrade yourself than to be underpaid''.

Boyfriend's mum is far more understanding and is totally on the contrary . Auntie feels that instead of idling our time away, we should get a job. Not only to keep ourselves occupied but to also earn some income. I can't agree more with it.I feel really sad. I want to get myself a job. i want to know what is like working in the society. Why doesn't she give me a chance to experience it. That's pretty annoying but there's nothing i can do. That's because she's my mother and i'll have to listen to her for the rest of my life.=/
