the day im greeted "Ms Tan"

ha! i didnt expect myself, so soon, to be greeted "Ms Tan" by classes of students! a fantastic experience that i will always keep.
got called up on monday morning to be down for relief teaching at tpss! splendid! just before my school collapse, i mean renovate, im able to be there, in the position of a teacher!
my first class. 1e4. i thought, "express class couldnt be too horrible la." but ha! apparently, i was wrong! at the end of the day, i reckoned that they were the worse class. the class that pissed me so much that i made everyone return to their seats!
ha! at that moment, i thought of my past, in 4e1. being tagged rebellious by a disgusting bloody shit relief teacher when i refused to sit down despite her staring at me and the whole class already seated! haa! i still think i did the right thing! thats for sure.
(when ever i thought of this, i will thank jianli in my heart. not that he'll read my blog, but i sincerely thank him for his righteous, courageous, braveous act that day. ive yet to find another one else like him.)
haa. ok. when the classes go "teacher this.. teacher that.. " haa! i was gleaming from within! its unfathomable! "are you married?" "whats yr pri/sec schs?" "were you from normal aca or normal tech?" "can we use our handphones?" "or mp3 please?" " can we be released earlier?" haa! are the most frequently questions coming from the students! hee! kids.
its fascinating to be colleague of my ex-teachers! be teacher of my neighbour, my cadets! ha!!
my last class was 1n1. that was their last lesson too. they were, without thinking, the noisiest class of all. but, surprisingly, was also the one that i connected with the most! their actions and behaviours are no doubt mischievious. but i just enjoyed the way they were. you know, how kids should play, laugh and enjoy, especially after their midyr exams!
haa. apparently, many funny incidents happened in the classes and i just walk pretentiously into the staff room to stop them from chasing me! ha!
its fun! funny too! =)
i missed the canteen food, my teachers, the environment, and even the toilets! ha! im gona continue to miss it, especially after the demolishment.
but life still moves on.

call me a cynic or wadever. im getting really sceptical about whatever that is going to happen.

i love fridays! and ive found passion in somethings other than stjohn.
im joyful! =D

labour break

my stjohn's logo almost OUT!! yea yea man!! hahaa. thanks to my sis ok! well, for the marvelous photoshop skills. i really wish to take up a photoshop course if there is. thanks to labour day too. we both had time at home to draft it! haha im not gona post it here! the logo's gotta be a surprise! ;)
ok. im working at cpf and ntuc. anyone wana apply for the ntuc linkcard? call me. =)
and anyone who deserves the workfare bonus but were not alloted? dont call me. =)
working experiences give me opportunities to get to know many more people. and of course, to socialise, understand and accommodate others. BUT, after all, im not a saint. so honestly i cant tolerate some conceited morons. neither do i want to crack my nerves to act like i like them.
so its either they prove me wrong. or i prove them, im worse. =)

apart from these unhappy moments, the lovely ones are great! met new colleagues that are really nice people whom i like to hang out with! somehow sometimes their selflessness had made me feel rather guilty. haa! opps.

these are just snap shots of us at dxo! it was ntuc staff night! haa. ntuc booked the whole place! and the best part was, there wasnt many people there! so, quite a quiet clubbing experience. its not nice seeing bosses drunk. ahh. im not liking disco dancing though. tts my first time.

Earth Day!

i love my Earth!
do your every bit to help save our Earth!

miscalculations

haha. the pictures say all.

grace and i were having our own fun after the last instructional meeting (aka stjohn training). as much as im concerned, im liking the feeling of being back at corps.

now. surprisingly. every kid gave me an intense inexplicable joy! hahaa. im loving it man! however, like i say, its the LAST IM of the term. and then. very very soon, im going back to studies! which means, i might may shall should perhaps or could not be available for trainings regularly.

haa. well, im not really in a gd position to talk about being regular!! but, im making an effort. havent i! (im always in full brigade uniform back in corps) =P

oh yea! i had many good feelings today! and one of them refers to mdmsim's compliment on the tpsjab logo ive created! wohoo!! fab right! haa. but that logo design was just my draft 2! and u see, after my comp crashed, now ive to spend sleepless night cajoling my sis to help me with the photoshop again! hahaa. so hopefully, pray hard, the logo will be out SOON.

have i mentioned that ive just signed another contract? i mean working contract! shit. im making myself seem like a pauper. working 7days/week. office and roadshows hours! despite being mentally (most of the time physically as well) exhausted, my jobs are fun! at least, my supervisors and colleagues are giving me a great time! =) i hope i still have the energy and time for some friends gathering, karaok-ing, movie, steamboat-ing.. etc!

bliss.

passing out?

ok. the resolution sux.

spendid!

wad a worthwhile leave i've taken today. regret not taking it earlier!
went back for stjohn for the annual poc. the most impressive part of it all is of course, not the powerpoint slides, not the award presentations, not even the buffet!
but it was wad came after that that leaves an impact on me.
theyve grown and matured. well, i dont mean all, but at least, a couple of them. im so grateful that theyve finally thought through it. and theyve changed. mentally. im glad.
and rather, wad they said to me, were making my heart cry! somehow, i felt guilty for standing by them only now. but im still thankful, i didnt give up hope on them. and theyve showed me the light again. (you know, theyre glowing again!!)
a happy friday, 13.

in my warmed office

i love my office. really.
and i cant believe i queued 4hours (4.15pm - 8.15pm), alone, for donut factory's donuts for them and my aunt! haa. marvelous. i guess im obsessed. actually, i tasted it before.
not exactly fabulous, nor any impressiveness with the taste, but its the varieties, the shapes, the colours that im fancy of.
i dont encourage anyone to queue. unless u're as weird as me. =)
my mum and dad were pretty ferious about it. but well, they saw my happy face when i reached home, and they understood.
no strength is as strong as the heart's.
as long as people are happy, so will i!

but of course, when it comes to long-term relationship, its important for the other partners to contribute as well. it can be very sick and frustrating to lie.
im honest.
hee!
