28th July 2004

First week of school and I have assignment already. Stupid writing test for Business and Managerial Communication. So long the assignment. *Yawn*. Went to F.I.R comcert at my school yesterday and I must admit that they really can sing and fry the atmosphere. =p Nice band. Nice concert. *Yawn* Must go to school in an hour's time for a stupid one hour lecture and must get that writing test thing out by tomorrow so guess I got a busy day ahead of me. *Yawn*

What is lonely? What is sad? What is relief? What is missing someone? What is heartbreak? What is nervous? What is uncertainty? What is betray?

So simple yet so hard to explain...... 
Added another picture of my student......
 

22nd July 2004 Thursday

Lousy day for me today. In a lousy mood for no apparent reason. Went online and saw a few of my friends aren't in the best of their moods either. Guess it must be the day that isn't right. Everything is going wrong. Guess I shall stop here. The last thing I need is my computer blowing up on me...... 

21st July 2004 Wednesday

Went to Esplanade today. Bought a couple more Harry Potter sourvenirs including the bookmark set I was eyeing on. Went to the Esplande library after that and finished a third of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" which my sister borrowed from her school ibrary for me there. Nice book I must say but it differs quite a bit from the movie. Guess there are things that you can't act out from books. Besides that, quite an uneventful day......

20th July 2004 Tuesday

Finally borrowed the digital camera that I have been wanting to borrow for ages and finally took a few photos of my students at the enrichment centre for remembrance. Starting to miss them already even though I still got half a week before I start school and stop work. =(
 
Nice day at work playing with the children. Realised how talkative some of them have become with me now. Still remember how quiet some of them are when I first talked to them. But guess everything in life has an ending so *Shrug* Nothing I could do about that. That is life. =p Attached one of my favourite student's photo below. =p Guess I would omit myself out to remain anonymous. =p

 

19th July 2004 Monday

One new staff came to work today. Heard she is a relative of the boss and have worked there before but me never saw her. But I didn't work there long enough to see a lot of things. =p Nice day today with the students. Sure I am gonna miss them when I leave after this week. =(
 
Waking up extra early tomorrow morning to borrow a digital camera from my friend. Thanks to JY who so generously lend me her camera. =p Thanks. Gonna take photos of the children tomorrow. Just hope there is time in between work time to take photo of my favourite students. Sure hope so. Also hope I can wake up tomorrow. Very tired. In fact me just came back from tuition not long ago. Dead beat. Just had my dinner too and look at the time. Probably going to rest after my dinner is properly digested or when my eyelids become too heavy whichever is earlier. Yawn...... Till the next time I blog......

18th July 2004 Sunday

Finally finished my "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Went to the library to return it in consideration of those who wants to borrow it. I know how difficult it feels to wait for a book. Waited one whole month before I got this book. Checked out the availability of the next Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and was pleasantly surprised to see it unborrowed. Searched the library for it and sad to say, didn't find it. I am sick of waiting for books. Maybe I would just buy it. Let's see.......
 
Now wondering what to do the rest of my Sunday......

17th July 2004 Saturday

Couldn't find a way to pass the gift over to the little girl without other children noticing so ended up not passing at all. Guess I would do that the next week. The reason I don't want other children to see is I am afraid they might want it too. =p
 
Later gonna go borrow camera from my friend. So glad she would lend it to me though I feel a bit embarrassed borrowing from her. =p
 
Went Outram today to shop for CD and ended up with my first English CD. Bought M2M's "The Big Room" album. I know it is old but could not resist buying it ever since hearing their "Shades of Purple" CD. "The Big Room" is not as good as "Shades of Purple" but not bad voices they have I must admit. Ate dinner with my sister and came home. Now waiting for the camera. Watching "Final Destination" on my computer later......

16th July 2004 Friday

Went to get the little gift for the little girl. Looked around and landed up with a bookmark. Couldn't find anything else. Came home. Had a very sumptous dinner.
 
Just finished watching "Spiderman" which I borrowed from my neighbour. Not a bad show. Maybe I should catch Spiderman 2. Anyone watched it yet? Is it nice?
 
Besides that, boring day as usual. Yawn...... 

15th July 2004 Thursday

Dumb and boring day at work. Supposed to be a marker when I first started the job but has since done much much more than that and at the same pay. =( If not for the small children, I would have quit and stayed at home. I am not some kind of a god but they seem to treat me as one, asking me to do very difficult things and such. =p

Complains don't seem to be getting me anywhere so guess I would stop for now. Didn't get my Harry Potter bookmarks yesterday. Went out with my Mum and Sis to Bugis to pray pray. Guess it is time to pray for a better term ahead now that school is starting in two weeks time. Today did some IT work for my boss. Had to generate some pirated certificates for her for the ceremony at the end of this month because the original ones can only be ready in August. Haven't finished it yet so guess that is the end of my tomorrow too. Did not take any students today except one small little girl (whom I quite like to teach) due to the IT stuff. =( Anyway, it was nice teaching the small girl. =p One more week to go before I start school. Hope I can still get used to school life after the long break. Till then, I can only pray and enjoy whatever is left of my holidays. Yawn......

13th July 2004 Tuesday

Boring boring and busy day at work today. Yawn. With a few of the staff gone, work seem to be much more. Luckily I am only working for two more weeks. But seriously speaking, when I get back to school I am gonna miss the children there. They are beginning to be a part of my life. Really enjoy their company (I mean most of them with the exception of a few though.) =(

Not going for the Windstruck movie tomorrow because my friend has something on. So sad. Wonder what to do tomorrow. Maybe I should go to Esplanade and see what Harry Potter sourvenirs I could get again. Think I gonna get the bookmark set I have been eyeing on. Maybe after that I should go and have my favourite sting ray too. Sounds lonely huh? But wait, beginning to feel that sometimes, loneliness could also be quite enjoyable. At least you make your own choices without having to think of other people's preference or feelings. If you make any mistakes in your choices, you also don't get people nagging in your ears. =p

11th July 2004 Sunday

Just gave a friend of mine a piece of my mind. Been angry with him for quite some time already. This was what I said, maybe those of you who read this by chance could give me some comments as to whether what I said was wrong.

"Friends can remain as friends even if they had not contacted for ages. However, a friend is not a friend if he is one that you are unwilling to share you problems with."

Don't you agree that someone is not a real friend in your heart if you are unwilling to share your problems with him/her? If you really treat someone as your friend, nothing should stop you from saying your problems isn't it? If someone does not treasure you as a friend, should you carry on treating him as one true good friend? Dilemma. What I can say is it hurts.......

10th July 2004 Saturday

Went to work as usual today. The small girl who gave me a ball last week gave me five today because she says she also gave her uncle six. Funny reason. =p But guess I will also buy something back for her. So nice of her to give me gifts. I must be nice too. =p

Went to Bukit Timah for dinner and walk around. Nothing much to walk in Bukit Timah so came home quite early. I must be mad. I am thinking of rewatching "Harry Potter" again later. Totally obsessed. =p I am also eyeing on the Harry Potter bookmark collection. Gonna get it sooner or later though I hope it will be soon. =p Guess I will check my mail for a while before I start on my "Harry Potter" show. =p

8th July 2004 Thursday

Boring day as usual and don't know why I feel my temper getting real short these days. Maybe I need time to relax my mind. Wouldn't mind a good movie. =p Feel like watching "Windstruck". Maybe will be be watching it next week with my friend. Hope she is free. Heard it is a real nice show except that it is sad too. But I like sad movies though they do make my heart feel sour. Never knew why. Not that I am a sadist.

Yawn yawn. Don't know what to crap today. Brain not functioning real well today. Till my brain work again......

7th July 2004 Wednesday

Super happy yesterday. Dialed into 933 successfully again. Won my first Singles from 933. Won the Stella's newest CD singles. Though I don't really think much of her newest CD but she has always been my one of my favourite artiste and I really think her previous albums are good despite what my friends say.

Got another good news today. Received a letter from my University saying that I am on the "notorious" Dean's List. Though I don't have confidence to keep up my performance but sure will try. Hope my determination doesn't burn out. Yawn. Besides these, boring day as usual for me today. Yawn yawn yawn. Guess I might go and rent that Spiderman VCD to watch. See how first. Till then..... ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

5th July 2004 Monday

Super busy day at work today. Don't know why also. Supposed to be one of those days with lesser students. Maybe it is because of Youth Day that the students kept streaming into the centre and I mean literally streaming in. Had one good news and one bad news today. Two of my favourite students just came back from their holiday at Australia today. That is the good news. However, the bad news is that they are going to Hong Kong for two years at the end of this month as their father have an assignment there. =( Figured if that happens, chances are I might not see them again. Even if they do come back to the centre after two years, I would not be working there as I would have graduated already and probably would have a full time job then. Sad sad sad. =(

Been very spoilt today. Went to the shop that sells movie paraphernalias that I mentioned yesterday to get some Harry Potter sourvenirs and I told my friend that I was too busy to have dinner with them. Bad friend right? But guess they aren't much better themselves if they really touched their hearts and think. They didn't even ask CF out even though tomorrow is his birthday. Wonder if they remember that even. Anyway, I don't care too much already. Since they want to keep everything they know from me and letting me know at the last minute, why should I let them know anything at all if I don't feel like it? Since they only reply me whenever they feel like it and when they are free, why should I reply them at the moment they ask? I have my things to do too. I have my life too. I am not sitting at home waiting for them to show me some attention. I don't have to agree to whatever they say. I don't have to fit their schedule. I don't have to say "yes" to everything they say. I have my opinion, my life, my attitude.......

4th July 2004 Sunday

Yesterday went to work. Hee. My favourite student came yesterday. Gave me a ball with a smiling face on it. Touched. Cute girl. =p Passed by Esplanade yesterday when I went out with my Mum and Sis and saw a shop there selling movie paraphernalias. Saw a couple of sourvenirs for the Harry Potter movies, including flyers, movie posters, EZlink stickers and many many more. Better stop talking before I cannot restrain myself from going to buy.

Boring day at home today. The sky was black half the day but the rain never did came. Was looking forward to a thunderstorm but it didn't come. Instead, a thunderstorm between my Mum and Sis did happen. Bad day. Now still wondering what to do later. Bored bored bored....... How I hope my reservation for the Harry Potter book is ready now. The NLB people are really inefficient. =(

1st July 2004 Thursday

Busy day at work today but one thing good about being busy is time flies while you are at work. It is night before I knew it. One of my favourite student turned up today. She is supposed to come tomorrow but she changed her schedule at the last minute. Was so surprise to see her but I guess that is a pleasant surprise. Added a little spice to my day. =p But that would also mean no more spice for tomorrow. Well, let's hope I am wrong. Really hope to have a good day tomorrow. Beginning to feel a little lonely here.

Who needs friends who only treat me as a clown for their entertainment and only look for me when they can't get any company? Who needs friends who doesn't tell me everything when I trust them with what I have? I rather stay with the small children and by myself.
