enjoying my life so far.

i am now getting myself familiarised with a new sch, new environment, new classmates, and new hall.

yesterday i was looking through my old files to see if i can throw away any waste paper or useless notes/worksheets, i came across this piece of paper with some scribblings.

these scribblings are cheesy lines extracted from a chinese movie which starred gu tian le, gigi leung and charlene choi.

the first part:

浪漫是要一辈子记得的
浪漫是出轨的，是冒险的
浪漫是不实在，不认真的

and the second part:

不同的花代表不同的语言
不同的数目代表不同的意思

一朵代表唯一

两朵代表二人世界

三朵代表我爱你

四朵代表海誓山盟

五朵代表无怨无悔

六朵代表称心如意

七朵代表无尽祝福

八朵代表请你原谅

九朵代表天长地久

十朵代表十全十美

十一朵代表一心一意

十二朵代表心心相印

for guys, nx time u can say all these to hao2 xiao2 ur gf or the girl that u wanna woo. haha.

back from camp

finally, i am back from the freaking tiring 4 days 3 nights physical education orientation camp.

actually i haven been to alot of camps.

let's see.

i went to the pri 3 camp. i went to this youth camp organised by cdac when i was in pri five or six. i went for the canoeing camp when i was in sec 3. i went to student leadership camp when i was in tjc year 1. that camp was damn siong and damn tiring. i nv get involved in any camps at all when i was in uni, be it as a freshie or as a senior. so plus this pe camp, i think the total number of camps i have went to can use the fingers on my hands to count.

if you ask me which camp is the most siong one, it must be the student leadership camp at tjc. that one is simply terkan camp. it tests our leadership abilty and also stretch our physical limits to the maximum.

the pe camp is not as siong, but its also quite tiring. i injured my arm, and my whole body is aching. so i decided not to go for dance this evening, and i told mike that i INJURED my arm, but hor, this piece of news get blown out of proportion, and everybody thought that i BROKE my arm. haha.

so let me recap wat i did for the whole camp.

first day nothing much, just get to noe everyone in my og, come up with a og cheer, and then make our og mascot. the og cheer is very garang, we copy a bit from the new zealand all blacks. if you dunno who they are, they are the new zealand rugby national team players, and their jerseys are black in color. they are very garang, and before they play their match, they will always do a war cry to boost their morale and scare the shit out of opponents.



doing this cheer is quite tiring also lah. imagine hor we go play telematch or games, then got 10 stations, then the station master of every single station want us to show them the cheer, so we will like do at least ten times everyday. -_-'''

second day have to wake up very early for the initiation run, led by singapore track legend c.kunalan. the seniors say that he already sixty plus years old, still can complete 2.4 in ten min plus. this is simply crazy.

after the initiation run is amazing race, around the whole ntu. my group si bei siao on. on flat ground, we jog, only on up slope, then we walk.

up next is sports clinic, where we learn and play different sports. got soccer, touch rugby, handball, ultimate frisbee, floorball and this very interesting sport called tchoukball.



tchoukball is getting more and more popular. taiwan is the reigning world champion for 13 years. right now singapore is 2nd best in asia. the tchoukball national team player that came down to teach us say that he wanna set up a tchoukball team in nie, and so i sign up for it. hopefully i can represent singapore in this sport? haha.

third day is a whole day of exercise again. got land telematch, water telematch and war games. the war games is damn fun. but damn ugly and aggressive also. i shall not elaborate much about it here. those who want to noe wat i did can just come and ask me. and hor it is during the war games that i INJURED my right arm.

finally on the last day, which is a sunday, we played games of frisbee, floorball and tchoukball in the morning. then afternoon bye bye and go home liao.

i am now super shag, and sch is starting tmr! :'(

anyway tmr onwards i will be staying in hall le. those who wanna meet up at boon lay for makan sessions at night feel free to jio me.

why so serious

just watched the movie with darling at jurong point.

i must say heath ledger is damn good. his 出色的演技 as joker really stands out, to the extent that batman is being overshadowed by him.

its such a pity that health ledger died young.

batman is very poor thing in the movie, because he forever have to live in the darkness, where pple in gotham city thinks that he is a criminal or an outlaw. he is willing to sacrifice his hero status in exchange for the city's safety, which i think is very noble.

hope there will be a part 3 coming up, but its a pity that there will be no more joker. even if there is, i believe no one can ever surpass heath ledger.

-----------------------------------------------

and this is my 600th post!

join me in the applause!

*clap clap clap*

599th post

so this is my 599th post. cant believe i had blog for so long, and blog so much!

well this blog has been around for 3 years. and it has attracted lots of visitors. i thank my friends who has visited my blog regularly. hopefully my blog got entertain you one way or another. haha.

i have now embarked into my new phase of life. it feels good to be a student once again. the only bad thing is got to do assignments and must study for exams.

i will be very busy for the next few days. tomorrow watching dark knight with darling! yay! i am going to see for myself how good heath ledger is. then thur until sunday is the camp for the pe pple. have to stay overnight. :(

not that i mind staying overnight, but just that fri night i got dance prac, and sat night i going to watch the wind of shaolin with my mum at esplanade. hopefully can chum siong with them to release me on fri and sat night. and then sun evening got dance again, all the way from five thirty to ten pm! wah lao damn siong.

anyway i checked into hall already. my roomie is a moe prc scholar. hoho. i shall not say any comments. i will just observe.

and i browse through the hall website. the facilities are cool! i am going to enjoy using them. their CCAs are cool too! i think i am going to join sepak takraw and soccer. i am so itching to play takraw. maybe i will want to try out the ntu takraw ivp also.

and if i really got the time, i can join their dance. ntu wushu is another option. although their wushu is the 传统 type, which is not my cup of tea.

thanks again to everyone who have been patronizing my blog!

memorable farewell

finally the day has come.

early in the morning, i walked into the sch, stopped in my tracks for a few seconds, and took a whole glimpse of the sch. finally, i told myself, i have "graduated". with flying colours i suppose? haha. there is this saying that goes: if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. =p

started the day by going up to my sec 4 express pure chem class for their remedial. my last remedial with them. my upper study very nice, told the whole class that today is my last day, and ask them to give me a round of applause, which they duly obliged. i am very touched. i always enjoyed teaching this class, although sometimes they are very noisy and for that i am quite pissed with them, but after a short while i am ok with them already.

the morning bell rang. so i headed to the parade square for morning assembly. my last time standing there, taking attendance for my form class.

and the rest of the day in sch was bidding farewell to my colleagues, my kids and taking photos.

this lady is my jie jie. haha. she teaches history and english. she is always pissed with me because i always lower down the temperature of the air con. cos i pe teacher mah, everytime after pe lesson when i go back to the staffroom, i always feel very hot, so i will just lower the temperature to 22 degree celsius. then she very afraid of cold, so she will keep complaining and complaining. but all these are done in a good natured way lah. haha.

for that, i always will help her da bao food if i am going outside to eat. cos our canteen food is not really nice, and she is now pregnant, so not convenient for her to go to the coffee shop outside the sch to eat, cos its actually quite far. and she is one lady that really dun look like her age. first time i saw her i thought she is in her mid twenties. but hor she is actually 31! her 保养功夫 is amazing.

and then i always borrow stapler from her, and she got label her stapler with her name, so i always tease her for that. she gave me a farewell present, and no prizes given for guessing correctly wat she gave me.

haha. damn cool. i very touched. :)

my upper study treated me lunch at tung lok! wow!!! cos she said i helped her alot for chem, esp when she was away for maternity leave. at first she ask me wat i wanna eat. so i jokingly said tung lok. but actually she treat me burger king or macdonald i also happy! really! i seriously din expect her to bring me to tung lok, until when she drove me and another colleague to the restaurant. wah lao i was so shocked. haha. then the other colleague keep suanning me for being so greedy. so i quickly tell her go to the hk cafe which is nearby also can, but she dun want, and insist to bring me to tung lok. =p

the food there is nice! but the food come very slow. :(

we ordered this tofu dish which is very special and tasty. on top of the tofu got one layer of spinach which is very nice. we also ordered scallops with xo sauce, 干扁四季豆, fried noodles, har gao and 凤爪. wow so filling.

because the food come very slow, i was late for my last wushu training with my kids. i was late for half an hour. my captain really improved alot. he can now do 侧空翻. so amazing. so he very show off, and keep doing and doing. haha cannot blame him lah. if i noe how to do, i will also do exactly the same thing. =p

after the wushu training, i went to bathe, and prepare for round 2 of the farewell celebrations. this time is a treat by the pe department. we went to this very nice cafe, which have very nice desserts!

dessert in cups. 3 for four dollars eighty cents. yellow one is mango, purple one is blueberry, the brown one is oreo. taste ok only, not very fantastic.



my dessert! the pink one is strawberry tofu! taste very nice and special.



grasshopper mud pie.




you have to order this if you are a chocolate lover. the name is oozing dark chocolate. at first the whole dessert look 平平无奇. but the moment you make a hole in the cake, the dark chocolate will flow out like lava coming out from a volcano, then u eat the dark chocolate together with the vanilla ice cream, wah lao, best combination, 绝配.

this burger is damn big. and the main attraction is the chicken patty. very juicy, very meaty, and the sauce enhance the flavour of the meat by ten times.

i love my colleagues in the pe dept. i think the whole dept is very cohesive, and all of us are very 爽快 and cooperative, and we can get things done sui sui and chop chop. :)

after eating the desserts, its round 3 at pasir ris beach. i am like 跑七月歌台. haha. the kids who went to su-ra-ba-ya with me planned a farewell party cum bbq session.

of course i was very happy and touched, but then got some 不愉快的事情. cos the main group of pple who planned this farewell party buay song two small groups of pple, and just happen that the two small groups of pple also quite close to me. so they just want to go to the party and say bye bye to me, but they are not allowed to go. so one of them very sad, and cried, and went back home. haiz.

ok let's get back to the bbq session. took lots of pics.

i like the following two pics:

it is like we buay song each other with some bbq issues, but seriously speaking, there is no such thing! i wonder who was the photographer that captured this two candid shots. haha.

this two wonderful boys are actually triplets! they dun look alike rite? the third one is studying in dunman high.

finally, a group photo before we leave:

and then, is round 4. meet up with this small group of female students that are super hiao2, plus one more boy. they make a very nice and GIGANTIC card for me.

ok i think that's all. reach home at about 12 midnight. super tired and shag. but very very happy, because of wat everyone had done to make my farewell memorable. thanks to the pple who bought me gifts and cakes. oh and also thanks to the pple who sent me well wishes by sms. appreciate it. :)

i will miss everyone! and i will go back on teacher's day. :)

reflections

time flies really fast. just one more day, and i will be leaving my workplace already. and i will be starting on a new lease of life, for the next two years.

if you ask me whether do i enjoy my one year of work, i can say i have mixed feelings. but one thing i am certain is that i have grown alot, and seen so many things that i bet i will nv have seen if i go to those "branded" schools. there's really so much drama almost everyday, and i bet we can write a book as thick as an encyclopedia about all the daily happenings, or even shoot a 100 episode drama serial. haha.

let's bring back some wonderful memories i had for the past one year:

haiz. i will miss my colleagues and my kids. hope tomorrow i wun be so emo and cry in front of everyone. =p

tuesday post

nothing much to blog about these few days.

right now my life is mainly on sch and dance.

now is already tuesday. 3 more days! and i am liberated. haha.

today i brought a terror class to the swimming pool. i was damn bloody pissed with some of them. bloody freaking childish hyperactive idiots.

when i reach the pool, one of the swimming instructors spoke to me,

"you had a bad day?? you look devastated."

-_-'''

let's see wat prog i have tomorrow. i am bringing classes to the swimming pool again. but thankfully the classes tomorrow are much more well-behaved.

after that will be going to nus for dance.

and after tomorrow, will be 2 more days left!

think i will bring my camera and go around taking pics with my colleagues and the kids.

looking forward to all the farewell makan sessions. yay!

paradise is awaiting me~

red cliff

went to watch it with darling just now.

most hype up chinese blockbuster of the year, how can dun watch? some more i myself is a big fan of 三国演义.

in the movie, i love the characters of zhuge liang, zhou yu, zhang fei and zhao yun the most. i think the actors portray these roles to perfection. and wat a coincidence all start with the letter z. haha.

the movie is really nice, and i think it is a must watch for 三国演义 fans. there are some parts of the movie that made my tears come out, that is when i see guan yu, zhao yun and zhang fei fight so valiantly. btw guan yu is my fav character in 三国演义. but i think the actor who took up the role of guan yu in red cliff is quite chui. he is unable to bring out the essence of guan yu in the movie. i think 陆树铭 did a better job in the drama serial.

cant wait for the second part to come out soon.

and here are some more posters to share:

one more thing to add.

lin zhi ling is very chio. haha.

last 2 days of t-w-i-n-n-ing prog

the second last day for the indon pple in sg.

it started off quite badly.

they were told to assemble at 645, where the bus will pick all of them up and send them to sch. so in the morning, i woke up earlier than usual, and then reach my house downstairs at 630 to wait for a taxi. i thought that in the morning sure got alot of taxis, and i will just wait for at most five minutes, then travel to downtown east (that's where they are staying) take ten minutes, so i will reach there on time.

BUT...

i waited for ten min. no cab came. the cabs that came were hired. my balls keep shrinking and shrinking. i cant imagine the sight of 32 indon kids, 3 indon teachers, and 1 indon vp, plus 1 big bus, waiting for me. i will be screwed. i will be murdered. i will be condemned.

finally, an empty cab came at 645 (i am sure going to be screwed).

he ask me go by which way. so i just tell him go by the fastest way, cos i am late. the moment i say finish, he zhua3 the accelerator all the way and drove damn fast! wow! in the process he sped past two red lights. damn steady. haha.

so i reached downtown east at 655. i saw the bus. i saw the 3 teachers outside the bus looking at my direction. i walk quickly to them. i look at them. i greeted them good morning. they greeted me back. i look inside the bus.

.


.

THE BUS IS EMPTY!!!

wow. amazing. i am already so late. yet they are later than me.

using my zero ability in bahasa indon, i put on the most puzzled expression, and ask them, "students mana???"

one of them noe a bit of english, then tell me, "Late."

hoho. ok. i am saved.

so i 比手划脚, telling them i will go into the chalet and wake all of them up. they smiled and nodded their heads.

i walked to their chalet. i saw a few students. i ask them to hurry up. i reach the chalet. i saw another bunch of students, and the vp. the vp saw me, gave a very apologetic expression.

so i go up to their rooms. some are still bathing. some are still sleeping. some are still making up. -_-'''

and i started to knock on their doors and ask them to hurry up.

725 i go back to the bus. only 16 kids were there. -_-'''

the bus driver was pissed. he said he want to go already. the vp was also pissed. he said we can go to sch first, the rest who were late will take taxi themselves. i was damn shocked. wah! can like that one ah. so i called my vp and ask him. my vp said, "let the teachers make their own decision lah."

wah. ok lor. so scary.

reach sch le. nothing much to blog about sch lessons.

AND THEN!

i saw something. this is one thing that i saw for my first time. and i even touched it. for the first time. let me describe it to you.

it is rectangular.

it is flat.

it has numbers on it.

it is purple in color.

it has a person's face on it.

-- SO WAT ISIT? --

.

.

its a 1000 dollar sg note!!! wow!!!

one of the indon teachers wanted to go back to downtown east to settle some passport problems. she only have a 1000 sing dollar note with her, and want to change small money. i get one of my malay students to tell her got two options

1) i go to the bank at bedok central and change for her, if she trust me.

2) i lend her money to take cab to downtown east first, then she return to me.

guess wat she chose? she chose option 1.

so i was damn stressed. i carefully take the 1000 dollar note from her. carefully fold it into half. and carefully put it into my pocket. i think i do all these actions in a very kua zhang and animated manner. she and my student keep on laughing. haha. then i go into the general office and saw my vp. so i tell him i going to the bank to change money. he saw the 1000 dollar note he also stunned. just nice my p and the admin manager was there. my p has small change for 1000 dollars. but my admin manager scared the 1000 dollar note is fake. but it looks genuine lah. so my p took out the small change. yay no need to make a trip to the bank. sekali i got robbed or the note flew out of my pocket i am in deep shit. and i nv take a pic with the 100o dollar note. sian.

there is a bbq session at night. we got lots of food! there's chicken wings, hot dogs, stingray and otak. some of my kids' parents prepared food like char kway teow, fried macaroni, and spaghetti! another kid bought home-made ice cream from dunno where. the flavours are very nice, got horlicks, milo, wild strawberry and vanilla etc. i was super full.

after the whole bbq session, it was a mass crying session. all the kids are so emotional, hugging each other and crying terribly. we teachers just stand there and see them cry.

the t-w-i-n-n-ing prog is finally coming to an end. i am sure my kids are very tired, having to accompany the indon kids most of the time, and coming home late every night, and they also have alot of sch work to catch up with. hope that they will quickly get lots of rest and then chiong for their studies.

as for me, i will just slowly count down to my last day in the sch. heard that some kids are organising a farewell party for me. i am very touched. :'(

some photos:

with the indon boys

the indon girl on my right is a model. haha.

check out our tees! i wearing adidogs, bought by my two sisters when they went bangkok. i think it is very cool. haha. the pinktooth tee is damn cool too.

and i just received the tees that darling bought for me from bangkok! very nice! got one couple tee very interesting. nx time we wear and take picture. =)
