Haha, I’m back to wipe the cobwebs off my blog! LOL..
Been quite busy these days with LWY stuffs (as usual.. ya heheehe!) but that was not without other events happening of coz!
Celebrated Samasan’s bday on weds, she really din expect it, although she did smell a rat. Hehehe, It was indeed a surprise well-planned 
Had 25/05 gathering yest, and turnout was.. rather disappointing =( Nvm, I’m sure we’ll meet up again soon! 
TW trip and pre-grad trip planning in progress =)
Hasn’t reached me yet =P So totally not in the mood to study nor revise my notes at all! Apart from playing piano (of which I still can’t get my notes right.. and I only get to practise today when there are finally NO students) and surfing the net, I so totally just wanna nua… and nua… and nua summore! =P
5 hour break plan 2mr: Badminton session! LOL.. I’m so gg to sweat it out 2mr. =P Plus jazz after that. woots! =D LOL. Need that exercise =P
Nua.. nua.. nua.. to the extent that I dun even feel like gg for tuition every now and then, though I do love the curiosity that my students display, albeit the noisiness amidst their excitement =)
Heard from Sher that this round of practicum posting will be the final one. I sure hope I get back BWSS.. =x *fingers crossed*
Woke up this morning from a dream which I must blog down before I forget all about it! LOL! Fictitious names gg to be given hehe..
Dreamt that I was teaching one of the classes from X Sec during my practicum, with the P and VP observing me. The class was creating havoc! And I couldn’t seem to get them interested despite the 2 VIPs sitting at the back of the classrooms. I was quite a nervous wreck! Then my mentor stepped in. Can’t rem if the 2 VIPs were still there, but could only rem that my mentor chided the class for purposely creating havoc when my classroom management was usually ok.
Hmmm.. I guess the dream kind of reflects my subconcious.. I wonder what kind of class I will face in the future??! Ok. Back to work.
Entering the 2nd week of school.. Loads of meet ups over the past week, such as that of last Tues, finally met up with Kitty, Kelly and Queen! Gosh.. Speaking of them, I should start typing the letter soon. Though the chances of me gg back BWSS is not that high, still, no harm trying! Hehe.
Enjoying the 3 day week that I have, but then again, because of the breaks on TUes and Thurs, I so totally don’t feel like studying, much less to say that the week seem to crawl by like a snail! =X
Went for the first training session of Chingay Motivators, hehe. I’m quite surprised that I can get that high Well, sometimes it is good if you sign up alone, at least you make new friends (eh… but not when you realised that they are mostly younger than you! *pouts* I’m getting old). Hehe. And I’ve successfully persuaded Wankay to join me! LOL. Ok la.. I din persuade her.. she was that interested We can now both get high together! LOL. Make it a BIG BANG for our uni days! LOL. I hope I din make the wrong decision in trying this out hehe.
5 hour break again today, had K-lunch! LOL. And needless to say, it was a lot of singing ehhehe. Singing is turning into one of my favourist pastimes! LOL. And oops.. I haven’t been practising my piano (dun kill me Soph!) LOL.
Went for jazz after lesson today. I kind of like the pace of the lesson. Hehe. I’m not that good a dancer, so honestly speaking, actually I want to try venturing out into places where no one knows me, and I’m a beginner. I really need to boost up my self-confidence in this area. Although there are slight imrpovements in dance recently, and to me it is already a breakthrough, I kind of feel its not enough. It’s the perfectionist at work again, since I have so much time now. =x
OK.. I should work on that. Time to sleep! Off-day 2mr! Wee!
Pardon the cobwebs on the blog.. been busy voting for LWY.. =D
Started off 1st day of school yest by carpooling with Esther from Woodlands.. It has really been quite sometime since I’ve last woken up at this kind of timings! 3 day week this semester perks me up though..
Lessons began officially yest. No more intro to course for 2 hours =( LOL.. ok.. and oh no.. the whole world is reminding me over and over again that I’m going to be a year 4 student soon, going out to teach officially etc etc. Eh, seriously speaking, I’m torn apart between wanting to teach, and wanting to be a student again!! =x It really strikes me that it has already been 3 years since I’ve graduated from TJ! LOL. Nostalgia hit when I was at Cash Studio singing that day, when I saw all the TJ open house goodie bags!! -_-”
Anyway.. had a 5 hour break yesterday, and realised that I have forgotten to bring my lappy, so I couldn’t vote nor watch my dramas as planned!! =x So the time was spent idling about with Eliz and Chun Feng.. I do enjoy spending time with them, they make me feel very relaxed, and dun make me feel left out. Badminton next week during the 5 hours!! Woots.. Must plan how to spend every week’s 5 hour break…
Ok.. shall go off to do my stuffs alr..
And Tingzi, welcome back when you see this 2night/2mr morning!!!!! Woots!!!!! I can’t wait to see you again after ages!!!!!!!!!
Before I see ppl like Yumin! LOL..
We finally met up after how many years, and she is still as skinny as ever since I’ve seen her in TJ! LOL.. We had a vvvvv full lunch at Crystal Jade’s Korean BBQ buffet.. great spread of scrumptious food! Hehe. Caught up with her =D
Basically, this week is full of gatherings. Met up with Wei Ling and JS yest to watch Sherlock Holmes! Not a bad movie, though the case is not really that enticing. Hmmm.. Next up, I wanna watch Treasure Hunter! Hehehe. Ok.. Its more of the cast la that will feed my eyes 
But for now.. Lack of blog posts is due to vigourous voting for Rach! =D
Happy New Year to all!! 1st entry of 2010, been too busy to look back at 2009 back then! So.. Here’s a recap :
2009:
Results dropped, but I’m still contented with my lot, for I know I’ve done my best already, so I dun really have room for regret =) Many things have happened in this year towards the end, esp with my grandfather’s passing near this sem’s exam period, so I’m contented to have maintained my GPA, my only competitor is myself, so as long as I have done my best, everything sets itself into place =)
BA Club.. I can’t really say I’ve been a good EXCO member, but I did try to help whenever it is needed. =) Letting go is perhaps a good option, for I dun think I can juggle 2 EXCO positions well. I wanna leave some time for myself too!
SFA, as a dance – I din really perform much, apart from the Mid-Autumn Festival one, because I still stick to my principle of not performing. I do like the feeling of performing, but I know I can’t really take the stress level.. so =D. Welfare wise, I’ve been trying to do my part too, buying the cakes etc.. Hehe. Thank goodness I still can survive on tuition pay! I’m asked to come up with a proposal.. of which I haven really thought of what I can do for 2010.. Hmmm. Xmas gathering wasn’t planned by me this time round, coz Soph and I were in HK! Hehehe.
And of coz… My first trip overseas alone officially with Soph! To the place that I have always wanted to go although I hav been there b4.. hehe. Weather was good, no doubt cold!
And also.. 梁文音，who started my 追星之旅！Haha. A little late to have started on this journey, but she was really the first one to have caught my attention during One Million Star 2.. Haha. It started with supporting mentally in feb, to attending her events in April as a shy person, to full scale fan in may, when she came and I warmed up with the other Zhiyins. To planning for the celebratory event in dec and in nov, how high we were when Rach won the 3 biggest awards!! And how can I forget.. going to KL for the first time to chase idols.. hehehe.
Also.. my 21st~! Along with others’ 21st hahaha. Reading Tingzi’s blog has reminded me that I have to put this part in.. hehe. I loved all the presents given, though I dun have much storage space in my room hehe Most imptly, I felt the love of my family and frens.. and zhiyins! =D
Working life wise, if you have been reading my blog, I enjoyed it a lot with the colleagues that I had =D! I wanna go back Bowen! =D
Also, I started doing things that I really liked.. such as.. embarking on piano! My foundations are still not there, but then again, ya, its somewhat a crash course.. hehehe. This hols, I really din gif myself much stress, only enjoyed thoroughly, watching dramas, going out and catching up with frens etc!
Health wise.. I need to really keep up to every year’s resolution.. seems that I really can’t take on too much, my body will start flashing the minute I try to burn the midnight oil.
All in all, it had been a fulfilling and eventful year, no doubt tiring and a test of my limits, but as the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going, what doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger!!
2010 – Resolutions, Hopes, Dreams and Wishes:
1) As usual, every year, the top of my list, health is of utmost priority. I dun want to have flu every now and then in a semester! Gosh.. Last sem I succumbed to flu 3 times! Thank goodness the H1N1 scare was not that bad then..
2) Learn more dance from elsewhere? To train up my techniques etc? I wanna try NTU’s contemp or chi dance.. but kind of scared.. =x
3) Maintain or even push up my grades.. hehe.
4) Practise piano, train up the skills etc =D
5) Driving License la! (LOL.. ok this is a bit hard, given that I dun have much motivation to learn this)
Hopes, Wishes, Dreams:
1) Great colleagues.. and to be posted back to Bowen! Then it’ll be the reunion of the 6 babes again! hehehe.
2) Wisdom for teaching
3) Pre-graduation trip to Taiwan, Hainan and maybe.. Europe? =D
4) Do well in piano exam =D Means I have to be more hardworking la hehe.
And of course.. be happy
Can’t wait for Tingzi to be back!! =D
Back from HK and missing the stuffs there alr, esp the temperature! But then again, it is true that wherever you are u will feel as though you wanna stay at that place.. Temperatures there was super cold.. ranging from 11-16 deg, it was the coldest week in HK, according to weather forecasts! LOL. Been super busy with gatherings since I came back!
Day 1:
Arrival at HK!! Pretty Late I would say, after taking our luggage etc.. Contacted Hui Xuan, who just came back from Guilin too! LOL. Went to our hotel, which ws pretty small but provided great service! Stopped over for dinner/tea break.. and got a taste of the long awaited.. or rather.. much anticipated Bo Luo Yau! LOL! I love that bun la.. must be authentic!! Went for a tour around HKU and boy, the scenery was really quite breathtaking. Lots of places to take photos hehe. And we toured around Central/Sheung Wan.. Nothing much there because it was rather late alr.. And the skies turned real dark early at 5.30pm! LOL.
Day 2:
Met up with Hui Xuan in the afternoon due to the unexpected traffic jam. And after a while.. ta-da! We reached Mongkok! Our shopping friend.. hahaha. Spent a lot at the Argyle Centre, which is somewhat a fusion of Far East Plaza and Bugis Village, explaining why we saw so many students there! Have no idea why their students are so eng!! Dun need to go school?! Oh wells.. after Argyle Centre, HX went off to her roomie’s bday, while Soph and I continued our shopping expedition at Ladies’ Street! LOL. We bought DVDs and my boots! Weee! After a bowl of warm dessert (the temp was dropping to 12 degrees!) we went to Tsim Tsa Tsui’s Avenue of Stars.. Ironically, we din pay much attention to the Symphony of Lights.. More of admiring the neon lights! Hahaha. Enjoyed walking along Victoria Harbour =D
Day 3:
Off to Ocean Park! It was a tough journey there for we lost our way to Admiralty, alighted at the wrong stop of the tram statioN! Ultimately reached there and went for the animal displays! LOL. And no, except for the first ride that we saw, I din take any more rides hehe. Pandas! LOL. Took the cable car down too, the view was nice.. =D Seriously, I felt like I could just stay here forever!! Went into this illusion house thing that played with our eyes.. fun =D Subsequently, we popped by my relatives’ place for dinner at Kowloon Bay, and after that, came across this shopping mall with vvv nice teddy bear wedding displays!! Couldn’t resist takign photos with all of them hehe. Photos all on facebook, Soph’s accnt!
Day 4:
It was off to Wong Tai Sin temple, the all-so-famous attraction, which actually “consolidates” all the diff Taoist and Buddhist Gods. Quite an eye-opener, and went to “qiu qian” also, since it was not often that we could do this here. Subsequently, we went to Kowloon Bay again for tea break and for my Po Lo Yau!!! Weee! LOL. Ok, I just love that bun. After HX left, Soph and I were bored and din know what to do after exploring the MTR area of Kowloon Bay.. so.. we randomly entered this K-Box outlet at one of the complexes and spent the rest of the afternn there! LOL. Wanted to go bowling, but it was kind of more expensive than Sg. Popped by Diamond Hill MTR’s Plaza Hollywood, and went to the Peak after that since the tram was operating till 12am. Gosh, it was alr 10 degrees, and with the winds, at the Peak, it must have been at least 8 deg! It was so cold to the extent that my hands were numb! But again, despite the 45degrees tram ride which allowed us to see everything almost upside down, th view was nice!
Day 5:
It was off to Lantau Island’s Ngong Ping! On our way up the mountain/hill, saw a lot of village house, that kind of look like our mini condos along those private housing estates. Only diff is that one “condo” is owned by one family! Goes to show how big the village houses are. But then again, it must be really inconvenient to stay in the middle of a hill, I can’t imagine what time the students have to wake up just to go to school! On reaching the Giant Buddha, we realised that it was by no means easy.. for we had to climb up at least 200 steps to reach it! Goodness, real stamina training there, because even after that, we literally went hiking just to see the Wisdom Path. Ok la.. Wisdom must be gained in the long run =x Went back to Mui Wo to take the ferry back, din have much time to visit Tai O.
Back at HK Island, we tried finding food at SoHo, but it was super ex. LOL. The Central-Mid Levels Escalator was really long.. so it was a long way down for us again. We finally settled for this Zi Char stall nearby, food was good, though hygiene wise…LOL!
And then it was to Lan Kwai Fong! Great mix of music, great drinks, but lack of clubs to dance. Ok la, I was quite tired also, so I din mind that part. Oh ya, their pubs have hangers for bags under the tables! Innovative =D If I live in HK, I dun mind coming here every now and then to chill out for the music =)
Day 6:
Went to Macau, and woke up super early.. though we still got our 7 hours of sleep. Hehe. That’s the good thing abt Free and Easy trips la, you plan your own time hahahaha. Turbojet seats were rather posh and comfy compared to the ferry seats that I took 6 years ago hehe. 50 mins ride was for us to kun on board la hehe.
Upon arrival at Macau, we took the super duper huge and inconvenient map around to help us navigate. Gosh, Macau is really small!! As usual, we overshot our bus stop again hahaha. Reached our destination- Ruins of St Pauls ultimately, but not without stopping by to try the AUTHENTIC Pork Chop Bun! Hehehe. Reallly nice, and their bubble tea was great too. Bought Portugese Egg Tarts along the way too and it was delicious!! Hahaha!!! After visiting the Big Fortress, we also went to the Musuem of Macau since it was free entry for that day (10th anniversary of Macau’s return to CHina). Finally headed back to the ferry terminal, and gosh, we almost missed our jet!!! =x I was so frantic.. After all, we dun have accomodation here!
Back at HK’s Shun Tak Centre, where we boarded the jet, we had Yoshinoya’s limited edition for Winter – Shabu Shabu! Big portion! Carrying a lot of souvenirs (food!).. Decided to visit my relatives again, since we were leaving the next day, and Soph went back to the hotel. My dear relative bought Roast Pigeons for us! =) But it was freaking heavy to bring back..
Day 7:
Full of unwillingness to leave…Bought my Bo Luo Baos!
That’s about it! I wanna go back again!! LOL!
