Teacher's Day entry

Time of the year to feel the immense sense of nobility being a teacher. YUp, the usual. Table littered with pretty packages and cutesy cards. =)

However it didnt really feel like 'our' day cos it was combined w mufti day, theme being retro. Anyway, i put on my most psychedelic top and bell pants, complete w a scarf ard my head...woo hoo retro A-Go-Go babe... and won one of the best dressed teachers. Tot that was cool.

Cant realli focus on writing this now as a particular person's songs r playing on the player now.
Lotsa thoughts...perhaps that's wat brought me back to this blog. Let's see where shall we start...

Office relations getting a bit trickier as i balance w a pal who happens to be on the 'bad' side of the others and the surrounding bad karma coming fr neighbouring cubicles. Dun realli care cos i tink some ppl r behaving in a plain silly manner so i openly 'announce' our friendship by appearing w her often. To others i'd say...go eat ur socks or something.

Had a torturous teacher's day dinner coz needed to be mc for the lucky draw. Thank God i managed to get away w smiling and holding the silly lucky draw container in the shape of a huge wine glass. Let the Mc role go to may...coz i dun like to do it and i tink she does. Even simple stuff like seating arrangements can get screwed up. Everyone sorta expected me to sit w them, my p5 and p4 pals...and we cant all squeeze into one. Den had to go in may;s car coz needed to be there early to prepare and ended up seating w her and gang. And supposed to 'book' seats for my poor outcast fren who happens to be a vegetarian and was sadly relegated to the Vegans table. And missed an sms fr another fren who had to be stuck w her chinese teacher gang which i tink she dun realli wan. All a big mess...plus i didnt eat much. =P Peeved!
*Afterthoughts: juz sit where u wan and some ppl shld juz keep their mouths shut abt others. Cant stand how ppl can openly 'joke' when we all knoe it's bordering on an insult/sarcasm.

Stupidly went to throw away the winners in the first few rounds den discovered the silly SMC wanted another draw for 3 top prizes for everyone last minute. =P Totally peeved man! First time digging in the bin (toilet bin mind u) for the pink strips of paper...cept for may who dug w me...den managed to choke up the toilet bowl coz we dumped too much paper all at once. Cant help sniggering when the SMC head went to pick the winners from among the tainted strips...lol...

Thankfully the nite was saved by a nice nite-out w some new ppl and some close ones @ New Asia Bar. Chill out is nice...everyone said we shld do it more often. Had a bit too much to drink plas empty stomach so kinda started to see pixels of black and white momentarily during the nite. Quite cute to see shue's expression when i told her to hold me coz i can see her face in pixels. =)

Back to mufti day. Did/taught an A-Go-Go dance routine on stage w 3 other colleagues impromptu after a 15-min rehearsal. As i was telling ai lei...this had hugely depleted the gdwill we share...purely did it for her sake actualli. she looks a bit off...dunno y i m worried abt her but yeah...will try to encourage her more.

Oh yeah...i hav my mum to blame for this.
Happened to channel surf one day and chanced upon a korean drama Stairway to Heaven. Not realli my cup of tea but as i watched, i cant help but get sucked into the pathetic melodramatic storyline. Major sobfest. Mum was hooked...BOUGHT the vcd set and there goes my entire social life this week- in front of the google box changing vcds after vcds.
Reached ep 12 but cant tahan so skipped to last ep. Anyone who's thinking of watching this show think twice. SAD ending. I m terribly pissed.
The only thing that kept me going was this droolsome Kwon Sang Woo who makes the shirt and biz suit the most desirable fashion item any guy shld get. DrOOL!Dimples, 6 pecs, lena and muscular, charismatic...
Need i say more?Sigh...all my chances of finding romance is dashed and i m doomed for eternity!

Turbulence for a High-S Person

Looks like lotsa things r gonna take a drastic change for a while...i hate changes. Never been able to like new stuff unless they r guaranteed easy to swallow.
Which leaves me wonder if i m the only dodo that is marching on the spot while everyone else is moving on forward...with the times, with their lives, with their goals...

Yina is leaving soon for Beijing. Lydia has already left. Audz's no longer the preggie. Mich is no longer the laid-back person who used to fall asleep at her desk.
They r all destined for something newer, perhaps higher.
I m still here in sunny Singapore, still teaching at the same place, still staying in the same house, same room, still by myself, still me. After all these years.

Seems like a long time i've been dis contemplative in my blog.
Its a feeling hard to describe - bittersweet seems the best word so far.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." - Psalm 23:1

It's official...

This blogger will like to announce that Abby is selected as the New Face of Nadir's Laptop Backgrd for the month of August. This shld come as no surprise for many, though there were tough competition in the final rounds when the two finalist battled it out for the top spot. The other contender, Jay Chou, lost by an inch. This is largely due to the Cuteness Quotient being taken in to account and Jay had mainly scored high on the Cool Quotient - especially when his hair is swept to cover most of his face. In the words of the judge, he is the EPITOME of COOL. It seems that the judge is swept off her feet by Abby's adorable yawn as she screwed up her cutesy mouth.

Life does seem to be fruitfula nd will defiitely go on whether u realise it or not.
This is wat i felt after meeting up w my class from vj. Among the gals there is gonna be L who's gonna get married in nov, Em r.o.m.ing in dec, YY shopping for a ring...

Reality does seem to hit u like a bullet train.
Wham-bam! There goes 25 years of ur life.
So what's it gonna be for the next 5-10 years?

Was really happen when i got to corner eve for a sharing. Really glad she's still gg church and being faithful. And, she's with a man of God. =)
I felt blessed juz listening to her share about her job, family etc. It seemed soo long we last caught up w each other and this being my very good pal in college. I feel so ashamed for not contacting her. Somewhat laziness has slipped in amist the pile of work and lost in the span of time.

Felt certain musings shld be written down on real paper instead. Will try to dig up my old trusty journal. These r the times when technology fails man.

Now i can transfer watever maternal instincts i have onto the cutie-pie.
And the current Cheena-speaking-level is on all-time high due to Jay's cd in my discman. This sympton will prob last one month.
So beware! Disclaimer has been written.
