Pissed with a CAPITAL PThere comes a time in everyone's life when you simply can't take the stupidity of yourself and others and just want to slam your whole face into the wall.
Such a time has now come...for me.
I should have checked the darn paper IN DETAIL and METICULOUSLY. Alas, it is not in my nature to have any one of the two. To think I went down to the printing room 3 times and I failed to spot the errors. Call me blind.
Besides hating myself to bits now, I just wanna shred a few ppl to bits too. The person who sent down the darn EDITED paper, who went on to mix the EDITED with the NON-EDITED version, causing a fusion of sorts. THe person who did not come back to me when she spotted the errors. THe person who (seriously..intention was kind) edited an error for me by calling me when i was in camp and hence i gave access to the UNEDITED copy on my laptop, clearly indicating it was UNEDITED. Of cos, it came out wrong and that was the errata that i did not make.
Nevertheless, it doesnt shit just once. Another spelling error was spotted on the exam day itself, and this error was never brought up to me when the paper was apparently vetted. Then, cos of the EDITED-UNEDITED combo, my cloze ended up with one page belonging to the UNEDITED and the other EDITED.
Found another EDITED-UNEDITED swop when i went back and compared the two.
I swear I'll visit my optician twice a year faithfully. I hereby take responsibility for my oversight and pray that the other person will take hers.
Cream of the cake? Someone telling me its not serious and it's all coz i was in camp, cannot help it. I admit to my sinful thought..if she was right in front of me, I might have just socked her in the eye.
Hell had no fury than a woman feeling unjustified!Grant me the vengeance GOD!!!!!

UpdatesCame back once again to civilisation without an single mozzie kiss..cept one for my finger which disappeared as miraculously as it appeared. Presenting...the life of an accompanying adult to hordes of kids in a desolate place void of daily pleasures (internet, tv, nice toilets...u name it):
A Place I called HOME not too long ago...Jalan Bahtera
Kind people do exist...and they do come in generous portions..late in the night...
Most eventful moment came when i had to wait 2 hrs in my wet clothes for lb's kayaking session at 5 so that she'll have a partner in me.
It did left a mark...literally..
Thus explains my lil butt print on the floor of our air-conditioned quarters...
2 kayaking sessions in a single day left my arms aching the next day. Time to rethink those arm-toning exercise regime.
Summing up, it's actually quite fun..minus the 100001 times my lil ry came looking for me...i have been hailed as the Queen of Patience. I tink i realli deserve that title...and a lil more pay. My own actions even astound me when i found myself sitting down w ry (the nth time that day) talking and listening to y he threw a tantrum and started wailing...
Good news to share (or at least i tink it is)...my masters application got accepted and i'll be starting my part-time lessons next yr, twice a week @ YOU KNOW WHERE.
Must remember to send back the reply slip and get ready many stuff needed. Tiring jus thinking abt them.
In case u r planning to catch Into the Blue, think twice. It aint all about the flesh and hot bods. Mebbe it was my medication that i slept now and then through the show.
See...mind is whittling away. Need sleep. Last note..hey sis, happy 18th birthday!
Gosh that made me real old!

RamblingsHere's sending my deepest condolences to all the victims and their families in the recent Bali bombings. Can't help but tink abt the place and how much it must have changed due to all these carnage and destruction. Heart goes out to the ordinary Balinese trying to make a living on the island. Praying that such cruel and senseless acts will cease somehow.
Loaded with apologies as well to audz as i found out her condition a few days ago. So many things i didnt know nor did i bother to msg her to check on her. Been so swamped with work that it's mostly what i think about. Praying too that He will protect the baby within and make His presence felt in the entire family.
A rare night indeed that i am still wide awake (involuntarily) past midnight. These days i can fall asleep anywhere at any time as long as i have a stack on my lap. Pastor spoke about the important things versus the urgent things. Guess i have indeed been chasing after the urgent rather than the important things in life - His ministry, my friends & family.
Been turned off by smsing unless absolutely necessary and emails ain't my preferred choice of communication. Came to realise neither is making phone calls. Which leaves me being a one with inept communication skills and backward technology. Ironic indeed that i should even be sharing this on the blog.
i have been a bad friend. Even button laughingly agreeds i will not even meet her if she does not msg to call for a meet-up. And this coming from a friend who's staying a block away. Haven't shared with anyone recently about my life, what's been going on etc and amazingly i survived. No man is an island, people say. I choose to oppose the idea.
People's lives change so drastically once they move on, get married and have kids. Priorities change...will relationship then change if perspectives have been shifted and things ain't looking the same since we are at different points in our lives? I delight in the simple things in life. Touching a preggie's tummy always touches me inside knowing and realising how amazing He has chosen to create and bring about life. Yet i feel like i m a little girl...stuck in a crazy world. How else to better describe it but with a song.

I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to turn
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles
with lemonade
Play hide and seek
with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore and
Imagine how I'll make the world
a better place
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-
Yeah
If I were a little girl
Trying to clean up the whole wide world
I'd kick the bad boys back to school
Teach them fighting's just not cool
I'd give every kid a teddy bear
Turn starving people into millionaires
Break glass ceilings with dynamite
sprinkle a little sugar and spice
Turn the bullies that terrorize
Into pink poodles that bark,
but don't bite
All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-
Yeah
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me from myself
I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world

CONGRATULATIONS!
Here's a warm welcome to Maegan N. Chew who arrived in our world just a few days ago.
Wonder if she'll recognise me since i touch her almost every morning...hmmm
Well done too to her newly-promoted mummy! =)
A lil sad there won't be many tummies left to be touched now that the other preggies r gg off on their leave soon. Shall enjoy while it lasts!
Been sleep deprieved again and hit by the flu bug. Finally finished my paper and handed the entire darn thing up. *phew*
You shouldn't let the same person SET and VET papers during the same term! This is ridiculous!
Never realise home and my mattress were such cosy places to hide in. Social life has dropped to zilch and yet i m happy just to get my butt home and vegetate.
Come to think of it..it has been weeks, if not at least a month i have not been inside a movie theatre. Pretty amazing i must say!
Yez nite's dinner was a disaster. I mean the programme. Attention to all who r planning their wedding dinners and contemplating asking frens/relatives/etc to perform during the dinner.
Seriously, you NEED to hold an audition. No joke. Don't just allow any Tom, Dick or Harry who thinks that they have the slightest talent to perform for you.
It aint gonna help even if the dinner is held at Four Seasons or that the food was actually quite tasty.
Almost choked when a Band with No Name (yup, that's apparently what they call themselves) massacred More Than Words. Must give credit to the guitarist for her efforts as she's the only saving grace of the band.
Imagine loud voices all going OFF-KEY. It did not even qualify as 'pitchy'. Tragedy!
Then they followed on and slaughtered this chinese song called Guan Huai Fang Shi. From what i remembered about this song, it is indeed tough to go wrong with it. Every single fella in secondary sch den (in my time of course) knew it by heart.
Needless to say, the song just didnt sound right.
So why aint i feeling sorry for this bunch of young gals at the dinner who fared so badly? Becoz blatantly, they simply did not care that the diners were tramautised by their performance and continued to do this 'new' version of Yam Seng by bringing in the cello, maracas, drum and cymbals. Everyone, and i mean everyone, (k with the exception of their faithful family supporters) was slightly stunned and did not know what to say or do. Hence the Yam Seng was weak..at most audible.
Not that i am a great traditionalist and wants to uphold the correct attitude and manner it should be done. Just to put my point across that it flopped. Seriously.
See..my bitchy button is pressed. Never doubt the power of woman, or rather, in this case, the power of an extremely irritated relative at her auntie's wedding dinner.
If i even get married and needs to throw a dinner and happen to have a step-daughter, i'll NEVER allow her to upsurp my night with her juvenile performances.
Which reminds me of the dumb drumming stomp-wannabe performance that i had to perform together with the goodwill of my gang who were all so sweet and obliging.
In uncle vicky's own words, yeah, i tink it was a mockery! Sigh...did they mention let bygones be bygones?
Time to go back to work...at this rate they should really pay me more. Passion and ministry alone do not neccessary keep me strong and healthy.
