hello :)

it has been awhile aye. before i begin, i'd like to say, "Girls, if you want to see my new hair cut please wait till we meet up. :)"

i won't be posting a lengthy one, just a summary of my week. i've been so exhausted this past week that i don't think i'll be able to blog often in the near future. maybe once or twice in a week. 3 times, if i'm lucky.

well anyways, i started training for my new job already. i have to say that this past week has been quite okay. okay in a sense that i'm settling in and all that goes with it. i made new friends and got accustomed to traveling to work. having been so lucky as to being able to walk to and from my old workplace, travelling got me a bit pissed 'cos i had to fork out money for the transport fare. though, i got over it already. haha

i've received my uniform and i'll have to wear it on Monday. the shoes have not arrived yet but i hope that i read and wrote the correct size according to the measurement chart. haha.

besides making new friends, the event that made my week almost perfect was the dinner i had with Mr Moon! though it was short, it is appreciated. i talked about my training mostly to him.
bottomline is that i got to meet him even for a short while. i'm a happy girl this week.

i guess that's about it. don't mind the typos 'cos i'm freaking tired already.

Sunday morning

it's a weekend and i'm up bloody early in the morning. followed mother to work today, on the way to her workplace she showed me the location of HTA. it was a 15 min ride to HTA from CCK mrt station. Even though i'm going with Aki tomorrow morning, it's still nice somehow to know where HTA is 'cos i don't want to be a lost sheep on the first day of work. i don't mind being a lost sheep at school but at work, no way!

now, i'm waiting for mother to end her overtime shift so that we both can head down to IMM, first to cancel sister's cellphone plan, since she's using prepaid now. second is to go window shopping and who knows i might have forgotten to buy some things. and, of course to have our breakfast or maybe lunch. depends on the time we reach IMM that is.

i'd better get off the computer before mother gets into trouble with her boss because of me. hes.

it's not surprising anymore

it's a Sunday, sadly i'm still at home.

i was supposed to be out with boyfriend but he had to cancel it cos of family. i suspected that the date will be cancelled when he didn't call me yesterday night. it just isn't surprising anymore but it is disappointing nonetheless. i turn a blind eye because of the love i feel for him.

love makes us so oblivious of the hurt that we feel sometimes until it decides to show itself. by then it'll be too late to do anything about it but love is patient and love is understanding. so, nothing can stand in it's way until we choose or decide to do something. and that's why we always stand by the ones we love no matter how much they hurt us. even love has it's imperfections.

maybe later i'll be going down to check if my salary has been banked in. if it is then i'll prolly wait for mother to come home so i can go shopping for the stuff i need. retail therapy will really help me get over my disappointment.

too bad sister will be going out with her babyboy later, i need her around to help me make up my mind whenever i go shopping.

well whatever, i love going shopping with mother too. she knows what type of clothes suit me anyways. hopefully my salary is in by now. if not i'll be stuck at home dealing with my disappointment in him.

busy week ahead

funny how my week will start on a weekend instead of the usual Mondays. whatever it may be, i will be quite busy for the next few days prepping for ICA and other personal stuffs.

i have things to buy, quite a list actually and for that i have to plan how much to spend and how much to save 'cos i won't be getting my salary until December. how very sad.

i have to make sure that i have money for public transport saved up. i will be using public transport to get to and from HTA anyways so might as well count that into my finances. i don't want to end up strapped for bus and train fares. i wonder how much i'll get.

before all the happy spending, i have to make sure my bills are paid.

now the question is, should i spend half and save half? i'll be nice to my siblings this time around and give them some pocket money. i also want to give some money to my parents and grandmamas.

this just gives me more headaches man and i don't need it now that i'm having a bloody fever to content with.

stuck at home

so here i am sitting at home with a viral fever going on in my body. i have loads of time on my hands and i don't know what to do with it. usually, i'm good at wasting time. pfft!

i've spent the better part of the morning snoozing in bed, with the fever and all the symptoms it makes the body weak. woke up around noon-ish? chatted on msn after months not even signing in because i've been using Plurk to chat with the girls and it's whole lot more fun than chatting on msn.

i'm done with my laundry, and it's not even 6 yet! oh man, this is one of the slowest days i've had in the year.

anyways, i've been alternating between plurk, facebook and searching for blog skins but got bored as you can see. i wanted to change my blog skin but couldn't decide on a skin plus reading the codes when you're drowsy from medication only serves to make you more drowsy and i feel a major headache coming on. i don't even know how i can even blog in the state of drowsiness i'm in. *shakeshead*

well, whatever, i only hope my fever will subside and disappear come Sunday morning 'cos i won't be able to go out with the boyfriend like that. it's been too long anyways.

what a day

it wasn't really a tiring day but i still felt tired. maybe because it was raining in the afternoon?

well anyways, there were only 3 students present for the morning session and i was like surprised but grateful 'cos i wasn't in the mood to be dealing with annoying students. as my girls would know, i was late for work today due to unforeseen circumstances so it partly explains the mood i'm in.

and now, i'm hungry and sleepy. so if i don't get food to eat soon i'll end up like the kitty in the picture above.

not gonna be a pretty picture i assure you.

how time flies

i had quite a normal day at work today. normal when you're working with kids that is. i bet that one of the things that i'll miss about working with kids is observing their behaviour during their day to day routines at the centre. doesn't sound like that much fun right, observing kids but i find it interesting the way they interact with each other and when they throw temper tantrums.

yes, temper tantrums. though it's always a pain in the arse i find it funny sometimes. weird? well that's just me.

and i've only realised i've left about a week at the centre before i move on to ICA. well if i were to be specific, 9 days but really who's keeping track?

i guess there are it's ups and downs of changing jobs, i'll miss the friends i made, the kids i adore but i'll have a friend when i move on to ICA, plus i'll be hoping that i make more new friends. goodluck to me!

Clique Raya Outing '09

i had fun yesterday. what made this year's raya outing sweeter was the fact that i got to visit houses with my siblings.

we started off pretty late but we still had fun. i think we managed to go to about 10 houses, last was Shaie's house 'cos we started out in the west then went up east. we were out pretty late and me and my siblings reached home about 1 in the morning? if Fadli didn't send us home in his car we'd never reach home. hehe

most of the pictures are up on my facebook account, so feel free to view it.

the only bummer about the whole outing was that i forgot to take pictures when they visited my house. gaahs!

kesian aku, penat2 decorate rumah, tk dpt feature dlm facebook atau blog. lol!

i'm really thanking God that it is a Friday!

i some sort of scream fest with one of my students. i'd rather not go into the details 'cos i believe if i had handled it better and if i were more patient than necessary i wouldn't be in the mess. it has got to do with the homework. i swear it's bloody difficult to make them do their homeworks.

well, today's drama moment happened because of just that, not wanting to do homework. if the SCHOOL teacher hadn't call me i wouldn't be taking soo much of time and patience i had in making sure he does his homework. whatever it was i still felt bad for having to scream at him in the end. i really didn't know what to do, i gave him alot of time. before lunch, after lunch and after tea break. bottom line is i still shouldn't have screamed at him, i should have handled it better.

aku stress bebual pasal ini masalah.

let's talk about tomorrow, i have a medical examination in the morning which is followed by the Clique Raya Outing. the outing will last throughout the day. i'm looking forward to both.

okay, don't ask me why i'm looking forward for the medical examination, i just am. i'm also hoping that there'll be no hiccups during the med exam and hoping that it won't take too long either.

okay bye!

the briefing

today is a rather slow day. a slow morning to start with. i reached the MND complex by 930 am and there was a lot of waiting. briefing and the signing of contracts took about 2 hrs plus.

initially i wanted to go straight to Raffles Medical Centre to get my medical examination over and done with. unfortunately it turns out that i have to go see my optician, again, to re-check the suitability of my current spectacles prescription. well that was stated in the medical exam instruction so i have to follow it. all of this i have to get done before the 26th of October. specifically a week before.

well anyways, the briefing just now was okay i guess. there were about 15 other people besides me. the only other thing that bothers me is that i was the only malay girl there. i'm pretty sure there were no other malay girls besides myself, well it was a small room so basically i could see everyone who was in the room.

besides the mundane things i've blogged about i'm guessing my day will be quite slow.

bye!

teriffic tuesday

i finally had an almost peaceful day at work. well working with kids doesn't give you that much peace and quiet 'cos, kids are just kids. 'nuff said.

my students today were a tiny bit more docile than yesterday. i didn't have to scream as much nor do i need to repeat myself that much. as for my afternoon session students, they were easier to handle today 'cos i took away their privilege of getting to visit the playground for some fun time. instead i helped my colleagues whenever they needed it. mostly looking after the N1's and helping their teacher to arrange and return the sleeping cots.

maybe things are starting look up. well i shouldn't be hoping so much for it since i know i'll get complacent and start slacking. i guess this is one of those professions that you cannot afford to slack at all, we are dealing with people's children.

other than the things mentioned above, i really have nothing else to blog about. maybe tomorrow there'll be something to blog about when i return from the ICA related thingy. that's if i'm not lazy to update.

bye people!

updates

it's been awhile aye.

i have been busy with work, and socializing with people and strangers. in other words i've been busy celebrating Hari Raya, even though my mood for it was gone weeks ago thanks to petty adults i happen to call my relatives. pfft!

well enough about that, they won't change anyways.

the latest news is that i'll be changing jobs by the end of this month. ICA sent a letter saying that i've got the post as an Home Affairs Specialist. here i was thinking that i screwed up yet another important interview. so i was ecstatically happy when i got the letter.

a lot of people, close friends and family especially, supported and helped me in making my final decision. even Mr Moon was there for me if not physically, i still appreciate that he calls me sometimes. i have a complicated r/ship that way.

whatever is in store for me in the future with ICA i'll be looking forward to it but for now i'm going to try and do my best as a student care teacher. i'll be looking forward to the final days as a student care teacher though the students can kill me with their incessant talking and the giving of inane reasons to get their way. i hope i don't keel over before i get to join ICA. *insertsarcasticfacehere*

i know i'm going to miss my colleagues, they turned out to be fun and friendly. i guess i'm not that good at socializing with strangers anymore, maybe because of reasons in the past. i should try to improve my socializing skills again aye, lest i be called a stuck up snob. hehs

Raya Open house - Sept 26

there are only a few pictures here, the rest are on facebook, my sister's account. i think i'm slowly losing interest in facebook. all i do is just scroll down and scroll back up then i'll log out. i'd be doing that repeatedly over a period of time before i go to sleep.

well anyways here are the pictures. they are unedited 'cos i'm lazy to go and edit them.

dear cousin Mischa and me

she actually adores Boboi but will run away if Boboi comes any closer than that. i think she got a PPO from Boboi. haha.

last but not least. my nephew, Mr Haziq Naufal. if you see him in real life, you'd want to bring him home and eat him up, figuratively speaking of course, because he is the most chubbiest toddler i have ever seen in my life. *makesbabycooingsounds*
