Happy Teachers' Day!
Tomorrow is Teachers' Day! *blow balloons and whistles* Woohooo...
I have this sudden urge to blog an entry.. not as a tribute to all teachers out there. 'Tribute' is a big word. And i'm nt goin to preach abt "my favourite teacher" or "how kids nowadays shd respect teachers". ahha... tt wld be fun tou, isnt it?
Just some memories and tots to share w u.
I'm goin to be 20 this yr. I've spent more than half of my life in school. Met lots of teachers. Interacted with some. Taught by some. Punished by a few onli (haha..yea. i'm a gd kid ok). Praised by some. And wat hve u?
Surely, there's a stirring in ya heart whenever it's Teachers' Day.
This feeling gets stronger when i get into uni.
See the irony? Now u no longer celebrates Teachers' Day in sch, u dun see the same teacher for the entire yr (instead u see them for a semester or fortnitely for tutorials).
(Sometimes I'm jus convince tt being an adult can be soo boring. U rlly miss out alot of fun.. lke celebrating teachers' day.. national day... etc)
Yet, this is the time u begin to find those memories of ya pri sch n sec sch teachers... sweet.
My fondest memories w teachers who r closer to my heart..
were those who taught me in pri n sec schs.
I must say.. I hve teachers who treat me rlly well. Esp nice sometimes. haha
But I'm nt those who deliberately wana get into the good books of teachers.
I truly respect them.
And when u sincerely respect somebody, he/she can feel it.
Teacher-student r/s is a knowlege itself.
Sometimes when you are closer to your teacher, you tend to go over the line.
Be it over display of affection or treating ya teacher lke ya buddy.
Yea, seekin a balance point in teacher-student r/s is impt.
Its a skill. (speakin fr my own experience :) )
When you know tt some teachers especially dote on you, appreciate it.
Dun go ard yaking abt it. Dun feel tt u r superior jus becos of tt.
Just simply acknowledge it and pay extra attn in class.
Tts the onli way u can repay them.
Great teachers wont abandon u because u din do well in ya studies at times when u rlly tried ya best.
Great teachers give u a good hug when they know u need it.
I'm so blessed tt I've found them.
They hve touched my heart.
Some tiny bits of memories tt i still rmb...
I had the whole class celebrating my birthday w me at sch canteen when i was pri 4. (My form teacher had kindly brought the whole class down to canteen for one whole period. Esp to celebrate my birthday..) Thank you so much.
Ms khor (my pri sch principal) rmbed me even aft she was transferred to another pri sch. She invited me to perform (sing) for an event in her new school when i was in sec 1 or 2. I was so moved and felt so proud to be able to perform for her. It is rlly my pleasure! Hope she is doin well..
Ms Lui gave me a little gift and card for my birthday when I was in sec 4. Thanx alot! Its rlly sweet of her to rmb my bday.
Esp to those teachers who hve taught me...
HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!!!

Its onli the 2nd wk of sch.. and my head is spinning. Yes, I'm feelin the stress man! And guess wat? tutorials haven even started! Nus libraries are packed everyday... enthu Nus students zapping notes as if nxt wk is the exam wk. Watever. The mods i am taking this sem are much more demanding than e previous sems. At least, tts what those lecturers hve managed to convince me with. *smile sweetly to lecturers*
Ok, shall stop bubbling abt sch work. I jus have to study harder. Tts all. The rest is.. up to fate. I dun wana be a teacher's pet. I wana be... God's pet.
I think i have a special skill. I can sort of know wat kinda person u r aft a short period of time. Ok, many ppl can do tt i know. But my 'Short'.. can mean jus a few mins. I can deduce whether.. u r nice? confident? selfish? competent? jus a bimbo? sincere? and the list goes on n on. I love to observe ppl... especially during a simple conversation. Little remarks and gestures here n there actually tells ppl alot abt u. Well, of cos, i do come out w wrong conclusions at times. haha.. but being observant rlly helps u to differentiate nice ppl fr nasty ones. I try to avoid makin frens w ppl i dun lke. But, its unavoidable to meet ppl u dun rlly lke and worse still.. hve to work w them or spend long hours w them.. esp in ya working life. U've jus got to deal w it. Life is abt learning hw to cope and balance it up. Pls, dun get me wrong. 'Dealing w it' does not necessarily means being fully tolerant of these ppl's nonsense. If there is a need to let them know hw terribly sorry they r as human beings, u hve to do it. At least, let them noe tt.. u r nice, but u r not to be messed with. Dun kill them. Its wiser to let God deal w them.
I'm still learning hw to do it.
Well, sometimes, we shd give ppl another chance. Dun jump to conclusions n try to be fair.
But, sometimes, i jus know tt.. there is rlly a reason as to why some ppl exist in this world.
To make u realise hw perfect u r :)
*smile sweetly again*

Random Tots...
Things evolve and change with time. It occurs in r/s too.
What one looks for in a r/s is nt necessary a constant.
Everything can be a variant.
Scarry as it seems, but tts part of living.
So dun keep thinking tt it is easy for 2 person to be tgt.. for a lifetime.
Dun.. take things for granted in e world today.
Easy to fall in love. Not easy to keep the love going.
Easy to say "i love u forever". Not easy to keep the marriage going.
Simple, yet complex.
Romance is a changing entity.
It has evolved into sth marketable, it is abt 'fast & furious';
'Slow n steady' has to take the back seat.
Timing seems to be the key to 'happiness'.
You've got to know tt person long enough and well enough to tie the knot.
Yet, you hve limited shelf life to grab hold dearly to ya 'happiness'.
Especially true for women. Aft a certain age, ppl assume tt you wont ever get married.
What's tt supposed to mean?
Oh.. happiness can be found before you reach a certain age?
And then, concerned dad n mum wonder what they shd do to u.
Some came out w ridiculous conclusions lke,
"oh, shdnt hve sent her to a gals' sch in e first place"
Oh wow..
bravo.
full-stop.
Under exam condition, solving eqn is abt finding the fastest route.
But life is not abt this.
Different routes be it shorter or longer ones ,are perfectly fine.
As long as... you found the route ultimately.

In the mood for... NOTHING!
Just plucked out my wisdom tooth on the first day of sch.
Damn.. feeling v irritated and lethargic. I mean.. havin to attend lecs.. travelling to schs etc. Gosh, the travelling time (to n fro) is longer than my lec timeslots. Anw, I was given 5 days MC (but i'm such a gd gal, I still go to sch). For those who wana pluck out their damn wisdom tooth, choose an auspicious date to do ya surgery.
I cant eat hot soupy stuffs according to the dentist and I hve been encouraged to eat cold stuffs.. lke ice cream. I bought a tub of peppermint ice cream, yet I felt lke puking aft takin a few mouthfuls. Wierd... usu i could finish the whole tub w/0 feeling sick of it. Yeah.. I''m havin serious probs. haha..
No mood to study. No mood to eat. No mood to eat ice cream.
I cant tok properly, smile widely, laugh hysterically and sing happily.
Its such a torture.
So, be nice to me. Dun sing or laugh too loudly in front of me.
I'm .. bo geh :(

Reminiscing those days in TH...
Today, I woke up v early to go for Nus Rag Day. 1 yr ago, I was wearing e Temasek Hall (TH) orientation t-shirt wandering ard the SRC while many beautiful floats n lively performance were showcased. It was a memorable experience. Cheering under the hot sun for our hall was fun, but it was v v tiring too. Cos our hall orientation lasted for 2 wks. Yup.. haha.. v enthu huh. Thou it was tiring, i guessed it kinda served as a v impt bonding activity for halls.
This morning, I went back to watch Rag. I wanted to relive tt exciting moment.. wanted to feel the robust energy fr the cheering crowds. I need to shout. I want to scream n feel damn proud of the hard work tt these nus participants have put in. Those impressive floats and good dance choreographies definitely meant more than merely entertaining the crowds. Its the sense of pride tt every participant feels in his heart tt matters.
Me n franchipani managed to squeeze our way thru the huge crowds. We finally landed in the.. erm... science fac cheering crowd section (note: both of us r nt in sci fac). Sci fac supporters were in their orientation tee.. in blue t-shirt. I was in er.. white. Franchipani was in black. Haha.. ya.. we stand out in the crowd. We were jus beside the VIP area. The view was fantastic. We managed to catch many performances. I was screaming v loudly.. cheering v loudly! I did the Sci fac cheers. Din know most of them.. but i picked up those cheers v fast. So, aft following closely those cheers a few times, I was totally blended into the SCIENCE FACULTY FAMILY!!! Screamin my lungs out for Sci fac.. doin actions and grinning fr ear to ear w those sci fac ppl. They din know tt.. i was fr.. erm.. ARTS FAC. ahahahhaa..I mean.. I love to cheer. Haha.. it was fun!!!!! We shd all be supportive n friendly, isnt it? ( I think franchipani cldn't stand me.. she burst out laughin a few times as i screamed my lungs out doing those cheers. kekeke..)
And now, these r some pics taken during orientation days in TH...
Hope these guys r doing fine :)
xxx xxx xxx
Oh, did i mention tt i jus cut my hair. Real short tt is.
This is hw my hair looked aft bathing.
MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHA...

The Tribulations of the Triangle...
Once upon a time.. there was a wise lady.
The wise lady went up the sacred mountain to learn a lifelong skill.
It wasnt easy...
Thunders roared at her... the cold wind howled lke hungry wolves.
But.. she still managed to pass her driving test.
It spells the beginnin of an adventurous journey...
There after, the wise lady has to bring along the Triangle w her whenever she drives.
Perhaps this is the way they welcome new drivers on the road.
So tt new drivers are easily spotted.
Aren't they sweeet?
However, life is nt as simple as it seems. There's a nasty twist to it.
Some senior road users love to cut into the wise lady's lane.. w/0 putting signals.
possible rationale behind: "aiyah.. jus passed ones.. v slow la.. no need to give warning."
Some senior road users love to horn at new drivers for not moving when the traffic light turns green for 0.3 secs.
possible rationale behind: "er.. no special reason..jus feeling kinda ego today"
or "hmm.. i lke to see ppl panick."
Some senior road users dun lke to give way to new drivers even when they hve signalled.
possible rationale behind: "I DISPISE U!!!!!!!!"
And the list goes on and on..
No matter hw gd ya skill is, some ppl jus dun give u an opportunity.
The triangle is nt for the faint hearted.
The world.. no.. i mean the road.. sometimes lacks of warmth.
The wise lady wld like to say thank you to all egoistic drivers (those who did the above mentioned stuffs). Wait till ya sons or daughters get their Triangles. *smile v sweetly*
Dun panick, the wise lady wont do anything to ya darling sons or daughters. She leaves it to fate.
Evil begets evil.
Of cos.. nt all drivers bully those w the Triangles.
There r still many patient and thoughtful drivers out there.
U r deeply appreciated.
The wise lady hereby presents u..
the Greatest Honour:
THE FRIENDS OF LOVELY..
COURTESY LION!!!!
