As I was whining about going for training on Friday (haha what's new?), my beloved and most esteemed Der said to me, "Why don't you do something that you like??" That was a tough question to answer, because as you know there are times when you love something very much but still have no desire for it. Such as training. I was whining because I was so tired from lack of good proper rest (MSN is a curse sometimes, I tell ya) and that I was out like a light for a good forty-five minutes that same afternoon.
I do not remember my witty reply to her, but I'm sure it was witty anyway. She responded, "BABE," she said forcefully, "You need to do something that you WANT to do, not something just to fill up your time." Then she reiterated something about happiness and satisfaction in life.
Sometimes I think Der has really good insights about me. I'm just passing time, for...? I don't know what for, but I know that I need my time filled up so that I don't have spare/free time to do/think/act nonsensically. Does that even make sense?
Anyway.
Item of interest: can of potato chips I bought a while back. Der asked if she could have some, and being my usual selfish self, I replied, "Not in a million years." She took it anyway (annoying!) and peered at the label. "What is this? Extreme Cheddar." She paused as she took a bite, then glanced over at me. "I bet you bought it cos it looks different, right?!"
Guilty as charged.
Facebook is a great stalking platform. Just have to repeat what millions of other more astute users have concluded already.
And what's a blog post without a youtube video??
I'm checking in to rehab cos everything that we had didn't mean a thing to you.

lots of youtube videos - go crazy!
Some songs that I won't be able listen to again for a very long time:
1.
There's a cover by the Pussycat Dolls. Do you call it a cover version? Or is it just another version of the song? Anyway.
2.
FloRiDa is such a punk name k. I always thought it was Flow Rider. The lyrics are damn funky though. I don't really think it's the 'offical lyrics' as it claims.
3.
I think Der knows this song quite well now, considering how I kept looping it. Hehe.
And these two songs keep looping in my head. Am trying to pick out Therapy on the piano now. Haha. Obviously I'll get bored with it after a while.
Arrogant boy, love yourself so no one has to;
They're better off without you.
Arrogant boy, cause a scene like you're supposed to;
They'll fall asleep without you.
You're lucky if your memory remains.
Honestly, I have yet to sit down and watch the mtv for this song:
I can live without you, but without you I'll be miserable at best.
And that's all, folks.

taylor swift - breathe
To quote Taylor Swift at the start of the following video, this is a "sad break-up song".
I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cos none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people and sometimes we change our minds,
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.
Music starts playing like the end of a sad movie.
It's the kind of ending you don't really want to see,
Cos it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down,
And I don't know what to be without you around.
And we know it's never simple, never easy,
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know,
Like the back of my hand.
And I can't breathe without you,
But I have to
Breathe without you,
But I have to.
Never wanted this, never wanted to see you hurt.
Every bump in the road I tried to swerve.
But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out.
Nothing we say is going to save us from the fallout.
It's 2am, feeling like I just lost a friend,
Hope you know it's not easy,
Not easy for me.
It's 2am, feeling like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know this ain't easy,
Easy for me.
And we know it's never simple, never easy,
Never a clean break, no one here to save me...
Hmm how do you forget an entire country because of one person? How do you stop yourself from reacting whenever someone mentions a particular singer?

when it all falls apart
And because I'm such a crazed Sims fan...
And here ya go:
I'm having the day from hell,
It was all going so well before you came.
And you told me you needed space
With a kiss on the side my face (not again!)
Not to mention the tears I shed,
I should have kicked your ass instead.
I need intervention,
Attention to stop temptation to scream.
Cos baby,
Everything is f'ed up straight from the heart.
Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up; where do I start?
Cos I can't turn to you when it all falls apart,
No.
Don't know where I parked my car,
Don't know who my real friends are anymore.
I put my faith in you:
What a stupid thing to do! (When it rains, it pours)
And not to mention I drank too much.
I'm feeling hung over and out of touch.
I need intervention,
Attention to stop temptation to scream.
Cos baby,
Everything is f'ed up straight from the heart.
Tell me what do you do, when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up; where do I start?
Cos I can't turn to you when it all falls apart,
Can it be easier?
Can I just change my life?
Cos it just seems to go bad every time.
Will I be mending?
Another one ending once again...
Would be quite funny to sing in Simlish. Then no one knows what the heck you're singing and no one will heckle you for singing such a wretched song.

hands
“‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful love song of the past fifty years can be traced back to ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding. Trust me. I’ve thought a lot about this.”
-Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
My thumb, under your thumb.
Der is going to declare my blog a dead zone again! But there's no time to blog when all the time is taken up by students needing help, by work that needs to be done, by friends who need waterbottles to be filled up with delicious chocolate.
Week 5! And the JC1 kids will finally be starting school tmr. I miss the feeling of being a JC student. Best years of my life!
And now it's back to work and exhaustion.

workaholic.
KL was a good trip, a much needed break from work. Though, honestly speaking, work kept sneaking into my mind. In fact, by the time we were on our way back, work was already banging at doors in my head.
Hi, I am a workaholic. Nice to meet you!
I've learnt that once I completely relax myself, I'll end up falling sick. Case in point: had slight cold/flu thingie on the second day of the trip. =\ Went out with my beloved Wensy last night and this morning I couldn't even pull myself out of bed cos my throat hurt so badly and the room was spinning. How to drive when I can't even sit up in bed? So I ended up sleeping until 5.30pm.
All work and no play keeps me healthy.
I'm not sure how this will work out in the near future, considering how I'm going to hit a quarter of a century old next year. Bah! I still have many things I want to do before I can even consider finding someone and settling down before I'm 30. E.g. I want to do my Masters in Education. I've been calculating and making plans, and it's with some regret that I've decided to postpone my masters by a couple of years. I don't even know if I'm capable of it! But one can always hope.
Here are a couple of pictures I took on the trip:
Reliving our childhood days.
A shoe that I nearly bought. They didn't have my size. But oh, so pretty!
Nando's was one of the highlights of the trip, because it's something that Singapore doesn't have.
And it's gonna be back to the grind in exactly 2 weeks.
Pretty song that I found because I read part of the lyrics that someone posted:
Guster - Either Way
You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you
You have learned in time that you must be cruel
I'll have to wait to get the best of you
Another nice song that I heard while blog-hopping:
Strangely though, my version of this song goes, "Four years later..." as opposed to this version's "Eight years later..." *shrugs*
Anyway, it's time for me to go to bed, again, even though I just crawled out of it seven hours ago.

ARGHHH!!!!
Sometimes things just conspire to make you so irritated. I had this premonition that I was going to have to a lousy Sept, and so far I'm right!
Actually it started just slightly before Sept, but as you know, Teachers' Day usually falls in the middle of the one-week break, so we'll usually celebrate it last day of the school term. Not A Good Day for reasons that cannot be mentioned. Let's just say it was an accumulation of many things that resulted in a lousy day. By the time I was alone enough to let it sink it, it was too late. You know how there are some things that has to be sorted out, or else you just become numb to it?
Then something happened during the one-week break which left me quite devastated. Not A Good Week for reasons that cannot be mentioned also. (Are you getting a sense of how this entry's gonna turn out?)
AND THEN the coup de grace happened last Friday. I went to the canteen with Der, took my purse with my phone, and as I slid open my phone... Nothing happened. So I thought, oh dear, battery flat. I didn't bring along my charger, so went around looking for one. Had to go for invigilation, so only starting charging my phone a whole hour and a half later. THEN I had to go around finding an available socket as the bloody socket at my table is irritating low and the charger couldn't fit into the space. So anyway, switched on phone, and first thing I do, always, is to look at my messages.
THEY.
WERE.
ALL.
GONE.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had quite a fit and I was hoping against hope my messages will return. BUT NO!!!!! And you know what, this isn't the first time my phone pulled this trick. It DOESN'T hang. The first and only time it hung, it was about two weeks old, and the same stupid problem occurred. ARGH ARGH ARGH!!! In the end I was so frustrated that I went to sit at Crystal's table together with the Malay & Der and had lovely durian mooncake until 5plus.
AND THEN at the end of the day when I was doing up a worksheet and saving my work, I closed some extraneous MS Word windows. A message popped out, "Do you want to save the changes in Document(1)?" Thinking that it was a file I opened to copy something from, I clicked, "No." And then I looked for my worksheet. AND THEN I REALISED I CLOSED A WINDOW CONTAINING FIFTEEN MINUTES WORTH OF WORK. ARGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
My colleague next to me looked over and said, "It's not your day. Go home."
So I did.
Went to Nokia Care on Sunday, and they said it's a software problem. So they recommended upgrading it, which resulted in my phone being reverted to factory settngs. SIGH! And I still doesn't know if it solves the prob of my messages being completely wiped out cos of a hanging of a phone. I lost ALL my drafts on my Melbourne trip, which is why I don't really feel like blogging about it anymore, cos I CANNOT REMEMBER.
So anyway, September's not shaping up well at all. Plus something sparked me off again today, and that's why I'm ranting away. I keep telling myself, think positive! But a bit hard ah, esp when it seems like the fingers of fate are being wiggled in your face and going HAHA at you. Sigh.
Okay although there's one good thing that I can see from my mishaps of the last couple of months. Remember my accident in March? (Well, now you do.) AIG refused to reinsure me about two months ago, so my mother had no choice but to go source for another insurance company who would be willing to insure my car. Seems like AIG is in trouble now. Actually the whole world's in trouble, so tighten those wallets and chin up.
Apologize - Just for you, Der. I know it's your favourite song. Now it's one of my favourites, too!
Cover of Gregory & the Hawk - Boats and Birds
Something about this song just gets to me.
you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your star dust to remember you by

Melbourne Day 1
Yes, the long awaited entry.
01: 6.30am (Melbourne time) at the airport, waiting for the rest of the tour group to clear customs.
02: Something familiar.
003: My favourite food! I had Subway there, just one evening, at the outlet near my hotel. However, the guy who was serving us had a poor attitude. Maybe he wanted to go home and relax on his couch, but that didn't meant he could wrap my sandwich badly.
04: First stop on our city tour of Melbourne - St. Patrick's church. It was closed cos that day was the Queen's Birthday, which was a holiday. Too bad, I'd have liked to go in and see the interior. Heard there's pretty stained glass.
05: Closer look at the front of the church.
06: Another view of the church.
Okay, so we just took lots of pictures, breathed in the cold air, and then bundled up the bus to our next destination.
07: Fitzroy Garden. I was wondering why there were descriptions in Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Not that I saw a lot of Chinese, Korean and Japanese people around Melbourne.
08: I wouldn't mind going to this park every morning for a stroll.
09: James Cook's cottage in the background.
10: And then I saw this. !!!
11: I can't resist. MUST take picture with pretty tree.
12: Leaves changing colour.
13: Another view of James Cook's cottage. Wasn't open as well.
14: My sharp eyes spotted these banners! I wish the musical would come to Singapore. )= I am a Great Fan
Didn't get down the bus after Fitzroy Garden. Was so tired, cos I didn't sleep much on the plane. I tried to sleep at 12, but it was too cramped, and I had interrupted sleep, so I got up at 2am, which also happened to be breakfast time. Hence, I just couldn't stay up anymore.
15: Passed by the Yarra River. Yes, it was rainy. It was raining on another night when I went to the Crown Casino, so I didn't get a chance to walk along it this time.
16: I thought this was a pretty strange ad. I asked a friend who lives in Melbourne about it, and I was told this was an advert for the late night trams or something. Cos after a certain hour, all trams stop running, and if you're stranded in the outskirts, there's no way you're gonna get home, cos the cabs don't travel that far out.
17: Saw this sign when walking back from the restaurant we ate at (Shark's Fin Inn - and no, we didn't eat any shark's fin. I guess it's just the name of the place). And to think that we complain parking in Singapore is expensive!
One other thing about parking in Melbourne is this: There are plenty of signs telling you that you can't park at a certain spot. However, every sign tells you that under certain exceptions, you may park there. For example, the sign will say, "No parking from 10am to 7pm | Buses parking for less than 2 hours excepted". My friend said that it makes parking in the city area very hard, cos you never know when you can park, and when you can get a ticket.
To be continued...
Someone was asking me how to pronounce a certain word, and when I was told how the majority pronounced it, I thought, It really makes no difference. Then I thought of the song, "You say to-mah-to, I say to-meh-to..." So I went to trawl Youtube and found this:
I kinda like old American movies. I started liking them after taking a film module back in NUS. Ahh, the good old days...

yet another one from a musical
Came across this when I was going through my usual LiveJournal stuff. Actually it was the lyrics I came across first. So anyway, I was also taking some time to pick photos to put into my FaceBook, and I came across some old photos. I wondered for a while whether to put it up, but then I thought, Nah, no need to tell the whole world. So I wouldn't.
It started out like a song.
We started quiet and slow,
With no surprise,
And then one morning
I woke to realize
We had a good thing going.
It's not that nothing went wrong,
Some angry moments, of course,
But just a few,
And only moments, no more,
Because we knew
We had this good thing going.
And if I wanted too much,
Was that such a mistake at the time?
You never wanted enough,
All right, tough, I don't make that a crime.
And while it's going along,
You take for granted some love,
Will wear away.
We took for granted a lot,
And still I say
It could have kept on growing,
Instead of just kept on.
We had a good thing going, going, gone.
-"Good Thing Going" from Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along
Also!!! My plans have been finalised, and I am proud to say that travel-phobic me will be going to Melbourne during the third week of the school holidays for a short trip to recharge and refresh myself. Do you know, I have to go back to school tmr, but I don't remember what time? Anyway, I have to meet parents in the afternoon, so I guess that's how I'll be spending my Tuesday: in school for lessons and meeting parents.
Don't you just love my life?

sad song
Because my car was unfortunately sitting in the workshop awaiting repairs from my latest careless act of driving, I was listening to a Chinese radio station late yesterday. Then this song played on the radio, and I found it to be really sad.
至少走得比你早 by 卢巧音
你没有想过我会说分手
也许太习惯我在你左右
虽然离开你有很多理由
可看见你这样惊讶
也足够
我想得比你多
陪你一起更寂寞
我性格比你强
怎能做你的绵羊
我年纪比你小
不信快乐找不到
抬起头开了口
最后我比你骄傲
从此不坐你的牢
想不到你的好
记得和你的争吵
想到老可到老
可是和你做不到
如果你爱得比我少
至少我走得比你早
你没有想过我会说分手
除非以为我什么都忍受
就算你这时候努力挽留
不过是你不能接受
我先走
幸好我走得还早
啦~~~啦~~~啦~~~
轰轰烈烈的开口
最后我比你骄傲
从此不坐你的牢
想不到你的好
记得和你的争吵
想到老可到老
可是和你做不到
如果你爱得比我少
至少我走得比你早
And I've also been listening to the Cantonese/Chinese duet, cos the lyrics are a little bit different (even though I don't understand a word of Cantonese).
至少走得比你早 by 卢巧音
你没有想过我会说分手
也许太习惯我在你左右
虽然离开你有很多理由
可看见你这样惊讶
也足够
我想得比你多
陪你一起更寂寞
我性格比你强
怎能做你的绵羊
我年纪比你小
不信快乐找不到
抬起头开了口
最后我比你骄傲
从此不坐你的牢
想不到你的好
记得和你的争吵
想到老可到老
可是和你做不到
如果你爱得比我少
至少我走得比你早
你没有想过我会说分手
除非以为我什么都忍受
就算你这时候努力挽留
不过是你不能接受
我先走
幸好我走得还早
啦~~~啦~~~啦~~~
轰轰烈烈的开口
最后我比你骄傲
从此不坐你的牢
想不到你的好
记得和你的争吵
想到老可到老
可是和你做不到
如果你爱得比我少
至少我走得比你早

funny things
I swear, the things that my kids say are the funniest things ever. Like today, one of my kids came into the class, came right up to me, and said in Chinese, "Ms T**, I am very scared." ??? So I asked him quizzically, "Why are you scared?" He replied, "I scared the JI guy come and bomb me." Haha! I think it's quite adorable. And he's in Sec 3! Then one of his classmates overhead him, and said proudly, "I got that guy's face as my handphone wallpaper! Then when I see him I can recognise him." Things like that just make your day. Underneath their jokes, you can see that they are doing their part to help their country, better than some who just delete the mms that the police sent.
Anyway, here's what was transported to my place the other day:
After more than a year, my piano is finally here! One of the reasons why the piano wasn't moved from my old place is because we thought we might eventually move off somewhere else. But my mother likes our current place so much, that we finally decided that we're going to be staying here indefinitely. So! My piano! I'm going to start learning up all the old pieces that I used to play. I love my piano!
I met up with Baobei and Darling last Saturday. The place is situated across from Plaza Singapura, and the waiters/waitresses are all dressed in some type of really casual wear. Think khaki berms and sandals. Anyway, the waiters were so-so eye-candy, though they didn't really come around. The food was okay, had something called Seafood Laksa Spaghetti, which wasn't too bad, but got pretty sweet towards the end. Had a drink which wasn't very nice, and the ginger ale came in cans rather than the bottles we were expecting.
Food: 3***
Ambience: 4****
So anyway, IT fair on Thursday, barring any last minute incidents. I want to get my headphones! Sigh, my 1.5 year old Creative ones have finally sounded their last. It was good while it lasted.
Before I go, here's a really interesting song. The video is kinda addictive too, you just keep watching to see what other strange movements the guy will do. Frankly speaking, I stopped watching about midway through. Haha!

work
This is quite sad. I work all week, and then I sleep all weekend. And despite all my talk about going for training... Well, it's just talk.
1/ I need to cut down on the amount of time I spend in school. But it's so hard when you know that there are a thousand and one things to do (and a thousand and one questions to mark), and that you don't really want to bring them home.
2/ I need to get my ass back into training. But it's hard when all I want to do is to sleep in on Sundays cos my Saturdays are often spent in school. Which is linked to the first point about cutting down amount of time I spend in school. But if I don't go to school on Saturdays, I'd feel like I'm not doing much work! It is a vicious cycle, I tell you.
3/ I need to get out more and meet people other than my colleagues. I mean, I love my friends at school, but I need to meet more people! I'd like to meet new people also. But the opportunity doesn't seem to arise that often. And I don't seem to even meet up with people from my school days.
4/ I need to stop procrastinating about training. I even missed the visit by my first sensei cos I'm too damn lazy. )= Actually, it's also due to other reasons, which shall remain privy to only myself.
5/ I need to move away from the past.I need to stop drowning in my work to escape from reality. The reality is that I no longer know what to do on endless Saturdays, so I try to occupy myself with school so that I don't need to think about how free I am and how there's no one I can possibly go out with at the drop of a hat. The reality is that I miss you and I don't know how I can ever stop missing you whenever something triggers my memory. When I walk by your old block sometimes, I remember you. Which is why I hate to walk about my neighbourhood because there are some places I don't particularly like to go without recalling you. I hardly go to the National Library, not only because of the ERP charges and the insanely expensive parking fees, but because we went there often. I don't like to go to Marina Square cos we spent so much time there. You see, you are on my mind, and I don't want you to be there. So I kill myself with work so that I can forget about you.
I keep hearing this on the radio! I heard it three to four times on Saturday.

i'm alive!
It's been a hectic few weeks since school started. And there's still four more weeks to go! Towards the end of the 5th, 6th week, I started feeling like I couldn't teach, couldn't make lessons interesting, couldn't get the facts across. It started from Chap 7, when I realised my kids were BORED. They looked bored, they sounded bored. I guess it's because half of them have tuition, and their tuition teachers have gone ahead already.
But anyway, I was tired, I wasn't finding any joy from my lessons, followed by a unexpected change in classes. I thought I was the only one who was feeling this way, until I shared with Der, and realised that she was feeling washed-out too. So she told me that we all need a good break, and that is why I relaxed for most of the CNY break. Only picked up work to do on Sunday, and I did work all day!
Okay, I just wanted to update so that you know that I'm alive, that's all. Haha. It's back to the grind, and I've to face two new classes of kids. Thankfully it's not the full class, just half of them. But it's still uncomfortable cos it's Feb and I still don't know most of their names. Nvm, I'll give myself till the third week of Feb to remember all their names.
Here's a song that I heard on the radio the other day. I heard another song, but I can't remember the lyrics now! Something about "when heaven and hell can compromise" or something like that. Anyway.
Cover of the song Always the Last to Know, originally sung by Del Amitri.
so you're in love with someone else
someone who burns within your soul
it looks like i'm the last to know

something to watch
I can never sleep early the night before the start of a new school week, or after a day's break away from school. Actually it's a recent thing. I just can't sleep early. I think it's work stress. Maybe. But really, it's sometimes a bit annoying, cos that means I don't get a good rest and hence I am not out in full force on Mondays. But I guess that's the price one's gotta pay.
Also, two parents called me over the past two days. I try very hard not to give out my hp number unless neccessary, or unless I feel a need to. However, I don't give my hp number to parents, because it just opens up a whole can of worms. "Hello? Can I ask you something about my daughter/son?" is a perfectly fine question. WHEN I AM IN THE OFFICE. It's almost like I'm working 24/7, when I get a call at 10.50pm. When I get a call on a public holiday. It's just very wrong. I don't get my rest. I don't get my time off. I keep thinking about work and end up not getting enough rest.
Anyhow, I was talking about not being able to sleep early the night before.
So I was thinking about Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which was made into a movie, and was recently released in Singapore. I was reading the book today, and there are some parts of the movie that I liked more, and some parts of the book I liked more. All in all, the book and movie complement each other perfectly. If you haven't watched Stardust, do go watch it!
Here's the 'official' song for the movie, which played at the end of show:
I can't wait for the DVD.

if only some things were that easy to wait for
Hello, hello! I just had Pizza Hut for dinner, but because I am SUCH A Bum on Sundays, me and my brother ordered in! =D I think I had too much sugar cos now I'm feeling super high! There are No Lessons tmr cos it's the start of Hell Week for students, otherwise known as You-Don't-Pass-You-Might-Get-Retained Exams, otherwise known officially as EOY Exams 2007. I am feeling HIGH because there's nothing like sugar and oily food and eating until you want to barf. For the record, I forgot to eat dinner yesterday and only slept at 3am because I was surfing YouTube for classical songs! So when I woke up bright and early at 12pm, I decided that I should just cook myself some instant mee to fill my stomach which wasn't hungry. Then I did loads of marking! Now I only have about one-third of Ex14.1+14.2+14.3 to finish marking.
You've heard of 'road rage', yes? Where you get so pissed off by other people's shitty driving that you get angry? Do you know that there's something called 'marking rage'? It is the condition where you get so pissed off by student's work that you want to tear it up and throw it back and them. But you cannot, cos it has to go into their files (which reminds me, I must get them to do their filing one day after exams), and so you write big angry words such as, "UNITS???? STATEMENTS, PLEASE."
I wanted to go queue for donuts to satisfy my insatiable appetite for oily food that will make me fat because I feel like bingeing (how to spell?), but MotoBabe went to bake cookies with her mother instead BAH! So this is why donuts was compensated by pizza so cheesy it's simply a sin. I am going to get so fat!!! Like I'm not fat enough. But training, training! Now that I don't have to do so much teaching anymore, I will go back to training!
(If you're feeling really bored, you can go count the number of exclamation marks in this entry! Including this one! And this one, too!)
It is such an indescrible feeling when you click click around the internet in your extreme boredom (or extreme kaypoh-ness, whichever you want to term it) and find something that you wish you didn't need to see. Let me put it in another way, it's something that you kinda knew already but you didn't really want to know for sure. Actually I don't know for sure yet, but it's really incriminating, and really (u) (oh, go type that on MSN) to see.
What to do when the holidays come??? I won't have the tedium of staying in school from 7am to 7pm to kill time. And then have exhausted sleep, and then rinse and repeat. How how how? It is So Boring to sit at home and do nothing, because there's no one around to say, "Eh let's go out." I used to have that, then I decided that I didn't want it anymore.
Actually, the whole point of this entry is just to kill time because I don't really want to go back to my marking and go into marking rage again. Actually, the other point of this entry is that after waiting for someone for months, and then finally realising people change faster than the weather, that there's really nothing to look foward to, or to wait for, at all. At the end, you only have yourself to depend on, and that's how I am going to live! What revelation!
I should go pick up something else to learn, because I have such an addictive nature I will just throw myself into it.
Aiyah I ran out of steam liao. I will blog about my birthday the next time. Got pictures, k! But not a lot, and I look fat in most, so even less pictures for show and tell. Haha!

scrubs
I've been watching lots of Scrubs lately. Yes, I know it's passe, but it's still funny, nonetheless.
I like Dr. Cox's rants. He just goes on and on without breathing, and it's really funny.
J.D. is endearing, so cute!
Elliot is neurotic. I saw her in later seasons, and when she's made up, she's actually really pretty.
I like how sarcastic Jordan is, esp during the scene when she rats out everyone's secret.
Anyhow, here's a quote from Season 1 of Scrubs:

Anyhow, here's a quote from Season 1 of Scrubs:
Relationships don't work the way they do on television and in the movies. Will they, won't they, and then they finally do and they are happy forever. Gimme a break. Nine out of ten of them end because they weren't right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones who get married get divorced anyway, and I'm telling you right now through all these stuff, I have not become a cynic. I haven't. Yes, I do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate-covered candies and, you know, in some cultures, a chicken. You can call me a sucker, I don't care. Because I do. Believe in it. Bottomline, the couples who are right for each other went through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is that they don't let it take them down. One of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship everytime if it's right and they're real lucky. One of them will say something.

and so it is...
...just like the way it should be. (Damien Rice)
So! I have an aching jaw now cos I stupidly stood next to someone swinging a shinai. Four years in Kendo and I still make stupid mistakes like that?! I ought to get hit!
Went out for lunch after grading, and I brought the Dumpling on a roundabout way just to find cheap (read: free) parking. Paiseh! Ended up being the last ones at TM's Ajisen.
Pic 411: People to my right side of the table, all full and happily chatting away. They ended up throwing wadded pieces of tissue at each other. -_-"
Pic 412: My Little Unwashed Body came back from China with pressies! Okay, so the drum thing isn't mine, but I think this picture looks cute. I forgot to take a picture of my bendy zebra, and I'm too lazy to take out my camera, etc. so no pictures of my pressie!
Pic 413: The Dumpling strangely enthralled by the drum. It goes 'tok tok tok', and according to my LUB, Dumpling loves things that repeat. Slight case of autism, maybe?? Just kiddng!!! d=
Pic 414: My bad LUB smirking at the Dumpling, who has just woken up from her trance.
Pic 415: See that look??? You just know she is up to no good!! And guess what she did next!
Pic 416: MUAHAHAHHAHA, then Enginger is disturbed!
Pic 417: This picture here is mainly for black-mailing purposes. Watch out, Lightning Thunder Wind! I have the blessings of your zha bor to beat you up if you do anything wrong to her!
Pic 418: My right knee. All that pain and nothing to show for! This was a result of kata 7. I don't feel like going to youtube and find a link right now. You are all technologically advanced people, go find it yourself!
And in case you haven't been entertained enough for the better part of the entry (shame on you!), here's a cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball. I like this singer; her new album is not bad, lots of really nice songs, unlike her last one, which was too jazzy for my taste. Just listen to the song, the video is just bunch of images someone put together painstakingly.
and it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball.

do you feel better now?
I'm sleepy now. Bleah. It is, as Ju said, lunchtime, and I haven't had lunch yet. Woke up so early this morning, the earliest I've been up in three weeks! I went to bed at 1am, woke up at 4am with a start, then went back to sleep until 6.30am. So now I'm sleepy.
Had breakfast with my mother, then I went off for a drive down the expressway. There's nothing like aimless driving to take your mind of unpleasant things. I drove all the way till the exit before Tuas Checkpoint, then looped back to Toh Guan Road via the PIE to get my car washed. I gave up washing the car myself; I'm simply too lazy!!! I would do another round of aimless driving, but there are things to be done, like the laundry amongst other things.
I have too much time, and too little activities to fill up my day. I'm a sadist, I want to go back to school. I want to be lost in the routine, mind-aching, back-breaking lesson planning and marking. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO, ANYTHING TO DO. Bah. I don't want to go out, that is leisure. I need WORK. I have to satisfy myself with things like tuition to keep my brain working. I read newspapers until my mind's numb.
Some URLs for your reading pleasure:
1/ No place in local universities. I particularly like the comment by crunchy_cucumbers, which basically sums up what I thought as I read the article. But actually the daughter quite poor thing larh, being born in the Dragon Year, always a downside to everything.
2/ A Theory on ABC's Lost. Got this off cowboy caleb's RSS feed thing (whatever it's called, I'm not familiar with the geek speak). Pretty well thought out! And satisfies my Lost craving. Cannot wait for Season 4!
3/ The Gender Genie. Do you blog? You might like to test whether you sound male or female based on your entries. Quite cool. Got it off huckerby's blog a long time back.
4/ Zanshin. I quite like this article, because it isn't really about Kendo zanshin, but zanshin in general.
Aaaaaand that's all for today, because I'm sleepy and I think I should go nap. Oh, and here's a song that I've been addicted to (read: playing non-stop) for the last few days. This is the 'original' version though, the version usually played on radios is the acoustic version, which is much more pleasant sounding. Though I'm sure if you listen to the following version a few times, it'll grow on you.

1/ No place in local universities. I particularly like the comment by crunchy_cucumbers, which basically sums up what I thought as I read the article. But actually the daughter quite poor thing larh, being born in the Dragon Year, always a downside to everything.
2/ A Theory on ABC's Lost. Got this off cowboy caleb's RSS feed thing (whatever it's called, I'm not familiar with the geek speak). Pretty well thought out! And satisfies my Lost craving. Cannot wait for Season 4!
3/ The Gender Genie. Do you blog? You might like to test whether you sound male or female based on your entries. Quite cool. Got it off huckerby's blog a long time back.
4/ Zanshin. I quite like this article, because it isn't really about Kendo zanshin, but zanshin in general.
Aaaaaand that's all for today, because I'm sleepy and I think I should go nap. Oh, and here's a song that I've been addicted to (read: playing non-stop) for the last few days. This is the 'original' version though, the version usually played on radios is the acoustic version, which is much more pleasant sounding. Though I'm sure if you listen to the following version a few times, it'll grow on you.

Better Than Me
Latest single from Hinder. Sounds almost exactly like their last one. Haha. But I like it. Take a listen, please.
Yay one more week to go. Let's hope the application gets through and I end up somewhere I want to be. Now gotta think about what to get my girls. And my bio CT. And other people.

Not Ready To Make Nice
My friend introduced this song on her blog, and I got hooked. I can play this song on repeat for hours. Just a weird quirk of mine.
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget? I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything but I'm still waiting.
