sometimes i wish i have a car.. or better still, a chauffer to drive me around.. haha.
because public tpt really can drive me nuts!! yesterday night, i was at kovan waiting for that dearly loved and hated bus 112. i was dying to go to the toilet, but since it was past 10 the heartland mall was closed and locked up, and i went to the hawker centres, which were like sooooooooo far away, only to realise their toilets were locked as well. arghs! but i digress, so anyway, i bo bian have to go back to the bus stop to wait for 112. so i waited, and Waited and WAITED but the stupid bus just refused to come.. its like, arghhhhsss i wanted to burn down stupid SBS transit.
so finally after a glorious 20 or 25 mins of wasting my time and curses, the bus came, and of all days i had to take a bus with a driver who happily decides to let his vehicle crawl on the road..and wats even worse is the bus door had something wrong. u noe, usually when the bus door closes, some alarm will go like beeeeeeeep, then the doors slide close right.. my bus yesterday was like banging itself shut, i tink something wrong with the hinges or whatever. so it sort of goes beeeeeep *pause* BAM!!! which nearly drove me crazy and burst my eardrums cuz i was sitting quite near the door.. im surprised the stupid door didnt jus bang itself straight off the hinges.. and then the bus uncle seemed to have this perverse desire to scare ppl wif his bangy door.. like he will purposely wait until the passenger walks almost to the back door before pressing his shut- the- door button or whatever mechanism he uses.. so its actually quite hilarious to see the unsuspecting passenger walk to the door and get a shock of his life when the door slams shut hahah..
then sumore there happened to be this 2 guys sitting 2 seats behind me, blasting their super loud (though not as deafening as the bus door) and horrible techno music, and they were criticising chinese pop and jay!!!! arghs i was soooo peeved by them. like they think they are so cool lor, listen to that kind of trashy music.. then after tat they started gossiping on a few of their classmates, calling them idiots jus cuz ppl dont know how to write a good gp essay.. hmm i really donno which jc these 2 gits go to.. i really cant stand this kind of im-so-smart-im-too-cool-for-you ppl.. i think we should ship them all off to this new planet some 20 light years away frm Earth, where apparently conditions are super similar to our planet and may be able to support life..

i've started my tuitioning!! after like 2 lessons, im.. shagged. hahah..my two boys (pri 2 and pri 3) are quite cute, but sometimes they realli tend to drive me up the wall..i dunno wats inside their heads, but their brains can switch 10 topics before i even finish 2 sentences.

eg. Me Vs Keith ( the pri 2 boy)

Me: So, lets look at these problem sums, ok?
Keith: So easy, no need to do one
Me: But its your homework correct? u're supposed to hand in tmr!
Keith: ok. *sits down n holds pencil*
Me: ok, so Laila has 300 mangoes, and ---
Keith: wait i show you my pokemon book 2! got ho-ho one!
Me: ????
Keith: there, you can find Mew 2 inside here anot?
Me: oh i know, there mew 2 is ---
Keith: hah i show u magic u nv see before one! *runs out to get some weird calculator*
Me: Oi come back and do your problem sum!
Keith: i hate writing statements!! and i wan to learn spelling now, tmr got test!
Me: har?? u never say earlier.. how many to learn?
Keith: teacher say must learn 30
Me: *faints*.. ok.. firefighter, fire, F-I-R-E
Keith: teacher, why the Amca [America] go n bomb japan?
Me: orh, because last time, during world war 2..
keith: my house behind got ppl play soccer! the iskanda u know? he very powerful one! me and my kor kor also join the RC play soccer, im number 4, then like the tony jaa the kungfu very good, he go and save the elephants blah blah blah blah
me: erm, SO, Laila got 300 mangoes, and then John got 128 mangoes less....
keith: aye teacher why u wear skirt today? like my jie jie she always go buy alot of clothes then she confiscate my things
me: har, orh ok.. anyway, wait first we do homework first then talk later ok? so, Laila has 300 mangoes--
keith: teacher why u so long still haven finish one qn??? n my spelling and zao ju havent teach leh i want to sleep already..
me: T_T

the pri 3 boy is oso abt the same, except the conversation is in chinese, and he's a little little bit better in terms of 学习态度 hah. but he's kinda obsessed wif results.. like keep asking why i give him 16/20 for oral and not full marks (nobody ever gets full marks for oral anyway!) and changing his answers when i say its wrong... overall i tink they're quite cute la, can bond wif them , i tink after 3 mths i surely will 舍不得 them haha..
in the meantime, i have to keep resisting the urge to bang wall whenever i attempt to teach them something.. and try to survive on my miserable income =X

im boreddd.. so went to do a quiz haha.. oh btw i got into ntu business sch :)

next week, i will begin my new career as a..... pri sch tuition teacher. o.0
of all people, i gotta teach pri sch kids, when i dont even like kids. haha.. oh wells too bad, i dunno why the agency jus keeps giving me pri sch assignments?? i realli have no idea where to start besides printing out their syllabus and trying to see how in the world can i teach a child to count to 1000 in a creative way, to explain what an adverb/pronoun/past participle when i have ZERO idea what they are anyway. isnt english jus stringing together a bunch of words and if it sounds right its probably right, right??? tats how i learnt my english anyway.. and i have to figure out what is the 聲母 and 韻母 in the hanyu pinyin thingie.. arh it sounds harder than i expected.. i hope the parents dont come n breathe down my neck during the lessons.. n i really dont wanna screw up the poor little kid's results more than how screwed it already is, or else they wont be needing a tutor right. haha.. and i really really hope they wil at least LISTEN to me, cuz through experience, not many ppl do listen to me hahah..see how it goes ba, in any case i die die have to 撐 through 1 mth or i have to pay the agency. =x
oh, and i suddenly have the urge to declare, i am proud to be an ASIAN! cuz of the recent shootings in a certain sch in US, i've read some comments by caucasians insulting asians and all that racist stuff, generally blaming asians for that tragic incident. i dont know, but tat just got me thinking.. why are asians always deemed inferior to caucasians? ya, we may not have the technology and wealth of the west, but tat doesnt mean we're always the subservient ppl right. why do tourism brochures always portray asian ppl to be the soft spoken ones serving the caucasian tourists? we are way past the age of colonialism already! why do we always go eeee when we see "made in china" but not when it says like，"product of America" or something? sadly speaking, im also guilty of that, which really implies tat deep in our hearts, do asians themselves see the caucasians as superior? this is really sounding like a gp essay haah, but this east-west divide thingie is kinda bothering me.. not tat i dont sympathise with the victims in this shooting incident, just tat this is not the first incident, and i think it definitely wont be the last, considering the gun laws in the US. whats more, it doesnt matter who is holding the gun, but the intent of the person. tat person cld have been caucasian, asian, african or even a martian! calling ppl "crazy oriental freaks" is not only unreasonable; its nowhere different from Hitler's warped theory of his Aryan master race being superior to all other races.
in any case, i wont swap my life for a caucasian's, cuz i get to watch great shows like 仙劍奇俠傳 and 少年楊家將 haha.. and yup, i ONLY listen to chinese songs, so what? call me cheena lor, im glad to be one. =)

today i want to thank some ppl who have made my birthday a happie one :)
firstly my parents of course.. thanks for treating me to a sumptuous dinner and a nice fruit cake..and then i also wanna thank the muskies and kailuen for a wonderful day out at xinmin homecoming (so long nv go back le, quite happie to see some of my teachers and old friends, had a great time chatting wif them though the weather was like freaking hot.) and kbox till evening.. oh n thanks for the presents and letters ppl, im using the stuff now haha its quite good =)
also wanna thank my church cell grp ppl for the cake and necklace, and thanks for praying for me.. i realli do hope i will breeze through uni haha
and elaine, qiuyi, huiqing for gg out wif me tmr hahah
and of cuz all the ppl who sms-ed or msn-ed to wish me happie bday (kor kor, pris,pam, huiying, lou, bel, nianying, jingxuan, kiahow, alvin, yongkian,kitson, aud, bear bear,sherene,huisi, yingxian, yongjin etc)

last yr on my birthday he asked me to be his gf.. 3 mths later he's gone, and i thought my birthday will nv be a happie one again. but thanks to u guys, i was! =D
and i can say i really got over it le. haha.. yup so thanks to everyone!

《一千個世紀》五月天

当时地球还年轻

我们诞生荒凉大海里

演化到了寒武纪

我们长出脊椎和勇气

某天我们开始踩出脚印

学会双手拥抱学会爱情

长出人类的心

啊啊我要和你

一起走过一千个世纪

每次诞生我都要与你相遇

每次轮回都为你

当时你我都野性

我们学会用火和穴居

后来帝国正崛起

我们战乱之中更相依

某天我们突然回忆过去

我们只是两段平凡基因

却爱的很美丽

啊啊我要和你一起走过一千个世纪

下一个我也许是人或蚂蚁

每次诞生我都要与你相遇

每次轮回都是为你

啊啊我要和你一起活过一千个世纪

每次诞生都只有一个意义

就是和你在一起

在一起

直到文明又毁灭

一千世纪后的第一天

伊甸园里肩并肩

我们笑看太阳也熄灭

last nite went drinking wif a bunch of geogers to sort of "celebrate" Junyi's farewell into the hands of the SAF.. haha but i tink he'll fit in quite well there, being sporty and hokkien-spewing.. but im craving for La Viva's finger foods now!!! haha.. junk food attack again.. i need some unhealthy stuff!! anyway, hope our said trip to pulau redang (is is correct spelling?? =/ ) realli materialises! sounds veri fun haha.. but can NS men go on holidays?? if not we'll have to wait for junyi until he ord??? haha tats like eons later.... haixxx wish i got a pack of potato chips and some chocolate now...
oh by the way, my interview was bloodily terribly horrendous.. dont wanna talk abt it. haha.. but the probability of me getting into 2nd round is between 0 and a negative figure which is undefined. oh wells... cant help it.. i dont need to be a scholar to get into uni hmmph! at most do part time work lor~bleahs. ok gg to watch youtube..seems like everybody's blog is dead or malfunctioning la.. nth else to do except watch youtube haha

my 2nd uncle jus passed away yesterday..
it came as a rude shock to me when papa told me he was in coma on fri nite. like, he was still looking fine when we went china together! can eat, can walk can climb mountains..yet, less than half a month later his body collapsed and i was seeing him lying like a wax figurine in a coffin. haixx life is so fragile.. makes me wonder if all the things i worry abt are really tat impt.. back to the veri lame but fundamental question- if i were to die tmr, wat will i do? on one hand, these mundane things may seem so unimpt, but without them, wont life just be an empty shell? and then i think, if, just if we hadn't asked him to go on the china trip with us, how long more could he have lived? a few months? or a few more years?? its all this unanswered possibilities tat make it so frustrating.. i tink its really all these unlimited possibilities that result in regrets..
luckily 2nd aunt didnt seem to be as badly hit as i thought.. today at the wake i still saw her smiling and she looks quite ok, so at least tats a good thing..
on another note, tmr is my preliminary interview and tests day for my SIA scholarship interview and i havent done any preparation at all.. i know nth abt SIA!! arghs.. hopefully can just smoke through..
