My world is saved!

Hey, my efficient sister had actually bought Daxing back and install all the programs when I was still at East Coast. Well..that can be explained as she's the total free loader as she can just use the comp for FREE when I'm not around. How about that? Anyway, I'm totally excited about my new desktop, it's like upgrading from a 3-room flat to a condominium when everyone around you is living in a condo! Flat-panel LCD screen, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse.. gosh.. and there's more room for me to save some stuff without worrying about the comp crashing. How cool is that? Well, just realised that my blog layout looks quite ugly on an upgraded 17" screen as the graphic on top can hardly cover the blogger banner(which was designed to be covered in my blog). That's the only disadvantage of having a much bigger screen, but I better don't be too "hao lian" or my new comp will catch a virus in no time again..=P

Yeah.. I love my new comp! I also love my Dad who sponsored it!

Yo bloggie, this is my first office blog!! Hee hee..taking some time off on boring Saturday to come in for a blog, especially since my poor comp had died at home, so I can't come online for the next few days.. =(

Anyway, quite looking forward to this evening after work, going to East Coast later. But nah..I'm not going there to take a romantic walk down the beach, going for some club gathering at East Coast Seasports club. Doesn't sound like fun yah? Hahahaa.. Read Xien's blog and realised that she's hit by the virus just as badly as me. Poor girl.. guess its becos we are all using the same NEC laptop which is as old as my ah-mah. The good news is that Dad is sponsoring the cost of 'Da Xing' (in case you're not a avid reader of my blog, that's the name of my desktop-to-be) and I'm going to pay him back when I get my monthly pay. We'd figure it'll save more money than paying the instalments and the interest, not going to get lured by the hire purchase system! I'm dying without the luxury of going online at night although Mum's very happy about it, she said I'm finally sitting down with her to watch TV instead of staring at the comp the whole night. How fun is it to stare at the TV together, I wonder?

I had been super busy the past two days with the preparation of campcraft comp. I also wonder why I'm still doing it, don't ask me!! Was supposed to be damn tired but I just couldn't sleep at night, seemed to be hyperactive and only managed to get some sleep around 4am. Sheesh...haven't been sleeping well. I switched on the TV to watch 'Ah Xing' the poor Japanese girl on Channel U. It's a very, very, very, very old show which I'm quite sure I had been watching when I was only in Primary School, or even younger. But I can't seemed to remember the story.. Somehow they had managed to perserve the quality of the film quite well and kept me engrossed with her pathetic life. I mean, it wasn't meant to be sarcastic but she's really being abused fervently by her mother-in-law in the show. Shudder at the thought of having a mean mother-in-law in future, and my mum helpfully added that it was the reason why my parents moved out once they got married; she didn't want to jeopardise the good relationship with my late grandma. She said she told my grandma blatantly that they shouldn't live together, but I don't believe she ever did that.

Guess what? I even caught the re-run of the 10pm news after the show ended. The current issue is on the pathetic birth rate of Singapore. Yah, this time it's meant to sound sarcastic. =P I'm happy with all the incentives that the govt is coming up with, but think they should target to increase the paternity leave of the fathers too. The men should share the burden of changing nappies and everything.. If that's the case, I don't mind giving birth to more kids too. I mean, in future lah.. NOT now of course!

And guess what again? I woke up with a terrible flu this morning and it was already 9am (I'm supposed to be in office by 9am) Was really contemplating to take a MC but I figured it will be really troublesome for my fellow colleagues to stand-in for my classes.. how noble!! I hope I didn't catch bird flu by having MacNuggets last night. Although I was late, I still took time off to get bagel from Mac before I took the MRT to work. The bagel was nice, wanted to try it for a long time but I didn't wake up early enough for the breakfast time. I was really craving for it this morning and now it had settled down happily in my stomach. Was sneezing the whole morning.. terribe working day, but amazingly now that I had finished blogging, I feel so much more awake. Hahahhaa..back to my work now.

Yeah..the news is confirmed.

My comp is down..

My comp is down..

My comp is down down down!!! *awkward silence*

And the virus is passing around like nobody's business, plus the warnings from everyone not to open the stupid link. Why is everyone reminding me only after I've clicked on it. Why was I so stupid to go click on that joke link when I don't even appreciate jokes??!! I guessed I was in a state of ecstasy in the middle of the night (around 3am) when I got the link from a reliable friend, didn't even notice that it ended with a .biz extension and opened it. Thousands and one popups appeared, and my programmes started to shut down. Don't believe it? Go try it yourself. Anyway, I thought nothing of it as it often happened to my comp, virus or no virus. I went to sleep and only woke up in dismay the next morning when I tried to go online. Yah..but still thanks Aileen and Diah for giving me the secret formula to remove the trojan thingie, just that I've already sent Xiaoxing for an operation, trying to revive him.

Well.. it's really stupid. I was already lying in bed when I suddenly thought of a great idea where I want to spend my birthday next week. (Yeah, I'm reminding you!! My birthday is coming up..but pls do nothing about it!! ) I want to go Max Brennar the Chocolate Bar at Esplanade, the chocolate buffet where I've been wanting to try. So excitedly, I woke up in the middle of the night to send Hock Sui an email. So happy with my great idea..and my email.. I clicked on the 'Joke' link when I was done and just about to go to sleep. Yah, you must be thinking about either of these now:

1. This gal real dumb.
2. Chocolate bar? This is what you call a great idea??? I've been there since I was 3 years old!!!

Whatever..

Oh man..holy shit. One of the worst things that can happen in my life just happened. Xiaoxing is going bonkers again! Sigh.. it's old and senile. But I just can't live without the laptop, even though it's imbecile as it is now, not to mention that every month I'm paying my butt off for this semi-useless chunk.

It had been undergoing operation extensively for the past year or so, but still managed to keep itself alive. At least, it can show me this window where I can type and rant and vent my anger off; I think I'd better type my peace quickly before it shut down on me again. Arrghhhh.. Somehow, last night I clicked on a 'joke' link that a friend sent me over ICQ, and then all my programs keep shutting down now. Even after I restarted my comp thousands of time, it's still in a semi-conscious state. I wonder if this is the joke he meant.

Well, I'll have think about getting a new desktop at home, as this 3.5 years old laptop is as useless as it is.. And I'm going to monopolise the new desktop as I'm going to pay my butt off for it as well. Can you imagine a worse scenerio? I'm paying off the loans for a useless piece of metal and paying installments for another piece of metal that's going to be useless again in a few years.. and all these undergoing at the same time. It's no wonder the last week of every month before my payday I'm going hungry. Which is now.

Did I mention that I'm going to be a Chinese teacher? I've realised it's kind of weird.. have you even seen a Chinese teacher who curse and swear in Hokkien vulgarities. Well, I'll expect no, and I think that means that I can't curse no matter what, even if the 'suay-ess' thing in the world happen to me. Luckily for me.. I don't have the habit for cursing in vulgarities and I'll stare at people who does, especially if they're my friends, even though it doesn't offend me. Maybe that's precisely why I'm a Chinese teacher, mahahhahaha.. and I know I just cursed at the start of this blog. That's because I'm not a teacher yet till I sign the bond tmr.. muahahahhaa.. &^^%%*!! I better curse all my worth for the rest of my life today. I just had a thought, maybe I'll need to look left and right and make sure there's no students around before I jay walk next time. Holy shit!

Ahh..now I feel better. =) Will be back to inform you when I've gotten a new desktop..I'll call it 'Da xing'. But not so soon, as I'm still broke. Boo hoo..

Yep, in case you were wondering why I was dropping a blog at 5pm on a Sunday afternoon (referring to my previous blog).. I actually stayed at home for the whole boring o-Sunday. Yeah.. and if you scroll down my football-field long bloggie, you'll realised that I was never bored enough to come in and blog on a Sunday afternoon. Well, you can click on all my achives to prove me wrong as I was too lazy to do it. But that's not the point. Oh yeah..the point is I can't believe how time had passed so slowly the whole day. Finally now it's past 12am, and I'm back again. I didn't want to appear so extremely bored to come in and drop another blog on a Sunday evening. Again. Thus waited till now. Heheh.. to tell the truth, it wasn't that bad lah.. I woke up past noon anyway and realised that I'm home alone. That's a really good day for me to just slack and slack and slack. Spent the day quite peacefully and relatively happily, though my boy boy is not free to play with me today. Okay..that bring us to the next topic I want to talk about.

Yeah, ever since he joined SIA he had been busy, but recently it's becoming to be just another tough patch for him and he seemed super stressed that he can't spend more time with me, but actually I'm even more upset than him over it and that caused him to be even more upset because I'm upset. Confusing? Okay..whatever lah. Don't have to re-read the statement just to understand what I was talking about. The point is, it's not the best times of our lives now..and things just get quite upsetty sometimes. Oh yeah.. enough of our soapy sad love story. I've just wanted to blog about a nice movie we caught yesterday which made our date more cheery and happier than usual. It's Along Came Polly, once again we didn't intend to catch the show. And I had actually wanted to watch Love Actually. Wait..

You'll ask: This sounds familiar. Thought you mentioned in your December blogs that you've wanted to watch the show two times but failed?

Me: Yeah.. but it just happened that the RA version of the show came out recently. And since I've missed it the previous times, wanted to catch the movie this time.

You'll then ask: Then what happened?

Me: Oh..we went to Yishun 10 and realised that 'Love Actually' is only showing at Cineleisure. Sigh..not again!

Okay, that brings me to another point which I was just reminded of; when I mentioned to Hock Sui that I've wanted to watch "Love Actually". He asked me "Why the show? Haven't heard anything about it before." And I had been mentioning this show to him like thousands of times before. Yeah.. obviously you should take note of a movie-title if your gf really wants to watch it, right? I was hopping mad. But nmind, I shall endure and attribute all this to "over-stressed-SIA-future-pilot syndrome" instead of diagnosing it as a "inattentive-and-lousy-boyfriend" illness. But still. Anyway, I'm digressing again, opps.. was supposed to tell you about "Along Came Polly". I'm still wondering why Danping had caught "Irreversible" instead of this movie last week. Oh okay okay..shall not rub it in further. Lolx...=P

You should really watch it after a tiring day of work or after a super boring stressful week, or when you are going through a tough patch after a tiff with your gf/bf. Or you're just out on a group outing and couldn't decide on a movie, this will suit most people's tastes. It did work for us, as we happened to meet up after a long and tiring day of work and neither of us have the mood to tell crappy jokes or cheer each other up. So we just let Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller do the job for us. Hehe..I think the best part happened when the french naked guy in the show said "Life is like the hippo" (I totally agrees with him anyway). If you are wondering now .. "HUH?", or "Why Hippo?".. I shall not spoil the fun for you, go catch the movie yourself! Anyway, just a disclaimer here, it's just another romantic comedy with a super cliche plot in which the male lead managed to be with the female lead at the end of the show. So, no surprises. Don't blame me if you do not like crappy and meaningless shows. Just for laughs okay?

Hey..I'm back. And changed the blog fonts to 2 pt bigger as Aileen commented twice that she have to use a magnifying glass (sheesh, for a moment kept thinking that it's called a microscope..Lolx) to read my blog. I didn't realise that the font is only 8pt.. and I can't imagine, think it will be very funny if someone holds up a magnifying lens in front of a comp screen. I went back to my blog and agreed that it's really quite small (though stylish) and decided to make it 10pt instead. If anyone still think it's too small..erm..sorry, think you'd better check your eyes. Hahahah.. Anyway, I value the comments of all my avid readers a lot and thus will keep improving my blog to ensure that it's of the best service to mankind. =)

Yo.. I'm back..I'm back.. and 'Right here waiting" is also back by popular demand. =)

Today I met a real devil for the first time in the past 6 weeks of my teaching career in FC. Anyway, quite a few of my colleagues are on MC this week so I've gotta relief their classes for them, which I was glad to do so as time can pass faster this way. Was informed quite late that I've gotta take over two classes today, in fact it was just before I was leaving my house so I only managed to arrive for work in time and kept myself busy preparing for the lesson. One of the kids was 15 minutes early and he was playing innocently at a corner of the room. Or so I thought. Anyway, after the lesson started, this boy whose name was Andre (how in the world do you pronounce that? And that's not all, there's two boys by this same name in the class!) kept running to the back of the class to play with the toys there, oblivious to my teaching at the front of the class! He did all sorts of nonsense throughout the whole lesson, except for sticking his butt to his seat. And the best part came when he chased his friend around the room with the whiteboard duster.. I could do nothing except for trying to stop him and he tried to throw the duster at my face instead!!!!...It's a totally un-cool situation. Oh man, I almost committed the first homicide of my life.

It suddenly dawned on me that if I can encountered such a devil in a small class of 4, I would have 10 of them in a class of 40 next time.. *shudder**shudder* Sigh..

I'm counting down to just 4 more weeks before I move on to the next hell (a bigger school, bigger class, more kids, more devils..get it?), but it's really about time I move on. I think I'm bored by the job already and at least I've got something to look forward to. I'm not prepared to do a sloppy job just because I'm leaving but I can find absolutely no reason why I should be sitting around in the office wasting six hours of my precious Saturdays away when there's absolutely nothing else which I can do, except for chatting with the cleaner auntie. There's not even a soul to supervise and notice that I'm still alive there. I had been rotting dead for the past few weeks (giving out an odour by now) and I've tried my best to find something to do. Understand that they've arranged for me to work on Saturday mornings even when there's no classes as they had planned for programmes to be carried out. But whatever is the case, the programmes haven't arrive and I don't think I'll be involved anyway, since I'm leaving. Is it unethical if I play truant for work? Hahahhaa... Wish that I can go for campcraft comp this Sat, and only go for work after lunch.

Yo..managed to change my blog layout last Friday before I went to meet the girls. Yeah..I love it so much! It's not that the previous template is ugly, but it's just a refreshing change after a year or so of staring at the same thing.

I spent the whole night and day looking for a templete that doesn't have too many scroll bars and the html is easy enough for me to understand and edit. It gets irritating reading blogs that have to keep scrolling down after a few lines right? I prefer my blog to be as long as a football fied..simple yet a different kind of 'feeling' from the previous times. Ta-da!! I really think that I'm a genius! =) Hee hee.. dunno if all my avid fans have gotten used to the new 'look' or not. Hmm..think I'll be back to change the midi once in a while and the layout again when I'm sick of it. Yeah..

Yup.. think I've gotten out of the blog dry-spell but realise that there's not so much updates on others blogs for me to entertain myself. Sometimes I just click on strangers' blogs to take a look. The new link Xiaxue has a award winning blog (lots of blog fans too)..quite entertaining, although she's really bitchy and 'ah-lian'.

Oh yah..forgot to add that you can just press the 'Stop' button at the toolbar if you don't like Jay's song too much. Hee hee.. I'll be playing 'Right Here Waiting' on Valentine's day..that's the midi for my ringtone!

I've done it!! Jay had accepted my invitation to come and play his song at my blog..can you hear it? Hee hee.. my blog is undergoing a major change, keep a look out soon.

Sheesh..it's 4am now and I'm still playing around with the templete of my blog. =P Found a website blogskins.com and realised that it doesn't take a programming expert to produce a new skin for my blog, just like changing the skins of the winamp. But until now, still can't find a skin that I like, looking forsomething that is more reader-friendly. Sigh..wanted to put Jay's face all over but think all my friends will get a shock when they arrive here; all the Jay's skins look like they belong to blogs of lower secondary school kids . =P

Hey, I'm back again.. Wanted to sleep till really late this morning but couldn't jump back to bed again. Maybe after my breakfast, yeah.. Hahahhaa. Got a sickening routine today, 3 hours of work and then 3 more hours of tuition, but I'll bake brownies tonight!

Yesterday Hock Sui called and said that he got urgent matters which need him to be at home over the weekend, so probably can't make it back on Saturday. I took it quite well last night but don't know why suddenly this morning feel so gloomy about the whole thing. Sigh.. maybe it's the thoughts of spending Sat night alone at home and sleeping. Well, it's not as if I plan to spend Sat night sleeping somewhere else. But, life is really strange..last year it was so dramatic just when I wanted to spend the day peacefully. And I think Danping is right, it's sweet to get some roses even though its 2 times more expensive than usual. My colleague told me that she 'warned' her bf not to get roses for her on V-day but to send her roses on 3 other days instead, hahahhaa. Good idea. The guys must be really pressurised to get roses for their gfs, and if that's the only reason..then roses is a sucky idea. BUT it's still sweet to get roses no matter what. Hahahhaa.. I'm a old cliche typical impractical gf.

Oh yeah..it's a brand new day again. Didn't have much inspirations for blogging for the past two months until I went to other blogsites of some strangers and decided that I can do better than them!

Realised that I had been gaining weight recently, I haven't been exercising all this while but I can feel that I'm eating a lot lately. Just seems to feel hungry easily. Oh no, I don't want to go back to my JC plump state. Had been thinking of changing my image lately too, wishing that I can become one of those girls at Orchard with smooth complexion, tapering legs, small waistline and adopt the grace they carry themselves. Okay, I don't really want to be 'one of those girls' but just to become a better me.

I went to layer my hair to get rid of that old fashioned student look, but the change is not drastic enough to make heads turn. I vow to perm my hair into big waves next, hiak hiak.. Wanted to start my low carb diet and more workout routine. But rice happened to be my favourite food and I simply can't live without it, even during a buffet. I can't seemed to make myself go to the gym or the swimming pool on my off-day today, it's really that hard to move my butt once I got stucked at home you know? I've packed all my swim gear to go swimming after HQ today, but I stayed in HQ till 7 plus, too late to go to the pool. At least I've been taking the stairs for the past few days, climbing up 11 flights of stairs should be a good start. Okay, maybe I should just go swimming before work tmr. Hmm..

Hey, I'm back! I have been thinking about changing the layout of the blog but sheesh... I totally suck in programming although I'm a web fanatic, so I'm kinda of lazy to figure out all the tags to produce the look that I want. Hmm..wouldn't it be nice if the blog can produce Jay's music and songs when I arrive at the blog? *big grinz* I get so jealous when I see better, wonderful blogs of other cool individuals.

Okay, let's talk about my life. Oh yeah..there's a big great news that I had been wanting to tell you about, I'm FINALLY going to NIE! Hee hee..I'm so so so excited when I received the letter on a boring Saturday night a week ago and my whole family was feeling excited too. It a greatest dream coming true..even better than making it for 4 star! I immediately msg Hock Sui and my Mum to tell them the news. The first thing I wanted to do is to apply to stay in hall when I'm at NTU, that'll be so fun! I spent a few days convincing Mum and she finally agreed.. =) I promised not to burn the microwave this time round. Next, I even started dreaming of buying a new laptop, a car etc..hahahha..

Remembered what Aileen told me the other time, so didn't tell anyone when I went for the interview. Hmm..seems to be true, there's a higher chance if I keep the whole affair to myself. Mum was so happy that I got the interview that she informed my father, my sister and even told Hock Sui over the phone. Oh man, I was quite angry with her. I went for the interview and it's exactly a year since I went for the first one. It's a panel of four again (with different pple) and the same questions were asked, but this time now at least I didn't come back with a sucky feeling, though I've decided I wouldn't want to go back for the 3rd time. Just imagine, I would have given up all my dreams if I didn't make it again. Oh yeah. I've grown so used to surfing the job websites over the past few months that now it seemed so strange I don't have to do it anymore. I don't even need to update my resume, at least for the next few years. And I got a feeling that I'd stick to teaching.

Oh yeah, now that my dream of becoming a teacher had come true, my next greatest dream is to be a pilot's wife. Hahhahaa..
