life's simple pleasures

School has started for me. And tmr will be my day 2 in school for lesson. First day of school was fine, except the fact that it rained heavily early in the morning and sustained till even after we were released from class. Apparently, the rain rained like forever. Good enough, its not raining today so... today is a sunny happy day without anything on! I had POA on the first day, and I liked the lecturer, she'd made her lesson seem fun and insightful. To learn this subject not because its a pre-requisite in academics but as a knowledge of use in the future. This moral of the story that I got was the trigger point to many who have realised that a seeking mind is what important. Anyway, tmr's Managerial Econs lets hope it will be good :)

This week was fulfilling, glad, little sad and uhm, revitalize feeling for me. Because, Ive only just started school so I felt revitalize. Just like how my cells and brains will be influenced by books, knowledge again. Glad and sad because many guitar assignments are coming to a halt. And lesser income into my pocket. At this phase, Im going to learn to once again juggle with new things on hand that is, my school work, tuition and meetings and chingay. Ive said this a lot of times hahahha pardon me for being so... repetitive.

A few great achievements lately, oh well at least to me it really seemed to be great, students improved by 1 grade in Science. And, one math student scoring full marks! Sometimes, in the midst of teaching all these students I wonder what is their mindset in having a tuition. Their parents too, why do they want their kids to go for tuition. One simple answer, to improve. To improve is good, but whats the ultimate reason behind wanting their kid/themselves to improve? To compare with peers? To compare with fellow kiasu parents? Or do they really understand whats the purpose of education and whats the purpose of an exam? I said this, not because I think I fully comprehend the deeper meaning to the purposes of both. This serves as one reflecting point, to see if you are heading the wrong path (to being competitive etc), if you are beginning to have a warped mindset/idea on education.

Just a side note, sometimes i really do not understand my laptop for the weird behaviour, just like how i dont understand myself either. beforew i typed this particular paragraph my laptop suffered from a crash. and thank goodness for the google chrome, it actually kept my entry intact! and no, i didnt saved my entry nor did i published it yet. i thought i would have to retype the above long passages! so... banzai to google chrome! you're serving me great!

Hello Back

Been missing in action lately. Just couldnt find a good time to sit down, relax, drink kopi and type my post in a calm manner till today. And yes, to top it off, its raining outside. Kinda scenic? Like those we saw on TV commercials. lol much.
Waiting for my guide books to arrive but to no avail. Seems like its not gonna be arriving any sooner. Or perhaps the UK side has to receive my payment before sending their courier service to my side :( So... go postmen go! Go deliver fast! Or mehz, maybe I should have sent it off earlier? Or I should have sent it via FEDEX! HAHAHA cos' They live to deliver.
Anyway, its a few days to school reopens for me. For some universities, they are already starting to have their recess week or your so called exam break. and yea, thats just the start of schooling for me. Happy, sad I dont know. Gonna be humble and start working triple hard as Ill be juggling between school, work and gakkai activities and chingay! Ill make sure my quit in Council be worthwhile! And, I foresee that my choice is the most right.
My hands are in an unstable state especially my left hand... :( its weak... Ought to do some hands exercise like clutching fists.

planning to have 21st birthday party? yes? like a reminder that Ive grown up. wth

I seriously think, people who are pissed off cant think proper. Means, they are not using their brains already. they've lost it.

Day 29- Goals for the next 30days

Ah great this goals thing come in promptly.
1. Settle my school fees.
2. Start on POA with sissy(sissy aint sissy. sissy is tomboy. the irony? lol) already
3. Perhaps, start on grade 2, 3 guitar?
4. Settle my tuition stuff

ALOTOFTHINGSAH

Day 28- Something that you miss

Everything.

Im missing out in a lot of things everyday, every seconds, every moment.

Day 27- A problem that you have had.

None. Okay, I cant think of any right now. Hmm perhaps, my school continuing registration fees? The instructions werent given. No instructions at all. So means if my friend did not inform me, I wont get to know of this. great

Day 26- What kind of person attracts you

In a good or bad way?

In a bad way:
By wearing eye-catching atttire like lime green/red i dont know. By... digging your nose, scratching your butt lol I guess those actions will irl people off right? By not wearing your clothes properly? By wearing chest-droppy top or butt-cellulite-showing shorts. Ill just get disgusted and turned off. But, I suppose if ladies were to wear those, the guys will prolly be enjoying much. right guys? And sums in all, uncivilised person in the public attracts my attention. only. yes.

In a good way:
Girls: err..... yes, girls attracts my attention. To put it specifically, pretty girls and girls who are fashionably dressed. CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF THEM. Sorry, but Im straight. as straight as a ruler?

Guys: Cute and handsome guys. and extraordinary man. LOL c'mon la, the first impression counts right? and who doesnt like cutie pies? All in all, just dont have to be toooooo cmi should be fine.

sianz1/2
Yours truly seriously detest people who always wait. Not saying people who wait on us. (If you get what I mean, People who wait on us, are waiter/sales assistants. its English.) waiting for the sky to fall down really. Cant stand them. Especially those who claim that they are waiting for others to take action when they are NOT DOING IT! Isnt that kinda absurd? I supposed, just type on either email or message us wont take up most of your time right?
And yes, when it comes to planning a meeting/outing those who take action is the one being labelled as the organiser. funny so. Hence, the follow up actions like coming up with an ideal date and time is... brain draining. Imagine you had to coordinate all the timings and the preferences and venue of all people involved! Person A wants this and is available during these days. However, person B wants the other. Look, this is just a short and simple comparison/analyse between 2 persons ONLY. In the actual fact, we sometimes had to plan an outing/meeting for a group of say... 5-20? or even more? Facebooking events are good. But, it wont work to its fullest if the people aint active in it. Hard uh? I guess, thats the reason why many detest being the one who plan/initiates/take action.

Aside that, should I sign up for Summer Programme next year? That would mean... going to London for 3weeks. nearly 1 month. Yes, no? This is definitely a good chance for me to get exposed to overseas stuffs, and get independent!

Think, Im gonna stop his tuition. 2weeks later. hmm

A fulfilling day

Yesterday was a mixed feeling day. Kicked off my day with eCr and its literally yea, kicked off and got pissed off. Just for your information, eCr is one period where SIM UOL students select their units/modules and timetable and lecturers. Although there's a system that allows a particular batch of students to do their eCr at a different timing, the system is rather lag. Sorry correction, VERY LAG. And I would say this arrangement of batches/courses students to select at different timing/days is... unfair. Cos the first batch will be able to choose the good lecturers and good timings whereas the last will be put at the very disadvantage. agree? But as of now, even I cant think of any better arrangements to suggest the 'banned' of such practice. And yes, lag, 30mins timeout session and apparently many are experiencing the timeout session at only say 5mins? All the hopeful souls were just praying/cursin/hoping/swearing for the system to work, to load, to proceed to 'Save and Continue' but its only 1.5hrs after the start of the session that we got our timetable. What an excited moment huh? Thought I was bad enough? No. There are people in much deeper shit that I do. My friend waited to 2hrs, some 6hours, some even had to call the School Helpdesk to enquire. I guess, the school admin had a tough day yesterday and it gonna last for at least a week? For there are different batches and courses students. haahha. All thanks to the lousy system. And yea, my school aint the worse, NUS' bidding system via luck and credit is worse I would say. very mmuch pissed off yea. that sums up my morning.

(Edit: My mood got lifted up now, 7/9/2011, lol. Cos Im finally able to choose good lecturers!)

And, so I brought my family to swensens to have our lunch using the Groupon :) All in all, I just paid 7bucks at the restaurant and had 47dollars worth of 3 main courses :) envy? I tell you, there's no need to envy. The price is so UP there, I could just get it at a cheaper rate elsewhere. Ambience aint good, it was crowded and many were walking about. Unlike those hotel restaurants or sea view side restaurants. But the good that we ordered are pretty... healthy. haha so thats good?

Next, proceed on by I went out to meet gladys and soomin. I was late, as usual. heh :P Went Teoheng the first time lol. And the shopping mall looks run down. VERY. Our room that I booked, was small to #$^#!^!&^ THE SMALLEST SMALL I EVER GET EVER SINCE I STARTED GOING SING K WITH MY FRIENDS. THATS EVEN SMALLER THAN MY STOREROOM/TOILET! grah!

Heres a photo of this pretty girl :P

Day 25- Someone who fascinates you and why

Uhm. No one fascinates me except myself.

Day 24- your favorite movie and what its about

Harry Potter.

Magical, Romance, Fights, Fantasy, Friends. C'mon who doesnt know Harry Potter? haha. Its about that boy who was wounded by the You Know Who with the Lightning scar on his forehead supporting the PAP (this part is an extra hahahha) brave his way through many obstacles into the Magical World via Train Platform 3 3/4's wall. Yes, he crashes into the wall to get to the another realm. He met his truest friends and a few more new friends. Namely, Ron and Hermione. You Know Who detests his mum who spike his mudblood daddy's drink such that he fell in love with the witch, but left her cos the drug wears off after a few years when You Know Who was born. And for some You Know What reason he has to kill mudblood baby boy; Harry Potter is the chosen one. So, at the last sequel, that shows the final showdown between Harry and Lord Voldermort. Kinda swift and short showdown though. Last scene was the good beaten the bad and the good live happily ever after with their partners and children. yea, watch the 8 series to find out more! THATS A 100% AWESOME GUARANTEED MOVIE IN ONE'S LIFETIME! WATCHIT! You'll love it! :)

-
I think my slimming mission is somewhat getting better. Im getting slimmer and slimmer day by day. lol. Thats so... unbelievable that this actually works! Tried it on myself taking me as a guinea pig before Im gonna work on my sister and mumsie... :) Thats the good thing with knowing what you are eating and what you need. :) great!

Urgh this is so difficult! And I didnt expect choosing these good looking guys can be such a chore! Perhaps, Ill do much much better if I were to copy and paste 5 attractive and famous ladies. I could even do up till a 100? hah. Thats why, I look/stare/glare at pretty girls. hehhehheh Some weird habit of mine? 

xoxo!

Day 22- How have you changed in the past 2 years?

2 years ago I was preparing to mug damn hard for A levels! Uhm, glad that Ive morphed into someone who's intelligent, hardworking, mature, responsible, sarcastic, lazier, more dependent and independent in some ways. Yup, thats about it. Sometimes, circumstances call for a change. We just have to.

Day 21- One of your favourite shows

Wha thats quite a lot.

As of 2011, 

Chinese local drama: On the Fringe 2, Little Nyonya, C.L.I.F., all recent shows by Rui En and Jeanette Aw haha

Taiwan drama: Fated to love you (definitely the best)

Hong Kong drama: No specific ones but I like those police or comedy dramas by Shermaine Sheh and Guo Jin An

Variety Shows: GUESS GUESS GUESS! Thats the best ever! By Jacky Wu! :D

Movie: Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows! 

Day 20- How important you think Education is

VERY.

Education starts from foetus teaching to childcare education, preschool, primary, secondary, higher secondary, tertiary to society education. Education is everywhere and it is somehow a complementary with our surroundings. Education moulds the child. Especially, the character, moral teaching. Therefore, I think there should be teachers specialising in educating CME (Civics Moral Education) and CME is a must conduct lesson in School instead of asking the form teacher/civics tutor to 'teach' that. They cant. Everyone has their own forte and they are doing it already! i.e. a Math teacher is a form teacher of a certain class. And usuallly, in this case, for teachers who are super nice and empathetic to their students, they will use the CME class to conduct their subject lessons during critical periods like Olevels, Alevels or PSLE. (Unless their form teacher doesnt teach them the generic subject la) So yea, Moral and Academics education are equally important but I do think a person with high EQ and AQ survives longer than people with only high IQ, cos they only know how to nicely beat around the bush via extraordinary IQ.

Whatever it is. This post came in good time today! cos... its TEACHERS' DAY TODAY!

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!

I think teachers who genuinely want to improve their students are angels! Really, from the deepest of my heart, I do respect them a lot. Thats why, when I did something that I wouldnt think I will do, I feel guilty even until now that I shouldnt have did that. And... you will really feel your teachers if you are one. As mentioned always, Im in the educational sector right now since 1+ years ago? Trust your teachers I can guarantee majority of them treat you students like their child and want you guys/girls to hit the top sector in life i.e. be a good person contributing back to the society. (And... moral education comes into place! haha right??) The adverts produced by MOE seemingly trying to promote teacher as a career. Yes, it is. But, its not glorifying the life of a teacher I must say. Do you not agree that there are such teachers?

(Im damn pissed off now. Thanks to blogger and my fricking auto restart laptop. my orignal posts from here on is LOST!)

Im gonna write vaguely now on. Had written a testimonial like to all the teachers but laptop shuts it off. so.. here it goes... Starting from Primary School till now:

Ms Teo, my 3 years form teacher. The good 3 years dont come by easy, the students had to fight for it. She's really a very nice teacher. And, thanks to her my English improved by abit. At least I got a clearer idea of the tenses concept. And thanks for letting me type on a Computer's keyboard when my Invention idea got accepted for the preliminary round! (Yes, Im creative! okay!) hahah remembered how envy I was when Miss Teo typed. Its so fast! And I thought she had a magical hands and how I wished I could type that fast without looking at the keyboard. HAHHA to think. Now, I COULD DO THIS AS WELL! (Trying to type without looking. ahhahahahhah)
Ms Ong, short, PMS, math teacher. She got me being competitive in Math.
Chen Lao Shi who encouraged us to purchase the then Dou Hao primary chinese newspapers to improve my Chinese. Yes, my chinese sucked. 

Mr Bala, for coaching us Math. He's really good and I could really adapt to (new) teachers despite that heavy Indian plus Moustache accent. hehe It wouldnt have been easy on him as well as Ms Agnes Ho, physics teacher, who are both teachers I usually bombard questions with... Thanks for their patience with me. And those subjects Ive improved drastically and high life passion still in it!
Ms Ang, Ms Literature(Ive forgotten her name :/), Ms Dawn Chin, Ms Cho. Thanks for being so never dying determination in rescuing my English! Never easy too especially on language subjects. Thanks to Miss Literature that I loved Literature, and even wanted to opt for Lit during Sec3 streaming cos I got an A grade in it despite my lousy English. hah the irony.
Thanks to my dance teacher in charge plus Chinese teacher! Mdm Yick! Thanks for going that extra-mile in taking care of all the dancers i.e. forking our own money to ask us down to Alumni Dinner, to pass me the make up set at my house, to make mango pudding for us (Yes, I remembered that! Cos it tasted nice. It was superbly done!) Thanks to Ms Tan Bao Jun who taught me Chinese as well, your class is also fun-filled and you are just too cute. HAHHA yea, even until now.

Mr kwek! the funny humourous math teacher! I still can remember how he turns his back to write on the flash screen during lecture. like a funny only. HAHHA Mrs Sim, the strict, understanding and reasonable economics teacher! I miss your shoutings! :( Miss Low, the unique cool pretty physics teacher ever or probably the coolest teacher I ever met. Not lying. Thank you guys for letting me consult you so so so many times! And thanks for pushing us on this journey! Thank you for not giving either of us up!

Thanks to all my GP teachers, I know, its never easy teaching me, especially, GP. Thank you to Ms Kathleen, Ms R, Mr Edson Ng! Thank you to the latter for letting me know the seriousness of the whole situation and how extreme bad my GP was. I mean, I know I sucked at it, but in the actualy fact there's this possibility that I could retain thanks to GP, I could have to retake, I could have flunk badly in it. No matter if thats a scare, or really what you think, thank you. (To fight on even stronger when adversities arise) Thanks to SRJC's PE TEACHERS! thanks for letting me accomplish the mission Id never ever thought I could do it! Really. (tearing) hahha I hated running since sec3 on. I would never run longer than 2.4km cos I thought 2.4 is already very bad. Before that I used to run 5km. Guess what, I was trained to run 10km! oh frick. Then, actual fact, I ran 12km in the event; Will Run. 2 EXTRA KMs! Thats something I never thought of. Thank you for making the impossible possible. (Its the determination, and effort put in to accomplish the mission impossible thank yourself and the teachers!)
ah yes! MR ANG! THE CHEMISTRY TEACHER THAT MADE ME LOVE CHEMISTRY! HAHAHA The funny teacher. I was all so bad in it ever since Sec3. F9 all the way even until J1, Chemistry is only a just pass.

Thanks to Mr Eng and Mr Choo for coaching us Guitar! Its definitely a good musical skill to learn and master! :D

Thanks to Ikeda Sensei who taught many of us the way to live, to study! Studying the world's foremost philosophy.

Thanks all my university lecturers! Mr Nageb, Mr Adrian Tang, Ms Lee CC, Mr Syed the loss voice joke humourous singer math lecturer! 

TEACHERS'! YOU GUYS ROCK ON! LOVIN ALL OF YOU! THANKS FOR MOULDING US ALL AS INDIVIDUALS WITH GOOD CHARACTER AND ACCOMPLISHED ACADEMICS!
