lady

I've been away from this blog for the longest. I wonder if anyone even reads this anymore? Anyone there?....
I've visited the site to type entries now and then but I always get distracted with other things or work to do. 

In the past few months, I've come to realize more and more about the mysteries and intricacies of life.
I realized tht people are NEVER what we ASSUME them to be. Most people are just down right arses. And my biggest regret? Making a number of friends online. I realized tht I had been too naive and unassuming and made friends with some people who shd never had had the opportunity to know me nor about my life.
Alas, I discovered tht too late after being hurt and all. Which is why I am glad that I have more or less severed all ties with most of my online "pals". Some people just pretend to be concerned and emphatetic just to DIG for information and have fodder for gossip. Very sadly, I wonder if all tht I had shared with them had just been NOTHING to them other than gossip food and I feel sad to think I had bared my heart.
Like what Shahida said, "No wonder they are called "online friends""...The worst things, all those who hurt me were Females. Urgh. Makes me wonder why women/ladies are like this!!!
Ah. Goodbye to you all. Eventhough there had been nice moments, I doubt I would actually feel sad for walking away from such dumb friendships.

On another note, I've ceased talking. Seems like I'm so changed now. Thts alarming. Initially I was shocked but just grown used to it now. Seems like the path to destiny is an intrinsic web of confusion.

 
 

Hmmm....I have recalled some facts I wanted to blog abt. Hehe.
Recently, in past 3 weeks I've caught a few movies with my beloved friends. I shall share abt it here.

Tht time when we met for Shahida's b'day celeb, we were supposed to catch "Confessions of a Shopaholic". But, our diva b'day girl decided on the day of the meet tht she is dying to see her "Paul Walker"....So plans for Shopaholic dashed and newayz the timings were absolutely no good at PS. So, we got tix for Fast & Furious 4.

Now, for anyone who knows me so well by now, they shd know how I've a history of never catching the 1st few parts of certain movies, and always end up catching part 3 or 4 or whatever....[For e.g., remember "Pirates of the Caribbean"...and a few other movies.] I'm famous for doing such things. Hahahah. So obviously I've never watched Fast & Furious 1,2 and EVEN 3. Wonderful ain't it? And I was on my way to catch number 4. WTH.
Haha. But newayz Jean & Shahida updated me and even during the movie Shahida fed me lil' nuggets of info here and there.
However, the worst thing is tht....After watching it, I completely forgot abt it!! Hahah. Till like 4 days later when during a chance conversation with my bro, I remembered it. Thts why I forgot to blog abt it tht time! Haha. *shrugs*

Newayz, the movie was ok la. I liked the car-chases and car-races. Thts abt all tht I liked in the movie...The CARS. Awesome hot stuff.



Following that, a week later I met up with Sarah for a meet-up and catch up. Plus we had talked abt catching a movie tgthr. Plus I needed to get her her belated b'day prezzie. So....we met up, caught "Knowing" and went shopping aft tht to walk off the disaster of tht movie!! Haha.
Actually the movie started of pretty well. Was quite interesting and intriguing. BUT...the ending sucked horribly tht I shall advise everyone NOT to catch it. OMG. I felt so upset...haha...But atleast the beginning and middle parts had me on the edge of my seat and feeling a bit spooked too. Aft tht movie, we went to eat and den it was shopping day for us at Far East. I've not really done tht kind of shopping in a looo00nng time. I guess curz we were hunting for her b'day prezzie too. But in the mean time, whilst hunting, it was me who purchased sooo many things, ranging from an inner black tee [recommended by Miss Stylish Zareen from Honey & Bee], to rings for my fingers. And even a cool looking top from Honey & Bee [which btw my class kids say is ****....WTH???].

Okie...aft tht,on the next day I met Farhana. Finally we decided to catch a movie tgthr. It was the 1st time we were gonna catch a movie tgthr.I was so excited. Hehe!! And I also discovered a treasure trove at Cathay beside PS. Great price for the movie tix, tht Farhana and I were so happy. Hehe. And we caught "Confessions of a Shopholic". Boy, it was sooo funny!! We had a great time rolling ard in laughter. Witty humour and we could oh-so-relate to the movie!! Plus, guess what we did aft watching the movie?...Hahaha...

Heya all! My past weeks have been terribly exciting. Haha. Alot of things occuring...

Well, firstly the centre I'm working in was shown on national news. Interesting enuff. Well, apparently some reporter from Channel 8/Mediacorp knows my ctr's principal. ANd since in recent weeks/months, there's been a spike in HFMD cases, they wanted to showcase how our ctr was stepping up our handwashing/hygiene/etc etc stuff. Sooo...early Monday morning, on 23rd March, came the reporter and his cameraman and a HUGE video-camera. Ah. Luckily...Amanda was chatting with me the night before,So I dressed up. Hahaha.

So they video-ed here and there and everywhere. Tht night they broadcasted on Channel U, Channel 8, Channel 5 & CNA. Woah. Talk abt being on national tv...this was national news la. And me, the ever camera-shy and media-related-shy person was so nervous. And I did appear on CHannel 5 and CNA....LUCKILY, not in the foreground [i was in the bkgrd but it was obvious its ME!]....So much for my privatized life. Haha. Oh well. =)))

Secondly....tht same week, on the 25th, a Wednesday...I was, of all the things and crazy occurences in this whole wide world...punched by my class kid. On my face. Well, to be precise, on my left eye. Like right smack in my eye. Oh yeay. How NOT great.
Story goes like this...This particular boy is "violent"..he tends to lash out at friends/peers if they even so much as touch his shoulder. He's always in his imaginary world of fighting....[Because of this there's more reason I hate the stooooooopiiiddd cartoons like Ben 10 and Digimon & Power Rangers & whatever Nonsensical shit out there]. Newayz...since he's always in his own world, he rarely talks. But ends up 'haiyaaaa" and "hee haaw"...or whatever and showing his "fighting skills". On tht particular morning [basically a repeat of every other morning for the past few weeks], practically every child in my HUGE class of 21 complained to me tht he had hit them in some way or another. Soooo, being the ever-efficient and NICE teacher, just before we went into class after breakfast, I bent down to him, at his eye level curz he's realllly short, and told him "CHild X, don't beat your friends. Its not nice"...and the next thing I know I've been punched.
Woah! I was SOOOO effing mad. I stood up straight away, grabbed his arm and brought him to the office which is beside my classroom.

At tht time,there happened to be abt 3-4 form teachers from other classes there, plus Amanda. I told her what he had done and added "Scold him in whatever language you want.Curz English is obviously not going thru". And I left. My gdness. My eye was beginning to tear...Curz urs truly here was wearing contact lenses!!!! and my brow bone was throbbing for hours. Imagine la...children might LOOK puny and power-less but they can sure pack in a punch [pun intended].
The principal was mad. like M.A.D mad. I was asked to call the parents to come in to talk to us. and Her.
I tell u la....so many weird things have happened to me before. One of my girls has pinched me too...but never have I taken in a punch in my eye from any child. Haha. This goes down as one of the strangest events in my life!!!

Hmmmm....other than for these events...there are a few more. I'm getting tired. But I shall update soon soon!!! If I can find the time.
Nitez!!...~~~

So far, this has been a very expensive weekend. I've spent it, indulging or rather [out of necessity] purchasing various stuff.

First up......

Mac Liquid Eyeliner Brush...Its a precision thin brush, so for better definition...Plus NO need to shake, twist or roll the pen. Haha. Just click the cap open and apply.Ah. Easy. Esp for perennially late ppl like me.

Secondly...


I was supposed to purchase my usual Incanto Shine by Salvatore Ferragamo. CURZ I've run out of it and have not purchased it in some time. In fact, as we were on our way to purchase tht, Shahida was telling me to get smthg else. I didn't want to. Den when we reached the place, the sales guy passed me the testing papers for some other perfume...and above it was Secret Wish. I tried this, and a few others...And Hmmm...Secret Wish stayed with me. =)))
Of fairies and secret wishes I shall dream of den...

And den my most expensive [well....actually it was within my budget and was smthg tht I had been thinking of getting]...item for the weekend. My Samsung touch screen phone. Ok...Reason why I have a new phone is curz I wish to bring my current bill down. And damn, its not working no matter what I try. So...This new phone is only for CALLING. And my old phone for SMS. ONLY. I'll still text from this one as I get 500 free. But mostly, it'll be from my old line. My brother joked as to why I was making life so complicated for them. Well. If I don't start now, I KNOW for sure tht I'll end up with another $200 over bill for my current line. Maybe even $300. Plus, now tht I've started the research and every letter sent out has my old hp number, might as well do smthg abt it. If I stick to what I wanna do, I'll end up paying half or even less than half of the amount I'm currently paying each month, every month for the past year. Yea yea...It took me one year to get to my senses. [After I purchased this phone, I realized my centre's principal has the same phone. Ah. I should have taken the gold one den...........HMMMMMMMM.........]

Alritey....Off I go to do some work. I've spent enuff time lazing and doing other things this weekend. Need to complete so many things!!
Ciaozzz...~~~!!!!

I'm supposed to be deeply engrossed in my long over-due lesson plas right now!! But I'm feeling a lil' happy so I decided to blog. As I was multi-tasking by thinking abt my lesson plans and listening to High School Musical's "A Night to Remember" song...I received an email notification online. I recognized the sender as a girl who is currently in Ngee Ann and in the ECH course. She's a friend of Masturah's [my ex-poly mate]...who, a few months back needed my help to answer some interview questions about working with special needs children.

Masturah had smsed me to ask if I could help and I agreed. So the girl sent her qns via e-mail. But ya all know abt me and my BUSY life eh. I received the questions, den promptly replied to her telling her I will answer the questions and send it within 2-3 days. Den I happily reverted back to my hectic work duties and was in the midst of doing assignment for an important topic [the first part out of the 2 parts tht was supposed to determine whether I can take Honours or not]....AND supposedly to revise for my special needs exam paper. Imagine la. HOW to answer interview questions??

Den days later, the girl e-mailed me urgently and said she needed the answers as her paper was like due in 3 days or smthg like tht. Darned!! I felt sooo uber guilty tht I quickly took time off to answer her questions as best as I could. She completed the paper and now...

Ta Da!....She got back her paper and she got an A for it!. Yeay!! I'm so glad tht I had helped her. Of curz the A was definitely her hard work and her ability to impress the lecturers [I shd know better since thts what WE all have to do in class now what!!]....But newayz, its always nice to feel part of someone's achievement especially when help has been rendered by us. It makes us feel proud. [Wah wah..I taught my kiddos abt feeling proud today!]

I feel happy curz she took the time and effort to send me an e-mail, as written by her, with her "Heartfelt thank you"...SO sweet.
Yea. So I'm happy.
=)))

Its been a strange night. I decided to remain online instead of appearing offline. And its been nice. I initiated chat conversations with some friends whom I've not been contacting tht much. And some who don't contact me much, also had conversations with me. All in all I would say this has been a pretty interesting night.

I laughed a lil. Reminiscized a lil. Got mad a lil. Got surpised a lil. Got sad a lil. Got excited a lil. And now I'm looking forward to my week ahead. I have dates planned and I have work planned. Plus assignment [planned and HAVE to do.No choice abt tht one!!]

Its been sometime since I gave myself some thought. I mean, overall on a daily basis I'm a self-centred egocentric person. But I've just pushed myself negatively to a point where I've affected my health and my sanity. I think its abt time I pulled myself back before I lose myself. I've got alot of things to do. I've to achieve alot more. And I'm still searching for tht special someone. Everyone just keeps asking me if I'm dating anyone or have anyone in mind. OR "When are you getting married??"

How do I tell all these ppl tht the one I wanted, and still want with all of my heart, mind and soul has cheated me. And doesn't want me? There's no way tht I can explain it to anyone curz its what only my heart and only what I know. Sure, there are so many who are telling me to move on. I am definitely doing tht, but its a tough uphill battle. I will end up victorious, but not now for sure. There's alot of things and issues I need to get over first. Slow and steady...I will go.

Right now I am not exactly working on anythg to help myself curz I'm just so busy. But in my day to day interactions, I realize tht there's so much I can do. I will start, gradually. =))

So for those who are helping me, just with a simple word or encouragement, thx.

As for in recent days, nothing's new. I'm still busy. Totally swamped. Oh...I caught "He's just not tht into you" with Shahida on Friday....Nice endearing movie. Good for us girls. So far the 2nd movie whereby audience actually clapped at the end of the movie. I'm supposing thts curz alot of young ppl there. Haha...the 1st movie was "The Dark Knight"....the 1st time when i watched it at Jurong, everyone clapped too. Hmmm...

Btw, Sarah, if ur reading this...Don't worry. I'm still joining u all for the "He's just not tht into you" movie outing too...It won't hurt watching a 2nd time. Heh.

Alright, more for another night. Maybe aft all my dates. And nahhh....No special guy dates ah. Its all with wonderful females tht I oh-so-love. =)))
