finally i’m not coughing anymore (actually it’s been better since tuesday!) and here are some updates…..

Tuesday: Tuition and Cycling!!
final lesson before the family goes on a week-long vacation to Bangkok! awww i wanna go travel too!!! =( but yea today they wrote 周记 (journal)! hehx. it was a nice twist to all that assessment book doing =P which bored both me and the students. ive got no choice, the parents want me to finish 1A through 2A (and start on 2B) in this hols alone! so, i got to deliver that. im gg to try to think of new n better ways to guide them through the books tho.. maybe inject d lessons with sth new here and there, 5/10mins of some new stuffs. it’s hard to get their attention if they get bored. they’re only 7-8 years old! *brainstorming*

after tuition, we went cycling at East Coast Park (wiki or official?). and guess wad? it was raining mammoths and cheetahs :S we rented the bikes for 3.75hrs (which cost a total of S$ 24.00 for two people!!!) bt we actually only cycled about 2 hrs :( boos. cos it was raining sooo heavily. sads! so yeah sighs. so much for cycling! but…. i didnt fall!!!! =) the last time i cycled there i fell quite badly loool. so yea i was glad i managed not to fall at all! =) (but i dare not do U-turns cos .. it’s quite risky aahhhh!!!) bt we didnt cycle the whole stretch of ECP. only started from .. near the underpass at Area B, and to somewhere near Bedok Jetty. =)

Wednesday:
i forgot what i did. but, it was definitely something along the “slacking” lines =P hahahhaha. como siempre, lazy me! probably playing on Photoshop for a bit here and there.. (maybe i can use one of the pics i did for a blogskin just to try it out n see how it looks muahaha)

Thursday:
slacking day again! spent the whole day in front of PS and the tv loool. didnt get much done tho. didnt get ANYTHING done, actually. boos. what a wasted day! :(

Friday (TODAY!):
CYCLING AT ECP!!!!!!!! muahahahhaahhahaas. today, the weather was gooooooood!!! but the sun was hot (and we didnt feel aniting until we discovered how red our arms were) ok, my arms (=S) now look like cooked lobster!!!! omg. and the thing is, it’s red on the top, and white below. looks like the meat of cooked lobster, kinda. boos. =( but we cycled quite far today! almost a full 3hrs from the end of ECP (where they cordoned off an area for renovations) to the other (near Changi) it was sooo cool to see the belly of the planes when tilting ur head! and seeing the pressure cloud like thing on the back of the wings!

we took about twenty to thirty mins each way up/down and we went up/down FOUR TIMES!!! hahahaha. like, down, up, down, up. and my face looks like a monkey’s arse!

yes. just like that. =(

and we dropped by to see the sand sculpture!!! =) so cool!!! =) and stopped for sugarcane juice halfway hehehe. and yes lets not talk about all those inconsiderate ppl. teenagers!! gawrsh. urgh. my blood boils at the mention of them. booos!!

but, all in all, I HAD SUCH FUN TODAY!!!! (yes, in spite of the sunburns……)

(and ive been having weird dreams every night since tues night!! gawrsh. really weeeeird dreams. not nightmares tho. thanks gdness.) =)

what a happy happy life i have!!! =) im so easily satisfied i guess lol. just one happy day! one happy day!! and im sooo happy!! (cant stop smiling!) (almost) =) and im tired.

i think it was too hot and i didnt get enough fluids. cos nw im actually starting to cough a little bit. boos. =( sads wors..

looking forward to sunday! (half looking forward to it) ok, so im looking forward to morning and afternoon, but not night. cos we’re gg to wrap rice dumplings sun morning and afternoon!!!!! wahahahahahahaha. so happy!!! =D (bt i have to face my maternal aunts at night. URGH.) =(

for now, (the very incoherent) yixin shall try to get some rest. =) tomorrow will be a slack day. =)

Through The Coughing..

yes i am still coughing. more than one person has told me that it could develop into tb.. :S eeeps! anw, i’ve pulled out from the philippines trip (just ydae night i confirmed it).. moms and dads are really worried abt my health issues apparently cos i have yet to recover from the coughing and stuff and in addition to that, i cant get my typhoid shots either.. so yea. im nt gg to the philippines, which means i can go to cheryl’s bdae!!! =) who else frm nj is gg??!?!?! lemme noe yea? =D

so a few updates abt whats been gg on in my life last two days:

Saturday, 24th May 2008: 3rd SHF-NIE National Seminar 2008 “Raising Champions for Tomorrow”

We volunteered for this event as .. volunteers (:S) and seriously, i cldnt help thinking: danng i preferred d organisation (of the ground ctrls) of our forum! hmm lets just say it wasnt very well organised, and.. it was always “change of plans” “sorry no change of plans” “there may be last minute change of venue” “we’re really shorthanded” blablabla. it was this then that then this then that all the dangged time! got sick n tired of it really. boos.

“volunteers can attend any seminar of their choice” — hello?!!?!? we cld only get at most half an hour out of the hour+ seminar. whats the blardie point?!?!? (dots) carried the loads of goodie bags here and there then there was this huuuuuge excess. (:S) and a lot of unnecessary steps were taken (e.g. goodie bag coupons!) it was totally unnecessary yea..

all in all, instructions were not clear, and were often changed at the very last minute. they said there’ll be a briefing at 0730hrs. in the end, there was NO briefing, and everything was in one huge mess. carried stuffs that were not used, not needed and stuffs tt were needed were not taken blabla. yea i noe they’re shorthanded and stuffs ..

but, if (as i heard) they could put so much effort into making d seminar a success, why cldnt they do so for the ground work as well? the personnel from SHF werent even dealing with majority of the crowd at all! they only dealt with VIPs. like wth. i think majority of the ppl who attended are not VIPs? like.. hello?!? i do not think its very fair to throw volunteers like us (who do not know what they want to do since there have been no briefing WHATSOEVER) to sink or swim in the swarms of people with the horrible organisation and arrangement of the ground stuffs!

all in all, i was freakin’ pissed that day. and i noe im not the only one with complaints.

Sunday, 25th May 2008: Rest Day!!! =)

so it was a day for me to reeeeelax! =D watched rerun of Project Runway 4!! muahaha Christian Siriano won! (you can find his wiki here) he is talented la what else can i say? i pretty much like most his works, tho like some said, not everyone can carry off his looks. but oh wells =) his favourite word? FIERCE! hahahas. he’s the youngest winner in project runway’s history! =)

i liked Rami Kashou’s dresses too. i think he did really well in the finals. (and i like his hairstyle =D) and of course, who am i to say anything? i noe nuts abt fashion. i just have to say, i like their stuff.. =) and that’s all there is to fashion for me. cos im less than a noob at fashion stuff muahahahas. (at least i know that about myself)

and i finally did up an initial draft of the YCM claim form thing. it’s looking like i can actually complete this statement of accounts thing pretty quickly IF (and only if) i can get the info i need from FPO asap. they did say 2-3 weeks to 1mth so .. i certainly hope not.

and for today.. slacking in the morning, and .. tuition in the evening.. and .. the kid was .. lets just say .. horrible. i meant the boy. not concentrating, giving me the long face (tho i still went to teach them despite being sick and voiceless), fooling around. urgh. i nearly slapped him. and can you believe he actually said this:”teacher you know what colour panties i wearing?” and being “teacheR”, i kindly mentioned that “panties” was used for girls and not guys and politely told him that guys wear “briefs”. :S dots.

it was a draining night. and tomorrow morning, i have to climb out of bed at 730 to go teach them again. give me strength ……….. (and hopefully tomorrow he will at least be a little better!)

and .. i am always touched by my friends who always appear at strategic timings =) thanks ahh qx =) i hope everything’s fine (tho im quite / pretty sure they aren’t fine at all) and just like u’ve always been there for me, i hope i can be there for u as well.. i hope u’d let me be =)

im always very very touched to noe tt ppl do care abt me. a lot about me =) and they show it in the real-est (if there’s such a word) way possible.

“looking at u from a distance silently..” — this sentence brought back some memories. bad memories of cos loool. but .. yea .. =) i noe wat is meant n i really truly appreciate it =) v v gan dong wors.. =) thanks again ahh qx.. hehehe.. -huggs- tkc ahh..

tomorrow i have to wake up really early (like at 5am kind of early) to go down to RJC for the SHF-NIE thing (Singapore Heart Foundation). so yea. had some cough medicine just now and it just made me cough more. what irony! but oh wells. looks like i cant get my typhoid jab in time for philippines looool.

so anw, went to the chi doc at bukit batok tdy aft the meeting (actually i went off more like halfway :S). i been seeing this chi doc for quite some time (but nt consistently la). the female doc is actually the mom of my pri sch classmate! muahahas. i can still rmb her very well (my classmate, i mean). around the same height as me (used to be), very tanned, has a habit of speaking quite loudly, very bubbly and happy girl, doesnt take kindly to ppl who always look dwn on us for speaking chinese to each other (lol!) yea. :D n i was in total shock when her mom told me she’s now flying with SQ as a SINGAPORE GIRL!!!! oh my gawrsh. seriously, i was in shock. so was my mom and dad when i told them. wahas. cannot imagine. hehehehe.

met xueyi on the bus jz nw! gawrsh i was pretty surprised to see her lol :D bt it was nice seeing her la! hai. miss d ba peeps a lot leh.. hai. just hanging out. i noe things happened towards the end of the sem.. i nvr wanted aniting to get in the way of any friendships, and i thot i wasnt letting it get in between my relationships with others, but, apparently not. i did feel quite distinctly the pulling apart from the ba peeps towards the end of the sem. and i was sooooo sad cos i (and i noe i dont say this, bt i really do) depend on them for a lot of moral support. hai. maybe .. i dont say enough to people whom i care about.

so, right here, right now, im just going to tell all the ba peeps, girls, i do love u guys and i cherish all u guys and the times we spent tgt. i noe sometimes i dont tok too much or maybe i keep saying the wrong stuff, but, i really enjoyed all d times we spent tgt. and i hope tt u guys feel d same too.

and all the nj peeps, all the more i have to tell u guys just how much i miss ALL of you!!! im sry i cant go to cheryl’s birthday cos ill be in philippines from the 2nd to the 9th of june and i really REALLY wanna be there. yixin is so sad now! :(

and ham n qx.. hai. i feel really bad that i cldnt be there for them when their shit stuff happened. hai.

anw, i think i shall be the first person in the world who can develop abdominal muscles just by coughing alone. :S coughing. coughing. coughing. *cough*

coughing my lungs out!

despite trying very hard not to cough, nothing is helping!!! hai. my voice wasnt tt bad before i went for tuition, but aft the two hours of tuition, i now officially sound like a guy. gawrsh. i AM trying very hard not to cough but apparently, its not very possible. and nw, the meds is starting to kick in and im starting to feel whoozy. lol. so anyhows, tml’s the post-mortem. and looks like i still have 1mth worth of work up my sleeve before i can finally say “bye-bye” to this forum. hai. hopefully can get started tml aft ba. it sux cos everything’s in such a mess! and i hate my stuffs getting messy. ARGH.

oh and i have this weird blue-black on my right knee. it’s weird cos it wasnt there last night and it was suddenly there this morning! :S my theory is, maybe i fell out of bed and landed on my right knee last night den i crawled back into bed without realising it (and without really waking up at all) and went straight back to sleep. it’s a very very plausible theory because i have had a weird tendency of doing that ever since i was little. :S yes i do think that is very possible. because it’s really in the shape of a circle right at where i normally land when i fall on my knees. :S booos. it hurts (when i press against it la!)

im coughing so much my lungs hurt. lol. think im gg to see chi doc tml.

seriously thinking abt pulling out of the philippines trip. urgh.

i’m sick-er

:) happy vesak day 2552 everyone :)

yixin is sick again. this time it seems to be more serious than the previous time. i think i over-worked myself the past few days without enough hydration and in the relentless heat. hai. had to literally draaaag myself to tuition tonight haha. and when i walked in the door the mum was like: teacher, you sick?? want to go home?? n my reaction? “OS in my head: i dragged myself here all the way to yishun n u wan me to go back just like tt?” dots. so yea i draaaaged myself through the lesson. hai. nw i feel so much worse. boos.

have just finished dinner aft reaching hm frm tuition. and of cos, i have failed to finish my statement of acc by tml. so .. i’ll just have to go back to school again someday. SHIAT. *pissed* bt i need my rest. badly. *feels horrible*

oh btw when i was waiting for my dinner jz nw, there was this woman from china whom i think is quite new here la, cos she saw the white fried carrot cake and pointed to it and asked : “那是肥肉吗？” it translates to: is that fats?? like, d-uh?!?! of cos not! when u fry fats dont they melt? :S and what makes ppl think we eat plates and plates of fats??!?! *confused*

*hums* “so i won’t hesitate no more no more … “

:)

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I’m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my bestest
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We’re just one big family.
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’m saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
I like one big family (2nd time: I like happy family)
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won’t hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved, I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No I won’t hesitate no more, no more
This cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours, I’m yours

yes the event was finally held yesterday and now it’s over. :) and now, my work starts. boos. i’d hoped to get the draft of the statement of accounts done by tues. but aft resting a whole day today (just reading), i do not think that it’s possible. cos ill be busy all day tomorrow. :( *crys*

here’s a quick update! :)

urm actually, basically, i only caught like, 5mins of the entire program which was held from ard 9a.m. (actual program starts at 9 tho registration started at 7.30a.m.) to 4.30p.m. so yea i’m real sad abt it cos i wasn’t able to catch the panel discussion (which i’d looked forward to) and i only caught like 5 mins of yunus and dzhuri :S (which was the entire length of time tt i actually caught the program) and basically, most of the other time, i was outside in the external area. in the morning it was fine, i was just looking at the catering stuff, sweating like hell in the heat (it is really like a microwave oven) esp in the stupid blazer.

and in the aft, all i was doing was basically moving stuff. and talking about this, I AM SO FREAKIN’ PISSED OK. urgh. just the thought of it seriously pisses me off. it is not my freaking fault that you refused to listen to me yea. and not that i did not inform you of it yea. URGH.

so anyways, that aside, i asked a few participants and they’ve all got good reviews of the event! yays. :) i do not in any sense think that i actually helped to make this forum the way it is and i do think that most of the credits HAVE got to go to nisha, tera, sze jia, janna, and the rest of the com (terence, qomariah, aini, and arita) yea i do not think that i actually helped at all  (other than helping to pack the 450 goodie bags and carrying them and moving all the stuff) urm yea i guess my biggest help was being the “mover”. tts actually very pathetic and very sad. :(

but im glad everything turned out well. i am excited that we actually pleased the crowd! and only ard 5% of the ppl left halfway! tt is such an achievement. great work u ppl :) and of course with the help of all the sponsors, all the ppl tt helped out esp melvin, faeez, james, zubaidah, aisyah, +++ hehx of cos i have to specially thanks all those named cos they helped carry so many stuffs :) n there r too many helpers to be named! :)

but yea. it was tiring :) nie’s not big a place, but .. it’s not small either hahaha. ive got abrasions from all the moving and ridiculous cuts everywhere from i-have-no-idea-where/what and my arm and thigh muscles ache lol. i am just too weak la. must train! must train!

all in all, i know this will be a great memory and i know i will miss working with the people on the committee. every one of them :)

which reminds me that this is not yet over for me :( *sads* hai.

one last word to the organising committee of the 1st Annual ASEAN Education Forum 2008: great job you guys! :) now the next com will have some stress keeping up! muahahas. :)

guess where i am at now? school. yes i’m at school. boos. haha. the forum is tomorrow!!! *excited* i hope everything goes well *cross my fingers* and janna is munching on chips now. haha.

n im so tired nw. a little shagged lol. but yea oh wells.. its kind of nice to have the whole school to ourselves (6ppl!) 6 girls, to be exact muahahahaha. wells i need to wake up at 5am tomorrow. boos. but other than that, i can live :D hmm i nvr kind of like, had this peaceful view / perception of nie before. i mean, when i see the school it’s always like bustling and busy and everything.. bt tonight, it was oven-like, very hot, heat-wave(y) and it’s .. quiet. :) the trees in nie are actually really beautiful. if i remembered to bring my camera in the morning, i would probably go take a few pics. but as it is now, hai. i forgot the camera. boos. yixin is sad.

and tired.

and having a back-ache. n probably going to slp soon LOL.

*wish us luck for tomorrow peeps!*
