GOAL!

I finally fulfilled my wish of eating splizza! It's kinda size that I have expected since I'm eating it with my student. I'm afraid I can't even finish it all!

Feel like watching world cup tonight but I need my sleep if not the next day I will have no mood for work =( 4 years 1 time!

I'm so not fit to be a polar bear!
That's because I'm so afraid of being cold.
Brought two jackets to tuition today! How exaggerating...

Today I went for an exercise in the morning with my Mum. It's been so long since I last exercised and having breakfast with her. Then I rushed down for tuition but before that we have centre song signing. It's ML and my turn for this week. Was supposed to attend a Malay wedding at the same time but I shall give it a miss. Very tempted to sign in the bus so I started out with short movements, but it become bigger and bigger as I got into the mood of it. Of course, there are bound to be people looking at me. My tuitee wasn't here today so I am quite free, oh! I took over KP's Haziq. Was playing game at the same time when I accompany him to do his work. I taught a little of Math to Mabel's tuitee too while Uncle is trying hard to check his comprehension, wahahahaha!
We delayed til 630 before we headed for dinner with ruiyun. Then we ate slowly til 730 when we stupidly suggested to go Harbourfront by taking 963 from Woodlands terminal to terminal. Had this kind of lame htht which I don't think it's htht well it was just a gossiping session by this M!!! But I had a good laugh with them til we reached there at 8 plus. Poor attendance for You'll be in my heart. I was kinda addicted to upside down til I know the lyrics better than the two of them who are supposed to perform this song!

I didn't know vivo city can be a such a nice place on the outer part. We went down to the "pool". Good relaxation but kind of dark there. What the use of talking about bonding all the time when they themselves are bonding among themselves?

I dislike taking the train. Maybe two of the things I like about is, train is faster, and some of the subways got the movie feel. That's all. I detest the feeling of being touched in squeezy trains as I need alot of personal space. Moreover, I can't sip a bit of water whenever I feel thirsty, let alone eating. Which is why I would love to spend more money on bus concession and bus fares, because in buses, I get to sit on a seat most of the time without being too close to other people. I can get to see the scenery when the bus is in motion. Take a look at little things in life, birds, squirrels... small things are so insignificant and yet their presence can inspire me sometimes. I love to do some reflections, think about stuff and all by myself. And also on trains, our locals' bad habits and ugly side are easily visible, which I don't really want to see that so often.

Now, why do I start this random topic? Because today when I board the train, there are so many inconsiderate and gan jiong people in every cabin who refuse to move to the centre of the train. I can understand if there are people like me who needs to be near the door and get off the next stop easily. But look, it's from Bukit Batok to Jurong East, surely everyone or majority will have to get off the train. Why can't this people move in and let the others near the door have more space? And there was this guy in a very weird position, the whole long arms stretching in front of me wanting to grab onto the pole when the train ISN'T moving. So my head can't go into the train. When the door closes, my head almost got knocked and kiap-ed by the closing doors... Luckily I have fast reflex.

Tak boleh tahan...

I look forward to see Paul every night at 1030 pm.
He never fails to make me laugh every night before I sleep, making me feel happy everday

He is the first big octopus I've seen in my life.

OH! My poor Paul, people are barbequing you! How cruel...
CRIES!!!

*Rolls on the floor laughing out loud*

I must promise myself to sleep at 10pm tonight! These two days I feel rather sleepy at work and this leads me to be prone to mistakes. Everytime a new colleague took over me I always make mistakes. Low concentration. And I have been 'immuned' to their rattles? I continued to do my stuff after that. I dislike rattlings and each time I am faced with it I feel demoralised. Is there any job that suits me who is always prone to mistakes? Afterall, desk-bound jobs don't suit me, even though I can stay right in front of the computer for hours. But at my desk, there is only a typewriter and checkwriter. They know me, Hi!, but I don't know them =( I love walking and moving around while at work. So I guess teaching is suitable because I get to move around!

Cat saw me yawning away with tears coming down my eyes. She laughed with me too because she said she is very sleepy as well seeing accounts everyday. HAHA!

I miss HS! She's down with illness. I hope she is back tomorrow so I can help her do stuff more.

A racing mind...

As I grew older, I began to tire alot when my mentality and mind is racing, having a marathon. I always tend to procrastinate and tell myself I needed a rest, stopping me from doing other things properly. I am beginning to detach myself from the rest of the world, living in my own world. Does that help? I don't do things that are on the trend right now. Why should I stop myself from doing the things I like and force myself to do things that I don't really fancy just to conform to other people? Well, that just some rant.

I really have many thoughts this week and I don't know why. Old people tend to reflect alot? Oh no, I'm getting old...

Family
Haven't been spending time with my Mum because when I'm out, she's in and when I'm in, she's out. My dad, HAHA, I have been entertained and entertaining him these few days. I'm trying to accept the kind of way he is, because he is my father. Well, I am happy in the house. Nothing much to say. I hope I can spend more time at home. Okay, whatever you say, I'm a 宅女.

Friends
Different kinds of friends I met. Old friends, starting to drift apart though we have become closer. I feel a sense of weirdiness beneath me. Is it me who is like that? Or is it them who have changed? It's the kind of feeling I have because I seem to have different opinions compared to them. Different ideologies, different background, different aims, different priorities. Well, this is just a group of people. I am very fortunate to meet good souls around RSPHI.

It's so unlike me who spend time with friends til later than midnight during the class outing on Friday, even went to sing midnight k. But I think it was worth it because it's the first time I sang with them after knowing them since JC? Can really see the rah rah side of them... It was this time my mind start to race. Worrying that my parents will tick me off for coming back so late. In the past I used to love to spend time with friends and have a wonderful 青春 teenage years. But now arh, I think I have more responsibilities and aims to achieve. That's why I said, both are so unlike me, growing up is a hassle especially entering another decade of life. 老了老了。。。
朋友们,说说看,我的实际年龄和真实年龄是什么样的差别呢?比较老,还是比较年轻?哈哈哈。。。

Relationships
Haha, that was close to friendship as what I have mentioned earlier on. It is not the right time to talk about it. I believe in fate, but at the same time, I choose not to believe in fate too! Such a dilemma. When it comes, it will come to me. I still prefering initiative people. Because in uni, I choose to follow. I am happy with what I have now =)

Responsibilities
I have officially signed the letter of agreement yesterday at 1pm. I kind of screw it up mostly due to the blur state I am in. I set a goal to achieve, I must read everything carefully. I am always complacent to browse through everything fast fast and neglect the important details. That's something I learnt after working with accountants. Then I mislead my father and ask him to write on the wrong line. But the officials are nice lah, they didn't reprimand me or anything. But I just feel very demoralised when I screw up something that is kinda important in my life. The process took just 5 minutes and my father specially took a cab down for it. HAHA!
I am ready for new challenges... that's my priority. Aiming to teach my student well so he gets his A for math.

Work
This week was rather fine because my boss suddenly was good to me. She can teach me something and at the same time sidetrack with me, asking what uni I am in, studies bla bla... And that day she suddenly tap on me and said: " 去拿水果吃!" I was doing debit posting all the while. In the beginning I was so blur but after that I am starting to get the hang of it. One more thing I felt a sense of achievement is that I help HS earlier on clearing the invoices. Total 8 boxes - out of which 7 was brought to warehouse. Then now I helped the AP side to clear more than 8 boxes too. They so happy that we cleared the top of the wardrobe. I met a good colleague Catherine, nice chatting with her all the time. Then I secretly did two things which I think I am not supposed to. I brought my tuition stuff there to do, Catherine saw it, she didn't say anything but still ask me more background about me. Secondly, I printed my results slip using their printer. Unluckily there were people printing 100 over pages and so I have to wait. Luckily Catherine's job was in front of me so she also helped me collect my results slip. Doing personal stuff at work. She gave me a cheeky smile :P

RSPHI
I am fortunate to be here. It allows me to realise my passion, strength and weakness. My passion in volunteering and helping others achieve greater heights, to be more appreciative in silence as a form of beauty. I am starting to detest noisy places. Yucks... My strengths, well not alot but I am surprised when Zhang Wei assigned a dual post for me as a Biz Mag for I hear you. I dislike it intially because I am not a business person. But after all that I have gone through, though I joined the Biz Mags late. We settled the WSC canvassing fair, help our centres and other centres do canvassing activities. Though I am just a small fry in the com, but I learnt alot from other biz mags. Slowly, I didn't know I can achieve the task and began to like it. Though there are alot of things I am blur about, I still manage to help the event get keychains for the prizes. Although there are certain misconceptions that took place, when I ask for 150 but they only gave me 50 keychains, and the times I am sick to handle this matter. Still, I got it successfully, though it comes abit late but it's a great sense of achievement. My weaknesses in being a leader, more of a talker and a slacker most of the time HAHA! I began to realise I cannot take stress and late nights, busy days. Else, I will fall sick. Actually more attributed to eating outside food all the time. My weakness in my health and concentration. However, I am still grateful to everybody who helped me and another, being understanding and all...

Let's talk about tuition, though attendance hasn't been really good. I am assigned to Sheryl for more than half a year. Though I really want to teach her but there isn't any content for me to try harder. Still disappointed over her grades but I hope I can really help her. I have been asking myself lately that, have I put in much effort on her? Partly, because I think I haven't been utilising enough of the sign language I learnt. But I am glad that her mother is still very supportive of me. I hope I can help her pull up all her grades. However, today due to some unforseen circumstances, I was assigned to teach Shuy Hui (okay, I have been calling her the 34 year old lady, I shall stop calling her this because none of the woodpeckers is telling me her name! Except for yesterday when our woodpeckers papa and mama finally tell me her name...) Ya... they told me she's quite serious and all, didn't dare to communicate with her. So I thought, I just covered for today and I just gave a shot. Luckily she took out her Math instead of Physics and started our tuition. Time really passes fast teaching her because she is quite serious and so I can teach her more stuff. Some of the questions are really very hard and A level style though it's an O level assessment book. Some of the stuff I have never learnt before, but just try to understand the book and digest the information. I can sign to her, but my signing is very bad. Spend most of the time writing but I still try to sign the short and easy phrases like "no need", "wrong", "different". She thank me alot yesterday, somehow wanting me to teach her again. But I think Benson should be back next Sat. A great challenge today!

I have signed up for all the activities planned by the committee, except for the whole of IGC. I hope to spend more time with them doing meaningful activities. Performing for Project ID, RSPHI day, and of course BS2. I am intending to quit work early to get some rest and some time for myself to catch up with things, rest and time for myself and my stuff. Holidays are always spent with RSPHI people, that's something I like and at least my long holidays are not so dull afterall. Yeepies!

Looking forward to them!
