call me miss lim

Was supposed to start my pa job today but other opportunities came knocking. It's funny how i cldnt find any job for the past month and yet i have 3 job offers just the previous wkend alone. Fate ba. Wldnt have mind starting on my pa job but having a chance to have short stint at teaching is hard to come by. Having that in mind and the distance n all, i've eventually came to my conclusion.

TADAH! im doing relief teaching at esss which is within walking distance from my hse. =X It's bizarre why they employ me when they have so many other candidates to choose from, esp since it's the humans department im under n im not exactly super excellent in my geo/his/ss. =X

Reported work @7am, like freaking 7am. My slping pattern took a 180 degrees turn. Had flag raising @725, which was super duper nostalgic. Hah. N i have this dilemma, whether to address other tchers as ms/mrs/mdm/mr wat, or simply call their first name. Weird much. N my timetable kinda suck cos i only have 1 period lsn for the ENTIRE day, for monday that is. So bored of doing nth! No marking/no need to plan lsn/ no laptop to use. Super tempted to sneak home but the sch gates r LOCKED till official dismissal time. HA! So secondary sch.

Anw food is so CHEAP! compared to outside or even jc food. Cheap thrill. LOL! But emo thing is somehow they only employ 1 relief tcher, which is me, n im stranded/ seated with some old tchers who are not so into making new frens. =/ N all the new nie tchers i haven got a chance to meet them. So equals to no frens, unless u want to count the tchers that im tagged to. This particular his tcher is quite nice, foresee that we'll be able to have some small chats in future.

Attended their assembly today cos i didnt have anything to do, n i feel like a student all over again. This tcher sitting beside me was dozing off. =X Oh ya, n got students greet me along the way when i walked to the hall. So happy. hahaha. N then this grp of boys were playing a fool, standing in front of me, while walking the hall so i gave them a stare n they kept quiet! lol.

Kind of not used to the classrooms arrangements yet though. Need to learn to use my diaphragm to project my voice. lol! Cos usually in jc only first 3 rows occupied dun even nid to shout. So tiring to talk loudly. N i ate durian just now n am having a sore throat. =X Hopefully it's all sit-in-to-observe lsns this week.

Okay i nid to SLEEP! Nights

wedding bells

Attended my cousin's engagement sort-of-party today with bf. It's truly an eye opener for me cos i bet most ppl have nv witnessed how malay does it. Super different from chinese ones. Instead of the usual betrothal gifts of gold and jewelry that chinese give, the malays prepare, if i didnt rmb wrongly, 7 gifts for each other. Very practical gifts, like laptop, bag, chocolate, things like that... And it's like the groom came over to exchange the presents den zao alr. Each catering and entertaining their own guests at their respective house. =O

And apparently the bride cnt leave her room until the groom's side come and gone. Which means she've been trapped in her own room for hours. LOL! So desperate she opened her window n kop food from the buffet just outside her window. So unglam! hah!

Cant wait to attend their real wedding in 2 years time. haha. It'll be the first ever inter-racial wedding i've ever attended.

Pics up soon when my cousin uploaded them

msia truly asia

SATUDAY

Set off for our overseas trip @8am to the nearest island. Q-ed at this q without realising that only one of the two counters is available. Which means twice the time wasted cos other q-s have 2 counters stamping concurrently. But oh wells... N i find their officers super unhelpful, just refused to lend us his pens even for 1min. Tsk.

Finally cleared custom at like 11am. Super long compared to the other time we went. Had lunch at this newly opened 'the chicken shop', not the same as the one at downtown though, supposedly chicken rice malaysian style. It was alright la, not fantastic. Shopped ard city square n it was not as exciting as the previous time. Nothing much to buy so end up only buying clothes for baby fatty and spending the bulk of it on FOOD. Auntie anne is a MUS EAT when u go msia. It's like half price, so truly worth it! *smack lips*

Got kind of bored of city squ n so we took a cab ride to this new mall which bf's aunt said was quite near jb. But that was not too be, not sure if we got scammed or what. But the ride was so draggy, bumpy n super slp inducing. Took like almost 25 min just to get there. It's quite a nice place to shop, twice the size of vivo. Definitely will go there next time to top up all my cosmetics n stuff. Super worth it! =)

Cabbed back to jb to catch our movie after that. Watched green lantern n the ticket's n food r like dirt cheap. If not for the fact that we were really full, we've have bought popcorn, food n all to eat inside. =X But the movie experience isnt exactly a truly msian style since it's cathay jb. There have all the couple seats n stuff. Only difference is that the subtitles r in malay followed by chinese.

Main objective of our trip was to catch the ktm train to tj pgar so we chiong-ed to buy tickets after movies cos apparently u can only get tickets like an hr before the train departs. It's like super cheap compared to buying from singapore side. Just 3RM for 2 of us. =O But i guess that's the price it's worth since there's a chance that u wont get a seat n there's alot of baby cockroaches. EWW! This is so gonna be my first and last time taking the train. =X

Next hol trip shall be somewhere on a plane! save money save money save money...

Pics up soon. Damn lazy now =X

midwkkk

Went for a confirmation job interview today. Like confirmation?! Damn lame. He could have waited till first day of work before telling me all those stuff. Anyway my new workplace is kind of far, at town. But oh well, just chin cai ba. Just bear with it for 2 months den i'll be a student all over again. =)

Gonna start work at prudential on monday. Dont worry, Im not one of those at interchange forcing you to get a policy and stuff. Gonna be a PA and do all the rojak admin stuff. Sounds alright. Shall see how it goes. Can date me for dinner at town since it's so near. Heehee. Gg to just enjoy my remaining nanny days. Will miss little fatty so SO MUCH!

Anw met bf's lifesaving fren on the train today. Wanted to siam but apparently we were standing opposite each other n he took e initative to say hi to me. So right... im known as sw's gf. So upsetting. RAH!

Came home and brought little fatty downstairs for a walk at the market with my sis. She's like so fascinated with all the myraid of colours at the supermarket. After that she got so tired she fell aslp in my arms. lol! Anw fatty's a tv junkie. She loves to watch dong yi with me @7pm if she's not slping. =))

Anw some random woman just called my hse phone n ask me whether it's world of sports. Are you kidding me?! Jokes.

Till then. Bye! Gg to have a super eventful wkend this wk. Overseas on sat n my cousin's engagement on sun. =D

monday no-blues

Woken up by foreign voices outside my room this morning. And to handle such intrusion, i was trying to figure out who's voices those were, before i stepped out of my room. Somehow i couldnt match any faces. Like seriously, nv had this before.

So curiosity got the better of me n i opened my door and was greeted by a crowd. 3 pri sch kids, my aunt, my mum, my sis, my bro in law, my sis's mother-in-law. What a bustling day. Lol.

But super surprise to see my p2 niece n p3 p5 nephews. Haven seen like for like YEARS! i mean it. I've watched my p5 nephew, daryl, grew up when he was just a baby, when we were staying side by side. But bond stands to stray when i moved to my new place. The last time i saw meimei was when she was barely talking, still a shy gal in my aunt's lap. I used to feel really bad, neglecting them like that, not finding time to go to my aunt's place to play with them, not being there to grow up with them. So seeing them just here today kind of warms my heart. It was slightly awkward at first. That's for sure since it's been years since we met. But it's still heartwarming to know that they have some recollections of me in their memories. But kids these days sure are hard to handle. The attention they are craving, imagine 3 ppl starting 3 diff conversations with you, their energy, n their nonsense. Duncan ask me today, like with a sincere face, "y u so old alr still so short". I was like =O and then =/. Haha. He said it so innocently, u cant help but laugh. But fyi, im still taller than all 3 of them. But i foresee that they will sprout out and eventually outgrow me in just a few more years. Haha.

Happy day i guess. N you know what. They have fb n they use comp everyday. Kids these days... Tsk tsk. Anw was so engrossed interacting with them i forgot to take pics. AIYA!

me loves daddy

Had driving lesson today and aunty was late lor. Make me wait for so long... okay la. like 10 min. Lesson was quite smooth today. Kind of wont stall anymore. But will still have the fear of stalling in the middle of the road. lol. Hate the journey to and fro driving lessons, but love the speed. =P

Met bf after that n we went ion for lunch. Ate at the food court n guess who we met. Esther lai! N we get to sit right beside her cos that was the only empty table. Bf was damn nice to buy food for me before he bought his own. =) Super duper full after that we decided to walk off all the calories. So kept walking ard. Wasnt supposed to be on a shopping spree, but ended up buying a pair of indigo jeans from f21. =P It's like fate you know. When i see bottoms in waist 24 or shoes in size 34, i just need to buy it! The chances of finding them is so low. The other day i saw this pretty jeans in f21, hesistated for a wkend, went back the next wk n it was gone. So emo. Haha. So yup. Retail therapy. =X

Since it's fathers' day, both of us went home for dinner today. =D My dad is like a kid when he plays with fatty. Both of them speak gibberish language. LOL. I love my daddy, even though i dun say it upfront. =X

Happy Fathers' Day! *hugs*

Went to bf's hse this afternoon to use his internet and microsoft office. lol! Mac sucks cos my sis didnt download microsoft office which makes life very hard when i wanna do ppt/type stuff/edit my resume. And bf's been neglecting his comp cos he hardly uses it so i shall help him. =X Finished up my stuff and then we watched sourcecode online together. The usual flashback style, which makes you kind of confused at first and then the pieces start to fit the puzzle.

Rot around for a while and then we went out to have dinner and decided to catch x-men first class. Seriously dunno wat's wrong with the crowd. Bought tickets for FIRST ROW. Like freaking first row. This's like the 2nd time i sat first row in my entire life. Im still having neck aches, no joke. LOL! So next time i shall stick to my principle, 3rd row onwards ONLY! The movie's alright, not that into xmen anyway.

Anw met greg, my bro in law, downstairs at e lift when bf send me home, while we were halfway thrgh a conversation with bf. Awkward for a moment. Lol.

Homely sat. Love to rot at home. =X

hired! for a day.

Slept at like 3+am the previous night but was woken up by my fren at 9+am. Serious insufficient amt of sleep considering the fact that i usu sleep more than 10 hours of sleep these days. The piggyness in me. =X Apparently she has this super urgent assignment which she needs to close so being super nice and bored of staying at home, i've decided to help her. Fatty was having her bath just before i left house n i suddenly had this surge of emotions that of a working mum. =X Like cant bear to leave the hse and put her at home. I think im getting mad. ha!

So there starts my day as a receptionist @deutsche bank. Being a super duper road idiot, this place is quite easy to find. Didnt have to struggle nor take a cab like i usually would. Haha. Anw it's also the first time tat being a receptionist doesnt mean situated right at the door. Reached the place and met the lady that was supposed to help me out and brief me, i was flabbergasted! Like seriously. Not trying to be judgmental, but she looks like a pantry aunty, and answer calls with what i would think less than qualified telephone manners for a foreign bank. =O So started the job with her passing me this freaking file and she ask me to read through all the names and sectors in it to familiarise myself with all the people and departments. Which i find rather useless at the end of the day since they have this global directory which is so much faster. Hah. Anw i srsly hate callers from this particular country that starts with 'i'. Tried my untmost effort but still cant comprehend the content at all. Totally feel like killing the person. =X And there's sometimes yaya callers who's like super anal but also nice angmoh's calling with nice accent. =XX

Wanted to meet gk for lunch but that woman nv see her phone early enough. Anw went to lau par sat to tabao lunch. All the q's were so long it totally turns off my appetite. Brought food back to the office to eat n the pantry's super pretty. Looks like a modern kitchen. N u can definitely see the difference in lifestyles between the expats n locals. Went pantry to get water at 6pm n saw all the angmohs drinking red wine. Walked back to my seat n saw all the locals slogging away.

Bf came to pick me up after i finished work. =) So blissful. =X We walked ard, eventually turned up at clarke quay n he had this random idea to go clubbing. lol. Too bad/good thing he was wearing slippers. Took a bus and head to bugis after that, walked somemore n had dinner together before heading home early today cos we're both dead beat. =X

Internet is officially down. Currently tapping on this fellow's unlocked connection. =x but he/she's only on comp from 8pm to 11pm everyday. =( feel so unconnected to the world. Lol.

Busy Sunday

Went to town with bf today n caught super8. Initial plan was to watch xmen but e tickets were selling out so fast there's only separate seats left. Madness. Didn't exactly knew what super8 was about. Watched it purely cos it was directed by e director of fringe which was super nice. Anw super8 is a kind of cam I found out. E film is quite cute, innocent kids with dreams. :))

Bf was super nice today cos he helped me to lug home my new pillow n bolster before he booked in today. =p

Met ced n wen for supper after my dad sent bf home. Just spent our time chatting and playing cards. Simple bliss in life. :)) n it's nice to figure out a new game together. Played saboteur n it's actually quite fun after we got e hang of it. So now there's one more new card game to playbesides monopoly deal n cluedo. :p

Super eventful sat

Shared a flea booth with my workfren @scape today but the weather was such a bitch. Started pouring real heavily like ah hour before I left house. Would have welcomed the heavy downpour any other time, but not when I have a truckload of clothes to lug to town. Plus bf had to attend his ex tcher's wedding so no free collie to help me carry. n all my guy frens just had to be busy all on e same day =( but somehow I did manage to lug everything by myself, albeit looking like a mad woman who's gg to pao lv. Lol! Business wasnt that good at first but started to pick up slightly. At least managed to cover rental fee. =x anyway I concluded that it's SO MUCH easier to buy than sell so maybe I should just do that next time. Hah.

Rushed home after that with bf to attend a fathers' day dinner at dmss with my parents sis sis's bf n ask gel n sheena along. Food was so so. N alot uncles n aunties were damn high at e dinner. So =O must be e alcohol... it ended at like 11+ then we hanged ard for a while before heading home cos somebody needs to go home study. Haha

Pics up soon. Abit lazy to upload now

/Edited

pics up!

Went driving today n drove to gear4.

I'm a happy gal. =p

Parking next lesson pls =X

Bf picked me up after lsn n we went n caught something borrowed. Quite nice, super credible n realistic plot. Saw somewhere that it was rated 4.5 stars. =O personally I'll give 3 stars ba.

midweek

Woke up super early today for driving and heed wen's advice to take bus instead. It's really much faster but it means i cant stop by to withdraw money if i go by bus. Anw reached like really early but didnt see driving aunty in sight. So i decided to call her and i found out i mixed up my wed's and fri's lsn timing. Oh man! just kill me pls. Good thing i had other plans if not i would be damn pissed by myself. lol.

So went tamp to return my books and see doc on my way home. And to think i met my sis's bf at the polyclinic. Damn qiao. Not to worry my disease is not contagious, just some usual allergic reactions but need to get some tablets to ease the itch n to slp in peace. Anw one of the pharmacists there is quite shuai. =X

Went tamp1,cs n tm to walk ard n shop for my uncle's present. Headache. So hard to decide what to get. Finally gao dim everything n den head home.

What a day.

random musing

brought baby kiki down for a walk with me just now in the afternoon to get some bbt today n got alot of stares. Bbt aunty was like asking me whose baby she was. Maybe i shld have said it's mine n see wat kind of reaction i'll get. lol!

june baby

Was deciding between hangover2 and x-men and eventually ended up with hangover2 cos there were less ppl. Maybe cos it's rated m18. Super shocked when we reached shaw cos we were greeted by crowds n crowds of ppl. The q was ike beyond popeyes alr. =O Did managed to get tickets anyway. But headed home first before e movie n end up we were both late. =X

The movie is well... kinda crude. Funny in some parts but overall abit vulgar. HAH. Wont exactly recommend. =X

Bf went off to book in straight after tat while i met the ced joel wen to celebrate wen's bday together. Instead of the usual prata meetup we decided to go atas n chilled at tamp1 tcc-opens 2hr. =O

So we chilled, talked, play games, eat till like almost 2am and walked home together. Good thing that we stays so close to one another. =))

Happy bday wen!

Happy 3rd month baby fatty!

when i thght things have turned ard, e past came back haunting.

some things nv change.

like how u make my heart sink.

TGIF!

TGIF! even though it doesnt make any difference to me since everyday is like a friday. =X

Been staying at home and the only time i went out was for driving. The last driving lesson was super shitty. Too much things on my mind. I kept losing focus and just super out of sort even aunty noticed and say she want to scold me alr. =X But i guess things r seemingly back on the right path alr, next lsn shld be fine. =) Doing u-turn is quite thrilling! But got the fear that i might just stall e car in the middle of the roads. Hah.

Home with my mummy now. Even kiki is out to play. *pout* My parents are gg to msia over e wkends, without ME. EmoSSSS.. =(

And my bf ditching me this sat for his aunt. =( Oh well, just whining...

i shall go eat the yoghurt in the fridge now~
