GOODWOOD, MARRIOT & PUNGGOL PARK

Last week was another busy week and weekend for me...

PSLE marking was finally over!! my team marked a total of 800 plus 900 compo scripts over a total and 3.5 days.. the experience was a refreshing one.. though i almost dozed off in the afternoons, esp after a heavy lunch..

i met up wif dear dear on Friday, the last day of the PSLE marking, in town for some quality time together... we went Sakae Sushi for a well-deserved break... den we wanted to catch a show @ Lido, but there was no slot available.. so we walked around for a while den we left for home.. me to my home, him to his hostel cox poor dear needs to prepare for his exams... oh yes... i finally bought tickets to the 933 Hit Awards on 3rd Nov.. dear can't go.. so i'm gg wif my friend, Summer..

had a great rest on Fri night.. woke up in the late afternoon on Saturday, prepared and den headed down to Goodwood Park to attend Ashley's ROM Solemnization Ceremony.. it was a buffet dinner reception by the poolside, super romantic.. hehe.. really happy for her... i stayed till 7 plus before walking down to Marriot Hotel to attend the wedding dinner of my HOD's eldest son.. turned out that he and his wife are both lawyers.. hehe.. the whole ballroom was filled with 61 tables.. SUPER crowded... i sat with all the Chinese teachers, and it was a simple evening and another chance for the department tcrs to get together.. of cox, the topics of the night were mainly abt the PSLE marking and our internal sch SA2 compo papers.. haaa... wat a night..

after i reached home, i rested for a while before going out again.. this time was to Summer's bdae... she held her bdae celebration @ Punggol Park.. lots of friends turned up too.. we stayed there for a while before heading to her house... had a really great time! Happy 25th birthday to Summer! hehe........ it was a great bdae celebration!

Sunday night was spent alone, slept, woke up, ate, slept, woke up, ate.. ha.. cox dear was in hall.. normally we would either go out or i'll head over to his house to spend time with him and his family.. but for the next few weeks dear'll be in hall cox of exam preparations.. can't wait for his papers to end... den we'll be flying to HK liao!! YIPEEEEEEEZ!

hope to see our '53 yrs' mature.. ever stronger than before.. muackz dear dear...

STRESSED SHARON

did i mention that last Saturday was a stressful but happening day for me? (see blog below on the results of the competition.. thks to those who remembered it and smsed me for updates... hehe...)

Basically the whole afternoon was a tensed and nerve-wrecking one.. the kids were all hoping to hear their names being called out when the final results were announced.. ha... though only 2 made it, i'm sure this has been a really wonderful experience for them.. at least i hear them using the 60 provers which they have learnt in class.. and they are starting to influence the rest of their classmates in a positive manner too! well done my dear kids!

oh yes.. i signed up for Inline Skating class organised by the Parent Volunteers Association in my school.. haiz.. no choice.. have to support and give face.. jux hope i won fall flat on my face during those 3 training days.. having to pay $38 to learn how to fall.. haha.....

i'm lucky and fortunate to have a group of close friends who really care for me.. as much as i do for them too... but many a times, some problems do not cease to be there overnight. 3rd parties can do only so much, sometimes thru the process they might even worsen the situation accidentally.. for now, i jux hope to leave things as they are and not bother abt other things or even make things worse.. i'm sure i will get to see ' the ray of light' soon...

Last sunday was a 'rainy and lazy sunday'... slept, woke up, slept woke and slept again.. ate 'Tong Heng Eggtarts' too.. SUPER DUPER yummilicious... spoke to a friend who is retaking his O levels soon.. asked me for tips on Geography.. i couldnt remember much but i tried my best to help him.. ha.. hope he does well.. hehe......

this week is PSLE marking week.. posted to PCPS to do marking... so far, 2 days have passed and it has been good... the school is quite generous with staff welfare.. provided us with free-flow drinks, biscuits, curry puffs and nasi lemak... hehe.....

went KTV @ Bishan Sing Along Karaoke with friends last night too.. jux realised that one of my friends is 26 yrs, with a 6 yr baby in tow! omg.. but she has maintained her figure... still looks quite stunning.. hehe... sang lots of songs yest night.. hehe... some duets, some solos.. hehe... den another friend sent us home.. the car windows were down as my friend drove @ 100km/h... wooo.. my hair was flying flying flying loh.. though messy but i loved the way the cold air brushed against my face... sort of freshened me up...

had dinner @ Pow Sing jux now before gg to tuition.. tom meeting Judy for dinner cox we nid to discuss abt Ashley's solemnisation ceremony on Sat... my hod's son's dinner also this sat... den another friend also celebrating her bdae this sat night.. think i got to cut myself up into 3 pieces... haiz... but no matter what i gt prepare 3 gifts.. which makes me really really BROKE...

fri got tuition, den meeting my friend to go buy tickets to the 933 hit awards... too bad dear cannot go wif us cox of his exams..

jux paid my uob bill of $850...and my Isetan bill of $150... another $200 coming up for hp bills and internet... and several other miscellanous ones which i can't remember the amounts... omg...
mummy has jux declared that she is out of job, again. YES. she sacked her boss, again. a super 'leong' October for me i guess... S.T.R.E.S.S.E.D...

2 QUALIFIED FOR THE CHINESE WHIZKIDS SEMI FINALS!!!

Woohoo!! Last Sat was a 'si bei' exciting Saturday...

went to school early in the morning.. brought my 5 angels down to Tampines Regional Library at noon for the Quarter Finals of the Chinese Whizkids Proverbs Competition...

After a heated 3 hrs battle, 2 out of 5 of my kids made it to the next round - The SEMIFINALS!

they won for themselves $1000 cash prize EACH.. the rest of the kids went home with some $200 course voucher from Berries Learning Centre as well as a dining voucher from The Outbacks Restaurant... Sooo proud of them!!!

Cheers to Zhonghua team... and i look forward to the Semifinals held in December @ Medicorp ... News is that Guo Liang will be the host for the semifinals.. ha....

i jux hope that the dates won clash wif my HK trip ...

A DISAPPOINTING DAY

i nid to blog. and get it off my chest. or else i suspect i will be hyper-ventilating very soon.

had an absolutely disappointing day in school.

for some reasons, i din manage to get good sleep yesterday. perhaps tatz y i went to school feeling irritated.

to add on to it. my Primary 3s were the last period of the day. when i went in , they were v rowdy. so i punished them and got them to stand. den Ignatius, my noisy maker started his nonsense again.

i got soooo irritated tat i WALKED out of the class. to my office. (thinking back, it was really rash of me to do that... imagine the P happened to walk around and saw the class w/o a teacher... omg..)

den i finally walked back to class 10 mins before school ended. punished them and threatened to keep them till 5pm. den donnoe y my tears started to trickle down. tears of disappointment i think. tom's their compo paper liao and i wanted to revise with them. but they were sooo noisy that i could not stand it. SUPER pek chek with them.

den one by one they starting coming forward to apologise to me. i sort of cooled down but i din show it.. i finally dismissed them @ 1.05pm and brought them down to queue for their bus. In the end, 2 boys missed their bus, started crying.. luckily another bus driver saw them n sent them back...

when i walked back to the staff room, my loud-mouthed colleague was laughing *wickedly* again... over some silly joke.. wah lao.. all the more pek chek loh.. den i walked to toilet thinking of cooling myself down..

when i came back, one of my students' mother was waiting me outside the staff room. she den proceeded to nag and lecture me about letting my kids off late.. how she gt rush and prepare food for her daughter cox she nids to go for extra lessons like tuition etc..

in the midst of our conversation, i donnoe why i teared again. JUS couldn't take it liao loh. the parent nv scold me, jux feedback to me.. den when she saw me tear she also v scared .. cox she nv scold me but i still teared... in the end she left.. den i had to rush off for weekly Contact Time.. lagi worse... after CT still had to train my kids for the competition this Sat...

but after taking a few deep breathes, i'm fine liao. more or less i guess.

it's another eye-opening experience for me. i know what i should do liao, or rather, what i should not do.

off to tuition now. thks dear for tolerating the 'moudly wa'... muackz

<那女孩对我说>

歌手：黄义达
专辑：专属密码

心很空 天很大 云很重
我很孤单 却赶不走
捧着她的名字 她的喜怒哀乐
往前走 多久了
一个人心中 只有一个宝贝 久了之后她变成了眼泪
泪一滴在左手凝固成为寂寞 往回看有什么
那女孩对我说说我保护她的梦
说这个世界对她这样的不多
她渐渐忘了我但是她并不晓得
遍体鳞伤的我一天也没再爱过

那女孩对我说说我是一个小偷
偷她的回忆塞进我的脑海中
我不需要自由只想背着她的梦
一步步向前走她给的永远不重

一个人心中 只有一个宝贝 久了之后她变成了眼泪
泪一滴在左手凝固成为寂寞 往回看有什么
那女孩对我说说我保护她的梦
说这个世界对她这样的不多
她渐渐忘了我但是她并不晓得
遍体鳞伤的我一天也没再爱过

那女孩对我说说我是一个小偷
偷她的回忆塞进我的脑海中
我不需要自由只想背着她的梦
一步步向前走她给的永远不重

那女孩对我说保护她的梦
说这个世界对她这样的不多
她渐渐忘了我但是她并不晓得遍体鳞伤的我一天也没再爱过
那女孩对我说说我是一个小偷
偷她的回忆塞进我的脑海中
我不需要自由只想背着她的梦一步步向前走她给的永远不重

<只为了你醉>

歌手：杨千桦

专辑：我的醉爱(国语版)

寂寞最容易心醉 在这个闪烁世界

谁又不敢问谁心中想念著谁

只怕不小心 自己也猜不出而为一句安慰崩溃

有多少梦能完美 多少感受还能够再一如从前

我和你共拥有所得过的感觉 是一种醉的唯美

我为你醉 就为了你醉 有一种叫只承认执迷不悔

能走多 远就走多远 你让我忘了苦时间

我为你醉 只为了你醉 如果有天我们发现失去了这感觉

这可属於我们之间秘密花园不可言喻的了解

让我完毕爱情的愚昧不再醉

<下次不敢>

歌手：刘德华
专辑：《童梦奇缘》主题曲


绕一个圈 又过了一环
犯错以後才後悔会不会太晚
就算认错 就算你说
下一次我不敢

失去容易 啊回头真难
日子再坏也必须要走完
啊在生活中 每一个人
应该有对自己最诚实的那份勇敢

朋友啊 虽然哭泣常常让人太难堪
其实眼泪也有温暖
流过泪的你才能慢慢成长
有伤心才会懂得有心欢

啊抓紧时间把你感情的帐单
好好去认认真真一一的清还
为身边每个人 请不要再怠慢 让爱火一再点燃
从今我不想 再听你说
下一次我不敢

失去容易 啊回头真难
日子再坏也必须要走完
啊在生活中 每一个人
应该有对自己最诚实的那份勇敢

朋友啊 虽然哭泣常常让人太难堪
其实眼泪也有温暖
流过泪的你才能慢慢成长
有伤心才会懂得有心欢

啊抓紧时间把你感情的帐单
好好去认认真真一一的清还
为身边每个人 请不要再怠慢 让爱火一再点燃
从今我不想 再听你说
下一次我不敢

啊抓紧时间把你感情的帐单
好好去认认真真一一的清还
为身边每个人 请不要再怠慢 让爱火一再点燃
从今我不想 再听你说
下一次我不敢

CHILDRENS' DAY CELEBRATIONS

Today was Childrens' Day celebrations. I was the emcee for the event and the whole event went quite smoothly ... My dept's performance earned lots of applause and laughter from the kids as it was a rare chance for them to see their chinese teachers in action.. haaaaa...... no pics for this section as we were all busy on stage.. but i'll try to get the pics from my colleagues...

Besides our 'Shang Hai Tan' performance, there was also "Zhonghua Idol", a comical skit put up by several teachers... Vincent was 'Banana Man'.. Chui Hoon was "Miss Pinky", Lifang was "Lemon Tan" and Joe was 'Ma Tao Man'... SUPER hilarious!!!

after the concert performance, it was back to class for my P2s and P3s... did not manage to see my P4s today as their periods were used up for the concert.. so i gave them their Childrens' Day presents a day earlier... Lots of fun, lots of balloons... the Magician made several balloons for me... the kids got soooo envious... wished he had made more balloons so that i could give out to more children... i had a really great time... so enjoy the pictures!
