My stint at the childcare centre ends... I'm not going to state names here...
One thing for sure, I'm going to miss all the children, from toddlers to K2.. Even the staff there.. my journey of ups and downs, all the tears and laughter i have shared with them, the hugs they willingly give me, their smiles, their individual personalities and our unique ways of connecting with the children, especially the multiple nationalities child, the pose of praying while sleeping, the two dimples child, the more active ones in N2, the three brothers.. the most active toddler... and 2 brothers who fell asleep inmediately after lying on the mattress. and his usual sleeping pose of lying on your back cross-legged. the older brother.
I find that interesting things happen in a childcare centre everyday. Usually, its the children who entertain us, not the opposite. I find the staff being soo busy until they go down with flu, coughs, fever and other illnesses. (Believe me, i know, since i have been there and done that.) I gotta applaud to them. Not only that, they had to deal with upcoming events, held especially at the end of the year. but they thrived on to finish all. Their passion for kids is their drive to go to work everyday. Kudos to them.
At the beginning of my stint, I remembered that i was exhausted. Ard 4 pm, i tried to keep awake. i did everything, from washing my face, to massaging my eyebrow area to keep awake. Alas, it was futile. So needless to say, during their tv sessions before coming home, i napped. I think the children knew that, because K2 kids were staring at me curiously. This went on and continued when Lily completed 4 days attachment. Ah... that was the best part during the attachment. At least i got a friend to chat with, and go to Causeway Point together. We normally chat about the center, the kids during the bus 695 journey. I remembered dragging our feet to Macdonalds, and eating dinner there. After that, we shopped. It strengthened our friendship more. The thought of us going to the library and going to class caused some really funny incidents. Incidents caused by fatigue. Only Allah and Lily know how they went. I would love for times like these to happen often. Unfortunately our schedules always crash.
2 bad things happened during my stint. First, the incident where a grp of naughty children secretly slipped an self explosive mini bag. We were just chatting and I falling asleep, until the bag exploded itself. A boy cried, and laughter were heard outside. All the teachers pitied the boy, coz he was sleeping at the window until he was given a rude shock. I wldn't be surprised that he develops a phobia. Both Lily and I were soooo angry at the pranksters. We closed all the windows, and somebosy said that it can happen again. True enuf, it did. This time round, the pranksters ran along the windows knocking. But they were caught by one of the staff.
Then I was tasked with conducting a storytelling session that didn't go well... I admit, the book I chose is an inappropriate book. I tried to make my voice and the tone authoritive, and I did manage to finetune on that. I did take over the class, and I gave them free expression session. Asking the children what they drew is 1 way to get closer to them We don't need to figure out what the drawings meant. We just asked them. Later, the teachers asked me to watch over their class for a moment, while they went to take water, go toilet, whatsoever. At the mid of second week, I became busy doing my learning center. The center that i chose is a Camping center. It took me time to do the campfire, the pond and the background.
Also, I toyed with many ideas to do for my lesson practicum. At first i wanted to do storytelling, then switched to art and craft, again with different ideas. I did the lesson plan last minute. Gosh.. I regretted that. How I wished that i conducted a lesson proper, but Nan proceeded to the learning center and i had to go with her. I think a kid was pissed off at me for leaving the lesson hanging in the air. Another kid that I really liked, sulked when he was not included in the lesson that I conducted. To him, I was showing favoritism. When actually I wasn't. The reason was that he was an active kid. Enuf said. They all brightened up when I bought metallic pencil cases for them. I bought 3 different kinds, and i wanted them to make choices.
Yesterday was the last day for me. I managed to keep my promise. Going all the way to Bugis to buy a royal cake chocolate truffle. Yum... I didn't know that going to Tampines was a better option than Bugis. I didn't know and I didn't ask the staff for info. It also happened that K2 graduation event was held on the same day. I get to eat Delicious banana muffin... yum... can't forget the taste. I brought out the cake last minute... they enjoyed it v much....
Yuppzz... that's it... ^^

in out, in out.... 15 Nov 06
Children. My motto for them: adorable devils. They are adorable, but some of them being devils, they can really stretch your limit. The smiles on their faces, their comments, and their sadness are all shared among us along the way. Gosh. Not to mention their endless complaints. Gosh. Should I say more? Maybe not.
Meanwhile, I’m 3 more days to Sat, the final day of my practicum. I will certainly miss all the staff, who are wonderful, who make my practicum stint much more livelier and interesting... To the class N2A, Inshirah’s class, who are quite mischievous and funny, I will never forget them. I will add more, but now, I gotta concentrate on the things to do for my practicum….

reflections... or rather, ramblings. 23 Oct 06
gosh... its been a while since i updated my blog here...
Tml is Syawal, the first day where we thriumph over the obstacles, and it also marked the end of the wonderful fasting month. hmm... i stayed up will 3.30 am in morning just to pray. I firmly believe that 3 - 4 am is the best hour of the night, where all your prayers will be answered. Whats more during the fasting month... ^^
Come to think of it, there is still 1 month more before my cert course officially ends. All those people whom i got close to, the rides home (its free... wakaka... ^^) , the ongoing lessons where we have to read the contents out aloud, birthday parties, the chipping in of $$ for birthday presents or the makan sessions.. whatever we took for granted will finally end. The first class that nan got close to us.. the joys and laughter. School time is the best, no matter whether it is full-time or part-time. yea.. Now I am looking forward to our Hari Raya gatherings. We have not planned any yet, but i'm sure they will do sumthing about it.
And at the snap of a finger, 2006 will end. It is a good year for us.
I am looking forward to the Dec. I desperately want to go on a holiday. If i got a friend, I grab tt person and go jalan2. Working with little breaks in between makes my soul heavy with the burden. What burden? burden = working. lol.
I still haven't fulfilled my other desire. Going to Korea. Seriously, I mean it. If i have a chance to go and study there, i will grab the chance.
Learning Korean language; been there and done that.
Planning to go to Korea on Dec 2007. Must start planning how to save...

went to changi airport to meet LUG in person!! 12 Sept 06
Yesterday was the most memorable.
Last night I went to Changi Airport to see off LUG. I went there early, and went into Mini Toons to buy a gift card.
I bought it, and went to Polar Cakes to eat my dinner. (Consisted of 2 black pepper croissants, and grass jelly soy drink.) Basically I spent the remaining of my $$ at that moment.)
I sat down, and a feeling of Déjà vu overwhelmed me. I felt as if I had been there. Flashes of my dream crossed my mind. Then I realized that I had dreamed of this before. Louisa had phoned me before and asked me to watch out for LUG. I spent the time waiting and drafting a short inspiring letter to LUG. She thought that I would wait for Shinhwa only, while she intended to wait for their guest performer LUG. They arrived at the departure hall around 7 plus… They told me that they bought necklaces for everyone except for Ugi, and Louisa bought him a bracelet instead. Me? Having made a mistake on the gift card, Louisa’s sister gave me a postcard for me to write instead.
Frankly speaking, I rather wait for LUG, as the chances of meeting them are higher. We waited for a while. Louisa and others had decided to wait and sing their songs, as it would attract their attention. They prepared the mini speaker, and attached their mp3 to it.
They played the songs, and practiced for a while. Louisa’s sister and her friend went to check whether LUG had arrived or not.
10 mins later, they phoned Louisa, telling her that LUG had arrived. The rest got excited.
I told myself, “ The drama begins…”
They ran over to the counters, where we bumped into the rest.
“They are coming! They are coming! We gotta wait here!!” they whispered.
Soon after, LUG appeared. Our group literally screamed. I got ready my camera and caught them on camera. All of us grabbed the chance to go up to them and present them their presents. Louisa gave Ugi his bracelet, and he accepted them with a grateful bow. She was happy and returned the bow.
I waited for him, and just stood him in front of him smiling, waiting for my turn. He was surprised and really happy to see me. He literally smiled and accepted my postcard, again ending his greeting with a more enthusiastic bow. But I just stood there with a shocked face, blinking twice. I never really expected him to bow to me, and looking at his reaction, my brain was unable to register for a few moments.
(I also felt my postcard was nothing compared to other gifts, as they bought each member a necklace, and Ugi, a bracelet. They were better compared to mine.)
I just stared at him, and he continued looking at me for a few minutes, trying to restrain his laughter. I came out of the daze and did a small bow. I imitated a camera, asking him if we could take a picture. He said something in Korean, and Louisa understood him. He turned to his manager, who was standing in front of us.
“I’m sorry, but he can’t” he spoke to us smilingly, and his hand gently nudged us away. I saw his face a bit red and I understood at that time that he saw the whole incident.
We got the message and I turned to Louisa, returning back to our spot.
“Huh? What did he say?” I asked her.
“He said that I can’t” she translated to me. She repeated a Korean word and translated it into English... I just went oh…
We waited at our spot and the rest returned to us. They tuned up the mobile loudspeaker, and went “da… da… da..” to the music. They played LUG’s songs, and began singing along. Me? I just swayed to the music but never sing along… haha.. I unfortunately don’t have their album so I don’t have the time to memorize the lyrics.
Other people came behind the barrier and took pictures of them. Excited screams rang out when one of the members glanced at us. (I’m not going to mention who screamed continuously here though.) They disappeared behind the pillar, and continued registering at the counter. The person, whom I gave the postcard to, glanced in our direction twice and I just continued shooting the video. His friends did the same.
Their cameraman took a video of us continuously… We just ignored him and continued singing. I also took a video of him... haha… It was a bad mistake here… The moment they turned towards us, my camera died on me.

BBq event on 30 Aug 06
Last night I went to sleep quite late.
Had a sudden meet up arrangement with my friend, Intan, and went to Bugis to shop for 2 birthday presents.
There’s a bbq event tml night, and today happens to be one of the girls’ birthday. Her name is Hajjar. The other girl is Helen, who organized the bbq party tomorrow night.
I am looking forward to the bbq event. It’s been a long time since I meet up with them. They are my good friends, even though it’s a long time since we had a gathering. (It’s like 2 or 3 times in a year?) I keep in touch with Intan, but we do go out occasionally. I have accepted the fact that u can’t expect everyone to stay and belong in a group. You got to move on.
Obstacles come and go, but still friendship ties are there. I hope I can reach there before the rest go home…
Anyway, I feel blessed for having the chance to meet them, my ITE friends, my FLTC friends. They are the best ppl u can eva haf.

Facing an eye surgery next month...
Yesterday was Decision Day. I made my decision for the doc to operate on my left eye cornea. (Cornea is the clear transparent window at the front of the eye, and allows light to enter the eye.)
Operation DAte: 27 June 2006.
Two years back, I had been wearing contact lenses, and due to their uncleanliness, my left eye contracted infection, and that caused my eye to be cloudy. ( In short, my pupil turned totally white.) I had to be warded for 4 days, and my eye healed by itself progressively.
8 months before, my doc suggested the option of surgery, at that time, my eye stopped healing. What remains now is a big white scar at my cornea, where I have partially clear vision, and everything I see is in double images. (Think as if like looking at an object, and there's a shadow behind.)
Last month, my doc asked me to decide with the surgery or not. But due to busy events going on, the matter was pushed aside. My intepretation of the doc's explanation is that the damaged area is at the surface area, and didn't go all the way thru the nerve of the eye. My case is like that, having the scar at the surface area only. Since I am also young, I should be able to recover quite quickly. (based on my healing process, I had recovered quite early.)
He stressed that IF the scar touches the nerve of the eye, he had to cut all the way and this is considered very risky. Even he is afraid of the rejection of the person.
I had a consultation yesterday. This time my mom was present. When I met the doc today, he was accompanied by the other doc, who examined my eye.
my doc, lets call him Dr. J.T. He asked me whether I agreed. I said ok. He proceeded to fill out the necessary forms.
J.T explained that in the WORST SENARIO, if my cornea falls apart, J.T gotta cut thru the whole cornea and replace the whole thingy with a donated cornea. (Let me stress on this, I heard this explanation for the FIRST TIME)
By then, my heart just dropped. I had a bad feeling about this. I could tell my mom got scared.
After that, I got ot do 2 more tests. First one is to take photographs of my eyes. and the second one; to take measurements.
Before I went in the room, my mom consulted with a nurse who accompanied J.T. she told my mom in more detail. It is a MAJOR OP and considered very risky.
After the 2 tests, a nurse consulted us and told us in details...
What we are scared the most is the rejection. It matters the most whether your body can accept the donated cornea layer. If there is any complications, you must report to us immediately. you think if there is any headache or sudden worsening of vision. Usually, the graft survival (donated cornea layer) depends heavily on the early detection of the graft rejection.
My enthusiasm dropped even further. Frankly speaking, I dun think I could handle any more shocks for the day.
Discouraging, yes, but 100% honest explanation. It mentally prepared me what's the future gonna be like.
My mom got sick. By then, she shivered due to the air-con.
I had to see another assistant to hear detailed explanation of the ESTIMATED costs...
By the time I finished, we ate dinner and went home.. My mom by then got full blown fever and had her deserved rest.
She didn't tell me that she got it in the morning. she kept quiet cox she wanted to accompany me.
Key issues here (mom's point of view):
1) the danger of rejection. Whether my body can accept the donated cornea layer or not. the constant fear of having a rejection for the rest of your life. and the case of full term medication.
2) the risks involved. the possibility of replacing the whole pupil DURING the surgery.
3) whether the person's donated cornea layer (he/she had passed away) agreed. I heard ghost stories here...
I am not inclined to disclose here...
4) the caution and the length of protection that I had to undertake after the surgery.
My point of view:
1) I am WIlling to do it. I am Aware of the risks involved.
2) the surgery represented a hope for me. I certainly dun want to spend my life looking at things now..
3) Why not? my eye had been like this already. It had reached the last stage of the healing process. Why not try another option??
Guys, I am trying to make a big decision here. Hope you can advise.... Thank u.

post b'day... saturday..
Sadly on the day itself, I didn't make any plans to go out or to hang out with friends..
I woke up to the sound of sms... Gary.
HE wrote the entire b'day song in a sms.. wishing me to be happy always and keep smiling!! They tot that I surely will go out.. but anyway, i didn't. Watched Tv the whole day, surfed the Internet the whole day, and just ate.
Frankly speaking, I wanted to go out and meet Gary, Millie, Helen, Intan, Hajjar, Hanrong, Helen, Steven and the rest of the whole gang. But they told me they were going over to a friend's house to do a hand-made photo album.. So, I resisted the urge to invite them out. After all, they had their own plans. I shldn't disturb them.
I missed seeing them... if my b'day was like a surprise like Hanrong's calling all the old friends and turning up unannounced, i will never forget it. But tooo bad.. it doesn't happen. Only in my dreams.
But anyway, Today I went to 4PM.. It was raining pretty heavily for a start. Thus, the rest was delayed. I was the first one to reach 4PM. Actually there were other people whom I didn't recognise in 4PM as well. I just sat in a classroom, and then proceeded to eat my lunch. Again had to eat the medicine. Yuck! Yuck!
Aden arrived and we exchanged greetings..
"Happy Birthday.. Belated." she mentioned.
Hashim arrived and the three of us, Me, Azahar and Hashim planned which content for each of us to teach. Haha.. I was the only one who wrote a lot of notes.. the rest didn't prepare anything.
The lesson started as usual.. and being the first time for physical activity, the response and the willing attitude to play was the highlight of the lesson.
Next, We held a surprise party for the mothers, since tml is a Mothers' day. We got the children to sing the mother's day song. The sight of the children running to their mothers and hugging them made me broke into a smile. You rarely see this kind of thing.
We sang the birthday song.. haha.. and Boy told the rest that we had a couple of birthdays.. yesterday and next sat..
I was like... who is that??
Boy pointed me and Mamat out.. and They sang the birthday song for both of us.. I felt a bit paiseh.. though.. again, this lifted my spirits even higher.
After eating the cakes, we proceeded to do the parent-child activity. Stringing beads together in sequence.
Had the usual singing part and had a v short debrief.
That's it..
Kak Saadah was surprised and noticed the change of hairstyle pretty quickly.
'Hey.. you changed your hairstlye.'
'Yup.. I look chubby right?' and pressed my cheeks.
'No lah.. it was cute..'
We straightaway went to Eunos CC for our LYF session.. Dropped by at the nearby hawker centre for lunch.. Me and Diana went ahead to prepare the classrooms, tidying up and whatsoever.
I woke up to the sound of sms... Gary.

Next, We held a surprise party for the mothers, since tml is a Mothers' day. We got the children to sing the mother's day song. The sight of the children running to their mothers and hugging them made me broke into a smile. You rarely see this kind of thing.
We sang the birthday song.. haha.. and Boy told the rest that we had a couple of birthdays.. yesterday and next sat..
I was like... who is that??
Boy pointed me and Mamat out.. and They sang the birthday song for both of us.. I felt a bit paiseh.. though.. again, this lifted my spirits even higher.
After eating the cakes, we proceeded to do the parent-child activity. Stringing beads together in sequence.
Had the usual singing part and had a v short debrief.
That's it..
Kak Saadah was surprised and noticed the change of hairstyle pretty quickly.
'Hey.. you changed your hairstlye.'
'Yup.. I look chubby right?' and pressed my cheeks.
'No lah.. it was cute..'
We straightaway went to Eunos CC for our LYF session.. Dropped by at the nearby hawker centre for lunch.. Me and Diana went ahead to prepare the classrooms, tidying up and whatsoever.
post b'day...
Saturday. The day after my 22nd b'day. Hmm.. the saying is right: the moment you pass 21, time flies very quickly.
Let me start on Thursday. Was stressed after work. Went to the post office to register an article. At Macpherson post office. Luckily I went off at 4.30.. it closes at 5...
Went straight to Bugis for class.. Come to think of it, was quite surprised all the buses arrived at the same time. Alighted from a bus, and then boarded another.
Arrived at Bugs ard 5... went ahead to window shop for a while and wanted to buy a cap to cover my new hairstyle. My new hairstyle? GOsh... it highlighted my slightly plump cheeks. I choose a Japanese hairstyle and the retouched the base with colour again.
Went to The Edge for my usual shopping trip. then headed to Seiyu...
Bored out of my wits, went to class. When I reached there, I tot class was cancelled. It was 6.30 when Inshirah came in.. Saying Happy Birthday before sitting down. Then people started rushing in.. Kak Tuty, having to bring a lot of things, the photocopied books and the usual course notes.
She was fed up carrying all the things and brought a pretty unique paper bag to my attention.
'nah.. this is for you.'
Inshirah was like Wat?? you got to give the present at the accurate time. But the paper bag stayed where it was.
We watched the video while waiting for the pizza from Canadian Pizzas to arrive. Haha.. my birthday dinner with the class.
Sadly, my migraine started again.. Took a cup of hot water and tried to swallow the while pill. Bad mistake. It dissolved the moment it mixed with the hot water.
Juliah asked Kak Tuty for the present.. and was totally shocked when she told her that it was already been given to me. Juliah took it back..
And I had to taste the ridiculously bitter and medicinal taste. YUCK!!
Inshirah asked me..' Are you sick?'
' Yup.. My head throbs...'
The pizza came.. and we immediately went for our break. Some of them prayed, while Kak Tuty and me cut the pizzas.
We straightaway ate them.. yummy! Then Juliah gave me the present.. I read the card.. my spirits just lifted up..
There's this effect of reading a b'day card... so nice of them!!
All of them were asking me to open up the present.. Kak Tuty asked me to just tear the wrapping paper away. When I finally revealed the present, it was Water Kenzo Perfume!!
I was just bowled away.. coz it neva occurred to me that they would buy this.
Frankly speaking, I had been using this pefume and still like the scent.. and what they gave me is a Bigger Version of the perfume... haha..
Anyway, Nan also gave me another present.. woah.. I opened it up.. another Perfume!! THis time around, it was a frutiy smell. I like!!
I continued eating.. Juliah suddenly pointed out that they haven't sung the birthday song.. Coz we were all soo busy eating the pizzas. They started singing the birthday song... and I just broke into a smile. the feeling is just pleasurable and unforgettable.
We resumed the lesson again... It was a wonderful b'day present for me...

continuation.....
After I came back home, I rested for a while. But my work is not done yet. I haf yet to prepare for the upcoming 3M session for tomorrow. After 20 mins of deserved rest, I began to search for that yellow file. I searched. and searched again.
Panic came in... I remembered I put it inside the black bag I was carrying at that time. I even called up Shafiq P, and he confirmed my memory.
~10 minutes later~
Darn it. Argh.. forget it. Might as well solve the problem facing me now. How to contribute?? What can I do now?
I looked at the purple notebook. I jotted down some notes during the observation lesson I attended with Diana. Ok. I just have to rewrite my notes. That's the best I could do. And I will do it tomorrow.
The next day, I woke up. Gosh... it's been a long time since I slept that late on a Sat morn. I must make more free time for me more often.
Did the usual routine things and focussed on my pending work. Since I am a Accountant... *ahem* I gotta prepare sum docs b4 putting all those cheques into the bank.. muahaha...
Then I focussed on 3M work. I wrote down all those points. Then I applied an idea which I had been playing around in my mind. Tips or different methods to teach Children maths.
Well, at least if Hashim and Azahar did use those points, then I got the tips to back up on. I have a hunch that it will happen.
I went to SQI, bac to my old office in NP. By the time I stepped in, Iris told me that those cheques were ready. I sat down, checked all those cheques, and prepared mine for banking. Woohooo.. they will process it by Tues...
Anyway, I went straight to Eunos CC, where we usually hold the 3M sessions, the parents and the children. I told Asryna that I might be coming late, coz I estimated I be leaving out of the office by 1 plus....
Again, I overestimated the journey time. By the time I took the bus 52 to CLementi MRT, it was pouring. I couldn't remember the journey. Blasting the music out loud, I read a book that I always brought with me. By the time i stepped my foot inside the room, it was exactly 2.30 pm. Gee.. Not late I guess. Just Punctual... duh..
All of us crowded together to discuss on what we wanted to touch on about. I spoke up, telling them that I misplaced my file, but I did make my own notes about it. What I really needed to do was to make sure that my own notes tallied with the rest. Diana looked through it, and pointed out they were the same.
THe lesson started, with Hashim going through the notes. As time passed, he went through the notes, and spoke about the key points. But they were written down in my own notes. So the moment they talked about it, I had no choice but to use other key points that they didn't use. In the end, ALL of them were used.
I had an uneasy feeling. To me, I wanted to contribute to the lesson. But I couldn't just repeat what they said earlier. So my hunch was correct. The only thing to do was to use my idea. When nearing the end of the lesson, I brought my tips along. Hashim knew what I wanted to do and suggested me to recap the whole lesson. Thanks to him, I did manage to do that. And I spoke about the tips.
Diana and HAshim had to go early, and did not attend the briefing. We finished the session as usual, and headed back to 4PM. I rested for a while and headed into the meeting room to post all those cheques. All those cheques were confidential. They present the financial status of SQI International Pte Ltd.
I wrote the trainers' addresses, before I heard peeps bellowing out..
'Debrief!! Debrief!!' Fadzly found me packing my things and knocked on the door, motioning me to hurry up.
I rushed into the Staff's room, and they were all sitting around. I leant against the table. Briefing started...
It was fun though, the briefing. There's lots of fun, and laughter. We zeroed in to the keypoints and made suggestions to improve the session.
We shared and read out the feedback forms from the parents. We received a lot of good feedbacks though, and Hashim's name was highlighted in some of the forms though, thus giving us the impression that he is a good trainer.
I agree with them. Hashim IS a good trainer, having all those experiences and ideas that he shared with the parents, had his own way to connect to the audience... but most of all, he is fluent in Malay. It is an asset for him coz me and Azahar couldn't speak Malay as well as him.
Of course the rest of us were highlighted as well. After all those feedback, Boy was interested in joining the next phrase.
I pointed out that if you want to teach the parents, then you must be fluent in Malay. Coz both me and Azahar did struggle to speak in malay.
Azahar feedback to them on what we did. But I haf to give credit to Azahar. His style of teaching is to use practical questions and from there he reinforced those keypoints. But I sincerely hope that all of us will do our part and prepare for the next session. Blow the parents away!!

Friday night.... 28/4/2006
wow... come to think of it, i had been busy doing several things at the same time.
Last friday is my night class exam. Certificate of Early Childhood Education. Exam of Module 2, Child development.
For your info, Nan, my lecturer for my class, helped us so much. She gave us the exact question papers and made time for us to run through the qns.
but then again, we cannot just memorise the answers. We need to read thru the course notes for further understanding.
I started revising for the exam about four weeks ago. Started by reading the information related to the questions. I always have 1.5 hours of journey time to kill before arriving at work in Aljunied, so I made sure i read the notes which I selected for my daily morning reading.
Frankly speaking, I wasn't sure whether my mind could absorb all those key points just by reading. During one of the weekends, I tested my knowledge by doing the questions. I realised that i couldn't answer the essay qns. I made a mind-mapping of the answers in colours. (haha.. when my classmates spotted it, they were seriously FREAKED out. They looked at it by the whole picture, and its kinda confusing for them. And they told me to put it away...) I just kept on laughing after seeing their reactions.. heehee.. so bad of me...
After that newly discovered flaw, i practised my answers repeatedly. With the answers and the question kept in view, I eventually saw the link between the answers and the questions. The more I practised writing for the questions, the more i saw and understood the link.
I tried to help out my classmates who tried their best to study for the exams. Expecially Lily. She was really stressed out on the day itself. She couldn't remember the answers for the questions, so I suggested to her that she practise the answers like me.
She replied back later that she still couldn't remember. I advised her to write the answers with the previous answers and the questions in view. TI told her what I discovered.
2 hours later, she STILL told me she hadn't got it. Then I told her that she need a break. She was too stressed!
During the exam, I could see her writing her draft answers. the moment she finished and left the exam room before me, i felt the satisfaction of helping her.
After the exam, me, Kak Tuty with her husband, Juliah, Kak Khatijah, Julita came to the hawker centre for the planned makan session.
We ordered some dishes.. mee goreng thai, mee siam goreng, murtabak, roti john cheese and mushroom. The roti john cheese and mushroom tasted surprisingly good. I never regretted eating it. We chatted a lot, about the future assignments >_____< and others. Finally we went home, with our stomachs full and wanting to rest.

a powerful discovery I made today....
A powerful discovery that I made today...
Last Wednesday I managed to talk to Sarah, one of my good friends and also my confidante.
We updated each other on our lives. She, married and recently gave birth to a princess, while I busied myself with work and part-time studying.
She was happy that I joined this childcare course. and I told her that its better I joined this course rather than I sit sround doing nothing.
"when i think it over I realized that God wanted me to join this course"
"Interesting Statement.. y do you say that?"
I told her the whole story then. she recommended me to read up on this book secrets of a loving r/s... it is a good read.
when I went over to bugis outlet, they unfortunately do not sell this book. The same goes for the Ngee Ann outlet.
in the end, I bought a book that caught my eye... ' Women who love too much' I read it during the journey home, and i was too engrossed in it.
Stories about women who had traumatised chilhoods on every situation, and every case is analysed.
When i read over this story about a lady who had to handle a divorce as a young age, it gripped and touched me at my heart because a similar situation happened to me.
I felt an urge to cry and my brain recalled the events that happened last year. Some of the factors are also due to my childhood, because it definitely contributed to the r/s.
the lady in the story also did what I did, and it hit me in the eye. I had to know myself better and my faults, so that I can be betta in another r/s.
as i read on, i became more determined to know myself more before hurting another person in my life. I must learn my faults and correct it before I get the same situation again.
my prayer; to know my weaknesses and change them into strengths.
Recently 3 guys almost called me everyday and to make me chitchat with them. their intention is to pyscho me into entering a r/s with them.
but I feel happy right now and dun wish and dun see the need to rush into another r/s. because for me, I rather be happy single than to handle a similar situation again.
I will talk to you again... but for now, let's be happy!!

Hida's chalet
On friday night, Hida's chalet was held at Chevron. I went back from the office around 6, and reached home at 7.30 pm. Not surprising though, cos my workplace is at aljunied. Hmmm....
So I reached there around 8 plus.. When I called Hida and went into the room, I found Hida, Yiwei, Mai, Yaya, Fanin, Rozi, Hariz watching the American Idol.
I gulped down coke, and finished off a few satay sticks and chicken wing. Som time later, others wandered off to the barbecue, remaining me, yaya, Hariz and two others which I forgot their name.
We chatted further to update each other about our lives. Yaya and her friend went home around 10 pm, and left me and Hariz.
We chatted some more, before Fanin went in to join us. I can't believe that Fanin forgot my name... haha..
The subject of exes came up. I was shocked when Fanin told his story to us.. Gosh..

Going over to SQII..
There have been a lot of events going on in SQI. A lot of stress, a lot of preparation for the upcoming big event.
My decision on going to SQII is based on a lot of factors. Factors that I won't indulge here.
Mr Sim gave me a second chance. A chance to build up my planning skills, project management, teamwork, and also better communication. He told me that he would send me to improve my speaking communication skills.
Frankly speaking, I told Mr Sim about the reasons that frustrates me so much.
He noticed that I am good in writing, but not speaking. That's the problem that I am facing. Thus I am also quiet when doing my work.. haha.. I like to focus on my work, so if there is any distractions, its difficult for me.
In SQI, there is no staff training. There is so much work load for all of us and there's no time for us to go for any one.
we have just reorganised, archived our overall filing system. Next, there should be inventory control.
I have to update the status of Membership cases and courses. Good or bad, I have to disclose them.

did Project at Inshirah hse..
For this week, i woke up early everyday, even for sunday. Pretty tired, but at least I got something to do, to focus my mind on this. Was planned earlier to go to Inshirah's house today, and I did. Brought the peaches and the required info on the peaches and supposedly blueberries.
Nearly got the blueberries in Cold Storage, but the attendant told me that the product was spoiled, thus the whole batch was rejected.
Replaced it with red grapes, and which reminds me, I need to buy more peaches and red grapes, preferably seedless ones.
We experimented the recipe, and it turned out to be a success. We also tried doing our yogurt drink, the normal yogurt plus sliced banana.
We dumped banana, yogurt and also ice plus iced water into the blender and rocked the kitchen down. Both recipes tasted fantastic, and we are soooo proud of ourselves.
The deadline will be this Thursday, so we got to have everything done by Wednesday.
The lesson plan will be discussed on Wed nite, and I will have to burn the midnight oil to type it. Meanwhile, Inshirah agreed to do the posters.
When we cleaned up the kitchen, I immediately left, and forgot about the notebooks I placed in the kitchen.. Hmm.. Typical of me.
Stayed in Northpoint to see any copies of Double Score drama series being sold. I especially wanted the copy with English Subtitles. But so far, I haven't got the copy yet.
How come so few titles only got English subtitles??!! Why not Double Score??
Wah!!!
Stayed around to play arcade as usual, but now, my interest will be playing the House of the Dead 4. Frankly speaking, I did play before, but when seeing the ugly, but to mention down right gross physical features of the enermies, I felt squeamish and couldn't focus.
But when I saw siblings playing with each other, they are soo good till a crowd gathered to watch the drama.
That's it for now..

The lesson plan will be discussed on Wed nite, and I will have to burn the midnight oil to type it. Meanwhile, Inshirah agreed to do the posters.
When we cleaned up the kitchen, I immediately left, and forgot about the notebooks I placed in the kitchen.. Hmm.. Typical of me.
Stayed in Northpoint to see any copies of Double Score drama series being sold. I especially wanted the copy with English Subtitles. But so far, I haven't got the copy yet.
How come so few titles only got English subtitles??!! Why not Double Score??
Wah!!!
Stayed around to play arcade as usual, but now, my interest will be playing the House of the Dead 4. Frankly speaking, I did play before, but when seeing the ugly, but to mention down right gross physical features of the enermies, I felt squeamish and couldn't focus.
But when I saw siblings playing with each other, they are soo good till a crowd gathered to watch the drama.
That's it for now..

Rediscovered my passion..
Today turned out to be a day with events of mixed reactions, both happy and sad.
Yesterday headed to the Clementi Polyclinic to treat my oil burn on my right arm. Waited till 2 hrs for my turn. Meanwhile, grabbed the chance to read my book and listening to my new found fave band of the moment: The Gospellers.
Gospellers are a band of Japanese veteran singers who lent their voices to a beautiful world of R&B and Soul. Actually, I wanted to buy Oshio's new album, but was taken aback when the staggering price of 72 bucks caught my eye at HMV Orchard.
Gospellers 10th Anniversary album then found its way into my hands, and I listened to it. The first accapella song got me hooked, and I debated for a few minutes.
Btw, found out that Oshio's album was Imported directly from Japan, thus the staggering price. But I surfed the net and found the same album selling at HALF of the price.. Needless to say, I bought it.
Highlighted my hair. Went into the salon ard 7pm.. and went out by 10 pm..
I was torn whether to take the blonde highlights or copper red highlights. When I heard the blonde ones will be washed out after 10 washes, I adruptly changed my mind.
The base colour is mahogany brown or sumting like that.. then the highlights are copper red. The intensity is brighter than I expected, though.
Okie, the story went for a detour for a while. Back to today..
Concentrated on doing the most major work. Then found some of the docs that I needed to find. Left office at sharply 1.05 pm.
Met Diana (RSP) at Hougang MRT Station... Btw, she is the latest member to be welcomed into the RSP family. and guess what? she happened to be my junior! She recognised me to be her senior when I was in NPCC.. but I actually dun recall at all.. Ironic, huh?
Went to Punggol CC first, and found ourselves in the wrong place for the 3M traning session. The place is supposed to be Punggol Park CC. We walked down the road, trying to figure out where is the place. Had the intention of not attending the class, but we reached it, and again, stepped into the wrong classroom.
We are supposed to attend the session for parents, but we ended up being surrounded by kids. Lovely kids, coming from all sizes, different background and different races.
My heart was stolen when I spotted this child, her facial features are totally chinese, and wearing a red cheongsam, fitted to her size. She didn't join the class, just running around but not creating noise.
There are some children who are totally lovely, and their radiant smiles just lifted my spirit, eased the 'burden' off my shoulders. This experience reinforces the fact that I'm in this early childcare industry for the long haul. I found what I really, realy liked. THe people connection, the trust you gain with the child.. it's fantastic!
Chatted, gushed and remembering all the moments that we spent with them... Kids, they are so innocent. HE made way the path for me.. I chose to be in this because I love kids, but also trust in His decision.
Looking forward to the day when I can finally go for teaching sessions.
Right now, for this week, gotta endure for a while because the schedule is tight... Juggling work and school, doing project and this 3M session. But I know I will finish all of these, and do all the things with the my effort.

Watching Double Score.. again and again..
To all the Chinese friends of mine, Happy Chinese new Year!
Well, what did I do to spend my time wasting all the wee hours of the hols?
To start, watching reruns of Double Score drama that I've taped and falling in love with Oshio Manabu again.
Hmm... Speaking of Oshio.. I surfed the net just now and found that there's news of him announcing to quit the showbiz industry and focussing on his music. It came as a huge surprise to me, cos he is incredibly talented and suaike when acting... (I like his cool demeanor..)
I read he could be quite roguish, but he is incredibly romantic and charming to all the ladies. He's been known to open doors for the ladies, make drinks and give spare blankets to his female co-stars. Hmm... I dun mid having a guy like that..
But since he announced that bad news, I've been trying to get his final drama or movie. Spotted his new album online.. Gotta head to HMV to get his album.. The only thing I could do is buy and hear his music, and watch his dramas.. Where to find??
Yesterday watched Sembilu 2005 and Paheli ( a Hindustan film)
Sembilu 2005 is a sad tale about 2 teenage lovers being forced to separate, due to their race and skin colour, but also to the school's and parents' objections. Here, Vince portrayed himself as a loverboy, having lost his friendship over a gurl.
Almost cried over the sad ending.
For Paheli, Shah Ruh Khan portrayed himself as 2 characters: one as a weak but obliging son who had to leave his newly wedded wife to expand the family business. Second is the passionate, and truly adores his 'wife'.
I find the ghost character as an entertaining person. Blindly in love with the wife, making her happy and cherishing her, but most of all, never fail to keep his promise.. Hmm.. ohlala!
Suria and Arts Central has truly entertained me..
In the morning, I tried to fry chicken.. but ended up getting my right arm burned by the hot oil. Naturally, if there are 2 big dots of oil landing on your arm, you will wipe them off at the back. I did that, and njured my skin. becum more worse.

graduation ceremony 2006.
today was graduation day for me.
I started the day with the usual routine of preparing for work. Since today I'm going to Sheraton Hotel, I might as well dress up. After much thinking, I decided to long striped pale pink mants, beige boatneck and my suit. I wld be heading to my Chairman's office by the way. I got up extra early for the certs to be signed. (there was last minute changes)
I reached Singapore Technologies Electronics Ltd at 8.20 am. Waited for the receptionist to arrive.
As soon as she did, she asked me to call Ms Lee Keng myself. I did, and got the signed certs immediately.
When I went out of the house, I only remembered that the most important thing to bring along is the certs. But, they are only secondary to the digital camera I borrowed from my uncle. So I had to detour back to my house to bring it. Funny I only tot of bringing the certs.
Had a scolding from my boss about this. But I dun care. If I dun bring the camera, then y I borrow from my uncle in the first place..?
Had a meeting about graduation, briefed everybody about their job roles, and did our best to cover the sudden hiccups. The moment I sat down at my workplace, I just kept working continuously. the only rest I had is when i went down to buy a drink.
After a morning of heated discussions, everyone of us pulling long face, angry with the person who caused it all. All of us faced obstacles one and another, and each of us had our ways of dealing with them.
Headed to Sheraton Towers Singapore at 4.30 pm. Stopped by at 6th Avenue to buy snacks.
When we came to Sheraton Towers Singapore, I was shocked that combined ballrooms 1 & 2 are soooo small!! The tables are cramped together!!
Frankly speaking, the first graduation event was at Orchard Hotel. It seemed to be bigger because the dining tables had sets of 10. Everything was laid out nicely. Everything was prepared. We just had to do our things.
But as I went on to do labeling, time passed quickly and soon, it was time the participants arrived. Then I rushed to do the work, and boss ordered us around. I was very tensed at that time, and ran in and out of the ballroom several times. Before the hall and the stage, there are dining tables. There are some hotel people standing around, all smartly dressed and ready for action. Most of the waiters are malay.
My colleague, Azean has a really sharp eye and caught me glancing at them.. (Didn't realize that I wasn't discreet.)
When I was helping a malay guy install the banner, or just holding one end of it, he started taping the top with a black scotch tape. I asked him. Why don't use the string? He replied there's nothing to tie to. So came along this person who asked the banner guy what is he doing. They exchanged a funnie conversation. He came nearer to the stage. I actually asked him to help me hold my end then i cabut..! haha.. naughty..
There's something about this guy. He is tall, fair, has coloured hair, and had a chinese look. He had small almond shaped eyes. He's mixed.
My colleague, Azean has a really sharp eye and caught me glancing at him.. (Didn't realize that I wasn't discreet.)
When he came in and out of the kitchen, doing his rounds as usual, he's the type who moves silently.
When dinner time came, I sat down with Azean to eat. Later I stopped midst to take pics. (Couldn't help myself.)
Went around the tables to take group pics of students. I received requests to email the pics.(but the preparation work is terrible.) Had the most fun mingling with CQM 9 intake class. The class was noisy, good rapport with the rest, lots of laughter and jokes around. They even teased me, giving me shock of my life. I became very close to them.. haha.. The second class would be CRE 15th Intake. Hmm.. the same as above..
I believed that having worked together as a team, overcoming some hiccups along the way, all bonded us closer. I think that working together helps us to find out our weakness and strengths.
I have really enjoyed myself. I even became siao, thanks to the infectious Azean. Joking and laughing with each other, teasing people. Making people happy, enjoying every moment of the night.
Gary (CRE 15) invited me along to go for a drink around Newton area with the rest of the class, but alas, I couldn't. How I wished I could, but had to stay back until the whole event ends.
Time ticked away.. When I went outside, there were two malay guys, one tall and the other short.. Again, the tall guy (this time different) hovered around the buffet set. Michael Pang went to the durian custard puff and ordered him to take away the whole set. Kumaran stayed back to chat with me. He told me that it is best to take away the food. But they won't be held responsible if anything happens to us.
Again, Azean's sharp eyesight caught my eyes wandering again. Hmm.. Indirectly I was having a ball of my time checking people out. Gosh.. it's really nice.. hehe.. But too bad I couldn't get to pose with all of them. only with the F&B manager, Mr Kumaran. I also dun have the guts to ask dem oso..
The people started packing up. Most of the chairs and stage are already cleared when I suddenly remembered about our bags. Ran to the stage and went to the right side of it. One of the guys came to me, and asked me what happened. I told him our bags are under the table.
He climbed up the stage.
I followed suit. There wasn't any stairs to help me, but I managed all the same.
He lifted the skirting of the table and true enough, all the bags are there.
He instructed one guy to bring the stairs over, while I was busy gathering all the bags together.
Spent some time taking pictures. The interiors are soo nice, its awesome!
The dining tables looked like sushi when viewed from a storey earlier. Took 2 pictures of those..
Rested at the bench while Azean smoked her cig.. and browsed through the pictures in the cameras. Her boyfriend called her, and they had their usual little quarrels.. the things couples do..
Iris went to Orchard Hotel to meet her boyfriend... I tot that she would be shacked, but was surprised she still had the energy to hang around.
Azean shared a cab with me.. It turned out the cab fee is 17 bucks.. muahaha.. boss tot that he could reduce cost.. skali tebalik..

Starting a new year. with WORKING Internet connection!
Woohoo!
Happy that this internet problem is solved.. all those late nights be gone, forever!
For the first time in 2006, this will be a great year!
New Year comes with new opportunities and challenges. For me, I'm just happy that I can do my research online at the comfort of my home.
Went down with a cough, fever, sore throat and also running nose recently. What to do? They came all in a package.
Right now my fave song currently is Jesnita, by Exists. Playing out loud in my room while outside rained heavily.
Other songs such as U raise me up by Westlife.. wow. Didn't guess before that they sung this inspirational song.. Last night MTV featured a series of Westlife music videos, new and old. I got to sing along with them despite my weak vocals... haha..
Yesterday met Intan. Millie told me she changed. That left me wondering, but only now I realised HOW much ytd. She sported a new look, much more feminine and prettier.
I wanna change myself. How? Let me figure that out..
Can't wait for tml. Tml will start volunteering at YMCA for these global exchange. South Korean students will be coming down to Singapore and we, volunteers at YMCA will be showing them around Singapore..
The walk will start around 2.30 pm.. Gotta rush down from work straight after 1pm.
As for 4PM, I will continue volunteering, but for now, I got 3 New Year Resolutions to keep and maintain them...
But I won't disclose them.. Ciao!
Aizz... Tried to concentrate on my assignment, but I can't. The medicine I took for running nose made me drowsy.. Darned it.
Got news from my friend that she's getting engaged. Been busy with the preparations and told me how it went. Hmm.. come to think about it, I was the only single person in my classroom. All my classmates either belong to the attached and engaged, engaged and going to marry, marry and starting a third member, or even married, having a third member, and entering a new phrase of life.
Confused? you decide for yourself.
as for me, I just wait for the right person to come into my life.
