happy leap year!

well it was just a normal friday.. with a particularly busy day at work. ever almost died zapping documents?! blehhh. and i got loads of papercuts -.-

otherwise, time after work was of cos great! :D

and this wk's main highlights were having lunch with yixi and dinner hotdate with rice :D yayy i love my friends!

i love the weekends!!!! :)

i fell sick ytd! again. 2nd wk in a row. sigh. but im better now!

anw i went dramafeste ytd :)they were all not bad! and this time they had drama teachers to guide them.. lucky. i liked the apollo one! cos it was simple and nice. i teared watching it! hahaha :))

there were some good actors and actresses too! and i tink all the facs improved this yr. which is good! :D

thats abt all actually.. i hv to attend a wedding dinner today which is sian........ my bro suggested bringing psp.. thats nt v nice.. haha.

im hungry!

my laptop is emitting a VERY VERY weird smell. kinda like burning but not exactly. so im holding up a piece of paper in front of my face just in case anything happens. touch wood.

anw i went for my first tuition session today! as in teach chinese tuition to this p6 boy. he's very cute! haha. and it wasnt as bad as i thought.. i still rmb my chinese.. and gosh i made 80bucks just in 1.5hrs. wth!!! it makes my current job seem like exploitation.. or maybe im just overpaid.. but i feel kinda bad. after all, im only a O level cert holder so far :/ so i shall try my very very best to help this boy! and help him like chinese more :)

seriously, being a tutor is a much better job than an office job. maybe i shld take up more students.. teach math or sth.

its a very packed wk for me!!! ahhh. hotdate with rice on thu, dramafeste on fri, cousin's wedding on sat, family dinner on sun. which leaves no time for other stuff :((((( sadddddd. sigh. and i wanted to go scape for outdoor movie screening, or even the airshow!

gahh.

i tink that weird smell is kinda getting into my head. i feel like, whoozy.

wohhh. better off the mains :/
(which means i need a new laptop!!!)

ps: oh i tink i'll get a new phone with the money from temp tutoring job i earn :D N6500 slide here i come!!!

now i know whats fighting for your own happiness.

i hate it when people dont listen when i talk. or when others talk for that matter. and its worse when they ask why you're unhappy and they very apparently dont know whats wrong.

argh.

im on mc today! stupid throat and feverish feeling. and the stupid trip to the doctor cost my mum 36bucks. wth!!! i swear i would have braved the storm to go to school if i were still in school. sadly i dont feel as pia for work. haha. so i earn 48bucks less today, but i save on lunch and transport. but theres still net expenditure. haha.

ohwells gna bai nian tmr! :)

oh yea! i had a good vday :))) and im v proud to say my cheesecake making skill has improved vastly (by my own standards)! its a happy thing to see the look of satisfaction on other ppl's faces when they eat the things you cook/prepare. yay! and p.s. i love you is a meaningful show! but its sad/touching i kept crying and so were many other girls! :)

happy chinese new year!

wasnt that happy for me actually. i think the way i spent the first day of cny was qt meaningless. i spent the whole day at my grandpa's house, where everyone in the whole family gathers every year. i dont know why, but my mum just woke everyone up super early in the morning and we eventually reached kinda early. like, the first family there. stone. worst thing is there was no tv wth. so i played psp with my brother and stoned and tried nt to fall asleep. eventually other families came and the house got very crowded and re nao.

but i just found it so meaningless when i like, never ever talk to half of my cousins (thats abt 10 of them) ever. and er to be perfectly human, there are some people i dont exactly like in the extended family. so i just spent time with the cousins im closer to. which was a nice thing! but we only see each other like once or twice a year so there was some awkwardness in the beginning la. which got better. but we had nth to do except eat, talk, play cards, stone.

then theres the angbao giving thing. somehow, this year, i dont really care about how much im getting. in previous years i would and could rmb what each aunt/uncle gave but this year i really dont know except for like, 3 of the angbaos. seriously, i wouldnt mind not getting any angbaos if i could have a more meaningful and memorable new year with my relatives.

i think im losing interest in money. :O thats really weird. or maybe nt so bad la, but since ive started work and started to earn my own money and struggle (okay mayb nt.. just exaggerating) to make ends meet (transport is freaking expensive), i realise having happy times is more important. i'd rather be happy than rich anytime. blah. and these few days havent been the best days of my life. i feel like a freaking loser, inflicting unhappiness on others no matter how hard i try nt to. argh.

maybe my cny will be better when i have my own kids, and my extended family wont be as large or sth.

and i tink thats all the visiting im doing this yr (and mrs ang's house on 16th), unless i go to friends' houses.

no special feeling towards cny this yr. in fact i preferred the reunion dinner.

its sunday night! work again tmr :( (but its only a 2.5 day work week nxt wk :D)

this wkend has been very fufilling i think. had a good day out on saturday, and what was supposed to be an educational tour at an animal farm turned out to be a pigging tour at jalan kayu -.- haha but the tauhuay there is REALLY GOOD, and so was the roti prata :))

and i had some form of epiphany. which i think is very impt for these coming 2 months, so yay! :)

and i finally watched atonement! which was so tragic omg :( sharp contrast from the happy ending 27dresses which i watched! but it was an artsy film. which i think was kinda slow in the middle, but not bad overall :) and keira knightley is hot!

oh i rewrapped my dried (and once mouldy flowers i got on prom) and they look pretty decent! i must have a talent for flower wrapping... :D

and im nursing 2 painful and annoying pimples :(

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.


Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

its friday again! this week passed faster i think :) cos there were more happy moments and i dun feel so awkward ard my colleagues now.

lets see. nothing much happened this wk.. talked more with colleagues! which is a good thing. then found a fellow hk drama fan, a fellow spongebob fan, a shopping fan.. and alot of ppl were on leave this wk and i had to call ppl/ans phone calls. sth i really detest but i did it! and i kept walking btw the outram campus heart centre and my office, resulting in 2 beautiful blisters. :(

and i went out on 2 days aft work which is good! :) tho my colleague commented that its weird i nv go out on friday night (i.e. today) and that i looked very "dainty" today -.-

haha.

cny's coming! got my favourite reunion dinner.. got snacking period.. got angbao taking.. and got the a's results coming up :S that i had a scary feeling dream abt it (no, not bad results but rather the nervousness)

tired!
