On this very glorious Saturday night, I'm finally back on the internet. I seldom come online these days and its attributed to the discovery of channel 55 on starhub cable tv. Too many good drama serials for me to get all angsty, emo and happy about.
I am FINALLY a student. I can finally put like "stardeeing" as part of my msn nick. I'm finally studying hehe. I'm taking up journalism and advertising this semester. And I'm now like damn obsessed with newspaper articles and any kind of advertisements on tv, radio or posters. Lots of pretty girls in my course bt no cutey cute guys sadly. Where have all the men gone??? So being the mass comm student that I am, I must comment that there is just too much a major hoo haa on the Zoe Tay Immedeen ad. So what if she swallows? I mean she's 38, married with a kid. Not some 18 yr old virginal looking woman. I think sometimes we have nothing to comment abt and just love creating a mountain out of a molehill. I guess if this ad is shown in the USA, no one wld care seriously. I wonder if too much censorship in our country is really a good thing. I can't understand why some movies like Kill Bill are R21? I've watched the dvd myself and I bet the movie version censored a good many parts man. If given the chance I wouldn't want to live in Spore. It's just too stressful with too many rules. Aussie mite be a good place to retreat to. My bro just told me last week that I should make myself useful and get myself married off. Maybe a Down Under man ain such a bad idea after all.
If you are bored with reading so much, I promise photos for my next entry since I've gotten most of my photos from my friends already. Photo whoring workth good like medicine hur. I think I am beginning to love and absolutely adore English tuition with my 16 yr old Korean student. Not only is he cute and handsome, he is darn funny too. And I think teaching tuition ain tt hard after all. And after all the prior fears that belied my cool exterior during my first lesson, I'm really comfortable with teaching now. My student is really full of moolah. How does anyone have an entire wall for a tv I dun understand. The view of Orchard rd at night from the condo is lovely too. I liken his housing conditions and location to living in 6th avenue in Spore.
Oh yes I dunno if its the coming of age factor but I simply abhor smelly, noisy sec school kids.. Have I really gone off the era, I have no idea. I just hope I din smell so bad when I was in sec school. I give tuition at an unearthly time where oversea schools and sec school kids kinda come home and take the same bus that I board to Orchard Rd. Oh how I wish the heavens opened and swallowed me up then as I struggled to breathe fresh air from my stench-worthy condition.
For like 4 mths this yr, I got myself perpetually depressed over an issue in my life and got everyone around me pretty screwed up. But gosh I'm like finally over the issue and I'm back to being funny and sometimes quite mad. Hehe. Like jogging at 12pm in the afternoon. After 3km of jogging by the roadside and filling my lungs with carbon monoxide, I then realise how vomit-y I felt haha.. I think I should just stick to jogging at night when I don't have class.
Alrite I think I beta end this long, draggy post and show some pictures the nx time round. Blog's gotten a little bland without those visuals. =)
I really love my life right now. Precious, treasured and so hopeful for my future. Woohoo..

It's only been
15 days when I thought I declared myself to be a recluse at home where I can just relax and just watch korean and taiwan dvds and clean my room and I thought I would be very dull and nt very rich since I don't realli work now. But NO! God surely has other plans for my life. Now I'm just really busy EVERY other day of my life. I'm a tutor for this Korean boy now. It's good money, good location and really nice family. I'm still working as a permanently partime at Spore pools and I seriously think I'm earning more than before yet I have more free time. This is so cool.
Been meeting up with lovelys that I missed. No matter how busy I am or for how short.. I think quality time is essential. I just think God is doing such a good work in my life right now. I feel so much happier than I have before and realised to surrender everything in my life to Him is so much easier on me.
If there are times when I can't meet up with anyone as promised I really am apologetic for it because I do not know where this busyness is coming from but I'm really genuinely packed in schedule everyday. But its a good kind of busyness that I enjoy. I'm starting school next Tuesdays... How cool is tt? I really cannot wait anymore.. I want to start learning and feel excited abt school. I want to be a student again..
I might be shifting house like real soon out of beautiful Toa Payoh.. and I cannot comprehend how much I will miss my old house. But changes is good. Changes help me not to miss my mum everytime I turn and see something in the house that reminds me of her. I think in everyone there is a season to move on.. and I'm quite ready for this season of knowing new people, new places, unfamiliar territory but to just go ahead and know that wherever I'm placed its for a purpose.. a good thing.. and so far where I have been placed, I haven regretted them. Because good friends came into my life and continued staying in here till now and hasn't stopped being a pillar of strength to the trials I have gone through recently.
I really love my life right now. No office politics. And the feeling of just living one day at a time, knowing that I am loved by God and just enjoying the friendships I'm given everyday of my life.
I am content.

There is this madness when at 2am in the morning I am still grooving to Nelly Furtado's Maneater... "she's a maneater, make you work hard.. make you spend hard..make you want more.. all for love" hehe.. Love the song to shigglemajigs..
The key word in my life now is F.R.E.E.D.O.M... I have nv felt more free in my life.. no need to wake up at 7.30am in the mornings and crawl to work. I feel young agn!! No more colleagues' family problems, no more office clothes.. and then I think the years just fell away and I'm 20 again. I think working too long in the outside world makes me feel 40 when I actually have a 20 yr old body.
Been busy with ALOT of birthdays and dinners and so on. A truckload of pee-tures man but haven gotten the time to get it from friends. Currently on my endless viewing of taiwan, korean, jap dramas.. to no end will I attempt to stop.. I can watch it from morning to nite.. if I have my Peach flavoured Ribena by my side.. Sang a hell load of ktv in one mth of which I still love Jay Chou's hei se mao yi.. so easy to sing on ktv.. makes my voice seem so nice hehehehe..
Packed my jc notes this afternoon.. and threw away ALL my notes to my very deepest sorrow.. You know how it is when you feel attached to those Econs, Lit and History notes(in my case) with the comments and marks written on it and when it had your sweat, tears, effort and sometimes even blood on it hehehe.. but then agn I'm starting school and need to prepare for more space.. And I kinda din realli love my STUDYING part of the JC years except the friendships and crap made during those times hehe.. oh man I feel grown up suddenly...
Sifted through old christmas, birthday and some thoughtful cards given to me by friends... 2004, 2005.. has it realli been that long? Loved what they said coz I realised how much I've changed.. won't say it's exactly for the better but it helps me find a foothold in the present world whereby I can start to be myself and let go in front of my friends and just be who I was before.. I think I was a whole lot happier last yr than this yr and I simply cannot fathom why. hehe.. but I'm glad for sweet memories between friends which got written down in words or I would not even have remembered them. One church friend wrote me a card during my 19th birthday telling me how grateful she was that I was there for her during the A lvls result day.. and I simply CANNOT remember being there for her at all.. but I'm glad for the footprints I left in ppls' hearts to show tt the little acts I've done mean something to them.
On a lighter note, I bought myself a new hp... Nokia 6280.. no matter how bulky ppl complain it is I still love it.. Bot the orange coloured one.. My orange gadget... 2mg camera, video, expandable memory space, 3G, mp3 enabled, usb cable provided, radio.. it has everything I want for a phone... Haven read the instruction manual though.. hehehe.. call me bo chap or lazy or whatever..
I'm gonna be a driver soon.... Registered online with SSDC for my basic theory.. no matter how basic this sounds... its still a stepping stone to being an EXCELLENT lady driver. For now I'm waiting for my brother's car to appear before my eyes before having the determination to strive for practical lessons. Speaking of lessons.. thy school is only starting on August 22nd.. I am devastated beyond words.. because I have NOTHING to do except tv and springclean.. hehe..
For now it's more lunches, dinners, shopping and tomorrow some free spa-ing... woohoo.. WHOOPIE.. hehe....
In the words of Macdonald's.... "I'M LOVING IT!"
