Did relief teaching at CHIJ OLGC again on tue and wed.. Took a P5 class this time.. It's the exam period now, so all i had to do was to invigilate the exam and revise abit after their papers. It was interesting to observe how the kids took their exams.. Some were tense and remained stuck at one question for very long; some looked really calm as they breezed through the questions; others did not appear bothered abt the exam as they looked ard looking for inspiration. As i read through the English and Maths exam questions, i thought the standards now are much much higher compared to 10 years ago when i was in P5.. The answers cannot be found directly from the passage in the English comprehension; understanding, integration and thinking must be carried out to answer the qns now.. Much process skills, thinking and application are required for solving Maths problem sums now.. Nothing was too difficult 10 years ago.. So glad i'm old.. =X I think children today are having a harder time in school.. Poor thing.. haha.. Each relief teaching session is always an ego booster.. Cos in the eyes of little children, the most ordinary person in me can actually appear so perfect.. haha.. The girls would think that i'm smart, pretty, tall, thin, young, sweet, nice, and every other positive quality that they could come up with.. =p In the world of adults, who'll ever compliment you like that? haha.. Children are so innocently simple, cute and lovable... It's fun being with them! =) The girls said that i looked really fierce when they saw me for the first time.. See, i can actually be intimidating k.. hehe.. I'm not a sweet little tame girl that most ppl think i am.. Hmm actually, i just wanted to appear strict and fierce when i did exam invigilation at first so that none of them would dare to do anything mischievious.. hehe.. After the exam, i was still very nice and friendly to them and we had very interesting chats.. Anw, i'm just 10 years older than them, not that old.. I can still be their friend.. hehe.. A few girls drew pictures and cards, left their email addresses, etc for me on the 2nd day.. So sweet! =) Two days of relief teaching brought $130 extra income for me.. Yay! =) I'll be teaching again for 2 days next week, taking another P5 class.. Looking forward to more fun and more income.. Another happy event took place for me! I struck 4D on Wed.. 2308, starters, $250! I'm a happier person.. haha..
It really felt like many things had taken place since the past week.. Tuition, driving, PMS, nightmares, feeling moody, neglected and down, tests, projects, presentations, simon falling ill, his yps issue, cramps, etc etc.. I feel kind of overwhelmed!Nightmares:I had 2 continuous absurd nightmares on sat night! The 1st nightmare: i was doing relief teaching, a teacher asked me to get her LV bag from her car, a few girls followed me, a large truck appeared in the school carpark and ran over the girls, squashing them! The principal blamed me and said that i can forget abt going back to do relief teaching forever..The 2nd nightmare was equally ridiculous.. haha.. The setting was in my old house which i had moved out from for 4 years.. It was so weird that cyn, SJ and simon were having dinner with my family in my hse.. It was a vvvv long and detailed dream which i can still rem clearly, but the most significant part was that somehow, simon and i were no longer together, but SJ and him were a pair.. =p They were very sweet; i felt awkward and uncomfortable.. Anw, i tried very hard to wake up, but i couldn't.. When i finally woke up, i was crying my heart out.. =p I've been having many funny nightmares lately.. and i rem most of them.. Anyone can explain what my dreams mean?Friends:hehe.. When my MSN name was "it's not so bad to be alone afterall", some of my frens were so concerned and started talking to me and told me i'm nv alone cos they'll be ard for me.. haha.. So sweet! =) I used that cos i was all alone during the weekend.. Nothing wrong with me.. =p but, it really made me happier to know that there are ppl who care abt me.. I smsed audrey cos i wanted to borrow a blazer from her on Sunday.. She said she altered her sleeves to a shorter length, but she could meet me to let me try after her work on Mon... She usually gotta do OT, but she planned to sneak out to meet me if i needed it.. So nice of her, made me smile when i was feeling down.. =) Having friends whom i know care lifts my spirits.. Thanks!Simon: Many things are cropping up for him too.. Falling ill.. i guess he's too busy with too many stuff and tired himself out.. and his yps issue bothering him.. I can't help much in that, but i'll be most willing to offer my listening ears, my strong wide shoulders and all my support.. hehe.. Hope he'll be all healthy and happy.. =)Myself: I'm still doing ok.. other than suffering from PMS, feeling neglected, getting promises broken, feeling confused with some driving stuff, getting scares from strange encounters, suffering from menstrual cramps, everything else is fine.. I hope things will get better.. =p
Anw, thanks YJ for still remembering me when u have gd job lobang.. So nice.. =) Yay! I went for a facial + a short body massage today! Felt so relaxed that i fell asleep during the session.. hehe.. but another $145 gone! Why do women spend so much money?
Been busy with lots of stuff all this while.. Kind of exhausted everyday.. =X Did rebonding at Jean Yip Majestic on 28/9.. $300 gone! Changed my fringe parting so that more hair loss from the old parting would be prevented.. i think i'm balding there liao.. haha.. Pretty satisfied with the result.. =) i wonder what others think.. hmm, did any of you realise i look like Angelica Li Xinjie or Victoria Beckham huh? hahahaha.. (dun vomit hor.. i didn't say that myself.. that's what other ppl like to tell me.. hahaha.. maybe they have stamps over their eyes lah..) Attended simon's pri sch fren's church wedding and wedding dinner at Hilton Hotel on 1/10.. Was supposed to help to give out door gifts at the church in the day and help with reception at the hotel at night.. but there wasn't very much to do in the end.. =p Felt a lil dumb at the end of the dinner cos i was sitting alone at a table for 10 for longer than i was comfortable with.. =( cos something cropped up with one of simon's frens.. Sometimes, i really wonder if i'm reasonable enough.. though i always feel i'm just asking for the bare minimum that i deserve.. Isn't it? =X On the whole, it was kind of nice to attend the wedding with his pals.. Great interesting ppl, beautiful bride, sexy pretty babe to be seen.. 
I think i look terrible in this pic.. wanted to crop myself away, but what's the purpose of posting the pic without me in it right? =pAnw, i kept thinking that their wedding was much less than perfect.. it didn't make me feel like getting married.. haha.. hmm, i mean it wasn't the ideal wedding that i have in mind for myself.. =p many things were not well-planned, even till the night before.. the plans for the day, choice of location for the dinner, the atmosphere were less than ideal.. i think i should offer my services as a wedding planner leh.. haha.. cos i have lots of ideas.. though i think i have a phobia for marriage.. Busy with driving lessons, gym sessions, giving intensive tuition since it's the exam period now.. Busy with sch stuff too.. lots of projects, reports, surveys, presentations, etc.. Been doing work and sleeping at ard 3 -4 am everyday.. more tests and practicals are coming.. i guess i'll have to look like a panda forever.. =XHad steamboat at simon's place last night cos it was his mum's bday.. observed their mahjong session after dinner.. The ignorant me learnt abit of the basics lah.. Interesting to watch and learn, but it got kind of boring and tiring after 3 hours.. I guess playing would be a much greater joy that observing.. but i probably need a gd and super patient person to teach me.. haha..Looking forward to a relaxing facial soon.. =)
