school's in

School has just started again and since Wednesday, my tonsils have been swollen to the size of golfballs. Not to mention the recurrent sparodic fevers that come with golfball tonsils. All this, served with a side of bloody mucus that hampers breathing. I call it Value Combo #1 at the House of Choong's. Speech is a problem, I sound like I'm trying to be Russian and drunk. Not to mention I've been a hell of a good girl so far.. Stayed away from anything cold, spicy, fried, or deep-fried. Putting limitations to my diet is a huge (!) compromise on my part.. and yet, i've been sick for 5 days and counting. Been to the western doctor and even the chinese doctor, downing evil concoctions that made my pee reek of it. Serious! So as my morale slipped and is continuing to slip, i told Bear that i'd gladly eat shit if it would miraculously cure me of all ailments. Help me.

..................

I came back on Tuesday night and til now, my suitcase is still open on the floor. Contents look ransacked, but still relatively untouched.

Btw, Swiss Air is good. I like...... The in-flight entertainment system was awesome. Maybe not, but its been ages that I've been on such an awesome nice plane. 

The trip was great, albeit short. I ate and shopped. Then i ate. Afterwhich i ate somemore. In those 4.5 days, the word 'hungry' was totally erased from my dictionary. Shiok. 

....................

Back to reality. Its hard to eat anything or have much of an appetite when u're stuch with ur serving of Value Combo #1.

Everyone is stronger than they know, they just forget to believe in it sometimes. 

People with the best intentions don't always set the best examples. I learnt this through often depressing situations in my family. My mum has been setting the best of examples for me in those aspects that really matter in life.

I think its been centuries since my last post. Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead. Holidays are finally here! Although........... leaving for Korea next monday, back on the 18th. Afterwhich that's like 1 more week before gotta go back to work.. Holidays are becoming like an urban legend.. Those who are not in the teaching profession, you guys wouldn't truly comprehend. All i can say is, teaching is a juggling act, and we dun get 1 month holidays like the students. PLS. Stop it already. If u think its such a pretty pretty job, welcome on board ok? The exits are to your front, right, and left and will be open 3 years later. We hope u have a pleasant journey.

Time to catch up with House. I love the sarcastic lame (literally) doctor! 

One more day to our 4th anniversary.. So very very excited. Hehe....

tired is...

me.

Unexpected event towards the end of the day.

I was touched, I teared. The kind of tears that I haven't shown in a long time. Simultaneously confused and dazed in a good/bad way. But it started a whole train of thought and the answer gets clearer and clearer as time passes.

Despite everything, I'm glad to finally be home.


Man Utd lost. With just barely 3 minutes to go. Ultra disappointed.

its ok....

Grey areas are like bomb shelters during a war. You sit a a dirty little corner, your hands wrapped around your shivering knees. Your hands - you know they're not going to protect you if a bomb does come your way. The bomb shelter is. The crust of the earth you're buried under is. Your hands, they just make you feel better, make you feel more protected.

And you believe that's all you've got - your hands and a loosely sheltered insecurity. You overlook the sturdiness of the shelter, the bruised soldier clutching tightly onto a gun, his eyes tightly transfixed onto the door.

But at the end of the day, you know that you're safe here. You know that by hiding here, you won't find yourself standing in the line of a crossfire. You know you wouldn't have to duck, or dodge. You know no one's going to be throwing a grenade at you. You know.

You know only because you believe. You believe only because you're sick and tired of being cynical. Because being cynical is the only defence you have between you and the disturbing reality of reality. Only by scoffing at physically impaired children, then you'd ease the pain of having to sympathize. Maybe not ease, but remove. You remove the pain, like it doesn't belong to you.

Being cynical allows a thorough assessment of every crappy situation you find yourself in, the do's and don'ts, the wrong and the right. You measure every criteria, index every index. You're afraid you'd find yourself in a position where you'd have to regret, so you avoid it like a disease. But the truth is, no one granted us superhuman foresight. We can't be in the know of everything before, now, and years later. We aren't capable of predicting, and sometimes even our instincts fail us.

So we have to rely on ourselves, on our better judgement. We enforce that better judgement, and if we're still flawed - at least we'd be able to tell ourselves that we've exhausted every possibilities and it was our best.

didn't sleep much last night, my eyes are puffy and i have body aches.. I had a dream of 'us', hell of a painful experience.. started to tear the moment I woke up.. I miss him... so much so that I didn't go to work today..
At the end of the day, I have my single life back.. so how come i dun feel the least bit happy?  I have banished thoughts of patching back from my mind right now.. As much as it hurts, it is not possible after everything that has happened. Starting to wonder whether the good times were real.. 2.5 years of it can't seem to fight off the 0.5 years of bad times. Makes me even more determined to just move on... Yah, it might just be the sadness talking right now, but I myself already had it in mind should it come to this. If you really love someone and want him to be better off, you have to let him go.. I've reached the point where I'm willing to sacrifice my own desires for him... Take it as repentence for whatever wrong I did.. I bear the consequences, willingly.. 

This whole experience is enough.. I do not, and cannot, go through it again.. Whatever faith left of the person that he is, is gone.. But I have renewed faith in myself and the things that I am able to give.. So let me walk out of all this a stronger woman.. Unlike you, i will never treat you as a best friend. Just a friend. Even then... you are but a memory.. Your blog used to say "don't let go", but was that period ever real? I'm letting go completely...

when i say nothing at all

  • Mar. 30th, 2007 at 8:00 AM

Long time since i blogged.. lost my voice!! Seriously once i fall sick i really just go all out ah.. No voice so no need to teach today.. Spare time to myself at the expense of...myself. Didn't sleep much last night.. And this weekend got alot of work to clear.

This school's assembly is so freaking boring.. i guess boring-ness is infectious. No wonder most people here look like they're from the set of House of Horrors. Kero had his 3rd jab.. didn't cry at all. Not a hum husky afterall.. But he really reeks now.. Not supposed to bathe him for 1 week. oh boy....... maybe buy those automatic air-fresheners that "pffftttt..!" every 5 minutes and strap it to his back.. Cos when he runs past us now, its like the garbage truck is here.

Btw, i watched tv for like the 1st time in a week last night.. Fann Wong is so pretty! hahaha but she aged alot.. Long time (and i mean really long time) never watch Ch 8 serials.. Once in a blue moon, its quite nostalgic. haha... no lah, i think Fann Wong is eye candy enough..

Whew really glad that its friday... My body is suffering. Once again i'm looking forward to sleeping in. And looking forward to going out with my boy tonight.. Think we're gonna watch TNMT. i lurrrvved them as a kid!! my favourite was Michaelangelo... So stupid rite, 4 giant turtles saving the world. hahaha.. but I like.... They look damn cute in the cartoons. Can't wait to catch the movie.

When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down

When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way It ought to be

When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad

When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see

Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby I am a man
When a man loves a woman

Came across this song just now.. Used to love its melodious-ness and all.. But listening to the lyrics just can't help but think "zun bo?". Especially bout the part on turning his back on his best friend.. Males love to wayang on and on about loyalty and being a brother to their friends lor.. Think it actually takes up quite a bit of their ego.. To forego (for ego) this would be a crime punishable by death.. haha.. Yes, its me with the boobs talking. I'm allowed to make such exaggerated (or maybe not) comments.. bottomline is, if such a guy exists, he is either really really in love, or he's just a wuss...

better late than never...

  • Mar. 5th, 2007 at 8:50 AM

Woke up 10 minutes later than usual today. This is what happens when you press the snooze button once the alarm starts to ring and just fall right back into deep sleep. I am so tired.. Sleep deficit. Woke up around 8am on Saturday & Sunday to go for my blading, and never take any naps.. So yah, this morning woke up late. 10 minutes might not seem alot right? No, you're wrong. It is amazing how much one can accomplish in the mornings given the 10 mins. Rushed like mad (bathe, decide what to wear, get dressed etc) and when I was about to step out of my room, realised I hadn't brought my phone along. Search under the pillow (usually its there), don't have. Under the comforter, don't have. Getting desperate so just stand on the bed and flap all my pillows and bolster hoping that my phone will appear. No avail. Basket! Getting later liao lah.. So use the house phone to call myself but... my phone was on silent!!!! W/O vibration!! Wah, super pek cek.. Comtemplated not bringing phone but quickly decided that I'd rather die.. Eventually I dug into my Crumpler bag and there it was. How did it get there? I really don't know..  Heng i still managed to reach school in time for flag-raising..

Gonna start teaching this Thursday liao.. Time to start doing lesson plan. Yech..Today is not a good day. Observation officially starts in Term 2. Quite scary eh.. Work is fast and furious. Get down to business now..

Happy Monniversary Darling!!! Muackz!! Super look forward to seeing you and Kero later.. Kero is making great progress btw, learn how to not pee and shit in the house liao.. Hope his cough gets better. =X

watery day

  • Mar. 1st, 2007 at 10:52 PM

Ain't mother nature wonderful? Rain till the ground turns soggy, days turn dreary, dirty my car, wet my freshly-washed hair, puddles of water everywhere resulting in wet pant legs etc.. Yepyepyep.. Mother nature is mother fantastic. *unforced grin*

School sports day tmr. Mother nature better hold it in. Don't even know my duties for tmr man.. Hope they don't allocate me to be in-charge of refreshments or stand in front of the milo truck and be in-charge of discipline or anything like that.. I wanna be out there doing something directly related to the theme of 'sports'. Wah if they had teachers race and the prize was free unlimited supply of printing paper and markers, I confirm go take part. Such a 'solid' prize in these laosai times, I think can motivate me to break all my past sprint records. diedie oso must win.. haha suddenly reminds me of my jc days, when i was being sabo-ed on my birthday(friend was threatening to dump a load of flour and eggs on me)during netball training, I ran so freaking fast that my teacher-in-charge couldn't believe it.. crouching tiger hidden dragon k.. But i need this kinda boliao external motivating factor lah. Boliaoness should be my middle name. Then my initials can be BBC. The totally uncut uncouth version. Hurhur...
sorry, sharp turn ahead. I got mahjong craving.. red chong, peh ban, fat choy. Peng! (daydreaming.. shiokness..)

This blog is damn value-minus. But i lurvveee.. Oh! Must thank my lovely for taking time out and travelling all the way just to have dinner with me.. Muackz! I love these moments that make me forget that we've already been together for 3+ years.. He makes my heart flutter so. Seems like it was just yesterday that we got together..

pain

  • Feb. 21st, 2007 at 10:35 PM

my head still hurts from the knock.. Certain movements just make it throb. F***. Physically painful reminder of how sucky a night I had 3 days ago.. won't ever forget it... The things that were gone against, once done though over, can never be emotionally erased. Change for the better, i have.. I'm just bruised inside...
I'm just a small tiny negligible being. Say and vent also wrong, keep it in also wrong.. slowly but surely, i'm losing my grip.. bloody stab me.. ranting on my blog is good. Yeah my blog offers me no words of motivation, but it also doesn't put me down and make me feel like I committed a felony just cos I have certain feelings..

really really really hope u can think about the things you say... today is a sucky day. I hate today.

Happy New Year!

  • Feb. 17th, 2007 at 11:45 PM

Gong xi gong xi... Hope all of you reading this get lotsa angbaos, no wait, lotsa money! Scali get alot of red packets but inside all $2 then.. no point la huh..

Went Jade Room for my reunion dinner. Tiny affair with just my family and my uncle, auntie, and cousin.. My family is like how small. Dad's side doesn't count cos they're all in Malaysia and I really wouldn't be able to recognise most of them even if they were kill my rabbit in my face.. Anyways, dinner was awesome. All the new year packages are standard and they're catered for 10pax. So the 6 of us actually ate the share of 4 other people. As usual, I ate the most. (wad like 5 bowls of ee-mee?) haha i'm really freaking greedy. I have a pig (big) appetite. Super full now.
Played cards with my parents. haha it was damn fun! My mum is suuuuuuppppperrrrrr slow in learning gambling rules! Dad aka gambling god, won the most. There exists a strategy to place your bets in order to attain economic growth in the long run. A pity I still haven't quite got the skill and luck to master it. Yet. Mahjong session tmr.. Pls oh pls lemme win big big! I treat it as my part-time job.. I'm a very conscientious, dedicated, loyal worker.. Grant me some bonus pls. Last month finances in the red liao, must make my life worthwhile during new year..

Something cute to mention. My baobei willingly travelled from home to my place just to c me for like half hour twice today. Despite being busy with new year stuff and all, he still makes the effort just cos he wants to see me.. haha i think its so sweet. Seriously, everyday is just valentine's day for us.. dat's the reason y i cherish this r/s so much. =) After a couple of rough patches, I'm glad we're still the way we are.

Hongying, Happy Birthday!!!! Double happiness for you.. New year + birthday.. Red packets should be all 'upsized' ones yah.. haha.

Valentines

  • Feb. 15th, 2007 at 12:21 AM

Technically the day has just passed by 25minutes but whatever. Just reached home not too long ago.. Wa no energy liao. My v-day was spent at baby's house, where he attempted to cook a 3-course dinner for me.. It was great darling! Thanks a million. Muackz! =) Beats eating out anytime.. Watched Apocalypto on dvd after dinner. Love to snuggle up and watch dvds (with u).. Nice movie eh, in all its gory. Hiakz hiakz(Juls, how witty am i). Fell asleep midway through the movie, but awoke 15 minutes later to continue watching.. this is the first stay home v-day that I had and it was a pleasant change.. Guess i'm just glad we weren't up for grabs in the capitalist market.

Now i gotta add on to my part for project, which is due tmr.. Sianz. Chop chop finish so that I can go rest.. Half asleep liao lah.

Of eyelids

  • Feb. 13th, 2007 at 9:23 PM

My eyelids are feeling damn raw from the lack of sleep. Completed school amidst comments of "hmmm, something looks different about you" and "wah.. y r ur eyes swollen?"
.......
super duper emotionally drained after yesterday lah.. This is just one of those weeks in NIE where I just hope to survive it.. (it really ain't about your friends, if u really understood u'd stop feeling this way. I would appreciate some understanding above all else. cos the bottomline is: I need your strength)

On another note, my thumbdrive just exploded.. with information. No more space!! Not now man.. I'm thinking of getting a new laptop. But. BUT. show me the money!!! Just wait and see how much ang pao money I collect this year first.. Can't wait for CNY. Cos after that can go collect Kasper.. Pls bless the little darling. Hunter's doing fine now, it was really great to see him just bounding about with energy yet I felt guilty for picking Kasper over him. After all, Hunter was the cute little furball that we fell in love with in the first place..
If the resposibility were mine, perhaps i would bring you home in the end. 

Quitting Essay Disease

  • Feb. 12th, 2007 at 11:57 PM

Helppppppppppp...

I hate doing this essay now when my brain is threatening to just crash on me and send me into lala land.. oooohhhh.. i wanna go LaLA LAND!!! If you dunno what lala land means, lemme explain---I am tired and wanna sleep. Feeling miserable.. Aaarrghhh. Gotta tap into my inner chi by myself.. Not like I have a choice to not hand it in tmr and not have to face the music.

The stress is getting to me. Really. .......Tired....
*sigh*
