I haven't updated for so long. Have been busy with work!
Celebrated gay's birthday on the 8th by having dinner with Xy and Elena at Plaza Sing's secret recipe, but the stupid gay didn't get to spend the entire day with me. He totally sucks. Didn't have a long enough conversation with him over the phone today either.
Went out shopping with Nureen at Orchard on the 11th. It was really fun to catch up with her since we haven't met for so long! She gave me a present from US - Victoria's Secret perfume! Looks expensive and I feel bad since I was caught empty handed and without a gift in return.
Had dinner after school with Melina on the 14th. She gave me a bracelet from Cambodia and again I felt bad for not giving her a super belated present. It was really nice talking to her. I think we talked non stop. We walked to my house and continued talking at my void deck all the way until 11pm.
Celebrated Xueying's birthday at Ikea with YW, Elena and gay on the 22nd. Yay, meatballs! But gay and I left early and went over to his friend's house.
Tomorrow's gonna be my last day of work at BBSS. I would've worked for only 15 days but it was still really fun! Some guys in 4E1 stole my sweets during history lesson today but I guess it's okay since I was planning to give the sweets to them anyway, except in an orderly fashion. The funniest thing today was the comment, "'cher, can I see your eyebrows?".
There's this guy from 4T1 who is full of nonsense. I was in charge of inline skating during MLA (Multi Level Activities) and he disturbed me during while I was marking stuff. From then on, whenever he sees me around, he says hi in a most enthusiastic way. Lol!
And 2E5 is such a cute class! I've had the most number of lessons with them. They're full of life and eager to learn. I'm gonna be seeing them tomorrow, and it'll be my last lesson for the day as well. 4N1/2 is quite a nice class too. Can't say much about the other classes since I didn't get to really know them.

I'll be back in school on Wednesday
I didn't know that teaching is so tiring! :(
Yet I'm starting to like it. It's kinda fun.
On Thursday I had three lessons (so tiring!) and after that I accompanied 4E1 to Ngee Ann Poly where I met Kenneth Yap, the NP ambassador who boarded our bus. I think he was surprised to see me. After watching some videos with the 4E/5N cohort, the teachers went to the teacher's lounge area or whatever and had some food before leaving. They gave us the NP goodie bag as well.
It is just so weird to be a relief teacher because you still feel like you're a student, yet you aren't. And when you're with teachers whom you used to see around school as a student but now you can treat them as colleagues/friends, it somehow feels awkward.
At least there's Brenda, Beatrice and Ellisa who's in the same situation!
Friday was awesome since I only had one lesson. But I was pretty dead tired before that. Went for standby class as well. On the way out of school I met Dennis! Then I met the gay at Westmall, had lunch at mayim and went home.
I slept till 1pm today!
Oh yeah, and my students found my facebook and my blog. I went to check the stats to see how they discovered my blog and apparently, they came here either through facebook or google. Oh my gosh. Can you believe it? They actually googled me. That is so weird.

First day of school/work
see more Lolcats and funny pictures
Work was actually kind of fun! Had to meet up with Mr Lam's form class in the morning after staff introductions and Mrs Kee's speech, then I had two history lessons back to back and then assembly with the sec 4 cohort.
Yay, I only have one lesson tomorrow! :)
Oh and my job is only 3 weeks long but apparently there's another teacher who's going on leave as well, and if I take up the offer I'll get to work for another 2 weeks or something. But I'll have to teach geography, which is a subject that I have no interest in and had only studied until sec 2. I don't think I'll be able to do it properly.

2011
I spent new year's eve watching my sister play Okami at first, then met gay outside, walked around, had dinner, then he went off to meet his friend while I met the e6 guys (zj, js, kk, nigou, ts, shaun). Went to Mos where some of us played bridge while the others ate. And instead of fireworks, we watched a late night movie, Hello Stranger! It's super cute and funny! And I even teared a little. Especially at the part where he confesses!
Decided to go home after that since I was going out the next day. Gay Justin once again insisted upon sending me home even though I told him not to, so he did and we took the train back but we both fell asleep while on the north-south line so we missed the stop at Yew Tee and woke up 2 stops later, at Marsiling. The cab fare back was ridiculously expensive.
Reached home at about three or so, couldn't sleep till about 4 and was supposed to meet Michelle and LY at 9.30am but obviously overslept and was late. Bought some food at Westmall and took a direct bus to the botanic garden, as we were supposed to meet Jack at the bus stop. But apparently we missed the bus stop (how retarded of me, considering that I went there on Christmas day) and we took the bus all the way down to Marina so we took a cab back.
We found a shady spot, started eating and playing monopoly deal but the next thing you know, it began to rain. Thankfully it was a weird kind of rain. It rained heavily then stopped then rained/drizzled again. So it wasn't that bad as the rain during Christmas. We headed over to the pretty white pavilion and continued playing. The game is really fun. It managed to entertain us for so long. I didn't even have to bring out my storytelling game.
After that my parents happened to be around because they went for lunch with my relatives on my mum's side, so they called me and said they'll drive me home. We went to Lot 1 first to get some groceries and on the way back my parents quarrelled in the van and started shouting. It was already pretty noisy due to the sound of the heavy rain beating down on the van and so you can imagine how annoying it was. This is one of the reasons why I didn't want them to send me home in the first place, other than the possibility of getting van sick.
My mother expected me to take her side but I mean, why should I interfere? They were both being irritating to each other. It's so dumb. And they were quarrelling over the stupid old house which has already been sold, so there is no point. I don't understand their nonsense.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm gonna start on my first job. It's only three weeks long, though.
