jialing is tired. 真的好累，好累啊。总觉得等着我去做的事太多，做不完，需要做的事接二连三的来，根本没时间休息，喘气。杀了我吧。。。这样下去真的会死。哈哈。

cant believe its the last day of the year already.. got various things i'd wanna talk about here.. but too tired.. so another time.

To God be all the glory for all He has done in me and blessed me with :)

anyway, so that was a rant about school.. got lots more to rant about.. maybe another time. it's 8.24 pm on a thurs night and i am sitting alone in canteen 1. dot went home first cos i wanted to linger and use sch electricity as i blog etc.

today, i brought my $9.90 kettle jug to school! The jug that i bought at Courts Tampines Megastore at half price, that i queued for half an hour to buy tgt with my new toy, my Casio Exlim 10.1 megapix cam :) am pleased with it despite song wee revealing that Casio has the highest digital noise. haha. anyway, philip (Child Health n Nutrition lecturer, our only male lecturer ahahaha) commented that it shoots very clear videos! cos we happily showed him the video we made for our ITA assignment.. we showed it to another lecturer today too, ahahha. am rather proud of it tho of cos, if we had more time had been more efficient etc it could have been more professional and nicer.. the audio part esp.. the sound recordings at some parts really make me wanna cringe. haha. what to do, working with limited time is like that.

the ITA video has caused calista's 'gang' to howl "AH BOYYYYYY!! ah boyyy dont go!!!" whenever they see her.. not forgetting "ARMY ENLISTMENT?? stay home and be a mummy's boy!" lol. hilarious. i like the video of dot and evie a lot.. think it's very funny.. the nuances of their expressions and all.. neer fails to tickle me :P

i realise i keep on and on about school! this is bad. my life does NOT just revolve around school... although these past few weeks has really been about school school and more school stuff.. hais.

last day of sch tmr b4 our 3 week break! but it's not gonna be a very relaxing break cos still got sch work to do.. my math learning corner to set up especially.. sigh.. suck my bloood again.. dunno how i'll urvive as a teacher next time when i take ages to do lesson plans and put my thoughts together, and even to come up with creative ways to teach the content. HMM.

oh, and i'll be working part time too.. at chiltern house! tho it'll be tiring, i'll look forward to the income ($$$ is always welcome! Have been splurging man. on food and all. cos when life is stressful.. must pamper oneself to make things more bearable ma!) and to seeing what things are like there now that i've been in sch for almost 2 years.. observe how they teach, the things they do.. hee :)

listening to my jay hou cd now that xh n lum gave me as my bday present. speaking of which.. i am sad becos altho i had the most wonderful bday celebration with my beloved S8 gals this year on the eve of my 22nd.. but.. it has left me SCARRED FOR LIFE. *sniff sniff* it's so ugly.. boo hoo.. the scar left from hitting my shin on the bus as i tried to board it while being blindfolded... sad.. ah wells. Ivan, the crazy little boy-man (33 years old, married with 2 kids, i diagnose him with ADHD. lol. refer to pict below. he's my RWinds sectionmate :) but he makes pracs fun. he's hilarious man. )

he sends the most scandalous sounding smses too. when i have the time i'll type some out here. ahahhaa.

anyway as i was saying, this Ivan fellow is actually a doctor. in the geriatrics (elderly pple) in CGH. i asked him abt that scar yest, he said the lump there is prob cos got scar tissue underneath.. and that it's prob permanent. AHHHHHHHHH

hahaha. ok nvm.

i am also sad that i cant go turkey. ok actually not really sad sad la.. but it IS a pity that finally my uncle is bringing his family to Turkey and he wanted to bring me but i can't.. cos my baobao will be back and cos of RWinds.. i have been bugging him to bring me on a holiday for a while liaos.. now that it has materialised, i've gotta give it a miss, so, ya quite a pity. then now, apparently cos he bought air tic for my bro, my bro will be going too... makes me wish even more that i can go.. cos i havent been on a hol with my bro in very long.. i miss all those times when my bro brought me on trips.. and what's more it's to such an exciting place this time leh, turkey. TURKEY. woah... ah wells. it would have been so much fun getting to go with my cousins and my bro and my uncle.. ok basically, my uncle's family and my bro...

alright, that's that, WS says he'll buy me turkey when he comes back to compensate me. ahahah. Subway turkey sandwich. lol. foot long! 6 inches for me, 6 inches for him :)

shu en is back! it was GREAT spontaneosly staying over at her place on mon night last week... :) bought a $3 hot pink t shirt to wear to school the next day ahaha. got my bday present from her at long last, and got my xmas present in advance. lol. which reminds me, i gotta start on my Xmas cards! this year's Xmas is gonna be totally different from last year's... :)

too many things that happened that i reflected about and had wanted to write
BUT


school sucked my blood and deprived me of my beauty sleep.


guess i just have to settle for updating on how i've been and upload nice pics of recent times! :)


For one, i have been getting a heavy dose of DOROTHY STEPHANIE NG aka DOT DOT


partly cos i requested to do all group projects with her, so she's definitely in all my project groups. and somehow for little projects like today's poster design in class, apparently lots were drawn and we STILL ended up tgt, lol. good thing though, i dun think anyone else can stand how opinionated and domineering i am at times...


brings to mind how upset and hurt i was last sem when a clique member said that of me in an email. went ard asking friends whether they concurred, and what being domineering meant to them. got a variety of answers i think. the one that stood out the most was how all of us are domineering at times when it comes to things that matter to us? i guess, the gist is, we all have our domineering sides..


anyway, the point is, i concur. felt so bad while doing the poster in class with dotdot, cos i kept veto-ing everything she suggested initially. was in a state of disarray cos our original planned design was heavily criticized by teacher and we had to literally come up with a whole new design on the spot. kept feeling like, how how how!?!?!! dunno how to arrange things so it'll look nice.. but i'm gad to say that, at the end of the day, we came through fine :) our poster was pretty nice, and it was cos of dot's suggestions! i think i was having mind block la, just couldnt visualize how to put the various parts of the poster tgt so it would be nice. so anyway, dotdot also has me to thank! cos if i hadnt veto-ed her initial ideas, she wouldnt have thought of the idea that we finally used :) so, we make a good team. lol.


thanks for everything, dotdot :) pics of us :)





my fat legs aside, i like this pic a lot! in the new GELATO ice cream place at Sunset Way... hahaha... i made dotdot walk from ngee ann to clementi mrt with me and we passed by that place on the way and decided to be nice to ourselves. so we treated ourselves to ice cream and waffle! we deserved it ok. stayed back in school till EIGHT PM to burn the cd for ITA assignment.. it wasnt easy figuring out what to burn and what to delete so as not to clutter up the cd, esp as we were super sian and zonked after sleeping 1+ hours the night b4 (spent mon night at dot's house after chionging project in sch on a public hol - hari raya haji - from 10 am till 11.10pm. broke a new record man. previously left sch at 11pm the week b4 chioning EA project... ). wanna thank dotdot for staying back with me to help me with it! otherwise.. hurhur.. i was really VERY SIAN about having to figure that out after already spending so much time on the assignment already..

haha we're too big, the ice cream behind us can barely be seen. lol

in sch, canteen 1 just before leaving. dun we look cute? hahahahaa

act cute pic 2 :D

nice normal pic.

isnt't our poster nice? :) actually, personally i find it too colourful.. lol. too many colours screaming for my attention. and. DOT and i spent A LOT of money on materials for that darn thing la! for some reason, we thought it was to be a HUGE poster, like a bit smaller than mahjong size.. so we bought TWO big pieces of black paper.. each was like abt 3 bucks.. then u see the pretty shiny paper used for the words "Dazzle & Shine '08"? that cost SIX bucks ok.. heart pain... and the green thing for our Xmas tree? i suggested buying 2 or 3.. dot went to buy SIX. each was like almost a buck la. bought other stuff too... oh man.. we really boosting the economy can.. and DUN GET ME STARTED ON HOW MANY TIMES I CABBED THIS PAST WEEK AND A HALF...

at least the poster session ended on a pleasant note. then again, i need that grade to pull up what i prophesy will be a not-high grade for my case study which is 5% more.. cos i merrily crapped out 4 pages only to realise later that 1 of the grading criteria was "ability to be concise etc etc." so, merry christmas to me.. there goes my marks flying away from me.. who ask me to be so last minute.. but then.. its cos of the continuous onslaught of work.. i really am dying la. ok choy. i will survive.
