waiting for my files to be backed up in my new portable hdd... hahaha... i am going to get another hdd, those big bulky ones that can store all my gazillion things and just kept at home for.. peace of mind :) i think i'll just cry if my comp/hdds crash 1 day and all my data are gone.
yest was a cool day. finally got reunited with my creative mp3 (support spore products! haha) after i carelessly left it in sr's car.. the price of carelessness was 4 days w/o my music accompanying me on public transport :( but ok la it wasnt that that that bad. but my mp3 is really 1 of those essential things that i'll def bring out with me wherever i go, esp on overseas travels... YN, here i come! yeeha!
excited excited excited. coupled with a sense of urgency.. suddenly feel so unprepared, i wish i had more time to read up prepare testimonies so that if/when i get the chance to i can share unreservedly, w/o worrying abt my lousy language and what content.. no time no time no time! jack neo should make a film - time no enough. it seriously isnt. just look at my eye bags -_-
the excitement abt this upcoming trip has been there, but it's mounting, esp after i got to talk to my xb 'kid' (aka student).. haha who's actually a 20 year old boy, actually only 4 years younger. suddenly the prospect of seeing him/them again feels more real... and i feel like scrambling to set up qq and organize a mass meet up of 25班.. hais. but hey're all over the place not all have contact no.s so.. i guess i'll leave it up to God. there're a handful of students i feel more affectionate towards.. mainly those who still wrote letters.. but i would esp wanna meet the 2 (zhi guo and jian mei) who specially came down to xy city to find jason and i on our 2007 trip.. but ok, i'm just very thankful at being reconnected with guo bao. he sms-ed me last night too! so funny la that boy.. really, reeeally wanna meet up with him.. then there's zhu ming jie，cheeky cute boy from 28班. and his adorable lil sis xiao feng.. but my fave lil kid was xiao po, and there's her older sis jian qin. are they still at xb? re-read the letters i got from them on the 2007 trip.. all so sweet.. 3 years down the road now, wonder how they are? do they still think of me/us? will they really get to come spore and find me/us one day..
一生有你 reminds me of all my 象鼻kids, as does老鼠爱大米. i miss them.
okay that aside... i had a wonderful spontaneous meet up with jacjac! at startbucks :) now she knows my new fave haunt. tho cos of its ulu-ness i doubt i'll go there frequently, just for those special days when i need time/space/privacy for myself, to breathe, smell the coffee, and reconnect with God. anyway, its so nice to be in more constant touch with her, to know whats going on with each other etc.. and haha i'm also very happy cos in some sense SHE initiated it ;) it is a big deal k, cos she always claims she's very passive... haha! my dearest friend apart from ws from jc days.. all our times tgt.. and then the rocky bits after.. but now we'r a-okay! may the friendship go from strength to strength :)
the crazyily busy week is over, but somehow still feeling like i have a lot of things i need/want to do. which includes a massive overhaul of my whole room. its so messy/disorganized, i cant stand it. yet i;ve been living in/like this for my whole life! being in child care has somehow influenced me in this i think. that, and how organized/neat ws + his family is. otherwise next time how? cham ah!
want to go sing ktv.. want to go cycling at the beach.. want a bandits outing to sentosa.. want a poly friends sleepover/saboteur get-together.. wants a make-up staycation with dotdot (havent seen/spoken to her in ages).. wants to visit rj and search for teachers and see if they remember me/us.. wants to have so6b class gathering and christian fellowship... doesnt mind going ice-skating/ horse-riding...
wants to make presents for my xb kids, my tcc kids etc etc. and belated bday cum father's day present for my awesome earthly daddy, esp since i'll be away.
ok, time to go keep track of all the things i need to get done today... focus cling, FOCUS!

Wednesday, May 19, 2010
realised i havent blogged in a few weeks. been too busy/sleep-deprived (what's new)/ tired to have time for anything.
it's soooo nice to have the children's nap time (1.30-3pm) free for once without having to leave the centre for some thing or other. not that i stayed in today, i went out to run errands. lol. i.e, buy food (been eating non-stop round the clock these days... a disturbing trend) and to collect my stuff from the locker. Thank God the school didnt throw them away! can heave a big sigh of relief. muahaha.
i'll be glad to have time for myself when i stop work come end of this month. somehow, all my committments are all this time period.. total clash. makes for one tired chia ling. ah wells. all the same, i WILL miss my kids.. the senior toddlers in particular. not that they wun remember me anymore when i leave, but though i'll still come by from time to time to visit, i know it won't be the same, we won't be as close anymore.. which is natural i know. sigh, ironies of life. goes to show sometimes u just cant have your cake and eat it.
they're all blissfully asleep now.. look like such serene angels. being with them makes me wonder what i was like as a 2+, 3 year old kid.. did i cry a lot? over every small matter? how articulate was i? did i snatch toys? bite people? hit others? hahaha... it's quite hilarious and actually pretty unimaginable to picture me and say... my jc classmates as 3 years old in preschool tgt. jc cos that was co-ed, like in preschool, while sec sch was single sex. so different dynamics also.
had what was probably my most successful, or rather, most satisfying lesson with this age group. 7 kids, happy face group were with me today... we did square and triangle-shaped sponge printing. it felt good :) everything went quite smoothly.. and they seem to have a much better grasp of the concept after these past couple days of shape-ish activities. i really wanna do more, make some learning corner activities for them and all but.. just lack the time and energy. what a bummer.
this weekend marks the conclusion of most of the stuff i've been preparing for/ busy with. RWinds perf during RI band concert tmr night (Chess and Selections from UP, our last prac was totally hilarious with many good laughs.. ahahaha), Ms Michelle's wedding on Sat and MayKTV, then THE graduation ceremony... hmmm. all the training sessions for the speech and all, the sacifice of my locks... i kinda wish i could invite friends to come, but i guess they're all working now and doesnt make sense for them to take leave to come. if only ws could come... silly N***. GrRrrRRRR. cause my boy to be overworked and sleep-deprived. *Roar* happy though that zhiyang and shengrong can come. a bit paiseh though asking people to come.. so if u happen to see this and dun mind wasting your mon morning on 24th, 9am-12 at ngee ann convention centre to attend my grad ceremony, let me know k? :)
k, kids are waking up... gtg. ciao! :)
