One fine day...

It is rare for Esther to be home on a nice Thursday afternoon blogging away.

But here am I, at home sending out emails and busy typing away.

Well, the school holidays are here, and there's no relief teaching = no $$ ):

Anyway, my 'term break' once again is coming to an end,

And the next module's starting in about 2 weeks' time.

But I'm looking forward to it,

Because my result slip gave me booster jab. (:

And I'm proud to be at 226/635 -> if you have no idea, better buy your texts soon peeps.

Another half a day has passed, how quickly this year has passed...

What besties do with you...

My besties, one here, one in Australia...

We have almost nothing in common, except that we all like to have fun.

And these are the things we do together, what besties to together.

Besties are people who chiong Comex with you on Friday after a long day at work,

Have dinner together at HK cafe,

Spilt the dinner bill before ending the day with some strawberry sundae at Gelare,

At 10pm when the shop's about to close...

Besties are friends who share one ice-cream with you, because both of us are on low budget.

After a long Friday and reaching home late,

This bestie meets me up at City Hall again at 11.30am, with both of us late for 30 mins,

And then heading for lunch.

Besties are people who decide that it is more worth it to order two sets of lunches,

And share the food: deep fried pork, teriyaki chicken and some soft shell crab.

Then after some shopping, besties head to a stall which gives out free cotton candy...

And shares one pink fluffy cotton candy...

And of course, besties are friends who do crazy things with you...

Like taking the picture of cookie monster and me.

And then doing the vice versa.

Besties are also people who once again go to comex with you again the next day,

To accompany you to buy a printer, and giving you advice,

Before taking tired pictures of each other and blue-toothing it on the mrt home...

Well Serene, don't be jealous,

You can join us once you are back.

And we did not just go out,

We went around to search for your birthday present ok!

Decisions

I realized that certain decisions are easy to make,

But hard to fulfill.

Sometimes don't decisions make us go topsy-turvy?

So what's so bad about being indecisive sometimes?

It's hard, hard hard...
------------------
Anyway, it's always a good way to cool down after a fiery day at school,

By heading to TCC with some good company.

They never cease to make you smile again, just so naturally.

Humourous Speech & Evaluation Contest

My trophy!

Yes, I am the champion for the club humourous speech contest,

My first CHAMPION trophy,

Which means I have to move on to the next level, the area level.

Beyond that, there's still the PA (People's Association) Humourous Speech Contest,

Which I'm supposed to represent the club.

I shall just use back the same speech,

Anyway I'm representing because no one's going.

So contests contests, here they come.

--------------------------------------
As we grow up, we sometimes realise how hard is it to maintain friendships.

From primary school, "I don't want to friend you anymore."

Till now, drifting apart and when you feel the cold shoulder,

It's really hard to get yourself to speak to that person again.

And we drift apart...

I was reading Serene's blog and her latest entry, a poem about friendship.

Serene and I are miles and miles apart, yet she calls me (long distance calls).

Appreciate appreciate. I mean if a friend staying a continent away can call,

Then why some friends just try to ignore you when you take the effort and trouble to just say hi?

Well, maybe some friendships are not worth the effort.

Back at the blog

I've been too tired to blog lately,

Especially after a day of scolding kids and marking horrible work.

I just wanna hit the sack before preparing for another terrible day.

It is sometimes not that horrible,

But I think I'm losing patience with my class.

They always give me a 'good' class to relief.

But money doesn't come easy I guess.

Tonight's the humourous speech & evaluation contest,

I'm taking part in the speech contest,

So Miss Lim decided to take MC today and rest at home,

And rehearse for the speech contest.

Wish me luck!

A day of proper blogging

Finally there's a day after the past 2 weeks that I can sit down and take some time to type.

I've been busy relief-teaching a supposedly active class,

But perhaps I scolded them the first minute I saw them,

They knew I wasn't kidding and gonna fool around with them.

Nonetheless, I've only taught 5 days so far, due to the National Day holiday,

And the PSLE orals these 2 days.

But tutoring goes on...

I seem to be on a vacation all the time,

But exam's tomorrow, before another module starts end-September.

Meanwhile, let me relief teach and get some moolah rolling in. $.$

Over the past 2 weekends...

I've been enjoying myself over the last 2 weekends,

Eating dim sum now and then and heading out to town...

Here's a glimpse of my weekends.

I was out with RP to Orchard then to Suntec,

Then we headed to Kenny Rogers for dinner.

Some roasters wings for you?


I look sleepy because I was + the lighting = super sleepy.

RP looks more refreshed... Heh.

Then we headed to Carrefour and a cute elmo bag for me.

Then over the weekend that just passed, Cheng San Toastmasters had a recreation trip,

To HSBC treetop walk.

Here's the beginning where we saw monkays!

By the time we got to the entrance, everyone was half dead.

Then we took another group picture at the ranger station.

There are many more photos on the Cheng San TMC blog, so head there to see more.

Meanwhile, Saturdays are now good days to go out because there's no more tuition on Saturdays!

Feels good to be back

It feels good to be back at my own primary school doing relief teaching,

Teachers whom taught me before are still around,

So are colleagues whom I was close to during my short stint there last year.

It's hard work to deal with the little brats,

But with nice colleagues and money rolling in,

I will endure.

忍！！！

The start of a new month

With the blink of an eye,

Another month passed, with ups and downs...

But don't look back, look forward,

Here's schedule for month of August!

Orange box = National Day, green box = public holiday.

Red box = exam.
It's gonna be a busy month,

But money's gonna roll in!!!

Wheee. (:

A day out

First up was dim sum in the morning with mum and Aunt Genevieve,

Then it was tuition from 330-530.

Following that was dinner with mum and Aunt Genevieve again.

So what happened today was I travelled from Yishun (home) to Orchard (dim sum),

Back to Yishun (tuition) then to Dhoby Ghaut (to meet up).

Then walked to Somerset (dinner) and then back home again.

How fun is it to travel on the mrt...

But it was a good day. (:

In fact, super duper great. (((((((:
