new TV!

Yes Char in response to your last comment, I’ve thought really hard and came to the decision to drop the P6 tutee. It wasn’t really that tough actually cause lazy me had always wanted to drop him, just that I couldn’t bare to earn $220 less a month. Oh well, I’ve told them already so there’s no turning back. At least they were really understanding about it.=)

I went to the IT fair with claud on fri and yesterday with my parents and was dissapointed with the almost non-existent discounts.At least for the stuff that I had wanted to get. My parents got us a new TV though so it wasn’t exactly a wasted trip. They process was super funny. Here’s what happened:
We passed this audio house booth that was having it’s hourly
special and there was a big crowd so we decided to join them.
The sales people were super high and it was like some ‘lehlong’
thing. There were only 5 sets available and those who wanted
them had to grab 1 of the 5 slips of paper that the promoter
would hold out after they announced the price. It was like some
rally caue they were all so high and were like chanting slogans or
something. THen when they announced the price, there was total
chaos and people were like shoving and pushing just to grab a slip
paper as if it were some freebie when it actually was a $1000 plus TV.
It wasn’t even like 50% off or something. Ok back to us. The pieces
of paper were like just in front of my dad’s face then he he looked
back at us with the OMG-it’s just-in front-of-me-so-should-i-grab-it
look. Then my mum was like shouting ‘just take it!’ to my dad (she
had to shout cause it was super noisy and she must have been
made rather high by the promoter). So my dad just grabbed it and
tahdah! we ended up with a TV! We closed the deal in less than 5
minutes. LOLS. (pardon me for my inability to summarise the story.)

I so hope that I can get my parents to put the small TV in my room!

Oh and i’m meeting some of my jc classmates tomorrow for k box.yay!!!! highness!!!

Decided to split the post into 2 cause i didn’t want to end up with such a long post.xD
I’m currently using my aunt’s com to type this cause she’s in malaysia and i’m staying here to look after my grandma who’s alone at home. Really bored here that’s why I’ve come to revive my dead blog. I predict that it’ll be dead again soon, about the time when i move back home.hahas
Anyways, I was thinking of changing my blog once again cause I really don’t like the skins provided by wordpress. Then again, there’s no other blogging site that allows me to lock individual posts. Perhaps i’ll change it when i go to uni, it’s a new begining afterall.
Speaking of starting uni…i was wondering if i should drop my P6 tutee.It’s pretty irresponsible if i drop once i start cause that’s like barely 2 months to the PSLE.So if i really do drop him, i should drop like now but i really need the money. If i don’t drop him i’ll have to teach him till the end of his PSLE and that will eat into half of the uni sem. I wonder if i’ll be able to cope, afterall uni is very different from jc. how?should i or should i not?

Life’s changed pretty much recently though i don’t know i’ve changed along with it.
I’m more or less settled with the uni stuff and all.(accepted smu’s offer of econs and biz double deg. I got the smu scholarship too!woohoo! they offered right after i conplained to nic that they should offer a scholarship to help make up my mind.hahas …maybe i should complain to nic more often.I usually get what i wish for after that.=)) Accepted the offer and thought that it was the end to uni stuff, then i realised that it was just the begining.=s There’s like camps and briefings and matriculation and bidding for courses yada yada yada. I hope the people there dun enter with their friends cause i have no one with me. I felt so arkward during the lee kong chian and econs tea session cause most people there attended with friends. That’s why i’m having mixed feelings about uni.

Met up with some sec2 classmates on sunday.Haven’t seen them for super long and was surprised that i could fit in so well since i wasn’t in their clique in the first place. Just got invited cause i was close to some of them. It’s been 2 years and they’ve changed quite abit but it’s comforting to know that we’ll always find a friend in one another though we’re hardly involved in one another’s life. Wherever life takes me, I know that there will be friends that i can fall back unto.=)

I’ve decided to update before the rest of the world thinks i’ve dissapeared into thin air. hahas
I’m in a post holiday and uni application mood these days. Still anticipating the start of uni cause life’s super boring these days with like nothing to do except driving, giving tuitions,watching dramas and going out. And i’m like totally dreading driving lessons cause i think i do not have any natural inclination whatsoever to driving at all. ultimate rahness! hate lessons but i can’t just give up after coming so far. btw anyone’s willing to drive me around in future so i won’t have to drive? hee…
I’ve been feeling empty these days. I dunno why either, it’s like something’s missing or lost though i’m not sure what it is. decided not to bother though, shall not kill my brain cells.
…actually i’ve not been blogging as much as i’ll like to cause sometimes i dun see the need to blog. AS in was so interesting about telling the world the simplest details in your life? like where you went today?wat you bought during shopping and maybe wat movie you watched?is there really such a need? sometimes i just wonder… oh well … maybe when i do have a lappy next time i’ll blog more often since it’s more convenient:)

PS. this is a super random post so my thoughts are all jumbled up so bear with the incoherrence

randomness…

WARNING: this is a really boring post about my week written to pass time…

ok so i’m jobless at the moment but this week has been pretty eventful… for shopping not job seeking though.
here’s what took place…

MOnday: went to watch the movie jia you xi shi with Joel cause he mentioned that he wanted to catch it. Was ok but not the ‘definately-must-watch-if-not-you’ll-regret’ kind of movie and there was only 1 really funny part that i laughed really hard, other than that it wasn’t really much of a comedy. Then we went to jack’s place for lunch. Food was ok but i noticed that Joel’s getting chattier and chattier compared to years back when i dared not go out with him for fear of having nothing to say for that few hours where we’ll be out.

Tuesday: BUgis street! umber happy! haven’t gone there for like super long! was there with nic and we were there for like3+ hours only but the trip’s super fruitful, got lots of stuff at a bargain.

Wednesday: slacked at home and ran some errands. Attempted to find a job but couldn’t find a suitable temp one so it wasn’t fruitful i guess. was debating if i should take up the childcare job though even though the pay’s lower. Then the tuition agency offered a job teaching a pri1 girl. Took it up and will be starting on mon. luckily it’s nearby so i won’t have to travl that much. Rather nervous cause i spoke to the mum and she was like some ex-tutor so she was really professional and has really high expectations. She said i sounded quite mature over the phone that’s why she decided to hire me.hee…

Thursday: WEnt shopping witrh yijia at far east! i spent so much more here compared to bugis cause the stuff’s more ex. feel so guilty about it. ummm something came out of the trip at least. realised that yijia’s pretty nice to talk to about other stuff other than our usual crapping. pity that i only found out after so many years. maybe not seeing one another as often really makes you realise who are the one’s that you can really turn to in times of need i guess…oh and i saw fiona. i waved and so did she, so i guess she still remembers me.haven’t seen her for so long but she looks the same though. We had a ‘ family meeting’ to plan the holiday that we’ve been talking about for so long but has yet to materialise. Looks like we’re going to China again though a different part. My parent’s just love the senery there, dunno why. Oh well, that’s better than nothing at all. Hope that this time it becomes a reality instead of staying just a plan.

Today: supposed to meet nic for lunch cause we both dun have lunch today and it’s be followed by another session of talking i guess…

it’s Fry-day!

desiree — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 10:57:17 +0000

i fried prawn crackers today!

these are how it looks like before being fried...

then it grew...

...and grew...

till it became so fat!=P

pretty fun=) never fried stuff before so was pretty shocked when all the oil started spattering around. It ‘grows’ super fast, takes just like 9 secs to ‘blow’ up…i made a video just to prove this…erms but i can’t open it…lols so just settle for the pics ya=)

i dun wanna grow up!

desiree — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:41:00 +0000

Char and i were just chatting and somethings she said reminded me of myself. I tried my best to console her and all when at the same time i also know that these very words are also those that i often tell myself yet am unable to make myself feel any better. I hope they do make char feel a little better though…
Ya sometimes i know i may seem a little weird to others cause maybe i just dun reveal enough of myself for people to truely understand me. Or perhaps I’m just too difficult to understand at times. I tell some people lots of stuff yet i can’t exactly say that these people know me inside out. So maybe there really isn’t one who truely understands me. As i grow older my protective coat grows too, I no longer tell people every single thing cause i’m more cautious and sensitive to how others perceive me to be. Yet i also know that if i dun reveal, how can i expect others to understand? it’s a dilemma and i’ve yet to find a way out…
i dun initiate convos be it on msn or smses cause i’m afraid that i’ll be imposing and may irritate the person. It’s not that i dun wanna keep in contact or that i can’t be bothered, it’s just that i’m afraid of offending, of irritating… I cherish every friend that i make but sometimes i really can’t get wat people are thinking so i may act a way that others may misinterpret. It’s especially so as we all get older and are better at masking ourselves that it’s so difficult to distinguish the real stuff from facades and lies. Perhaps it’s just a process in life we all have to go through and live with. I’m not trying to say all my friends are lying or are creating facades, dun get me wrong cause i’m still struggling to grow up and learning to face the changes in and around me…
i think i’m thinking too much again as usual…nothing better to do. That’s why i try to be as busy as possible, keeping my schedules packed and all so that i won’t have to time to think about all sorts of rubbish. Call it the escapist attitude or watever you wanna call it but it really works. Yes,It’s not healthy but it’s my best solution so far=)…

eq test

desiree — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 10:53:31 +0000

Your EQ is 147

You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.

You are warm and open. Even when life gets you down, you’re unafraid of the world and its challenges.
You are comfortable with who you are. And you accept your weaknesses – as well as the weaknesses of others.

While you are quite stable, you don’t respond perfectly to every bad situation that comes up.
But you have enough emotional intelligence to know when you need a course correction.

What’s Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

the crazy week…

desiree — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 09:57:17 +0000

it’s been a long week.lots happened…both good and bad

firstly, i’ve started working. at a kindergarten. it’s so unexpected of me cause i really can’t see myself handling so many kids. but the week turned out well and i realised that kids can be really cute and sweet and likable too=) Then the problem came. My parents agreed to another job offer on my behalf. Rahness….shan’t go into the details cause there were some arguements and all and too many details which i’m too lazy to type out. So basically i’ve got 2 jobs now and i’ve to reject one. So there was all the deliberation and all, i decided to stick to the kindergarten and here’s when 2nd prob surfaced…I dunno how to reject the job cause a relative went thru all the efforts to get it for me and now i’m gonna reject it. it’s some distant relative somemore, i’ll seem like such an ingrate….=( But i’ll still have to do it csuse i love my job at the kindergarten. It’s so satisfying and all the hardwork put in is so worth it when you see the kids settling down and getting used to the new environment.especailly the new kids who are like only 2-3 yrs old. they’re super cute!

And i got a tuition job. Everything’s ok at first but the shock came when the mother found out that i’m not 23, full time and experienced in teaching just like wat the agency told her. I couldn’t believe that they’ll stoop so low just to get the $110. But the mum didn’t seem to mind just a little upset that the agency lied that’s all and she still let me teach her daughter. Then the second shock came when i realised that her daughter’s so weak in all eng, maths and science, all of which i’m supposed to teach. And her mum expects me to create a miracle just by tutoring her kid 3 hours a week.=( If i could do that i wouldn’t even need to go on to uni, i can just go on teaching already la! Well, so in the end i called to tell her that i’m not experienced enough to help her daughter even though she was really nice to let me teach in the first place but i really couldn’t carry on cause i really don’t think i can do much for her…i did the right thing i guess but that’s how i got and lost a tuition job all in a week’s time.lols

I’ve been really happy these few days. Crazily high is more appropriate i think.hahas….and i dunno why either. It may be the kids or maybe it’s cuase i’ve more or less sorted out some matters that’s why. I haven’t felt so stress-free for like weeks that this feeling’s like a stranger to me…i haven’t been so happy for ages i guess. hope that it’ll stay though…i’m sure it will=)

‘love isn’t enough. That you have to cherish the people you love, that saying I love you isn’t ever enough, that you have to show that you love each and every day, even when life threatens to get in the way….”The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while their alive.” ‘ ~from the book ‘the other woman’
