I am back from my work at the motor road show.
Well, it is really a great experience. Or great experiences.
My SIM friends- Yun and lin are working at the pass issuing counter and Jo is working at the information counter. And I'm working in one of the booth selling silicon wipers.
It is really fun, you get to meet different types of people and being asked questions.
I met my friend who is a car dealer there too! And knowing how much she earns a mth really amazes me. I'm so glad to meet her and we've agreed to go traveling again!
In life it is not about have a lot of friends, but a few friends whom you can share your life with.
And for the past 2 days, my boss drove me home! Heh heh, isn't it cool?
The best thing is his life experiences that I've learnt on our way back.
For someone who is a dropout from secondary school, to a top salesman in one of a leading company, to being an owner to his company. WOO!

Yesterday, Sherlin called me telling me she could do the Math paper and she managed to follow the time we had planned earlier! Woo! I've a feeling that she will get A* for her math!!!!! Yeah!
I'm going to get a BIG present for her!!! Hmm, what shall I buy??

It's such a great feeling to see her grow from cute Pri 2 girl to a mature girl now!

This is a story about my 3 tomato plants- "to", "mat" and "o". Yup, the names are quite not creative but if you can think of something better, let me know. They are 4 months old and I've see them grow from a seed to a 15 cm tall plant.
Well, they are my favourite plants as they always are strong and grow very fast.
Every morning, I'll never fail to water it and talk to them.
Then the fateful day came.
On saturday, I decided to re-pot them into a longer new plastic pot which I'd bought few months ago. Dad helped me and we spent around 1 hours to transfer them into their new house.

On sunday morning, when I was doing my morning visit to see my plants, I was shocked to see a puddle of water on top of the soil. Thinking that it was the heavy rain that caused this, I did not think much.

Then on monday morning, the same thing happened and I could see some of the leaves withering! And as I was rushing to go out, I thought it must have been the heavy rain that caused it. And that at night, it will be fine

Last night, I decided to drain out some of the water, and was shocked to see lots of water stuck in the pot. And guess what I discovered???

THE STUPID POT DID NOT HAVE HOLES UNDERNEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hOW IS THE WATER GOING TO BE DRAINED OUT????
Omg!!!! How can the stupid company sell pots without holes underneath!!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt so sad that I'm losing them. Last night, I placed them in ICU (With my baby aloe vera) hoping that they will be ok today. But they still looked like they are not going to suvive. Haizzz... I felt that I have killed them. No, maybe I should sue the company for attempting to kill my plants!!!!

2006-09-21T18:42:00.000-07:00

It was a tough time for everyone yesterday, cos my aunt had passed away yesterday morning. And I felt guilty because initially I wanted to go to the hospital to see her yesterday.

Last night, almost all my relatives turned up for the funeral and initally I did not have a courage to see her because it was all so sudden. The last time we met was during chinese new year and she was all so well and happy.

And yesterday a mixture of feelings set inside me. Guilt, sadness and pain. Guilt because I feel that I did not put in my best to try to know my aunt in the past, sadness because of her sudden departure, and pain after seeing my ah ma looking sad.

I going to treasure everyone around me more, esp my Ah Ma. Love her lotssssss!!
I'm going to tell mum to invite her to stay at my place and I'm going to buy all the nice foodie for her!!!!!!

In times like these, I really feel happy to have a united family.

And dear all,
do take note if your family members have high blood pressure k??
And inform them that if they feel the following symptoms:
numbness on their limbs, blurness of sight, unable to walk straight, feels difficult to get up from the chair etc. They must quickly get to the hospital to do a body checkup, because all these are tell tale signs of stroke!

2006-09-14T07:23:00.000-07:00

Things happen for a reason, and sometimes things happen when you least expect.

Since young, I am quite close with my extended family (Uncles, aunts, cousins and Ah ma). And today I just received news that one of my aunt is hospitalised due to stroke. She suffer from blood clot in the brain. And I think she's in the ICU now.

Although, she's the one who is most distant from us, I was really stunned to hear such a news. And little did I know that she had high blood pressure.

It makes me feel how vulnerable life is and how we often take simple things like good health for granted.

Hmmmmm................

It makes me think about how I often do things that harm my body, such as eating at irregular timings due to tuition and school, not exercising enough etc.

Dear body, I promise I will take good care of you!
And I must earn lotsa money so as to take care of my family too esp my Ah ma!!!!

Dear everyone who reads this, please take care of your body! It is the closest and dearest thing you have when you are alive!!! Remember, cut down on white rice, white bread, fatty meat, oily food and processed food!!! Eat more brown rice, wholemeal bread , lean meat, vegetables and fruits!

Hope my aunt will recover soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm so glad MR project is done!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!
I less task to do!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can concentrate on gaining weight, exams, my dearest PSLE students and sleeping more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It's you who make me stronger
I need you more than ever
You're the reason why I'm singing for you
It's you who create the wonders
In all my days of struggles
It's your love that surrounds my whole world"

You Are 15 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

2006-08-20T07:09:00.000-07:00

If GOD can grant me ONE wish,

all I could ask for is PEACE...
I wish there will be no bad temper in this world.
I wish there will be no fighting in this world.
I wish there will be no arguments in this world.

Is it too difficult a wish??

Why can't people learn to control their temper?
Why can't people learn to speak nicely?
Why must they resort to shouting and causing hurt to others?
Why can't they use their brain to think before spouting hurtful words?
Why can't they think for others?

I must work hard, then only I can leave these crap behind!!!

This thursday marks the first day of PSLE examinations for the P6 students. And it means something to me as I've 2 P 6 students!

Well, as I was walking home Sherlin's home, I began to think that I had actually taught her for 5 YEARS! From P2-P6! Wow! Yeah, it's like I have watched her grown from a chubby little girl to a lady who is taller than me now (By 2 cm.. hee). It is really an amazing experience. She is my first student and she is really one of the best student a teacher could ask for.

I am really proud of her!
She will always amaze me with her results not that she will always get full marks, but she will try her best during her exams.
Eg. Today she told me she had gotten full marks for her chinese prelims oral! And she was the only Singaporean students who had gotten this in her school! Haa! I mean I did not even get such gd grades before!
And she is a humble girl too, cos she did not boast about it, but told me it was due to gd luck :)
I really feel she is a girl with a high EQ!

Not only is she gd in her studies, she is the captain of her basketball team too! And she will always share stories of her basketball trainings!!!

Come to think of it, it will be about a month before her PSLE ends!! Woo! I believe she will grow up to be an amazing lady!!! Yeah!!

I really feel that children are so special, they are so real, as in they are just themselves and it feels stress free to be with them :)

Btw people, go check out this puzzle!! http://digicc.com/fido/
If u can figure out how it works, tell me!! Hee!

2006-07-20T08:31:00.000-07:00

What more can you ask for when you look like a cute present:

2006-07-11T18:47:00.000-07:00

That's because I'm going to learn wakeboarding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOoOooOOOOoo!! Haa~
I wanted to learn it all along.. and now I have people to company me and sim is offering a gd deal to the students. Yay!

2006-06-29T19:20:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

(Pardon me that the font appears very BIG, I just hope to get the message across) :)

I was helping my student to do some research on a topic of recycling that her teacher has gave her as her internet was down.

Well, all of us know that we should try to reduce using plastic bags and reuse them, but how many of us really know the facts behind why we should do so.

Just some facts I'd like to share,
Do u know Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Scary isn't it???

In 1999, the U.S. alone used 10 billion paper grocery bags, requiring 14 million trees to be cut down. 14 million trees in 1 year... EWWW!

Well, THE SCARY FACT IS THIS, like me you might think RECYCLING can fix all these right??
WE ARE WRONG!
Recycling rates for plastic bags are extremely low. Only 1 to 3% of plastic bags end up getting recycled.

And guess where do all the rest goes to Third world countries like India and China which are rapidly becoming the dumping grounds for the Western world's glut of recyclables.

What can we do??

Reuse all the plastic bags.
Use high quality resable shopping bag instead
Each high quality reusable shopping bag you use has the potential to eliminate hundreds, if not thousands, of plastic bags over its lifetime.

Well, I am going to start using reusable shopping bag from today onwards! What abt U??

2006-06-26T20:18:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, go and take a look at this http://www.gatesfoundation.org
Bill and melinda gates' charity foundation. Wooah~ I'm really amazed by this, 2 people with the capabilities of changing the lives of thousands for the better.
It amazes me that they have made a fortune and give it away.
Will I be able to do it too?

2006-06-23T05:21:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends, Read this...

The Quarter-Life Crisis by unknown
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.
You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

How many of you relate to this article??

2006-06-15T06:54:00.000-07:00

I wish people would be more tactful with words and think before they talk.
I wish people would be more positive.

The world will be a nicer place. Don't you think so?

I must work hard towards my dream!!! Jiayou!!

Argh.. Hate to feel this way!! It's been a long time since I feel this way. Shucks...

Anyway, I have recently created a mini garden outside my house!
The family members are

Dragon fruit plant (Tell you a little secret: A flower seems to be blooming!! Woo!)

White orchid (I love this! It is simply a beautiful art piece! I'm amazed how God has created it! And the 6 flowers will bloom for 2 months!!)

Pandan Leaves ( Don't you belittle this plant! It can chase away the yucky cockroaches and bring fragrances to your rice and green bean soup! Yumz!)

Unknown Plant ( Well, I am still trying the find out the name of this plant! Ha~ It was a baby when I bought it and now it grows at a speed of 2.5cm / day! Amazing right! I even put a ruler beside it! Haa~)

Aloe Vera ( This plant has been with me for the longest and it is a survivor! )

I'm so in love with them now! And I plan to bring in new family members to this little garden of mine! I will take pictures of them once I get back my camera!!!!!!

Woo~ The Taipei photos was stuck at the other comp and it is down thus I can’t post it online! Argg…
Anyway, June is the month for getting in touch with old friends. Sec, Jc, track friends etc.
Had 2 gatherings last week and 2 more is coming up! Miss 'em!
Woo~ Well, I had a BIG accomplishment this week! That is I’ve finally tidied the whole house0 which includes clearing all the clutters, repairing all the broken stuffs, donated away useful but unused stuffs, recycled things that can be reused, clear all the dust mites, and make space for the coming big plans ahead for me! Ha! And I love Ikea—but kind of tired of eating meatballs~ Ha.. Cos the only veg they have is potatoes!

Anyway, I came to realize that I spent 1/5 of my life starting projects and never ended them. It’s time I end what I’ve started! Jiayou to myself!!!!

2006-05-19T02:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the very overdue post on Hong Kong! That's because after my hk trip was my exams and then two days later (on 10 May to be exact)
I flew to Taiwan!!! Ha~ Just came back few hours ago!

Goodness, Hong Kong is just a paradise for all the foodie and fashion lovers!
A note of caution: It is very detrimental for your wallet though~ Ha

HZ had arranged to fly there on a Tiger Airways promotion and I flew with my cousins- Quan and rui, rui's bf (HZ) and HZ's 3 friends.

Well, I woke up at abt 6am and took and bus 53 to changi airport where there is a free bus service to the budget terminal!

I could still remember the excitement we had! It was our first time taking Tiger airways and I'd heard a number of reviews of it! Ha~ Lemme share mine:

Pros: The plane had very friendly crew and the best part was we could take a photo of the pilots in the cockpit. Ha~ And the air stewardess even chatted with us!The Price of the air ticket was slightly cheaper than SQ so if you are on budget, do consider taking it! =P

Cons: There is no free lunch in the ~~world~~ plane! Not even H20! Ha~ So do take your meals before boarding the plane unless you wish to pay SG$8 for a choice of nasi lemak or lor mai gai. And bring sufficient water to the plane otherwise it would be SG$2 for a bottle of mineral water!Also do remember to bring your own entertainment on board! Well, for me it was my com law textbook!! Ha~

Beautiful scene from the plane!

Have u seen such a fat packet of potato chips?? Hee~

We arrived in Macau 3 and 1/2 hrs later and was escorted by a pretty policewoman to the harbour to hk.

Hk is a very assessable country and you could get around most of the places by MTR. They have very clearly labeled maps at the stations and friendly people to help you if you are lost.

Our hotel:

We stayed at BP international hotel which was near to Jordan Mtr station

It is very well located as it is near to the night markets and shopping centres. Ha~The hotel is very clean, comfortable and has very efficient staffs!
We stayed in a Family Room which has 2 double decker beds. It was one of the best hotels I ever stayed. :)

The 5 of us (excl a couple) stayed in the room and we split the cost of $250 per night. WOuld stay in the hotel next time!

Day 1: Checked into our hotel and went to temple street for dinner and to walk walk. This is the place where we had our dinner~! The dumplings soup is very delicious!

We also found a mango dessert stall (Xu liu Shan) which is very famous in hk. It was very delicious and there was like 50 types of mango desserts for you to choose from. WOo~ right?And in hk, you can hardly find supermarkets but you'll find plenty of 7-11! Every 50 steps you will find one!

At night we went to lan kwai fong & xin guang da dao and where it's very similar to our esplanade. Nice scenery and you can find celebrities hand prints on the floor!

Day 2: In the morning, we went to a dim sum place for yum cha. Well, the harkau was delicious and the others was quite gd too. Well, I guess yum cha is something everyone has to do when u are at hk!

Then we went to the famous -- woman street (Nu Ren Jie). It is a place of shopaholics but the shops kinda repeats themselves after a while. You can find nice imitations and cutie stuffs there, fans of hello kitty and sario characters will love the place. I bought an orignal little twin star bed sheet set which is very comfortable for abt SGD$8. Quite a gd deal right? Btw, for men, do look out of this stall selling men's clothing that is located at the end of nu ren jie. It has very nice topman kind of shirts selling at a fraction of what topman is selling! Ha~

And for snoopy fans (like ME), you will find a charlie brown cafe near the end of nu ren jie too! Love the cafe!!! For foodie lovers, do remember to try their beef horfun and smelly beancurd (cho doufu)!! Very Yummy!!!

Day 3: I stayed in the hotel to study while they went out for breakfast. And they came back with fried dumplings and porridge for me! Let me tell you, it was simply the best porridge ever. SO smooth and juicy! I heard that they actually boiled it overnight! So It is not to be missed!!!!!!! After that, we left to macau to catch our flight back to singapore! If you ever go macau, do remember to buy their egg tart and seaweed egg roll! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!

P.s: Be prepared to experience gd service from the people there! Give 2 thumbs up for their work attitude!!

Tips for traveller:

Bring a friend who can speak cantonese, it will be of some advantage esp when u're bargining! ;)

Hi!!!
I'm back from the wonderful Hongkong trip and from the not so wonderful exams.
This trip was organized months ago and initially I had thought the exams would have ended just before the trip.
And guess what, the trip is just one day before my biz stats exam! Ha, but I continued with the trip, on one condition: that is to study on the trip!

Pictures galore! Day 1 (29 April 2006)- Part 1

At the budget terminal with dearest quan and rui:

Pros: Clean and easily accessible place

Cons: No ATM machine and limited food selection

I'm going to give 2 thumbs up for the new revemped sbs transit site!

It used to be a friendly and useful site for people trying to get their way around Singapore.
And now it has gotten even friendlier and more useful! Ha~

Go try it!

It allows you to plan your journey by telling you which buses to take.
And you can decide the method of journey between : Shortest Travelling Time, Shortest Walking Distance or the cheapest fare!
Isn't it cool?
And it will even tell you the travelling time!
Ha~ So no excuse of being late! (Yup, that's for me!)

And it even has a QnA panel, whereby qns like "Why does the Bus Captain drives so slowly?"
is being answered. Well it does not help the next journey to be faster, but at least they make an effort to answer. Right?

So 3 cheers for the webmaster!!! Ha~

Countdown: 3 days to Hongkong trip!!!!!!!! Woohooo~

I was feeling stressed recently due to some issues that happened in my life, mainly my student and some relationship issues with my relatives.

#1: My p6 student whom I'd started teaching early this year has not been improving much and she has the hack care attitude towards her studies. I tried to change her attitude cos I don't want her to follow my footsteps. I really believe that every child is special and with the correct help they will be the next superstar in whatever field they choose to go. I don't want them to be happy with just a mediocre way of life.

Solution: I msged her mom that I plan to stop teaching her and my apologies twds her. Cos I feel that if she can find a better tutor to help her, why not?
To my surprise, she called me back and asked me to continue teaching after I told her my concerns. She said she will not blame me even if her daughter goes to Normal stream cos she sees improvement in her and that she will support me if I need any help. I was so touched her and I promised myself that I will not give up on her no matter what!

#2. Well, the problem that involved my relatives was kind of a blessing in disguise and our relationships got stronger and I'm so happy that I have cousins who love me dearly!

TO conclude, I learnt to appreciate life experiences and the surprises that they give!

And now I need to get back to my books! I must do well this round!

Life is a learning process!

Well, Life has been pretty enriching these few days! Meeting my clients (Haa~ Must sound profession mah), learning the skill of dealing with people and learning lotsa stuffs!!
Well, yesterday shared with my aunt about the detox program and I'm surprised that along she has been reading up lotsa books and shared some knowledge we us too! And I was v happy to see my cousin too, been a long time since we met (abt 1 mth, but we missed each! Ha). Can't wait to embark on the hongkong trip with her! :D

The art of dealing with people
Well I guess one of the rewards of this biz is that you are "forced" to learn to deal with people effectively! That's something I hope to improve on :)

Reading Books
I'm glad I love to read books cos I often find many surprises in the books! Recently, I'm into eating healthily and thru my readings I've learnt the amazing fact that eating raw food ( veg and fruits ) are much much better than cooked food! Because after cooking them, the veg and fruits will lose their emzymes and part of the vit and minerals! And eating raw food long term has anti ageing effects too! Ha, so for all those who wanna look forever young do try it out! :)
