So tired so tired...

Basically, I treat the coming week as the last week of my practicum. After next week, I am not going to give a damn about everything. I'm simply too tired to carry on. If the professors in the DED module ask me again what kills the passion of teachers. I will not say parents and pupils.

But its practicum and the freaking workload. Practicum kills the passion of most teachers I believe.

Even though I "traded" some lesson plans with a few of you, I simply cannot use them at all because my school have their own I.T programs that I need to incorporate into my lessons.

I have to freaking start all my lesson plans from scratch. This is exceptionally tiring. Feel like giving up sometimes. *Sigh*

Next week is gonna be an extrememly tough week for me, and I hope everything will go smoothly and hopefully can hear some good news.

Till then.

My shoulders are not so strong.

Last Friday was supposed to be an important day for me as my Supervisor and CT will be observing my lesson formally. I already felt very stressed and tired becos of the super-heavy workload and the 24/7 working routine. I work 7am to 7pm almost everyday and after reaching home, theres more marking and lesson planning.

But the day became SHOCKINGLY IMPORTANT to me. I received a phonecall from Mum at 4am in the morning, saying that my Dad was admitted to TTSH and waiting for operation. I literally jumped out of bed, prepared myself and rushed to the hospital la.

I was worried sick for my Dad, but also very worried about my observation. Hai.To cut things short, observation was carried out smoothly and currently my Dad is still in pain - the after effects of the operation. For the past 2 days, I slept less than 5 hours each day. Morning, visiting. Afternoon, home to pick up siblings and visiting again. Night, send mum to work and visiting again. Middle of the night, pick mum from work and send her to the hospital.

I feel so tired and drained out, both physically and mentally. Today is Sunday and I have not done a single lesson plan for Monday. The stress bug is here again, and Dad will be discharged today too. So there are too many things for me to do. I am so fucking screwed and I really detest my life now.

I have to worry about work, and have to worry about Dad. I even have to worry about my siblings, because they simply cannot think properly. How I wish they can grow out of this irritating phase soon.

For the following weeks, I am not sure how I am gonna handle the work and stress from both sides. I will need to bring dad back for occupational therapy, as well as changing his dressings in the polyclinic. I have to clean his wound everyday too.

Fortunately, somehow I am farmiliar with these. I can totally understand the feeling of going to the polyclinic to change dressing and to clean wound everyday. So at least I know how Dad feels, and make sure his wound remains clean and not infected. Hopefully his wound can recover completely soon.

My shoulders are seriously not so strong afterall.

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for giving me the power to carry out the lesson smoothly last Friday. I pray for the power to stay strong at this phase of my life, and I pray that your healing hands will be upon my Dad and Mum who is not feeling well too. I pray that you can grant power in my siblings for them to understand the situation and do the best they can for our family and their studies. I pray that you can grant me concentration so that I can do well in work and lastly, good health for everyone in this world. Amen.

My virgin drive!

I had my first attempt in driving on the road without an instructor today! But of cos Dad is around just in case I kalang kabor in the mid way.

Mum, Dad, The love and myself were in the car so I feel a little scared at first since I am responsible for 4 lives! So for the first try I drove to our neighbourhood market so that we can have lunch, and most importantly the journey is super short la... everything was smooth and I managed to try out real parking without poles! Hehe!

After everything we went home of cos... after I successfully parked the car and have turned off the engine, Dad said "On the engine, now you driving to Telok Blangah to fetch sis from her tuition."

I was like... "WHAT THE!?!?!?!?!?!" Here I am finally sighing with relief that I have completed his test but to realise there was a bigger test coming up!!! Immediately I recalled the way he taught me swimming when I was young.

When I was about 6 years old, he brought me to the worst oldest swimming pool in Singapore (at river valley area). The walls of the pool is not tiled at all, you can see raw cement with algae growing out, and the "drains" were full of mosquitoes. I was crying when i saw the pool la, but dad pushed me into the pool and commanded me to swim to the finishing point. Of cos I cried harder and ask him to come save me! But he say I can only come up when I reach the finishing point, so I struggled and "thread water"... finally reached the point, and realised that's what swimming is all about.

Ok, out of point.

So my moral of the story is the way he teach me a skill is always very straight to the point and harsh. The love and I were in shock when we realise I have to drive along the expressways (which is like darn dangerous and scary for me can???). But dad insisted I start the engine and leave. Argh!

But of cos its good! Unknowingly, I've conquered places like Suntec and Vivo! I can drive there le! HAHAHA!

So, eventually I decided to make the best out of it... Jiayou! Some pictures of my virgin drive today! Haahaa!

The Love and I before the start off...


Anxious but still have to pose for cam...


Adjusting my mirrors...


Almost ready...


Leaving my home!


Waiting for the pedestrians...


Turning into Benjamin Sheares bridge!


The love actually took a video of me without me knowing!!! Arghhh! But its good la, can save it as a momento! Haha... my first Benjamin Sheares attempt! Please pardon the radio and the stupid sound that I produced near the end of the video when a car suddenly appears beside me. BWHAHAHAAHA.




From Geylang to Telok Blangah, we took the Nicoll Highway, Benjamin Sheares and ECP (is it correct? I haf no freaking idea hahaha).

From Telok Blangah, Dad told me to go by CTE so that I can get more exposure to the roads! We took the longer route so as to let me feel more and to learn la... After CTE we went out through Moulmein then McNair area, then Kallang, and finally back home!!! I must say I learnt a lot through driving long journeys like that!

A great start for 2007

24th January 2007 - A wonderful day that I will always remember!!!

Why? Because I fared well for my DCM Microteaching! Received many positive feedbacks from classmates and tutor. Definitely lighten my burden for the day!

The 2nd and MOST IMPORTANT thing is.....


I PASSED MY TP!!!!!!!!!



Haha! The boyfriend and I passed our driving tests on our first attempts!!! There were actually 14 (including us) testis testees for our time slot. But I was shocked to see only 5 of us when we proceeded to watch the video (only those who pass will watch).

So its like, 9 failures and 5 passed. The bf and I were in the lucky 5!!! Haha... I am very happy now! CNY can drive lo~~~~~~~~

I would like to thank:
- Those of you who sent me good luck sms-es and telling me not to be a kancheong spider.

- Xin, who took the effort to make me a card wishing me good luck for my Microteaching and TP. So sweet rite? Hehe!

- Eve and Marie, for advising me not to get any points in the circuit.

- My DCE tutor, Ms Jessie Png, for announcing to the WHOLE CLASS that I am taking my test and giving me so so so much pressure (can you imagine if I failed and I have to face all of them?????????). On the other hand, its the pressure that made me very determined to pass too! So its a blessing in disguise!

- My future mummy-in-law, who helped me lots lots with my Microteaching materials the day before till 12 midnight, and prayed hard for the 2 of us to pass our TP.

- My Love, who helped me with the Microteaching materials as well, and continuously tell me we will pass and holding my hands firmly all the while before the test.

- God (is a general label for me, you dont expect me to type Guanyin Niang Niang or Da Bo Gong or Jesus rite???), for answering my prayers and blessing me with the luck of smooth traffic and the power of overcoming every stages in the circuit with zero points.


I'm now a qualified driver!!! Time to go buy p-plate lo!! *megawatt grin* Viv is a happy girl!!!!!!!!

However, I am sad because the pretty IC photo that I have prepared cannot be used!!!! That person said it is too red!!!!!! Walau sian... end up went to take instant photo. Looks like shit lor. Duh.

Just another entry

Sorry for not blogging for almost 2 weeks... Its too cosy at home with the DVD marathons, nice food, and my bed. I've practically been slacking at home, meeting up with my peeps during the holiday i.e.

Settlers day with Xin, Silvia, and Christal.
Alleybar chill out with Michelle, Claudia, Xin, and Christal.
Going to Wanyu's place for some girly afternoon.
Dinner with Karen just before she moves to KL for work.
Xmas celebration with Xin, Silvia, and Christal.
Xmas celebration with Eve, Wanyu, and Jasmine (hereafter named The Girlies).
BBQ at home with my loves.
Mahjong session with the girlies.
KTV session with the girlies.

Not forgetting my hectic driving lessons as well as my Kickboxing sessions that I am estatic to say that it is finally over.


Rounding up for 2006 seems a difficult task for me as I have forgotten what really happened. I'll just write down what I remember la...

At the beginning year, there a terrible thrash out with one of the friends whom usually hung out with the girlies. I was disappointed things did not work out, but I am glad after such a long time I managed to at least go back to talking terms with her again. Even though its always hi bye. There were times when I was looking at our old photographs, listening to some emo songs and I immediately have the urge to tell her I just pray all the best to her in whatever things she do. But somehow after I express myself I am held back by her sorta cold replies. But at least there was some talking. It's good.

During Feburary, an event marked a significant milestone of my 23 years on earth. I managed to perform @ The Esplanade for the Accapella, Choir, and Sing & Strum which simply means my Solo piece. It was also a night of pure happiness and touching moments because most of my friends came to support me (they have to pay for the tickets somemore), and most importantly, My Family & My Future Family (the Love and his family la) all came! Can you imagine my love and gratitude towards them? All of them, sacrificing their time and coming down to support me. It certainly made me feel loved. =)


Oh ya, The Love and I actually booked a chalet to celebrate Valentines Day. It's super funny because there's only the 2 of us, which we have made a pact never to do such a silly thing again. It's seriously boring and pathetic to see other big groups bbqing together and us 2 small fry cooking some food. Bwahahaha.

Us girlies had a chalet on the next day, so that I dun haf to go home and come back for chalet again. Just move next door. Haha am I smart or wat. =D It was definitely a fun-filled chalet and it definitely brought us closer to one another. We had fun relaxing at the Jacuzzi pool, bbqing food, watching vcds (but end up falling asleep), attempting to eat marshmallows in chocolate fondue (but got bad sore throat cos of the burning chocolate), and eating prawns for breakfast (are we in the right mind or wat?).

The next big thing I can remember will be the Love's and my holiday @ Taiwan. This is the first time we did not go Bangkok (haha) and I'm glad we chose this place (even though Bangkok is still our favorite). Firstly there was no communication barrier, it is so much simple for F&E peeps. Secondly, the food there is damn nice la. Thirdly, we have experienced the world's fastest elevator that can shoot up to 89 storeys within 30 seconds (do your calculations) with amazing light show in the lift. Which means we have been to Taiwan's tallest building - the Taipei 101. Fourthly, we took a ride on the World's Second Tallest Ferris Wheel. It is super scary la, when we are stuck right at the peak and the cold wind gushing against our carriage producing the creaking sounds. Argh. But overall, it is a super memorable vacation.

Followed by Mel's ROM. The first ROM I attended and I am so touched by the pure and amazing love that Melissa and Lance share. So I was very gan dong that I almost teared when they said their vows and seal it with a kiss. Awwww.

It was my birthday next, with a nice celebration with the girlies having lunch and games @ Settlers before heading to Mac'Nonner to have a birthday party. Hahaha. Had a great gathering with my sec 4 peeps too, many attended so I had a good chance catching up with them. Not forgetting the Flaming Lamborghini they ordered for me as a treat for the Bday Girl la. My virgin attempt k? *Sounds so wrong* =P

Then my Teaching Assistantship. Though it lasted about 1 month, I learnt so many things from the teachers there, and I must say I am freaking lucky to have met my Cooperating Teacher, Mrs Ho. She is an angel to me. We joke, we laugh, we talk about new recipes for baking, we talk about what food to get for the party for my P5 class, we talk almost about everything. We go shopping for party stuff together and have Hi-tea. Bwahahah. Cute ya? She taught me many many things, gave me chances to practise before the actual observation, help to support a bond between the kids and I, most importantly, to include me in their activities (making me feel a part of them) such as the NE show. It's another first time in my whole life to actually bring a class to watch the NDP - especially the last in Kallang Stadium. So its super unforgettable. I shall stop talking about my TA for now, I can ya dah non stop about it k.

25th September marks our 6 years together. I thought it will be a simple lunch and movie affair but the Love has surprised me with another bouquet of Gerberas (one of my favorite flowers). We had lunch at Pariss and I really (I mean really) feast on their grilled salmon! I couldnt count how many plates I ate! Bwahahahaha. I bought him a Braun Buffel wallet since his old one is cracking. He got me the wedding dolls and said that we shall open it on our wedding day. Remember my pullips? Heehee

Another good thing I did in 2006 is that I FINALLY started reading. I mean fiction books. I hate fiction actually. For all my silent-reading periods in school I have been staring onto the same page of the thin thin storybook and day dreaming. This year I dunno why but I am kinda influenced by Eve and Jas. So I started on a novel and told myself I must complete it. I was surprised that I fell in love with the story. So that boosted my interest and I tried to borrow similar books for a start - Romance. Read books that are of my interest before moving to other genres la. Haa

That's about it la, the rest I have already mentioned it at the beginning of this post.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My resolutions for 2007:

1. Pass my TP test.
2. Get good grades.
3. The Love and I can earn more money, save up.
4. Hope for better friendships to fluorish.
5. All my friends and love ones in perfect health and happiness.

My wish

Dear Santa,

I feel so lonely and unimportant. I feel sad. I wallow in self-pity.

I wish I can have a bestie who reciprocates.

I wish I can have a bestie whom I can share all my happiness and sorrows with.

I wish I can pop over to my bestie's place just for a simple girly chat or rollin' in her bed with some magazines.

I wish I can have a bestie who can share the fitting room with me when we go shopping.

I wish I can have a bestie who will genuinely be encouraging in my times of fall.

I wish I can have a bestie who thinks I am important.

Not 5,6, or 10.

All I ask for, is 1. Just 1. Just 1 sincere bestie.


Lots of love and still waiting,
Viv

~ Charmyland ~

Yesterday was a disappointment-struck Sunday, I can find no kakis to go to the Singapore Expo with me! Bleah~~~ As a result, I missed the Adidas Post-season sale as well as the Loreal warehouse sale. *Sigh* It's not as if I cannot go alone... I do enjoy shopping alone! Just that for a warehouse sale, you definitely need someone with you, so that you can dig for the treasures and someone look after the stuff that u want... I'm sure you guys get wat I mean! heh~~ But I comforted myself by being a nice future daughter-in-law =D hurhur... I brought some stuff that I bought for my future mummy-in-law to my Love's place.

On my way I realised I can go chinatown for some shopping since there's a direct bus from their place. Woohoo! Thank God for that great idea! Suddenly dark clouds seem to disappear from my gloomy Sunday. Hiak hiak. After passing her the stuffs (and some chatting), off I go to my next destination!

Hopped onto a cooling double decked 143 and enjoyed my journey thouroughly. The 143 route naturally let me indulge in reminiscence of our old dating days (i.e. when I was still staying at Telok Blangah.), we used to take 143 very frequently, as we were town-crazers then. He will take 143 and meet me at my bustop, then we will go orchard to hang out. I certainly enjoy the simple things we did on bus - like holding hands, lying on his shoulder, arm against arm, chit chatting, and simply just enjoying the view. Awww lovey dovey.

It is not as if we no longer do all these, it is just that nowadays we always take the MRT. Just imagine the baby prams, the elderly squeezing around hoping someone will give up their seats, the FCs, the FIs, and the FMs all squeezing and squeezing! You tell me, how to romantic like that??? Duh.

Oops, digress.

I am so happy that I have a new-found-fav-haunt!!! Heehee, the shops above the Peoples Park Complex are nice! But I have my fav! It looks old and dirty, but it actually has tonnes of treasures waiting for charms-lovers to go unravel!!!

I love the currently-in-fashion gold necklaces paired with gold charms. Hurhur. But I was contemplating, because they are simply too expensive. The online ones are ex, the ones selling in the malls are ex. Any accessory that costs 20 and above is expensive to me la, which I definitely won't buy la.

So I was saying about this shop, its good because you can choose to DIY or the uncle will help you fix everything up. You can instruct him how you want it to be, or he may recommend how to arrange the chunks. heehee there are lots of retro charms, diamontes, and other miscellaneous decorative stuff that you can attach to your necklace. Above all these, they have quite a few types of chains you can choose from, gold, silver or even bronze and black.

Of course I will not give up this opportunity! I chose the accessories that I wanted, comprising of gold and mysterious black. Perfect for my girl's night out to hit town this coming Thursday! I've got myself a 3D mosaic heart, a super nicey cat with diamonds, and a jingling bell (perfect for christmas too!!!) Haha. I actually decided on 2 other charms to attach below, but eventually gave 'em up because I want a simple necklace so that I can match more clothes! =D

Below is the close-up picture of my charmy!!! Of cos it looks better in reality! Haha



This whole charmy baby for just $14!!! Absolute worth!

My Sunday is not that bad after all, isn't it? =)

Happy 74 Months!

Attended our 2nd kickboxing class yesterday. I was late again due to my usual wait-for-20-minutes-for-a-freaking-bus disaster! Poor Shuxin have to wait for me from 630plus till 715!!! The worst part is she was attacked by the commando-trained mosquitoes living in the shrubs at the CC entrance. I counted, and there were 9 stings! Sorry for being late, my dear. =(

After the HUR-HUR-HAA-HEE (kuai4 shi3 yong4 shuang1 jie2 gun4) front/side/jump kicks, punches, jex-es, and scissors (there were more but i forgot the names), I was literally relaxing myself by lying flat on the parquet floor while others are doing the crunches and stuff. Talk about lazing around... duh. Xin was such a sweetie to give me a box of Pocky after the class. Definitely brighten my day night! *Hiak Hiak*

Went to Bugis alone to collect some stuff from a friend, with the main objective of buying some dessert to prepare a surprise 74 monthniversary mini celebration for the Love. Cheesecakes never fail to put a smile on his face, and thick chewy fudgy chocolate brownies are my favourite! =D So I got 2 of them from TCC! Hurhur

I hurriedly took the train back to hall, hiding the ttc bag and the cakes in some other plastic bags of mine. After reaching hall, the Love was busy mugging, while I place the cakes in the fridge without his knowledge. The Love then decides to relax himself for a while by watching Survivor. We root the AITUS!!! HURHUR! He was very engrossed in the show, while I was waiting impatiently for the clock to strike 12. *Evil grin*

Stephanie was voted out becos of her undying love for homely smashed photos. What crap. She should have known big mouth doesnt help her in staying in Cooks for 39 days! Duh. The show ended and it simply means it's 12! Haha! With a strategic plan in my mind, I nagged at the Love for being stinky and pushed him to bathe. With my best-female-artiste acting skills, he did not get suspicious at all. So off he went for his shower.

I locked the door (just to prevent him from opening the door if I have not got things ready) immediately and started preparing the surprise. Clearing the messy table was a tough job, because I had to make sure I did not mess up his lecture notes, past year exam papers, and watever else.

Carefully, I arranged the romantic cherry-red tealight candles into a heart-shape formation. Then I placed the beautiful cheesecake in the middle (this is the proverbial smart-alec stunt, which you will learn about it later) so as to confirm the formation before lighting the candles.

Then, I started lighting the candles carefully and hurriedly. I was afraid the Love might come back anytime! Grrrr! I was pretty amazed by how the end product look like. The setting is so romantic. Heeheehee. Thinking that there's still time, I wrote a card notice poster what-ever you call it so that the Love will know at the first look what occasion we are celebrating. I blu-tacked the thingy to a pencil holder so that it will stand, and I switched off the lights.

OH-SO-ROMANTIC. A perfect ambience for lovers to fall in love all over again. I imagined how the Love will react after seeing all these, how I will him a big beary hug, or scream SURPRISE!!!!!, or plant a light peck on his cheeks. I gave a squeal in delight. hurhur silly girl.

After the hippoty-hop around the room, I realised the chocolate curls were broken becos of the intense heat from the candles!!! (remember the smart-alec stunt?) I actually forgot the effect on the cake! DUH. super angry with myself. I placed the choclate curls back onto the cake, then onto a plate and I lifted the plate high up so that the air-con is cooling it (just imagine statue of liberty).

It was then I hear footsteps approaching my room. I recognise the foosteps, and I'm sure the Love's back. I immediately sprung into action by placing the cake right in the middle of the formation, unlock the door, and hid behind the door (hoping he doesn't squash me to death with the huge strength when he opens the door). He opened the door, came in, and gave a loud and long WAAAAAAAAA. Teehee. A sense of satisfactory.

"Surprise! Happy 25th!" I said excitedly, and I felt very loved when I see his happy face and him giving me a big beary hug instead. Pure bliss. =) He whipped out his loyal Sony cam-phone to take pics of the setting. I am glad he loves it. Awwwww~~~

We took turns taking pics and the Love suggested we blow out the candles. The 2 of us happily blew the candles and I proceeded to switch on the lights. The Love and I were a little shocked by the aftermath. Hahaha (refer to picture below).

Despite the little hiccups, our 74 monthniversary mini celebration rounded off happily with the air of love in our room. I Love You, Eggs. Happy 74 Months. =D


The romantic set-up.



The Love and the set-up.



Me and the set-up.



Blowing out.



The Love was so happy the he blew with mega power strength. The Aftermath.
