Busy weekend.
Okie. I shouldn be typing this in e afternoon when I have to finish my RM tutorial.
Went to watch CSS alumni choir concert with Ax on sat after my Farrago. Being lecturer for e 1st time, though e class only consist of 2 students, it was okie. My students are very hardworking. Though i feel abit redundant la. Hmm.. should ve a talk with e instructor. Seriously, but it is quite distracting for me when I have to wait for e instructor to finish what she is saying. Hmm.. Then, went to watch concert. While on e bus, me and my student was chatting. I realise how active they are. The HI. He is not e first one who tells me that he hike, dive, do trialthon.. Woah.. I mean. HOw i envy them. Alot of "David" hor.. *Kahhui, this not bad also leh*Hmm.. they are my inspiration. Need to plan already. Diving.. in June. Too bad, I cant go Mt Kinabalu..I heard e scenery there is awesome. I will go there so day. Perhaps next june?
O ya. Digress ..digress. So, e concert at Waterloo St. Back to e old place. Went there b4 in 1998. Went to watch my Idol -Jimmy. Wah.. it's like.. 7 yrs ago. I remember I was still a young gal then. The CSS concert was okie. NOt terrific good. But, I guess they put in alot of work. Nelson really inspires us alot. From Batches to batches of CSS choir students. Not that I no longer have any passion for singing but like wat i tell AX, i simply don ve e commitment to it. I rather commit my time to other things. I gave my best to it for e past 6 yrs. I pursue my dreams n yep.. It's enough. The songs they sang, remind me so much of the past. From "Chao yuan qing ge" to "Take these wings" to "Flying Free". Songs after songs that some how make u feel nostalgic. The times i used to sing with Qinlei after school to kill our time. How we try to harmonise..
Then, on Sunday. I went to do Flag Day for Tsunami at Clarke Quay. My YEP group decide that we should do as a team. All right. I went. I drag both my feet.. haha.. hate to do flag raising. Anything but FLAG DAY. "begging" for $. put on my best smile. It's been a long time since i do FLAG DAY. Cos everytime, I will just "siam". In e end, I went to Chinatown to do. It was flooded with people yesterday. I went to 2 location. E first one isn good. Was at e downstream so most ppl already donated. After break, me and Qingyu went to e other location. Wah.. That is a terrific location. I managed to feel 3/4 of my tin.
I feel that I already do my best. *grinz* My frens finish 2 tins. WAH.. but mine got lots of notes leh.. but compared to Jason. 2 $50 notes.. ! *kow tow* haha..
Din get to eat my tutu kueh.. haiz.. cravin it for like.. weeks. Anyway, went to Hans to eat my dinner with them. Super full. Damn it. Waste my morning jog again. haiz.. sorry. Cant help cursing.. I am unable to work it out la. Durian, my rojak.. haiz.. =(
Have a weird feeling recently. Hope its not coming true. You will not do this to me right?

Projek Muhibah
My 1st visit to.. tata.. to a.. 1 room flat in Toa Payoh. They were always sayin.. how bad the place is.. how pathetic is the old people over there.. hey.. the truth is..
is true. I mean. erm.. the old man's house was totally in a mess. I mean real mess. Bedbugs on e bed. luckily there is "filmitation.. "wat.. e.. i mean.. "de-buggin" in e morn.. b4 we enter into e rm. Ashes.. black substance on e floor. It was dirty. Much much dirtier than vietnam. seriously.. I tried to scrub e toilet floor once. then, Mag. scrub it again.
after 4 - 5 hours of our effort, we managed to make e place "livable". Ma-hesh paint e living rm only. while, e others.. clean e floor, windows, toilet. Basically Anywhere that is not clean.
I think i felt a sense of satisfaction after cleaning the house.
jus to side-track abit. hmm.. today. the whole grp of volunteers.. are special. They look hip. hmm.. i nv c such hip volunteers b4. Ear-studs.. funky hairstyles. sporty looking..
then.. to my surprise. I realise that they are groups of lesbian. n gays.. hmm..
just to clarify. I am not taken aback that they have such preference. Jus surprise that almost 70% of them are not straight. Well.. hmm.. interesting.
I suppose anyone can volunteer. haha..
glad that I'm able to speak bit.. bit of Cantonese .. n Teochew. Finally, I can show off my Teochew n Cantonese. haha.. Though.. I know cant speak fluently.
One point. I realise that e old folks over there are quite optimistic. They also appreciate ur help. which i think .. actually we do very little for them.
After today, I know that I will hav no excuse for not cleaning my house. *sigh*
Before the cleaning job.. Gettin ready. I look real short! =(

Hi Singapore! 2005
My third Amazing Race in 2 mths. This is the most tired one. Cause i ran in e rain, in e sun.. wash drenched.. n dry again. Haiz.. getting unfit. But, I think i enjoyed it. My team was the second last during lunch. Well, but we did it. We managed to race it through. Esp... the Toa Payoh Station.. wah. cool man.. we did it. in 5 min. Think we are super lucky la.. but.. bit of cheating.. chey! haha.. anyway, after Toa Payoh.. NOthing could stop us. haha..
Well done, juniors. The effort was definitely worth it ya. Esp when ur "ur boss" spent nights.. doin work for u. After the tedious run, went to Marche to join my Team dinner. my YEP dinner. celebrate Sharrel Bday.
Then, Liping fetched me home. Wah.. i was like.. "eh, my legs seem like detach from my body" super.. super aching.. think.. cos..my whole foot is wet in my wet sport shoes, my sole is like.. very nua.. very disgusting la.. damn it. my pretty new shoes.. got stained.. cos of the muddy, rainwater. Haiz..
Anyway, Nice sunday to start with.. in 2005.
cheers..
From the beginning..

funny
Went to Serene's house to do acc. Then, went to watch "Meet the Fockers". It was funny though not really that that funny. Lots of sexual jokes. Lame ones. haha.. suddenly have a crave to watch comedies. Perhaps i shall just watch Kung Fu. Have a crave for sushi too. Have a crave for a run. Have a crave for a book too.
After the show, Liping n Huijing were saying how things have change when they come back. How feelings for another have changed. For me. ok.. NOthing much changes. I feel happier. More contented with my life. More positive. I can feel the usual me again. Hope going back to school won't make it bad ya. I am still positive about it.
Lists of things .. just keep going. Thought i be quite free, looks like not really. that's good. nvm i shall make full use of my time.
O ya. Huijing say i look sad during the whole expedition. Really? I don think so. But i think i think quite alot. Perhaps that explains why is my face like that. haha.. well, then my resolution for this new year is to smile more n be more positive n happy.
I hope everyone arounds me will feel the same way too. Don't worry be happy.
Going out to have dinner with someone (unexpected invitiation). hmm..

Back from Vietnam
duh.. haha.. Hihi.. I'm back. Surviving. Yet, e next day, i was down with a fever, diarrhoea, cough, flu.. u name it, I've got it. haha.. sleeping.. for e past few days to make up for my lack of sleep for e past few days in Vietnam. It all started from e day we cleaned up our room till 5 am in e morning after e sharing session (cryin session). Then, e rest of e days, i jus sleep at 3 or 4 am (plus an hour in Spore time). So, in total, i only sleep like.. less than 10 hrs in e past 3 days.
I am totally cut out from e world back in Vietnam. Actually i knew that there was an earthquake but i din't know that it was so serious. I should consider myself very lucky ya. hey hey..
This vietnam expedition, hmm.i din do much service over there. Cos I'm e FRAPP team. The before n after trip.. preparation.. n post trip. HOwever, it makes me think alot. perhaps..i ve got a whole lots of time to think.. nth to do.. no tv.. no mag.. only nappin time. . which all of us have it.. after lunch. ..
seriously, u feel like a pig over there. or rather like a cow.. when u have to eat the viet food.. e whole pile of veg in front of u.. phew~ i grew fat again. Sad..
all my efforts have gone down e drain. Well, not to be too despaired.. I will work hard when e sun shines again.
the most meaninful thing i've done in this trip was e home visit. Which I am glad that I am given this opportunity to visit Hien's home. Hien is five years old and she is profoundly deaf. she looks like a he though.. haha.. from her family, i realise that education is not a given but a privilege. As there isn a sec sch for deaf in e district, she is not given e chance to learn even if she wants to. It's really hard to describe .. I heard from Dom that only e living room is renovated, back at e kitchen is jus concrete four walls. Nothing else. They work from 7 to 7 pm. Throughout the week. No time for social activities. Time means money.
Thuan An School
This is the most discipline school that i've ever been. The students are always in twos. And they are super super friendly. They simply just grab ur hands when they see you. I am shocked by their "friendlyness". i lead one group durin a game. And the whole team really shows appreciation for u. I only stay there for 2 days. but, the their "re qing" really touched me. I cried when i left.
DCS
i vaguely remember e day we leave the school. Cause i have very little interaction with them, it's only e second last day, that i play games with some of them. And on this last day (before boardin the bus), that boy show me the hand sign (games that we use to play when we were in pri sch), perhaps tellin me to remember him. I tell u.. i simply cannot control my tears anymore. I will miss him.
Xmas eve
spend a special xmas. Had a few rounds of beers. Sini was busy drinkin (due to bad mood).. haiz... serene was high.. i was.. okie. bit tipsy.. yet we play games till 3 plus.. we sang, we dance, we play.. it was fun..
haha.. to my gals, i really met e 'one'. Ghostie his name.(let u c his pic next time) Simply intrigued by him. hah.. e more i look at him, e more i think he is cute.. hah.. esp when he smile. cos of his crooked tooth. A man U fan. reminds me of my younger days.. =P
summarise
Think before u act. Do your very best. Maximising what u have. Care n share. Sometimes, learn to put down ur pride.
