G vs S

Gaming is the main problem that he has to overcome...
Shopping is the main problem that she has to overcome...

She dislikes it when he has gaming on his mind when they are out...
He dislikes it when she has shopping on her mind when they are out...

She was upset when he gamed on a date...
He was upset when she shopped on a date...

He apologised...
She apologised...

They have to work things out somehow...
But how???

SAM Fiction@love

Visited SAM with Alvin on Sunday...had a great time there cos the exhibitions were very interesting and it's more like pop art for the Fiction@love section...entrance was free as they were having some museum day or something...

Bought a book from the museum shop describing the art works and artists for this exhibition...we had a very late lunch as we were viewing the exhibits and also taking part in the contest that can win a nokia hp worth $838...just need to do a storyboard drawing of 3 pictures and submit there since they have all the materials u need.

Walked to Raffles City for MOS burger before taking the train back. Had dinner with 外婆、大姨 and 大舅's family together at 茂興 the Teochew restaurant at Keypoint. The food there is very nice and reasonably priced but the service is a little below standards. Can try out the 素菜, steamed pomfret, 水晶包 and the yam paste.

Beginning my working life...

First day reporting in school today...reached HGPS by 6:55am...talked to the vice principal and principal briefly. We were introduced to the school after flag raising.

Basically had to conduct relief lessons for 2 teachers, one being the HOD of chinese as he is on course. Don't know which classes i will have to teach and my permanent seat for now. So temporary I'm just like a relief teacher with a table in the resource room...

Taught Maths to a primary 3 class (kilograms and grams conversion) then let them play their own stuff. P6 was the class with alot of problems so just tried to talk to the 2 boys with attitude problem and let the rest do their own stuff quietly.

Went for a p3 chinese excursion trip to Marina City Park with 4 other chinese teachers and 2 parent volunteers...had quite a nice experience but was super tired...reached home only by 4plus, by then i was starving and felt faint...after my late lunch, felt feverish and sick...needed to rest before I felt better after dinner. Tomorrow there's no school as it's the school's polling day holiday. Going shopping and lunch out @ Orchard with Mum...yeah!

AMKSS Gathering East Coast BBQ

Down again

Had a slight eye infection last night and thought it will be fine after some eye drops and sleep, however, today in campus, it became worse, so i had to visit the Medical Centre in NTU to see the doc. Went during one of the seminar sections as the soreness and itchiness were getting to difficult to bear.

The doctor diagnosed that I have very sensitive eyes and it is not congevities. I have to take good care and not rub my eyes when something gets in. The best is to use eyedrops but I have to discard them once I've opened the bottle for 1 month.

As i was also suffering from sore throat, she prescribed me with a green lozenges that is very effective...got a slight numbing effect after i eat it but my sore throat is in the recovery state after 2 of it...

Had dinner with Yifen and Alvin...they got the chance to talk and find out a little bit more about each other...(Hao ma remind me to ask u abt the verdict...hehe) Walked around for awhile in Jurong Point before I got a cab back home...think was too tired, I actually dozed off on my way back.

Don't think I can go to the half day programme tmr in campus...something about health education...how to go when im not even in a healthy state? Have to give the SPCA visit planned with Shuixian a miss too...some other day gal ok? Sorry...

Beginning a new phase of life soon...

Received my posting last week and by 22 may I will report for work as a teacher.

For the past 2 weeks, have been going back to campus and visiting some sites which NIE has arranged for our enrichment course. Managed to squeeze in time for leisure too by going out and getting some shopping done. Perhaps the running around and late nights is taking a toll on my body, been having a sore throat and feeling quite lethargic these few days. Hope to recover soon so that I can be energized to start my teaching career.

Hope to see my ex-students soon...missed them...hehe

So much has happened...

Haven't been online recently as I've been going back to campus for the enrichment programmes...some are quite interesting but others are just time for me to catch up with my classmates...hehe...just came back from a secondary school friends' gathering at east coast last night...had a bbq and even though we can still recognise each other but so much has changed...in terms of what each of us are doing now and how we have become more mature...quite amazing to see the developments in terms of the person's character as well as the varied job scopes...

Had a very fulfilling and enjoyable time catching up. Will probably post some photos at a later date...hope to remain in contact with them in the years to come.

购物热

昨天约了伊芬到乌节路逛逛和吃午餐。我们先在Wisma Food court解决了午餐才购物。她想找一件连身裙,到了Wisma Isetan, 找到了一件粉红色的小洋装,很漂亮,价钱也相当合理 ($79)便买下了。要是我的身材有好妈那么好,我也会买。Hehe...本来在Pepperplus 看上一件上衣 ($22)但是没有我要的粉红色结果没买。伊芬则买了另一件上衣。

到了Far East Plaza, 一间服饰店正在进行促销活动,看上了一件短裙,蛮合身而且便宜 ($25 原价:$40+) 所以不多加考虑就买了。和 Vodaskin 同一楼,各几间店有一家新的Paperpeople。那里的小册子都有很漂亮的设计,黑色的ribbon 也很特别,但要看什么物品,有些较贵。买了三个才$1的小夹子。试了Tangs basement 的薄荷甘蔗汁,还挺清凉的。Sweet talk 的酸梅红茶不但酸又甜还使我整夜难眠。到了临晨3点多才睡。

5C in a gal

Came up with the 5C in a gal to be fair...hehe

1) Caring: Which guy wouldn't fall for a gal who is so caring and sensitive to his feelings? Guys need to be pampered too.

2) Compatible: It's better to be on the same wavelength in a relationship...although some say they don't mind having bfs who are not of the same educational levels but i think it will affect their communication in the relationship.

3) Cute: Kawaii des ne! Most guys do fantasize that their gfs are those Japanese anime characters...well i did say most and not all...with their huge innocent eyes and darlie commercial smile who wouldn't fall for cuteness?

4) Clever: A gal has to know when it's time to give some space for her guy before it gets too suffocating. It's an art...the game of love that is. Being clever at the right moments can help to sustain a relationship longer.

5) Considerate: Being considerate means being thoughtful to the needs of your partner...know when it is men's talk session, don't interrupt and in my case, gaming session, give him time. Consider it time for you to take a break and head out for chattingor shopping session with ya gal pals. Spare a thought for his feelings too. He is afterall human and not your robot.

5S in a guy

Read from Yunny's nickname in msn today: 5S in a guy - Sensitive, Sincere, Sensual, Sexy and Stylish.

Thought that sensual and sexy are similar so decided to change sexy to smart.

Here's my take on what it means to possess the 5S...

1) Sensitive: A guy has to know when his lady is in a lousy mood and takes the initiative to cheer her up. Being sensitive also means daring to reveal his feelings and not be afraid to cry when he feels like it. Of course not as often as a gal lah...hehe.

2) Sincere: A guy has to mean what he says...don't give praises and compliments for the sake of doing them. It is super fake and gals can spot the difference. Being sincere also makes us feel that we are treasured and not taken for granted.

3) Sensual: A guy with confidence and charisma is the most sensual to me. Of course we are not referring to his over the top ego but rather his quiet confidence that he knows what he is doing and what he aims to achieve. Charisma, however, i believe is in a person, either u have it or u don't. Something like creativity...cannot be taught.

4) Smart: Besides being street-smart, a guy has to have substance...without brains and all brawn is simply a himbo who won't help to keep a gal's attention for long...who will want the same poster boy when she can simply select new ones from a couple of fashion magazines?

5) Stylish: Although some people are not blessed with good looks however, knowing how to dress well will help take care of that. It will also help build up a person's confidence by knowing what looks good on you and what is simply a big NO-NO.

Well think that's about all I can write for now...in the meantime will think of something to write for the female side.

Desaru

Went to Malaysia's Desaru with my family on Sunday as my dad's colleague is getting married there and invited him. We reached M'sia by late afternoon and had the herbal chicken at JB before heading to Desaru. The journey was faster than i expected. There was only a small petting zoo and although horse riding was available there was only one very skinny horse and another pony so we forgo that. Went to the beach and the sand is very fine. At night we went to Sungai Rengit and to a school as the dinner is held at the covered basketball court. The bride is same age as me and the bridesgroom is 2 years older. The food was quite nice but it was quite hot.

This morning we went to the beach again to take some more photos before checking out. Bought some fruits along the way and had lunch before heading back to Sg. Didn't have the chance to shop cos Dad is afraid that there will be a traffic jam at the causeway.
