Bodycombat

Met Alvin in the morning and had Mcdonald's breakfast. Arranged to meet Esther at the somerset gym to go for a workout. Attended the Bodycombat class. Been quite awhile since the last time i went to the gym. It was a great cardio workout. Was on the treadmill for awhile before we showered and went to walk around Orchard. Got a blue t-shirt for $6 at Cineleisure. Walked down to Wheelock to have Sun with Moon. Ordered Yakiniku kamameshi and warabimochi. Went to Far East Plaza next to find my white tube top for the peach dress I bought earlier on. Managed to find one for $5. Met Jinsen for dinner at Sushidon. Walked down to Esplanade and enjoy the night breeze by the Singapore River. Had quite a good time. =)

Nice accent

Went to Bugis today to check out the shops. Bought a small pentel pen that is in the shape of an orange crayon...super cute. Saw Mark Zee at the Voodoo doll store (photo above). He was asking if I needed help. Like his accent, the way he speaks english is very pleasant-sounding. Didn't buy any in the end cos even after discount it costs $12.50. Met Alvin and walked to Midlink Plaza for mixed fruit ice. Decided to go to Suntec and along the way had Tom Yam Seafood soup at Ah Loy Thai in Shaw Towers. Turned two capsules with mini Sylvanian figurine for $2 each. Reached home quite tired and took a short nap.

Catching up

Been some time since I last saw Peishi (amk) so decided to arrange for a meet up with Yunny. We met in Tampines as Yunny had to go for a short meeting and Peishi had to fly in the evening. Went to Sakae Sushi for lunch and had coffee at Ya Kun. We went to take photo-stickers. It's been so long since the last time i took such stuff...feel like sec sch again..haha. Bought 2 dresses from Century Square for $50. Hope to catch up with sec sch people in december for a gathering.

China Trip with school

Below are some of the photos I've taken on the trip to Nanjing, Suzhou and Shanghai:

Bought lotsa stationery and books too! Love the bags there...got 5 LeSportsac...of cos not real...hehe but the quality is quite good. Love the shopping!

Met Jiahui for dinner at Sakura. The food is quite nice. Took photostickers too...haha.Went to Metro and found uzabikin gashapon. Super cute! Bought 3 and we went for coffee at Yakun before heading home around 9pm. Went for a haircut at Jean Yip for $28.90. Feel much cooler now.

Met Jiahui for dinner at Sakura at Compasspoint. The food is quite nice. Went to Metro and found this gashapon machine with uzabikin. Super cute! Bought 3...cannot resist. Had coffee at Yakun before heading home around 9pm. Had a haircut at Jean Yip for $28.90. Feel much cooler.

Cooking Mama

My fave game in Nintendo DS...gotten a few gold medals for cooking some dishes already...not in real life though...haha

So cute!!!

My new digital camera!

Managed to get this camera with a case for $357. Much cheaper than the IT show which has the similar one for $399 without case.

Shrek 3

Met Delong at Harbourfront MRT for Shrek 3. He managed to get free tickets from his sis but we had to sit in the first row. The movie wasn't as lousy as some claimed...quite funny. I like the part where Gingy was frightened and pooped a small pink gummy sweet. So funny...
Here's the official website: www.shrek.com
Went to IT show at Suntec to help Dad get a 2 GB thumbdrive. Bought a Toshiba for $28.90. A really good deal. Will look for digital camera tomorrow in Sim Lim Square as the selection isn't alot there.

Karaoke

Went back to school for work planning with colleagues. After we're done, we left for Serangoon Gardens for lunch at Sushi Tei. Went to K Garden for a session of singing and had a fun time with Waiyin, Tiong Bee, Yan Han, Melissa and Jeremy. Didn't know Yan Han could sound alot like Andy Lau, while Tiong Bee could sound like Zhang Yu...simply amazing. Sang all the way from 2+pm till 6pm. Met Yahti at AMK for dinner and catching up. Supposed to meet at 630pm but Jiahui was held back by work. She arrived only by 8+pm. Felt quite sick by the time i got home so took panadol cold and went to sleep.

Nintendogs

Sis got her nintendo ds yesterday...she bought the white one and there are 23 games inside. She had a nintendog...and decided to let me have one too...mine is the golden retriever. Quite a smart dog...learnt 3 tricks already. Quite interesting. =)

Disappointment

Tried the new Aji-tei in Plaza Singapura yesterday...there were quite alot of people but managed to get a table. Ordered the small salmon don ($3.80) and tried the claypot clams...ordered the curry fried cuttlefish but the order was really slow...almost wanted to cancel the order but they have already prepared. The dessert warabimochi didn't have any honey sauce unlike sun with moon so it was quite bland..it also costs more 4 pieces for $5.80. Won't visit that place again...quite disappointed with the service...asked for a spoon and the waiter didn't even understand me...totally ignored my request...haiz...

Results

Saw cane marks on one of my p2 boy's arms and leg yesterday...he didn't pass his English and Maths SA1...no wonder his mother caned him...quite poor thing...although sometimes he doesn't pay attention in class...but felt quite bad for him...must have been very painful. Surprisingly, my p2s had 100% passes while my p4 is only 75%. Sigh...how to help the p4s? Anyone can tell me?

2nd meeting

Met up with Don for dinner as parents are out and home's not cooking. Went to Wheelock's Sun with Moon and I tried the Chirashi Don. Quite nice. Tried milk tea ice-cream after dinner at the stall outside NYDC. He sent me home soon after as there's no where I wanted to go.

Central Sun with Moon

After school, went to Central's Sun with Moon with my colleagues: Beryl, Waiyin, Karn Nee and Waiyin's twin sis, Waihan. The interior is much smaller than the Wheelock outlet but there's an outdoor dining. Ate the Yakiniku Kamameshi while my friends ordered Salmon and Oyster kamameshi. Of course didn't forget to order Warabimochi...my favourite. Went to the Japanese store to get Mothers' Day gift. Bought a white chocolate biscuit. Went to meet Don who contacted me from Expat Singapore. Had tea before he sent me home.

P1s...aren't they cute?

Helped Sis buy the dark pink japanese blusher for $7 at basic beauty. Bought a mcdull hp accessory. The ladybug one. Nearly bought a dress from Toss for $25 but in the end decided against it. Met Celina briefly too.

Central

Went to Clarke Quay to check out the new shopping centre called Central. It has a logo that is similar to an arts school. Some of the shops are not opened yet and there wasn't alot of people. There is also a LevelOne similar to Bugis but there are more shops here. Saw the Sun with Moon outlet but couldn't find any ATM so couldn't eat there. There was a stall selling donuts and the mini ones were quite nice, tried the maple and original ones. 12 for $4. Headed down to Wheelock to find the Max Lucado's You Are Special book which the lecturer recommended but couldn't find it. Checked out at Kinokuniya and even Times but it is out of stock. Quite expensive also, Times selling it for $25.20. Try to get from Principal cos the lecturer mentioned that she will get 10 copies for the school.

Had Eel and clam kamameshi and also warabimochi at the Wheelock Sun with Moon. Couldn't resist the dessert. The sweet box didn't offer warabimochi so didn't order that.

Bought a new piano book Sonata 2 cos finished playing the Kevin Kern book.

Sharing session

Went to Hougang Primary with Kang Lee for a P1,P2 new curriculum sharing session at Hougang Primary school. Saw a few teachers at the sharing session and got the chance to see a p1 lesson.

Finished the sharing session by 6+pm and headed home directly. Met Yifen and Huili at the session too.

Getting the hang of things

Realised that if I reach school earlier, just slightly earlier each day, I can actually complete alot of things...

For instance, I've already completed next week's weekly plan (quite ahead of time) and I'm now planning revision materials for my p2s...as I've already finished the textbook stuff with them and just completed the activity book with them today.

For P1s...think they need more time to digest what they are learning so giving them slighlty more time. My P4s are still as noisy as before. Tried to get them to write composition today but they are still making noise as they are writing...don't understand them...sometimes, I wonder if they are humans at all ( i know this sounds mean, but I can't help but wonder, especially when they thrive on getting scoldings from their teachers all the time)...another student actually dared to complete his Mathematics homework right smack during my chinese lesson yesterday...confiscated his book and told his Maths teacher about the matter. He's gonna get it from her too...serve him right...how dare he do such a thing during my lesson!

Flu bug attack...yet again

Down with flu again...think never really recovered from the first one that's why...feel quite terrible but dragged myself to school as there's reflection before lessons.

In the end, after a few colleagues' advice, decided to leave school to see the doctor upon getting the principal's approval. Heard that today alot of teachers are on sick leave...up to 10 in fact.

Think the weather is really lousy, causing alot of people to fall ill. Took medicine and went to sleep. Feel so drowsy.

Never order noodles again

Tried prawn noodles from the canteen today and soon when I was having my p2 lessons, my stomach started feeling pain...it's like the churning sort where you won't feel like going to the restroom.

It was horrible and I had already arranged to meet up with Jiahui. We managed to get a table at Sun with Moon...and I tried the Sukiyaki...the soup was very sweet but the serving a bit too much. Ordered the warabimochi too...really love it...

Shared a cab home and it was only when the ointment and medicine was taken that I felt much better.

Mental note: NEVER to order from that stall again...even if it means I have to starve! I'd rather die from hunger than suffer the painful torture of a stomachache!

Sick again

Went to the Hougang Polyclinic to see a doctor cos woke up to flu symptoms and also sore eye. Waited for quite some time before I saw the doctor and got my medicine. Went home for lunch and then took a long nap. Took MC to rest at home.

New hairstyle

Getting sick of my hairstyle so decided to go for a haircut after school today...went to Jean Yip as they offered the cheapest out of all the salons I've checked in Compasspoint.

The guy was quite fast and in the end, the result was quite good. He even washed my hair but didn't charge it. Went out with Fu Rong and his friends for a late night movie at Marina Square. Caught "The Reaping"...it wasn't nice at all...the sound effects were deafening. Went for a drink at Mr Bean before heading to Jalan Kayu for prata. Intended to catch the sunrise but his dad needed to use the car so had to head back.

Sushi Tei

Had to reach school by 710am as they are conducting the NAPFA test at Hougang Stadium today. On duty as the starter and need to take note of the students' time as they finish their 1.6km run.

"Baked" under the sun for almost 2 hours. Despite having applied sunblock think, still gonna get 2 colors. Had CCA till 615pm then met up with brother Josh for dinner.

Went to Serangoon Gardens for sushi at Sushi Tei. Noticed that the chefs didn't really put effort in making sure that the sushis on the conveyor belt looks presentable and appetising. Most of the sushis weren't even cut evenly...quite sad to see such lousy standards offered at a restaurant.

环岛追追追

Arranged to meet Furong at Funan IT mall...managed to get the printer ink and have lunch at the food court before heading off to our next stop.

He drove his family car which was quite a small car but extremely cute. We headed off for Sim Lim next as I wanted to find OCR programme. Managed to get one and also find a brown leather pouch for sis' ipod nano for $20.

Headed to Vivocity for movie next. Managed to get tickets for 《Music and Lyrics》 starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. Quite a nice movie with catchy melodies and songs...really touched by the song Hugh sang for Drew "Don't write me off". The lyrics were simple yet told their story as a couple together. Here's the official website: http://musicandlyrics.warnerbros.com/

Tried Japanese grill at Shin Kushiya restaurant. The food was quite nice with good ambience. Decided to check out Sentosa by driving through the island...quite a fresh experience for both of us...surprisingly, we found a small driveway that gave us a different view of the water fountain show. Besides having the laser show with the water fountain, they've added fireworks to the show, making it quite spectacular...However, I prefer the water fountain show before they added the laser show...think it's how the water moves with the music that was mesmerising, instead having characters and some story going on with the laser.

Had Teh tarik craving and went to a indian muslim store. However, somehow the drink made both of us have queasy stomach. Think it's not hygienic...hope the uneasiness goes off soon.

Had quite a pleasant sunday...looking forward to the next trip out (prob to IKEA Tampines).

Printer ink mystery

Somehow, just when we needed to change our printer ink, the extra packet we bought have miraculously vanished into thin air...

Remembered that I placed them in the cupboard but after searching through it, still can't find them...

Quite frustrating especially when both sis and me need to print our work...

Books galore

Went to Bras Brasah with Mum and sis cos sis needed to get Redspot's 10-year series. Managed to find some chinese children storybooks for my kids. Hopefully can claim through the fund provided by MOE.

Found a shop that makes textured paper. Can design and get them to custom-make stuff too. Like journals and invitational cards. Walked down to Suntec next. There was a Bodyshop sale where Mum got most of the stuff. Only got a cosmetic bag that's khaki color ($9.90).

Went for Piano lesson and got 3 pieces of textured paper from the scrapbooking shop. Took bus 36 to the airport to fetch Dad before heading home. Real tired by the time we reached home around 11pm.

Bus breakdown

Thought could reach home earlier as I caught the bus once I've reached the bus stop but the bus (service 88) broke down near to Punggol Primary stop. The bus driver couldn't get the ezlink machine to work and most of us couldn't tap our cards as we alighted the bus to wait for the next to arrive. A colleague decided to walk home instead of waiting.

Upon boarding the next bus, we were told not to tap our cards but when I alighted at my stop, error message occurred. Have to make a trip to the top-up counter to get the refund. So troublesome >_<

Almost losing voice

Sore throat is one of the worst nightmare of all teachers...almost lost my voice after my lessons and had to visit the doc after school today (after 7pm). Long queue waiting and i haven't even had dinner (waited till 850pm for my turn, was the second last patient before the clinic closed)...Didn't get an MC as there's lots of things to be done in school...hope my voice returns to normal soon.

So soon

1 week is almost over just like that...March holidays are over sooner then i expected but at least i got to rest and relax.

• Monday: spent time with Mom & sis, getting stationery from Concourse for my students (in advance) Buying in bulk is cheapest there.
• Tuesday: Tapdance make-up practice (whole day in sch)
• Wednesday: dinner with colleagues at Poh Sing Chicken Rice restaurant
• Thursday: P1/P2 sharing session at Holy Innocents' Primary with Celest and Zhiyong. Met Huili, Huiru, Mengmeng and 3 other NCPS teachers there.
• Friday: Shopping and catching up with Yunny and met Jiahui for dinner. Been a long while since my last "shopping marathon"...

唯有小小的遗憾，没有上健身房 =P

Lobster

Half a day at Hougang Stadium gave me a brand new look: "lobster" *_* Feel so "toasted"...
Efforts put in with the cheer-leading team were rewarded with the trophy. =) Blue Hawks go!
Yellow Eagles clinged the overall house champion. Green Osprey (2nd), Blue Hawks (3rd) and Red Falcons (4th).

CA1

Just finished marking my students' CA1...p1, p2s results are quite ok, with a student getting full marks for p1, and p2. My p4 results are more worrying...the lowest got 10/50...wondering how i can help them...*_*

P/VP observation

Had my first observation in the school by the VP today. P was supposed to observe but was held up by a last minute meeting. The VP came by and asked if I wish to wait for another day or have her to observe. Of course, I didn't want to waste the effort I've put in preparing. However, I'm already in the midst of the lesson.

Luckily, the pc worked (first time using with the class, heard from other teachers that the pcs here can be quite cranky) and students were relatively well-behaved. The boy who has behavioral problems was actually able to stay in his place and not walk around...whew. However, the VP still felt that the kids could be more disciplined. Some of the boys started rocking their chairs and were scolded by the VP. Need to have more groupwork for the next observation though.

Felt so tired after yesterday's NE trail rehearsal and today's observation. Need to give myself a break before planning for next week's lessons.

Joke of the day

Was teaching my P1s 汉语拼音, telling them “dei” （得）很少用。This adorable boy, who's always very responsive in class shot up his hands quickly...thinking that he has something to say, I let him voice out his thoughts. To my amusement, he actually said out loud: “tey o”..almost couldn't control my laughter with the rest of the kids...=D

Hugzzz

Was in the canteen to get lunch when I spotted one of my p2 students...she greeted me warmly from afar and before I knew it, i felt a hug coming from behind...she actually rushed over to give me a hug...quite a pleasant surprise.

Teachers' Investiture Ceremony

Managed to apply for UPA to attend my graduation ceremony with my parents...Glad to see both lecturers from the CL dept, 翁清海教授 and 吴英成主任. Took photos with them, Dr. Vilma (YEP) and my parents. =)

Blackout

Was packing my bag when the power supply went off. Managed to call the Sg Power who contacted the town council essential maintainance service unit and they were quite fast and efficient; within an hour everything was back to normal. Quite impressed.

The Secret Garden

Kept recalling a melody playing in my head which resembles their music...went to their official website and found quite alot of information:
(Sample clips of their music)
http://www.secretgarden.no/fs_sight_sounds.html
Have yet to find the name of the melody though =P

Stranger Than Fiction

Interesting plot where the novelist actually meets with her character in real life...she couldn't bear to "kill" him and the tragedy ends up a comedy.
The official website: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/strangerthanfiction/
Finally the skies have cleared...appreciate the warm sunshine.
Thanks Grace for arranging this meeting.

Dealing with loss

Bye 老姑

New beginning

Reported to the new school this morning for briefing and meeting by the senior teacher, Mrs Chow. Met the Principal and vice-principal. Apparently, the VP lives near me (opposite Hougang Point).

The first impression of the school I got was that it was huge...and I mean really mega-school...the corridors are similar to HGPS but the four blocks of building are quite tall. Wondering how I'm gonna "fly" from one class to the other when school term begins.

Managed to leave the school by 1pm. Decided to go shopping in town, Delong gamely accompanied me. Was quite hungry so went to Sushi Tei and he gave me a treat cos he was late (again). Managed to borrow several Jimmy (taiwanese author) books. Walked over to Far East and got a good deal: 2 knitted blouse for $29.90.

Took the bus back together by evening time. =)

*Managed to find out that he was the one who's "santa claus"

Miracle baby

Celebration of Little Miraclers' Nursyadzrah 1-month thanksgiving feast (cukur rambut) at Rosman & Siti's home. =)

Papa Rosman, Ibu Siti, Baby Nursyadrah, me and girl

Ibu Siti, baby Nursyadzrah & me

Feeding time for baby Nursyadzrah

Mysterious sender

Received through mail the book I was talking about a few posts ago《可不可以不要上班》
First time in my life have to guess who the sender is cos the person wrote down "FROM: YOU-KNOW-WHO-I-AM"...how i know? （=_=）
Proceeded to decipher handwriting...not Hao ma leh...my next guess, Jiahui...unlikely, she'll normally pass it personally...final guess: Santa Claus / Santarina
Message for you: Thank you for the gift...it's really funny! (^_^)
Do reveal your identity if you chanced to read this ok?

12 Dec 2006 to 18 Dec 2006

Hotel Phoenix High tea

Met Yanxuan, Sam and Peishi to have high tea over at Hotel Phoenix Garden Cafe. Thought that the hotel was located at Dhoby Ghaut at first. It's actually over at Somerset.

There wasn't alot of food selection. But we ate till we were quite full...there was a queue for those who didn't make reservations. There was a newspaper promotion, 1 for 1 that's why there were alot of aunties who came for the high tea.

Took the bus back home and actually dozed off on the bus.

Grandma's birthday buffet

Went to Grandma's house to have buffet lunch to celebrate her 90th birthday. Met Ah Xiong kor kor's son, Zi Ray...he's quite adorable...keep smiling...and he resembles a little white rabbit!!! Haha...

Sheerin's wedding

Went to Sheerin's wedding over at Little India. Met Suzana and Rosman...Rosman mentioned that the Surin trip was the most wonderful experience he ever had...quite touching to hear that. Sheerin commented that I've lost quite alot of weight.

Went to Plaza Sg quite early...around 2+pm i was there waiting for my lesson at 5pm already.

Sushi Buffet

Met up with Yanxuan and Shuixian over at Kovan Heartland Mall to have the sushi buffet over at Sakae Sushi. Used our student passes to get the student price of $13.90.

Managed to find the swimming cap for the hot spring trip. Find it quite pointless actually...but since it's under $3 for one just get for each of my family.

Nice evening

Met up with Dave at Cityhall around 625pm to walk over to CHIJMES to try out SUN. Prefer the decor over at Wheelock Place though. Ordered Unagi and Aragi Kamameshi...the serving was a little too big for me to finish...also ordered warabimochi for dessert.

Walked over to Esplanade and was treated to a free harp performance. Went to Max Brenner cafe and tried the Suckao...quite a unique container and the metal straw was also quite special.

Took the long bus ride home with Dave and got home just before 11pm.

Corrinne May

Saw the tv advertisement about Corrinne May's Christmas album...her voice is really nice and really suited to sing Christmas songs. Visited her website to listen to the songs...http://www.corrinnemay.com/safe/flash/index2.htm

Japanese food

Met up with Grace for lunch at Sun with Moon over at Wheelock Place. Tried the unagi bento and mushroom pot set. It's the first time i tasted soup so thick and starchy...quite filling also. We also ordered the warabimochi and also the tofu cheesecake.

Went over to Wisma and Takashimaya to look for clothes. Didn't manage to find anything we like. Walked over to Paragon for tea over at the Japanese Soba restaurant. The fried Hokkaido smelt was quite tasty. It's quite a good deal for the japanese tea as it's $5 with a dessert and drink (before service charge that is).

Couldn't resist getting an intensive eye treatment over at Green Sanctuary. There's a 20% discount due to the festive season. Intended to meet up with Karan but he was so caught up with work that we didn't manage to meet. Went to Sushi Tei over at Takashimaya for dinner. There was quite a crowd and had to wait awhile before they gave me a counter seat.

Met Dave briefly before he went off to meet his uni friends. Will be meeting him next thursday for dinner in Cityhall.

Novena Square Jackie Chan Sports Club

Met Celina in Novena to go to the gym, the layout of the gym was rather small, with only 2 studios, one for the normal workouts and the other for the cycling studio.

Wasn't really motivated to use the machines, perhaps it's been awhile since i last visited the gym...there wasn't any classes to attend as well cos the trainers were attending a course.

We left by 4+pm and checked out the shops in Novena Square. There wasn't much to see also. Decided to give Karan a call and we met up in Bishan to get coffee at Coffeebean. Afterwhich we had a late dinner at Jalan Kayu before he sent me home.

大扫除

The past few days have been spent cleaning up my room...there's so much stuff yet so little room!!!

The dust also made me sneeze like crazy, slowing down my packing process.

Till now, there's still a few boxes of things i need to sort out but really getting sick of packing...need to take a break before starting again.

Yanxuan's wedding dinner

The day has finally arrived...my first NIE classmate's wedding dinner. Arranged to meet Yifen and Wanjun at Serangoon mrt station to go there together. Waited for Jianming and Huili at Harbourfront station before walking over to 88 restuarant together.

Sam and Corinne were among the sisters' at the reception. Managed to view the wedding photos before going to our designated table. A pity Peishi, Shuduan, Yuanlin and Mindy weren't present or the whole NIE class would be there.

Before the dinner started, there was a slideshow sharing the couple's moments and we guessed that Yanxuan must have been the one doing it as there's some resemblance with her presentations during our NIE days...=P

As usual, Liyin started cracking jokes and we kept laughing throughout the dinner. When it was our turn to take photos and offer a toast to the couple, we actually shouted "yammmmm suannn" instead of the usual "yam seng" but had to do it twice as Yanxuan didn't catch it the first time round. =D

Staff dinner

Was pouring heavily in the early afternoon when I received Joslyn's call that the class server training time has been brought forward...had to rush down to school and was drenched a little.

After the training, went home to change for tonight's dinner. The theme was "Madhatter's night" so had to bring a hat...borrowed one from sis but didn't really need to wear it.

Took the school bus with most of the staff there. It was a buffet-style dinner at Sijori resort in Sentosa. Awards were given, some teachers were sabotaged to go onstage for the games and lucky draw conducted. Managed to reach home before 11pm as we alighted at Compasspoint before the school bus went back to school.

《Helen The Baby Fox》

Watched this touching movie with sis today...the plot is fairly simple but the bond shared between the boy and the baby fox was so strong that audience will be easily moved.

The baby fox cannot see, hear and even bark initially. So the boy, Taichi names it Helen, after Helen Keller, the first blind, deaf and mute woman who was able to communicate using the sign language. Helen responds to Taichi's devoted caring efforts and begins to strive for live, in spite of her frail body.

Scenic and picturesque Hokkaido served as the shooting ground of the movie...breath-taking scenes especially those with flowers were my favourites.

Quoteworthy scene:

Vet: “你会写辛苦的辛吗？”
Vet:“加了太一 (boy) 的一，就变成幸福的幸。”
Vet:“是太一带给海伦 (fox) 幸福。”

The official website: http://www.helen-movie.jp/ but it's all in japanese...

Love the ecards: http://view.greetings.yahoo.co.jp/greet/bd/kogituneheren.phtml

New hairstyle

Been some time since I intended to go for a haircut, but due to work can only arrange to go today.

For the first time in a long long while, I couldn't really bear to part with my long hair.

Quite satisfied with the results cos the hairstylist was quite skilful. =)

Holidays are here!!!

Besides the students, teachers are also in a good mood as it's finally time to enjoy the well-deserved break...

Although I did relief teaching for most of the final term, have grown attached to some of the students and I'll miss some of them.

Next week there'll be some meeting and training but at least for this weekend can relax. =)
