Eternal torment: The Search

Thursday, February 02, 2006

Ok, before i start on what I did today, let me say I spent CNY on the beach. Well, that and feasting at Jalan Kayu. I've started to better appreciate the beach. But on thing's for sure. I ain't EVER swimming in Pasir Ris' waters. During a very very low tide, we could explore the muddy shore exposed. It was fascinating the myriad of sea creatures there! Saw tiny hermit crabs, prawns, normal baby crabs and best bit? Tons and tons of sea urchins! ARGH! Gawd, I'm so thankful I wore slippers man!

Wanted to catch Coyote Ugly but couldn't because my father went a wee bit mad...I'm just gonna convince myself it's work-related stress he brought back home. Goodness, i wonder if people actually realise that they should just stop doing that! But then again, I guess many of us have no choice. Time waits for no man.

I was supposed to return helping out on wed but I didn't get the notice. I felt so damn guilty! But I guess everything has a silver lining. I ACTUALLY completed Chapter ONE of my ____(lost count after the countless crash and burn attempts) novelle. Too bad I won't tell you where it is. :P

So today I sat in for classes AGAIN but only AFTER I finished testing the pri 2 kids. You WON'T believe how poor some of them are! I thought they would be better after a year but still. I currently have at least two dylexic students. Maybe more...
and one with speech impairment problem or something and of course one more ADHD. He's rather naughty but you know what they say...naughtiness duirng hcildhood is a sign of intelligence. Or maybe not...since I'm actually helping the slow learners.

I don't understand how the hell students can just come in NOW! For crying out loud- it's like FEB! Shouldn't be they be in from jan? Headache man! Not to mention the constant updating of data and stuff. Thank goodness for word's easy application. Or else...*rolls eyes*

Seriously, I think the school might as well declare itself as some international school. Why? They have china, mongolian, japanese, indian and an angmoh girl. Haven't had a chance to speak to her. I guess tomorrow I shall do so and find out where she is. The china born students actually get excited when one of them said he came from beijing. THEN the others started conversing in mandarin, saying stuff like, "REALLY?! I've NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE!" to funny stuff like "I like duck." -_-. Seriously. "I like duck?" Hmm...I totally don't see the connection here! Anyone care to come up with some theory to explain this?

Still, I can't help but look forward to it. The kids are extremely fun to be with. Not to mention energetic. Not to mention they are adorable, cute, polite, sweet little devilish angels.

If you read Mind body or something like that on wed, (it's the one that comes with ST), under myopia, there's a picture of one of my favourite students! :) He's so cute right?

Oh, I've started liking this band called Cold. Well, just ONE song of theirs. Different Kind of Pain. I LOVE it. I even sing it in the showers...well, i'm exxagerating of course. I sing opera in the showers but you get the message.

Tomorrow i have a dinner with my ex-classmates of G4C. Wonder how everyone is...Haiz...supposed to go Marche but now swensons. Oh well. ICE-CREAM! But I havne't even prepared any V-day things! Heck, I haven't even started the budget and stuff. Gawd, it's times like this that make you wish oprah's helping you. She's my idol!

Oh btw, I'm terribly upset Paheli didn't get the nod from the Oscars! instead I get Joyuex Noel or something like that. Oh well. At least Ang Lee's nominated for best director. Brokeback mountain nominated for best movie. I guess this year's Oscars are rather predictable. Except for a couple of close competitions like Felicity Huffman and Resee Witherspoon. Even I can't decide!

and can someone just mail John williams the bloody oscars already?! He practically won it already! Don't waste valuable airtime! I want to see the dresses! Yup, the inner fashionista in me is screaming to be let out.

Seems like feb 6 WON'T be the day results will be released. BUT results are likely to be out on 10 OR 13!!!

Shit.

Here's to hoping I can ace it. Oh and good luck to those participating in Chingay!
