H²O falling from the heavens

"Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink"

Alamak~
i've been back for more than a month and up till now i haven't finish writing my Perth stuff...jiat lat ah~ Procrastination has always been a strong point of mine-.-;...i will get it written and posted... i promise!
One day...
Some day....
Not that soon....hahaha

Its been raining alot recently, don get me wrong, I love rain. I just don like sleeping in it or walking home in it when i am wearing jeans. Its hell on the material and it makes walking very tough. You try trudging into the house with wet pants and see what the adults do to you...

Why would anyone in their right mind sleep in the rain?
Well... back when i was at OBS, it rained: ALOT!
We ran in our daily 2.4km in the rain.
Climbed the high element stuff in the rain.
Canoed in the rain.
For goodness sake, we even flew in the rain! (The flying fox...hee)
The first night, it rained like crazy and the instructors refused to let us to sleep in the hall...so...what did we have to do?
Pitch our tents.
Where? In the rain of course!
So happens, my group pitched the tent in a 'swey' area.
The rain leaked in and water got collected at the side of the tent.
Which was where i happened to be laying my poor head. -.-; (Mind you, i had long hair back then and long hair collects more water...)
Resultantly i slept in a pool of water for about 2 to 3 hours before the instructors relented and got us to go sleep in the hall...
Why 2 to 3 hrs?
Well, i had gone into the tent wondering where the hack my watchmates were. Had sent quite some time looking for them before i gave up and tried to get some shut-eye.
I found out later that they were all in at the main building sleeping at the tables trying to avoid the down pour. shesh~ i guess it was their sleep at the building that caused the instructors to change their mind. Took them that long to decide...*bish!*
Anyway, that night, i was not only suffered from a bad back and stiff body...but because of my wet clothes, i landed up getting totally frozen...it was bloody windy in the hall...its a miracle i didn't fall sick.

All said and done, i appreciate being able to experience rain.
Its refreshing and reminds me of the days before i started studying...but thats another memory for another time...

Went to Marine Parade today.
Ran into Charlie on the way home.
He's still shorter than me.
Lalalalala....

Looking forward to tomorrow (ie. Friday)... i am really excited about the soci lecture ... i put quite abit of effort into the assignment...but it remains to be seen as to whether Dr Wong will call upon me to present my work to the class...oh well~

Tata for now...
Cheerx

Poetry : Congrats

I thought I was over you
My heart diagreed with my head
The beats were so techno
I had trouble breatheing
Much less forming a sentence
What the hack is going on?!

I thought I was over you
How can I be
When you keep turning up
Where I least expect
Oh hellfire and brimstone!
What have I done to be thus cursed?

I thought I was over you
Congrats
You were crushed.

I thought I was over you
I'll get over you
I know I will
I'm not the queen of wishful thinking
Am I?

Turn up the volume! ^-^

Five for fighting - 100 years

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I have come to like this song alot.
Not just because of the music but mainly because of the meaningful lyrics.
It is tailored to make those, who pay attention to the words, think about their lives and the way they are living out their days with respect to how many years they have already gone through on this 3rd rock from the Sun.
Considering that i am no longer between 10 and 20...*darn it i'm growing old Xp*...i guess i have to be more aware of how important the small things in life are.
It always the small stuff that make life worth the living yah?
That Sunday morning sunrise.
The commercial on television, last night, that made you laugh.
The blanket that keeps you warm at night.
That breeze that cooled you when you were running your 2.4km for NAPHA.

Every time i hear songs which i like on the radio, i will turn up the volume and 'lose' myself in the the beauty of the melody and meaning which the song holds for me.
Just like poetry and movies/stories, music allows us to have a chance to escape our current reality and go to a private place where no one can touch us. The place where we can be free from the constraints of life and take flight...even if its just for a few minutes.
These windows which give us the opportunity to break-away are very important in this day and age where we are always on the run to get things done and in an efficient/productive manner.

I thank God for the life i live...truely i lead a charmed existence ^-^

I finally got down to doing my assignments.
Sadly i have no idea as to how i should go about doing my maths questions.
My brain fails to comprehend the meaning of the words and numbers which form the sentence...and resultant sentences which make up the whole paragraph of the question i read.
I know i have to understand the meaning of the question so that i can solve the problem...but i kinda go into 'stand-by' mode when i come to a question which involves partial differentiation with respect to a firm and the amount of goods which the boss would need to sell in order to make the most money...yes~ one day we will all need to know how much every diary comany in singapore makes in a year...wow...that makes me so much smarter~ -.-;;

Tomorrow's another day... at least i don have to go to school ...heeha~
Cheers!

Full moon tonight...

Don't just exist...LIVE!

Today has been yet another day :)
I got to go out with Daddy and go to cell group as well.

Dad and i ended up at Seng Kang instead of the usual Taka ...good thing too, coz it rained quite a bit while we were out of the house. I have new found respect for the Seng Kang Library. The books there are not bad... the 'harvest' today was pretty good and i look forward to going there again with Daddy. ^-^

Mesage for Winnie:
i hope your able to remember my site address and get here :)
Don't forget to leave a reply and yr blog address ya?

Message to Parvy-warvy:
Why u want to give me your body?
i got my own already mah~ Heeha~
The words are lyrics from which song arh?
Are they even from a song?

My aunt asked me to compose some inspiring poetry.
She said it would be a good idea.
I would love to...but i feel i kinda lack a muse to help me do 'happy' composing...coz i usually write poems when i am very depressed or have some sort of genre to follow...if you have seen my previous works... well...i pray that i will be able to encourage some people with my next poem... provided i can even get it onto the computer... i need God to remove my writer's block and allow the river of words to flow from my mind to my fingers and bless others...all in due time i guess...XD

Still got sociology, ibm and maths work to complete O.o...Alamak~

Cheerzzy-weerzzy-peerzy-crazzy-me....Haha...full moon tonight...so i am looney all the way...lalalalala....might even turn into a woof...woooo~.... lalalalala

Beerz~ o.O

*Smack*...*bish*....

Hellfire and brimstone
What have i done to be thus cursed?

I get moths and beetles flying into my hair all the time. Not to mention the horrible fact that i always get ants in my food and all over my clothes...oh yes~ that kind of thing is really fun...u should try it one day~
Its real sucky to be studying or watching television and suddenly some foreign object lands/flies straight into your hair! I really can't stand it.

Another thing i don like is my 'swayness' in running into people. People i want to run into i don get to run into. People i don want to run into...well, u know what happens... -.-;
Take today for example.
Yingying ran into S***** B**...actually she saw him at the MRT station...why do i have this kind of 'yuan'??????
Shesh~
What to do?...life is like that and Singapore is so darn small at times...

HUGE shout out to:PARVEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week got no TKD at school....so i can dress 'nicer' to IBM class....once every 3 months anyway...next week i will go back to dressing 'sporty' ... haha...

My first Taekwondo test

It wonderful how much i can do with God. ^-^

Grading for white belt over!!!!
I couldn't sleep last night and this morning i could not breathe. Thanks and praises to God for His peace and strength that prevent me from fainting at the CC!
The number of people who turned up this morning for the grading would scare anyone out of their wits. Two bus brought children from God knows where to the Paya Lebar-Kovan CC for their various gradings. My instructor, Mr Chow, has around 250 students and they all had to go to that CC for their grading...so you can imagine how crowded and noisy the place was...not to mention how hard it ios to concentrate when there are more than a hundred eyes looking at you at when your trying to get your pattern correct.
For me, i entrusted everything from the start to the finish. Resultantly, i was more calm than my friends who were also taking doing the same pattern. Haha~ The whole actual grading lasted less than 5 minutes and i am glad that i did not mess up my pattern :) The only thing that worries me is the fact that another guy being tested at the same time kicked right into me~ oh well~
After that i stayed back at the CC to support my seniors who were also taking their gradings and then went to Mc with two of my seniors to chit chat, get to know them better and eat ice cream XD I have been wanting to eat ice cream for the past month liao. Haha...
I will have to wait for 2 weeks before i find out how well i did for the grading....yikes....i might have no hair by then....buah ahhaha

My Mummy's birthday today. Happy Birthday Mummy!

I have had a very tirering weekend. Right now was i type words down, i have to work hard to kep my eyes open and not knock my head into the computer screen and crash the CPU~ -.-;
Yesterday, i rushed from school back home to give tuition den went to Hougang Point for a birthday party den rush to Tampiness for my Uncle's Anniversary party...*hwew*
Today, not enough sleep, wake up, run to the CC, take grading, go home, try to sleep, knocked-out for less than an hour, rush to Heartland Mall to change a T-shirt, run to the CC again for badminton...now...typing to save my life...hahaha

Since i just had my grading today, i will not be having training for the rest of the week, but i will be going down to the CC for the training with the kids coz i need my exercise :p...therefore, tomorrow i don have to bring my duffel bag to school...haha....can dress a bit nicer as well :) once every 3 months ...hahaha

The week ahead will be interesting with all the stuff i have planned to do :) I hope i will be able to accomlish all taht i set out to do. I hope.

Cheers! ^-^

P.S. Less than 40 days to the A levels people! Keep on studying ! You are all in my prayers. I know you all can do it one! :)

Of gyming and clowns...

Keep still, breathe deeply, concentrate on the quiet.
What do you hear?
What do you feel?
Is there a voice speaking to you?
What is it saying?
Do you ever take the words seriously?

Since taking my leave from SRJC, i have tried my best to keep in touch with my classmates/schoolmates or rather, my kakees :) Through making phone calls, chatting on the net and going out together, etc.
Gyming is part of the going out espect. Which lead me to meet Siya to go to the Hougang gym on thursday morning aka today...for a stretch of running and lifting weights...whatever one does at a gym.
Here's the intersting stuff that took place :
*A very buff guy struck up a conversation with us about self-defence. Coz her over heard me talking to Siya about my taekwondo trainings and the up and coming grading. He gave us some tips on how to defend outselves if we were ever in the position of having to defend ourselves from a dangerous attacker (aka a bozo who wants our cash and has a knife). I personally was very scared after hearing the stuff he mentioned with regards to being in a real fight with blood going all over the place and people ending up in hospital. *goose-bumps*
I guess that its important that we know how to defend ourselves because the world is not as nice as i would like it to be. There are those who would do anything to get money or what have you and i can't always rely on the police can i?
*Met Zhi Rong at the ground floor of the gym building. He's just finished his prelims and played badminton with his friends at the badminton hall next door to the gym. He really made my day~ Why? Well, Zhi Rong asked me how the prelims were.
YEAH!!!!! He thought that i am in still in JC!!!!! I love being young man!!!!!!....den again, now that he knows my age, got no more kick liao....but still....he thought that i was his age!!!! Buaha haa !!! XD
Thanks for making my day Zhi Rong :D

The BBC just aired a story in relationt o those who have an intense dislike for clowns. Clowns? Yes clowns.
I suppose you could say that i am one of those people who do not like clowns, thankfully i am not at that stage where i would have a phobia of them.
I just don like being too near clowns or anything that looks like a clown...*goose bumps again*.

To everyone who just finished, or has finished their prelims:
Congrats! You've gotten over a high-chair!
Continue to study hard and dedicate as much of your time as possible to getting really prepared for the A's.
There will always be time, its just a matter of how you intend to spend it.
I will be here if you need help in prayers or in subjects...as long as they are not anything to do with science, i will do my best to help you :)
Ganbatte!
Jia You! Wo yong yuan zhi chi ni men!
All the best and dust the rest!

Cheers ^-^

P.S.
U know that Beer commercial with 'Adam King'?
I like the music :)
Its very groovy...heeha~

Trainings, trainings and more trainings! XD

I pretend to know how the female mind works, even though i myself am part of the female race.

Having two days of TKD training in a row is taking it toil on me. I slowly lose my ability to walk properly due to the aches i have in my legs and getting enough sleep is more like day dream than a reality.
At monday's training, i learned a new pattern for the next gradeing. I asked what belt that one was for. Apparently its for yellow-tip. Sadly, the belt i am currently aiming for is yellow, which means that my trainer has decided that i am not going to get a double promotion. Aiyo~.....i guess i i will have to kick higher and as much as possible for the next few days...God help me, i might not be able to walk or get up from bed at all... haha

OK, time to address an issue of importance!
My spelling!
My dearest Parveen, yes i know that i have lousy spelling.
I try very hard to make my spelling more correct. Really i do....but i think its a genetic problem. i keep having the tendency to type 'teh' instead of 'the' and anything that is supposed to have a 'th' will end up with ht' instead...as with other words...i think its a co-ordination problem. As for other words i think its because i type too fast den as a result i end up missing some letters in between. As for the missing 'p's and 'a's...its the fault of the keyboard...
Yes , yes, excuses...okok....i will try my best to be more correct ok?
But my spelling makes me more 'real' ya?
Like Gwendolyn and Ernest/Algernon...hahaha...and at least i u know that i am trying, coz if i used a spell-check you would not get all the mistakes and know that i am trying my best.
Anyway, my computer does not have the programme to check my spelling...buah hahaha....-.-;

I got my JOSH GROBAN CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!
i am now short of cash...but i got my cd!
YEAH!
Now i can listen to his beautiful God-given voice ^-^
Haha....

Hair appointment, so hair got cut XD...
Now its alot shorter and just in time for the taekwondo grading on Sunday :)
That way i don have to put any hair clips on... i don like having to wear anything on my head... still not used to it..except when i had long hair....den it was bor bian...oh well...
Talking about hair...
Many people don't know this:
I had never had long hair before i started JC.
From kindergarten till the end of secondary school, i had short hair. Never past the collar. That type of length.
The longest before JC was in P4 when my hair touched my neck! Haha...
The shortest? Erm....my mum used to cut my hair before i started schooling. She also cut my brother and father's hair...so i had a 'page-boy' hair style...much like placing a bowl on ones head and using it a s stencil for cutting the hair...haha...very coconut-ish in fact...erm...i looked like a boy...it was as if my brother had a younger brother instead of a baby sister for a few years O.o ... Hahaa...

Taekwondo practise/training today was very interesting in part because my instructor did not turn up due to having to attend a course. As a result, the black belters took over the class.
Chaos! Chaos! Chaos! Chaos!
C-H-A-O-S!!!!
They could not get the small kids under control...oh well~ It does happen every Sunday anyway..so i guess i should not be surprised... *bleah*

Later :)
Cheerz!

Living in Singapore

In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings (HDB),

And most people have already got used to Paying and Paying (PAP).

Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt (PUB).

If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig (PWD) and get more from you.


So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment (MOE)?

With the current Mad Accounting System (MAS), you are forced to Pay the Sum Ahead (PSA),

Which will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks (POSB).

And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always (LTA) system.


When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital (MOH),

You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral (CPF) fund.
If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you,

And you will be Sure to Give up Hope (SGH).



To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway (COE).
If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices (ERP) on the roads.

If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT),

OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side (SBS).


Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can relax,

Not even the good old place we used to go because it has become

So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!!



Thanks Joyce~
It really brightened my day :)

Toys 'R' Us kid

If i can't/don't wanna be me, i might as well be someone else.
In becoming someone else, i would become another 'me'...then i would face the same problem all over again...

Taekwondo grading's coming on next Sunday!!! OH MY GOSH~ How time does fly... i still have yet to perfect my high-rising kicks for the pattern..not to mention getting my nerves under control for the test itself...shesh~

I now cherish the days where i can sleep in and not worry about whether i am going to miss the 7.15am bus or worry about what subject will be lectured on in which theatre. Although i have to get up early from friday to sunday, i am lucky to be able to sleep in for the other days of the week.

If its one thing i can't stand, it being made to wait.
It really pisses me off when people can't keep their word to be on time. I guess its been drilled in me to be on time so much that i can't stand it when other people get away with being late.

I love to sleep.
Sleeping allows be to rest.
To run away from the world if just for a while.
To go to somewhere else where anything can happen.
To be active in my dreams and yet forget what the hack hapened when i open my eyes.
To be able to see people who are not there and yet are.
It has the uncanny ability to make all my anger or troubles go away...most of the time any way...haha

I was almost late for TKD class today..why? I fell asleep on the couch...after i came back from having a full day at church...
At church today, i found out that i am no longer considered a teenager at church but a young adult. According to the church, young adults age from 19 to 35.
Therefore i have crossed into the realm of the adult.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna be a Toys 'R' Us Kid! XD Haha~

Cheers!

A Toast!

I do not pretend to know how the mind works.
I am blurer than the next person in line.

Come to think of it, going back to school after one weeks break is not really that big of a deal. My time table is such that i don't have to go to school everyday...so its not a very big leap from being at home for a week..what i mean is that i don't really feel the stretch...its as if i never had that one week of break in the first place. *sigh*

I've had a good time 'running into people' this week.
Ran into Paul and Mandy and some other friends on the bus and around the campus.
For some reason, everytime i go out, i will run into someone i know. It does not matter where i go and at what time because without fail i will see someone whom i know from somewhere. Could be from SR, SIM, PL, church, or even a relative...gets pretty creepy sometimes when u think about it...haha...

In 2002, i went to OBS and had a really awesome time. Pictures were taken and they were posted on a website. I downloaded all of them but they all got lost when i changed to the new cpu...i have tried to go back to that paricular web page to look for the photos...however, the site can't be found...sad as i am that i can not relive those crazy moments through those pictures, i have to accept the fact that the people in them are more important ... i guess i will have to go bug my friend for the pictures ...haha...
i wonder when the group will have the chance to meet up again....it has been a very very long time...time flies eh? The second anniversary is coming up in November.
Who is going to remember it other than me? Will we all be too busy or even bother to meet up? When we ourselves have changed much since the time we all saw each other last.
Some way or another, something or other will either bring us all together again or keep us all apart. The longer the time we spend apart the less we feel for one another. As compared to the hours we spent toiling in under the sun and through the rain.
How quicky some forget or how little is means to some.
I do not pretend to know how the mind works.
I am blurer than the next person in line.

Waking up in the morning is kinda hard sometimes especially when i am VERY tired of have been having a VERY nice dream. Its kinda like never wanting to eat finish a particular ice-cream but you have to because it will melt and then it won't taste nice anymore...but you get my point..don't you?

This time 20:05, being late, i end up with my brain losing all sensation and turning to mush after a full day of lessons beginning with a soci test. Followed by a rushed lunch and a econs lecture regarding fat Singaporean, Japanese and US Sumo wrestlers... The problems of Singapore not being able to get an olympic medal in the sumo department and so on and so forth...
The joys of walking home under the hot sun without any music to listen to because my headphones decided to die on me...of all days and times : this morning after the long 151 bus ride just before i got to class to prepare for the test.
Speaking of the bus...it was leaking...the air-con that is... and i was sitting under it...
The soci test how?
Lets just say that if there's one thing i am good at, its writting rubbish. 6 years of studying and writting literature papers has been great practise for penning track loads of rubbish and has allowed me to become a fluent writer of R-U-B-B-I-S-H... hopefully i can convince my lecturer to give me marks based on my unique writting ability... :p...eh~ not everyone can sprout crap on command that easily plus make it convincing leh~ haha

Well, there's always tomorrow.
Its another day all together...things to do, places to go, people to terrorise... muah hahaha...

Come! Drink with me - To the another Saturday of Maths and Tuition!
*bleah*
CHEERS!
*eye-balls hang out*

Prelims 2004

God never said that life was going to be easy.

Thats what i always tell my student whenever i set her work to do or whenever she starts telling me her sob stories. Its also the same line i remember on days when my world seems like its going to come crashing down on my head.

Haiyo~
Back to school tommorrow...kinda reluctant to get on that bus and go for that Nageb's class...he thinks that the whole school can not survive without him as a teacher...and he thinks he is rambo...of all people! RAMBO! shesh -.-;;;
The one thing i am looking forward to is my taekwondo class! Hahhaa...i get to kick butt on the SIM main compound! Muah ahahaha....actually i don kick butt...i kick the handheld target...heehee...
Apart from going back to lessons i have a soci test coming up on friday! ARGH~ I still haven started studying for the darn thing...thank goodness it not counted in the final marking scheme...its just a test for me to see how well i know my stuff...but still, it is important to be ready for the quiz/test/thing...so that means that i have to hit the books later...either that or i can use them for target practise... haha...

My people who start their prelims tomorrow morning:
All the best! ^-^
Keep studying arh~

Cheers!

Once again i have set another early record...den again my friend Xinyi was earlier than me by ten minutes... had a good lecture and got to know my new friends better...maybe one dy we'll go to K-box or play a few rounds of mahjong....or even pool! Booya~
Many a thought has crossed my mind and i still wondering about the basic questions in my daily being. Simple things are not to be taken for granted and yet we are taught not to worry too much about what is going to happen. The television shows and books i read now-a-days have the weird and frightening ability to make me think more about the society in which i have been brought up in and the future which awaits me be it here or there...where ever that maybe...
Bomb blasts in the home town of my maternal cousin. That hits close to home and yet how much does one really care? Terrorists, i am told, have been integrated so deeply into their society that they are willing to see themselves as meer flies in comparison to the cause which they have been brought up to dedicate their entire exsistence to.
Part of the lecture today was about Spencer : The guy who came u with the theory of social evolution. His theory is similar to that of Chalres Darwin..you know ....that guy who came u with the 'survival of the fittest' with regards to animals? Anyway...i personally do not accet that theory of human evolution. WHY? Simply:
The whole theory is based on a line of continued up-grading in he form of complexity. First single cell organisms followed by the whole bio-thing of splitting and carrying onto the forming of animals and apes in particular finally leading to the Homo-sapien race...according to that dead wise guy and those who think like him. We are the final stage in that chain in of events, because we are the most complex.

*How can we be the most evolved? According to the theory....the darn progression never and will never stop...so who/what is going to be the next step? Real X-men?
*What started the big bang? If it was supposed to be the thing that initiated every thing, what caused 'IT'?
*I REFUSE to accept the idea that my 'qian-bei' were once furry and hairy and climbing in trees, eating insects and had tails! So there! Bite me! I'm organic! :p

OK... that's the result of 1/2hr of sociology lecture...hahaha...
Gotta fly now...
Cheers!

Life's never straight with Twisties!

"Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken." - William Shakespeare

I went through another long day outside of the house on Sunday.
Service followed by a church membership course then a mad dash to the new CC for badminton.
Tired as i was, i was blessed to be able to learn more things about life and about myself.
*As a member of my church i will have voting power which allows me to have a say in the decisions made in the course of the church's progression till the day which Jesus returns.
*I do not have an intense liking of the new CC's badminton courts. Why? Because its cramp in overall space (making me feel all boxed in) and the glass doors allow other people to look in at us who are playing...and its very distracting...plus the place is now further away from my home...which means that i have to walk further for my badminton and taekwondo sessions! ARGH~
*Keagan Kang : *siiiigh* He still has the ability to make me go weak at the knees...

I caught a commercial on television and it was about ballet.
Back when i was in primary school, i used to want to learn ballet just because everyone else was taking the classes at school. I had the fortune to catch 'The Nutcracker' by the Russian ballet troup on television once and again on my flight to anf from America.
I love that particular production of 'The Nutcracker'! If i could ever find a copy of it, i would definately buy it...coz it brings back fond memories....don believe me? Ask Joyce and Yingying....haha

Aiyo~ Blunders!
I woke up late today... was supposed to give tuition at 11am...but i woke up at 11.08am instead...over tired i guess and what's more? My student...for the first time : was early for tuition! Really siao lor!
That all resulted in me getting a very empty tummy and not red eyes...good thing? i got my payment. FINALLY!!!!
Due to the rain today, i decided not to attend the TKD session at school...heehee...too far to travel just to turn back and come home again...but i still have to go get my readings photocopied...have to wait till friday...oh well~

Twisties! I just love Twisties! Not just any kind mind you...i love the cheese twisties that are made in Australia! They are so bloody cheesy that i don have to drink milk...haha...you must try...there is a very big difference between the twisties from down under and Malaysia...really BIG difference. i'm serious~ So if anyone is going to Australia..pleaase buy a packet of cheese twisties for me ok? ^-^


Cheers!
