Teacher’s Day

 

Yesterday was the annual dinner celebrated for all the teachers and staff for our school and was held at the very upsy Seletar Country Club… Theme for the event was flowers, it was suprising to see many of the male teachers decked out in all their floral shirts, it was like in a cruise man!!

Anyway even thought the company was great the food dropped many levels in my standards, while the chinese dishes were of ravishing colours and darn outright mouth-watering 8 course dinner we muslims had only 3 courses, first of which we had tom yam soup served in a styrofoam bowl no less!! then complimented with Briyani rice and a chunk of mean on it with a side of brinjal and egg!

Ok mistake number 1, well so the country club didnt have a muslim restaurant thus the lack of plates and cutlery to serve us with, i mean im sure if u take an outside caterer that can provide cutlery also wouldnt it be so much better and appropriate?? i mean i had lunches for seminars better than this!!

Mistake number 2! only 2 dishes??? Budget is it? next time dun invite all the muslims la easier right!!

Mistake three! tom yam and briyani do not go side by side

mistake four! briyani does not cater with side dishes like brinjal and fried egg!

mistake 5! no body in the right mind would serve briyani with plastic spoon and fork! its unheard of at a dinner!!!

Wah lau next itme please la up your standard! while the muslims were eating eggs, the chinese were scrumptously devouring their drunken prawns! Fair meh???

Gawd it was so bad!!

Anyway then today the students performed for the teachers in a half day celebration the concert was so long winded man! anyway it seems some of the performers were really enjoying themselves, kinda made me miss those times i performed in my sec school concerts!!!

Haiz  excuse me while i reminisce away… the good ole days

Eating: nothing yet still waiting for my lunch treat

Listening: to the sound of the fans whirring

Reading: 8 days magazine!(damn bored ok)

My Secret Room!!

The reson for the lack of entries, is largely due to the fact that my internet at home has crashed(once again singnet has only wonderful things to offer me!). therefore as i go home today to expect tehnicians hussled over my new desktop, i hope to endear my readers with an unexpected post from the office(Slacker Alert!!)

Well todays been a slow day as we held a silent celebration in the event of the end of the prelims practicals for secondary 4 and 5. Since my senior lab tech is on leave today, i decided to pick into her computer and blast my thoughts away.

Am fasting today to pay back for my fasts from last years fasting month. Therefore if u sense any dread in there words u can only blame it on the hunger! Well read an extremely funny book today about boy meets girl,falls in love, falls out of love, finds someone else… argh u know that crap.. Guess i just needed something to get my mind off my life for a bit..

Other than that all i did was space out, stare into the wall, played with my handphone. stared at the clock…and during my lunch time i had the greatest time,

One of my lab atendents suggested that i catch a wink in the library and knowing it was locked she gave me the master key, so there i was locked in the most wonderful room in the whole school, the librarians workshop!!!

I was like a kid who jus walked into a candy store, it was really great, there was this huge comfy couch right smack in the middle of the room and above it was an aircon that breezed cold air like from heaven.I snuggled into the couch which enveloped me into its huge pillows and i completely spaced out for 45 minutes before someone came in! turns out the english course instructer was there to organise her lessons… so i slipped out back onto earth swamped by screaming kids and all the snickering back to the lab to enjoy some peace….minus the couch and cold air….

So that was it my day! Ok i gotta be heading home soon since the technician said they are reaching home soon and im still here… Well time off werk is what  i need!! Bye ya’ll

Marrying Blues

It;s been a lazy week for me.. Supposed to be studying but im actually just lazing around, but this morning jolted myself outta bed and started some serious studying.. Well still gotta lot to do..

Recently received a call from my old fren, apparently the guy just got married some time this june.. Haiz.. It seems everyone around me is getting married, some more all the ones younger than me also getting engaged and stuff. I gotta stop going to these things, it gets me pretty depressed most of the time… Thing is its not that i want a man in my life or anything, but the fact that ppl are settling down when im still directionless… I have so much to achieve in my life. Like building my own company, being business woman of hte year and all, but hey u think my family would understand?

Their perception is that gals above 25 are considered old hags… Im too tired to fight this battle all the way anyways.. I just give up..

I guesss thats what scares me, knowing that someday it will be me and a guy of whom i barely even know..

Mayb some 2 years ago i was all like ‘ im gonna marry somone i love’ but not anymore

I learned it the hard way, love u say..

I aint for me no more, for sure now

I cant stand it anymore, the excitement at first, the exihiliration, the contsant pillar of strenght in everything u do..

Im past that now im gonna do this life myself, without  a man, i can console myself when im down, i can protect myself from harm when i get home too late at night (thus the kickboxing lessons) and i sure as hell am gonna work hard to buy myself something i want and not depend on anyone else to get it from me…

Dun get me wrong though im not anti-romance, but im tired of the perception of someone who completes u, but im gonna make myself complete irregardless of a man… But hey if ‘THE ONE’ comes along then great but in the meantime im already living a life im proud of….

Oh ya news to add i’ve been surfing the youtube recntly but i dun noe if u guys realised but theres this extremely funny comedian doing stand up his name is russell peters. hes hilarious i had a great time listening to him and his jokes.. U should listen too…

Dad Little Girl (Ok mayb not so little!!)

Today i remembered dad a lot, probably due to the upcoming exams and prelims. I remember a time that dad coached me thru my o levels. He sat me down on the floor and marked a few pages of my assesment books for me to do and then i struggled all thru the night to finish it. He waited till i finished and went through the answers with me with a ruler at hand. And at every wrong answer “SMACK” went the ruler straight to the palm.

I tell u my hands were so red a the end of the night i cried myself to sleep almost every night. Not that i got lesser smacks or anything. ( I wonder why i never made fewer mistakes so i wouldnt get hit)(Hmm must be due to the teenager phase thing)… Anyway all through the year i had been failing my science exams and then miraculously for my o levels i gt a decent B i was estatic, i almost thought it wasnt my results…

But eventually i realised that all the hard work eventually paid off and look where i am  now… Studying Biotechnology… Sheesh who would have thought.(Not my science teacher for sure!) ‘

Funny thing is i actually love science, its interesting how u get all the answer to questions u never dreamed of asking… It intrigues me… And it still does…

So much of which i owe to my wonderful dad..  Even though hes a little silent in my life, he made such a huge impact on me… Well i guess thats what parents do… Hope u turn to someone they are proud of..

Well im off to make my dad proud now… Wish me luck!!!

A Job Less Loved

Ok so today wasn’t a good day for me at all, the first day at werk after my first exam paper turned out worst that i thought. What with the upcoming o level prelims amd all…

So far i’ve had like a million jobs, from typing invites to examining rubber materials(dun ask) to dispensing  medications and none of these jobs have brought me to satisfaction..  End of the day i feel like all i’ve done is help somone else… I dun feel a sense of accomplishment at all..

Funny how i always thought that ur job should be something that u love doing, something u do to show who u are inside. But mayb in a country like Singapore, with the limited jobs and the raging competition i guess its hard to find a great job, so i guess pretty much everyone feel dragged to werk…

No wonder every morning when i take the train down to the north side of Singapore all i see are faces that are in dire need of motivation, enthusiasm. The govt should surely do something about this.. we are talking major uplifting here…

Hint: a few hundred bucks ain’t doin the trick….

Ps: if anyone from the govt is reading this i love my job!
