Busy July
Before we say goodbye to the 5% and reluctantly accepting the 7% GST, lets grasp the last bit of the relaxing month of June. The next time i touch the school ground, its going to be the start of a busy busy month. (more to expect for the rest of the months actually)
Somehow u feel more satisfied and fulfilling when ur days are well spent isnt it? So, its still good to feel busy. Er... but the only thing is, we cant afford to get MCs. If not the positive stress will turn nasty on u. I tried that last term. Yucks. I will choose to crawl my way to sch even if i'm unwell than to get MC.

How will tomorrow be? I wonder.
Good morning people... Its early monday now. (Staring at the clock wondering why Jin is still not sleepy)
After a long 3-4 weeks break, Jin is finally going back to school. Having being awake at such a time (2.30am), it just say how unhealthy a life Jin leads whilst enjoying her holidays. I guess that she will need another few days to get her body clock reverted back to normal. If not,she is going to suffer the sleepy-yet-couldnt-fall-asleep syndrome and thus making her unable to focus at work and she will bite people ( =O ) and ...erms no more exaggerating and-s. She starts to wonder as she types along. Will school be the same?Its not a nervous feeling, its just a dont-know-what-to-anticipate feeling. Perhaps, Jin is feeling B.L.A.N.K.
Anyway no matter what comes, we'll get to know in few hours time.
*Still not sleepy but will try forcing to sleep,Jin signing off with Goodbye and Good night.

'Mind' Clean up.
在开学之前，这得有很多是得清干净的。不好的，已经是历史。
来一个思维的大扫除啊。。。
清得干干净净！
一个月前，我的心情可以用忐忑不安来形容。有很多烦恼的事情似乎把人压得紧紧地，好像有人刻意把氧气夺走了。那某人，就住在我心里。正是我自己给自己太大的压力，失去了理智去分析探讨。人，不都是这样吗？而偏偏烦恼的事有那么的偶然，不约而同的涌出来。人生，也不都是这样吗？
可能人年纪越大，感情丰富了，也脆弱了。不是肉眼能看到的东西，而是心灵上的一种自残。外表开朗乐观，是为了让自己更坚强的一种武器。人，不是都带着面具在保护着自己吗？
很难能有真正能了解自己感觉的人。
好比说我的腰受伤了，大不了好好休息多加照顾。但真的，就那么简单吗？
好比说我在工作上因某种原因而感觉压力，大不了慢慢来弥补。但真的，就拿那么简单吗？
好比说我自己为了入学而担忧，大不了不是在等一年咯。但真的，就那么简单吗？
说起来还真的没什么大问题不是吗？只不过是自己在杞人忧天。但真的，就那么简单吗？理智上就诊的是如此简单但人的心是复杂的，思维是有深度的。真的能如此看得开？
不过，我是一个相信‘船到桥头自然直’的人。那一些烦恼的头库感觉，是一个人生的毕竟过程。就好比你去看一部恐怖片。你明明知道那是一部恐怖片，可是你还是会经历备吓的滋味，有的还留下几天的后遗症。说到底，那只是一个过程。
其实当我不开心时，我会向好友情愫。那时好的。不过解铃还须系铃人，终究还只要自己会想透、看头，才会得到解决。也许，这就是成长。
*现在听着静茹Sunrise专辑。感觉是轻的像是在飞翔。
一个月后的今天，感觉轻松了很多。所以我才有反省的空间去了解所有的事情。也许是因为事情已经成定局了，或者说一切已经过去了就只好坦然面对。（说俗一点，就是任命了）我这个人没什么优点，唯一好的（我认为），就是会反省。
是，我的腰是受伤了。我失去了打球、骑脚车等等很多的权利。但，我还有的医，我还得到了很多人的关怀。我不想去把人心猜为是复杂的，我相信他们都是真诚的。
是，我得‘留班’多一年，没得去‘生造’。不过，我有很好的同事们，他们能给予的人生经验，不是更加贴切吗？我相信这，是好的。上帝如果安排你绕圈子走，必定会给你一些其他人没有的。迟早不重要，重要的事我能不能到终点。我深信我能，因为我很固执。我曾经说过我是打不死的蟑螂，我相信我还是如此。
是，我虽然有时会觉得自己做事情常常会心有余而力不足。不过我在努力了。真的。我的不足，是需要时间去支持的。请给我多点时间。只要自己肯给自己机会进步，慢慢也会达成所愿。反正欲速则不达，也不可以操之过急。我也曾经说过我每年的心愿，都是想做一个比去年还要好的人。我觉得，我似乎抱有这个优点。
长大了。在妈妈的范围里，我依旧很小孩子气。在思想上，我的确因为几番的洗礼后，似乎变了许多。
我觉得我好像冲好点了。我好想好想为我的学生做点什么。我要做个好老师。
就如《原点》这部戏里有一句很俗的话。。。
‘这样会死吗？不会死对不对？’
每个人都有着不同的问题，你想想看你的过去，不时有很多自己很害怕去面对的事吗？最后如何呢？也不是这样就过去了？能有多可怕啊？
哈哈

*Jin is a lazy fella. Basically she did nothing during the whole june holidays.
Shall end with this
My kor and I =D .My mum always say we behave like twins-一对活宝.(the fact is we're 3 years apart. Either he is childish or i am matured.LOL) Not only in reality, we are liddat in the virtual world too.

MRI scan
This is my 2nd time going for MRI scan. Hmmmmmm based on last time's experience, i was q. scared becos its just a very enclosed area and they will push u in. All the while i cannot tahan to be in too enclosed area for long period of time. Its a kinda phobia. I cannot get trapped in a lift for too long either, i cannot stay alone on a flight doing nothing but staring into space. I dont like the enclosed feeling. Its like suffocating. Just like if someone is playing with u using a blanket to trap u liddat. I will scream for 'stop'. So this time when they pushed me in, as usual i had this very uneasy feeling, i am almost on the verge of shivering. Obviously i didnt la duh. You will never know wad i did. . . (oh ya MRI is very noisy so they put me on earphones Gold 95 fm.)
Those music that came out frm earphones doenst help. The moment the machine starts to turn noisy , i only get more nervous...
So eh... have u guessed wad i did?
I kept on singing Jingru's songs! LOL the first song that came right in jiu shi eh ...... Courage- Yong qi. LOL ...kepr on singing that in my mind while closing my eyes attempting to calm myself down, ignoring wadever thats on the earphone, ignoring wadever i am doing. I just imagine Jingru is standing in front singing... LOL ... After that i 'visualised' jingru singing wo hai ji de. Hahaha come to think abt it, its strange ... cos while inside that machine, i couldnt think of any Jr songs except for those 2 mentioned and mei li ren sheng.... the rest seem to disappear. Maybe i was too nervous.... nvm , jingru songs calmed me down and bring me thruout the 30 mins... and eh, the injection....SHI TONG DE LO ! i've nv encountered so painful de needle before....
Waiting for MRI results.

Another good thing
*i am good at digressing so i think this entry is really random and messy =P
Another good thing abt teaching is that we have whole loads of workshops to attend. Well, which i think i might grew sick and dread going if i am to stay in this line for long tho. However, for now, i do enjoy going to these enriching courses. Esp those with interactive lecturers. Hmmmmm ... all the while i think i enjoyed listening/learning. I feel very enlightened as i gained insights. I feel that i am a bit more clever-er. (It doesnet really matter whether or not i'd still rem the concepts i've learnt few days down the road.)
Ahems, people might come ard and ask me y i always skip NUS lectures then. Well, tho Jin enjoys all these, she is a lazy person with short attention span by nature. Unless its compulsory, or u wont see her appearing.As u know, all uni lecturers are boring(with the exception of hist/sea lecturers...cos i think they are interesting and i'm always near to FULL attendance when it comes to their lectures), they just preach and preach..... pri sch teachers are much better at teaching.
Since school workshops are compulsory, i had to go and I do enjoyed eventhough i dont pose brillant questions or give fantastic answers. Jin is an attentive person no doubt she has short attention span. So within that short period of time, she can absorb up till 90 plus % of the things taught. Now that u come and ask me what is the course abt, i can just blabber non stop.
Actually for everyone of us, there are alot of things we knew. Tere are alot of things we assumed others to know too. Its kinda comon for teachers to always say : ' U have to understand it... yada yada yada' ...(sometimes will get angry becos we just dont seem to know why they do not understand simple things taught to them)But then, most of the time , we assumed and we just state what we want and what they are expected to do without telling students how to. The 'how-to' part is really not easy. Everyone can be a teacher , u have the knowledge and info , u just impart. BUT! not everyone can be a good teacher. Its never easy being a good teacher.Putting aside all the admin work,all sorts of activities and markings, we just focus on teaching... Besides being engaging, interactive and fun, u shld be good at playing skills and strategies round ur fingers and creatively formulate into your everyday teachings(eh ...oh now also need to tie in with IT) and lastly, u have to be very good at reflecting and reframing wad had been done. At the end of the day , its now how well they answer a question, its how well they understand. I like the challenge of being a teacher. If only teaching is really only abt teaching, how nice will this job be, i wonder?
After studying for 20 odd years, i came to REALLY understand and believe in why people always say [Reading] is important. Becos it is important, speaking from experience.
From someone who used to follow the words , glance thru the book without much understanding(in short, read for the sake of reading), to someone who really understands a certain passage thoroughly, i could see and feel the difference.Everytime when teacher taught us comprehension, it was hell to me. I understand nuts abt what he/she was ranting about. I simply hate digesting the passage, i dont know what the passage was all about blar blar blar when teacher was imparting the skills. I never really learn anything from there.
I think , i picked this up becos i studied history. I liked this subject so much that i will make my own interferences, tho occassionally with the 'huh?'what?' on top of my head.But then it is always obviously becos that we need to do alot of thinking and inferences when we are doing history, i've learnt what understand is all about. Nice.I still enjoy doing that even when i read a book. I will try to seek for the implicit meaning behind everything.
I know time do not turn back becos we want them to. Just a thought, if there is a time machine back, i might not have scored so badly for my English. Its not like WAH... my English is powerful, in fact i am still lousy in this English language. Its just that i've learned alot from this language. I am improving, at least i try to. =)
By the way, today i went back sch, i was abit blur. Although i didnt communicate much ,it was a nice feeling seeing my colleagues again. The laughters and noise @ lvl 2 staffrm. =)

Communication
Earlier on msn, Ling stressed on this. I knew all along i was bad at communicating simply becos i always assume. Maybe i am really living in my own world. Erm i am not going to continue this entry becos i dont feel safe typing it here cos many pple will be reading it. No privacy. Sometimes , i wonder wads the use of a blog when i am not truthful in my blog.
Gone, I am.
I think people who did or will be going out with me, would realised that i wasnt happy. But they probably wont know y cos i wont say. TLT peeps esp Ling, keep within ourselves. I trust and heart u peeps.
Its, the self claim The End.

SweeeeeeeeeeeeeeT!
Perhaps only girls who love plushies or teddy bears will find this sweet. keke i'm one of them. Yesterday my didi brought this home tog with him all the way from suntec. He gave this teddy a life. Eh obviously its not for me . Its for his EX. Heh but its a present shared among other friends la... My cousin pointed it out and i totally agreed that, normally when sharing a present, its the person who had the idea,hunt and bought the present, hold the highest sincerity. Cos they bothered to do it and its kinda sweet. I know it becos i only hunt and plan for b-days for pple who are really close to me. I normally dont do that. When i do it, i really put in the heart to.
Girls not only like bouquets of roses,accessories, chocs or watever. Most importantly its the FEEL when the person received a present. Oh well, tho its just a no-big-deal plushie to add onto the vast collection to collect dust, but its the sweet feeling that surprises and counts. Simply love it.
The person who dumped my didi is really someone who cant appreciate his goodness. He, treats her more than anyone else in the family. Dumbo. Its just a wrong person. Try harder. Next one will definitely be a better one.
*when i ask him is he still thinking of her cos i see him having bits of the 依依不舍 or erm bits of love for her. He denied. He said that giving a present show that he has the 风度 which i think is a good quality of him. Haha but when i asked him did she give him any present on his bday, he said no. So, obviously girls are the more 无情无义. Once gone, its never gonna be there anymore.

Bad Student?
Well, today my mother took out our report books and made us keep ourselves. My didi and I flipped thru our books and started discussing. My didi said that i am really a huai student. Then i turned to ask my mother is it so? I told her that when i tell ell my friends, none believed. Then she said, YES, u were huai ! I asked my didi wad will he do if this set of results belonged to him. He said, he will cry. I asked him again, how do u think i feel then? He said, I was happy and proud becos i didnt fail all. LOL ... Come to think about it, he was right. I was never serious and yes, i do prefer to see all RED inks instead. BAH! I used to be a rotten apple. My mother said that all people will have their own story and their own past. I asked her again. How about didi? How about korkor? Do they have too? They kept quiet. HAHA...Actually after looking thru at how much i've slipped and how bad i did . I was shocked , really. Not shocked by how bad a person can get, but rather, shocked at how i managed to climb my way up again. Maybe, i can be a motivator to those who cant do well now. Maybe. But then again, this kinda results might not seemed to be the worst, but it just appeared bad enough for most pple. I dont know how i actually went through becos i really have no memory on that. Is this called selective memory? Remembering only things i wanted to ? Perhaps RY was right, i ate a miracle pill.
Term 3 report card
Term 4 report book
That explains y my leaving cert stated that i only passed sec 3.
Anyway , i do get students(last year) coming to me and tell me that :' U teacher mah, U uni one, sure know how to do . U wont know how we feel to score so low'... <---yea that kinda remarks . Only losers say that.They're pri sch kids so i doubt they understand much.. But if i taught in a sec sch , i wouldnt probably tell them :'I know exactly how u feel becos i have been thru all the lousy years in education.' ... I've gotten 2nd last position, 3rd last and 4th last.... But wads the big deal.
So for watever things we do, we face obstacles. No matter how bad it was, Jia You.
*before i end this entry , my kor came back ... He stressed on that point i shld thank all my friends. Esp TLT . Esp Daf and Ling. s my brother said and i agreed. They are God sent angels.
Well, today my mother took out our report books and made us keep ourselves. My didi and I flipped thru our books and started discussing. My didi said that i am really a huai student. Then i turned to ask my mother is it so? I told her that when i tell ell my friends, none believed. Then she said, YES, u were huai ! I asked my didi wad will he do if this set of results belonged to him. He said, he will cry. I asked him again, how do u think i feel then? He said, I was happy and proud becos i didnt fail all. LOL ... Come to think about it, he was right. I was never serious and yes, i do prefer to see all RED inks instead. BAH! I used to be a rotten apple. My mother said that all people will have their own story and their own past. I asked her again. How about didi? How about korkor? Do they have too? They kept quiet. HAHA...Actually after looking thru at how much i've slipped and how bad i did . I was shocked , really. Not shocked by how bad a person can get, but rather, shocked at how i managed to climb my way up again. Maybe, i can be a motivator to those who cant do well now. Maybe. But then again, this kinda results might not seemed to be the worst, but it just appeared bad enough for most pple. I dont know how i actually went through becos i really have no memory on that.

Long "Lost" Friend
Do you have alot of nicks parking at your msn for years without much conversing? I think i had plenty of them. Somehow its still good to have them parked there. Last few days while i was mapling away, i saw a 'hi' dropped at my msn screen. When i returned, the other party offlined. Today while napping, i saw the same 'Hi' from the same person and i replied after 2 hrs (when i woke up). Luckily the person was still online. Years after years we seemed to be in each other's outer social circle, decided for a meet up, on Wednesday.
I thought it would be nice to meet a long 'lost' friend whom i used to come online just to chat. A friend who used to occupy my hp line when i finish school during those 2 years of JC life. A friend who used to share many interests (i thought) as me. A friend who knew things which i will 'WOW' at simply becos i couldnt do it and he is a coach himself.(Taewando)A friend whom was a passerby to me when we were in pri school.(We didnt know each other's existence tho in a same p.school.) A friend who i knew 'out of a sudden' when i was 16.
After a time span of 7 years, i think things were very different now. I think we dont share same interests anymore but its always nice for a long catching up.
The person is none other than KT.

Reading...
I hated reading since young. Thick novels put me off easily.During those schooling days whenever i know its 'slient reading' time , i merely hoped that the time would pass faster. Things changed when people gets older isnt it? We'd prefer to have a cup of tea, some music and a book to spend the whole afternoon off. I enjoyed reading now, really. Both Chinese and English books (Tho now i'm only in mood for English ones... haha i had a couple of unfinished chinese books lying ard but i'm just not in that mood to read them now. Maybe during my next hols perhaps. HA)
I am not those who read everynight before i sleep. I read during my bus/train rides or when i have nothing to do at home (this hols i diverted some....(or rather most) time in mapling, if not i can finish up alot of books) I finally finished the 'Not Without My Daughter' book which i started in late april. Yea... i took pretty long to finish that becos of school and mapling. LOL ... Yesterday i just bought a new book , much thinner one. 'the five people you meet in heaven' . Well, i've read 'Tuesday with Morrie' years ago and would probably had forgotten wad it was written, but i rem it as a good book. Tho this book is not a 'recent new' book but i think its still a good book to digest.
"All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time ..."

She's @ it again =.=
That day Jin gave another person a nickname called woody becos as suggested he was rather wood-y. Then he was puzzled wad exactly woody was. I told him its actualy the woodstock from the peanuts and snoopy series. So Jin did an online image search and realised how cute woodstock was. And since then ..... She linked everything to woodstock. Tho the craze for the whole snoopy and gang was already pretty much blown away, Jin's craze has just started. Too bad she couldnt get any woodstocks anywhere. Pouts.
There u go... The start up , the wallpaper, the msn, everything.

Have You Ever ... ?
Hey pple, have u ever wondered why u (maybe with ur friends too) did something 'childish' and enjoyed doing it like DAILY ? Well, as promised(to lynn), i shall just post 1 'unique' thing abt TLT with illustrations. Hmmmm there are alot of things we do while we were much younger that we couldnt understand the rationale behind it now. Perhaps at the age of 13 and 14 (during our era), we were still kiddish. (students nowadays are FAR so much matured that they lost their 'can i say innocence?') Anyway ... we used to play a 'game?' EVERYDAY while making our way to flag lowering...
This is how it goes... (i dont know if u pple would understand or not tho, i'll try to be more precise in relating it)
I dont know how it happened and why it happened. However , it was one of our favourite MUST-DO thing daily.(even if we split classes for D&T / Home ED.) Students in sec sch dont really have a systematic queuing system. Only thing was boys need to be in front. Therefore TLT will of cos stand together.So while walking to the parade square , we will be trying to stay in the middle of the clique. Usually nobody wants to be in front of the 7 of us. Therefore when we reach the parade square, we will go , wo bu yao zuo di yi , wo bu yao zuo di yi and will keep on switching places among ourselves. BUT! neither do we want to be the last(of the clique)So there will always be alot of pushing and pulling. We will pull onto our friends bag to secure our 'positions'. Actually i seldom lose de.... unless i'm being sabo-ed. Yea, sometimes we also play sabotaging de lo ... it might not be u who is the last but turn out to be ... lol (oh i rem lynhn the kiasu one, also seldom lose..... think big time loser shld be daf or yu?) I bet our classmates might be puzzled by our childish acts yet noone told us abt it. All the pulling and pushing stayed with us until we split classes in sec 3 i think. We really had alot of fun just by playing that...Strange enough, now to recall back, wads so bad abt being in front or at the back? LOL....U can nv imagine how much fun we had just by doing that .... somemore , we did it everyday. I think it must have been a disturbance to the other pple... i think if i nv rem wrongly, izzit peiyu,meiwen and yihua who is always standing in front of the whole TLT clique? Michelle and some others at the back... My only explanation of y we enjoyed playing this was cos we werent siting near to one another. So probably the only time we play was the time to queue up. (Esp me and daf, q. far away ... eh and last time we very guai and ting hua de lo...wont anyhow leave our seats de.... na li xiang nowadays de kids...) Haha... interesting people we are.
Before i end, just some background.
TLT was not named TLT until it was 'founded' in 1999(sec 3) by the bunch of 3A TLT peeps*. Before that,we were just a clique w/o any name given. We began to know each other better with the help of CO. Erm ... Lets see
(*3A peeps: Ling, Lynn,Yu,Daf and Sing....Erms Chris was in 3B and I was in 3D)
Before CO starts,
Ling gets to know Yu becos they were frm same pri sch and thus they sat near to one another.
Chris gets to know Daf becos they live just few blocks away. Always go home via walking the same route thus befriended.
Chris and Daf get to know Jin becos of an 'oily' incident which was disclosed to all TLT peeps much later on the year when we discussed abt how we met.
Jin gets to know Ling 1st becos Jin tranferred class over from 1C to 1D and Ling was a snob to her. Eeks.
Jin gets to know Yu becos she was sitting just nx to her and Jin borrowed her music book to copy down school song few days after Jin's transfer.
Lynn gets to know Chris becos Lynn did say before that she find Chris friendly and at the same time scary too becos whenever Lynn turned back , Chris had this ready wide SMILE on her face.(Chris kept VERY long hair then)
So it happened that 6 of us chose Chinese Orchestra as CCA. (Just a pure coincidence)Lynn wanted Pipa right at the start and Chris and Daf choosen Yang Qin probably cos i was there too. Yu chose cello cos its a west meet east kinda instru. However, there is really a twist la. Chris had been sent to cello initially and yet demanded for a transfer mths later. Daf got kicked out of Yangqin and moved to Liuqin probably becos Shushu and I had learnt the skill before that made her seems slower. Soon after, Ling was being psycho-ed into CO by dear Lin lao shi (she claimed she was being con-ed into joining). Anyway she joined Yang Qin. So in the end Lynn stayed in her Pipa, Chris, Ling and I in Yangqin, Daf in Liuqin and Yu in cello.Jiu zhe yang, everytime we see each other in CCA and thus grew closer.
Singsing joined us much later and became one of us in the middle of sec 1 i think.
The origins of TLT.
All the while we tot of having a name to the clique and we want something unique. Ling, started by placing our initials tog but lead to nowhere and thus she decided to use the 1st letter of our surname and it turned out to be BWTLLTO ... So after much trial and error, the word BOWL came out first and TLT , simply refers to Toliet . ToLieT BOWL. After that it spreaded ard lo. toliet bowl toliet bowl. Then its TLT BOWL ... now its simply TLT. LOL... I think we even had a date for 'anniversary' lo...but i think its a failure cos i doubt anyone rem wad date tat was... I rem it was in August. But...heh ... i really dont rem much.
ok tired. This shld be enough to satisfy lynn for now.
Out for the entire day
Well, today i went by alot of places but came home empty handed. Was at chinatown,orchard before i went home in time for my dinner.
At about 10 plus my father decided to go Mustafa so off we went. That smell of the place is not as 'diferent' as some pple might tot it would be. Well, i had this misconception too before i joined my sch for that night tour.So today it was my 3rd time there.(Been there once it first opened and thats where my 'not-so-good' impression stayed in..LOL) Anyway, its really not that bad afterall. My mother bought a steamer cos she thought it is much healtier than a microwave oven and it is rather convenient. Was an enjoyable trip i shld say, just that it is a bit crowded cos the interior was packed with loads of stuffs. For those who do marketing at 'sheng siong' supermarket, i think , its ard that pattern. Pack with loads of stuffs. The crowd would have been lesser if u visit the place at ard 2am? (its 24/7 btw) I recalled when i went with the sch, it was really empty.
After that we went to a nearby dian xin eatery that we patronise q. often. They serve nice hongkie dian xin frm 6pm-10am btw. Its a lao zi hao. I think its called rui xiang? Eh dun really rem la... q. famous ard jalan besar de. In the end i reached home ard 2am.
And ...
it resulted in ....
the BACKACHE RETURNS !
Really painful now. I think i over stressed on my spine today by walking the whole day. Sigh. Hao bu rong yi turned for the better, now it gets back to square one again.
Anyway , lol rcv-ed some comments or wadever u may call it , about my previous post on songs. LOL i wouldnt know singsing does drop by my blog until she msn-ed me abt the 'ding zuo yi ge tian tang ' part. And yea, had q. a few 'classic' happenings shared with lynn. So.. hahaha i shall start reminiscing and start to blog bits and pieces. (special request of lynn - to post abt those 'embarassing' moments with TLT pple...so sorry girls.... anything just go for lynn .... but i think all the girls are q. open to sharing... nothing much actually since its THE past.)

爱我的人和我爱的人
Just one more entry for today. Since i blogged about songs earlier on , might as well paste this lyrics here. This song is q. old. Its a classic. Its hao ting but its also shang gan. Sometimes realirty jiu shi zhe yang. Life is complicated hor ?
Feel so like k-ing these old songs... ... ...
盼不到我爱的人
我知道我愿意再等
疼不了爱我的人
片刻柔情它骗不了人
我不是无情的人
却将你伤的最深
我不忍我不能
别再认真忘了我的人
离不开我爱的人
我知道爱需要缘分
放不下爱我的人
因为了解他多么认真
为什么最真的心
碰不到最好的人
我不问我不能
拥在怀中直到他变冷
爱我的人为我痴心不悔
我却为我爱的人甘心一生伤悲
在乎的人始终不对
谁对谁不必虚伪
爱我的人为我付出一切
我却为我爱的人流泪狂乱心碎
爱与被爱同样受罪
为什么不懂拒绝痴情的包围

Songs...
Well i went by Shane's blog a moment ago and he blogged abt the songs that 'grew up' with him. I thought it was nice, to reminisce. I did blogged about the different songs at my different stages of life years ago when i was packing my cd rack. It was a general one and was typed in chinese.
Now to recall, there are really some songs that really was and will continue to stay in me. Over the years i had many 'favourite' songs but there is this particular song that will give me a special feeling. Its 旧项链 by Sammi Cheng. I dont know why but will feel like tearing so i seldom sing that song unless i have the mood to.I'll always think of those sec sch co days. Ling, shushu and I will always do a 'Heiiii' action which is always so comical that we will break into laughter w/o fail. (Now if u are to ask y it was so laughable, we are unable to answer u already. We are all grown ups now. Thats the reason y there are things that we cant explain.) Everything that has happened in Perth was still so vividly in my mind tho it has been 8 years already.
I recalled all the tiring but fulfilling CO practices. All the proud performances and the 'prestigious' SYF compeitions. I do miss my CO days and the whole bunch of nice YQ pple. Used to chat q. frequently with weiwei when i was in sec 2 i think, used to chat daily with shushu during those boring afternoon when we were sec 3 and i always rem we'll end the calls at evening time cos he needs to brew tea and wait for mother to come home =.= (haha and if i am not at home at certain timing, he will have 'trouble' talking with my AH MA... LAUGHS),used to chat with 'amos biao di' at the wee hours of the night that my mother always nag at me,used to chat with piyang to attempt to break our record of chatting the most number of hours over the phone. (I think my highest record was still chatting with her. Whole night long. Can u imagine? )LOL I used to hog the phone at home when i was much younger. I dont really chat on phone now maybe i turned boring liao. Maybe its becos of handphone sms-es. People dont chat on phone now, they sms. LOL
Ha.Also, good to boost that under us seniors, YQ grp seems to be the one of the most united grps in NASCO. The bonds were there. Those days i always spent my saturdays with fellow CO-YQ pple at Tampines Mall. It lasted for a long while (seriously, there isnt anything much at TM, we are just mere walking and talking and playing at toy'r'us.) CO = goodie. Although i am not a professional player, i enjoyed this kind of big group life. lol...YQ used to have activities during festive season like mooncake festival, christmas etc etc but over the years its diminishing =[ but memories and photos are there to keep. Well, at least once in a while i still in contact with my 'piyang biao mei'.
*Since 6 out of 7 pple in TLT were also CO members, so we had fun tog too. Keke. I think its CO that kept us glued together.
Although i always claimed that the 2 Jc years were my best schooling days throughout my whole 20 odd years of education, sec sch days were also wonderful.
One whole chunk. =.= U can skip the rest if its too long.
Somehow songs like 订做一个天堂，心动？（林佳义的），哭不出来 and I love my City will make me feel embarassed. LOL Ling will understand why. Those songs used to be songs that we sang for parents' night, talent quest or music test. LOL ... I think all the while i overestimate myself. LOL I am just a normal person who can sing. Can sing doenst mean can sing well. LOL can sing simply means i know the tone. But anyway , its an experience ya? Nowadays there are so many 'singing' compeitions or watever nots, this made everything so common and popular. But its kinda rare and must be ONZ enough to be able to do those when we were back then in sec sch days. Kuddos to Ling and I . =D No wonder we self crown that we were zui jia pai dang then. LOL. Yes. We'll nv forget the whole grp of 订做一个天堂 peeps who cant really sing. LOL probably its only u,me and cheesiang are ok. (Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh....) I wonder if any of the parents remembered that performance? LOL my parents said it was bad. Laughs.
Then we have certain songs with certain people.
Ling : 微笑的理由(hahaha i rem the practicing on bus 27 on way back frm airport. Ling!!! u rem ma? <--she has serious memory prob) ,最想环游的世界(i rem for slacker's Inn, during my turn i specially chose this song.)
Ruiyi:有时候，明天的我依然会微笑 and some other real oldies that we enjoy singing qing chang or while waiting for oral exams or during bus trip .有你在and最快了那一年 these 2 songs had special meaning de.世界唯一的你 she is the only person who practiced the song for me. Touched altho she dont really know how to appreciate Gary.
Huiyin: Lover's concerto. She enjoys hearing me sing that song every now and then. Even on bus 293 on the way home she will always see me off and made a loop back.
Yilinn: A jap folk song that she taught me during viet days. I still rem the tone tho i cant recall the words.(i had a copy of the 'lyrics' , no worries)
Xiaoying: F.I.R. Best partners ever.BUT! sliding le.
Mixed grp (the animals) : peggy's and elva's classic songs.Always very high-ed.
Lynn: 地老地老天荒天荒 or wadever de by powerstation de ，第一天(tog with rest of TLT k kakis)
Singsing:至少还有你 cos i had a nightmare becos of that.
Keith: 夜夜夜夜 and 勇气 （fast pace version)
Jinxing: 你最珍贵(first duet song and its well done tho we didnt win during the sing com on my 21st.)，爱了就算 and 水晶(cos i like this song very much cos its sweet and i like it when we sing. Sounds nice)
Hope i didnt miss out anyone and our zao pai songs ya ?
Another 1 whole chunk. If you still not tired then continue lo
There are some songs which will just make u tear w/o fail
转圈圈(jingru de)
Shane said he grew up hearing Andy's songs, for me i have q. a number

Oh and some childhood songs. I dont rem the title but i know how to sing... the ah men ah qian yi ke pu tao shu.. ah nen ah ya yi zhi gan fa ya.students nowadays still singing it ! Then another one is the stool one. Xiao ban deng bai yi bai , xiao peng you men zuo shang lai...cant rem the middle part ... hong long long long long hong long long long long hong long long long long HOO ... lol ... last time my kor needa mother to pai pai pigu then can sleep de then she always sing those 2 fav.

I rem when we were pri sch, autograph books were popular (dun think its popular now le right?), for favourite singers, i always put down the names of both jimmy-s. So for a period of time i like that name Jimmy and eh the sound-alike Jeremy. LOL
When i was in sec 1 , i think its the era of Zhang Hui Mei. Haha the funny part is... Only when she released her 2nd album badboy, then i get to know of her yuan lai ni shen me dou bu xiang yao, which is in her 1st album! LOL ... then i bought both albums at the same time. At the same time there was also Jeff chang. I liked him pretty much too ! I kept his friday weekly de jian bao... still have them. Majority dou shi fann wong and a-mei tho.(Yes, that time i really like Fann alot...) So zhang hui mei acc me most of the time . During the same 4 years, Sammi released a good album. 'I deserved'. Sec 3 de shi hou. I bought it tog with Ling and Shushu. Its really a nice album. After that being influenced by Shushu and get to 'collect' sammi stuffs. Those easily avail de la... i nv really go search and buy ... LOL . Again there was also Gigi, whose songs are soothing, and i also liked her alot. Reca;lled those days at sci lab(that one started since sec 2 tho) , i sat with micmic(michelle) , and we always sang dan xiao gui tog. Haha. So it was Gigi, amei, Jeff and Sammi... Maybe there were someothers but i dont rem....lol
I didnt know i was so into chi pop until now that i've listed out. : O
I started listening to 933 only when i was in p6. I'll listen till i sleep. 8 - 11 then morning de junwei and liyi de shi hou(sec 1 and 2 pm session). Hou lai sec 3 and 4 afternoon . Jc at night when studying... listen till sleep.
Jc de shi hou no one. eh did tune in to 933 but then bu ji de any particular song that has had an impact. Maybe Rong shao's (desmond Dj) smuff song before i slp or xiaobin's mian yang song. LOL
2003 onwards = jingru.
recent years nothing much changed. Dont think any songs hold much importance or impact also. Probably nothing drastic happened? Or there isnt any improvements in any relationships that might have a common song that could have made an impact? Shall see. Singers like Gary, Mayday, Jingru, amei(if the standard is maintained there) and Fir and now , Jay...i will buy their cds de. Thats all ba. Will nv forget what Jingru's songs had and continue to give me. Most of her songs give me alot of insights . Tough to list them out.
Its a long post. If u managed to REALLY i mean REALLY finish reading the post. I salute u. Tag me and i'll congrat u. (its also ok if u're a slient reader. I know there are slient readers ard. Thanks)
Jiu zhe yang ! Bye for now. Shane's post is MUCH shorter than mine. Impressived by my own lila-ing skills. XD
Well i went by Shane's blog a moment ago and he blogged abt the songs that 'grew up' with him. I thought it was nice, to reminisce. I did blogged about the different songs at my different stages of life years ago when i was packing my cd rack. It was a general one and was typed in chinese.
Now to recall, there are really some songs that really was and will continue to stay in me. Over the years i had many 'favourite' songs but there is this particular song that will give me a special feeling. Its 旧项链 by Sammi Cheng. I dont know why but will feel like tearing so i seldom sing that song unless i have the mood to.I'll always think of those sec sch co days. Ling, shushu and I will always do a 'Heiiii' action which is always so comical that we will break into laughter w/o fail. (Now if u are to ask y it was so laughable, we are unable to answer u already. We are all grown ups now. Thats the reason y there are things that we cant explain.) Everything that has happened in Perth was still so vividly in my mind tho it has been 8 years already.
I recalled all the tiring but fulfilling CO practices. All the proud performances and the 'prestigious' SYF compeitions. I do miss my CO days and the whole bunch of nice YQ pple. Used to chat q. frequently with weiwei when i was in sec 2 i think, used to chat daily with shushu during those boring afternoon when we were sec 3 and i always rem we'll end the calls at evening time cos he needs to brew tea and wait for mother to come home =.= (haha and if i am not at home at certain timing, he will have 'trouble' talking with my AH MA... LAUGHS),used to chat with 'amos biao di' at the wee hours of the night that my mother always nag at me,used to chat with piyang to attempt to break our record of chatting the most number of hours over the phone. (I think my highest record was still chatting with her. Whole night long. Can u imagine? )LOL I used to hog the phone at home when i was much younger. I dont really chat on phone now maybe i turned boring liao. Maybe its becos of handphone sms-es. People dont chat on phone now, they sms. LOL
Ha.Also, good to boost that under us seniors, YQ grp seems to be the one of the most united grps in NASCO. The bonds were there. Those days i always spent my saturdays with fellow CO-YQ pple at Tampines Mall. It lasted for a long while (seriously, there isnt anything much at TM, we are just mere walking and talking and playing at toy'r'us.) CO = goodie. Although i am not a professional player, i enjoyed this kind of big group life. lol...YQ used to have activities during festive season like mooncake festival, christmas etc etc but over the years its diminishing =[ but memories and photos are there to keep. Well, at least once in a while i still in contact with my 'piyang biao mei'.
*Since 6 out of 7 pple in TLT were also CO members, so we had fun tog too. Keke. I think its CO that kept us glued together.
Although i always claimed that the 2 Jc years were my best schooling days throughout my whole 20 odd years of education, sec sch days were also wonderful.
One whole chunk. =.= U can skip the rest if its too long.
Somehow songs like 订做一个天堂，心动？（林佳义的），哭不出来 and I love my City will make me feel embarassed. LOL Ling will understand why. Those songs used to be songs that we sang for parents' night, talent quest or music test. LOL ... I think all the while i overestimate myself. LOL I am just a normal person who can sing. Can sing doenst mean can sing well. LOL can sing simply means i know the tone. But anyway , its an experience ya? Nowadays there are so many 'singing' compeitions or watever nots, this made everything so common and popular. But its kinda rare and must be ONZ enough to be able to do those when we were back then in sec sch days. Kuddos to Ling and I . =D No wonder we self crown that we were zui jia pai dang then. LOL. Yes. We'll nv forget the whole grp of 订做一个天堂 peeps who cant really sing. LOL probably its only u,me and cheesiang are ok. (Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh....) I wonder if any of the parents remembered that performance? LOL my parents said it was bad. Laughs.
Then we have certain songs with certain people.
Ling : 微笑的理由(hahaha i rem the practicing on bus 27 on way back frm airport. Ling!!! u rem ma? <--she has serious memory prob) ,最想环游的世界(i rem for slacker's Inn, during my turn i specially chose this song.)
Ruiyi:有时候，明天的我依然会微笑 and some other real oldies that we enjoy singing qing chang or while waiting for oral exams or during bus trip .有你在and最快了那一年 these 2 songs had special meaning de.世界唯一的你 she is the only person who practiced the song for me. Touched altho she dont really know how to appreciate Gary.
Huiyin: Lover's concerto. She enjoys hearing me sing that song every now and then. Even on bus 293 on the way home she will always see me off and made a loop back.
Yilinn: A jap folk song that she taught me during viet days. I still rem the tone tho i cant recall the words.(i had a copy of the 'lyrics' , no worries)
Xiaoying: F.I.R. Best partners ever.BUT! sliding le.
Mixed grp (the animals) : peggy's and elva's classic songs.Always very high-ed.
Lynn: 地老地老天荒天荒 or wadever de by powerstation de ，第一天(tog with rest of TLT k kakis)
Singsing:至少还有你 cos i had a nightmare becos of that.
Keith: 夜夜夜夜 and 勇气 （fast pace version)
Jinxing: 你最珍贵(first duet song and its well done tho we didnt win during the sing com on my 21st.)，爱了就算 and 水晶(cos i like this song very much cos its sweet and i like it when we sing. Sounds nice)
Hope i didnt miss out anyone and our zao pai songs ya ?
Another 1 whole chunk. If you still not tired then continue lo
There are some songs which will just make u tear w/o fail
转圈圈(jingru de)
Shane said he grew up hearing Andy's songs, for me i have q. a number
Since young mother likes feng fei fei and zhen ni so i grew up listening to them. I knew most of their songs. Deng li jun too. I used to always k these oldies with my mother. Oh and some childhood songs. I dont rem the title but i know how to sing... the ah men ah qian yi ke pu tao shu.. ah nen ah ya yi zhi gan fa ya.students nowadays still singing it ! Then another one is the stool one. Xiao ban deng bai yi bai , xiao peng you men zuo shang lai...cant rem the middle part ... hong long long long long hong long long long long hong long long long long HOO ... lol ... last time my kor needa mother to pai pai pigu then can sleep de then she always sing those 2 fav. (It was her fav too) I myself i like a soldier song but i dunno how to sing now le. Last time we had alot of children songs at home de then we will play the cassette.Next time i will sing to my children too!
After that my korkor is q. crazy over xiao hu dui and also bought guo fu cheng de cassette. So i get to hear it. Oh Jimmy lin too. Jimmy lin and sun yao wei were my favourite then. Haha korkor listen to radio i follow. So i know q. alot of old songs de. Last time every sat will have channel V de listing on channel 8 then got mtv, my kor will videotape those songs he like de then will play it.

Random post.
Seems like tho i'm enjoying my personal time and space during this hols, it is a no-life one.So, i decided to blog in some random photos taken by my hp.
Cant exactly rem when was it. Hmmmmm but my cousin bought these sweet little things for us from Raffles hotel. It really look delicious.(i hope its not the 'brand' that is influencing me...hiak) Anyway, becos i dont really have a sweet tongue and i dont really eat cakes, i didnt really eat it. My brothers said :'it's nice!'.Ya, for sweet stuffs, we can count on them.

My brothers said :'it's nice!'.Ya, for sweet stuffs, we can count on them.
Dont know whether the words can be seen or not but well its not important la.(the font seems small to me now...but i am not going to edit it. plain lazy) Anyway do u know now Fish & Co has this delivery service? Cool isnt it? I think its on trial. (I think its not available in ALL branches yet.)But too bad i dont stay near parkway parade. Nevertheless, Fish & Co. is easily available at most of the places mah, so it doesnt really matter to me if there is delivery or not. In fact i am q. skeptical about that idea. 'Huh? u mean u delivered them(seafood?) w/o it being soggy?' Well, i cant verify that tho. Just that i feel that the food and quality that Fish & Co. serves as compared to the normal fast food restuarants or za cai fan catering or pizzas, i cant imagine them having delivery service. LOL i'll be impressed by how they keep up to their standard. Blar blar blar... but again, if i want to eat Fish & Co, of cos i prefer dining in la! I dont mind paying for he ambience(if there is) or service(since its good.). Just relax and have a meal out of my house. Get hooked but its expensive.
Alrighty, this is the first time tat i really did a decent henna. I thought it's nice. Eh the design is nice, not my fat hands. XD. It was done by one of my students' parent. She didnt want me to pay but i insisted since it will ultimately go to the school.In the end it was at a discounted rate. Well its done during our I&E carnival. LOL. (side track)Actually being a teacher is a nice job , minusing all the stress , deadlines blar blar blar. In short, if teaching is only about teaching, i can foresee myself in this job forever. (too bad teaching is not only abt teaching =[ )
I simply love these booths! I know it has been there q. sometime already but i still tot its a great idea by giving the booths a life! I love those art pieces. I'm just wondering how many such booths are there? Maybe i shall get someone to walk all over cityhall(central area) to snap at all these booths. Anyone interested?
Yea just did some random purchases becos i need it. My adidas retired. I wore it for like 4 years and i wore it q. often, so it started to protest months ago. I can only wear dear adidas during sunny day. I'll still wear it becos i like them. I wanted to find another adidas friend to accompany my old one but i didnt really get to see any that i fancy of. So, I got a nike to acc it. I like it becos its creamy yellow. I like it becos its plain. I like it becos its comfortable.Ehto i bought that sling bag becos mine CMI already.Since its on sale and its real cheap, regardless if its an old design, i just go for it. As long as the color, size is suitable and its practical. And the handbag in the second pic was given to me as my b-day gift months ago and recently i got a blouse at marks and spencer which i tot it might just be suitable to acc it. However, after that i tot it looked q. clash. LOL
Oh yes. I'm now back to a bit of mapling. After stopping for more than a year, i dont really see a point in chiong-ing lvl. Just play it for leisure.But i guess i'll stop playing it after another 2 more lvl-ing. LOL
