before i boarded the bus this afternoon, i suddenly had a feeling that i was gonna see a kumon kid on the bus. and guess who i saw!! i saw daiki, the super handsome half jap, half chinese boy who left kumon a few months ago! i sneakily sat behind him and eavesdropped on his conversation with his mum. haha i'm such a kaypoh. he's still as cute as ever! his mum was obviously in a good mood that day cos the last time zhisheng saw them, his mum was scolding poor him in public and was being utterly horrible to him.

cyril cyrus and celeste

i'm really sad now! i found out today that it was cyril, cyrus and celeste's last day at kumon! apparently they're moving over to the rivervale branch cos their primary school is just opposite that branch. i've watched them grow up this past 1.5yrs so i'm gonna miss them terribly when they're gone.

photos taken a yr plus ago. now they've grown so much.. the twins are so good looking now and celeste is so pretty with her new haircut.

avril lavigne - when you're gone (sims version)

haha i happened to see this on youtube when i was looking for the avril lavigne video. it's really quite cool, it has a storyline and all. i really wonder how long the person played the game in order to film the scences and get the necessary actions from the sim characters! i dont think i have the patience for this kind of stuff

avril lavigne - when you're gone

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone



we were at teo heng today and gun happened to choose this song to sing. it was my first time watching the video and it's actually quite sad, esp the "story line" for the old man. i have this thing about seeing old people alone and by themselves.. maybe it's because of my innate fear that one of my grandparents will be gone one day..

merry christmas!!



Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had a good one and ate loads of yummy food and had loads of nice presents!

My christmas this year was rather low-key cos my whole extended family didn't have a christmas party cos of all the date clashes. so i spent christmas eve with zhisheng and my brother while my parents went to church. christmas morning was at church for a drama and after that it was a small party at porks' place!

sweater loving

oh my gossssh, it's things like these that make me wanna abandon my whole save-money-scheme









(the back)


loooooovee the colour!! i'm such a girl at heart haha


look at the details and the material, so nice and knit-ish

same cardigan in two other fantastic colours:





love this scarf!

a sweater from forever21.. adorable but would prefer it without the huge deer logo at the corner


i have no idea why i'm so into sweaters these days.. must be the cold weather that singapore doesn't experience as much. just feel like wearing them, curl up in bed under my covers and sleep the night away. and of course, these would be great if i get to go to uk or canada. one major problem is, i need to save money! besides, i have too many cardigans bleh

new layout! wow, blogskins.com really has a lot of layouts! it felt like window shopping, just that you're shopping for layouts instead. had quite a number of choices but i've narrowed it down to this.

these were my favourites but i couldn't use them cos my youtube videos kinda screw up the layouts. nonetheless, i'll leave the links here just in case i wanna use them in the future.
(1) take me away
(2) my days in prague
(3) playground love
the third one is usable but i currently love collage layouts so this wins =) looking at all these layouts makes me miss designing. i've been wanting to design something for this site but i'm just so lazy! procrastination, tsk tsk.

How Six Songs Collide

This is simply amazing. He managed to combine all 6 songs so seamlessly into one song, it actually sounds like an actual song! WOW. i think i'll take years to create something like this haha. he has other compilations on youtube.. just search for norwegian recylcer. but this is definitely my favourite!

grey's anatomy - me so saaad

i'm not exactly a fan of grey's anatomy (but that's because i haven't bothered to start watching it hehhh) but i found this somewhere and it's damn cute! i've been wanting to start watching esp during the one month dec break. but gossip girl has been entertaining me for a bit so i'm pretty much lazy to start on grey's. maybe i'll try again the next semester break heh

i just got back from my first day at the kovan branch! the teachers there are realllly friendly and essei, ben's mum is super nice! their system there is rather different from punggol's and i'm not sure which is better. as a result, i've to do quite a bit of adjusting. for example, kovan uses the circling method while punggol uses the ticking method. i'm amazed i didn't make any marking errors so far. the kids there pack their own homework so that means i'll have to plan on the spot and that makes everything so hectic and stressful at times. and i have to handle the pre-school kids too so it gets a bit tiring. but seeing benedict, jonatha and dora again really made my day. well, i believe they were glad to see me haha. benedict starting bombarding me with questions about the punggol centre and couldn't stop talking. jonathan is still as adorable as ever!

Friday, December 14, 2007

wow this is quite exciting for me. i woke up this morning to a sms from an unknown number. it turned out to be benedict, jonathan and dora's mum! ok a brief history here, they are 3 of my favourite kids at kumon but they left the punggol branch in october cos their mum opened one kumon branch in kovan. on their last day, benedict asked for my number so i gave it to him, thinking he was gonna call me or something. to cut a long story short, benedict gave my number to his mum for safekeeping. just this morning, when she was trying to look for teachers for her centre, she remembered that she has my number so she decided to ask me for help! i immediately agreed since it's the hols now and i don't mind working extra hours on top of my hours at punggol. i need to save all the money i can for the UK/Canada trip! secondly, i get to see the 3 kids again! how exciting! =D

the dreaded exams are finally over but i only have a month of break, bleargh. nonetheless, the feeling of not having to study really rocks! i can watch all the shows i've been missing out online, shop online, shop in the real world, laze around the house, sleep in - all these without feeling guilty!
