school is making me fat.
everytime i have breaks in between classes i eat because i have absolutely nothing else to do in the staff room. i am so free most of the time that even my mouth itches and i feel slightly embarassed and disgusted at the timetable i was given because it seems as though i have all the time in the world whereas the other teachers are slogging away like mad. maybe it's because of my 3 hours break everyday (mind you it's 6 blank slots on my timetable cos one slot is 1/2 hr) and my CT doesnt assign me other stuff to do. so i just sit there and do my own things (which i try to limit to the area of education but it's too hard - msging or daydreaming away is easier most of the time) and so i am extremely tempted to bring a book with me to read tmr so that i feel that im not plainly wasting my time. today i just sat on my desk and pretended to be busy looking at my organiser, arranging redundant stuff so i appear preoccupied. but i dont think i can continue pretending like this till the end of the week (which feels very far away btw) because it's seriously not very nice to see other fellow colleagues busy preparing lesson plans, marking endless pile of workbooks and gobbling down lunch. luckily, i have a fellow colleague from nie, nurul who faces the exact situation as me. so during our common free breaks, in order not to be spotted lazing around or chatting too much in the staff room, we'll rather go to the canteen and spend 2 hours talking, eating and dilydaly-ing our time away. while the other teachers spend about 15 minutes eating, we on the other hand have plenty of time to spare. so much time that we actually QUEUE for our food!
i've been napping alot in the afternoon after i come home from school, really cannot take it. dont know how im gonna survive teaching full time in the future.

ok so school/work officially started today. i was actually looking forward to waking up in the morning at 6am and i was quite excited the night before. mad rush this morning because shirt didnt match skirt, skirt didnt match another shirt et cetera and so well, i was late (made worse by waiting 7 minutes for train it that was slow and needless to say, sardined packed). brisk walking to school with long sleeved shirt and a tight skirt is no joke, i was perspiring like a mad cow even though i just had a rather cold shower with damp hair awhile ago :( swear i never felt happier to enter the cold general office. flag raising ceremony and introduction of the new teachers and attached teachers later during assembly to the whole school. all the primary school kids had like white thick hairbands and PINK bags! and it's really scary how many pink bags there were. practically, it was a sea of pink! and then mrs bheem was too cute when she decided to pick out 6 students at random by class and register no. to come up to the stage and tested whether they can remember our names! how lovely is that! i love CHIJ (:

i had a satisfying dinner this evening with family and on top of that,
I HAD DURIAN at serangoon central! :D tasted soo good yums.
i always love family get-togethers. be it for dinner, gathering, or just casual meet-ups, i simply love chilling and talking cock with them. catching up on a week's worth of happenings seem so interesting all of a sudden. you hear them complain about work, rant about the daily mundane routine of waking up in the mornings, joke about family stuff, update on GSS and the latest trends and all, you just cant run out of anything to talk about. and so, i cant wait for this sunday to come! cos my whole entire family (maternal) is going to genting for 3 days! wheeeeeeeeeee. a busload of people! (27 pax)
this week i have some catching up to do with friends.
szewei, char, ansel before going away.
and i think i still need to go shoppping for work clothes :(

sex and the city is THE new entertainment at night. although it doesn't get me as excited and high as when i watch gossip girl, it serves as a pretty good substitute i guess. life's been pretty boring as i expected it to be. except for the birthday party i just attended a few days ago and weekends meetup with the bf and enjoying simple family dinners. but i better enjoy this two weeks of total freedom before primary school routine starts for me again. waking up early in the morning for flag raising and facing those cute monsters can be very tiring especially after such a slack period.
GSS - hasnt impacted me.
cloudy days - too moody to go out
so it's just staying at home and reading my books. i like to be a closet geek wahahahaha (:
and i did something to my hair. it's straighter now but too straight for the time being. maybe im just not used to it. but i like running my fingers through it cos it feels so smooth and err different haha! but i definitely miss my curls :( never mind, for the sake of more manageable hair!
happpy birthday addy, this is for you.

alright these few days have been just slacking at home, doing some reading, sleeping at four am in the morning and going out.
ansel is starting work next monday and i'll be even more bored.
anyway im thinking of changing piano teacher. currently my teacher is soo nice and kind and doesnt pressure you to do anything you dont like to play that i cannot continue to have her! i need someone who is down right strict and fierce and pushes me to my fullest potential cos i've been stuck in this diploma stage for 7 fucking years! :( i need to move along now. quick. over and done with. so i've decided to take on ms vickie goon (if this is how you spell it), this tomboyish female teacher that took me for half a year in grade 7 and scolds me till i nearly cried. but she has got a doctrate in music and she has high expectations! so that will spur me to strive for excellence and this is exactly what i need - motivation.
