More fun times!

Life in the staff room has been rather entertaining lately...
.
Before assembly.. when you are half awake at your desk.. Suddenly.. Mr Yong arrives and started becoming high over soccer!! Even teachers began to amuse themselves with their self-made chinese new year deco... After lessons... ffw and ain would just like TOTALLY go crazy... haha... I won't even bother describing the things they did!!! hmm.. though I'm kind of the youngest amongst them.. I sometimes feel otherwise!! =D Hahaha... but it was fun =D
.
Work has been alright so far =) just a couple of presentations to prepare.. boards to design... and papers to mark... etc..
.

here's wat the teachers did!

and there's some more!

Wanted to go back to Crescent... but sadly it was too late already =( ... soo... we decided to go out for lunch and shopping instead.. Lunch was at some teppanyaki place in Cine... We were like talking halfway and suddenly a HUGE fire appeared in front of us!!! Shock of our lives!!!!

Ate at fish and co... at the glass house... after that... went walking around in Plaza Sing for a while.. then... played some cards at the coffee club and had a light supper =D

-------------------------------------------------------

Yeah... done.. back to CNY activities =D

first? or last?

First class outing in the Year 2009... ...
The 'class size' is already beginning to diminish as more and more of us step into NS..
This photo... it really have a different feel and I guess all of us look SLIGHTLY more mature now.. =)
Dinner was at NYDC... and it was freezing cold in there...
Post-dinner activity was relaxing... we played some games... sang some songs... talked.. etc..

Well... I hope we'll keep in touch still alright.. =)

School's STILL the best!

School's been FUN so far! =D

Though I haven't exactly started with teaching yet.. but it was STILL not as boring as I had imagined...

Just look at what I did today! :

• Went for morning assembly
• Had breakfast from 8 -10 am !!!!!
• Work a while...
• and before we knew it.. it was LUNCH TIME!
• Corner seats are REALLY condusive for slping... hahaha..
• Work a little more.. [haha.. it wasn't exactly work actually.. more on upgrading of my Microsoft Words skill :/ahh.. !!! ]
• AND..... before I know it.. time to go!!! =D
  

Yesterday? :

• Went down to the biopolis with some students..
• I gotta direct the bus driver to the place coz he didn't know how to go.. and neither did I ... so I was practising my 'reading signboard' skill? [HAHA.. thankfully it wasn't that bad.. =D ]
• There were talks on UK and US universities and it sort of made me regretted a bit not applying for US ... =(
• and I also begin to think whether I had applied for the right course.. oh man!!
• Suddenly felt stressed over scholarships and uni stuff..
  

First day of work:

• I didn't know I had to work that day..
• I thought I was juz going down to settle some admin stuff ..
• So I came in jeans and casual clothes... totally don't look like a relief teacher! :/
• Anyways.. I made new friends =D
• Mark papers.. and it's an experience man!
• Sneak into NJ's hostel and we ALMOST bumped into Ms Sharon Phua :/ ..
  

------------------------------------------------------

wow... time actually flies in work... talking about A'lvl stuff during lunch and breakfast really made me feel so scared!! .. I cannot imagine how I'll feel on that day.. [just before the announcement of the results] ...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!

whole day out!

I'm feeling extremely tired today!

Yesterday... ... I did all the things that I could have possibly do in A DAY !!!

Started out with TWO hours of badminton ... [hahaha ...it is totally not surprising that I woke up with a terrible muscle ache today... ] and... my shoe kind of gave way during badminton... but thankfully my parents were nearby and they got me a new pair of BATA SHOES... Lol !!

Played pool a while... and out of dunno how many games we played.. I only won ONCE!!! .. hahaha ..

Shop at places that I seldom go such as TIMES, world of sports, and some GOLF shop.. LOL!! =D

Watched a movie... called Ong Bak 2... It was in Thai... and I didn't understand it.. hahaha.. I think only those fairy tale stories then I can understand =D

Ate SIX times... not bad.. and supper was SPAGHETTI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [I think I'll probably have put on at least ONE kg =D] - hopefullyy... ...

Reached home at 10.30pm ... luckily BUS 75 was kind to me... came right away !!!!! =D =D

---------------------------------------------

Tired.. but it was sure fun! ... and funny! .. and thanks for the book! =D

[outdoors]

Singapore Zoological Gardens... [2nd jan]

.

First visit to the zoo this year... which was rather obvious since only one day of 2009 had passed since then.. =D getting there was a real problem for me... aside from the fact that our bus fares were exceedingly high now.. mandai is one area that I'm extremely unfamiliar with... I took bus 927 from Choa Chu Kang MRT... only to realize that it went back to somewhere near upper bukit timah which was actually very NEAR where I am staying! Haha.. I ended up being late!!! and I didn't exactly know where to alight.. so I kind of predicted that most pple in the bus should be going to the zoo.. and thankfully I was right! =D

.

It was raining... sad... but luckily we all brought umbrellas and the sky decided to be kind to us just after a while.. the zoo hadn't changed much since my last visit last year.. except maybe the white tigers looked a little more tame now.. come to think of it... It was really funny coz we are always taking pictures with fake animals there - they're much easier to access than the REAL ones.. the kangaroos were so lazy... I didn't even get to see any of them jump... or hop... and the giraffes appear a little short to Jess.. the leopard is sleeping.. Man!! it seems that the gene pool is getting weaker when we keep animals locked up like that... some really had very little space to move in... quite sad rite...

.

Although I believe that the animals are being treated well in the zoo.. but locking them up in the zoo just for us humans to see may be a little cruel.. they should be out there in the wild... surviving with their own instincts.. how is it going to be like if it was the other way round? locking up humans for animals to see? haha.. I dunno... Juz random thoughts I guess.. yet.. zoo is actually one of my favourite places in this small island we are living in... hmm..

.

The monkeys are slightly luckier.. got such a big place to wonder around.. and one even tried to STEAL my food!!! ... so mischievious! ... haha!

.

Not forgetting the extremely expensive chicken rice that I took there! :/

.

Well.. but overall.. I think I had a great time =D

.

Dinner was at swensens.. and we played pool after that.. [thanks for that! =D]
.
Some Pics:

The real zebra crossings!

and the goats are attracted to my food!! .. they're really cute!

---------------------------------------------------

.
Class Outing...
.
Attendance wasn't that good... well.. I guess everyone's working now that's why.. we had lunch at Cafe Cartel and heard some interesting stories about army life.. [sounds exciting to me.. haha!]
.
Went to the arcade for a while... and we were watching this guy killing some monster and I thought that was very very boring.. hahaha.. but apparently he attracted a really large crowd... Jamie said he was very pro that's why...
.
Watched Ip Man... ya... and it was a nice show.. even though it was in Chinese.. the Kung Fu was REALLY good.. and the movie was a little touching too..

---------------------------------------------------

.
Guess I had been rather bored these days... spending my time either with my parents or with my computer.. working on a presentation.. and I just helped someone with her bio research project this afternoon... HAHA!! bio!! ... [the subject that I hated in Sec 4]
.

Since I was so bored.. I was looking through my cupboard and guess what I found.. my NCC uniform!!!!!! So I decided to try it on again... just wondering how I look like the last time!

Fierce rite?
