last day of school, 10th November 2009

86 more days to the last day of school. I'm seriously thinking how I should spend my days after I finished school but currently I am being so lazy to even start on my assignments.

This is definitely not helping.

10th November, last day of school!

10th November will be my last day of school!! Whoooo! I really cant wait and I'm seriously counting down. No more assignments and travelling to NOVENA!! That amount of time and cab fare I can save is making me so excited, really can't wait.....

exactly 100 days to go!!!

so many things I wanna do after that...
concentrate on work...
tuition...
play..
beach...
diet.... (actually I can do it now, just that the stressful life is causing me to eat and eat)
catch up with my friends...
movies...
driving...
more vacations... hong kong... taiwan... and graduation in Perth...
swimming...

Those were the days....

Been struggling to adjust to the hectic life in Singapore... thinking back on those days when I...

took the 24 bus to UWA childcare centre in the wonderful winter season,
spent the time in UWA childcare centre with Hannah, Emi, Gina, Lucas, Amelia, Jordan, Luke, James, Zadie, Thomas, ChiHiro, Lyela, Elena, Daniel, Adam, Donna, Niki......... and more,
blogged in the Ngee Ann poly classroom,
had lunch and having breaks as a class of IT 15,
squeezed the lift together in poly,
stayed in mont clare apartment....

so much more......

Perth Aftermath

Work is getting insanely busy and crazy for me. I miss Perth!! I wish I could go back there to work. Been really demoralised by the workload and the culture over here. I can't use my theories and Australian style. It is really conflicting and I'm in a dilemma.

Missing everything there.

Can't wait for 11th November, my last day of school! No more assignments. I hope everything will be better!

Perth Update!

Yea, I'm going back to Singapore in a few days time and I can't wait to eat the food back in Singapore. We shall go somewhere nice for Singaporean Breakfast, what shall I eat? Nasi Lemak, fried bee hoon with chicken wings, my mother's curry, lasak, sweet and sour pork, fried hokkien mee, fried carrot cake... Wah. I'm drooling now.

I went to Fremantle last Sunday, and had really good seafood but I wasn't really enjoying it because I wish my family will be here to eat that with me!! Aww... I'm running out of money. Die die die...

I miss Singapore but then I want to stay in Perth for life. Hmm, hard choice.

day 4 and 5

On weekdays, my routine is the same everyday!

6:45am - Rise and shine and breakfast
8:00am - At the bus stop waiting for bus
8:45am - Reached Childcare Centre
12:00pm - Lunch
1:00pm - Work
5:00pm - Take the bus home
6pm - Reached home, cook, shower and rest
9pm - Homework
11:00pm/12:00 am - Sleep

Day 4
I cook spaggetti yesterday and it was yummy, at least to my tastebuds. I had bake broccoli with potato and cheese. Delicious! Haha. Work in childcare was happy and fun. It is really getting better each day. On the 3rd day, we were almost freaked out when the bus ended at a different stop which was so far away from home but day 4 was great! We kind of familiar oursleves with the streets here or at least 1km radius away from our house. Haha. Hannah brought me to the chinese supermarket and it was like heaven to me. Haha! I had a really good time shopping.

Day 5
Same routine for day, I had fun as well and I was able to come online for like 1hr 30mins. I fried rice and hashbrown for dinner, feeling so bloated now. Yum YUm. In school, we had pizza.

Day 3 in Perth

Connection here is pre-paid. So I'm in the rush over here. Day 3 was good. We were very worried over the child care centre we were posted to but everything turn out pretty well. We had a straight bus to the centre and the journey was only 30mins. Although buses come every 1 hour but they have designated time for the bus. We managed to work out the time pretty well.

We had a good day at the centre, everyone was really friendly but the difference between countries were huge. They believe on learning through play but we believe in stuctured learning. We came back in the same bus and was told that the bus ends at a different place. Hannah got really worried and we managed to take a free bus back to our house. The sun began to set at 5pm and it was really dark at 6pm, almost equavalent to our 8+pm.

Food was boring and I wish i have fried sliced fish bee hoon with extra milk from Yu Hua Market. I miss everything about Singapore, family, friends and my children but i dont have much time to think much too. Lots of work for us to do everyday. Will Try to update again.

Check out my facebook for pictures..

Before I Fly...

I met up with my friends on Friday, loads of them. I was quite surprised that some of them actually turned up, well, it's really good to have their company. Really appreciated the efforts that you guys made to come down.

Initially wanted to go over to Barnone, but we went elsewhere to chill instead. After that went over to eski bar to eat! We just love eating don't we?

It's been a long time since i last blog and i realised i'm actually getting bad at this. Thoughts used to flow quite smoothly but now, i had difficulty typing what i wanted to get through. Hmm.

my angels

Me: Next monday is my Birthday.

K1 Lotus Class: Huh, Teacher Ericia's Birthday???????

K1 Lotus Class: In school or at home?

Me: Do you want me to celebrate in school or at home? What cake would you like?

K1 Lotus Class: Spongebob, Chocolate, Bob the Builder, THOMAS AND FRIENDS!

Jordan held my hands and said: hmm, I don't know, you choose since you are the birthday girl.

School

Me: I am your teacher and all of you are my ........?

K1 Lotus Class: CHILDREN!

The right word is supposed to be "students" but yes, indeed you guys are my children.

=)

Busy... with phototaking and national day celebration!

Spot the similarity. =)

brown - Teacher Ericia

White with blue tick - Nicholas

Black - Nevan

White with lace sock - Nurul

Too bad my name doesnt start with a 'n'.

Too soon.

Okay i was too soon to blog about Dom's case, cause after that he doesn't pee in toilet bowl anymore, even though he was able to tell me not on diaper but in the toilet. Haha. I guess it just takes time. Anyway, I look forward for my phototaking session on Tuesday! Cant wait. Haha.

Great job, Dom!

Despite being so busy, I have to blog this down in case I forgot. For the past few days, I had been trying to toilet train Dominic but to no avail. For the first few times, he was actually afraid to go near to the toilet bowl, but after some encouragement, he was able to go near with some whining.

Today, as usual, before bathing, I brought him to the toilet bowl again and told him to pass urine. He was able to go near and stand in front of the toilet bowl for some time but he didn't pass urine. So after bathing, i asked if he wanted to go to the toilet and he nodded his head and this time round, he actually did pass urine in it! I was surprise as i didn't expect him to get it so quickly. When i asked him where should he go if he wants to pass urine, he was able to tell me "toilet!"

I was elated for himself and on the other hand, satisfied with myself. It proves that as long you have the patience, you will be able to do it. To others who think he can't, he actually can!

Great job, baby dom!

How can i not love them...

Now my class is totally not shy when it comes to taking photographs. They love it in fact. So first day of holidays, decided to snap their pictures!!

His 1st shot, his smile looks so reluctant.His smile still look so grumpy. 2nd shot! After I said, I want to see your teeth. 3rd Shot.

New haircut

My precious baby Dominic has a new haircut today! Botak!! Arrgh, dont think that suits him but then Persis said he looks better but hong and lu are on my side. So is 3:1, but after looking at him for long, i realised that it is not that bad afterall.

Well, at least most of the celebrities are having that botak hairstyle.

My Dear Baby Dominic

A week well spent

Took a break from work, should say I really did spend it wisely or at least i did try to do the things i wanted to do. Though there wasnt enough time, but at least i did most of the things i wanna to do.

Went Ikea on mon and got my book shelf. Thanks to my mum for accompanying me.

Tues, met up with rui and candy at PS. Great dinner and great company. Got my scrapping stuffs.


thurs, spent with my tuition kid the whole day! from 1pm to 11pm. went to his mum's stall to eat, movie(Horton), dinner at his place and had a long talk with his parents about his progress and they are still in denial. Can't believe it.

Fri, tuition again, went ikea with Huang, Wei lun and Ken. Bought things again.

Sat and Sun, slacked at home. Settle lesson plans and cleared my com out of junks.

Love the break and i wish i have longer break.. hmmm.. or rather endless break will be good.. hahhaa.. But i still miss my kids.. So glad that i'm going back tml.

No. 2

Thankful that I saw you. =)

My motivation.

Sunshine!

I scrapped Dominic's picture yesterday, spent around 4 hours to get it done. Somehow, didn't really come out the way i want but considering the fact that i had limited resources I'm quite satisfied with it.

Model for my new phone

Happy Holidays....

New year seems to get more boring as years passes.

Anyway within this 4 days, caught 2 movies with my cousins and granny. So sweet.

Both was okay not exactly nice but was quite funny at some parts of the film. I still want to watch Sweeney Todd. Johnny Depp! hehe =)

Back to work tomorrow. Sigh. Totally not in the mood for work nor school.

Moved on.

What a trip!

Went JB with hwee and her parents! Love it! Made a fruitful trip, got the things I wanted. Never so satisfied with my shopping stuffs before. Went over to her granny's place first, love those wings. Yum Yum! Like the mee siam too. =) Thanks aunty and uncle!

Time pass so fast, when you are doing things you like. Weekends are like seconds whereas weekdays are like minutes.

6 more days!

Jingle bells

It's holiday! Been to Shawn's wonderful birthday party, thanks for the invite. Thanks Km for the ride. The supper was great, it's been a long time since I last went to Timah for prata. Can't help it, since everyone is down with commitments!

Been slacking for 1 week, watching some dramas and staying up to watch 100% entertainment, end up sleeping for an average of only 5 hours per day. It's time I get down to work. Whole list of things to be done, new classroom deco, create worksheets, lesson plans. . . . . . the list goes on . . .

With so much to do, people help by pissing me off and making my day miserable. Give up? Take the sh*t?

9 more days.

Update.

I'm supposed to be diligently studying right now but i can't help it to come online and do some random updates. Tomorrow will be my last paper. After 8:30pm, i will be a free man! On the 2nd thought, maybe not. Need to prepare lots of progress cards and tidy up their worksheets. They are so fortunate to escape all those filing cause i hate filing!!

Tomorrow paper is going to be torturing cause she is out to give us a hard time but got to pray hard that i will pass it with at least a credit.

When for xiao zhu's autograph session on friday. It was okay and the crowd was good. It was a pity that he did not perform his latest song. Cant wait for the concert, 19 more days to go! You may say that i'm crazy but at least i get to do the things i love!

Went for Menaga's son 1st birthday. Cute little boy. The cake was good.

Cant wait for exam to be over. So many things that i want to do but i'm sure after exam , i will be slacking my time away instead of doing those things.

I want to watch OC.
Eat over at Hwee's.
Scrapping.
Shopping with Chris.
Read!
Prepare teaching aid (it's a must)
Play DS!
Enjoy the concert!
Chill out with MEL.
Meet up candy, rui and girls.
Meet up long, Zh and feng.

1 week break. Finally managed to survive the quarter. Still many more to come but I can overcome it. I bought Xiao Zhu's concert ticket, cant wait for the day to come. 3 more months to go.
First, teachers' day spent. Enjoyed myself at the chalet. Appreciate all the effort and gifts, especially the wallet from my supervisor. The best supervisor!

Meeting up with my buddies is the best thing that can happen in my hectic life even though the steamboat sucks. Haha. I miss Hwee, Feng, Long and Huang. Shall meet up soon! I miss Mari too, even though you bo sim. haha. =X

Love that call, that precious 10minutes.
Idiot, autistic, aunty, stupid, pervert and whatever you name.

busy!

Been very busy lately. I went back to school for photo-taking session with my class on thursday. Good to see everyone back though it's a pity that some couldnt make it. After the photo-taking session, 6 of us went to town for movie. Watched this show called adrift, a lousy show. It was boring and it makes you very fustrated. The food was yummy, cheese sticks, cheese fries and mash potato.

Friday, started work in this PAP at marsiling. Woke up at 6a.m. Kinda tiring. So far, Not too bad but the funny thing is those kids are very different from the one i see in kumon. hmm. Shall not comment further. Went shopping with my cousin and his gf after work at bugis and town. Did not buy anything.

So tiring. Happy that i'm going for my long waited massage tml!

My darling, Julian Matthew!!

It's so much easier to take pictures at the english side. Replaced hwee in kumon today but didn't manage to teach julian. sigh. He wore a pair of Tommy Hilfiger berms today! So cute!

Aftermath

Wow! More than 20 weeks of hard work, stress, rushing, fun and laughing ended today. Had our presentation today, all was well. A bit of giggling here and there. Was kinda sad, when both hwee and Wenna weren't free, was thinking of a lunch or dinner celebration. Very reluctant to go home, luckily rui called me up. Was a pity that her viva is tml, if not we can call for a celebration.

Looking back was really fortunate to be able to work together with hwee and wenna. Thinking back about how i dread this project, I love it in the end. I know i will really miss the studio, it's cosy and private even though the CCTV camera is there all the time. I really love the time spent together with them. Sigh. But we can still get together outside, ya? No KBox for wenna this fri!! No NO NO!

Celebrated my last day of poly by rewarding myself with sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Was freaking tired!

Full stop to my 3 years of poly life. Time flies, it really seems like yesterday when we just met. Played those interaction games, introduced ourselves, getting close, class chalet, birthday celebrations and the separation of classes, etc.

will blog more.

hehehe

Haven't been updating regularly, report's over!! Heaved a sigh of relief. "Celebrated" at Vivo right after the submission of report, worked till the last min and even though we went to the printing shop early till ended up like ants on the pan but at least it's all over now. Give myself a pat on my back, presentation next but i deserve a good rest, don't i?

The bake rice at swensens was hmmm.. mmm... hmmmm~~~~ though it serves 2 but i felt full sharing it with my girlfriends. Definitely worth it. Had fun at the bookshop, i love Goosebumps still loving it. haha. Night of the living dummy, Slappy! Gotta show u guys one day!! I didnt realise that little miss series cost $5+ for a book now. Wow, did the price shoot up? Dont think it cost this much during my time. I'm getting old. Realised something, the caterpillar book is really famous among the youngs not forgetting to mention brown bear brown bear. Haha.

While walking to the bus stop, we came across the BIG bookshop, so hwee and i decided to take a look inside. I was so excited cause i finally managed to find the book, Ripley's Believe it or not! Feeling really lucky as the book was on sale,bought it at 29,90. Hehe. Felt like an excavator who had just found a hidden treasure. Actually the whole big bookshop is a treasure place cause it sells books at a very cheap price. interested? It's located at harbourfront centre.

Back to kumon, will be working on thurs instead of tues. Sigh. Which means most prob, i wont be able to see julian for the rest of this month as he usually comes on tues and sat. Haven't been seeing him for a month.

But today, was called back to kumon which i gladly agreed. Julian's day. He's still adorable as usual and his lovely smile seems to bright up my day whenever i see him. He wore his track suit today, looking great! Left kumon early. =)

Rainbows

William and me!!!
























First of all,
Happy Birthday to Si Rui 30.12.06

31st Dec, last day of the year 2006

Went to Vila'ge for dinner to celebrate long's bday. Before that met up long and wei lun early to make a reservation. While waiting for the rest, I saw William and gang. Those familiar faces, kim luan, qing shun, jing li......... A great advance new year gift for me! Gald to know that they are doing great. We bought a watch for long and I guess he likes it.

After dinner, long and his friends went to club, while hwee and Dm walked me to starbucks, where fong's working at. David and Dh kept me accompany till 10 before going off to meet ben. Waited for fong to knock off and after which, we went to meet ben and neth.

Welcome year 2007 at vivocity. Slacked around out vivo with them together with 2 of fong's colleague. Went over to cineleisure for movie, watched night at the museum. It was hilarious! Highly recommended by me.

The Yummy Steamboat @ Feng's house!! thanks kaili and feng!!













Jasmine drew this shirt!! thanks! it's nice!!

25th Dec

Long's brother drove us to Feng's house. A pity that hwee couldnt join us. Kaili prepared a spread! It was a yummy dinner!! We finished a table of food and even the KFC we ordered! I played awhile of mahjong before Huang replaced me. So Feng offered me a few DVDs to choose from. So I watched Akeelah and the Bee!! It's really nice! Wanted to watch it long ago but as usual couldnt find a movie partner. Very satisfied!

Tooked a cab home with long. A day well spent!

Merry Chrismukkah to everybody!!!!!

23th Dec

Finally been to ViVO. Ate dinner at this Hong Kong cafe, the food was okie but the quantity was huge. Couldn't finish my "4 packets of Maggi Mee". Bloated. Burps. I bought a book at Page One. Though I'm not really suppose to as I still haven lay a finger on my REPORT!! ARGH!! 100 pages??? Thanks long for the gift, I like it very much!

After Vivo, we went over to Feng's house. As usual they were mahjong-ing, while I watched tv, meddle with feng's laptop, read my book and slept. haha. It was 4+am when they were done. Reached home and slept till 5pm,24th Dec.

24th Dec
Woke up rather late. Slacked awhile and headed off to BBBC at around 7+. Met Sharon at the bus-stop. Thought I was rather late but then I was in fact quite early! The bbq started quite late. So we sat down to talk while the guys started the fire and get everything ready. Hehe.

Then it was eating time, the bee hoon was nice!!!! 3.5 stars upon 5. Followed by game sessions under the lead of ting hui. We tried out different games, it was fun and hilarious to watch.

After the games, was the cake cutting ceremony. Haha, it's Robert's Birthday. Love it when they sing the birthday song, everyone singing it in harmony, I could really feel the power of BBBC!! hehe. We sang it 4 times!! hahaha.

Ling Zhi and Cindy came over to find me and Edward. It's really such a small world. Ling Zhi, my primary classmate is friends with Cindy, my poly sch mate and both of them know Edward, their secondary classmate! haha. Confusing right, not to mention Sharon who is my colleague and Zhi qiang's gf who are friends with my poly classmate, Huang. Okie, I admit I'm just trying to make my blog entry looks lengthy.

It was games, games and games after that. It was fun, playing and watching. We tried all the games in that games show. Everyone started out a noob and ended up being a champion. Haha. Especially ah cheng.

We packed up at 6+am. Lyndy and I went home together as usual!! hehe. Though I'm awake now but I'm still sleepy and not forgetting smiling. Going to Feng's house for steamboat dinner later. Yum Yum!!

Thank alot to Jasmine for the shirts she designed! I love it.

Updates...

Finally handed in our IHP end product. All those rushing, stay-overs, stressing, problem solvings were finally paid off. All we have to do now is to finish the final report and preparation for the presentation.

Though the process of doing our project wasnt easy but I enjoyed every single bit of it. It was fun working with hwee and wenna.

Celebrated wen feng's birthday at Marina Square. Had a wonderful dinner at changing appetites. Went off to esplanade for the cake cutting session. Huang came to join us after his D&D. Most of them went home, while Huang, Long, Shawn and me went to watch De JeVu. It's a movie worth watching.

Last Saturday, helped out in the centre Kumon ASHR ceremony, an event made to recogise and motivate the children hard work and effort. It was fun.

Visited Zaki, glad that he's getting better but such a pity he couldnt graduate with us.

Christmas's coming!

Merry Chrismukkah!
