studying....to help my bro in his studies
~Tuesday 5 August 2008~
i told the boss that i will be changing to part time early because of family matters. and she said yes..wah i am relieved..been thinking of how to tell her..and luckily opportunity shows up on her own, boss wants to talk to me about the changing to part time.
it was a last minute decision again...i was told to stay back late for the seminar and the trial class the next day...i thought i was safe from doing it....in this place,no one gets to run away unless they are being favoured.

I watched anime called Hataraki Man. It is about this female editor in the publishing company who is a workaholic. Because of work, she sacrificed a lot. When she is concentrating hard on her work, she changes to turbo mode and tada! she does her work very fast...plus she looks so cool and professional when she does that.
Hataraki ManIn the end, her bf left her because he felt inferior and they are so busy to make time for each other. Thus, she felt very down because all along, she thought she can handle both love and work well.
I like the Ending lines:
" There are nights when you cry, dwelling on the sacrifices you make for your job
but...
there are mornings too when your job is your salvation!!"
it is true that i have been feeling demoralised because of my work. i want to give up..seeing the bad situation...and blah blah..those negative factors kept running in my mind..but i couldn't let go..i can't break the trust in the parents...i will miss my little students..who are so friendly with me now..i enjoy preparing class work and doing my job..i enjoy my fellow work buddies's company. The specific lines in the anime brought back my confidence...i am telling myself: I can do it! Aja aja fighting~~
Today, starting work late because i am doing the night shift...
so i was lazing around at home, enjoying my anime..when an email notice popped up..and without thinking, i pressed it. ahhh!!!! i can't reveal what it is..but it is kinda important to me..today, i bumped into it again. (=_=)..please sky, stop trying to remind me...i don't know what you want to achieve at the end of all these...just give me a break, won't ya?
accompany SH to buy coffee...and on our way back to the office, saw this middle aged man. firstly, he throw something invisible in the air towards the building and then with his hands outstretched and admiring our building...seems like the person wasn't in a sane state. SH didn't notice..till i told her to walk the other way, and not getting near the man.
no time to eat my dinner and also the birthday cake...Today is aunt's birthday..HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! haha "kuku moya"...heez
supposed to have a birthday celebration for all august babies...but this event popped up without us knowing in advance...so it is postponed.
taught 2 toddlers in trial class..haha the fathers' thinking is the same...they felt that the classwork is tough for their precious kids...they don't want to stress them so hard before the schooling age.
SH is getting very forgetful..she wanted to buy coffee but she forgot her wallet..she left her thumbdrive in office and the next day, called me frantically. (>_<) she really needs her rest.
I overheard that boss wasn't pleased with certain consultants just because they didn't close any deals.
This scene reminded me of Hataraki Man...in the anime, the boyfriend changed job to a salesperson.
He said that "sales is a thankless job. When salesperson did well, no one thanked them. When they had no sales at the end of one day, supervisors will be criticising them. "
Hmm, it is not easy to have sales.
In life, we have ups and downs. It is impossible to have ups every day right? As long as the person did his/her best within her control, it is sufficient le. Some things are just beyond our control.
I was standing near the photocopy machine when all of a sudden, HY came in with a serious tone: "I want to ask you a question. "
Wah, gave me a scare...' is he going to scold me? what did i do?'
aiya HY wanted to tell me about his joke...boss's english mistake about mozart..haha so funny!! That's why i feel so fortunate that i know English.

GH woke me up in the morning via her phone call.
huhuhu didn't practice my dance or even do my own thing.. i will be in charge of my bro's studies..so have to do some preparation
heez playing my psp... suddenly SH called me..searching frantically for her thumbdrive...die liao..she is getting very absent minded...
i went to take a short nap...heez today raining heavily..a good time to sleep.. i have different emotions when rain comes...this time, i feel like just hiding under my blanket, feeling very small and at the same time, feeling down too... so lazy to go out.
D called me in the middle of my nap, just to tell me the movie starts at 7 instead of 7.15pm. (=_=) i rushed there loh..knew going to be running late... bad situation...his hp low batt..so difficult to tell him i will be slightly late... i reached there and he told me that it is really 7.15pm. (=______=) since it is early, then just walked around aimlessly loh. he suddenly said that he want to buy tissue..huhh for wat? he heard that the movie is gonna be sad..he scared that i will cry so he wants to buy tissue..haha it is ok..i will try my best not to cry...usually if i am watching a sad movie with a very good friend, i will cry out de...but this case, he is my senior at work, so don't know him that well, then will control my crying.. my appetite is getting smaller so won't be eating dinner...he was joking...must eat ah..later u faint how...
We watched Money no enough 2...wah really good leh...but a bit too long ah..haha very funny at the beginning..after that it swinged to very emotional...yes and i cried...my heart breaks into a million pieces especially because of the grandmother. Must go watch leh...very good show...really depicts what almost every household is facing... the cinema is so coldd..brrr....relieved that i brought my jacket to keep me warm..but it is not enough..freezing leh...

i was the earliest to reach among the teachers. haha saw the Burger King Coupons on MM's table..wah so tempting to eat that during lunch. A few of us agreed to eat at BK for lunch. Can't wait! but we walked to far east ...and there wasn't any BK...so we ate at LJS instead. haha
During lunch, Aunt demonstrated how the manager was practising before his speech..it was hilarious.
I was called to take a trial class...the mothers are not supposed to be in the classrooms but they insisted to be inside. Sigh..One of the mothers kept bombarding me and aunt with questions but i don't have time to answer her queries...in the first place, they are late...so i have to speed up my teaching. After work, I feel a bit under the weather...forehead getting warm...i don't want to be sick... anyway, SH wanted to walk around in Far East...so i accompanied her.. i told her something and her response was shocking....cannot be lah..don't scare me leh...but i am amused on how she derived that answer...

went out with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays... ahh our birthday celebrations were long due liao...so no matter what, must go out together ah and have a fun time! i only this rare slot to go out...if miss this, i don't know when will be the next time to go out...our working days clashes in the first place.
We promised to meet at Boon Lay Mrt in the morning. Wah i got a shock when i alighted there. I thought i alighted at the wrong stop...cos there were tall buildings surrounding it thus making the mrt station very dark. It wasn't like that, the last time i went.
We exchanged presents and the things that we owed each other...now i don't need to keep so many reminders in my mind.
Next, to bugis junction to walk around...
then to marina square to have our lunch at swensens...with chocolate fondue!! Our first time eating chocolate fondue...the ice cream is so nice! But a bit too much leh...not all the fruits go well with the chocolate though...i think they should put that on the menu as chocolate fondue for 2 people with a hearty appetite rather than chocolate fondue for 2 people.
lastly to kbox at marina square...sing for four hours nonstop.....come to the point when i couldn't continue singing cos i am close to having sore throat and losing my voice. We had fun there!! haha...
To sum it all, this is a happy day to go out~~Happy Belated Birthdays!!
