while having dinner today, someone mentioned something which got me really upset cause it made me remember of the past n the fun times i had..i just sat there in silence..it made me realise i am still very much affected by it

distance should be kept..thats what i conclude this morning..

8:26 AM

     
i think recently i have been spending way too much money..been pampering myself with treats from various sources..as i typed that sentence somehow it sounds wrong..but anyway

i went to watch julie and julia with a friend recently..initially i didn't want to watch this show as i thought it will just be about 2 woman's life and i didn't know there will be cooking in it..however i went to watch it and i would say it was rather a good show except for the ending..it inspired me to buy julia child's cookbook and i went on a search hunt for her book at amazon..in case for ppl out there who do not know who she is, she is the author of this famous cookbook entitled ' mastering the art of french cooking'..this book was written actually for americans who can or do not know how to cook and apparently it proves to be simple that a person who does not know how to cook will still be able to produce amazing food after cooking the dish..anyway after comparing prices from various sources including local bookstore, i concluded that amazon was the cheapest even after working out the exchange rates..a new reprint version is coming out on 1 dec and it is way cheaper then the older versions..prob cause its new, the prices are relatively ok..with an original price of 89.95, i gladly purchased my copy for around 48 bucks!! i was very excited when i saw that the price has dropped cause originally i saw it for around 57 bucks..so while not concentrating at work one fine day, i made my purchase!! i even encouraged leroy to get it which he did!!haha..so now i have to patiently wait for my book to arrive which will take quite long..actually i haven bought anything from amazon before so i do not know how slow/fast they shipped things..

on a brighter note, i also purchased the baking book that julia child had and it has been shipped!!so i am patiently waiting for my book to arri ve then i would be able to try out some delicious pastries and ppl all of you would be able to try them..if its successful lar that is..

recently kees and i went to a new massage place at wheelock..it was a more posh place as compared to the previous place we went..however, there wasn't any jacuzzi that we could use..however the service and massage were definitely better and we signed up for 6 more sessions resulting in 500 over dollars being gone haha..well..it will last me for quite a while i guess..yay 1 more week till school ends..blissful haha..

8:26 PM

     
i feel so tired that i feel like giving everything up..with the amount of sleep that i am sleeping, it shows either i'm really depress or really free..so which is which?

10:29 AM

     
why is nothing going right :(

12:06 PM

     
its been a while again..many things always happen here n there n whether i am lazy enough to blog about it..for now these are just a few thoughts:

1) moving? would be moving house soon though i do not have a clue where i'm moving to..if its very far then the current sch would be an issue for next year..and i will get killed for changing sch

2) exams is coming up..can't wait actually..4 more days of teaching n its done for the year!!haha..

3) i think you must really like your job to do it..as the few months past i realise i like to plan different activities/curriculum but the teaching is a hassle at times..but there is no such job just planning..unless i reach the highest level haha..ever since i was asked to accompany the kids to the chingay for next year i flinched everytime i need to talk to this person..unfortunately as i sat down for lunch last fri, the person came along..it was pretty obvious that i had nothing to say to her as i indulge in my prawn mee as if it was the most delicious thing on earth though of course it wasn't..n she made me even annoyed when she asked me about camps..

she: 'why are you not involve in mega camp this year'
me: 'cause i have performing arts camp the following week'
she: 'huh..hiyo then am i involve?'
me: 'most probably since you are one of the teachers in charge of a performing arts cca'
she: 'oh no really ar..blah blah blah.....'

see the enthusiasm? it works both ways..you can be in a teacher in charge of a performing arts cca but show no enthusiasm at all when made to do aesthetics thingy..luckily the aesthetics boss is kind enough..but when it comes to other things you are so enthusiastic? i find that in particular for something like aesthetics you must really like it before u can go all out..if you are forced to be in it, i am someone who can tell straight away..

saying all that..i must learn to work with more ppl whether i like it or not and i MUST tell my boss that 1) i wanna quit a particular department 2) i dowan to do chingay..I MUST I MUST I MUST..!
