Our Life, Our Determination, Our Future

Nightmare

2011-03-02T10:39:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time since the last post.

I just had the urge to post again coz I miss reading about the past.
Like I can still remember what happened but I have no idea when it did and what the small details were. So I guess thats why blogging is very important to some.

Anyway, my main purpose for this post is to let out what I feel after the nightmare yesterday.

"As we get more comfortable, the more contented we will get. We will then forget the small things that matter and take for granted others around us. I dont want to be forgotten just like how a flower will wither."

Is it very difficult to please me? NO.

I only wish for the simplest things in life that can keep me happy. And what terrifies me is that I will die, unsatisfied.

Ok. Done. One Emo post.
Feeling much better. Phew!

Dedicated to Dinah

A friend whom Ive known about 5 years.

Cant imagine my life without her.

She is like my other sister. To my parents, she is another daughter.

Strong-willed.

Totally independent.

Always laughing and joking.

Nothing can bring her down.

Yet...life can be cruel.

Sometimes it jolts u back to reality that it is not a bed of roses.

Be strong babe.

Coz we are tested according to our strength.

And I know you can stand strong despite the harshness of it all.

I love you.

P/S: It hurts me to see you hurting too.

We will cheer you up this weekend.

I promise.

happppyyyy=)

Ive been enjoying myself since I knew my life would change when I start school.
Especially during the June holidays.

Spending time with family, playing with Adli all the time.
Had our doa kesyukuran. Alhamdulilah.
Have been chilling endlessly, crapping all the way.
Chilled with the usual suspects and even made new friends- Zaini, Hetty and Hasyim.(Nizam and Noni, too.)
Chilling in Singapore and even J.B.
Movies every weekend for the past few weeks.
YMCA-ing last week.
This Sat will be heading to Batam.

Happening kape!

Random Pics taken.

My Father's Day treat for Ayah and Ibu- High Tea at Carousel.

They had their date while Darlz and I looked after Adli and brought him around Lido.

Bought him his very own aromatherapy pack. Super expensive but is considered an investment.

Chilling at J.B.

Watched soccer while waiting for Zaini's car to be done.

Henderson Waves.

Dinah's first trip there.=)

Before we went J.B.

Double date with Zal and Noor =)

Always look forward to meeting them.

Clueless

2010-06-17T15:51:00.002+08:00

Its hard to continue something that you have stopped quite awhile back. I think it applies to many.
To most who are close, this news is no longer a surprise.
Yup, I am pursuing my Bachelor in Early Childhood Education with Management @ Unisim. (part-time, of course)
I will be starting the course in July.
This degree is a reality due to the teaching award that I received from the HQ(80%) and the rest is supported by my management. (20%)
Otherwise, I doubt this would ever come true esp since the expenses incurred is ridiculously high.

With that, starting from July, my life would probably change.
Most likely, Ill be thrown out from my comfort zone countless times.
The thought of it scares me.
Juggling work, school and life, putting my best foot forward in all that I do.
Especially when Im carrying the faith of so many around me.
Would I be able to perform?

After so many interviews just to obtain acceptance, from the panel of interviewees at the HQ to those at SIM, the path that I took is not easy. But I was never one to admit defeat.
How I wish I had the same stength that I had then. Coz right now, I just truly feel terrified of the 3.5 years that Im putting myself into.

Life isnt smooth-sailing. It never was, never will be.
Only when you are hit by a huge thunderstorm,would you able to appreciate the existence of the sun.

And I pray hard that no matter how bad the thunderstorm might be, the sun will always shine on me again.
******************************************************

Will be looking forward to this weekend and the next.
Will enjoy to the very minute. =)

Toodles

My coursemates

2010-05-21T14:26:00.002+08:00

My course at Julia Gabriel's is coming to an end soon.

Our lessons have been over about 2 weeks and now we are just completing the attachment.

To the lovely ladies

who made me laugh without fail.

who became a part of my life.

who are DRAMAQUEENs!!

Thank you.

I'll definitely miss the time we shared.

Just One

2010-05-18T18:56:00.002+08:00

Felt out of touch after not blogging for quite a while.

It doesnt help that work has been a big hindrance and my home computer went 'ka-puuut'.

Honestly, I do not wish to say about the events that has happened. Just too many to list them down. Every weekend has been chilling sessions or movies for Darlz and I.
***************

My mind went blank. Heart was pumping so fast, I could feel my pulse almost bursting out from inside me. 'It just couldn't be. You really wouldn't do this... How could you...' Fumbling for words, I kept myself calm. I knew if I had an outburst, it will never end. Nothing and no one could control me. Took a sip of drink to calm my nerves. The ice lemon tea tasted bitter. It almost came back out again. I held on to the cupboard for support. Gathering all the strength that is left of me, I walked on. If only you knew how my legs almost caved in. If only you knew how I almost collapsed on the floor...

***************

Tomorrow, about 20 VIPs from Indonesia will be visiting my centre. They will be coming in when I am conducting Music Factory. I really hope all goes well. =) =)

Anxiety sets in

2010-04-28T09:24:00.002+08:00

Nervous
Anxious
Panicky
Edgy
Worried
Jumpy

Butterflies in tummy
Heart beating fast

Thinking about the moderation is enough to make me feel this way.

I cant imagine the real thing later.
It doesnt help presenting to about 50 people.
Most are professionals themselves and have been in this speech and drama line for years.

I feel like puking.

Pls..pls..pls give me the strength!!

Simplicity

2010-04-26T08:46:00.004+08:00

Saturday was spent with Dinah and Darlz. It was lovely.. =)

Had our lunch at Tong Seng and headed down to Marina. We planned to watch a movie but the timing just wasnt right. So that was scrapped!!

We made our way to meet Norman over at Eng wah to pass his phone and took some idiotic pics.

I was grumbling of hunger despite eating about a few hours ago. Seriously, eating like no ones business.

It was simple. Just the 3 of us chilling after that. But nevertheless great.

Aniway,
Today is my 1st moderation. Wish me lucccccccckkkkk!!!

As promised...

2010-04-19T12:37:00.008+08:00

I know its been almost a month since we have been engaged. But as promised, a post about it.

Everything still superbly fresh in mind.

Well, where do I start??

The day before

Day out with Noor to relax my mind and do some last minute shopping and my 1st ever manicure..just buffing,of course. We then met up with Baya and Yan over at CBTL@ Paragon. We chilled while waiting for Zal to fetch Noor and Rye to arrive.

In the end, Baya, Rye and me headed back home to my place. Baya was sleeping over!! Rye was staying till late!!

So aniways, the night passed so fast, I was sure I was disturbing B with my endless rantings and my nervous talk.

The Day

Early in the morning, Dinah, Rye, Cass and Noor came over. I know, the sweetest. They just wanted to make sure I was fine. Theywent over to simei and get my cake. On top of my fave, Frap Caramel@ Starbucks. I know, Im very fortunate to have friends like dat.. The cake was superbly nice. Thanks to Rina Creation!! Quite a sum but its quality is two thumbs up.

Cik Wati came, and she was totally, 110% the best. She took care of my every detail. She even bend down and put on my heels. (Actually, its B's. Its a looongg story. haha) Totally felt like a princess. Thanks to Noor for recommending her, and I can always remember the special treatment she gave me. Forever engraved in my mind.

Abg Joe from Nazz Elmi photography was also tip-top. He was very attentive and detailed. And I knew he made sure every photo was taken to its perfection. Capturing the moment is not easy, but he did it with ease. Abg Nazz editing also helped in many ways and Im definitely one satisfied customer. The album is already out and some of the pics are uploaded to Abg Nazz's multiply.

You may want to view some of the pictures at http://nazfreelanze.multiply.com/ for Hafez & Idah's engagement on 27th March 2010.

So there, done.

Im one happy lady, I kept my promise. =)

Here are the sneakies...

Dah...

2010-04-01T09:30:00.004+08:00

Im officially engaged =)

Tonnes of pictures to come. But will get it from my professional photographer in about 2 weeks time.

Thank you to all who have made our engagement ceremony a success.

Will write a long post about it once Ive the time.
For now, Im braving myself for the interview later @ SIM.

The day is nearing

2010-03-25T17:27:00.003+08:00

Just a short update..

Im gonna rant a little before going to the other topic.

Ive so many reflections to do, a talk of 5 mins to plan, a poem to memorise.
This is all for my Julia Gabriel course.
The poem Ive choosen is Still I Rise by Maya Angelou.
Go check it out. Its very uplifting and I can relate to that totally.
My talk will be ' The Joy and Challenges of working with young children(Speech and Drama).'

Aniways....
the weekend is nearing.

We

are getting engaged.

Close relatives and friends will be by our side.

Hopefully all goes well.

Another Panel

2010-03-18T14:27:00.005+08:00

Yest, I had my 1st round of interview.

There were three interviewers and I was the last interviewee.

~I bet they were dang tired.~

Questions posed were predictable. I guess it wasnt as nervous as last year coz I know that I met the requirements including the 2 yrs work experience.

Nevertheless, I will have to wait for another 2 weeks for the result.After which a 2nd round of interview with another panel of MPs and MOE personnel. sFollowed by a 3rd by the SIM.

Im unsure of the situation that Im in right now.

Ive lots of doubts about myself.

Am I able to meet the scholarship requirement of having 3.5 GPA for every sem?

Can I even handle work and obtaining my degree?

What about my personal life? My health?

Once Im in, its a long haul of 3.5 years, what if Im just not good enough?

I just dont want to be a disappointment to others.

Lots of what if..yet no answers. I guess I can only wait and hope.

After that gruelling day, my family dropped by the grandparents' place for a little chat. We then headed down to Mustafa Centre.

We ended the day with supper at Simpang Bedok around 11pm. At the stroke of midnight, Adli officially turned 2!!!!

Cheeky pictures of him. Eye darting everywhere but the camera.

Gonna have a simple celebration on Sunday instead as Ayah is on afternoon shift today and Ive to work tonight. The Sharing session better not be a bore.=)

Ibu and Adik gonna bring him and Insyirah to Explorer Kids@Downtown later.

Time flies so fast. Its going to be the weekends soon and there goes my March holiday!

Light and Heavy

2010-03-17T11:13:00.014+08:00

Im seriously thinking that Im lost in time.

Even my updates seem to be outdated rather than updated.

I really should totally get a grip on myself.
*********************************************************
So anyway here goes the appreciation dinner at Sakura on Friday.

It was fun and very light-hearted. Everyone was just enjoying stuffing their faces with food. Especially Teacher Peggy. She was basically eating everything and anything. Its a wonder how she can manage to maintain her figure. Hats off to you!!

We had 2 tables. So this is our table. Mainly consisting of 140 staff. =)

Of course, Kak Mas and I.
Somehow, we just never fail to go bonkers over the dessert line.

Sarah and Julie. They were at another table.
Sarah and I still managed to do some catching-up after the dinner. =)

US AGAIN.

We didnt manage to play any bowling as it was super packed. Clever Us only remembered about the food so we didnt pre-booked the lanes. They all ended up going home while Sarah an I had our 30 mins of catch-up.

* * * * * * * * * *

So on Saturday, after my attachment, Darlz and I headed down to the Bike shop. We settled some stuff and headed to Marina Square. We had our late lunch and played our DS while waiting for Ayim and Rye.

THEN we braved the crowd at the IT fair. Super packed.

Rye was stepped on by a kid on her last toe while I had to tackle my own obstacles by those huge bags. Yet, we manage to have fun amidst the chaos.

* * * * * * * * * *

On Sunday, we had our chill-outs at Nyams.

The usual suspects consisting of Yan & Baya, Ahmad & Cass.

On my trip down, I was effing pissed with this MAT who was riding a Gilera. I bet the pillion was his GF. He was tailing me and his actions were sooo "I wanna race with you. Are you up for it?" Im quite used to this kinda actions esp when Darlz is not riding with me. Usually, I let it pass. But I just couldnt with this Mat. Whenever I change lane, he follow suit. When I purposely fall behind, he will slow down till we met again. When I accelerate, he does the same and looks at me when he manages to catch up. He did that all the way from Pasir Ris to Eunos that I was so pissed. I just had to give it to him. Said a little prayer and zoomed all the way to Thomson. I lost sight of him. My objective to shake him off NOT TO RACE was met.

Firstly, what do you gain when you race? There is NO ending line to begin with. Therefore the objective of a race can never be met.

Secondly, riding a bike by itself is already dangerous enough. We do not have anything to protect us other than the clothes on our body, the helmet on our head and the gloves(if any) on our hand. No seatbelts, no airbags, no metal around us(like cars).

Thirdly, we are the smallest vehicle on the road. Instead of showing 'terror' why cant we be a society that helps one another?

Ive had my share of meeting notorious riders.

I had even met a group of bikers surrounding me at the traffic light. They were so close to me, that the pillion even pretended to kick my bike. This was all in the clear view of my sister who I wanted to fetch after I pass that light.

On the other hand, Ive also met others who seem to be my guardian angels. Some who horned at cars who was oblivious to our presence at traffic jams.
1 that I can remember, a man in Red suit riding a Red Ducati on the ECP who gave me a thumbs up before passing me. I was wearing my Red Jacket on my Red Bike too.

And of course, Darlz and his friends who never fails to protect me when Im riding my own.

Theres too many accidents, too many lives lost. Isnt life worth more than a race?

Race with someone you barely know, race with your friend for the fun of it, race with time-when you are late.

Ponder about it. Spread it.

Toodles.

A promise

2010-03-12T08:26:00.002+08:00

Ill be updating the blog frequently from now on.

So stay tune for the constant updates like I used to do.=)

Today, my company will be having an appreciation dinner over at Sakura@Downtown East.
Its for the 1st batch. Mostly the management, senior trs and asst senior trs. So ill be meeting Sarah and Carina. Glee!

After that, some of us have planned for bowling.

Definitely will snap pics!!
Coz Ive found my mmc and theres no reason for me not to snap pics!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a no-brainer that the most exciting event yet for Darlz and I will be on 27th March.

Yes..we are getting engaged.
Its been official since Dec but only now that its nearer, it feels more real.

How time have changed.
How Our relationship Have evolved.
Taking a big step forward.
We only hope and wish for the best.

*Im in cold sweat just thinking about it. I need my girls!!!!*

Unbelievably Long

2010-02-28T12:27:00.002+08:00

It has been super long since the I last updated.

Honestly with work and the course that Im undergoing right now, I truly have no time.

Lotsa have been happening lately.

I turned 22 on 1st Feb. The gang surprised me while I least expect it since I thought it was only Darlz and I. Thank you for the giftsssss....I loike!!!!

Major happening on 15th Feb. Our 2 year anniversary. Darlz will definitely win under the funny category rather than the romantic category. Even so, I am ever so happy.
Though you got to pull up your socks boy. U know I love surprises! =)

Weekends come and go. Soon, March will come knocking....

Arghhh!! Nervous-wreck.

*Its unbelievable how childish this post seems to be. But I dont care.*

Got to go and finish up my lesson plans for Term 2 and my poem review for my course before heading to town with Ibu.

Unbelievable

2010-01-27T15:43:00.003+08:00

I cant believe how thick some people skin are. Goodness!!
Its shocking. Unfortunately, they are clueless about it.
********************************************************************
On another note, today is another course day. Its Trevor's lesson. Im looking forward to it.
Rode my bike to work but ayah told me to leave it at work and he will be fetching me from my lesson. I guess both of us are not over the accident yet. He's denying it. So am I.

Yesterday chilling session at Nyams with Yan and B. Totally missed it coz eversince my course start, Ive no energy to ride down to Clem. Yet, the ride back home was somewhat different. I was second-guessing myself and just wasnt feeling right. I think I still need time to get back my courage.

This weekend is gonna be pack with activities starting Fri.
Its going to be the end of January!!
So many things to do. Arghh...

Bonkers

2010-01-25T15:45:00.003+08:00

On Sat, we celebrated Cass's advanced birthday as well as Noor's belated birthday at our new-found fave restaurant cum cafe, Vintage Delicafe.

After my attachment at about 2, Darlz met me and we hanged around till about 3pm while waiting for B and Rye. We wanted to grab prezzies for Cass and Noor. After getting their gifts from ALDO, we chilled at CBTL @ Forum. The three of us waited for Cass to arrive while Darlz had already brought the gifts home. It was meant as a surprise. So our partners as well as Zal and Noor waited at Vintage while we took our time to bring Cass over.

Lets just say Cass saw Yan at the Restaurant and the suprise was sort of blown over. Yet we backed up with Plan B. Rye asked the rest to hide and when we came, Faris , our waiter which became our friend-he's the son of the restaurant owner, backed us up. Saying that a group of Chinese girls were there lah..yada yada. Freaking funny..Coz I was winking at him non-stop and B was doing the same too so that he could get the hint. Needless to say, we enjoyed the dinner very much and then the usual 5 headed to ECP to pick up Ahmad where we ate Swensen's Ice Cream Cake at 1am. There were only 6 of us. MACAM MANA TAK NAIK BaDAN!!!

On Sun, I was sick. HAha...Anti-climax. My whole family was. Ayah was on MC, Ibu could barely walk. Adli was having a tap for a nose. We were suppose to go to Arab St to buy my cloth. But we didnt. Took Ayah's super good flu meds and pushed myself to work. So today, Ive my course at Forum again. =) And my family will be fetching me...YEAH! So probably supper together again.

P/S: I didnt take any pics for the celebration. All are in Ayim's Cam and Cass's new DSLR!!Congrats babe for getting ur dream gift. Hehe..

HAppy Belated Birthday to Noor!!
Happy Birthday to Cass!!

Eversince we know each other, you seem to be always there. Through thick and thin. We might not have the quantity of a friendship yet but the quality sure makes up for it. =) I love u girls.

Sneakies

2010-01-21T09:29:00.005+08:00

Im currently finding the time to upload pics of Noor's and Zal's engagement on Multiply.

Sorry arh guys..I know Im hopeless...

But not as HOPELESS as AYIM and RYE..taking months!! Up till now, yet to be uploaded CHALET PICS!! Now, that is like beyond hopeless!!

Pardon Me ok..

So Here are the sneakies!!

Ok Seriously, Im so happy for them.

Now, the heat is on. Im feeling the jitters.

So many things to do. So little time. =(

I miss chilling out sessions. And I cant Wait for SaT!!!

My first attachment followed by a promising fun day with the rest.

Hurry time..hurry..

Not Easy

2010-01-20T09:45:00.002+08:00

I totally miss blogging. But I totally have no time for it.

Its not easy juggling work and course.

Im currently pursuing Foundation in Teaching Speech and Drama @ Julia Gabriel.

So after work, on Mon and Wed, Ive to head down to Forum for my classes. On saturday, for attachments.

So tired. Yet Im fortunate to have an understanding father and Boyfriend who picks me up whenever Im not riding.

Have not been riding for 2 weeks or so now due to the minor accident at Onraet Road. Pls don't ask why I was there. Everyone has the moment they know where I had that minor incident.
Even the ambulance driver called back to ask the exact location.

Thankfully, not a single scratch on me or my bike. Just a muscle pull on my thigh as well as some back problems that comes and go.
This is super outdated but thanks to all who helped me there. Darlz who rushed down, my own family, Yan, Baya, Ahmad and Cass. Baya and Ibu who were crying away as I was put on the stretcher and Cass who assured me. Darlz for every single thing and stayed past 3am at TTSH till I was allowed home. Not forgetting the endless sms from the rest. Thank you. Totally felt loved. =)

So many things have been happening and many more to happen. Im totally excited for March. ;)

Will update more soon.
BTW, ADIK!! The blog is not dead. Haha.

Full of Love

2009-12-27T01:43:00.015+08:00

I think Im in love with posting long posts that bares what Ive done for a whole week. Then again, it is tiring to compile everything and post them in one shot especially when you want to remember the details. Ok, nonsensical rants. Yet I think its so true among bloggers. Hmm..

So here goes

On 16th Dec- my family went to town. Adli went gaga over the lights.

So for this week, Ive been totally busy. In a fun way, of course.

Its unbelievable that I met Darlz everyday for the whole entire week except for Saturday. =)

Doesnt it make you wonder, when you love or care for someone, you'll never get sick of him/her. Even if you spend an entire lifetime with them? And fact is, a lifetime can even be not enough.

I returned to work on Mon in the Morn to show Siti what are the remaining stuff to be done for the classroom. Ive done 80% of it myself so its up to her to do some touch-ups.

After that, we had our couple dates!! Darlz, Yan, B didnt go to work. Noor and I were on holiday. Zal worked till 3pm. We all watched AVATAR. Super moving story with great graphics. Definitely worth the money spent. Dinah joined after the movie as she was from work.

On 22nd Dec, Darlz and I had our own date.

He wasnt working. So was I.

We bought some stuff as well as ate at Swensens ION.

Then we headed down to Tan Tock Seng Hosp where Fahmi was admitted. Get Well SOON!!

Pics have been uploaded in our multiply instead. =)

Taken from Darlz's Camera....whhhhatttt.

On 23rd Dec, my family except Ayah went to Downtown East. Walked around, ate at Mcdonalds and Adli had his first 'jumping ride' ever.

Then I headed down to Nyams for some chilling. While Adik and Nizam went for their own chilling session too.

Nizam is my nephew but he's like a brother to me. Sleeps over throughout the holiday. Ayah treat him just like a son. =)

On 24th Dec, Darlz fetched me after he finished his work. We walked around E-hub and ended up at Starbucks at ECP. We were waiting to meet Darlz's family for dinner. We watched Drag Me to Hell using Darlz's Itouch. Then headed down to Swensens at the Airport.

On 25th Dec, Darlz and I went to Far East for lunch at Es Teler. It was raining cats and dogs. Luckily we were reaching when it happened. We were wet but not drenched. Otherwise im sure Darlz will be super irritated.

Met B and Y at Starbucks. Dinah came around 8 while Cass came about 9pm. Chilled till 11pm before Dinah, Darlz and I called it a day. The rest were waiting for Ahmad to knock off work.

On 26th December, we went to Vivo. The three of us waited for Ibu and Ayah to fetch us at around 8pm. They had to attend some relative's wedding first.

Managed to get stuff for Adli and Ibu and played the playground.

Adli being himself, fell. He was running towards Nizam and Adik when he slipped at the area where there were water shooting out from the wall. I couldnt do anything but only to exclaim on horror. Luckily, the strong boy stopped crying within 2 minutes though he fell flat on his back.We are always worried about him as he constantly falls and hit his head. Yet we cant control it. He's just hyperactive beyond words.

After that we went Simpang for our supper. We reached home only at around 1am.

27th December 2009.

Congrats to Noor and Zal on their engagement!!!!

Today deserves a post all by itself coz theres tonnes of pics. Lotsa words to be said. Stay tuned. =p

So there goes my 'holiday'.

A packed and fulfilling week. =)

Tomorrow will be going to work. After days of waking up late, Im pretty much afraid I will not wake up. I have to find the most irritating song to be my alarm.

With that, I end this post with Words of Wisdom.

''The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.'' - Helen Keller.

Think about it. Toodles.

Its been Great!!

2009-12-21T11:49:00.002+08:00

So far...everything is super great.

Work has been a pain in the a**. Knocking off work at 10pm to finish the decoration, and theres no OT in my line of work, mind you.

But Ive been pampering myself eversince my job is done. It has always been that way for me since young.
Pain first, pleasure later.

So on Sat, Darlz and I pimped our bikes at Alvin's workshop.
Spent about 2 hours there then headed to Kallang KFC. My stomach was super grumbling.
Ended the day early as I had to go for Kenduri Arwah Ayah Besar.

Yest, went out with B, Yan and Darlz for some shopping!!!
The goods we bought??
It was shoes and bags for all of us.
B and I went crazy at Charles & Keith. We didnt really cared where the boys went. Haha...
After walking at town for hours, we chilled for post-mortem meet up.
Ended the day at 9.15pm coz we are all looking forward for today!!

Its NO WORK DAY for us!! Wooo hoo...
The four of us and Noor and Zal will be meeting up for some superb fun.
Will update all about it ok.

Tomorrow is Darlz and my 'date'.
Will be going for H1N1 vaccination!! Argh..the thought of it is making me sick. Needles arent things I wanna be connected with.
After which, will be going to the bike shop as I have to pay my freaking insurance and Road tax. $514!!!
There goes my money...
And Darlz wants to pimped his bike further. humph...with lights!
Plans after that will be pending.

Now, I really gtg as Darlz is fetching me.
Toodles!!!

We are back!!!

2009-12-12T02:08:00.009+08:00

Its been such a long time since I last blogged that I totally feel so out of touch from typing.
Lotsa happening lately but I am just unsure where to start. I feel that it is really outdated.

Schools out and I have been attending lots of workshops and courses. I dont even have time to decorate my classroom yet. But Ill definitely post up pictures of my new re-vamped class when Im done.

So here we go....

1st December - Teacher's Day (it was postponed from the original date as there was H1N1)High Tea @ Carousel.

The food was delicious and a wide range of them that will probably never fail to please anyone's tastebuds.

After the high-tea,I headed down to Pasir Ris Beach to meet my Sec School Girlfriends. It was a bridal shower for Syiq and Birthday Surprise for Izzah.

Its been such a long time since I last met them. The night was filled with laughter, jokes, reminiscense and updates of our current life.

*I didnt take much pictures for this day as my batt was going flat.*

2nd December - Learning Journey to the Zoo.

This outing was one of the best that I ever had. In the morning, we were greeted by a small talk by one of the senior staff who told us facts about the Zoo that we were not aware of. Such as who started the zoo, how it all started, how they sustained themselves including the staff development at the zoo and transportation and exchanging of animals.

After that, we had a Zoo-mazing Race whereby we are divided into groups of 10/11. There were 4 groups altogether and we were suppose to go around the zoo in order to complete the tasks. We had to complete the flying fox at the Children's World(which cost the zoo $11million. Wow Rite?), had to feed the hamadrayas baboons( yes, it is not allowed to feed the animals, but we were able to as we were playing the game and it was specifically so as it was their feeding time), drink like a giraffe from a straw( which meant we had to open our legs wide and bend down. Just like a giraffe. 4 of us,including me, had to drink two cups as our team members couldn't do so). Lastly, we had to go to the Tropical Crops to plan a full meal from the fruits and vegetables found there.

After that, we had lunch and then were divided into 2 big groups. One went to the Behind-the-Scene of the Reptile *forgot what word*, while my group went to Behind-the-Scene of the Fragile Forest. We saw lots of butterflies, their life cycles and their special breeding area. We saw tarantulas, stick insects, american cockroaches etc. We learnt so much facts that I was geared up to tell my upcoming K2 children about them. We then had our Boat Ride.

The total amount spent for this outing is $100 per pax. The school basically paid about $4k ++.

3rd December- Girls Nite-out @ Vintage Cafe, 66 Bussorah Street.

Who were there? Baya, Dinah, Rye, Noor, Cass, ME!!

We met up after work and headed down to the restaurant. B searched for a nice eating place and she found it. We were all not disapointed as the food was great, the ambience cosy. Even the toilet was cosy!!Yes, that came from Dinah who rarely used toilets outside home.

It is a family-based business. The waiter was the son and the chef was his mom. Faris, the waiter, was chatty and had superb customer skill. We ended up making friends with him and shaking hands with the mom coz we were the last customers there. Cool kan... all the pics will be found in our multiply.

5th December- Something huge happened which I shall keep under wraps for the time being =) =) =)

***************************************

9th December - My family lost yet another man that we loved.

Ayah Besar, Aqilah's father,who had suffered from Cancer for about 4 years. He was already in his worst condition and breathed his last on that day. We will all missed him greatly. He never fails to light up any event, any room with his loud voice and non-stop jokes.

*Semoga Ayah Besar ditempatkan dengan orang-orang yang beriman. Amin*

********************************************

I shall stop here. I have work to do and will be meeting Darlz later. Missing him badly.

SPORTS DAY!!

2009-11-13T13:17:00.002+08:00

Its been a while since I last update.
Will write something proper soon.

Ive so many things to update about. But for now, I will just update about tomorrow.

Its PCF TAMPINES SPORTS DAY!!!

My class is Event No. 2- Skipping Race.

They are all so excited but Im just so nervous.
ARGHH..

Another 1 week before the children will leave me for Primary 1. Haizz...

Lately...

2009-11-08T12:16:00.003+08:00

A short update as Ive to bathe soon.=)

Thurs, chillout at Clems.

Only the four of us yet it was super fun.

We played Truth or Dare from Darlz's Itouch.

Well..what can I say...we were not in control of the game and we just followed what the screen said.

The dares are not those Ive ever seen/heard before.

I think the most unpredictable dare when to B.

She had to kiss one player on the nose,one on the ear, another on the hand.

So she kissed Yan-nose, me-ear, Darlz- hand.

P/S: sorry guys, ur pic blur sey!!!

Fri was another English Pronounciation Course. This time it was fun.

Ive no complaints. =)

The cuzs were all at the chalet. But I was too tired, I just slept at home.

On Sat went to Youth Park to watch Yan. Then headed down to Taka to buy Aqilah's gift.

We had to end the day at 7.30pm as all my cousins are waiting for me at home.

We planned to 'ditch' Aqilah's birthday chalet. She was already super sad when none of us were there. We also had another plan in mind, which was to draw on our shirts in regards to her birthday. So we all wore the same shirts basically.

Here's us heading to the chalet.=)

It was not a normal birthday chalet. It was Ayah Besar's request to have this for his daughter. He is in his last stages of cancer and is afraid that he will not be able to last till his daughter's 21st birthday.It was super sad when he did a speech before cutting the cake ceremony although his voice can barely be heard and he was struggling for breath.

As of this moment, my cuzs are all still at the chalet. But I made my way home at 7am, in a cab coz I just wanna sleep proper before going out.

Will be going out on a double movie date with B and Yan later..

MeRAntAu WaRrioR!! Here we come!!

Ok, this isnt a short post afterall..haha

And Im so late already.

K..k..toodles

Twice in one day!!

2009-11-05T15:19:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, we had our last excursion.

We went to Giant Hypermarket!!!

The form teachers had to go twice as we were going with our classes at seperate timing.
So I was at Giant from 8.30 to 10.30am and 1.30 to 3.45pm.

I had fun explaining to the kids, bringing them around and just enjoying the time together.

But let me make it clear that its very difficult to handle 15(am)/ 24(pm) children in a supermarket.

Despite having teacher/ parent volunteers.

Aniways, they were supposed to buy things under $2 from Giant.

My morning session mainly bought PushPops... My afternoon mainly KinderJoys.

Others bought stuff like Jagabee/ M&Ms/ Doughnuts/ Crackers.

Kudos to the patient cashiers and understanding people who visited Giant yesterday.

Choosing lettuce for our sandwich

Choosing Mayo- comparing prices and settling for the cheapest. =)

"Yan!! Ni aku ngah introduce Seri Aji kat dorang tau!! Mesti kau rasa bangga. Haha"

Aniways,

Both classes also wanted to make Egg Mayo Sandwich. So we bought the ingredients too.

-Bread, Eggs, Lettuce, Tomatoes and Mayonnaise.

We did it just now. It was fun!!

But something happened.

I accidentally cut my fingers while cutting the tomatoes.

I know, dumb right?? I was distracted when one of the children called me that I totally forgot about my finger being there. And I sliced through it.

Guess what the children said the moment they saw blood coming out??

" Call the ambulance!! Call the ambulance!! Teacher Idah is injured!!''

They only settled down when I have covered it with a plaster.

Then about 5 mins later, I exclaimed ''Oh! " coz one of the children spilled the eggs.

And almost immediately, another ran to me and said ''You cut your finger again is it?''

Haiz...Kids..

I think Im going to cry when they leave me for primary school.

Today, another chill-out. Ive to go through about an hour of work and 1.5hrs of tuition before I break free.

Endure!!

P/S: Ive choosen pics that do not show the children faces clearly. Sorry.

My Sister's Keeper

2009-11-03T11:26:00.001+08:00

This movie is awesome!!

It cleverly entwined the strong fight a mother had in the hopes of her daughter being well again and the act of letting go. On one hand, treatment and surgery in the minds of the mother(Cameron Diaz) on another the daughter's weariness and just hoping to be able to go. Peacefully. They were fighting a losing battle yet mom just didnt acknowledge it. The only one who couldn't.

The plot was superb, the cast compliments one another. Every character was strong in their own way.
The twist of a sister love.
The strength of a brother.
The unbeatable love of a mother.
The hidden sadness and strength of a father.
The sacrifices of a family.

The story squeezed my heart constantly, it made me tear continuously.

Its not just another sappy movie, it hides a deep meaning beneath it.
A meaning that goes beyond words. I can depict it but I cant put it into words.

This is a story in the same league as ''A Walk to Remember'' and ''Just like Heaven''. Perhaps even better that the latter.
A must watch!!

Rating?
Definitely 5/5 for me.

After that, Darlz and I ate at Pastamania. A first for me.
So now, Im left with Popeyes. Never been there.

''Dear, bila nak bwk I gie popeye?! Da bebulan tau u ckp..=( ''

Today will be having the Head of Departments meeting. Bulls!

Monday Blues...GONE!!

2009-11-02T14:35:00.003+08:00

I was so tempted to continue on sleeping. I had no mood for work at all. Head was throbbing..and my eyes could barely opened. I just pushed myself coz I was excited to show my senior principal and the kids the finished product of the storybook.

As the hours go by, my headache disappeared and I was just enjoying myself with the kids.

COZ I KNOW...that Ill be watching movie with Darlz later!!!

Super excited lah!!! My Sister's Keeper.
I wanted to buy the book..but now Im watching the movie..
Maybe I will still grab the book. Still thinking.
Whatever it is, Im so excited that Im smiling from ear to ear. I just cant help it.

Thanks dear, for making me feel this way.
Only you...I love you.

Steamboat!!

2009-11-01T18:08:00.003+08:00

We were looking forward to our Steamboat... and Steamboat it was.

It was raining heavily..and when it turned to a heavy drizzle,we just braved it and rode down to Turf City. We had planned to meet the rest there.By then, Darlz was soaked and my jeans were so wet,it was sticking to my legs.

Anyway though, we were all famished and for the first 15mins, not much was said. We were just enjoying our food. We spent about 3 hours there. Obviously, silly antics happened and we were all laughing so hard.

Yan wanted to put the egg in and cracked it using the side of the table. I think he must have used too much energy that it cracked on the table and most of the egg's inside on the floor. His hands had eggs, his tissue had eggs.Classic!!

Ahmad was startled by the bubbling soup and somehow, a hotdog hit straight into his face. Im not really sure whether the hotdog jumped from inside the bubbling soup or he was holding it and was too surprised that he shot it at his own face. Nevertheless, his face was priceless. It cracked us up so bad that I didnt even bother to know how it happened. Bottomline, Ahmad's face was hit by a hotdog.

We wanted B&J as dessert as we just wanted something cold and soothing. Within 15 mins, Ahmad treated us to dessert. My all-time favourite ice cream potong. So, we decided to save the B&J for another day.

My deserving treat to myself. =)

Oh...oh..oh..

Ive finished my storybook creation with the class. It took me a total of 7 hours.Now, Im so happy one job is down. *Gives a pat on the back*

Perhaps another treat will be to the movies (which will have to wait).

Hmm, what movie should it be.....

Shooo..Negativity!!

2009-10-31T11:20:00.004+08:00

Ive two things to let off my chest. Be cautioned if it bores you..

The SMARTBOARD-Interactive whiteboard is killing me!! Ill tell you more about it in another post.( No promises though)

Ive to come up with a storybook with my YA2 within like 2 weeks using the Smartboard. Its impossible but all I can do now is persevere and motivate my children. So I brought home the centre's laptop to do more editing.

My children and I are all the characters in the book. They came up with it.

The boys are the Ninjas, the girls are the princesses and me, Queen of Good. Cool kan?!

Here's us. See how close we are..They do get on my nerves but most of the time, they make me laugh. Everyday is never the same with my children.

P/S: Sorry..None of my children faces can be shown. My Number One Rule.

On top of that, I used to look forward to my Fridays.. as it is the start of the weekends..

But now, Ive to attend an English Pronounciation Course from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.

-MonD,TuesD etc.. OOOOnest for honest-

So there goes my Friday Night!! The timing is so bad..Its like its not too early or too late. Like you can still make it to anywhere you wanna go, but by then you'll be the last person there and everyone has already met for like an hour or so. And with people like me, whereby curfews exist, in a few hours time, Ive to make my way home. (unless Ayah is on a good mood =) )

So yesterday, I headed home and rest. And I think that will be common occurence for me on Fridays up till the course ends.

Dont mind me if you dont understand.

Through it all, Im lucky, Im in love with my job...

No matter how difficult it might get, or how full my plate can be, this is what I wanna do.

*Give me the strength to go through all that can bring me down*

On a brighter note, today's saturday!!

Im going out with Darlz and the clique...

Its time to unwind. I owe it to myself.

My Man's Birthday!!!

2009-10-29T11:14:00.003+08:00

28th October was MY MAN's birthday!!!

On top of the advance birthday chalet celebration, I just had to meet him on his real birthday.

Thus, after work, both of us had dinner at our all- time favourite restaurant, SWENSENS.

Ate and joked and ate again, we were just enjoying each other company.

It reminded me of how we got together and why we are still going strong.

After that, we walked around, checking out handphones. Darlz is deeply pondering whether to get one.

While Im just going with the flow.

Whether Ill get it or not, Ill just wait and see. Im not a branded kinda girl and if I want to spend so much on gadgets, Ill think thoroughly. Afterall, Ayah was the one who bought me all my hps so far. Yes, inclusive of this HTC. haha...

We did pimp-ed his ITOUCH though. Now, it looks super cool and has anti-scratch screen protector.

I love the red cover....Arghhh....

Speaking of which, my heart did skipped a beat when he say, ''K now, if the ITouch drop, I dun mind.''

That part, I almost wanted to give him my special karate kick.

After a while, we called it a day since Darlz had not fully recovered and Im drained from work.

A simple yet fulfilling day for me.

So now, my man has what he wanted.

UNFORGIVABLE ''Black'' and a pimp-ed Itouch.

The only thing left- New Handphone.

*************************

Shout-out to ALICIA!!!!!

Happy Birthday Girl...

May all your dreams come true.

And what you want is achieved.

I miss working with you lah babe... =(

Its never the same eversince you left.

Chalet

2009-10-27T22:49:00.002+08:00

It comes and go...like the blink of an eye...

Theres so many things that happen, I totally have no idea where to start.

Therefore, Ive decided to make it short and sweet. Afterall, we did take some pics which are up at multiply. ( Most of them though are taken by Ayim's camera. Not sure when we will receive it.)

Thanks to our precious friends who came to celebrate Darlz Advance Birthday Celebration.

It was a memorable 3 days 2 nights. I will never ever forget it. It was a total games galore,laughter paradise and ultimate chill-outs.

Darlz and I appreciate every single thing thats been done. I cant possibly list all of the things out, just highlighting some.Especially;

B&Y who were there despite Yan's aching back.

C&A who were the head of the kitchen and made sure everything runs in order.

R&A with Rye forever taking photos and Ayim executing the sabotaging plan to a success.

N&Z with Zal coming even when he was tired from work and made it a point to sleep for a night.

D&S who came down from town with the marvellous cake. Despite working in the morning, still bunked in at the chalet, leaving the place at 6 am. Babe,I love you.

F&E who came even for a short while. Much appreciated.

F&T who came and even bbq their food.

Now, its back to reality.WORK!!

P/S: Another upcoming chalet on the 6th,7th,8th- Cuzzies birthday.

2009-10-22T15:29:00.002+08:00

Baya's Birthday Celebration!!!

2009-10-19T15:28:00.002+08:00

On the 16th, Darlz fetched me after work. We headed down to Marina to meet Baya and Yan.
(Baya + Yan= Bayan?~~ ada makna tak ekh??haha)

We ate at a freezing KFC. And it was so cold that we gobbled down our food and headed for the outdoors.
Chilled for a while while waiting for Cass to fetch B & Y. Then we all made our way to East Coast Park near Ahmad's working place.He joined after knocking off from work @ 1am. Rye and Ayim joined soon after we reached there. Talking craps, laughing out loud. All being anxious about executing the plan. I was way excited and somehow did the mosr darnest things that night.

At midnight, on the 17th, we sang for B her Birthday song. She was touched, I know!! Haha..
Pics snapped from my camera are uploaded in our multiply.
We ended the night at 1.30 am.
Upon reaching home, smses were sent and I think all went to sleep only about 3am.

We met again at about 5pm and hanged out at town. Ate at Es Teler since I was craving for the Fried Chicken Rice Set. Im so gonna try the Es Mixfruit the next time. So appetising looking at Baya's bowl.

After chilling at town for while, we decided to hang out at Nyams. A better place where we all felt comfortable in. Cass joined later. Cass!! If only we could get the Mazda. We can sell...then our dreams will come true..haha.
We played Er Ling Wu. Till tears rolled our eyes and Baya and I choked on our own saliva. On top of that,
the chilling session was fruitful as we came up with a fabulous game for the chalet!! CAnt wait..cant wait..

I felt so bad not being able to make it for Dinah's celebration at O bar. Thanks for understanding babe..
Dinah, Happy Birthday k... Aku sayang kau.. U better come for the chalet. Kalau tak aku chop Kau!!!
Ill be waiting for you ok..

****************************************************
What Im going to say has no intention to hurt any party..be it those who read our blog or have only heard of it.

I write in this space of ours, usually to let out my emotions, to typed what Ive done- so that I can read it again in memory and mostly, not to lose touch with my sense of writing and an avenue to use 'adults' english.

Working with two extreme age groups, one being children and the other my colleagues some,older than my own mother can be draining. This is one of the ways I can be myself. Besides hanging out with my peers.
Words Ive used in this blog may not be directed to anyone or everyone in particular. And I have the right to keep them anonymous. I don't believe in embarassing others. Recently, it is all to my colleagues or working environment.

My professionalism has to be kept as I am a teacher after all and Yes... I do have problems at work. I also have an outside life that may not be a bed of roses. I learnt to reprimand an action, not the person.
Please check with me if theres any unhappiness before jumping to any conclusions. As much as I respect those who read, please respect our space too.

Darlz and I have decided to not dwell on this any further. We are happy with what we have. And hopefully, those who are upset will find your own happiness too. =)

Last but not least, I don't provide sweeping statements. I usually have my facts ready before saying anything. I am responsible for my words but that doesnt mean that it can be questioned by the snap of the finger. For all that has been said, the words may not even be for you. =)

Im sorry if my words above are harsh. I don't mean to be. I just hope that my message is gotten across.
Thank you for taking time reading it.
Peace out.

2009-10-14T10:17:00.005+08:00

As usual, chilling @ nyams..

Yan & Baya, Darlz & Me.

Cass & Ahmad was not able to make it as they had to work.

So its more like a double 'chilling' date.

The guys were showing a dumb move that was done in a japanese show. Hard Gay, rite dear??

When Baya and I went to the toilet at Caltex, we tried imitating the move. It was so dumb that we laughed so hard. And honestly, cant be bothered if anyone saw us doing it. Oh wait...there was a lady, who was feeding the stray cats when we were doing it.

I don't understand guys who take pictures with props...hahaha=p

Yan and My Broken Mirror

*B look so fierce in this pic...its scary!!*

Darlz and My Shaking Frog

Note to self: Get the Garnier eye-whitening roll on when pay comes in. MUST BUY!!

Today will be having the tuition class. Tired but must persevere!! BIg money..Big Money!!

After that, Darlz will be fetching me. Yeah!!!

Dettols for everyone

2009-10-13T13:22:00.002+08:00

Working has been quite a chore lately.

The HFMD has hit my centre and the teachers are cleaning like crazy.

Another 'season' of dettols, sanitizers, and sprays.

I reached work at 7.30am and immediately started wiping the tables and all the surfaces in the classroom with a towel drenched in dettol. My hands felt like 90 years old after that. So rough and dry.

The physical check on the children were heightened. Checks on hand and in the mouth. Temperature taking.
It can be quite draining.

In between classes will be more dettols and sprays.

Well, just have to do it. As long as my children are fine, Ill be more than happy to do it for them.
Can't take the chance like how the stomach flu virus hit my class. With more than 6 of them down with it; vomitting and such.

Today will be riding down to Clementi for a chill-out session with the clique. Will be heading down after Darlz knock off from work. Will be on seperate bikes. The heavy traffic will get on the nerves. If only I can hook my bike to Darlz's...........

I need laughter and jokes after such a gloomy day.

P/S: The key has been found. I can almost swear I didnt put it there. But heck, as long as its found, fine. Just put it on me.

PLaIn Gore

2009-10-12T10:16:00.003+08:00

We watched ...

DARAH

on Saturday.

It was full of gore, blood, chopped human limbs, blood, chopped heads, human insides. And BLood and more blood. I seriously don't know how much they spend on the fake blood but looking at it, it seemed like they have an endless supply of it. The story kept us on the edge of our seats throughout and was full of suspense. The storyline was logical yet sickeningly twisted. The stars on the show was sooo goood.. That I totally felt like they were right in front of me.

It was one of the best movies Ive ever seen.

Definitely not for those faint- hearted.

4.5/ 5 stars.--- A must watch!!!

After that show, we went to Clementi to fetch Yan and Baya and had a chill-out at West Coast Park.

A great wind down for the mind-boggling movie.

We ended the day at 11pm.

Today, even before I officially start work, a problem has already cropped up. My classroom key is missing. And Im pissed!!

Wrong Girl

2009-10-08T15:24:00.003+08:00

In friendship

I believe in quality.

I may have my weaknesses but Ill never go back against my words.

And those who know me, will know how steadfast and strong-headed I can be.

I guess, you've messed with the wrong girl.

The case has taken a step further. Now, Im waiting for an update.

At the very least, apologize.

It'll be much appreciated.

In my Hands

2009-10-07T18:05:00.002+08:00

I have decided to take matters into my own hands.

Where dignity is concerned, no one have the right to bring another down.

Ive waited for a week since it happened but there is still no updates till today.

Thus the decision.

We shall wait and see how it goes...

*******************

Im off to meet darlz and half-a-clique.

A good midweek relaxer. =)

Toodles.

Amazing Race Sunday Edition

2009-10-05T14:23:00.007+08:00

On Sunday, we had an Amazing Race- IdaHafez style.

We started the day at 1.30pm and headed down to Kak Mas place @ Punggol.

Food was nice and super loved her cosy home. The deco on the wall was a bonus for the eyes!!!

Darlz was secretly rubbing his feet on the 'carpet ' of the dining area, saying how smooth it feels.

Fortunately for us, just as we finished eating, Kak Mas family came.
Without further ado, we pun CABUT!!!(Runs off/make our move)--what do ya expect from a shy couple kan..=)

We then headed to Clementi for Boy's bro wedding.

We were still full from the food and we wanted to save our stomach for later, thus just took the desserts.
OMG!!! Super fantabulous the eclairs.. *thinking bout it makes my mouth water*

P/S: Boy!!!! Ada belen!!!??

We then had to rush off to Tampines to attend a family gathering for a short while before rushing off to Marina Square.

In celebration of AYIM's 24th Birthday!!!! @ Breeks.

Initially Rye had reserved 8/9 seats but due to unforeseen circumstances, it dwindled to 4 of us.

It didnt stop us from having fun and making a fool out of Ayim...=)

(Noor, be strong ok. Salam Takziah.

Yan, Was so shocked to hear about your kitchen that I thought you were just trying to pull our legs. So sorry to hear that. Hope everything is fine now. )

More Pics are uploaded at Multiply so need I say more? haha...

Concert

2009-10-05T14:15:00.004+08:00

Ill keep this post short and simple.

The concert went so well...Its indescribable..

I still cant find the exact words to express my emotions throughout the whole event.Will try though.hehe

During the MCing part,was so nervous at first that me and Sarah was fidgeting away. It got more comfortable with time and in the end, we were just enjoying ourselves.

I was a mixture of happiness and sadness during the certificate presentation as I led my two classes on stage for them to take their cert from Mr Masagos. Totally felt like a Mum with 45 kids. haha..

The concert went so well and I was so proud of my YA2 and YA5. All our training, hard work and team work was paid off. I was beaming all the way.
I totally wish I could post up the pics but its against my principles..so friends,dun worry, Ill show you the printed pics. =)=)

Of course, Sarah and I became the ballerina jumping out of the 'musical box' for the concert.
And here we are- a ballerina with a low budget to dress ourselves.

At the end of the show,

Something utterly bad happened. It affected me so much that my emotions were uncontrollable.

It is so bad to an extend that I am still thinking about it now.

After pondering for days,Ive decided against writing about it mainly coz I feel its enough that my loved ones all knew about it and are supporting me all the way.

Special mention to my Senior Principal who let me cry on her shoulders, Kak Mas for controlling me, Sarah who stood up for me, Carina who made me laugh, all the colleagues who supported.

Darlz, forever, being my saviour. The clique who listens and understands.

Most importantly, my family. My pillars of strength and my dad, the leader of my direction.

He who is always there. Rooting for me always. Thanks ayah. I can never ask for more.

Sidetrack:

1) I bought the dvd for the concert!! YEAH!! Nak tgok???

2) Concert down...Sports Day coming up next...

I miss you, my man.

Blue Da Bee Da Bee Dah

2009-09-24T11:17:00.002+08:00

I know this post is soooo outdated..

But cant help it..Very tied up with work..

First Day was spent at Nenek house. We were clad in blue.

Second Day we went to Malaysia to visit my maternal grandparents.
They are bedridden. It was totally heartbreaking to see them that way.

Days have been long and dreary. Work is a headache.

Viva Family Day at Tampinest West C.C is up on Saturday,26th Sept.

Graduation Concert at Singapore Conference Hall on Wednesday, 30 Sept.

This is pure madness..

Darlz, yesterday was a challenge. Thanks for holding on.

You know I love you.

On another note,

Im looking for ideas of gifts to give out to my students on Children's Day.

I have 50 of them.

I do not really want the usual pencils set. Stickers are out too..

Pls drop me a tag if you are able to help. Thank you muchie much.

M. M. C.

2009-09-15T12:23:00.008+08:00

In this post,

M.M.C. does not stand for MultiMedia Card..

BUT

Missing Muse CD

The aim to break fast at town was to get Muse CD.

The two hard-core fans were so excited and have been talking and looking forward to it since I don't know when.

Warner Music said on website that it will be out on the 14th but UNFORTUNATELY, it wasnt!!

After knowing the info at HMV, they went to Gramophone at Taka.

- Latest Update: The CD is still not out yet!!-

Imagine the heartbreak of these two hard-core Muse fans.

Just look at their faces.

And of Coz...we laughed at them.=)

"in your face!!"

So with a heavy heart, they sat down feeling defeated.

We chilled at Taka Garden.

And they introduced me to Muse. What a difficult mission with a music-loser like me.

But..but.. I must admit, its great! I love the music but Im still getting used to the singer's voice.

Totally forgot his name lah...Cant fault me. Im bad at names=) (Its Matt something something right?)

Aniways, Work has been a total pressure and I feel like crumbling..

Will be baking choc chip cookies as soon as I reach home. Yummy Yum!

No Reservations

2009-09-13T20:08:00.004+08:00

The dinner wasnt bad at all. The family never fails to make me comfortable. The food was fantastic : the spread was huge and I seriously didnt know which to choose. But out of all, I totally, absolutely love the desserts. I ate like 10 tarts and a huge portion of the mango pudding. The hotel also gave 2 slices of cakes for the twins and it was super chocolatey. YUMZZ..
Well, I am a dessert person.=)=)

Happy Birthday to Ayie & Ayum. Hope you like the gift.
Thanks to the family for inviting and including me in your special break fast together.

--The rest of the pics can be found in our multiply--

After the dinner, we rode down to ECP to mit up with Yan, Baya & Cass. Of coz I helped them by eating the barbecued chicken. =) Stuff my face again!! Fai & Edjah joined and we headed down to Ahmad's workplace. Chilled through the night and made a move only at 1.45 am.

Darlz, you support me without question. Protect me in any circumstances.

To you, Ive given all I can. With you, I hope it ends.

Thank you for being strong and guiding me through.

I Love You.

Will be working tomorrow. After 1 week of being at home.

*Switching mode*

But after work will be something Im looking forward to.

Unplanned Hang-Out

2009-09-12T11:53:00.002+08:00

Yest after breaking fast, Adik left and we headed down to Toa Payoh for a last-minute plan of hanging out. We sure had a good laugh over unimportant stuff. A night to unwind.

Darlz sent me home about 11plus as he had to work the day after and was apologetic that he couldnt accompany me till my family reached.

Well, thank god he didnt!! Coz they only reached at about 3 am!!

I was filling the time with STYLE NETWORK; watching Kimora to Style Her Famous and Dr. 90210.
Seriously, Dr. 90210 yest was an episode I couldnt forget.
Usually. the clients are there mainly for cosmetic purposes. Eg Enlargements, tummy tucks, lipo..yada yada yada.

But this time, my heart goes out to the man who have a hidden p*nis.
( Please be open-minded coz its truly a medical problem and I dont mean to be disrespectful)
He was already 49 years old and married to a loving lady. On top of that condition, he also had one leg shorter than the other causing him to wear platform boots in order to balance himself. In order words, he was a virgin.- The cause of the condition was due to his past-
He was very happy to be able to go through the operation after much tests with the Dr. Unfortunately for him, when he was given anaesthetic, his airway collapsed. They couldnt breathe for him and he couldnt suck in the oxygen unconciously. He was not breathing at all.
They immediately revived him and the operation couldnt be carried out.
When he awoke, he thought it was done but after being explained, he cried silent tears.
Apologized to his wife.
They could only carry out the operation at the hospital as they are more equipped.
Both husband and wife cried and held each other.

Now tell me, isnt your heart breaking too?

OOpssie... Gtg..

Get ready for Darlz to pick me up.

Breaking fast with the family
Chilling out session with the friends after that.

Yeah!!

A Clean Room

2009-09-11T17:09:00.002+08:00

It took me 4 hours to clean up my always-in-a-mess room.

Threw away 4 huge trashbags full of my things, took down the curtains and the bedsheets.

Sidetrack=
When I wanted to take down the curtains, I had to climb up on a chair and a higher wardrobe.
Clever me...fell ok!!
My bottom hitting the top back of the chair. Super painful. Similar to having a wooden pole whacked on my bottom. Teared a little. But only myself to be blame. humphhh..
Now,I can only sit one-sided.
Really hope the pain will go away fast.

Folded and hung my never-ending line of clothes. Now I have two wardrobes. =)
But yet, I always wear the same clothes.
What can I say, Im the jeans and shirt kinda girl.
*Note to self- should dress-up more often ;)*

Aniway today will be breaking fast with Adik and Darlz.

Ayah and the rest has left for JB.

Tomorrow will be breaking fast with Darlz family, celebrating the twin's birthday.
Excited but nervous. :s

So many things to look forward to.
Life is great.

When you feel you are at your lowest, look up. Coz thats the only direction that you can go.
Take your time to stand on your feet, but dont give up walking just because you have fallen bad.

First few days of holiday =)

2009-09-09T11:58:00.008+08:00

Be warned that this is gonna be such a long post.

Holidays are blissful days where you can catch up on your sleep. And your work. If you have the heart to I guess.

So far, mine has been great..spending it with the loved ones =)

On Friday Darlz, Dinah and Me had our mini-iftar at Es Teler@ Far East. Its been such a long time since we ate there and we were enjoying every spoonful.

After that Naq came down and we all chilled at Starbucks. We all missed our weekly dosage. Darlz and Naq with their Choc Cream Chip, Dinah with her Vanilla Latte and me with my Good Ol' Frap Caramel.

Soon after Shahril joined but Darlz and me had to leave early before Norman got to join us.

On Saturday, la familia drove down to Angsana. We walked every inch of that place, explored every shop and spent a whopping 5 hours there. YES!! Solely Angsana..Gosh.

So aniways, we reached there about 2pm and within that time, we managed to get Adli's and Ayah's baju kurung, A big vase and all kinds of kuih raya. We bought food at the bazaar and settled down somewhere in the shopping centre to break our fast. We had decided to eat at Singgah Selalu for a proper meal since Adik and Me so badly wanted the seafood and Ayah cant tolerate the dirt on his car. We made our way there about 8 pm.

We had our food while our car was being scrubbed clean.

Ayah was beaming away when he saw his shiny car.

Reached home close to 12pm.

A day well spent with the family.=)

On Monday

I had to attend a curriculum review. Now we have subject heads to Language and Numeracy.

And Im under Numeracy. Just like those Head of Departments in Primary and Secondary school. Haiz..

Work just seem to be getting endless..

On Tuesday

Sarah and Me went out to source for our 'ballerina' skirt for the Concert. We were eyeing on particular shop-the skirts were on sale at 2 for $15!!- but we wanted to source out for the 'can can' to go underneath the skirt to make it stand.

We walked non-stop from Bugis to Bras Basah to Golden Landmark to Arab St-Aliwal St.

Our efforts were futile so we went back to Bugis Village to grab the skirts.. Great Deals just cant wait.

And of course, we side-tracked and bought a bag each. haha....

Aniwaes, Sarah was such a sweetheart. Though we were walking in the hot sun, she insisted on not buying any drinks. I knew she was thirsty. Yet she still said she was ok and just wanted to sit down. Both our energy level was running at an all time low. We break our fast at Burger King coz she wanted a huge coke. And fast food restaurants served the fastest and coldest cokes. I tink when she said this, the sun was getting into her head. Thus she fasted from 2pm till 7.08pm.

Ended the day about 9pm and I bet we lost 1 or 2 kg due to all those walking.

Phew..there goes my four days of holiday...

Today will be spending time at home to bake kuih raya...

Thinking of it already make my back ache but without baking home made kuih..its like going out without bringing your wallet.Possible but not right.

And who can deny that the smell of baking from the oven is one of those unforgettable pleasant smells ever. =)

You are my laughing pill

2009-09-04T16:24:00.003+08:00

Work has been a headache.

So many consent forms to tabulate, many more money to calculate.

But heck, today is the last day of the school term.

One week of holiday!! YEAHHH...!!!

I know you are ALL JEaLous...kan...

Well, dont be...I still got to do my work.

And term 4 is the worst term of all....Viva Family Day, Concert, Portfolios, Sports Day and Meet the Parents.

And monday I have curriculum meeting.=(

Now I can catch up on cleaning up my room and bake kuih raya.

*I will..I will..*

Later will break fast just the three of us. Shahril will join later in the night.

Will be heading down to town with Darlz to meet Dinah.

Cant wait lahhhh... Its been so long...

Oh yeah, and here's the pics of the junk construction.

Solely their work. I just gave them masking tape.

So proud of it...

YA2 masterpieces..-alligator, giraffe and deer

YA5 masterpieces- giraffe, alligator,zebra and deer

P/S: I love you. No one can beat the way you treat me. You are my all.

Happy Birthday Rye!!!

2009-09-03T12:19:00.004+08:00

The meet-up session served a purpose yesterday.

It was to celebrate Rye's birthday!!! - mini celebration-

We totally caught her by surprise.

Ate cake, laughed, planned the night away.

We were all so tired and made a move about 11.15pm.

Happy Advanced Birthday to Rahmat too...=) =)

Ill be heading down to Woodlands with Adik and Adli soon after I knock off from work.

We will be breaking fast at Mak Busu's place. It will only be the three of us as Ibu will go there much earlier to help in the preparation.

We are going PUBLIC!!!

How weird is that...

I should really get a car license. FAST!! Haiz..But no spare time..Double Haiz..

I truly dont know how Adli will react throughout the whole journey.

Without Ibu, we will surely die.

A slow and painful death.

Wish us luck.

Toodles.

The Gifts

2009-09-02T12:42:00.006+08:00

The gifts from the children. Totally totally loved them.

And Im overjoyed to receive the compliment letter from L***'s Mum.

Shown the senior Principal and she wanted a copy=) Cloud Nine Ok...

When I received them, I felt touched, I just had to remind them that..

"The best present that you can ever give me is to pay attention in class, do what is required of you. When you need to do work, you do your work. When you need to be quiet, you keep quiet."

All of them nodded their head and said 'Ok'.

2 minutes later, they became noisy again.

So much for the 'touching moment'.

KIDS. humphhh...

Today, we did junk construction for my morning class..

(My afternoon class didnt bring much materials thus have to be done another day)

It was one class full of negotiations, problem-solving and noise.

The kids are supposed to construct alligator, giraffe and deer.

Of coz its still the initial stage.

Dont worry, Ill post up the finished product. =)

Meet- Up Session coming right away!!!Yessarrrr...

Toodles..

Happy Teacher's Day!!!!

2009-09-01T14:35:00.002+08:00

Im sure everyone had their ambitions.

As we grow older, things happen along the way and we might not get what we want.

Since young,one of my ambition was to be a teacher. Along side being a lawyer, a police officer and countless professions.
The rest come and go but I knew,teaching is what I want to do.

I am happy where I am now. In the field that I want.

Many asked me, why am I not teaching primary schools- its better pay,better prospects.
Why waste learning higher malay and good grades in language just to teach pre-schoolers?

Well, answer is, I could have if I wanted. But I dont want to regret not ever working with the younger children.

They are the seeds of the nation. I want to be their FIRST inspiration. I want to CONSTRUCT the mould. I want to BUILD the foundation. Just like how my kindergarten teacher had.

Maybe my career will change.For now,Im still standing rooted to the ground.

To all teachers out there...

One day is not enough to appreciate what you've done all this while. Yet,u've never asked for anything more. Thank you for inspiring all the lives, making a mark in one way or another.
Thank you.

Kudos to all teachers. =)

P/S: Thank you for all the gifts and presents you have given. Ill post it up soon for memories sake.

Fun..Fun..Fun

2009-08-31T10:15:00.004+08:00

Weekend was a whirlwind for me...

Watched Final Destination 4 with Yan n Baya, Zal n Noor.

There were screams and it was gruesome.

Yet, somehow, it let all of us down. It was too predictable, it lacked the feelings that F.D. 1 and 2 stirred. We were all expecting more. We were disappointed badly. Maybe they should not have a F.D. 5. I don't know. Just too let-down by the story I guess. Of course, the main actors and actresses did their best and they were good. Too bad it cant save the plot.

If you dun mind, cheap thrills for that amount of money, go and watch. Otherwise, just wait for the movie to be screened on television.

2.5 / 5 stars. =(

On Sunday, it was the Cuzzin's Outing Day.

Break fast at MacDonalds at Tampines.

Made our way down to Geylang. They decided to karaoke at Grandlink instead.

Thus we spent 2 hours singing our hearts out and dancing our way through.

Super crazy. Which is sooooooo expected from the Kumpulan Gagak Hitam- the name our parents gave us all.

Since young, if you hurt one, you hurt us all..

Countless occasions of us protecting one another, saving each other backs, being there always. Thus the name.

Don't be shocked to see the video that Ill upload at the Multiply. =)

Please bear in mind, it was all in the name of fun and grabbing purposes for the cuzzies. =)

Im so excited for the trip down to Geylang later with da peeps.....

Darlz will be picking me up once he finished work.

Stay tune to my Teacher's Day entry tomorrow.=)=)

Yesterday

2009-08-27T11:22:00.003+08:00

"Yesterday....all my troubles seemed so far away....."

We just couldnt stand missing each other so badly. Thus, I rode down to Clementi after Buka. Well, its a mutual agreement that distance wasnt a factor. Since Darlz will be sending me back home on Fri n Sat, I decided to rode there yesterday. Aniways, once I was on PIE en route, flashes of lightning can be seen all the way from Tampines down to Clementi. I was hoping and praying for it to rain only after I reached. I was shaking on my bike everytime there was lightning or the roars of thunder was heard. Terperanjat ok..

Alas, weather was on my side only halfway. At exactly the exit of Clementi Ave 6, it was drizzling. I stopped and put on my raincoat. Was thinking to myself how wet will be I till I reached so decided against wearing the pants. BIG MISTAKE. To cut it short.. When I reached Darlz place, I looked like I had bladder problems and pee-ed in my pants for about 10 times. soaking wet OK!!

The plan to West Coast Mccafe for some double choc flew out the window. We settled for Caramel Starbucks Coffee in a glass bottle from 7-11 and drank under the void deck.

Totally talked all the way from 8.15 till 11. Non-stop ok. One topic lead to another. Laughing and joking yet serious issues were also discussed. It was all worth it.

The itchy legs due to the wet pants, my wrinkled feet due to my wet Crocs, hair plastered on my head and my underpants that stuck to my bottom like no-ones business.

The time spent was worth the wet and cold ride down.

NOw...now.. I cant WAIT for Fri and Sat. Wweeeeee!!!

=) =) =)

F.D. 4!!! Here we comeee...

tooodlless..

Our Web

2009-08-25T13:24:00.003+08:00

I am happy. I truly am.

Yet, in our web called LOVE.

Ive never been good at phrasing my words especially when emotions get the better of me.

Sometimes, I do wanna tell you everything. --How I feel, What I want, Why Im sad.

Yet again, im scared that you will judge me. Worse, u'll brush me off.
Although you've never done it before.

On top of that, you always have a say that makes me feel like a fool. Your words, when out, are true. And me? Just thinking with my emotions.

You are my life. And that makes me scared. Coz what will happen if you are no longer there?
We are too deep into this, we cant possibly live without the other.

You are the best that I ever had.

You got to understand that before, we came from two different world. Whereby mine doesnt believe in true love for another man.

I am trying my best. But is my best good enough??

I guess...all girls feel this way?- or am I an exception?

***********************************************

Ibu, Happy 44th Birthday!!

Semoga dipanjangkan umur, dimurahkan rezeki dan kebahgiaan yang tidak terkira. Amin.

XOXO

2009-08-24T10:37:00.006+08:00

A short Post due to the amount of work that needed marking.

This was taken the day before I fell sick and was on MC for three days. Kwakaka...

Throughout the whole chilling session, was sneezing away and probably did passed a lil bit of germs to the rest. Baya started developing a red nose and was sneezing. Luckily, she was fine. =)

I stayed home for two days after and then, met the rest for Swensens @ Holland Village on Friday. A treat for myself... Enjoyed myself tremendously after being cooped at home.

And Now, Im back at work. =) Missed the kids so badly. Plenty of work to do.

Ouh yeah..btw..

To all Muslim brothers and sisters...

Selamat Menjalani Ibadah Puasa =)

P/S:Ibu's birthday is tomorrow. Have not come up with a plan yet. Shucks...

Toodles..

Sick..

2009-08-20T12:37:00.002+08:00

My immune failed me!!!

Now, Im sick like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered. Eat Sleep, eat sleep.

3 days MC up till Friday.

What a 'great' time to be sick. When the concert rehearsal is on Saturday.
All I could think of are my kids, what they are gonna do, how are they gonna practice..
My mind is literally at work. Haiz...

Darlz is super sweet to understand my mood swings. =)=)

Toodles..

Life

2009-08-18T11:30:00.004+08:00

Life's not easy.

I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. In fact, I could still remember the hardships my parents had to go through when I was younger. Being in and out of hospital twice a month, having fortnightly check-ups up till the age of 10 puts a toll on them. We never once bought our own furniture. All were passed down by relatives. Holidays?? I never knew that people fly on planes to other countries during holidays.

Yet, Ayah and Ibu never once did complain. Never once sighed.
Even when Ayah have to go hungry during work or coming home during lunch hour so that he can save expenditure not by eating out. Goodness, even Macdonalds was a luxury then.

I could still remember, my first burger and fries was at Burger King..at the age of 9.

My first bike was at 10. Bought by auntie when I managed to get into EM1.

My first electronic was a pager at age of 13. After passing PSLE with all A and A*. Bought by my uncle.

I was never given anything unless I earn it- through my studies,of course.

With my parents' perseverance and guidance, we have become an unbreakable family. Come what may, whatever problems that is put on us, we know we will get through it. Believe me, problems come by the tonnes.

Look where we are now. Ayah can afford most of the things in life. Managed to upgrade and renovate fully our house, bought our own furniture, holidays out of the country, our own car. He was our pillar, he had a vision and never wavered from it. He is my hero.

Please don't get me wrong. Im not to boast what I have in life. But only acts as a reminder, that not all were lucky.

A dialogue once hit me hard-
If you think you don't have slippers, there are others who dont have legs.

It says that fate is written.
Yet Destiny lies in our hands.

Don't lie down and accept it as it is. Stand up and do something as long as it can be done.

Don't be sad and mourn for what is not there if you are just shaking legs.

So now...

Shut Up and Smile.

Side-track

1) Am currently under 6 mths probation( of coz am still at my current workplace. Bonded!! But my job scope has widen). Waiting with bated breath for my salary harmonisation and March '10 when I complete my probation. Higher rank= More responsibilities. Damn!!

2) Chill- outs today... Need a breather badly. Counting down the minutes to meeting the peeps..

3) Kak Mas!! Get Well soon. I miss you.

So many things..

2009-08-15T11:42:00.002+08:00

Been missing in action and so many things have been happening.
Hmm...Lets start from the Picnic.

The PICNIC was superb lah kan.. we ate and stuffed our faces.
Den played CLUEDO. Which Ahmad totally didnt even bother to learn. Haha...
Laughed and laughed right through the night. Even Played Heart Attack and a never-ending 'Would you rather..' Fahmy did came down around 8pm...and so did Fai and Edjah..but only about 10plus. Packed up and left the area about 11.30pm. Enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
Do this again ok??
*Didnt take any pics on that day from my cam as silly me didnt bring the memory card. All pics are with Darlz and seriously I dont know when he will update our Multiply. Hehe.*

Then on Mon was a date to the movies with Darlz. We watched The Hangover.
Cool story with witty lines that crack you up. At times, the whole theater was roaring with laughter. It was worth it.

On another note, Kak Mas just went through an op. Im truly praying for the best.
She's like a sister to me, an inspiration at work and a role model in life.
Please protect her...Amin.

Workwise, Mrs Tan. my administrator, will be leaving for a better post at PCF HQ. A deputy of something-something. Not really sure. Mrs Kwan is promoted to Senior Principal and KAK MAS is promoted to Vice-Principal. WOOOHOOO!!!.. We all got this news the day before her op. So it was kinda bitter-sweet. Kak Mas will be resuming the post as of 1st Sept.
Congratulations to the 3 of them. =) =) =)

As for me, Mrs Tan wants to meet me in the office on Mon. I wonder what will that be about.
Baya, dun worie Ill message you as soon as I noe.
*Waiting with bated breath*

Will be spending time with Darlz before the fasting month start. Something that Im so looking forward to. Just waiting for my knight to fetch me on his black horse.

Have a great weekend everyone. Toodles.

Pre- National Day

2009-08-09T12:54:00.004+08:00

Attended a National Day Dinner at Springfield Sec as required by work.

Enjoyed myself especially the camwhoring and the magic tricks shown by a particular 'magician'.

Ayah fetched me soon after and we headed down to Abg Iwan's new place.

On Saturday, attended Noor's Sis wedding with Yan & Baya. Chilled for awhile after that at Baya's void deck before heading to Abg Arm's place for the gathering.

The Most Matching Couple of the Year Award goes to......

Today, will be heading to ECP for a PICNIC-pot-luck style.

People attending? Yan&Baya, Ahmad&Cass, Zal&Noor, Darlz&Me. Unsure whether Fahmy will be joining.

Cant wait for the Sun, Fun and Laughter!!

Ok thats all folks.. Gtg pack the fried bee hoon and dressed up.

Our Week

2009-08-06T11:06:00.002+08:00

Both of us have been drained out badly for this week.

Darlz is busy with his course that the army sent him for. Driving those humongous trailers ekh? Haha..hopeless me. Dunno what. 4S course or something. So he is pretty stressed about it esp the parking. He totally went bonkers during the chill-out session that day. Too stressed up I think. HAha

Meanwhile, Im busy with the class. My morning class had only 10 chd on Mon and some parents are going berserk. Go lah..complain to the MOE or HQ. Ive done my best, we already fumigate the whole class. The rest of them are perfectly fine. What do you expect me to do? But its all better now, as the number of children are slowly increasing.
On top of that, we have to decorate the class and prepare ourselves with the National Day party, tomorrow. Im singing no less than 20 National Anthems for this whole week and prbably reciting more than 30 pledges. Whats with the Count on Me and Stand Up and Chan Mali Chan, Im being more patriotic as each day passes.

Thus, we cant wait for our weekends and upcoming week =)

Fri- work till 1pm-YEAH!
- attend NAtional Day Dinner @ 6.30pm-boo hoo

Sat- attend Noor's sis wedding with the gang.
- kenduri(prayer gathering) @ Abg Arm's house.

P/S: Ayah, im confused with your reactions towards the big news.

Farewell Babies..

2009-07-30T11:33:00.007+08:00

Goodbye babies. I'll definitely miss the 2 of you. Both of you have been good to me. Thanks for the loyal service. Both of you are just an object, but still dear to me eventhough I seldom cleans you :> . Be good to your next owner ok. See you guys on the road or at the bike shop, if ya'll still around. Goodbye...

YA2
L*** vomitted twice at about 11pm yesterday and I had to put him in a corner away from his friends.

T****'s father called at about 6pm saying that he vomitted and is having a fever.

Ch***** is having a fever. So far, no vomitting. Hope it stays that way.

B**** vomitted at about 4am and did not turn up for school.

F****** is sent to K.K hosp for high fever reaching 39.6 degrees celcius.

In****** was sent to K.K hospital yesterday at about 12am.

Now, we are heavily sanitizing everything... Fogging will be done at 4pm.

Get Well soon my loves... And let my immune system not fail me.

On another note, will be meeting Darlz later. Not sure who will be joining later other than Yan. Another round of Chill-out sessions. Crap talks, Bouts of laughter. Bubble tea and fruits for me. Hehe...Yeah!! Need that so badly.

These were taken at the previous session. While waiting for Yan. Rahmat, Fai and Edjah came a tad later.

Shoooo...

2009-07-29T10:43:00.003+08:00

Seriously Mrs...

You are pissing me off. It wonders me how you can piss me off every other day without fail..

You are proud of your years of experience right?You're constantly boasting about them...
You even start your sentence with '' So many years already,....'' or ''Done this so many times...'' even ''Have been doing it for so many years that I run out of ideas''.
Typically your templates..

If you are experienced, with more than 10 years under your belt, why cant we share ideas or at the very least, use the past ideas and alter it a little to make it our own. Afterall, thats what you guys did before I came,didnt you? Its just a party for the kids during National Day. Why the heck must I come up with a NEW IDEA?!?!?!?! How dare you pushed it to me..

On top of that, since you had so many years..why oh why during the meeting, when it comes to the serious and quality part such as coming up with words for the spelling..you went all silent??
When just before that, you've been saying that you always do this..you always do that..
Bull*hit you!!

NOW..just because of five words(spelling), you wanna hold a meeting about it?!?!
You're so good...so experienced...come up with it urself lah!!!!

Ohh..no..I forgot..YOU Run OUT OF IDEAS..

Look around you... Are you moving anywhere with all that experience?? You're still right where you are. Humphh.. And oh yeah..of coz, being of that age, you would have all that experience. Im only 21 for goodness sake!

I could go on and on about you..but itll be just a waste of time.
Coz people like you..just wouldnt change.

Take my words, Mrs..

Ill be far better than you when Im at your age. At the very least, I wouldnt be fake.

Now...Shoooo...

Harry Potter!!

2009-07-26T17:51:00.004+08:00

Harry Potter was fun,fun,fun!!!

Went out with Yan&Baya, Zal&Noor, Fai&Edjah for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Chilled till about 7.20 since the movie started at 7.40. Fai&Edjah came later n met us in the cinema after missing out about 30mins of the movie. Fai was feeling unwell but still wanted to come down for the movie. Jiwa betul!!!

The movie wasnt that bad as many people said. Yes,there wasnt any real fighting scenes but there was suspense moments whereby I closed my eyes. All of us, girls cried when Dumbledore was killed. Yah, Dumbledore is dead.......

Yes..this man here is dead..I know..I know..Ive repeated it many times coz I am still not over it.

Hogwarts will not be the same without him...Harry Potter will never be the same since he's no longer there...

I was crying my eyes out during the scene. Haizzz... Super affected when he departs.

Aniways...after that Cass met us and we headed down to Toa Payoh to fetch Amat after we parted ways with Zal&Noor.

After much discussion, we settled down for Simpang Bedok for supper. They wanted to make it easy for Darlz to send me. Sweet kan..=)

Ended the day at about 1.30am. All of us were dead-beat tired and Fai was getting more sick. Get well soon, Fai..

Toodles...

Got to go and bathe. Will be riding down to Clementi to meet Darlz. YayNess!!!

The pics are uploaded at our Multiply =)

Our quality time hide-out

2009-07-20T10:35:00.004+08:00

The whole of the past week have been pretty stressful for Darlz.

What with the whole family down with fever and being quarantined. And his Dad being H1N1 positive. Just as Darlz recovered from his sickness himself.

Syukurlah, my immune system do not let me down SO FAR.

So our weekdays have been basically,

after work, meet up about 6.15..n he will be off by 7 plus or 8pm. He wants to attend to his family needs. So unselfish of him rite?Love himmm...

On days, my cousins will be playing takraw. So they will join us in between their games.

We felt so deprived of each other due to the really short meet-ups that we were dying for Sat to come.

Saturday

We drove the car for that day. Chill out at CBTL with Dinah and Shahril. Ate our dinner at Beach Road and bought the family 'tulang'.( Not nice though. We still prefered Deen, infront of Textile Center. The tulang at Beach road was somewhat...soury. But we still finished it up..duh..)

Was joined by Naq and Norman and drove off to Marina Barrage. Darlz took pictures and somehow he looks like a tourist. Told some wacky experiences where Fai n Edjah joined a tad later. By then, it was already 11pm and we dropped off Naq n Norman at Arab St and Dinah n Shahril at Paragon since they had other plans.

Fai&Edjah, Darlz&Me headed down to Clarke Quay and walked all the way to Boat Quay where we settled down at the coffee shop. People everywhere were in their party clothes. Some were already drunk and vomitting away. Haha...

Had a laughing good time.

And we wanna go honeymoon together kan edjah!! So that we can take pictures for YOU!!And you for us..!! Ok...double haha sey that part.

Ended the day about 1.30am.

A day that Darlz and Me were waiting for a whole week. And its worth the wait.

17...17...17..

2009-07-15T16:18:00.003+08:00

Its our 17th Monthversary.........

17 mth and going strong as each day passes..

Im proud to say...this is my longest relationship ever..

(actually it started to be my longest ever since our 10 mth. hehe)

And I really hope this will be my last. I love u loads darlz..

On another note,

DINAH!!! YOU SO NEED TO EXPLAIN URSELF!!! GERAMNYA AKU!!!

So happy for her..yet angry with her...can??

Dinah...mit us lah..full update k.. pending..love u lots..

Another Movie Date=)

2009-07-12T12:31:00.008+08:00

Saturday was superbly great with superb company...

There were five couples altogether. Yan&Baya, Ahmad&Cass, Rye&Ayim, Rahmat& Aisah and of coz Darlz&Me. Too bad that Fai&Edjah is somewhere in Batam and Zal& Noor had made their own plans. Well anyways, we watched Ice Age 3- Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

The movie was funny..and the characters was super duper cute...esp PEACHES..

Me and Cass were cooing away..'Ouh..he is soooo cute.'

BUT..But...But...

Most of the funny parts have been showcased at the trailer. So somehow, I already expect what will come next. Therefore, it wasnt THAT fun anymore.

Overall 3/ 5 stars.

After that we parted ways with Rahmat&Aisah and headed to Cuppage for dinner. Food was Ok. But the Man who was serving us was over-friendly. He even opened all our drink cans and directed the fans at us. Call that some service. Ayim&Rye left soon after and the 6 of us headed to Paragon's Coffee Bean for chilling session. Which of coz is a session that cannot be missed.

A day that was filled with jokes&laughter and crappiness that comes by the tonnes.

Toodles.

Get Well Dear

2009-07-10T11:44:00.002+08:00

I wish I could...

I really wish I really could..

Sitting beside you till you get well..

Give you your meds..and massage your back.

I would have pamper you with all that I can..

Shower you with everything that I have.

But darlz, Im sorry. For now, you have to get well on your own.

Ill wait till you're better.

I know those words, the voice doesnt really mean for me. No apologies needed. I love you so.

Ayah's Birthday!!

2009-07-07T07:30:00.011+08:00

6 July was the day Ayah became 46 years old.

So, we celebrated Ayah's birthday in a new way this year. Well mainly coz Im already working and I can spend more on him. =) He was one happy happy man....

3 July- Adik and I secretly booked 2 movie tickets for TRANSFORMERS at 8pm for him. He have been wanting to see it since forever. We wanted Ayah and Ibu to go for the movie like a date and we looked after baby boy. Haha..So happy can. He called us after the movie exclaiming, "This is the best show ever!! Ayah nak gie ngok lagik(I want to see it again!)"

Darlz, he didnt say anything about Megan punnnn!!!

Aniwae, surprised him with a cake and his presents when the clock strike 12. Of coz, we tricked him. We wrapped one of his shirt and gave it to him. Imagine his surprise when he opened the present only to see his shirt inside. He was like,''Eyh!! This is is like my shirt!! I have this shirt!!'' All of us were like,''No!! We bought it. You dont have this shirt lah.''

He scrutinised the shirt, Smelt it and said ''Yes!! This is mine. I know the smell.The tag oso dun have.I cut it away myself..'' We just cant hold it further. So I said,''Really?? Oklah2 you win! Close your eyes..we transform your shirt. ''Lame but who cares, haha. So we replaced it with his real present. He was super duper beaming with happiness when he saw his gift.

1 top- Nike.1 top- Adidas

In the day, brought him for dinner at Sakura Cuisine, Far East. That too he was tricked. Brought him around and said we were eating at Puncak. But actually, reservations has already been made. Haha..To cut it short, after an hour, all of us could barely move as we ate too much. Like Adik said, ''Im having goosebumps coz Im too full.''

All in all,we spent quality time and enjoyed each others company greatly.

NEXT, Ibu's birthday on 25 Aug. Hmmmmm......

P/S: Wont be going for work. Spending time with Darlz. YEAH!!!!

My First

2009-07-05T15:45:00.012+08:00

Yesterday was one whirlwind Day and Night.

I had concert practice in the early morn. Teaching the children to shake their booty to some arabian songs as our item will be 'Turkish'. Not an easy feat. But we are somehow managing it.

Headed to St James for the PAP Women's Wing 20th Anniversary. PM Lee Hsien Loong walked past me with his many bodyguards but I didnt realise it. Thanks to the strict body check and I was being scanned. Humph... We were the only ones decked in beautiful colours although the colour code was supposed to be white. Another thanks ekh!! But we laughed our time away all the same.

Darlz joined me at Vivo soon after. Grabbed our dosage of starbucks while waiting for Naq and Norman.Got our chops at The Boiler Room about 10 plus. The party-goers there doesnt suit our taste. By 12, we were already heading to ZIRCA joined by Fai & Edjah. Danced and drank a lil. And then headed to China One for about an hour. YES!! We club hopped to 3 clubs within a night. Tiring but fun. Dunno when this will happen again..but Im keeping my fingers crossed.

P/S Dinah, my deepest condolences. I didnt know that your friend that passed away was Nick. Up till Naq told me, then only it rang a bell. Im sorry for being oblivious. I feel your pain.Take care babe..

Sneakies below(Pictures are uploaded not according to time). More pics will be at our multiply. Link- IDAHAFEZ.

Gone with the Dance

2009-07-03T21:24:00.007+08:00

Time flies. Cant believe its been 2 years now that Ive graduated. Memories are left.

Eversince graduation,Ive stopped dancing for big shows. Another of my life-long passion. Now,Im just teaching the young ones to dance. Its been such a long time..I truly missed it.

Most of the pics are lost due to rebooting. These few pics are my last few big performances.

I Miss Performing...
I miss learning different malay dances...
I miss the gruelling practices..
I miss the people....

Well...Oh Well...

What A Great Show!!!

2009-07-02T00:48:00.003+08:00

TRANSFORMERS WAS FCUKING AWESOME! Great show with alot of actions, plenty of humour and a lil bit here and there of sadness. Overall its a GREAT movie. No one should give it a miss! Megan Fox is Smoking Hot!(My Gf gonna kill me. Hehe) No straight man can deny that fact! Not even YOU. Was referring to Yan :P . To first timer like Amat. That's Transformers for you. And I hope now you know who is Megan Fox! Don't ever make me laugh out loud in front of so many people. You never fail to do that. Next up will be Harry Potter! I'm a fan, but sorry Harry, you can't beat Optimus Autobots. Ok snap back to reality. To Faizul, I hope you're recovering well now. I know that you've been discharged. Thank you for updating me. Your sms really makes my day. To Ayim, congrats on winning $1k from 4D! Haha! I know its all gone now. Afterall we're only human. And human being got bills to pay! Haizz..I still can't get over it. TRANSFORMERS WAS FCUKING AWESOME! Sorry Zal :P . Goodnite People!

Trip to PD/Genting

2009-07-01T17:16:00.020+08:00

Staff Retreat was fun with the company of teachers turn wild..

Its where I see ...
My supervisor laughing and letting her hair down. Asking her son to be more sly when playing card games.
My Administrator(principal) in shorts and tank top, obviously just woken up from her sleep and came down for the breakfast.
My chinese colleagues getting high on alcohol and singing their lungs out.
All of us in a room(the more happening teachers only), playing charades and card games making the most noise up till lam. Oh yeah..of coz, discussed about M.J. and watched his concert at NT7(if im not wrong..this is the malaysian channel.)
Some of us on Viking @ Genting. Kak Mas, proving her fear to all the people at Genting. Shouting while closing her eyes throughout the whole ride.
All in all, there's not much of a bad experience except that I MISSED DARLZ ALOT. And I whined to Sarah. Literally whine. SO unlike me..EWW..
Luckily Sarah is patient and a great roomie. Totally happening with her around. Cant thank her enough for being so understanding to my emotions and fun all at the same time. She didnt get on my nerves a single sec throughout the whole trip and im sure I didnt either.. Kudos to us!!! Well, enough of this blabbering. Let the pics do the talking...

Joycelyn, Me and Sarah @ Halal Chinese Restaurant for Breakfast

Us- making full use of the painting in the restaurant.

Me, Cik Endah and Kak Mas

Me and Sarah

The Chaos of providing rooms for everyone

Our side bed- which we didnt use at all.

Our balcony

Our huge bed

Our humongous toilet with a jacuzzi-like bathtub, a seperate shower, toilet etc.

Me on the bed with the room's slipper.

At the hotel's restaurant for dinner. Its around 7. I dont understand why its still so well-lit.

Us at the Karaoke Room - celebrating Jess's birthday.

Sarah and Me @ Genting on our 2nd day

Bubbly bubbles!!!! We managed to get this after being unsuccessful on the 1st night. Used plenty of soap and bath salts. Changed to our bikinis and jumped straight in! Yes, it can fit both of us.

My centre's teachers and supervisor. 140 yo!!

Played poker in a different way. In the bus , with plenty of sabotage using powder. Luckily the bus driver didnt throw us out due to the noise we made.

Ok thats it. Got other pics too.. But just cant upload all. Getting lazier by the minute.

OH YES!!! Our multiply is up!!! Thanks to Darlz.
Its not fully done yet but its up. That where me and darlz gonna put our pics. So grab them if u wan. Or browse through if youre interested.

Nonsensical Creature

2009-06-30T13:24:00.002+08:00

You are really pissing me off, F. Going around and pointing fingers at everyone. Come on, man. Grow UP!! Oh wait...you already are. You're already in your 40's but your behaviour..Goodness!! Only 2 year olds do this. Theorist call it egocentric. 'Me..Me..Me..' No one else exist in your world. Yeah..yeah..I know you have more than 15 years of teaching experience. SO What?!?! You are still where you are 15 years ago. Look around you...Things have changed. You aint got no authority doing what you did earlier. They way you are now, my patience is running thin.
I swear...if you dare to raise your voice at me ever again, Ill make you crumble and cry. Mark my words. Let's see who will have the last laugh.

Its no wonder why your husband and kids left you. And I wonder how such 'LADIES' can be a teacher. It really puzzles me. OOPs...being too bad am I? Well, live with it.

P/S: Ill write up about my trip to PD soon. Ill leave the KL trip to Darlz. Haha=)

TRANSFORMERS tomorrow!!! Movie Date with Baya and Yan.
Tickets confirmed.. Cant Wait!!
Too bad Zal & Noor cant join. (Noor, maybe I really should make frens with your mummy. =p)
For those who have watched, shuddup ok.

Apologies to the 'People of the Nation' for being unable to attend the sup tulang date.
Norms, U eat Naq up for Fez and me k.. SUM SUM!! Jgn lupa pakai straw, sedut...

I'll miss you terribly

2009-06-25T16:54:00.002+08:00

**Warning: This post will be mushy for some and may cause drowsiness. Please read with caution**

Will be leaving Singapore for Port Dickson/ KL trip for a staff retreat tomorrow.3 days 2 night.

3 whole days without Darlz beside me. Thats gonna be hard.
Just thinking about it is already making me tear.
Im starting to regret my decision to go. But all the plans have been done and I cant back out now.

Im so gonna miss you.
Super duper terribly.
It aches to even think about it.
Honestly, I dun remember how I managed to live my life without you, before.
Please take care , Darlz. And wait for my return dear.
I love you.
Loving you more with each passing day.

Got to go and pack my bag for the trip.

With nothing but a heavy heart and tears in my eyes.

wE 'R' BaCk!!

2009-06-23T14:53:00.003+08:00

All five of us are back safe and sound in Singapore. Just a Short update.

Had such a great time there, i truly dont know where to start.

The hotel is fanta-bulous, our suite+ connecting room was mega huge. We feel like a million bucks.

Some of the places that we went?
Pavilion -We went to this Great shopping Centre countless times!
Zouk -Fabulous!
Times Square- The indoor themepark and fish spa.
Sungei Wang Plaza- So many t-shirts were bought there.
Petaling Street- A must!!
The Mall- Right beside our hotel.

Shopping, shopping, shopping to our hearts contents.

And like Dinah said ''It depends on the company that you're with''.
Well, it runs in the friends...

Hopefully Darlz will upload some of the pics taken there coz my laptop is giving me a prob uploading those few pics taken with my camera.

So aniways, gonna go for a staff retreat to Port Dickson & KL this Fri to Sun.
Darlz will have to wait for me till I get back. Thinking of leaving him even for those few dAys makes me sad. Dunno how it'll be wen the time really comes. Haiz...

Lately

2009-06-14T12:41:00.017+08:00

Its been a loooonnnngggg time since my last update. Well, cant help it. Since Im on school holiday and do not really go to work. Except for those meetings and courses.=) One happy lady...waking up only at 12pm sometimes. What a great life.Having a blast almost all the time.=)

So anyways...below are all those pictures that I didnt have time to update on. =)They are gonna show what kind of blast Ive been having..hehe..

5th June

Congrats to False Pause for coming in 2nd for the competition!!!

You guys were just fanta-bulous.

The band itself. After winning the comp. Tired faces but full of joy.

The girls who were there. (Noor is not in the pic.Havent reached yet)

The chill out session after that. Crapping non-stop and plenty of charades sessions.

Thanks to Fai for the SICKO MOTHER STICKERS!!!(I was the unlucky one to get that.Luckily Im clever enough to act it out. haha=p)

Ended the day about 1.30am. Those few times Ayah and Ibu allowed me to stay out late.=)

6 June

Waffle Cottage @ Suntec + Chill out @ Padang

7 June

Ibu, Adli, Adik and Dinah were there too..but I didnt managed to get many pics though. Totally forgot about my camera since we used Darlz cam instead.

8 June

Super Date @ Sentosa

Just the two of us. It was super precious and I enjoyed every single second. We had to end the day early though since Hiddy was to be enlisted the day after and Darlz was joining his family for dinner. Nevertheless, I had a great time. Thank you dear for making me happy.

We are off to K.L. at 8.30 am tomorrow.

Me, Darlz, Dinah, Naq and Norman is sure gonna have a blast for all the 4 days 3 nites we are there. WOOOHHHHHHOOOOO.....

Toooddllees and take care, people of the world!!

I Miss You Bro...

2009-06-10T00:25:00.002+08:00

Hiddy was enlisted for NS today.
There he goes with my parents sending him off in the morning.
Said a few words to him, and bid him goodbye.
I can't recall how many time I told him to take care of himself and not to over-exert himself.
Got a lil bit emotional when I was getting ready for work while listening to him strumming the guitar.
He strummed a sad melody alright.
There were tears in my eyes, but I hid it from everyone.
While walking to my bike, there were still tears in my eyes.
Eventhough we're the kind that didn't share alot and always try to get from each other's way, I do love him.
I do care about him.
Well bro, you're all grown up now.
Get it done and over with alright. Do the right thing.
I know that you'd rather join the Army than to join SPF.
But that's life, sometimes the decision is against you.
You just have to accept it.
Try to have as much fun in there alright.
Patiently waiting for your book out day...

Babe's Gonna Leave.

2009-06-04T16:19:00.006+08:00

Lately, lotsa things have been happening. Especially my work life.

Today is totally, totally Alicia's last day of work. Lost of words. The feeling of knowing that your partner in crime , your bestfriend, your confidante AT WORK is leaving you...totally degrades you..big time.

Now I've to deal with this particular teacher that gets on my nerve, myself.

Well, thats life. Im happy for Alicia.

Dealing with parents...is totally not for the weak-hearted. There are so many different types of parents that someone should really do a study/ research on them. Or has it been done?Haha....

Aniway, my weekend was spent simply with my favourites..

Tomorrow, we will be having a farewell dinner for Alicia at Seoul Garden. On top of the Swensen's lunch that we already had. ARGH!!! Im so in denial....Still thinking that I will still see her at work. So both of us are putting up a brave front. Pretending and definitely not acknowledging our emotions.

P/S: Cant wait to go K.L.!!

PP/S: Ive no mood to type more. My Bestest colleague/ friend is leaving!!!!!!!!

Here are the pics for the weekend(NAQ and SUPI...Im so sorry. Just realised, I didnt have ur picsfor that day.) and the Swensen's lunch with the colleagues.

That Tiring Sunday...

2009-05-29T14:51:00.006+08:00

Rough

2009-05-27T10:38:00.004+08:00

My whole fam had a pretty rough night yesterday. Only shutting down at around 2.30 am after all the uncles left. Things have been happening that is scaring the shits out of me. I know Ive to be strong. But right now, I just cant. Thank goodness Ive a fabulous boyfriend that understand when Im in my 'scared' zone. So dear, you antar and ambik I k. Yeah!!Kalau tak, I tak kuar rumah after 6.30 pm.

I know that this whole week will be super duper rough. So just gotta suck it up.

Im very tired and sleepy that it seems to make the room spin.

Even during lessons, I wasnt my usual self. And the kids realise ok. Some of them asked me whether I was sick while others interrogate my sleeping time. ( Well, thats what I do to them. When they complain they are sleepy. So now, its my turn. smart kids.)

Darlz...I totally miss you. 110%!!!

Where love takes us

2009-05-25T14:26:00.004+08:00

Waves after waves of challenges hit us.

Existence of stupid characters that do nothing but try to break us.

Sheer will, patience, understanding and LOVE to hold on to. guiding us through the rough ride.

It will never stop as long as our heart beats as one.

Your understanding, acceptance and trust puts you in a league of your own.

I respect you for all that is worth. I love you with all that Im worth.

And thank god, you're mine.

Ibu and Ayah supporting me and guiding me in this relationship. Ever so open, never forget to give me advices, I know ill always be on the right track with Darlz. Alhamdulilah.

For those who thought its easy to break us up, think again.
Im not the old girl anymore.
Ive became a lady.
And totally HAFEZ's.

Swallow it up!

Rock it

2009-05-22T16:10:00.005+08:00

The process of doing the portfolio is something that Ive never experienced before.

Sometimes, Im so tired that even the names of the kids, I got it wrong( filing the worksheets). At times, ill be so hyped- up that Ill do the unnecessary things that takes time. Eg. Using cute star stamps instead of just ticking the boxes. What the heck right..I know. But all the time though, feel like my shoulder is gonna shatter into pieces and my backbone break into thousands different places.

Am I being such a complain queen?? Haiz...cant help it. Sorry If I am..=(

On a lighter note, Im meeting Darlz tonite! Yeah!! Gonna take a breather.

We just missed each other too much I guess. Due to our hectic schedule, by the time we meet; after my tuition with the kids, we just have energy to update each other about our day. Nothing more. So tonight, its gonna be just like the old times. Friday night spent together.

Well, tomorrow gonna meet up with the ''people of the nation''. (cited from Dinah) After doing my work of coz.

So far, the trip is going to proceed.

Hotel= settled. Bus= pending.

Bout the Swine flu, hopefully no more new cases.

We will take necessary precautions on our trip there.

Lets all pray hard. Hehe.

So people.....ROCK YOUR WEEKENDS ALRITE!!!!

This pic is super suitable for the word Rock lah seyyy....

Battery Low

2009-05-21T15:22:00.003+08:00

Parent Teacher Conference is officially next Saturday, 30th May.
So im up to my head with checklist, children's works..the remarks..pictures of them etc.

Since Ive TWO classes, this amounts to 45 portfolios. THUs, MEETING 45 different sets of Parents. DIE lah DIE!! Haiz...

So my Battery is really running low.

I cant wait for all this to be over.

Boring post, but heck...just need to let this out...

45 PORTFOLIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
45 PARENTS!!!!!
1 ME!!!!!!

ARGHHHH....

FYI.....
Portfolios are where we file in children's work and makes remarks about them. There are also checklists for the different domains eg. language and literacy, numeracy, self & social awareness etc. (somewhat like report cards that we get in school) This can range between 10 to 20 pieces of work( These are not worksheets. Worksheets have their own seperate files.).

Parent Teacher Conference requires the teacher to update the parents about the child's progress and shows all the work done in school. In my case, the works are seperated into 2 books(Creative Writing & Blending cum Maths Book) , Worksheet files, 1 Sightwords book and Portfolio(usually related to Art and are not considered normal worksheets.) All these have to be prepared before the PTC.

PPS: ZYAN...AMCAMZ...nak jadi teacher lagi ke tak??=p

Congratulations!!!

2009-05-18T14:18:00.020+08:00

Abg Iwan and Kak Ain are lawfully husband and wife. Alhamdulilah. The 3 days 2 night affair made everyone tired out of their wits. But it was all worth it. We welcome our newest member, Kak Ain into the family. I didnt manage to get many pics especially on Sun as I was very busy and didnt even carry my camera. But darlz managed to grab some from his. Cant wait to see them. So aniways.....here we go.

The Akad Nikah. Kak Ain's father ''giving away his own daughter's'' hand in marriage. Cool or what.

Oops...forgot...the ''Duit hantaran''..

After the Akad Nikah.

Exchanging of rings.

I know!!! This pic is damn sweet.... AND I managed to get it.

Da cousins @ the void deck after the ceremony

From Her to Him.

Inclusive of Red Wings shoes,Clinique for Men, Shirts( forgot to check out its source), Prayer Mat, Cakes from Swensens, Royals etc.

On Sat was the wedding held from Kak Ain's side. @ Tampines Changkat C.C.Didnt go as I had to do my work stuff and spent little time with my Darlz. =)

On Sunday. The wedding at our Side.
As mentioned, I didnt get any pics. Except for these few. The Decos before the ''sanding'' took place.

Super loved the Deco!!

Sri Mahligai played at both venues. And we sure had fun dancing as a family to the malay songs played. Even the bride and groom was not spared. About 4pm, I started it off with dancing to the song of Mambo( to the encouragement of the makciks) followed by the cousins. As soon as Ayah saw us, he started to join too. In the end, basically all of us were dancing. Even Tok was dancing to the beat for the 2nd song. It is custom for us to dance during the wedding as we are given the thumbs-up by Tok. He just loved Sri Mahligai. The ceremony ended with Tok saying prayers infront of the bride and groom on the 'pelamin'. I cant wait to the see the pics and the videos!!Truly, I had a lot of fun.

To the couple, congratulations!!

Kak Ain, welcome to the family. Now, you are really one of us. Weee-wit. May happiness always be by your side. One day, you'll just be as crazy as us. =)
To Abg, you have always been my closest abg sedara. You give me the love of a brother that I never had. Im thankful that you have met your partner. I'll miss those times that we played football when we were younger, climbing up the playground, going holidays and doing crazy stuff. Now your new journey will start. All the best big bro!!

2009-05-12T10:25:00.010+08:00

W.O.W Part 2

2009-05-07T15:24:00.002+08:00

Its been a whirlwind week for me. I feel like I cant even catch my breath. But heck, I dont wish to talk about it. Like Ayah said, Work will be work. You still have to do it. So yeah..not gonna talk about it. Except for a teeny weeny bit. Im sad!! My close Pal is leaving. For another job. Will talk about it when the time is nearer. For now, gonna pretend as if nothing is gonna hapen and cherishing the times that Ive left to work with her.

W.O.W for today?? (stands for Words of Wisdom=)

'Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.'

A mouthful to say, yes. But soo..soo...deep.

By whom??

Anthony Robbins

He (born February 29, 1960) is an American self-help writer and professional speaker for over 30 years. Robbins seminars also used firewalking as a metaphor for overcoming fears and limiting beliefs.

Cool or what?!

Weekends!!Please come soon. I cant take it anymore.

Our Weekend

2009-05-05T13:33:00.017+08:00

My weekend was a blast..

Pics will show it all..

Karaoke sessions..on Thursday night. After that session, we had our late supper at Lau Pa Sat. Then drove to Barrage for some friendship chat. Not forgtting the 'letting out of air' contest. The last 3 contenders were, of coz, Darlz,me and Naq.
I only reached home at 4 am. So SYIOK!!

Friday: After that maddening night, we didnt manage to go for our JB trip. Sorry , F & N. But we still managed to have our Chilling session at Noor's Place. Thanks for the great food!!
And who can forget the waiter that served us..=)

Saturday: We checked out the bus tickets for KL trip. Super cant wait for that. AND I somehow craved for Coffee Bean. So there we were. Just the 2 of Us. At Downtown East , gulping down our drinks. Now..... I want my Starbucks please!! (which ill be getting this saturday. YEAH!)

Sunday was really a family day. I was at Kak Rin's house since she just shifted and everyone was preparing for Abg Iwan's wedding. which is like 2 weeks away.cant believe he is getting married. But on the way there, we dropped by a flea market in front of the C.C. We bought 2 tops(mine) 1 dress(Adik) and a necklace for Ibu. Spent just 35 bucks. We loveeee flea markets....

So, thats for now. Toddles.

Hip..hip..HOORAY!

2009-04-30T11:11:00.002+08:00

WEEKENDS ARE HERE!!!!

Books and worksheets to be marked.
Checklists and Portfolio to be done.
All of them will take a backseat for now. hehe.

Coz its time for some chilling and some love.

Will be meeting the peeps for some karaoke-ing. Dinah booked the place at 9pm. so will end it at midnite. Told Ayah the truth for coming home late, Dinah even wanted to talk to him so that I could go home a little late. You see, Ive a curfew. the latest that I dare to hit is only 11.30pm. haha. 21 and under curfew.

But I guess thats what special about my dad. Strict yet understanding. You got to know him to understand what I mean.

Back to the story; am having cramps so am definitely not riding my own bike. Darlz will be driving. Hehe..Happiness! He get to send me back straight to my frontdoor. This is one of the many reasons how he melts my heart. Though we are staying at the opposite end of Spore, he makes it a point to send me home(if the situation permits). No matter what time it is, how tired he may be. Now, thats a real sacrifice ok!! That many men will surely fail. Haha!!(I know, a sweeping statement. But I dont care. Coz in this time and generation, many men are no longer true.)

I guess one of the reasons why I dont go back late either is coz Im a big scaredy cat. Laugh at me, but I dun care. I am ONE BIG 'penakut'. Bring on those gross movies, snakes and whatever, Ill be able to laugh it off. BUT no thrillers or scary movies. Ill never ever watch them. Even if I do its either forced, or Ill close my eyes and ears throughout that I dont even know how the ghost looks like.

So am so looking forward to 5pm to knock off work, rush home, freshen up and wait for my knight to fetch me. =)=)

Sat, will be waking up early. Going to JB for petrol. Like Darlz said ''Bila bole bgn lambat, kita semua nak bgn siang." So Noor, Jgn lupa bwk passport!! Then will be catching a movie, and more chilling after. Yeeeehhhhhaaa....

Sunday will be our rest day. Got to do work. Blearghhh! But who knows..the plan might just change. *crosses finger eyhhh..salah..berdoa.*

Since Ive already updated about our plans, the next entry will probably be filled with photos. Wait for it! if your interested,that is.

Take care people of the world. And Happy Labour Day!!

W.O.W Part 1

2009-04-27T14:31:00.005+08:00

Firstly, Im gonna change my font colour to another colour. Though I love RED..but like Adik said, ''you are already using red to mark your children's work. It seems like in the blog, you are marking Abg Hafez words. lame!! but gonna do what she suggest aniway.''

A few days back, as I was looking through Adik's school handbook, I realised that at the bottom of every page were words of wisdom.

I was literally hooked to reading them eventhough most of the names were very unfamiliar.

I wished I could share all of them with ya. But that would be one helluva looonnnnggg post.

So I decided to share one. As a start.

Martin Luther King

Who is he?

King was the chief spokesman of the nonviolent civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. He was assassinated in 1968.- Wikipedia

After his assassination, a campaign was started for a federal holiday in his honour. It was first observed in 1986. Now, it has been officially observed by all the 50 states since year 2000.It is one of three United States federal holidays to commemorate an individual person.

Interesting isnt it?

His words??

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

Personally, Ive always been one who voice my thoughts, tells others what I truly feel. I treasure words that are spoken, read actions that are being shown. Likewise, if Im in the wrong, I dont mind being told as long as there's logic and definitely not a sweeping statement. Of coz, nobody is perfect. Yet we cant take that sentence lying down, creating one mistake after another.

I hope to be a better person, in words and actions. For what I believe in while respecting others.

Killing two birds with one stone, I'd like to apologise to those I may have hurt with my words. I know how strong-headed I can be. And friendships is a long jouney with tests and obstacles. I may not have passed all those tests so far, but you know how much you guys mean to me. (ESP..Dinah and NaQ)

To Darlz, you keep my feet rooted to the ground. Sometimes when I am raging with anger, or tumbling with emotions, you manage to hug me tight and make everything better. Your words and your actions, somehow mould me. Never thought it was possible, but I mean it.

Hopefully you will always have this unending love and patience that knows no boundaries. Amin.

Hooray...to a better tomorrow, to a better me.

Work life's hard!!

2009-04-21T11:30:00.008+08:00

If I knew how difficult work life is gonna be, ill never ever ever complain about studying.

Bring on all the tests, the assignments. Ill be glad to do them. Ill enjoy every single sec of schooling. But Haiz...those days are gone. I guess you just don't appreciate them until things are gone/ have changed. Its only human. But if only...

Work has been taking a toll on me. I really feel lethargic and sometimes, just feel like shutting down.

My upcoming duties that are stressing me up?? Besides teaching and coming up with lessons, of course.

1) come up with a script for Graduation Concert. By 7 May. Working with Alicia and Sarah.

2) practicing with my kids for our sports day event.Ours is Skipping ok!! WTH. So damn difficult.

3) In charge of the National Library Books that my centre borrowed. Will be in charge of the K2 level.

4) Meeting on 7 May with the supervisors and the three of us, scripwriters.

5) Supervision for the Music Factory on 13 May.

6) Meet the Parents on 30 May. Which means..all the portfolios and files to be READY! the most disastrous of them all.

7) Our dance item for my 2 classes will be music from Turkey/ Istanbul. Belly-dancing/ Body-jiggling...here we go!

8) Best of all..Emcee for the concert ok!! Like what the......****!!!

Ok..so here it is. The life of a working lady.

Oh yeah, on another note, had a great weekend. Weekends never fail to make me happy. Exception for this upcoming saturday, 25 April. I've to work till 4 pm. Registration day and branch sharing. So peeps..if wanna go out, after my working hours k..k..HINTSSSS..

So back to the story.

On Saturday, my bike had to be towed back to the workshop. Problems. So me and Darlz dropped by to pay my instalment and the repair works. 2 more months and the bike is mine. mine!mine!mine! no more instalments. woohoo! After that, went back to his place for him to change and headed to town. Met Dinah and Naq. Chilled at our port. Zal and Noor joined later. Followed by Supi and Khairul. Chat and joked. Played 1-100. Idiotic them! Asking me to jiggle in the middle of the pathway in front of so many people. Thanks to Darlz and Dinah. Kong Asam! Ended the day about 10 plus.

Btw..Carrot cakes are sold at selected outlets.
I am so kidding. Please dont be fooled. Its actually mashed chocolate lava cake and cappucino cheesecake. Courtesy of Darlz and Me.

On Sunday, it was our date. Ate at Sakura. Fanta-bulous food! We watched 'Knowing'. The tickets were bought on saturday as we didnt want to take the risk of sitting at lousy seats. Haha.Bought my shoes. Met nisah, my pal at ssdc. She's now taking her 2A. Idiot. Haha.. We shall mit up for some riding k? The promise we made even before we passed our tp. Ended the day early. We were too tired.

P/S: currently am thinking whether to open up a multiply account to dump all the ever-growing pictures. And to ease those who wanna view or grab them. Never favoured all these online accounts. So, still pondering very hard over it. How, darlz..how?

PP/S: Never knew what love meant till you came. Im glad you knocked on the doors of my heart. You take my breath away. You are my strength. I love you..

Saving- Up TIME!!

2009-04-16T11:43:00.003+08:00

Its no-spending-unless-necessary period for me and Darlz. Got to save up for the KL trip and I wanna really shop till I drop there. Still thinking how much should I save for the 2 pathetic months that I have. Haiz...

I am so looking forward to it..

To the company that I'll have there..Weee-witt..

To the endless shopping...

To the DESIGUAL at Pavillion..

Mostly, to the quality time spent with great people..

List goes on. Really cant wait.
Hope everything goes as planned.

After the trip, got to save up for the future.
The saving-up period will go on. Haiz..
