He, whom I feel sorry for
Tuesday, February 18, 201412:09 AM

I feel sorry for him. Really. I really do. I know I have high expectations. But I don't want to be with a guy just because my friends are all planning to settle down and I am afraid to be left alone, possibly with a house full of cats in the near future. It is better than being with some idiot who doesn't appreciate me. Everyone live once, unless of cos you are a cat which has 9 lives, then.. yes... waste all your time dating some idiot and have your heart broken all over a again. For, I need to make full use of it.

I made a list of the things I would want to do/ I am actually doing it:

- get an another job to pass the weekend away and of cos to earn extra cash.
- travel around the world but right now, I am trying to cover asian countries first.
- Less shopping and save more.

Right now, that's all I've. Probably more than those who procrastinate more. I am indeed proud of myself *pat on the back*

He, whom I see around once a week on almost every Sunday. He, whom I kinda feel irritated that he doesn't seems to understand and isn't able to see the signs of an uninterested person.

I hated the idea of me saying mean things to a person just to push them away. I hate the idea of a person sticking around a person with such feelings I am not able to receive. I do have a list of what I want to see in a guy and I am sticking to it and he seems to be nothing like the one in the list. I know I sound like a bitch who thinks I'm so attractive and thinks I deserve all the diamonds in the world. Well, I do think I deserve all the diamonds in the world, I deserve to have a certain guy like any other humans out there who thinks the same. I do look myself in the mirror everyday. Everyone does, in the same way as I look myself in the mirror? Probably not.



A new year a new me?
Tuesday, January 14, 20148:57 PM

Greetings everyone!

It sure has been awhile since I have updated anything here. I have been busy lately and spent my holidays trying to earn extra cash. Yes. What a waste. But it would totally waste my holiday just staying home with nothing to do, eh?

Yes! Another year has gone by. Nobody especially me can believe it. A year gone by, like a click of a mouse. And on each new year, we wish for something extraordinary things to happen but ending up with disappointment yet again. There is a quote that state, 'if you fall, stand up and try again', yes, I think it is easier said than done, don't you think? But up to what point in life that we will be able to stand up without falling down? Maybe life is teaching us something that we have not realise it yet, eh?

Last year was a roller costa ride. I lost my one and only grandma on the 19th May. It felt like my heart was ripped to pieces. As hard as I would like to admit it here that my grandma is no longer around for me to pour my heart too, I too regretted that I didn't spent that much time with her whenever I had the chance too. I regretted it deeply. She was the one person I truly enjoy spending time with. Being with her, has taught me so many things in life and for that, I am forever grateful. No words can ever be said on how a wonderful woman she was. And even though that I do dream about her once in awhile, it would never be the same being physically with her here. May be rest in peace.

Anyway, I did not end my year new bitter. I made new friends, had christmas party with some new friends (the party was incredibly awesome. I sure had a few admirers and had too much too drink. And I would like to thank Andy for taking a good care of me. It sure felt good to be looked after). and reconcile with old ones. And after the journey I had, I learnt you gotta stay strong no matter the obstacle.

goodnight.



That familiar face
Monday, October 14, 201311:10 PM

Long bus ride can get lonesome at times. I was doing a random search on YouTube to entertain myself when I came across an Asian Production based in America. I remembered watching a few of their short films and decided to watch it again. It wouldn't hurt to watch again, would it? Besides, what can I possibly do in the bus.

I watched at least 3 to 4 short films of theirs and I still hasn't arrived at the destination. I was watching one of their short film when a character from it caught my eye. I spent at least 5 minutes staring at the character, second guessing as to whether I have met him. But how could I possibly have met him when he isn't even a resident here?

I must have watch it a couple of times trying to convince myself that I know him somewhere. And then Hermir liked a photo I had posted on Instagram a few minutes before. It then hit me hard that I obviously have no relation with the guy from the short films. (He actually lives in Sacramanto, California and he is a american-born korean) He just resemble a guy I was in a relationship with for couple of years ago. You see, Hermir is a cousin of his and so each time I see Hermir's name, I think of him. I was taken aback on the same face features, the same hairstyle, same hair colour, same fashion sense etc etc. I can actually go on and on, on their similarities













Brunch
Tuesday, October 1, 20137:41 PM


I had all planned a week ago to spent time with my baby sister and Yus to have a nice brunch away from the city. Since the place it is not a convenient to take public transport, I had to book my dad's car for easy transportation.

The Costal Settlement. Not many people know about this place and so it is not crowded. If you ask me what I like about the place, I would say the atmosphere because of their lovely atmosphere and it is a hidden gem in the east part of Singapore. They place is so big that it may even fit up to a hundred people.

The moment i step into the place, there is a rustic charm that it is makes it all possible to stay there the whole day.

As the ICL stated: "This is a destination to dine in comfort and to simply forget about everything – Sentimental oldies loop softly in the background, crystal chandeliers hang from the low ceiling and cast warm light against the wooden furniture, scents of fresh roast and bakes fill the air"

Recommended? I wouldn't recommend because of the over priced food and the not so friendly people.

Go see it to believe it.


Cheers.








GoodBye J3AM
Friday, September 20, 20137:21 PM

I was heartbroken when I was inform that I may need to help out in the afternoon session. It was the first time I ever felt I had my own class to myself (aside from Joraine). A class of my own where I had subjects to teach, lesson to plan, discipline and love them like my own. Can you imagine having a class on your own, what joy it brought me for couple of months? The minute I saw their teacher back from her long MC, I knew it! I knew that I wouldn't be needed to help out the class anymore.

Today was my last day in the class and as I stood at the corner of the class, observing them, I told myself I would miss them dearly and would make it a point to come early to see them on a weekly basis to drop and say 'hi'.

Students in J3AM:

Roy Hong: The most mischievous yet the most adorable boy. He always greets me with a big wide smile and calls me every now and then. He enjoys holding my hand and hugging me. He enjoys hugging me every now and then. I was taken aback when I was talking to a teacher when I feel someone holding my hand, then i realise Roy was holding my hand because he was being scolded by another teacher. On teachers' day, teachers were asked to choose a student from our class whom we want to receive a flower from and Roy came straight to my mind. When it was my turn to receive the flower from him, instead of looking at the camera and giving me the flower, he was posing with the flower like as if the picture of taken because he won an award. How Cute!

Ethan Loo: The Mr Why. Always asking me why each time when I told him to listen to me. His favourite thing to do in the class? Playing with the table. I was amaze on his small built, he was able to turn the table upside down but panic when he wasn't able to put the table back. I would give him a warning look but instead of feeling afraid, he gave me a big wide smile and ask me, 'why?' 'what i do?' When the table was being taken away, he lean against the next table. He loves to sing 'Oh McDonald had a farm' everyday. He has the tendency of not tucking in his PE uniform he wears everyday and have to be reminded each time. Parrot of the class. Copying every single thing a teacher ask him to do something. At times, I thought the class actually keeps a pet parrot. Ethan Loo is opposite from his parents. Yes. He looks just like his mom and he doesn't seems to inherit his mother's frown. Unlike them, he smiles at everything. Informing his mother about what he ate in school is just as scary as the principle.

Jimmy: What can I say about this boy? He is the only non vocal student. As he is not able to talk, he makes baby noise every now and then. Just like Ethan, he plays with the table. This is the student whom I have to be careful with as he tends to get aggressive. He bites, he scratch and he pulls hair. I have so many scars on my hand and apparently, I am not the only one. Visiting the toilet every 40 mins is a must for him and he tend to pee in his pants without knowing or worst, pass motion! He seems to have so much water in him. He loves the water and each time when he passed motion and I had to rush to find the toilet auntie, he rush into the shower and play with water. Crazy day of my life!

Jia Wei: The brightest boy in the class. Each time when we visit the library no matter whether in molly bus or Civic Centre, he never fails to look for me so I could read him a book. He enjoys learning new things. He is the second parrot in the class, he always tells his classmates what to do and tend to talk to himself. Unlike Jimmy, he is the most vocal. Jia Wei tends to inform either me or Joraine about Roy beating him today when it happen days ago. Separating Roy and Jia Wei is a must as Roy tends to kick and beat him and Jia Wei's parents tends to overreact.

Sudrassan: The second brightest student in the class. Speaking to him loudly and slowly may be needed at times because of his hearing aid. He is a quiet boy and listens well to the teachers and looks after Jimmy well. He enjoys learning new things.

Nabil: A quiet boy. He always avoid eye contact with anyone who talks to him. Though it takes time for him to absorb new things, he is best when it comes to drawing. I was so amazed at his drawing. Way better than mine if I could say so. I received a teachers' day card from him with a drawing of him and me at the front page. He is able to write and know his alphabet well but not when it comes to spelling.

Emily: The day dreamer. Emily is the next brightest student in the class but she tends to lose her focus. She is the least focus student and seems to be amaze outside of the class. She always look after Jimmy.

Izzati: What can I say about her. A well-behave girl. She listens well in class and never fail to ask for help.

Eryan: The mischievous boy. He always has things up his sleeves. Just like any other ordinary malay boy, he likes to make noises in the class by banging on the table and chair.

Jing Hui: The smallest of them all. Another bright students. She listens wells during lesson but needed to be reminded on her sitting position. She tends to get moody when it comes to end of school but cheerful at the beginning of school. She greets and smiles and even hi-5 her teachers each morning.

Ridzwan: Coming to school may not be one of his favorites due to this poor attendance, but he enjoys singing and dancing and is able to remember dance step during a short period of time. He loves giving his friends and teachers heart shape with his fingers. He takes a longer time to drink and eat his fruits during snack time because he doesn't enjoy them.

Judith: Little Miss Kpo. Always asking her friends to do things while she herself ain't doing it. Just like Ridzwan, she doesn't enjoy eating fruits and would whine each time when I told her to eat fruits.

Nicole: A bright student who smiles and laugh all the time. Though she is slow in alot of things like taking out her communication book and her snack out from her bag, she puts in effort.






G-DRAGON_삐딱하게 (CROOKED by G-DRAGON)
Thursday, September 19, 20132:00 AM


The reason why I uploaded a video below is because I am feeling under the weather today. This song did cheer me up a little. For those who are feeling under the weather just like I do, I hope this song cheer you up as well. Though the lyrics of the song may not be the best to cheer up a person but the beat of the song does. Fighting!! >.<

G Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) is a member and a leader in a South Korean Band called Big Bang. My first favorite korean band and they are coming to Singapore in a few days time. Sadly I was too late in purchasing their tickets. *sob* *sob*

Anyway, enjoy the video. Lyrics and romanization can be seen below.


p.s I highlighted the words I know 



Yeongwonhan geon jeoldae eobseo gyeolguge neon byeonhaetji
Nothing ever lasts forever in the end, you changed
Iyudo eobseo jinsimi eobseo sarang gateun sori ttawin jibeo chyeo
There is no reason, no sincerity take away such a thing as love
Oneulbameun ppittakhage
Tonight, I’ll be crooked

Naebeoryeodwo
Leave me alone
Eochapi nan honjayeotji
I was alone anyway
Amudo eobseo da uimi eobseo
I have no one, everything is meaningless
Satang ballin wiro ttawin jibeo chyeo
Take away the sugar-coated comfort
Oneulbameun ppittakhage
Tonight, I’ll be crooked

Beoreokbeoreok sorichyeo naneun hyeongijeung
I scream and get dizzy
Nae simsimpuri hwa puri sangdaeneun dareun yeonindeul
I vent out of boredom to other couples
Gwaenhi sibi georeo dongne yangachicheoreom
I start fights for no reason like a town gangster
Gakkeum nan ppittakhage darireul ilbureo jeoreo
Sometimes, I purposely shake my leg, crookedly
I sesangiran yeonghwa sok juingongeun neowana
The main characters of the movie called this world is you and me
Gal goseul irko hemaeneun oeroun jeo seom hana
A lonely island, lost and wandering
Teongteong bin gilgeorireul gadeuk chaeun gireogideul
The empty streets are filled with those who are alone
Nae mamgwa dalli nalssineun cham deoreopgedo joha
Unlike my heart, the weather is so damn nice

Neo hana mitgo manyang haengbokhaesseotdeon naega
I used to believe in you alone and I was happy
Useupge namgyeojyeosseo
But like a joke, I am left alone
Saekkisongarak geolgo maengsehaesseotdeon nega
You used to promise me with your pinky finger
Gyeolgugen
But in the end

Yeongwonhan geon jeoldae eobseo gyeolguge neon byeonhaetji
Nothing ever lasts forever in the end, you changed
Iyudo eobseo jinsimi eobseo sarang gateun sori ttawin jibeo chyeo
There is no reason, no sincerity take away such a thing as love
Oneulbameun ppittakhage
Tonight, I’ll be crooked

Naebeoryeodwo
Leave me alone
Eochapi nan honjayeotji
I was alone anyway
Amudo eobseo da uimi eobseo
I have no one, everything is meaningless
Satang ballin wiro ttawin jibeo chyeo
Take away the sugar-coated comfort
Oneulbameun ppittakhage
Tonight, I’ll be crooked

Jiteun airain geutgo seupeurei han tong da sseugo
I’ll put on thick eyeliner, use a whole can of hairspray
Gajukbaji, gajukjaket geolchigo insang sseugo
Leather pants, leather jacket with a frown
Apeumeul sumgin chae apeuro deo bittureojillae
I want to hide my pain and become even more crooked
Nega mianhaejige haneureda chimeul kak
So you can feel sorry, I’ll spit toward the sky
Tubakhaejin nae maltuwa geochireojin nunbichi museowo neo
You’re scared of my crude words and my rough eyes
Sireun na itji duryeowojyeo doragagopeunde gal de eopgo
But actually, I’m afraid, I want to go back but I have nowhere to go
Saranghagopeunde sangdae eopgo mwol eojjeorago
I want to love but no one to love, what am I supposed to do?
Dori kil su eopdeorago
I can’t turn it back

Neo hana mitgo manyang haengbokhaesseotdeon naega
I used to believe in you alone and I was happy
Useupge namgyeojyeosseo
But like a joke, I am left alone
Saekkisongarak geolgo maengsehaesseotdeon nega
You used to promise me with your pinky finger
Gyeolgugen
But in the end

Oneulbameun nareul wihae amu mal marajullaeyo
Will you not say anything for me tonight?
Honjain ge na ireoke himdeul jul mollanneunde (geudaega bogo sipeo)
I didn’t know being alone would be this hard (I miss you)
Oneulbamman nareul wihae chinguga doeeojullaeyo
Will you be my friend tonight?
I joheun nal areumdaun nal nega geuriun nal
On this good day, this beautiful day, this day where I miss you
Oneulbameun ppittakhage
Tonight, I’ll be crooked
