Back, and very amused with myself actually. For unknown reasons, I went back to my blogger's dashboard and started reading my posts, the last being written in 2009, moments before I leave for Europe for a 1.5 month stay. I started reading my old posts and sometimes I cannot believe I actually wrote those posts! Hahaha! Books that I have read, I have totally forgotten about them. I might just dig up those old titles and reborrow them again from the trusty old public library. :)
The librarians know me by now as the girl with reservations faster than they can digest. HAHA! There was once, I reserved 6 books. The librarian, out of her own kindness, extended the loan period, thinking that I might need the extra time. Ehem.... no? I finished them in a week. :p So yes, purchasing books for me is truly a waste of money because I go through books really fast. Eeeks. Of course, unless I love the plots so much I purchase them for my own keepsake.
I always thought journaling is a very important habit and it is true. When you chronicle your days and you look back at them, you will have moments of "Really? I did that? That was how I felt? Was I really that angry/obsessed/insane?"
So, in the spirit of a new life (I can write an entire book on this part but I shall skip the excruciating torture of remembering what took place over the past 2 years), I shall begin my blogging life on a new site. The lovely site is :

never eat at Fig & Olive ever again. The food is never ever value for money.
And I always feel cheated whenever I patronize that restaurant. I don't know why... but it can never be good to feel that way, right? So.... yes, never again.

And so, the day draws nearer. I have yet to pack my bag, but I am not very worried. As I said... oh, how naggy I can be... all my things are in bunches in different parts of the room. It is just a matter of stuffing them into my faithful backpack. I remember, I wanted to get myself a new backpack for last autumn's travel. Somehow, I forgot, and I brought this with me. And I realize, why should I even think of changing it? Not only is it still in good condition, it had been with me right from the start. :)

Tomorrow is going to be slightly more relaxing for me... and it better be! Because it is Clean My Room Day, and Packing Day and Put It All Together Day. And maybe... *shrugs* :p

It is good to prepare early. While sitting on the bed and eye-sweeping my travel checklist, I realized that basically, I have everything on hand, just waiting to be placed inside the bag. So, I suppose I can leave that to Wednesday or Thursday morning itself. :) But knowing me, I probably will pack on Wednesday night. Haha.

You know what I totally enjoy watching, other than movies and good videos? It's people who love making comments based on what they do not know. And guess what? I don't even bother correcting how they think. Because, the more they try to make me look stupid, the more foolish-looking they actually appear. Simply because, I know what I am doing and they have no clue whatsoever, and probably, they will never be able to. What do I do then? Easy. Laugh.

How was my first day of non-work? Strange, because I am used to working, like mad. However, it was also oddly relaxing, and beautifully fulfilling because I work towards making my plans real and dreams, true. :)

In about an hour, it will be just ONE DAY MORE... (a song from Les Miz. :}) Love,

"Time flies" is an understatement. From a hundred plus to just a single digit number 3 is WOW!
Today was Strategizing Day. Met up with Ed at around 9.30am for breakfast and intense discussions. First we tried McCafe but the wireless service was really bad. For nearly 2 hours, we were logged in and out of the network. Frustrated and realizing that time was surely ticking away, we headed to Starbucks. And phewwwww.... the Internet worked wonderfully well and we continued with our planning. At 3pm, we were DONE DONE DONE!!!!
****
Wow, all the way up to yesterday 2pm, it was almost non-stop work for me. And when it was all over... just completely stopped... I feel like I am paused in a video. haha, I suppose the whole long break idea hasn't sunk in fully yet. but it does feel good having to not worry about lesson plans, schedules and stuff yet. However, I am starting to miss my class students and guitar classes. :Z But well, I must enjoy this gift to myself!!! :D
Will be heading to town tomorrow. Hahaha! I have to start packing soon!
Thank goodness the checklist is drawn up. So I am left with, pack, tick, pack, tick, zip, lock!

Today is officially my last day @ work, before I go on my extended leave. Somehow, it felt really sad. Haha. Because this is the first time I will be away from work for a substantial period of time. A colleague even gave me a goodbye hug before she left for her half-day leave. Another colleague shook my hands. (she had wanted to hug, but was not in the physical state to do so... haha!) Also received a message from the vice-principal. haha. Sweet! I left work at about 8.30pm today,making it an official 12 hours of work-functioning mode. Haha. Before I left, I gave my classroom an eye-sweep. I had made sure everything was in top condition. What did I do earlier? Was sewing up a dress! A Spanish flamenco dress. Damn, my sewing skills leave much to be desired. But, it was still done. The final product was still attained. Hurrah! *pats on my shoulder.
****
Feeling quite relaxed at the moment.
That break-ish feeling hasn't set in yet. :p Love,

Time check: 12.33am. I have been doing work for the past say... 16 hours. With Muse's Unintended playing on repeat mode to accompany me, I suddenly feel slightly emotional. Today is officially the 2nd last day at work before my ultra-long leave. Of course I AM excited! Feeling one way doesnt mean I dont feel the other. I do treasure my Life@ work too. Plus, when I left the workplace around half past 9 in the p.m., my Principal came up to me and said, "I feel that I miss you already." (include hand actions!) Awwww. I plan to keep in touch with them when I am on the move. :D But of course, I am rather apologetic that I was not able to respond in kind because I felt desperate for a shower. All I could think of was to get home and head for the bath.

Tomorrow...! Tomorrow! The last stretch. Love,

totally. totally sick. i will not and never will believe a single word you say ever again.
No amount of seemingly perfectly crafted speeches, sprinkled with
lovely analogies will do the trick anymore.
Because You are a L-I-A-R.
Maybe for the first few times, I will try to be nice, empathize, even sympathize..
but what the heck! I see no use doing this anymore. The next time,
even when and if it gets bloody... I am prepared. Wayyyy beyond prepared. Love,

I have this knack of intending to do something, out of my usual routine, and then ending up not doing it-
completely justified by an array of pathetic excuses. Well, I suppose, don't we all? Haha. Anyway, I digress.
Today was the last day of my guitar class. :( Sad emoticons align today's date in my journal. I had this sudden thought of getting chocolates for my guitar teacher; just as token of my appreciation. I was super close to not fulfilling this intention... until I walked right by a tidbit shop on the way to music school. Haha! And how apt; my guitar teacher opened the class 10 minutes earlier than usual. And I had badly wanted to play Plug In Baby before class officially starts. I handed him the chocolates and he (at least to my eyes) appeared pretty touched by this gesture. Hahaa! I would guess so since.... he even offered to send me home. Haha, he tried to strike a deal; you buy me chocolates, i send you home. Sheesh. But that was not the point. And I politely refused.
And guess what! He left the classroom, and passed me a few score sheets (hush, hush... sorry boys! lol!) when he returned. We played blues today. Wow wow wow. Love the rhthym. XIE XIE LAOSHI! It is honestly very interesting to actually sit down and discuss music, in musical terms etc, truly understanding what makes up a composition. :} But no worries, I will not....... like some b.... do.
---------------------------
I am exhausted, yes. But I feel like my week is brimming with accomplishments. Haha. A student made me
card (haha, and yes SHE was the injured one.) - thanking me for stopping her bleeding. Her chin, split open yesterday. And yes, as interrupted as I was ( had been working on projects), I assisted this; at one look, that was no ordinary cut! Ew! Blogging about it makes me feel nauseated. But she was such a pretty child, and seeing her so pained somehow moved me too.
---------------------------
I really dont see why YOU YOU YOU have to turn into such a braggart.
B R A G G A R T. Ew, does anyone smell a stinking braggart around here? Love,
