"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,

Second entry in 2 hours = Too many things going inside my head/I need to bitch.
****
Talking to you is wearing me out, so much so that I feel I must surely be dying softly but surely.
****
Exhaustion = Feeling exceptionally drained and tired.
So what is "seeing things"? I got home, and I went to the kitchen. I swear I saw that loaf of bread!! I even planned to savor it for my dinner. So, I showered first. (Comfort before satiation.) Haha. Anyway, I went back to the kitchen once I was feeling all cool, took out the butter from the fridge and then, I saw the bread was missing.
I searched and searched. My mom said, "Nobody bought any bread today." =X Love,

there will be no smokescreen in my blogpost, because today i am, yes-
1) insanely occupied, and still am. and will be until at least the end of this week.
2) mostly pissed with them, and probably will always be until a freaky event of nature takes place.
3) exhausted, but not enough to boast about it.
---
i was reading someone's blog post and i totally agree with what he says/type/whatever.
you have to give someone respect before you can expect to receive some, in return. but how do i
even want to try to respect someone who views others' misfortunes as something to be scoffed at, making them feel good about themselves? it makes me sick to the core. it makes me want to roll my eyes a gazillion times because we are all no different from other people who are also trying to advance themselves in life. but for each and every person breathing right now, their definitions of "this is where i want to be, this is what i want to do, this is what will make me happy (and not others)" greatly differ. at some point, i somehow hope/pray/wish that these people will encounter a bad phase in their perfectly crafted (or is it, fake?) lives just so that they can actually wake up and smell the coffee.
--
the next thing i want to say is, be frigging humble. i dont give a damn about how good you think you are right now, because in my opinion, you are still the same, and your every effort to make yourself look better than everyone else, makes you look desperate. worst, pathetic. naturally i would expect you to disagree, because nobody in this world is right, except you.

seems like my days are getting increasingly more dramatic. that, i dont mind- but i am exhausted, man!
maybe this is good... this will make me incredibly occupied so that this week will fly even faster! :) right, ed?!
------
you know, people who may appear to be less fortunate than you, or appear to be of low status, may be much richer in terms of happiness and contentment than you. for people like yourself, nothing can ever be enough.
and that is why, i believe you will never reach that level of understandanding as to what it means to be contented and to be at peace with yourself.
do a reflection, for once. a selfless one, please. Love,

when she arrives, that's what she will be called.
~*~*~*~*~
My day was... goood! I awoke extra early because I suddenly remembered work. Damn.
Even though I am ahead of deadlines, I am still thinking about them. Haha... as long it is not fully completed.
So I end up being the first to get up, shower, clean the room, strummed for a bit and then out for breakfast! Reached home, showered again and went out to meet the gang for bowling. Pretty happy that I am STILL able to hit pretty okay scores (less than 100 though) even though I have not been playing for eons..! Really enjoyed playing with them.. I was not even conscious about other people.. Even did silly stunts. WAHAHA. Kinda fired up my love for bowling again. Hehehe. I remembered beating MR in all bowling games until he got fed up. *roll eyes.
~*~*~*~*~
Ooo.. guess what?! Approx 11 days more..! Time has really passed so fast..! Makes me a bit sad though. Coz what will come will go. But I totally cannot wait! Excited to embark on another new adventure~!

I am home! In the bus, as I chilled out to the songs in my MP3 player, I thought of my (electric) guitar class. Haha. :) I reflected upon how much I have learnt.. how the guitar used to be such an elusive instrument to me... what can all those strings possibly mean? And now, I have even understood how to tune my guitar (easy for experts, but accomplishment for me! :D). I can also play some stuffs. Of course, I still have a very very very very long way to go to actually be a good player- but that's skills for you; either you practice to be good or let the knowledge you attained, rust without being applied. I will try. I was very much inspired to pick up learning guitar from a certain incident that took place sometime back. I was going slightly under then, and I have .. say, lost sight of my ground for a while. But some bad stuffs are actually blessings in disguise; I found myself yet again, with a slightly more refreshed vigour. Losing myself in work was not sufficient. So I thought of making myself extra occupied by picking up a new skill. And somehow I am glad. Music has always been my <3.
------
FOURTEEN! =D And just about 7 more full days of work before I can ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
But these two weeks are just totally nuts! Regular duties plus the additional duties... goodness! At times like these, I wish I could split myself into two or three. Haha. I can do it! Love,

days to go! woohoo! hurrah! yeay! at the same time, this translates into 10 more full working days
before i go on... as ed calls it.. my "sabbatical". :D
***
here, i bid adieu to my touristy weekend. today, it started with Singapore Botanical Gardens, followed
by a trip down to the Esplanade and then the Marina Barrage? Something like that, ended by
dinner at KTM. the best part probably is i did not get much work done. :D but i do realize that
i am getting to be a shower freak. hahahaha!

I totally detest lateness. I mean, okay, it is not that I am punctual all the time.
But consider this: being late for a private & super intimate wedding affair.
Actually arriving after the event is over. It ended at 3pm. And some people
actually arrived at 3.15pm. Lucky, some of us were hanging around, chatting
with the bride. And these people! Like what the! Seriously, what the! Out of
total respect for them as guests, the host of course stayed behind and ensured
that they were served a bit of food. If they want to complain after that, fug it.
They were late. They deserve it. Obviously, it was made known the actual
ceremony would commence at 11am. Lunch will begin after the ceremony is over,
ending sharply at 3pm as this is a booked event. I really dont know what these people
were thinking. Feel like smacking their heads one by one. Argh!!! So, what?
Are they just there for the food?
****
Nevertheless, I wish the new couple all the happiness they deserve. :}
After that, it was pretty aimless shopping and a *eat til you grow fat* dinner
session. GOODNESS! but it was fun fun fun naturally.

EIGHTEEN. can you believe it?! =D Love,

He: "So I see that you are happy today."
She: "Well, can't I be happy without a reason?"
He: Yeah lah, but why?
She: Because I am contented.
He: Hrm.
Me: >_<
Honestly, can't one be happy without an explicit reason? What if you just reach this
state of contentment within yourself? *sigh*
At the moment, I just feel very contented. And at this point, relaxed after a nice long shower,
doing the girlie stuffs, blah blah blah. And currently listening to Deep Purple's Highway Star. Man, the
guitar part is solid! Impressive. I still believe this old rock is really THE rock. Maybe someday I can play the guitar part for this song? Hahahahaha! Riiiiiiiiight.. *I CAN DO IT!!*
May is going to be a crazy month. It's like the last "step on the gas pedal"
before a :) :) :). But who says I still can't have fun?
Already am. :p
After all, work is work. You still have to live your life.
