I'm attached

Well luck has been on my side lately.. i got to know a nice guy.. who has treated me with respect, love, care and concern so far and i am very grateful for that.. thanks for being there for me during e difficult times... i appreciate it very much and i hope we'll stay happy always..

My teaching experience

For the past three days, everything had been running smoothly.. i took two classes for relief teaching and even managed to make some new frens who are around my age.. i am slowing getting to know the school more as i have just attended a Lasallian seminar today where all the staff of Lasallian schools got together to share their experience..

I took the lower primary kids for relief teaching. I supposed they are still pretty innocent.. you will be surprised at the questions posed to you.. in fact i did feel that these kids are still quite manageable... One of the cutest things they like to do is, they like to ask some silly qns that don't make sense.. and when u ask them back the same qns, den they would start to giggle as they do not know how to answer either.. cute actualli..

i dun think i will give up.. this is the closest to what i wan for myself and i will perservere.. wish me luck...

ISNT'S IT BEAUTIFUL?

:(

My honeymoon period is coming to an end... so going to miss it.. but i think i am ready for work... been feeling useless lately.. so used to moving ard that i start to wonder if i am realli a workaholic... going to do some research on HAND FOOT MOUTH DISEASE.. hope it will help me with my teaching..


Happy weekends!

My batam trip

I just came back yesterday... I dunno wad to say abt this trip... it's definitely below my expectation... when i was taking the ferry ride back to Singapore, I just have that horrible sense of homesickness... yeah, u will say it's only 2 days but i am sure i miss home! there's no place better than home.. when i went to sydney, i felt exactly the same thing, i tot it was because sydney was a longer trip but i was so wrong... comparing singapore to anywhere in teh world, singapore is still the best..

Overall, the best thing abt batam is the cheap massages and spa treatment u can get from as low as S$20, which lasted for 1 and a half hr.. pure traditional javanese massage.. u get ppl rubbing and stretching ur whole body.. it's pure pleasure.. i almost fell asleep.. the first day i had massage at 10pm singapore time at the resortt i am staying.. u get to listen to the waves, feeling the sea breeze blowing lightly against ur face.. u get to drink hot ginger tea after the massage.. yes, u may not get to try this in singapore.. and i tried the massages for 2 days.

despite getting to see seaview, the resort is not a very grand or up-to-state one.. maybe it's indonesia, i felt like i am staying in a chalet.. but lousier one than singapore's... but we do have chickens running around the resort and waking us up every morning... definitely feel like kampung.. haha

I also get to see the state Indonesia is in.. i tot that since batam is near singapore, it should be quite developed than other parts of indonesia.. but i was wrong, u see the squatters, u see kids selling newspapers at the roadside.. when the lights turned red, they will flock to the cars, asking u to buy newspaper from them.. I rmbered on the first night, it was raining so heavily that the vision was blurred.. But there they were, covering the newspapers with plastics and selling them while they were drenched in rain... so pitiful and they earned only 2 cents from each paper they sold..

the santitation condition is also far from what i expect.. when we went visiting the temples, i can only say that the toilets were just so original.. u used u flushed. and they have a basin filled with water located just between the two cubicles. after using the toilet, u have to use the pail and scoop water to flush the toilet.. how cool is that?

But the worst thing abt this trip is during the ride back to Singapore. I am so sick... We have no time to have our dinner as we went to massage so we were rushing staright to the terminal after that. being so hungry, i do not dare to take my motion sickness pill on empty stomach so i went to board the ferry... unlucky thing was, we were seated at the open air part and a group of indians sat behind me! they were laughing, talking loudly and SMOKING! At first, i do not feel sick at all, but as time goes, i almost get suffocated by the cigrattes smoke and the endless talking. I start to feel sick, no air nothing and i had gastric pain.. looking as singapore getting clearer in view, i seriously do not want to go back to batam again.. i am so not used to the hr long ferry ride! u can see the difference between singapore and batam.. one dark and gloomy, another bright and lively... I rmbered telling my mum at that moment that i am so grateful that i did not apply for SIA.. i think they were right, i'll miss hm!

I am so glad that i am a singaporean and i grew in this tiny island.. small island with big heart!

Enough of my grumbling, i will attached a very nice pic i taken from batam..

Introducing Debbie Gibson

I'm not sure if any one fo u have heard of Debbie Gibson.. Well she's a very famous teen pop star in the 1980s.. Recently, i am smitten over one of her songs "Lost in ur eyes". I highly recommend to u guys so check it out.. Enclosed is one of her live performance...

Debbie Gibson:

Lost In Your Eyes lyrics

I get lost in your eyes
And I feel my spirits rise
And soar like the wind
Is it love that I am in?
I get weak in a glance
Isn't this what's called romance
And now I know
'Cause when I'm lost I cant let go
I dont mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes
I just fell, dont know why
Something's there we can't deny
And when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you
And if I can't find my way
If salvation seems worlds away
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes
I don't mind not knowing what I'm headed for
You can take me to the skies
It's like being lost in heaven
When I'm lost in your eyes
I get weak in a glance
Isnt this what's called romance?
Oh, I'll be found
When I am lost in your eyes

another day..

I finally got my posting, it's a boy's sch!!!!!! ya not too bad wad u will say but u noe i freaked out when i received it because it's St Joseph's Institution Junior! One of the best boy's sch in Singapore.. Well, maybe those ppl posted me there beacuse it's a Catholic sch and i happened to come from one too, except it's girl's school.. I will be teaching Maths and English and i just spoke to teh Vice-principal.. He wants me to go down to the school one day beforehand... And he said that he will brief me on the classes that i will be taking.. Cool! Realli looking forward... At first felt slightly dissappointed because the sch is so far away from my hse (it's at Novena) but i guess there's a purpose to everything planned for me.. so nothing is impossible to Sally!

Will be going to batam this weekend.. will post pics

bored bored bored...

i think this is the only time for me to catch up with my friends, have some fun activities but seems like everyone is busy with their own things... exams, work and even more work.. i cant be too greedy rite...so just have to wait..

what i've planned for today:

1. book the tickets to batam at people's park centre
2. meet joan for dinner
3. and wait for the next day to come... so sianz.....

am i a workacholic? or is it due to the nature of my previous job... always fighting against time, trying so hard to finish all the work before 7pm or risk staying even later...


I MISS ALL MY COLLEAGUES!!!!!!! WHY IS IT THAT EVERYTIME WHEN U LOSE SMTH DEN U TREASURE IT MORE?????

mayb i shld ask them out for lunch one day next week... argh.... it's only 10 in the morning and i starting to feel so restless....

Preparation and my thoughts

Alright, since I am practically free now, I think I really need to get something to do, plan my days well and prepare myself before work starts. Mum was telling me yesterday that I am going to become a teacher and so to benefit myself, I got to do some reading and researching...

I have to check up on what students are learning right now.. We used to study algebra when we were Primary 5 but apparently what i heard from my colleagues are pri 3 students are already studying that.. Wow! What a big change.. Kids are indeed getting smarter... Having heard from my cousins about their intergrated program, CCAs and overseas exchange program, I do feel intimidated by them... Do I really know what I will be expecting?

Scary! Yes, I do feel pitiful for kids these days... With such an advanced Singapore education, You are not even sure if this is a gift or not..

I just hope that given my current involvement in the education system, i can do my part in making students' learning more interesting and less pressure...

Wow, what am I talking? Ok, so I went to the library yesterday.. borrowed 4 books..2 chinese books (both are the famous china stories, with illustration somemore because I AM STILL FEELING ASHAMED BY WHAT THE INTERVIEWERS ASKED ME), 1 thriller and lastly 1 book on how to handle difficult child, meant for mothers hahaha.. But they are still relevant la..

K enjoy all ur weekends..

Officially free! (grossiest thing in the world)

Yes, i am now officially free.... no more work for 18 days and i can do lots of shopping, watching movies and anything that i like.. well, thurs was my last day of work.. didn't expect myself to feel so emotionally abt it.. becos i have been treating it like any other day... it's not as if we wun see each other again rite?

but surprisingly, i did feel sad especially when it reached almost the end of the day... i was pretty quiet.. doing my work as usual as i had to leave at 4.30pm and i dun wan the work to accumulate.. at first, i was sitting in the hemato section with my other colleagues.. then i find them being suspicious as slowly one by one, they started to leave me alone... later they were even mentioning smth abt asking mr seow to sign some coagulation report which i have nv heard be4..

just when i am very engrossed in my work, all my colleagues started coming into my room with mr seow leading the way! At that moment, i just felt tears rolling in my eyes because i have been to so many farewell and i can assure u mr seow has nv come out in person to bid farewell.. i must be super big shot lor hahahahaha... but there he was, holding a present and a rotan in his hands... the rotan was made by louisa and there is a piece of paper on it.. scroll down to see my presents.. so sweet rite.. but sadly i did not bring any camera so louisa was the one taking the photo using her cam...


they bought me a watch from swatch.. not this one but i upgrade it to this one cos the one they bought me doesn't suit me






speaking of taking pics, i am super grossed out by Mr wong lor!!! i was working all alone in the morning at the hemato section.. then i heard his footsteps nearer.. sometimes i dun like him cos he will look and observe what we are toking or doing even from his room.. then for me i dun like him to come over to my room to help me cos i find him very irritating.. but what realli happened to me was quite a shocking thing to me becos i was noticing why he came into the room as i was concentrating on my work.. all i noe is that i heard his footsteps and he stopped outside the room.. it was later when junting came into the room, den he told me that i was caught on camera!

JT: Sally (laughing), u are caught on camera!

Me: What camera? u mean just now those contractors coming in taking pics is it?

JT: NO LAH! Mr Wong took a picture of u working in the lab!

Me: WHAT THE HELL? HOW U NOE?

JT: I want to come into the room den he blocked my way and i saw him using his cam to take ur pic! U die liao! (still laughing)

ME: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW< GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO and get the memory card from him!!!!!!!!!

I seriously dunno what tat means?! Is it because i am his fav "disciple" and he will miss me so he wants to take a pic of me in memory? NO NO CANT BE THIS WAY! SUPER GROSS JUST BY THINKING OF IT! I think he is WEIRD! Oh man, u noe straight after that i feel so violated lor.. i mean i feel like cecelia cheung and i need to go on an interview hahaha, but pls la, i mean if u realli wan to take my pic u dun do it secretly rite.. somemore he is a guy lei! funny thing is when i ask him to take pic with him before i leave, he die die dun wan to take with me alone... i supposed he wan to take pic of me but not with him! YUCK!


Puke man! all along my company practice is if u leaving u can bring ur cam n take with others but not others bring cam to take pic of u! I WAN TO PUKE!


hope u all wun be grossed out by this!
