Steamboat with cam'on was super
fun! Ultra fulllll now. *burp*
The mountain of food they bought was
crazy la. In the end, really couldn't finish. Haha. Wasted! And I can't believe we had "useless" food like tomatoes and chilli and lemon and lime and whatnot but...
no prawns. -___-'''
Steamboat just doesn't seem right without prawns la. But ohh! We discovered many uses of cheese in grill! Think we can add the word "cheese" to "cam'onions" already. Lol.
Come to think of it, why is it spelt as "cam'oni
on" instead of "cam'oni
an" huh. I was telling the rest, I can picture a perfect logo for our team based on that: an onion holding a camera. HAHA.
Okay damn lame I know. Who ask mun pun to spell it as oni
on!
Totally felt like a student once again in ntu la. I miss those days! Haii. Now all I feel is stressed over being jobless when everyone around me is getting employed one by one with each day. Stress stress
stress!!! =(
I can only take minimal comfort in knowing that at least I have a tiny bit of income from tuition..which, incidentally, is about to increase because my students want tuition twice a week now. Hmm.
Speaking of my students, yiwen was damn hilarious that day! I told them each to write me an essay so that I could go through with them. It was something about overcoming a phobia..and hers was regarding hydrophobia from a drowning incident. The whole essay started off fairly well, with the main idea being that she enjoyed swimming alot, and loved to dive. Until I read something about her forgetting to wear a life jacket to dive. And I was, like, HUH? Since when does anyone wear a life jacket to
dive? Kind of defeats the purpose right. So htet paing and I were trying not to look too amused, whereas poor yiwen couldn't figure out why she was off-track with her idea of wearing a life jacket to dive. Lol.
Okay not very funny. But her essay really baffled me at that part. Haha.
It's really quite a joy to tutor them, although I'm a little apprehensive about how they seem to think that my english is freaking
zai. I guess my previous students all drove me nuts with their heckcare attitude and refusal to pay attention during tuition. It's a fairly nice feeling to know that everything you teach is being eagerly absorbed. =)
To sidetrack a little, my specs are still not repaired! Or rather, I just can't find the exact same frame anywhere lehh. All no more stock. Damn sian la..I love this frame of mine, and it didn't come cheap to begin with. What with the fact that my degree is ultra high and therefore my lenses are very expensive, I'm not quite willing to pay another few hundred bucks just to make a new pair of glasses.
Arghhh. But looks like I have no choice. And my specs have been driving me crazy since it suddenly spoilt in cambodia. Can't even wear it straight! =(
Ohh and, I am so
not going to buy the iphone already la. So ex! And singtel's plans are damn crap. Totally need to change a new phone but my plan with singtel only ends in late october..gotta
lun another 2 months! Cos' I don't think I want to stay on as their customer. Been waiting for the longest time to switch to another provider. Bleahh.
Can't decide what phone to get next..the omnia is pretty attractive, but around the same price as the iphone. Although I think the omnia's functions are better la. I don't need such a high-tech expensive phone though. Just a simple one will do..but I can't deny that gorgeous phones with many features are pretty appealing. Toying with the idea of some other samsung touchscreen phone but..shall see what's available to me come october.
Lately been having weird headaches which throb on the right side for a while then disappear. Darn
irritating! Maybe it comes as a package with pms, but never had that before. And my monthly
dayima is totally screwed up la. I have a screwed up system, unfortunately. I simply have no idea when it plans to come and when it does, whether it's going to kill me or not. This month's is completely off its rocker again and not coming still. Don't know if the stress of graduating and being unemployed is causing my body to go
more haywire than usual. Siann.
Still keeping my fingers crossed about the AE job position..hope they'll call me up with good news! I don't know if it's because I really,
really want that job, or because I'm just so darn desperate that I'll settle for anything now. But I do want it, all the same. Haha. Please call me and tell me you'll hire me! *prays prays prays*
Been praying for a sign for something else too, but I'm starting to think that maybe it's unnecessary after all. Some things in life just aren't meant to have an answer; at least, not when you want it. Often, the answer pops up someday, somehow. I shall just be patient and take things one step at a time. If it's meant to be yours, it will be eventually.
This week is jam packed with activities! What with CFG coming up and all..and
saiii, I still haven't studied my japanese verbs. Test is coming in a few weeks I think. Shucks!
Off to lawyer's office again tmr..so sian la. Everything week or two gotta travel down just to pass them something or sign some document. Can't they just do it all at one short?! Not say very near lor. Super waste time and money travelling!
My life now feels pretty stagnant. Still suspended between the worlds of a student and a working adult. Geri in transition. Good and bad la..maybe more of the latter than the former.
I should just start the trainer business we were talking about during steamboat earlier. Jeremy hurry go find a few wives for me to train lehh! Then I can say I'm working, at the very least. Haha. Damn crap la, but it was super funny all the same. Haven't laughed so much for a long time.
I miss the cambodia trip, the 12 days we all spent together, the friendships forged and understanding developed. I miss being part of a big, big group and feeling totally happy, not bogged down by realities back home.
Ohwells. Stop dreaming already geri. Life can't always be slack and smooth-sailing.
And so I crash back down to actual reality.
While my own reality is out of this world.
