this is seriously so amusing. so so amusing.
for the very first time my handphone battery went flat on me early in the morning today, there were actually people who tried contacting me. tim. who asked me if i'm free. mok. for his regular updates. my cousin. who asked me if i'm free. jeremy. who asked me if i wanted to meet up. sam. who asked me where we bought roo's pressie. and of course, my mummy, who wanted to ask me when i was going to reach home. plenty of smses. but what they dint realise was that i couldnt or rather dint get in touch with them at all cos i had no idea they tried contacting me. grin. oops. apologies everybody. heh. came back from orals to realise that my handphone was on super low bat and after i came back from breakfast with wanting, it was totally flat.

but on the other hand. i thoroughly enjoyed myself today. alone. all by myself. remember doing one particular email survey about myself, and i remember vividly writing down: "1. Describe the best feeling you've ever had: when im alone" maybe i'm just plain weird or something, but ever since secondary school, i really treasure the times when im alone. just going around, alone to the library, or to shopping malls just walking around, listening to music and yeah. which was what i did today. did some outrageous things la. or rather, rephrase, things that i have not done for a very long time.

left school at around 11. was debating to go westmall, jurong point or woodlands library. decided to let the bus decide for me. if 945 came along, westmall it is. if 176 came along, i would hop on to 187 and rock my way to woodlands. if 985 came along, i would rock my way to LOT 1. in the end, 945 came. but not before i met my E2 students. christopher and gang who came back to school just to play basketball. okay. grin. they looked a little hesistant before approaching me, but maybe that was because i had my headphones on. as usual.

went to westmall and wasnt satisfied with the library. at least i couldnt find my "feng shen bang" there, no matter how i searched the shelves. so i made up my mind, by going to woodlands regional library. yeah. so took the mrt and found myself waiting outside the library atv 11.55 for the library to open. opened at 12 and i went up to the usual floor to scout for my feng shen bang again. couldnt find it. so wanted to borrow san guo yan yi, but i was pretty sure i couldnt finish it, given the load i have now. but i spent a whole one hour just looking for the book, cos it's quite hard to find a chinese classic in the shelves of chinese books especially when i had no idea who the author was and i dint want to ask my dad cos i wanted to give him a surprise by getting him the book first. but still couldnt find the book and off i went to the adult fiction section and started looking around. realised that somehow im getting just a little tired of thrillers. or maybe because i havent found any new authors to my liking yet. so borrowed only two books in the end, timeline and another book set in the holocaust. looked interesting so i borrowed. by then it was already 2.30pm and i havent ate my lunch. wanted to dabao fast food but i wasnt sure of my mode of transport home then. was debating between 187 (which meant a super long ride home) and the mrt. guess what i went with in the end? the bus. 187. grin. yeah i know im a nutcase. and. i ate old chang kee for lunch. madness aint i? my lunch was just a curry puff from old chang kee. obviously i cant bring fastfood up the bus and start munching on it like nobody's business mah so i just bought a curry puff and home i went.

but i havent taken a nice long busride for a long time. used to take it when i went home from rgs for four whole years, but ever since, the longest busride was just a mere 40min from hwachong back home. missed the times when i had enough time to take a nice nap and wake up, just in time to get off. with my headphones on and listening to music. yeah. so i decided to just take the 187 and rock my way home. and i did. take a nice long nap chilling out to music and yeah. woke up just in time to find myself in jurong. what a nice long trip. yeah so im curreently wide awake now. and the bus journey wasnt that long. it was a mere one hour trip. from woodlands to jurong west. not bad sia? grin.

it was nice being uncontactable for that whole 4-5 hours. so peaceful. so relaxing. so. me. hee.

eileen, i'd rather have the school not involve me in their meetings. went for staff contact yesterday thinking that it was just the weekly half an hour discipline staff contact when it was the 3 hour long staff contact and i was meeting sam at 4.30 at plaza sing la. in the end changed venue all the way to jurong point la. and i only met him at 6plus i think? oops. so sorry la. heh. but i had a nice evening last night la. hee. i dont bear to eat the choc you gave last night leh. so nice. but so ex at the same time. $18 per 100g is really madness lor. but i gave my sis a piece. and she was like "why aint it white choc?" grin.

had orals this morning and surprise surprise, it was so much better than 3express my goodness. even eunice had a great time. sheesh. the normal acad students are more forthcoming and frank with their views and we saw some light through their opinions in their conversation. had sean neo for my batch, the one who quit school for half a year last year and only came back just recently. he said that his family was in a horrendous mess and that's the plain reason why he started hanging out with his friends ever since he was in primary three. oh btw the question was: what are some of the times you liked spending with your family? and he said outright he had none. felt a tinge of sympathy for him when we finished orals with him. other girls said that they would want to have their parents not quarrel day in day out over small minor things, allowing them to have some peace and quiet at home. one actually told us "shopping malls are alot more quiet than my house." see how bad the situation can get? there's simply nobody at home to help them, and when they start giving up on themselves, really. they turn for the worst. saw zixiang this morning, he gave me another lame joke and i told him to "jiayou" for his orals. he's in 3T2 and he's one who never fails to give me a smile AND a lame joke whenever i see him. asked him about his orals after that he was like "zhe yang lor..." and he brushed it aside and gave me another lame joke again. seriously that joker ah.

daniel is going to take over mrs kelly ong on monday. which means giving up his 1E5 and PE classes and wanting will be taking over him. which means i wont get to work with him for EL. the original threesome gang of me yunshin and him separated. he's quite upset over it la and during the staff contact meeting he was complaining about a headache. stress la. mrs ong going on maternity leave and now he has to resettle himself all over again teaching physics. well at least they dint post him OUT of the school, which was the rumours we heard before. i'll miss him if he was posted out la.

i still got papers to set, comprehensions to mark and homework to do. havent gotten down to doing my jap homework. die..
