1. School’s starting and i’ll have to get into the right gear again.

    School’s going to start soon! i won’t be able to wake up @ 12pm like how i just did today :O that’s the only thing i’m going to dread :P but other than that, i think i’m looking forward for school. :) i’ve been on a holiday/break since december last year! 02/12/2010. now’s already June! i wouldn’t say that my holiday wasn’t fruitful. i’d say that for the first one month or so; when i had no job, and when i felt so shitty thinking that i’d waste another 8 months of my holiday doing nothing  but to sit @ home. it became so much better when i spent my days with iffy travelling around singapore and going to places i’ve never, ever been to. eating @ places i thought i’d never be able to afford on my own and doing activities that i always wanted to do. :) i don’t regret any day of my holiday now. i had a good balance between work and play since i didn’t take up any permanent long-term jobs - just relief-teaching, conducting twice a week tuition classes and a camp. ^^ and although i could have saved a lot of money in my bank, i didn’t regret spending any penny of it on good food, entertainment and self-pleasure. :D but yes, i’m going to start saving for my future from the very first allowance salary that i’ll be getting. soon i’ll be 20 then 25 and i’ll have to worry more bout my expenses. :\

    Right now, I need to buy a lot of things for school. Tops, pants, bags, shoes/heels, pencil case, wallet since i puked on my previous wallet and the smell simply won’t vanish :(, stationaries and a good organiser. :) i have to get into that top 20% and i’ll do better this time round. Insya’Allah. I’m not gonna stop just there. :’)

  2. 3rd May - enlistment day.

    What a long holiday it has been. :] A long, but most satisfying holiday I have ever had.

    I remember how I dreaded the first month (back in December) when everyone else had a job while I stayed at home (for what seemed like forever!) and felt utterly, useless. I guess I was a bit desperate. I went up straight to the childcare centre and asked if they needed a teacher aaand I got turned down that instant. :( It felt horrible. It was the one job I really wanted.

    Eventually I gave up on all the job-seeking and just spent my day on anything that made me happy. ^^ Like eating! Manhattan, Seoul Garden, every Fast Food you can think of (Popeye’s/Wendy’s), every Heartlander’s place, Mustafa and even Carousel :D Piggy. Double chin. :B But it felt so gooood. Especially on weekdays, when all the school kids are nowhere to be seen. ^^ 10am movies, Safra bowling, Chinese Garden, Mustafa centre to buy Halal black pepper sausages & peppered fries :D, just anywhere under the sun/rain. Though it meant having to pay $3 a day on transport. 0.0” i think 1/4 of my savings were gone solely on topping up my card. :\ But yeah, the carefree-life must soon end. :( today’s 3rd May which is enlistment day. How time flies…where’s the freeze button when I need it? sigh. What I can hold on now are memories of the time well-spent. :) Really hope two weeks will fly by as fast as possible.

    Right now, I’m waiting for a call/calls from schools and from kindergarden centres. :) The wait was worth-while the last time I tried. I got accepted by Mps & yck PAP as a relief teacher and I’ve got two hardworking little students for tuition. ^^ Alhamdullilah…all the resume-writing, the calls and definitely patience paid off. Hopefully May is just as nice as April. I really hope so.

    Hmm but while waiting, I guess I do have to occupy my time somehow. Esp Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. 7-8pm: The two of us :D, 9-10pm: The In-Laws, 10-12pm: American Idol, finish up on another story book, back to baking, about time to take my driving licence -.-“, buy the cardigan at NEX :) - although i might be going there alone this time :(, and some other things I better think of soon. :) maybe i should slot some jogging time in between. -.- not maintaining my BMI at all, lol.

    May the month of May be a fruitful one, not just for me but for everyone else too. :)

  3. Summer break

    Life’s a joy when there’s a right amount of work and a right amount of spare time. :)

  4. I want a lock & key journal.

    Skylar Grey’s love the way you lie is amazingggg. :) i lovelovelove songs like these; just the voice and the lyrics with no hard & obstructive background music. wish there’s some device to help me filter out these kind of songs from the net. ^^

    the A levels were long gone. the results weren’t that good. :( no point listing down all my regrets, cause whats done is done right? now i just have to look forward for the future, hope that they’ll see how much effort i’ve put into the applications and pray that i’ll be the lucky few to get in. :’)

  5. Rejections

    It’s really too depressing. I’ve applied to become a daycare centre relief teacher but my email has not been replied. I’ve applied to become a tutor, but to no avail. I’ve applied to become a librarian, but they’re taking too long to call me back. :( I’ve applied to become a relief teacher, but they said there are no vacancies @ the moment. :( I’ve got job offers but they’re all for cashier positions & my parents have doubts about that cause the responsibility is too great. $$/- but if all else fails, then probably i’ll try to pursuade them again. My dad tried to apply for me a job @ SGH but they’re fully staffed, whereas my mum tried to find me a job @ temasek poly but they’re fully staffed too. Rejections over rejections; pretty much saddening. But that’s life…I’m gonna keep trying.

  7. A lot like love. <:’D
