Miri Parade 20052005

Hehe...I dont really want to go as I know there will surely be traffic jam. But when Jeng and Elsie called, I just had to go. So i got Dad to send me to Boulevard. Then, I used Elsie's car to go to the parade.

Together we watched the parade in front of the courthouse. Then, we walked to Kingwood Inn area 'cause we were going to meet Esther there. Along the way, we anticiapted to see stco band. Whe we finally see it, we are so excited. Then, we also saw Harwinder aka Veena. She was with the Sikh assocation, i think. We had to shout her name so many times to get her attention. Then, continue to watch the whole parade.

The watching gets me really excited. I feel so proud of Miri. all of a sudden. I want to join in the walking also. Feel so proud of my students. :p

GO MIRI!

City of Values

Last night, I went to this talk about city of values. Dr Roger Cole is the speaker.

My boss bought the tickets and then let us, the employees, to go and listen to this talk. According to him, it is a good talk. No one really want to go. I just took the ticket and I had the premonition that I will forget about it when i go and watch it.

Believe it or not? I really did forget that I need to go to the talk. Fortunately, I told jinnwei the day before about it and he reminded me to go. So i rushed to shower and get ready at 6.50pm and sped to Pustaka. Arriving at 7.05pm, I realised that I was still early. Sheesh....

I didnt sit with my colleagues. Instead, I sat with my former colleagues, the substitute teachers. During the talk, while I was trying to interpret what the speaker is talking about, I wrote notes to chat with YikTing.

I am not interested in meditation type of things. So, basically, the speaker was talking about peace and happiness in oneself. the speaker is so long-winded. During the Q&A session, only one question was asked and he answered it in half an hour time when all he was trying to say was yes. I dont really get the whole thing. I think the topic for the talk is inappropriate. It should be something like 'Discover yourself through meditation.' In fact, I think that the YB's speech was more related to the topic, City Of Values. :P

Finally, we even had a meditation session. :0

After the talk, I went to lim-teh with my former colleagues. Kind of weird for I dont really know them. They felt strange to me.

I went home at around 11pm while they went for Karaoke at Rex-Box

Time Flies....20.05.2005....20052005

Whoa!

so fast...one week have passed.

Firstly, i have quit teaching for one week. feeling not too bad. i am ok with my job. i am doing well with my assignments.

Secondly, Miri is now no more a town but a city. MPM is now MBM ( Majlis Bandaraya Miri).

Honesty, I feel good about my job. i am thinking that i am being ignorant of any office politic if there is even any. I am enjoying my life. Miri, i feel has not changed much. City or no city. it is the same. unless there is going to be huge changes otherwise...miri is still miri. am i being negative?

This morning, i work although it is a holiday today. my senior mentioned that it is up to me to work or not to work on holidays. but i am thinking for more leave in the future sake. i must owrk overtime. i dun want to sit in the office with nothing much to do when it is no longer peak season. horror!

Meeting of the Spare Tyres

On Friday night, I went out to Atmosphere Cafe to meet two old frens of mine, Jeng and Esther. I havent seen Esther for a very very long time. Probably for nearly ten years o. We chatted about old times and recent news. It feels good to be able to meet old friends and chat with each other.
Then, because there is a live band at the cafe, we left as there is no way we can chat in peace. We went to Seahorse to have some supper and more chatting.the night ended at around 12 midnight.

Spare tyre...not the body fat type of spare tyre. It is the spare tyre that guys will look for when they just broke up with someone or have problem with their partner. This kind of spare tyre will usually unaware of it and fell into the trap. Jeng, Esther and I have the same problem. We are ppl's spare tyres.

Why do we have to be ppl's spare tyres?

Why cant we have someone to love and care for us, for real?

Facial Treatment Experience

On Thursday, I went to Opi De Beaute with Yik Ting. We planned to get a facial treatment. I wanted to get one so that I will not be covered with blackheads and pimples during my graduation. my blackheads problem get worse when I began teaching. Anyway, the price for a treatment is mind-boggling. Pls keep this a secret from the adults especially grandma. Dun wnt her to feel that I am spending too much. But we decided to do it anyway so we made an appointment for Saturday night.

Oh! there is a difference between facial treatment and basic facial. It is recommended one to do facial treatment for the first time and then basic facial for maintainance. This is because treatment can more efficiently remove the dead skin cells and have more effective exfoliator and mask to make skin cleaner. But facial treatment is very tasking on the skin so can onyl be done once in a long while. Basic treatment is..well...basic. It is to do the same job but less tasking on the skin. Maintainance only need to be done every three to four weeks.

On Saturday evening, 525pm, Yik Ting and i presented ourselves at Opi De Beaute. We changed into the gown provided and the treatment started. The whole process took us 2 hours. There are cleansing, exfoliating, blackhead removal, mask, eyebrow trimming and something that helps to improve bloodflow on the face. My blackhead is a lot o. More than the time we do the egg mask as she take care of the whole face. Scary. I still have a few left though. She said the blackheads are too stubborn and i need to moisturise my face so that the blackhead will soften and then can remove lo.

The whole experience is relaxing. I feel so tired and sleepy after that. Maybe too relaxing already. Hehe...

I am planning to have another session before the graduation ceremony but not treatment la. basic facial wash so that it will be more complete.

What have happen to me?

When I was in school, I don't really have much friends.

When I was in university, I have even less friends.

When I was in school, I am always at home.

When I was in university, I started to have some social life.

Now, I am working. I have a different social life with different friends than my university's social life.

Now, I experienced more of the so-called normal social life.


But...

Why do I feel even more lonely?

Why do I feel unmotivated?


my dearests...I think I am suffering of ...gee...i forgot what is it called...hmm...loneliness? desperation? no..not right...what is the word...hmm..i can't remember...in chinese, 'you yu chen'
Each time I try to cheer up but I can't seems to do that. I feel like nothing will cheer me up including food. So, i guess i wouldnt't become fatter.


What has happen to me?

Cleaning My Eyes

I thought it will be boring to watch Lords of the Ring: Return of the King over and over again.
I thought I will not cry since i have watch it once and twice and thrice and so on.


Apparently, I am not entirely correct. Some parts are really boring me. But some parts still can make me cry so I cant blame Selene for making me cry...

I just watch the ending part of LOTR: Return of the King and i cried a bucket over it. And this is like the fourth time,maybe, I watch that part of the movie. Each time I cry non-stop over the same scenes. Gosh...

Sense Of Helplessness

hmm...yupe...helplessness....

Each time grandma is not feeling well, i don't know what to do.

someone, teach me what to do...

My Complicated Relationship With G

Maybe it is not that complicated. Just troublesome. Never know that a student can be this attached to me.

A friend of mine advised me to get my relationship with G clear. Otherwise, it is very troublesome.

Not only that I have gotten a soft toy puppy from him, I have also went out with him twice. Not alone with him though. But with someone else too.

I promised myself that I will cut off the attachement with G as soon as I quit teaching and I move into the hectic life of accounts apprentice. yes, i will do that.

My Hectic Yet Relaxing Week: Wednesday

I don't think that I will go to Chung Hua today for the Band Music Camp Graduation cum Mini Concert. But, I am the invited guest. Hmm...So, I guess I have to go and so I did with Aunty Nora. Immediately after I arrived, I saw G's mum. Dismay in my heart. Why does it have to be me?!! Apparently, she is kind of lost. So, I have to be her guide. She offered to ask for vacancy at some of the audit firms that she knows of. I am not putting much hope in this though. She commented that I sometimes dressed too young and I should not dress young when I go for job interview. Hmm...Her husband and her told me that when we first met. Anyways, she left before she could see her son play and I sat alone enjoying the whole concert.

Hmm....The first thing that puzzled me is that how do the band practise so many songs without me knowing? The only explanation is that they have been practising it separately and finally, on the morning of the mini concert, thye come together to do it together. Second thing is that why isnt Cikgu Janette at the concert? She is either hiding herself or she doesnt even turn up for the ocncert at all. If it is the second explanation, Whoa! I am surprised at the dedication of stco teachers...impressed...

My Hectic Yet Relaxing Week: Tuesday

Second day is much better than the first day. I spent my time sitting in the school hall marking the essays of Form One. Weird...I find it much easier to mark Form One essays than Form Two essays. Anyway, I feel much better about the whole situation of taking care of students. Apparently, D, whom I felt that I have disappointed once, have forgiven me and that makes me feel so much better. Oh! I found this out on Monday. Today, when I was there to see the students going home, they are playing games. I brought Amanda along with me. G gave me a surprise: a soft toy puppy. I am surprised. Hmmm...

P/S: The soft toy puppy is kind of dusty. So, after consultation with some soft toy expert of Wong family, I wash the soft toy puppy.

My Hectic Yet Relaxing Week: Monday

Although I have complained earlier about me having to take care of the students half day for another teacher, it has ended well. I really felt that I have nothing to do. The only thing that is interesting on that day is how i realised that I have such a big mouth. My big mistake. I told G that I will give G a surprise the day before. Unfortunately, G doesnt consider me showing up at Chung Hua as a surprise so G was really unhappy. So, I cracked my brain to think of something that will measure up to G's level of surprise. Hmm...so there is it...my few-years old christmas bear that I never find of any use...put together with the simple chinese charm that i made a few years ago which i put on the shelf to collect dust...wrapped both in envelope style...safely secured with six staples...Then, I get G's friend to tell me which is G's bag as there are, well, almost three hundred bagpacks in that aircond hall of Chung Hua. Secretly, I placed G's surprise in his bag. After that, i just enjoyed the angry/unsatisfied look on G's face. After a few minutes there, I realised that there is nothing to do so I went home planning to come back again when it is almost time for the students to go home. As I was neopet-ting (a new term i learn from lynnx today), I received a sms from G that he has found his surprise. When I went back to see all the students go home, I also sent G home together with his drum, which I have forgetten the exact name of it, and a bass drum. What is a bass drum? It is that huge drum that usually a big guy will carry in a band. That ends my Monday.

I am tired

Yeah! Holidays time!

Boo! I still have to work....essays to mark...all five classes...strenuous....tiring...

Not only that, I have to go and watch over the school band at Chung Hwa having their very first music camp in Miri. I was cheated to do extra shift...but I am ok with it...Wish that Naga (the GERKO teacher) has not aimed me but he did and he achieved his purpose while I have to suffer....

Doing nothing and doing something...which is better? Doing something...Doing nothing is a torture if u are outside ur home. Because doing nothing at home is a privilege that u can only enjoy at home...urgh! I have another day of watching to do...URGH!!

One Night Out

Friday night...
I dun like to go out alone...I find it too depressing...I need to find ppl to accompany to shop around and tat person is certainly NOT jinnwei...He is too not my type of person i want to shop with...

Firstly...I have a student whom i have been teaching since last year...in total, I have been his teacher for three months...Whoa! that's long...haha...Anyway, only recently he has become quite close to me...I am sure all of you will ask me to not to get too close with him...I will...trust me...but not in a short time...This boy is really sensitive...His family spoiled him but at the same time, they have also let him to take care of himself...Thus causing him to feel that his parents does not care of him....Since he has treated me as a close friend fo his, I will need to take time to put him off slowly...so that he will not be hurt...Guess what? He is the run-away-from-home prone. So have to be really careful dealing with him....

So...anyway....i have went out with him and his neighbour on friday night. We went to play bowling...something i have not done for years...The bowling alley has changed some of its things...the pins, the shoes...I strike once...Then, we also play games in the arcade....There is this game that made me realise that my hands and eyes coordination has problems...Urgh!... Have some fun anyway...

Not a bad friday night after all...But i think i am more of the type of people who sit at the nice expensive cafe drinking coffee instead of the ppl who hang around arcade...Does this means I have grown more mature?
