Happie CNY!

i saw a picture of two love birds on the newspapers today..

wouldn't have gone to look if it wasn't for mom who asked if there really is such a thing as a lovebird.. or lovebirds. i thought it was just a term that's casually used by ppl to describe couples.. but i was so wrong! there really are lovebirds out there.. and they look so freaking toot, and cute!!! i can't stand it! LOL. they deserve to be made into squishy soft toyS!

aniwae, i felt so tempted to grab a couple of those birdies. but i remembered that i hate bird shit. haha. well, if i ever got a pair of lovebirds, i'd name the first one ah toot and the second one ah teet. was telling doodoo that i can nag at them when i'm home.

bee: "ah toot ah. why u so toot?".
and of course i shouldn't be biased and leave ah teet out.. so..
bee: "ah teet ah. don't bully ah toot ah!".

XD!

its a boring day today btw. i hardly went anywhere. why does everyone have their open house tomorrow (3rd day of CNY) instead of spreading it out over both the 2nd and 3rd day of CNY? the shops open on the 3rd! -.-... tmr's gonna be packed day~ why am i always on one the extremes? either utterly busy or utterly bored?

too little time, too many things on my mind.

i feel as if i've reached the crossroads again.

several questions flood my mind.. because i don't want to do something out of impulse, and live to regret it later on.

to work or to study first?
if i study first, what do i study?
if i work first, what do i work as?

do i become a waxing therapist? (the whole world gives me a one-word question for a response when i mention this.. "WHY?"). its something that i want to do just once in my entire lifetime, imo, its fun! its going to look funny on my resume if i decide to go back to teaching. LOL. but anyway, there's a bond and where bonds are concerned, i'm in a lose-lose situation. aniwae, waxing is one of the 5 things i'd like to learn - dancing, driving, knitting, baking and waxing.

do i work in a special needs setting? its cool: aircon, the people there are serious about what they do, the teacher to child ratio is 1:3 per session. if they ever send me for a course, it'll be an Adv. Dip., but i want a degree.

what about being a special needs officer and taking another diploma again =/ one that i'm not sure who else would recognise other than MOE/NIE itself.

well if i choose to study, then what do i do now? all the jobs currently offered are gonna tie me down for at least a year. its true that i haven't exactly started enjoying myself yet, and i wouldn't mind doing so, but i feel guilty taking an allowance without doing anything. well i must say i wouldn't deny at any point in time that studying is comfortable. where teaching is concerned, i think that experience counts - much more so than academics/theories. so if i do get a degree now, it'll probably be for the graduate title, which most people these days already have.

i'm afraid to step out and do the things i've never done before. but yet at the same time, i'm afraid of the chances that i have to let go.. and i'm afraid that opportunities missed may never come by again.

i can't believe i used to say so confidently and positively that life is full of opportunities.

the week after the end of school

it came across to me yesterday that after the 13th of February, 2007, my manicure date with the gang, i don't know when i'll be seeing them again =/

i can't remember what exactly it was.. but when i was walking around with doodoo, i said i wanted to tell my friends about somemthing tomorrow at school. then i realised, there's no more school tomorrow.

this week has been rather hectic.. been running around to collect testimonials, and having a great time with the gang at Chinatown. LOL! thurs and fri i was helping charlene n her mom out at a seminar. the food and the peeps were great.. and that includes the speaker, Dr Joel Muro - a really funny guy who definitely doesn't look 40! when sat came, i went with my mom for her Henna Treatment and had my eyebrows threaded. my eyes were filled with tears and i couldn't open them. sounds exaggerated i know, but i haven't been doing it in a long time. i used to do it only when my clique dragged me along (of course i was reluctant, cos i always felt like my eyebrows resembled those of a typical ah lian after that). sometimes its amazing how much of waxing, threading and shaving we girls put ourselves through - but the results are always worth the pain!

and i was so disappointed yesterday. after the henna thing mom and i went to this pastry shoppe that serves HUGE pineapple tarts (the size of golfballs!!). based on my memory, they weren't that big last year when i tried them while visiting during the CNY (then, i struggled to fit the whole thing into my mouth to see how big it was hehe! but now that i look at those that were waiting for collection, i'll need 3 bites at least - i tend to nibble at my food, thus the at least :X). but they were just what i loved : the melt in the mouth covering! i saved the number on the label of the pineapple tart bottle (the lady at the shop insisted that it be called a bottle and not a box -.-) and waited for an entire year to go down to the shop (i'm not sure why, but that was a stupid thing to do). when i got there, they stopped taking orders for the pineapple tarts and the lady was kinda aggressive in the way she spoke to us. that wasn't very nice considering its my first time there -.- well anyway, all we could do was to take orders for next year :X they told us if we want to we'd have to order before May/June comes.. cos some regulars have already started ordering in the hundreds! though the price for the tarts is somewhat more expensive than what you see elsewhere, one must remember that it is at least twice the size of a usual bengawan/primadeli one. (mom says its 3 times!! and it does look like it).

its S.U.N.D.A.Y.. the end of this week and a reminder to me that next week is coming. i'll be going down to the Autism Centre in Clementi, and honestly i don't know how to find the place... but i must! cos the lady was so nice, she said she'll allow me to observe a class first before i decide whether or not i want to be interviewed. she explained that it was only fair.. cos she didn't want me to get a cultural shock or something! i couldn't agree more :X my guess is the kids in there have moderate-severe autism. if it was so mild, they would already be in mainstream schools.

with regards to what i'm gonna say next, my friends have probably heard it at least aa 100 times before - no less. but i can't help but say it again and share it with my other friends: VDAY IS WAY TOO COMMERCIALISED! the set-meals are cheetah (cheater) "deals"! firstly, they restrict the choices you have for the main course. secondly. when u try to match the place/food to the price of it all, its never worth it. haha! thirdly, they always throw in a stalk of rose.. and i'm like.. "why on earth do i need that for?". so there you have it, i love good ol' places that stay true to what the restaurant really is instead of coming up with something just for the sake of V-Day (food does matter, but doesn't company always matter MORE?), still allow me to indulge in my favourite ala carte choices, or at least allow me to try out new ones instead of getting stuck with this set meal of uninteresting stuff and then leaving me with no space for better food. we need flexibility! LOL. not that i've ever been to such places for a restrictive set meal.. but these are the thoughts that go on every single time i see unimpressive v-day "deals" and those set meals turn me off for some reason or other. sounds like i care more about the food rather than the company, but like every other day, we just wanna be happy together.. so shouldn't v-day be like every other day in terms of the alacarteness if that is what makes me happy? (men are usually fine with anything as long as we're happy :P) :) celebrate love or whatever, but i think it doesn't always call for big hoohaa celebrations - it just depends on one's comfort level.

okay! i've nagged a hell lot here. its getting maddening. its jiahui's bday celebration today! =D f.o.o.d, c.a.k.e.s, f.r.i.e.n.d.s, t.r.iv.i.a!
