Arrgh I'm so terribly sleepy.
Today they were retiling the wall of Mum's bathroom and mine. Dust is EVERYWHERE =( even after mopping the floor and changing the bedsheets and all. Ugh. Let me ask you, how am I supposed to get clean if the dustiest place of all is the bathroom? Gah.
Met MichelleZ at Jurong Point for dinner (but neither of us ate dinner, LOL) it really is a lot bigger now and everything! So glad we had a chance to catch up =)
Fairfield was fun today. I
love teachers who go on course on a day they scheduled a test for. Just give out the papers, watch to make sure no one cheats (don't even have to do this for the last few tests I've given, since you can't exactly cheat on essay writing), read your book. Yay!
Even the normal acad class was so nice and quiet for a while. Although they were relatively quiet even after I'd collected the papers. Maybe it's just fairfield. Queenstown's express class was twice as noisy, bleargh.
Or maybe I handled them better. Haha. Nah, don't think so. It's just a nice class.
Met Daniel (not my brother) at FMSS today. I walked by him super a lot of times HAHA cos I was trying to figure out if he was a relief teacher or not. Well okay, actually I was looking for the other relief teacher who had walked into school in front of me that day. Didn't see her, unfortunately. But anyway when I finally finished my book with a period of free time to go, I plucked up the courage to say hi. It was nice talking to him! He totally doesn't look like he's come out of NS, though, bleargh. He was teaching Chinese! Lol. Good luck to him - I've had all I can manage at ACSpri already.
Speaking of ACSpri, I really miss the kids there! =( Daniel Peh and David Lim and Darren and Mark Lim and Aaron and Scott and Andre Quah and Foo Jia and ooohwhat'shisnamestartswithM and yeah just all of them! And I miss Shalom and arrrghforgothername and Shabana! =(
Oh but New Town too =( the one I miss most there is Alan (2B, I think). Never seen such an intelligent and not mischievious yet disruptive kid before. Funny that it's him I miss the most. Then there's the nice teacher who sits next to Madam Balu, and there's Azirah, and the girls from the p4 class with whom I made paper stars and flowers til I was convinced we were the cause of deforestation in SEA...
Haha I just plowed through my address book but I can't find the name of the other RT whose name I forgot at ACSpri. =(
Still sleepy, but less so. I want to sms, but I'm not going to, for so many good reasons. Not the least of which is for fear of embarrassing myself by saying weird things in my sleep. And then wasting my precious smses (got fried again yesterday, the bill came and Mum was horrified) by sms-ing when asleep...
Lol.
Miss ACSpri =/

I know you, I walked with you
Once upon a dream
I know you the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam Yes, I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem But if I know you, I know what you'll do You'll love me at once the way you did once upon a dream Funny how dreams die as we get older. Haha.
No calls again today. Was as haiwei would say, "rather bored." Or, as mich would say, "bored to death." So anyway, around 9pm I had this impulse to watch Disney's
Sleeping Beauty. So here I am now, waiting for part 2 to load (darn thing is awfully slow).
It's the part where she meets her prince. He suddenly joins in and dances with her. And she acts so young and inexperienced it's almost painful to watch. But then he says he's met her too, once upon a dream (which is bullshit, he wouldn't know the song if he hadn't heard it a few minutes ago) and she gives in and they dance together.
And they twirl and spin about the grass to their own music, in perfect grace and harmony. And in that dance, they don't talk, which is dumb, because how are they supposed to really love each other if they don't
know each other?
And yet, in that dance, they fall in love. So I was just thinking, there's something special about dancing with someone. You feel the connection even when you're just dancing in a group, and even more so when it's a partner dance like a waltz or the chacha or something. There's something special about being held and moving in harmony. Something innately romantic about the dance...
Aurora and Phillip finish the dance. And they walk off holding hands, and stand atop a mountaintop cliff gazing into the beautiful scenery (Dom, remember your things-to-do-before-you-die list? remember the watch the sunset from a cliff one?). And then he asks her, "Who are you? What's your name?"
What's with it with all these princes not knowing the names of the girls they supposedly love with all their hearts? -.-

Wow. It's been a long time since I updated.
So anyway, it's been exciting and fun these past couple of weeks. Meeting up with the class (finally) for Anthony's good-bye dinner was definitely fun! Yay. Haha. Anthony, we'll miss you! =( Do update us yeah. Take care!
Then there was the meeting with the conrad people (JiaYi, Phillip and KeJian) - the people I met at my conrad attachment in dec 07. Can't believe it's been a year and a half! Wow. But yeah, it was fun seeing them all and talking to them all again. Haha. Phillip is as funny as ever. Jiayi as nice, and KeJian as.. interesting .. as I remember. Haha. I hope we'll cont to keep in touch.
AND THERE'S ViDA! VJ's Dance Alumni! Okay, so we're not really ViDA, I just made it up. But so fun! It was really exciting meeting and discussing what we'll do and stuff. And Wei-An and I am supposed to choreograph for the VJ 25th anniversary thing this june. Exciting =D yayy!
Also, I went to Fairfield Methodist Sec to relief teach last week. Met Deborah Chay there! Haha. So cute. It was really fun! But I think I left
The Curate's Awakening there =( Because when I came back I couldn't find it. ARrgh. So I gotta go back to check or something. Probably tomorrow, when I go with Mum to pick David from school.
Mel went back last fri. Gonna miss her =( Rawrrr

I'm so tired from relief teaching and tuition, but it IS fun I must admit. The kids are so cute. They're totally worth it. Sometime I just wish I was staying for a while, instead of just reliefing for the day. Then I'd have a chance to really make an impact in someone's life.
Maybe teaching isn't such a bad idea after all.
