a potful of gummy worms.
People tell me to occupy myself with things, but I don’t even have to do that. Things seem to occupy me. I’ve been so unbelievably busy with work, assignments and my upcoming mid-terms that I barely have time to sleep. Almost everyday I come home feeling so tired but satisfied with my day. And then I just slouch in front of the TV with my textbook in my lap before I drift off to bed.

What happened during Valentine's...
Valentine’s Day has passed, and just like any other typical day, I woke up and dragged myself to work. Work has been a lot more relaxing lately, especially since I’m slowly getting hold of all the classes as well as counter work. I really do enjoy teaching, and seeing little kids tumble around being silly and oh-so-adorable can really make my day :)
So it was with this happy mood that...
why do i put myself through this. why. why. why...
Sometimes I tell myself that this is all just a dream. I tell myself that this is just a big joke, a hugeass prank, a build-up to a terrific surprise. It feels really good to be able to tell yourself that, until you realize that you’re being unrealistically stupid, and then the tears start to fall.
niconme asked: Hey! I hope Gymboree training is going well for you :) I've been teaching for almost 2 years now - and TBH the toughest part of the job is the first 3 months! After that, you literally glide through the rest. Tough it out! You can do it :)

I typed “askew” in the Google search box and the page really did tilt over a little bit! That completed my day :)
But on another note, the fact that a Google page turn can make my day makes me wonder what am I doing with my life. I have always been a very easy person to please. If I am ever sad, just tell me some random joke or change the topic & I will pop right back to normal...

inner memories
You’d think that after enduring disappointment for countless times, I would have learnt how to give up. I guess being stubborn is just one of the annoying qualities about me. I hate that low self-esteemed feeling after not being able to get what I want, but oddly enough, my heart hasn’t decided to give up yet, even though my brain tells me I probably should.
I think friends who know...

roses & thorns
i think a lot of people have forgotten the meaning of sacrifice. People always say things like “do you know how much i gave up just to do thisthisthis or thatthatthat”, in order to gain acknowledgement of the magnitude of the task they have performed. They might have said it in anger, or disappointment, or when they just simply cannot hold it in any longer. I think true sacrifice comes...

defying gravity
I am not a huge avid fan of musicals, but I do pride myself on loving the art of acts of singing, dancing and acting all at the same time. And so, this week, when I went down to Singapore for CNY, I was wonderfully ecstatic at being able to sit down and enjoy a (very expensive) famous musical :)
To be honest, the seats weren’t the best as we bought the cheapest tickets available (boh lui!),...

This is the 2nd week of my part-time job at Gymboree, and I have to say, it gets less stressful now that I’ve already taught a class all by myself and have gone through the embarrassing process of singing loudly & doing bear growls in front of kids and their parents. All I can say is, kids are great, & they’re bloody adorable :)
Chinese New Year is coming, and this year I am...

So today marked the end of the first week of my part-time job at Gymboree Tropicana City Mall. So far I’ve sat in all 3 types of classes (Play, Music & Arts) and the manager Jessica thinks I’m ready to teach a Level 5 all by myself, which of course, is really nerve-wrecking to think about.
Basically, a Play class would be held out in the open for everybody to see. And what you...

do you know what i don’t like? hugs. what do hugs even symbolize? a friendly hug, a pity hug, a happy hug, a good-to-see-you hug, a i-love-you-and-never-wanna-let-you-go hug?
but at the same time, i love hugs, because they make me feel safe & warm & nice. i contradict myself.

craving for ice-cream.
A friend just told me that I’ve been rather mean and sarcastic to another friend lately. Is that true? If so, that really wasn’t my intention. I suppose I’ve been a bit tired of having the people around me that I’m beginning to lose my manners towards other people. But that’s no excuse. And it’s not that I don’t love my friends around me, I do. We all just...
I wonder how much I mean to you.

in an oven.
I’m feeling overly optimistic. I just get this really strong feeling that something good is going to happen. I feel so happy that most of the time I have to tell myself to lower my expectations because I hate bad surprises.
So far my feelings have been pretty accurate, but this could be one of the times I am wrong. But omg please don’t let me be wrong. Let me be as right as the, um,...

we're working on that
Today I spent the day by myself. When I left the house it was empty except for my pets, and when I came home it was empty too (again, except for my pets). It was like living alone, and in a way it is rather peaceful, being able to walk around doing whatever you want.
I bought three Shakespeare books and watched a movie called The Beaver. It’s a story about a man who suffers from depression,...

They just stare up and me, but I think they understand me anyway :) It’s just that kind of warm silence that you need from people once in a while.
