Yesterday was a great day! I finally managed to go back to my secondary school to visit the wonderful teachers. I actually missed teachers day this year! Due to sudden change of the day for teachers day, i missed it all!!! I hope my primary school teachers are still going to remember me when i get back next year. My secondary teachers all looked sooooooo shacked!! They all have wrinkles at their eye areas, all thinner, all have this really tired face. They smiled widely when they saw us, some immediately greeted us, some simply grinned and told us we changed a lot and asked "so who are actually?". LOL!! Though some can't recognize us exactly, they do remember that there's a student like that. One of the funny moments was that 1 teacher really can't remember me at all!! 1 thought she have never seen me before. So i showed them a photograph taken when i was still in school, and they asked me which one in the photo is me. Hahahahaha. I didn't know i looked so different then. We then went to eat the canteen food!! Taste good!!! (HAHA i must be mad to find school food tasty) But it's been some time since i ate those, it somehow became comfort food. And my friend actually paid for me so it became even better =P I managed to find all the teachers that i wanted to except one as she was ill and went home early, and managed to give away all the packets of ferrero rochers i packed, which was something really nice to do. =D It's so good to see them again! People always criticize Hong Kah being a lousy school. But it's actually a place filled with dedicated teachers who spend lots of time on every single student, giving them all the extra help they need.
We spent like over 3 hours there, just walking around looking for the teachers, giving them gifts, and chatting with them. Many things changed after we left, the principal is in the midst of reforming the school. I don't know if this is actually something good or bad, as Hong Kah finally have a big step forward in the soccer, something we does best, but many other values that made the school such a wonderful place for every individual to pursue their interests have either disappeared or are disappearing.
After the trip to school we went bugis shopping!! I totally shopped super fast yesterday! Within about an hour, i bought 2 dresses, some colourful socks, and 2 necklaces, and was tired enough to head home, slump in a corner, eat my dinner, bathe and just sleep. Zzzzz
school food!! (Jap food & xtras: black pepper chicken over rice with extra saba fish, chicken floss sushi, lots of chicken chop in a packet, and that purple yogurt drink is mine(something which i use to drink a lot in school)) =D

It's the second day of module balloting. I am just sitting at home, wondering what i've just got myself into. We can make as many amendments as we like before the closing tomorrow, just that they only provide the things we are going to study under the module description. Happy reading, close my eyes and pick. Not like I will be able to make an informed decision with the module description provided. Everything look great at when described. The way they assure you of the great culture, help, experience, places etc etc that you are going to get if you pick that. But before i got blown away with all the amazingness, thankfully i remembered the essentials that they missed out. The marking format. Some modules just have the craziest scoring methods cooked up by the evil lecturers. They give you the lowest percentage on hell projects they throw at you, expecting us to put in lots of effort for the mind blowing effect. They then give you a little higher than average percentage for things like class participation. They may scatter the percentage all over the place, making tutorials as important as testS, resulting in high anxiety level, extreme heavy work load, and near impossible to do well for everything and get a good grade in other words. Seriously, i should have just hang out during the balloting period.

♥ Amazing People Whom You Wish You've Never Met
My excess energy are barely keeping in. Being stuck at home or constantly meeting the same type few people just makes me feel so restless!!!! There's like a thousand and one things to do, so keen to meet and make new friends, but yet being kind of stuck in my current position!! I really wanna meet new people. People who are actually ok start talking and make new friends too, instead of just staring at me like im some sort of freak when i try to start a conversation. I know I don't know who you are, but that is the point rite!? Meeting new people!! Sometime's people start to judge me because i may not always stick to the friends i've known, but mix with others whom I just got to know. I find it fun, having a change of scene and enjoying the company of different types of people. Yet so many think i'm weird! Like im not enough of a friend, or with the new people, they think im weird too as they don't really know me but i keep trying to join in. What the hell!!! And people who keep criticizing me for being inactive, they themselves don't move! Whenever i try to get them out and enjoy the sun, they start to tell me how they will like to stay home and play super mario instead. Have fun idiot, i don't ever feel like asking you to hang out again. My easy to hang out with friend is currently overseas and im sooooooooooooo bored!!! I don't know why my other easy to hang out with friends are so efficient in looking for jobs when im still unemployed, and have gave up to looking for tuition assignments instead. As for my friends who are totally obsessed with their boyfriends or girlfriends, well, you can expect what they are doing everyday. Sometimes i really envy those people who are in other schools and have totally different school cultures, meeting people who are willing to mix and share, and enjoying their school life together!!! When they hear the current situation the people in my school are facing, it was like some amazing story which they can't comprehend how people who end up here are all so, oh my god nasty people. The way they like to backstab you, laugh at your misfortunes right in your face and leaving you just there with your horrible situation, give you crap for for projects, and the most amazing thing, suddenly turn blind when you post something regarding the projects onto the page specially set up by them for the projects on facebook. They can be chatting, commenting, posting endless stuff, and the moment you post something of project, they all disappeared. Have you seen the post of the important thing to take note in the project? Try asking, and amazingly no one have seen it, and facebook suddenly fails to have notifications. So try specifically asking them to take a look at the important discussions, and that may take a few days to process. -.- You know what's more amazing? This happens regardless what class or course you in. I think we are having a serious problem...

Today is results day! Where my very nice school provides the service of sending the results as an sms directly to ur phone. They also send it early in the morning, so that you will be able to see your the results the moment u wake from ur slumber. Not something pleasant... Hearing my phone vibrating this morning, i wasn't able to continue sleeping. I didn't do well, but i made it though. Time for contingency plan... >.<

I am STILL UNEMPLOYED. And about 100% chance i am not going to be employed this holiday. Unless there's some great miracle that the schools are going to call me for relief teaching at the period of time when no one i know gets hired for relief teaching(it's just not that part of the year). Perhaps if i'm not so picky, i might get to teach tuition. But right now, it's just horrid. With no income, i can't go shopping, i can't dye my hair at a salon, i can't keep going out and eating good food. I can stay at home. Just that my mental isn't going to be that happy with me after a couple of days of household chores and never ending korean dramas that i use to spend my time.I WANNA WORK!!!!!
