It has been raining for the whole night..and whole morning.. swimming lessons have to be cancelled.. i changed mine to 330pm..but i guess it'll still be raining.. I don't really feel like teaching anyway.. always feel lazy on rainy days..

It's 8th Jan, 8th day of the new year.. i don't feel anything has changed.. just that i've made plans for the year 2006.. i'm going to earn more money..strange..but money is never enough.. $5k a month is still not enough for me.. when you have more, you'll want more..now i know what this statement finally means.. when i'm earning more, i've more liabilities.. i'm paying for my car, my petrol, my parking, my piano installment, my rent, my bills, my piano fees, my mom etc... still need to eat ok! ...and savings! So, need to earn more to feed my heavy expenses.. and to save $$$ to buy a house.. we found an ideal home.. wat's lacking now is money.............

Talking about expenses, i bought myself a black adidas jacket, and Gucci sunglasses yesterday..so damn happy! aimed for a pair of sunglasses for very long already...i've one addidas sunglasses already, but that's rather sporty...more for beach use, or when i coach swimming..i bought that when i was working as a lifeguard at sentosa many year 4 years ago... i need one that look more "fashionable", more for shopping use...ya, and when i drive my car...can't stand it when i drive in the afternoon or evening when the sunrays are damn strong! and my black addidas jacket! can't decided between the red and black.. darling says black looks more "normal" on me..so i bought the black one.. He bought himself a black levis shirt.. been searching for that for almost a month when he finally saw it at marina square... haha.. bought it right away of course... He bought "S" size.. he tried "M", he find the sleeves to long.. though i think it's normal..haha..nowadays, he like to show off his figure and muscles..the clothes he buy are reduced my a size...*keke*

OH! and we're gonna watch a kungfu musical next week... at esplanade..when to buy tickets yesterday.. actually it's $63 per person.. but we flashed our "still valid" student card and paid via OUB visa, it turned out to be $53 per pax! yeah! I just realised that i've this thing about taking photos with mascots..haha.. whenever i see mascot at road shows or event, i never fail to take photos with them... i think they're so cute... i took one with a pnk dinosaur when i went genting with darling..
This one is at Tampines Mall.. on the day that the Mountaineer who conquered Mount Everest is doing the underwater challenge.. Spider mand and Cat woma... Spider man is taking photo with another grouos of kids *argh*..see his hand on the left side? hmpH!

Going to Great World City to look at fishes... Dar says there's an exibition.. he loves fishes.. he even dreamt about a transparent fish last night.. saying that he can see thru the fish and see the eggs...not bones though, he said.. .silly.......

-Still raining-

I'm feeling so stone today... built up of fatique since wed when i stayed over at Yuling's place.. getting ready for her big day..ya, helping out with gate crashing..and most importantly, driving the sisters around.. well, 6 sister is total, all from NPCC.. expect me :) supposed to be Singyee, but she can't... so there's me :) haven't seen all of them for years... suddenly meet... like still got alot of rubbish to talk about *keke* Dar's mummy ask me to go and learn about the traditions.. and that scares me... i doubt my mom will bother so much.. haha~ my mom's character and mine is almost similar... we don't really mind about such stuff.. simple stuff like tea ceremony, not seeing each other the day before etc...is ok.. it's rather fun in fact! but other teeny weeny stuff are too overwhelming for me to handle...i can imagine how Yuling feels man.. keke.. then again Yuling's mom says hokkien not that fussy... luckily dar's parents and mine are hokkien *yeah*

Met up with 4F classmates yesterday..not ALL of them..but had a good time catching up with one another.. Like sharon..haven't seen her since graduation.. about 6 years already? we used to be close.. sucj a pity that we seldom keep in contact.. And Ivy, haha, also 6 years never see her.. well, she's the Emcee for that night.. she became prettier already...i guess, all the girls from PL changed...that's what she said too.. and Meiyin..i met up with her last year though.. but surprised that she got into SQ though *er hem* Joycelyn..is still the same... Joy is working at Mediacorp..i guess that's where alot of pple would like to go..it's reputable enough! she's doing fashion designing there...

I do hope to have more chances to meet up with everyone soon.. to chat! and gossip..haha..that's what girls usually do ya?

It'll be iris's bday next week.. going to her house on tues evening.. with germin, eileen and jasmin.. another catching up time! so happy! now..have to wonder what to get for her..

f.r.i.e.n.d.s

I can 'smell' christmas! Ii'm so excited..i bought myself a christmas tree...or rather, christmas plant..and darling helped me to decorate it! i put it on top of my piano..it's such a pretty thing! oh! i also decorate my car...it's so damn girly...but darling still dares to drive my car *keke*

I also attached Ernie near my steering wheel... at the windscreen wiper switch..ernie's hands, legs and mouth has magnet! so cute hor? darling made a story outta it...

1) This is Ernie
2) Ernie got shot!
3) Ernie's dead.
Silly! he did this while i was driving...argh~ anyway,i'm going to do my christmas shopping list, and buy christmas gifts by this weekend...cos christmas is just next weekend!

Jingles!

I've been going to the gym rather regularly...well, i hope this routine lasts *keke* i didn't know that i was entitled to free gym usage til last week, i called up Orchird Country Club and ask.. oh well, members are entitled to free usage,guest gotta pay $5.. i thought anyone who uses the gym hafta pay! i went to gym last friday..after recovering from body aches(have not been exercising for a long long time), i went to the gym again yesterday! and i'm going again in the evening! i feel good after exercising man.. i ran 3km and 'cycle' 3km.. did some weights.. i spent more time on cardio coz i wanna lose weight! after that then i'll tone up.. i realised that my appetite decreases(which is good), and i don't feel lethargic in the afternoons, which i usually do! I'm looking forward to the new me! haha..

My darling is worse.. he jogs 7.8km and swam dunno how many thousand laps that day...and i guess he also wanna tone up his body...coz he's belly is coming out again!

I'm hitting the gym again this evening, then pick darling up.. then have dinner.. and i'm definately gonna watch my Harry potter this weekend! then, the next movie would be Just like Heaven, followed Narnia..and i shall see what's new..

It's Maple time!

It's a very hot day today! Dar, his brother and I went to Toa Payoh Swimming Complex as VOLUNTEERy lifeguard for this event. It's organised by Boys Brigade Singapore, and it's purpose is to raise funds for Cambodians. Oh, forgot to mention...it's gonna be recorded in the Singapore book of records...for the most number of swimmers, swimming from 10am to 10pm! There were 2 female stuff from Singapore Book of Records to eye-witness the whole event.

I didn't know what was going on until 2 hours later.. one swimmer is supposed to swim one lap of the olympic pool, and when he/she reaches, she must touch the wall...and the next person jumps in.. swims one lap to the other side, touches the wall.. the next other person jumps in and continues the "relay" till 10pm! so, can you imagine how many pple came to swim?!

Well, reached there.. waited for the person in charge to give us our "CREW" t-shirt.. waited damn long.. and i even helped myself to the goodie bag...which is not "GOODY" at all loh.. it's just a teenage magazine and a pink towel... wat the.... I'm not teenage already leh.. read already, feel so bored! haha, but started to think back to my secondary school days.. so silly... life is so different now that i'm no longer a teenage..i'm a young adult! alright... then... to make things worse, this band called "Root Of AGONY"(4 malay guys that's not handsome at all) came to play and (obviously can't)SING a few songs(noises) for us... nobody clapped...hahah...damn funny... i bet i can sing and play better music than them.

haven't been a lifeguard for years.. well, just go and enjoy the event loh.. wanted to swim and be part of the relay! but...i never bring my swim suit... coz i don't intend to save anyone that day! haha~ you think i can still remember my CPR?... there are many weird swimmers... some glide thru the waters gracefully... some struggle thru the 50m.. some swam like they're drowning.. Dar even took of his t-shirt, waiting to jump in to rescue that person...haha.. there's young kids (5 years old), old man (70 plus), and even handicapped people.. well, it's an eye-opener... then again, i have to mention...the event will go on smoothly even WITHOUT the "Root of Agony"...which is indeed very agonising!

Went to Junction 8 with darling after that..went to repair his Sony Digi cam....spoilt :( if not can post photos of the event :( I bought myself 3 pairs of earring...or rather, ear studs...silver and round... and i put them on on the spot.. it was a butch who attended to me.. she helped me hold all the 6 ear studs, waited for me to put on one by one..haha.. i even suspect that she likes me... haha.. she ask me why i have so many ear holes...come to think of it, ya hor.. last time sec sch vain mah...pierce so many..now must waste money to keep them... and my earrings always gets missing.. 8 ear holes altogether.. means i spent $5 times 8 = $40 to pierce them last time.. i then dun wanna waste the money to let the holes close back... then we went to shop for carel's present...can't find...went to causeway point..bought her a pink billabong wallet....then went pasar malam...then home sweet home... legs damn tired.. Oh! bought a pair of rings at Bits and Pieces.. with a little design..and a "diamonte" in the middle...darling likes it leh..haha.. Dar bluffed her mom that both the rings cost $1300 altogether, and she nearly believed! ..so, you can imagine the rings' not bad huh! then waited for them to engrave the letters... we went to play with toys at the children department...damn fun.. saw so many carebears! oh.. and i saw this guess watch..i think it's damn cool! it's like a bracelet...it has a cover...open it up to see the clock face.. nice loh! i'm gonna eye on it unless i find a better one.. now i have to decide whether to buy my Gucci sunglasses or Guess watch (christmas present for myself) ..

Body's aching...went to the gym at orchird country club on friday.. gonna rest now.. til then!

...because i have alot of time to spend with my dar dar..and tmr,i'm going out with fanny..haha~ first time going out with her... well, i know she's gonna ask me to buy alot of things...we're going to shop, watch movie, go esplanade to find piano scores... and eat of course! i'm gonna budget my spendings to $150 tmr.. the most $200 :)

Dar bought me a Burberry's bag yesterday..haha.. why i haha? don't wanan say! *keke* it's pink :) Anyway, dar is sick... i just took his temperature 39.8! then i gave him panadol...then become 37.8.. later i go and take again.. maybe he don't need to go camp tmr...

Went Suntec today...to expo Malaysia tours.. we're going to genting! come to think of it, i haven't been there for many many years.. and this time, i'm gonna visit the casino! just turned 21 this year...so...shall blog my "winnings" when i'm back! leaving on 4th dec, coming back on 7th dec..

La casa is almost 3 storey high.. I pass by it every saturday and i see it getting taller and taller each week.. La casa is the place that Dar and I wanna buy...it'll be our dream condo.. $500K.. we're saving up.. every storey they build, we must save a thousand dollars. There are 12 stories and 5 buildings.. after they finished the construction, we should have $60K.. well, the downpayment's only 25K.. so far, we're a little behind the target.. coz we used some money for the trip... well, that means we're gonna save more next month..

I bought 3 black tops, 2 skirts, 2 bags this last week..oh no... i hope i dun buy anymore stuff tmr.. gonna buy 'practical' stuff.. like shoes(flat), jeans, foundation, eyebrow pencil, bday present for mikki, rachel and Gilbert, book mark for my 2006 organiser... hmm...think i could go on and on...

Watching My date with vampire 3.. so stupid the show, but i still watch.. silly shows entertains me *keke*

Few days ago, dar and i went jalan jalan.. whenever we see toy trains and its railway track, he will think of yuling..haha.. coz that time we went her place, her hubby told us about his railway track around his living room..*keke*

I kinda look forward to this week.. i feel that when i'm focused on what i wanna do, time passes very quickly..

ok, time to take dar's temperature again.. off.

OoOOoOh, it's a beautiful day!

I spend most mornings reflecting about what i want in life.. maybe not reflecting, just thinking... i usually do my admin and paper work in the mornings.. i'll work out my new schedule(it changes every week!), my income(it always increases!), my expenses(it always increases too!)...etc...

I'm quite ok with the live i'm living now.. with a rather good income for a 21 year old... my expenese are rather high though.. but it's ok.. i'm starting out earlier than most of my friends.. and i love my students... to a point where i don't think i can can ever give them up for my new piano studio in future..

Right now, i'll just continue whatever i'm doing, perhaps have another 5 more students...that's all.. my next aim is to buy a house with my dar dar.. it seems so far fetched...but i know... we're getting a step closer and closer to it.. we're saving for it......., i can "Smell" abit of the house already!

Never blog regularly coz so many things happened...i'm just plain lazy to type it all out.. actually, my life is quite mono.. well, when things are going smoothly, i complained of life being mono...when there's so many happenings, i complained life is unfair.. *crazy*

My student's practical exam results are out... 2 didn't make it... one stopped lesson for almost 4 months, and her mom wanted to have like last min lesson...well, of coz..that's not gonna help..
One is not musically inclined at all..i tried to help...but, she missed by 4 marks...well, i wrote an appeal to UK, hopefully she'll pass.. the rest of my students got a merit... so, it's not my fault that the students fail lah.. some just didn't have the flair for it.. i'm so sorry to say that..but that is it..

I wanna go on a diet! but i really have no motivation.. i need to control my food intake and exercise regularly.. if not take wedding photo not nice! :( Actually, it's not that i eat alot..but rather, i'm eating at irregular timing... i don't eat breakfast...i can skip lunch and eat only one meal a day at 5pm... and sometimes i eat lunch at 3pm, and dinner at 10pm... like yesterday... i had maggi mee at 11am, and dinner at 1015pm.. so now, i'm gonna prepare sandwiches and put them in my car! so whenever it's lunch time, i eat one.. when i feel like snacking, it's always healthy to much on bread...and when i've no time for dinner, i can eat while driving! *keke* i'm going NTUC to buy bread tonight! lalallallallaaa~

It's gonna rain again and my car is damn dirty.. my dar say my car is like a man's car.. so messy and dirty... His car is cleaner than mine *hee* not i dun wanna take care k...it rains everyday...if i wash my car, all my effort will be wasted...then again, i need to buy a mini vacumn to clean up the interior... yicks!

gotta bathe now.. will see dar dar at Swimming pool in the evening... might wanna go for a dip!
