Watching birds..

i have a very interesting friend. a friend who knows almost everything about birds. (he can even tell whether a bird is horny or not by just looking at it!) we call him the 'bird'man. :D he even has a website http://www.geocities.com/zoothera

and today, i went to the botanical gardens with him to see this particular bird (pita bird). we were literally lying on the road to get the bird's pics. it was an interesting experience for me though. haha :D. i took some pics of the birds as well. 

after that, we went to dynamics (dyslexia centre) but it was closed. that was y i went there in the first place. haiya. now i have to finish at least one of the essays.

excellent weekend!!

i went to sentosa the other day. at last, i had the chance to go to the underwaterworld! :D well, i feel that the ticket is over-priced. Underwaterworld was not up to my expectation. the glass tunnel was rather short. no t-eyed sharks. sad. anyway, i realised that sailors might have mistaken mermaid for dugong. who knows. maybe. if it is the really the case, then merlion should be dugolion!!! hehe :P

going to a girls' school.....

i'm posted to St. Anthony Canoissan secondary school... my friend said it is a mixed school. so i was fine. but then, i found out that it is an all girls' school, i was shocked. i have never been to a unisex school b4. no prior experience. i'm quite nervous. though the school is very near to my place (about 10 to 15 mins walk), i can't play football with my students. how can i play footy with girls????? and they are girls... against my ethics, man!!!

however, for footy part, i have met a new group to play. they are Jason's church mateys. cool!! at least, i'm starting to play football on a regular basis...

all da best to myself and the school. let's see what happens.....

My birthday!!!

well, today at edu psycho ll class, i was asked to lead a discussion after a video. it was a punishment for me as i stroll in late for class (i had class before that and had to rush to canteen to get a cup of coffee). so i took the notes from the video. i actually did.

after the video, the lecturer asked me to lead the discussion. as i was discussing the topic with my classmates, suddenly, Michael, a very good friend of mine, entered the class with a cake!! omg, only then i realised that even my lecturer was playing prank on me. :D 

my classmates sang the birthday song. both cheryl n i cut the cake since cheryl's birthday is on Monday!! (CNY kid). after the class, we enjoyed the cake and went to NYNY for lunch. then i headed to chinatown for my dinner with my ex-NUS friends. what a day......

Thank you very much people!!!

my ex-NUS friends...

Barack Obama!

Obama has taken over the office. I'm very excited. I'm really looking forward to his new policies and strategies to handle the world economic crisis as well as Iraq and Gaza war. 

well, when the whole world is looking at US, i wonder what happened in Singapore. Last time, everyone who was leaving Singapore had to undergo thumbprint scan. No exception (from young to old). Simply coz Mas Selamat was at large. Well, i just realized, people leaving singapore now dun need to have their thumbs scanned at the checkpoint. why???? i dun think Mas Selamat was captured by the local force. do u? Well, whether or not Mas Selamat is hiding in Singapore is still debatable. let's see what happens next!!!

Sungei Buloh........ again.....

o-levels....

tomorrow, o-level results will be out!! my first batch of students will be receiving their results tomorrow. i'm nervous to even think about it. the results will be out at 2pm. hopefully they'll do well. 

i had to go back to jb a few days ago. i had to rush and this old officer at the immigration stopped me. simply coz i din have the re-entry permit stamped on my passport. i went to ICA the other day and i brought everything they gave. and the old guy was in fact rude to me. asking me as if i have never been to singapore. i din wanna argue coz i realised he was not worth a word. actually, the system has changed. from the first of Jan. CHANGED!!! according to another officer, an email regarding the change has been sent to every officer. well, i wonder whether he checks his mail often. he delayed me. coz of him i was almost an hour late. ganja la. changing the system without prior notice. ganja. well, being in singapore, i'm not surprised!!!

the train was crowded on my way back. i had to stand. at this station, not sure where, an old lady boarded the train. there are priority seats for golden citizens, rite. there was this lousy young guy sitting on the seat. the old lady entered and he din even stand up and give the seat to her! believe it or not, the old lady was standing all the way till the train reached her destination. well, this guy is not old, i dun think he's pregnant, so y in the blue hell was he sitting when the seat is reserved for those people. sigh.... that concluded the day for me. frustrating day....

first sunday of the year!!

happy first sunday of the year!! well, i came to know that my 8.30am class tomorrow is cancelled. haha :D is there a better way to start the first Sunday of the year??? :D

i exercised this morning. must make sure that i exercise regularly. coz i need to get back my stamina. since i'm no longer playing football, i need to do something to get back my stamina. and be healthy at the same time. new resolution, i guess! 

going back to school tom. 2.30pm class. but i'll have to go earlier to finish up some of my work. well, that's for tomoro! today, i'm still wondering what to do....

2009...

yeah... happy new year!!! life's getting better but the world's economy is getting worse. sigh.... anyway, before stating any resolution for this year, let's see what have i accomplished last year!

i have gained 3 kgs (my hope was to gain 5kgs last year). will try to gain another 2 this year!

other than that, life was simple. nothing special except for the month of december. spent the whole month at home with my parents. went to Taiping to meet Vino once in a while. well, that's y i gained 3 kgs. haha :D

i have a bad news. i might not be posted back to Chong Boon. the probability is quite high. almost 90%. too bad but what to do. anyway, once a chong boonite, always a chong boonite. Chong Boon and its staff n students will always have a special place in my heart! all the best!
