I'm absolutely bushed....had lunch with esther yeo before work today and then i had to OT..crap..and i couldn't get a cab for ages!! dunno where the hell all the taxi drivers are at 12 plus..so it's been a long tiring day. But i shan't complain further coz it could have been a lot worse. Anyways..gave myself an off tmr so i can shop before the gst is raised to 7% on monday..although i still think 7% isn't that high considering the vat in london is 17.5%!And sg has one of the lowest consumer tax rates in the world..who are we to complain?But anyhow..i might as well shop more while its still 5%. heh.
Although i'm feeling really tired now..i'm still in a lala sort of mood..heh. Everything has fallen into place and there's a nice snug and settled feeling...
I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away
But as I kneel to pray
I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon.
I picture you across the oceans
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change
It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all my tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I'm super shagged.....been working for the past 3 days 2pm to 11pm and i relief taught today..primary 1 class! haha my first time taking primary 1s and they're sooooo adorably cute. They keep coming up to give me things they've drawn(and i'm always in it) and keep raising their hands every minute to ask me to spell something. Next friday mabel's going on maternity leave..can't believe she's having kids already!so fast!! and i'm gonna cover her p5 class which i think is gonna be a big challenge....coz if i rmb correctly from last yr..the upper primary kids are damn malicious. :( I'd rather teach the p1s. And melissa who's still taking p4s was nice enough to save me my teachers' day gift from last yr! omg my heart was def warmed...didn't expect to receive anything for teachers' day and most of all, didn't expect her to save it for me..haha and she still said ' i knew you'll be back someday'. haha
It's been an extremely busy week..what with work and driving. And mambo was super eventful..and it was super qiao too meeting those 4 guys and discovering all the connections and after that when we were leaving, i found out that they're mostly our sailing seniors from jill and kaiyi's batch..super super qiao. Sg is too small. And it was good to meet ppl i haven't seen in ages like timi and quah. even though i hate mambo, i must say i had fun in the end...although i overslept the next morning and forgot to make an impt call..yikes.
I need cash to travel..there's just too many things i have to do now and too little time..my summer's gonna fly by just like that..i know it. My average day now goes like this..wake up at 12, leave by 1.30, work til 11, sleep at 2. After next week..it's gonna get crazier coz my korean lessons and proper not adhoc relief teaching will start. plus driving lessons..omg...i dunno how i'm gonna handle it. It's now raining quite heavily and i'm feeling super sleepy but there's still a lot of things i have to do by tonight..like continuing with my self-taught spanish lessons..i think all the stuff nelly and alex passed me are damn helpful..at least i can speak a tiny bit now. yay. n i can't wait to start with korean..heh. Got too many plans for this whole yr...something somewhere is bubbling

I'm in a funny sort of mood now..kind of feel unsettled and uneasy even though I've settled so many things today and planned my way through an eventful summer. Gonna start work tmr..hopefully that goes ok. If all goes well..i'll probably be too busy to breathe..which i kinda like actually coz deep down, i know i'm a workaholic. I have to always make sure my time is filled otherwise i feel so unaccomplished and unfufilled.
Having nothing to do when all your friends are working or away is really no joke. It means staying at home for hours til night comes and being the constant object of incessant nagging. So tmr i shall work. And i'm glad.
I do it on a whim, its rhyme without reason whatever comes to mind I'll pull it from thin air.
I've learned to improvise to fill my time I don't want to
live this life, no I don't want to live this life without reason.
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
I do it on a whim, with no motivation following this line and I don't know why,
but I've learned to capture time it's my redirection I don't want to livethis life,
no I don't want to live this life without reason
Never want to live without it, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason.
You want to work to spend to show.
You want to talk to smile to feel.
You want to run to thirst to drink.
You want to love to know it's real.
Never want to live without, never want to live,
I don't want to live without reason
I thought this would be easy but I guess I was wrong.

OMG. Everyone go watch Rain's 'I'm coming' mtv! It's his latest song. He is def the best dancer in korea/asia maybe in the whole world..and i dunno how he transformed into such hotness although i suspect its the hair and shades. There's not much singing but the cool dance moves more than make up for the song..afterall he's using this to break into the USA market. :).
Tmr's my last day in london :( til i come back in sept. But this last week has been really great so far although i'm totally broke..haha. I'm watching tokyo juliet at last but i must say its not that fantastic even though wuzun makes damn good eyecandy. Hai..but i think i'm over the crazy-about-wuzun phase..now i'm totally addicted to M.C The Max and his rock ballads..and getting y to translate everything for me haha. My korean has been improving bit by bit now. haha. I still don't wanna go home but since everyone else has either left or are on holiday and will prob leave soon, its time to go.
So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.'
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh Babe, I hate to go.
There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you

CRAP. couldn't extend my airticket coz all the flights are fully booked til 12th AUGUST. omg. Can't believe singapore is such a hot destination. So ya, i'm going home this saturday. And thats like really damn soon. Crap. Shouldn't have brought forward my airticket 3 times..haha feel so stupid.
Anyhow, this yr has certainly been damn eventful so far. Love my life now. Even though i couldn't get any internship this summer, i believe other windows will open and i will still learn a lot through other experiences..maybe even more than if i were to do an internship. So i shan't complain about it even though i know lots of ppl who have gotten internships(whether by their own merit or thru pulling strings). I'm gonna get a job or two and maybe travel a bit and then come back to london very early to travel a bit more.
I've packed up 3/4 of my stuff and my room is feeling kinda empty. But strangely, i realise that i can live with juz so few things. Why the hell did i bring so many clothes, shoes and other useless stuff over?? I'm def living in an age of excess. I have to make another trip to island gardens before i go to dump off a few more things that i thought i would need this week like my ricecooker and kettle and washing powder and little items in the kitchen..

In cascais..lovely beaches! :)
Lisbon..in alfama
On the rio duoro in porto
Typical steep road of portoI'm back from my trip! The whole holiday was juz fantastic..love portugal a lot! barcelona was kind of disappointing and only la ramblas was nice. I think porto was the best out of all the places we went..and it was nice making a new friend sunny in porto and she joined us for sightseeing on the boat and wine tour around porto..had so much fun. Now i am sunburnt even though we bought sunblock in lisbon at a rip-off price. Wasted money by going to faro for a day..but i wouldn't say we totally regretted it coz the beach was so pretty and there was a lovely pool and it was great being back in a tropical setting although the sea was too cold to swim in. I feel like we juz had a japanese honeymoon..haha coz everywhere we went, there were ppl/little children coming up to us 'ohaiyo ohaiyo, dozo..and giving us flowers'..haha esp in porto by the rio duoro. Took a ton of photos and i'm such a 'perfect' photographer..haha..quite thankful that my parents are liberal enough to let me go on this trip. :) Feel so blissful now..this holiday was really good for both of us..even though we dunno where this road will take us.
Now i'm feeling all alone in my hall. Everyone EVERYONE has left. Rachel, ting, fuisze, frank, eva(in spain), rosalind(in france), andrea, grace(moved house) and suddenly it feels a lot worse than when i came back earlier in easter break coz now i know that they will never move back here and soon i will be moving away for good too. Feel kind of sad and nostalgic..i really love staying at rosebery and making all these friends..and having all those late night chats and cooking stuff in the kitchen. Only ruoxin is here to keep me company but then she's leaving next sunday for cardiff..and if i'm extending my ticket, i'll really be alone here.
Tmr's gonna be a busy busy day. I have to go down to the airline office tmr morning and see if i can change my flight..i think i wanna stay until end june at least..don't wanna leave london. :(. And then in the afternoon, we're moving to our new house. So today I have to pack pack pack pack pack. :(. Hate packing. Hate moving. Although I can adjust easily to new environments, i still hate getting out of places which i have become so accustomed too but i know even if i stay here, its not gonna be the same anymore and moving is inevitable. :( Hopefully it'll be fun staying with so many ppl..and since our house is quite far from central, we'll be spending a lot of time together in our huge house.haha..i foresee a lot of mahjonging and poker.
YAY omg just found out that keljin is still here. yay. Now i have someone to have dinner with tonight. haha omg. i sound so pathetic.

We have a house at last! Although its damn far from sch, its in a pretty nice area and it has a gorgeous reception which overlooks the river..so its not that bad..and its in a cluster housing estate which means it's a house with condo facilities like pool, sauna, gym etc..and it'll be a nice place to unwind and relax after a busy day at sch/work..just that we have to pay rent over the summer and my parents haven't gotten used to that idea yet. So now i'm thinking..i'm gonna def extend my tic when i get back from my trip and maybe stay in london for another month and find a summer job. Don't quite feel like going home anyway since i juz went back in march and there's more here to hold me back. Now, i just need to change the date of my driving test, change my air ticket, find a summer job and move house. Whoever said holidays were relaxing...lol. But whatever, i've just about finished packing for my trip..and everything's more or less settled except for the minor cash flow problem we're having for our housing since kai has left and i'm going on holiday tmr..hopefully everything will be ok.
