Wretched Rich Kids

I'm looking forward to this weekend Batam trip. Whole body aching and needing another full body massage. (which reminds me to blog about my birthday!)

I can't stand those stupid rich kids cancelling tuition on me at their whines n whims. Idiotic! Why must they be so spoilt and retarded, not to understand the importance of studying? Everyday complain and refusing to study hard, waste money and efforts, thinking the whole world revolves around that kid only. PIGS!

For money, I just have to swallow all these and suffer all this Shit lor. Life's difficult.

My "Not So Lucky" 13

9. Met Zhi Lin and Yi Si for 3 days straight, and it was good talking to people of my "auntie" frequency once again. Difficult to find anyone in VFC sadly.
10. My tuition schedule for 2010 is almost packed. I'm so grateful for God's providence despite the recession. Money money money, come to Mummy!
11. Christmas is in 9 days, I have almost 50 cards to write. I'm so sian, just thinking of writing them all, with my pretty cursive handwriting. LOL!

13. Lucky 13! I finally started using my new hp - Nokia E71. I'm so sad that I bought this hp now, bcos 1 month after I got it, E72 came out =( It was cooler than this boring 71. Eeeeeee! Not so lucky 13 after all eh...

That's all for my December now. Pics are way too much to collage and upload and blah blah blah. I see my mood and schedule again next year lah.

Au revoir amigos! (Goodbye* in French, Friends* in Spanish)

Happy 23rd Birthday to ME!

Dunno why my stupid Nokia E71 cannot upload the rotated images onto Blogger properly. Sighs. Nonsense as usual.

This week, sis and I stayed over at cousins' house at Jurong West, for the past 4 days. We literally eat, sleep, play the whole time. LOL! So yesterday, we went over to grandma's for KFC and a last-minute early-birthday celebration for me.

I even have to pay 1/4 the cost of my own birthday cake, spilt equally amongst sis and cousins. Poor old me. We forgot to take pics of the KFC meal that my other aunt treated us, as we were famished by 7.30pm. Haha!

Me with the "cartoon" birthday cake :D

The cartoon birthday cake, topped with plastic figurines of Spiderman, Ultraman, evil villian etc. Haha!

My Spiderman birthday cake! LOL! At such a age as this. DOTS!

My lovely cousins, sis and me :D

I love staying over with them, although they can sucked the life and energy outta me quickly, in a span of few days. Haha! Jurong West is really like my 2nd home.

Oh, and again, Happy 23rd Birthday to me, the queen of the day! Cheers and God bless me (:

My Birthday Wishlist for 2009!

Yes lah! My birthday is finally around the corner again! Lalalalala~

Thinking what to get for me?

1. MONEY $_$
2. Blazer (basic black and/or denim)
3. Handbag and/or Sling bag
4. Snow Leopard OS upgrade ^^
5. Clothes?
6. Black Heels
7. Shoe vouchers for GOOD shoe shops....
8. LASIK (thinking of Mei....)
9. Ipod Classic (Black) =D
10. more $$$$$$$$$

Straight forward enough hor :D Sms me if need more help. Will gladly help.

I'm still busy doing so many nonsense now, I really wanna complete the remaining Sydney trip entry by 2009. Haha! It's way overdue lah, like 6.5 months liao. LOL!

Earning Money Really Isn't Easy!

Sian! Stupid blogger din save and publish my entry now I gotta retype it on the hp. Waste time only. Arghhh! Rather blog on my mac in future instead. Haiz.

Speaking of my mac, it have been fixed and I paid a grand total of about $386 on it. Wretched love. My heart so pain, pocket one big hole, worked so hard for what. I'll therefore be more kiasu to ensure that there will be no such history repeated again.

Oh ya, working hard the month, that darn temp data entry job... Sucked the life outta me for 4 boring weeks lah! Wanted to rant on some stuff here but I think best is ask me personally lah. Haha!

Back to tutoring lifestyle for now. PSLE results was out last week and my student got a A* for Maths (despite the difficult questions and moderation, duh!) and A for Science, with a total of 239 points. I'd not claim credit for myself bcos I think she is very hardworking and studious.

On the other hand, my cousin scored a crazy total of 266 points! LOL! A* for Chinese, Maths, Science and Higher Chinese, and A for English. OMG! Crazy right! Apparently she beat my other cousin aka her older brother (251 points in '06) hands down. Haha!

Next year will be a fresh crazy academic year for all the students, and for me too. Students in private tutoring come and go, so does that happen in tuition centres too. I pray for God's continous providence for a better job and prospects if I really wanna get married in my 5-year-plan. LOL!

Siu Mei was telling me yesterday that she was going for her LASIK operation today. This procedure would actually cost between 2 to 3k odd, and it is still expensive in my opinion. It has been my dream to get perfect eyesight and see things straight away when I open my eyes when I wake up each morning. I hope I can fulfill that dream by next year. Yes, I do have money, but I must save it for rainy days first. Vanity can wait, right? Haha!

赚钱真的不容易啊!

Suay + Shitty = Spoilt

November surely gotta be one of my worst months ever.

List of things that spoilt/gonna spoil very soon: black heels, bronze heels, handbag, sling bag, water bottle and the worst of all..... My beloved macbook! NOOOOOOO!

It just wouldn't charge up with the adaptor and/or battery attached. Hence battery finally went so flat that I can't even switch it on. Can you feel my sadness already? Sighs.

Decided to go to wheelocks today and service my beloved, and boy, was it expensive w/o warranty. Another regret of my life. Diagnostic charges cost me $75 already, excluding repair charges yet. Still must wait for some stupid quotation by their silly technicians. Super suay lah!

That lady said that she suspected the connection part of my charger and the laptop went wrong and will take 2-3 working days to further diagnose it lah. Haiz. Dunno why I worked so hard for what sia, all my earnings just go pay for all these silly damages. Darn.

Worse still, the ultimate thing that made me so dulan.... The lady told me my beloved had a big CRACK at the edge of the front part of the laptop - where your right wrist rest on. Sobs. I shouted at her," It wasn't there when I brought it to you! How did that appear?!". Stupid lady just gave me that that's-your-problem blur look. DULAN!

I was tired, hungry, pissed and upset at 12 noon. I just can't be bothered to kick a fuss although it is clearly not of my doing. If you have seen my beloved, you would know how kiasu I am with it. I put that red crystal casing, plus that bright pink cushiony laptop sleeve over it. It's like wearing pads lah!

*#@#$%^&*(%&*&*$#^%#&~!!!

Yes, I'm that pissed! How bad can this month get, really! ARGHH! :'(

Tiring November

My macbook is down for the moment, so I got no choice but to blog from my new hp. Haha! The adaptor/battery might be the problem. So sad.

Oh, and sorry for the lack of updates lately, haven't had time to even eat or sleep well either, too many stuff to squeeze into a single day. Haven't had a decent sleep for almost 2 months liao. I look like a skinny panda now. Sighs.

Anyway this mth I got no tuition bcos exams are over. Ha. I had been and still am busy with this temp data entry job I took up with TNT Express. It pays me peanuts, makes me half-blind by staring hard at the computer for almost 10 hours straight everyday, and just do monotonous data entry like a robot day in and out - I'm the "live" version, that's the difference. Sucks.

Gonna try blog again another time, when this hp is in a better mood too lah.

The Butterfly Circus - HOPE!

Watch this touching short movie clip. Good arts stuff =)

Nokia E71 Is MINE!

I just rewarded myself with a new handphone! Which also means that wretched LG Viewty phone shall be on sale in a second-hand shop ASAP!

In come a new Nokia E71 White handphone =) for $178. Pa recontract his line so he let me buy the phone instead, with my own money of course!

Gonna start transferring all my music, pics and contacts over ASAP! I can't wait =)

Tutoring Terrorist Kids

This is a crazy October for me!

Tutoring the many kids have been so terrorising to me that I think I need inner healing for bitterness already. My schedule is so packed till I got no time to eat, literally! Those parents also one kind, know their kids so problematic still dun wanna do anything to help improve the kids' studies etc.

I see messy studying environments, like the Terrorist Kids' bedrooms. I dun even feel like entering the house ever again; if not for the fact that they provide me with that few hundred bucks monthly. PSLE and Secondary exams are finally over, left with Primary school kids. One more week to a slacker month.

I'm not considering doing full-time tutoring next year unless I can manage to retain my current students. I hate the travelling to and fro, rushing like a mad cow. When I'm just 10 minutes late, I feel like a cheat, trying to scam 10 minutes worth of tuition time from the parents.

I say, if you are so unhappy with me being abit late, find another tutor who can tahan your annoying terrorist kids! They are literally pains in my arse! Please get your lazy kids to study more and not always depend on the tutor for everything. They are sitting for their own exams, which is actually very easy - unless you are talking about this year's retarded PSLE Maths paper.

Simple fractions, multiplication and decimals - cannot even do since beginning of the year?
There is definitely sth wrong with:

(A) Teacher
(B) Student
(C) Tutor
(D) Parents
----------------
(1) A Only
(2) B Only
(3) A & C Only
(4) B & D Only

I choose (4).

Therefore, I still want a proper full-time engineering job, damnit!

I'm so gonna shop online when I get my big fat paychecks this month!

Amidst all these hoo-ha about retarded students and running from house to house, I thank God for bestowing (too much) blessings to me. I might need to give blessings away too! Hahaha!

Anyway just now, I was on my way home listening to radio when I heard Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take The Wheel". It is a powerful song with lotsa thoughts and emotions running thru the mind as the lyrics were being sung. Great stuff, you should listen to this!

For now (or rather in November), I just wanna eat good food, exercise more and then bum around more and watch Growing Up on Channel 5 every day at 3pm! As I type this out, it is 3pm! YAY!

Double Portion!

Thank God for His numerous blessings this month. Double portion, literally. Just like how Elisha asked Elijah for double portion blessings! Even my earnings this month from tutoring, has doubled, much thanks to those poor kids suffering from final exams. Hahaha! Their suffering is my blessing!

Thank God for blessing me with 3 more students this month, and a freelance teaching job at Jemima's cousin's tuition centre. Awesome God we serve! He bless us with big things when we honour Him and is faithful with small things.

Hip Hip Hooray!

Off to tuition now, it's late and I have not even bathed yet. Haha!

Wait Up!

Wait abit more while I blog out many more stuff. Too much to write, too lil time to write them out. Haha! Bear with me for now =)

For now, this is what I do in my free time.

Except for the dog, kid and father. It's just me alone on the couch, thank you.

Save The Marriage, PLEASE!

Is it so easy to end a marriage, just by simply saying the word "Divorce" and sign the papers?

It saddens me to know how my friends are coping with their parents' 20-year marriage just come to an abrupt end. Usually it is bcos of the husband is suspected/has a extramarital affair, but there are times when the wife is at fault too. I wish I could help the estranged families in any ways, but I dunno how to, as yet.

The sad thing I always hear from them is that, they pray very hard for a miracle to happen in the family. It always ends up in disappointment and further hurt, bcos God did not answer their pleas or plight. It then lead to the disappointed friend losing the faith and trust in God, thinking "God" is just an illusion or sorts.

I really wish we could all stop turning to God only when we need Him to help us with our problems. He deserve due respect when He pours blessings unto us too. How often do we remember thanking God for the things He done in our lives, yet we overlooked them and treat the blessings as "luck"?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friend "S" used to love God with all his heart. He always go church, meetings and read the Bible very faithfully. One day, he realised about his dad's unfaithfulness towards his mum. Not only did he not mediate between them, he showed no concern to help salvage the parents' marriage. The parents eventually separated and had since lived in different apartments, S followed his mum obviously.

Now, S not only dun come to church anymore, he dun trust that God can help his parents' marriage anymore. S gave up asking God for help. I'm not saying S is totally at fault, I know he prayed very hard during that time, but I feel that he could have done better to help as a son to his parents. His attitude towards the situation was very immature and nonchalant. It saddened me further when I see lil efforts made by him, to resolve the situation between his parents or with God.

S had so much potential, so much to learn and give, but it looks like he has chosen a path that is gonna be quite stormy and a big roundabout in life. It din seem to matter when I shared with him my personal roundabout life's experiences, bcos he has followed that same path I once ventured to.

Some has given up on him, others (including me) continue to believe and pray that one day he'll eventually turn back to God, towards the One who is all-powerful and all-knowing. I just met S recently, he tried so hard to smile and pretend all is fine, behind that mask. I felt sad, awkward and disappointed, to see how much he tried to change outside of his personality, for the sake of that girl and those useless company of friends of his. It was an awkward supper, by the way.

Hopefully my birthday present to you would be of some help to your spiritual life, bcos I feel that you have drifted way too far away, like a drifting log in the ocean. I have heard nuthin from you ever since that supper, I feel very sad. No words of appreciation or thanks, no words of God's wisdom and encouragement came either, unlike the days when you used to text me so much positive stuff.

S, you may try very hard to avoid God's voice or us, but we believe that you'll return soon enough. You are missed by us all. Dun give yourself anymore excuses to escape reality. Remember the anointing you have when you first learnt the guitar, remember the dreams and prophesies He placed in your heart, remember the love you received from Him.

I'll always remember the song you taught us in class once, "When God Ran". Everytime I hear this song on my mp3, you come across my mind w/o fail. Ironically, you have now become the source of why God is actually running for. My heart hurts and cries for your return. We really want you back!

I sound like some major cult freak now, but really I'm not hor. I feel very burdened, I wanna tell S all these but I know he won't listen to this - bcos he'll obviously come up with more excuses.

OK, enough of this sad sob S. I wish someone can enlighten me on how to help these affected people who are affected by their parents' dysfunctional marriage. Thank you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

p/s: Marriage is for life. You dun make that lifelong marriage vow of saying "I do" at the ROM or wedding altar, for the sake of the first few years of passionate love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version)

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.⁸Love never fails. -Source

No Smoking!

Did you know that I never tried smoking b4?

Not even one stick, nor a single puff outta curiosity.

I know I look like gangster at certain angles, I behave like ah-lian* (female gangster/hooligan) at certain times, I got that smoker face too, BUT I NEVER EVER SMOKE B4!

-IN YOUR FACE!-

I'm so proud of myself, that I managed to have that willpower to hold on to my stand about no-smoking to my body. Despite those pig-and-dog-friends of mine trying to be the devils when I was in poly, I admit I was tempted many times in the 3 years there, however thank God I could hold my urge to light one stick just to TRY. Ha!

So kids, please dun try smoking. It's never good for you, neither is it cool to people. You are just a loser if you smoke, really. You wanna be a winner, right? Good boys and girls =)

NO SMOKING!!
