Woke up early today just to find the right attire to wear to relief in chung cheng, and then i found i have no appropriate shoes. Well...doing relief for my own school is so different..like..so inappropriate for the teachers to now become your colleagues.
And the atmosphere in the chinese staff room was so odd...now I prefer broadrick's staffroom, it was so much nicer and comfortable. I'ld rather always be an ex-student than come back as somebody else. And so, I can't wait for CCA time to come so I can escape to the calligraphy room. Then I painted some more bamboo..I love bamboos.
Yan Sin came and showed me her new phone..then we went to the concourse and tried to wait for the monster fish in the lake to surface again..but it didn't..maybe it died. We can't decie on what to eat or where to eat..so we reached the canal bus stop and decided to take the third bus and alight at the second shopping centre the bus was going to. And hence it was 10 and we headed for vivo. Again, we consulted the directory and looked for something to eat. We had Jap steamboat at some Jap restaurant which was horribly cold. Whoa..the food there is damn nice...the price was headed towards the high-end..but nonetheless, the food was worth the prie..and I was so full after that I barely can down the dessert. But once again, the simple ice-cream dessert was so nice I can't help but finish them. The ice-cream was so smooth and tasty..
And I wanted to get a lagguage bag to put my textbooks when I go to hostel..and so I went to samsonite and then tangs at vivo..there is a sales in tangs, and they had a variety of nice small lagguage bags which were just the right size for me..over a hundred fifty..now I'm thinking whether or not to get them..at least better than a crumpler coz my shoulders are spared of the weight. Maybe i'll get them before the great singapore sale ends.
We took a bus home..and along the way to the bus stop, we found that my alleged good sense of direction wasn't effective after all..but I swear...I am good at navigating my own way around when I'm alone..:)
And I swear Kimura Takuya really got married on his parents arrangement..at least thats what I heard years ago on the newspapers..and everyone was talking about it.
Haiiii........I dunno what to do really nowadays..days now are like the temporary..just plain temporary..like there's something good comng up so I just have to wait for the day to come..but the empty days are just so unbearable, can't stand it. Life withot purpose is so so bad..and plain boring. Even walking in a shopping centre so crowded with people can't clear the boredom, can't give me any purpose or energy.
Haiiiii........
Before school starts, I am going to finish the whole econs textbook first, and also the first chapter of uni physics. And also some books I bought in China. Where? I dunno too..depends on my mood...
I bought a book called 'Illustrating my life' at pageone, nice book with collections of people's sketches. I love sketches, and I love sketching. The book looks nice..and of course, I think it'll only be for reference and not for reading.
I just did less than a quarter of a mindmap for exchange and markets. hoping to finish more after this before I sleep. The zettai kareshi song is nice, still. :)

I wanted to go to starbucks to do my stuff today..you know, that kind of ambience. But I ended up going to my dad's office, then went to pick my dad up from the airport. We had lunch at the food court. Its funny how when there's variety, you never seem to fill your stomach, so after so many thai dishes, we still end up filling up at macdonalds.
Went to teach tuition after that.and Hsin lao shi called me halfway to ask if I could teach relief lessons in Chung Cheng from tomorrow.
And so, I went down to Chung Cheng to collect textbooks. It is so different to go back to school for a different purpose. I met my cousin who is also a chinese teacher there.
I got a shock when I heard Zoe is in a different hall as me..like..how are we supposed to be roommates when our halls are different?..I have mixed feelings for staying with a stranger..
I finally finished watching Zettai Kareshi..the song is nice..very nice..like full of childhood sweetheart memories.

This is a week into what I consider my 'real' holiday before University term starts, and I can't bear the boredom anymore.
I practically have nothing on my agenda for the day, except a few crazy promises to myself the day before to read 6 chapters of the book I borrowed from the national library recently, or mindmap the first chapter of economics, which I had earlier gone to the reference library to make a copy of, which, of course, by the end of the day, was barely fulfilled.
Sometimes, you would think it was better for me to keep myself busy with lots of things, like what everyone is doing now- learning to drive, taking up yet another part-time or just get something to spend my time away. But isn't it better that I have a quiet month to think, to maybe get down to some serious work, or just enjoy the company of books- slow reading, or which I call appreciation? Sometimes I think boredom forces you to do the things you like most, though they might be as dry as the programes they show on TV nowadays. Maybe no facebook or shopping would be good.
I recently read a book (and is still on it) by John C Maxwell- Today Matters. The language was just perfect for me to get through the book (I give up most self-help books halfway through because the language makes me feel as though I'm in another century..), and its quite good. There are things I can definitely relate to, coz I'm too much of a procastinator! Will share more when I have finished the book.
I went out with HY, NJ and Candy today. We went for a game of squash, and then went shopping for sushi ingredients, and then spent the entire day at Candy's house and completed a full round of mahjong. Serious, this is the first time I win so much tokens when I play mahjong, I'll usually be the one paying others, so now, it feels so damn great to win so much. Haha..unfortunaely, real money not involved. Ha ha..

I remember I was teaching my Primary 5 tutee what the word 'acquaintance' is...and I had to differentiate between 'confidante', 'acquaintance', and two other words with similar meanings but with less intensity. And there I go, telling her that those are people whom you meet in your lives but whom may not be as close to as confidantes..but on deeper thought..both are indispensible..both are important..at least to me.
WE meet people day in and out.how many of them eventually get to be your acquaintance? - people who you'll find comfort with, people who you don't hesitate to bring up random topics with, people that are definitely more than just 'hi'- 'bye' people. But then again, you don't want to bother these people with personal stuff that might seem so insignificant to them..so meaningless to them.
PLAYED a game with Nick Shaw yesterday night on msn, also had a chat with Yan Sin on randomly churned up topics..these sometimes make me think of whether the line between confidante and acquaintance can be blurred. Acquaintances can sometimes be the perfect confidante..that is, when time calls for it..and confidantes doubles up as acquaintances when boredom comes running along.

其实本来就还在放假，但很快的，真的要放假了。对假期又爱又恨，爱是因为可以脱离常规，恨是因为本来就不喜欢无所事事。但的确，放了这么长的假，还是培养了我内心自由的欲望，很想放下一切，痛痛快快的旅游个够。
我觉得我有永远不停涌起的旅游欲望，每个假期都想找些什么做，看看新东西，但也非常幸运的，每次都如我所愿，想出国就出国。
其实也不完全想看新东西，我更想看到变化。每逢假期去的国家，一定是自己已经去过的。因为曾经到过某个国家，非常欣赏当地的人文气息、山水风情，所以更想再次回到那个地方，好让我挖掘一些美好的回忆。也曾读过某篇文章，里头提到曲艺的地方旅游，千万不要一次过把所有的名胜地看尽，相反的，该留下一些没有参观某个名胜的遗憾，好让自己有个理由再回到那个地方。可能真的是这样吧，至今所到过的地方-马来西亚，台湾，中国，泰国，香港等，都是去过多过一次的。
前年年终假期参加语特浸濡活动到台湾，结果真的爱上了台湾，可能是因为学生团的关系，遇到的人、事，尝试的东西、食物等都让我见证了台湾的特别之处。回到新加坡后，我把所见所闻，经过自己的一份包装后，呈献给了周围的朋友和家人，结果越讲越喜欢，忍不住，一年后又回到台湾旅行。
两次取得目的都不一样。第一次到台湾，什么都能够尝试，而且还有同学陪伴，整个行程非常愉快，也借那次机会认清了自己，找到了几位非常谈得来的好友。当时刚开始喜欢自己拍照，拍得多数是风景，回到新加坡冲洗出来，发现其实都蛮好看的。第二次去台湾，一心只想拍很多很多的照片，不管好不好看，反正拍了再说，结果虽与中学朋友们共度时间，却感觉非常地脱离他们现在回想起来，真的觉得蛮遗憾的。旅游时拍的照片，真的能特写出那段时间的回忆吗？
在学校上英文课时，曾读到一篇文章，文章写的是关于作者到威尼斯旅行，看见很多其他旅客手握相机不停的拍照，想必是想记录自己的旅游经验，但作者则认为看见了美丽的风景，更不因该拍照记录下来，因为这样好比将洋葱的外层一层一层的脱下，最后什么都不剩了。如果见到美丽的古迹便拍下十几张照片，对作者而言，那个伴随着古迹的神秘感也让我们‘拍’走了。对我而言，我也开始相信一旦照片拍多了，亲眼看得到的东西也少了，怎么还有时间欣赏自然风景，与好友做伴观看美丽的日落？这才发现，我第二次到台湾，好像没有多少回忆是不通过照相机的镜片而得到的。
这次去东莞，想看的是变化，看看我几年前的回忆是否依旧，好期待！

‘他们不停的开门关门，门开了有关，关了又开。’
这句话是还有下联的，但觉得不太确切，所以删掉了。不知为什么会因为英文考不好而这么在意，人人却都不了解我的悲苦，常常说我那么一点小挫折上什么心，还说他们心中有更惨的什么什么。。。 但我在意的不是他们又多惨，而是我自己。。。你们真么都不了解？
最近心很烦，常常为这么一个‘他们不停的开门关门，门开了有关，关了又开。’的问题而烦，什么都做了，你还要我怎么样？
