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..
