I survived!

Me S.U.R.V.I.V.E.D. !

Teaching ABC !

Aloha ! Miss Tan survived teaching today!

Class starts at 2.30 p.m., I was freaking nervous at that moment, confused and completely lost my mind, I dont know where and how to start. Thank GOD! I quickly prayed, and God answered my prayer. He took away my fear, my stage fright thingy and I was able to speak out loud [for the first time I guess].

It was tiring! 2 hours teaching is enough for me. I cannot handle further long hours of teaching. lol. By the end of the class, I was exhausted and hungry already. Somemore, dry throats! I better drink more water before I teach next time. lol.

Awwww... cute aye??

I WAS that cute too!!

Once I reached home, I had my shower and dinner then quickly jumped into my lalaland. Then, suprise waiting for me! Cuzzy came into my room & mum woke me up! Weee! So happy to see Christine darling! At least I get to meet and chat with her before she leave for KL again. No worries, she's coming back for Chinese New Year. So, more meet ups! lol!

Hhmm... I might as well teach the kids about 'money'.

lol! *evil grins*

Butterfly

No, it's not the insect butterfly i mean here.

It's butterfly in my stomach. I'm having insomnia now. Couldnt sleep. I feel like vomiting now. Speaking of which, I puked out at Kuching Specialist Hospital today, wrong, it was yesterday. Naughty grandma got her feet injured yesterday noon. She mopped the floor upstairs and somehow slipped and her feet were caught in between the staircase's grill. The skin near her toes got peeled off and serious bleeding. Grandma can still smile when she arrived at the A&E at the hospital. *peng* She just couldnt sit still, thats why I call her naughty, or maybe I should call her active instead. The cut on her feet were so serious that the doctor need to stitch it. STITCH! This word can easily kill me.

Mum : I think grandma's cut need a stitch.

Me : Dont say that word! *close my ears*

My ears couldnt bear that word 'stitch'. I'd start imagine all those creepy unbearable pain of grandma's feet. I dont dare to look at grandma's cut and walked away. Then uncle and mum came to sit with me while waiting for the doctor to disinfect the cut. Uncle and mum were chatting and I heard the word 'stitch' again. Next thing I knew was 'Mum, I'm going to puke!' and I ran to the toilet. *uuueekkkkk!* Now this is how I'm feeling now too. Feeling the same butterfly in my stomach thingy like I did yesterday. Thank God I didnt faint on the spot.

When I reached home, I told dad what happened to me.

Me : Diiie [as in Dadiiie], I vomited just now!

Dad : Aiya. Why vomit. So lao ya one you.

Me : I heard the word 'stitch' lehhh...so scary!

Dad : Bo ha mik lah. Stitch saja.

Me : Dont say lw, I wana vomit again.

Dad : Tiam pok du vomit... If everyone like u, no doctor lw.

Me : Haiya. Mum still teased me to take medicine course, how can? I cant even bear the word 'stitch', what more to say stitch a patient's wound.

Dad : Lu ha mik du kia.

Me : Yealo. I go sleep lw.

Dad's right. *Parents are always right I guess*. I'm afraid of practically everything. Needles. Cockroach. Bees. Bugs. Tiny lil creature hiding under the sand of the beach. Cats. Yeah I'm scare of cats and I hate them too. Pain, both physical & mental pain.

ohH!! When am I gonna grow up and stop being afraid of these oh-so-small-matter??

..:: Congrates me ::..

I'm on cloud nine now!

I did it!

I survived!

I got the job!!

*******************************************************************

Went for the job interview this morning. I was expecting the interview to be in English, turns out to be in Mandarin. Ohh well, suits me fine since I can speak fluent Mandarin, but written is so not me! I wasnt that nervous or scared about the interview thingy, I'm more worried about the first day I teach. I survived the interview thingy and they hired me! Call me lucky cause the tuition centre is short of teacher at the moment. I'm please and glad!

This is my first time going for an interview, what more to say, my FIRST job. I just hope I dont freak out next Monday. I'm teaching Science and Maths, primary 4,5 & 6. I'll pray hard these kids wont be a pain on the neck, otherwise I really dont know how to handle them.

Problems spinning in my head now. I have 3 major problems with me. First, I have stage fright. Gotta overcome this otherwise how the hell I gonna go to Uni or college?? -.-'' Second, I have soft voice. Well, this is easy I guess. I'll just shout if they cant hear me. Third, the worst of all I have to teach Science and Maths in Mandarin!! Duhhhhh!! They gave me a sample of the teacher's copy for Science subject just now and I tried reading those words. MAN!! My Mandarin is really poor. I had difficulties reading those words!! Worst, I dont even recognise or read some of the Mandarin words though it's Primary syllabus. Failure though I took Mandarin till Form5. Guess I have to bring a Chinese Dictionary with me to class. Lol.

Anyway, Val might be joining me. I hope she gets this job too, then I'll have a partner!

All the best Val =)

LoooOg Day out

After sending Joshua off to airport, Sharon texted me for help! She needs a maid [a good one] to help her tidy up her closet, urge from her mum actually otherwise she wont be so desperate for help. Ohh well, me being the good buddy agreed her and went straight to her house after I went back home to get her belated Xmas pressie. We sorted out the clothes and decided to hang them according to colours. Turned out to be a rainbow closet! *We love*

I thought I have many clothes and told myself to be more thrifty this year in spending money on clothes. Looks like I changed my mind. Sharon has more clothes, wait, A LOT more than mine! So, my clothes collection is considered average, which means I can get more clothes! weeee!!~~

Then we watched 2 movies continuously. Wild Child and Zohan. I love love Wild Child! Speaking of which, Sharon nodded I look like Emma Roberts in one of our photos taken. woo-hoo, make me hao lien ey. Zohan is funny, lotsa laughter through out the show. I've always enjoy watching Adam Sandler's movie, but I find him cuter in other movies, not this. Haha.

Some crazy moments

Meet up with Agnes after that at Spring. We have been craving for 1901's burger since long time ago. It was supposed to be a small meeting to discuss about our future study and stuff but we ended up shopping A.G.A.I.N.! Lol! We just couldnt resist the temptation especially with the biggy word 'SALES' everywhere. I didnt have much shopping during my vacation trip to Singapore & KL, so I might as well try my luck here. We got real high in the fitting room, we love every piece of clothes we tried, but sad to say, those clothes dont worth that kinda price. They are too pricey. Mum said I can buy whatever clothes or heels I wana when I start earning money. For the time being, I shall be a good girl and be thrifty since I spent a lot on clothes! Yng was at Spring too, we wanted to meet up with her, but by the time we stepped out of the fitting room, it was already near 9 p.m. Agnes has to leave at 9 p.m. and mum wana me to reach home soon cause my cousins gonna go over to my place to inherit my Form5 books! Yeaaaah! Finally I can get rid of my Form5 books and stuffs!


..: Food For Friendship :..

Agnes. Me. Sharon.

Agnes. Yours Truly.

The geeks!

Me : Sharon! Look... I look like the girl in Wild Child right?? *perasan-nya*

Agnes : *Gave me a huh & blur look*

Sharon : Errr...yealo.!

Me : Wah! I'm happy to hear that!

Agnes : Cheh. Just to cheer u mah.

Me : *insisting I look like Emma Roberts*

Agnes : oohhh la oo la. Sui lah.

*peng*

Sharon. Me. Agnes.

Toodles! Till then. We promised to organize a shopping day out, then slumber party + a movie marathon before we leave for college or job. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Separtion's part of life

I woke up really early today around 6.50 a.m.. I know 6.50 a.m. is considered late, but I'm not a morning person, so yeah, it's EARLY!! Joshua should praise me for this. I made an effort to wake up early just to give him a suprise, well I hope my presence did suprised him. I'm representing the other 2 cuzzy though. Haha. I must thank Dor for being so helpful to give me a ride to airport.

3 schoolmates leaving today. Joshua, Elztan, Wui Cherng. Sad atmosphere indeed, but Dor said I laugh all the way. Haha. I'm not that sad actually, cause I know they are coming back! Haha. Dor appeared cool though I know she's sad, but she just held it back. On the other hand, Yng, Lynnie and Shu Kee cried. Anyhow, no one likes separation. Separation = sadness. I hope I dont have to go to airport to send anyone off to study or whatever, at least not within these 3 months. I dont mind people sending me off, then maybe I'll get cute cute biggy pretty teddy as a fairwell gift or whatever. =p I'm greedy and dreaming. But I dont wish to leave Kuching so soon, leave my adorable parents and closest friends!

Skin care + Facial

I feel so refreshing now! Just came back from a facial treatment and skin care shopping spree. Yeah! I'm happy! Wide wide smile on my face! Thanks MUM!! Muacks!!

Mum got me an Elizabeth Arden Oil Control Clarifying Toner. The nice aunty gave me a free Elizabeth Arden White Glove Retexturizing Lotion. How kind of her. Hee Hee.


Then she offered to give me a facial treatment. Yes, my face need serious treatment long ago but I've got no time. Mum wanted to bring me for facial but I'm busy. But i finally got a facial treatment after such a long long time. When was the last time?? I think it was 2 years back. Haha. Facial = Pain + Beautiful. It was painful but i guess the end product is always worth it. Girls ai sui mah. And I'm one of them! =)

Hhrmm... the aunty advised me 'NO SPICY & SOUR FOOD'. I never knew after facial, not allow to consume spicy or sour food, she said will cause scar.


Mum said i better kut lat [= hardworking] use my skin care product since she spent so much on it. I'm lazy and not consistent in using these kinda stuff. Be it body lotion, body butter, face wash or toner. I'm just lazy to use them, and I need people to remind me to use those stuff. Haha. Let's see what I have and I better start using them.

moOo mOoo0oo!

Right now, I'm quite blank. But I still wana blog about it.

2009 huh.
..:: Happy Mo0OOooOoo Year ::...

This is just the beginning, the start of something new. Life gets more complicated as we grow. I wish i could stay 17 forever, or even better, I wish i never grow up. I wish i'm still a kid, a happy little princess. Nah, it's impossible. The clock ticks, people age.

*flash backs*

2008 has been quite a great year. I wont say everything has been smoothly good [there were many sad moments and memories], but overall, it was great. *I'm counting my blessings* There were last chinese new year celebration with grandpa, last birthday celebration for grandpa, bro's weddings, my sweet 17 surprise birthday, car accidents, stressed over examinations for both my bro and I, dad's pain, mum's depression, and until recently mine.

I've learnt to accept how things turn out to be for everything happens for a reason. And I'm sure God is with me & my family. This is what life is all about, the ups and downs, the frowns and smiles. For the moment, I'll stop questioning God but take his lead. I'm always looking forward to a better tomorrow, each day.

" Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, today is a gift."
