You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

Its Saturday and the start of a long weekend. I am glad that I realise early that Monday was school holiday and that I was able to squeeze plans on that day. I would not want to be sitting around at home doing nothing. It bothers me that I am doing nothing you know. I feel so bored even watching the tv, there seems to be nothing interesting to watch and my parents are so obsessed with watching the indonesian soap operas that I am beginning to loathe them. Its in the morning, the afternoon, at night, its driving me nuts!
I do not understand why these shows have so much crying scenes. It just does not make sense to me why people would want to watch it and get angry at it.
Anyway, Friday felt good to be back in school. I had so much to do, mainly rearranging the classroom for the LFs. Limited space for unlimited number of students. Partner and me finally managed to arrange it in such a way that our classroom now looked bigger than before. Aren't we brilliant!! I am also so glad that we managed to create a library corner smacked in the middle of the classroom so that partner's students can have access to it easily as well. Overall, I am quite happy with the arrangements and when lesson proper starts, it will be chaotic with the noises.
I was again on duty at the temperature taking station. Since it was already Friday, it would be unusual for someone to forget to bring thermometer again! As I was questioning each and every single one of the boys why they did not have a thermometer with them, I was taken aback with this P1 boy who almost changed my voice tone from strict to laughter. This was how it went.
Me: Where is your thermometer?!
Boy: At home.
Me: What is it doing at home? Is it having breakfast?
Boy: Yes.
Team mate came over.
Me: This boy said that his thermometer is at home. (I turned to the boy) Tell this teacher what your thermometer is doing at home.
Boy: Having breakfast.
One of those, I dont know whether to laugh or cry moment. Thank goodness the boy was quite cute, its difficult to remain mad at cute people. Ooo..the luxury of being cute.
Going back to school also meant eating packed lunches and breakfast again. Even though I really hate packing lunches, I have not choice. Like what Naf said, if Sugeet smashed his alarm clock when he retired, I will most definitely be smashing my lunch boxes when I retire. Haha.
Salad and chicken, the usual. I took the time to marinate the chicken first this time so it will not be so tasteless. It did taste pretty good.
I rushed home because I had an overview to show at 6.30 pm so took the time to went home, changed and be proper.
My guest was so awesome and definitely one of the sharpest looking person I have shown the plan to this year. He was very well mannered too. It was good that we changed the meet up location to Bishan so that I can do maghrib there. I had plans to stop by the gym for NB class at 8.30 pm but was delayed so I simply went home. But that was not before I had the very sinful white chocolate. (which I had no idea had caffeine, until I tasted it)
The drinks at coffee bean are irresistable. It was really calling to me. Aiyo! Somebody stop me!!!
Its feels weird to be home early on a Friday night. Usually I will be at PASE till late night.
Thanks to the drink, I was awake until 2 am-- cannot sleep!
Saturday is here. Usually I will be in BOB class but since I have no choice but to stay away from all dance cardio classes (for 1 week boohoo), I was so bored at home. I could not even wake up late, perhaps my body is so used to waking up early to go gym. Aiya.
Today my parents promised to let me drive. So I did. Went to have branch (lunch and breakfast) at Bedok corner. The ayam penyet was not bad at all but then again, everything taste good when you are starving right.
My 2 appointments got postponed so I made a quick decision to go HH and NB class at Simei. Both classes are not too high intensity and I really think I can take it.When I entered the studio, I was super shocked to see only 3 ladies. So few people, now we can really see how stupid we look in front of the huge mirrors. Hah! Darryl greeted me with a big smile (so sweet right..) and I quickly got myself settled. The great thing about having the same instructor is that I do not have to keep repeating myself about the knee injury, he is well aware of it. When I could not do the bend, (while the rest can do it with no problem) he looked at me and again give a big smile. I am beginning to think he is not too fluent with english. Haha..anyway I still like him as my instructor all the same. It was the same routine and there was someone new in the class so today I guess I look cooler than last week. Hahah!
Since I was home early, mum suggested I tried to cook one of my favourite dishes. Fried kway tiao! It was pretty easy and I do not know why my mum thinks I cannot cook. Its so easy and just because I do not do it often enough, does not mean that I do not know how. Its just that she is pretty naggy because its HER kitchen and I do not have a peace of mind cooking. I actually love cooking, but to hear nagging during cooking, I would rather not even attempt to try cooking at all.
I thought it looked pretty good. It tasted good too and I cannot believe I had 2 carbo meals today. Must go do more workout!
All the extra time is put to good use as I was listening and laughing away at Suggeet's cd. He is so funny. I am also in the midst of finishing a book, I came across this, which I thought would be good to share it here.
Say you are well, or all is well with you and God shall hear your words and make them come true. --Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I have been trying really hard not to complain about little things that I am unhappy about. Its just natural to sometimes have negative thoughts in our heads. I shall continue to work towards readjusting myself. I am always under construction, not perfect at all. But I can work towards turning my words into perfection.
Proud moment. While having lessons with my P4s, and trying to get everyone settled down (this group has a few ADHD issues), I was suddenly called by Chuan who complained that someone in the group was saying something negative. I think it was 'shit' and 'what the hell'. You know, its sad that its normal to be hearing curse words or usage of the vulgar language so common amongst youngsters nowadays. I really feel sad about it. When did this suddenly became ok?
Therefore, my enforcement of the 'No Negative' rule has shown fantastic results with my boys. Not only they know not to say anything negative about others, they now know not to say anything negative about themselves. Its such a wonderful feeling to see students using what you have persistently taught. Sometimes I do feel like it falls on deaf ears but alas, God has helped me grow the seeds that I planted.
And even if they forget everything about OG, about English that I have taught them, I most certainly hope that this is one thing they will never forget. Because these are values I want them to hold close to them until they grow up.
With that, I myself shall continue to speak words to positivity because every word is like a prayer that is going to come true.
So here it goes:
I am obsessed with doing overviews and showing the plan. Everyone I meet is excited and cannot wait to get started. I am having an explosion of business with so many people going CORE. Our team's goal is to drive everyone to functions and our consistent goal is to have guests at every plan showing functions. Breaking eagles and double eagles is a tradition in our team. Its done. Its happening now.
Woohoo!
