Saya telah dihadiahkan dompet berjenama 'TEKA'!!!

So we decided to go to the Boutique and I fell in love with this wallet immediately after laying my eyes on it. Ling likes it too!! In fact, surprisingly ling has good taste when it comes to shoes and bags. In the shop, he pointed out bags that are of my taste. WELL DONE LING!! now u can bcum my personal shopper. khekhekeh...

So, this wallet is the shop's new arrival. No wonder I did not see it in Metro and such.

ok after my prev post, ling realised that he shud haf given me more support and now i m back to lovin him lots lots again!! esp when it is my shoppin-for-my-presents day!!!!! naturally, i got shoes!! TWO PAIRS!!!

tried to get my 'model' today but she was uncooperative. muz be her diva mood swings.

this is my working shoes!!! i feel that pple of my profession should always look professional and elegant always so dat pple would stop looking down on us. 

The shoes are quite cheap cheap actually. U muz be wondering y my bf so cheapo. never get me branded shoes. Firstly, i go for looks, not brand. Secondly, y waste so much money on something that i would change every 3 months???!!

but there would be another present coming up. Wallet!! i need a new wallet badly. I change wallets once every yr. so, not so bad. can splurge on dat one. so, juz now, i was torn between a Bonia and Guess wallet. They were gorgeous in a funky way!! They were not so ex too!! the price was juz right. but, ling said Bonia is for auntie2 and i consider it an insult cos i have a Carlo Rino bag and he felt that I have not seen other brands. he suggested i look at other brands like Salvatore Ferragamo, which i dun mind cos ultimately, he is paying for dem!! he said, i shudnt make a hasty decision todae if i have not seen other brands yet. Fine, wait till i point at an SF wallet and we'll see wat his reaction would be like. Khekhekhekehe.... But i think, i'll still stick to my Bonia or Guess wallet. They were nice... Sighz....

Ling tricked me yest. When he gave me the bag from crabtree and evelyn, i was so happie cos i tot he bought me the perfume i wanted. but...

it turned out to be this lemon cookies. Klah, the cookies are VERY VERY nice. worth the 15 bucks.

Todae, I chose Hei Sushi to celebrate my bdae. Our celebration actually started since wednesday. Wednesday we went to Swensen's and even ate the sizzling pan thingy for dessert, thursday we had awfully choc cake and pizza and Friday we ate at Sufi turkish restaurant. So my bdae celeb lasted 4 days long. Hehe....

Mixed Fry. The taste is so so only. Everything is fried, nothing much to expect.

Yakitori, ling's fav.Scallop wif mayonnaise. My favourite...

Ling wasnt juz posing for this shot. He loved the sauce so much he licked all the sauce. 

We had the normal sushis. we dun eat the raw ones... eeeiii... we tried raw oysters and raw salmon b4... yucks!!!

For dessert, ling had some coffe vanilla ice cream thingy... 

I had Peach Fantasia... It looked very pleasing...

The centre bit was Ferrero Rocher. After dessert, i still could ask for two more sushis cos i wanna leave the place with a sushi taste in my mouth. haha!!!

I am very happy today cos of ling and also the goodies i got for today!!! There's stil the wallet to look forward to!!!

Oh ya, I also opened a bank accnt at UOB. Now, i dunno if i shud get credit card or debit card. Or whether my UOB should be my spending or savings accnt. This one also another headache cos i dunno how credit cards work...

yest, though it was my bdae, i slept, crying. as i cried, pple were still wishing me a happy bdae and it got more and more ironic which made me feel even worse.

firstly, yest, i had 10 periods of lessons. 10 periods = 5 hours. my min. no. of periods per day is 7 periods actually which is way above average of other pple in my profession. my kids arent exactly angels and yest i still had to get them to arrange their desks and chairs for today's nationwide event. what a horror it was!!! 

during break, two of my kids caught a well known household reptile and it escaped and went to another girl's skirt and yada yada. i wasnt there at that time and my colleague even confessed that she was beside my kids when that incident happen but she was too tired to scold dem as she was also fasting. den wat about me???!! i haf to take dem for 10 periods!!

i actually do haf passion in wat i do, so i get excited during lessons. when i get excited, my kids get excited and they would interrupt me and gif their unnecessary comments as i was talkin. i got super fed up. since yest was a very very heavy day for me, i got really really really fed up. in one day i shouted and scolded them three times. by the third time, i was very very thirsty and i felt very weak. i couldnt take it anymore, i threw my  marker on the floor and had to leave my class halfway to go to the toilet to compose myself.

when i got back to class, i went back to the normal mode. 

den after dat i got duty for today's event which included me walking up and down the stairs, carrying a big box. checking for everything until 5.30pm. by then i really couldnt take it. i felt SOOOO thirsty... ya allah, i can really imagine wat it would haf been like in the desert....

in overall, I worked from 6.30 am to 11am. Break from 11am to 1230pm. Den work again from 1230pm to 5.30pm and my job is not desk job mind u. My job is the physically exhaustive one. 

What was worse is dat, ling din really gaf me the support i needed. he felt that when i complained, it was all about me. He kept asking me if i was the only person fasting. he kept asking me if i was the only one who had to do all those work. it felt like he was accusing me of over exaggerating without considering that others may be in e same plight as me. but who cares if others are in the same plight or worse than me? that doesnt mean i haf no right to complain. I could have fainted there and den. den wait until i faint issit?? i noe dat i was e only person who is fasting and had to take 10 periods, with a difficult class, get the class to arrange tables and carry out that physically taxing duty.

so, i left skool at 6.30pm in a cab and we celebrated at my house cos i was very very tired. ling got a cake from awfully chocolate and we ordered pizzas.

even then, the night ended on a sour note.

it seemed that ling cannot handle my stress level. he said i complain and complain as though i was e only impt person arnd. imagine how i felt at that time? i m still getting used to this challenging profession. right now, i need someone who can give me support. i thought ling could give that cos his work now is not that heavy. i noe it would be heavy in the future. but now he is still doing light duties so it may seemed as though that i m complaining too much cos he got not much things to complain abt! his complain would be, he had to carry a 4kg load of coffee cups for a meeting or, he has to write minutes. i m not saying he shouldnt be complaining but i really feel that his problems right now is like  a tiny pebble as compared to my problem, which is a big rock that will turn into a mountain as time passes. so, i tink i need the support more until i m stable but that doesnt mean i dun give a damn abt his probs right now.

i m mentally, emotionally and psychologically stressed now. i dun tink i m exaggerating. all i need is a person who is generous wif caring and supportive words which seemed too much for ling to give. he said, i was the one who made him feel unhappy cos i keep sharing my grievances. but, i wonder, if i kept most of the things to myself, wont i explode??? who else could i turn to? my family??? my family which doesnt do much to get me to where i am today????

i haf no one. i noe that at times like dis, i need a guy cos girls will never be able to hear the stress i m facing now.

I BADLY need a guy. any guy. a fren to tok to.

 

love u  ling. 

thanks for being my lullaby. I noe I cant slp without hearing ur voice. If i change bf, I will have insomnia.

k, dat's all the time i haf left.

CIAOZ!!!

EH WAIT!!! My bdae is in 2 days' time!!! My pay is in 3 days!!! YAHOO!!!

so, after checking wif our fren abt his upcoming weddin, i tink that it scared ling a little and brought him back to reality. khekhe... wif rising costs, especially food, how can u not spend over 40k for a wedding??!!! Pleaselah, ignorant guests still think that the price of food per head is $8 for void-deck wedding. I heard from my mum that for my sis wedding last yr, it was $12 per head. Now, the same caterer is charging $20 per head. Mebe other catering company wun make such a drastic change but fd prices have increased by A LOT such that I feel like serving boiled potatoes for my wedding. 

I advise u guys to at least give $15 per person even if it is a void deck wedding. But even $15 is not enough to cover the cost of e fd. Dun pandang rendah void deck weddings cos it is still super expensive to have it. I realised this after my sis wedding lor... Den ah, her duit salam did not even exceed 10k even after 700 guests turned up. Citot... haha!

But wat ling said after dat made me uncomfortable. He said mebe shud stay wif parents for one yr. GASP!! One year??!!!! No way man.... Obviously it would be my house cos he still got younger brothers living in his house. BUT that would mean i have to teach in my skool for a longer period of time!!! NOoOOO!!!! 

But ling said that if stay wif parents for one year we can purchase premium BTO, 5-room some more and still have lots of cash left over. Den dat would mean I have to purchase a house early next yr. FAINTZ...

I hate staying here. URGH!

The show portrays the problems and pressures that an american teenager would face. I find the show more educational and more convincing than those Suria shows which try to educate parents on teen gangsterism, teen pregnancy, drugs and yada yada...

I find those shows on Suria very depressing and they dun give much hope to those who are already encountering problems. It was more of a nagging. I also dun tink I m suffering from the disease that the 'Western-shows-are-better-than-ours-juz-because-they-are-from-the-West'.

"The Secret Life of an American Teenager" is about a 15-yr-old girl who got pregnant by a guy she din even love and how the pple arnd her deal with the problem. I like the OPTIMISM in the show in that if u got pregnant at an early stage, not all is lost. U might tink that the show is indirectly encouraging teenage pregnancy by giving hope to those girls. However, the solution to the problem that our society is facing now is way beyond juz warning our teenagers not to get involved in sex. It is quite pointless in doing dat already. We shud take a step further and address those who are already involved and even got pregnant.

I am one of those pple who support the idea on giving out condoms to teenagers. Why?? Because it is time we face the fact that teenagers noe the consequences of early sex and yet they still do it. No matter how hard we try to advise them or deter them by showing gory pictures of abortion, it is of no use. 

Sometimes, to be able to find a solution, we shud face the facts. Not giving out condoms and advising our kids to haf safe sex, is the same as ignoring the real problem altogether. 

The show also portrays on how the teens struggle with parents who are divorcing, teens who have a very bad childhood. In overall, the show has a lot of advice but it is not one of those boring, educational cum documentary kind of show. It is a bit like Gilmore Girls with some humor moments.

I tink it is time our society steps up in producing QUALITY shows to advise the teenagers and not juz producing them for the sake of it. OR.... the mediacorp shud try airing this show on Channel 5. That would be great!! Provided that the parents haf an open mind that is.

Ciaoz!!
