I'M BACK FROM HK!!!

haha to all those who are eagerly waiting for my souvenirs, you wun be disappointed becos there is NONE!!! lol juz kidding...well i got some snacks from hk and macau as well as a few small items to give out to the lucky ones...lol...

anyway i feel lazy to blog abt my hk trip now...

so i juz wanna end off with this line which is very meaningful but also one that many of us cannot grasp...

"Appreciate what has happened rather than imagine what could have happened"

Flying off to HK in 2 days time(which also means last day of sch tmr, at least for this term)!! haha...hope to be able to catch the champs league final in hk...den see man u win (hopefully) wahaha...gonna eat lotsa gd food, probably get some nice clothes if they are cheap and of coz juz experience life in hk with the sightseeing, shopping, eating etc...

Bouldering is quite fun...went to try it for the 1st time at safra yishun a few wks ago...it's like horizontal rock climbing like wat jo said and at least i not scared of heights tat much to be affected by the walls there...lol...something new and fun worth experiencing plus it provides quite a good workout as well for the arms and legs...after a couple of hours, the arms start to tire and at the end of the session, it really feels like u cannot hang on for much longer on the rocks...haha...and being it my 1st time at safra yishun as well, i felt that the whole compound seems like quite a nice chillout place where a group of frens could juz easily spend one whole day in the premises alone...with the diff facilities available, there're lotsa options for everyone to choose from...maybe that could be an idea for a future gathering haha...

Soon in the nxt few months, i will be trying out dancing as well as paintball...they should be fun i guess judging by what i've heard from others so far...haha...and of coz with new experiences come new insights and lessons to learn... =)

Ok that's all folks for this post... my nxt one shld be when i return from my hk trip...haha...in the meantime dun miss me~~!!! lol... =X

3 more days of work be4 the long wkend arrives =D...gonna be another fun-filled one i guess with certain activities already lined up for now and more to be confirmed soon...lol..and den after another day in sch nxt tues, i'll be flying off to hk! woot..haha...hopefully i can meet up with kh and get him to bring me around a few interesting places over there...lol

Well i went to the botanic gardens yest for my sch's sec 2 enrichment programme...haven been there for a really long time (so long tat i can't rmb the last time i was there =X haha) but nevertheless i was quite pleasantly surprised by how it looked to me...the huge area that it occupies bounded by holland, bukit timah and orchard area...and of coz the diff trails that lead to various gardens of all sorts displaying orchids, ginger etc...i shld spend one day nxt time in the botanic gardens juz walking around at a leisurely pace and enjoying the atmosphere, breathing in the fresh air, soaking in the sights and sounds of nature which truthfully, i haven done much of in the past...or if i feel like i need a workout somewhere unique, i may juz go for a jog and immerse myself over there...haha...let's juz hope that entry to botanic gardens will remain free forever haha...we were discussing the possibility of botanic gardens starting to charge an entry fee in future and how it would really change the way it is now with people coming and going freely as they please rather than paying anything...

Juz checked out the dates for matriculation/camps/misc stuff for uni...looks quite packed in july and aug...haha...contemplating if i shld carry on relief teaching after the june sch hols...lol...altho i wun say i am that in need of cash, at the same time it would be gd to have more as uni beckons...seems like expenditure will increase while income coming in during uni will be lesser as compared to now...haha..

Time to sleep...Good night...

Lol i dunno why but i have been feeling happy these few days...it's like i manage to find something positive to think abt out of everything...haha...not to mention salary arriving as well...it's juz the direct opposite to how sometimes i can feel really sianded as though everything's juz not happening the way i wan them to be...

Anyway today's the end of the mid years for my sch and i really could see the students letting their hair down (literally for some =P) and enjoying themselves outside...makes me rmb of my own similar experiences(as i was discussing with my fren a few days back)...how when the examiner announces, "Your time is up. Stop writing." for the last paper, you juz feel a sense of (overwhelming) gladness that it's all over even though u know u may have screwed up a few papers here and there...lol..and den it will be going out to celebrate with a delicious lunch/dinner + mingling session as usual...

My mum juz booked tickets to hk!!! haha...i'll be flying off on the 21st of this month...going with family on this trip den end june going taiwan with the wushu peeps...lol..this hk trip is certainly planned quite abruptly but i'm not complaining...what a way to kick off my long holiday break in june and it's gonna be a blast like the last time i went there(during end of 2006)... =)

Now i tink i have a clearer idea of why i feel happy these few days =D hahaha

Haha midweek entry for all u peeps waiting for me to blog...lol...

This wk's been so far so good...doing admin in school while it's the midyears...and giving extra tuition lessons(why am i repeating myself from the last entry?) haha...also been quite busy trying to arrange diff outings here and there though...what with all the smsing and calling going around...juz hope that all these "hassle" will not come to nought...haha...

Observing and talking to diff ppl once again lets me understand them much better and learn much more abt how life's diff for many of us...differing viewpoints on various matters, tastes and preferences changing from one person to another...and all this juz brings me to the point that i would really like to travel the world and experience diff cultures in other countries...juz purely travelling and interacting with the locals will be interesting and exciting...immersing myself in their cultures and practices while perhaps even sharing our own singaporean ones with them...haha of coz all this is a dream thus far for without the financial means to carry out my plan, it's all juz a thought which i hope will one day become reality...hahaha...maybe by next wk i'll be singing a diff tune liaoz if some things really go the way i wan them to...lol =D

Last 10 matches of the epl season this wkend(which adds to my already hectic schedule thus far...haha) and of coz i wan man u to win the title...lol...and also the champs league as well...=)

And den may 23rd is the day the sch term ends and i'll be free i guess for more fun and enjoyment...hahaha =D

It's the midyear exams period now which basically means that i dun have to relief any classes in sch(altho i still go and help out in admin stuff and get paid haha =D) and that i have extra tuition lessons to give to my 2 students(which again translates to more $$)...

But of coz as we all like to dream beyond reality sometimes, the biggest prize of all could juz be winning the group 1 prize in toto and sharing the money with a few other peeps...haha...den a shopping spree wun juz be talked about but instead carried out for real...lol

Anyway, despite my busy schedule this week(with the additional tuition lessons), managed to have a fun bball session yest during the labour day holiday...and tmr i'm going to try bouldering out...heard it's really fun so see how it goes tmr...hope it'll be a really great experience to learn something new as well as work out...haha...and speaking of working out brings my mind to the gym session i had on wed night with jo and zhou...first time going there with them...now my muscles still aching but it was worth it lah...hadn't been to the gym for a very long time(my previous visit was to the school gym at least a month ago =X and the onli regular workout i have is bball)...looking forward to going gym again soon altho i wun concentrate so much on chest muscles le...lol...

It took me quite a while to realise certain stuff going on around me...but now i'm enlightened and glad for all concerned...for those ppl who know what they want and are pursuing it in their own ways, i wish u all the best in your endeavours and may u succeed haha...whereas i can't really say the same for myself, i assure myself that soon, i'll be like one of them once everything become clearer... =)
