i don't seem to feel so tired today. but i wanna have enough sleep for tomorrow!! sigh. really don't know what's wrong with me. did so much work but still not yet sleepy. weird.
Oh yeah... its Friday in less than an hour!! woohoo. This week has flown by just like that. So quickly, week one is gone. but it really isn't that bad lah, getting into the hang of things... life's quite good and very manageable. hurhur.
ok, good night world. i'll go and try to have my beauty sleep now. :)
parenting 101
First and foremost, you need to act like parents and not your child's friends. Next, set appropriate boundaries and be consistent, stick to the rules.
It seems so straightforward isn't it? But I think more and more younger parents today are finding hard to do. Teaching is a lot like parenting too. Well, I just watched Nanny 911 for the first time on TV just now, and I had a rude shock as to how violent the kids were and how indifferent the dad was. And mum is no better, acts like a friend to her daughter, and does not assert her authority. I was speechless, found myself shaking my head at the mum's actions when dealing with her daughter. So in this show, a nanny steps in and helps the family set things straight. Kudos to the nanny. Very patient and knows her stuff.
Anyway, watching this show really was an eye-opener. Its amazing how the kids were in control of the house/home and not the parents.
what a start to a new term
hmm... i think some colleagues might have been scared off by my horrible face expression these past few days. lack of smile, furrowed brows etc. judging by the way caili described, i think it must have been pretty scary. oh well. if there's one thing i suck at, its hiding my emotions from my facial expression. haha.
stress really is a horrible thing. i swear i looked like crap (my complexion was awful) the last couple of days man. even though today has been a long day, i don't feel so overwhelmed. must be getting into the swing of things. heh. anyway, i was so stressed i even skipped my lunch the past 2 days. luckily things looked better today.
on another note, Alinghi won the 4th race! woohoo!! now the series is all tied at 2-2. Go Alinghi!!
i can see a rainbow
i saw a perfect rainbow today! so happy. it was big and nice, pity didnt have a camera with us. sigh.
anger management
i need to stop being so vulgar. i need to learn how to take deep breaths when i'm angered. i need to...
nobody's perfect, me included.
oh yeah, my bro's on a poster at nsc. i love the photo of him cos it was rather well taken photo. well, thanks to sentosa and their sponsorship that we get to see his photo on one of their banners with the tagline, "We're proud to hoist your dreams." thanks also to shufen for the fantastic shot of him at laser asia pac. :)
singapore is a really small island. what are the chances of your VP and an ssf manager being acquaintances/friends? haha...figure that one out. things are looking good...need to make it work though. a lot of things to be ironed out. *fingers crossed*
quote of the day: "i have since stopped drinking. perhaps coffee or tea instead." LOL. so funny... Who will believe you??!! i wonder....

Discipline master, Donut Man or Dive Master? Heh. Its a no-brainer if you know what I mean.
Today was a great day. No prior plans, everything was done on the spur of the moment, and paid off. Highlight of the day was the taxi uncle charging me more than 1 dollar less than the "normal" fare... he was really nice. I don't feel like elaborating but suffice to say, you don't really find many of this kind of cabbies nowadays. It was simply beyond his call of duty. Really had integrity. Also, impromptu outing with M. What a pleasant surprise how everything went smoothly.... including the fact that "people issues" today were probably non-existent. All the kinks in the schedule and manpower deployment was ironed out nicely. no hassle whatsoever. Think the stars must be in perfect alignment today. Haha.
Bonus of the day: My bro passed his ppcdl theory on his first attempt. Cool! Way to go! Its all in the family haha. We are a family of muggers lol.
its funny how i was so sleepy in the car....but am all awake an hour later, after watching tv. weird.
monday blues?
Not really.... I saw plenty of people in town today...ok more like the city area, more specifically, the City Hall vicinity. A variety of people were hanging out in City hall today...sailors, fellow NIE trainees...
Anyway, my bro was feeling crazy enough to queue up for the donuts at donut factory at raffles city. So he spent close to 3 hours waiting before we were nicely rewarded with 2 dozen delicious donuts(out of which half a dozen were for his friend). It was quite an experience in itself. And for someone like me who hasn't tasted krispy kremes, this was definitely a good substitute. Of course, people who have tasted krispy kremes are adamant that they are the best donuts. I am easily satisfied. :)
today was a really interesting day....for now, i shall keep the details to myself. haha...
to someone: i hope that you come to realise that you are now facing the consequences of your own actions. unless you change your lifestyle, your health will continue to deteriorate. so my little prayer for you is to take your health seriously and examine your current lifestyle. love, me.
air your grievances here
sigh. today seemed to be a "air your grievances day". many people were complaining about things they were not happy about. human beings have a tendency to take things for granted. i think i should learn how to play "hard to get". i shouldn't be so easy going all the time. people always take advantage. tired of it already.
i'm sorry if this post sounds incoherent. i'm really tired.
dusty dusty
Just cleaned the floor this evening. With all the upgrading works going on around the neighbourhood, it was little wonder that the floor was so dusty. Yucks. I'm bushed....
I thought I was working hard, the workers downstairs in the adjacent block are even working harder. They were laying the cement in the void deck since late afternoon to early evening. They are still at it now. Wow. No joke man.
Why is it so hard for human beings to dish out compliments? So much so that we don't even know how to react when we receive one...
I think all families are dysfunctional in one way or the other.
crap. i closed the door on my left foot and my toe is hurting right now. almost took the nail off with it man.
time passes so quickly. i hate it. 2 weeks have just flown past and i only have 2 weeks of hols left. i really need to get started on work. sigh.
dad says he will treat me to a meal if federer wins. i highly doubt it by the looks of it cos he just lost the first set. boohoos. nadal is just wicked on clay. urgh.
now that the local anesthesia has worn off, i can finally feel my lips. haha. but i'm in a little pain now...sigh.
hmm...i wonder how much profit can a dentist make....
on a side note, i'm so hooked onto fairy godmother tycoon. lol. tata.
false alarm
and so i'm still in the same school, they just resent the posting letter with my correct ic no. on it. that's all. so dumb.
