::: Names :::

I sea-ri-ears-ly detest the name NICOLETTE and people who bear that insipid name!

Catfish and steak. The mountain of calories i built on saturday! 

::: Uncanny once again :::

Aite...something uncanny yesterday. Police guards were guarding the subway cabin doors inside...i'm not kidding. For a moment, I thought the train which i was on, was guna blew up.



I wonder if frequent Boxercise and Body Combat will flatten and tone one's tummy

:::

Down 1 big burden..3 more to go. I'm close to negative zero energy left after all these sniffing and sucking up paint and what not... =(
As i am taking a short break away from sniffing paint...kids are still struggling to complete their cw. I desperately need an angel to touch these kids' hands when the next burden arrive in oct. Any arty angels ard?

What a day to spend my long awaited public holiday. I thought it will never happened to me...squeezing and sweating buckets of water with the all so enthusiasting red n white fellowmen but it did. (I've to THANK Adrian for NOT forgetting to bring me into the mission with him )
Honestly...it wasn't that bad overall excluding the scorching heat and having to keep track of our playful lambs.

Exciting cca i was 'nicely' inserted to...hence the images of the event are right before yer eyes. These kids had no damn idea what was going on...the only thing they knew was to raise their flag and sway it from left to right when the time came. ha!

See what i mean...

Okay..so this is D place which i spent more than 12 hours at, D place which i communicate with people, D place which gets me all tired and beat, D place which had me work all morning til night.Welcome to my workplace (',)

::: Macbeth / Order & Run :::

A day of mothers tagging 60 plus children to watch a lit play brought slight confusion as alwiz. Anyhow...the local production Macbeth play was not too bad altho it wasn't that authentic but i thought it was creative of them to don in local army uniform and bride's gowns.Even the 3 weird witches did not look haggard and shrivelled.They looked and acted more like 3 sluts trying to seduce Macbeth...ha! I was surprised that the old english tone cud be spat out from locals' mouth but of cuz not very consistent..only Macduff (Jared Koh) was consistent and sounded genuine...Aaahhh Brit accent makes me go 'lala' =)

Yes...Finally a nite of perculiar happenings. Beats me why Wala Wala Cafe is SO that overwhelming.I mean..no air-con, no music,Television doesn't produce audible sound...YET there are countless crowd. Went there twice and we didn't manage to fit in with the wala wala society. Well,we did manage to fit in the 2nd time around.Sat and ordered our drinks with intriguing names.Aite...Pussy Foot,Slippery Nipples,QuikF*ck and sum German beer.(lol)
So while waiting,we tried to do sum chatting but sumhow we cudn't.We can't hear ourselves.Having a job which noise pollution is a strict NO NO...naturally we got peeved and we left. Next destination closest to a perfect silent place wud be watching a movie.Impulsive decision we made and there we called to book tix for a midnite show.Sped to woodlands to pick up our ring leader cuz movie starting in 50mins. Driving a manual gear with turbo engine is ace.

However...i don't know why but suddenly we were not keen to proceed to catch a show...So we fuk the whole idea once again.haha its juz a nite of 'ORDER & RUN' with confusion mind.
Even the place to have our supper was indecisive..resulting in bad karma. We had one of the worst meal. That's the life of a teacher!

...God Bless that King...
