BAHH
I don't think I had a peaceful sleep. Kept waking up to check my phone. For a haha reason.
The first time I woke, it was 2am. Got a message.
Then I woke again at 5 am.
I'm supposed to wake at 6 am. My alarm is supposed to go off at 6.
I slept until mum woke me up for Subuh. AHH it was 6.50+ already!!!! GAHH! Why didn’t the alarm ring WHY WHY WHY?
Looked at my phone....
Oh.
I set it at 7am. NYA! I must have been too sleepy yesterday night and pressed 7 instead of 6 when setting alarm. GRRtoot.
Wasn’t a restful sleep. It’s those type where you keep waking up and you feel like you only slept for maximum, 1 hour. I woke up and had puffy eyes. I have no idea why. I put on St Ives Eye Gel. Ooh. Nice. That feels better.
But, cool, cool. I’m not late. I had time to eat breakfast, play with Ilhan for a bit and wait for my other brother to. Adik had soccer so he wanted to go Bedok Interchange to meet his friends for soccer match with Fuchun Sec. Knowing that I’ll be taking MRT, he changed his plans of taking bus to take. Aww… still can squeeze quality time with Adik.
I took 7.45am train and arrived at Orchard Station at 8.15am. I have 3 more days till my library books are due. So I’ve been trying to make travelling time, reading time too. Bahh.. so many books so little time. I think I still have 3 more books to read! GAHH!
Yesterday, I was early so I sat on the MRT towards Pasir Ris so that I’d get to seat all the way to City Hall Interchange. I was feeling sick too yesterday so I just slept the whole journey. I think it really helped me feel better the whole day yesterday.
And Jenny just plonked a cup of something liquid and hot on my table.
“What’s this?”
“It’s for your throat.”
“Oh. Orh, thanks!”*Jenny sits back to seat**I take a peek at the drink. Hoping it’s not coffee cos I don’t drink coffee. Now come to think about it. Coffee’s not really for the throat is it? HAHA. Oh lookeehere…it’s LEMON HONEY!!! AHHH. Jenny’s da BOMB! WOO**“Thanks so much Jenny!”“No problem.”
I think she may feel a tad guilty for passing germs to me. Poor Jenny. YIKES. I hope she gets better soon. Coughing away…
I haven’t logged on to MSN while working for 2 days. I don’t want to start now anyways.
I need to type out notes from the meeting, which looks very menacing cos it looks so pro and the members all want the minutes so it all depends on me. WAHHH. 0.0 And after lunch, got to continue with the article search. Got my first draft of the summaries back. Need to make some changes.
Howells, let’s see what today will bring.
AND,
HAPPY 18th Birthday SEAN! (:
Singapore misses having a Sean Ang Hong Da on it’s land. NYAHAHAS.

In the morning, the meeting we prepared for commenced. Lay Hong and me had to arrange the tables and chairs cos the room we booked didn't have them. Yikes. We managed to make the room look meeting-ly. Then I had to take down the minutes of the things discussed. Very interesting...but there was so many things that they wanted but there's not enough resources I guess. Haiz. Refreshments was nice. Especially when I still feel a bit flu-ey and teh tarik was so sedap. Just like how it's supposed to taste. (:
Today, had lunch with Jenny, Sook Ching, Lay Hong, Dennis and one other Guidance Officer. Then, a teacher from Geylang Methodist joined us. He was there for training. There was a loooot of stuff to be said by them. WOO it's just interesting to sit in and listen to them back n forth. Sook Ching is so cute and funny. HAHA she makes me laugh a lot. And there are some stuff which they ask me not to bring back to my friends cos it's kinda "bad image" but it's kinda the truth too. Then they'll say "You did not hear that ah!" haha...
So I sent in my first draft of summary and now I have to finish typing out minutes for the notes, do article search for curriculum infusion & integration and get back the drafts and see what I need to do. Work gets tougher but I really learn a lot. (:
After work, met with MJI cos they finished their picnic/bday bash at Botanic Gardens. Called Jannah. Didn't know where they were going cos they just exited the place. Called Fazari. Next time, I should really NOT call Jannah cos she just follows them. WaHHAH. Jannah ALWAYS does not know where they're going. So I told Fazari to go Wheelock place but they missed the stop so I met them at McCafe at Lido. Just sat a while and chatted for around an hour. Farouk, Fazari, Azrul, Jannah, Musfirah, Wida, Munirah and Siti. They ordered some drinks but I wanted to save money. HAAH. And I wanted to go home early cos tomorrow there's work still + I'm a bit sick + didn't want to miss Maghrib. It was nice seeing them after not seeing them for so long. Got used to seeing them on weekdays.
Tomorrow's OGL camp and I can't go. NYAH!
I feel better today from the flu. But Dennis and Jennifer who sits in the cubicles in my section are all passing around the virus. WAHHHH... so I drank plenty of water and equipped myself with Strepsils Vit C and I drank the Vit C that mum bought from the Homeopathy clinic. WOO. I hope I'll be safe. I ALWAYS am the one of the first to get sick. HAIZ...

i'm tired.
i'm sleepy.
i feel sick.
Pamela just called and said that the Ex-INCrowders are invited to join the annual end of year trip and this time it's to KL. It costs S$400. I just want to go for the company. I've seen KL in and out. THE STAR would most probably be like the ones that we saw in Bangkok and Beijing. Nya... I want to gooo but we're not subsidised anymore. I'm working but I'm not getting paid. I want to get a laptop. I shouldn't go. But I want to go. But Liyana's not going anyway. AH I shouldn't go. I've been to KL millions to times. So. What else is there to see is there? The schools? I know what they're like.
I want to ask for early leave. I want to sleep...but I gotta cut these name placards. Well then, I guess it's good that I'm just doing manual labour, which doesn't require the use of my brains...
**ahh my mucus turning to a sickly colour**sheesh my cubicle below the aircon..nyaaa.
ok so what good and nice and happy things happened today?
1.My mentors brought me to Botanical Gardens' foodcourt to eat. One of them lent me her Civil Service card so I got 10% discount of food.
2. Someone complimented my dress. Love it. The last time someone complimented my top was my Lit teacher, John, in Cambridge, UK. WAHAH. Never had a man say that my top was unique and nice. HAHA... must be the English people. Or must be my horrible dressing sense? No actually I think I dress well enough. haahahaha.. howells, it is nice to be complimented. It is nice to give out compliments. I don't think I'd shy away from complimenting my friends or sometimes, close teachers but an acquaintance... I don't usually do that. HAHA. And I don't compliment people so that people can compliment me.
Oh it's 6pm already. I can leave now. But I think I'll finish up this post. NYAHAS.
3. I was introduced to the Deputy Director. She's niiice. They're all very caring here and very nurturing.
HAHA.
One of my mentors, Jenny just asked me if I've considered a degree in Teaching and I said, " Well it came across my mind." and she replied, "Don't think!"
"What do you mean? You mean, just do it?"
"Yes, but for your age, hrmm.. ok la think la"
Seriously though, there is a shortage of Teachers out there. I remember in Secondary school, Sec 2 especially, our class kept having relief teachers it was so frustrating.
Still, the teaching career has become much more dynamic now. There's a lot of opportunities to grow. (: But a large part of my family are teachers. And 2 are becoming lawyers and one wants to go into the medicine after NS.
Gosh gosh, so many options... what to do what to do?
And erm, one of the Specialists thought I was a teacher, and Jenny thought I was J2. WOOAHH. Actually, am used to it. HEE HEE.
Ok.

Woo.
Had to reach at 8.30am. Got out of house at 7.15am.
Reached quite early but cos I got lost... so I reached just on time... kept walking and walking, passing Borders, all the rich ppl's houses and then... TEACHER'S NETWORK. YAY YAY YAY. Haha.. Though, erm, Sean's directions didn't help much. Nyahaha. nevermind, i forgive you. Cos you just kinda woke up.
So, first assignment, READ what Mental Health and Social Emotional Learning is all about. So that at the end of the week, I can summarise it and they can put it in the Holistic Health Toolkit. NYAHAHAS... Somehow, reading it all, I felt that I have seen all the content somewhere before. All these about taking care of your mental and emotional health.
Also, there was a case study.. HAHAHAH. It was very coincidental and all that. I have my own cubicle. YAY! and my own computer. YAY! and my own telephone... but I don't use it.
Office location is quite... far from cheap food places. Colleague says cafeteria not nice so she brought me to Nasi Padang at River Valley. Her name is... *drumroll**** SITI SAFIAH!!! ahahahaha... wahhaha. I've met a Siti Safiyah before. She's working there but cos she's the youngest so she thought we could get along together. I guess first days are usually the quietest? But I guess I got the feeling that we can't really click. HAHA. Though she works in admin and I work more closely with the psychological resources part. So we don't work together.. ho humm. But she showed me Great World City, which is kinda 'great'.
After lunch, did Excel stuff...Ctrl + F is my best friend today. WHOOP DE DOOP. But I was so hungry the whole time I was sitting in that office cubicle. Is it me? or is the office? or is it the fact that I was sitting so still. How could I get hungry? I didn't even do that much right? Besides sitting still and doing work?
So, I am quite happy that I only have 2 weeks of this. If this is my real job I think I may want to cry. Unless I have a stash of chocolates/old chang kee curry puffs, then I would be happy. I was thinking of the Cadbury Boost I left in my fridge and how I wished I brought it along with me. Oh and the Cadbury Fruit and Nut bar.... I'll bring it tomorrow. GOSH me ah..Oh and I would need those osim massage chairs. Or one for the head. WOOTS.
But my mentors are all very nice. Though one of them said, "Thank you sooooo much for coming in. We really need help around here". I was kind of scared at that. HAhA. But then, my cubicle neighbour said, "No lah, don't worry, we will sayang her." hahah so cute.
But they really look busy. They were rushing in and out of the office.
Also, I was too caught up wanting to finish one section of my collating stuff that I didn't realise EVERYONE in the office was gone except me. And ALL the lights and aircon were turned off except my part. WAHHHH. So I hurriedly packed my stuff and switched off the computer. GOSH. Kind of scary when it's all dark...
YEEKS
ok anyways, I'll send the pic of my cubicle frm my phone. Toodles.
I'm really tired cos I had an empty stomach and it was cold and then it was raining outside so I got even colder and THEN i think I DID stretch some when but it wasnt enough.
Haiz...
