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.

Also,
I hope I get to be what I deserve to be in Guitar Ex-co too.
On Thursday, as I was going home and crossing TPJ bridge, I saw Ms Fernandez. Or rather, she saw me. I smiled at her. She smiled at me. I was wearing my red specs, which Wee Shiun had trouble recognising me in at one point of time, and this Lit teacher said "Safiah! How are you? Are you having fun in MJ?" haha...I thought only students ask that to their friends...I didn't know that teachers take into account the fun factor too. Hmm...I was really shocked that a) she recognised me and b) she remembers my name! WOW! I think me always answering her questions and my participation in class must have left an impact on her...as self-appraising as that sounds. But now, reminiscing, Lit tutorials, and even lectures, were so much more fun back then. I think it's across the whole country. PAE was definitely fun-ner.
At night, h2 lit students went to Raffles Hotel Jubilee Hall to catch Hamlet. I went with Fazari, Nadirah and Shafiq. Met the other MJC-ians at the basement of Raffles Mall. We ate donuts..haha FUN! and soo...YUMMY! Anyhoos Hamlet is my first ever Shakespeare play. I didn't know what to expect really. But it was actually fun and interesting, despite it being very Shakespeare where plots and twists happen and some go mad and everyone dies. Kind of reminds me of Indonesian sinetrons like Hikmah. HAHA...Actually I think Hikmah is influenced by Shakespeare cos it's all VERY VERY DRAMA..but the actors were really good, especially Hamlet. He was very natural. He didn't make me think that he was acting. I think good actors...BE and not just ACT. I shall further elaborate on the similarities between Shakespeare and Hikmah. Both have cruel acts. Both are very drama. Shakespeare is VERY influential.
I wish Christina and Muhaina took h2 lit. Sheesh lah this JC doesn't allow them that combi. Oh and I spotted Krystal, Kikin and Jacqueline. Very unexpected...
And now, only 2 people are going for the cambridge programme for Lit. If everything goes well, I'll be going with Joan who has the same birthday as me. HOW COOL. I found out from Heidi that in CJ there are like 200 appicants or isit...20. But still, a whole lot more than MJ's 6. I feel kinda under-qualified for this programme. Like what if I don't represent MJ well enough and all the CJ ppl happen to be super damn powderful in drama and lit and they spurt out cheemanology..HEIDI...PLEASE PLEASE don't just be in reserve list. I wanna see you there so u can french braid my hair! hee..
Pictures...are with other people.
I felt so sick on Friday... I wanted to finish my work so I went to the library. Met Christina's class and went into the discussion/movie room with them. They put GREASE on, as in the movie ,while my nose was running and I was doing Maths. Ha-ha... GREASE LIGHNING!, Hopelessly Devoted To You...me and Christina should so do a musical. Heee...
* my baby brother is trying to climb on to me to reach the keyboard. He is extreeeemely fascinated with the keyboard. No? Maybe the fascination's with me. CUTE. Tho he is growing too fast for me to keep up...such is life in the present state...unable to keep up with anything ( news, hobby, family, my room, friends). The holidays are very much longed for...*
Then..after Functions Lecture, ate and drank hot teh-O. Then felt better. Then, I drank cold water from my water bottle and the sneezing explosion started again...sooo bought another cup of hot tea. Went to the study room and saw Siti who looked WORSE than me...and she had house comm interview in half an hour. She stubbornly refused to drink hot tea even though I offered to buy for her a cup.
I just tagged with Rika and Hirma. Met them in the library. Gave up doing PI cos of the drowsiness that consumes you when you're having runny nose. So I just sat with them and did Econs notes. Felt more productive like that.
I was all on time and everything but Joanna made me late for Guitar cos of miscommunication. AND the group I was walking with walked quite slow. You see, I am still enthusiastic for Guitar. Hee...
We were separated into groups and I was in Guitar 3. So our seating is temporarily permanent. Sheena, King, Wesley, JY, Vanessa and ooh..did I miss anyone. HAHA....these will be the faces I see around me every week. And again, many thought that I was a Chinese...hmm...no comments. HAHA.
Almost the whole j1 ensemble took the form for EXCO sign-up...Haiz.. while SOME people are stepping down and handing over, I'm just about to start... not even confirmed if I'll get it but I'll try my best cos I really want it...haha. Reminds me of Media Club Exco Elections last 2 years..
* i interrupt you to bring you this announcement: MY BROTHER HAS JUST LEARNT TO STAND ON HIS OWN!!!! ohhhh woweee!*
I think the two pieces that we played as an ensemble were not bad. The timings were still a bit...here and there...but overall YAY! we managed to produce beautiful music. It's really nice lah..guitar. HAHA! And then we watched the j2s play, a preview of their part for the TJ guitar concert, which I'm not going for. I can't wait to be in their position..HAHA...am i siao siao? (:..After that Darren asked if there were any feedback and I was saying something so Zhen Yan announced to the whole room "Saf has something to say" Haha...err..ok. I feel very amused when Zhen Yan calls me "Saf" haha.
I was complaining so much on how I was hungry... I really had pangs for Tuna Puff from TPJ Cafe. And one point of time I wanted to eat Old Chang Kee's curry chicken in that bun bowl. I was really really hungry...soo I sms-ed Sean. And he said he was still in school so I can come down and buy. BUT guitar practice ends at 6 plus so I told him what if Tuna Puff runs out, some more it's on a Friday. Then he said he'll buy it first. Hee...YAY! My craving was taken care of. I saw Felina while waiting at the side gate. Sean describes Felina as having the face of one who is electrocuted when she saw me. It's nice to shock people...hmm...he should see Zahida's face...all this drama and TSD people. HAHA. So Sean THANKS. Do I have to make it up to you...haha. It'll all be different when you go for NS next year...Hmm..hahha!
I still feel so young. Like not to the stage where I see friends going off for NS. Let's review this again next year.
XOXO
