happpppppyyy chinese new year! =D

this is going to be the last time my er jie is going visiting together with us! boohoo. but it means i'll have one extra red packet. heh!

cousins!

chinese new year didnt really felt like one. i rmb i used to be reallly excited about chinese new year like 10years ago. but now, its just another day. everyone feels the same too?

i finally got my root canal treatment done. ok, at least part 1 of it.

i made my way down to paragon, and my sense of direction just wasnt working well as usual =x went rounds around paragon before i finally found my way at the endodontic office. i was like realllly nervous i don't know why. i wore my 'legs-hugging' leggings and covered shoes, supposedly good to make me feel reallly secure and safe, but they let me down still. haha! loser. anw, it took a good 45 mins for the endodontist to clear the infection/inflammation and then its done. $890 for that. damn. i swear im going to scrimp and save for at least a few months.

and now i need to remove my wisdom tooth =x *shiver

met up with joyce for lunch at rider's cafe =D its such a ulu pandan place i would definitely not have gone without a car. so thankfullly joyce drove and we headed to our destination. a pretty nice place but would have been better if not for the crowd. it was sooo packed with people AND I DIDNT GET TO SEE ANY HORSES GALLOPING OUT THERE! anyway, the food werent too bad and it was still nice sitting there catching up with one another.

headed to joyce's place next. our initial plan was to go town to shop but we were just too lazy. ended up lazing around her place.

and she painted my nails! =D

watched movie, talked, camwhored and that sums up tuesday!

MY VERY TIRED BUT FUN WEEKEND =D

celebrated my cousin's 21st at a chalet =) headed over after therapy on friday and met up with my other cousins. it has been a reallllly longgggggg time since we all met up. so we went out for a drink at night and played like little kids at the playground =D

my sisters and cousins! short of 3 cousins who missed the fun.

and there werent enough beds to fit us all. ended up the younger ones had to sleep in sleeping bags while the adults took the bed. I SWEAR THE FLOOR IS HARD LIKE ROCK. I HAD BRUISES ON MY RIGHT HIP =X and i felt the floor was seriously dirty i cant seem to slp in peace. and i had to tip-toe when i go to the toilet because i just didnt wan my feet to touch the toilet floor =x (yea, im very particular about the cleanliness of toilet. i rather not pee than pee in a dirty toilet). the above probably excludes going for a camp thou. if its a camp, i probably just sleep and the dirty floor wouldnt be of any concern. is like when u know u have an option, u get all picky. right?

didnt stay for the second night at the chalet because we had to take some family shots for my sis wedding the next day. and thereafter, i had to rush to therapy again. i secretly feel proud of myself. HAHAHAHA! cox i had therapy for 3 consecutive days and i had chalet and family shots in between. to think i still had the energy to last me through therapy.

that day momo was really funny. he is toilet training now so he didnt had diaper on during session. so there was once he stood up and started walking around. suddenly he went....

momo: i want open door
me: *thinking its task avoidance so i went 'momo continue work!'
momo: teacher teacher i want open doooooor
me: continue work!
momo: i want i want open doorrr (desperately turning the door knob)
me: what do you want?
momo: *pause awhile. TEACHER! I WANT TO GO SHHH SHHHH
me: HAHA! *quickly open the door
momo: *dashed to find maid to go toilet

momo is really cute. its like he has his way of expressing himself, but due to the lack of language, words that he says can mean many things and sometimes we dun really get it and misinterpret him and thats what happen with the above convo.

OK IM FEELING SLEEPY NOW.

met up with bf after therapy and this was my dinnnnnerrrrr.....i swear the peanut butter was this <-------------------------------> thick. HAHA! abit overwhelmed by the generous serving of peanut butter, otherwise it was all good =)

ok nth else to say. my aim was to show the THICK PEANUT BUTTER.

for once, im at home the whole day! =) been going out almost everyday. and so, i get to have my own quiet time today. it feels good to just laze around at home and do things at my own pace. watching tv for 3 hrs, napping for 3 hrs, waking up for a cup of ice coffee and going for a run thereafter =)

semester is starting all over againnnn! last sem to go before i grad! cant really decide whether to further my studies or start working. prob cant get in for masters anyway, the latter might be a better option thou. but work where??!!

HAPPPPY NEW YEARRRRR =DDDD

perfect site for a good view of the fireworks with boyfriend (yes, im officially introducing you to my blog). hee =D

met up with my SW1101 (yes, 1101) friends =D the last time we met was like....at least half or one year ago! thats realllly long.

darren is the first among us to start working. SO BEING NICE, HE TREATED US FOR LUNCH =D yay! we were chatting and we realised how darren saw dawn and i through our uni life man. right from year 1 till now...like a daddy...hahah! its amazing how our friendship lasted all these while. how we still manage to keep in contact with each other despite all our busy schedules =) all thanks to sw1101 =D

left to meet fairies for dinnnnnner at indoor stadium! at last, the 5 of us could meet up!

ryl and na treated us to jumbo seafooood (my very generous friends) =D THANKS!

dinner was awesome and it felt like a family reunion dinner as we sat down for our meal. hahah! =) we have all grown up....and we said 10 years down the road, we will bring our kids out for meet up...coool...

birthday surprise for allena was a success =) yay!

quality time spent =)

photos from tgyc camp =D kind of miss the kids now that i look at the photos...

met up with baby for shopping and dinnnnnerrr!!! omg im damn sorry because i made her wait for me for like ONE WHOLE HOUR =X met up with dr so in school to discuss about analysis, hence the delay. sorrry babe!

we started snapping photos of ourselves after we bumped into a rat (i mean a real one) =x and joyce tried to scare me and SHE ENDED UP TRIPPING ON HER OWN FOOT....HAHAHAHHA! sillly.

dinnner part 2! part 1 was a pathetic half a popiah each....AHAHAHA!

my shopping only ended up with 2 pair or earrings, and new clothes for my chacha!

anyway! QUALITY TIME spent with joyce! YAY! =D hugs! and thank you for ur christmas carddddd tooo! =)

OMG IM DAMN TIRED.

tgyc camp ended last fri! =)) a new experience yet again! this time round, there were alot more overt and aggressive behaviour seen among the kids in my group. felt i could have better handled the situation. its funny because when i do therapy, no matter how the kid pushes his boundary, i can still remain firm and stick to the contract we set, ie having a clear consequence for every act. yet somehow, i cant apply the same when dealing with typical kids. i just cant bring myself to shout at the kids or to enforce consequences unless they have been warned many times. but yea, learning in process. but one thing for sure, i can better interact with the kids now compared to last tgyc camp. yay goood job! =D

anyway, i wasnt in good form during camp. of all time, i just had to fall sick during camp and my buddy was running a fever too. but im really proud because we pulled through and tried our best to put aside all our uncomfy-ness and lead the kids. welll done! =D

camp ended on fri afternoon followed by aar till evening. and to think i still have the energy to go out after that. tai li hai le.

therapy the next day but i was totally off form. headed back sch and nightmare began. OMG. i swear i had enough of codings and doing inter-rater reliability. spent like 3 days straight sorting through everything. everyone of us is probably stressed. stayed at starbucks 9 hours straight with ben n minqi yesterday to clear our inter-rater reliability. and its not helping when ppl raise their voices at me (yea, that explains for my previous post). im not well rested after camp, recovering from my damn infection, doing therapy over the weekends, chionging codings at home, slping late at night AND THE LAST THING I EVER WANT IS FOR SOMEONE TO RAISE HIS VOICE AT ME. you are probably stressed but im equally stressed too. called you early in the morning to ask u some stuff and all i got was 'I DON'T CARE'. fine. and when we met up, i don't even noe what u are peeved at and you just started raising ur voice. I REALLLY CANNOT STAND PPL RAISING THEIR VOICE AT ME!!!!! once you press that sensitive button, thats it. i broke down. damn. cried because i was realllllly angry and stressed and i don't get why must u add on to it. everyone else but you. it really makes me think and wonder.

i don't get it why people must raise their voice at others. i REALLLY REALLLLY HATE it when ppl raise their voice at me!

MY FIRST MAGNUM ICE CREAM! omg.

peppermint chocolate coffee. *slurp =)

YAY! EXAMS OVER!! =DDD

dinner with xinyi at holland v after our last paper ended! =)

the humongous portion.....

chatted with xinyi for like 5hrs straight! FIVE HOURS. hahhaha! we certainly can talk =)) ultimate QUALITY TIME =DDD

anyway, its like a burden off my shoulder when the exams ended. like finallly. too much of unnecessary pressure on myself. came to a point where i started thinking what am i studying for. i could just chill, do my minimum and graduate. does a second lower or upper class matter? guess its more of me trying to prove to myself that i can.

my patience was pushed to its limit during therapy yesterday. obviously i didnt blow my top on a young helpless child, but yea, i probably spent the entire 2 hours trying to get him to stop screaming. its funnny the way he test for ur boundaries. the more you want him to be quiet, the more he screams. the more he screams right into your face at such a high piercing voice you think you almost going to turn deaf. you gave the instruction for him to stand up and he just flopped himself on the floor and you repeatedly lifted him up over n over again, giving your instruction over and over again for him to stand properly. you cant seem to get his attention because he is simply drifting away or he just stare right through you. and again, you repeatedly gave your instruction, redirecting his attention to the task. sometimes it feels like a battle and you just need to show him that no way is he going to defeat you. only then will you get him back.

exhausted by the end of a 2hr session.

i just want to stone.

this sem doesnt bode well with my lousy eld grades =x sigh. cant wait for the semester to just end like NOWWWWW.

and im stuck with my 3000words assignment =(

roars.

Finally done with our group term paper and presentation =DD no more addictive behaviour assignments anymore till exams! yes!

im going nuts!

ever had a tooth that hurt so badly that u find yourself unable to slp? that you find yourself lying on bed and tearing because you are just so irritated by that damn tooth? that you find yourself waking up at 4am to study because the pain was so bad it only get worse when u lie down in bed? that you start to feel disgusted popping 4 panadols a day to kill the pain? that you wanted so much to do your work but you simply just cant concentrate? ROARS. omg. that was exactly how i felt the past one week. amazing how i survived through without having my parents and sisters think that I WAS DYING IN PAIN. suffering in silence totally =(

but yea. thank goodness the pain is GONE now.

don't know why i felt so depressed the past few days. the tooth probably contributed much of it but still....*shrugged

i guess we all have moments where we just want to cry =( and i guess im giving myself way too much pressure for dunno what reason. roars. time for a goooood run.

TADAH! the trios met up =DD this is supposed to be a continuation of the previous post.

it was damn amusing when baby and i was shopping at f21 and i was telling her....'hey u noe what! u can just buy u noe...because mj and i got u f21 voucher =D' and then her eyes opened like DAMN BIG and she went 'WE GOT YOU F21 VOUCHER TOO!' hahahhaha! our belated birthday gift turned out to be the same. heh. so we happily bought our skirts =)) and happily wore it the next day. hahahaha!
