I'm back! OMg...my last entry was beginning of NOV!!! And it's almost dec now.
So what have i been up to?
Some brief updates?
Knowing my super lousy memory, actually i can't really recall what i've been doing.All i know is that i'm so freaking busy.
1st of all, work has kept me very busy. Like i've mentioned before, no time to go toilet or refill my water bottle. Slowly, i'm clearing my things. Clearing doesn't seem like the right word to use. In actual fact, there's NO CLEARING. Everyday there are new things, and they are never ending. If i don clear some thigns today, tomorrow will be worse. I just doesn't wan to sabotage my own self. I enjoy my work. Hardly the kind of things i'll say right....this coming from the mouth of a tai tai wanabe. But of cos, i'm not giving up my dreams..goals of becoming a tai tai ! Nothing beats not working. haha..but so far, i'm pretty happy bcos i get to wear nice clothes everyday, and i ...still enjoy my work and my colleagues are fun.
I've also been really really busy at one point trying to set up the website for my instructor.
www.fantasydanceworld.com. I had volunteered to help revamp his site. Why? bcos he's been really nice to me from day one, paying for my things, shoes, clothes, and free lessons. Only 2 years on, then i realise how nice he's been to me and start to really appreciate. I count my blessings. I can only say, God led me to him and vice versa. Of all the dance schools that i could have gone n learn dancing, Hsiaolin has to pick his class. It wasn't even a school. It was just a place he happened to b asked to teach. I was also occupied with coming out with a flyer for him to promote his classes. If you think the website looks awkward, well, that was just something for now, it was really all very last minute work. And alas, they kept me till 1 or 2 am everynite, it was such a tiring two weeks for me. It's time like these that i wish i could die or something, so that i can just sleep without a care in the world. But how to sleep? Have to still keep up my performance at work. And i still have dancing. I even had to give up going to my friend's church wedding to make time for last minute work for the website. And then go for dance rehearsal bcos the next day Sun, we have a performance at Frontier Cc. It was something that we really was depending on, to recruit new 'blood', as in new students lar...fresh faces etc. Many pple of the dance circle would be there you see. Not to mention the rehearsal was at amk hor. Of cos i took cab. Are there any other transports around? haha..
After that, oh...yes there WERE other transportations! Albert and i took train down to Kallang. Was to meet Deying, Xiaohui and Mei to celebrate my belated bday. That reminds me..i've to tok abt my bday.
ANyway took a train down to Kallang. That's small case lar. I go to Paya Lebar on every Tues k. What's Kallng to me. Why the hell i go to Paya Lebar...so far......bcos i have to go there to learn competitive Latin Cha Cha class!! Did i mention that before? Aiyah i don wan to repeat whole story. The 2 mth's course was ending 2 weeks ago. And i tot my misery has finally ended. I don't detest the class. I love the class. It made me want to improve on my dancing. It made me grow. And i've made new friends. BUt the idea of travelling to Paya Lebar and back every week is a put off. Not to mention the class only starts at 9 pm LOR. That means i reach home at wat time ah? Aiyah i tell you all lar. It's 11.30pm ok. Wash up, bathe..tok to my mom, tok to my angel. There you go. It's 1 am again!!! Bleah.
BAck to the Geylang topic. Albert suggested we take to Kallang mrt, then walk. And then i found out we were meeting them at Lorong 35 Geylang. As you may know, right outside Kallang MRT, that's Lorong 1 Geylang. 35 streets. I wasn't complaining much. FINE With me that i have to walk 35 streets down Geylang to reach that good food dear Deying recommended. Plus she doesn't know any landmarks (with so many freaking hotels, it's hardly surprising...) so she can't pick us up. So we walked. I started to whine only becos i saw the population of raging testerone. Blame it on my mom and her upbringing. I hate men. I hate the sight of male species congregating. ANd i hate especially the way they check women out. Men are just disgusting. When they are young, they are probably better to look at, easier to accept, not as disgusting. WHen they are older, their bad habits overshadow wat's good abt them. Wait a minute....got anything good abt them meh. Disgusting.
I feel dirty even if they cast mi just one glance. Yew. Ok that's over reacting. I saw some checked me out. And i felt like i needed to go home n give myself a good scrub and bath all those disgusting watever away. Yew.
SO when i finally reach Lorong 35, i almost just wanted to go home. But that's the quieter part of Geylang already. Nothing much happening.
After that meal, we went to Changi Airport haha, drank coffee at starbucks and chatted till 2+am. I reached home ard 3+am, bathed,packed my stuffs for the next day's performance and sleep near 4am. I had to wake up at 9am. Simply put, i didn't have much of a gd sleep. In the middle of the nite, my book shelf nailed into one of the wall actually dropped! So the books were all over the place and it woke me up bcos that was quite loud. But i went back to sleep cos i was too tired to bother abt the books. WIth barely 5 hrs of sleep, i went to Frontier Cc. Before i slept, i told myself, that i must NOT be tired the next day. WHen i woke up, i told myself that i'm all excited and ready to go. So i kept myself in that prime state of mentality. Tho i was dead tired, and being tired really affects your dancing. I need to be light, bcos i have some flips to do. IF my body is tired, it's will become heavy and of cos that won't be nice. I prayed for strength, and for everyone who was going to be performing. As in a group of us performing, but i'm taking two solo dances with my instructor. It was fun. Everything went really well. Best part was, this was one of the BEST performance that i've ever done, the most satisfied so far. And it was really against all odds. By lunch, our performance were over. Went out for lunch and back to the Cc again bcos my instructor had been invited to judge the competitions that were lined up for the rest of the day till 10pm. I stayed on till 4pm to juzt accompany him. Then i went home. HE stayed till 10pm. Both of us had little sleep the nite before. So with this thing sucking our strength dry, the rest of the new week were so difficult for us, at least for me. Very tired.
As for my bday, It fell on a Thursday. But i celebrated with Albert on the wed, thinking my mom probably will celebrate with me on Thursday. But she didn't. She jsut treated it as any other un-extraordinary day. Boohoo. Wed we went to Amici restaurant at HV. 5 course dinner. It was rather cheap, bcos HSBC card gave 1 for 1 discount. On Thursday itself, Albert and i have to work on the flyer for my instructor and the performance music. So..my actual bday was...so-so. There's no big deal actually. I don't really care abt bdays. And i don't really feel like it's my bday as well. Just upset that my mom never cared. She oso never give me ang bao!!!! BOOHOO. MY instructor has the same bday as me, on Tues, i gave him a treat at Crystal Jade at Parkway Parade. Y was i there? Bcos the exact location of the latin cha cha class is just opposite PP. So it's not paya lebar? Yes! It's not!! It's even further than freaking paya lebar. So we ate 50+ dollars there. 5 days later, my mom's bday. I treated her to Diao Xiao Er in Vivo. Another 50+ dollars. So there you go. I'm kinda broke. Thanks to my huge insatiable shopping urge and luxurious eating habits..oh and cabs.
I really think im a tai tai hor. I'm just stressed. So when i'm stressed, i wana buy things, especially clothes, shoes, bags. My mom warned me to stop buying shoes. And i can't blame myself for my eating habits. not like i really want to. It's juz that the places around my working place, the food all cost ard 4-7 dollars, sometimes i spend even more. HOW to survive u tell me? The canteen food really sucks. PGP (one of nus's hall) food aint better. How to eat!!!
SOBS.
And yes i'm broke.
I even have to kooped 200 bucks from my mom's account 1st. Today is supposed to b the payday. Hmmm....... i've a whole list of things i wanna buy leh. And a whole list of thigns i have to pay for...my credit bills. Damn. It's really a bad idea to have credit card. Don't you think so Deying?
And Albert started work at Insead. That....i feel...is truly the bday present that i need. His actualy birthday present for me on that day was.....argh. Long story. bleah.
That's less than 4 hrs of sleep for the two of us! And i don't look like i lack sleep right? Except for a little eye bag and dark circles there, that i tried to conceal with concealer aldy. It's amazing what your mind can do.
And that's me, discussing big plans with instructor when i'm all tired...i'm a good helper.
