hola!

beunos dias, como esta? yo estoy muy bien. y tu? como te llamas?

hahaha! yeah, it's spanish...i just took up spanish lessons and last friday was my first lesson...have been wanting to learn a 3rd language for the longest time and finally, i surfed the internet and picked up the phone, paid the amount 315 and viola! i'm learning spanish....

was actually expecting to see a cute spanish teacher who look like this:

unfortunately or maybe fortunately ( so i can really concentrate on the class), my teacher is a female who looks like a chinese but is actually from Peru. when she first walked in....i was like.." what??!! i paid 300 to get a chinese to teach me spanish? she better be good if not i'm so going to scream at the coordinator of the course!!

basically my class is rather huge...around 15 persons..and i must say most of them look like students..college students....and i have a strong hunch that they are from SMU and has plans to go on exchange program to Spain..haha and because of this, i felt really really really old...*sob sob* and i hope they are not too fast learners if not i , this auntie, cannot catch up sia...but thank god, so far so good...

there are 2 very interesting people in m group which i must comment on...

there was this girl...she seemed to be from PRC..when the teacher asked if any of us have any spanish exposure, we all shook our head except for this girl..she said.." oh, i've been learning spanish for the past 6 months as part of my school's ciriculum " so my question is...what the fark are you doing in a basic spanish class? too much time and money? and she does seemed to know basic spanish and she seemd to be able to hold a spanish conversation with my teacher...weird...

then there's this man...he came late and he sat next to me as that's the only available seat left..and when our teacher asked us to practice by speaking to each other..he said this to me..." i'm learning french, italian, a bit of german too..and personally i dont think it's necessary to learn how each individual alphabet sound.. i usually just made notes on how to pronounce certain words...blah blah blah blah " hello???!! did i mention that i was interested to know what you're learning and how you're learning a new language??? and then we were sort of praciting with each other by speaking in the simple spanish that we've learnt...and there as a part that we have to asked each other's telephone number...he told me.." i think we dont have to ask each other number right? " oh my gawd...do i look like i'm even interested in his name? do i look like i am desperate to know him and get his telephone so that we can develop our relationship? do i look so desperate to him? puh-leese, i shown NO SIGNS of interest AT ALL..and to this ridiculous question that he posed to me..i answered.." eh, i think the teacher meant for us to use the nubmer that she has put on the board for us to practice and not asking us to ask each other for our numbers right? " hahaha! he went speechless...seriously, i think he's thinking too much...

am actually quite excited for my next lesson...but need to practice my spanish as my teacher said there's going to be quiz..dont want to be the only auntie who fail the quiz! by the way, i tried practicing to some of my friends and they kept laughing non-stop..guess i do speak with a strange face and accent? HAHA!

give me a break!

seriously, i do not understand why do i always have to faced guys are who either jerks or assholes? from what i can remember, i am always being annoyed by guys ever since i'm in my teens..guys are always making me the butt of their jokes, saying things that they dont think are hurting but yet it hurts and treating me like some piece of crap...

GUYS, GIVE ME A BREAK! I'M A GIRL AFTERALL! CAN YOU GUYS AT LEAST GIVE ME SOME RESPECT?

okay..i'm not exactly pissed..but the other day..this ex-colleague of mine who will soon be my colleague again pisses me off big time...maybe he thinks i'm interested in him and so he can "manipulate" me...maybe he thinks he's really very good-looking and attractive..seriously, i dont know why he harbors such thoughts...when none is true AT ALL!

one Sunday afternoon, this is our exchange of smses:

H: i'm boredM: so? go find your gf H: i'm in potong pasir waiting for her to get ready M: then continue to wait. i'm not at your disposal H: no lah, i'm in potong pasir and you live so near.. M: no, it's not that near..it's a 10 mins drive H: okay la, you can be substitute gf M: haha! very funny..

WTF??? do i look like i want to be? and what's his problem?? seriously get a life...

then the other night...he called me but i didnt pick up as i was having dinner...then this is our exchange of smses:

H: you didnt pick up my call H: call me M: no..i'm watching tv now..
H: call me M: i said no..i'm watching tv... H: fine

*** at this point i got pissed with his rude reply***

M: what is it? i already told you i'm watching tv..and have told you i'm not at your disposal! H: chill okay. got something important to ask. dont worry i wont call or text you anymore. M: if it's so important, you could have texted me about it or just tell me that you have something important to ask and i would have called you. anyhow, whatever bye!

i was sooooo farking pissed!!! what' s his blardy problem? what important stuffs does he want to ask? seriously, he always ask me VERY boliao questions like.." do you think i should marry this gf? ", " do you think i should rent this house? " " do you think i should stay in singapore or go back to canada? " what's his farking problem??? all these are NONE of my concerns...*argh*

anyhow i think he's good riddance for now..haha!

O$P$

sometimes, i dont know why some people are soo not automatic...3 weeks ago, a team leader borrowed 40 bucks from me and another colleague EACH because she didnt have enough cash to pay for somethings which she can claim from the company...i mean logically, she should pay me back as soon as she could right? but she DIDNT! so i reminded her and guess what she said? she said..." yeah didnt forget la, will pay you guys first..the expense would take a while to get approved and reimbursed... " i mean seriously, of course she has to pay us back FIRST!! is she going to wait for that to approve before she can pay me the 40 bucks? come on..this is MY MONEY and now she's taking away my spending power just because her expense is not approved?even if it's not approved..she still has to pay me back the money...what's her problem?? seriously...you can call me stingy....yes i dont care...but please give me back my money!!!

what national day means to me...

it's national day today!! happy birthday singapore!!! hee hee hee...actually am quite ashamed of myself because i feel that i only feel patriotic on 09 August every year..hahaha! but actually, national day has a different meaning for me since young...

Age 1 to Age 6... i cannot remember National Day at all..hahaha! sorry but i guess i must have spent it watching the national parade on tv...

Primary 1 to Primary 6... i can only remember that every year, we would have to make our own Singapore flag and then we would have to wave to the songs (Count on Me, Singapore, Stand up for Singapore, We Are Singapore, One People One Nation One Singapore...oh man, i missed those songs!!!) during National day... and i remembered i always want to be one of the flag wavers on some platform leading the student body..but that dream never come true..haha!

Secondary 1 to Secondary 4...nothing much was remembered here for national day...maybe only the holidays and the celebration that was held in school...and of course the songs singing...did i have to wear red on that day to school? *shrugs* cannot remember....

JC 1 to JC 2...most exciting National Day of my life..i was part of the pre-parade show and was in the cheerleading group...it was very fun and very interesting..we got to practice our routines and the national stadium is like our second home..but we get to know other people from different JCs and the army guys are pretty cool too..haha! one of them even fell in love with my friend..and my friend and i was soo mean to mislead our teacher-in-charge to think that he's interested in her instead...haha!

University Year 1 to Year 3...somehow, during these 3 years..i ALWAYS have free parade tickets..haha! i reckon this is because my JC friends are in army and then my brother was in army and so i always have parade tickets..so all i can remember is spending my time at the stadium, singing "Majulah Singapura" to the flying flag...

Now...national day is just another holiday for me... a holiday which i needed badly...because there's not much holiday from June to October...no more interest in the national parade..no more interest in the new national songs...i thought they sounded really weird...haha!maybe i'm getting old and nostalgic..haha!

oh well...majulah singapura!!!

i lost my harry potter chamber of secrets!!! *argh*

i was trying to find my set of harry potter books this morning because someone wants to borrow..but i CANNOT find my 2nd book!! i searched high and low for it....HOW HOW HOW? so irritating...i'm really very sad now...if i wer to buy a new book, it's way too new, doesnt fit with the rest of my books...sighz..so frustrating!!

anyhow, i think i'm becoming a pedophile..hahaha! *joking* recently, if anyone were to check my internet's history...i've been yahoo-ing a lot of kids...daniel radcliffe, emma watson, zac efron, vannessa hudgens, etc...hahaha! and i lost my High School Musical 1 CD...so irritating...i think i'm going to buy another one and will buy High School Musical 2 CD and DVD too..hahaha!

anyway, i thought this is pretty cool:
