CNY BBQ

YO YO YO..happy CNY hor...

This CNY was a memorable one for two reasons:

1. Nobody went to my grandma's house to visit her!!!!!(v. few angpaus).
Coz usually leh alot of relatives go to my grandma's house.
2. I went out to my friend Shao kang's house for two days in a row. 1 night for
a reunion chat(something like a pillow talk) and the other night BBQ!!!!

Okay okay...having a reunion with my friends was really fun. Well, most that were there were from 5S1 so i feel more like a fish in its bowl of H20. There was shao kang, kok wan, kuan fei, leow, kah wai, calvin , kee min and ME ME ME!! Although we were like having a bbq too bad for shao kang because he tak makan chicken wings and have to bbq hot dogs oni...Oh well he had fun..haha...AND...

i was so proud of my chicken wings(1st attempt). We had honey and butter to like give that special flavor and mine mine mine was the nicest. Looked nicest..tasted AMAZING. I know i know ...self praise is no praise but when when kah wai said his wings were so nice , Zhi Cong told him "Ceh 老馮燒的更美!!!" haha..so happy



Talking to my friends like make me realise how much they have grown and changed. Sharing their tales , their lessons learnt, their experience is like flipping through their dairies. It seems hey all have matured a lot and like met a lot of people......so good...some sell jewelery at POH KONG, Some relate their NS experience with us, some say promoter v. tiring(stand whole day and need to tolerate with customers)...some even say at NS there got people interested in them...WAH....banyak orang banyak ragam...你們真的長大了!!...
(too bad the some others could not join along..esp bing jian..i know he sure rindu those reunion days...and i know he has a lot to say!! if he is there makanan pun can finish easier!!)

so we kinda split into 2 groups where some players PS while some gambled. Well, if you know me well..wel..gambling is not my thing but PS also not very sesuai me ..but i like watched they play PS and was like super excited and noisy..haha...i was like...FIRE la..AIYO..射射射...(i was very loud)...and my friends were like " u so clever..u don't play"..haha...

thats all lor..v. fun leh..shao kang..i guess your house will be our "tapak reunion". thanks hor.

all also curi curi ambil only..

Back to school 2009

yesterday was the last day of school so me and some friends made up our minds to go visit out teachers plus treat ourselves with a CNY movie"家有喜事2009"(v.v.v.v.v.v funny)...haha...

Me, Calvin, Hoe and LZC went . Well, there were only 4 of us because we were like the 4 free ones, not working...very free...those that were lazying themselves around, my other friends either working or went to NS, so left us 4 lor. Among these 4, i was the only one from 5S1..the other 3 were from 5S2 ..hoped had someone from S1 to acompany me but..oh well..terimalah takdir

since school under renovation, teacher's room is now at the lower 6 classrooms(right beside 5S1)...OMG..at the teacher's room really met a lot of teachers...first teacher i saw was Pn Ooi and immediately we went to greet her..of course Pn Ooi remembers us and the first thing she said was"你們為是麼來wor?" aiya..come visit you all cannot meh...well, me and Calvin wanted to like chat with her but apparently she was busy chatting with Hoe(and it seems secretive..so tak mau ask so much)..suan lar..Next

If not mistaken we met Pn Tong next ..well even though she only taught me in F3 but like visit her a while lor ..den saw Pn Koogilam and like talked to her like"teacher, how are you ar? Fine?" really missed her raspy voice....She taught me Mathematics and she was really great..

next leh, i went to ask where was Pn Arasu was..before that she was like kept reminding me"hei..i want the photos...i want the photos" . Anywhere she saw me she would remind me...hei..photos ar..photos ar....and my friends would be like" you sure forget gela..." AND guess what here i am to prove them wrong..i brought the photos to Pn Arasu. Satisfied? And from Pn Arasu only i knew that Pn Daisy was about to deliver her baby...well..Grats ya..next time only visit you Pn Daisy..hope your baby is fine and healthy..haha

guess what? sitting beside Pn Arasu was Mr Tuen. Although i don't really like Chinese but must pay some respect to him ma..like...greet him lor.."段老師,新年快樂啊" and i saw Miss Poh...my chemistry teacher...haha...very happy leh..she and Pn Arasu even belanja me makan cookie leh...so good har...touched...心動..hehe

also greeted Mr Foo..but my only regret is not greeting Mr Yip and Pn Krishna...sorry oh..din't see you guys...btw...heard Mr Yip (class teacher)retiring in March so , all S1 guys...must go back ar..pay respect to him ma..

Oh Ya...how could i forget about Pn Ezan...saw her and the first reaction when she saw me was like..."why you change like that jor"..what wor..i where got change wor...i as just wearing a T-shirt..jeans...watch and a hand ornament..so simple lar..like say i am a lala like that..haha...so adorable lar...and that Mr Mong although he never teach me before he saw me and asked me "你為是麼穿上兩個鞋子在你的衣服?"...For God's sake..thats the design la.haiz...you all really think i am a lala meh..haiz

The similarity i found from all of my teachers was that they asked the same Quetion."what are you doing now?"...teaching tuition....hehe...i like v. playfully told some of the teachers"If you have any children can recommend to me ge ar.."..haha..and Pn lee(debate teacher) replied .."OK ar..teach Chinese la.."haiz....too bad..there was 1 teacher even asked me to teach in primary school tim..not bad idea...but anywhere still has vacancy?..hehe

seeing all the teachers make me really miss those old school days...5S1..love those days..btw..my NS friends are back for CNY....Great..haha...wish you guys the best oh...have a good rest..


(Have to give kudos to my friend LZC for starting his blog..Great JOB http://leongzhicong.blogspot.com/)

CNY here...

Ok..Chinese New Year is like around the corner and of course there were lots of preparations. Mum was like all nagging me to paint the gate...paint the table..clean the sofa.....well 1 thing at a time ok?...Cleaned the sofa and boy...my sofa looked OK...but guess what? i used like 6 pails of water to clean all the sofas and the water was like so dirty..alamak ...Never judge a book by its cover. And , to clean the sofa , a lot of scrubbing was needed and ...hope it stays clean as long as possible.

Ok..what do you think about when you say CNY? Angpaus rite? Dad also called me to help my grandparents to prepare the Angpaus for them. You know la..old people ..so helped ...but now i realised that inserting money into those angpaus aren't that easy if the angpau packets aren't those sticker type angpaus. Wait a minute if you don't get the picture.I wil show you. It was rather time consuming. So watched show(Oprah) while doing so...

The 2 Ringgit Angpaus.l

5 ringgit angpaus

on your right is the v. ma fan angpau(need to insert like a pocket to close)
on your left the angpau is the sticker type angpau..way better

Driving lessons today..haiz

today was my first driving lessons. Did not know what to expect. all my friends went through this process and guess what ? this is my time. My instructor was this Mr Beh. Apparently, my whole family(father,mother, sister) was under him. So....haiz

Ok..he first taught me how to change gears...ok...and we were like up n down and up and down..ok..again..change from gear 1 to 3...now...3 to 2....later leh he taught me about the clutch?...the brake pedal and the oil pedal(duno what it is caled)????

Those went quite smoothly..so we went driving lor...drive...drive..ok..change gear must step the clutch then adjust the gear den only step on the oil pedal.(must be gentle...haiz..) And at the same time when you step the oil pedal must not step on the clutch....should be something like that la....i did not know leh when step oil must be so gentle...i always step den got BOOM BOOM sound..haiz...ok lor

later we went gai gai..made some turns..great..mastered it then he took me to the slope. Slope i heard from my friends not that easy wor...that loh kee min duno fail jor how many times...ok..my turn...and boleh lah...i did it.

okok...den tried a few times...ok..berjaya..den leh he ar...went up the slope ..this time different jor...need to put the head out of the window and adjust till you reach the yellow line..sei yeh lar..got so many yellow line..which yellow line you are talking about, + i duno wheter its the same like the previous one..and i panicked..forgot everything and here i started to 'sei foh'....haiz

duno how ar...thats the end of my 3 hours of driving experience...sei mou..(apparently, calvin nga also experienced the same problem=same same la..lega hati)

Fridge dilemma

Guess what i have been doing these days...apart from some cleaning and lazying around in the house, i cleaned my refrigerator. OK, my fridge was like giving these 'Chinese sausage' smells and i was like...yeeeee....i hate Chinese sausages so i was like....'Dad ar don't buy and keep those Chinese sausages lar'. I may not like Chinese Sausages but the smell=terrible.

SO , my fridge was actually spoilt. not cold .Tthats why have smell lar...so, sent to repair. And, the bad news is underneath my fridge...guess what...dirty, lots of dust. And whos supposed to clean it? Me. And when tyhe fridge was ready...i cleaned it too...so happy that i have a clean fridge now...

love my life now....free and easy...hehe
I guess my frige is up for display now..hehe

Before

eww...and i cleaned it


After

and its so nice..right beside my computer...

freezer..so proud


guess who the cakes is for..

Teaching

just back from my first tuition class. haha...it was ok lar...kinda find it enjoying. The girl was adorable and the boy seemed rather afraid of me. Do i look scary meh? Did not know what to expect but i know now that i have to work had and they too have to do more to brush up on their language.

at first i planned to give the girl(standard 2) to name animals. There are pictures of animals and all she has to do is to name them.(etc: owl, camel, octopus). I though she should have knew these animals but guess what, she did not know the names. So had to teach slowly..later asked her "You know where a camel lives in?" she again tak tau. So i explained what a desert was and told her about Africa. Apparently, she did not know what a desert was.Haiz....explained slowly. Aren't i dedicated?..haha...later i taught her about the earth and the four directions :North, South , East ,West. i did not teach wat i initially planned but it just came spontaneously. Taught her some grammar too.

So, for the boy i have him some grammar exercise to do. He tried very hard. Unfortunately, it was wrong. I had to start from "He, She, It" have "s" . "I" "You" "We" "There" no "s"...all the basics. He is in standard 5 and he better work harder.hehe and i believe under my guidance, he shuld be doing fine. I like read with him to improve his pronunciation.

At the end of day, i reminded them to remember what i taught them as i was going to test them on Sat.....I seems so cruel but they have to put more effort.

However, teaching seems fun. Time flies. Enjoyed it....haha...So any recomendations?

Working hard.

Just helped mum to hang the clothes. OMG, tomorrow is the day, the day i will start my first day at work as a teacher. There are butterflies flying in my stomach now, nervous like a cat on hot bricks. Oh god, what to do. Teaching a standard 5 boy English and a standard 2 girl Malay+English may seem as easy as ABC but....i don't really know how to start.

What did i learn when i was in their shoes? Do they still learn ABC in standard 2? or 'suku kata' like b a ba, k a ka....haha.....English,what to teach first? Maybe start with some vocabulary? Should i give them dictation ? or even make them to memorize idioms..haha...a good teacher always plans his lessons before hand. As i was like clueless of the current syllabus for standard 2 and 5, went to Popular bookshop to do some research and BOY i was shocked.

i did not remember doing essays for my UPSR. All i remembered was making sentences using some words provided. Now, they have to make sentences and write an essay. Really shocked me. Plus, they are like doing some sort of EST essay where they have to make their choice given 3 goods and their information. How am i going to teach.

i was thinking, what if they were like not listening to me? what could i possibly do to control them. i ought not to treat them so seriously but how? Still planning their lessons but seriously considering the contents of my lessons. I may even plan to give the standard 5 boy an essay to read each lesson and make him memorise some vocabulary. Searching for some of my old books but will those books be too out-dated? i guess not. Oh well.

that day my father met Alex Wong(my Additional maths teacher) and that Alex ler...very busy body geh ask my father about me. Ask this , ask that. When he know i teach tuition say ' Good, Good'..haha....at least he still remember who i am. After all, i was quite a good student. hehe. During his tuition classes i remembered being scolded by his neighbours as i was making too much noise. haha..Those were the days. Although i do not like to do Maths but i really miss his tuitions, better visit him during CNY....

wish me good luck for tomorrow. Need to practice speaking more English now or not tomorrow malu.

I am ANGRY

I was happily watching the Mariah Carey 'Emancipation of Mimi' concert and i heard my sister shouting at me. Apparently, my hand phone was ringing and i left it in my bedroom. Oh well, i seldom receive phone calls or SMSs these days so i don't really keep my hand phone by my side as always.

When i answered the call, what i heard was, "I am angry." Fikiranku bergelora, jiwaku terapung-apung. What did i do to make this friend(Jin) angry with me?.....sei lor...that was what i thought....what i did....and my friend was like..."i was so angry...angry, so cari orang untuk merungut."

i was thinking what did i do wrongly this time. So, asked her "I din't say anything wrong, did't do anything wrong, why be angry with me?"

So, luckily i got to know that she was not angry with me and was angry with another person. Then why say " I am angry?" really menakutkan. I like ejek her balik "Hey, next time if you angry with another person say 'i am angry with a person' and don't be like i am angry la, makes me misunderstand that i am the cause of your wrath.haha......' ...just like that...

Haiya, speech can either break you or make you. Be careful of how you present your speech. Hehe....anyway, Astro has been amazing for this new channel 808(Fiesta) featuring concerts of amazing singers(Boyzone, MC)...really v. seronok to watch these concerts....hehe.....hope this channel can stay free forever...don't take it away from me....I beg you, keep me entertained.

p/s: Jin: Don't be angry har...just play play
