Gave my first ever tuition on Saturday.
Subject: Chem
The guy told me that if he does not get a B4 for his upcoming Chem test on Wednesday, he would have to drop the subject. Quite sad actually cause I really think I can help him in the long run to get an A. Cause he's a smart guy =) But I think he has a sad life. Apparently he is a national swimmer and he swims day and night.
Hope that he can get the B4 that he needs, and we will see how to proceed from there.
Got another upcoming tuition this Sunday.
Subject: H2 Math
The girl is from the Integrated Programme at Dunman High. Why does she need tuition? =(
I got a horrible feeling for this, because my math really sucks. I got to where I am now through mere hard work, not intellect!

This week
So Friday was my last day working at Popular! I'm finally liberated! I was crazily happy the whole day! Did all the things that I'm actually not supposed to do- eat an egg tart in the office when it's not yet my dinner time; talked (a lot more than last time); sat down on the floor while I was returning all the stocks to the vendors; didn't mop the floor properly. Yeah, you get the general idea. Didn't tell anyone that I was leaving, except for some of my cool colleagues and some of the part-timers. So here's to my new job next Monday at nanyang poly. :)
Wednesday's the day when sm, jz, elisse and I went teohenging. Elisse got a voice that will make you go WOW! Her switch from low pitch to high pitch is definitely amazing woah! Project superstar/ singapore idol/ don't forget the lyrics; here she comes :)
Today's the day when sm and I went mapling. Started to queue up at 7.30am and we managed to see Dr. Ong at 3pm. I guess we were quite lucky cause we were the last three patients who were allowed to see here. :) Hopefully, my skin will be better by the end of this year, cause I want a nice complexion like fan fan. It's really not fair why some guys get to have flawless complexion! :) I shall remain optimistic :)
Then rushed home after buyinh $148 worth of medicine to do my cpf stuff. Luckily sm enlightened me to opt out of the dps insurance scheme.
My goal for the remaining month of Feb:
- to drink more water.
- apply all my medicine religiously.

Tagged
Tagged by Zhi Lin; and so here's some weird stuff about me. I shall not do the complete 25 list though...shall just stop when I cannot think of anymore :)
1. I'm totally in love with the song by Iron& wine: Flightless Bird, American Mouth! That's one of the nice tracks in the horrible movie- Twilight.
2. I need to listen to my playlist of "lullabies" before I can fall asleep. And the above song is in my playlist!
3. I suffer from insomia. I sleep at random times like 3am and wake up at horrible times like 12pm during holidays.
4. I prefer to watch movies alone then with a crowd.
5. When I'm sad, I will go and watch a movie on my own.
6. When I need to think through something, I will sneak out at night, go to the playground downstairs and stone by myself.
7. I'm getting addicted to running in my attempt to lose weight. I love running at 10pm at night...i love the night brezze. :)
8. I don't have a favourite colour. It depends on my mood.
9. I want to take a hiatus after I graduated, do some travelling and backpacking; before I start to work. My parents say they can lend me some money but I have to repay them with interest included.
10. I'm already thinking of retirement although I've not started work yet.
11. I enjoy books, good food and nice music. So I'm thinking of combining all these three together to start up something after I've retired.
12. I have a phobia of singing in front of an audience, although I was in a choir once. That's why the last time I went k-boxing was in Sec 2. But that shall change cause I'm going teo heng today with the girls!
13. I love english songs more than chinese songs. I love listening to 987FM cause of the totally wacky programme "Muttons at Midnight"!
14. I've watched 13 movies in the past week, NOT on youtube and NOT even spending a cent :) That's the only benefit at the place I'm working now.
15. I miss my JC life.
That's it. I shall not tag anyone else.

My mundane working life
And so I have worked for almost 2 months at Popular. Really miss the good old days at TJ :) Planning to quit on 6th Feb, though I do not know how to tell my boss. But the silver lining is that She (the boss) absolutely hates me after the-supposedly-reading-book-while-wrapping-books incident, which is a horribly long story. But there's one good thing that's come out of these two months: I realised how important it is to get a job that gives you the satisfaction, the drive and motivation to keep you going everyday. No offence taken, but I cannot understand how some people can work there for 8 or 9 years with a pay of $1000 odd per month. Told my mum about that and she just replied with a simple "That's life." And she then emphasized the importance of studying hard so that you can choose the job, and not the job chooses you. That's my parents for you, but I can totally identify with their words. Can't imagine that I have to work for 30 plus years before I can retire.
Ok, shall stop bitching about my job. But what's ironic is that when I'm studying, I want to work. And when I'm actually working now, I can't wait to get back to school.
On a side note, I want to take up piano again, especially after all youtube surfing of songs. There are so many piano versions of songs that I love, and I really hope to play them, just like the past. :) I don't want my life to be just about working working and working. No point earning so much money just to spend it on clothes,food and entertainment. Which is exactly my very mundane life now. :/ Also have a sudden impulse to take up baking and rollar blading. I know. Not the most exciting of activities.

After 2 days of work at Popular, my feet are aching like crazy, cos I practically stood all the time from 11am to 10pm. But I guess it's quite fun there, helping to pack all the CDs, stocktaking, cutting cardboard, attending to weird customers... and on a side-note, I get to listen to my favourite CDs that are blaring through the loudspeakers everyday! Initially, I wanted to buy the Britney Spears latest CD- Circus, but now I get to hear the entire album 4-5 times a day till I'm actually getting sick of it. Hope my boss can allow me to change the CD to Take That latest album, which coincidentally is called "The Circus" too (: Made some friends there at my workplace... ... all the part-timers are all younger than me.
No one believes that I'm 18, cause of my humongous FAT face which makes me look like a BIG CHUBBY PERSON. All of them thought I'm 16 or even younger. And apparently my age has become somewhat of a joke, cause when people always say- "Eh this is Carol, and GUESS HOW OLD SHE IS ?"
I'm quite disappointed that I can't send Karina off that day on Wednesday. But when I told the manager to let me start work on Thursday, she said that my boss is on leave on Thursday, and I have to learn some stuff beforehand so that I can cope on Thursday. So I guess that's life. Sorry.

SIAN. NAPFA got silver this year. Because of standing board jump i got a D. Haha....but I'm still quite glad that I didn't fail...cause I thought I will fail my standing board jump this year :( haha....:) I jumped 172 last year (just reached gold)....but the funny thing is that I failed my napfa in sec 3 and sec 4 cos of standing board jump... oh well....shan't complain anymore...just be contented with what I have now. :) I PASSED!
Sorry if you super fit people are rolling your eyes at me right now. It's an achievement ok considering I ran 17++ minutes in sec 3 and 4 and FAILED my NAPFA that iritating two years!
Anyway, after since SBJ was the last station and after I tried unsuccesfully to get my 174cm, I suddenly got a stomach upset and felt like vomiting. Randomness suddenly vomit just rushed to my throat. Rushed to the toliet and vomited quite a bit, then went upstairs looking for Zhi Lin and Hui Ru as if I had run 2.4km. Balme it on my throat and irritating flu :( Yah anyway, doc says I got throat infection sian...which is much worse than sore throat, and it will take long time to recover since I have no phlegm in my throat...just that my throat has infection....:( So people, sorry if you have to bear with my sucky gay voice for the next few weeks.
Yup but Since I'm not fit physically, I shall aim to make my brain fit in time for prelims and a levels.
Feeling really overwhelmed now cause time is a scarce resource and I'm still wasting my time blogging. Realised that I can't catch up on my Econs and Maths now cause I have focused too much on Phy and Chem. SIAN.
Sorry for all the complains.

Shopping!!!
YEAH! Shopping with Alicia, Angeline and Siew Min was productive yesterday! :) Bought a pair of shoes and a watch. Thanks Siew Min for helping me to find that perfect watch...really love it cause it looks so clean! Lol...anyway, my dad couldn't believe that I bought the watch for $5 at Bugis Streets cause it looks much more expensive than that...:)
Just came back collecting toys from Zhi Lin...now Sandy has more toys...1 barbie doll radio house, 1 box of beads and 1 mini "computer" which Zhi Lin says can be used to learn Maths! THANKS Zhi Lin! Though I apologise for Sandy anti-social behaviour...cause I don't know why she's so afraid of Zhi Lin haha:) Realise Sandy now has lot's of toys from my friends... 5 barbie dolls from Hui Ru and 1 barbie doll from Siew Min... ... And Vincent owns Sandy a present cause that time he laughed at me for taking Hui Ru's barbie dolls. :((
Anyway, today is reading story books day! Went Bugis library with SM yesterday to borrow loads of books...first time I was there...and I was rather noob cause I couldn't believe there were so many books!
Excited today cause there's Lord of The Rings today! My favourite movie of all time (along with Titanic) !!! :)
Just saw the timetable for extra lessons on Student's Portal. Really horrible cause we end lesson like almost everyday at 5.30pm.
Which means I can't get home in time to watch my show at 5.30pm :/
ARG.
