Fell sick again....
[Fell sick again.....sianz]Sianz lor.....Today, i took mc again. Not that i want it u noe? cos my sup oredi expressed concern over me taking five days leave(4 days cos i was SICK! 1 day for attending the grad ceremony)... plus today is the sixth day le....and it's oni slightly more than a mth....I kena the stupid flu virus...but....it's the usual symptoms that i oways have...sore throat infection then lead to fever and flu(due to my synus)....so ya...this time the same symptoms la. i miss my kids u noe? today suppose to have new toddler....but i didnt go la! saw her yesterday, very cute girl....haiz...Now feeling so drowsy la....n tired...maybe cos yest nite i chat with Gene on the phone till abt four plus...feel so happy that me n her can clique so well....feel sad for her n 'dre. but seems like got hope...i duno...Hmm...wed nite i met up with hui, kai ni, n weng yan....cos weng yan going abroad soon....this sun i think....so ya, we ate at JP's crystal jade kitchen...quite nice ah...catching up with them...and didnt noe Kai Ni so popular n capable...i mean, dun get me wrong...all along i noe she is a girl who is very capable and mature and pretty...but, that day i saw her....reli envy her for looking so confident and elegant and nu qiang ren .... n very lady like too...Well, we were chatting abt lots of things...even abt her work...then suddenly come to the topic on drinking alcohol...then Hui was telling them abt my "sausage" fingers when i drank quite alot of alcohol(whiskey, burban, vodka) when we went to China Black(now no more) to club....haiz. Duno whether it's blessing or curse. Cos i am allergic to alcohol...not like my mum who will kena rashes, but my fingers will be swollen if i consume too much alcohol....funny thing is, i dun get drunk easily....yet i m allergic to alcohol...my guess is on one hand, i m like my dad, can drink alot of alcohol, but on the other hand, i m allergic to it, like my mum. Anyway, it's not as if i looove to drink alcohol....after all i dun like the taste....unless it's mixed with coke or sprite la....so u wun c me drinking beer....yucks.Juz got my pay today....but i dun wan to be broke like my prev mth, yet i badly want n need a digi cam. Serious, i m not joking. Cos, i need to document chn's development for both my work n degree program....funny thing is...last time i dun want to have a digi cam....when qi said that she dun wan a gd hp with gd camera cos she oredi hav a digi cam....n i m more into having a better hp with gd camera de....so weird when Hui asked me to invest in a gd camera hp i said i dun wan...i guess cos i need to use it to take photos of the chn when they're doing activities ba n after print out, so might as well get a gd digi cam since i need it....last time i dun need ma....haha.Ya, talking abt that, i need to tell my dad abt the fees...after all, my mum dun want to pay for me the whole sum even tho she has the money....she says cos i m working.....It's not that i mind u noe? But, seriously, just cos i work then she want me to pay? i m oredi worried whether i can take the stress cos after all i will be working and studying u noe? then further more add on to it is i need to pay....so, what if i am broke? then i gotta worry both abt money n studies...gosh. Haiz...maybe i can take the stress, just duno whether i will do so well for my assignments anot...talking abt assignments...i have to hand in an essay abt the current affairs together with my application form....can u imagine that? Gosh....so troublesome....i dun even noe what to write lor...Feeling drowsy n tired....weird...the med didnt state it will cause drowsiness....maybe i m juz tired...ya.....so i guess i better go rest.....

my studies...
[About the portable home spa....]Hey...to u ppl who are free to read my blog....Well...my mum bought this portable home spa set....kind of cool actuali...when i first saw it, my first thought was, "wow, i wanna try this..." so, when i reached home from work today....my maid asked me..."wanna try?" i nodded....woo....So, there are pros n cons abt the portable home spa....first thing to note is that it's not like the spa as shown on beauty salons...it's portable...so meaning, it's not a tub that is made of metal or what...just a portable one made of plastic kind of cloth....can oni fit one person of cos...my hse toilet not so big ah...Well, after i tried it, it's kind of relaxing, which is the main purpose of the spa actuali...the water currents are huge and noisy..so that is the minus point la...cos i cant reli close my eyes n lie in peace u see? But ok ah, after all, my mum spent so much money to buy this...so i appreciate it la...Haiz....so sianz....dear going thailand with his father next wk....gonna miss him...poor him has to work OT cos he is so broke...haiz...wish i can do something to relieve him...hmm...Well, i called RTRC-Asia today regarding my degree thingy...actuali, i dun wan to study part time n work cos i duno whether i can cope? but....my mum is pressing me la....well, i gotta check out the price n if my mum is going to sponsor me i will have to study part time...cos full time dun have except in SIM...n seriously, like dear said, SIM any ppl can go in one....esp for early childhood....for me is i feel i dun trust SIM as much as i trust RTRC-Asia..cos RTRC-Asia is the organisation who liased with ngee ann to provide my ECH dip one wat...somemore my lecturers alot of them from RTRC....So...now is depending on the price scheme le...my mum will definitely want me to pay if can deduct from my salary....so sianz rite? tot she is going to pay for me...nope...she is not...cos i m working what...gosh...xiong lor i tell u...with double studies n pay...wonder if she is lying to my dad when she says she worked hard so that me n my bro can go uni...think she meant my bro ba...so ya....i gotta think abt it...after all...it's gonna to be my money, my time management and my future...gosh. how to cope sia...part time degree...wowz...N...i m late again today. my sup oredi talked to me before abt this...gosh. n i was still late, it goes to show my time management lor...i tink at the rate i m going i m going to lose this job, or instead of 3 mth probation i kena 6 mth...nobody to blame but myself...dun wan to be sacked cos my colleagues are nice, the aunties are nice, even my sup is nice...so...ya, gotta buck up....Well, thats all for today...

What a crazy week....
[Sob! So fast weekend is over.....]Hey, to anyone who is reading my blog....i had a crazy wk. Busy with open hse which took place yesterday. Talking abt it....haiz....due to the open hse, i felt that i had a short weekend....didnt get to spend much time with dear. Well, yesterday was one of the busiest and craziest sat in my life. Cos it's my centre's open hse ma, then i m responsible for the ppt for the educare curriculum. it's not a big task like lina n ash's ppt la...cos they had to design the whole ppt...i oni helped edit the educare ppt oni....u noe, like change the photos to our chn's pics and add effects n all...Then.....shit happened. On fri nite, when we were supposed to rehearse the ppts, cos all the teachers stayed back u noe...including me of cos(duh!)...then....the stupid LCD proj broke down! Gosh... so all of us panicked la...at least ash, lina n my sup were worried...then tried so many times to make it work...then till abt ten, the rest of the teachers went home first...cos they felt that they stay back oso do nothing...seriously, they could have give some suggestions....well, maybe they duno what la...So...me n my sup, ash n lina stayed till abt eleven plus at the centre u noe? n...the idiotic projector still didnt work lor! reli a bad day....and we even called whatever help we could...like mustafa, IT ppl...still didnt work....in midst of all that....my hp started ringing my msg tone david powter's bad day.....Gosh...it couldnt have been more accurate lor...even my sup heard the tone n all of us laughed as she sang along to my msg tone, cos we were having a bad day. So in the end, all our efforts of ppt went to waste...cos by Sat, still not working...n we called a certain sup from another centre la...she was supposed to rush down n helped us cos our open hse at 1230 noon....she came at that time lor! like wat ash said, she might as well dun come! i mean all of us came at ard nine plus to try n salvage the situation...called her for help n she so half-hearted one....So ya..we had a crazy sat....i was rushing with ash to kallang HQ there to get the OHP rather than using the projector le....n our ppt cant use so use ohp lor...printed our slides out n photocopied it on transparencies....Gosh...ash's bf so nice la....he helped us print n run the errands u noe? tink dear oso not so patient n nice....tink our centre's fortunate to have ash...she is reli a natural leader....Then the whole open hse ended at ard four...well, i presented my part...but i tink i was very crappy....haha. Cos in the end, teacher lay hoon n my sup oso chipped in to help me say... u might tink i have done so much presentation at ngee ann this shd be nothing...but i was still nervous...but i heck care le la..no pt brooding abt it...On the whole felt kind of sianz...cos not much parents turned up u noe? so many signed up but not much turned up...kind of felt that we wasted effort....Then after so much craziness...met dear n andre at lot one... i knew it's kevin's birthday today....but we celebrated yest....surprisingly, dear didnt go sentosa leh...neither did andre....poor *G*.... well, duno whether is it cos dear noe i wanted to go badly but i cant....hmm...so they abit sianz? haha. Anyway, i met them la...n i oso duno y they come lot one for wat? cant be just cos i was working there ma? cos we are going chevrons to sing ktv...not k box at lot one what....Anyway...ya. 'dre asked me for advice on what to buy for new borns....so diaoz rite? haha...well i did chose for him la....hope he dun mind hanging ard me n dear lor....cos i dun mind de...but if i m him i will...cos will be like lightbulb ma...anyway, we went ktv...it was fun la...cos the whole gang was there except *G*....haiz. Hope they can get back together la...they are so compaitable....well, as usual, 'vin n 'dre were doing their stunts with dear n mike...as usual they bully jonathon lo....sang the stupid cyndi's song...ai ni...gosh....i reli cant stand that song! so act cute! i mean...i oso dun reli like cyndi either cos she so act cute la...dun get me wrong ok...i like cute girls...like rainie yang? but i just cant stand it when cyndi act cute...like stella oso la....n u noe what? the guys sang lor! cyndi sang i oredi cannot take it....then u imagine a whole grp of guys sang that?? i almost died lor....they purposely irritate me la....esp 'dre n 'vin....today met dear n 'dre....ya..now that he's single again...he joined us more often...as i said i dun mind...but i duno abt him...but well, we kept teasing each other. he gets all defensive when i called him jordan chan's brother. but hey, he reli resembled a cross between jordan n edison, no joke lor. but coincidentally....jordan's surname is chan...his oso ma..andre chan...wahaha! who ask him keep di siao me... anyway, he shd take it as compliment lor...mind u....jordan chan n edison chen are both good looking lor! hee.....but he dun like la...somehow he dun like being called jordan's bro....well...i miss dear so much la...didnt get to c him much the past wk...cos due to the open hse...n he is watching his world cup la...his fav what...gosh..men n their soccer...i m not a soccer fan, even tho i dun hate soccer....but i would rather watch formula one lo...next wk...duno whether is term 3 anot...if it is i m in deep shit..cos...i haven prepare anything....haiz....see how la....thats all for now....

Bad and boring day at work!
[Ugh! Bad and boring day at work!]Hey.....to anyone who will be reading or is reading or has been reading my blog....Its a boring and bad day at work today....reli sianz...how come its a bad day? For starters, i think its the lack of teachers. so i was busy like hell...even my break oso not proper...not anyone's fault la....its just not enuf teachers....So kind of tiring...then hor...in the evening got so many chn to take care of...then i didnt even care abt whether i am too fierce or what....i think the stupid hot weather oso contributed to the tiredness in me....Then, what was worse was during the pickup time. Not only was it chaotic, but there was this granny who came to pick up her grandson, she reli break my day....i am not naming names cos not nice...but she came and picked up her grandson as usual. Then hor, she asked the grandson to take his shoes. He doesnt want to. I asked him to take his shoes, he also dun want. Then, the grandma asked me to be fiercer, cos she feels i m not fierce so thats why he doesnt listen to me. i duno what possessed me, i listened to the grandma's advice. u noe what? her grandson cried and became scared of me. which was what i expected. Then, u noe what she said? she told me, ''he dun want to listen to u? u cant control him ah? He listens to hong laoshi when she did that, '', i cant. At that point of time, i was too tired to think abt what she said, so i just told her, ''i noe''. i mean, after all, its the truth that hong laoshi is good with children-firm n yet gentle...But i was unhappy cos there was another parent outside who saw the whole scene. i mean, its very hurtful lor,not only cos in front of another parent but oso cos like hello? u as his grandma oso cant make him listen to u lor?? n i duno what possessed me to do what she said, which is be fierce. i mean, there is another parent from my toddler's class...u noe? and normally i m oni fierce to the older children...cos they do need the discipline, but the younger ones, i try not to be so fierce la...so what will that parent think? Gosh.......Haiz...this sat got work....sianz....Sianz...tmr is early shift...muz slp earlier....its not that i dun like early shift...just sianz lor...gotta wake up so early....hope i can meet him tmr or something....i reli need a break ah....tired like hell....yesterday's dinner was quite good, tho the food is not nice.....but i got to meet up with my cousins and i even got to talk to my handsome cousin...haha....cant believe i used to have a crush on him...cos he is good looking what....but thats so long ago...well, its good cos when i was younger i was close to him de, cos he dotes his female younger cousins ma, since he dun have a younger sis....but it all stopped abruptly when...i oso duno since when? just that i had a crush on him then i dun dare to talk to him...then recent yrs even tho no crush oso didnt get to talk much...esp when his mum passed away...i didnt even noe how to face him...seeing him so sad kind of makes me feel...sad and i duno what, but awkward at times la... So i was happily enjoying talking and joking ard with him when this auntie beside me said in chinese, "oh, u are his niece or aunt?" which was still not too bad....then she said the thing that i have heard so often...."she(refering to me) looks exactly like ur mum u noe?" and at first he didnt catch it, but then she repeated herself and very casually like as if his mum, which is my aunt, was still alive like that! Gosh! people can be so tactless...n u noe, for a moment, the atmosphere turned heavy....when a moment ago was still light hearted... but after that he just softly said, "i noe." N gosh! think she took that as a cue to say somemore, so she said "i noe cos i was ur mum's colleague when your mum is still young, and i tell u she(me again) look exactly like her!" Gosh.....she used the chinese words zhang de yi muo yi yang...i mean i dun mind la...looking like my aunt, i heard it so many times....from my dad....and some relative...is either i look like my first aunt(who oso passed away) or my second aunt(my cousin's mum).... and my dad sum it all...said i looked like my second aunt but my actions are like my first aunt....personally, i dun feel i look like them. Cos my second aunt(my good looking cousin's mum) was very pretty when she was young...saw her photos...well, given that my good looking cousin looked like her, she was definitely good looking de....so ya. my first aunt...well, the photo of her was so long ago, n i never seen her before, but i just feel dun look like. ya....enuf of that...back to the point. Point is, my cousin just came back from Europe...so envious of him la....so we talked abt the places he went to...envy de yaosi... haha. He is very nice as he wanted to show me the photos...anyway, reli nice chatting to him....and cos of that, we sort of like became closer like siblings? so i was like, feeling a little doted upon by him just like when we were young and xinfu...he was once again my brother who takes care of me....didnt realise how much i miss those days till he was very nice to me like a brother would....e.g. following me to toilet and waiting for me without me asking or anything...he noe i m worried of getting lost...haha! i think the last time he did this was when i was.....still in pri sch? haha.....Good bonding...wish i could take up his offer to stay over u noe? can listen to him talking abt his trip...cos he took 2000 over photos...and i wanted to see! but he cant transfer to me via msn cos it will take very very loooong....n i wun noe what place that is. so....haiz....Tmr is gonna be another loong day....sianz.

Rainy rainy day...
[Rainy day...kind of reflect my feelings for today...but yesterday was good=)]Hey....its me again...Gosh. It's raining heavily today. Reli heavily. Is it trying to reflect my feelings or something? i mean....i m not feeling so down till i want to cry....but just down la...cos today not meeting him. Abit sianz lor...cos i havent been seeing him for awhile le. i mean ya la, i saw him yesterday, but usually sunday i went over his hse for dinner de, today cant cos i m going for the wedding dinner with my dad. Ya, dear said i will definitely eat sharks' fin....well...haiz...i like to drink the soup la....even if its not sharks' fin i oso like..cos that time my mum brought me to the vegetarian restaurant to eat(u noe la, her being a strict vegetarian), i ate the "sharks' fin soup" and it was real nice....ya, so its not cos i like sharks' fin, but more like the soup...Yesterday...was kind of fun tho...cos dear brought me to Settlers'....we went with andre, kevin, mike and jonathon. Gene and Fion didnt come...so i was the only girl and girlfriend along....at first before i met them i tot to myself whether i m extra that kind of thing cos all guys ma...then after we met and i realise i worry too much. i mean, they are all sort of like part of the grp le, its not the first time we have been out...cos andre and kevin are dear's best friends ma...so we have like been out so many times and even to camp together, even tho kevin's not there but mike and jonathon were at the camp...so in short, we noe each other quite well in a sense so there is nothing to be awkward abt la...tho perhaps it will be even more fun if Gene and Fion are there...So anyway, they all took good care of me at the games...we played "a dog's life", "Zombies" and "Acquire". Well....to me, "a dog's life" is the most fun one....tho i m at first not very sure of the game, but the other two are kind of boring, i think cos i didnt reli get the hang of how to play....so ya...but the cool thing is, the guys helped me out alot...they even helped me play when i was feeling lost...cos i tot i m being kind of slow...i mean usually i m oredi abit blur le...add on to yesterday i have work from 8am to 2p.m. and i slept late the day before yesterday, so i got like headache plus retardedness....haha. But the guys are surprisingly patient, tot they will lose their patience or something cos i reli duno how to play...So by rite i shd be very bored yesterday, but i felt that it was still not too bad. Talking abt his friends....actuali, kevin they all i m still not too surprise that i can hang ard with them. Cos they are real nice to me right from the start. But andre is the surprise here ba, he used to dun like me much...i will say the feeling is mutual...i oso dun reli like him...then when i first started hanging ard the grp, everyone is nice to me except him....i mean he is not cruel to me or what, just sort of like ignore me? so i didnt talk to him....very awkward i tell u. i dun even noe how i shd react to him. Cannot be rude, yet i wun be nice either if he doesnt want to. i tot he was arrogant, with lots of attitude, ugly(well, feeling is mutual again), not nice, unfriendly, cold, unapproachable, uncaring, fierce and rudely blunt. in short, i dun like him. in fact, at one point of time, i hate him. Surprisingly, all these change drastically, i juz cant believe i am talking abt the same person. After i noe him, he is: actuali nice, caring in his cool cold way, actuali kind of friendly when u get to noe him cos he actuali jokes ard, fierce oni when he has to, kind of approachable and warmth if he lets u to....and in fact his bluntness is a kind of asset. Better than some of his friends who act nice but actuali dun like me at all, he is that kind of person who is very blunt abt his feelings whereby if he dun like u, means dun like de, no need to guess one, so if he can even joke abt me and tease me, i no need to think he hates me like in the past or wat....weird thing is, i even find him good looking. perhaps he has that kind of bad guy image outside yet nice inside....haha. Well, nice to noe him reli, if not i will have miss a nice guy.Actuali most importantly is that i can get along with his friends..if not very cham lei....every time go out i cant go out with his friends...so glad that we are all ok....well, something andre said was on my mind...but it will be very rude if i ask...we are not that close....when kevin asked him abt Gene, he said "its all over!" then after that he said Gene didnt come cos she cant make it. Weird. At first i tot something is wrong between them, then after that he just said she cant make it. Hope nothing is wrong between them. Cos i reli think they are a good match. She has that kind of attitude and bluntness too....like a female version of him. yet she is oso very nice and caring and has a feminine side too...so ya, very compaitable. she can sort of like tame him...haha. ya, back to my rainy day....ya, so today no action ah....just rot at home lor....maybe can call dear later....oh ya, wonder when can meet hui leh...reli miss her alot...want to catch up with her.... oh ya....i talked to Lina yesterday...not my nana, but lina from my work place...she is reli nice, so happy to see her tag and to noe her better...didnt noe we have so much in common....and didnt realise some ppl who looked so confident on the exterior (from my sec sch) can be so inferior inside....gosh. and mean too. real mean. looks can be deceiving huh? those who look like girls-next-door and sweet looking doesnt mean they are nice. just like andre, who looks tough and full of angst, is not that bad after all. Well, there are all kinds of ppl in this world.

hmm...quite ok day....
[Boring day....i love my kids la....]Today quite boring...cos its the same routine as usual....but there was one hr quite fun....cos i brought my toddlers out for lesson today..to record the diff sounds of the surrounding and let them listened....that was quite fun cos Ludovic's and Ruiqi's expressions so cute la....other than that...as usual lo...i am bored but not bored till like i've got time to brood abt being bored....reli glad that i am taking the toddlers and playgrp....cos no matter how bored i can always play with them or give them hugs....n u noe la children usually love hugs and to play....i noe i m not supposed to have fav kids but i have la...they are so cute lor...my kevin and Marco(which are not from my teaching class...cos i teach the toddlers, tho i take care of toddlers and playgrp together when we are not having lessons), Ludovic and Ruiqi....i have Ludovic's and Kevin's photos...hee...here are some... my cute Kevin 
and my Ludovic .
....Hee...actually..this few days i was worried abt something...tho its abit too early to worry abt, but i am still worried abt. Well, that is next yr whether i will be teaching toddlers again. u noe something? i have never realise i actually prefer teaching toddlers than kindergarteners and nursery, thats the reason why during the attachment during my field practicum i never dared to choose the younger ones. So for my whole 3 yrs in Ngee Ann, my attachment i oni chose to teach K1 and K2s. I tot i will prefer teaching K1 and 2s, even tho i like the younger children, esp the toddlers and playgrp cos they are cuter ma...duh...but when i started teaching my toddlers....i realise i love teaching them...and that i prefer taking the toddlers and playgrp...as in teaching wise, i like toddlers more cos they are more well behaved in a sense and there are fewer of them, but if talking abt taking care, i dun mind with playgrp too...i think there are a few reasons as to why....First, its cos i gotta face the children the whole day u noe? Teaching is oni one hr of each day, and u noe i have always like the younger chn and during my atttachment when i was teaching my K1 or K2 class, i will always look at the toddlers and playgrp when they take a walk ard...So can u imagine now i gotta face them the whole day? And if its the older ones...unless its like my 3rd yr attachment when i m very attached to my k1 class...a rare case...so i rather face my toddlers and playgrp the whole day than the older ones. Secondly, i dun have to keep being firm, reinforcing my rules and fierce all the time during lessons and oso not feel bored abt the lessons. Older children, they have alot of questions, and their lessons are very academic. So in a way, the lessons are boring even tho they are more challenging, while the lessons for younger ones are more hands on and yet not academically challenging. For younger ones, as long as i am animated and my lesson is hands on and interesting, they will be occupied. The older ones, no matter how interesting ur activity is, there is a tendency for them to still move abt because there are just so many of them and those who are occupied will oso kena influenced...Thirdly, i like to teach my lessons animatedly...haha..So back to my worry...ya, me n my big mouth la, go n tell my sup i have more exp with older chn and stuff, so duno whether she will think i am more interested in teaching older chn and next yr put me in the older age grp...ugh! unthinkable! i told other teachers who have worked there for many yrs abt my concern....they told me to tell my sup at ard Oct like that that i like toddlers and i like teaching them better....Hmm...so...that is why i am saying i might be worrying too early la...Sianz, tmr i think i hav to go k2 to teach cos i have to relief a teacher who is on leave la...sianz...hmm...

ugh!! bloody headache!!
[Ugh!!! My head aches like hell....so painful! & NTUC fairprice reli sux la...]Ugh...my head aches...like hell...anyway...recently did not blog cos abit lazy la...work early shift so slept early...oso abit retarded...now this wk my shift is from 10 to 7...so....maybe thats the reason for my headache...the shift change oso affect my sleeping hrs....Anyway....what happened during the weekend? Well...actuali was abit unhappy with dear, due to some hugging issues...but i dun wish to elaborate cos i oredi decided to let it go....for now la. But anyway, he seemed to treat me with better attitude so ya....ok la. Well, on the brighter side, i finally got to watch xmen 3 la! so nice!! Storm...is as usual my fav....i reli think Halle Berry is an excellent Storm....oni thing is....i feel the storm that Ratner portrayed was not very powerful...cos though its better as she gotta fly whereas in xmen1 and2 she didnt, it did not showcase her powerful powers like in 1 and 2 whereby she summoned tornados to block enemies, but Hugh Jackman makes an excellent wolverine and his powers are portrayed the right way...the oni actress i dun like is Famke Janssen who acted as Jean Grey...i mean i feel she is not pretty enuf to be Jean Grey and she looked abit too old for James Mardsen (dun get me wrong i am not a fan of James Mardsen so i m not saying that cos i m jealous...call me weird but tho i admit he is gd looking, i am not crazy abt him cos he is just not soo good looking to me like Hugh Jackman and Johnny Depp are to me)...i mean...its not that i have something against Famke, in fact, i dun like the char Jean Grey as well....cos in the cartoon and the comics, i always find Jean Grey lame as she always has a boyfriend and need him to save her....meaning no girl power la....though i like Dark phoenix much better than Jean cos she is powerful and definitely full of girl power...Well...ya, so dun reli like her.... and u noe i reli like Rogue? but i reli dun like Anna Paquin? cos i reli think she dun do Rogue justice....cos she is not pretty at all to be Rogue and she makes Rogue look weak..(probably the script's fault), but i like Rogue from the comics cos she is reli cool and very girl power kind of girl....which in the movie she is so not. So rite from the start i always felt they found the wrong Rogue...in fact Anna made me dun look forward to see Rogue on movie...and i think her acting reli sux esp when the scene where she is required to cry...so abit sad abt why they chose Anna as Rogue....hmm...weird.Well...anyway....oso abit sad cos Cyclops and prof X died even tho at the end like he didnt die like that...but the thing is, i feel Cyclops died too early n so unglorious cos the way he died is so lame....but on the whole i still like the movie cos i am not the fan of Cyclops or Jean so they die i oso dun care. But i did cry when Prof X died....Well...enuf abt xmen....my work was ok today...tho tired cos alot of teacher on leave... Sianz...Jia wen, Lee Fong and Dweynne no longer in my class...i shd be happy cos my toddler class now left 3....but i like my jiawen la....oh well...lucky still have Ludovic and Ruiqi...haha...hope i can teach toddlers forever... talking abt my toddlers...i was supposed to buy small ice cream scoop for my lesson tmr...the kind whereby can make watermelon balls oso can...so hong laoshi told me NTUC got sell lor....and i went...reli think NTUC fairprice sux lor...they didnt even sell...its not the first time they disappointed me le...i went several times in search for my lesson materials and somehow most of the time dun have de....so in the end didnt buy....duno how la...maybe use some other kind of scoop or what....Head reli aches....going to slp soon...
