Really thankful

[Thank you, student teachers]

Time flies really fast.

I remembered they just came not long ago. Friendly and helpful, it is always nice to have another person around in your class to talk to, especially when you are alone without a partner.

I remembered a mixture of feelings, like how I was reminded of my own attachment days when I was still at Ngee Ann Poly, and other feelings like whether I could actually guide them just like how the form teacher that I was attached to guided me....

As time goes by, it seems like I am just having another friend around, always willing to assist me when I needed help...

Just when I am so used to having their presence around, they are to go....

It's kind of sad, yet at the same time blessed, to know these student teachers, as we can really click (I heard of cases which student teachers and form teachers can't work together at all) and most importantly, helped out so much willingly.

Especially Yu Pei, who has been so kind to have always come back to help out even though she has already completed her field practicum attachment. (I don't remember being so helpful when I was doing my attachment).

Thanks for being a friend, for the card and stickers, and all the help you have given me. Will definitely want to stay in touch:)

in love again

[The Romeo of Harry Potter]

Warning: For those of you who didnt read the seventh book of Harry Potter won't understand this entry.

A lot of my friends who have read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have asked me whether I have read it. Those who knew I am a fan.

Now I can proudly tell you people I did! I read it within 2 nights, and it's 2 hours per night:).

Anyway, this book made me cried harder than the previous books. This is bad cos' I did cry when I read the previous two books, namely Order of Phoenix and The Half Blood Prince cos' Sirius and Dumbledore died.

I mean, I cried for Sirius cos' I felt that he led a very sad life and died just like that. For Dumbledore, it's cos he is the hero and he is so grandfatherly, like Santa Claus, so when he died, it felt like Christmas without Santa, which just feels plain wrong.

But when I read the last instalment, I realized these characters paled in comparison to him, cos his life is more sad and he is as great a hero as Dumbledore can be.

Who is he?

Gone are the days of Romeo and Jack (from Titanic)....

I dub him the Romeo of Harry Potter series(actually I personally feel he is greater than Romeo).

He is none other than......Severus Snape.

I mean, I practically cried like I lost someone dear to me (ok, ok, I know, I am pathetic, it's only a story) when he died and that I learnt about how great he was.

He is not only the most misunderstood character in the story and perhaps in the modern world fiction, but he is one of the most devoted character as well.

I mean seriously, who doesn't love a good love story whereby the male character love this one woman since they were children till the day he died, despite the fact that she is someone his kind look down upon (she is a muggle, and he is brought up in a family who ostracizes mudbloods), that she hated him after one hurtful word he said and possibly never love him at all and married the person he hated the most?

Mind you, he is supposed to be this bad guy character at first...cos' he is fascinated by dark magic...however, he still loved the girl despite whatever she had done for many years, loving her so much that he chose the right path rather than the evil one when she died under the hands of evil, protecting her son (who is none other than Harry Potter) despite the fact that he hated her husband and her son?

To me, that's greater than Romeo or Jack from Titanic, cos' even though all of them have the common point of willing to die for the woman they love, Snape carried it one step further, he is willing to die for a woman who doesn't love him, married the guy whom he hated cos' he bullied him and possibly find him disgusting not to even be his friend again.

Oh well...those of you who didn't read the book won't understand what I was blogging about...I just had to blog about Harry Potter and Severus Snape.

He is now officially my most favourite character in the Harry Potter series, after Harry Potter himself:)

Misunderstandings.

[I miss my best pals]

This is one of the times where I miss my best pals from school days
Miss them for accepting who I am
Knowing me and trusting me

With them I can voice out my thoughts
Do what I want
And even if the words come out wrong
Or my actions are so misleading
They know that whatever I say or do
Is not to harm them

Even when I make mistakes
Or when I do things that seem wrong
My best pals will always know that
I mean no harm

Many people told me work life is like a battle field
Where I can never really find a true friend
Cos' you can't trust your colleagues
Or even if you do they won't trust you totally
Cos' as long as you do something that is wrong
They will choose to leave you rather than be with you

I thought that is nonsense
Cos' I truly believe otherwise

I want to be more confident
And tried to speak out
For what I feel is right or wrong
Not to attack anyone and mean any harm

Maybe it's time
To just keep my mouth shut
Even if I feel something is wrong
Or when I feel something is not right
In the game of work

Because what I feel
Might be totally wrong to others
And only my closest best pals
Will truly understand
And forgive my mistakes

Cos' in the working world
People are not so understanding
As long as your opinion differs
As long as you voice your differences out
To other people

They are not going to trust you totally
No matter how close you can be

Somehow I have learnt
The good people in the game of work
Are supposedly the ones
Who never voice their thoughts
To anyone but themselves

I feel that it is safer this way
To be someone who only mind my own business
Cos' you will never know
What you have said or done
Is wrong in other people's eyes

And in the game of work
People aren't that understanding
Or that forgiving
And it's a place where I can't trust
To make mistakes
Or voice out my thoughts

I really do miss my best pals from school days
Whom I don't even have time to meet
But always trusting me
And allowing me to grow

Thank you, my pals.

The photo again...

[The Mickey and Minnie]

I decided to put this photo cos' some of my friends who read my previous entry suggested that maybe I should take a photo with the BIG Mickey and Minnie to just prove my point rather than describing it....

Some of them seem to think I am too long-winded, which I also feel I am...

There:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Me and Mickey and Minnie

And also, I would like to thank all the people who had given me presents (the accessories, clothes and hair band scarfs). I didn't take photos of all the other presents cos' there are quite a number of them, but even so I appreciate all the presents given to me. So thank you all once again:)

Reminded of his love

[A blessing to have your love reciprocated]

It was my birthday yesterday....and I was once again reminded that he loves me. Well, even though he didn't say the words, but his actions meant it. Actions speaks louder than words, aye?

Anyway, despite the fact that he didn't get much sleep the night before my birthday, in fact, he didn't sleep the whole night cos' he was playing games with his friends, he still went out with me without a word of complain.

Too bad both of us forgot to bring our cameras cos' he treated me to Teppanyaki, which I had never been to before (yeah, I know, I am quite back-dated right?), and the food is tasty. We also went the Coffee Club for desserts, and the national day dessert is delicious.

Well, it was a nice day out full of laughs, and he made me laugh most of the time, despite the fact that he did not sleep much the day before.

Funny thing is, he told me his present for me is SO BIG (he stretched his arms wide to prove his point) and I thought he got me some sort of cabinet or cupboard.

I was so touched when I saw the present:

Enormous Mickey and Minnie Mouse!!

Why was I touched? Well, it's cos' firstly, I am so happy that he remembered his promise for me so many years back...I forgot exactly when, if I am not wrong it was during our secondary school days, when he told me he would get a VERY VERY BIG soft toy for me when he has the money, since it doesn't come cheap and he knows I like them so much (only teddy bears and Mickey mouse).

Secondly, it's cos' he still remembers that I like Mickey mouse! I mean, I have liked Mickey mouse and anything that are related to Disney(think the Disney princesses) except Winnie the Pooh. But of course, Mickey is my favourite cos' he is not only cute, but he is the symbol that represent Disney what.

I have sidetracked. My main point is, I only mentioned it once or twice throughout the entire 8 years that we are together, and he remembered it. And there is Minnie too! It's like symbolising both of us together, holding hands:), and knowing him, I think that is the reason why he chose to buy this instead of just buying a BIG Mickey.

AND this enormous Mickey and Minnie comes together, and they can hold hands(there are velcros on both their hands so that I can stick them together).

If you can't really tell how big it is through the photos, Mickey and Minnie's palms are bigger than mine, and their feet is bigger than mine too.

So I hereby announce that my bed is FULL of soft toys, all from him. Mickey and Minnie is like, the seventh soft toy from him.

Hehe, so this is a rough account of how I spent my birthday:) It is always a blessing to be reminded that the person you love loves you. It is even more joyful to be reminded of it on your birthday, cos' it is the best kind of birthday present ever.

********************************************************

-Anyway, dear, if you are reading this, thank you for everything that you have done, including the things that you have done for me on my birthday:)

SO gross!!!

[Some contents of this entry is not for the weak hearted]

Well...if you have a weak heart or more like, a weak stomach, or BOTH....my advise to you is...

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT click on the url below...

http://www.stevenlim.net/

I tell you. This man, is an embarassment to himself, Singapore, and men around the world.

I was contemplating on whether I should blog about him....but really, his actions are SOOOOO attention-seeking+perverted+so full of himself that I really really can't stand it, so I decided to let some of my friends, who are sadly(blessed, I mean) clueless about this embarassing imbecile that we have in Singapore.

He is an embarassment not so much on his attention-seeking nature and perverted look that he always has on his face, but his twisted mind of thinking that he is so much of a hunk that girls are fighting over him...and thus, some of his entries on how he doesnt want to bed girls when they throw themselves at him. He is SO FULL of himself, I think his brains are so full of himself too, too full and filled up that there is NOTHING ELSE in his brains.

His whole website features not only photos but videos of HIM, HIM, and more HIM. Doing dances and singing when it is really not his thing. It is fine, if he is really keen on singing and stuff, BUT does he has to be so arrogant AND ALMOST ALWAYS HALF-NAKED throughout the whole video? And mind you there are alot of videos that he filmed about him.

And his Engrish, oops, I mean English, is so fantastic that people made a video about it. You can watch it at youtube:

A man of "classics"

This is a video made by a blogger name Jayden. It is hilarious, that is, for those of you who know about the famous Xiaxue and her famous entry on the top 7 most digusting bloggers in the Singapore blogosphere. Cos' Steven Lim the Hunk(not Hulk, though he does look more like The Hulk than The Hunk) rebuked back at Xiaxue by making a video(featuring him, him and only him) scolding all kinds of interesting vulgarities.

So, being a normal human being, I guess Jayden, like the rest of us normal beings, can't stand his actions and decided to make the funny video above.

WHY, those of you will ask, do I bother to read about him when he is SOOO disgusting? Reason is simple.

Even though he is disgusting, got the kind of perverted look, have perfect Engrish (I mean, English), attention-seeking and really thinks that he is The ~~Hulk~~ Hunk, I read him because sometimes, his actions make me feel gross yet tickled to the point of rolling on the floor and laugh.

Another reason is, I just cannot fathom why he is like this. I have never encountered another individual like him in my life. So everytime I read his website to not only see his silly yet disgusting antics, but also to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?

AND the weirdest thing is, he is also very very contradicting. I don't know is it because of his superb Engrish, I mean, English, that he is so contradicting, but well, he is so contradicting that I don't know what he is thinking. Read his recent entry on his insults of Xiaxue and how much he hate her, then read his current entries on the 2 inspector stories that he created (yes, he not only blogs and video blogs, he attempts to write novels too, on his website), which seemed to show that he likes her. DOTS.

Anyway, those of you brave hearted people or so-curious-that-you-don't-give-a-damn-about-my-warning and went ahead to look at his website, hope you did not vomit your dinner or whatever meals that you have taken, or worse, have a heart attack. In any case, you have been warned:)

-To the brave people, you should view all his videos, especially the one where he scolded all kinds of vulgarities about Xiaxue, then you will get the funny joke about Jayden's remake about her. I dare you to. Hehe:)
