Beloved

Today, it was a one of a kind outing. I went out with Asyraf and Priscilla =) Initially we wanted to go to the countdown at Marina. Unfortunately, it was kind of unplanned and last minute thing. In the end we went shopping at Mustafa Centre.

I also bought a skirt and a pair of shoes for my SIP. Priscilla wanted to see the perfumes. We spent almost 2 hours I guess just by testing most of the perfumes. Actually Asyraf wanted to get a cologne for himself but Mustafa Centre doesn't sell the new Polo Explorer.

Priscilla and I also bought some daily necessities. This is what we would do whenever our pay comes in, that is to buy all the things we need or things which we've been eyeing for so long.

And Asyraf, thanks for the surprise! really appreciate it =) ILY! Hehehe...

At the end of the day, I enjoyed myself being with my 2 beloved people =)

Staff Meeting

Today, I went to my posted school. I'll be doing my SIP for 10 weeks. Trust me, it will be hectic. The purpose of going to the school today is the staff meeting. Officially school starts on 2 Jan. Since Amanda and I plus 16 other new teachers will be joining the school, they had to brief us. Amanda and I were not looking forward to listening to the meeting. We didn't even talk much to the others. But of course when someone approached and talked to us, we just introduced ourselves. It's kind of awkward at first. Maybe because we are shy and still new to such things. Haha.

Some of these new teachers are permanent, some are relief teachers and while others are trainee teachers. We even met the school's staff; principal, vice-principals and teachers. It was an experience for me. I thought that the role of a teacher is just teaching and disciplining the students. Well, there's more than meets the eye. There were so much of admin work. All of the teachers have to hold many important roles. I must say that it is definitely not easy being a teacher.

The staff meeting started at 8am and ended at around 12pm. I kept fidgeting. I couldn't sit still. My back was aching and I felt sleepy. Amanda and I kept complaining to each other how tired we were. Luckily, breakfast, lunch and refreshments were provided for us. At least that made us alive. Haha.

The new teachers including Amanda and I were given a note to welcome us to the school and a candle. Apparently this candle symbolises us, the teachers, as the lights to show the way to the students.

I thought we only had the staff meeting in the morning. Unfortunately, there was an induction. It was about informing the new teachers more about the school such as the history, motto and values. After that, we had a tour around the school. We even get to see where we will be sitting throughout our SIP.



They spelt my name wrongly!!! No double L. Well it's ok I guess. Hehe =) Now Amanda and I have to get used to sitting in the staff room with the other teachers. Both of us were given one long table. It's so small! The table is shaky and we have to sit on those hard chairs like those in the classrooms. Do we have a choice? We can't complain also since we are only interns. But I like the position though. Somewhere at the corner and I don't think anyone would disturb us easily.

And now I must get used to students calling me Ms Emillia =)

A helping hand

At last I get to transfer those psp games to Asyraf. If not, he would be whining and sulking. Haha. I'm joking =) Well, that's me. I don't mind helping others but when it comes to myself, I can be a bit lazy sometimes. Maybe I'm that type who thinks for others first.

And yesterday I said that I forgot to bring the Vodka. Now Pris can be happily drinking with her loved ones. I passed it to her just now. See, I don't mind sending it to her personally.

When I got home just now, I even tried to help my brother with his handphone. Finally, he can store songs. So I helped to transfer some songs. Hehe.

I guess I've made them happy today and of cos, I'm happy too! =)

Merry Christmas!

I finally get to meet my dearest Pris on this very special occasion. I miss her badly. We never have the time to see each other especially when we are doing different modules for now. It felt good to talk to her like good old times. Haha.


I didn't there would be so much food. I had briyani which is her mum's specialty. I also had chicken curry and some prawns. Unfortunately no turkey today. Maybe she would pack some for me tomorrow. Haha.

I got her a perfume; Britney Spears Curious. She kept calling me asking where am I. I couldn't tell her at that point of time because I was buying her gift. If I were to tell her, most likely she would know what I'm up to. So I made her wait for the surprise.


Initially I wanted to wrap her present at her void deck. My instincts told me I better do it somewhere else. True enough, while I was wrapping the present, she called and asked me whether I would be walking past the church. I told her yes and I would meet her somewhere there. Apparently, she went out to exchange gifts with her friend for a while. Lucky for me. Hehe.

She was excited to open the present I got her. She opened it immediately. She was shocked to see that perfume. The one she's been wanting to get when the next pay comes. I thought that by buying this now, she can get the others. Now she must think of me whenever she spray the perfume on her. LOL.

Well I got presents from her. Ya presents. I got not 1 but 3 items. She got me a pair of earrings and a bling bling necklace. Hehe. Her mum also got me this roll-on eyeshadow. I'm supposed to bring the Vodka. But unfortunately, I forgot -.-. I think I would bring it tomorrow for her to celebrate and get high. Haha. Don't ask me how I got that Vodka. A long story. Hehe.




I had a great time with you, Pris. Hopefully we would meet this New Year's Eve!!! Merry Christmas everyone! =)

Christmas Goodies!

Hello hello hello! I'm back to blogging =). It has been a month since I last blogged. I have been VERY busy with design modules. Don't even want to elaborate any further. Now I'm having a short break!!! =) But then I have to go for my SIP this 2 January -.-

Ok enough said about that. What I really want to blog today is the early Christmas goodies I received from my fellow classmates. Ya a few of them came up with the idea of SECRET SANTA. Each of us had to draw out the name whom we are going to give the present to. We could not reveal the name until today. Guess who I got? It's our DRAMATIC Wani. Initially I didn't know what to buy for her. Somehow I guess she likes those girlish stuff and acts like a diva. Haha. Yesterday, Asyraf and I had a hard time searching and I finally decided to get her a DIY Beads Set. At least she can make those fanciful necklaces and bracelets with her sisters. I hope Wani likes it =)

We ordered pizzas. All the presents were put aside. When everyone was present, we gathered at the front of the class. Xiufeng insisted that she would be the one giving out the presents. So she acted as though she's the Santa or maybe more like a Santarina. Haha. So she called our names and pass the presents. We did not know who gave us the presents. All of us had to open up the presents first. After that, then we would know who when everyone started to confess. It was something which I never experienced before.

I got this pretty seashell necklace from Lee Kuan. She knows what I like. Maybe because she's been stalking me. Haha! Well I guess most people know what I like. And I'm grateful for that =) The class also received 2 marshmallow chocalates and 2 candy canes.







Our class also got presents for the design teachers. Unfortunately, our Adfund teacher couldn't make it today. Well I'm glad that 2 design modules are over!! I need a good break for now =)

Tata!
