A few backdated photos here...




Frinn and I, feeling and looking fabulous!



The spread of food just for the 2 of us. We ended up packing half the contents home!

Looking at the spread makes me hungry again.
*droolz*

Now that this course is coming to an end, it's time to think about where I want to be heading towards from this point.
I can finally surf around for details for the next course. A part-time course is surprisingly available but I'm skeptical if I should take it up or I should just enrol for the full-time course in time to come.
I still need to find out more details. Best if I could actually speak to someone instead of communicating with this screen.
Need to talk to the Mummy...

Pretty tired right now.
Have been cleaning up my room the past 2 days.
Managed to keep my notes and books in the cupboard after throwing away half a ton of things.
I never knew I had so many redundant stuff.
Gonna shut my eyes for a bit...

It's been a long hiatus. Apologies.
I wouldn't say I've been real busy but I have been going around since I came back from the trip.
There were people to meet, school to go to...
The latter was a complete waste of time.
Nothing unusual bout that though.

Anyway, met up with Frinn after a really long time and it was great!
We had a glorious tea at the Regent coupled with girls' day out of shopping.
Nice.
We should do it more often.
Met one of her friends, who happens to be one of Cleo's bachelors.
Charming fellow and according to Frinn, I should check out his profile about what he said.
And so I did. Haha. Okay, I have to admit, he sounded a lil himbo.
But nice guy, nonetheless.
It's been a long time since I last made an acquaintance out of the school circle and it felt like a liberation from obligations.

It's the one-week break from school this week before the 2 weeks of induction starts.
Not many plans have been made except for that date with the girls to watch Sex and the City movie. And of course, the hunt for furniture has begun.
We started yesterday.
It was a tiring outing.
More to come in the next few weeks.
But I really fell in love with this compact dresser that makes me feel like a princess with little secrets, stashed away in the boxes. And when you open it, it reveals all my secrets.
Haha. Fantasy. But it's really nice.
Mum says it's lovely too but the fiance says I'm vain. Haha.
Well, of course I'm vain. I've to dress up for you honey... =)
Yeah, looking for furniture includes Mum and the fiance.

Time is ticking and we've about 9 months left to the wedding.
I've the holidays to start cleaning my junk.
And most importantly, I need to clear the wardrobe.
Cos I don't see how the fiance's clothes are going to fit in the new wardrobe in future if it's the same size as my current one, even though it's pretty large.
I've told him that for our new place in future, I'm having a room to be converted into a walk-in wardrobe. I'm excited just thinking about it!
Can you see it? Walk into the room and be greeted by all your clothes, shoes, accessories...

Nice.

The fiance and I had dinner at Swensens down at United Square last night and I bumped into a really old friend.
It wasn't bumped, it was more of he serving us our dinner.
Redzuan (I think that's how his name is spelt), I'm sure Frinn would remember him.
He called out my full name and I looked up cos I was wondering, who it was calling me by my full name...
Turned out to be him. Small world.
I was alone then, the fiance went to withdraw money.
And of course, the fiance being him, tend to overreact a teeny bit, saying he was trying to flirt and all. I think it's jealousy. Heh.
I think he was just saying hello cos it's been a long time...

Anyway, United Square is really dead at night.
We slacked at Starbucks after dinner.
At 9.30 p.m., the place looked like a ghost town.
But it's definitely good for a quiet night out.

Anyway, we're leaving for a short weekend getaway this Friday.
We need a break but at this point in time, we can't afford to go to faraway places.
I doubt I'll spend much save for food and lodging.
I'm just going to take a breather... it's been a long time since I did.

It's back to lessons tomorrow and I'm finding it so redundant cos it's been covered before in our previous modules!
Oh well...

I should just get my rest now so I won't wake up cranky tomorrow.

I feel so relaxed tonight.
No more waking up at unearthly hours for the next few weeks!
Yay!
And the fact that I'm on the bed as I'm typing this post.
Lazy me can't bring myself to clear the mess on the table, the chair and the floor.

Why?
Because the maid went for a weekend trip with the aunt and uncle.
And for 2 days, my bed is unmade. It looks exactly the way it did when I woke up on Saturday morning.
The laundry is piled high on the chair cos there's no one to bring them to the laundry basket.
My stuff from school which were brought back on Friday are still scattered on the floor.
With the maid not around, her services are undeniably missed.
Even the brother feels the same way cos he realised that the state of our rooms are the same without bibik!
Tsk tsk.
Such bummers...
I guess we never realised how orderly things are when she's around.
She's only been away for like 2 days and our rooms look like they've been hit by a torpedo.
Even when she returns to her homeland for like a month once every 2 years, there's always someone else to do all these chores.
We just never realised the conveniency that has been bestowed upon us.

The trip was a treat from my aunt as a Mother's Day gift.
And we, or at least I, treated my mum (& family) to dinner last night at our all-time favourite North Indian restaurant down at Holiday Inn.
Yummay!
I can't afford to buy gifts for Mum so it's better to treat her to dinner.
A few hundred bucks is still affordable.
But Mother's Day has been over-rated by commercialisation.
Every day is Mother's Day.
We've never had a tradition of celebrating this day but since there wasn't any food at home, having dinner outside was a great idea.
Plus, we've been putting off dinner plans for a few weeks and this week seemed like the perfect timing... Mother's Day and all.
But since it's THE day, I can't expect Mum to foot the bill. Heh.
So it sort of became a Mom's Day celebration for us.

Anyway, bibik's back today.
I can expect to look forward to a much cleaner room tomorrow. =)
Good night.

I'm elevated by 9.5 cm today.
Cos I decided to put on my wedges due to my looooong pants.
Haha.
Like I need the elevation in height. Heh.
So now I know how it feels like to stand at about 1.8m tall.

Have a class at 11 later.
Which is good, cos it helps to kill time.
Yesterday, I simply felt wasted cos I did nothing!
At least today, there's a class to go to after invigilation.

Anyway, I'm thinking of going shopping later.
Partly due to boredom plus I need to get some stuff.
I'm still undecided if I should get anything for the students since I'm leaving this Friday.
Maybe I will.
I don't know.

And Haslina, if you're reading this, when are we going for that buffet?
Do drop me a note to tell me when you're free =)
Lunch? High tea? Dinner?
I'm available for all 3 timings... Haha.

Okay, enough digression.
Can't blog for too long since I'm in school now and you know the policy about blogging while at work, yada yada...
So back to reality.
Back to boredom.

Update: Exactly 10 more months!

I've never felt like slapping someone so much till just now.
It makes my blood boil knowing that I'm not able to lay a finger and not even able to express my anger through vulgarities to that boy.
Fuck.
It simply irks me to the core.
Can't even scold him due to the exam circumstance.
Aaaargh.

Doesn't help that I'm not in the best of moods lately.
This adds on to it.
Aaargh.

Okay, forget about it Jannah.
Gonna go drink my fibre drink to cool myself down.

I should go shopping.

I'm loving it!
I fiddled around and managed to come up with something decent for the photo montage to be screened during my wedding dinner!
It's pretty fun =)
It's so cool to be making my own 'movie'! I'm quite excited by it.
It's not completed yet cos there're still a number of photos to be uploaded.
I can't wait to view the end product!
*beamz*
So exciting!

I'm having so much fun that I'm finding it a little hard to get to sleep although I'm tired and I know I need the sleep cos I'm gonna wake up tomorrow feeling bleagh.
Cos that's what happened this morning. I felt like I didn't sleep a wink.

Anyway, I've got my time planned out the moment practicum ends.
I'm gonna wrap up the photo montage and clean the room.
Oooh... I can't wait!

4 more days...!

I was extremely tired today.

Simply due to lack of sleep...

I came home at 6 a.m. on Labour Day where I was out the entire day and night before.

Then I had about 5 hours of sleep before I was out of the house again.

Met Priya for dinner before reaching home past midnight.

Hence, the lack of sleep and accumulated lack of rest from Labour Day.

But most importantly, I had a blast!

*beamz*



I was supposed to meet Haz for dinner tonight but her father got admitted again.

Hope it's nothing too serious.

Stay strong babe...



Anyway, there's only one week left of practicum!

Woo hoo!

It seemed like forever but it's finally here.

Anyway, one of my CTs asked if I was attached which I thought was a pretty weird question coming from nowhere.

I asked her why and it seems that the other teachers were speculating.

So I told her I'm engaged and I guess that stopped her from asking me anymore questions.

Haha.

Maybe I should put on my engagement ring every day from now onwards.

Then I guess I can avoid people asking me questions which I thought I would never be asked again the day I left my schooling days.

In a way, I'm tired of dealing with these questions and I'm not interested to get to know anyone else beyond friendship. In fact, I'm not interested to get to know anyone else beyond friendship since I was 14!



I still have a stack of Science test papers to mark.

Not in the mood to mark now.

The kids have a million and one answers for the open-ended section and it's so tiring to just complete one page of marking.
Sighz.

It's only 10+ now. I feel that the night is still young and that I should head out but I don't have anyone to go out with or to meet up.
And I'm still tired.
But bored.
I'm such a confused soul.

Maybe I should get that Roti John with cheese and mushroom.
Hmmm...
