Summary of my Taiwan X'mas Trip 21st-26th Dec 2006




今年终于如我所愿,能到台湾过圣诞!但效果并没有我想象那么好玩。

我们参加了旅行团,因为我认为台湾路名时常更换,所以不如参加旅行团,环绕着台湾走一回。若觉得下一次要再去的话,可以专选一个地区。

参加旅行团真的很累,又很赶。因为我们必须去很多地方。每天都搬行李到不同的饭店,真是累垮我了。我们去了很多风景美的地方,我和文通相信,若是我们自由旅行,是不会到这些地方去的,所以此行算是大开眼界。台湾的风景的确非常好看,是新加坡怎么样也看不到的风景。

那里的天气很冷。我的体质不好,所以受不了冷的气候。但也不至于冷死啦!新加坡的天气不允许我们穿太厚的衣服,所以可以乘机在台湾穿一穿也无妨。

觉得遗憾的是,我们并没有到主题乐园玩。自己很怕玩这些刺激的游戏,但又想逞强。每一次看到台湾的娱乐节目,他们都好像玩得非常开心,自己也想亲身体验一下。我想,若有机会再去台湾,应该就会到主题乐园玩一天。

虽然行程紧迫,但此行也算是满愉快的。文通问我明年要到哪里去庆祝圣诞,原本我是说韩国,但回头想一想,又不知道该去哪里好。让我好好想一想吧。

Curse of the Golden Flower


i went to watch this show a few days ago with Bong..... it's a 113min show... main casts were Jay Chou, Gong Li n Chow Yun Fat.....

I had always thought that Jay Chou's acting skills were merely ordinary.... The movie just wanted to use his popularity to gain good movie results...

After watching this show, i think that i was wrong... Jay Chou's performance in this show was quite good.... The making of the movie was very great.... their costumes were all so grand.... Even the palace maids' costumes were also so fantastic... but, r u sure that the maids were allowed to wear so sexy??? i think it's just for the effects.....

Chow Yun Fat's costumes had the look of an emperor.... but it seemed heavy..... haha... But he is such a tyrant.... just to protect his dragon seat, he can kill his own son.... rather cruel... Jay Chou eventually oso die lah.... but die with pride as he killed himself....

I seldom wanted to watch Chinese movie, because they can b found in VCD/DVD very soon... but I think this show is worth watching..... If u wanted to catch a nice Chinese movie, y not consider this??

New generation Hong Kong Idols

for friends who had been reading my blog should know i love watching Hong Kong Series... Wana tell u a little bit more about some information about the new generation idols who i admire....
  1. Raymond Lam 林峰 , a very nice looking young chap... born in 1979.... Loved the following series he had casted in : 美味情缘;律政新人王;再生缘;大唐双龙传;云海玉弓缘;覆雨翻云;流金岁月;天涯侠医;血荐轩辕。
  2. Ng Cheuk Hai 吴卓羲 , features very attractive.... born in 1979... rebellious look, n yet well loved by fans.... one of the hottest actor in favour... liked the series he has casted in : 学警雄心;大唐双龙传;冲上云霄。
  3. 黄宗泽 Bosco..... though features not as outstanding as the other 2, but has performed well in his roles.... a very adorable actor... born in 1980.... has attracted my attention through : 足称老婆八两夫;我的野蛮奶奶;覆雨翻云;阿旺新传。
  4. 佘诗曼 Sheh See Man, Charmaine. a very sweet n nice looking female actress.... born in 1975.... liked her smile n her expressions.... whenever i watch her shows, i can c that her acting skills are becoming better...... loved her shows as follows: 覆雨翻云;帝女花;金枝欲孽;西关大少;红衣手记;无名天使3D。
Hong Kong has spotted a lot of potential Kings n Queens in the acting industry..... N most of them are either good in acting, good in appearance, or both.... every1 of them do have chances of performance.... N most of them do really acted well... improving a lot.... How i envy them... Sooner or later, they will replace the seniors n become the 风云人物.... i will try my best to support their shows whenever i can..... I hope i can get to watch more on 吴卓羲's show... but hope his roles can have a change... coz most of his roles r those kind of impulsive n rebellious roles.... except for 大唐双龙传... i know he can do it.... As for Raymond, hope he can take more of 古装 series.... though most of his shows are this type... a very talented young man........ Bosco need more shows like 我的野蛮奶奶.... to promote his image... coz other shows can't really boost him up....覆雨翻云 rather suit him too... he is more suitable to act in those cute n adorable roles... or hero..... Charmaine is suitable for many different types of roles.... i think she can perform better for roles that r weak n soft, or heroine type like 覆雨翻云..... Keep it up..... they r really good!!!!!! Please do support them ya!

Hong Kong Series : Lethal Weapons of Love And Passion 覆雨翻云


Last week, i went to a VCD/DVD rental shop at Gek Poh to borrow a set of new Hong Kong series, Lethal Weapons of Love And Passion 覆雨翻云... casted by 林峯,佘诗曼,黄宗泽,郭羡妮 n etc... it's a 40-episode series....

i used less than a week's time to complete... everyday watch at home... night time will watch until 1am-2am+..... it's quite a nice show... with many of my idols in.... It has not casted on SCV yet.... it's roughly about a show between 2 different people, Ming people n Mongolian... It's a nice show ya.... 林峯 acted as a calm n highly skilled Mongolian.... 佘诗曼 is a justified lady who loves 林峯 deeply... though they had disputes regarding their cultures, but til the end, they ended up together... 黄宗泽 is one of the main actor inside.. a very kind-hearted n filial man... who is very devoted as well as 林峯... they r as good as brothers... but bcoz of different dreams n culture, they have to be enemy... 林峯 as usual, cool in 古装 attire... 黄宗泽 should really eat more... looks too thin... but his image is positive...

i watched this week's I-weekly magazine... inside talked about these few handsome n macho young men... there wrote: <冲上云霄>剧中航空公司名为 "Solar",吴卓羲,陈键锋,黄宗泽和马国明干脆叫作 "S4"... 见观众吃帅哥组合这一套,马上加上林峯和黎诺懿组成部分"奥运6星".... 叛逆有型的吴卓羲率先突围,火速成为少女杀手,广告新宠.... 陈键锋在<律政新人王>展露演技和温文气质,进一步奠定新偶像的地位.... 黄宗泽则在<我的野蛮奶奶>里巧妙应付霸道母亲和恶妻,凭可爱小男人出位.... Looks like these few guys will make it big in Hong Kong industry....

I think every actor/actress must try different roles, in order to have a greater area of performance n recognition...... If u like to watch Hong Kong series like i do, mayb u should try to catch up with this show....

Hong Kong series : Wars of In-Laws 我的野蛮奶奶











i borrowed a set of Hong Kong Series from my bro's friend.... which i think it's very good... wana intro to people who loves to watch Hong Kong series.... that is casted by Myolie Wu 胡杏儿,Bosco Wong Chung Chak 黄宗泽....

I used 2 days to complete the whole 20-episode series.... it's very funny n nice.... storyline not bad lah... Bosco is vey charming in the show... compared to the rest of other shows he casted in...

I think the both of them r rather compatible.... Rumoured that they r a couple.. if they r, i think it's good...

The series is about how she managed her life with her demanding mother-in-law.... in the family, Bosco seemed to b a coward n mummy's boy, but in the dark, he is a very great hero, No Name...

I envy in the show, how he managed to show Myolie concern... he is very caring n sweet, though sometimes they do quarrel n made his wife sad... but envy the way he fought with his mum regarding that he will definitely not divorce this fierce wife of his.... When do i have such a fortune to have a man like him?? will try ways to make his wife happy, so sweet n adorable... when he needs to show his manly attitude, he showed it all out....

Sometimes how i wish my life is not that simple.... how many people wish that their life is 轰轰烈烈.... isn't it? after going thru thick n thin, their relationship is so strong... though they got married first, n develop the feelings later.... at least Bosco is brave enough to fight for his love... In order to make his wife fall in love with him, he tried many ways... Because he fell in love with Myolie first.... Though rough, but adorable... that makes her lovable by her young husband...

I want to have a partner like him... haha... handsome, caring, loving, talented..... In the previous shows that Bosco had casted in, a pity he wasn't that impressive... until he casted in this show n the other which i think is nice... other shows which has 吴卓羲 , Bosco was pinned down.... coz 吴卓羲 is much fitter n his features r more outstanding... Just look at 冲上云霄 , Bosco wasn't that outstanding.... Among these 2, another guy was equally good... 林峰... If i'm not wrong, these few guys r highly recommended into TVBI to take over the seats from the senior ones.... N i think these 3 young guys r really good.... in the past i only noticed 吴卓羲 n 林峰, because of 大唐双龙传..... after that, i started to notice 黄宗泽... though his looks r not s distinct as the other 2, but he is equally adorable... Has the looks of a faithful guy...

黄宗泽 looks faithful, 林峰 looks charming, 吴卓羲 looks cool though has the look of a rebellious guy.... but they have their own qualities..... BUT of course cannot b compared to my precious prince charming Julian Cheung 张智霖.... i really look up to Hong Kong actresses n actors... esp those in this generation... they r all competitive n outstanding... i hope i can get to watch more good shows from these 3 young men....... Cheers!!

Bangkok Trip 6-10th Dec 2006


I'm finally back from Bangkok with the other 5 women.......... it was a 5D4N trip......... travelled with Tiger Airways.....

We had 2 triple rooms.... my 'roommates' for the trip r weixin n kristene..... yifen, wei lee n tingting shared the other room..... but ours is the connecting room.......

The whole trip was all about shopping!!! We bought quite a lot of clothings..... i only managed to buy a pair of covered shoes, which can be weared to school..... the rest were slippers..... bought a number of t-shirts, blouses n skirts.... bought 2 dresses as well... bought t-shirts for the men in my house too..... also bought a pair of slippers for my mum......

I had not gone to Bangkok for quite a number of years..... Remembered the last time i went, i didn't go to those night bazaar..... only big shopping centres..... Went to Suam Lum Night Bazaar, i found that the bazaar has quite a lot of things to buy, n at a reasonable price....

the last night in bangkok, i went to thai massage with Yifen, while Weixin n kris went to the 1 in the hotel...... The massage was rather comfortable.... felt so relaxed... i always had back problems, so i can't travel for so long..... after hours of shopping, my back will feel ache.... as people who know me well should know that my health has always been poor..... i love shopping, but my back problem gave me a stop after hours of non-stop shopping.... had to surrender.. haha.....

Soon, i'll be leaving for Taiwan for my x'mas.... Hope i can have more fun there.........

Bangkok Trip 6th-10th Dec - Scared Scared


Just in a few more hours' time, i'll b leaving home to Changi Airport, Budget Terminal, to Bangkok for my holiday with 5 other women.....

Actually, whenever i leave for holidays, the one who i'm most concerned n worried is my precious puppy, Coko...... I'm afraid no 1 bring him down to pee n poo, though he knows how to go to the toilet if he needs to relieve...... But it's better to bring him down n take a walk......

I'm afraid that he will have his dinner late..... coz most of the time, i'm the 1 taking care of him..... wat the hell..... i'm not the only one who wants to keep him, but in the end, it's like i'm the only 1 to take care of him...... i will always miss Coko so much when i'm not in S'pore......

I'll b back on Sunday noon...... evening then go Pri sch's best friend's wedding.....

Hope my precious son can sleep well, eat well, play well......

Nokia 5300


Yesterday i went to purchase a new handphone again..... i like this colour n type of nokia phone.... so after some consideration, i bought this N5300..

though til now i've not really explored the extra functions of this phone.... but i'll try to find out more during the weekends.... Nokia phones, to be frank, are almost the same features.... there are 2 colours for this model, but i think red is a much more striking colour compared to the grey one...

Me n Bong are using the same model of phone now!!! haha...... N somemore today is our anniversary.... yesterday midnight i was watching Man Utd VS Chelsea... it ended ard 2am... then i msg him to say good night... who knows he called me back, in the middle of his sleep, and greeted me with 'happy anniversary'..... At least has some improvement ya??? haha...

Dun ask me so much about this phone ah.... i still haven find out what else i can do with this phone..... haha....

Back to the old days


how i wish i can go back to the past...... to the past when all of us were so innocent n naive....
Sometimes i do think to myself, if we can b so simple, how grwat it would be.... in the past, we need not worry about anything... as we grow older, problems arised, troubles bcoming complex, all things changed to the worse....
i dun like such a stressful n demoralised lifestyle.... i felt very weak n sick of such life.... can we go back to the past???? when everything was so simple??? A means A, B means B... n not A may be B, B may also mean A..... i blif i can't adapt to such living standards... Will there b any1 who will bring me away from such misery??

Staff Retreat @ Yishun Safra 22-11-06


today morn, as usual, doing SEM.... in noon, all of us proceeded to Safra Yishun to have our staff retreat.....
We had activities like shooting n bowling.... it's been a long time ever since i bowled... think i should go polish up my skills... getting worse.... we played 2 games, only scored 100 for the 1st game, 110 for the 2nd... not good enough.... can b better lah.... keke
I'm always troubled n tend to imagine lots of things.... n i must find a place to vent it out, or else i think my brain will burst very soon.... depressed man....
Dunno y i've been thinking of so many things, but if u ask me what am i relly troubled about, i can't give u a definite answer, bcoz i think i have too many things in my brain that made me confused of what exactly i am thinking about....

Though had quite some fun today, but was really tired.... it's been quite some time ever since i exercised.... ever since i had asthma 5 years ago, i stopped most of my activities.... stamina went worse... health as well.... for ppl who know me for many years should know i'm a athlete in the past.... was greatly involved in sports.... what a shame....
I have a conclusion on why i kept having problems in mind, mayb bcoz i dun find security.... many ladies dun have so many problems bcoz they feel secure, secure in the way of the ppl around them, esp partners.... for me, i dun find such security.... felt very blur n unsure of the paths in front of me... am i thinking too much?? i'm not asking much actually....
i think i must try not to think so much... must try to enjoy my holiday trips.... so if 1 day, or a moment u find me daydreaming, please try to 'wake' me up... or else i'll keep thinking n drifting further n further.... when can i feel secure?????

Last Day of School 15/11/06


Finally, it's the end of the term of 2006.... clearing all the work for the rest of this week n the next.... next week will be a VERY busy week before we can go for holiday..... our school's official holiday is 2nd dec.....
Though i had a hard time in 2006, but was rather sad that my 'darlings' are leaving for the other teacher next year... i've requested to take back my demon Wisdom.... hehe... but dunno whether will get them back or not.... depends on the school...
It's the last day of school, so i brought my camera along.... There i took photos of Wi1 children... Some of them asked me if i'll still be teaching them next year, but i said not sure... After all, kids are kids.... they r too naive for anything...
Though we are all unsure of future stuff, but hope things won't get so hard 4 me.... i know i do not have the stamina to hang on for so long... aniway i've taken enough MCs this year, hope next year won't b so taxing.... but on the other hand, it also implies that if lesser workload, may result in poor performance bonus... coz no chance to perform... haiz... i dunno what to do... i dun wish to be so ambitious, bcoz i'm afraid i may not b able to cope, afraid that ppl will say things about me.. so i think i better be myself n remain in my job scope....
Soon, we'll get to know what class we'll be getting.... Any form class?? Any other big duties to go?? what 2007 is going to be, i'm really curious to know... What i believe is, i think 2006 goes off very fast, so 2007 may b a slow year to cross....

What i did on our Deepavali Holiday in-lieu 09-11-06

Early in the morn, i went to meet my bf for breakfast.... he requested not to do OT that day because we already settled to go Chinatown to pay our remaining amount for the Taiwan trip...
After paying the remaining, it's like 1 of the stones being put down..... something settled... got our itinerary, e-tickets....
There we went to Vivo city to take a walk since we had never went there b4..... N since it's a weekday, we assumed that there won't b so crowded... but still got quite a number of ppl leh... i was wondering if most of the s'poreans dun need to work one oh??? keke
It was rather big.....we went to eat secret recipe for lunch... then took 1-2 hours' time to walk around... i controlled my shopping desire... n luckily i did it!!! Bong bought a pair of Fila sandals n socks..... All i bought was Jolin's Karaoke... Another collection into my rack...
Today still has to go n work.... Weekend mood is here... actually when the exams were over last week, i'm already in HOLIDAY MOOD! Quite worried that my finance is going on RED..... Serves me right lah... haha...
Btw, just pray that holiday comes asap.... we can only have our final break after 2nd Dec!!!!!! that is the only time when we dun have to go sch... n think about sch stuff!!!! Come faster ok?

SA2 Exams finally over! How do my pupils fare???


After months of toleration n busy schedule, our busy days r finally over..... But of course, we will b rushing marking exam papers, doing standardisation, analysis n etc... doing work to clear 2006 before handing over to the next 2007 teacher.
During SA1, my Faith1 has performed better than my Wisdom1. To me, their standards are much better than Wi.... Wi has a whole, is rather weak... whom we called them as International Class... ahahahaha
After much energy wasted on how to deal with my active n noisy Wi1, finally found a cure to deal with them... Now find it easier to pin them down w/out shouting..... in a way, i think i'm satisfied that i managed to find a way to handle this bunch of hyperactive kids, but on the other hand, i find myself quite lousy that it took me 8 months to find the correct 'medicine'....
When your 2 classes' standards are quite poles apart, u would naturally put your attention more towards the weaker side...
When i counted the total marks for SA2, i was rather surprised... Wi performed much better than FA1... Wi managed to have 22 scoring Band 1, which is above 85 marks, increased by 13 people. FA has 17 Band 1.... which only risen by 4 people.
But something to be consoled, both classes had 1 failure each during SA1, now they managed to cross the red line.....
Though Wi has given me lots of trouble n misery, but mayb because of all these, i'm much closer to them compared to FA... I even volunteered to take them back in 2007 as their form teacher. Hope i can have them back, at least i know what their strengths n weaknesses are...

Karaoke Session 29/10/06 @ JE

my usual favourite pastime.... KTV!!!!! Same gang of people..... Something disappointed with Kbox JE was that, their mic was not really good.... I had always been rather particular about the quality of the mics..... Luckily the food that day was still quite acceptable... but since their mics were not in an excellent quality, i think i would avoid going there animore if possible lah..... coz after all, among all Kbox, JE's branch is the nearest to my home.... After singing, we went to IMM Coffee Club to have coffee n chat... as usual lah.. talked anithing which is under the sun.... with my 2 best friends..... Kelly n Jasline How i wish i can have such a time with them all the time.... we are all busy with work n personal stuff, so when i have the chance to meet them, i'll try to catch up.... i just hope that in the future, when all of us are settled down with families n children, our friendship can still b strong n firm.... In my life, to be able to find a confidante isn't easy to come by... I was lucky n fortunate to have Kelly with me. no matter when i was happy or depressed. she'll always b there when i needed her most... she is the 1 who understands me the most, more than ani1 else... how i wish i can keep this best friend with me 4eva.... i will never want to lose this wonderful friend of mine..

Mum's bday at Sakae 25/10/06


It was supposed to be a tuition slot for me that day, but becoz of this woman in my house, whose birthday lied on a Wed, so had to push forward, so that me n my bro can help her celebrate... For those ppl who know me rather well will now that my sis had flown to Dublin to work... Dad also went to Philippines to work, but will be back on this coming Saturday....
I asked mum whether she had tried Sakae or not, she said no.... Bro was actually thinking of going to Swensens, but i decided to bring her there to try the food out....
Though just the 3 of us... but life has to go on as usual lah.... We ate quite a lot of food... & most important was, i ate 3 Chawanmushi, which is my favourite!!!!!!!
Every year, we will give my parents a treat on their respective bdays.. will try to make it a family feast.. but this year was short of 2 persons... but nvm, we'll gather soon again, I know...

27/10/06 Happy Birthday! U R 1 year old!

How time flies.... a few days ago, which is 27/10/06, my car turns 1 year old! More years to come...
It has always been my dream to own a Picanto... n finally i got it.... Luckily was that, it is still healthy.. which is accident-free lah.. haha...
I was pondering n in a dilemma to get which blue.... for those who had seen these 2 colours before.. after a few minutes of consideration, i chose this lighter blue.... I had not regretted getting this Picanto... In fact, i'm rather reluctant to get a big sized car.... looks strange... i'm so small in size, to drive a big sized car is like a dwarf driving...
Hope i can stay free from accident..... i still want to have this LOVE of mine for a few more couple of years.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
