Caucasian Invasion

man...the weather has been a killer for the past few days except today. it was hot hot hot all the way and it affected me physically..a.k.a..i look even more damn fugly lah! pimples sprouting on my face and my shoulders (Ack! there goes my boat neck blouses!) and my hair..frizzy, freshly washed or not, doesnt make any difference. today's rain had been rather hopeful and my umbrella had been in the 'storage' for so long that when I took it out finally, few threads came loose when the wind blew hard at it. good thing the bus stop was rather nearby.


you know what i notice about my neighbourhood recently or even during the mrt rides to work? there's a sudden influx of ang mohs or caucasians ah! no..im not complaining coz if i do, i need to be slapped across the face for not appreciating their presence but then again do slap me if I look at other people's ang moh husbands who are so darn good looking. They have blended well into the heartlands that it can be quite a sight..a good sight i mean...seeing them mingling with us Singaporeans. Yesterday I even saw this caucasian couple with a malay lady besides the commonly seen caucasian people living with chinese families and im guessing they are staying at her house. hrm...should i sub let my room? only single male caucasian (preferably good looking) in their mid twenties can apply. the rest...pls look further.


well...im looking forward to the weekend! like what i told mariah, my onlie source of motivation is not harry potter's movie, but the ramen dinner..heh (i love spicy japo food!! as long as they're cooked and not half cooked or raw..)..yah i know...im lousy. Friday...most likely i would be having a small gathering with another three of my close knit colleagues at secret recipe. For once, I dont have to admire the cakes behind the glass displays and sink into one!!! this is an indulgence that cannot be missed! lunch for the past few days had been sucky and im anticipating tomorrow wont make any difference. cant i just have a decent bowl of bee hoon noodles or fish ball noodles WITHOUT gunks of swimming oil?! they seriously need to do revamp this whole healthy eating campaign among the malay food stalls instead of just promoting dunno what slimming programmes lah or herbal diet pills lah coz seriously, Singaporeans love to eat. So go to the core of it! Provide healthier eating options and alamak mak ciks, it doesnt take you much to pre boil the bee hoon noodles instead of relying just on yellow noodles or kway teow noodles because it is much easier to prepare.


So much for preaching when Im gonna end up eating a plate of banana chocolate cake later....


well, i dont call it a once in a blue moon indulgence for nothing!

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
