BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! :D

nah. just joking.
hahaha i realised that i havent been updating!
yup, life has been quite happening recently.

1. no more kindergarten :(

i started to miss them as soon as i bade them farewell.
no more mr happy :(
well, at least i did learn quite a lot from my job.

like how to be a good parent.
like how to make use of creativity in learning.
like how to talk nicely to children.
like how to control my temper.

many times i felt like flaring up when children irritate you or bully you,
but somehow something seems to be holding you back,
and you tell yourself to CALM DOWN cos they're only CHILDREN.
and i think it's amazing as to how i did it.

i was quite touched when my beloved Selene came up and said that she will miss me.
i guess that's how most teachers feel on teachers' day,
that all the shit they have been handling over the months are written off.
these words of affirmation are just so simple, yet so powerful.

the kids asked me "Cindy jie jie, where are you going?"
i replied "to school, like all of you."
and i find it ridiculous cos i'm not even sure of this fact myself.

speaking of which..

2. UNIVERSITY

I have not received any reply from NTU regarding my appeal application. and I really really really really really WISHED PRAYED HOPED WANTED to get in. and I don't mind if I'd lived 2 years shorter for this wish, really.

currently, i'm still stuck in the dilemma as to whether I should take up NIE. strictly speaking, it's not that i'm against teaching or anything like that, but taking a degree in education as advised by many people, it's a one-way path with no return. i know it sounds harsh, but yes, WELCOME TO REALITY. and i truly understand myself that I could never commit myself to a lifetime of teaching although it's a secured ricebowl of any sense.

so all I can do is to pray hard that my appeal is successful,
hoping that those who got in want to appeal out and is successful,
hoping that NTU will increase its intake and lower its expectations.

ohgosh i sound so bad.
but that's how desperate i am.
pray for me.

3. Taiwan trip

was quite fun though I didn't buy as much as my sister did. I'd nearly wanted to make a Singaporean version of "CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC" starring my sister.

the best part was of course, FOOD :D, as usual.
marion says wherever there's food, there's cindy.
i think she's right (: hahaha
i prolly ate too much heaty stuff which led to my sexy voice of today.
i swear that i don't sound myself, and more high-pitched than usual.
see how disgusted i was.

yeap. and 1 piece of advice.
don't take travel bus if you intends to go hualian or gaoxiong from taipei.
they'll take you to a curvy forest route with all the sharp turns that is 2390576185231854 times worse than the route up Cameron Highlands.
for someone who has never been carsick and is still alive and jumping even after taking the Big Eye rollercoaster with N revolutions and upside downs,
i'd actually vomitted just by taking this stupid route.
but the scenery in the midst of the forest is spectacular, i have to agree.
that's the price to pay for it.

overall : 4/5 stars

4. Confirmation Camp

it's the camp i've been planning since and it's sure amazing how smooth it went. worked with many youths that has been in church since dono when but i'd never talked to them before, including e****.

with me and another 2 girls to 14 guys, i bet you can imagine the havoc and craziness. i was practically squawking through praise and worship, and they had quite a difficult time waking me up i think. those crazy people who did not need sleep kept disturbing me! hahaha. to think that i'm the 2nd overall-in-charge that is suppose to make sure everyone wakes up. it turns out the other way :D

not to forget, the memorable NOBODY dance by jon and geff. sexy guys. i'm so envious man. at the same time, marion and i are haunted by this song. imagine someone humming this song into your ear in the middle of the night while you're sleeping. isn't it creepy? both of us dreamt of this song yea. but i think m is more haunted by it. hahaha.

through just 3 days, i think i can almost see through some people. new faces and familiar faces alike. people with amazing greatness and big hearts that i never knew, people with astounding abilities and hidden talents, people that reveal their true self that is different from what you see in the few hours in church every sunday.

at least, it made me understood someone that i've always wanted to understand. although what i discovered may not be pleasant, but i'm still glad i did before i could make any further mistakes. hopefully all of them enjoyed themselves and I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE THANKSGIVING PARTY ALREADY! :D
