Was chatting with Mark over a shitty client that he is handing over to me.. and was totally caught in surprised…..

Mark : “Have you watched the Simpsons ?”

Me : “Ya why…”

Mark : ” HAR HAR !” (with the maniac plus mimic resembling Nelson Muntz)

Me: * SHOCKED

Well, I’d never expected that from the dongiveadamn, donbotherme Mark …. it’s either he’s sense of humor has been wickedly growing, or he’s got a closet girlfriend that is a Simpson fan.

oh well…

… he makes a good impersonation though ! *lol

Thanks to certain disasters, the network has been pretty slow.. and me being a very ‘nua’ person.. didn’t really spend much effort updating it.

Hmmm.. Anyway.. as most of the people know.. I’ve just switch jobs recently.. and I stumbled across a colleague’s blog which practically described me as…

I’m so going to burn in hell for talking about my colleague here…but i don’t care.
This is about my strange new colleague whom i hope never reads this post.Anyway, moving on…

I think he built a semi shrine for his gf.

Yes, a shrine.

No lah, not this type of shrine.I meant the other type of shrine. The online kind.

I am scared of love-crazed-romantic-hopelessly-devoted-to-their-significant-other type of people.

And I find it so strange that a guy is keeping a weblog of activities he does with his gf.
If he were, like 13, i’d be totally okay with it. But he’s not and there lies the problem.

Anyway, check his blog out if you like. He is Chiron.

Duh? Well anyway.. you can check her blog out here.. she’s got some real funny articles …

Lydia will flip if she knows that there are people actually being decieved into thinking that I am the sort of love-crazed-romantic-hopelessly-devoted-to-their-significant-other person…

Well.. my first christmas with my new company… its my first month here actually… and we had our own special christmas party…

This picture really represents the scenario I’m in now. All of them still under the shelter of NHHS while I’m leaving for new pastures.

I’ll miss you all.

Brought the boys out for a photography trip at chinatown today. The idea is to get nice shots to participate in a photography competition. So we worked out a black & white collection, and thanks to James parents, had beautiful prints in 8R as well.

Some of the pictures today,

This photo looks real good in print.

The old guy did his part real well.

My turn to act poser


I like the wandering feeling

Chinatown MRT Station

My boys, future young talents


Well, which reminds me of own black and white collection which I took at home a couple of days ago. Couldn’t resist.. Had to pose for my camera.. after 2000 shots.. So eh.. don’t flame me at being a vainpot alright ? But just noticed.. tough to take photos by timer against a blank background.. thats why the focus wasn’t there.. Really need to practice..

Alright. I know I only can pose in that particular angle.

Which also brings me to a day out with Lydia in Orchard.. she went to the dentist.. to catch a couple of photographs..

California Fitness

Taka Fountains

Guess where this is ?

Had a rather peaceful weekend .. only headache was my assignment.. and the new chores I have to do which include disposing dog dung.

Today is the last day in school. Guess its also the last day I’m gonna see the kids. The kids are really active and sweet. Wish them all the best. The sec 4s as wells.. hope that they do well in their Os.

Anyway.. had our closure dinner yesterday.

My clique at work. No sean, no jiangming.

Another hectic and busy week passes… And I’m still hectic and busy… Injured my ligaments on the ankle during a basketball expedition in Choa Chu Kang.. And therefore was on MC monday and tuesday… Was on Off-in-lieu, wednesday .. so went to purchase my new baby, Canon EOS 400D.. As a new hobbyist, and a poor one… Sigh * really couldn’t afford to buy additional lenses. Anyway, sister is back this week from shanghai.. so her beautiful purchases became my models for photography.. I’m excused from RT due to the sprain.. so I think maybe would postpone to a later date…. Anyway.. Here is the breakdown…

Friday 6 OCT 06, Mid-Autumn Festival at Sentosa 12 MN

Sentosa on a hazy foggy night.

Went down to Sentosa with my neighbourhood buddies, like every other year, we usually would light up the whole place and play with candles.. had a terrible time cause I sprained my ankle earlier on and walking in the sand was a hassle.

Declaring their love for us

So we carried on with playing sparklers and the girls decided to show us how much they care.. heehee.. okay lar.. we gave them this item coz its so easy to do…..

Jurong West St 52 528 Boys

We prefered to show our loyalty to our neighbourhood. I burned Vincent’s hand in the process.. heehee..

Burn Baby Burn!

Ryan’s choice of putting all the sparklers on the ceiling and them lighting them up together.. Beautiful I have to say.. Okay lar! I did a bad job with the photo.. Dunno how to operate Vincent’s Camera mah !

The Gang

Almost every year I celebrate this event with my buddies.. let’s hope we’ll carry this on next year !

Other than that.. been a day of muscleaches.. I dunno why.. but my body is acting up.. sigh * still got RT coming in october.. dunno how to tahan..

Anyway, picked this article from miw.com.sg , which used to be the NSMan’s url before they changed to NSSG, now becoming a guys online male mag…

Interesting !

Pub liners Ladies don’t want to hear.The moment any guy opens his mouth and throws a woman a pick-up line, his words immediately override his looks. A bad first move can transform a stud to dud in a flash. Babble, mumble or stumble and the proverbial cold shoulder awaits. Language can pose a problem. So be sure the woman understands you, otherwise even the best pick-up line will have zero effect. Here’s a tip. Be alert and discretely approach the bartender as she makes her order, and listen attentively. Granted the din in any pub may require raise voices, avoid shouting into a woman’s ear. Use a pen and pretend to fumble for a loose piece of paper to write down what you want to say. You don’t want to pull out a note pad, which can appear nerdy or make you seem as if you do this for a living. Truth be told, a woman likes to feel special, as if she is the only one that got you to act with ’such uncharacteristic spontaneity’.
Be careful with your tone because there is a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Eye contact is important and emphasises your genuine interest. Unless you want to end up scraping your melted ego off the floor, forget about a false front or slang. You might impress upon some unsuspecting female but if a woman consciously chooses to sit at the bar solo, she knows the game and its players.Mannerism and approach aside, cheesy pickup lines can leave us feeling more flustered than interested. I solicited the help of my girlfriends on one of our recent girls’ night out at Boat Quay to build a list of really bad pick-up lines. Three pubs later, a decent list was developed and here are seven of the most common ones we heard that night. All cheesy, all lame and all, well, unoriginal.
7. Do you come here often? How come I’ve never seen you before?
6. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
5. Are you a model or something?
4. Excuse me, can I buy you another drink to cool your hot body down?
3. Are you looking for some fun tonight? Hi, my name is Some Fun Tonight!
2. You look like my ex-girlfriend.
1. You look like my girlfriend. (Duh!)

The pick-up lines that worked best were simple but yet promoted conversation, e.g. about the music, the place, the people and compliments that were not too over-the-top. ‘Yes-and-no’-type questions get you no where. Talk about yourself too much and it’s a turn off. Ask too personal a question and up goes a defensive wall. So just go with the flow and take things to different levels each time she issues a hint verbally or through her body language. A woman is unlikely to take her seat at the bar wanting to be alone for the night. It may not be sex she’s after but chilling company. Still, it’s a step in the right direction. If you come off like its sex that you must end the night with, chances are, a cold shower is the only thing that will offer you comfort for the night.

Going to leave for Bintan in an hours time. Just finished with my TMA project session. Was doing some management module. Quite unmotivated to do this TMA though, seems like very sian…

Lancer decided that McNuggets would do better for black eye rings more than lemons ! And oh that was Leslie’s foot

Anyway, was with the kids at Singapore Tourism board. A proud win for them ! Got in 1st and 3rd for the Still Image competition. Out of 221 entries !

I really need some face slimming

Still need to pack my bag ! Gosh ! 2 hours to BINTAN !

Have to settle for Mana Mana as Manya Sari is fully booked. But confirmed ! Bintan here I come.

Anyway.. Had a kick of doing the duck pics yesterday so did a few more today for the fun of it !

Duck Fight !

Spidey Ducky

hmmm…

Was at the tour agency to confirm my Bintan Trip…. followed by dinner at Kuishinbo. Full. Woke up about 4 am to do some work. My photoshop kee tao hong liao.. think its because I install too much fonts ! Getting ready for school !

Schedule for Friday

1. Class in the morning
2. Some admin work late morning
3. Rush off to Singapore Tourism Board Auditorium
4. Dinner at home
5. Group Project for TDSZ360 until wee-morning of Saturday

Like that where got enough rest ? Everybody think I very lobo. Wait long long, head long long.

Anyway, something Lydia bought for me on the weekend.

Works well with Skittles !

Was looking at a group of students doing their Art & Craft Project. Their Art lessons involve Adobe Photoshop. Digital Art lessons they call it. And for Sec 1 classes ! Wah Lau ! During my time we were still struggling to draw peanuts !(I was in the Arts Stream in upper Sec anyway.) And the students are still complaining! Sometimes it scares me too. Cause at the rate the kids are being exposed to technology, the faster people of my profession are in danger. I mean who needs professionals when there are so many young talents ?

Anyway,I was in a cheeky mood today, so I tried doing the same project they are doing.. Well they were suppose to do a poster thingy with this duck.

And so I made the duck into my own design of the BEACH DUCK !

Need a break soon. Really tired.

I can’t believe it, the 209 people actually took their cameras and started snapping at me. I don’t mind the snapping part. But at a time when my complexion is so horrible ! Or at least when I’m more prepared ! duh… Anyway, starting to feel sick again.
Had small chat with the Sec 4s, they were talking about me having my own fan club.. to be frank, what fan club ?? The kids were practically just needing my help with their work (Not my subject somemore!)! Yes, I may find my name in many of their blogs, but with practically 80% of the kids not bothering about my lesson, just shows one thing, I don’t have one. And anyway, I personally shun away from students, I don’t have those little gathering with the kids and planning activities and giving em pep talk. I just can’t be bothered. But my upperstudy is impressive. Left with a good reputation. Had kids doing farewell video and all.. now thats what I call fan club.

Wanted to add this, cute har ?

Was late for school today. Actually wasn’t that late, but was busy reading the blogging entries of the kids. Wah Lau ! Can’t believe they all say I’m lazy for not opening the lab for them! Guess they don’t understand that I don’t want to be a kaypoh being a jaga to them especially when it is not my subject. Just because I help them open the lab once or twice, makes me obliged to open for them always.. where can like that ?? And although all my lessons are in the lab doesn’t mean I’m the only person with authority in the lab mah ! Get the teacher in charge ! Not me !
I know most other teachers do not want to view their students blog pages, due to unneccessary criticism or horrible comments, but I do, I at least want to know, what affects them ! Every small action we do, that we don’t even feel, actually affects the students a lot. And I am trying to improve by knowing what is actually happening. Besides, I’m still in the learning process of teaching teenagers ! And boy are they tougher to teach than adults. Well.. at least I dun have to scream at adults !

Had a photo with class 211
