Aiya laining again!

My frozen yoghurt dispensing is getting better! Can make cute swirlies now yay! I'm le hungry... Had a small yoghurt when I left work but it has since dissolved. Have got 10min to eat before I must trot off to tuition. Come soon oh much desired food!

Ah, as I predicted, it's raining! And heavily too. But not a fantastic guess as it's been raining every day. Ever since my first tuition lesson on Wednesday where I walked through the storm, Stirring my feet in deep waters along the thin drowning path, it's been raining for every lesson after. Thursday and Friday were even more zhun. 3pm in the afternoon it rains. Today is considered early! Not even 2:30... Rain rain rain. My shoes get soggified one after another! Sigh. And I can't wear slippers.

It's fun working at red mango! A bit stressful when there are many customers and I'm trying to read the itsy words on the cash register, but fun nonetheless. Fun and refreshing and healthy! Yea, I'm working there cuz I have tuition and can't do other proper jobs. My sis is also working there, which is why I got to know of it.

There are so many things to remember, I hope I dont screw up the machine...

Anyway it's only 4 hours of my morning each time and only 2-3 days a week so life is good and fair. Tuition tuition here cometh I...

Oh by the way, yesterday, the brat was worse than she'd ever been. Gosh. Imagine the levels of bratness little squits can reach. Hers is like level 100 and advanced. She just decided not to do anymore work halfway and just there. Her grandfather came to intervene, and she just said she didn't want to learn anymore. Just saying no to everything. It was dam irritating and the grandpa walked away saying wa jia lat. If he jia lat then I what man... Siao, I'm not school discipline mistress leh, ask me discipline the kid.
The mom came back and 'told her off' all smiles and strawberries and I went home 8 minutes later. -.- wa almost cannot Taganrog that bratty kid! She learns nothing! Cept that she can get her way all the time!

Well at least she's paying for my food and transport -.-

She said always look forward, then things won't feel so bad. But it's the past I miss and I have nothing to look forward to. Nothing but my own eventful life, without your share in it.

Can I keep on sacrificing more than I can give?

I'm being eaten chunk by chunk.

And taste bitter.

My new student is a china boy! Tian ah, i most certainly did not expect a pure china-Chinese speaking cherubic little tear-drop eyed boy. He is the poster face of a seven year old china boy. Chubby and bald. Conversing with him, I feel like I'm talking to the class china scholars all over again! I'm teaching him English of course, crazy hard cuz my Chinese is near crap. But quite good cuz I can expand my Chinese vocab teaching him! It reminds me of the days I wrote the English meanings beside the Chinese words in the helping box, for filling in the blanks later. Now he does just the opposite! Write the chinese version of the English word! Thus I learnt what stuff like plumber, carpenter, etc is in Chinese. Yes, I never knew it before okay.

Today was a good lesson. He is very entertaining in his hand actions. He was telling me how his teacher only gave them 30seconds to use the bathroom in strongly accented china-nese (yerng tao instead of ying tao).

Oh but I super like his house downstairs. There's ntuc, watsons, guardian, 7eleven and even a sushi shop! Waa dam nice for a small little neighbourhood leh! Millions of things to satisfy my eager eyes! I just took a trip around the ntuc. Just gotta love supermarkets. More interesting than arcades lor. One day I'll memorize every item and their prices and recite them for fun.

I'm so glad it's so interesting around there since the lessons are 5 days a week and thankfully, 15min walk from my house.

Ahh have to start walking to tanah mrt soon for ze little brat's tuition! I got pink Easter eggs (dammit it was so ex) to bribe her and hopefully make my life easier.

Tut tut it looks like rain~

I am a-waiting to watch my 3rd movie this weekend. (seraiously nothing better to do hor) yesterday we watched kidnapper and how to train your dragon. The former was quite traumatic and the latter was ecstatic. ok no sense but the point is how to train your dragon was super nice! Especially the 3D effect of it all, properly made used of unlike in Alice in wonderland where barely anything was even close to being worthy of the effect. The humans were butt ugly as always, but the main dragon was cute, and that was enough. The boy's father looks just like obelisk. So yes, if you want to have a better day, watch that movie. Not kidnapper. That was heart wrenching and tear jerking for me! Gosh, not a movie has pushed me to such limits since what was it - bridge to terabithia. Since the days of watching penguins be eaten by killer whales(and having to chose which was cuter after witnessing such savage nature) I have not easily wept from the effect of a tragic scene!

*spoiler ahead*
the scene btw, was the one where he beat up the suay chap who tried to steal his cab earnings, while shouting that the $ was to save his son.
*end spoiler*

yup.
Watch how to train your dragon!

As I fail to fall asleep despite having retired to bed about an hour ago, I have no choice but to sit up again, do something else and later repeat the cycle again with one hopeful success of an attempt. I know not why such a simple action leaves me in such great difficulty. It tires me to try yet ironically I am trying to ease my tiredness. This late sleeping makes me lethargic in the day yet as I try to solve the problem, I achieve nothing but more failure. I need some kind of escape! I wish I could find a way without the bodily pollution of sleeping pills and the like. I feel I have nothing on my mind! But my subconscious tells me otherwise. What more is there to be done? I just want to fall asleep. What about that could prove so hard?

On a side note, reading Sherlock holmes, I have realized that the movie somewhat presents quite an accurate picture of him! He is clearly more eccentric than we could have imagined... Huiwei! If you read this, really the movie is quite accurate... On another note, sir Arthur conan Doyle uses such formidable vocabulary that I can hardly keep up with 3/4 of the words more than 6 letters long. I understand little of the content but make up for that with the simpler words. Perhaps my inability to sleep is due to being overwhelmed by his profoundity. No reading before bedtime.

On a last note.
If a man be precipitated by a train, let fire be stung by the rain.

Time for sleeping attempt II.

Oh yes, forgot to mention... The hammie died on 11th March. He was still so adorable, I found him sitting in the 1st story orange bowl after returning home from work. It was as if he crawled in there purposely, as his resting place. I took him out cuz i was gonna feed him his meds [which i had been doing successfully for the past 2 days because he struggled very little]... I sorta had a fear he might be dead cuz there was no movement as i lifted the little bowl out from the cage. I poked his ear, and there was no response. I poked him and well, it was clear he had entered a never-waking sleep. I was so sad at that moment i just wept and stroked his tiny fragile little back, feeling so sorry for him and how weak he had been looking. The swell looked better, but i have a feeling he died from lack of food, being unable to eat with such a swell in the way. He refused drink though, so i can't be so sure why he died.

Anyway i buried him downstairs in a little hole, his body still soft, probably died not too long ago before i found him.

welcoming a new phase of life once more...

Changing job, again! This time trying what i would never have ever thought of trying in my long, sad, anti-social life. It couldn't be that bad, i must tell myself. Afterall, ahrong is just around the corner from my workplace! Okay, not really just around the corner but like relatively near so i won't be luncheoning alone hopefully!

First time that my job needs actual office clothes, sadly, thus i have to be poor before i can earn anything. My grand total of office clothes was 1 yesterday[purposely buy for such office-type interviews then forever wear the same thing] and now its 2 today cuz i had to buy another one for tomorrow. Ah. I need at least 4 to last me through a week of work. So i shall have to get two more and then keep recycling them, wohoho. Imagine wearing the same 4 sets of office clothes for 4 months. Sian or not sian! Of cuz sian! Far cry from being able to wear class-tee and jeans to work can.

The job is very strict, no handphones during working hours, they have to be permanently locked away in the lockers. It's even emphasized that only ENGLISH is allowed. Every minute late for work is $5 penalty and 15min and thereafter is $10! It's just gonna be work work work until 6:30pm and disappear.

I am reading Sherlock Holmes because i am clearly becoming stupider with each passing moment. I hardly write, or blog, for that matter [and i will try to do so more often to train my brain] and this has undoubtedly led to me slowing down in my ability to express myself as freely as before. I even got tricked by anna's lame joke [which mouse walks on 2 legs? ... which dog walks on 2 legs? ... which duck...] okay, shan't reveal too much in case he wants to trick more people like me.

I shall write more! Hopefully that will be a possible cure!

CHEESEBURGER ENLISTED TODAY.

sigh. but it was kinda like a normal event overall. He'll only be there for 10 days and then will be out every weekend. Plus being able to call back everyday is not so bad. And he'll be fine. i went with his mom dad and bro to see him off.

his mom came to fetch me supposedly at 6:30am but the alarm clock didnt ring and her phone call woke me at 6:36am -.- siann. Anyway i was downstairs by 6:45am. fast right. Anyways we went for breakfast first, then off to the ulu place.

They had like a tour[and ZESTIN was our tour guide. coincidentally -.-] and performances for us from 9am+ while making the guys strip somewhere else secretly to check for any hidden evil items. Well they didn't tell the parents they were bringing their kids away to be stripped of course, cheeseburger just told me later when we met up again with them at 11pm to eat army lunch. His parents told us to go walk somewhere and then come back for him to fall in at 12 but he spent half the time re-wearing his shoes and socks that his bro called and said everyone was falling in, though it was only 11:30am. So we went back and he just went off and his mom was sad cuz she didnt get to say goodbye. So we ended up getting special permission from the inspector to let us follow them all the way to the multi purpose hall[of course we stayed outside], where he was called out and they had their goodbyes and then we left. I hope that didnt make him get singled out.

After that his dad insisted on getting something to eat, cuz i guess he was hungry, so we had some anpang yong tau foo[i kept thinking of anpan breadman everytime they said that] which they said is the malaysian style of yong tau foo. It was okay, nth much about it, they just wanted me and cheeseburger's bro to try it.

Cheeseburger's mom then had to visit like 10 000 banks so i waited for her in the car while needing to answer an emergency call of nature, which i did get a chance to, thankfully. And then she sent me home.

Fed Run his meds and then went for piano.

Yea i brought my sis's hammie to the vet yesterday morn. He has an abcess growing near his mouth, pushing everything to the left side. It looks so bad i feel so sad looking at him.He looks like a manatee, or a moomin. It's swollen up on the right side of his mouth and nose area and the vet said its hardened pus inside and she tried to scrape out quite a bit of it. It was like mozarella in the hammie's cheek. And there was blood. I don't know how she does it, she just held the hammie in a cloth in one hand, covering its whole body and eyes, revealing only the mouth. She poked about in its mouth while it wiggled, but she somehow managed to keep it in that position!! I need to learn that cuz i have a hard time trying to feed him his meds from a syringe. I need to do it twice a day. one is 0.02ml and the other is 0.05ml. It's SO little i can barely tell if it even went into his mouth cuz even a nudge to the syringe already dispenses that tiny amount. I'm pretty sure he licked up the liquid though, before knowing what it was. Good thing the amount was so tiny cuz he refused to have anymore. I tried holding him in the cloth way but he kept wiggling out, so i guess i just have to keep trying. My sis said to get him grasshoppers as a reward for eating his meds but i'm scared they might get stuck in his abcess.

The vet said the meds wouldnt be able to reach the hardened area though, cuz its already hardened... So the only way would be through surgery, which would involve general anaesthesia, which the tiny little thing might not wake up from. Sad sad fact. I left it to my sis to decide and she doesnt want it to risk dying so we're just trying out the meds for now. The vet tried to remove as much cheese as she could and man was there alot.. she just used a cotton swab and dug and out came lumps of bloody cheese. That swabbing cost $10 on top of the consultation and meds. The whole thing came up to $40.70. People might wonder why spend such a huge amount that can be used to buy 4 hamsters! It should be understandable that Run is our precious little hamster and we can't just leave him like that suffering... He looks sooo ke lian.

Anyway im feeding the meds cuz my sis is not in singapore -.- nvm. is a good experience.

Oh there was a mushroom that grew overnight in Burger's cage yesterday night. Dam gross and smelt like a dam strong pungent raw wild mushroom after my mom pulled it out. It wasn't there last night when i re-filled her waterbottle!! Gosh. I had such a huge shock man. It wasn't just any mushroom it was a long headed whitish greenish mushroom standing tall and proud amongst the hay!! Thankfully it was in good shape, meaning Burger hadn't gone and tasted it, so i immediately threw out all the bedding and cleaned out the entire cage. So er xin i'm cleaning her cage twice a week from now on. Probably the water that dripped out from her bottle helped it grow cuz it was standing right in front of the bottle.

okay. enough of my epic life.
