Brought my car for polishing today, and went to Kallang to celebrate Tuofeng's birthday. There's this Japanese restaurant 日本村, buffet lunch for students at $14.99, and adults at $17.99. Sashimi is part of the buffet menu!

Alas, I had my filled before i went, and no buffet for me.

A big enlightenment from Kenny today, he taught us that even though Sushi are serve cold, you still have to blow on it to cool it further. Although we see no logic, but since he did it SO convincingly, we just had to believe him.

Don, the person who suggested playing 终极密码, brought a big serving of Wasabi to our table. Being the nice guy around, I had to help them with the numbers so I'm not involved in the war. Well, I guess KARMA plays a big part when you suggest such stuff to play with.

Guess who ate the most Wasabi and had to tell us to stop playing?

Overall, nice day and I had fun. Happy birthday Tuofeng!

In order to assure the highest levels of quality work & productivity from employees, it would be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (S.H.I.T.). We are trying to give employees more S.H.I.T. than any one else.

If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T. on the job, please see your manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T. list, and our managers are specially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.

Employees who don't take their S.H.I.T. will be placed in DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEE EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T.). Those who fail to take D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T.S.H.I.T.). Since our managers took S.H.I.T. before they were promoted, they don't have to do S.H.I.T. anymore, & are all full of S.H.I.T. already.

If you are full of S.H.I.T., you may be interested in a job training others. we can add your name to our BASIC UNDERSTANDING LECTURE LIST (B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T.). Those who are full of B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T. will get the S.H.I.T. jobs, and can apply for promotion to DIRECTOR OF INTENSIVE PROGRAMMING (D.I.P. S.H.I.T.).

If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEAD OF TRAINING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T. S.H.I.T.).

Thank you,

BOSS IN GENERAL

Adios!

Finally in a long time, I've stepped into the theaters again. Watched 2012, and I personally thought it was a fantastic show. Something so realistic, both emotionally and physically.

The question comes to mind, when you ask yourself;

"If this is the last hour of my life, what do I want to do with it?"

I find no need to remind my loved ones how much I love them, but if the time comes when it's my final hour, I might finally have the courage to tell those whom holds special places in my heart what I feel. Maybe it's a wake up call from the show, I shouldn't be waiting till that last hour.

Whence the last time you told your loved ones "I love you"?

A Blonde is having a great day.

She is walking towords the elevator and notices it's leaving.

She starts to run, but a man holds it for here and she makes it.

When she's inside she starts thinking 'I'm in a really good mood, Ill share it with that man' Then says "T-G-I-F!"

The man looks at her and says "S-H-I-T"

The blonde is startled then says "T-G-I-F" again.

The man, again, says "S-H-I-T"

The blonde says "No, T-G-I-F, Thank Goodness Its Friday!"

The man replys "No, S-H-I-T, Sorry Honey Its Thursday."

Adios!

13th Nov Friday the 13th

Since it's friday the 13th, guess who I saw at Orchard?

Irene Loh and Junyi!!!!!!!!

I think it's really a very pleasant surprise, I haven't seen them for ages, almost an entire year! Not much changes though, still as "cute". Hahaha... Irene is going to kill me if she sees this.

Busy busy through the "holidays".

A professor is sent to darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe. He spends years with them, teaching them reading, writing, mathand science.

One day the wife of the tribe's chief gives birth to a white child. The tribe is shocked, and the chief pulls the professor aside and says, "Look here! You're the only white man we've ever seen and this woman gives birth to a white child. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened!"

The professor replied, "No, Chief. You're mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence, what we in the civilized world call an albino! Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black one. Nature does this on occasion."

The chief was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell you what. You don't say anything more about that sheep and I won't say anything more about that white child."

Adios!

Tomorrow is the last day of O levels, I wish you guys all the best and enjoy your holidays from tomorrow onwards!

These few days without O levels has been boring, and to say the least, not even exciting. Luckily my ride has been entertaining me for quite abit, but damn finally it's that stage of my own life! I haven't been able to take any good pictures of it, because quite honestly I didn't really care, haha. But I'll get a picture up as soon as..... I remember.... yea that's right.

My 3rd batch graduating, I still remember vividly how it was like to teach in Deyi. Then stuck out on my own, where the first 3 months of start up, I was practically eating grass. I'm glad I stick it out, and everything turned out fine now. I'm also really glad to meet all 200ish odd of you through out these 3 years.

There were many days when students would ask me, why do I do what I am doing, even though I have a degree. Maybe I can finally answer all of you with concrete proof now. Let me ask you back, is it better to have;

1. Sense of satisfaction from teaching,
2. Free time,
3. Earn cash.

Which do you choose?
Because quite frankly, is it too much to ask for ALL 3 of them?

I haven't been able to achieve all 3 together yet, but I think I will not stop trying.

I'm not some hypocrite telling you I enjoy teaching and I don't care about anything else. I still want my money you know! So I guess my current direction isn't all that bad, now let me get going and work towards combining those 3 together from now on!


DDOJ:

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his neighbors Halloween Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't taste like alcohol at all. He didn't even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.

Jack had to force himself to open his eyes and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in Lipstick:

"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Jack asks, "Son... What happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.

Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??"

His son replies, "Oh THAT! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, "Leave me alone, I'm married!!"

Broken Coffee Table: $239.99. Hot Breakfast: $4.20. Two Aspirins: $.38. Saying the right thing, at the right time. . . PRICELESS!!!

Adios!

4th Nov Last Day before Paper

Finally, it's the last 12 hrs before POA ends.

For some of you, it's the last you'll see POA. For others, it might come back to haunt you in the higher levels of learning. Nonetheless, you did what you could, and be proud of your results. Last year, the same thing happened. I wrote an ending blog post for the entire work year. This year, I'll be doing the same.

Let me begin by telling you that it's been really enjoyable to teach most of you out there. Those who put in effort, you really saw your efforts turn into results. Thus, you should be more confident about yourself.

Everyone of you left such deep impressions in me, some mentally and some physically. Financially this year, I've been doing well, but I think I could have done more to help some of you. If I didn't manage to, I apologize. But if I did manage to help you improve your grades, it's not because of me alone, you worked for it yourself too.

Today, 4th of November, marks the last day which I shall call you guys as students. We will no longer have that kind of relationship, and I will no longer be a teacher to you. As of tomorrow, 5th of November, once you step out of school, I'll be proud to say that I have gained 60 more friends, and not that I lost 60 students. (omg my income)

Welcome to the first step of stepping into the adult world, my dear friends.

I will miss all of you terribly. My days will not be the same without you guys jumping around me anymore. Some days I will look back at all the photos and say, "Omg, so-and-so used to look like this!" For some even, tears of joy might flow just by reminiscing the good times we had.

Hopefully, our friendship can last more then just 2009.

I will remember every single one of you in my heart.


All the best, Adios... !
