やっぱリーワーのデーザインがもっときれいだ！値段ももっと安いだ。。。指輪をかってから、いつも嬉しいね！
we bought a similar design. but from lee hwa. hurhur. my destinee... now he has one too..and lee hwa gives more discount.oh the design. just that the while gold part is now glossy finish. it's pretty... i love rose gold.... hee. sweet. tough choice between 2 pairs but i simply love the rose gold. custom made rings coming our way in august!
2k plus for a pair of rings. if it's only to last us a lifetime, i think it's very worth it. *beams*
i feel like getting the rose gold diamond pendant... hahah..

holiday has approached @ 5:43 PM
so how did we celebrate it? i stayed in school with Hong lin to rush out our pair work assignment.............. till 7pm! brrr. while our friends had already been eating in Kuishinbo for an hour, waiting for us. dear came to school to pick us up and off we went to kuishinbo. hahah dom dom dom. 123. we are kuishinbo....~~
i tell you, me, hl and d' really whacked the food. we ate really fast and a lot. because we entered at 8pm and we were famished!! nice food. very expensive. cos each person about 45bucks. but quality is there =) i'm going hanabi for its buffet next thursday with jiehan, ruth and emily. woohoo~
i reached home at 5plus that 'morning', oops.
saturday was doing bits of my report but it was alright. dinner was at ang mo kio because d' wanted to buy the wii game Mario kart. the game is very interesting. haha. just like donkey kong but much cuter and less tiring. haha d' was quite lousy at the beginning....
sunday. erm. i did my report the WHOLE day. 11am-12midnight. yup.
monday was my 4th mandarin lesson with maureen. she was so funny telling me about chinese sounding like cats. hahahha. i laughed so hard and was tearing. glad she found the book useful. i was busy handing in reports after that. u feel like you have thrown away burdens... many many! when you push the reports into the teachers' mailbox. (they don't call it pigeon holes) =) last one to go!!
tuesday. which is just yesterday. i followed d' back in the morning and i played wii!! played donkey kong, mario kart & cooking mama... felt so relaxed. hurhur had fun on my own. when d' came back (took half day leave), we went for lunch at ang mo kio again and i just can't control the shopping urge. after which was toa payoh HDB hub. we signed the lease yesterday!! =) gonna get our flat most probably at the end of 2011. weet!! so excited. we have already thought of what kinda furniture and decor to have. we were discussing the wall colors last night...
like what i said, i can't stop spending. i bought a polo tee. bought it because of its nice color. dark pink....my fav shade of pink. because all other shades of pink do not appeal to me at all.
we decided it was time to start looking for the bands. we have already seen some from goldheart (service sucks) and lee hwa (excellent service from vivo & ms). we went into the soo kee in toa payoh. v good service too! after trying on like 16 pairs? we finally found a pair we both like...
because we are not having the ROM this year, we will have more cash for stuff like rings. i think we made the right choice not to hold it this year. =) i am still rushing out assignments up till now so i don't think we will even have the time to do any planning for the big event which was supposed to be held in june. ha! that will be mission impossible la. d's dad knows about it already. he said 'good'. he's a man of few words. so i suppose he likes me after all. hee. the grandmothers from d's side are happy. especially his popo i think. hahah...
we shall go lee hwa to look for that same design. more discount. perhaps we will settle with a destinee instead of brilliant rose... =) *beams* dear, don't upgrade my ring. i like this ring just the way it is. you will get the chance to buy a bigger diamond for me in the years to come!! if you remember the deal. hahah...
oh we watched indiana jones later in the night. quite nice. it's a shame i start watch indiana jones from its 4th movie. so as all of you can tell. i really enjoyed myself yesterday man!! haha a true holiday. relax. enjoy. have fun. hee. i should enjoy more. practicum coming soon. 5 detailed lesson plans a week. that's enough to scare the shit outta me. anyway, i'm happy for now. YAY.

quick playback. @ 1:29 AM
i saw paula but we didn't talk much. i drank in the end but did not get drunk. i was hungry but i did not get to eat much. BUT it was still fun. :) AND i finally got to see jOsH...next gathering no more bbq pleaseee. let's have some home delivery~
here are the pics!
then on Monday the hoiday , i rushed out my report for C-Lit. which was not good enough. so i edited it on tuesday again. you see, i am always typing report on holiday. partly because there is work to do and also because i had wasted the long weekend away. relax like the real long holidays are here. that's the problem with me..
tuesday was the micro-teaching. it went quite well i would say. good job, team!! =)
i met d' on wednesday. we went to get his citibank cards and he has received them already! got my referral TANGS voucher. can go shopping with that and my rebate. hurhur. i think i forgot to mention. i went to the ISETAN private sale last thursday with mum, godmum and amanda. bot a kettle for d's hse. haha. and i bought a dress and white cardigan for 140 bucks from tangs. i am a spendthrift. intending to wear it on HY's wedding on the 7th!! haha i spent like what. 250? for 2 dresses and 2 pairs of shoes...
okay back. wednesday!! 21st MAY marks our 35th month anniversary! muackkksss!! i love you baby!
thank you for carrying my shopping bags around... please do not think i made him spend on me again. i paid for my 3 pairs of shoes... and my perfume on my own. another 130... is this an indication that i am rather stressed out? i avoid work by shopping. BAD MOVE. 
i stayed back till 7plus with Hong Lin today to do our assignment. we'll stay back to complete it tmr..she's going back to her home in china for 2 weeks. i think i'll miss her. her crapping. haha. i baked cupcakes for the class once i reached home. brrrr. hope they taste as good as before.
last day of school with the nice classmates. and we're all going to the schools in end june. my mood? a little worried... yet a little looking forward to practicum.... dilemma.
i spoke to them yesterday. how nice if everything is just fine? but i feel fake when i talk to them happily and smiling (because i was really feeling happy at the moment larh). tsk. i hate this kind of feeling.

updates @ 7:40 PM
you know, sometimes people are ridiculously weird. they write complaints against people on their blogs but remove it once they know the people whom they wrote about have seen their posts. i despise such people. i mean, if you are able to complain so much and think you're right in every way, let your posts remain there! by leaving them there, i will still respect you even when you're such a ridiculous creature, for you stood by your stand. you did not even manage to do that. instead, you deleted your whole blog. ha! you're hopeless.
the class thinks you're ridiculous yet pitiful...
it's a painful process for us all too. because we have to see your face. your incredibly awful face that's filled with hatred for the classmates. EVERYDAY.
if the whole class can get along and you just can't. why not reflect upon yourself? the problem may not lie with us all. it's probably just you. recall your past. have you managed to make friends easily or you simply have problems getting along with many people? is there something with yourself that has to be changed? the perception that 'everyone is wrong and you're so upright' is your problem.
when the rest of the class is getting along well with one another but just leaving the few of you out, please do not comfort yourself with that warped mindset of yours. that's all i wanna tell you.
okay back to myself. the classmate issue has finally surfaced recently. i have to do something because she has hurt many classmates. have always wanted to type in chinese but i did not expect it to begin because of this issue.
wanted to type my essay today. but i ended up sleeping and surfing net. gotta work on it tonight and tomorrow. tonnes of work for that last week of school! violet can officially enjoy her holidays from 30th may onwards! till 22nd june... do ask me out for gatherings and stuff! hurhur.
gonna have a 3d2n camp in nie from 11th-13th june for my GESL project... langkawi is most probably out for me. d' is not going to get his leave... so... i can only wait for our Taiwan trip this december! woohoo!! another trip with my hubhub! and tangmama can show me around and i can see her daughter then. ahhaha... eat sweet stuff together with her daughter. muahaha.
this thought struck me a few times just today. we're happily enjoying ourselves in singapore but people in myanmar and china Sichuan are suffering each and every minute. we're indeed fortunate, aren't we? pictures of children corpses and their parents just bring tears to my eyes.. the world has suffered a lot in the recent years... punishment from god... i believe in that. but i can't really accept it when it struck all of a sudden and cause so much casualties. please, let there be less disasters this year...

模范学生？？ @ 11:32 PM
我们对同学无礼。你指模拟不配合吗？
我们没有正确学习态度。你指问“合宜”的问题吗？
你以模范老师自居，然后在上课打瞌睡，身体头部东歪西倒？
你以模范老师自居，然后在同学作业上留下苛薄评语？
你有正确学习态度？笑话吧！
我确定你绝对不懂做“人”的基本道理。
你这种人，没有权利批评全班同学。
乖，去看医生吧。
虽然治好的机会不高。。。
（脸部肌肉僵硬的问题，也顺道治一治。）
失败者 @ 1:20 AM
你是个怪胎。相信从小就是。
人际关系搞得一塌糊涂，这应该是你的强项
不与同学沟通，只与电脑为友，这是你可怜的人生
用诗暗示同学有心机，这是你的小人之心
不满需要帮助的同学得到提示，这是你太看重成绩
希望看到同学上台难堪，这是你的病态
写下同学的罪状，这是你自认清高
把自己写过的东西一次删除，这是你的懦弱
这不是文本，而是我对你做人很失败的解释
这不会被删除，因为我不像你
也因为我要你看得到
再送你两篇。。。让你知道你的名声有多臭。这下我成了‘出版社’。让我告诉你，大家可能都会踊跃投稿。
你虽然自命清高，你可知道别人对你的评价有多么卑微？
你虽然自认聪明，你可知道别人对你的评价有多么愚昧？
清高、聪明，不是用分数算出来的，也不是用排名排出来的。
更不是污辱、轻蔑、鄙视、仇恨别人所能造就出来的。
一个不懂跟人沟通的人，如何跟学生沟通？又如何与同事相处？
与校长、副校长的沟通固然重要，但与你的同事、学生的相处又何尝不重要？
或者，在你眼中，你的同事、学生只能在你的电脑文字中出现？
沟通一点都不重要？？
一个人的人品是全面的。
不是1分、2分这种“单薄”、“可笑”的层面而已！
在你眼里，所有人都是屎
只有你是最好的，只有你能当模范老师
masters又怎样？scholar又怎样？
IQ高（虽然实在看不出）又怎样？
我能肯定的是，你是个EQ零蛋的家伙
不会与人沟通
只能通过博客发言
目的是什么？
让ICT老师看？
我们沉默
不代表我们懦弱
只是不屑和你这种人一般见识，贬低自己的智商
奉劝你一句
“睁开你的眼吧，小人。”

random. classmates whom you wish you will never have @ 7:24 PM
about two classmates. okay. three, rather. one is a middle aged woman. not appropriately dressed at times. 摳脚。咬指甲。spare us.. asking questions at the wrong time or sometimes she simply asks weird questions... pestering lecturers with those questions of hers... sometimes i wonder why she is employed... her chinese pronunciation has to be improved.. but most of time, i'm still fine with her as a classmate. but sometimes! her words just freak you out and you just wanna %$#@@!!
one is this sweet-looking girl... i've been wanting to write about her since feb. because she made herself look super bad back then. as in someone who really can't take comments. we were asked to peer edit each other's group work and my group edited her group's. instruction was "write an essay for teachers. Be concise" they gave this few pages work. and they used very difficult words. so you see, our comments were 'a tad too long. would be better if simpler phrases were used'. and on the first day of new year, she posted this on the course blog that belongs to her. each of us has a blog for that course. we have links to each others' blogs. so you see. HOW SMART of her.
we saw things like 'dedicated post. mai siao siao.', 'did we do too much? i don't think so. we have a model student (the person im gg to talk abt next) in our grp.' 'i thought this is for a group of professional teachers? which in this case are simply not professional', 'so you see i'm not a friendly person, bite me.', 'not happy issit? Sue me.'
woah. i'm simply impressed. wasn't that comment simply harmless? my group did not even bother to check what others have written! after we edited, they even explained why they did it that way on the same page. "come on..... get a life!" i would say. so the angry violet wrote smth like this to them on the page; "sorry for causing so much unwanted unhappiness, if i had known your group member (LINK to her blog) would get so upset, we would not have commented at all."
from then on, 我就看她不爽了。
but in the past 2 months, we do see an effort from her to be nice to the classmates.. her face was PMS shit everyday prior to her change in behaviour. i wanted to befriend her. like get to know her. because we're classmates who will be together for few more months. why make trouble.
she is always with this girl kl. kl is the model student. scholar type. so very erm smart larh. well, not exactly. anyway, kl is not close to us but i have always thought of her as a very polite person, at least controls her emotions well. but i dunno what the hell is wrong with her. she became super pissed off with everyone else in class. she sends email to discuss things when she can simply talk to us directly in class. the subject was rather pointless and no one replies to her. (i will say that was pretty much the expected result la) she looks super pissed off now each and every one. she has these nostrils so high up and she looks super pissed off!! i hate her look!! like seriously. you're unhappy with the whole class??? we're so happy together...! so are you jealous? that we have fun...and you've become an outcast? are you thinking very highly of yourself because you think we're not as PROFESSIONAL as you, not smarter than you?? well, like what another friend said, being professional includes being able to handle working relationships well. her interpersonal skills sucks big time! whenever i see her, i feel very disgusted. how can someone look so ugly and unhappy all day long....? she is obviously unhappy with the entire class.... she's showing it to everyone..! and my friend gives the above mentioned two stares whenever she sees them. well, i have yet to reach that stage.
what made me really disgusted with them was when they showed disrespect to fellow classmates. you see, we have micro-teaching and the other classmates have to pretend to be your students and attend the lesson you have prepared. they did not participate in other people's micro-teaching... we were told to do some work by a pair of classmates. they did not ask us to prepare beforehand so everyone were doing it on the spot. these 2 freaking women did not write a single thing on the OHP slide and we thought they did not have enough time. so when we exchanged, we wrote more sentences on their slide. but when they returned ours to us, there was still nothing. i was very mad already. how can anyone be so mean??? well, angry me was cursing them and saying i will not cooperate for their micro-teaching as well. the whole class will not as well. since this is their way of showing COOPERATION. what made me even angrier was when my friend told me she was hopping mad to see that those 2 assholes were writing unfriendly comments on the helping sheet the pair of classmates had given. when they handed in the OHP slide and helping sheet to the pair, they said 'these are not helping phrases at all'. AREN'T YOU DISGUSTED????
i seriously think they are brought up without people teaching them what it means to be respectful to others and also how to act like proper human beings. 要当老师，却连最基本的礼貌也没有。品行修养都有问题，那要怎么教出好学生？？
so yesterday was their micro-teaching. no one cooperated. we went up to talk nonsense. their feedback was good planning and lesson plan. but from what i can see, they have lost all support from the class.... that was their greatest failure. we always clap for each group for their effort. but not a single soul clapped for this pair. the whole atmosphere throughout their presentation was awkward. 我真的只能说，场面是难看到一个不行！！
i am feeling quite upset over this matter. i actually wanted to befriend the 'sweet' lady but the things she and her forever-pms friend have done make me unable to bring myself to be nice to her already. i used to say hi or at least smile when i see her. i don't do that anymore. i don't wanna look at her at all. but she's still all nice to everyone at times. then why do those things??? i am confused by her attitude and behaviour. i was mean, then good, then now bad towards her. i shall never change my attitude towards her anymore. it's tiring. and i will be the same as her if i change again.
weirdos in class.
anyway, i am being posted to st. margaret's secondary school for my practicum.

updates @ 5:43 PM
i have been kinda busy these few days. something happened to my very good friend. too many break-ups recently. 3 friends already. what is it? breaking season? tsk. i am quite affected by all these.
went for a haircut. finally...the first time in 6 months. treatment plus cut. neater now. the stylist told me i must help my friend pull through this period. but i must not believe that the same thing will happen to me, otherwise, it really will. i am affected in the sense that all these people around me ended their relationships which have lasted more than 5 years... what does this show? love doesn't mean anything.... time doesn't mean anything... people change over the years... there is no everlasting love.... it may happen to me too... does love mean anything at all...
*shakes head*sulk*
my dear friend is coping very well. i really love her. i want her to get up from where she has fallen and move on in life. i believe she can. :) it's also very nice and warm to see that all the classmates care about her and each other.
i.............. just don't feel like doing ah piao's work. i shall wait for dear to come pick mum & me up for good pig organ soup dinner! oh, i went for my first lesson with an american teacher today. I am teaching her mandarin. haha quite fun.
okay. that's all for now. and i bought this ytd..... just realised jas bought some specs too!

really long post @ 2:24 AM
you see, i'm so busy i even forget i have forgotten about my blog. i used to remember "i have not been blogging for quite a few days". now, i completely forgot i have a blog! NIE... you're good. you're good. i will forever remember how packed my monthly schedules always are. i had to type report on my public holidays, do e-learning assignments even when lecturer says we don't have to attend classes in school... having to check my schedule for dates for outings, and then feel extremely disheartened because i see the amount of workload ahead for the whole month. my life. is like THAT now. that is why. i need the getaway to Langkawi in june with the guys.
so, the previous post was about me being mad at d'. we shall continue from there! i went shopping with hong lin dear babe on friday after school last week. we were so happy. hahaha.. she held my arms while shopping around like a butterfly in Robinson's raffles city. Took her advice and bought a Swarovski crystal pendent necklace for mum as Mother's Day gift. it's pretty... all nicely wrapped up. =) first expensive present to her on my own. bought her a super big card as well.... i wanna make it up to her somehow. haven't been accompanying her much. cos' i'm always out with daryl. that's something i always feel guilty for. but. whenever i wanna stay and accompany her for a day, she will just happen to go out that day. bahh.
d' kept saying "buy whatever you want k. charge to my card" hahaha. yah. swipe till you *plop* when you see the bill. i am not SO mean yet. i bought a dress for myself from this newly opened boutique. "ZTYLE". it's nice. HL & i tried few pieces. i think i tried 7. finally decided on a grey one with a black ribbon at the waistline. flatters me and completely matches my newly bought Gripz heels. *smiles* i had dinner with HL and her bf because d' was having steamboat with his colleagues.
on saturday. i was enjoying my weekend, no joke. i did no work at all. just relax and play! haha. after tuition, godmum brought amanda & i out for lunch at paragon's ding tai feng. before that, something happened in the carpark and i really admire godmum, for her way of handling such a situation. she is my role model. for all in life i suppose. why did i choose to become a teacher? she is the answer to it. oh, i made amanda wear the same colors as me that day. haa
we had yummy food and xiaolongbaos!! and the fat-free ice cream. we went taka, far east. they were buying clothes and accessories. i had to control my spending so i bought none. dear came to pick me and he bought me a bikini set! i like i like... hahah. very pretty. we went to meet jasper & taiwanese gf, ryan, mervyl, joe & nita. had tze char at chinatown temp market. MAN SOU is how they call the stall.quite nice. then we went to mount faber for more! nice ambience. drinks will quench thirst but kill you with their prices. so we had finger food. 10dollar per pax kinda finger food. yeap. anyway, pictures!
that's the group going to langkawi as well! as if running to 2 places was not enough, we went to west coast park at around 10pm. felt like kids again. there's this super nice and fun turning-round-and-round game at the playground!! super exciting. ahhaha. i screamed. we sat down... and discussed our trip. nice bunch of friends.sunday. hehe. i really like my bikini so i wanna flash them at the beach. (ahem, flash the bikini, nothing else) after the bad suntan 2 years back, we decided to get over our phobia and embrace the sun again! we went to sentosa for the first time in 2yrs 3mths. i look fat. getting tanned might help to give false impression and that i am slimmer. muahaha. the luge was fun! the skyride was HIGH. dear was scared.
hahaha. he laughed at me saying i look weird in the helmet. hmpf. you guys help me judge. who looked worse. muahaha. i applied sunblock lotion this time round. and had a 30min tan, felt super tired after that. dear din wanna apply the sunblock and he who did not want a tan got the tan. while i was only slightly slightly tanned. my friends said "huh!? got tanned meh?" -.-'''i went back to his house. and i became a housewife. i ironed 10 shirts in a row. 3 of his dad's. 7 of his. *proud* hahah. nice subway dinner marked the end of that day.
come monday, i was very mad in class. crazy classmates made my blood boil big time. selfish creatures. i wanna tear her (their) body (bodies) apart. not sure whether to accuse both or just THAT one. selfish bitch. none of us will cooperate for their micro teaching. since this is how you 'cooperate' for others' micro-teaching.
tuesday was a painful day. ouch. i wore my heels. i showed my legs. hahah. finally. wore shorts to school. what did i get in return. yes, praises. hahah. lots.and 2 big horrible blisters. i swear. it's by far the most painful and biggest blisters i've ever gotten! went to meet ZG, HuanYang and Glen at vivocity. thanks to ZG, who walked slowly with me (i had to!) despite having hunger pangs and dying from it soon. hahah. dinner at secret recipe! nice grilled fish set for me!! it was really good. yay! received the red bomb from HY. he's getting married in JUNE. i feel so happy for him!! i bought the dress for his wedding~!! gonna attempt to conquer that pair of heels again too. he invited daryl & me. hurhur. first time an invite with my name on it!
that's me and the super nice chap, a married man-to be. one good catch less for all the women out there! marche desserts were up next. fantastic. hoho. the mousse. i lurvvvve it.wednesday night was yet another sinful dinner and GREAT companionship! i had my babes with me @ holland village! *BREKO time* dear went with me. to eat and be photographer. hurhur.
our silly actions. my burger. our table full of food. (we must have been too hungry to have ordered so much) june joined us later and we both had burgers set. a gathering once in a month is all you can afford when all of us are working (ps is graduating soon!) but i guess that's quite sufficient to bond the feelings and ties. we feel happy. we feel at ease in each other's presence. i love my 3 girls. muahhhhhhh! oh forgot to mention that presentation on wednesday afternoon went well. haha. super not prepared. because i am getting quite sick of presentations on school. i do the english ones. while my other friends do the chinese ones. first time i get praises saying my presentation skills are good! hahah. why? because i am SLOW. and i seem confident. i smoked them i guess... here are my classmates. i have many other nice and bubbly classmates. but these were the four who were bitching in the library. hehe.
NIE library's 3rd floor is a place where i will definitely miss... yummy cakes, cheap & good coffee and drinks, comfy sofa (for you sit back and do work OR bitch about others)THEN,labour day means........labour. played wii first' thing in the morning when d' and i woke up. only we know the reason why. hahaha. had nice char siew rice for lunch. long shopping in AMK hub's ntuc. nice zion road char kway teow in the night!! i finished my report in the end. nowadays, my classmates and i do our work half-heartedly. there is simply too much to do, too little time.
i finally had the time to collect my graduation photos today. went looking for albert court mall on my own. my smile was stiff in the picture. hahaha. but nvm. bought it for remembrance sake. all my dear friends, remember to keep smiling when you receive your scroll!! and make sure you are already smiling at your best when you turn and look to the front (at the photographer). it should be safe this way. had KFC family feast with mum & dear @ clementi. family bonding time. mother-daughter bonding time. hahah. she thanked me for the meal. i just wanted to have dinner with her. paying was nothing. i want to give her a pleasant surprise this mother's day :)
went to imm after sending mum home. dear made me super pissed off at him over a parking lot. i saw a lot. i told him to reverse. he just went on. and then. we missed the lot. he just did not want to reverse. so funny hor? he said he can only drive forward. best. then when he did not get it. he said it was not a lot. until...... he saw a lorry trying to park there. %$#@!! he pacified me with.... a cup of anderson's ice cream. muahaha. i have a horrible boyfriend. err. reading thru my posts, all of us now know why i have grown so fat. but i realise i am quite happy. hahha. food. my favourite.
okay. it's 3.50am. byebye!! not sure if anyone will read the post till this point. haha!
