Xmas is here once again... and soon New Year will arrive... actually these few years... didn't really wanted Xmas to arrive so fast... cos it only means.. my hols are going to end... and it's back to a new year of more and more work...
went to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks with Hubby on 14th Dec... and took Ah gal to watch it again last week... really love the 3 Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon & Theodore..
i simply LOVE Theodore.. so cute!! esp when in the movie, just about Dave was going to chase them out of the house.. he replied " But.. we talk..." so cute and innocent~~ and also when he juz had a nightmare... wanted to snuggle up wif Dave... he was so cute... simply adorable.... i wan a chipmunk as a pet... ^.^Some pics of the cute little chipmunks...
here's the trailer... enjoy... for those who haven't been to watch this.. it's a MUST-watch....
also on the day when i brought Ah gal out to shop shop and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks... i went to get acrylic nails with nail art... so nice.. hehe.. simply love it.. although the 3d nail art and long nails made life a bit more complicated... lol... i'm quite a clumsy person lo...and with those nails , have to be more gentle a bit when handling things...Yesterday was Xmas eve... met Hubby after his work... and we went out to Vivo City to watch "I am Legend", a new show by Will Smith... not a bad show.. it's about humans contracting a disease due to a vaccine invented by a doc.. the vaccine is supposed to cure cancer, but in the end, it became a virus which humans turned into man-eating creatures and preyed on the remaining humans for food... Will Smith of cos.. is the hero in this show...
from the trailer, i expected it to be slightly more action packed... but not so in the end..but nethertheless, not a bad show... here's the trailer... enjoy...
After the show, Hubby and i was walking ard Vivo City to look for a place to have dinner, while waiting for Min and Jason to meet up with us....while walking ard.. we saw something real funny... a little rat appeared out of nowhere and scuttered past us.. and ran towards the escalator... the escalator was going up, but the rat keep trying to run down... it was such a funny scene... and attracted a big crowded watching it... created a bit of comotion... hehe.. managed to catch few blur pics of it...
Finally after that.. someone caught the rat with a plastic bag... and i think he dispersed it off... after the funny incident... Hubby and i made our way to Shin Kushiya for our dinner... Shin Kushiya is a Jap restaurant that deals in selling charcoal grilled food... we ordered our food... and waited for Min and Jason.
Our drinks~
yummy grilled set part 1~~yummy grilled set part 2~~ yummy grilled set part 3~~
Dinner set~~
Dessert... yummy tofu cheesecake~~
just after we finished our dinner... Min and Jason arrived... after settling the bill.. we walked around... and booked tickets for a midnight show at Tampines Mall..
we reached Tampines Mall at ard 11plus and we rotted in Macdonalds until our movie time.. we watched National Treasure 2...
The show was great, action-packed, quite humorous and yet exciting... worth the watch... another recommended show for all.. even thought i did not watch National Treasure 1, i still find this show great... hehe.... once again, here's the trailer for u to enjoy...
After the show... Hubby sent Min and Jason back home... then we went to nearby Min's house to eat some dimsum... then reached home ard 5 plus in the morning...
this morning ... got woken up by noises from a procession on the road infront of my blk of flat... and saw lion dance... dragon dance etc... then i saw a giant lion head... it's really beri big lo... think need 3-4 people juz to support the head.....
ok... i admit... i'm a sucker for stuff that are cute and pinkish... so when i set eyes on the new digicam that my sister Elise bought... so cute and pinkish , and fun~ (yup.. fun... u can edit pics on the cam.. add cute little pics and icons etc, it's touchscreen!), i knew i had to get my hands on this pink darling...
so... TA~DA~~, introducing my newest addition to my pinky collection, my hot pink Sony T2 camera~~ i love this camera...there's only 1 word to describe it.. and that's "kawaii"~~Hubby got gala premiere tickets to watch "Warlords", “投名状”on 8th Dec, Saturday at Shaw House... it's a movie by Andy Lau, Takashi, and Jet li , about 3 brothers who took a blood oath, went to war together etc... not a bad show... but tempo was a bit draggy... some parts might make u sleepy... hehe....
Invitation card~~
And yes... we got to see Andy Lau in person, he so shuai de lo~~but too bad when in the cinema.. we were sitting right at the back... so didn't managed to get a close up shot of him...
After seeing "Warlords", mi and Hubby went on the Plaza Sing to watch another midnight show, "The Golden Compass"... I find this show beri nice... quite like the story... but it seems "Harry Pottery~"... lol... but worth watching... looking forward to the next instalment...
And... my next show? i wanna watch Alvin and the Chipmunks!!! they are so kawaii~~!! can't wait to see the show!! Last week... took ah gal out for shopping and eating... time flys so fast.. she going on to Pri 2 le... it seems like juz last year that she came as a toddler to my house... and she getting prettier le~~ she's beri smart too... hope i have a daughter like that next time.... hehe....
yup.. my so-called holidays are finally here... after 1 year of tough work, the time to rest is now.. i always have mixed feelings about my year end holidays... when there's no time to rest during work days, u pray for holidays to come...
but when the holidays really arrive... u realise all u do is to rot... some of u may say , take the time to meet friends u haben seen for a long time... but alas... friends all working... then when holidays are about to end.. i will start to lament about how fast days pass, not enuff time to rest etc...
but however, when my holidays end... it means it's another new year... new classes, new challenges, and this year.. more new colleagues, less familiar faces... always tend to wonder what class will i get, how would they behave, etc... but hope my classes next year will be like my classes this year... quite like my classes this year... really had fun with them this year... and seeing their improvement thruout the year.. i really feel a sense of satisfication.. ^.^
my group of P6 Wushu baobeis are graduating this year... they were wif mi ever since wushu started in my school, to me, they are like my own kids, will really miss them when they go on to secondary school... however, hope they will excel in secondary school and go on to greater heights...
sometimes, i wonder... am i in the right career? am i suitable for this job? am i qualified to guide and educate the young? am i a good teacher? sometimes, i simply wonder.... when i see students improving, i really feel a sense of satisfication, but when i see students giving up on themselves, i feel as though i'm to be blamed for that.. is it my way of teaching that's wrong? or my approach to them is wrong?
there was this period, where i really wanted to quit teaching... disappointed and sad... that was really a bad year... things weren't going well, lotsa stuff cropped up... stress took a toll on me... nearly broke down... but i survived thru it.... yet sometimes when i look back on ... i start to think, will this kind of thing happen again? how will i cope with it then? haben tot of a solution yet.. lol.. but nethertheless, i love to teach... thru teaching, i learned things that i didn't noe b4 too... we learn as we teach... so for as long as i can, i will continue to teach so as to continue to learn...
