last nite was on a late train home. sat opp a guy when i boarded the train who boarded the train too. then a few stops later, a gal boarded the same carriage and sat beside him, she looked really exhausted and was carrying a big pinky hello kitty bag and a laptop on her hands.
she leaned onto the guy's shoulder and held his arm, then i realised they're a couple. haha.. after that she closed her eyes, falling asleep from the exhaustion. the guy gently stroked gal's hair, tapping on her shoulder gently, rousing her to sleep. while the gal was asleep, he quietly open the outside compartment of his backpack and took out a small paper bag, inside looks like some food.. he held on to it until the gal woke up. he then passed it to her and she groggily just held it, head still resting on his shoulder.
this simple encounter made me feel so lucky and lonely at the same time.. erm.. why leh? cos dear is as sweet as the guy also, always lending me his shoulder, dear is not beside me on this lonely nite tho..
im waiting for u to come back.. 1 more day b4 i see u.. :)

the most significant place i've been to is the disneyland. of cos, if u've been to disnaylands in other parts of the world, u would've think that hk disneyland is crap, but i find is one of the best theme parks i've ever been too (yah im suah ku!) haha..

Dunno whether u can see carefully, it's a courtesy badge i got in Primary 1. for students who are courtesy and kind. me? haha.. can't say that i'm courtesy cos i dun talk mah.. maybe cos i dun talk means there's less chance to be rude?anyway, the typed out words in black says: " P1G, ZENG SHIYUN" which at 1st glance seems like PIG!! and i realised only today when i was looking thru my old stuff.. hmmph.. to be called a pig thruout pri 1 without knowing it.. haha..

yesterday went for a bbq organised by my sec 1 class which i'm teaching them maths. erm.. but i think most of the work is done by the 4 teachers present. meaning setting up the fire (which we do not have much luck and skill), fanning the fire, bbqing the food. the kids are prolly too young to know how to do so.. there's a couple of kind souls who came ovr to help flip the food, spread the margarine, and i can say they are really nice kids. if there's really so much work to do, then why do i say it's fun?
fun becos i saw many different characters from the kids, uniting as a class. lemme highlight some of the outstanding ones:
- Ms Xiao Fan: not her real name, but we all nickname her that becos she is irritating (fan!) and rude. she wore short denim skirt, off-shoulder -top with spaghetti straps, and blue eye-shadow!! @_@ she looks like a kid but doesn't wan to dress like one!! *faint* and u know what she did when we were waiting for the bus? she took out her makeup compact and used the mirror to try to clean off her blue eye-shadow.. er.. why put make up if mum dun approve? waste time, waste $, next time u have complexion like me u'll cry (not that i put lotsa make up in the past?)
- Mr Chicken Little: he's kinda irritating but i dun really mind him. he looks like chicken little with glasses and hairstyle quite similar LOL, sometimes he speaks as if he's a mature guy, yet sometimes he's just a petty little boy. his voice quite irritating tho, which i think better call him nan (boy) fan (irritating)
- Mr Russell Lee: actually u all will not understand why we call him Russell, cos he looks like this naughty sec 3 boy called "Russell", tho not as naughty. the resemblance is splitting that some teachers will accidentally call the wrong name on their 1st wk of sch, which i ALMOST did. this sec 1 boy i start to find him irritating, with all the vulgar words from his mouth. but well, when ppl gets on my nerves, i'll hate themuntil they change.
- Mr Nice-Guy: he's one of those few sweet boys who stayed by the bbq pit to help out most of the time. and then i rem last wk when he was asked to come back for punishment, he came back (during the holidays), never complained abt the punishment n went on to it. when we asked him he came back for this only, he said yes. but the punishment (carrying some paintings from level 3 to level 1) was done within 15 min. this poor boy stay in TPY, yet came all the way to school for his punishment! we pitied him so much and gave him a pack of choc. he must be puzzled. hee..
- Ms Attention Seeker: the way she dresses i think quite in appropriate -- she was in denim skirt, white top with those small black cardigan, with her leather bag, i think she's all made up not to be in pasir ris park but somewhere else. haha.. i mean somewhere else like shopping or wat. and she came so late we were almost done.
one thing to note: pls never ever take bus with the group of students, especially no 1, and 3. i think u'll die of embarassment, which i almost did last nite. they were laffing, toking and teasing and playing music so loud i think the bus uncle hated them. and my students din even want me to get off the bus. they wan me to accompany them to their stops! bleah, mistake.. so i told them not to call me "teacher, 'cher etc", so they tried to change to "cheh cheh (sis)" but they go like: " 'cher.. er no, cheh!" "tea..ch.. er, cheh cheh.. " *blush*
and then this silly gal wants me to be her "cheh cheh" after i leave too.. er.. what does it mean? anyway, i'm really touched to have them and i must thank them for the box of rocher and bottle of stars.. but most of all, i will cherish the little notes they've written for me. i think all these little, little notes will remind me that i am able to touch SOMEONE's life, even if i dun touch EVERYBODY's life. and little by little, day by day, i'm going to "throw more starfishes back into the sea" when i mature in this line.
thank u all for the little encouragement, and i will rem not to be so depressed over work the next time round! boy, im glad this journey brought me to where i would like to be and i will continue to work towards the bigger goal, in this direction! wish me luck!

I'm going to talk about the Korean show on Channel U every Monday and Tuesday, "Little Bride"! i just finish watching the vcds on it.. :)
This is a super hilarious show with touching parts as well. i remembered my tears can't stop flowing at some parts of the show:
- When the guy says "i love you" after the wifey saved him from the kidnappers who initially kidnapped the wifey.
- When they finally got to sleep together after many ups and downs -- 3rd pasty causing misunderstandings, bickering at each other, not sure of each other's feelings, evil elder sis keeping them apart
- guy's grandpa, who brought much joy to the show, passed away and he stayed outside to see directly to the gate for the guy and wifey to come home before passing away..
and suddenly, i find lee dong jian cute! haha.. probably it's because he's so shy and sweet towards his wife in the show? :)

Just when i thought a new day gives new life.. meaning i would've forgotten what i have been depressed over.. i realised i can't. i dun like people to talk to me and i dun like to answer them back cos im afraid i'll just snap at them which i think is v true..
i wish i could go into a mini capsule where i'll just think and think and think and be rid of my troubles before i come out. nobody to disturb me, nobody to care about me any further. how i wish life can be like that.. just let me think thru without any distractions!

Probably depression is not enough to make you fall sick. Probably being mentally drained is not enough to make u fall sick.
What causes physical illness? i've managed to survive 1 whole yr without falling sick! that's an achievement! or issit a bane? and physical illness can make u suffer physically, my mind is already sick, tired and not functioning. i need to recharge! i need to meditate.. GOD, whoever u are, help me through this mad rush before i go crazy..
how can i think about falling sick? when it's the holidays already? yah, and dun always say i complain too much.. it is actually to get it off my chest. too bad nobody listens to me. or rather, my only listening ear is feeling that im abusing it. sighz.. what to do? when i have a truckload full of complaints and nowhere to totally unload n leave it alone. even if i try to abandon my complaints, they'll still come back to huant me in my dreams and in my real life. what am i actually going through? i really dunno how i got into this mess which i initially thought it's a wonderful dream.. is this really what i want? to turn nightmare into beautiful dreams? it might take time, but am i really patient enough to handle these? may GOD (whoever u are) gimme strength. i can only rely on u my GOD.
dun worry everyone, im not into christianity or any other belief yet, but i need the G-O-D to help me. the G-O-D who can happen to read my email and help me out in it. remember the "Joe almighty" (issit the title) movie starring Jim Carrey? i hope The Almighty GOD will show me the way.
