Stepping stones

 

TADA! THATS MY SECOND HOME! MORE LIKE A PLACE WHERE I FORGED SO MANY MANY MANY FRIENDSHIPS AND HAD TONS AND TONS OF UNFORGETTABLE, SWEET, WARMTH, MEMORIES 

Yup! Today had sgt promotion test with moi cadets:) I planned this test for them, it was really challenging and tough because I had many queries, uncertainties and was very scared upstairs would be disappointed with my performance. Although, I am like of the same"rank" with the upstairs but yeahh.. cuz they are laojiao, i will still feel that terrifying space in between. But i think I kinda gave a mehmeh attitude to upstairs cuz he wanted me to try my best to make some changes to the schedule, his reasoning makes alot of sense and I believe with his reasoning, the test would definitely make me shine and grow confident, but he totally ruined my plan:( Plus, I sent the schedule twice to upstairs and there wasn't any feedback until today so like if I have to extend one activity, another will be affected and so on and so fourth. Also, I came up with this mini task( which I myself thought it was unique, and impressive ) , which is to hone the chairperson's leadership skills by giving him an edited version of my schedule with many instructions in it, and yeah... so all was ruined cuz everything overruned and they overwrited what I said :( which was like :( haish.. oh well, I think is kinda my fault cuz i should have reinforce and "force" them to help me check so i can plan ahead and all.. haish:( HOPEFULLY, they gonna let me plan the next sgt test and IM GONNA LIKE YEAH! YOU KNOW! 

My cadets had their test at the canteen! So there was this group of scouts kids and they were like bang bang bang so noisy, eating their macs, and then I was soooooooo annoyed so I just " Hi sorry, can you keep your volume down cuz my cadets are having a test?" HAHAHAH their faces was like O.O the sorry boss look! HAHAHAH! I damn welfare right?:) but today's test just overruned by a few mins though, not inclusive of debrief, and zooweemama, I didnt expect that I will be doing the debrief cuz I thought I was suppose to take a back seat since I did all the work at the back, but I just smoked through my wayyy, but i think i always smoke but heng my favourite, inspiring story saved my life:) I think that stories are like the best way to inspire you, bring across a message, reinforce the values etc.  plus like who will really listen to scoldings? seriously, just one ear in one ear out.. ohwell, but is ug, so there is still a need of a tinge of scoldings and truckoads of firmness. 

and tralalalala, had a baking date with np peeps at clover! I booked the function room and it was super troublesome though:( but quite fun! there was like chao ta cookies and I was like lets disguised them with icing sugar! yay! HAHAHA I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE CHALET THOUGH! I HOPE CHANG WILL COME ASAP. BUT  I CANT REALLY LET LOOSE CUZ THERE ARE MANY CADETS SO MUS MAINTAIN ABIT:( BUT I THINK IS GONNA BE FUN! LAST YR I ENJOYED IT! BUT I HOPE WE WILL HAVE THE ROOM FOR THIS YR:(  

sooooooooo today I had this red camp interview, I was super lethargic, like nua diao, I slouched, i yawned, my eyes were like -.- the what  you want look. HAHAHAH then ohyeah! made friends with this gal from bio med! SHE WAS FROM SAINT NICKS SEC EH! AND NPCC ALSO! THEN I WAS SO DAMN EGGCITED AND JUMP AND LIKE OMG OMG U KNW WHO IS BLABLABALA, then she was like ahahahah why u so excited, i tot typical saint nick gals will be even more hyper than me but ohwell:( but she was quite naice though, and then there was this guy, like mix blood, nam's friend, he was damn cool, got the swag and he taught us this cheer, SINESINE COSINESINESINE COSINESINE 3.14129. WE WILL WIN THE WAR WE WILL WIN THE WAR WE WILL WIN THE WAR ALALLALALA DAMN GOT SWAG!!! IT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD LIKE UNTIL A FEW HOURS AGO. He is those popular kind of kiddo, yr 3, bs too! should have made friends with him too, I think he was like standing at one side, waiting for me to approach becuz i was very curious abt his sine sine cosine cheer and kept forgetting the 3.14129, all some weird numbers. ahahah yeah. but i dun really think i will get in though:( cuz I made alot of blunders and did silly things, and not really outstanding and ohwell. Im too distracted by the movie-pretty woman, toodles

OTOT

was supposed to go to gardens by the bay with julie and munchin today:( but julie's mummy was sick so yeah.. she cant make it, and we decided to postpone our date to oct:( mehhh....

but had an impromptu(AGAIN!) outing wif my mehmeh friend, munchin:) so! oh! and i dao my ec, ohwell, but i think he kinda wanted to keep the convo going, feeling kinda guilty but OI ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY, and he was like the ec that i was like most craziest about, so yeah! I took a long while to get over his dao-ness! so ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY!:)

okie, back to my mehmeh friend! so yeah, we decided to head to j8 to watch imperfect. It was a mehmeh show too, not that good, not that bad either,but gv bishan is freezing cold, i need a winter jacket instead:( and I drank passionfruit ice blend:) yumm slurpslurp, didnt eat all the pearls though. actually wanted to dinez wif my oev mates but they cmi, then tried to dinez wif sasa and all but they cmi too:( so decided to get stuck with munchin the whole day!  we went to bras basah to find art friends cuz apparently, jialing told me there were studs there and munching wanted to diy sooooo badly, so! me! being a good friend, decided to pei her go there, and help her source for it :) actually, i did not have the mood to go out(LIKE OUT OF BISHAN KIND), cuz i was damn lazy, and sloppy, and i wore like slippers, highwaist shorts, and nautical chiffon top and yeah, super -.-

but we didnt get anything from art friends but i think munchin liked the place alot:) then we decided to head to plaza sing for daison and spotlight to source for her crochet materials and studdies! but there were no studs! instead, we got alot of pretty fabric tapes and crotchets from daiso, and im so gonna go back to that daiso and plaza sing cuz they have a variety of fabic tapes and crotchets to choose from, and spotlight is like WOW O.O! everything is so neat and there is even an array of fabric, ribbons, laces etc to browse( ART FRIEND'S HAS NO FABRICS)

oh btw, we were able to travel from bras basah mrt station all the way to plaza sing was all becuz of my mighty iphone, GOOGLE MAP! it felt kinda like an adventure in the forest, only it was modernise cuz we had the mighty iphone. On the way, we spotted many pretty, serene, atas, quaint places which are perfect for pictures but we were wearing like some mehmehmeh so we decided to have another adventure on oct again, the places we spotted has the haji lane feel:) quaint quaint, quiet quiet. But we were to eggcited, so we decided to snap a few peektures!

and i diyed my room with some pretty fabric tapes i bought from daiso:) so gonna go there again cuz is insufficient:(

Toodles <3

GOSH! i was at the gallery and looking down at those kiddos, thinking back about those good old days where i will jus drooped my head and sleep during concerts and all:( gosh! Didnt really catch uped with teachers today. Ony gl missloo alittle, teehee! And she forgot my name and told me to give her my initials:( THATS CHEATING MISS LOO:( ohwell, and miss jamie recognises me frm e2. Quite shocky cuz i didnt expect her to rmb me! Then gosh saw ms tan like everywhere and yeah, i was shouting at my friends at general office and she was there, and yeah.. Xiasuay and awkward ttm. Heard that many good teachers are leaving beatty:( kinda sad though, but once a beattyian always a beattyian <3

So we lunched with regine! It was impromptu too! She jus texted and then we decided to have lunch wif her tgt wif weiwei n jl. So yup! It started off tensiony cuz ohwell cant b bothered to say( walls have eyes! Oh wait or isit ears?) so i pretended nth happen n jus bladder bladder and tok! Then jl n kimberley had to leave early and then left me and regine:( hahahha! And we had an impromptu movie! STEP UP REVOLUTION! THE GUY WAS DAMN BUFF AND GOODLOOKING! AND THE GAL WAS DAMN HOT AND SMEXY N KEWT!! Their dances were incredibly awesome, cool, poppingish, creative! Everytime after a step up movie, i got the impulse to go and learn to dance/ prac my piano like siao and try to b a superb pianist one day! Before that movie, regine went popular! Oh! And there was this super kewt guy from
Kcp! His eyes! His nose! Gosh likeakewl only! And his built was omg kind!!! When he crossed his arms and stand there, i was googling up down left right at him. His complextion was not very good but pass la! But his build was the best! Buff but nt the buff till
So disgusting kind! Then, had h2h tok we regine at the libby!

After the movies, i was quite tired alr and wanted to go home but zooweemama! We saw rachel and her clique! Then i jus stand there and pointed and pointed and ehh look eh look! Then yeah! Had a mini reunion wif rachel! Then snap some peektures and oh! My blouse was too short and i zaogeng:( and i was damn scared it will Come out again so i kept stuffing it in:( and to my horror, they were spamming pics of me:( ohwell. Though i was nt very close to rachel s clique, but i was quite elated upon seeing them cuz got the beattyian bonded feel! Ooooyeah!

On my way back, saw jianlong and pamela, lol quite awkward. But yeah when is saw pam, i was like OI OI OI damn loudly and wanted to ketchup wif her but she kinda dao me so i jus okay-go-home mood.

Oh and i wore ttr paisley top! is kinda like my fav top now, many ppl complimented on the top:) only weiwei told me it looks auntish:( oh well! Hookares. Would love it to bits if it is totally non sheer, and the lacey part is like crotchety design and now rosey designs:) and my hw was actually fresh from the washing machine:) but i tried to iron and fan it so it will dry quickly, cuz thats like the best bottom to pei wif the top! And i wanted to wear long jeans so yup! Was contemplating to wear the neonprene from lrh but scared ppl judge:( so boooo didnt wear:( but is very pweety too! Lovely little pleats!

HAIRPEE TEACHERSSSIE DAY!!!

Unexpected

Baked cheese shortbread ytd! And gave some to am jiejie! Cuz she is gonna return back to china with her little baby in her tummy so i wanted to whipped something for her! Since we are both cheese loves:) idecided to tey cheese shortbread. It was kind of a inpromptu decision. I acc my mum down to the maket to shopshop so i decided to go and shop At ntuc for some Baking stuffs, then had that inspiration!:)

When am jiejie came! We had a h2h talk! Not really h2h, like kind of like share with her abt cibtc, np since i was polishing my boots! Haven tok to her like that for years i think, we chatted alot when i was in pri sch though!

HAD PARADE TODAY <3
Wasnt really looking forward to it at first cuz team was "storming" and there were many conflicts and the bond was kinda weaker. But i still went cuz I was prepared to put in my best to shine since i was studying abt the diff drills and all these few days. Drills were never my forte but I was much more int to memorising and understanding the drills than poly subs:( yup! I pictured many scenarios that i will end up daoing them, one man land, but it didnt, it was super duper unexpected.

I took the sec2 squad tgt with my handy notebook cuz their mentors had new world presentation. Since ls and i were the only one who wore full u(pathetically enough i was the only one who brought my full u), he went to helpout at the sec1 side! Then when his sec1 mentors returned he popped over for the last 30 mins of the drill session and omg, it was like a joke session. We planned many silly stuffs like marching them to the classrooms
And do count by the count to disturb the new world presentation and we had many many failed attempts. Then we made them hentak for super duper long and just keep on L and L and L. Quite paiseh as some cl s saw our expressions. Then when i went in to the classroom. The half u ones sat at the back, i didnt felt pangseh ed cuz i was solo gal and all. At least ls automatic jumped and sat at the back and we toked abt bk and stuffs. Then we hopped out of the classroom and left the 3 pt kit ci s;(

Shortly after, team of 4 was sitting at thecage chatting happily like last time;) excluding jh cuz he broke his arm, but ohwell... Jh is feeling really left out now due to xxxxxzzzzzxxxxzzzzz and many many stuffs. Im still contemplating to go for agd! But scared ls will ps me or smth;( hmmmm...

Oh and finally, told the cadets the dying story i wanted to tell to them abt the carpenter and his boss. After debrief, ggl and ls hopped over to reading room was quite happy to hear that ! Cuz it is now qiyue and im Scared to Go home Alone! We spent like 1 hour plusplus chilling there and singing song and it was epic, fun filled, unforgettable, unbefitting, thick skinned etcetc. Gosh!

Happy burstay mummy!

Today is my mum's burfday:) We went to orchard road for this jap buffet! The food I loved most was this: 

Spicy Tempura Prawn! It wasn't spicy at all, it only had chilli seasonings garnished on it. It didnt taste like  peppery or chillish, it was buttery chillish smell, like the shilin chicken! Prawns were juicy and sweet and the batter was not too much, it was awesome! Following then, we went HNM, it was super duper cool, there were many pastel jeans of very pretty cut and pretty designs! There was also this super kewt rainbowish crotchet overlay dress which I fell in love with it instantly. There were many many crotchet dresses too! I guess crotchet is kinda in now:) Saw some lovely bangles and I thought of gladys:) It was simple yet there were many little intricate designs on it, and it was only 7.90 yo!

 Then, I went to art friend, Art friend brings many many memories though:( I was bz showing off to my dad where the wood were etc. And yup! saw these colourful strings:) and immediately thought of sarah, cuz she told me she was looking for strings for her friendship bands. Haha, i guess today is like the think-of-friends day! I think I can spent like the whole day shopping and lazying around art friend, there are just so many variety of materials for you to choose, your imagination just keep running and your many inspirations just keep popping here and there.

Next, I went to daiso, cuz i wanted to buy crotchet fabrics but art friend did not have them:( but art friend is still my favourite shop ogay! Here! Left photo is a panel of crotchets for you to choose from, I wanted those one big piece of fabric but I think stitching crotchet with crotchet is not that challenging so just decided to buy 2 after super super long of consideration. I chanced upon a panel of buttons too, there were many many kinds, polka dots, checked, woody, metallic, etc. I will be using the buttons to diy my room:) So looking forward to it! And of course! I will be going out alone like following week and do some shopping all by myself:) YAY! <3 crotchets today, i felt like a kid again, going out wif my dad and mum, really appreciate the time and i think i should learn to spent more time with them now since im older and they are older too so i should learn to cherish them more :(

Something super happening has occured in my family, is like relative a stole relative b's $$$ and then relative c saw relative a stealing relative b's $$$. Relative b is notorious. This occured in relative c's son's birthday bash at a chalet and yeah.. a big hoohaa till now relative b's sister, which is also relative c's wife, relative d and her mum are like having this SUPER DUPER HUGE WAR. Is not really chilled though:( And i dun really like relative a and his family so yeah.. and i think nobody does:)

 

Toodles <3

My first eva rainbow cake<3

Feeling so freaking lethargic the whole day again:( played badminton wif my dad and his friends. And there was this father who were playing wif us top! So pressurising, but he was damn naice! Teehee! And ohmygawd, my stamina is really really really weak! Or prolly cuz i felt super dizzy and lethargic before the game! I cannot tank! Like after 30 mins i need a break kind, and i was super unwell, looking at the shuttlecot flying to and fro, but despite that, i still won some matches yo!

Went for hunters first birthday bash' it was really cool! Though ofc,i was stoney ar first, but after when all the guest left, i roamed a lil and played with him! Kids are quite kewl<3 there was this mini swimming pool with slides and all, super kewt guestbook with super naice glitters, cut outs stickers, ballooney, lots of variety of
food etc. and his cake was rainbows:)

For my wedding, i think i want those super quiet kind at some other countries, like japan? London? France?:) then just have a mini wedding ceremony with both of us and just like 3 people or nobody at all!:) for my kids, hmmmm.. Nt much inspiration now.

And ohmygosh! My ec jus wadaspp me! Shocked ttm! But i wasnt in a very eggcited mood cuz im overwhelmed with stress, i guess is girl's temparement. Im like solo girl in my team so i think they are not as sensitive and all, but cant blame them either, they are having tests and such too! Currently im planning a sgt promo test, so clueless about so many things but i wan to perfect it so much till i think i asked to many qns to my team and they start to mehmehmeh mee:( ohwell, so now, im trying to be more tactful with my qns:) and plus, this is sgt test with advance drills and all so i tend to set higher targets for myself too, nt only will i want to stretch the cadets, i need to stretch myself too!:)

Toodles!

Tired:(

Exceptionally tired today, feel so drained out now. Dun feel like toking to anybody... Slept quite late last night cuz i was trying to perfect my schedule for promo test for my cadets:(

Woke up and had mac breakfast with my dad and mum and we walked to
Amk wet market! It made me felt like i was in some vintagey, old setting as wet market are not "advance"/hightech. The world is ever changing and everything is happening at such a fast pace. Though there were stenches, dirt was everywhere, the people looked gruffed and scampy(obviously, cuz is a wet market) I felt detached from this fast pace world, somehow, part of me, i really like this kind of old setting feeling alot, i felt freshed and spirited. Thereafter, we walked past bishan park and ead towards home. I felt peaceful in thir greenery, looking at how little kids walk, the plains, the fishes in the water, how owners take their dogs for walk etc. it made me slow down and think more in depth about the society, people's behavioural changes. I really felt detached from my busy hectic work and stress i faced in school, family, friends. Probably, i am a very introverted person too, spending quality time with myself is important and helpful to my well being:)

Had dinner at riverside hotel to celerbate my mum's burfday! It was ala carte, so eat all u can style, as usual, felt awkward and bored with those so many lao jiaos and all. I am not really attach to my relatives. We just dont seem to have chemistry. Hence, it was quite a bore but i was very restless and tired to care about how boring it is and just ate my food quietly. But the food was quite good though:)

My cuz migrated to china and she gave me my early birthday present:) i used to be really close with her, she coaches me maths and el when i was in pri sch, she is really fun to be with and we have many common favourites:) she bot for me this diy sushi and sphagetti set! Cuz she knows i like cooking n stuffs( really touched) what was even more touching was she gave me whitening masks!! I usually dont like masks or to whiteb my skin but there was once when i shopped at clotheswagon, they gabe me a few free masks, and after my atc during my cibtc, i was super super super tan, so i decided to use the masks! While putting them, my mother was otp with my cousin that day so my mum told my cousin abt me putting on masks and all, i think she is really sweet and attentive to remeber these little things i did<3

Now she is married, and there s this awkward kind of feeling, but i like her alot too!!:) prolly im more "grown up" and not so childish and playful when i was in pri sch i think:) oh! And she is pregnant! I hope the baby will be a little girl! So ican make friends with her and buy naice kewt things for her girl too!!!:)

Feeling super lethargic now. Shall sleep early! Nights!
