we are all born mad. some remain so.

These are my new year resolutions:

1.I WILL lose 10kg before June.
2.I will stop gorging horribly unhealthy food.
3.I will start exercising.
4.I will be slightly nicer to those I hate. (Except for some)
5.I will stop bitching secretly about others.
6.I will try to go to a church regularly.
7.I will NOT deprive myself of TV.
8.I will keep tabs on my savings.
9.I will love and show consideration towards my family and friends even when they piss me off.
10.I will try to 'feel' more for the people who died in the tsunami. (Yes I don't really give a damn)
11.I will continue to support Sylvester no matter how brainless everyone thinks it is.

Happy New Year 2005 to all!

I found a job! As a teacher at the Marion Student Care Centre along Thompson Road. Pay is crappy, but it's better than nothing. I start work on 3rd, the weekdays from 8.30am to 5.30pm. So I'm officially NOT FREE to laze around anymore. But I can still hang out after work! It's not a long term job as I plan to quit after January. Then I shall once again be a full-time slacker!

The kids there aren't too friendly. One of the teachers introduced me to some of them. There's one called Joel, and the rest I can't remember. I tried to smile, but one of them had an evil look. I've decided that one month of work there is just nice before my body is discovered in the bushes covered with children's teeth marks.

Today was rather eventful. In the drizzling morning, me, Joannie, Geri, Mel and John went to help out at the SPH in Toa Payoh for the packing of stuff to send to the tsunami affected areas. Jeannie couldn't make it as she was suffering from a hangover (Yes HANGOVER). I spent some time gushing at the baby wear (I'm not being silly, they are really cute!) and packed quite some boxes of stuff (mainly clothes), labelling, and sealing the boxes.

There were reporters and photographers around... Making these little girls (4-6 years old I presume) pack a box and snapping pictures of them. How terribly cliche. I started around 9am and ended at around 11am as there wasn't alot to do. Don't blame us, the adults were really bossy.

We then went to the kopitiam across and had lunch there and talked for a while, then made our way to Toa Payoh Central where we settled down in Starbucks for Mocha and Potato Salad while yakking away till 5pm. I LOVED the way it was, just sitting down doing nothing but talk. Life should be this way. Forever.
We talked about loads of stuff from Joan's sister to the TV to the tsunami to Mr.Quack, to the hopeless guys in our class. Details shall not be disclosed!

Finally Mel put up the photos of the class BBQ! Here's the loot:

Chih, Jocelyn and Wenhui while I'm TOTALLY engrossed in my current favourite show, Channel U's Virtues of Harmony at 7.30pm! People do watch it! If you look closer you'll see my busted knees from the iceskating session.

First day of 2005 and so far it has been a great start. I am not really looking forward to the job but hopefully I will get to enjoy it soon. Wish me luck folks! And hope you've all made your new year's resolutions!
