I was doing add/drop even over the weekend and as much as i tried to solve, there were stilll loads of lingering cases. So yesterday… students could feel my stress/ wrath when they read my sms or saw me in person.

So i appreciate those who were so patient and understanding who let me do what i had to…. and dian who gave me cookies, juvone told me “dun stress, we love u”, jiamin told me to “chill chill… “, yaorong ask “can i change class? dun get angry k“, randford and syed who encouraged me at my cubicle, charles who told me “god bless u” and students who bothered to thank me for fixing their timetable. And there was this most unexpected fella, in the midst of add/drop process made a most unlikely statement, “miss natasha, with this hair, you look younger” …

Row row row your boat
We got 2nd this time, and not coz there were only 3 teams like the previous year… this time there were 6 teams in total.

Indian Feast
The night before school started, we die die muster our last burst of energy to gather. We have always wanted to try the Indian food in Yishun, so i went to tabao. But the garlic naan would be so much better if eaten there…

Here comes another cycle of know-thy-students.

Twas the night …

It was work and more work during the hols, so Jean suggested to take one night off to go clubbing before Mike goes for his trip. Jean says “no drunk, no go home”… and i was the stupid one… haha… we danced, sang, drank… soon i started to spin in circles (i thought i was a super-hero) and danced bare-footed.

Then i only remembered i vomitted 5 times into a big black trash bag. Gawd… this time… it was hor-fun that came out…

My stormies are back at work. I’ve got the Red Clonetrooper this time (xmas gift from Douglas) and pasted the stormy sticker at the compartment. Yay, protecting Subie from intruders.

“Anyone wants Magnum?”

I was trying to keep my Magnum craving in check when Lay Siang came back from lunch and offered us Magnum!!! What a treat to have ice cream at work.

Early in the morning…

The Cambodian team had to reach the airport at 3.30am, so i offered to fetch Mike there and also send my dear boys and girls off. This time round, they got to go Siam Reap (*envy). But i’m sure most of them came back missing the simple life and the kids there.

Twas the night … part 2

I was not stupid this time… i drank a little and was so sober i drove all of them back. We all have to relax ourselves before the school starts. We played indian poker and the magician came to our table and blew our minds off.

Where’s Cherry? She couldn’t join us because she was busy :(

My New Classroom

Tables, chairs, platform, all moveable. I feel like the DIM SUM lady pushing the cart to dispense laptops. haha…

I enjoy watching crimewatch, i enjoy reading biographies of serial killers, i enjoy Discover channel’s Crime Night Fridays, i enjoy watching Dexter and his blood-splatter analyst job.

I am the satay man
I saw papa the other day and commented he looks slimmer, usually under such circumstances, a lady would be more elated to hear this… i didn’t know it had the same effect on my father.

He put his arms around me and said “Is it? Why leh? Where? Which part? You know why?”

Of course i knew the model answer. “the waist area lor.. your tummy also don’t have already, wa… now your shirt more fitting… because you worked out at the gym right?”

Papa laughed (happily) …” ah pei… you the cleverest!!!”

I still replied… “of course… ah pei ALWAYS the cleverest!”

My mom behind us buay tahan me and she showed me the “pangang satay” sign…. which during my era means curry favour…

I couldn’t stand my curry favour sometimes… but that’s the longest “conversation” I have with papa in weeks.
