HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!

Time flies! It's alr the start of a brand new year! May the year 2008 brings to everyone abundant blessings,love,riches and good health! Yay! =D

I cannot believe that 1 year has gone. At this time last year,i was still in Bangkok with my sec sch buddies. Ushered in the year 2007 in another country,far away from my family. WOW. 365 days had whizzed past le.

Anyway. Went to a restaurant called Baraonda Restaurant at East Coast last night. The piggy sisters jio-ed mum and i there for pizza. The atmosphere is good - it's an open-air restaurant and East Coast Beach is just outside the boundary. There's a pool table,kids' play area and u can listen to ppl singing karaoke. But the food's not very delicious though. Haha. Average only. Initially we wanted to catch the Marina Bay's fireworks at East Coast but to my disappointment,the piggy sisters couldnt wait anymore as they were quite eager to play mahjong after eating and resting and so,we went home at around 11pm. =( I think East Coast is a good spot to admire the fireworks but alas! We had to leave. Oh well. I brought my camera along and though i couldnt capture the fireworks,at least i took a few pics of the kids playing. Haha. Sometimes it's nice to just see kids playing. Oh,i'm glad they like the Xmas presents that Mum and i gave. Phew! =D And last night was the first time i heard Sean calling me "Ah Ru Jie Jie"(after a few years of not seeing me). He didnt call me at last wk's Xmas party leh.

I will miss the kids! Probably the next time i'll see them will be during our annual CNY dinner. They are so adorable!

Oh,Dear and i didnt usher in the new year together. I was with the piggy sisters and Mum while he was bbq-ing at his friend's place. Oh well. Nvm. There are more countdowns to come,i hope. Heehee. We don't have to be physically together la. Keke. Anyway,he's sleeping at his own house now. I bet he had a great party. Slept only 3 hrs,according to what he told me. Haha. Well,at least he spent the whole afternoon of New Year's Eve with me. =)

Argh. Sch's reopening tomorrow. Back to waking up at 5.45am again. =/ Oh,i'm glad that tomorrow's Wednesday. I have NO lessons every Wed. Which means for the first day of sch tomorrow,i don't need to teach! But i have to spend time settling down at my own new desk. It's actually not a new table but it's my first time sitting there. Heh. I will be sitting in an old staff room with 4 male teachers! While the rest of the staff is comfortably seated in a brand new staff room! Which includes Dear. Nvm. Like what one of my colleagues said,i have total freedom in the old technical block's staff room. Hohoho.

Oh yes,i cannot wait to see Tutee no 1 in her Nan Hua High uniform and 2 plaits! HAHAHA. I think she'll look cute in that. OOPS. She'll dislike me for saying this.

Anyway.

2008.

May it be a wonderful,fantastic,exciting & smooth-sailing year for everyone! CHEERS!

My timetable:


I am going to dread Thursdays and Fridays. But luckily,there's the weekend to look forward to after that. Self-consolation. LOL.
