I looked at that hand reassuring me on friday, as that familiar black Altis swung by to pick me up. He looked tired too, tired from 8 hours of dry swimming, back and forth on a green table. Yet in his eyes, you knew he was more concerned about the one in front of him. The one who hasnt eaten, who broke down during school.
"Gawd, why on earth did i break down," i think back to myself. Horrified that i've been such a wimp.
Putting that self-jeer aside, i think, my weekend has been more than i could ask for.
Dinner, tennis and an in-house movie on fri. unplanned. FUN, FUN, FUN..
"I'm finding back that new energy, and adrenaline in tennis (though those soles didnt stay on)"
Woke up on that lovely saturday morning, sleepy, slightly late but not witout a home made breakfast, even if it was just a pepper ham and cheese sandwich, it was good enough to be eating it with you, along the way to my fav student's house. :)
Then great seats to B boys and ballerina. Thanks for getting tix so readily, and thank god even more for blessing us with fabulous seats, fab view...
my weekend so far, it's been rocking since thursday! :) time with bings, great dinners, great company, both activities and rest time...you betcha i'm glowing....
NOw.....just a little reluctant to get started on my work :)

"It's exciting!", she felt that rush of adrenaline pumping through her veins, as she hurried to the next class. At the back of her mind, she quickly ran through the people she just got to know. There was Mr Koh, nonchalant and obviously the star student in English, and Mr Beauford Tan, wondering what transpired behind his name. As though a reporter at the gallery of stars, she struggled to put more faces to the new names, Mr Jordan Quek, and Mr Garner, who called her Mrs Lim. At that, a small smile crept to her face, remembering his sheepishness.
Pink and rosy cheeked Klinnsman, naughty, playful, but has yet to determine his abilities. Chatty, responsive Mr Dion Lim, right beside, who protested when she first made the mistake of leaving him out of her group. There was skinny Roy and Farid, who wrote more than they spoke, and Shahendra and Zul, competitive, active, bubbly, just the kind she welcomed in her classes. :)
Next to the boys the girls were sweet, decorating their self introduction sheet, deep in thought about how they should present themselves. What personalities suit them? What do they usually do? Some sigh in dismal, realizing that with a new teacher, it means another round of getting to know another stranger better. The teacher in front could only wonder, who gets the worser deal here? Not always the teacher, after all.
The class took a silent turn, after the initial hankering over who to sit where, the students quietened down, much to her delight. As she paced steadily from table to table, she felt her shoulders relax, and a small sense of jubilation erupt in the darkest of her mind. The last period of the day. She savoured that very moment of realization.

counting my blessings in front of this little screen again, a joy in itself, having my own quiet time to recall the events and moments that spring to mind.
cliche as it is, but it seemed like yesterday, when i was excitedly clearing up my work, sending in my SOW, ready to take flight with those 5 other males, for THE holiday, after what felt like a gruelling semester. (since when was school term un-gruelling for anyone?? :)) now, having "enjoyed" morning after mornings of waking fellow sleepyheads up, and the luxury of sleeping in till 8, 9am myself, its back to 6.15 mornings. again. dread that most.
that said, it's been fulfilling. spending that 2 weeks before hols being with the NPCC cadets, thinking for and about them. after which, i enjoyed another good 9 days away with my favourite and his buddies. awkward as it might sound, it turned out fine. (difficult not to feel normal since we were already meeting up on a daily basis--mahjong, dinner, golddiggers, i'm the boss, excuses such as changing of currency, planning of the trip, meant quite a good many crappy, enjoyable evenings in their company.)
and amidst all the hustle and bustle of city lives, shuttling from Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong and back again, im glad to have had some really memorable moments with you. Whether it was dozing off with you on the bus, running around Ocean Park, or enjoying the view from Victoria's Peak, and watching you spend dollar after dollar, trying to win the large prize for me, these are enshrined in the getaway i've made for you, deep in my heart....(eeee so mushy)
Sometimes i think of all the mistakes i've made in my life, at home, in sch, in relationships, the people i've hurt, met, been happy with, been sad and disaptted at, and i think to myself: over and above all, God you really hvnt shortchanged me in any way huh? Not to say that sinning in our daily lives, and lil acts can be made right...but thank God for overlooking these blemishes and still brightening our lives up with treats and surprises.....
he gave me you, to make me smile, to dry my tears, though you're the cause of it too.
he gave me you with big arms, and a nice broad chest for me to run into your warm embrace
he gave me you, with bigger eyes than me, to make our photos look better
he gave me you, with a good brain for numbers, to help me overspend less :)
he gave me you, with easy going, not good looking bt funny friends, who accepted me readily and hopefully dsnt think you're dating a weirdo...( i mean JAKE is WEIRD too :))
he gave me you, with the big heart, to lift my xiao-qi-ness and make me laugh at myself
he gave me you, with your ability to look at me and still love me for the retard i am
he gave me you, with your cantonese speaking mummy n granny for me to speak too, and hopefully become a bridge for me to communicate with them
he gave me you, with your generousity towards me, be it small or big treats, it's alwaz dear 2 me
so much more i could go on, but seemingly unfilial if i didnt say this:
jem, you're the fattening whip cream, hot fudge and rainbow rice sprinkles on top of the consistently yummy vanilla ice-cream that my family has been to me.
They are never changing, alwaz adaptable to my changing needs and demands
They are plain and simple, easy-going to any additions in life
They are accepting of me, my nonsense and my fat bf (oops)
they take well to my erratic behavior, and
they alwaz know to give me space and time,
to give in, to smile and make things right again..
and this is my perfect ending to the month long fairy tale, a lil bumpy, sometimes with volcanic eruptions, but after the storm subsides, the sunshine still brings warmth and peace..like now.....

Indulgence and leisure replaces the days of climbing stairs and stretching the limits of my senses to think ahead of and for you. :) She heaves a sigh of relief and manages a brief smile of contentment as she sits back, making the seat look more comfortable than it really is.
chelle and bings, relaxing after all that samsui chicken, and boiled soup. 2 spoilt rotten princesses
The saturday could not have felt more satisfying, waking up to dance rehearsals before being shuttled to GP tuition then enjoying a sumptious dinner with that dear friend she has been missing.
"The night was short but sweet," she thought, as she hurried down the flight of escalators leading her to the train station. Her next destination awaits. While time ticks by, seemingly slower as the weekend threatens an ominous end, she busies her mind with pieces of information, making mental notes of items which she has not packed and is planning to, scanning her wardrobe mentally for bags and accessories which could match as many outfits as possible.
The train door pulls apart, temporarily breaking her train of thoughts. It's starting to feel like the real holidays finally.
Back home, she draws comfort from the familiarity of him. Between them, they know it's been a bed of roses recently, which they are not taking for granted. The usual teasing, jokes and nonchalence, coupled with false indignance reminds them of why they are together. A blessing indeed considering she was his first love at 13. Something she sees as special in this recent relationship. Shrugging her shoulders, she looks up and sees that figure blasting enemies and feeding his ego at DOTA. oh well, some things she will have to wait and be patient. :) Boys will be boys.
boys whom il spend my next 8 days with
the fabulous weekendmichelle
