Little Miss Dreamer

Life in RP

Been in RP for 1 month plus.. so far so good.. teaching 3 classes.. doing an interesting CCA where students learn make-up and hairtsyling skills and then market and showcase their skills.. taking up a research on the business of education.. Life is definitely better than before and I'm enjoying it..

Am more free now, which means I have more time to think about life beyond work..

Had a girls night out with LW, Shu and Aileen last Sat.. was shocked to know that Aileen broke up with WT and Shu is on the way to a break up too.. so much abt gf not spending enought time with them anymore.. I think it's just insecurity on the part of the guys.. wonder why guys have to so insecure when their gf embark on their career.. I thought they should be the most supportive ones?

Think I'll have alot of pple to accompany this coming V-day...

Sydney Trip (Part II)

29 Nov 2004 (Mon)
11.12pm
Today is the stay home and slack day.. Have run out of places to go.. plus am super tired from not sleeping well last night.. SK stayed up til 5am to reformat his hard disk.. I went to sleep around 2am but kept waking up coz of the noise he made..

Made plan to go to Manly Beach tmr.. even called up to make reservation for a surfing class.. then SK had to arrange to have dim sum tmr and throw my plan off at the vert last minute.. Don't understand why he alwayz have to his his agenda 1st.. and disregard other ppl's feeling..

Got even more upset with him later in the night when he blamed me for telling Ben about Stef staying in his room.. I thought it's Ben's right to know about it.. in fact I feel like SK should have told Ben earlier and not have waited.. whatever it is I just feel that he has no right to blame it on me.. feel that he doesn't care a single abit about how I feel.. I mean, when he's too busy and never bring me ard, I never blame him.. when he allowed Stef to shift in and wanted me to shift out of Ben's room (and agreed to Sam to do so without asking me 1st), I never blame him.. I think by far I've been most understanding and accomodating, but what do I get in return?

8.40am
Got woken up by SK's alarm clock at 7am... tried to get him to wake up but he threw temper at me.. got upset with him AGAIN.. =(

10.53pm
Waited for SK to go for dim sum til 11 plus in the morning.. coz he gotta help Diana to move house.. sometimes I wonder why I'm always of a lower priority with SK.. He somehow alwayz place others above me.. Samuel, Diana, whoever... He'll go all out to help them but not spend time with me.. Am I really that unimportant? Or am I just too undemanding and accomodating that he takes me for granted?

In any case I went to Manly Beach after dim sum.. took a ferry from Circular Quay.. passed by places like Double Bay, Rose Bay, Watson Bay, South Head, North Head, etc.. Manly beach itself is super crowded.. and not as fantastic as Bondi.. and plenty of sandflies... got so irritated by them that in the end I didn't really suntan much.. went on to do the scenic walk instead.. from Manly Wharf to Farlight Beach.. Farlight Beach is small but interesting.. they've partitioned out part of the sea as a swimming pool.. and the water there is more still so it's good for snorkelling.. sat by the rocks and had a little dip in the cool sea water.. shiok...

Stef and Jeff juz came back.. she's found a place to stay at Broadway and will be moving out next week.. Planning to go Bondi with them again tmr.. after that will join Jake to go to Hillsongs for their Creative Ministry Night..

Will be leaving Sydney the day after tmr.. beginning to feel a little sad.. sigh..

12.40am
Went to Bondi with Stef and Jeff b4 going to Hillsongs with Jake in the evening.. a long drive up to Northwest of Sydney.. am amazed by the huge church compound, friendly ppl, good worship... Pst Brian also shared on growing the church from the prespective of ministry workers...

Had quite a chat with Jake on the way to church.. am shocked to know that Diana is now dating Sam.. wonder how's SK taking it..

10.25am
Will be leaving SK's place in half an hour.. feeling sad...

SK was supposed to stay up and chat with me til morning.. coz I didn't wanna sleep so I can just knock out on the plane later.. but by 2am he knocked out.. should have known... sigh...

Got up in the morning and learnt that SK won't be sending me to the airport ("coz I gotta go to office today..") Samuel will be driving me down instead.. am quite disappointed.. he tried to play a little song on his guitar to cheer me up.. but still.....

1.20pm - On board BI194 to Brunei

3 Dec 2004 (Fri)
Still in holiday mood.. went out for a drink with LW at Alley Bar.. ok it's more like drinks than a drink.. coz both of us were in bad mood... drank:
- a gin & tonic
- half a mango magartia
- half a cosmopolitan
- a bloody mary
- 3 sips of butterscrotch schnaps

Conclusion for the night.. the drinks there are super diluted! could still walk straight after drink all of the above..
