hectic tuesday

Work was awfully tiring today..came home with a stiff neck and back since i've been sitting the whole time marking homework sheets at work for about 8 hours..it's especially tiring on tuesdays and fridays since most of the students come on those days..worse still today since there was a week holiday for xmas, boxing day and another public hols that the center was closed for a week..so because of that, students brought back lots of homework for us tutors to mark today after a week's break and the sad part is that i'm the only tutor at my maths section at the kumon center i'm working at..well..there are other tutors covering other levels of maths, mostly lower primary and kindergarden maths..while i'm covering upper primary and secondary school maths..so far i'm lucky that only few students are at the add maths level..cuz i really suck at add maths n i don't remember much abt wat i've learnt in form 5 =/ it would really suck when u dunno how to answer a student's question on how to do a certain section of maths and yet i can't answer properly or give the wrong answer..

but at the end of the day, i've gotten a cupcake gift from a colleague..so sweet and yummy..
But, having to share it with my siblings and only had 1/3 of the little cupcake left me craving for more..

There..the cupcake looks so cute..right?

a day in KL

Been out with family today to KL..Low Yat specifically..couldn't get anything much since dad was being stingy and naggy..sigh..plus he's always in a rush to leave since he's the type of guy who goes shopping and leaves after walking a few rounds..for me, i like to take my own sweet time and bargain til i get the lowest price i can get at those places..it's a reasonable and wise thing to do esp when u know the prices are marked up by so much compared to the manufacturer price..so why let them profit so much after all, right? But couldn't do that with my dad around since he doesn't like to spend much time at one place esp when i'm seeing things he's not interested to get (he says they are unnecessary and i should wait for further price reduction =.=")..he'll probably say the same thing when i go back there again next time..but this doesn't apply to him since he wouldn't mind paying more for something he wants..

It was so crowded and i hate crowds..i get irritated when ppl walk so slowly and block the whole walkway as if no one else was around..worse still when the walkway was already narrow enough..inconsiderate and stupid ppl !!! in these circumstances, the only thing to do is to force your way thru, even if it means pushing ppl aside..Oh yes, i can be mean when i'm irritated and impatient =)

And then...went to Petaling Street for lunch and bought some snacks that i could never find in PJ or any malls at all..With chinese new year right around the corner, there were lots of super red deco and snacks on sale..Spending a few bucks here and there eventually added up into a large lump sum..It was so freaking hot and humid, and i was smart enough to wear black and ended up sweating like a pig at the end of the day..

Parking is always a problem in KL..it's either too expensive at those car park areas (one place charged rm2 for half an hour)..*sweat* daylight robbery..

or you would have to pay "people" who tries to collect money from u just because they signal for you to park over there and claim that they would takecare of ur vehicle while you're away..Somewhere around the corner of the street actually has an autopay machine thing by DBKL..So i really do wonder how it would be when those police or DBKL officers who comes over to check on cars and saman those who did not pay thru the autopay machine and instead paid to those drug addicts..But for fear that they would do something to the vehicle while you're away if you don't pay them.....this doesn't leaves much choice but to pay them now, does it?

Petaling Street seriously have quite a number of delicious food places, but seriously how much can one with weight issues eat just on one visit? Shall find a day to go there again..mainly to eat.... =)

A new beginning

After abandoning and deleting blogs after blogs due to the tendency to be lazy to blog as well as disinterested >.<" This blog should be one that i would not abandon nor delete again with one of my new year resolution to maintain this blog diligently *fingers crossed*

For the year of 2009, there should be some new things around for me..A new beginning in life's path, new plans (hopefully effective!!), new degree (hence no new career yet), new love (not exactly new since it's a 4-5 months relationship)..with this, letting go of things from the past would be a good way to start a new year..Hence, a new beginning in the journey of life..sounds cliche but oh well..and so creating a new blog here for new entries would be a reasonable thing to do (or so i think =.=)..

With my attempts to go for new things this year and accomplish my goals without losing interest halfway through as i always did before, i set for myself a few resolutions that i do intend to follow through ^o^ (again..with fingers crossed..)
To name a few:
(1) complain less and appreciate more!!
(2) endure challenges ahead with faith and determination!!
(3) face problems logically and rationally (better think properly before i do something instead of letting my emotions control my actions or words >.<")..
(4) replace negative thoughts with positive ones (it's about time..)
(5) remove fears and worries that holds me back..
(6) have more faith and confidence in myself and my abilities..
(7) learn to trust some people around me and have a better judgement towards people..
(8) stop being lazy !!!
(9) be committed to achieving my goals (eg to get good grades and maintain my tiny scholarship + to maintain this blog) and these resolutions ^.^
(10) work on my communication skills and stop being so shy >.<

I have tons more in my mind but it would be tough to follow through so many, not to mention that it won't be realistic to keep so many..Well, maybe i should just accomplish these few on my list first and do the rest next year..better to achieve a few rather than achieving nothing by the end of the year and have regrets then right..After all, i do think the purpose of setting new year resolutions would be to kick bad habits and start one's life anew..Well, that's just me and what i think..
