Mixed feelings

Received a call 2 nights ago ( Tuesday night). From a primary school friend. He called me with a bad news. My primary school's chinese teacher cum discipline master of my school, Mr Chang Chin Ho, has passed away on Sunday ( 21 october 2007). It came as a shock to me because we didn't know what happened. All we knew that he was nursing a fall, after an accident 2 years ago I think. Totally stunned on the phone when my friend broke the news to me. Didn't know how to react as well. I just listened to what arrangement he had in mind. The feeling is different to that when I heard about Mr John Lim ( my jc PE teacher) 's death from the news. I really don't know how to describe cos I'm not those who can express my emotions.

Arrangements were made to go to his wake on wednesday night ( last night). He really look so different as I remembered him to be. My memory of him was cubby and fit teacher ( he taught us PE as well if i didn't remember wrongly). Stern, as he was a discipline master, always keeping canes all over the place to punish us anytime we made mistake. So, everyone in school was scared of him. But now, come to think of it, it really moulded us to be what we are today. And I really appreciate that. Yesterday, when I saw him in the coffin, he was so much thinner and fragil. Reason being he fought with prostate cancer for the past 4 years. Can't imagine how much suffering he went thru. On top of cancer, he was also suffering from senile dementia. We happened to be able to read 1 letter that he wrote to our form teacher, saying about his life. I guess it's his way of trying to remember things as long as possible. Our class was originally planning to visit him one of these days, during CNY. Now, we will never get the chance, NEVER again. We didn't cry at the wake but I know all of us are feeling sad. 1 good teacher who contributed 30 years to KHS ( not mentioning that he taught in other schools also). The education field has lost a great teacher that we didn't know how to appreciate when we were in school.

I don't know if I'm really emotionless or I don't know how to express what I am feeling now. All mixed up. One thing I'm sure of is, Mr Chang, I really appreciate your teachings. Any friends who is reading this particular entry, a word of advise from me. If you wanna meet up with some one, better do so now. Or whatever you want to do, do it now. Don't wait or you'll live to regret like us. Now we will never have the chance. Happened to me with Mr Lim, now Mr Chang. Haiz. Goodbye sir. May Mr Chang rest in peace. He will always live in our memories.

A380 landed in Singapore!

Haha... SIA's A380 landed in Singapore yesterday(17 october) at 1840 hrs, 10 mins later then the time she was due. lol. I wonder why I'm so happy cos it's not like I have the money to take that plane in near future. Prob by the time I have the chance, the excitement is over already. keke. Anyway, I saw the live telecast on CNA yesterday, showing it's first landing in Singapore after it was officially handed over to SIA earlier this week on 15 october (Monday) i think. So nice. I regret not seeing it with my own eyes. After delaying for 18 months, finally it has been delivered and all the anticipation as to when the plane will be able to use has ended. Some pictures to share with you. I took them from Straits times website. Enjoy.

Sigh

Week passing after week.... I miss pipi jie who has been back to malaysia for almost 2 weeks. Looking forward to seeing her back and our katong laksa trip. this saturday, i've been invited by a friend to go over to her place for hari raya celebration and it happens to be mama's birthday on that day too. Advance Happy Birthday to jer mama. In case I forget later. lol.

i've yet to get a job.... few days back, I've received a rejection e-mail from credit sussie.... without even interviewing... seriously wondering what is wrong... sigh. The weather has been rather hot and humid at times, and can have super heavy rain so suddenly. Causing me to have like erm.. mild headache or something like that... I also dunno how to describe... like feeling so blur and sleepy like that, and, my blood pressure is very low ( around 85/50. normal should be 120/80) lol. This week is tution week for me cos my tution kid is gonna have exams sometime next week so she'll be coming over to my place every day for intensive revision. Hopefully I can help her and not harm her. keke.

O ya. SIA' s A380 will be arriving in singapore at around 6.30 pm today from france i think. Landing at changi airport, terminal 3, the terminal that is not yet open to public. News this morning says that our PM Lee will be there to "fetch" the plane. and they also mentioned that there will be telecast from CNA. will on the tv and see if they really telecast it... or am i juz hearing things. o well. nothing much to blog. Till next time, maybe I'll go and find more info abt A380 then can record it in my blog. tata.

bored

Pipi Jie is back in malaysia and tya jie is in batam.... and me? still slacking around... maybe i should just find some part time course to spend my time? I really don't know....haiz

"Busy" day

haha. actually, it wasn't exactly busy... juz that i went to meet 2 groups of friends in 1 evening. Ruching here and there. K Quote of the day is :" It all depends on how you see it". :) This happened to 1 of my friend. I shall not say anything else not related to this quote. This is to safeguard her privacy. (though some know what I'm refering to) K anyway, it has got a talk wif another 2 friends. In life, a lot of things will happen to each and everyone of us. How you view the particular incident will affect the outcome. Using a cheerful approach will make life easier because a lot of times, many things are not within our control. So friends who are reading this ( if there is any in the first place ) , do always stay happy ok? too many incidents of things happening to my friends around me.

2nd half of the night was spent at Swensen's Orchard. It was a birthday surprise for nunu and jer mama. ( *Note: both of their b'dae are 1 month apart. nunu on 28 sept and jer on 20 oct). U may be wondering how come together since it's so far apart. The reason is because, pipi has to go back to her hometown and will not be able to re-enter Singapore for 1 month. means, she will miss jer's b'dae so we decided to celebrate both together.

We made a box, full of scrap paper and some message on pieces of paper where they have to find and re arrange to read the "code" behind it. afterwhich on successful breaking of code, we will hand them their real presents which is a poster. Had lots of fun watching them find and making a mess of the table. Laugh and laugh till i think others will think that we are a table of crazy girls. Hope they enjoyed themself and the surprise. O will we were on our way back, the remaining cake that we decided to pack home was smoking (due to the dry ice) when jer mama opened it at home, it turns out that the cake has melted and the chocolate was dripping .... onto her skirt.... o.... I'm sorry mama. didn't expected it to melt that fast. maybe that's y the box was smoking. heng ah never kenna security check otherwise ppl thing what we are carrying. hehe.

O well I think that should be all.... I'm so tired now.... nitez everyone.
