School's back!!! with all it warth........

oh yeA
in a blink of an eye, i am already towards the end of my first week back at NgeeAnn as an ECH yaer2 student.....

i must say that.....it is rather overwhelming....all the new modules......
lets just say that it is going to be a CHALLANGING semester???
i mean.....from this semester on......I HAVE TO TEACH!!!! how cool is that??? but, I M NERVOUS all the same........
oh.....and did i meantion that we have to write mini thesises for quite a number of modules???? and that there is a module called Academic Writing( expository etc. you know........oh and grammer??? and reserch??? citations??? referencing?????) but i do know that having knowledege of Academic writing is GOOD! i bet it's going to save a little of my ass if i go to the University in future...so, oh yeA....RAPT attention is a definite must.

anyways, i went for my first Basic Japanese lesson in Ngee Ann on monday.
they werent kidding when they said basic........
so instead of learning things i have already learnt, i talked to my sensei. and SO.......i am going to have a placement test for my japanese tomorrow to see if i can move on to a higher level!!!!!!
i am so nervous, since yesterday actually.......
i really really really hope i can do well!!!!!

oh, and today, my entire D class missed financial management lecture because we thought there wasnt any class due to a miscommunication......the poor lecturer waited in an empty classroom....haish.......so we all ended up gallavanting around the west side of singapore( for my friends and i, it was jurong point and a pig out session at the SUBWAY there^^) or going home. And....my friend and i spent most of our time in TOYS'R US!!!!! haha....we arent in the early childhood field for nothing you know.....hehe......gosh....it was FUN!!!!! haha....like the time that i went with Jess^^.....
oh.......and i played Daytona USA at the arcade with my friends at Jurong Point today, for the first time in my ENTIRE life!!!! I got 3rd place!!.....My gal friends and i totally hogged the whole row of Daytona machines.......well, for one thing....we scream ALOT while driving...hehe. Well, we are girls...hee.....
by the way....ITS ADDICTIVE!!! i think if they let me play one more round, i will never have stepped out of the game arcade.....hahax.....
do i sound like i have no childhood????????=PpP


well, another piece of good news=)))
XM CHORALE got GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy for them^^ i thought they couldnt make it at first........YAY!!!!



just had good talk about my current life condition -esp. of arrogance with mommy.............
i want to stop......i want to have the strength to stop being such a snob who sticks up her nose, who thinks she is better than others, who thinks her way of doing things is better, who uses the word "I" alot, who is self centered, who chooses who to be compassionate to................................


"self retorspect....................
realise the cause laid for it all.......
feel for the person you hate, you despise........
chant for that person, and identify their life condition with yours............................and reflect.....knowing that you are arrogant and not doing anything about it makes the arrogance in you double.................channel it towards kosenrufu...........instead of wanting to be ahead of others, or belittle others, fiercely want others to chant infront of the Gohonzon..........chant your daimoku and self-retrospect......................arrogance triggers cancer....cancer cells are fierce, strong and surpresses all other organisms with their might, just like the life condition of arrogance....remember that mother and daughter share the same karma, a deep karmic bond.........you continue, you may end up worse than i am...................you are fortunate, you start young.........................."

thats what mommy said to me after all my overload of "I....." sentences on her..................about difficulties and stuff...............................................





thank you mommy...................................veryveryvery much......................ずっと感謝する。
