~Dress well~

When i started work on my first job, it does not require me to dress formally... i am not the kind of person who knows how to go about choosing and matching clothes... so, my dear colleagues always see me in t-shirt and jeans... (not those nice and cool ones!) haha in other words, *lok kok*

The first time when i realised this, was my mentor (name will not be disclosed) who commented on my dressing for she is somebody who always like to dress up nicely... haha after that, here and there i received kind advices and comments... mostly about my sandals... cuz i wear sandals WHEREVER i go... yeah, no matter what i am wearing! =p

recently, ST who was very kind, went shopping with me... in an attempt to get nice clothes that will suit me... last time we went queensway shopping centre too... that was very long ago... apparently one trip is not enough to change a person's dressing for the better... so this time was at orchard... :) ST is really pro in shopping and she knows how to dress up very well... (of cuz we cant say bad things about people who help us right?) haha though sometimes i dont understand her definition of nice, but i really trust in her to help me... so i have learnt some lessons from our precious learning shopping trip...

1. don't wear purple even though everyone knows i love purple colour... she says sometimes it makes me look old... must depend on the shade... i am still trying to figure out wat shades suit me...

2. no lines at you-know-where... it just dun suit my figure...

3. NO NO NO! shocking pink is erm...

4. Try grey and blue... yes! its really nice...

5. sleeveless and long sleeves are great!

6. long tops are recommended... cuz my body is not-long...

7. matching shoes with the clothes is impt!

some of the points i remembered from the trip... hahaha thank you teacher ST... =p knowing what is suitable is not enough... i think must be brave enough to try... so i practically tried everything ST chose, not forgetting the unforgettable elf costume...

What did i buy?

- A grey & white striped dress which is really nice and looks so si wen...
- A black dress and white skirt which i matched them together to wear... its one of my favourite... reason: its very comfortable!
- A pair of black heels which i tink will come in useful for interviews, work, etc
- A pair of black capris pants which matches the above heels very well...

That's all for this shopping trip... :)

Going Japan!!!

after so many years of studying Japanese, i finally have the chance to go Japan... this time it will be double combo - kyushu + kansai... hopefully when i come back, i can take some time to blog about my trip... *yeah* =) it has been my wish to travel there... due to financial constraint, i have been waiting and waiting... so i am super excited about it... though its super tiring to be planning for the places to go and accommodation etc, i actually prefer free n easy than package tour... i wanna relax after converting to jobless status... heehee~

Its really goodbye this time

these few weeks have been rather busy at my workplace... went concourse with my colleagues to buy presents for all the children... den have been writing for term progress for the children cuz its the end of the term le... plus marking the never ending pile of homework... somehow time never seems to be enough... i have not been making the class materials as well... lucky i am going back during the term break to finish my work... hahaha by this week, i have to finish wrapping all the presents as well... hopefully all the children can come this week to get their presents else... sianz... (reminded myself of one pinwheel which is still in the cupboard cuz my student din come) last week got quite a lot of absentees... i wonder why?

time really flies... this week is actually my last teaching week at the school... i think i really gonna miss my colleagues and children a lot... it has been a very wonderful and happy working experience with the children and i enjoyed working with my fun colleagues (they really made a huge difference!)... minus the 'cool' bosses, everything was great... thats why iv kept saying that i will surely cry on the last lesson with my children... *no way* no matter how she bu de i am, i shall be a very brave girl and not cry for the whole week... *tian xia wu bu san zi yan xi*

after tendering for the third time, i am finally leaving... and its without any regrets... well, things have come to such a stage that i actually felt glad that i have put things to an end...

About Parents

I was talking to ST that day after our saturday classes... dunno why we started talking about our parents... especially our dear mums... so we spotted many similarities between them, other than like to watch the afternoon taiwanese drama 'yi nan wang'... heehee =p somehow this conversation came up in my mind while i was standing in front of the sink and happily washing all the dishes + two pots with curry stains + rice cooker... suddenly just feel that sometimes i dun really understand how my mum thinks... i am sure many people feel the same way towards their parents too, if the parents are very traditional... but it is important that we remind ourselves no matter what our parents do, they have our interests in mind... because of the generation gaps and different thinkings, we might quarrel because of misunderstanding... a scene replayed in my mind... in the movie 'I not stupid', where the dad died while trying to protect his son... he was a violent dad and always beating his son... but he did not have much education and did not know how to go about teaching... the only way that he knows to teach his son is to beat him... so sad right? on the other hand, now that many families are getting affluent, the parents have a tendency to spoil their children such that the children grew up not knowing wrong and correct, not able to face failure etc... all parents love their children but it is also important to learn how to love children correctly... Love education is the key to raise children!

Your Existing Situation

Volatile and outgoing. Needs to feel that events are developing along desired lines, otherwise irritation can lead to changeability or superficial activities.

Your Stress Sources

Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.

The situation is preventing her from establishing herself, but she feels she must make the best of things as they are.

Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Your Desired Objective

Needs to feel identified with someone or something and wishes to win support by her charm and amiability. Sentimental and yearns for a romantic tenderness.

Your Actual Problem

Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.

p/s: just happened to check psychology test online and tried this... some parts are really very accurate! =p
