Today is da 6th Syawal. In da morning, I had mandarin lessons with my chinese teacher, Gin.. I am not trying to brag or boast but Gin conveyed 2me tat I am one of her best students.
I have got my Basic Level Conversational Certificate of Attendance frm CHINESE & ARTS EDUCATIONAL CENTRE. I am still continuing with Gin discreetly. Only me as she thinks tat I am her best students and she feels tat I have da potential to speak well and write well.
Yes.. Write. Gin has been teaching me how to write Chinese characters.. It looks pretty tedious at da start but slowly as I picked up da skills, it is not tat difficult at all! And u knw wat Gin told me?
"I am surprised u can also write very well. Maybe u r a chinese in ur last life." I looked at her in bewilderement. Last life? Oh, I get it. Da chinese belief in last life and next life. Hence tats y she said tat.

Alarmingly I STILL RECEIVE DUIT RAYA!!! LoL.. No kidding!! I really did receive still!!! My uncle's wife adhere to da Chinese custom >> Give 'to unmarried pple.. I am one of them!! *Grinz* Another of my aunt, she and her husband complied to their own tradition >> As long as u r schooling (be it part time, full time or watever), they will give u a packet.. *thumbs up*

I simply loathe assignments... They r totally dragging me down......Y cant I just go to uni (da sch, tat is..uni is far away in England) mark da attendance (though they are not compulsory at all), sit for exams and at da end of da day, get tat piece of darn paper. Geez, wishful thinking. I totally have no motivation in doing my assignments, especially when i am too worn out wif work load in Donaldson & Burkinshaw. HOW??!

Wat a name!! Y dun da name b sumthing like WEST COAST PEAK SECONDARY ? Or WEST COAST GARDENS SECONDARY? Or CLEMENTI WEST SECONDARY ?
