If it's about living life the only way that makes you happy? Then why do we have to abide by the "rules" of society, trapped by the defination of morals & values and be bounded by the expectations of others? <br /><br />But gal, sometimes, making pple that means a lot to you happy, makes oneself happy. I like to call it the chain of happiness. <br /><br />You ask me why do humans have emotions - To feel love and yet hatred, To feel concern and yet abandonment, To feel laughter and yet tears, To feel hope and yet regret, To have and yet, be forgotten. <br /><br />But gal, be happy you once felt the love, the concern, the laughter, the hope and everything else. Indulge in the memories - it's yours to keep.<br /><br />You ask me how anyone could be so cruel.<br /><br />But gal, it takes two hands to clap, a pebble to create ripples, a snow flake to create a snowball and an effect to a consequence.<br /><br />I know the words are harsh. I know it might be subjective. I know its not pleasing to your ears....<br /><br />But gal, he was once yours before you choose to betray his trust.<br />He once chose to stay while you chose to move on. <br />He once gave while you took. <br />He once drown himself in self-pity when you had your "him". <br /><br />Now, set him free....set yourself free....its neither yours to choose nor him to decide. <br /><br />Let time heal all wounds, clear all minds, open all hearts, learn the mistakes, treasure the experiences and make oneself stronger. <br /><br />Love is not for the weak, the selfish or the fallen pple who chose not to pick themselves up. <br /><br />Be strong. Be brave. Have courage to learn from the past, to face the present and welcome the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-116815947222713741?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1167924708012554232007-01-04T23:05:00.000+08:002007-01-04T23:31:48.106+08:00Woooo hoooooo....It's now 2007!!!<br /><br />Time passes sooooo fast when you're having fun....sigh; C'est la vie...<br /><br />Xmas period was great....we had small family and frens gathering over steamboat on my actual bday, met up with other frens for dinner celebrations on other days, went for a drink to chill out and catch up, had a few pleasant surprises from frens & colleagues....received many many Happy Birthday wishes from all the wonderful frens and relatives of mine....hee....quite surprised with wishes from a few frens whom I have lost touched over the years...Guess dat reminds me I'm not making enuf effort to maintain our friendship & they're blaming me for it....waahahah....okies okies....I'll jiayou!!!! hee hee....oh boi, I absolutely like this time of the year....hee hee....<br /><br />The New year long holidays was not bad either....but just that I had too many late nights - KTV, stay-overs with frens, movies and Gelare supper!!!....hee.....so ended up having headache on Mon....arrrrghhh.....spoil my mon & tues holiday ne....waaaaail....so wasted....sigh....<br /><br />Well, that pretty sums up my last few moments of 2006....hee....pretty busy and fulfilling...but guilty coz I'm spending too much on entertainment and food instead of saving money for my future! arrrghhh....keke....but hey, its the holiday season....its the time to spend! muahahaahaha....who m I kidding....bleh....guilty guilty...hee hee....<br /><br />Hope 2007 will be a fulfilling year for ALL OF US!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-116792470801255423?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1166708750728123652006-12-21T21:35:00.000+08:002006-12-23T23:40:37.470+08:00Hee....my colleagues are just soooo sooooo sooooo sweet....they planned a little surprise for me today during lunch....hee....sigh....I love surprises! kekeke....n not only surprises, I love fooooood! kekeke....they know me so well ne....food + surprise...awwww....nothing beats it....I think I need to put my bf in their care for training lessons! kekeke....he sux when it comes to surprises....just take today for eg...I asked him where he's going aft work, he says Katong....then I say for wat ne?

I was pretty skeptical about the show as we have seen the flower displays in Sentosa and frankly speaking, it's not that spectacular but it's free lah....haha...so no complaints. So when my dd ask me to go with him to the Garden Fest, I was like nagging him....Are you sure its worth the $12? I can eat a Jack's Place Lunchie with that money u noe...waaah...got yummy soup with garlic bread, main course, dessert and tea ahhh....haha....n then he tickled me....bleh....<br /><br />Anyway, we met up with another couple fren for the displays and surprisingly, it's better than I expected...while, come to think of it, I wasn't expecting much either wat....keke....Well, due to the huge space that Suntec Convention offers, the displays were pretty huge and grand. I wouldn't say it's worth $12 but I did enjoy going through and marvelling at each display.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/242836/IMG_7875.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/680140/IMG_7875.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/207494/IMG_7894.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/970630/IMG_7894.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />On the left is the first display we saw that features a futuristic kinda image, titled a New World. On the right is us under a display that looks like the shimmering fireworks that we saw during the Singapore Fireworks Fest. Ooooh....I love fireworks! keke....<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/500045/IMG_7906.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/736180/IMG_7906.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><br />This is a cute little display of 2 love-struck grasshoppers staring into each other's eyes around a ball of roses...awww...okay, I made that up! muahahaha....<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/712147/IMG_7922.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/647994/IMG_7922.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/590401/IMG_7921.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/516475/IMG_7921.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/492383/IMG_7923.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0px auto 10px; 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/55492/IMG_7923.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> I was particularly impressed with this display as it really takes me into a whole different world. It is shaped like a dome made from dried leaves with a very natural kinda feeling, at the same time pretty out of this world. This display aims to advocate an awareness in our natural world and what the world will look like if humans continue to ignore the "signs" and continue harming the environment. Very strong message successfully brought across in this display. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/112819/IMG_7933.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/269451/IMG_7933.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> This cactus damn cutie right? hee hee...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/250185/IMG_7935.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/23375/IMG_7935.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/1600/405151/IMG_7963.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4389/1203/320/648020/IMG_7963.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><br />okays, I shall end this entry with a paparrazi shot of my camera-shy couple frens and final photo taken with my dd....hee hee...my camera sux...coz the lightings in the hall was pretty dim and it's really difficult to shoot with a pns (point & shoot) camera....sigh....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-116645910366294865?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1165424292208889652006-12-07T00:23:00.000+08:002006-12-07T00:58:12.366+08:00Hmm...here I am again..."wasting" my previous sleeping time to do assignments AGAIN! Sobz...<br /><br />Assignment Topic: Discuss one thing you would like to include in a preschool that has not been applied now in Spore preschools. Well, my topic is to discuss abt including the issue of gay/lesbian(GL) to preschoolers (4-6yrs old children).<br /><br />*Sensitive topic....so pls do not read on if you feel uncomfortable with GL issues*<br /><br />Oh boi...I have been doing my research and asking ard my friends and colleagues who have young kids of their own if they support or oppose to the above move. Frankly, I'm a little disappointed that 99% told me a straight "No" and this topic is soooo sensitive that, trust me, some ended up pretty agitated! kekeke....dats cool as this would allow me to think abt the issues and problems that I might face in real life when these are the parents of my students...I can feel the HEAT right there and then, man! kekkee....interesting.....<br /><br />Many problems that popped up include - the child is too young to understand this issue, the parents will question if the teacher is GL, will the children be made to think that GL are right, will this clash with religious teachings and morals & values...etc etc...right to the point that parents will think the school is agreeing with GL and thus cultivating young children to mislead themselves into becoming GL in future.<br /><br />However, my point is...if I am a teacher and say in 10yrs time whereby spore might legalise GL marriage and thus there might be a GL couple who can now adopt/have children of their own, where does these children come in? Will the society be taught to alienate them (the child of GL parents) or should we cultivate an open mind to accept them for who there are but at the same time, taught to hold our own beliefs and thinking. If I'm a Catholic who do not believe in GL, can we teach our child to accept GL for who they are but hold on to our belief that GL is something I would not turn to? Afterall, GL does exist in our world. So, wat better way than for schools to introduce them to this existence rather than having them finding out abt ir in a misguided way when they chance upon it in future?<br /><br />Sometimes, by allowing oneself to be involved in too much of one thing tends to shut our minds to others. Just like if man have never travelled, we will not allow ourselves to think that the world is round. Afterall, our world will still be wat we think it is without the existence of technology...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-116542429220888965?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1164899286925048222006-11-30T23:01:00.000+08:002006-11-30T23:08:06.943+08:00Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!! <br /><br />WE GOT IT! *screams me & my dd with happiness*<br /><br />We got our flat!!!! - THE Tampines Premier!!!

Arrrghhh....This module has been one of the toughest I have experienced so far...maybe it's becoz of the topic, maybe it's because of the many readings and researches I have to do in a mere couple of weeks, maybe it's just that I'm so tired of studying part time and working full time, or maybe because I'm doing last min work again....Arrrghhh....Whatever it is, I'm stressed out AGAIN!!!<br /><br />"Just 2 more modules"....I kept telling myself! "Persevere! And if u fail this module, u're gonna be sooooo dead!" Arrghhhhh....That's not helping....waaaaail.... I want my ice cream!!!! <br /><br />So, I went to sms my dd telling him how stressed up I am and asking if he wanna bring me go eat ice cream. Hee...And his reply was "Let's go Airport eat Swensen". It was so quick and so good to hear that I can't resist the idea of hugging him right that minute! keekkee....Soooo excited. And so...in abt 15 mins, he came to fetch me for my well deserved ice cream! hee hee...<br /><br />Away we went to the airport and they were having some set dinner as usual. <br /><br />The soup came first and I grimaced when I heard they were serving onion soup!

Most of you were already teachers or even principals of some preschools and for me, I was a total stranger to educating children...At least others have experience being a mother...haha....so I didnt really have any similar topics to share....<br /><br />Just as I was bracing myself for the hardships to follow for the next 2 yrs, you all came along and made me feel I belonged. I've never seen such a close knitted class before! Everyone was sharing their stories and jokes from school...Everyone was involving everyone in the conversation. And everyone were just so happy and enthusiatic sharing all the additional study materials and guidance with me. So much so, I was apologising most of the time as I didn't have any additional educational materials to share with them. But they didnt mind of coz...hee....<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanna say how glad I am to have met all of you, angels. I have no doubt that with all of u as teachers to our children, the children are definitely in safe haven....<br /><br />Hmmm.....I wonder if I can match up to their standards...sigh...sometimes, I don't think I have that much patience and love as them....maybe time will tell....I'm looking forward to this career change...hee...maybe 8 yrs from now? keke....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-116032637890681546?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1160315712053525022006-10-08T21:44:00.000+08:002006-10-15T14:46:24.340+08:00Oh Boi oh Boi....just look at me!

Hope Sept do come quick u noe!!!<br /><br />Cirque du Soleil productions are really one of a kind....well, maybe in teeny weeny spore, i didnt get to experience other better production(dats IF there r any, but i doubt so...haha) . Where else can u find a great storyline, fantasy, music, humour, emotions & artistically crafted acrobatics....its like everything combined into one really expressive show!<br /><br />Cirque production never fail to leave me feeling so in awe & asking for more. Really! really rwalli really! hahaha....<br /><br />Anyway, do have a look n see it for urself. Its a sure road to no regrets.....haha.....<br /><br />P/S : btw, crew of cirque du soleil, do i get any discounts now? I'm like hardselling your production u noe......haha......<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-111936475018679895?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1119280983947319022005-06-20T23:14:00.000+08:002006-10-15T14:43:28.476+08:00Ever since my parents put me on a plane from Singapore to KL (my very own birth place) alone at an early age of 7 (well, not really alone of coz, with an Air Stewardess but w/o my family! sobz!), It has lead to a childhood dream of mine to be able to sit on an aeroplane and fly off to where-ever it is willing to take me to. I used to daydream that perhaps one day, it'll even be willing to take me to the clouds & visit my carebears there. haha....maybe I've not been a really gd gal yeah?<br /><br />So, whats so gd abt travelling, one (most prob a boring to the core or some cheap skate kinda person) wld ask?<br /><br />Have u ever take the time to wonder how different each individual r? More so wif each different countries. Y do cultures differ wif each country or race? Y do names differ from a simple Jane to a complicated rosemarybrown john richard Junior?<br /><br />Ahhh.........travel.......thats the answer.........so the next time u decide on where u intend to spend your hard-earned $$ on, dun even think abt banging it on some easily replaceable material stuffs or status heightening items. Travel.....widen ur knowledge, Enjoy the process & viola.....its a whole new experience waiting for you out there to venture upon.....<br /><br />I just luuuuurve travelling......awwwwwwwww.......<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-111928098394731902?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13611088.post-1119191800303674952005-06-19T22:15:00.000+08:002006-10-15T14:38:55.030+08:00Ohh......I absolutely absoulutely luuuuuuuuurve watching movies.....okay, not ALL kinda movies to proclaim myself a movie freak....haha....but enuf to watch all kinds of rubbish w/o falling asleep.....how is that! ha!<br /><br />Was telling my fren how much i cried & luv the movie "raise ur voice".....n he was like laughing like hell k!!! say i haf such bimbotic taste &amp; told me this movie is a proclaimed flop! I was like.....ur head lah.....this is a great movie k!!! then he told me, go check out the online review. So, we went to the rottentomato website.....n arrghhhh!!!!! they say its only like less than 10% good!!! less than 10%!!!! wat the h***!!!<br /><br />WHO in the world r these so called critics who publish their views in the newspapers or magazines or internet, etc? Seriously, do u pple actually read these critics and do as they tell? If these critics say that the movie sux all time, will u really give it a miss? Nooooooooooooo........<br /><br />Haf u ever wonder how come those film fest movies r soooooo boring, sad & most of the time either RA or sadistic/psycho! Eeeeeks!!!! Is that what u call an um.....artistic good film? If so, I really declare myself a bimbo when it comes to movies that I like!<br /><br />I absolutely hate shows that make me cry or sad when i leave the cinema. I will be soooo disturbed that i will be in an unstable/bad mood for the rest of the day. Life is really too short to feel sad, u noe. So, dont! hahaa.....maybe tat is y i'm always so addicted to "chick flick"....keke.... u noe.....those kind like mean girls, raise ur voice, cinderella story and my fav before sunset. Romantic, enjoyable & happie ending kind(or at least it gives me room for me to imagine its a gd ending to come)....heee.....leaves me happie n yearning for more u noe....hahaha.....<br /><br />Anyway, a good movie is one that makes me feeling happy for as long as it allows me to, agree?..... not reviews from some unknown strangers.....i will not accept it! NOOOO!!! *unless u change the reviews for raise ur voice to more than 50% good? heeeee.....*<br /><br />Cheeeeers to more chick flicks! haha....btw, i luv LOTR & Troy too u noe.....hee.....coz got lotsa romance too mah....tsk tsk..... :p<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13611088-111919180030367495?l=paradigmdreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>paradigmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01575309355758141981noreply@blogger.com
