I love my job

It's so boring when it's not a working day. Well ya, relaxing myself to the max but somehow it's boring. Suppose to be listening to those fragmented melodies now, but the music centre is having term break. Yea, that's why. Bored at home.
I love my job. Despite all those screaming shouting scolding advising lecturing etc etc you could hear from my room, I still love my job.

My lectures do make them cry. It only works on kids below 12 anyway. No they won't cry if I shout on them. But if I say things like,

'do you know that your parents earn very hard to send you here?'
'if you are really not interested, just let me know kay?'
'why do you think your parents bought the piano for? to be decoration?'

'do you know how many bowls of mee you can buy with your tuition fees?'

(I know this is funny, and I do understand they don't really understand that. But I just somehow said it out. Did your piano teacher do the same to you too?)

yea, they will be teary~~ wakaka...

Anyway, show you guys my youngest students.

So cute you can't resist them. They are in the same class. Both of them are 6. The girl prefer playing piano while the guy loves doing theory work (well, stickers and coloring, you know).

Each of them will purposely shout, 'Teacher, I tell you something, but you don't tell Anderson/Ashley.'
And they will start whispering. Normally it's about where will they hangout in the weekend or what movie they will watch or have watched. So cute~~~

I wish that they stay in my class so that I can be their matchmaker nyahaha.

And my oldest student, Jol Ann.
She is 4 years younger than me so we talk about almost everything. We share her (well I don't reveal much of myself nyaha. Imma good listener) matters arise from relationship, academic, friendship, etc.etc. So it's like me and my ex-teacher too. =)

Oh show you guys my cutest ex-students in KK. I left them because I was coming back to KL.

Walao. This girl is super talkative you know. She asked about EVERYTHING. Ya, including relationship. And she is only 5. Woow.
The brothers who wear the same outfits EVERYTIME. Well they are not triplets.Neh you see I'm wearing blazer because it is provided. Looks more like a piano teacher wor. Luckily I can wear t-shirt and jeans (even bermuda shorts~~ ^^) at my current workplace nyahaha.

Oh and my colleagues. We have been knowing each others for 6 years. Freaking 6 years! Oh my gosh people, time flies. I feel that the MYUSGA performance is some yesterday thingy. Lots had happened among us. Had crush, and crashed; in a relationship, and broken. I miss those days. They were the one who started my midnight mamak session - that's why my family hate them LOL. Well I was 16, most of my friends didn't go out late night that time (btw I'm still having curfew at my age of 21).

We don't talk much now. Everyone is busy with their work (except for me who is like damn free now=.=). It's been so long since we go Ahmad Mahyideen (favourite mamak spot). =(Our hottest topic is to gossip about students. Muahahahaha.

And my ex-colleague from Century Music Centre. My farewell =(.So wanna go back and visit them now.

Oh my workplace.

Nay. This is not my room. I was just replacing my friend. I 'm not sure what is this big mirror for.
This is like a waiting area for students. And oh, during 1 week or 2 before theory exam, there will be lotsa students sitting here, doing extra pass year questions. Just don't understand why can't they do it at home duh.
Yay this is my room. Spacious, clean, comfort~ Could be too cold at times.
One bad thing about my job. I could never keep my nails. Well you know, role model.

No way.
That's why...
Wakaka. Removing it while driving to work. Totally forgotten before work.

infatuation

Recently, I fall *hopelessly* for a guy.

He is someone whom I have met for not more than 5 times.
I don't even know his name, his age, yadda yadda when I FEEL like I like him.

And a friend describe my feeling for him as infatuation.Infatuation. Definitely. (source here)

I don't believe in love at first sight.

Anyway, before him, I've infatuated over 38785 guys. So this isn't really a big deal. Haha.

Before I get to know this word, I describe it as 'temporary feeling'. (yayaya, my vocab is limited). So if you have the chance to read my diary, you will bump into countless 'temporary feeling' in those pages. Those were those high school days anyway.

Now I'm 21. I'm still infatuating someone.

Sigh. Why am I still so high-schooled? Yea. I won't mind if you say me childish.

Oh btw, will let you guys know when my infatuation over him ends. Soon. Maybe the day after tomorrow.

p/s: Oh!!! That's the song by Maroon 5!! I never know infatuation is the name!!!

*update (12 hours after the entry): this is just not so right. Shall stop the feeling from flowing further~ Muahaha~*

I am happy... again

*update: so there were some people who wished me happy birthday after i published this post.
I really appreciate it. Thank you. =)
But my birthday doesn't fall on 24th haha
It was a very very early celebration*

Happy, not happy, happy, not happy.

I'm so emotional la aiyak.

Now I am happy. You see, I have used to compare myself to the others.
Haih I wish I were her.
Haih how come she can do this while I can't.
Haih how come she is so lovable.
Haih.. this and that. Yadda yadda yadda. Never satisfied.

Now I realise that I really do not need to compare. Being me is good enough.

At least there are people who aware of my existence. They still remember me~!!

Look, this is my aunty and her family. They brought two pizzas and a tiramisu (which is one of my favourite) to celebrate my birthday!
See, my cousins were forced to sing birthday song. They have to because mommy said no song, no pizza. Ngek ngek ngek.Food food and food. Those were cheesetarts and eggtarts baked by my grandma.
Nah my lovely grandma.. and my aunt.
Awww..... This is so sweet you see... I have never expected that they were coming over to celebrate my birthday when she called me today. She just told me that she was gonna visit us and asked me if I would be at home.

*sniff* they remember that when I'm really not too close to them...

That's not all. My neighbour came over and asked me if I wanna join them for watching Malaysia International Firework Competition. Again, they still remember me~!! It was their family gathering kind of thing and they asked me to join them~ (actually last year they did ask me to join them and it was when I fall for firework performance.)

Nah. The view from my seat.
Wooi. Windy. *take out camera fast and takes picture*
*sniff* why is everyone treating me so good?

I suddenly feel so glad to be myself. =) Thank you everyone~~ Thank you~~

*the blog has became more like a personal diary. =.= nothing better to do. that's why*

Music is so magical

Continued from this entry.

Apparently I wanted to write about something but I thought that it wasn't the right time.

Now, it's still not the right time. =.= I have completed the post and have saved it as draft but I didn't publish it.

I've sworn upon the result of my hair color that I will write about it in 3 days time.

Yea, my hair looks so black now - where my desired result is burgundy.

So that's how the formula go:
- I will have to write about it, otherwise my haircolor wouldn't turn to be very nice
- Now I don't have very stunning haircolor, thus I won't have to write about it.

The end of the story.

I wanna shout it out because I'm so happy

Yea you must have thought that I've gone mad because I just broke up and I am happy like that. And ya I know you must have thought that I purposely say all these things to hide my feelings - the sorrow which is deep down inside there.

No!! You are wrong~!!!

My title is inspired by the lyric of some song. Anyway will talk about it later.

*Last Night*
Outing with besties
I am happy. I went out with two besties who did not believe that I am single~~ I know I sound unhappy but I'm not. If you want to insist that I am unhappy okay lar. But pictures would do all the sayings.

I wanna shout it out because I'm so happy that Mei Yi brought me a Hot Pink elephant (which is currently attached on my black and white oversized tote) from Thailand.Feel like cutting off that ugly pout. super pale without lippie. Eyes also super small without all eyeliner and eyeshadow. Arms are muscular if you haven't noticed. Walao.

I wanna shout it out because I am so happy that I was be able to meet them before they fly off again!

I lurve them to bits~ =p

'I am so happy to have you guys as my friends!!'


*Today*
Professional Development Programme
I wanna shout it out that I am so happy that I have attended a professional development programme (sounds pro, but it's just a seminar which could be attended by any piano teacher) which I was extremely satisfied with. I thought the whole thing would be boring, I thought I would be damn sleepy like how I felt in the last seminar (back to 4 years ago). But no! The presenters have some really great sense of humour and I was pretty amused by their presentation. And I had some really good food for lunch wakaka. Didn't manage to take any picture of the food because I was too hungry.

Anyway here are some pictures taken from the seminar while they are talking about the grade 8 pieces. Well basically the whole seminar is about introducing the new syllabus of the upcoming practical examination by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM in short. Sounds pro. But it's really easy to pass grade 1 of that exam if you hire me as your teacher wakaka). Back to the seminar. I do not have any student taking grade 8 exam thus I did not really pay attention in the end of the seminar where they were covering the grade 8 syllabus. Purely enjoying some songs played by them wakaka. And taken some pictures.

I wanna shout it out because I am so happy that I have attended that seminar!!!!
The very likable presenters Vanessa and Timothy.
As if calling friends haha.

Jessica, Hong Bee, Pearly

I have actually only written '100' beside the word 'grade 8' because I get this bare pass mark '100' in my grade 8 practical examination (out of 150. ya passing mark is 100 and I get 100). What a disgrace. But the two very creative piano teachers who were sitting beside me added the rest to make my '100' become a pig.

No la. I'm not that happy to the extent that I wanna shout this out.

'I am so happy that I have attended a seminar!'
Sounds like a moron if I really shout this out. =.=

Song Festival
I have mentioned earlier that I'm helping out Jonathan in his church's song festival right?

I have actually taken the lyric from one of the song they will be singing tomorrow. Yea, the title is simple - 'The Happy Song'. I feel their happiness *deeply* whenever they sing 'I wanna shout it out!', thus I hope that by writing 'I wanna shout it out' in as this post's title you can feel my happiness too.

Some pictures taken during their practice.Group Pic. Awww.. Most of them were not there yet. No you don't have to search for me. I was holding the camera.

Wakaka Yee Ling the deputy commander of the group covered her face because she was specky. But doesn't matter la. My hand is damn shaky you see.

The guy who has some terrified and magnetic and intriguing voice when he sang 'east to west'. I feel damn emo whenever I listen to it and I feel like crying although I have yet to learn the lyrics. I told Jonathan that I would fall for him if I just listened to his voice (hidden meaning: with his face covered. Damn bad la me =.=) and Jonathan told me *in a very serious way* that he has already had a girlfriend. =.= Si Jonathan didn't realise that it was a joke. I was merely giving compliments in a more creative way la.



Video of that happy song. The very inspiring 'I wanna shout it out' part is at 1:06 if you are interested. Haha can see that specky Yee Ling~

'I am so happy that I will be playing a part in the song fest.!'


Tomorrow will be our big day. Wish us luck~

What a musical day. Again, I wanna say that I am happy because I am closely connected to music today~ Musical is so magical~ (this is a hint to this matter)

p/s: I will gonna miss them. They are Christians. Imma Buddhist. I do believe that religion is not a matter. I hope that they think the same. =(
