guess what?! i've got a new student in class! and its a..... GIRL!!!
yes, yes, YES! a DAMN cute malay girl. huge eyes with curly fries hair on top!
awww. i've always wanted that. makes me melt.
okay so anyway, the day before, i chatted with the principal. she asked again, when i'll be able to work full time. i feel so pressurised la! everyone's been asking!
actually i talk to her to ask if i can get a pay raise first. cause INSYAALLAH i will be finishing school by AUGUST 2009. then i'll be a diploma holder! yea. dip dip banana dip.
but she said she needs to see the cert. and i said i dont know when i will get it la. maybe next year. exam results can? she said no. and i asked if i were to work full time how much will my salary be.
she said $1200. negotiable? $50 more. $1250.
i wanted to *yakdish her la. LOL. and i asked if i had the cert, how much would it be. she said "one thousand three hundred and fifty".
okay, thats like $100 more? god. i spent FOUR bloody long years la in poly. four and a half, to be exact.
so now im torn between whether i should get a degree, or just stay in this childcare line. over here, i get to upgrade myself and pay likewise. but i still dont earn as much as i will when i get a degree la.
so how! four years of full time study? or three years of part time study.
the difference in salary is like a thousand dollars plus plus plus. and the difference in years of study is only one. but will i be able to cope?
RARRR! how? i just wish there is someone i can talk to bout such matters.
i told the principal i will think about it. because when i first accepted the job, i told her its only gonna be part time. but damn! i fell in love with it.
okay, enough of this. chapter 2. LRT.
have you ever been on an lrt? yeap, the one that doesnt have a driver. like the skytrain at the airport. (only that it smells better.)
i was on the way to QX's 21st birthday party @ bukit panjang CC. met shawn @ choa chu kang station. leonard and alex were late, so we left on our own.
me: looks like there's lots of people. im afraid i cant breathe later. shawn: i also dont like to take lrt. everytime spoil. me: *starting to feel anxious, the butterflies start to flutter* seriously? shawn: ya! you never hear before meh! me: no~ when?! shawn: everytime!
so lrt arrives...
cck -> south view -> keat hong -> teck whye -> phoenix.
we just arrived at the phoenix station. and suddenly, the train lights went off and so did the air con. the train did not open its doors.
i looked at shawn.
me: what happened? shawn: dont know. i think it stalled. me: really? shawn: ya, see just now i say ady! everytime spoil. me: mulot masin siol!!! shawn: should we sit? me: okay.
everyone else on the train carries on chatting or were on the phone. they seemed calm. like as if the train was still operating.
me: how long are we gonna stay here? shawn: i dont know. me: isnt anyone gonna call someone to save us? what if no one knows we are here?! shawn: there's people outside at the station. me: *looks around and saw an emergency phone* shawn! quick call! shawn: *lifts the phone and put it to his ear* okay bye! me: what?! just okay bye?! shawn: she knows we are stuck. she said its due to power failure. me: did you know that the other time the singapore flyer had a power failure, they stayed in there for 6 hours! shawn: you were on it?! me: no! omg. im going to faint. stop talking to me.
i was staring at the door and i noticed it had a gap. yes! we are alive! an indian man used the emergency door unlock thing.
yes la. thank you, man. you saved my life.
and we took a cab down to the CC. where we met leonard at the bus stop. and went up to level 4; multi purpose hall.

oh! and the roller-bladers like jump across people la. it was freaking scary. i've got some pictures here.
6 people here.

these hats we are wearing cost like 80 cents each.
and the birthday boy spent like $500 on balloons itself.
