Yes, I have finally come to the end of my illustrious career. Nah... not yet.... Today marks the end of contract teaching. for a happy while at least, there will be no more greetings of 'cher' and point-point at my earhole/stud and metaphoric kissing of my hand by my following... I think i'll miss that, all of it plus the life of a teacher, sitting in an office, making coffee madly, shouting at students and frightening little kids.
Next week shall be the return of Kenneth the student. Or student teacher as they like to call us. Which of course sounds kinda weird but who cares as long as they pay us decently.
Today, a young teacher asked an older one at the compeition why we must not carry on with the last few events and end the day earlier and the older one said we had to wait for the guest of honour. And he went on to say how it is in working life, especially working in big organizations and you always have to put up shows. How sadly true. Impedes productivity sometimes yes, but I suppose inevitable in big corporations. He even quoted the bard where the world's a stage and we are but mere actors. Well....
Anyway... I'm happy to gog back to being a student, even though it means going to LUIS. I hope I'm correct. For a temporal retreat, a cleft.
I like this business. This business of educating. Where truth is our life's work. Dear God, yup thanks, I found it.

Happily Fed Pasta Boy
Yes, that's me....
Hee.... and yea again, as you can tell, I'm still drunk on that. It's a pity, how could I have forgotten. Repeated to myself to take a pic before I started eating, but alas.... SBS... I forgot. Totally.
But, I must honestly and sincerely say, the pasta was really good. It wasn't anywhere what you proclaim about your dodgy culinary skills lol... Tell me... what's that feeling? When I eat the pasta, I feel very happy. Its tasted really good. I must of course say, me being highly ecstatic might have been a little biased, but it definitely was better than how you always make your cooking sounds.
Yes, I'm drunk.. drunk by how touched and how happy I felt to have you cook dinner not just for me, but all of us. Thank you sweetheart! Ready to take my next order already? Hee...

Day and night~ Heee... I'm happy you're happy~~~
Hope the flowers help do their flowery little parts and perk you up! You kno, after I bought you the flowers and when I was on the train, I didn't mind one bit some people were looking at me, you know. In fact, I felt really happy because I was gonna get to see you soon, and I feel happy that I actually remember and like to get you flowers. I hope I never get lazy about this and deny you this little perk. I feel happy I'm the man who is privileged enough to bring you flowers. =)
Pirates... hmm.... we caught the movie today in the evening... well, not bad eh? wonder how Part 3 will be.. Yes, I have to admit, it's rather confusing actually.... shall perhaps talk about it more next time...

the Grand Grad
10th July 2006. Commencement Day. Flips'.
Today has been a most wonderful day for many reasons. Although well... the French lost the World Cup. Yes, I just had to jump on the bandwagon and mention it like everyone else. It's alright, the Sheep and me and Flips. Sometimes, some things are just meant to work out like this. Please don't get worked up.
Well.... while you might say the mortar board is not flattering, I personally think you make it look incredible cute~ =) I like how it looks on you!
I must say, all the mad running about, and trying to get all the friends' parents together to take one big happy picture was really not easy. Congratulations on achieving that Great Flips, wonderful feat. I think I like the mad multi camera photo-taking experience very fun!
Oooh, talking about photo-taking... heehehe... yes, the pooh is mad.... or rather, a weird photographer. Eh, candid pictures mah! And honestly, I do think alot of them look fantastic lol~
Today was also possibly the last day for a long time to come for us to eat the Gecko chicken. And double portion at that lol... Though I must concur, the decor looks worse. I much much prefer the previous one.
Thank you darling, for having me with your family at your day of graduation, for making part of it. Ain't exactly a parent, but I'm damn proud of ya! And honoured too I was there with you today. Sleep tight tonight Flips! What a seemingly long but happy day it has been... =)

The Sheep Speaks Futbol
I must say, World Cups from around 98 onwards have somehow lost that magic for me. I remembered waking up many years ago to a Italian, Roberto Baggio, completely missing a penalty shootout which caused them to lose to Sambal Chilli. Then, there were the exciting colours of blue and white and a happy sun of Argentina that strangely drew me.
Fortunately, there is now someone else I watch the World Cup with and for. She's one big super plus point and makes catching the World Cup with her a most memorable moment to be dearly treasured.
I looked at the Sheep, hoping for a sign, waiting for him to speak. He stares blankly at me. Rather merrily too, I think.
Indeed, it is not easy trying to get the answer to the question on many minds: will it be France or Italy?
what I imagine some experts might say....
Rhos- "I can't quite tell who's who. I'm colour-blind..."
the Sheep- "Exciting! My fleece is with Barthez and France. He's bald, I think he's funny."
Fraz- "Either team winning is fine, I'm just happy that it's an event that brings the world together. I don't think I can watch though, it's at 2 or 3 in the morning. I need the rest after taking my medicine..."
Bak Kut- "GERMANY!!!!!! My favourite colours! Oh, they're out? Already?Ahem..."
Pooh- "I think its its gonna be a tough game. For those who are not very tuned to football language and history, picking a winner between France and Italy is like me trying to pick between french fries or pasta. Yes, it's that tough."
Flips- "Les Bleus!"
Bubblez- "Italia!!! Root for home!!!! Carry me!!!!"

An Unforgettable Night
I must say.... this is surely a really special, sweet. warm and lovely experience~~ Laa laa laa~~~
Though I can't quite fathom why two non-soccer fans would wanna watch a match at like 3 in the morning....
Having you reading, in the same room with me, while I do plastic sticking, felt so right so cosy. Heee... I think it would be fun next time, you reading a book or doing soemthing else, and me in the same room doing some other frivolous stuff like mad-marking or ironing our clothes =P -whirling paws resume-
And there's the Sheep, humming non-stop to a certain song he can't help repeating....
Even the wind and the feel of everything feels so right~ hmm...
Though I must say, watching a late-night match really gets us. Don't think we can do it too often too lol.... You look exhausted lol... poor o' Flips~
WEll.. right now, as usual, Koo Chye also known by his english name Chive, is in the comp lab. slapped with relief classes till 2pm again. Hope you're sleeping soundly and safely in your cosy bed right now, with weird sweet dreams of weird poohish boyfriend and his friend the tofu thighs, numerous posing of Dome, clashes of greasy blue jerseys and white. A sad clash of former friends, Big Moustache VS Small Moustache. Lol... see ya soon! Muack Love Ya !!!!! The night was superb! All of it~
