Thanks to all the well-wishes. And because of you guys' blessing, I have a great first day at work!
But a Day 1 does not determine a gd day 2 and yada yada..
I can only say that the atmosphere at work is VERY tense and negative..
Since I'm here to stay, for a couple of years I guess, I'm going to be very optimistic about everything..
I believe I can make it through, I believe I can survive, I believe I can meet my goals!
Thankful that I know some of my colleagues because I have help out there previously.. But soon they may be gone with the wind~
I'm going to be strong and focus on doing my best! Pray!

Blessed me! I met my to-be colleague in GF's Church on Sun.. I had went for their service by chance. Not planned, but am glad I was there..
I heard tt she was leaving previously, and tt I'll be going to take over her class.. Luckily that will not happen for this couple of months.. I think I'll die if that really happen.. Because ... of something confidential
I pretty much, convinced myself to believe that I have salvaged the situation.. hahas.. Ok, that's my one-sided thinking.. But anyway, she'll be staying, at least for this period.
:D
I did try to lighten her load by making the effort to help her lighten the pile of unfinished load during my break..
Still a Joy! Continue to bless me..

In My New Place
♥
Finally, had the time to switch on my notebook! Yes, only at this hour..
After all the hard work of packing, shifting and unpacking for the whole week, finally at my new place.. With all the aches and battle-scars.. I had cuts, bruises and what-not everywhere..
Quite a funny sight. My bro was commenting on my mum's hand and said, 'you also paste plaster!' And everyone, my dad, sis, bro and myself replied that 'ya, I also have it on my......' We all fought a big battle. Thanks god everything is more or less settled.. My place looks spacious when they was nothing but when all the stuff are shifted over, the whole place looks so cramped up.. Hopefully when everything is packed nicely, it'll be better..
For myself, I still have a lot to unpack in my room.. I mean really alot.. I had so many boxes and stuff that it occupied more than 3/4 of my room.. -.- HAHA! Ok, I cleared at least 1/2 of it already, and I wish I had more time to pack the rest of the stuff away.. But I'm starting wrk on Mon -.- And I've wrk tml and another 'event' on Sunday.. -.-'' Time is so tight!
Tonight in the first night staying at my new place.. How do I feel? Quite frustrating, really!
Initially, I'm quite worried abt the air-con cause we didnt have much time to install a new set, so we had to make do with the old set left behind by the previous owner.. I'm worried it wouldn't be cold, turned out it is freezing COLD! grr~ And I cant find my jacket cause it's kept away, somewhere~
And today, I was busy with alot of stuff on hand till I forgot the time..
I was supposed to leave home an hr before the meeting time to travel to town for a school dinner but I have yet to bathe, do my hair and my makeup.. And peak hrs + cab = (-.-)" End up I was very very late.
It used to took me 10mins by cab to reach town. Now it takes like forever because of the jam.
And because of the dinner, I came home quite late. Thanks to my friend who send me back or else I can be very 'happy' about taking cab with the mid-night charge.. tsks
Because of the unfamiliarity, it's quite scary too.. hahahas.. I couldn't open up the gate and I kind of panic, which worsen the whole situation..
Luckily! After struggling for what seems like years! I was rescued by my dad and bro! Phew~
And then, I struggled to find my stuff in my own room.. (I'm still feeling very cold!!)
And and and I definitely needs curtain! People staying opposite keep looking into my room.. Both my sis and myself is so irritated that we didnt want to open up the window in the day. But according to my sis, people can still see what we're doing when we switch on the lights in the room.. In this whole period that I was blogging, the particular fellow has already looked over for six times.. hahahas.. Very irritated at the sight, Iwent to switch off the table light only to realize it's connected to my laptop.. And I didn't insert battery inside.. How nice!
Anyway, during the dinner. I met my t0-be colleagues. After the chat, I think the stuff that I've hope and pray it won't happen will sadly and definitely happen. No doubt~
I was initially kind of looking forward to work on Monday, but now.. I'm kind of worried, I mean totally.. Work related issues are so sensitive and I can't mention much about it.. I think I need to find another outlet!
Now I'm predicting that I'll have lesser time for myself, my SCRAPBOOKING, my jogs and my 'dates' with all my dearests friends.
argh~ What a night! And this whole two weeks is coupled up with packing, shifting place, unpacking and many major events too.. I'm so drained!
And I still can't find my jacket! :(

Scrapbooking
♥
This entry will be all about craft stuff..
I've been bragging about doing my scrapbook for centuries.. How did the interest of scrapbooking started? No idea.. I've always been a very craft person but interests for scrapbooking only started prob when I join the ECH course?
Where one have to D.I.Y many stuff such as doing portfolios for the children, the bulletin Board etc at the centre tt I was previously teaching.. That must be it..
I've purchased many stuff but have not started on anything! Ok.. Perhaps only the mini projects.. And now everything is packed away waiting for the 'migration' to take place like real soon..
When I was in Taiwan, I rmbed watching those D.I.Y craft show on tv.. And they were promoting this cutter. actual name is ' Die Cut Machine'...
And watching that show just sparked off the intention to get my hands on it.. But apparently I was going to fly back to SG the next day and ain't sure where I can actually get my hands on it.. I forgot all about it when I returned from TW, not until I spotted it in Singapore recently, they've the smaller machine at the pushcart..
Here's a picture for you to catch a glimpse.. This is the small & medium-sized machines..
Today, I finally found some time to patronize their main shop at Century Square..
Totally amazed with all the craft tools and materials.. And the shop owner have the die cut machine in 3 different sizes.. Along with the 'cutting dies' and the embossing tools..
I can't make up my mind getting the bigger machine which can insert A4 paper or just the medium-sized machine..
Oh yesh, it doesnt come cheap, the machine and the cutting tools.. But I'm already bent on getting my hands on them.. Prob will returned to the shop next week or the week after to get them!!
Cause the shop owner gave me a special promo package.. :D Machine + Die cut template+ craft class
Here are some videos to show you how awesome this machine is :)

More ideas~
And more~
If my craft wrk is up to standard, I can make a card like this for diff occasions for all my dearests..
Oops, I've been looking at these D.I.Y videos for 2hrs.. And scrapbooking is a totally expensive hobby but totally addictive and fun too.. :) Love it!
