bah bah black sheep

my favourite kid in school this practicum is Daven Chua
initially, it was neutral. just normal liking.
then, i grew to LOVE him. he is just so crapy. like me.

you know, it is not easy being crapy. ya ya, people laugh
at you or your jokes but it takes a sense of humour to be crapy,
so ya, i really like Daven Chua.

you see what he's doing? he's playing "dead"
everyone was so bored, they started running around
and chasing each other. SUDDENLY, daven dropped onto the
floor, sprawled and motionless. his friends cheered! they
all laugh and shout and cheered while he was so still.
see how clever daven is? he could act.

oh, you know one disgusting thing that daven loves to
do is to chew and keep food in his mouth for HOURS.
no lah, probably 20mins. and 20mins is ENOUGH to kill me.
he would be playing with his friends, he would play like
normal but his mouth would be closed and he'll be mute.
i was puzzled, and asked: "what's that in your mouth?"
of course he couldn't speak, he would then, tilt his head back,
angle his mouth in a way that the LIQUID concoction does
not spill from his mouth. LIQUID concoction is the digested
version of bread, bun or anything in the form of pastry.
i have NEVER seen,, you know, bread in pure watery format.
i almost puked. daven thought it was funny and i fell to his
trick twice. ya. silly me. i forgot daven is crapy.
but i like him a lot. who else could have the intelligence to
play dead so well.

akirah's mom is a school teacher in the centre.
i didn't know that. ever since i laid eyes on akirah,
i was mesmerized. she is so very pretty. very very sweet.
almond shaped face, captivating eyes. and very long eye lashes.
her mom brought her for audition to be baby model. but akirah
was too tensed and afraid of strangers. emmm. i told her mom
it's ok. she can be model when she grows up. watch that face.

there was this teacher-- Siti, who was so sweet.
she asked how old am i and i said 30 but for the last day.
know what? the next day she bought me a cake. well a piece of cake
not the whole cake. but i could share it with her and another
part-time teacher--Yani. Yani is another sweet teacher though
initially i didnt think too much of her. (becos i am generally not
a sociable person and i dont bother to go around asking ppe even for
their name. i can work in a place for years without socializing,, so ya
i am private in nature) k, back to Yani-- she saved a pigeon who was
bitten by a cat. the pigeon was bleeding and she carefully placed it
into a box and nursed it. so ya,, i am impressed by her kindness.

oh -- talking abt being private. there is this old teacher-- abt 50plus plus
plus-- who probably asked me my life's history for the 5 days she was
with me. i am just being nice, so everything she asked, i said yes.
wa haha. she asked if i earn $5K a month, i said "ah, sometimes lor depends
on my commission lor." her eyes widened and asked "so sometimes 3, 4 or 5K?
again i said -- ah depends lor.

hahahaha why deny.

*****
emmm
the other 2 cakes are bought by my old frens at ex work place.
so nice of them. they insisted buying me dinner and i feel so very fortunate
whenever i have marvelicious food.
you know,, i am actually very touched with all the sms and BD greetings
i get from my frens and cousins and sista. and my mom.
she called me today to wish me happy BD cos today is my lunar BD.
ya lunar BD also celebrate. i actually celebrate my BD for a week, plus
the lunar BD. like CNY we celebrate for 15 days,,, my BD is for a week.
good rite?
actually i was touched by my mom not becos she called to wish me
but becos we called, despite we had a fight just 3 days ago.
ya ya. my mom & i still fight.

today i was at sentosa's office. their reception really reminds me
of my bintan days. rustic, yellow walls, teak furniture. nice laid
back ambience.
k-- they had a pair of parrots
very cute, nice colour. especially its beak. looks like it is made
of wax. the male parrot is a stealer. he fights with his mate and
steals food from his mate's mouth. after she has done the hard
work of picking, and breaking and peeling off the shells.

****
k-- boring you already.

im going for a workshop tomorrow & sunday.
9-6 ... totally shut off from the world again.
you know, when you're in any workshop for full days or in conferences
for a few full days,...... the world passes you by without your part taking.
you come out of it a bit disoriented. well,,, at least i've always felt like
that.
