To 4T2 students ...

It's has come to an end of Design and Technology Coursework for 4NT students on 12August.

There are moments of us wanting to give up;

moments of frustration, heartache and panic on the parts (of artefacts) were broken at the 11th hour;

moments of joy, 200% satisfaction and relief when you've finished the artefact before/on 12August.

and of course not to forget the sweat and the dust that were filled in the workshop. And the smell followed you all the way till you reached home! : )

It has been a challenging 8 mths for all of us, including me.

There're times that I couldn't think of what to do next and worry deep inside me and many sleepless nights, especially on every Wednesday and Thursday nights. Few strands of white hair would grow every year and blood pressure would shoot up occassionally.

Finally, half of the battle is over; the other half is going to be held on 9 October, 2008 - the N level D&T theory paper.

Wishing you all the best in your N level Exam and in your future endeavours.

Now, let's walk down our memory lane and present to you, the 4T2 D&T Coursework. (Kelvin, Raimy and Weishen were not in the photos.)

*btw, for some strange reasons, we looked rather distorted in the photos. In real life, we are pretty and handsome to the max. *

After upload onto flickr/friendster, the photos are being compressed and not as sharp as the originals. If you want the original ones, look for me.

Spring cleaning!

Finally I've re-organized my wardrobes. It's like an machine undergoing a major overhaul.

Few heaps of clothes have been sleeping on top of my mini wardrobe for at least 2 weeks... Thank God my mother - in - law has not made any noise... But she thought i'm selling my clothes online as I slowly took out the clothes bit by bit from the wardrobe! ;p (anyway who will buy my clothes?)

I looked at the piles of clothes that I had... Seriously, I don't know how to start. Humph! Perhaps I should re-categorize! Now the time is 6pm

230820081754
Pants for working

230820081752
Jumper .... and a black top

230820081751
Long sleeves for Nov's Japan trip ... I really plan ahead!

my collection of magazines. There're some more ...
And some of my private collections :)

Where should I hang the long dresses?

230820081758
Oh mine ... 2 more on the ironing board...

Picture3
So messy!!!

230820081756
Now finally is (deceivingly) more organized

230820081760
Ops... Still have not touched the big wardrobe ... =.=

230820081763
It's obvious that my husband doesn't do so much shopping.

230820081762
Aiyo... still have the bottom part of the wardrobe ... >.< 230820081764


230820081761
Say hi to my husband's childhood's furry toy (top right hand corner of the wardrobe)

Oh dear... few more on the bed ... "."||

230820081767
Few of my fav. Tees ...

230820081765
Tops / dress

230820081766
2 of my fav. dresses

After close to 3 hours of organizing and still going on, I have discovered the followings:

- I LOVE shopping
- I've only organized those clothes that are obvious to me. But i've YET to organise those that were hidden in the wardrobe...
- I love bright colour clothings
- I love clothes with bold prints (flowers / graphics/ lines/ boxes)
- Most of my clothes are from Zara ('cos easy to find my size! ;p)
- I love clothes that are made in silk (I'm lovin' it!)
- I've more dresses than pants (i'm still a girly person ya!)
- I'm a bigger girl now... literally
- I love tops that are long and can be doubled up as a dress!
- I used to like Forever 21 but no longer.
- I USED to be a sporty person who went to gym with track pants. Now, wear FBT shorts... not for jogging but only wear them in the house. :/
- If Zara starts a memebership card, I'm sure I qualify for the whatever requirements they set.
- I kind of like Bohemian style. :D
- I dislike Polo - Tee 'cos it will make me look fat! ;p


Most importantly, I have discovered this...

Size VS Stress

100820081537 100820081540

(L): Beef noodle at Marine Parade Hawker Center
(R): you can pick some crispy peanuts to go along.

Seriously delicious! Last week, suddenly I wanted to go Marine Parade. So, finally I got to try this beef noodle. The verdict is : beef is tender. Superb! Here is a macro view ...

100820081538
*Slurp* And is only $4!

Where is this beef noodle stall? Here you are!

100820081543
There's always a queue outside this stall. There's only 1 person cooking, taking your order and money!

After having beef noodle last week in Marine Parade, I've decided to go South today. what should I eat??? I was really hungry this afternoon... Then I saw Swensons. This word caught my attention - Salad!

At the back of my mind, this voice ringing in my head ..."Siao! Go Swensons and pay $11.9 to eat salad?! Then why not buy $11.9 worth of vege + fruits from NTUC and throw all ingredients inside?"


But I were so hungry until I couldnt think anymore. I saw the waitor and without hesitation, I said "Table for one, please." Nothing in this world is worse than "gru gru gur" in your stomach!

I've 4 plates of salad!!! Wahahahah!!! Must make my $11.90 (exclusive of GST and service charge) worthwhile ya! : )

160820081555
My 2nd plate of salad at Swensons.

160820081557
My 4th plate... Vege, watermelon, gimchi (yes! There's gimchi at the Salad bar! Amazing!), potato chips started to swim in my stomach .... Ok... enough..

Suddenly, I felt very healthy after consumed 4 plates of salad. :) : ) : ) : )

I realised I have ate out more than usual. Ever since the beginning of this year, I felt stressed al
Ever since the beginning of this year, I felt stressed all the way till now.

Work is killing me. Work keeps flooding in and my desk is flooded with papers, books, files, stationery, forms, claims, acrylic rods, Jelutong pieces, some no-longer-functioning LEDs... Finally DnT courework submission has come to an end. The past 7+months were indeed tormenting to me and my students.

Honestly, DnT is a difficult subject. It requires us to THINK and DRAW out the thinking processes. Sometimes I am also stuck in the thinking process, so are my students. They can't draw or think and yet the requirements of DnT Courework are to DRAW and must THINK of solutions! Really killing them and in the end, the teacher (me) also felt completely burnt out after the 7+mths.

Battery goes flat.

So that explains why I've so many photos on FOOD! When stress level goes up, so does my size....

Now my husband came back home with 3 BOXES of food! The food was prepared by his clients.

When I opened the box, I was stunned to see these ...

160820081561
Homemade cheese cake topped with 1 generous slice of mango + 1 strawberry.

The macro view ...
160820081564
Such a THICK LAYER OF CHEESE (fat)!!! Oooooooooh!

160820081565
Chocolate cake!

I don't have the habit of eating super, however, the sight of those cakes is just so tempting!

I shall eat a bit... : )
