TM NET go to hell for its unstable connection! had finished typing a very long entry and clicked on the `save' button until i realised that my connection was cut again. grr... too lazy, too tired and too angry to re-type...
i'v bought a UPU form from BSN. but according to one of my friends who'v called up UPU, SPM 2004 leavers should apply ONLINE but not via the conventional method- sending forms to UPU. This is really confusing 'cause according to the MOE website, both methods are accepted. the problem is, STPM leavers have their personal particulars posted online to MOE's database by their school admins but i'm sure that SPM leavers don't have that. Those who apply by sending forms conventionally have to send a copy of thier school-leaving cert. But what about those who apply online? How would UPU know whether the info in the online form are true or not ('cause our personal particulars aren't in the MOE's database)? Should I apply online or should I not? Please help.Author: eunice@ecinue~copied from - Worldwide Malaysian Student Network: Forums

Happy Rooster Year
(edited my previous entry)lost my voice for a week... recovering gradually now... my students laughed at me,`haha.. how come you sound like a man?" -.-" had been using hand-signs and other methods whenever my students couldn't hear me -.-got my 1st pay on 3rd of feb. got an increase of $50 in my salary to $650! however, got only $608 this month 'cause my stingy boss deducted $42 as i didn't work on 1st and 2nd of jan... hell, we only work on schooldays what... moreover, i'm getting salary, not wage! i should be fully paid what!yesterday morning, my boss, his wife and his elder brother came to our tuition centre.. we thought they were coming to give us red packets... in the end, cheng siu got sacked and wan yea was told to work for only 2 shifts (she's working on 3 shifts apparently) after CNY... everyone knew cheng siu's the most hardwoking tutor among us; she has been working over-time without extra pay for almost everyday while others dismiss their classes on-time... *sighas long as my boss or/and his family members (who are running the tuition centre together with him) dislikes somebody, they'll pick you in whatever you do, no matter how hardworking you are... to them, money means everything!i've been getting closer and closer to twin-sisters wen xin and wen shi recently... whenever they're passing by my house, they'll offer to give me a lift, whether to work or back home.. how nice :) we'd gone to the post-office near my house to pay utility bills for three times but only got them paid at the third time 'cause it wasn't open on our first two attempt...my job's a very tiring and boring one except for my nice colleagues (most of them are 3 years older than me) :)by the way, i have a 8-day break from 6-13 february. hope my boss won't cut my salary this month..
Happy Chinese New Year!

My Birthday - 22 Jan
22 Janwoke up kinda early today 'cause i'd to work on morning shift... blew my top at a boy of primary 3, who's famous among we tutors for his playfulness + stupidity + laziness, etc.. we, especially wen xin and i who are teaching him, hate him a lot as he always gives us a lot of trouble... one have to be very patient and cool to be his tutor... sadly, i've not been able to tolerate his behaviour... luckily, i only have to teach him on saturdays, compared to poor wen xin who's teaching him 5 days a week :Pbesides, i've another terrible student, who happens to be the only female student of mine... (i think i'v mentioned about this girl in one of my previous posts) she's quite intelligent, compared to that boy mentioned above, but she's naughtier and more playful than him. recently, she has picked up a habit of stretching out her legs to make her classmates fall... we tutors are given the right to cane students on their palms. however, this particular girl seems to know that we can only cane them on their palms. so, whenever i wanted to cane her, she'd just hide her hands behind her and i'd no other choice but to just shout at her... *sighafter class, one of my colleagues, wen shi secretly put a greeting card into my sling bag... wow, thanks for remembering my birthdate!went to minyak beku and had steamboat with my family, my youngest uncle's family and my paternal grandparents... i was so lucky to scoop up a dead housefly from the boat! met kwee shien and her family there too..invited some friends to a cafe in bkt pasir... some of them took the trouble to come after a long day of work... thanks ya!
23 Janwent for kuliah this morning and had my first experience of driving! haha... the kuliah was not at all informative... it was full of jokes... we were told to be responsible or rather berhemah drivers though... a guy asked me for my contact number but i politely refused.. haha.. well, i really didn't know him!was too nervous when i was learning to control the clutch and... you bet! ...got scolded by the tutor...
24 Janmy colleagues: wan yea, ching siu, swee fung and cute twin sisters wen xin and wen shi bought a cheese cake for me... they wanted to buy one for me on my birthday last saturday but i was rushing home then. wow... i'm so touched... thanks!
29 Janhmm.. luckily that naughty boy didn't give me much trouble today.. wen xin and wen shi brought a pot of green beans soup... it's really nice 'cause i'd sore throat... we devoured this cooling soup after work and chatted about kids at the tuition centre... haha, as all of us are female, we were chatting like those aunties :P after that, we went to a boutique next door to look at some new-arrive clothes... at the end, none of us bought any of them 'cause they were all too expensive!
30 Janam sick today... have sore throat and slight fever... found out that wen xin and wen shi are hakkas... (edited on 6th of feb)

the subscription of my norton antivirus 2003 professional edition has expired. it's NOT FREE for a renewal, that means i've to pay for it... *sighfree antivirus software (preferably downloadable ones), anyone? thanks.
deleted kazaa after downloading ares. heard from one of my friends that kazaa's full of bugs.. well, with a super-slow 56K dial-up connection, the downloading speed's real slow..
am still searching for scholarships and meddicine related but corpse-free courses... heard from hui yin who's now doing her a-levels that pharmacy students won't have to handle corpse. hurray!
found some beautiful movable'>http://not-that-ugly.co.uk/index.php?cat=4">movable templates but have some errors in rebuilding my templates...

New Bloggers
found out that yeen/'>http://yeenshuang.blogspot.com">Yeen Shuang and shing/'>http://shingcheng.blogdrive.com">Shing Cheng has become bloggers too.. kampate!!have been working for 2 weeks.. tired of acting fierce in front of my students (primary 3-5).. couldn't blame them, it's my duty to teach them what... moreover, they wouldn't be sent to tuition classes if they're obedient kids who would automatically do their homework.. well, that's life of being a tutor..there's this primary 3 boy who's strong (actually a fatty) but wouldn't carry his school bag on his own, just because he has a maid! some kids today are really fortunate, but i don't envy them 'cause i can do these simple things on my own.. well, i consider them as handicaps (no offence).i'm teaching 2 P4 boys and 2 P5 boys in the afternoon, 5 boys and a girl of P3 at night. that means, i've only one female student! and she's the naughtiest student out of the 10 students of mine! well, i think the reason for this could be that she's studying in a formerly all-boys school- cheng siu...we had a meeting last saturday after work.. our boss who's the marketing manager of a supermarket in my town told us lots of his stories which bored us to death! my stomach was grumbling but i had to keep nodding my head and pay attention to his granpa's stories... he told us to be serious and dedicated at work although this job's a temporary one to us; all of us are either waiting for the release of SPM or STPM results. he even asked us to write a report everyday!visitted my secondary school last week.. met some teachers.. my biology teacher, cik faridah told me pharmacy's a very boring course and recommended genetic engineering.. well, as far as i know, genetic engineers have to handle corpse or rather body samples and extract DNAs from them or involve in agricultural sectors, which is more boring to me. she told me that one of her friends who is an ecologist, works as a consultant and earns a lot. but according to my dad, it's very stressful working in a coorporate. my aim is to get a job with light workload and not high-demanding. i want to have plenty of time to take care of my family, especially my children. i want to coach them in their studies on my own and not sending them to tuition centres like the one i'm working now.. sounds like i'm an old lady huh? lol.. well, that's me *wink*
