Cooking has turned out to be much more fun than before

We are all aware or subconciously aware deep in our mind that cooking is meant to happen in an area so called "Kitchen". The world is evolving into a better place for us to live in. It is evolving so quick that i didn't know when pple have already started to evolve this area into a kitchen.


The rice was boiling cook then.

Before Vs. After


Before



After

The change okay or not?

straight or curl?

Dont know what to do! I'm sian of my straight-hair look again! Yes, again! I had tried curling it up for twice before and they turned out alright but they didn't last long cuz my hair doesn't have much volume and it looks dead in the end. Some more, it's very damaging to curl hair cuz of the chemicals used on them. But then how ? Curl or not? New style or be the same for the rest of my life? =p It's a small thing but bothers my mind. Again, i think hair isn't a small matter. If it's then why would pple got cut it real short after break up to get rid of thousand tonnes weights off their shoulders? Important matter it is!

Just asked a friends and she think i shud ask my hair stylist for good curl hair style, good chemicals and good color to use on my hair. Very true. Just do it! Do a big CURL like the waves.... =_=" Hopefully will turn out good *cross fingers and toes*

feeling dry, giddy

I woke up this morning feeling okay but after a cup of Nescafe coffee (mild), i'm feeling dehydrated and giddy now. I feel like going back to sleep again but what?! I just woke up at 9. I was overslept this morning! I always feel like something is not right if i wake up late in the morning. Seems like the morning is half gone just like that. Argh...

My other half of mood is secretly screaming for joy cuz semester break starts next week. I do need a break. Seriously. Before i take up teaching task, I thought that this job can let me kill my free times easily. But, no..it kills my free time and also most of my brain cells. I, sincerely and seriously, think that teaching is NO easy like how i used to perceive it. I'd, SINCERELY, like to apologise for my naivety to all the respected teachers out there! By the end of this year, as soon as my contract ends, I will be quitting the job. I'm saying i'm not gifted to be teacher as i think real, quality teachers are all gifted to teach. I'm not one of them.

I took over 4 Grade 5 classes from a teacher who taught half way and left. It was a nightmare when i first started. Imagine every single thing was in a mess. You are a total newbie in this area. How do i mark this? Where are the missing library books that i'm responsible for? Who's who in the class? Where am i supposed to get the handouts for students? Arghhh...

Well, i'm all familiar with them now but i think it's time to move on soon. I admit that partly is because of the students test results. They hit me. I understand that i took over the job half way and i shudn't be expecting something too good to turn out but...i just dont want to look at red marks test papers.

I promised myself that this coming new semester, i will push ALL my 50 students to read MORE library books to improve cuz i realised that one out of my four classes read a lot more story books and they just did way better in composition writing and other vocabs than other 3 classes. I will push myself to do the best i can for the students and then leave behind my good name & reputation in the tuition school before i leave. kekeke..my resolution for the next half year!! =P

okay.back to marking.stop day dreaming.

Japan honeymoon trip

This is a backdated post of my honeymoon trip in Hokkaido, Japan towards the near-end of February for 7 days. Havent been doing anything about the post because the work of resizing the photos really took me a while plus i started my tuition teacher's post as soon as i got back from honeymoon.

It did take us almost one day (transit times inclusive) to start our journey from Kch to KL and from KL all the way to Japan's Narita Airport.


Stepped on the land of Japan! I've marked it!

Then, we had to get on a charter bus to find our way to JAL Domestic Flights, Haneda Airport to board on the domestic flight to Hokkaido's New Chitose Airport in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. I tell you. It's a long long way to get there. We ended so damn tired end of the day. Couldn't possibly we sleep in the airport after we landed in Hokkaido, right?


Almost there~almost there...land covered with snow and foggy some more.

It started to rain snow as soon as we stepped out from the sliding doors of the pitifully small airport. Okay! Laugh at me! I was so amazed with snow!!!


Told you already~it started to snow and became heavier later. Snowing gracefully.

Cuz never seen it before ma...I was like a little girl, reaching out my hands and let the snows fell onto my palms. I felt like it was a dream come true. At least, I get to see snow for once, if not a lot, in my entire life. Okay. Come back. We then got on a charter bus (it was our main transportation for the rest of the days in Hokkaido) and all of us fell asleep while the Mr. Bus Driver did the rest of the job. He didn't spare us any mercy at all. He brought us all the way to a well-known volcano tourist must-come spot to take priceless photos with active-volcano. It was an active volcano and the overflowed larva was just too smelly for anyone to get too close to the leg of the volcano. So, we took far-away-from-it photos. (couldn't find the photos in my folder..dont know where have they gone..paiseh)


Take this as replacement of the volcano photo la...

It was already evening and the sun had packed up and went off resting for the night. Our next stop was a traditional village and it had a story that i forgot how it went after I left the place. He he. To the villagers, eagle protects villagers in the village. The street was magnificently decorated with bulbs and ornaments while the old japanese songs could be heard from some old shops and souvenir shops located along the street. It had the feel man!


Hubby with the ice-carved tubes lit up with candles i think


I didn't lie. The eagle was there. I saw it myself.


Hubby and me of coz!

Without my knowledge at the time, our hotel for the night was just a walking distance away from this street. But no one was willing to take the stroll down the frozed path cuz even when we had our long johns, jumpers, jackets and gloves on, believe me, it was still freezing cold with the icy cold wind bracing our faces at night. Guess what? We hadnt have our dinner yet...T_T

It was time to go back hotel for a hot natural spring spa (open air some more O.O"), Japanese style dinner and a good night sleep to rejuvenate us for the activities next day. Dang dang dang dang....be prepared for the upcoming, first-ever cuteness overdosed Helen dressed up in Yukata (not Kimono, totally different costume).



Yukata..looks funnie on me..or i look funnie in it

LOL! thick face hor...but nevermind..this is my blog (like how all other bloggers say it with that tone..hohoho). This was meant to be worn before we enter the natural spring spa room so that everybody looks the same...was that so? I think it's more like they can be taken off easily. LOL. Btw, men and female spas were separated like what you see in the manga (exclude the monkeys la of coz). Anyway, adios! Off to enjoy the hot spring bath and our dinner~Weeehoooo


Japanese style buffet dinner! Mind you. We had salmon fish cooked in different ways each and every meal throughout our trip. The outcome: We did not ever go near salmon fish after the trip til today.
