finally, my router is working again.

Erm... technically speaking, it's philemon's router. Somehow I always manage to 'steal' & keep his stuff like the super aged nintendo black box like decades ago.

Poor kid. Being my cousin ain't that good anyhow.

anyway, thanks to my dear Uncle Sam who ever so is DA man :)

sometimes I feel that i do not give him enough credit & i felt bad enough I have been neglecting him since I started work.

Out of boredom a few minutes ago, I decided to google my name & realised my full name is not that common afterall.

It's a pretty narcissistic move to title my blog add after my name. Either that, I'm so uncreative.

But then again, it's a possible brand name in future.

Just look at Armani, Ralph Lauren, Elizabeth Arden... who knows one day Aileen Yeo splashes across the streets of.... .... ... FOOD haven. *grin*

Headed to the dentist this afternoon & burnt a big hole in my pocket.

Seriously, I hate dentists.

They are just like daylight robbers decked in smart wear who are gentle Misters.

Forget the part where they constantly ask if it hurts, assure you it's not that painful or give an encouraging nod when you survive a drill.

They are absolute EVIL.

My 45 min visit, and a few drills and pokes, cost me S$255 and I don't even earn that much in 2 days!

Well, blame it on the fact that I skipped dental check ups ever since Ugly Betty days were over..

but... still!!!

So if you want big bucks, study till you look like a panda and be one mean, pocket digger who works with drills. *sob*

After weeks of non-blogging nights, I had the compulsion to continue even though the clock reads 1.12am.

Nope. I didn't jump and seclude myself like I said I would in my previous post.

But, when you start getting busy, it's just impossible to come home with the energy to go online.

I told my tutees, I love to see them because I suck their youthful energy to keep myself alive. MUAHAHHAHA...

Anyway, I had a delightful and nostalgic moment last night.

Jess showed me the year book and I couldn't help but flipped to the Sec 1s pic.

I missed the kids :)

Hazim looked as puny and cute... Zu looked extremely enthusiastic, ready to jump out of the pic..

Chua Jeng stole attention from the candid shot taken while 03 was at the leadership training stuff... Edlyn & Khoo ee looked so pretty in their dance pose...

Urgh.. so many to name...

Couldn't flip too long cuz Jess thought I was laughing at her face when she caught my silly grin...

I can't believe Rodericks msged to tell me he got 2nd in class the recent English CA, thanks to me. Silly boy... I didn't do anything!

Awww...

Thanks to Brian who paid for our tickets, I attended Laugh and Learn organised by 938 Live.

Inspiring speakers they've got there and all had the same theme in their little talks.

Passion.

In whatever you do.

Really.. how true is that. But how many live a life of passion?

Other than passion of lust, crimes of passion... oh well..

Being contented yet moving towards your goal. What irony, but I think it's relevant.

It doesn't matter if your friends have richer parents, bigger houses, posher cars.. what matters most is what joy do you find in your own possession?

The grass is NOT always greener on the other side.

i call people who envy the other side - GIRAFFEs.

and when they become one, they miss out on the cute little joys that are microscopically hopping around in their own field.

Oh, too much rattling at a time like this. Must be some midnight crap.
