* Twilight.?

aaahhhhh.! im restless.!

parents plus brothers have evolved into couch potatoes today- streaming thru the whole series of Reaper. the norm of me to rise at noon equates to missing the first half of the series, boo.! so joining the company then will only surround myself with big fat question marks. saddd.!

not that im intrinsically interested in the show to begin with, but least it serves its purpose of killing time.? haha.
so aye and mar, any objections to Reaper for our pending marathon.? or yes, aye can always do the supplies. hahaha.


goshh. there's dozen of events pending, half of them have yet to progress beyond planning stage- and im beginning to lose the excitement. haha. okay, zips.!


niway, thurs.! got the car out with my whole family to ssdc. herrr, whyyy.? cos i dint expect to pass my TP test on weds- so i wasnt prepared with 50bucks and a passport-sized photo.! haha. so yada yada, armed wiith my temporary licence slip, was forced to drive us home.

but nooo. darling beloved daddy, just to get me a feel of highway roads, made me drive the whole family allll the way down to NTU. just so i'l know how to get there myself next time.? haha.! parked at the canteen, and then.? off again we went- this time home.

i'm sorry for wasting petrol. haha.!


AND i realised. particularly to my fb darlings- those of you passing auto car test on first attempt, you've NO rights ridiculing manual car learners who've yet to get their licence.
cos AUTO CAR is SO DARN EASY to DRIVE PLEASE.! significantly easier okay.! hahaha.

why the revelation.? cos i've struggled for a manual licence but drove an auto upon passing. so next time we go into another feud- yuni/naz.? i'l help shut our goalie up. sorry sya.! hahaha.


and yes. after lunch, drove around to get some errands done then- we went johor.! just daddy, abgdir, aimah and me- daddy's the sneaky one.! for smuggling our passports out of the house without mummy (or the two lil monyets) knowing.! even we dint know please.! hahaha, niceee.

ouwh, abgDir took over before the checkpoint, of course. johor roads are, scary.? heh.

highlight of the day, we watched TWILIGHT.! choice of movie, mainly credits to abgDir. i've zero appeal for vampires, but the movie was overall satisfying- justtt meeting the super-high-expectation tat tagged along skeptical me.
nana dear, i'll consider reading the book next ey.? consider.! haha.!


okie dokie.! i've to send my beloved parents to the hospital.! visit a relative. wait, which road to take.?

it's horid to know you can drive but not know HOW to drive there. hahaha.
muni's stupid sense of direction nt helping either.!


i'll learn, in time. insyallah. i'm just glad the whole traumatic experience is over. and that my parents are still farrr more excited than i am.? hahaha. love them please.

my best wishes to my darlings for their next test. =)))


life's pretty,
alhamdulillah syukur. =)))))


Much Love,
*Muniii.!

* farewell ssdc.!

why havnt i been updating.?!
BAD MUNI, BAD.! haha.

ouwh. i've read three books in the week, one more pending,
final theory text excluding. there you go, updates.! =))

okay. im feeling accomplished for the year '08, ready to welcome '09.
but i'l yada-yada when it's not justtt 27th november- there's stil a december, you nut.! haha.


so bio module exams concluded last monday, dictating the end of a gorgeous semester.
alhamdulillah syukur.! =)))

and we received ALK101 component grades,
which i expect averaging an overall B since email test was completed without a sense of satisfaction.
kudos to darling farhana for half-delivering the A for our podcast, that's right.! haha. and i swear my OP was ridiculous, yet somehow managed a B- not bad for exceeding 2mins.! haha.
alhamdulillah syukur. =))

driving lessons resume in the midst of AAB101 and 102, wasting yet enough money. and yet again, i've been thrown into yet another emotional rollercoaster.

4.30pm 26th Nov'08.

well, for all that was worth- i've gotten myself a driver's licence,
alhamdulillah syukur.! =))))))))))

much thanks to dear friends for all the encouragement, i am truly touched.
and darling Aimah, for being a constant companion. =))


from being the reason to it's beginning,
right down to the final "not very good uh, but i pass you..."

here's to you two beloved Mum and Dad,
with much, much, much. much much love.
*hugs&kisses*


without a doubt,
alhamdulillah syukur,
segala puji bagiMu, ya Allah.



All Smiles,
*Muniii. =)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


PS: credit the lack of enthusiasm for my fatigue self. i have honestly been filled with the much awaited euphoria today, hee. alhamdulillah. =))

* my special kids,

all smiles! =)))

(guess what.! ai'raya pics still missing frm hantu, boo.! so today's photo updates shall come first. not course i've the whole set, but cos i'm still feeling tinges of excitement, haha!)


TODAY had been the mosttt exhausting day i've had in months.! plus ultra fulfilling.!
My Group Endeavour in Service Learning (GESL) module (or rather, component) has finally concluded. yayy! the main event at least- reflections presentations nitty-gritties comes next year.

and so after months of proposals, meetings, preparations- from flag-makings to goody bags packing...

Inspirators' GESL Olympics at Chao Yang School!

(ouwh. this is on top of last week's flag-making/orientation session with the special kids. whichhh i missed, haha. )


ASPN Chao Yang School, YioChuKang
07 November 2008, 0830am-1245am. (and 1hr before/after)


* meet the kids.! a mix frm level 4 to 6. we were actually nervous about facilitating our groups!

the stereotype society dawn upon them is mean, sadly myself not excluded. but i realised today, they function (and some, even look!) as normal as any ten-year-olds.!
maybe they're just special in their own ways, =))


+
* ASEAN countries flags the kids pieced together last week.! we made it puzzle style, super costly please! haha. and the yet-to-warm-up faces of facilitators, hahaha.



* station games! now squint.! that's my too-warmed-up face. hahaha.

i still wonder whyyy we were in black. haha. but all was FUN.! =)))



* anddd, meet my Team Vietnam.! they're gorgeous pleaseeee.! they may look small and harmless, but ouwhhh we will rock you.!! hahaha.

we expected 25 per group, but i only had ten level4 more special kids. super hyper they are, like super super enthusiastic and fun. constantly fired up to cheer and perform on stage.! (okay, maybe some needed extra persuasion. haha.)

but point is. Team Vietnam? they're champions even without my help. =)

"teacher teacher can do up there? *points to stage* we (ideas) then (more ideas) and (more moree ideas) and.... can can can?"

and so Team Vietnam started the trend of performing on stage today, haha!
i swear it wasnt my idea!

and Team Vietnam won at 3/4 stations.! and even at the station Team Vietnam lost, Team Vietnam still managed equal points for sucha 'fierce' macho clap. hahahaha.

and realise how im using Team Vietnam excessively? to illustrate how extremely patriotic they are! like, superrr patriotic to the flag! we couldnt find our flag at one moment, and they smangat-ly went on a Search and Rescue mission! as if they've let their country down! hahaha.

ADORABLE PLEASE.!

my other facilitators taped up a smaller flag on an extra board as replacement, pretending we found the flag alrdy, to avoid disappointment. buttt, should have seen their faces when they saw us finding the original flag! i cant describe. haha. adorable please.!!

muni, please stop typing about your special kids. cut short!

ouwh. Team Vietnam won 1st prize for Chao Yang Olympics'08.
HAHAHA. WHEE.!! =)))
proud of you, Vietnams! you sure did rock them yeah! (we will rock you, their fav cheer. haha)


okay one last story can.! getting 1st place means getting the presents and goodie bags last, right? but they were heartbroken please!
"teacher, why we still never get!"
"teacher, we never win ah?"
"teacher.!! the presents finish already!!! see! see! see.! why we never get.!!"

and when it was announced, "now the Top 3 prizes. 3rd place goes to..."
they went "VIETNAM VIETNAM VIETNAM!" cos they dont understand (last = 1st). hahaha.

ADORABLE PLEASE.



* INSPIRATORS LOVE.! =)))
