Today is the last day of 2007. I hope my date with Dear tonight goes well and not end up like Christmas when we had quite an episode of argument.
I managed to secure a job that supposedly will last all the way till May (not sure if the last day of work is on last day of April of last day of May), it was more like a we-will-see-how-things-go assignment. Looks good in terms of their willingness to help me to learn more, hope everything goes well.
I wish that 2008 will be a year I can finally put an end to my floating status in terms of job. Hopefully I will get accepted by somewhere somehow and start my contribution to some industry and stay there for the next couple of year and if I like it stay on forever.
May 2008 be a good year for all!

Fruitful Final week of 2007
I would say I have a rather fruitful final week that ends 2007, though I didn't quite manage to make realy really full use of it, owing to the plain excuse---"lazy".
Wednesday I had planned to do the MPM books review so as to complete the full training before I can do certification. But in the end I cancelled it as I could not make it in time to last 3 hours or more and I find the long trip to ubi rather wastefulif I catch them at their office for the final hour before they close. Job offers came to me through the day, I had three in all, as I have blogged about previously.
Thursday, I went to relief a CCA instructor for 3.5hours at S$50 (out of confidentiality I shall not disclose the school), that's pretty good money! In the afternoon, I went for an interview, which turn out that the relief teaching position is only for a month (although they said "if" it's only one month would I mind the length), a little disappointed. Back home, got an email from another of the 3 offers from wednesday that I need to complete a trial assignment and bring it for interview on monday. It is too difficult to manage and the office is in ubi, very near the MPM taining centre. I am feeling like giving that up.
Friday,which is today, I went to relief the CCA again. Taught a cello girl who is in primary two and playing the miniature version of the Cello. Still, the instrument is overwhelming to her. After the half-time break, the better half of the students were to join the main orchestra for combined while leaving me to have more time to coach the weaker ones. Children being children are so easy to psycho. I taught them a way to make use of time efficiently and make use of time on their bus journey to practise their rolls (which children at the tender age should be able to do it very very well compared to us adults who have to struggle even to move our joints), and I told them that's a secret method that I only tell the 2 of them and too bad for those who are picked by the conductor to join him downstairs. The two kids smiled gleefully. Isn't that cute?

First Christmas present from Dear
Today, Dear and I met up to exchange our christmas gifts. I bought him Jimi's (the Turn Left Turn Right author) Shiny and Moony, which is about two kids in love. He bought me a set of earrings with necklace and pendant matched. So pretty!~ "Crytallised with Swarovski crystals" it says on the box. It's a Paris Bijoux that comes with lifetime guarantee for the crystals.
Also passed to dear the little cute souvenir I bought in Vietnam for his sister, a little kiddish, but something in me tells me she will love it. True enough, I SMSed him to ask about her response and he said she loved it and kept playing with it so much that he thinks that little thing will soon be damaged in a few days. Here's how it looks like with wings made of feather and it kind of flutters around when you give it a light shake:
