Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

[catz]

Hey sakurasan, sounds like you did manage to do quite a fair bit during your trip to SF

So not bad lah, inspite of a non-driving hubby. Must've been tough on you though... Yah I agree, Palace of Fine Arts was really nice. As for cheesecake factory, I die die need to eat there before I fly back!!!

She was my form teacher and I remember we send our monitors to check out who this new teacher is. ahah It was so hilarious when they came back to report. Ms Wong I remember her the A-Maths teacher, I flung most of my test and she was the one who encourage me to go on and I finally passed A-Maths in my Olevels hahaha thanks to her tution!!

Mrs Lim, Yah grace lim... Ms yap ms yap can't really remember her already.. hehe been too long.

[catz]

Alac, Ms Chan was super funky.. I still remember her condemning the use of 'hunk' to describe guys 'cos she always said 'a hunk is a chunk of meat'!

She was cute lah.. rather subversive for a teacher in PL though.. think she didn't quite fit in with the rest..

Sakurasan, yah man, cannot wait to go to San Diego this weekend and have my cheesecake factory fix.. not to mention my last chance for in-&-out cheeseburger.. ARRGGGHHHHH..

 

[pheb]

[alacrity]

[caratsoup]

Wow Catz you actually had Winnie Tan for your Eng teacher. Must be very stressful???
Ms Chan is very funny. I remember she said that our class was very stubborn and she described us 'That if she throw us against the wall, we will probably just bounce back" and also she used to threaten to punish us by hanging our eyelids on the ceiling fan. Haha!! I think she really made Literature interesting.

Hi Sakura-san,
I like Ms Yap too. She's quite entertaining and drama queen.

Alac,
Yeah, Ms Wong is very good at teaching us A Math. I remembered in Sec 3, we had a relief teacher (Skinny and Dark) to teach us A-Math and we really did very badly. I remembered for a particular test, many of us scored single digit out of 100 marks and a few scored zero. Ms wong is good and passionate about Math. Her explanation is very detailed and she's quite funny too. I remembered my friend and I often stayed back after school to ask her to coach us remedier (is this how you spell the word??)classes. Wonder how is she now?? Any news about her?

[starmed]

pheb n pitterpatter
can give me your email address? finally upload my shots on the net.. hee.. taken by our own camera.. so dun expect those "posed" pics like the pro...

 

[oraia]

starstar,

me too me too, can??!

[email protected]

 

[snipsnap]

starstar ...me 3 can?

[email protected]

pheb congrats on the wedding !!! I know what you mean about feeling depressed. Even vacation withdrawal caused me to be depressed for days hehe. I imagine wedding day withdrawal must be worst. oraia ..yah man ... its so much work preparing for the wedding but then you feel kinda sad when its all over. No wonder most brides love helping to plan other people's weddings haha. Can relive the moment!

anyway I've been MIA for a while since I was on vacation. Just signed up with Dang for my BS. Must recommend her lace cheongsams or full lace evening gowns! very exquisite. She charges $800 I think to make the EG alone. But I'm sure there's room for negotiation The WG for me is soso but no time to look some more lah hehe.

 

[pheb]

starstar...me at [email protected] looking forward to your pix!

hee...i was thinking of putting my montage online...but it's 300 mb leh lemme ask my designer wat can be done...then today he said he can help me make my pix into dvd with music if i scan all my pix in...think he still in the wedding mood lar

lemme see wat i have to share with you all hor...but gimme time...now i trying to plan for short getaway next week...you know at the thank you line...we were only half way thru when we decided that we should've hung a "We're not honeymooning yet" sign around our necks...so depressing...

snippy snappy...thanks thanks! it's real depressing...still feeling v lost at work...dunno where to start to pick up the pieces...hee...lemme know if you all need help k? i've got practical advice e.g. ask your coordinator where the food will appear at the ballroom i.e. where's the kitchen door. wat happened at mine was that we din realise our VIPs were near the kitchen door...so not very ideal seating location...aaargh!

 

[catz]

Caratsoup, yah.. it was horrendous having her for English.. only advantage was a lot of free lessons when she was away on duty

And guess what? When we got our O level results, she was the one giving the slips out to our class, not our form teacher. Was shaking in my pants leh...

I heard Ms Wong was really good..too bad I didn't get her

I think Ms Yap went off to head some huge choir thingie over at MOE

The other teacher I really remember (and the only one I'm in touch with) is Monica Lee. She was a fantastic Lit teacher but could be a little scary.. hehe..

 

[pitterpatter]

morning ladies!

sure, starstar!

u can get me at [email protected]

Catz you had winnie Tan.. yikes!! must be really stressful....

Yah I agree Ms wong is really very nice.. Ms Wong.. hum.. I think maybe we should go back PL and have a look... hehehe...

 

[peg76]

Keruri/circusbugs

[catz]

Yah Ms Chan very violent..

Really unconventional and that's why I think we liked her. She definitely wasn't strait-laced! Compared to WT.. hehe

I think go back to PL also no use leh.. all the teachers who taught me are not teaching there anymore.

 

[sakurasan]

Hi Catz

[catz]

Heyhey sakurasan, what's the age diff btw your husband and yourself? Mine is 6 years leh... I live very very near Downtown East.. you?

 

[snipsnap]

ahemmm testing..

 

[snipsnap]

arghk I wrote this whole post and then deleted..anyway Blush welcome back

*hugz* ... starstar just saw your pics. Must say you look gorgeous! No kidding! Love the gowns especially the strapless one. Your PS pics must be even nicer than the ones u showed us heehee. Though you don't look familiar leh but I guess we are not the same year or eca hehe

pitterpatter, me working in us..so vacation is where else but in singapore lah haha. looked at soo many BS's, albums and invitations in 2 weeks that I think I am all wedding'ed out! Anyway we picked july 2005 as the AD! I'm excited!

rokko, oraia> had my first fitting while i was there! got to see skeletons of my wg and eg. The wg was alright ..(think BV would have done a better job at the style I want ..but they were so uncompromising with time =p) ..really loved the EG! its a halter full lace cheongsam with train. I was in love!!!

) Must recommend Dang if any of you want to make a lace EG or CS. Very glam and not cheena.

oh yarh rokko, my friend used Wedding Papparazi she really liked them. I saw her video clips too ... very nicely done! Candid ...not too posed or drama. Am definitely considering them to do my wedding

Think it will be worth the money coz its something you get to keep! ... or at least that's how I justify it 0

did u get to see fabian's work too? I think he's in the same price range?

pheb ..must upload the pics when u have them ok!! *sigh* ...we're waiting anxiously here hehe

 

[starmed]

morning gals...

thanks for the compliments...

hee.. when my album is done up, I'll then show the pro ones to you gals...
