cheena intensive was finally OVER!

I learn quite many things during the past 4days. Yeah, another china teacher teaches us again. But her teaching not bad yo.

I was chatting with her this morning. She has a accent but she don't have the face that looks like she came from china. (NO OFFENCE!) Finally i asked her where she came from. I told her she don't look like she's from china just by her face. Then she asked how we see if a person is from china. We can't teach her how to see but just by looking at the face. But we can tell if a person is from china easily. So i told her if you stay in s'pore longer, you will know how to see.

I finally got my bloody expensive mechanical pencils. My extreme slim mechanical pencil that i have been using everyday died last week. I dig-ed my drawer and found another 2 mechanical pencil that i left at home was spoiled too. They are those unique kind. One with eraser behind and another one looks something like a pen. But there are too many copycats lah. That's why many people using it in school now. Better not say them copycats becos i copied my sis. :) Anyway, my heart was damn pain. Not becos of the price but i have feeling for them. I have been using them for 2 to 3years but now all died.

I headed to the popular and get all of them back home again. When i was searching i noticed most of the mechanical pencils or pens i have used before. That's means i changed my stationary frequently and wasted a lot money on stationary. But that was last time when i was in primary school and lower secondary. Whenever i think they (stationary) are too old i will go to the nearest bookshop and get a new one. NOW, i don't change them anymore unless it spoil. But still .. my pencil case got many expensive stationery. But i never ask my parents for money to buy stationary before. Perhaps, when i was younger? until about p2 or p3? I am that kind of person one short go popular buy worth SGD$20 stationary home. But i think it's worth it after all. Is just like making investment to produce good work. I can use my pencils for years and one Pentel liquid i can use for a year. But i always spoil my pens. I refused to wait for the liquid to dry. But i went home and burn the tip of the pen, making sure that it cannot be used anymore.

Like my mother always says " If you want that thing, use your own money and buy. "
