Went for worship practice in the afternoon on sat. Before that i was doing the ppt for the presentation on Monday. SO when i went for practice my mind was heavy with the ppt. Kept yawning. Then half way through practice, my slippers spoilt! The strap dropped off. So Stanley volunteered to drive me home. So nice of him. Hah.

Sunday was the wedding anniversary of my parents. And my parents were leaving for Chiang Mai on a mission trip. So my father said to eat at the airport. (P.S. this is the first time my parents are celebrating their anniversary. To my knowledge at least.) Before leaving church my father said we could mayb go to the canteen or BK to eat. Which is stupid. U ask us to meet u specially at the airport just so to eat at e canteen?? And it's e anniversary! Men. Anyway, we ended eating ajisen ramen. Haha.

We left them waiting to check in while my sis, cousin n i went to the hse of another cousin of ours. Slacked ard, took some photos.. Watched Zorro. I miss the Zorro of the old. When he had a thin moustache and was super funny. I rmb my mum, sis n i will watch the shows every afternoon and laugh through the whole show. They were that funny. Altho the new Zorro movies are not that bad, i still miss the old Zorro shows. they were the best. I guess that's y they are called classics.

Then it was time for dinner! My cousin made pasta, and mashed potatoes. Very nice. Didn't know she could cook that well. Haha. After dinner, while the adults were eating, we kids played one "hand" of mahjong. Heh. After a while went home liao.

Stms, I feel i'm weird. Y are my other cousins closer and much more caring towards my grandmother than me? As in, i don't feel that link between us. Understand? I don't feel the urge to buy her things, to make her happy like my other cousins do. And it's not like things are the same with my other grandmother. If they were, i can simply assume that i'm unfeling towards the elderly. But no. I feel closer to my other grandmother. If i don't go down to her hse for long i would feel weird. But not so with this grandmother. Why??

Had lotsa fun during today's excursion! Haha, it's not a excursion, really. Just a field trip project. We went to geylang serai. Was real unsure of where to get down the bus, so we just stopped after seeing the sign "Geylang Serai". Haha. Ate at a hawker centre. We girls really ate a lot, the 3 of us ordered a plate of $4 beehoon goreng, and a big plate of indian rojak. Haha. And we finished everything! Then we started this super lame game of searching for things which are yellow and long. All because Calvin kept saying the goreng pisang we bought looked like siew mai. haha, so we came up with stuff like fishcake, bananas..

Along the way we kept taking photos, and we came to this malay village. It's sth like a museum thing, but it was rather isolated. After walking ard for a while this security guard came and asked us what we were doing there. At first i thought that he was going to run us off the premises, but he volunteered to tell us more abt geylang serai. Initally we thought we had run into sth good, we had sb to tell us abt geylang serai. But... it turned out that he just wanted to tell us his life story. Shan't say what he told us, there's too much, but believe me, 80% of the time, he didn't talk abt geylang serai, but abt his life. Finally, Calvin gathered his courage and told the uncle that we had to leave. Haha.

The boys and us went separate ways after that cos they had lessons, while we girls went to town, to visit the hotels. Took a cab there, and our first stop was Marina Mandarin! Went to the super cool toilet, and took some photos inside. Visited the pool, and it was nice! the nicest out of the 4 we went to. After that was Pan Pacific. The pool was quite normal, if i didn't rmb wrongly. After Pan Pac was Conrad. But Conrad was simple, esp the pool. It was just a rectangular thing. Haha. Then we went to Oriental. Corrin saw her ex-colleague, and brought us ard the hotel. The toilet was super shiok. While in the hotels we started this crazy notion of acting like tourists. So we started faking these accents and kept mixing up the British and American accents. So we were laughing the whole time we were there. And Denise kept telling us to refrain from attracting too much attention, but we kept laughing, so she kept telling us as we giggled through the hotels that we were supposed to not attract attention. Haha. Anyway, we spent too much energy laughing. By the time we finished Oriental we were dragging our feet alr. So we went to the Killiney's kopitiam in Marina to take a rest and have a drink. Discussed our project stuff too. Then we went to Swissotel Stamford. Wanted to visit the pool, but it was off limits so we took photos of the hallway instead. Funny how the pool is off limits to visitors, but the hotel rooms are open.

And we took photo with batman's car! Haha. That's even cooler than taking photo with batman. After that, Jiahong had to go off, and Denise went with her. Corrin wanted to pass time while waiting for her friend so i accompanied lo. Went to coffee club and slacked there till 4sth, almost 5 then we left. She went to meet her friend, i went home.

On Fri, went to sch at abt 12 to research on some things then went to town to meet mh and flo. Went to buy tickets and sat ard to wait for cc and candy. They were almost late, lucky they reached just on time. Oh ya, while waiting for them i saw Keigo. he hasn't collected his vodka from me after a mth... Haha.

The movie Just Like Heaven was good. Funny, touching. And i didn't cry! Not a tear! Cheng2 kept saying i did. chey! haha. Flo and mh went home after e movie. Cheng candy n i went to eat dinner at Phin's steakhse. The food's not bad. I like the big bread bowl. But i spent a lot! Shit. Need to curb my spending.

I went to watch Oliver Twist today! It was better than I expected, cos i actually thought it would be boring, cos it's a very classic story. But it turned out good! it was very engaging. The boy's soo cute. My kookoo cousin was late, so i went shopping at bras basah and got 3 books for $16! Great bargain! Haha. Also bought 2 CDs at cd-rama. A Hillsong one and the Jamie Cullum. Then i walked back to city hall to meet my cousin and went to cine. She was full of crap and nonsense as usual.

As i said, watch Oliver Twist at Cine. Shed some tears at some scenes, haha. It very nice! But as with all shows, there were a couple of times when i fed-up with the boy for not doing sth that is so obvious and by doing that, all that had happened wouldn't have. Right? Haha. Dunno. Anyway, went to eat our dinner after that. Kookoo cousin had difficulty deciding. Ate in e foodcourt in e end. Then we walked ard for a while and went home after that.

Do's and Don'ts of eating in a restaurant (Part 2)

1. Pls do not ignore notices with words of font size 72 that tell you to queue up somewhere, and then sit yourself at a table of your own choice.

2. Kiasu-ism may be a Singapore culture, but pls do not be so eager to show it in public by rushing to a booth seat when you are not in queue, or when the table is not cleared and the servers have to put down whatever they're doing so as to clear it for you.

3. If the above is ignored and you have seated yourself at a table of your choice, pls do not get upset if the servers don't bring you the menu. It's not easy to remember who has ordered and who has not. Although the customer is always right, who asked you to skip the first step when eating in a restaurant: Pls Wait To Be Seated?

Went for my one-day attachment at Subway today. Had lotsa fun! They let me help with the preparation of the vegs, and be the "architect". You know, the one putting the veg. But i cut the tomatoes till my upper arm is aching. And i was thinking it's cos of my heavy bag. Haha. Stupid, i know.

Met Jane after that at 12. And we went shopping! I saw a lot of stuff that i want to buy! A brown adidas jacket, a Nike sling bag, and a Nike dark purple corduroy tote bag. All expensive... Oh ya, and i saw another adidas jacket that I like.

It was great meeting Jane. Hadn't met her since before the hols.

I am watching "I am Sam" right now on ch5. And i'm crying buckets. Not all the time of course, but still. I'm crying at almost every scene. Lucky my mom's asleep and my sis' not home yet. Haha.

Does bias-ness exist between a group of friends?

Do's and Don'ts of eating in a restaurant

1. Be patient. Pls wait for somebody to bring you to your table.

2. Be polite. Don't ignore servers who smile at and greet you be walking past them and choosing a table by yourself.

3. Be satisfied with your seat. Don't get all grumpy and rude if told that the booth seats might not be available, and if you aren't able to get one during peak periods.

4. Pls do not take the water pitchers or menus yourself. What are the servers there for?

5. Pls do smile while saying thank you. It makes it so much more sincere, and the smile really makes a difference. If you think it's troublesome, a smile will do. But if that action of turning up the 2 corners of your mouth is too hard to do, then forget it.

I'm the class rep! I can't believe my luck, and i don't care if it's considered good or bad. I just know that it was a kookoo coincidence. My comm skills tutor, ms tirzah was looking for sb to help her collect money, and mayb she liked my name, so she picked me. And stupid me actually thought that she called me to be the cls rep. In fact, the cls thought so. The next day, when she was looking for the cls rep to do sth, i stupidly raised my hand and u know what she said? "Oh, you're the cls rep too?" Argh!! Haha, and that's how I inadvertently became the cls rep.

Anyway, went for the interview on Subway on Thurs afternoon. 10 students will be selected from 2 classes to work on a client-based project, where the client is Subway. I got in, by the way. But I'll be separated from Magaret...... Haha.

Friday..... went home after school, took a nap, then woke up to bathe and went to work. Not much there.

On Sat, went to the Shiseido workshop and grooming course. Went early to help out, but didn't do much la.. haha. The Shiseido workshop was really informative and fun. But the grooming course........... super sian! The speaker was so boring, she talks as if she has something in her mouth, and most of the time, the things she said didn't make sense. I saw a guy who looks like LeeHom. He was one of the helpers. Haha.

Sunday... got dragged to Bishan with Shannen. Haha, not really lah. Accompanied her to dye her hair. The smell of the bleach was so overpowering i didn't want to breathe. Haha. After more than an hr we went to eat Mos burger, then walked ard j8, tho there weren't much to see. Finally we went to shop in NTUC, haha, and spent a long time in there. After that, i went to my cousin's hse. Sat ard, watched tv, talked abt bo liao stuff, which is what we always do. Then ate dinner, then ice-cream, sat ard somemore, and we went home at 9sth.

Nth much happened on Monday and today. Just went to sch, and to work on Mon. Other than that... it was just 2 normal days...

Oh ya, i saw Eugene, my pri sch friend at raffles city distributing fliers for DBS. he was in this durian thing, and at first when i saw his back, i was thinking: This guy so poor thing. But he turned out to be Eugene! Haha. Such coincidence. He called me at night, and we chatted for a while. He kept pressing me to organize a cls outing. Which i kept rejecting, bcos i don't want to! Even thinking of a place to go to is a huge headache. And we actually wanted a chalet. But the boys are enlisting soon, some in Dec. So it wouldn't be nice if we did the thing without them. None of the days are fitting!! Who wants to volunteer to organize huh?

Went to Cheng's hse on Fri morning with Candy to play. Finally got all the photos we had been taking over the past few yrs from her. Haha. Played till 3sth, then went for tuition.

Saturday, went for my last tuiton with my kid. 'Cos she's having her holidays, so will continue next yr. After tuition, took a cab down to church. But it turned out that practice was cancelled and nobody informed me..... Anyway, i then went down to Hougang mall to buy stuff for my mum cos she's making cheesecake n brownie! haha, anyway, met my sis on e bus home, so gave her some of the things to carry. Super heavy lo.

Sunday, went to church then to work. Not much happened la. But elvi was crazy that night. She supposedly got off work at 5, but because my manager n asst manager were doing the appraisal thing, she stayed behind to help. After work, she drank a bottle of beer, and went for a smoke. When she came back, she started acting crazy. Really. She was talking loudly, laughing at every single thing, asking real loudly for iced rambutan. Haha. After work, they went to Jason's hse to play. I went home.

On Monday, i went to school for my first day of sch! Haha, it was a one hr lect. AFter the lect corrin n I went to mensa to eat, then we bought food for those ppl at CC. Haha. Reached there at abt 1, and we sat there till 6sth waiting for elvi n jason to finish work n go for dinner. Somehow we managed to go through that 5 or more hrs, and finally went for dinner at Bugis. Couldn't decide what to do after dinner, so we walked ard, sat ard, finally settling down at Mac's. Hah. Chit-chatted and played some biting game till 9sth when we went home, except elvi. She met her friends and so stayed behind with them.

Tues, Corrin decided not to go for lect. I met laykuan to go cos she's having the same lecture. The lecture lasted only for 45mins, so it ended at 1245 instead of 1400. kookoo right. And i still had to wait for liz to end sch at 3. Then accompanied laykuan's friend to apply for a cds. That took abt an hr. Went to the lib after that to pass time, then met liz at 3. went to the new canteen in ITAS. Not bad la, got air-con, food's not that ex. Liz n I went to town, bought tics at Lido to sky high, then walked to OG cos i had to help my mum buy some pots. After buying them went to shop at DP. Haha, i bought a top, liz bought a jacket.

Then we met diyana n her bf, lee at heeren to walk to lido. Bought nachos, then went into the theatre. The show's not bad, quite funny. And there was this guy in the show, not the male lead, but he's really cute. And hot. He's like the younger n more handsome version of Antonio Banderas. You know, Zorro? Very chiselled and strong features. Anyway, the show's quite typical, in that the lead's a cute-in-a-geeky sort of way, and he has a childhood playmate who's in love with him but he doesn't see it and has a crush on sb else. That's the love story part. And the superhero part...... itz again quite typical with it's heartwarming, and teenage hero - with the help of friends - to the rescue kinda ending. But of cos, it's expected, and nobody would have it any other way. So, all in all, it was funny, and it was worth the money. Go catch it!

ANyway, i have two new movies that i wanna watch. One is Oliver Twist, which i think most of my friends would think is boring, and Zathura, which is a space-age version on Jumanji.

After the movie, we went home.

On Wednesday, which is today, i went for the first pedicure in my life. Haha. No doubt it's only an express pedicure, it's still a new experience. Haha. It was nice, to be pampered like that. Now i know why so many women like to go for manicures n pedicures. Like tai-tai sia..... haha. Spent the day with Corrin in TM and century sq. Ate lunch at BK, then walked ard isetan, then went for pedicure. Walked aimlessly ard Century sq and TM, then we went to the foodcourt in TM, ate dessert. The man at the counter started making some funny shapes with the shaved ice, and it turned out to be a snow man of some sort! Haha. But it really was interesting. Shows how ppl can come up with creative things using such simple pdts. Went home after that, cos we had nowhere else to go.

I'm so tired!! Both my ankles, my heels, my thighs and my shoulders are aching. I need a full body massage! But I've never liked being massaged before.. The thing is, me feet haven't felt so badly since i changed my working shoes. Haha. Okay, shan't talk about my tiredness now. Start updating from Sunday.

Okay, the highlight of last Sunday is : How does a girl of merely 6 yrs get to be so cunning, so full of tricks and basically so naughty and unlovable? Really. I love kids. Esp the young ones, before they get so corrupted by the world and lose their innocence. But my niece is really... Her favourite trick to get her way is to pretend to cry when we refuse her certain things. Then when we give in to her she'll start smiling immediately and start her games all over again. Worse when the adults are ard. If the adults like tell us to stop, or give in to her, she'll give us that smug face that i didn't think a child would know how to give. I don't know la. I just wonder why a kid can be so unlovable. She's only 6!

Anyway, i had fun on Sun despite my niece. Went to this party world in Orchard. Not the one in the singtel building k. Ulu ulu one. My much elder cousin(he's like 32), has a very good voice. His rendition of the Lin Zhi Xuan's song was great. Like a CD record. Then my other elder cousin does a very good imitation of ah du. Okay, i knowevery single guy out there has done one of ah du before. But my cousin's really good. Serious! We kept laughing and giggling while he was singing cos it was so alike. After he sang the first ah du song, he couldn't stop having that "sore throat" thing in his voice. Haha.

After singing, we went to my grandma's hse. It's a 2-room flat. So with almost 20 ppl squeezing in the living room, it was bursting at the seams. And it was super hot. My cousins n i went down to buy ice cream. Haha. At abt 8sth, we went home.

From Monday on, i started my marathon of walking. Worked from 12nn to 10pm on Monday. Then on tues, i met Candy n cc and went shopping, which of cos included walking. Then on Wed i worked 12-10 again. And on Thurs morning, juz as i was anticipating going home in the evening at 5, my colleauge called to say that she couldn't work that day, and so my hrs got extended to 8. Which meant that, i would be working 10hrs, excluding my breaks. Great. By 5 in the evening, i was dragging my feet ard CC. I'm sure the customers could see that i was tired. Haha. And so coincidentally, my branch manager came n made a nuisance of herself. I don't mind if she comes to check things out. What makes me pissed off at her is that she's always asking us to do things that she herself can do. So what if she's the manager? You mean u can't send a bill to the customer? Aiya, dunno la. Pek chek. Mayb it's partly bcos i was so tired n she kept asking me to do stuff.

OKay, so that's what i did for the past few days. Continuous walking. I can't tell u the hrs i spent on my feet. I know i'm whining, but just let me satisfy myself.

I'm done!
