End of recess week

It's so fast. One week is gone. What have I done? Studied a little, went out a lot, stayed at laogong's house, played my mmorpg a lot.

Tuesday was mooncake festival. The 5 of us - laogong, his 2 sisters, mum and I went down to walk at the jetty facing the causeway with our battery operated lanterns and music from the lanterns playing in the background. It was so funny, but quite fun. We sure did attract quite a lot of attention. Stayed over that night, because it was too late to go.

Wednesday was a rest day for me. Studied what I could, played what I could.

Thursday met laogong and went out with my gaming friends for dinner at Swensons bugis and then to a pub. Met Riven and his wife, Gab, MW, HD, QQ, CF and a few more. It was interesting, just that it was all about gaming and I was as good as the only girl in the group, apart from Riven's wife. Before meeting them, we also went to Sim Lim and I bought a new MP4 player. It's pink and looks like ipod nano, but of course, it's not. Now, I think I want a speaker. Shall see how money goes.

Friday was the big day! Facial at RIW was simply terrific, although I must say that going with Yanxin was quite an eye opening experience. One feedback I will always remember that yx told the therapist. Facial should be charged according to face size. The therapist was amazed and hinted that yx talked non stop. That day was meant to be a surprise from Yanxin and ting jie. Yanling jie and I had to plan this day for nearly a month. From booking chalet to bbq locations. Although both of them weren't as surprised as we thought they would be, we just hoped that had fun. Oh and I must mention this. The taxi driver nearly drove me crazy. You see, we blindfolded ting jie to bring her to the bbq place. So yx wrote the address on a piece of paper and the driver read it out!!! The game was as good as over.

The weekend was spent studying a little and playing my mmorpg. Nothing much for mention.

Exactly one year ago, I mentioned in my blog to help pray for Chris that she'll be able to pull through that period due to the passing of her father. One year later, I am going to ask my fellow readers, in whatever religion, to help me pray for Chris again, that she'll be able to pull through this tough period again. Her mother just passed away. Such devotion to each other. I do believe in that, and not just mere coincidence. For Chris, call me if there's anything alright?

4th anniversary with laogong

It was a very important day for laogong and I yesterday, 23rd September 2007. It was our 4th anniversary together. Well, we didn't go out to celebrate because I was in Bangkok and would only reach back Singapore past 11pm. In addition, laogong works on Sunday too.

Nevertheless, laogong came to fetch us and he bought me a bouquet of flowers and a SK necklace. It was so sweet and lovely! Muack! Thank you laogong.

How fast 4 years passes. Sometimes we wonder how we can stand each other. I guess it requires a lot of give and take.

I love you laogong!

Back from Bangkok

I'm back!!! Bangkok was fun! Shopping, shopping, shopping and a few cultural tours. We went shopping at Indra Square, Pratunam, Mabunkrong, Jatujak, Suam lum and Pat Phong. Not everything was cheap though. Some of these places sold things at a price I can find at Bugis, despite bargaining. Still, those cheaper items, my mum and I wiped them up quickly. In short, look, grab, pay, go and we're in the next shop.

3 days 2 nights was a rather short stay. One more day could have been better. It was too rush. But like what some of my friends say, at least you get to go. True!

D'MA pavilion hotel was good. Nice big rooms and very clean. Wonder why some of the reviews I read didn't reflect that. Although location was a little off the shopping area, it was walkable abt 10 minutes, or a taxi ride, which is rather cheap solves everything.

One week of break. Going to finish assignments and study for tests. The plan for this week.
Monday - Finish my portion of AAE201 assignment and AAE101 assignment.
Tuesday - Meet group members to finish AAE101 assignment. Meeting laogong's sisters and laogong for mooncake festival. We're going out to carry lanterns.
Wednesday - Maybe I'll stay over at laogong's place and study on Wednesday with TYX if she's at home.
Thursday - Study and assignment day.
Friday - Facial with TYX!
Saturday and Sunday - Study and assignment day.

I'm still open to be booked on my study and assignment day.

Busy busy busy...

Busy busy busy...

I am supposed to be doing my assignment now. Well, actually I am in the process of completing it. It was just issued today and due this Wednesday 5pm. It's quite confusing and so I'm taking a break for a tiny while, away from the assignment, and blogging now.

Been wanting to update the last few nights, but I couldn't find the time to blog. I've been trying very hard to learn my international phonetic alphabets. It's tough, but I think I am getting the hang of it. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my mum learnt about IPA too when she signed up for a course a few months ago. So now, like a primary school kid, my mum sits next to me and makes me learn my IPA. Back to the old school.

I can't wait for Friday!! Thailand, Bangkok, here I come!

You Are 23 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Life's good.. no, not some LG advert

It's been a great day! Don't you just love life? Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating but I realized something today. The dentist isn't all that bad. Apart from the usual naggings, he's quite nice and friendly today. Though he told me to consider having my wisdom extracted. Not that it is decaying or causing me any pain. It is more of a preventive measure to the pain and the decay. Plus he said that better to have it pulled out now, since there is a 95% chance that I won't need an operation to pull it out. Told me to discuss with my mum. Should I? Haven't asked my mum because I know she'll listen to that dentist. If I am going to pull it out then I'll probably do it during my one week holiday in 2 weeks time.

Went shopping today and bought some items, as usual. Got a knee length pants to match with my dress-like-tops. Hopefully it'll look good. I just can't seem to get a pair of pants to match me! My one and only jeans has a hole at an ungodly place and so I can't wear it anymore. Planning to change my wardrobe to more pants or jeans and more dress-like-tops and fortunately (maybe?) my mum is also changing her wardrobe to that too. Said we could share some tops.

Bought a bag too. All because of my dear, Yanxin!! The auntie was so happy to talk to her, that the bag from the original price of $33.90 was cut to $25 instantly without bargaining, if we bought 2 bags. Since the bag was not too bad, though not my usual style, I thought it was worth and the auntie was very friendly. I'm a sucker for good service. The auntie kept saying she won toto yesterday (though I think it was probably crap) that's why she's offering to us at that price. And of course, Yanxin had to wish the auntie good luck to winning more toto or 4D so that she can go back to the shop and get cheaper things.

It's a good day today! Signing off now.

Foot Reflexology

Went for my 2nd session of foot reflexology at Westmall. It was still painful, but the end effects is just good. Got a half package - 6 for $140. Laogong looked like he enjoyed the pain, while I was there very fidgitty. (Is that the correct spelling?)

Am down with the runny nose and cough AGAIN!! That's the 2nd time in just 2 months. Just when I thought I have recovered from my bout of flu and here comes another 1! Gosh! Lots of phlegm. Sticky, gooey, eeeeeee...

Going for a dentist visit tomorrow. *prepared for scoldings* I hate dentists because they all scold!

Meeting Yanxin tomorrow for a shopping fiesta at Bugis! Maybe I should just window shop and wait for Thailand. Can't wait!

Sigh, e-learning week is coming to an end. So fast! And school starts on Monday again.

E-learning week

It's the first day of the e-learning week.

Managed to finish my AED105 essay today. Not very pleased with it so I guess I'll probably make more amendents nearing the dateline.

Was supposed to go out today, but I didn't. Just as well, it's raining now. So I'm enjoying the comfort to my home.

My plan for tomorrow is to go NUH about 10 plus for a urine test and then wait till 2.20pm for my medical checkup. I am not looking forward to it at all because I know I've probably put on weight and that my lab results will most likely not look good. Will get a scolding from the doctor.

Made an appointment to go to the dentist on Friday morning at 9am before going for piano class and then meeting Yanxin.

Wednesday will have to go to work (piano) to do a make up lesson for my students because my teacher / boss is going away for 2 weeks and the music school will be closed.

My free day left is only on Thursday!

Will probably be going to Bangkok with my family on the 20th Sept till the 23rd Sept for shopping. But first, I gotta ask permission from my tutor whether he allows me to join another tutorial group. Looking forward to the shopping trip. My parents too! Finally, I can go to Bangkok for a shopping trip. It's off-peak and I can finally make it on a weekend because I do not have to work. Oh yeah!
