day two.driving lesson was hell for me today. i simply couldn't do it! think i should just give it up; just get a chauffeur! my mood was spoilt. sort of argued with the instructor, again.
instructor: how come your steering so slow? can faster or not? people only need three to four times to steer the whole wheel. how come you can't even do it with five to six times?
i: (keeping my cool) can you be more patient with me or not? i'm already so "gan jiong" (yes, such a word actually came out from me), can't you understand? slowly, can?
instructor: (embarrassed) okay, okay. try again.
just ain't in the mood for anything today. the much anticipated dinner with ex- kayakers got cancelled. i lazed on my bed after the unfruitful work- out in gym.
took my time to wash and dress up, after countless hounding. went dinner with dad, mom and aunt. we had "bak gut tea" at havelock road, somewhere near the temple. i was sceptical about the food and still am. (fats and oil!) yet my parents kept complimenting how good the food is. i felt so disgusted! (at the sight of the crowd and sinful bowls, not to mention the heat and poor service.)
this was taken at the end of the meal; sparing my readers from the disgust of fats and oil from these bowls.
i'm feeling hungry again.

a happy shot to end the day.

took some self- shots on the bed. artistically done! i'm sure you will not find these on my blog. alright, maybe soon!
be good, do not disturb.

day one!today marks the start of the 10- day Singapore's Fashion Festival. dressed up, even though i was about to be late for school- work this morning!
subway for brunch. parmesan bread, toasted. mayonaise and honey mastard sauce. prickles. olives. cheese. lettuce. macademia nut cookies. ice- lemon tea. i still feel hungry after that.

waited one hour for the rest to arrive. one similarity.

proceeded to the Singapore's Botanical's Gardens for picnic after school- work. the wet floor dampened my spirits. dragged ezra along. else, i'll be bored! bestie and i.

nice.


the bushed body needs a long rest, preparing for driving lesson at noon tomorrow!

glad . sadschool- work was busy today! i am so looking forward to the weekends. took some photos, will leave two here.
part time and i.

huang peng and i.

went for tuition after sch- work. the boy's mom told me it will be my last lesson today, initially. (well, it's pay day!) was rather glad and sad. first, glad because it means that i have more time for family and myself. was sad as it meant no more income for me. then she changed her mind shortly after - which disrupted whatever i planned to do.
well, i'm thinking of giving this tuition kid up. it's really too far from my place. and that would mean i need new tuition assignments! people, please help me keep a look- out. i need those near town! deeply appreciate.

worn- out!the games committee, which consist mainly of people from the humanlink, planned something totally uncalled for. being skeptical about the whole event, i went ahead with it (without a choice.) and since i'm there, i might as well enjoy myself. ("rara- ed" the team!)
getting ready for the "set- off" stage. well, my team set off first!

left: at the amphitheatre where we "fished" 10 balls out from the "pool".
right: at the longest staircase. a test of our memories. orange, blue, red, green, pink.

9 game stations we went. some fun, some not so. totally disliked the floorball game (master) - a waste of my (our) time!
while waiting for the prize presentation.
left: dinah and arwin.
right: JK and i.

during the appreciation.
left: mr. wong, irene, andy, JK, candy, GZ, yasser. (team D)
right: elsie, mr. wong, thomas, mei hong, JJ, dao li, huishan, dalilah. (team E)

team C won!
from left to right: haini, mr. wong, zeb, lina, i, grace, jack (blocked), sherwin.

now, all our hard work was paid off! we ran from one game station to another, without stopping. (with clues to solve on the way.) the physical is greatly stretched. the skin is glazed.

met up with kal for dinner. great time we had catching up with each other. i am seriously worn- out! i need to rejuvenate with a hydrating (body) mask!

how to.hot red tuesday! went sun- tanning during lunch time. (you may view photos from my friendster) had a wonderful time of solitude. i should do this more often! headed to the gym after school. attended the long- forgotten combat class with jocelyn. i was seriously worn- out (after two days of insomnia). we were then supposed to head home for dinner but.. chilled at The Coffee Connoisseur.
nice ambience.

we shared this beef sandwich. juicy!

hers: sesame milkshake. tasty!

mine: oreo mocha with whipped cream. fragrant!

candid! love her dressing today. nice!

due to the disturbed night and lack of sleep, i have totally no mood to dress up for the day. looked super "un- glam" or what many call "chui".
bestie and i.

wonderful conversation we had, a good three hours! both enjoyed each other's company and stories. how i wish time wouldn't pass so quickly. love this bestie of mine!
the late night made me ponder (even more). the rivers flowed. i was in a daze, not knowing what to do and how to react. (alright, i am affected. deeply!)
i don't want to grow up.
another sleepless night. (i wonder how to.)

satisfied!was doing tabulation for those surveys till 4a.m this morning. couldn't fall back to sleep. was then reminded of hidayah. i am supposed to bake cookies for her! been wanting to do this for a long time too. it's now time! (to fulfill my word and do what i procrastinated since the year started.)
one egg and a stick of butter.

add in the "ready- made" flour with chocolate chips.

mix the dough thoroughly.

break the dough into small pieces and set it onto ungreased baking tin.

fresh from the oven!

the big ones.


the little ones.

all in all, i made 89 cookies. the F&N skills are put to use. the tired body is satisfied with these! (cheers!)
the sleepless night made me even more tired. two days of insomnia not!
the neck aches. the tummy hurts.
the feet are sore. the head is spinning.
the heart pounds, still.

funny!i got bored while working. thus approached qiaoling to disturb her.
joke of the day:
i: hi, can i do a survey with you?
ql: okay, sure.
i: may i have your age please?
ql: i'm 81.
i: i think you look more like 82. so how often do you come to orchard cineleisure?
ql: err, once in every 10 years?
i: i see, so how long do you stay here? like between one and three hours or more than that?
ql: just five minutes only.
i: oh, and what are you here for usually?
ql: stand here (outside the main entrance) and feel the air- con "lor".
i: ok next, what do you use your cell- phone for?
ql: err, my five minutes is up. bye!
ql and i kept laughing for the nex two minutes. hillarious it was!

best!work was alright today. supposedly to work from 2p.m to 2a.m but managed to get off at 11.30p.m. thank God for the down- pour after those unintentional sun- tann. met quite a few people, thanks for helping me with the surveys!
saw a lot of good- looking people today. i want those noses, eyes and height!
babe jocelyn came to look for me after her work- out. sweet of her to wait one half hours for me, to knock off (and we weren't even going home together!) her genuine affection and care truely touches me. i now pronounce babe jocelyn, my bestie!

the team took quite a few photos today but due to the poor lightings, i'll leave this here.
with part time!

JK's at my place tonight again. we'll leave for work together tomorrow. the tired body needs a massage!

good!the festive season marked a public holiday for all. yet woke up at 8a.m religiously. driving lesson in the morning was horrendous.
met dinah for brunch and i had "zha jiang mian". it was nice!
afterwhich, the easter drama.

bestie waited for me till 7. 25p.m before we headed to "happy valley" for our long- awaited late dinner.
my bowl: stew beef noodles. yum!

bestie's: glazed duck, sliced. delicious!

the ala carte: steamed hundred pearls. fresh! (and "cha siew bao" which i forgot to take photo of.)

dessert: "tang yuan" in peanut cream.

bestie! (and i also forgot to take photo of myself! so much for dressing up today.)

afterwhich, we went to check out the nearby steakhouse, T- bone and a dessert place. both with very good ambience. shall patronise them soon. (and i will not forget photos!) headed to my place. had a great chat regarding our partnership. counted 147 survey forms!
thanks bestie.

eve.team 2 had gift exchange for good friday today. nice time we had. i wonder who took this with my camera. my sexyback!

went for a job briefing after work- school. i'll be doing street survey at orchard cineleisure. do drop by!
rushed home for dinner before meeting joseph for mid- night movie, step- up 2. not too bad. 3 1/2 stars i would give.

joke of the day:
jo: ehh, you got a new phone. (looking at the cell which i was holding onto)
i: well no, i got an old one. (smiling widely, closing my eyes)
jo: then what happened to your new phone?
i: (laugh non- stop)
