random pictures of food and nice places

I don't really have time to think of meaningful things to blog but i got loads of photos i haven't posted so let the pictures do the talking lah (its my excuse for being lazy..) Its really fascinating how time can pass you by so quickly when you're filled with work to do. I propose a 4-day work week! haha =)

Some random candlelight dinner at CHIJMES =) Its a very nice place but I kinda felt i didn't know what I was eating.. it was super super dark! the waitors had to use torchlights to show us the menus. haha..so much for the romantic ambience huh! I probably attracted everyone's attention with all my flash photography anyway. haha:P


Dessert at Ben and Jerry's!!!
I think i've only eaten icecream from there like twice in my life (its a hint for pple to jio me there) and its really yummy!! I'm blogging this from the shop near my hostel that sells delicious waffle icecream. I needed to "siam" cos alot of uncles were up there to change my curtains...

ohya! that day i was taking the school's internal shuttle bus when a car crashed into us!after all the screams and dispersing... many of us immediately whipped out our mobile phones and cameras and snapped away =) It was pretty funny..

Random comment: I love the food at Asian Kitchen. haha.On another note, i'll be leaving for Cambodia in December for OCIP for a little more than 2 weeks.. teaching kids in the orphanage... will also be exploring Angkor Wat (so exotic right???).. and I'm really excited about the trip cos its totally initiated by students.

The only thing that turns me off is the 3 vaccinations i have to take on top of the malaria pills i have to eat before i leave..

I was doing this local CIP for the past weekend too, which got me so tired i missed MAF (:( :( :( )
Teaching some kids in a Malay Home in faraway Eunos.The kids are sent there by the government because their parents are deemed to be unfit to take care of them...Its much more challenging than the kids i ever handled in my kindergarten..
And it makes me think of how important upbringing is..
The primary 1 and 2 children were pointing third fingers and telling people the f-word all day. Clay pieces we made for them were thrown and smashed to pieces, stolen and destroyed by the group.. and we spent the days pulling apart fighting children and trying our very best to entertain them...
Musical chairs turned violent almost immediately.
Passing the message failed cos they children passed vulgar messages..
And painting clay figurines turned out to be really messy (i think they painted everything on their body (hair included) except the figurines..)

SIGHHHHHHHHHH...................it really really made me rethink my ambition of being a kindergarten teacher.
















saya cinta pada mu =) thanks for being through everything with me.
sometimes i really wonder how other couples "function"
do they have trouble thinking of places to have dinner like us?
do they see each other as often as us?
do the girlfriends make their boyfriends play stupid silly games like us?

Maybe answers will come someday. Meanwhile, i'm contented ...
Contented with simple things we do and share.
Contented I'm never lonely anymore =)

FINALLY...some spare time to blog...

I always have "great ambitions" about mugging really hard and not missing a single reading before school reopens... And I'll get really excited for school to begin because I wanna prove my worth, prove that I'll be more hardworking and all that... BUT... it only takes a few weeks to realise that everything is too much to handle I always have "great ambitions" about mugging really hard and not missing a single reading before school reopens... And I'll get really excited for school to begin because I wanna prove my worth, prove that I'll be more hardworking and all that... BUT... it only takes a few weeks to realise that everything is too much to handle!!! I'm lagging behind readings and its only week 3... Ew...I'm not a successful mugger. But at least i FINALLY have the time to come here and blog for a weeny while before I continue my attempt to mug... *yawn* My modules this semester are surprisingly boring... facts facts facts ... I almost throttled my lecturer today in this module called "Understanding the Universe"... I think he just did well enough to top my charts in the "bad lecturers" segment.. i don't think I ever understood him...ever... hmmm..i don't even remember his name.. oh well... I'm just gonna try and pass all that physics calculation and understand the marvel of the workings of the universe MYSELF!!! Jiayou Mavis!!!! JIA YOU!!! _____________________________________________________
I'll post some long dated photos first ! =)

My new home in school!! Prince George's Park... Pretty nice view eh! And its quiet, has a supermarket, 2 foodcourts/ canteens, jogging tracks, gyms....At least i don't need to take ages to get to school..

CHEAP THRILLS SUNDAY

Cheap thrills Sunday is a day where me and marco try to go dating on a budget...
So, here's us at SUNGEI BULOH!! =) I'm adopting the "I may be fair, but I'm actually sporty" mantra so I'm like motivating myself to do more of other exercises other than shopping and swimming..

I so miss wearing my Hwa Chong PE tee... so that's me in it =D i feel young again!! weeee

I think we barely began when i started screaming when i saw THIS...The monitor lizard kinda freaked me out cos its not erm very friendly looking, so I was frantically looking around for that thing all throughout the journey...and we saw THREE of them altogether!!! The snakes and crocodiles I was initially worried about didn't even come out but I was actually preoccupied by those lizards lah~

After that, we went to his house to whip up a feast of erm...dumplings macaroni!! =D Yummilicious, but we cooked one share too many -_- I love cooking!!!! anyone wanna try?? =D

Then another day, we went to watch "Grease", at the National Museum's Garden! Everyone had their mats out, and brought lots of food and even wine to picnic while enjoying the movie under the banyan tree! =) wonderful experience.. But Singaporeans ah are really kiasu lah! When it started raining, no one wanted to leave and seek shelter. Everyone hung on to their patch of grass right in front of the screen lor! Those who stood up to walk, walked back quickly for their spot on the grass lah! To think I thought i'll stand a chance of better seats! Chey!!!

I met up with Jamie some Tuesday for lunch where we watched the filming of Hey! Gorgeous =) I haven't seen her for ages!! I look like i have a big head beside her!!! *grumpy*

I hope I have time to update soon... but let me just end this post with MY NEW STRAPLESS SLIPPER!!!! isn't it cool??? The base actually sticks to my foot pretty well =D Its supposed to prevent tan lines but erm...that doesn't apply to me :P!!!

OHYAH!! and my new specs =P (don't ask me why i got one more when i have almost perfect eyesight...I just got so tempted!!)

I really miss you guys, my friends =)

And cheeks...especially you...

Peeks

I made an album of the trip that Marco and I had...
You can get the album from me if you wanna see everything else, but here are a few moments and snapshots =)

I'm getting more and more addicted to getting away from reality...eh oh..

What great timing huh, just when school's reopening.. (did i mention bidding's making me slightly murderous.. *roars*)

Whatever lah...Things will work out hopefully !!!

Enjoy =)

Changi Airport at 6am...sleepy but stillllllll EXCITED!!!!! =D

We were trying to use sign language to show the letters HK when the plane touchd down...but I think it looks wrong...! Xuefen!!! I need revision !!!! :S

Checked into the hotel...its a pretty nice 4-star hotel, smack in the centre of town (where all the shopping is!!!!!) ... got it at a pretty reasonable price cos the hotel is having a promotion after its renovation so ...YAYS =)Pretty sights of HK...Queueing to get up to Victoria's Peak.. =)
The famous Wong Tai Sin Temple ..
I finally understood why girls in countries like HK and Taiwan receive huge bouquets of flowers. I used to be so envious whenever i turn on the TV and see the girls receiving these HUGE bouquets of flowers.. and I thought guys there were more generous or something..

But after a visit to the flower market there....i realised the flowers there are super super super cheap!!!! =) so Marco bought a small stalk for me which I got it flown back with me.. super cheap!!!!!!!

Repulse Bay, on a hot and sunny morning ... Ooooooh... Ocean Park!!! =) Its a really beautiful place...

Acting like seals...Shopping at Temple Street! I walked the streets 3 times to spend all my money! haha =)see... Those are the stuff I bought!!! cheap thrills... I'm super happy...*grins*

Oh well..everything just suddenly ended and we're thrown back to reality.. I see books and my messy room instead of having nothing to do and people to make the room...

hello reality...I'm saving up to escape you again!!!!! Anyone wanna escape with me this time ?? =)
