:: rest of May ::

20 May Tue
Met up with a guy i got to know thru Friendster, from Penang, Msia. don't worry, i'm not a 14 year old girl anymore.. and anyway i probably started chatting with him since i was 18, only met up for the first time now. He introduced Couchsurfing website to me, where people all over the world get contacts if they want to seriously backpack and get free accommodation from people who offer their couches during their stay. i heard about such thing before, but nv got to the website till this friend told me. From his testimonials from people all over the world which he offered his couch, and pple he stayed with when he travelled, he seems like a pretty decent guy la. met him at Compass Point after my driving lesson, which was quite bad :(

i thought i was early so i went to Popular to shop. bought a One Republic cd, i thought the songs (All we are, Mercy, Prodigal, All fall down... etc.) seem quite Christian, so i wanted to buy and listen. Anyway, turns out he was very early and had been walking around for very long already, but still brought him around the shopping centre. Stopped at the food court for a drink.. dunno where to bring him to, then brought him to the Community Centre building nearby.. guess it was a good idea, cuz he was curious and fascinated abt our CC. he's the kind who is interested in politics, esp since msia now still got unresolved politics. i know nothing abt UMNO and the other party, man. Looks like he didn't know what is HDB flat, so i just told him to turn around and look outside. lol. Then we had dinner at Yoshinoya. i'm usually very tired after driving lessons, so we parted and went home.

21 May
Cooked Macaroni for lunch, went out to buy groceries while waiting for the macaroni to expand. Cooked dinner. Glad i didn't cook too much. I was very happy calculating the cost of dinner.. It's probably about $1 per person!

22 May
Dad quit his job, today's supposed to be his last day, but he claimed day off since he worked on Vesak Day PH. Didn't know he plans so well. Went to his office with him to return his uniform, pass and stuff, then went to Redhill Market for breakfast. After that we went to Labrador Park. Looks like a great fishing spot. Had nasi lemak at the small, old food centre near the main road when it started to pour..

After the rain kinda stopped, I suggested we visit Ginza Plaza, see how the place has changed, but it's still under construction. It almost rained, and I wanted to go home, but dad took a detour and went thru NUS to Clementi central. Shopped in NTUC cuz i was thirsty, and walked around the central. I was quite reluctant cuz i just want to go home. Then we finally left, but dad took detour again, he stopped by Thomson Plaza to take a walk. ok la, since i have almost never been there (can't rem at all). Quite PMS-y today.

Cooked dinner. And once again, very cheap dinner! very simple cooking la. just cook the meat, veggies, tofu, crabstick, all put oyster sauce and soya sauce. hee.. dad actually said it's nice! =)

23 May
Dad went to uncle's place in Loyang, and then after that i met him to go to Expo for Singapore Food Fest. =D Dad walked until he was tired so i went to Popular Bookfest myself. Bought printer cartridge.

Amos' birthday party at Frujch. Played with Servio till i was very tired. haha.. Dad refused to take the free umbrella from buying Cafe Nova products, so i had to take. I half-expected to lose it. but i set myself a reminder to take it before i leave. End up, i tried to search for it but couldn't find it. Quite sad, since i do remember, just that somebody probably brought it home. =(

24 May
Cell word. Only finalised it after I got home last night. I kept thinking whether i should go ahead with the topic, when i was outside, but thank God for clear instructions. During sharing, Malcolm mentioned about food and cooking. He said he puts a lot of pride in cooking for people, and so it should show the effort. I was ashamed of myself for a while, as if i didn't put in effort whenever i cook. but then after that i thought, i'm just easy to please la, the more complicated the cooking is, ironically, the more i dislike the food. So i shall not compare my cooking with his.

worship prac, andrielle and i both singing.. it's quite rare to get to sing with her. =) Had dinner with Chris and Nelson.. Chatted with Chris abt driving and public transport. Well, guess i'll only get a car if i have $40,000 spare cash. lol.

25 May
Lunch with cell at Marina Sq food court. we occupied one whole large table, so shiok. Then went shopping with the girls at Suntec. Great Singapore Sale! Hmm.. i guess i just don't like shopping in expensive shops. So i got very tired and decided to go home.

26 May
Ordered my own birthday present thru Amazon!! i've been watching eBay for the same item for a few weeks already, there were about 3 of them, always started cheap, and then bid ends at US$60.. :( but when i saw someone selling at Amazon for US$19.99, i quickly added it to my cart and confirmed purchase!! woohoo~! It's actually a Nancy Drew 75th Anniversary Limited Edition, 5-in-1 PC games! I also added 2 extra games since they are from the same seller, US$9.99 each. =)

Dad said he was going to cook fried rice.. Ended up to be Claypot rice. What happened to his cooking man?

27 May Tue
Meeting in church with uncle Peter and uncle Subas regarding my mission trip funding. Was early to pass name tags to Tricia since i could not make it for the Tanglin Halt camp tomorrow morning. She told me i gotta change group to cover another camp parent cuz he last min can't make it. A bit disappointed, since i've already made the name tags, but okay la. My original group already had 2 camp parents, they can cope one.

Then Rachel, a church worker, spoke to me regarding the church website. Seems like she knew me when i was young, she even knows my parents! And I thought she was new. hehe.. Think I'll be coming to church to work on the website soon. =) I'll have a job! woohoo~

Uncle Peter and uncle Subas brought me good news about my mission trip proposal. It has been approved, not just as a subsidy, but it will be more than what i need! wow! Praise God! And I thought i still had to fork out some money for the trip. Indeed i had been worrying about my finances, but God has provided so much more!! Wow wow wow ~ ~

Dad asked me want soup bee hoon, or fried bee hoon.. i chose fried bee hoon, but turns out to be just dry bee hoon. haiz.

28 May
Driving lesson... During the 15 min break i went to check for slots for June lessons, wanted to book, but i was too slow!! There is 0 slot left for june! And my instructor wanted to advise me how i should spread my remaining lessons.. I felt so sad and disappointed in him la. Then he even said i would require 28-32 lessons when i was expecting 24-27 (that's the average the CDC staff told me) :( so that means i'm below average. :( :( :(

asked my dad to pick me up straight after my driving lesson, to Tanglin Halt. The kids were just playing station games. I joined in at almost the end, where they had water bombs, water guns, water fountain.. and i got myself wet! ahh i shld have joined after that so i will be clean and dry. but never mind, quite fun la. Got one little girl, shoot at Eleora with her water gun, and laughing with an evil look, like she's some pervert. so scary.

after shower and dinner we had night games. my group quite cooperative since there would be a forfeit for not staying together. but they kinda blame each other a lot.

had debrief and roti prata for supper! dunno y i kept craving for cup noodles. the air con very cold sia.

29 May
Woke up with runny nose and aching body.. :( had morning exercise and then breakfast. main activity of the day is West Coast Park! which the children have been anticipating for the whole camp. they also had a talentime on the last day and they were supposed to prepare a skit, but seems like my group very un-cooperative and noisy leh. :( gek me until i wanna pull my hair out eh. Ashlyn and Shirlyn, the sisters in my group, fought and both cried. I was suddenly very helpless, dunno how to handle them. guess i stared at them for too long, trying to figure what they are thinking and how to resolve their problem. Shirlyn, the elder sister, kept saying, "I can't stand her anymore! I don't love her, I don't want her..." wah i myself almost cried.

after WCP, (i was craving for a frappe the whole time) there was buffet dinner. They allocated so much time for it, we were able to shower, and then had free time to play. i was so glad to have the free time to relax. but all that noise was giving me a headache. i felt very homesick.. i wanna go home...

30 May
YAY last day of camp.. i was secretly very happy and just want to end camp asap. so bad hor. actually i'm quite disappointed in the meals leh. they seem to take very long to prepare, and while cooking, all the smells seem so good, but turns out to be leftovers from the buffet dinner yesterday. Yes it's good to not waste food, but ... it was cold, and look like they just reheated the food a bit that's all. i mean i would have used the dishes and transformed them into another dish, that kinda thing. dunno la. suddenly i become very unappreciative.

my group got 3rd for the skit!! wow! looks like separating them from the other groups works!

camp parents still gotta debrief.. i wanna go home.. headache.. runny nose.. fever.. :(

got a lift from aloy to church. =) cuz my dad refused to pick me up :(

went home and checked for july slots to book for driving lesson.. not many left, i could only book 6 lessons. i think i'm gonna fail my driving test, without trying i can expect it to happen le. :( :( :( suddenly felt very sad and moody like the kids. just want to cry like them. aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh

31 May
had breakfast with parents. was craving for MacDonald's breakfast, but coupons expired. :( no mood to eat lunch. just very very very sad and sick. super moody.

Thank God for cell grp. shared with them abt my disappointment, and they asked me to share the good news, eh, turns out i got more good news than bad news what. why i keep focusing on the bad news? felt better.

had dinner at Kovan.. cuz i needed to go StanChart atm and see if i can book lessons thru the office. i just feel they like cheat my money la. if i fail, most likely i can't take the retest until my membership and my PDL expire, then i need to spend extra $50 to renew them just to take retest. idiot. cheat my money..

2 Jun
Very lazy day apart from finally updating my blog. Dad keep asking me to go fishing.. it took me quite a few hours to decide to go. Well, still feel sick la. Dad got lost on the ECP, dunno which is the exit that leads to Bedok Jetty. Anyway.. the whole episode is quite sian la. No fish.. haiz. Dad caught a boxfish while i caught a what-i-think-is-an-octopus. It escaped when i accidentally hit the weight against the platform :( :( :(

i'm starting to love octopi. Have you ever gone to YouTube to search videos of octopi? They are super smart and versatile.

Didn't estimate my time properly.. end up a bit late for my thai class and made my dad unhappy..
