Resort @ Hall 1

My favourite haunt in NIE - Joani's room in Hall 1. Hall 1 is slowly becoming my new residence in NIE! :) These days, I spent more time in her room than in mine for reasons that I don't which to keep mentioning. Sigh.

Oh and by the way, I'm now in her hall. Staying overnight.

Aidah, Joani & myself have been spending incredibly alot of time together in the last few weeks since school started. I guess its because we all know that in a few weeks time, we won't be seeing one another in NIE campus for a good 10 weeks ( Addie & Joani off for their practicuum). So we are trying real hard to make whatever time we have left memorable. EEEksss...sounds as though we are some lovers parting! But honestly, its going to be real 'quiet' on my end when those 2 crankie nuts leave. I won't know who to jio for dinner or jalan jalaning at JP anymore. Also, no more homecook food by Joani Lim! Not looking forward to those days man.

As always, Joani & myself will attempt to do some mini groceries shopping when we meet up and here's what we got tonight:

1. Ben & Jerry's Cookie n Dough ice-cream
2. Peel Fresh Orange Juice
3. Biscuits/Snacks
4. Homestyle 2-bite oatmeal raisin, cinnamon rolls and macaroons. (wanted the brownies but no stock!)


Our once-in-a-while shopping at Hall 2's minimart is somewhat our attempt to just relieve our boredom of being in hall and just getting out of our rooms to take in some fresh air. We never fail to be happy with our stash from the brief mini-marting and we sure derive pleasure in filling up our cupboards with food and yes...VCDs & DVDs too!

Wanting to write more but brain protesting. Feeling totally worn out and I cannot wait for the CNY break! Timely respite. So need it man!

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...
