Celebrated bf's birthday together at East Coast Park on Saturday night. It started out really great, night sky was pretty clear and we could see the stars twinkling most of the time, breeze kept us cool throughout. Guess we found a great spot! Bf flipped through the scrapbook I made for him in the dim light we had, and after he was done, we sat outside our tent to have some cherries. Competed to see who could spit the cherry seeds further, but it was dark and we couldn't really see where it landed anyway! Started raining at 5 plus a.m. and we started packing up. I guess that's probably any other camper's worst nightmare. Slept in the car till we were woken up by some bus driver the next morning and bf sent me to work soon after.
My 2nd morning at Tampines West CC, little progress from the students heartens me. Patience, patience. Met up with the rest of the instructors for lunch at our usual kopitiam and exchanged stories about driving lessons, great entertainment, if I can say so.
Met up with bf again in the evening for dinner with his secondary school friends. They decided on Crystal Jade at Takashimaya, and we were half an hour late? Anyway, I'm not a fan but the XLBs were kinda yummy.

Lots of ice-cream, if you ask me. Shared a sticky chewy chocolate with bf and his friends decided to surprise him with a cake and yet another sundae. We are so going to turn into fatties.

happy birthday dougie :)Made my way down to NIE the next day for a tea session, it was more like a Q&A session. My doubts are pretty much cleared. I now feel like I'm ready for this, yes, I can finally say with confidence, that this is what I am going to do, I would like to teach, I am going to become a teacher!
Met up with Siao and Rob for some dinner at Chomps. Lip-smackingly good bbq wings, sambal stingray, lalas, sotong, and satay with peanut & pineapple gravy. Lots of love! Too bad the usual stall that we order from wasn't opened yesterday, I guess the seafood could be a little better. Walked over to Mr Bean for some ice-cream but Siao realized the outlet at Gardens doesn't serve ice-cream the moment we reached. I can totally understand that feeling please. lol. Tried to satisfied the craving with some frozen yoghurt instead, the shop's interior is super eclectic and colourful please. I like! Bitched about stuff and I learnt bout Robin's 2 left ears, and Siao shared with us how someone mistook her 3rd Gen Ipod as a hard disk and asked "how come your hard disk so thick one ah?" Couldn't stop laughing after that. And even more so when I learnt that Rob also knows about the "call me emperor" bonging tale in one of NTU's halls. News spread like wildfire. Hahaha. Thank you for the wonderful night guys!
Siao's got a new nickname, Martianess.
Bf's got a new sinus problem, hope he gets well real soon.

I've been blabbering bout 'my issues' for the past 2 weeks or so, no one's really intersted but that's not the reason why I guess it's time to stop.
I went to the career and education fair held at suntec yesterday, had a good talk with the Maritime exhibitors (aka the director of NTU's maritime studies, as well as SP's maritime academy, students and also the bigshot from MPA luh!). They were far beyond friendly and helpful; provided me with lots of information regarding the industry, making me feel as though I might still have a chance of getting into NTU despite them only taking in 60-odd students for this semester. And I sort of have a plan in mind, about where I want to go if I don't make it into NTU.
I'll sign up for Nautical Studies at SP, study 2 semesters in SP, clock 18 months of sea time, and I'll have a sea-faring career! It's going to be something that I really want to do and I hope my parents will be supportive of my plan though; they aren't exactly right now, my dad probably won't be too keen for me to follow in his foot-steps (you can't say the same for yf though, it's so unfair), and mum's like "you better tell your dad bout this". Not to worry (yet) though, application results are not out yet. Let's just wait and see huh.
Anyhow, it's definitely been awhile since any post here came by with pictures.
Yesterday was Mummy's birthday (great excuse to take pictures!), and we had dinner at Azabu Sabo, Marina Sq! Main courses were fantastic, and so were the desserts. Curry seafood rice, deep fried Jap beef steak, ramen with some cold sauce and almond flakes, and fried ramen wrapped in omelette! & for dessert I thought the sesame ice cream's really yummy too. Didn't take pictures of the food, but I will next time!
Bf surprised the mum by getting the servers to bring the tiny ice cream cake out only at the end of dinner, but everyone was groaning about how full they were. Ha! That was kinda sweet of him.
mummy~
thank goodness it wasn't big...
she damned play cheat one lor... cut the smallest piece for herself
andersen's ice cream cake; not too sweet, but a little milky. nai nai.
Backtracking, bf brought me to Kushinbo for lunch buffet the day my last paper ended. Food for celebration, what could be better than that apart from holidays! Got a table and we joined the hordes of people at the buffet stands. The broth in the beef paper steam boat was sweet. And the mussels were great as usual. The rest of the food however, seem to have gotten lesser. Bf didn't find the dining experience as satisfying as before, oh well! Maybe we should try the dinner next time round?
loves mussels, and he's an expert at getting that last piece of chewy meat off the shell without looking ugly luh
We caught PS I love you after lunch and the movie was great! Started tearing when she received the tape recorder and played back. I can't believe that her husband can be so sweet; knowing that she'll probably be grievin and planned everything to help her get over her grief and move on with her life. I can't believe that anyone can do that, and I still cannot. Sorry to say, but yes, I'm still a cynic when it comes to matters like that.
Got this new piece of junk online sometime ago and it's going to help me take underwater pictures... say Cheese!!
The past few days have been spent watching online Juno and Meet the Spartans (I think you can skip the 2nd one or watch it online too), idling around, and more idling around. Ooh and I finally got my ass down to Sentosa to collect my paycheque for November(!). Sweet!
It's been a long, long entry, but guess what! I still have one more thing to add: danny's coming to singapore tonight! YAY totally!
