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.

Life's almost come to a standstill for me; no job to make time pass a little quicker, and my bank account a little fuller. Quite sad, I know.
Anyhow, the fishing trip with dad? It didn't happen. He was gone (for work) on Monday before I could even wake up, and only came back today. Super anti-climax hor? I bet you were waiting for pictures of my 'hearty catch'.
Passed my BTT today; the wait to apply for the PDL's horrendous please. Siaos recommended a method to minimize waiting time & I thought that might be good to share here: Get a queue number from the waiting area before you go for the test (maybe 30 minutes before your test starts will be good), because YOU WILL DEFINITELY END THE TEST BEFORE IT REACHES YOU. & only today, I remembered the e-learning that the school provides. lala, ev (& sheryl), if you're reading this and you think you need some more practice for BTT, drop me a message/tag (or something) so that I can reply with the id & password for CDC's website. There's still bout 14 hours more to go!
Driving's super fun, though I find my legs more wobbly at the end of lessons.
Met up with Siao this afternoon for Sakae too; I love Jap food! After stuffing ourselves silly at the Heartland Mall outlet, we made our way to a shop nearby that sells pets' stuff, food and all. Purpose? To see the super cute Chow Chows that the shop owner keeps in his shop.
nah this is something i got off google, didn't take a picture of them
There's supposed to be 5 of them, but 1 passed away, and 2 others were left at home. Quite a lot of dogs, I'd say, and they're not exactly miniature breeds. Had the chance to see Wawa (quiet and more approachable) & Big Boy (this one's got so much hair he looks like a lion lah!), the 2 cute dogs in the shop. Had fun petting Wawa and observing BigBoy in his pen. So cuteeeeeeeeee can! I hope Siao ask me go back to the shop with her sometime soon so that I can take a picture of these 2 doggies for all of you to see!
Okay, I will stop gushing like some highschool star-struck fan girl (because it's never really been my thing). But now you know what makes me go 'Awwwwwww......' Right.
Made fondants at the bf's place last night too; successful batch! Lots to go around too. Bf suggests a dinner celebration in the night for me, for having passed my BTT! I hope we get to eat some really delicious food!
I f#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#$%-ing hate having missed calls with witheld numbers. It's killing me!
