Was out the whole day today! Really tiring.
Firstly, went to Thomson Plaza for breakfast at Ya Kun. Then went to the market near my house to get fruits. Visited two temples. We were there to thank the gods for blessing my brother with extremely good PSLE result. I didn't mention in my blog yet! My brother scored 273 for his PSLE! (: He's the 3rd in his whole school! My mum, sister and I went hysterical when we knew about his result. hahas.
After that, went out with my sister and my cousin. We went to Bugis. Had lunch at NYDC. The baked pasta is good. We went shopping after that. I am really amazed by the fact that my sister and my cousin spent such a long time trying out nail polish. hahas. Then we went to Changi Airport Terminal 3. This is my first time there! So was rather excited. hahas. We toured each level. Had dinner at Crystal Jade. Then went to AMK hub to buy stuffs before returning home.

Went to Marina Square and Suntec today. Its been quite sometime since I last visited these places. Had lunch at Marina Square. There are so many places that I want to eat at in Marina Square! But my family settled for the food court instead. The only incentive is that the view at the foodcourt is really fantastic. I can see the esplanade! hahas. Anyway, ate laksa for lunch. Not too bad I must say. After lunch, we went to Suntec Expo to visit the food safari. There were so many people there! And so many different types of food on display. It ranges from Chinese to Thai to Vietnamese to Korean and to even African! The African booth was really exotic! I like the costume and the accessories! Too bad I was super full from lunch thus wasn't in the right mood to do food sampling. hahas. But looking and smelling the fragrance of all the food was really good enough. We did bought some food home though. Next, we went to the book fair just one level above the food safari. There were not as many people as at the food safari. Looks like food is way more powerful than books! hahas. Wasn't really interested but later I found some nice books like a book on crossbreeds of dogs. Some of the dogs were really cute. Went back to Marina Square. Shopped for a new pair of shoes since mine is already spoilt. Didn't managed to get one that has a nice design and is comfortable. Wells, I'll try looking some other time.

SNG student council investiture today!
Met up with Jaslin at YCK MRT station before taking bus to SNG. It feels really weird when people keep staring just because we are in white, long-sleeved blouse, grey skirt and court shoes. Anyway, its good to be back in SNG. We strolled around in the family lounge, canteen... before going to the hall for investiture. I didn't quite like the fact that they put 2nd Student Council. Yes it is true that the Prefectorial and Monitorial Board merged to form the Student Council just last year but it felt like the past years of PMB were non-existent and unimportant and they didn't contribute to the school at all. I sang SNG school song again! Its been a long long time. hahas. After the investiture, we told the usher that we didn't really need her assistance since I'm from SNG. So Jaslin and I went immediately for the buffet. hahas. Then we queued to eat orange bowl! And sat in the canteen to have our meals. hahas. We are the most auto school in this investiture. While other schools were still on the school tour, we were pigging out at the canteen. hahas. Jacqueline, Jasmine and Ben came along. After eating, Jacqueline, Ben, Jaslin and I went around the school. I saw my Olevel Art piece hanging outside the art room. hahas. Too bad some of the paint faded off so it doesn't look as nice now. I'll repaint it one day. hahas.
After leaving SNG, Jaslin and I went to AMK hub. Finally I found someone willing to watch Sing To The Dawn with me! (: We bought tickets at Cathay for the 1.50pm movie and we got couple seats for ourselves! hahas. This is the first time I'm trying the couple seats. It is so much more spacious. There weren't alot of people in the cinema. We managed to get ourselves out of the court shoes which were killing our feet with blisters! Sing To The Dawn was ok. The story was totally different from the book except for the scholarship part. A few parts of it were really lame. hahas. But the seating, the comfort, the freedom from watching this movie was really worth the 6 bucks! hahas.

Woke up late again as usual. And again by the primary school kids screaming and yelling just next door to my condo. hahas. Had breakfast, watched TV, used my laptop. My usual routine! hahas. After lunch went to Little India to buy orientation stuffs. Kenneth made me wait for him for 30mins! Argh! I'm not a patient person. hahas. Jade had to wait for us too. All Kenneth's fault! After shopping, we went to Mindy's condo.
Our first Solaris OGL bonding session! (:
It was at Mindy's condo function room. And 20 people turned up! So thanks to HuiQi, Tabitha, Liz, Emily, Jacq, Dawn, Cris, Jade, LeeJing, Jo-lin, SiJia, YuHung, Kenneth, Mindy, KahSwee, ZhiHao, Alvin, Vanessa and Albert for turning up! (: My OGLs are very auto. hahas. While waiting for those who are late, they started playing Bridge. We did a round of introduction, played the masking tape game, had orientation briefing then dinner. After dinner was more card games! hahas. I guess playing cards can help people bond! (: Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves.
I realise I'm really unlucky when I go to Mindy's house. hahas. Previously when I went to her house with Jade and Letts, my track shoes were spoilt. Today, my slippers broke. hahas. I had to walk barefooted!

I have been going out so often for the past few days! Thus today is indeed a rare day for me as I will be staying at home! hahas. Having so many gatherings and outings recently. Firstly was with NJ062 after OP. Then was with my HAT and Letts after planning for wargames. Then was with my squadmates for dinner at Swensen to celebrate our NCO's birthday. Then was with Jade to Little India. Then was with council for dinner at Turf City. Class outing is on Monday. Solaris OGL bonding session on Wednesday. And of course going back to school repeatedly to plan for orientation. This is actually quite tiring. hahas.
The topic about tuition is constantly going on. Specially after the fact that one of my cousins had at least 2 tuitions for each subject in primary school and she scored a brilliant score of 273 for her PSLE. So I was recalling all the tuitions that I had since primary school.
Primary school: English- 2, one from P3-P4 and one from P5-P6. Mathematics- none, and my mum really regretted this up till today cos I scored an A instead of an A* for this subject in PSLE. Chinese- 2, one was a private tutor and one was Jiang, a tuition centre. Science-1, the same one that taught me English from P5-P6.
Secondary school: Chinese- 2, one was Jiang till S1 and one was a private tutor from S2-S4. I didn't have tuition for my other subjects.
JC: English- 1, School of Thought. I want to have tuition for my other subjects as well especially for Econs but looking at my busy schedule next year, I don't think I will be able to have. hahas.
my fav! baby looney tunes! (:

Started orientation planning today with my HAT and letts. We did our planning, measurements and chatted. Went to Westmall for lunch. Subway again! But Subway changed their student meal! :( Now there is only one cookie cos they upsized the drink. I would rather have 2 cookies! After lunch, we went to Mindy's house. We had a tour at the clubhouse. I must say the clubhouse looks so much more professional than my condo's. hahas. Went to Prime to buy stuffs. Then Letts left while Jade and I went back to Mindy's house. We talked all the way to near 7pm. This is the first time my HAT sat together to talk about informal stuffs I think. hahas.

PW is OVER! After a year-long of struggles, PW is finally over! Our presentation I must say really wasn't bad! hahas. Anyway, after OP and being audience for 2 groups, NJ062 went to Bugis for shopping! We first went to buy some snacks to fill our stomachs. I got myself a tornado potato and chicken stick. They were really good. We then shopped at Bugis Junction before going to Bugis Street. I was really damn tired walking here and there. Thus I got really irritated when stupid Kenneth just couldn't decide on a bag to buy! hahas. Eventually I told him that 'we are not leaving this shop until you get yourself a bag!' Finally he found the type of bag he was looking for. Oh and I found a bag that I really like. Love the design! Plus the bag comes in 4 different colours, just nice for the four girls in NJ062! (: Clarissa-Black, Wanqing-Brown, PeiXuan-White and Me-Purple! Too bad I didn't bring enough money to buy this bag since we are going out for dinner later. We continued shopping at Bugis Junction. Oh we took neoprints too! It has been ages since I last took neoprints so I was really excited about it! hahas. I love the prints! We then went on a quest to search for the best place for dinner. We were so spoilt with choices. In the end, we ate at some USA restaurant. Our waiter, Sunny, was super friendly! The service, food and ambience were really great. We stayed there for around 1.5-2 hours. Everyone ate to their fullest. Of course throughout the meal there was a lot of chatting and laughing and taking photos. Returned home after dinner.
I am going to miss NJ062! This will never happen again next year. :( But we are going out again to buy the bag that we didn't managed to buy and try the Shokudo restaurant at Raffles City that I recommended. hahas. I must be really thankful to have such funny and retarded team mates! hahas.

Today's my birthday! (:
Woke up at 6.20am. Was really surprised by my siblings prepration for my birthday. My sister stuck a trail of post-its at home to guide me to my presents. Really thoughtful! hahas. Visited the temple with my whole family early in the morning. I was at that temple on my chinese birthday and now I'm there again on my english birthday! We went to Tiong Bahru Plaza for breakfast. Met up with Pei Xuan and Wan Qing at Tiong Bahru MRT station and then my parents sent us to SPD centre. We went there as volunteers to help out. There was a workshop for caregivers and our duties were to facilitate registration and give out freebies. We were only busy until around 10am then registration closed. We sat at the registration booth and started chatting. Then the buffet arrived around 12 plus and our duty was to give out food. After giving out, we took our share of lunch as well. The social worker even gave us a goodie bag each! The goodie bag is good. hahas. It had a laptop bag, a temperature cap, a shirt, a flask-like mug and two post-its. We helped keep the chairs and returned to Tiong Bahru MRT station. We didn't do much so kinda felt guilty when they kept thanking us and even provided us with free lunch and goodie bags. Returned home. After bathing, I watched abit of my dramas then went out to buy my birthday cake. I had a mango cake while my parents had a blackforest cake for their wedding aniversary. We went to Sentosa, my uncle's place for bbq. Ate quite alot. Chatted with my cousins and also watched TV. Ate chocolate chip cookies while watching! My favourite! hahas. Cut my birthday cake after that. Continued with our chat and then returned home. It was a really long day!
Just want to thank all those who had send your wellwishes and those who gave me presents! (: Really apreciate it. I want to thank my uncles and aunties for arranging the bbq and providing everything.
HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY TO ME! (: hahas.
