I can't believe school's reopening tmr! Time sure passes really quickly. I can't sleep until 8am anymore. :(
Anyway, my june holiday this year is so-so. Quite okay lah. There was alot of family bonding time during this holiday. Not bad. Hahas. And lots of watching of TV. I'm hooked onto a taiwanese long period drama. Die. It has 1000 episodes! And I'm currently at 700+. Not sure if I can stop watching once school starts. Hahas.
So the last day of school holiday. Nothing much. Went to Sentosa One degree 15 to have brunch. Dim Sum! Then returned home, switched on the aircon, listened to the radio, napped... Not feeling anxious for common test yet leh. Weird.
So Good Luck to everyone taking the exams after the holiday! (:

My sis and my relatives are back from their cruise trip today. Time passes really quickly. It seemed like just yesterday when we sent them off. Anyway, so they were back happy and all. My relatives won money from the casino! hahas. My sis related to us what they did on this trip on our way back home. Looks like she did enjoy herself afterall. And looks like if I had gone, I would not be able to study at all listening to all the places that you can visit on board the cruise. After that, we went to watch transformers 2 with my family and my cousins. We watched transformers 1 together too in 2007! Not bad a movie. Lots of action! And there were funny and stupid parts too. hahas. We went for dinner after the movie. It was already 9pm. Nihon Mura's last order is at 9.30pm and they close at 10pm so we had to eat and order really quickly. But we were all super full and I can't really sleep after that. hahas.

Yesterday, my sis and I made dinner for my family! hahas. We made a western cum chinese cum jap meal. Fusion! Anyway, we had chicken in teriyaki sauce, tomato cup filled with scrambled egg with melted cheese on top, mashed sweet potato, rock melon and mango cubes with chocolate shavings, mushroom soup with small star-shapped toasts! It was really fun. My sis spent a longer time in the kitchen cos I went to watch my show from 4.30pm-5.30pm. hahas.
And today, before I forget.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUAN HAO! (:hahas. May all your dreams and wishes come true fellow mugger!
Ok back to my life. Erm my sis and relatives are going for cruise! They are going to Rendang. I had the option to go but because of CTs... Haiz... So went to send them off at Harbour Front. My mum, brother and I waited for my dad at Vivo City so that we can have dinner there. Went to Hei She Hui again. This time, we managed to sit at a spot with the harbour view. We could see the cruise that my sis was on! hahas. So we had our dinner. And they served us the wrong dish! But at least we had complimentary dessert because of that. hahas. Saw the cruise sail off but in the wrong direction. We could only see the tail of the cruise!

I had a really weird but NICE dream. hahas. It combined almost everything in my life now. School, Idols, Friends, Ambition... I woke up and tried to sleep back to continue the dream. hahas. But I can't. So now I can only recall it. I hope it comes true but I'll laugh my head off if it really does cos I know it is impossible for it to realise. But wells, I can still dream about it! hahas.

Went for dental appointment in the morning at Forum, the shopping mall. My sis went in first and so I was waiting at the waiting area. I was supposed to read my econs notes but the TV was airing Donald Duck's cartoon. And so I just couldn't resist and started watching. hahas. It was in chinese! And then it was my turn. My dental place has this TV on the ceiling so that when you lie down and the dentist is checking your teeth, you can be occupied watching the TV. And it just so happen to air Just For Laughs during my check. It was so difficult to try not to laugh. I wanted to burst out laughing at one particular gag but I can't cos the dentist was cleaning my teeth. So ever heard of laughing through your eyes? hahas.
After the check, my mum, sister, brother and I went to Isetan. We shopped around and there was this Hokaiddo Fair. There were many free food samples. hahas. But I didn't really like them cos they were raw seafood and I don't really like raw stuffs. My brother seemed to enjoy himself though, trying different kinds of food. I was more captivated by the bread store that sells a great variety of bread and bun. I couldn't resist and bought myself 3 mini buns- 1 choco puff, 1 choco mochi and 1 cheese mochi. They will be for tea later. hahas. Then we went to Taka. Shopped around and settled for Crystal Jade Dim Sum for lunch. We went to shop for Father's Day Gift. Couldn't find anything suitable and so we took a train to J8. Managed to buy 2 shirts for my dad. Then returned home.
Went out with my grandparents, cousins and family for dinner at Turf Club. We had a seafood dinner! My favourites like Lobster, Peking Duck, Alaska Crab... It was kinda too expensive though. Every family dinner, we would play zhong ji mi ma to clear the remaining food. This time, we even involved my grandparents. It was a funny sight when my grandma had to eat twice cos she guessed the number and my grandpa laughed really happily.

Went to Escape Theme Park with my family and cousin. Its been ages since I last went there. Anyway, we had free tickets so why not spend them? We went there quite late cos my dad had a doctor appointment. When we reached there, there weren't alot of people as compared to last time. We only sat 5 rides cos many were shut down. And the shut down rides are the more thrilling ones! Argh. In the end, the only ride I enjoyed was the Viking. hahas. I can't wait for the IR to be up. I heard the theme park will be much bigger with rides much more fun and exciting. Escape Theme Park will then pale in comparison. Nonetheless, I just enjoyed being there with my family and cousin and recalling those wonderful memories. We also played the carnival game. Its really frustrating that you just can't get the prize and it makes you want to play again until you win. hahas. That was what I felt when I couldn't shoot at least 2 balls into the hoop. I only got in 1. After around spending 2hours there, we left for lunch. Had New York New York! But it took a really long time for the food to be served. I was facing the kitchen so I could see only 1 chef preparing our meals for the 6 of us. And there were cooked and served one by one. And I was the last one to be served. So you can imagine me waiting for my food while the others can start eating. hahas.

Went to school this morning for Indian Dance meeting. In the end, we waited for around 10min for the late comers and Arthi made a 10min announcement and we're done! Luckily I brought revision notes to make my time more worth while in school and luckily today is investiture banner painting session so I could go and take a look. So the announcement that Arthi made was bitter-sweet. Bitter for the seniors cos we can't step down yet, sweet for NJCID cos we are going to perform at the esplanade for the president and international guests! We are the only ID performance. (: Looks like I have to start recalling all the steps for the dance. hahas. But I'm quite happy cos I get to dance, which means exercise, cos I've been eating alot during the holidays. hahas. So I went to see the 42nd council busy at work today. Painting the main banner, side banners, making souvenirs for guests and seniors and also for handover. It brought back memories. hahas. I can still remember feeling really vexed over making last year's souvenirs cos it needed to be done really carefully. It trained our concentration. But it was really nice cos everyone came down! A very rare sight throughout the council term. I played photographer. hahas. Just like Tuan last year. These photos are precious cos they show the 1st ad-hoc of council!
Went to Vivo City, Hei She Hui, for dinner. The whole place is BLACK. hahas. But it has style! The food is really good too. I was super full after the meal. Oh if you go there, you should visit their toilet. My mum entered the washroom and came out telling us that she couldn't find the cubicles. When you enter, you will be surrounded by full length mirrors. And some mirrors are actually doors of cubicles! Really cute. Another feature is that there are no taps for you to wash your hands. There is this sensor and once it senses your hand, water will flow like a mini waterfall from this piece of wall hanging from the ceiling. I'm not sure if you can picture it. hahas. But it is a really fun experience.

Went to SOT in the morning. Mr Tong started the lesson saying that everytime after a class, there will definitely be this joker who will tell him that he/she doesn't understand the lesson. And he would then have to explain to him/her. And today, I'm this joker. hahas. I was just confused for the 2nd half of his lesson. Luckily somehow or another I managed to tell him what exactly I didn't understand and he was saying that throughout the week, I'm the first to tell him why and which part I don't get. I didn't know I managed to say that actually. hahas. Shoujin was the first one in the week to understand clearly and was able to explain his method 5. So awesome. So jealous. hahas.
Went to meet my family at Suntec. Along the way, I met this weird guy who approached me, pointing to his face and said, "You have a weird looking face. But you have good fortune. I'm a fortune teller. What's your name?" I just smile and nodded when he said I have good fortune but left once he asked for my name. hahas. First time meeting this situation.
Anyway, my family and I walked round and round to decide on a place to eat. In the end, we settled for teppanyaki food. And boy was it worth it! For $7.80++, you get a bento set (rice, miso soup, teppanyaki beansprout, teppanyaki mushroom/chicken/beef/lamb, chawanmushi, gyoza, fruits and ice lemon tea). It was a really filling lunch. Then we walked around Suntec and Marina Square.
On our way home, suddenly the car flashed a symbol. Managed to check the car manual to find out that the symbol stands for engine malfunction and that the car needs servicing. My dad drove to the service centre. Cos the car may stall anytime, it was hospitalised. My family and I had to take a bus then mrt home. When we reached yck, it was about to rain. Having only an umbrella, my siblings and I decided to run home to prevent getting caught in the rain. However, we were always stuck at the traffic lights and my parents who were walking managed to catch up with us. hahas. My dad was saying about the tortise winning the hare in races.
We were supposed to go to my grandma's house but because of the car, we can't now. And we bought her polar cakes! My dad was saying let's have them for dinner. Without the car, we have to think about dinner cos my mum's not cooking. Pizza delivery? hahas.

Sat for the PSC PAE test yesterday at HCI. Cos the letter wrote HCI, I thought it was the sec school section, even the security guard told me so and in the end, Audrey, Peixuan and I walked for close to 30min trying to find the location for the test. It was at the jc section! We sat for 4 papers. The first was general reasoning, spotting patterns. I enjoyed this test. hahas. It was quite fun to do. The second was numerical reasoning. I think I'm relying too much on calculators and so for this test, without calculator, I did it really slowly. Didn't managed to complete this paper. :( The third was verbal reasoning, where there were short passages and you must pick true/false/can't tell for the statements they provide. I was kinda confused between false and can't tell. hahas. The last was personality test. There were 240 qns! But it was a rather fun test. It made me understand myself better. Hopefully when the report comes out during August, it won't be that bad. hahas.
Had lunch at Crystal Jade with my sis! (:
Met Jacq at bishan and took the train all the way to Pasir Ris. We boarded the bus that will take us to the chalet at downtown east. Luckily we met Zixiang and Letts on the bus, if not both of us would be lost. hahas. Cos I only know which busstop to alight but not sure how to walk to the place. When we reached there, I was kinda surprised. Cos I've never been to that place before and my impression of chalets are big, like my sec 4 class's chalet, but this is small. It's only 1 room with 1 toilet. So when we entered the room, it was squeezy, stuffy and really noisy. hahas. The 4 of us when to an empty bbq pit to play cards. Tracy and Kok later joined us. Tracy taught us a new game and it was really fun to play! (: After eating a few satays and hotdogs, Jacq, Zixiang, Guanhao and I got a birthday cake for the june babies and desserts for ourselves. (: Chocolate fudge! Anyway, went back to the bbq pit to eat. So chatted, ate, took photos... It was a really noisy but lively bbq. hahas.

On friday, there was cohort gathering at sng! I don't think the attendance was bad but people come and go in batches, that's why it seemed so scattered. Attendance for 4L'07: Jacq, Jaspang, Ben, Aud, Gloria, Laypeng, Monica, Peiting, Estee and me! hahas. I managed to eat chocolate waffle! (: And orange bowl! Although there was no more guo tiao mian, the mee fen was still really nice. I miss sng canteen food alot alot alot! After eating, we took photos at the hockey pitch. I'm so sad the school is going to be demolished at the end of the year.

Today's my last cip session at keming primary school. Feel kinda sad to leave. I actually enjoyed tutoring the kids maths. hahas. Cos they are a really friendly and lively bunch of people. Hopefully they will do well for their PSLE. (:
After CIP, JiaWen, PeiXuan, Audrey and I went to Northpoint for lunch. We went to Westmall on Monday, Lot1 on Tuesday and now Northpoint. There is a wide variety of food at Northpoint. In the end, we settled for a japan-themed foodcourt! It is really cool. I like the design and the food isn't that expensive too. All the food sold at this foodcourt is jap! (: After a really full and satisfying lunch, we went to get ourselves icecream! The auntie there is really friendly. She gave us free samples of the different flavoured icecream to try cos we couldn't decide on the flavour to buy. And when I was stuck between strawberry or strawberry cream (there's a difference okay!), she decided to give me both flavours in a single scoop! So nice rite. I could enjoy both flavours! hahas. We went shopping while eating the icecream. We played with soft toys, especially the carebears! We also read cookbooks, especially the ones for desserts! Cakes, cupcakes, cookies... Really nice!
