sch hols are here!

Recently, or rather these two days, the mention of three word/phrases can make me happy...

1. hong kong
2. NIE
3. school holidays

:)

but i think it has kinda reached my LDMR (law of diminishing marginal returns), not smiling as widely as at the start... but nevertheless, I am grateful for all these and the people that have been good to me..

Updates for the past weeks...

Went prawning...


Went to this Imperial Jade Restaurant at Triple One, which is behind somerset 313.. I was quite surprised by the prices of the food as they were all around 10 plus dollars..




Then there was this day when I tried the fill-a-plate salad bar at Cineleisure.. For $8.90+, you get to fill your plate with whatever things they have at the bar. There isn't any meat, but you could add it to your plate at an extra charge.



It looks like I have this vegetable on my teeth... :/ It is actually just a gap.. Wanna go for braces soon :o


Then I went to Malacca for the first time last Sunday :o

We had this small adventure at the start of the day when we missed our stop. All because of someone who said that, that stop is just a toilet stop... and that person is me! ... :p We dropped off at the next stop after the JB stop, and no thanks to the train conductor, we did not know what to do or where to go. So, we had to walk back to the JB station... :s




I learnt something from Mak that day. Along the railway tracks, we saw some toilet paper lying around. I thought they were left by people who did their business near the tracks. Actually, they were dropped down from the trains that passed :o There is no sewage system on the train so whatever that passes through the toilet bowls, drop onto the tracks! ... :s ... yes, :6







I thought the saying above, was quite smart.. :p


I went kite-flying yesterday, but there is an error with the photos so the photos that I took yesterday, are gone.. :/

Appreciate-tion

Recently, after reading through my "Conversation with God" trilogy, I remembered how my friend, Adrian, always give thanks to all that appeared in his life. In the books, it says that, whatever you give thanks for, it will appear. So a "cheating" way of allowing things that has not appeared your life, to appear, is to give thanks for it first ( really believing you have it), and it will appear. I wonder how he can make it a habit...

I remembered I did this for a while, but as the days passed, it was slowly forgotten.. The list below, consists of the things that I am grateful for, and would want them to stay in my life, and for even more of them to appear....

• Money - I really want to thank ?? for always allowing me to have enough money to do what i want. Even when I am almost bankrupt, some sort of help will always arrive.
• Love - I really appreciate all the love I have from my family, my friends, my loved ones and strangers and animals and everything else... :p even though, sometimes, I may not recognize the way they communicate their love to me... :6 Another thing to mention, I am really happy that there are friends who are still here, despite my lack in initiative to ask them out... Thank you!!!
  
• Health - Thank ?? for my healthy body, that all my 5 senses and my four limbs are still working fine :o ... Especially my throat... I am super glad that it is working... :6
  
• Looks - :) ...... haha...
• Tuition assignments - Thank ?? for the assignments that arrived recently, so that I will not be too bored during the June hols, and that there will be extra income..
• Nice bags that I have... My MUJI backpack :o My fred perry "camera?" bag :o my fred perry barrel bag that I've just gotten recently :o (Randomz: It will be nice clothes next!)
• Helpful and nice colleagues :o
• students that like and respect me.
• people who accept my weirdness.. especially those who like me for it... :p
• my grandma when she is not shouting or being angry..
• ... my growing pile of nice clothes... ? ... :8
• my humility
• my goodness and my desire to be even "good-er"
• my ability to feel various range of emotions

think these should be all for now... :p ...

7 more school days with the kids before the school holidays!! :)

I think I am going to postpone the learning of a martial art, because of my new tuition assignment and because indian martial arts seems a bit too violent for me, after my friend added some descriptions of it... :s Think I would prefer the 借力打力 kind.. like tai-chi :o .. a more offensive kind la..

just realized that there's a lot to learn from the different parties for the elections this time round.. I didn't really bother about what has happened, but I guess it is important for me to know as I want to make a smart choice about who to vote for... Will read the papers about them later :o

Anyway... I will be learning Indian Martial Arts next weds :o ... :) I have always wanted to learn a kind of martial art...

I choose.... you :o

Missed my 2nd session of dragonboat training due to a relative who is in the hospital now... I was asked to go and see him because there were complications and if he cannot survive the difficult stages..... :s I left early just now and my brother told me that my uncle was given another injection, and things would be fine if he make it past the night... I was wondering whether my uncle wants to make it past this stage... (He is sort of in
a coma as he just had a brain operation last night..)

I have been more (less bored) for the past weeks :o because I've been more proactive in finding things to do...

• started to go to gym again last week (which is once.. :p )
• went to dragonboat for the first time last week
• started exercising regularly...
• bought clothes!! :p (this reminds me that I was a little depressed because of my wardrobe.. but it's okay now.. :p )

I think this is all for now.... anyway, something random.. I am so looking forward to entering NIE!! ... :6

Anyway, here are lots of back-logged photos... These are taken at IKOI, at hotel Miramar.











After GST and service charge, the buffet costs around $40 per pax. I think I am getting more used to eating buffets, because I didn't had the feeling that the food was going to come out from my mouth... :8

Remember the phrase "昙花一现"? This is a 昙花 :o I don't know how, but my family has it along the corridor and it bloomed the other night... and it just died the other day :/




.
.

Oh ya... I tried another different thing the other night.. Pool :o


It was fun :o I think it may be because I was kinda on a par with titus...

.
.
.



I think it is very useful to know different ways of praising a child :o ... "Good" doesn't really have much impact.. It's too general.. :/

.
.
.

The other day, I tweeted about seeing this pair of angel's wings in the sky... Here it is :o


... :)

"Mari kita rakyat Singapura...." .. :p


Oh, another first time thing.. Walked from City Hall to Raffles place.

.
.

Attended a friend's 21st bday gathering yesterday. He really put a lot of effort into it. It can be seen from the door gifts he gave to his guests, from the decorations.. really nice :o






I accidentally knocked the table and a cupcake fell off a short stand on the chocolate cake.. You can see the "bruised" duck in the above photo... :p

You can either live your life consciously, or just let it lead you...
It's your choice... It always is :o
