okay. many things happened after 23feb. so let me try to recall them down here and hopefully add in my own thinkings and feelings...i'd a busy week after that sat..all the nights are out except for tue.

[24th Feb, Sunday]

it was my church's 18th anniversary that day! my church's bday. i was serving by playing tgt with boy. nice. i'm glad all went well. kah hwee was leading :) oh. wait. there was a bit of cock-up. i went down to fetch jia wen and zhiwen and so i ended up being late and stall the service starting time. kah hwee then commented tat i had so much power. haha. but i did feel bad. nxt time, i'm never going to do tat! but i'm glad..very happy that they came! i'm glad they enjoyed themselves and din feel very awkward throughout the service.

when i was playing the keyboard in front, can see their 2 heads popping out lah. so funny. then, there was the video presentation. thanks kah hwee! it's very nice and beautiful! and some pics were really long time ago. haha. then, there was the choir special item! awesome! jeremy and matthew sang solo really very well!! esp jeremy. hit all the pitches and notes correctly! and project his voice though the mic's not working =)

pastor seah was preaching that day. and somehow, it's pretty short compared to his previous sermons. i wonder if it's cos i stay alert this time round or tat day's jus special such tat it's short. hmm. but anyway, i lyk his sermon. esp the analogy on real and artifical flowers. both zw and jw lyk it too. mm. and i'm glad zw enjoyed his experience at chr..read it on his blog :)

after church, i had my first lesson with the myanmar kid! and i totally enjoyed it! i was super happy and elated la! taught him maths and a little eng.. but i overshot my time. spent too much time on maths. din noe he'll take quite a long time on eng cloze passages. so i ended up extending by abt 10-15mins. he was very attentive. thanks Leo! taught him maths by drawing pics for the problem sums..fun. chatted with zw on the phone on the way home. the bus journey was SUPER LONG!

oh well. after that day of teaching, i jus realised how much pressure there is on me. it's lyk the child's whole education rests on my shoulders. man. i muz do well. i muz teach well so that the child will get the best education from me! pressurizing....

[25th Feb, Monday]

thank God i passed my evaluation test! despite failing 9 booklets outta 10 booklets for the practice, really wanna thank God! i passed on the dot somemore. so i muz work doubly hard for my real final theory test date on 18march!!!

[26th Feb, Tuesday]

din go out at night. ie. din go out for dinner. so i'm really glad to take a break. finally. to spend dinner at home and spend some time with my family. and boy! doesn't it make a difference! seriously! having not been home for many nights, i didn't even noticed the brand of rice we used as changed for a few days already! when i commented it to my sis, she said it has been tat for a few days..man..look how often i'm not home for dinner! sigh. it was quite sad..

but the happiest thing is when my sis and my bro joined me for dinner. that's when they started sharing all sorts of funny things and tales. and also when we talk serious lyk reuben's CCA. well, as an elder sis, i'm glad i was able to voice out my opinion and give my advice when he is receptive to hear. sigh. sometimes, it's jus so hard to catch the right time. but i realised tat it's over dinner table tat it's the best setting and atmosphere. thank God for letting me see it! =)) and thanks for giving me that one night to spend with them..

so i hurriedly did wad i nid to do b4 going out to meet zw. he came over to fetch me (thanks for that) and started walking to railmall. okay. nid him to fetch me cos the walk to railmall is simply too dark in my opinion. and i have no buses that will bring me there. so i'm glad he fetched me and i got to tell him all my exciting tales too! headed off to the prata shop. suppose to eat prata wan but we ended being too full from dinner and jus had a drink and chatted. thanks for the treat! i din forget that! =) and the "cup" of milo i ordered doesn't seem lyk a cup...it literally seems lyk a bowl! a soup bowl! it was tat big. but at least it was very tasty and nice!

thereafter, i reached home and decided to do a dedication to him.not wanting to call Yaz and have my voice aired throughout singapore, i emailed her. but it's to my regret la! it took super long to be aired. both zw and i waited lyk crazy and were super tired. we had to wait for 1hour 15mins b4 it was heard on the radio! grr. halfway through, i got tired of waiting and decided to call. but can't get through. boo. so it was read out only at 12.30am. sigh. such a long wait. but i'm glad you like it and caught it on your mp3! jus a pity neither of us took notice of the song being played for this dedication! haha.

[27th Feb, Wednesday]

so on this day, i met yi xian for dinner. prior to that, alvin was nice and took the train with me to vivo there. he also wanted to buy his new HP over there with his family. i was supposed to meet yx at 6.40pm. but at exactly that time, he called and told me he just left his office at aljunied!! i was not so happy abt it. well, at least i am able to kill them by buying cards tat i nid urgently...

alvin accompanied me to Page One. i was so mesmerised by the volume of books available there! it's been a long time since i had stepped into a bookshop. i was almost carried away by the books available and had to remind myself to head to the gifts section to buy cards...

the cards were lovely! at least there were quite a number of options for me to choose from under the theme "friendship" =)) so took my pick. and actually alvin guessed correctly tat i was buying for him and the colleagues but i refused to tell me so. ha. so i picked 4 cards, each one of a different design for the individuals. it was hard deciding. esp when i got a call not long later tat yx had arrived..

so i intro-ed alvin to yx and vice versa then parted with alvin. yx and i then headed to Terra Cafe since that's the only restaurant i know tat sells vegeterian food =) and i'm so happy that there are 6 choices for him! and the soup was vegeterian too! and it was super delicious! :) so we caught up a bit though i was wondering why he's pretty quiet..

when i questioned him on tat, he said he had always been so. hmm. i guess times has changed. we used to tok alot on the phone and quite comfortably. but now, hmm. perhaps the long breaks in communications jus made the situation lyk tat. oh well. at least i got to know his nature of the job better =) took nice photos at the rooftop too. oh yar. yes. we did walked a bit there. and it was much more crowded than usual. oh well. nevertheless, it was nice to be able to meet up with him, catch up and see the gentleman side of him when he asked me to sms him when i've reached home and walked me to the bus interchange :)

[28th Feb, Thursday]

wad happen on this day...hmm..oh! BSF. yar. finally we started on the discussion qns. and it was really hectic. ie. we had to screen through the whole book of matthew to answer the qns. haha. but it was a good time of sharing. new ppl joined us too! Betty and Kim! and when i first saw Kim, she looked lyk a foreigner. later on, i realised tat she's waiting for a work permit from singapore. no wonder. but i still din get to find out where she's from. she looked a bit frightened and definitely quiet. i hope to be able to tok to her soon and make her feel comfortable!

i started toking to sabrina too. find out which course she's in and more abt it. it's pretty cool..cardiology..but i do miss toking to aik wei. mm. ok. back-track a little..i ate at Lau Pat Sat with Le Jing for dinner! nice and cool! haven't been there for a long time....n LJ was pretty surprised to see the stalls selling satay and that they closed the roads to lay the tables..haha

[29th Feb, Friday]

finally. the long-awaited day. the focus isn't on that it was my last day of work at JTC..but that we all get to go out together! the temp staffs and i. they were really nice to agree to celebrate with me. and even nicer to treat me to both lunch and dinner. plus the BIG surprise they had for me!! =))

well, we decided to take an extra long lunch break and headed for IMM. ate at Streets. the food prices were not too bad..at least better than BayStreet21. and somehow we all ate Baked Rice. haha. we all jus have that craving. and they all ordered drinks. but me being me, i din order any. but we took a funny photo where i was pretending to drink from all the cups. and to think none of them are mine..haha. so before we had our meal, we asked one of the customers to help us snap a photo with some of the food. the guy was so nice and took not bad a photo :)

okay, the next best thing was the surprise (it was actually b4 the lunch..hmm). initially, i heard them talking about "he is here". i tot it was zw but when i went over to the desk, he wasn't there. so i jus shrugged my shoulders and brush the tot aside. and somehow, i jus hanged arnd the desk toking to the guys. until jia wen reminded me to make up and the other guys had to go upstairs to give the timesheet. so okay. when i came outta the washroom, only jw was there. i sat arnd and started cam-whoring with jw. then, the guys emerged from that lower partition where the cargo lift was from and held on to a big plastic bag. and in it, was the board that they gave me! lovely ain't it? a really nice surprise! and i hardly get surprises. haha. it was really sweet of the guys to give me their well-wishes..really unexpected. and of course, happy to see zw there =)

on it, were their letters. and alvin drew a very BEAUTIFUL picture of a rose!! very lovely sketch! it totally rocks la! jia wen wrote an extra long letter..and the words still hard to read..haha. zw designed the letter really nice..vines and leaves. and yc, the most interesting of them all, wrote a letter to me in CHINESE!! haha. and yes. had to read slowly and patiently. haha. thanks alot guys! i really appreciate it alot ALOT!! =)) puts a smile on my face whenever i see it...

after that, we camwhore in the office. for about one hour!! super long! perhaps it's cos my high standards? oops! well, one thing i'm thankful for is that Meiyun agreed to help us take some photos. else we can't get a photo with the cleared Location 15A as the background and this really short door partition. yar. thanks lots gal! and jia wen had a hard time smiling. haha.

thereafter, the remaining 4 of us (cos yichen got something on that night) headed down to city hall. ate at Kenny Rogers! it had been on my mind since the day before. at first, i wanted to look at downstairs the food places. but thinking that I am more or less bent on Kenny Rogers and that the guys look a bit tired, i decided to jus go for it though the food ain't that cheap. And it's a pity that we gotta wait for a while before being seated. thankfully, i took that chance to decide tgt with the guys on wad to eat and wad side dishes to order. hmm. and i wonder why they din say much when i wanted only 2 main courses.

anyway, tat's wad we ordered! 2 main courses to share among 4 ppl!! pretty amazing right? considering that 3 of them are guys! but both jia wen and zhi wen ate until they were very full while alvin's 55% full and i'm 80% full. haha. and the guys kept teasing me on my BIG appetite. i wonder why i ate so much tat night too! i know i can eat alot but not this much! haha. muz be cos i'm mentally prepared to eat K. Rogers and partly cos it's been a long time since i'd eaten there and partly cos the food's nice!! esp the ribs. the marinated sauce is superb! =)) I hope the guys like it there too! and thanks for the treat guys! it was really unexpected!

after dinner, we walked to esplanade. heard that alvin has never been to rooftop so we decided to pop by there! it sure was nice to go back up there again! and see the city skyline! =) took a number of nice pics.. then, we walked the esp bridge heading to merlion there. stopped by several times to snap lots of photos. but i felt pretty bad too. cos when we were taking photos, ppl can't cross. oops. sorry! but nice photos were taken. there was this guy tat i approached and when i asked for the favour, i realised he can't understand english very well! and he doesn't say a single word to me. at one time, he even stood beside the guys thinking that i want to take a photo of him and my frens! but thankfully i got my msg across and he took the best picture of all! =) look!

okay. this was under the road...after setting the camera on self-timer. it's pretty risky too cos ppl can jus snatch the camera and run off. was warning alvin of it. and we also took photos at the merlion there but dun wish to post them here...

finally, this photo was snapped when zw and i were walking back to esp to take bus home. had to do black-and-white cos my camera is pretty lousy when taking night photos. well, i like this photo very much (:

well, all in all, just wanna thank zhiwen, jia wen, alvin and yi chen for giving me this wonderful memory! will never forget you guys! keep in touch!

[1 March, Saturday]

taught the myanmar boy in the morning. heard the sound of bell that chimes only at 12noon every first day of the month. i was trying to explain to him but i dun think he grasp it fully. thereafter, the mum was very nice to give me lunch. food was great and delicious! thanks lots! and so i sat there and started toking to the family. it was nice having to chat with them. the younger brother can speak english very fluently too. a handsome chap, no doubt.

after that, headed to yuan ru's house (alvin's neighbour). talked a while to the mum then started teaching the child on the spot. on classification. at first, i was hesistant to teach on the spot since i haven't read it myself yet. but i still ended up just reading from the notes and explaining a bit more than wad is written on the book.

[2 March, Sunday]

so there was church. wrapped up the lesson with watching a video on a lady talking about the value of the 10 commandments. she often links back the to commandment no 1 that God is real. amen. a pretty interesting insight...

however, i kinda fell ill with flu. a pretty bad one. i tried to take med, the non-drowsy one, but it din work. but still, i rushed through my work, doing the priority 1 work so i can go out with zw to watch a movie. thankfully, i finished them but was telling zw to take care of me since i'm not that well. haha. a bit thick-skin i know.

in the end, we headed down to The Cathay. bought a pair of tickets to watch Away From Her at PICTUREHOUSE!!! my first time watchin a movie there! and they gave the tix in a pouch! interesting! and the movie price is the same as any other weekend movie. the only special thing about picturehouse is that they show films that you wun catch on normal cinemas. and well, it was pretty full-house. hmm. so we sat 2 rows from the front. a bit neck pain and back pain but the movie was still nice. and definitely, i'm grateful for the care and concern zw showed thru his qns =) thanks!

we ate at this hotdog cafe. not bad. quite nice in fact. the hotdog comes with different types of sauces. and they also sell other main course. we ordered this french fries that comes with bologonise sauce! and i ordered a hot-dog sandwich with mushroom swiss! pretty cool hor? another cool thing is that they say they can deliver the food right up to your cinema seat! but we din la. we ate there at the cafe since picturehouse din allow any food and that we had some time left. another cool thing is that they allow customers to use their com n serve the net! so i was pretty happy cos i haven't been on the com for the past few days... here's a picture for memory!

[3rd March, Monday]

finally. today was nothing much. jus rushed outta the house unnecessarily and realised it's not time for tuition at my condo's carpark. okay. so went back in and waited for time to pass. headed to a photo shop to print photos and got cheated a bit of money. cld have gotten the same size of photos elsewhere at a much MUCH cheaper price. but i hope the ppl whom i'm givin to like it still. it was pouring..tat's abt all. nothing interesting i guess..oh! except that i was told i have to teach tml!! it came as a shock cos i was so looking fwd to go for the lunch tml at JTC!!! i was so sad and disappointed. and have to disappoint the guys too... :( my mum lor..told her boss tat i'll work the nxt day and totally forgot abt my lunch. sigh. oh well. see how tml then!
