Something that I noticed recently since I start schooling. I tend to get tired easily and sometimes my body feels so weak that I just need to sit down or lie down so that I wont fall. I think it's because of the train rides everyday that makes me lethargic by the end of the day.

And one more thing, the train ride to Tanjung Pagar costs a BOMB!!! Seriously, I just topped up $20 last week and today, I saw my ezlink card balance. And it left $5+ only. Haiz.

Right. Ciaoz for now. So sleepy.

It's time to blog!!!
16th May
Chalet day!!! Farhan did not have school that day because it was the centre's training day so he was at home. Played and talked to him in the morning. Then after zohor prayers, went to fetch my grandmother atBukit Panjang. And before that, took some photos with my cutest nephews in the whole wide world. Then I head to Bukit Panjang. Halfway there, my student called me and asked me to come cos he had corrections to do. At first, I decide not to come cos I have not finished packing my things for the chalet and it will be very rushing but in the end I agreed to him.

I dont know how I managed to reach Afzal's place at exactly 5. But I did. And after teaching him, I rushed home. Pack the leftover stuffs and go for chalet.
Reaching there, found out that I left my glasses and also contact lenses for the days that I'm at the chalet and also left my medicine and supplement at home.

What are u looking at, Farhan?

His eyes are bigger than mine!!

I have a very handsome nephew.


17th May

Second day of chalet. Cannot sleep due to the air-con and also the uncomfortable mattress and I dont have any bolster to hug. Woke up early to go back home to get my contact lenses and head back to chalet.

Then at 1.30 met Syaz at City Hall MRT. Watched P.Ramlee the Musical. So fun. I enjoyed it very much. And what surprised me the most was Liza Hanim's vocals. She had a really great voice. I mean people dont really notice her because she's not that pretty but she has talents. Both singing and acting. Overall a great musical and it's the first time that I watched a musical. Had fun watching it.

After the musical, we cam-whored for a while before heading back.


Hello there. Talk to me.


After the 3-hr long musical.






18th May

Went Wild Wild Wet with my family and cousins. Had great fun there. But went there for a while only because we were bored of the things there because I had been there for several times.

Went home after Maghrib. Home sweet home. I missed my bed, pillows and bolsters the most.


His first encounter with chlorine water.




The elder brother was also afraid of the water and going down the slides.


19th May

JASLINE'S WEDDING.

Reached her house at 8 a.m. Jane fetched me downstairs where we saw Eleanor downstairs. Then went up Jasline's house. She looked so pretty in her bridal gown. Then Eunice came. We didn't know that we were her "sisters".

As it's my first time attending a Chinese wedding, I didnt know what to expect. Joneus went her house. And then we had to ask him questions like, " What is Jasline's favourite song?" and etc. It's to distract the groom and make him difficult to get the bride. But yup he passed the test after many obstacles.

Then went to Joneus house for the ROM thingy and then tea ceremony. There was also Lion Dance. Took photos and then Jasline changed into the traditional chinese costume before heading back to her own house for the tea ceremony again.

With the pretty bride.

The bride and groom.



Then after the tea ceremony. Sab and Sarah came. So talked to them and then we head home together. Not really home lah but Sab and Sarah went to have dinner while me, I met up with Xinyu and Hazwani at Changi Airport. Had our dinner before heading home.

In conclusion, attending Jasline's wedding was something interesting. And I can compare the cultural differences in celebrating a wedding.

Congrats to Jasline :)



21st May

Met Hazwani at Tampines. As usual, Hazwani was late. So we brisk walked to TM to buy the tix for Congkak. Luckily the tix were still available.

Overall, Congkak was good. And, I HATE THE SOUND EFFECTS! It made me scared. And some parts, I was sort of whining till Hazwani say that I sound like I wanted to cry. But seriously, it was not scary. Not like Shutter type of scary. The sound effects made the movie scary.

And other ppl were not like US. You know what I mean? Like US meaning, we cover our eyes with our scarf. Stupid. I know. And as usual, the "ghost" face is black. Like in Jangan Pandang Belakang".


22 May

Graduation ceremony. Just perfectly normal. Get to don the Harry Potter look alike cloak. Hehe. Seriously, wearing it, I feel like I'm in the Harry Potter movie. No embarrasing incidents either. For me, I mean. But for other there were. My dad met quite a number of his friends. Like his friend is my age. This guy from Mechatronics who used to work at Airport also. A lot of surprises actually. Like ppl I know, my dad know their dad. Something like that lah. Actually, that day, didnt take a lot of pics. Like I cant find some ppl. So in the end, just return the attire and then head for lunch at Tamp Int with my parents.

In the evening, went out with Khai to Bedok and then to Bugis to see Topman/Topshop sale. Nothing that he like in there. Me too. He said that Bugis Street clothes are more appealing than than Topman/Topshop. I agree with him. Ppl like me, who have limited amount of money, cannot buy clothes from Topman/Topshop. But if i have the money, maybe I'll buy one nice dress or top or denim from there.


Oh yah. An encounter with a not so normal lady. I was talking to Khai abt Ya Kun Kaya's bread and how they are a different colour from the normal bread that we eat at home. And suddenly, this lady overheard what we were saying and said some things like " Org melayu memang takde duit punya org." Means, we malays have no money. And she shouted some other stuff. Actually stuff that had nothing to do with Ya Kun Kaya. Whatever. I was so scared that she might attack us. And I think ppl were looking at her and US. I think.

24th May

Went Madrasah Al- Irsyad carnival with Kak Aidah. Watched magic tricks from Imran the famous magician. Then we bought some food from the carnival. Then, head home.


26th May

Start of school! Yes! Report at Learning Capital at 9. Then after doing some admin stuffs, the whole group of us went in search of early lunch. And the 8 of us who are my classmates, walked ard Tanjung Pagar, trying to find nice food. In the end, the group split into two. With the other four finding food and the other four, which was my group, went to Starbucks to chill as we were not hungry.

A sort of get to know session at Starbucks. Getting to know each other's background. Nice ppl. Different backgrounds, different age.

Already on the first day, we had assignment that must be completed by 3rd of July. Haiz. Whatever.

31st May

As the GSS is on,went out with Khai to City Hall to window shop. Why window shop? Because we have no $$. Sad. Surveyed the Crumpler bags at Raffles City. Walked around Marina before heading home.



And Khai, sorry because I'm always late when I'm meeting u. Actually, we shouldnt argue on the phone yest cos my mom was beside me. And my mom's impression of u was not good u know. Anyways, never mind. And next time, try telling me earlier that u want to meet me so I can manage my time before meeting u.
