these few days will be spending quality time with my Dar b4 he leaves for thailand... staying over @ his place and mummy agreed!hees..:) so happy...actually on wednesday or even the day b4 that, we have decided to go cycling on thursday, setting off from east coast and our destination is changi airport.. oh well, on thursday reaching Dar's place @ 12 plus to put moi heavy bag down so that i dont need to carry so many stuff but juz a small bag...we had lunch 2gether @ his place then getting ready to set off b4 its too late cuz the cycling trip will be quite a long journey... we must be very lucky as that day was a reali fine and sunny day~ and he was so happy that i was going to get sun tan... anyways when we reached east coast, we went to this bicycle rental near the mac.. initially we were suggesting a 2-person bike but then i changed moi mind on the spot, thinking that i should be able to cycle all the way to changi moiself...THINKING that it might be a challenge 4 me, so end up we took one bike each...then we SET OFF....
i didnt know the end of east coast was such a long journey, at least moi legs didnt give way though they started to hurt especially when i m going up slope...! we took about an hour or so to reach this place somewhere near the airshow area? not to sure the exact location of this place but we did take fotos of it...
thats where 2 accidents happened here...we parked our bikes and suddenly moi bike collapsed...and so we started taking fotos... there was this foto which we wanted to take 2gether and he put the camera on his bag for support... due to the fact that the bag was not a straight surface, and it will move, the camera came thumbling down the hard ground!!! OMG, moi Dar's heart was totally sunk cuz that camera is a newly bought one and now juz this fall, it cause some scratches at the back and a dent in the front camera... well i really dunno wad to tell him, can see that he is really saddened abt it, i can only tell him its an accident and that since its under warranty, can go and ask how it can be done about it...
we tried to continue our journey not thinking so much about the camera if not it will dampen our mood for the day and i know thats something he wont want to happen...sometimes i feel that i muz learn from him, no matter how bad a situation is, he wont show it on his face...however when i m not in a good mood or not happy or in any way he can juz see through and that affect him..hmm muz change this bad thing of mine.. thats something i learnt b4 from Adam Khoo "changing your state of mind" to suit the people around u so that either parties wont be affected and this wont spoil the day... anyways, we continue our journey all the way to changi airport...however, when we were cycling along this road, moi legs were too tired and moi legs gonna give way, so i intended to switch gear, i think i turned too much till the gear wire came loose and we have to stop to get it fixed... this is real hard as the wire was stuck in btween and its really hard to take it out...eventually Dar's hands were covered with grease whereas mine was only slightly filthy.. the more we washed with water, the worst it became.. 3 things happening in a row b4 we reached our destination...
as we were cycling, saw this breakwater, and he decided to bring me in this grassy land towards the breakwater area...oh moi...this grassy land resembles the place in this show called the Tofu Street...
then we went to the breakwater, oh moi...the view there was so nice and splendid!! and its real cooling~
okie we have a long way to go so after some cam-whoring session, we proceed on again all the way to changi airport there... Dar was telling me during their 72km route road, they needed to walk this endless pathway and all of them hated it as its really endless! we timed ourselves how long will we take to cycle finish this whole stretch of route and after ten mins twenty mins, that route was still endless!!! by now, moi legs were super exhausted and the energy was drained!! i really needed a rest! so we decided to settle down in the middle of the endless path under some small hut to take a short break.. at this time its 2 hours plus of cycling since we departed from east coast...
break time is really a short one!! after drinking some water and catching moi breathe and wiping off our sweat, looking at planes taking off one by one, soon there he goes " lets set off back to east coast after this plane fly arh!"... in moi mind, i was like oh no... i hate this route...its so long...i was complaining that how i wish there will be a car to drive us back...he was motivating me and asking me to hang on...
ha ha and guess wad moi legs gave way a few times and nearly knocked him off his bicycle as i could not even control it moiself... lolx.. anyways managed to endure all the way back to east coast by 7pm!!! its a real real real good experience for me siaz! but that night moi buttocks hurt so much after that long cycling ride..BUT i enjoyed it...HOWEVER, if next time we are going to cycle to changi village which we did say so, i am gonna get a 2-person bike!!!!!!!! no more one person bike!.
we went to the nearest toilet to get ourselves cleaned up b4 proceeding to burger king to have a light meal as both of our stomaches are already growling!...
then we went to parkway there to take bus to PS to catch our movie - L: change the world @ 9pm @ the cathay... lolx. i bought a jacket for him but actualli its specially for the movie cuz both of us were wearing sport attire neither do we have jacket and afraid that inside the cinema we will freeze...but that jacket is nice and worth it=p...and most importantly is that he likes it...:)
FINALLY i catch this movie - L!!! after watching death note 1 and 2, and that when this show first being advertised... i already told moiself that no mater what i MA GOING TO WATCH IT IN CINEMA!! 2 hrs and 10 mins of duration..no regrets..!!!
after the movie, its our supper time!!!! we packeted chicken rice and wanton noodle back to his home to eat~...
AND.....
SWEET DREAMS...!

its already thursday early midnight now...i juz couldnt imagine time really passes very fast & wait for no man...
ended up decided to go and play table tennis with Dar @ toa payoh safra..its been a long time since i played table tennis...if i didnt remember wrongly, since the day of SR table tennis ended the school tournament, i haf not touched the bat for this long.. so kinda rusted already...we played 4 2 hours, ha ha ha i still dont have that "table tennis feel".. but still its always good to exercise!!
after that Dar sent me all the way from toa payoh to CDC to have moi driving lesson!hees so hapy siaz!!:) i finally resumed moi driving again after getting over the sad experience! and moi fixed instructor told me he was so surprised to see moi name appear in his palm cuz he didnt expect me to go back driving so early when moi test date is only in april.. but the thing is that i cannot seem to find any available slot except for today.. and he told me he haven submitted his schedule tts why i cannot see =.="...as he juz came back yesterday and today resumed working as well!! anyways, my instructor was telling me that on the day of moi test day, after my warm up, balloting and everything..my warm up tester actually saw my tester and he told my fixed instructor that " oh no, your girl actually got that guy....she is real unlucky la..." why unlucky is becuz this tester is anyhow demerit you points out of no reason...oh well...like moi instructor tells me, no choice los since i got this tester, and keep consoling me that its really alright cuz i keep telling him that i really disappointed him and dunno how to face him ... its juz something that i couldnt put down all this while cuz i failed moi driving on his birthday which he purposely cancelled his off day to come down to CDC to support me and all along knowing that i could do it... AND YET......
dont feel like talking about it anymore... my instructor told me i did well today being in circuit or on the road...i can still remember everything since after moi test day without him prompting me in anything...though i am encouraged and motivated but still something is juz holding me back which made me having phobia of my second driving test... i know that its my own problem, and i have to deal with it myself and help myself...
well, DAr is leaving for thailand this saturday.. gonna spend these few days with him b4 we were be separated for a month... and tonight he's @ zouk with his camp mates..he really deserved the enjoyment!...

tuesday, as usual moi working day... without the use of internet everything was very inconvenient ..end up i ahve to do filing and the normal admin work to pass moi time... but eventually i survived till 6pm!! 6.30pm meeting jason at eunos MRT..he oso working near me ..its been quite a long time since i last saw him.. have no idea wad happened that we stopped meeting each other ever since he got back from new zealand.. anyways we are fine now.. back to our normal buddy-buddy state again...anyways today our main motive is to buy birthday for moi kor caleb..his 21st birthday is around the corner which is this saturday!!...we have no idea wad to buy for him..especially guys!! its really hard to buy things for guys la..very limited! unlike girls.. so we were walking around the whole of bugis junction cracking our heads inside-out thinking wads best for him, wads very practical and real useful... end up jason went to kinokuniya to get his comics (as usual - he's a comic craze..!!!) cuz we cannot find wad to buy.. but we die die also muz get something today...
so after walking for so long..clothes shop, watch shop, wallet shop, sports shop....and end up we stopped at espirit...and this bag caught out eyes... so we decided that we will get this bag.. and some other stuff for him like clothes or bermudas to go with...cuz he's lacking of clothes sometimes...
so we were thinking that we shall eat our dinner first and consider everything!! so end up we went to this eatery place known as Hip Diner @ USA by billy bombers to have our dinner... the food was not bad especially the snail chicken and cheese..its so cheesy... well...we didnt spend a long time eating there..cuz we still need to get our stuff and everything..so after eating the main course, we went to buy the bag!! finally one item down...
soon after, moi Dar messaged said that he booked out already...if can we can meet up for a while since he will be coming to bugis to buy his neccessities for his thailand training trip which is coming soon!.. so since we have bought moi kor's bag, so called settled a bit already, went to find him...
we went to starbucks to have a drink and relax a little, initially we wanted to watch L- change the world... but by the time we finished watching, it will be midnight so we only manage to walk around bugis and mustafa(to get moi stuff)...then we ate super and its time for me to go home..kinda late already!!...
well prelims are approaching...and its next week!! but the only subject that i really fully prepared is moi MM...other than that nothing get into moi head tho i went thru moi notes... plus Dar is leaving for thailand soon for one month so he is having off until 1st march..and when he comes back, he will be ORD-ing!! one month is real long siaz!
its late now...should tuck in for the day!!!...
mustafa shopping....>>
in the afternoon, i took moi office lappy to AIA Alexandra which is the main branch to get this internet explorer problem fixed.. if not whenever i am working, i wont be able to use internet which is relaly boring u see... anyways when i reached Alexandra, the place is so much different from AIA @ changi (eunos). i am totally lost..when asked for directions for so manmy times i still cannot find the IT department. and the funny thing is those people working in this building they themselves doesnt know where is the IT room as well!!=.=".. i only know that i was supposed to go to the second level which was instructed by this person over the fone.. second level area was so small..look left glass door office, look right oso glass door office..i haf no idaea which way to go..looking at the signs make me worst cuz there wasnt any signs for IT room!!!..well..end up i were asking ppl that were waiting for lift hoping that they do know BUT none knows. they still ask me to ask around!! what the... never mind..so i saw this guy toking over the fone..he seems to know and prayed hard he does!! and yes he directed me...moi saviour for the day!!..well..finally after half an hr or so, i managed to find the place which is like so hilarious for me!...its true to say that when u r in an unfamiliar place, u definitely feel lost and scared! thats how i was feeling at that moment!...
went inside the IT room, tok to this girl abt moi lappy adn she helped to check everything.. but still no avail.. after one hr of trying, moi lappy still not yet fixed and she told me one thing...u go back and install this new service pack thing if not ur lappy wont support...but the thing is u dont need service pack to serve internet right...anyways i was kinda pissed off already..told moi boss and he was like not happy with the girl as well.. asked me to take down her name.. so end up i travelled all the way there, unsolved prob still remained unsolved...whats the point..!! i am gonna going to find a way to solve this.. anyone can help me?.. haiz..
after that, went to hougang to have moi dinner b4 proceeding on to give tuition to these 2 kids at seng kang.. another headache!! i m okie teaching the girl..she's real obedient and hardworking..will listen to whatever u say and teach.. will do your work.. jot down whatever things she need to do.. 3 hrs of tution..one and a half each.. i have no prb with this girl.. its this younger bro of hers giving me trouble..he is onli in p2..fight in school, steal, cheat, lie, any bad things u name, he has done it..so he is so called famous in school in a bad way!
the sentence that he will say when u give him work to do is " i dunno how to do"..." and he thinks that he can get again with it..which is not for me!! i have o raise moi voice at him, scolding him, but i realised sometimes when u r 'soft' towards him, he will listen...teaching him is a real headache.. whenever i teach him, moi head will become very pain the whole day..cannot even focus on other stuff. sometimes i really feel like giving up not teaching him.. but then after thinking what moi fren told me "there are times in lives when what we do go unappreciated and perhaps taken for granted..we may feel sad and discouraged and thatis normal cuz thats our human side..but we can oso do and give our best and expect little or perhaps nothing in return..we ought to be appreciative for the ppl ard us and the things they input into our lives..but we muz oso accept the fact that unappreciative ppl do exist too..no matter how tough it is on u, u must hang in there & give ur best cuz we muz commit to what we have agreed to do..."
well i will try to give moi best and carry on with what i am supposed to do.. hoping that he will turn for the better!
met DAr they all @ 11.30 and we walked from changi village to take bus to this beach, is it called
changi beach?..ha ha actualli i have no idea whats the place called but then we found a shady place to sit down and watch the airplane performance which commenced at 12.30-1.45pm! its really kinda exciting if u really know how to appreciate such things.. there's one part whereby thee planes flew and created a heart shape..that really attracted everyone's attention. can see that everyone is looking forward to that particlar performance... anyways, we sat there for one hr or so, then proceeded to see the airshow... this is really comical...we didnt know that the entire walk is SO long ... and 5 of us were really walking and walking non-stop...tho' we see the place @ a distant but the image is getting smaller and smaller as we walked... i think we did walk for more than 45 mins bahx..worst is the weather is sorching HOT!...no kidding! after the walk, all of us were red on the face, neck, those areas that were exposed to the hot sun! but we do have so fun under the hot sun by cam-whoring in the "desert"... me and Jia were so fascinated about the "desert" that we took a few pix of it... we totally had no idea that it would be so far to walk in!...anyways FINALLY, we reached our destination, saw pan ling ling with the husband and children... now, problem arised again!... there were so many people queueing up for the tix..and time checked is 2 plus... we were calculating is it worth it to buy the tix...and then end up we forgo the airshow..cuz by the time we queue up to buy the tix it will be 3 plus 4...then go in still have to queue up to see the airshow which will be 5pm...and the entire event closes at 5pm!!! SO?!!! NOT WORTH IT!!!... so we decided to cab back to changi village instead of walking back!! ...now prob is we have 5 peeps... taxi starting fare is 8 bucks plus meter!!! maxi cab is 45 bucks...this is so outrocious siaz!!.. end up Dar's father asked 4 of us to take the cab and he himself walked out!!...Dar was kinda reprimanded by his dad 4 not taking initiative to take back the cab to go and fetch the dad.. well..anyways things were fine after that...
its near evening time... all of us went to tampines mall to have a walk and thinking of what to have for dinner! everyone was crowded with ppl! cuz its sunday!!...so end up we were choosing btw pizza and ding tai fung...eventually we had ding tai fung cuz faster queue..haha Jia was grumbling;)...p.s. its alrite girl...we can always eat again the next time..if not u can eat with ur frenz too yeah..!=p oh yah...b4 going for dinner, we were waiting for Dar's parents to reach TM cuz they were moto-biking... so me, Dar and Jia took neoprints!! well.. taking neos is part of moi life sia..still remembered when i was much younger especially with Sharon mei mei, we will definitely take neos once or twice a week or whenever we go out as memories. if i were to take out all the neos we took, it will add up to hundreds of them!!..anyways, neoprint machines in TM is very limited but we still manage to take and it came out pretty well.. suddenly i realised that i lagged in decorating!! i totally stoned when comes to decorating the neos!! ha ha ha maybe too long never touch le, lost track of it already!...
now back to dinner!! we forgo the airshow and now we enjoyed good food...when the bill came it added up to 80 bucks!!...if we were to watch the airshow it will be 100 bucks so we still save 20 bucks!! lolx...Dar's dad wa saying once in a while should be alrite..the food was nice juz that me still cannot really bite smoothly cuz moi mouth still hurt due to the 3-teeth extraction..hope the pain will go off soon! cuz its relaly killing me sometimes...
imagine u wont feel like doing anything when there's pain in you yeah!!...after we have Mac icecream for dessert and soon Dar was suppposed to book in!! sent Jia to interchange to take bus home well me sent Dar back to camp...!
whole day was spent like this.. well not bad though...its a day full of 'experiences'...
