Well...it's super hot afternoon...
the words hot and afternoon should never come together cos when they do, they just make the day so unbearable.

Had driving in the morning 11am...it was pretty much the usual driving up and down. The driving just makes you feel so proud of yourself, cos it makes you feel like you're one with all the drivers out there without and 'L' or probation plate...haha. Then very seldom...(with emphasis on very seldom)...something like forgetting to see the red light happens which makes you feel like an idiot. I like just came out of the bukit gombak mrt station and around the corner(smthg like that) there's a crossing and I didn't look up to check the traffic light. I almost beat the light...and like a Malay woman was about to cross too...my instructor was like almost ready to pull on the handbrake. Then I still have a problem turning...so I turned the steering wheel a little too much when I was turning into a two-way street and almost went into the lane traveling in the opposite direction. Plus, there was a car there...so that driver must thought where the hell I was going and what in the world I was doing. haha...my parking was alright on Tuesday...but today it was like hell...I had once again forgotten the timings and I just can't get what exactly to look out for. I managed to do it twice out of a few times...so yes parking needs A LOT of work.

Tomorrow's the odac camp...so not gonna be able to see my baby this weekend...I hope the camp is fun..

=)

I'm missing you.
I'm thinking of you.
I think of the joy,
when I'm hugged,
when I'm kissed,
when I see your face.
I count the days,
wait for the calls every night,
to hear the sound of your voice.
Your voice,
makes me so happy inside,
it feels like you're here with me.
So please don't go away...

Today was an amazing day....haha...
woke up early ate my breakfast which was cereal and then took 156 to meet baby.

We bussed and walked to venus drive and began our walk to the tree top walk. We walked through the forest...looked in the streams and saw so many longkang fish....some so big, swimming around...they look like tiger barbs or something. We saw so many pond skaters too...we continued walking and baby talked about his trekking through the forest while doing navigation at night and where some of the checkpoints are along the way.

When we reached the tree top walk...the view was fantastic...it was starting to get a little hot too, but nonetheless, it was really good. We could see so far and even see the reservoir, I think it was the Seletar reservoir. Along the way we read these metal signs which were hanging along the way which wrote about the plants and animals to see around the place. We didn't see any animals but the plants were there. After that, we continued walking towards rifle range road. Baby showed me a trick his superior taught them with a leaf with a particular plant which could make this loud sound, like the ones which we make when we open those wet towels in the restaurant. I even got to see the 'CB' plant for the first time...they were everywhere along the way... and apparently you can eat the shoot. We walked along rifle range road and then after a long walk we came out at Jalan Anak Bukit...probable about 7 or 8 km baby said...but it was really good. Took 985 to BBDC and baby finally signed up for his driving classes there and after that we headed to baby's house, took a bath and then a nice nap.

Woke up, we watched some TV and took Tumble out for a walk. haha....she is the cutest thing when going up and down the stairs. We took her to the fish pond, which had new koi in it....plus some luo hans. Ran a bit here and there with her and then took her back upstairs. Played a few rounds of mahjong and then I went home.

I like days like this... :)

Today's Thursday!!!!
There's driving in the afternoon later...and I shall have to chiong lessons for next month...and hopefully get most of the lessons in before uni.
woohooo....
It'll finally be Friday tomorrow and baby and I will finally go to tree top walk and we're planning to walk all the way to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve I think...haha...

Yesterday...I was home alone for a while...
I've been wanting for that to happen for a while now.
Silence.
I must say I like the lunch I made for myself. It was koka instant mee, chicken flaoured, with the marrow vege that I love mummy to cook and steam fish from last night together with 4 dumplings. I have been having this craving for dumplings since last saturday or even earlier than that. It was really good...but I as hungry in no time again...and knowing my home...there's nothing to eat. Just corn biscuits and sesame biscuits. So I was left on my own to fight the urge to snack the whole afternoon and evening.
People poured back in in the afternoon...Kor came back form Malaysia...so the house is a bit more noisier now. I doing half hour runs again....which is good...just overshor by 30 seconds to get back home...better than Monday, where I got a shock when I had such a hard time even getting to 20 minutes

Tuesday was IJ campfire night...
After meeting Charmaine and Sherlyn, I headed over at about 6pm...met Erika, Ethel, Kailing, Mingjie and Deb...the firepit was impressive as well as the structure. They seemed rather well prepared...talked to Miss Lakshmi to catch up on how the coy's doing. The Campfire went really well, except firepit needed some help...seemed nobody really taught them the um...how to do it....they seemed pretty scared of the fire...so Erika, Ethel and I helped out some to help pull them through. It was great considering 2 campfires in a year...we only had to do one in our time...and it was like all hell broke loose or something then...rushing this...that's behind a little...so I'll give'em the credit they deserve. At least the PLC can relax now and go into sleep mode regarding guides...haha...

Erika and i talked to Mrs Tan about coming back to help'em out...cos it seemed the little important details and skills have been seriously lost on this batch and I think a few of the previous ones as well...hence resulting in the lack of knowledge in certain areas. They just need a boost and some person from a long ago batch (did I just make myself sound old?) to give them a little boost and bring back all the lost skills. I guess it would be a good thing to do before uni, since I've got no job now...cos I guess guides seemed to be the one thing that I really felt I could attain perfection in, or at least...I've somewhat reached my peak in regards to my personal standards. For dance there's always work to be done...not that I dislike that too. Had to tear Ethel away from packing another box of sausages from the refreshments so we could go home....haha...

Dancing is like dreaming with your feet

Well Monday passed slowly and so is today...
Spent the whole morning watching Brainiac on youtube...for those of you who don't know what it is...it's a really whacky science show that does weird experiments like blowing up trailers using different methods like static electricity and putting all sorts of things into microwaves to see if it'll explode...haha...
so as I was surfing around you tube I found this video on dancing with some really nice quotes in them...the guy's not professional...but he tries and I'll give him the credit for that...

I shall be heading out to join Charmaine before I head over to IJ campfire... =)

well...

that's the end of working for this holiday...I think...

I feel I've earned this break..my stamina for working has just waned...enough is enough. I should like chiong my driving lessons and try to get it done and over with soon.

I shall bum around like a shameless teenager who lives of her parents without giving back....haha...that was a bit harsh. My colleagues treated me to ice-cream at venezia...I had 2 flavours; dark choc and biscotti! Today was rush rush...had to get the management reports sent out. Print here, punch holes there, call the courier, make sure everything's in it's correct place and that it's sene out. On top of that, had to do some humongous filing for a pile of stuff for my boss...I didn't know where 60% of it belonged at all. Knowing me, I got really bothered by this...I mean it's fine if I don't get it, but I was just like really bothered why is it there was so much i didn't know the hell they were...but anyway. it was a good day...perhaps to do with the prospect that it was the last day. I was supposed to treat myself to a mocha ice-blended after work, but the queue was just so long. so headed home and planned to head out for a run, but I was just so tired...i felt like napping, but i can't nap cos if i do, i'll have a lot of problems sleeping tonight. My body is just screwed up...

Tomorrow baby and I are going to macritchie to walk the tree-top trail. hmmm...should be good day, just hope it doesn't rain or anything like that. =)

Well...I am home from work....

I just wish it were Friday, then I wouldn't have to work anymore. My stay at this company has been an eye-opener to the kind of people that exist in the corporate world...although the actual existence of some of them is truely shocking.

I really need more Grey's Anatomy epsiodes...I watched didn't manage to watch the last 4 episodes of season 2 because my mum had to give it away to her boss who was going to lend it to her daughter in the states. Although I have no idea why that's needed after all it's shown in the states...while over here, channel 5 chooses to screen things like desperate housewives at 10pm while (last time) Grey's Anatomy is shown at 12pm. I mean...I just don't get the rationale behind it. Now I've only watched season 3 till episode 15...and there are 10 more episodes.

ANYBODY? ANYBODY?!?!

I NEED MORE GREY'S ANATOMY!!!

Okay...Now I feel like some crazed fan or something. Anyway, Valerie has managed to rope me in to go for nusodac camp at the end of this month, which I am pretty excited about. I haven't been to things like this for such a long time. I miss kayaking too...

It is FRIDAY!!!

Well, the last day of work is officially next friday...I am so jinxed with the work-for-one-and-a-half-month thing.

Yesterday's driving was really good...I drove around the choa chu kang area for like 1 whole hour...the other half hour was spent practiciing my directional change....sheryl is so right, once you get the hang of it, driving is damn fun. I ust have problems changing gear, I tend to get the gear slotted into the wrong slot, which makes the engine stall if I do. The other thing being I haven't gotten the hang of turning into roads...I just cannot get the hang of how much to turn the steering wheel and when to start turning. Other than that...it was strangely enjoyable...I think driving and I are gonna be really good friends...

:)
