I'm Glad.

I'm supposed to be writing my TMA but I can't resist posting this.

I happened to go into my SIM site and was shocked to see the tab "Course Registration" there. My immediate thoughts were "Heh! I'm already completing, how come there is this tab?!"

I clicked and then I was immensely glad. =)I'm super happy that table containing the "remaining credits needed" are blank.

Now, all I need to do is complete my TMAs and sit for the exams and then I. AM. DONE!

I think I look like a carrot head

I must look like a bloody carrot head to my doctor la.

For these and a 2-day MC, guess how much I got to pay?$71!

Yes!!!! SEVENTY-ONE freaking dollars!!!!

And I think it's very normal medicine lei!

I have a morning and night flu tablet, a mixture for cough and phlegm (which reminds me of kids' medicine coz of the color) and a box of antibiotics! Granted the antibiotic is more expensive, go in for consultation is $20. But my goodness, $71 just for these?!

Wah lau.. All because I lost my voice, a little sinus and a damn painful cough.

I super heart pain lor. $71!

I really think my doc is cut throat or I really look like a bloody carrot head.

Hub also down already, he went to another clinic earlier and it cost him a mere $20 with 1 day MC.

Ok. he has no antibiotics and 1 day MC, just a normal flu (his colleagues are having flu, so he got it) but VERY big difference between $71 and $20 lei!!!!

ARGH!!!!

Friday - 24 Jul

A special Friday lies in store for me and my 2 friends this evening!

But first things first, I still need to get through the day before the evening comes.

The lunch kaki and I haven't had lunch together for a really long time, with her hectic duties, and my more frequent of bringing lunches to work, it's really quite hard to meet her for lunch and so, we made plans to meet up for lunch today!

Went to J8, coz she needed to get something and I was on a buying-squeaky-boys-shoes-quest for a friend.

In the end, I did not manage to get the squeaky shoes, but instead, I got some cute outfits for her girl.So cute right! I love the small tees and the bubble pink shorts! Will look great on her girl. I would have gotten some for my God-daughter too, but the sizes are too small! *sigh*

Come evening, its time for Cindy, Amelia and myself to meet up! I've been so looking forward to it for the past week!

We were supposed to have dinner at KPO cafe and bar the new place in town.. but they do not accept reservations and we can't get a normal sit down table for dinner. Cin and I were there for a good 45 mins hanging out at the bar, hoping and waiting to pounce onto such a table when the chance presents itself. But no such luck.

*sigh*

Anyway, KPO is not the place for me. Been there. And I doubt I'll go back again.

We decided to go to coffee club express, and just nice Am arrived! Poor girl got a swollen eye, goodness knows what caused it. Hope, she's feeling better by now!

I think it's a good thing we had dinner at Coffee Club. More more comfortable and the night was breezy! We sat there the whole night chatting like old friends and we had a good time!

US!
The 2 of them turned up in white though nothing was said about dressing! I'm the odd one out!

And Thanks very much, Cin for the macroons. Jer and I enjoyed it very much!

Lunches

I've been preparing lunches for both the hub and myself more often these days...

Nothing fanciful, in fact, I think it's on the borderline of being unhealthy with the amount of processed food that I'm piling into our system!

Mixed Red, Brown & White Rice cooked with Corn, paired with NTUC's Popcorn Chicken (or chicken nuggets or chicken wrapped in seaweed), Diaso's Seaweed and Japanese Seasonings. Sounds unhealthy already, I know. But its simple to prepare in the morning la. So, I am really trying not to eat too much processed food.

A slightly healthier lunch for today...Mixed Red, Brown & White Rice cooked with Corn and Carrots, paired with steam chicken thighs.

These are all super easy to prepare in the mornings. I'm still experimenting with more variations to the veggies and meat. Must be simple and fuss free. Only food that either cook together with rice, steam or toaster oven friendly will be considered!

I had lunch with Jeff some time back and we had Sandwiches.Never heard of this brand before, but it's similar to Subway. But in terms of choices, Subway has more. Be it choices of bread, veggies or the various kinds of meat and even sauces!

I've already forgotten what I ordered. From the likes of it, some ham and the default veggies and don't know what sauce.

I also had a drink and a salad to complete the whole meal. The lettuce tastes a tad too old la.

I think price wise slightly more expensive than Subway as well. But in terms of ambiance, this place is much more comfortable with sofa seats and wide spaces.

1 thing that I find quite irritating at Subways is the way the chairs are all arranged back to back. Really is jam packed. I'm not exactly skinny la. So I find the seating so uncomfortable.

Ah... which reminds me, I'm going to Swensens for lunch with my colleagues later this week. Swensens have extended their lunch time promotion of 1-for-1 lei. Very worth ma.

Thing is got to go there early, else queue very long and then very rush to finish the food coz, service also slower lor.

Shoes

Hole in the sole of my URS...This happens to be my 3rd pair in this design from URS.. Why do I have 3 pairs?

Well, the 1st pair was stolen when it was in good, wearable condition though it does looks like it has gone through some battles so I got a 2nd pair.

2nd pair had a big hole on both sides so I got the 3rd pair.

And less than 2 months, 3rd pair is starting to tear!

ARGH!!!

So, I got 2 brand new pairs of shoes. Flatties, soft and comfortable!

It looks a little like the Crocs Mary Janes doesn't it? But it's only at a fraction of the price!

Grey Heels.
Looks black but it's grey. I don't have grey shoes heels la.

A little hard but still relatively comfy. And it looks and feel very chic. I like.

Best of all, these brand new 2 pairs costs merely $47 (storewide 20%) in total! Cheap and good!

Get it fromI think AMK HUB has another branch though I must say, I've NEVER seen it in HUB. I got both pairs at Orchard Central.

One last pair of shoes... White and Pink dress shoes, complete with sqeaky sounds. According to the SA, these sounds will encourage the BB to walk. If she says so lor. I'm not that sure lar...

Nah... not for myself.

For a little princess whose turning 1 soon.

I hope the size fits and I'll ask Mommy to snap shots with her princess in it.

2 little Indian Boys

This morning, I had a group of 13 India Indian boys, aged between 12 to 16 accompanied with 2 male India Indian teachers and 2 local India teachers for a visit to my campus.

Last minute, the Local teacher in charged decided that they should have lunch in my campus before leaving.

Hence, I went to make arrangements with one of my canteen operator for seats and tables for them.

After promising and making arrangements that I'll come back at 1.30pm to fetch them to the carpark, I left them alone and I went for lunch.

Fast forward to 1.30pm, I went to fetch them.

Somehow, something prompt me to make them do a headcount after we left the canteen. To all our shock and surprise, we are short of 1 little Indian boy!

Then began the panic and rush to look for this lost boy. My campus is huge ok! It's equivalent to the size of 60 football fields. Just where and how do we start looking for 1 boy?

None of his friends nor teachers can call him on his mobile because they don't have his number and they are from New Delhi, according to those present, they won't be able to reach him. Don't really understand.. but speaking to a group of India Indians and trying to understand what they say is tough. Very tough.

Some of the boys want to go and look for him. This gave me another shock. I lost 1, I don't want to loose another few. So together with the teachers, we told them to stay where they are and 2 teachers and I went to search.

After a frantic 20 mins search, my colleague called me, giving me some clue as to where this lost boy is.

I finally found him, seated comfortably in 1 of the admin offices in my campus. According to my colleague, he sounded ready to burst into tears.

Thank God my little Indian boy is found!

He got a bashing from his teachers and a great lot of teasing from his friends when he re-joined his group.

The poor boy must have been embarrassed.

Finally, manged to see them safely on the bus and send them on their way home.

During the tea break earlier on, another little Indian Boy came up to me and he said "Mdm, thank you for today. I would like you to have this" and he gave me gave me a little card with just 2 simple words "Thank You".

So sweet of the little boy right?!

This little boy is coming to 13 in Aug. He told me so himself.

The lost little Indian boy is not more than 15.

1 so sweet and 1 caused me to sweat.

Dinner Date

After so long, Amelia finally found a night where we both can have a leisure dinner and yak the night away kind of time.

We decided to meet up at Ikea, Alexandra, where we can have chicken wings and meatballs. whhahaha...

But surprisingly, I was not in the mood for meatballs so I went for the chicken wings instead.

Then we went on our way to Queensway Shopping Centre in a quest to find some nice sporty shoes. But, very very disappointing, the Nike Pair that I was aiming, was totally missing from the shelves!

I can't find it at all!

So, we decided to go over to Anchor Point to yak instead of walking around aimlessly since there was nothing in the shops that even seems remotely interesting.

We had some Japanese Mochi, Peanut Thick Toast and Lemon Tea in Xin Wang and yak till it was almost 10 and then we made our way home.

Amelia is so sweet! She made a little gift for me putting her new found knowledge in sewing to use. Handmade, Homemade Tissue Holder!

The print is so cute too! I love it. Thanks Amelia! =D

Oh... While I was waiting for Am at Queensway town MRT, a lady approached me. She introduced herself as a writer for some Mag and that she is looking for ladies aged between 24 to 35 (Heng, I fall into this category) on our opinions of Singaporean Men.

I failed at her next criteria. Single and UNmarried.

I honestly told her I was married and her response was a look of surprise and then "Oh. It's OK then. Thank you."

I take the look of surprise to be good. Meaning she thinks that I look too young to be married or *in my dream* looks too good to be tied down? whahahahha...

Shortly after, Am arrived and we merrily went on our way to Ikea and had a good ladies night! =)

Thanks Am again for the tissue holder. I like the color (yes, I don't just like PINK ok. I like BROWNS too!) and love the print. So cute and girly.

I think I used to have something similiar to that print but I lost it years back too. This reminded me so much of it!

Okok

THE Hub has been singing and playing this song on REPEAT mode.



So now, I hear "Annie Are You OK?
So, Annie Are You OK
Are You OK, Annie" in my sleep!

Duh....

I even heard it in my head first thing this morning, after I woke up!

Too much of Annie and if she's ok.

Overdose!

One of those days..

One of those days where I wake up in the morning and feel as though I've put on 10kg overnight, while in dreamland.

Where no matter what I wear, what different combinations that I try to come up with, or little things that try to hide that buldging piece of meat hanging in the middle, the fats seems to have congregated and all come out to torture me this early morning!

It just sticks out.

*sigh*

I guess it's a sign of PMS... also a cue for the Hub to be on his very very best behaviour else, there'll be lots of volcanos eruption these few days.
