freaking freak freak freak so ful after eating. life is just plain simple .. eat, live, drink, sleep..
wads there to do in life?

simply aunties

grumbling aunties, aunties with children who shriek and scream at their kids like you're gonna ram them dead any second, aunties who stare at you in horror as if you're gonna run over their toes and kill them, aunties who refuse to move away from the path just 20 cm so i can go in peace, aunties who pretend to be deaf and refuse to walk properly. There was also once this aunty who simply didn't hear me ringing the bicycle bell (those who know me know that i ring the bell far ahead and give ample signal time plus my bell is the super old and loud type), so the aunty just walk along the path while her family member (husband and teenage son) already swerved out into the grass patch courteously. i thought she heard me cos everyone in her family alr moved, so i sped along, until the last moment where i was just behind her, she suddenly shrieked and got a terrible shock. she started hurtling some crap and scolded me. all in 2 cycling revolutions. her shouting disappeared into the air as the kind wind would carry it. i simply retaliated but decided against it since i cant be heard anyway. it was dark, and when i turned back, i could hear the husband apologising...

well not just aunties, but also sometimes old uncles who pretend to be deaf or simply jerk out of the way at the last possible second.

also the children, who for lack of education or lack of care for the outside world (outside of the immediate 0.5 cm), simply refuse to see you or hear you

1st time KTV with Arul + updates from wed-thurs

After the previous time yrs ago, we never got to a consensus about ktv.. luckily this time, we managed to sort out the differences and fears or expectations.. we actually went to k lunch together. its nice and cosy -- 2 of us in a room screaming at the top of our lungs. had so much fun singing crappy songs
only thing is, i brought my camera but it wasn't used.. we totally forgot to take any photos!! next time i suppose!! haha..
dint think that kbox would haf that many english songs to last for 3 hrs~ and today for some reason, i kept singing F.I.R's songs and getting really emotional with jaychou's rainbow and zhanghuimei's forget. maybe PMS soon.. sian
this week is flying pretty fast. dun seem to be doing anything much but my 1wk break is soon ending..

went swimming yesterday night, my mom taught me to do a handstand in the medium pool~ it was SO fun ^.^ but not that easy to balance such that your body is completely straight underwater, so that ur legs go above the water and can extend into a straight line above water!! its an art haha. my mom apparently can do it well.. but she cant really swim. wad a mysterious world.. full of mysteries..

i went to see the doctor today about my heart problem. duno why the ECG cant seem to find anything wrong with my heart. it said 'normal sinus rhythm' & 'normal ECG'. wth? i mean, i've been to so many doctors but they cant seem to find out wads the problem.. stupid shit.. anws, i got a referral to the National Heart center in July. shall see how then..

the polyclinic doctor is the best i've ever seen. his name is Dr To Ka chi. he's from hongkong cos u can hear it in his voice. the best, most patient, relaxed doctor and the most interested-in-his-patient doctor i've seen. most polyclinic docs dun seem to do their job well.. he listened to my problem, did simple on the spot checks -- my breathing, Blood pressure, pulse, ears, all that i mentioned had problems.. then he made me go for ECG and blood test!! but nothing was wrong with it, though blood test takes 1 wk to know results..

something funny happened at the ECG room. i saw a cute tiny grasshopper baby on the wall beside me.. the ECG researcher was horrified, and she couldn't take it. i had to carry the grasshopper outta the room before she could continue sticking jelly electrodes on me. she's q funny actually, and a nice concerned person. =) felt like i made a friend, also discussed abt my condition and she seemed truly sincere and interested.

overall a very good experience compared to my normal experience in other polyclinics.. =) 5 stars *****

crabbing on Sunday at Sembawang Beach ~

one crab has eggs on the abdomen!


crab stuck on crab net ~

look at the leaves blown by the strong wind

arul playing in the sea



our belongings hung on the trees after being washed by seawater

our overturned crab basket in the background..

crab nets and such in a mess


It was a late start to the day, and when we reached Sembawang beach, it was super freaking crowded!!!
The whole beach was taken and there was hardly a space left for us to pitch our ground sheet. Anws, it wasn't too hot. And it was high tide!
took 5 mins for us to settle down on a spot, spread the ground sheet, and the wave to wash it completely wet immediately. dint even get to sit on it! =(
afterwards, things went downhill. we took 1 hr to set up 3 crab nets and the crab basket. the waves kept on rising, and it finally made us realise we nid to move away. the trash on the shoreline was being washed up to our knees. yuck.

anws we dint catch any crabs cos shortly after we moved to a new spot and cast our nets, it rained heavily. lolz. i ran for shelter while arul decided to meditate at the shoreline.

after the rain, we decided to pack up and leave. there was no luck with crabs for crab nets 1-3. when arul was pulling crab net 4, there was 2 small crabs inside ^.^

gathering Saturday at my hse!!

cant upload the criminal shots cos i haven rotated them!! haha
It was a fun day ~ like every other gathering we haf ^.^

recent crochet designs

Granny Squares that i'll make and patch up to make a bag

Sling bag made from Tunisian stitches..
Its a very neat and simple design!
I'm gonna make a small purse that goes with the sling bag!

Flying Kite on Friday

made this from some website, its so funny hahah

The sun creates a nice shadow on the block of flats ~ at ECP

Sight-seeing at Orchard area. I walked from Teacher's Network at Grange road (near Patterson Road) to Dhoby Ghaut.. took me about 45 mins. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold, with some light drizzle. I even renewed my PDL while passing by SING post.. Wonder when's my next driving test scheduled?

more photos of Seng Kang

Going back to Seng Kang a 2nd time makes me even fonder of Seng Kang. However, there's 1 big flaw in Seng Kang. It's too ULU. there was no taxi for me to get back to town, and I waited for 45 mins. All the cabs put 'On call' but its fake. They're just waiting for ple to call them, and they appear at the taxi stand immediately. I mean, why cant they just go to taxi stand? there was like 10 ple queueing for taxis, and most people waited very long.. OMG !! sounds bad staying in sucha ulu place.. maybe i'll reconsider moving there in future..

btw, on fri, when i reached the punggol preschool, the principal told me that there's no testing for friday since they've parent teacher meeting. I rushed all the way from bukit panjang to seng kang only to hear that my whole day was wasted! pah. but at least i was paid for that day. in the end, i spent some time chatting with the principal, buying kites in prime supermarket, and shopping for maggee mee (but i couldn't find). I duno why, but the Maggie tomyam beehoon has been outta stock for superlong. i cant seem to find it anywhre! anyone knows where?

Saturday again!

Just a weekly update. Haven uploaded my photos for super long!
Had an eventful and tiring week. My health is not so good lately, Wonder what's wrong..


Baby-sized toilet bowl at the Bukit Panjang (Gangsa) PCF. Super short and super cute!!!


Attended a complementary camera training. This is one tutorial slide. I need to get a tripod to reduce blur photos!

Tried the long shutter function on the camera, and I could take a clear shot of the night sky by leaning over the window grills at home. Imagine holding my hands outstretched for 20 secs to take this shot. I need the tripod!!!


Feng Shan PCF at Bedok North =)
There's a nice malay food stall opposite, abit oily though.
The barber beside that hawker centre is full of CMI PRC barbers. DONT go there (if u ever see it).


This is Keat Hong Preschool. There've good facilities and a separate room for my testing. Not bad. The lunch aunty offered me milo and crysenthemum tea as well. The people there are very friendly and nice.











Seng Kang -- Compassvale Street
In my work, I get to travel to different places everyday.
