For July

What eventful weekends i have had in July (and busy weekdays too). So i have to wait till almost end of July to update... Cos i was really busy dao.... The weather was crazy. i was crazily busy too...

First weekend:
1. Picnic + Fly kite with COgang.
Was a super rainy sat morning... But we still went on with our plan to Marina Barrage with some food and got to sit under the shelter to eat. And even under the shelter, we got rain washed over us sometimes. But we still got to fly the kite after that! Quite lucky though the grass is all wet. hohoh. Not much sun and wind at first. So a bit hard to fly the kite but we did it anyhows.

Then just as we stopped, the sun came out. Super hot sun. The weather is crazy. So 3 girls decided to stay under the shelter while jan, sushi, dj, via and i came out to fly kite. But anyway it's been long since we last met so early in the morning for a gathering like that. Ever since we grad from sac? hahaha. It's a good outing like that with them still :) (and i got a little sun burnt after that). haha!

We ended the day ard 2+.. for me to go for my teaching lesson. And some decided to go for some movie.

2. Movie
After that long day... I went for Eclipse with the Asswais. Some crazy ppl watched 2 movies on that day - Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. I was only available for 1. So yea. I met them after my lesson. Wanted to dine at Astons but ended up at Jap food cos not enough time. Movie was all right... Not that exciting. A bit gross at the fighting part. Other than that... More or less to the story? I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn more. More interesting storyline. :)

Then ekky send us back to the east! Although it was a really long walk to his car. tsk. haha! And yup that's all for saturday.

3. Race Against Cancer
That was the activity for sunday. 5km fun run. Glad that we only did 5km. haha! too long nv train. Stamina is like. LOW. sianed. And my shoes are not really fitting... So my feet got very painful halfway thru... And then worst. Got stitches. like wth. So Anyway after that i bth and went back home to change shoe plus take dslr before going back to meet the rest at mac.

Then i couldn't rmb what happened for the rest of the day seriously. HAHA

Yup. End of first weekend.

Second weekend:
1. F.I.R Concert
Was quite a surprise gift from SCO. I think cos of their collaboration with 光明山. that's why there's free tix. Well, our seats can't be compared to those sco staff. And i can only say. 'Better than nothing'. haha. First time the asswais are going for something like this... And then, there were a few who knows NOTHING abt F.I.R and their songs. lol. Like our dearest dr.cheow and tanmeijou. So they were more entertained by iPhones than the singers themselves. Then a few of them fell asleep at the front. Which i agree was quite dry. But not that bad lah.

Anyway towards the end we got damn high and start jumping ard and finally joeltan got some songs he knows! like 2 or 3 of them? lol. So overall it was good! Free one leh. HAHA :D

2. Nothing else except for work and violin lessons.

Got to work for the weekend = coming to office 7/7. wah i tell u it's kinda madness. I worked (come to office for 12 days straight. So for the sat and sun. It was work then teach, work then teach. Just that one day was at clementi, the other at yishun.

One of the most tiring weekend ever.

Third weekend:
1. Music Exchange
Quite fun. Quite tiring too. Lotsa friends. Lotsa laughter throughout. Spent most of the day with vontay. HAHA. Ok lah.. after that with the asswais too. Mini-asswai gathering somehow. haha! Anyhows, quite fun to be meeting some friends whom i haven't seen for a long time. both MCO and Changkat. Esp. the cc ppl. LOL. And being called some 叛徒 for a day. :( Reason is clear, but dun say here lah. The whole thing was quite funny. And i felt so stress cos he was sitting diagonally behind me during our item. Cos i didn't really talk to him, and he didn't really chatted with me too... I felt quite bad actually. Aiya. Whatever lah. =X Why am i involved in this kind of rubbish politics of ppl. rah!

Anyway i happy cos of some things though. haha! Shan't say what is it. I know can liao. lol! Maybe some will know, maybe not. But also... erm. nothing liao lah.

The exchange itself was not bad. Although i wasn't really listening after some time. LOL. Take photo photo and more photos.

2. Movie
Went to watch Nodame Cantabile - Finale with the Asswais after the exchange. Hmm.. Not bad but not as much cute animations compared to first part. More laughter for 1st part. But still quite funny. And after all it's with the asswais. Anything can be good enough. HAHA. :D

3. Work
And back to work on sunday again. And to teach cos i canceled the lesson the day before. Still, a much too tiring day for me to handle. haha.

Fourth weekend: (one of the most fun one)
1. Universal Studio Singapore
Yeap. First visit to USS. And with my family. :D Family day for da-jie coy. So we all went. The funniest thing of all was the start of the day where the 3 of us couldn't wake up in the morning. So much so for setting the time to get out of the house, i woke up at the exact time we had to leave. And i was the one who woke the 2 of them up. LOL. So we had to rush for time cos dad and mum were already at the mrt station waiting for us. How cool.

So ya.. played and eat in USS. Went to gollilocks for lunch (fyi they sell fried chicken, not porridge) and it's not bad at all. But my dad prefers KFC. haha! Took quite some photos there... and the mascots are really good. :) Managed to get most that we wanted: Madagascar (only managed to get alex cos the session ending), Shrek & Fiona, Puss in boots, Frankenstein and Kungfu Panda. Damn cute. We were quite lucky for most of it... The cat is like damn cute. And well... vain. HAHA! And we specially waited for Kungfu panda. Saw him when we just reached and halfway through but he was going back to rest already.. so we ermm... ask the other escorts where will he be appearing and abt what time. And yeah! We waited there for him to come out. So we were like one of the first few. :D

For rides... didn't really get to take a lot. Went for more shows instead. Or rather, i think we only took the Mummy ride? Which was really good. Wanted to go to the Jurassic ride, but they having technical fault. :( And the roller-coaster is closed still. So no luck. Omg, i want to go back and play when everything is up! I hope it will be soon. So yup, went to the 4D Shrek show, movie special effects showcase, the waterworld show.


Yea, I was a happy when i came out of USS cos i got a puss in boots mug and a gingy cushion for workplace!! :D


2. Veron's bday
It was kinda last min decision to go.. cos it was after USS and i was quite drained already. Anyhows, met joeltan and tayzhiwen to go tgt. Yup.. had a good time playing Angry birds on jingwen's iPad. So big and clear. haha! Most of them left quite early. I felt kinda bad so i stayed for a while more.. which in the end i left like what 1plus am? Erm. I can't rmb. haha. And luckily i managed to get a cab outside the chalet. if not i have to walk the dark path all the way out to the main street.

3. The Line Buffet
If u still do not know what is The Line, maybe u are still not to the age to enjoy yet. haha! It's buffet by Shangri La Hotel. One of the highest recommended int'l buffet in sg. I went with my 2 buddies on sunday for lunch. It's damn good i tell u, just by eating the seafood, it's enough to return the money you paid for the whole meal. Oh and sashimi. it's like... heaven! It can convince ppl who doesn't believe in sashimi to eat it and say it's nice. Didn't eat some of the variety there cos really too much. Dessert was calling us. So tempting and most of them are really nice! Ah... the meal lasted me throughout the whole day. hahaha! I wasted my packed dinner provided by sy for the concert. didn't eat at all. And no Koi too. lol!

4. SYCO concert
Rehearsal at 3.30pm and concert at 8pm on the sunday. As much as we thought it might be a disaster, it turned out quite well. But the big thing for the day was... I actually forgot to bring my scores out. -.- So smart. And that was becos i was practising the songs in the morning before i went out for the buffet haha! And i only realised that when i reached SCH. Was kinda early and wanted to prac first. it was then i opened my bag and realised my scores weren't inside. And best, my partner and i are using my scores for the concert. How great. I had to call home to ask them to bring it to me.. So during the rehearsal it was quite disastrous, esp. for the erhu song. haha!

But anyhows, I think we did quite well for the concert. And i'm proud of us! :D So much for all the scoldings we had. If only everyone could do better earlier the next time. It was really better than what we expected. And mr quek was super funny during the concert. Esp. the erhu song i think. damn relieved. hahaha.

And then.... We face friends performing for the last time in syco. Well... I must say i will really miss them in the co. esp. joeltanmeijou. As much as we dun want him to leave, i think if that's what is better for him, I wish him all well. (well, he is going afterall). Ah... Time has really passed so fast. At the point i'm typing this... there's only 20 days left for him in sg. :(

Worst, there are 5 weekends for July!!!
Fifth Weekend:
1. Make-up lessons for the kids
After all the busy weeks... i had to change quite a few violin lessons to accommodate. :( And so instead of enjoying days i do not have to teach due to the music school holidays, I had to go back to teach them. Ok. blame on myself lah. :(

2. Support Xunqi at RACO concert
It was really a cool thing to see your friend as the conductor at a concert. And can see how much effort he has put in to make this concert a success. The concert may not be fantastic, but it shows the effort of all these alumnis who are perhaps very busy ppl, best example is xunqi himself. And the passion they had for the school and CO to make them go back and make this concert a success. Not easy.

A surprise to see emily and yingying there too! We were like damn high there. haha! They are there with their sn friends i think. And saw khai phang too... quite a good friend of xunqi i think. haha! Haven't seen my pri school friends for such a long time. 

When would nyco have the same kind of chance to do this? haha. i dunno. Not so soon i guess.

3. Relax
Finally I got to relax on the sunday cos it's August already!!! I heart. And now... i'm going to sleep and update on august stuff soon. Hee!

PS: I think this entry kinda fits almost half of the labels i have. hahaha!
