Chinese New Year is coming to an end soon:( I think today is the 7th day of CNY:( I dont want it to end sooo fast:( I like the festive feel... even though i think the CNY atmosphere will be better at countries like China and Hong kong... ohh wells...
CNY was really a gd time to do some visiting and catching up.. when relative visiting on the first and 2nd day... but on the 1st day we went to visit an exhibition held at expo; A Moving Masterpiece, it was really cool.. its like this huge stroll of painting.. i think its 5m plus long! Its painted by an imperial court artist in the song dynasty.. then in that exhibition.. they make use of technology to make the painting come to life!! A real masterpiece!!:D If u guys want more info... can visit this website, i think i can go on and on abt it! http://www.amovingmasterpiece.com/painting.html On the 2nd day, went to Veron's house to bai nian too!! First time going to her house! Played with neighbour's dog.. its a shi tzu!! Super cute and active.. its busy fetching golf balls! hahhas! Stayed there with her family for an hr only cos needed to do more relative visiting!
3rd day von and veron came over instead.. cos von wanted to do a cover for her dear friend.. first time doing a cover.. super fun!!! We had so many failed covers!!! I think only one sounds okay.. we did high sch musical songs, jason chen songs too! Its either we zao xia, or von suddenly cough or veron sang too low.. hahhaas! We had fun :D But my voice sounds weird when being recorded:( ohh wells.. hope von's friend enjoyed her small gift to him.. Ysd straight after work went to Thomas's house, i didnt know i would be the only girl there:x But it was fun playing cards and catching up with the guys:) The karaoke session was super funny esp. when the guys r singing songs sang by female artist like lady gaga songs:P LOL! We zao xia a lot!!! But thats part of the fun! I think i didnt sang too well either :( I think i zao xia more than usual.. hope my voice wasnt too terrible>.< Hahas, a few days ago i was just telling my dad i wanna see lion dance, a live one.. I was super happy to catch one while shopping ard a clementi area:) This just made me miss CNY more... The lion spit orange peels at me! lols! My mum was so excited when she saw that.. she said i'll get lucky and she must faster buy my IC no. for 4D! so cute! :DBtw, I'm just loving Jason Chen even more.. i just love his voice and personality(: Enjoy this recent cover of his:)
May the year of the dragon bring in prosperity, gd luck, happiness and gd health to everyone!!! Take this opportunity to spend time and bond with ur family!!
Only gonna work on fri and sat this wk!! The rest of the time will be spent visiting, family and friends time! :D Tmr gonna go visiting and going to the exhibition at expo- The moving masterpiece~ CNY songs are making me all happy and cheerful!! :D This is one of the cny songs sang by hk stars:D
Its sun alr! Cant believe a week had alr passed! It was tiring having activities going on every single day such that i dont have much time to myself... but oh wells.. the tiring level couldnt be compared the mental stress i have in JC last yr. Mon & Tue- Council Chalet, Wed- MJC open house and work at kumon, Thurs-work at Kumon Toa Payoh, Fri- 1st working day at another kumon centre, Kumon Siglap, Sat- work at Kumon Toa Payoh, Sun- Titanic Artifact Exhibition at Marina Bay Sands.
Council Chalet was held at Aloha Loyang! It was great seeing a lot of councillors that i havent seen for quite some time.. ppl like mich, eunice, sylvina etc. We played card games, Wii, mahjong and camwhore a lot! This always happens with von is ard:P I think i got 400plus photos in 2 days! Wii was really really fun! Esp. the dance central! Super funny watching Thomas and Erika compete in dance central!! And the best thing is von actually took a video of them dancing! I couldnt stop laughing while watching the video on my laptop! Free entertainment! :D
Council chalet was the only chalet that i've been to that doesnt have bbq, instead we whip up our own meals! Real fun cooking too! We had spaghetti with mushroom or tomato sauce for the first evening and agolio for the 2nd evening. Credits to sylvina:) I just love veggies! Hahas! I only helped out with the cutting of cabbage and frying! Helped to fry chicken nuggets and harshbrown, plus introduce a healthier way of pan frying harshbrown to mich and ranice that got addicted and they started stealing some in the kitten before its served:P Wed was MJC's openhouse! Bought Geraldine on a personal tour ard MJ! Feels gd to be back in mj! I somewhat miss studying there! But i dont miss the jc curriculum! >.< I'm so glad that cokie wants to follow my footsteps to come mj, just a pity that she doesnt want to join council, she's probably joining choir. Seeing her all excited when i show her the different parts of the sch like LT4 reminds of myself 2 years ago, hahas! Time flies~ Ohh! mj's interhouse mass dance was awesome! I just love the sch and house spirit! I think its like one of the strongest among the different JCs in S'pore:) Such a pity i only manage to catch 2 houses mass dance as i've to rush off at 2.30 for work! That was my 2nd day at work and i'm on my own alr! Apparently they lack manpower on wed, it was stressful at some times when i've so many kids in front of me all requiring my attention. But i mangaed to get through the day, just need to get used to multi-tasking...
Thurs, i returned to kumon at 9am to finish up the marking that was incomplete the day before... finished marking at abt 1plus... and i spent the rest of the day lying on my bed, daydreaming and listening to songs on my laptop. I feel so lazy that day, cos of the headache and neckache due to the lack of sleep...
Fri went to the Kumon centre at Siglap where veron was working at cos i wanna work on more days so that i earn more money to pay for my leisure activities and practical driving lessons! The centre there was quite lively though there wasnt any students there on the day. I was down to help out with the marking . Ohh, the 2 kumon centres have different marking styles, so i took some time to get used to theirs. Next time when working at 2 centres, i must learn to be able to switch to the respective marking styles. The teachers there are funny too from the way they talk abt their students and random stuff. I met 2 part-timers too! Both are O level graduates:) Looking forward to working a new environment.
Sat was working back at Kumon Toa Payoh, I was on my own again... But i think i coped better as compared to wed... Ohh, I was asked by the teacher in-charge to try marking higher level english w.s, so maybe i'll be transferred to teach older students? Also happen to see someone coming to the centre for an interview, hopefully she'll join us:)
Sun met up with veron first at eunos mrt to go to plaza sing to buy bedroom slippers cos the Kumon at siglap doesnt allow us to wear our shoes in and to do some shopping. I also bought a top for cny! :D Met up with Adrian, Thomas and johnston later at Marina Bay Sands ArtScience Museum for the Titanic Artifact Exhibition! First time going to the museum! Excited much! I really think the money was worth spending! Got to know and experience so much more abt this significant historical event or shld i say tragedy that struck in history. Really insightful cos u get to see real artifacts retrieved from seabeds, exactly same replicas of the decorations that was on board the actual Titanic ship! At the entrance of the exhibition we're also given boarding pass that feature the passenger's name that boarded the ship! Other info such as the class u belong too and brief background of the passenger was also shown there. And at the end u get to check whether u and ppl accompanying have survived the journey! And i so happen to get a passenger's name who was quite similar to my name! Hahas! She's called Irene and had a husbund who was a broadway producer! Cool cool:) What really impress me was the exhibition reaches out to our 5 sense to allow us to really feel we're on board the ship! For eg. in the dinning rm, u can hear the sounds of cutlery and chattering, as if there r ppl really dinning there! And in the boiler rm where the engines of the ships are, u can smell like a bit of the burning of coal! :D
My favourite place was the outdoor deck! Where u can see the nightview of the ships and the whole sky filled with 'stars' and sea! Though they are fake stars but they look so real! If u stare at it long enough, u can see them blinking! Ahh, so nice... u can also feel like some breeze! At that point, I really feel very carefree and relaxed... Wish i could stay at that place all day! The scene of the stars filling up the whole sky is still stuck in my mind! hahas! Call me naive or what.. but yea.. thats my fav part of the exhibition! In 2-3 years time when i've earned enough money, i wanna go on a cruise! So i can really see real stars at night! :P If u havent go for the exhibition and feel like learning smth new and experiencing smth fresh... go for the titanic exhibition! Highly recommended! :D
On wed went out with von, adrian and thomas for lunch at chinatown! :D Cos von initiated a gathering to go there to eat fish head! Hahas! I think we're one of the few exceptional teenagers who would travel all the way to a place like Chinatown to eat fish head ? Hahas.. von and i looked ard and all we see r middle age ppl eating there! Gosh, von really can eat fish head well!! Usually when i go there to eat with my parents, we still can see the fish eyes and stuff there after we finish eating... but.... what's left is only bones! :O Adrian and thomas also ate a lot!! I think they ate like 3 bowls of rice!!! Adrian ate till he's 'pregnant'!! Hahahas!!!
Ysd, met up with danielle and adrian to register for basic theory driving test at ubi! It was real fun when danielle and i started telling adrian abt all our council experience in KC and seeing his stunned or shocked face! hahahas! And the queue at the driving centre was long... i think there were 20 ppl in front of us. Adrian found a queue no. on a table that was 4 positions earlier than the queue no. we got from the machine... i think it belonged to someone who had dropped it. Then we came out with this funny idea of rushing to the counter according to the queue no. that was earlier! When the queue no. was featured on the screen, i was so tempted to rush to the counter! But some guy beat us to it... i think it would be hilarious if both of us rush to the same counter:P
Afterwards i went to meet ping hao for our mini class chalet at pasir ris park coasta sand :)
Everyone was late! -.- As usual.... And ping hao and i got lost trying to find our way there! And we went to the wrong chalet.. we went to the one at downtown! And we still knocked on the wrong chalet door so loudly! Luckily there's no one is living there!
Though there's no bbq and quite a few of us couldnt stay overnight... but it was great seeing the class again!! I miss having lessons with them! Hearing esp the guys crack funny jokes during lessons... I dont mind having to go to sch for a day or 2... but not go through the whole 'A' level experience >.< We just sat there playing card games:) And a dinner at ehub! The class didnt change! Still as lame as ever! ahh.. hope to have another gathering some time during the holidays..
On a side note, I gave up looking jobs through a job recruiting agency! The HR dept from NAFA have yet to inform me anything even though they said they will call me soon....
Most probably i'll work in another kumon centre other than toa payoh... so yups..
Next wk there's council chalet and MJC open house!:D
Danielle showed me this video of a mini warbler! Super adorable!! He's such a huge fan of the warblers that he had his grandma custom made the warbler's outfit and he can rmb the lyrics and dance moves of darren criss for songs he performed like teenage dream and raise your glass:):)
