NEW DISCOVERY

Was on course for the past weekend, damn it! There goes my weekend....
Anyway, met the gers for dinner on sat, was suppose to have only pastries as dinner. However, after the walk from Clarke Quay to Robinson Quay & the LONG search for that secretive P?tisserie, we decided to give ourselves a treat @ a new found dining place, Seafood Harvest. Wanted something salty first, and we are reallie so damn hungry, dun think cakes would be enuff to fill us. The combo meal (Lobster & Steak) was great, but expensive!

After which, we proceed to Canele for the desserts. According to Huimei, this shop was on the critics a zillion time, and all thumbs up! True enuff, it was a dream come true for chocolate lovers like myself! One word describes it all..HEAVEN!! It's almost like Baker's Inn, but much better. The prices are affordable, and they offers quite a number of selections. New found hangout place! The shop is so damn secluded, it's buried in the numerous pubs, yet it stands out amongst its rowdy neighbours because of its serenity. For those interested, its located at Unity Street, Fraser Place. Its opposite Bar Celona. It can be quite crowded, so please be there early.


From the left: Strawberry Tart (HUGE strawberrys), forgot the name of this cake, De Royale (This is a MUST TRY) & Tiramisu (Melts in your mouth)


Name of this creation: 66%, suppose to be 66% of dark chocolate. Thou we cannot taste the bitterness, but nonetheless, its good!

IRRITATED

Woke up late today, decided to indulge a bit so wanted to take a cab to work. If anyone have tried hitching a cab at 8 in the morning, you should know how difficult it is. After 10 minutes of waiting, I finally saw a comfort cab without the "busy", "on call", "hired" red sign. BUT~~~ there's this couple who happily strolls passed me, held up their hands and flagged at MY CAB!!!
WHAT THE FUCK!!!

If they make the effort to walk further up a bit, jus a bit, at least i wont be so damn pissed. But being the ill-mannered, idiotic, fucked up couple, they simply stop right in front of me, and took my cab.

-.-

I suppose they don't have the slightest idea of what courtesy/ queuing up is. They din even have the guts to look at me when they stopped right in front of me becos of the red light.

God, please bless them with all the bad luck in the world. May their cab break down along the expressway and they have to walk all the way to work.

RANDOM

Have no idea what should be the title, so "random" is the best word to use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brought my students out yesterday, a promised I made to them if they meet my score targets, and this promise costed me $150 -.-" They do deserve the treat, especially after months of torturous tuition with me. Haha.

Well, I brought them to Popular to buy more assessment books for the 2nd half of the year, 3 for English, 1 for Maths and 1 for Chinese. Wahahaha..can see from their face that they know hell is just around the corner. These are on top of the ones that they bought beginning of this year that they have not finished. No choice, PSLE students.

Watched "Cars" with them, children movie. Wasn't really keen on watching that initially, but it turns out quite nice actually. It talks about this red sports car by the name of McQueen, who is arrogant and selfish initially, but eventually learns how to care and work with others after a series of mishaps. Funny yet inspiring.
"When was the last time you did something for someone other than yourself? When was the last time you genuinely care for someone?" Meaningful sentences from the movie.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Xiangrong's birthday on thurday nite, and he gave us a treat to the famous Ang Mo Kio crab. Woohoo! It was the first time in my life that I see a crab whose pincers are bigger than the palm of a human, a male FYI. The pics are with Patrick & Yiwen, will upload it when I have them.

Initially we ordered 4 small crabs, but they ran out of the small ones, so the auntie asked if its okay if they change our order to 2 big ones since 4 small = 2 bigs. BUT...that glutton zhentai insisted that 2 is not enuff, so we changed the order to 4 HUMOGOUS crab, on top of a plate of sweet & sour chicken, a plate of the fried you tiao, a plate of the shou mian, a plate of fried kai lan and 20 pc of fried mantous. Total...(drum roll...) $349.40 for 9 pple.

Xiangrong must be feeling the pinch....Ouch!

The boys were discussing about going on a holiday together, and Bangkok seem to be on the top of their list. So, yah, i might be going to bangkok, AGAIN this coming Aug. Damn it! BUT this is to be KIV, cos dunno if the rest of the gers wanna go cos I was the only ger present that nite when the discussion took place. If not..it would be 1 ger & 6 guys. I dun think so, my mum will kill me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suddenly realised that...I dun have a life (!!) or should I say, I took away my own life (?) :(
I took up another 2 more tuitions, and now, my only free days are tuesdays (if I am not on nite duty) and fridays, all the rest are my tuition days. Even on sats and suns, I have tuitions from 1-6.30

-.-" Kill me!!!

Worse thing is, the tuitions kept coming in, ARGH! Its good to know that I have a good reputation, but its very difficult to turn down the offers, especially when its recommended by my student's parent. Think I should really consider starting a tuition agency. wahahahaa

I am glad thou, that my existing students are not the "si gin na" kind :) & that my money are coming in. A double :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to change the skin of my blog, but I dunno how to. I'm blogger-retard. I can only do the basic, like blogging and publishing the post, and not change the whole-damn skin. I can never understand/ read/ edit the damn HTML thingy. H.E.L.L.O~~~~ I'm a psychology major for goodness sake! Some kind souls pls help me with the following.

Questions!
1. Can I keep my previous posts after changing the skin? If yes, how to? If not, why not?
2. How do I personalise the skin from the general ones?

Best if someone can help me do up the skin. P.R.A.Y.I.N.G~~~~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watched Da VinCi Code with my Uni mates last saturday, thanks to Bianca, we get to watch it free!!

The movie was quite nice, but I prefer the book version. Maybe its due to the time constraint, the movie omitted quite a number of scenes. Quite disappointing thou, was actually looking forward to them showing the links between the Disney characters to that of thePirory of Sion thingy.

IT FEELS GOOD

It feels good when your efforts are appreciated
Started tuition with my darling students last Saturday, and I was delighted to be informed that all of them improved, including Melissa and Valerie who scored B3 & A1 for their A Maths. That's a huge improvement considering the fact that they were F9 students jus months ago. So proud of them...and myself too.
What made my day was when the parent came and thanked me for everything that I've done. It really feels good when you know that your efforts have not gone down the drain, and that pple trusted and appreciated your efforts.
Oh yah, my darling students, Mirabel and Shu Ying brought me a pearl necklace and a wallet from Suzhou. So sweet of them :)

It feels good to have certain things thrashed and sorted out
Certain things have been choking me for nearly a decade, and I finally had it sorted out last week. Feelings and "misunderstandings" have been ironed out, and its good to have a clear direction and knowing where we stand in each other's life.
Kudos to myself for having the courage to take the 1st step, and also many thanks to my pals for their "pushing". Still recovering from the change, but I'll survive, like I always do.

It feels good when your life is getting back on track
Have been uncertain about myself for nearly a year since my last job, and its really scary when you start having doubts and questions about your ability and your future. Luckily, I am now getting back on track on my life journey. I can make promises that'll come true, I can make plans for holiday, I can finally lighten my mum's financial burden and I finally know the importance of savings. What's next could be, and should be..finding the right person (?!)
