HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO PRINCESS XUEJING!!!

Our gang-Joan, Liling, Liping and Caiyu, racked our brains together to plan something unforgettable for our dearest friend, XueJing aka snowgold, days before her momentous 21st birthday. We was playing with the idea of bungee jump to joyriding to finally a Seafood Extravaganza at Raffles Hotel-which finally materialized! However, the first and foremost is a unique present. We decided that it should be something touching and finalized on a DIY photo album with personal messages.

This is the cover page with our Princess XueJing posing ever so coolly with her infamous peace finger sign.

This is the 'blackmail letter' made by Liling! Lol!

Dark eye circle victims!

Raffles Hotel:)

I accompany Liping to Raffles Hotel yesterday to settle some work matters and since we are there, decided to make full use of her staff discount (50%) to dine at Seah Street Deli:)


The restaurant follows American style and thus the servering is huge! This is the highly reccomended Caesar Chicken Salad which fills our tummies up before the main course. The barbecues chicken slices tasted really appetizing.

We are so full that we decided to takeaway this Turkey Sandwich. I'm not sure if it's too cold and I'm too lazy to heat it up before I eat it at home, the bread is simply like a rock and the turkey meat so saltish that I feel dehydrated after finishing it. Seems like the Veggie Delite @ Subway is still my favourite:)

My first student:)


This is my first student, Sharon Toh Jingwen-primary one, as a home tutor for the first time. I feels rather jittery as I approach the family since Michelle who is supposed to accompany me to tutor Sharon's sister cancelled the tuition since Sharon's sister is sick. However, everything soon turns out well since Sharon's mum is quite friendly and Sharon herself is so cheerful and fun-though sometimes too fun-loving to focus well which is rather tricky to grapple with. The photos were taken today which is the second tuition for the week. She's so adorable and fun to play with but work's work, I still got to find efficient way to help her learn. Teaching her feels so satisfying and so patience-which is sometimes running short when she insist on playing, is worthwhile. Is this my love for teaching or women's natural inclination towards children...lol?

Accuracy Of Death ~ Monday 19 May

There is a significant message behind the movie-even though life may not be special due to its vulnerability and short existence but it is very important for the person living it, and even though life may be intolerable at times but a simple opportunity or turn of events can allow one to appreciate the beauty of life. This is the lesson that Takeshi as Chiba, the Grim Reaper learned at the end of the movie through three seemingly separate events which turns out to be intricately linked. Even though the message may be touching but the process towards this grand idea is too dreary, boring and plain. Throughout the movie, Chiba kept interacting with his fury colleague though printed dialogues on the screen-they even saved energy moving their lips. If you are on the verge of giving up life and desperately needed any source of encouragement while having the strong will to endure the most of the first part of the movie-what an irony, or a No. 1 fan of Takeshi, do not, I repeat, do not even consider watching it free on the Internet!

Vesak Day ~ Monday, 19 May

It's a super hot day at Bugis and Aljunied places of worship for ardent Buddhist devotees. Both my parents are Buddhist and that makes me a frequent visitor to solemn places of worship which feels tedious and uninteresting at first but slowly became a unique way of understanding the cultures and history of men's faith. Men have limited ability to control Nature's forces despite tremendous improvement to control our own fates and to extend our lives. However, a faith is more than a need to control the Nature and our lives, it's a representation of men's hope and optimism-which is what makes our flittering lives brilliant:) This post is for those whom never bother to visit places of worship.

East Coast Park Cycling and Food Hunt:)

When Marilyn and I finally reached East Coast Park (Friday, 16 May), our tummies are grumbling like nobody business. So we can't wait to head for the Korean Restaurant recommended by Marilyn's Korean teacher. The restaurant is beside the only arcade at East Coast. We each ordered a main course-mine is Saba Fish Set and Marilyn's Beef Soup Set, and it come with 10 side dishes as shown below. It's super value for money ($13.50 each) and it's just like a mini buffet:) It's a must try!

With satisfied tummies and sudden 'energy rush', we began cycling towards Changi Airport!

We saw this while cycling along the way. Does this tree look like it is pointing its middle finger?

We almost reached Changi Airport but Marilyn thinks that reaching near enough to witness the Changi Tower is admirable enough:)

What do you think of my new hairstyle?

Does this picture look artistic-minus the bags and flip flops on the bank? This is where I slip down and injured my elbow which is still throbbing and swollen right now!

I even take Bus 36 from East Coast down to Orchard to meet Michelle despite my unmovable left elbow. Yes, the never-say-die spirit in order to have fun:) Later even bugged by yx to meet him and his army friend...lol
