The weekend and today

Ok I have to update my life here... Last Saturday was a Volunteer Appreciation Day at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. It was a fun day, my group partner and I went walking around the mangrove reserve playing a treasure hunt with about 50 other people. We even made a tailor bird nest with a Dillenia suffruticosa leaf and some dry wood and cotton. One other partner stayed at the visitor centre to paint a trashbin. I must say it's a good idea to get volunteers to decorate the trashbins, now they look even more attractive than some exhibits!
Sunday was a stay-home day, rather uneventful, watching anime all day... hahaha..
Today I went to collect my new lens! And bought myself a FBT sleeveless shirt! I'm gonna wear it in Thailand... :D

A feast

We went to Taman Jurong today for a feast after squash. Attendence wasn't bad at all, 4 of us came for dinner! We had bbq stingray, squid, 2 vegetables and sugarcane juice... Nice dinner! The stingray was delicious!

Boredom

I'm so bored these days, even though I have work to do... Does that mean I need a break? Then looks like my trip to Thailand is timely, but I wonder if it would be a bad idea to come back just 2 days before the workshop... I wonder what Stuart will say.. hahaha.. Talking about the workshop, looks like it'll be exciting, I hope Lillian can come! And someone from Oxford is coming!

Botanic Gardens

It was a good walk at the Gardens today, no rain. Shawn brought his students around and talked about ferns, aroids, flowers, basic plant anatomy... I learnt something too. After that we went to the Red Dot for some beer. It's quite a posh place near the garden, but the beer selection wasn't as many as Brewerkz. The vegetarian pizza was good though, very juicy. The music gets louder as more people come in, I don't think I'll frequent the Red Dot so often...

Kbox

This is the most popular KTV lounge in Singapore, with lots and lots of branches everywhere! Gai Heng, Yee Wei and I went to the one in Clementi after our meeting and sang our hearts out. The service was good, but there was a blackout in the middle of out singing, which was a first time for us. This time I took down all the nice song I didn't have, so I'm very happy! After that we went to eat fishball mee pok, the fishballs were huge but soft and spongy - not bad.

A grave mistake

Today wasn't really my day... I made quite an expensive mistake, just by not checking the date of delivery of a buffet lunch! Hmmf... I'm lucky they gave me a discount for that lunch, or I'll be feeling guilty for the rest of the week... :(

Visit to school

It was such a fruitful day! I saw almost all the teachers I wanted to see, except Mdm Tan my form teacher... But it wasn't too bad, Irene and I had a good chat with Ms Yap, Ms Seah was too busy walking around to chat for long, had a short sit-down session with Mdm Wong, watched Mrs Ng eat her lunch, and had a really quick one with Mrs Razal!
Yeah Ms Yap looks the same, Ms Seah looked pale, I wonder if she's tired and stressed. Mdm Wong looks the same too, Mrs Ng slimed down quite a bit, and Mrs Razal!! Same dress sense, short skirt with heels! Man... I missed all of them... I hope to do a home visit soon! They started sprouting babies the moment we graduated... I wonder if we're the reason that they didn't want to give birth.. hahaha.
