[[In a happy mood!]]

Took some photos at a fren's condo playground! I felt as if i m back to my childhood days!

I love the 1st pic! Tink its the lighting at the playground tat made the pic look so dreamy, love the effect!

Rock-a-bye baby! Ha!

Went to dear's office to accompany him yesterday. I had no work but he had to. After eating breakfast 2gether at his office, dear started his work while i did my lesson plans. Dear off work at 1pm & we went to AMK central to have lunch. We ate jap food. We love the jap food from there, itz the place where we would often patronise. Shopped ard after lunch & i bought 2 skirts. So happy tat i could have new skirts to wear to work hehe...

Woke up quite early 2day. Had Mac breakfast wif dear b4 going to view showflats. Had applied 4 a flat under a balloting exercise launched by HDB. Hope it will b successful this time round. Had previously applied under a different project but didn't get it.

Haiz... its really hard getting a house. Waiting 4 the day when we can have a dream home of our own. Came back home after viewing the showflats. The rest of the day was spent wif dear at home. Relaxing, doing crafts, watching tv, online... Didn't go swimming coz was having a really bad headache. Hopefully can go next wk.

[[Soccer day!]]

No work 4 dear & me 2day. He had a soccer session wif his colleagues at NUS & i went wif him. Finally could c him play soccer! Itz the 1st time! Dear's brother oso went along. We reached there at abt 9am.

There were already so many pple in the courts. All were fully occupied though itz early in the morning. In the end, they decided to play soccer in the basketball court. A few other pple whom they didn't know oso joined them to play 2gether. I sat on the floor to watch them play. While they were playing, the security guard of NUS came over & tok to them. Guessed he should b telling them tat they cannot play soccer in the basketball court. Stupid guard! There wasn't any empty courts 4 them to play mah, tat's y they played there.

In the end, they shifted to the grass patch at the very far end. It was super hot & the sun was shining so brightly. There was no shelter there so i had to sit under the sun. Haha... i could take the opportunity to sun-tan myself. Luckily i wore shorts & a bare back top. I could tan my legs, arms & back lol... I really became darker at the end of the day.

I was reading The New Paper & watching them play as well. Dear, his bro & colleagues were in the same group while the pple whom they juz knew were in another group. Dear's group was better in terms of skills, they obviously knew how to play better. The other group was not so gd.

They played 4 quite long b4 they decided to call it a day. They were all perspiring like mad & so am i haha... So hot! We all went to the place where there was shelter & sat down. Dear went to the vendor machine & bought a can of 100 plus. So shiok after drinking the cold drink!

Rest 4 a while b4 going back. Dear asked me in the car if i still dare to accompany him 4 a soccer session in future. He tot i would not wan to go along wif him again coz i had to sit under the sun but i told him i dun mind. I would still go wif him in future to watch him play soccer, i like! Wat a happy day ;)

[[Happy National Day!]]

Happy 41st birthday to S'pore! Itz National day 2day, 1 of my fav public holidays. I luv the atmosphere where the whole nation celebrates. Dear & i had applied 4 the NDP tickets but can't get it, wat a pity. But never mind, shall try again next yr. Actually my colleague had the preview tickets & wan to ask dear & i along to watch but we had something on tat Sat.

Had been to c the NDP live when i was young, my aunt brought me & my cousin to the National Stadium on the actual day. The feeling of watching the parade live & watching it on tv is really different! Hopefully next yr can get the tickets.

Had a National Day party at my centre yesterday. No lessons 4 the whole day. In the morning was singing National Day songs, games & after tat was eating. So much food & the children & teachers were enjoying themselves haha... All the children were dressed in their red & white home clothes. Teachers can either wear red/red & white/traditional costume.

Uploaded a pic of me & my playschool 2.
P.S. All the kids were present except Kang Wei as he will only come in half day in the afternoon. The twins in navy blue can't wear red coz their grandfather juz passed away.

[[I luv Bangkok!]]

Took this photo using our hotel rm's mirror!

My shopping buddies ;)

Hi! I m back from Bangkok! Came back yesterday in the afternoon. 4 days of holidays r over. How i wished could stay in Bangkok 4 a few more days, happy & fun time always passed so fast. Really had a very relaxed & enjoyable time there. Everyday was juz eating & shopping, no need to tink of work hehe...

It was dear's 1st time in a plane but i was the 1 who was nervous. When the plane was taking off from the ground, i grab dear's hand so tight lol...

Including dear & myself, there r a total of 19 pple in our group. We arrived in Bangkok in the evening on Sat. My boss had to settle the visa 4 my china colleagues & tat took quite some time. We took the mini bus to the hotel tat we r staying. Settling the rooms oso took some time & i was really real hungry. It was abt 10 plus s'pore time. I m not the only 1, everybody was eager 4 dinner too i guess lol...

Dear & i had a room to ourselves. After putting our bags in the rooms, everybody gathered to go 4 dinner 2gether in a nearby thai restaurant. Dinner was rice with dishes. The food was not bad. We didn't walk ard after dinner. Everyone juz wan to get back to the hotel to shower & rest (save our energy 4 the next day haha!)

Buffet breakfast was provided every morning. After breakfast on Sunday, we set off to the famous Chatuchak Weekend Mkt by skytrain. It was probably the world's largest weekend flea market. A must 4 bargain-hunters looking 4 almost anything under the sun. Dear & i bought lots of stuff from there. Some souvenirs, handphone pouch & mostly clothes. The Chatuchak mkt was something like our Bugis Mkt but it was much much bigger with more stalls. It was super hot inside there but itz worth it coz we bought lots of cheap & nice stuffs.

We shopped till afternoon b4 proceeding back to the hotel to rest 4 a while. We ate something, showered & were out again. We went to a few nite mkts & bought more things. Souvenirs , clothes, bags, sunglasses & lingerie. My frens oso bought lots of stuff & when we bought 2gether in bulk, the seller would always give us a gd price. It was fun shopping in Bangkok coz u can bargain & they would always give in to u haha...

The next day, we went to MBK Centre by skytrain. We bought a large Mickey Mouse bag (can put the things we bought hehe...) & earrings 4 myself. After lunch, we took the Mrt to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar. The stalls would only open at 3 plus to 4 so we all sat down to chat & wait. It started raining but didn't affect our happy spirits. We shopped & bought things again. Souvenirs, clothes, slippers & bikini. We shopped till evening b4 going to eat dinner. After tat was buying things from a shop in our hotel as it was selling very nice stuffs. The bags there were so pretty! Bought a number of things from tat shop.

When we got back to our room, we had to pack all our stuffs as we were leaving the next day. Had a fun time packing coz we didn't realise we bought so much things lol... Things 4 ourselves, family, relatives & frens...

After breakfast on Tue morning, we gathered to set off 2gether to the airport. Really cannot bear to leave. Everybody went to Bangkok with few things but came back to S'pore with loads of things haha.. We really shopped till we dropped, bought things like crazy during those 2 days of shopping. Everybody had their own shopping buddies when going out to shop. Dear & i were with 4 of my frens & itz really fun to shop in a group.

If i have the chance, i would wan to go back to Bangkok again to shop hehe... Had to drag myself to work 2day coz was super tired this morning & was having a headache. My other colleagues oso complaint of tiredness & headache as well but surprisingly, all turned up 4 work lol... Luckily my boss gave us permission to take a nap in the afternoon.

Well... only uploaded a few photos here coz i m going to slp. Shall update more photos of my Bangkok trip in my next entry. Nite nite ;-)
