BUSY BUSY BUSY.. That's the only word that describes the past week..

It all started on Sat, 4th Sept. Had to report to Sentosa @ 1pm for walk around for the up-coming Maths Mega Race. Spent like the whole day there. Walked from Ferry Terminal all the way to Palawan Beach and back again under the freaking hot sun. Too bad I didn't bring my bikini there to sun tan after that.

Sunday was the only day I could slack ((:

Monday, 5th Sept. Maths Mega Race @ Sentosa for North Zone Cluster Sec 3 kids.


Reporting time- 8am @ Sentosa Ferry Terminal. Nice sun (:

Which means waking up super early. All was well, except for logistic's problem. The lunch delivery was like 3hrs late! Gosh. It was a sunny hot day and 6 facilitators were stationed at point C (the fountain area) without NO shade at all.

Gathered our stuff..




Welcome to OUR station.



The station was HUGE okay, so we were like seperated standing/sitting waiting for the pupils to come to us so that we can give them marks. Problem- some station masters gave the grps wrong names so the score was a bit cocked-up. It was damn hot everyone wore their shades (: AND AND the damn funny thing is that Shao Wei, Karen and I sprayed tanning oil all over our arms and rolled up our white polo tees! So multi-tasking lah! FUNNY.


That's Shao Wei.


Tanning oil time (: We were looking at something. I forgot what! Ha.


Station C facils- Kim, Shao Wei, Raphael, Kathyann, Karen. Jasmine's MIA.

So, all was well until the initial lunch break at 11am took place. We closed our stations, and the 2 guys, Shao Wei and Raphael went to help us collect our lunch while we sat under some shade. We waited for damn damn long, but they didnt return.

So, we started taking photos!!


With our First Aid Kits :P


The girls @ Station C- Karen, Jasmine, Kathyann, Kim

Then we realized lunch wasnt delivered yet! Ugh. So everyone was at the Ferry Terminal grumbling cuz they were hungry. Waited for abt 1hr until we were told to carry on the trail and lunch was changed to 1pm.

Went back to our stations, so little people came.. I was sitting at the fountain doing nothing! Stupid Shao Wei was at Karen's side.. So, some people were cleaning the pool which put me into a serious awkward situation. THANKS so much to Karen and Shao Wei. BOO!


The macho guys carrying our lunch over (: The caterer so forgot to bring trolly's lah!


LUNCH! (:

Lunch was delivered, BUT new problems aroused. They had to divide the lunch point- Palawan and Ferry Terminal and some grps arrived at the wrong lunch point. There was also not enough vegetarian lunches around. Grrrr.


Gao Wei's waterbottle!! FUNNY.


Facils (: 20 all together. Some are @ Palawan! Ha.

So, after lunch I think everyone was tired.. Our station was EMPTY! haha. Sititng down there doing nothing. Luckily I asked Raphael to accompany me! Otherwise I'll be left alone there AGAIN.


Slacking already... SO BORING!

We tried to end early, after sitting there tanning my arms for a while.. Collated the scores for Station C.


It was so filled with sec 3 kids. SO MANY PEOPLE!


Trophy's for top 20 groups! (:

Prize presentation, and BYE BYE to all of them and HELLO to $70 and TANNING TIME!



Went to Siloso beach, tanned with Karen and Shao Wei for like 1hr.




Then headed all the way to Downtowneast for class bbq. I AM SO TIRED! GRR!
Not uploading photos from there. We looked too shag already.

And I thought I could slack at home on tues.. but aunt called and asked me to help Mark to study :S so, made my way down after dinner for 'tuition' like for 3hrs. Haha. Saw Vic's artwrok for her O levels, snapped pics with my lousy 1.3megapix hp cam. But still, its DAMN DAMN NICE! Headed home at ard close to 12am.


For those goons, u can click to enlarge it! Haha. I think her art work is FAB!

6th Sept, Wed. Plans to meet @ Chinatown 10am to do some stupid project. Food race something. I still do not know wth this is for. In the end, we ended up walking around Chinatown snapping photos!


Chinatown Heritage Centre..

Then we walked to Tanjoing Pagar in search of Red Dot Design Museum. Walk walk walk... I spotted...


TONG HENG EGG TARTS!!!!!!


They are THE MOST DELICIOUs, FABULOUS, WONDERFUL, TASTY egg tarts ever! I LOVE THEM!

Since we had time, we stopped to sit down while I munched on it (:


What a prominant building! Its..




Some drawings..

Then we headed to Singapore City Gallery.




MY house!

They had miniture Singapore! Haha. I think I heard YJ say that even the blocks are placed correctly! I can't seem to spot mine though :x


TOWN!! SHOPPING! (:

More pics!




We then went to eat lunch @ Maxwell Hawker. Met Hui Fang there.


Yummy. Been a long time since i ate congee!

Stoned @ Mac, got bored, went to town for a walk then 4pm, headed down office for camp briefing! Super short briefing. Ended at like 4.45pm! (:

After briefing, some of us facils headed to Mac to eat, but we went there to drink! Damn hot okay, walking the whole bloody day again. Sat there, talk talk talk, laugh laugh laugh, crap crap crap. Crazy bunch of people. Butt warmed until dinner time then HOME! to complete feedback forms.

I planned my Thursday so damn nicely already. Get Jason over at 11am to hlp me carry 6 stacks of feedback forms (abyt 350 sheets of paper per stack) back to office then lunch. Then down to Suntec for fire drill which was supposed to start at 2pm. At like 12pm, received a msg from my FM saying that it starts at 4pm! Wth. SO DAMN LAST MIN OKAY. Pissed already. Nvm, after staring at Jason eat Tom Yum @ office's hawker centre I went down town to meet YJ.

Was a bad day already because I was wearing heels that so hurt! Ugh. No choice but to eat lunch to kill time, walked around (Yes, in my stupid heels which HURT!) to kill time again until 4pm. Reached the Convention Centre, WAIT AGAIN. All they did was issue out our passes and badges.



I'm not very proud of this lah huh, but still. IMF! Like WOW. Zzzz.

I wanna complain, where the hell is my christian name?! You know that I do not like my chinese name. Uh, actually I'm kinda okay with it already! As in, okay with my chinese name IF you do not pronounce it wrongly! GRR.

Nvm, then what. WAIT SOMEMORE! They wanted to start the walk about at 5.30pm! Ok fine, my legs were so damn pain already so it was a definite NO for shopping! So what, sat there played a few rounds of Bingo and STONED. When it was 5.30pm, we walked. SUCH a SHORT one. they deployed us at our area and told us to wait for the fire drill which was supposed to start at 6pm.

Ok fine, so we waited. AND WAITED. We were at the carpeted area and I got damn pissed already I so didnt bother abt whoever came over and I started lying down to make myself comfy. Floor 6 ppl said the drill was gonna start at 7pm, but my stupid FM did not say ANYTHING. Gah. I was so pissed already. Then we saw ppl proceeding to the overflow room, and some guy came over and made me MORE pissed! Ushered us into the bloody room. For what? Do nothing also. WAIT again. I was so gonna leave lah. It was already 6.15pm that time. But, we were gonna meet Han Loon and gang at 7pm. So we still had time to kill, so we just sat there. I had like a black face already.

6.50pm, the drill hasnt STARTED! Wth. I couldn't bother anymore, Karen, YJ and I left.

Meet Han Loon, Yong Sin and Kenneth @ Pizza Hut. Shall not bitch about the waiting time again.


Ordered and ATE! Was staring @ the ad while waiting for the guys..


The read deal (:




Kenneth, Yong Sin, Karen, Kim, Yi Juan, Han Loon (:

Catched up on some issues then went to B&J for dessert! ((:


Cam-whoring as usual.


Ice cream we ordered!


Han Loon looks SO happy that I cant see his eyes!!



This obviously belongs to Mr. Kenneth Chia.


Us once more. (Attn Kenneth Chia- LOL!)

Crapped, laughed, joked until like 10+pm.

Thurs totally pissed me off big time. Moral of the story, DO NOT ever step on my tail when I'm having shoe issues! (:

Ok, so I was dead tired when I came home at around 11pm, but I havent prepared a single thing for camp the next day yet! So much cutting to do. Made myself cut the stupid squares thingy before sleeping.

Woke at 5am on Friday! Meet YJ and Karen @ the MRT station at like 6.20am.


This was how it looked like. Zzzz. SLEEP PLS!

Took the train all the way to Tampines! The whole journey, CUTTING and CUTTING! Haha. Then we took a bus down to St. Hilda's Pri Sch.

Camp started at 8am. Relatively easy job. I had nice kids, thankfully! (:


My kiddies (:

Trail was super easy, ended early so we played games like Dog and Bone and Duck Duck Goose. They also played Ice and Water. Then had lunch, had Quiz in the classroom.. Then lastly mass TeleMath. Ended off with the classic MONEY MONEY game with the FLOUR! Grrr.

7 of us squeezed in Keryn's van back to office (: then HOME!!! dinner! Yayness.

Damn busy week, and Monday is the start of IMF. 10 days working. Gosh. So NO LIFE with a pathatic allowance of $35/day.

And the bbq is confirmed! Booked the pit @ West Coast already on 23 sept!
