A post for a week

Hello. The last post was when holidays just started, and now, it s the end of the first week of term two. Been really busy the past week, including the second half of the March hols. Been busy mugging and chionging holiday homework, but in the end couldnt finish and was worrying and stressed up that i just screwed up my term 2 which promised to be more organised and better than term 1. Anyway, here to update more or less what happened in the past 17 days.

Uncle passed away on Sunday and had to make a trip to Malaysia for the funeral. Left Singapore for Malacca on Wed and the North South Highway is just as boring as ever.



>>> Just a fraction of the road that seems never ending



>>> After the rain



>>> That was how bored i was

Reached Malacca after more than 3 hours on the road and checked in at Bayview Hotel to spend the night. Stocked up on some snacks and had pizza for dinner before going for the wake. There wasnt much sobbing and sadness maybe coz it had been 3 days by the time we reached there. But i think mainly it s because he is considered as a person who has lived his life to more or less the fullest, having about 15 grandchildren as of today. The kids running about lightened up the atmosphere some how. I m not very close to him but yet, a loss is a loss, you cant do much after what s happened but to bid a final proper goodbye. Went back to the hotel for a good night sleep and a long day the next day.



>>> Was lucky that the hotel had Star Sports. Watched first half of Chlesea vs Derby.



>>> Cafe



>>> I need proteins



>>> Father said the building has been there uncompleted for 20 years. Developer ran out of funds to continue the project and it has been left there to rot ever since.

The funeral was not a grand and big one, but it was quite meaningful to stop by his air con shop on the way to the cemetery. Had a bus ride to the cemetery and didnt play much part in the burial as we werent close to him. Anyway had a bath and went back to Singapore after having dinner in the car.



>>> It wasnt easy staying up with this kind of conditions. Cooling and dark, repetitive tyre noise and some non-existent music.

My job was to keep my father awake the whole journey but was dozing off a couple of times. Hope that i wont have to drive long distances in future, it s a torture. Dropped by a petrol kiosk on the way back and stocked up on gums.

The rest of the hols were basically chionging hw and revising a bit of the term 1 work. But i ended up watching EPL whenever i intend to do serious work. How can i resist the charm of Liverpool?

Term 2 started and the first lesson was a chem lecture test. Was more or less able to do but not really sure about the second question. Spent quite alot of time on it and couldnt complete the last question, did halfway, but shld be able to pass. The day was long and i must really get used to it soon.

Tuesday was long and boring but i had something to look forward to at the end of the day. Had a soccer session at CCAB at around 5pm to 7 plus. Didnt play well but enjoyed the kicking. It feels so good after all the serious stuff in school.

Wednesday nothing much happened but i had to stay back to finish my GP essay. Fell asleep the night before while planning for it and couldnt complete. Stayed till 6 but i think it was still marked as late and will have 2 marks deducted. Oh well.

Thursday was another stressful day. First thing in the morning was some GP surprise test. Didnt know a thing about it. Forgot everything about the lecture in the first term about premises, fallacies and all the crap. Anyhow tikam at the last minute. Was mugging on the move last minute for bio test at 5 pm. The test was ok but couldnt do about 6 mcqs. Shld be able to pass too. Maybe i shld just take the risk and just answer the qn instead of beating around the bush, wasting time thinking but in the end skip it and have no time to come back to it. Anyway, was looking forward to Track training and sort of enjoyed the running. Had continual 100m sprints or rather striding for about 5 reps only since i was late due to the test. Then it was some 40m dash to see how fast we can go. At least didnt come in last among the 3. Bathed and met parents to have dinner at potong pasir. Met sis at AMK hub after that and went home.

Today was soccer in the morning at PP CC court with Zi Xiang, Jun Jie, Shawn, Ryan, Donavan and friends. Played well at the start and end, but was pretty off in the middle. Went to SAJS after that to clean up and went home for lunch. Slacked around for a few hours listening to music on the stereo and went to Raffles City for dinner. The place is Shukudo. Its some Jap restaurant that has a similar system to the food loft in Thailand. They give cards with 100 bucks credit and you go around the food stalls to order and they deduct from the amount in the card. The food s pretty good but obviously ex.



>>> Good environment, good food.



>>> Raffles City basement 1 - food paradise

Walked around Raffles City after dinner and to Marks and Spencer when sis spotted this.



>>> Yep, it s just some solid organic milk chocolate bunnies for Easter. There s some stuff toy rabbit head to the chocolate.



>>> Notice anything wrong?



>>> How about this?

NOTHING IS PERFECT!!! and people makes mistakes all the time. [ but the deformed rabbit look cuter, heh]

Walked around and noticed a new fashion trend!



>>> The caveman-like costume is back! Just have to cover half of your top!

Left Raffles City and drove around with family to Marina Bay to see see. Saw the IR works and nothing much, it s pretty much dead there. Used to fly kite frequently there. Yes i m serious, fly kite, not the funny term. It was quite fun to fly kites there, it requires skill you know!

Decided to visit the Flyer to see see look look.



>>> First time there



>>> Oh how my camera phone sucks at night



>>> This is how the passengers board






>>> No wonder there s Safety First sign there la. Yakult rainforest discovery???!!! Since when yakult is into rainforests! Anway the 'rainforest' is just crap la, just some plants in there. No trees or anything.

Left the Flyer after that for home and here i am typing as i m dozing off. Good nightz!
