Learnt from the news that Shin has left...haven't been following her blog for sometime but the news came as quite a shock cos thought she's been trying out new treatments that can help with her condition.
Read her blog and found out there's a memorial service on Saturday afternoon. Hope her two kids will remain strong as they grow up with their memories of their brave mum.

Chingay 2009
Totally forgot abt the parade until Karel sms me this morning. Didn't bring my camera along but luckily my hp can also take photos and short videos. We went to Shokudo in Raffles City for dinner first and then walk over to Saint Andrews road. He bought tickets near the centre stand and there were seats. The security checkpoint was quite slow with only one personnel checking the bags for each station. The parade was quite interesting and there were fireworks at the end. First time being so close to the fireworks. Quite a nice show.

Singapore Zoo
Haven't been to the Singapore Zoo for a few years already so decided to bring Karel for a visit since he has yet to go there. We arrive around noon and got tickets with the unlimited tram rides.
There was a wide variety of animals and I like the white tigers the most. The giraffes were also pretty. Over at Kidz World there was a goat which just gave birth to 2 black tiny goats that were trying to walk. There were also quite a number of ponies there too. Had lunch at KFC there.
When we were walking from the kangaroo area, a caucasian girl was going on her way to see the baboons and it so happens that a tram full of people were passing and she just said " hello baboons" as if she was addressing them...so funny.
We ate ben & jerry ice-cream before leaving the zoo around 4+pm. It was a fun trip and much of the zoo has changed.

Chinese New Year Celebration
Today in school, we celebrated Chinese New Year. We had a concert where there were lion dance, games, sing-a-long session and dance. The kids were thrilled to see the lion dance. The fusion dance by the P2 girls were also quite cute. I was leading the school in singing the Chinese New Year songs...there were 5 songs in total and the first song we got the rest of the teachers to come on stage to sing together.
After school, I went to Hitachi Towers Green Sanctuary to shape my eyebrows and also get a mini facial. Feels good to have the facial. Took a train to Boon Lay to meet Karel. We bought sushi and had a burnt pepperoni pizza for dinner. Haha... Got the chance to skype with his younger sis and mum too.

Tanglin Mall Mcdonald's
Brought Karel to Ma Maison in Bugis and he likes the food there. Saw the other 2 books of "twilight" available in Kinokuniya but didn't get them yet as I want to check out Borders first. We went to Bugis Street and I bought a blouse for $10. Took a bus to Suntec city before going to Orchard.
Went for my piano lessons before catching a cab to Camden Medical Centre. Supposed to have a JC gathering there but the place is quite pricey. We decided to change location and we went to the nearest mall. As Gloria is on a budget so we had dinner at Mcdonald's...spent a long time chatting and we only left for home around 1130pm.

Catching up
Went to IKEA with my family to look for new curtains for our living room. Couldn't find the bar that is long enough and the curtain designs were not suitable. Had a light snack and I got to eat the Swedish meatballs. We went to Mohd Sultan to have lunch at Yoyogi. I walked over to Riverside point and Central to meet Karel for drinks at tcc in Central. We sat by the riverside after that and it was really windy. I went for my piano lessons and after that Peishi contacted me so I joined her for dinner. I only ordered drinks as I told my parents that I will be home for dinner. Had a good time catching up with her.

Cough cough
Ever since the first day of school where we had to move to our new workstations in the staff room, I had the flu with my sensitive nose. Went home and took panadol but maybe cos I went to sleep after that and didn't take enough water, I ended up with a cough and sore throat.
This morning when I woke up, the sore throat was quite bad and I felt like I was losing my voice soon. Hence I called the school to tell them I can't make it to work today and I went to the polyclinic. I thought I was early and won't need to wait for long, but there were already 50 over people in the queue. The registration took awhile but the consultation was quite fast.
Met Kang Lee at Compasspoint cos I didn't take breakfast and my stomach was growling in the clinic. She commented that I look pale...went home to rest and slept quite alot throughout the day as I didn't want to talk too much.

Ponyo
Met Karel at Plaza Singapura's Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe for snacks before going to Cathay to get tickets for Ponyo. The movie is quite cute and the little girl is very adorable. I have the theme song as my hp ringtone now...went to Sakae sushi for dinner...didn't eat much as I didn't feel like eating. The official ponyo website: http://www.ghibli.jp/ponyo/

Karel is finally back from Netherlands...he brought me 2 xmas gifts...he actually got me "Twilight" and another book from the series!!! A lot of bookstores here have run out of stocks for the books and I was thinking if I should get them when they are available...so happy to receive them as gifts!!! Thank you!
He also gave me chocolates for my family...we went to shokudo for late lunch before I went for my piano lessons. Headed to Vivocity and went to Bonbon Tea for dinner. Tried the potato gratin, ham and cheese pizza, chocolicious red tea and homemade tiramisu ice-cream.

New school year begins
Went back to school for the beginning of a new school year...I'm teaching P1 and P4 Chinese and lots of P3, P5 and P6 music lessons...The children whom I've taught before look happy to see me teaching them music, taking that as a good sign...haha. Arranged to meet Jiahui after work to catch up and exchange Xmas gifts.
We went to Vivocity and had a snack at Superdog before walking around. Was wearing my new heels in school for the whole day and my feet were aching quite badly. Luckily U.R.S. was having a sale so i bought a pair of slippers similar to what Jh was wearing but got it in pink as they have ran out of the bronze pair for my size. We didn't buy any clothes though a few stores were having sales...some were still a little pricey. We went to Sushi Tei for a light dinner before going to Bonbon Tea for drinks...the place is very quaint and nice...seems like not a lot of people notice the shop as it's quite empty on a Friday night. We tried Yummy Tummy for tea and macaroons as well as hazelnut choc cake. The cake was really nice, not too sweet but we felt that the macaroons were too sweet...can hardly finish the 6 we ordered that I had to bring 2 back home.
