So 14th June marked the end of my fulfilling experience of being a teacher in K! AND I would say it was the best first working experience I've had. Getting to work with kids who can brighten up you days which are not your days and laughing at their silly ways made my 5 months there worth it all.
Made those cards for the special kids and colleagues (actually were more than colleagues but really good friends) whom I've worked with over the past 5 months
My cute little all-boys group except for a little 'intruder' in the middle, HAHAH!!! Will really miss these hooligans dearly :' )


My awesome colleagues who bought me a cake plus a candle that made it seem like my birthday, and a cup of icecream from Gelare just downstairs. HAHAHAH The super touching card I received from Group 2 all thanks to Teacher Hanisahhhh


This cute little boy who wanted to take a picture with me before he leaves with his parents. HE'S GONNA BE SO HANDSOME PLS he's so fairrrr


When my group was full, still missed those who withdrew ;)

Overall it was the best thing anyone would have wished for. Choosing to work with kids was not a choice I would ever regret cus despite the bad times we have with them, they always seem to erase those away with their cuteness and innocence.


Had dinner at Toastbox after work with mum and sis and did a lil shopping before going home. At least the kids know where to find me cus they know I always shop around Jurong Point. Like seriously, even the parents I got to know and chat alot with have seen me there. HAHAHAHHA!!!

Though it really didn't feel like it was my last day cus it was all so surreal and I felt that I was going to see them again next week like my daily routine, I think when it finally hits me I'm gonna miss it more.

Oh no I just completed my last assignment on the job which was to type our a student report for each of my students so the incoming teacher that will be taking over me will know more about their individual character and personality. I am already feeling sad to leave them cus while I type I actually realise how much I actually know or discovered about each of them, be it their behaviour or their standards in their academics. I won't be able to anticipate Evan's silly antics and his foolish ways, Chun Sheng's habit to make funny faces just to get my attention and make me laugh, Stetson's annoying habit of getting distracted when he is supposed to be their big brother in the group, the twins foolish and super entertaining fights and random singing, or Danish whenever he slips into his own world and you have to entertain his stories abit and even Jaden who loves to share with you stories about his family and being so sweet all the time in helping me with whatever he can.

HAHAHAHHA OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO MISS EVERYONE OF THEM....

Even the kids in the other groups like Keane who loves to annoy me and disturb me just to get my attention with his silly laughter.

SIGHHH I'm going to enjoy myself on my last week next week with my colleagues as well and I will definitely miss our crapping/gossip sessions.

AHHHH :'(

Saturday

Suppose to meet B.A.B at 11.30am cus smart us thought JEM was already opened but when I checked their website that morning, the official opening would be on 11 June instead omg. SO SMART REALLY. Imagine how embarrassing it'll be for us to meet there and discover that IT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION... So since everyone was mia at that time and Gek needed to help her mum out with stuff, I went to Jurong Safra (ya visit my workplace again on a saturday like I MISS THE PLACE) cus there was a sale. HAHAHAH


my #ootd or if you put it, #wiwt, AND I hope I keep up with doing sit ups and crunches so I can see abs not flabs. LOLOLOL


YESSS I finally got a Kate Spade wallet after contemplating for so bloody long. Feels damn good to use my hard earned money on something I've always been wanting to get. ACHIEVEMENT 

So change of plans, met up with B.A.B @ Causeway Point instead at 1pm. Shopped around myself first since I got there, Gek joined later and then Mason. Walked a whole round of Causeway Point just to find their Seoul Garden but we failed and what's best is that we saw something even better. HAHAHA So we had our lunch at Shabu Shabu Sukiyaki Japanese Hotpot which was SUPERBBB


The soups we chose were bloody good though it got burn at the bottom and I just couldn't smell the chao ta smell. THE BEEF WAS THE BEST, and we had a serious crapping session that made me laugh like shit cus I think my senses were shutdown due to the hunger I suffered before we got a seat at the place. HAHAHAHHA OMG SOOO GOOD MUST GO THERE AGAIN.


Cus there's GSS nowww, I got a top. I realise I cannot resist myself from shopping now shitttt.

Sunday

The Hot Girls plus one 'hunk' went out for lunch as suggested last Sunday but my cousins couldn't make it. THE FOOD WAS SO SO SO GOOD OK.

Met up with Schuyler and Sydney along with my sis at Pioneer Mrt and trained down to Somerset to meet my aunt at Paragon. Had lunch at P.S Cafe and right when we came, they served the Truffle Fries which was oh so addictive. And I had Portobello Mushroom Stack which includes turkey ham, basil leaves, spinach and sliced cheese which went so good with their house sauce which was something like sour cream. EXPLOSION OF GOODNESS IN MY MOUTH WITH EVERY BITE OK even looking at the picture now is making me hungry. HAHAHAHA



The other main courses the rest ordered were good as well like The Big (all day breakfast), Spaghetti Bolognaise, and Laksa Pesto. It was so filling ok and there after we went down basement to get dessert from New Zealand Icecream and Gongcha. SHIOK PLEASE

For dinner, we all settled at Great World City and had desserts together at TCC cus my aunt wanted to treat everyone for her birthday. Cus there was wifi, everyone (as in me and my sis and my two cousins) got instagram crazy taking pic and uploading and liking. HAHHAHA


our Puffy Triplets


and... my Oreo Cookies Milkshake which was too milky but still satisfying.

I tell you by the end of this two days I really wanted to die cus my stomach had to digest all the good food. LOLOLOL So much good food in two days, I feel so freaking blessed. HAHAAH

good food = happy girl

I LOVE MY WEEKENDS  ♥ ♥ ♥ 

OH  and I am officially resigning as a teacher on 15 June which is next Friday. 

Goodbye to crazy, hectic yet fun days with my kids ☹ BUT HELLO FREEDOM

Sunday

Had giant strawberries my aunt bought with crushed rock sugar for breakfast along with the banana ball kueh my mum bought in the morning.  Travelled down to tiong and it was raining bloody heavily so thank god we were sheltered all the way from the bus stop to my grandma's place!

The rest came shortly after and dayiyi bought stuff for tea again. Had all of the cakes and kueh below plus haägen dazs vanilla + bnj's new york chocolate fudge crunch icecream together with sis and cousins.

Every Sunday is feasting day seriously. Hahaha and we went to Raffles City for dinner and satisfied my craving for yong tau fu dry with noodles. Damn shiokkk and I had gongcha right after while the rest bought yoguru and once upon a milkshake.

Don't want tomorrow to come leh walaooooo

Thursday

Met up with Richelle (after a long time) for dinner after work at JP's Toast Box. The last time I met her was during J1 before promos and it felt like a long time ago. LOLOLOL

Had Toast Box's famous curry rice (my standard buy whenever I eat there) and decided to head up to Ji De Chi for desserts.


With the blur girl who misheard the cashier while ordering food thrice, ALMOST took the wrong escalator, and offed her camera twice in attempt to take selca shots. HAHAHHAAHHAHA I almost died



YESSSS that's our Strawberry + Mango shaved ice with mochi and lychee balls that explodes in your mouth and sends you up to heaven and back down. HAHAHAH 


Our happy faces after finishing it and we ordered another cus the mango was so goooood


Mango shaved ice with Nata de coco, passion fruit balls which tasted weird and mangoes

It was a really short meet up but the desserts really sent us home satisfied and happy. LOLOLOL and what's best is that the following day was Vesak Day and I have no work!!! 

Vesak Day

So had a girls day out with my mum and sis for a shopping spree. Went to this shop near peninsula shopping center and the shop had a bloody wide variety of shoes which were sold at a reasonable price. And despite the bloody wide variety, I got nothing there. HAHAHAHHA AND my mum couldn't stop nagging at how choosy and picky we were. Had lunch at Funan Mall and went back to city hall and trained to somerset to shop around at 313. Went to HnM and got some stuff before heading to taka cus we had a 50bucks voucher to spend on. Got Hello Kitty Sanrio stuff from there and walked around the food hall to check out the eateries. Ended up heading to cine for fast food cus taka was BLOODY PACKED. Omg I swear it was like a human flood and we even got difficulties exiting the place. My uncle called and we realised we were actually kinda close cus he said they were at taka. HAHAH so coincidental pls so we decided to head back there after dinner to meet. As usual Ally and Cyrus were crazy in public but it was fun getting to see them. They sent us home and it was ridiculous how long it took for us to exit the carpark cus it was packed with cars going down. Lesson learnt, never head to town on a public holiday. Got home in time to watch Rooftop Prince, HAHAHHA all 3 of us watch it ok its our regular drama session. Lucky Jang Ok Jung and Fugitive of Joseon are not in our friday slots at 9pm otherwise we would have missed an epi. HAHAHAH

Today

Nothing much actually, woke up around 11 and spent the time watching the latest epi of Running Man with sis. Decided to spam movies on my own after that since my sis had to study.


Both were good seriously so it was a time well spent. HAHAHAHAH and after my sis had her study session, we decided to watch an epi of Running Man which we didn't watch and I swear it was one of the most epic episodes seriously I laugh until I cried. LOLOLOLOLOL DAMNNN FUNNY.

Mum bought back cereal chicken with rice for dinner and my tummy is satisfied.

tummy satisfied = happy girl

Went for NUS FASS Luncheon today and the food was not bad. HAHAHAH Yes my intention was to go there for the food and also to clear my doubts of course. It really got me psyched up for uni life cus the courses are all so interesting and I already made new friends there! hahha kind of a random meeting actually. Met this girl Joanne who's from Nanyang JC while entering the school cus we took the same bus down and we just started talking. hahaha she was really nice, and we had similar interests in the majors that we wanna take so hopefully we'll become school mates! Her friends came too and I got to know them as well. HAHAHA Just one day like that and I got to socialise already. So we got to talk with the head profs/current students during the luncheon and later and we toured around the booths at their shaw foundation building. Kind of know what to expect already since we got a head start of what we'll be facing when semester starts. NERVOUSSSS...

Left the friends I got to meet today at Clementi Station cus some were heading back home and a few had to get something at Clementi Mall. Made my way to KOI and got myself milk tea. HAHAHAH couldn't resist the temptation of getting KOI when I'm at Clementi. LOLOLOL

Then I got a text from Sha saying that I was suppose to be there for College Day so they prob sent my letter to my old address. HAHAHA since I can just collect my cert any other day and I didn't wanna go thru the trouble of travelling to cck and walk up stage again, I ditched it. PLUSSS I remember last year's College Day, our class was forced by Por to attend it and we were dying to leave the hall. HAHAHA AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED A WHATSAPP GRP WITH POR "11A04 CHITCHAT" TO DISCUSS ON ECONS. HAHAHAHHA MEMORIES...

Home since I dunno when and caught up with Running Man, HAHAH IN THIS COOLING WEATHER, SLACKING AT HOME IS BROUGHT ALL THE WAY UP TO A WHOLE NEW BLOODY SHIOK LEVEL!!!

T.G.I.F MANNNN I can't wait for work to end today (though I am still home and it's still 2 hours more till work starts)

Anyway I am loving my tv schedules for the week cus the new dramas (and maybe some old but I haven't watched it before) are super good seriously. After Iris 2 ended, a new drama took over its wed/thur 9pm slot and it's called The Fugitive of Joseon

Currently at episode 2 now and IT'S SOO GOOD. Plus there's people like Lee Dong Wook, Song Ji Hyo and the cute lil girl from The Princess' Man, Kim Yu Bin. I really like korean historical dramas cus I don't know why but the plot is more heart-wrenching and emotional.

 So for my 9pm Mon/Tue, I have Jang Ok Jung to watch, another historical drama

Jang Ok-Jung-p01.jpg

I only found out it was playing when it was showing the 3rd episode so I missed the beginning. AND KIM TAE HEE IS THE LEADING ACTRESS WHOOHOOO. The lead actor Yoo Ah In is not bad too, he's damn cheeky and funny. Overall, damn good cast too.

And after both of these dramas, my 10pm slot everyday would be Rooftop Prince


SUPER FUNNY DRAMA I SWEAR. Not one episode is boring. Especially the supporting dudes who came from the past are ridiculously funny. Can't really explain it here cus you gotta go watch it for yourself to know. DAMN GOOD.... Plus the lead actress really reminded me of Song Hye Kyo from Full House. 

So Mon and Tues Jang Ok Jung + Rooftop Prince, Wed and Thurs The Fugitive of Joseon + Rooftop Prince, and Friday would be WGM GLOBAL EDITION + Rooftop Prince. HAHHAHAHA SHIOK RIGHT, this is also why I look forward to the end of work everyday so I can slump on my couch and enjoy such great entertainment. HAHAHAH

LOVIN' THE LIFE NOW!!!

And everytime there's some event going on in NUS that I have to attend, it just reminds me more that UNI IS STARTING. Received an invitation to FASS Luncheon tmr at 11.30am and it's also their open house so we can check out our new school which we'll be attending in Aug. Hoping it'll be good cus it'll probably give us a head start of what we'll expect when school starts.

Saturday

So I finally met up with my JC clique at Somerset on Saturday for a meal and some shopping. I made my way down earlier to shop around for a mother's day gift at Taka and I got her Anna Sui's Lipstick to add to her Anna Sui's collection. HAHAH and since Gek was already at HnM, I made my way there afterwards. As usual Mason was going to be late, 45minutes late.

Anna Sui's Lipstick I got for my mum

Went to shop around in HnM while Gek got her friend a gift. I managed to find a dress I really liked and I bought it too. HAHAHAH shopping for stuff really made my day seriously. And awhile later Minming called asking if I could make it for a surprise celebration for Fanxin. HAHAHHA super last minute I know but since I was in town and she was too, I thought like why not and plus I didn't have any dinner plans. AND I get to meet Fanxin and the rest after dinosaur years. HAHAHAH 

Finally met Mason and we made our way to make reservations at Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery and Ruth and Pearl came after. The food there was damn good ok every bite of my "I ♡ NY"  that included fluffy scrambled eggs with smoked salmon plus cream cheese with bagels on the side and cute tomatoes WERE LIKE HEAVEN BURSTING IN MY MOUTH LOLOLOL. 


 I ♡ NY
Cus we swag like that 
 From left: Ruth Pearl Gek Myself and Mason
 Artistic shot (my idea)
 Beauties and the beast (Gek and Ruth retarded waving)
And it was really sweet of Mason to get us a bunch of stuff from his Taiwan trip. The hello kitty lolly is freaking cute I don't think I'll ever eat it. HAHAHA 

Left the place to walk around Orchard and there was like an event going on and they were giving out balloons so kiddy us went to get them. Suck helium and went high along orchard. 



HAHAHA I swear we were damn lame can but it was so fun. I think I sucked too much helium to get my head straight. HAHAH

Walked down to Ion and I got a Sephora Philosophy card from one of the model girls which I can redeem a free gift from. HAHAHA which I did redeem la typical singaporean. It was a bunch of moisturiser so it's not bad. Then we went to taka, hoping to try Laduree Macarons but the queue was too long and it was about time for me to meet Minming and Jennis. So I left my JC friends and met Minming and Jennis at taka's bus stop which wasn't hard to find. HAHAHHA hardly frequent in orachard ya.

We took a bus down to Upper Thompson Road and headed for Little Part 1 cafe which was FREAKING HARD TO FIND. HAHAHAH even the organiser got lost ahem ahem. Had a great catch up with Gaya, Jess and Alvin while writing cards and since Minming had to pick Fanxin up from Clementi. Peiying and Angie came after.


 Since I didn't prepare anything I decided to give her my balloon PLUS feelin' naughty really suited a 19th birthday. HAHAHAHAH
 The cake was AWESOMEEEE
Pretty Fanxin, missed her sooo much!!! 
Jessie cutie pie, missed her so much too!!!
Group shot! 

It was a pity more people couldn't come but it was really great just to meet the few above!!! Cus I already spent too much and some of us were still full, we had desserts and drinks instead. And though the place was so ulu and it was troublesome for us to make our way home, what really mattered most was I got to catch up with the people I really missed!!!! Really needa catch up properly with them since we only spent a short time together :( 

Overall it was a satisfying Saturday!!!

Sunday

Sunday was the usual, trained down to tiong. Sis and I decided to get soya milk from mr bean to share cus the sun was SCORCHING like there's no tmr. THE WEATHER SUCK EH NOWADAYS...

Reached my granny's place and even my ahma was complaining about the heat. It was really hot seriously. Dayiyi came after and she bought Curry Chicken and Roast duck for late lunch. IT WAS DAMN SHIOK I SWEAR plus it's been damn long since we had curry chicken. SHIOK SHIOK SHIOK and as usual she kept saying "敢敢吃 OK!!!" HAHAHAHHA

After that we wanted to have pepsi float with my cousins but I think we forgot. HAHAHAH PLUS THE CURRY MADE US FULL.

Even during dinner, we didn't really have dinner. We had desserts for dinner. Yoguru, Auntie Anne's, Garrett Popcorn (CHEESE+CARAMEL ALMOND) our usual combi. EAT AND EAT OMG I kept drowning myself with water cus I didn't wanna get a sore throat the next day, which I didn't. THANK GOD. HAHAHAHAHA

BEST WEEKEND EVER
