Oh my, oh my... There is so much to talk about, especially about last friday. And so, I shall spend my time blogging while waiting for that baka neko to appear.

Friday, 4th August 2006. Sentosa.
NAFA Sport's Day!!! How cool could it get? That was so much better than last year's. And, guess what? Enx, LH, Juls and I participated, quite impromtu I admit, in the Telematch down at Tanjong Beach, and Enx, I and the team, made up of quite a number of guys from the Music Department, got a 'Second Runner-Up' medal while the other two got the 'First Runner-up'. Why could they not, the organisers, just simply put First, Second and Third? That would be so much easier. Anyway, make a guess what Enx said after receiving the medal. You will not believe it, neither did we when we heard it. She said, "In all of my 18 years, this is the first time I got a medal." And so did Juls. Horrers!!! Oh well... I am quite glad to say this is my third medal I received during a Sport's Day event; one from primary school, another in secondary and another one here at NAFA. So, you enjoyed yourself tremondously? What do you mean by 'yourself'? What about you??? And yes, I enjoyed myself tremondously. For more details, check out that baka neko's blog: http://theextraordinaryme.blogspot.com/

And yes, we took alot of photos (close to a hundred) of the event, the clouds, the beach, the sky and some Peacocks and Peahens. LH took some shots of ships while I was away. It was not that I let him take those shots, it was because I entrusted him to take care of it. Anyway, I have not upload them but am planning to. Came home tanned, a bit sun-burned because I did not apply the sunblock properly, tired, happy and then a bit grouchy due to the horrid bus system which took goodness-knows-how-many minutes to arrive at the busstop. So, that was my friday.

Saturday, 5th August 2006. Home.
Nothing much exciting happened except the usual Weekly Dog-Bathing Event a.k.a Yukie's bath, piano practising and then teaching Godma the piano. However, I went out to Parco Bugis to meet Manda, Wen, Ching, Jenn and Jas to celebrate Manda's birthday at Swenson's. After that, we walked about Parco. We, especially Manda, had some fun 'dressing-up' Ching by making her try on different clothes. It became sort of a parade. And then it was my turn. Well, sort of but they could not. Muahahahaha!!! I had to dissappear at 5pm to get myself to church. However, as I was feeling hungry, I went off to Cold Storage to get myself a pack of sushi. Went off to the cashier's and found the line quite long, or rather, time consuming. Whatever it was, I got myself to church by 6 and Mum was asking what took me so long. Heehee! Could not tell her about my trip to Cold Storage, could I? ;)

Sunday, 6th August 2006. Home.
As usual, nothing much happened. Went to teach at Balestier and had to say 'good-bye' to my little student as her grandmother wanted to withdraw her as they stay rather far away i.e in Jurong. So, I am left with one student on Sunday. At least she is better than nothing. Went off for lunch with the parents after that and then off to Sheng Siong to do some marketing with Mumzy. Got home and got onto the internet to check out the airfares to Melbourne and also to find out about the Australian visa. In the end, we bought the tickets online, which I will be collecting later at Clemancaue Ave, and also applied for the visas. So, yup, I have to study hard for me exams and pass all so that I will not have to worry about resitting any of the exams. *Cross fingers!*

Enx is already here. Actually, she has been here about an hour now but is doing her own research for her programme-notes assignment which reminds me that this assignment is due next thursday!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Oh dear...

Did I mention that us four girls and ZQ went for Sushi buffet last thursday? No? No. Oh. Well, we did simply because to satisfy Juls craving and also as a way to celebrate the completion of our Analysis assignment (I felt that mine was not done well, but, heck!). Enx wanted to buy a belt from Bugis Street but because of us all feeling tired and lethargic, we head back to school where we found a studio. I ended up sleeping on the floor. Juls came in about an hour later as she had a dental appointment nearby and slept on the floor too. (We switched off the lights.)

I went to the Marine Parade Community Library to check out some travel guides on Melbourne and Australia, and went away with 3 thick books. My library limit has been used up to the brim. After that, Dad and I went to visit, as Mumzy calls him, "that little monster" and was nearly bitten by him quite a few times on my shoulder and then on my shorts. This "little monster" is already on the way to being 16 months old and is running around like nobody's business. Took a few photos of him and showed him his face which he found amusing. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my nephew.

As for today, I went for my early morning piano class at Ms Lim's and learned more about the muscles in my body, especially in the arms, shoulders and lower body. How fasinating... "Must relax your muscles..." so says Ms Lim.

Well, that is all for now. Have to start on the history pairwork soon. Toodles!
