Another Un-Productive Weekend
Woke up at 8 am. Was supposed to go JB with my parents today.
But dad had to work so I ended up falling asleep after I had my breakfast.
Woke up in the afternoon and watch my Da Chang Jin DVDs. *grin*
Fell asleep again when it started raining in the late afternoon.
Woke up for dinner and here I am. Trying to get some work done but ended up doing up my blog instead.
*sigh*

Good Friday
Tuition early this morning. Woke up early but, as usual, dilly-dallied until I was late.
It just wasn't my day today. Missed the 1 pm bus by a couple of minutes and so waited in the clubhouse for the 2 pm bus. Called Robin and got him to book tickets for the Inside Man at the new Cathay theatre. Clubhouse was flooded with small kids who were having a birthday party. Couldn't start marking my papers in front of them, so... took out my cross-stitching. Was so engrossed in my cross-stitch trying to block out the kids that I managed to block out the 2 pm bus too. Sigh...
Weather was real bad, very heavy thunderstorm. So called a cab to get down to Plaza Sing.
Carrefour was having a sale and I spent over a hundred bucks on lingerie! Enough of shopping, I went down to Long John's for a late lunch. Argh! So many teenagers! So, once again, couldn't do any marking.
Got a message from Robin that he'd be late. So, I took my time to jalan-jalan in Plaza Sing. Long Qs in the toilet too. But, he wasn't that late after all. By the time he called me when he was at Cathay, I had just left Plaza Sing. Oops!
Thankfully, Cathay is actually very near to Plaza Sing and we were just in time for the movie.
The movie was interesting - indie soundtrack, superfluous characters like Jodie Foster, kinda slow storyline - but not too bad a show after all.
Dun really like the new Cathay - stupid price boards for the snacks make it really hard for you to figure out what you want to order, sound system too loud, backs of seats too vertical and seats not very comfortable.
Went to Tao's for dinner and was duly impressed by their service. They allowed us to order one set dinner to share between the two of us. Floor was a bit dirty but other than that, no complains about the food. Food was great and presentation of the food even better. Prices a bit pricey but not bad if you're in a big group and staying a long time. They also have live music outdoors till 9 pm.
Brought Robin over to Hark's and place was really lively! Stayed till 2 am listening to music and then we walked to Somerset so I can catch my NR. Along the way, sang to him and he gave comments on what songs might be suitable for my voice. Almost missed my NR while we were talking...
Had this feeling of happiness when I was on the bus. I must say, I really enjoy spending time with him. But not sure if there's anything more? Sometimes, I wonder if I might get up the courage to ask him, but at other times, I'm not sure if I want to rock the boat.

Speech Day
Cannot disparage anybody since this blog is open to the public.
So, shall just talk about my evening out with my colleagues after the Speech Day.
Luckily, I left my new Adidas shoes with Angela's car after the KL trip. Had a change of shoes and my feet were in heaven. I had been standing since 2pm when I got to the CC and started on refreshment duty. Feet have never screamed so much in pain since my days as a salesgirl after my O-levels.
Managed to get the group to go Blooie's but Joshua wanted a place with music. Went on to this row of pubs along Pasis Panjang but live music will come on only after midnight. It was only 9.30pm so we decided to go Emerald Hill instead. Alex was coming in a cab with his gf and we called him to inform him of the change in venue.
Along the way, we passed by Tanjong Pagar and we decided to go Club Street instead. So, we called Alex about the 2nd change in venue. Oops...
Over at Club Street, had to find food first for Alex's gf who hasn't eaten and Angela was also feeling hungry. So, walked over to China Square. Finally settled on this Belgian pub and restaurant.
Not bad. Fries was decent and meatballs very juicy. The cold sausages wasn't as grossed as I thot it might be. Drinks were fantastic. I had lambic beer again. It's very sour and not many people can take to it. As usual, couldn't finish a pathetic 500ml glass and Angela helped me finish the last mouth-full.
Thankfully, I remembered that I have tuition the next morning and we didn't spend too late. Reached home about 2+ am. Didn't take any antihistamine. Think my alcohol tolerance has been going up after I started hanging out with my colleagues. *grin*

KL Trip (Part 3)
Woke up at 8 in the morning. Was supposed to go grab tickets to go up the Twin Petronas Towers. Found Alex and Noel missing. Not sure if they went to grab the tickets, but think it was probably the case.
Everybody woke up then about 9, 9+ am. Alex and Noel came back by then and yup, they went to grab the tickets for the Twin Towers. Tickets were for 11.15 am. Wanted to go for dim sum breakfast but found that most places in KL opens at 10, 11 am earliest. Decided there'd be no time for breakfast before the tour so we walked over to KLCC to grab some finger food. Had Dunkin Donuts and some fish-balls. I was drooling over A&W - coney dogs and root beer float! - but no time.
8 hungry souls after the tour flooded Chili's at KLCC and I shared a satisfying beef and chicken fajitas with Angela.
Rushed back to the hotel as the guys were going up to Genting. Me, Angela, Beng and Noel went to Chinatown for shopping but it was kinda boring. We proceeded on to Sunai Wang at about 5pm but we were acting like zombies by then. Had a short rest break at KFC at 6pm and decided that we wouldn't be able to enjoy any shopping unless we got more sleep back at the hotel. Oh yes, did I mention that we changed to Ascott for our second night?

KL Trip (Part 2)
Reached KL around 1+ am. We were staying near the clubbing area for our first night and boy was the area crowded. Took almost an hour for us to just get across the length of the street to get into the service apartment building.
Checked in and came back downstairs to get our bearings. Wanted to go somewhere to chiong but Joshua had to go back to the hotel to change. By the time he got back, it was already 2 am and the place closes at 3 am. So, we decided to just sit somewhere to have a drink.
All the night places closes at 3+ am and we left after finishing our drinks. Most of us were quite hungry after that but thankfully, there were a number of food stalls just below the apartment. The gals went back upstairs while the guys waited for the food to be prepared.
Oh, did I mention that Beng stayed in the apartment while we went out and yeah, you guessed it! He was still doing work when we got back to the apartment!
Food came up and we went to sleep about 4-5 am.

KL Trip (Part 1)
Went for some workshop on Inquiry for Science in an attempt to skip Contact Time. Thot the workshop might end early but it ended up finishing same time as Contact Time. Couldn't do any marking during workshop some more.
Was dreadfully late this morning coz couldn't find my passport. Thankfully, found it just in the nick of time so dun need to run back home after school. Took Angela's car to her place and waited for Beng and Joshua to go her place. We waited and waited and waited... Joshua was dreadfully slow and we were all starving by the time he showed up.
Bought KFC from CCK Lot 1 and finally departed for Tuas at the auspicious time of 9pm. We were supposed to leave by 7pm...
Slight jam at the Tuas Checkpoint but much less than we anticipated. Heavy rain and lots of lightning as we entered Malaysia. So much so that Joshua was afraid that the car may be struck by lightning. *grin*
Kinda squeezed at the back coz me and Beng both brought our laptops with us. He even took his out to do work during the drive up to KL!
