Malacca Trip Update

2 weeks ago, I went with my students to Malacca for a learning journey. It was a 2D1N stay. At first, I was pretty sianz cos i din noe the teachers going with me very well. Furthermore, it was my first time out of sg alone. Most of the time, is ppl look after me when i go out of the country. This time it had to be the other way round, so was feeling pretty nervous.

But before the 2nd day came, I was already thrilled with the trip and all the students with me.

And all the special things that I never got to see in singapore. I have never seen such a plant in singapore. The leaves have thorns on it. My students were very funny. One of them said "老师! 有刺！Immediately after that, he went to prick his finger in the thorn to see if its real and yelped in pain as he jumped. I was laughing my head off when I saw that. It was like, u noe its a thorn, yet u still go and prick your finger on it.

And then, this was taken at St Francis Xavier's burial ground. Supposed to be an old church compound I think. This cage here that u see is actually his "coffin" and his body was buried here.

We went to this farm where the children could feed the deers. First time i saw a REAL deer, with horns somemore. But the deers were so terrified of the swarm of kids who stuffed veges into their mouth.

On the return journey, I took this photo as requested by my student. Personally quite like this pic. The only thing abt this trip is that i missed my family and jastinian. Great for reminiscing though!

Clocks make me feel cheated

My alarm clock died on me one after another. Perhaps because i dun treat them well enough. I knock them flat to the floor everytime i try to reach for them in my groggy state.

So i was telling myself, now i got an excuse to buy myself a nice clock. cos i always see nice and expensive clocks, but see no reason to buy them. and i told myself i wld get myself the nice white frosty colour changing cube clock.

So i spent the whole of today trying to find it. Alas! I found it, and furthermore, its with hello kitty logo. So i told myself, all is worth it cos it has hello kitty somemore! so special!!

So i brought my clock home with a gleeful smile on my face, cant wait to try out the pretty changing light. I brought it to my dad's room to ask him how to set it up.

AND i stared in horror at something black lurking in the corner of the room. i pointed at it frantically and shrieked! I was keeping my fingers crossed at the back that its not the exact same thing. The bottom is the result.

I almost fainted in disbelief. How can anything be so coincidental?!?!?! Somemore its a stylo black! ARGH! Let me die..........

Long Day Out

Today was a really fun filled day cos it was pretty eventful. First, early in the morn, I went to dear to work.. haha.. went with him to deliver stuff for his attachment company. Then had a nice brunch at pepper lunch IMM. Then, after which we went shopping at orchard and watched movie. After that, we went to his house to pick up some clothes and den we went to play badminton with my mum's cell grp.

However, some unpleasant things happened too. Just when we parked his attachment van at his house, we got summoned for coupon that has exceeded the time. But only 14 mins!!! and worse thing is, when we saw the car park attendant, she just walked away from his van only! wah!!! even though only $6, but still its money!! that just flew away right in front of us!! There shld never haf been a job called car park attendant! Sucks money away from ppl's pockets like vacuum cleaners.

Den, another astounding incident happened. We went to KFC to haf a quick snack. And clumsy us, spilled the boiling hot chinese tea on me. (why clumsy US? cos till now we still cant come to a conclusion who caused the spillage. was too chaotic.)

So what happened? He quickly asked a KFC staff who walked past to help us mop the area. So the guy very politely said that he wld get someone to help us. And so we waited and waited, when in the meantime my darling was gushing over my scald, while i myself was getting worried of getting blisters.

10 mins later, suddenly this grouchy looking auntie appeared and the first time she said when she reached us was "who spilled it?" So dear was very nice, he assumed all responsibility. Then, without any delay, the KFC woman said "NO NEED TO SAY SORRY AR???"


????????

Like she was my mum?????

I was like, gaping with my mouth open, unbelieving this thing i just heard.

We din even had a chance to thank her and she demanded an apology from us, like we spilled the tea in her house like that. We were both like WTH??? Not like we are uncivilized ppl. We will definitely thank her for helping us clean up (even though tts supposed to be her job) and if she was kind, we will even apologize for the inconvenience we caused her. But who demands apologies in such context? And does any one ever demand an apology from your customer? Its so funny I felt like laughing all my teeth off la..


So my dear was feeling pretty pissed at being scolded and wanted to report to the manager. But we finally decided the woman might be relying just on this salary to supposed her family, so we din report her. Duno if that was the right thing to do.

Pox Diary 6 - Home delivery

Finally i got some lovely home delivery to cure my boredom. Actually is 4 packets of pocky. Greedy me ate 1 already.

Pox Diary 5

Its been 1,2,3,4,5,6!! 6 days since i left my house!!! Thats a big breakthru!! I have never been so homely before!!

Thanks to the invention of the computer and youtube, I dun haf to spend my days in agony at home. The only regret is I cant eat anything I like, and I cant meet anyone. Or lets put it this way, I scare everyone away.

But jastinian really cheered me up just now. He went shopping with the boys and he got me a lil present to make up for not being able to come visit me. Its a lady bird bracelet!! Though I havent seen it yet, but i can kind of imagine it. Besides, I love ladybirds!! They are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!! He said will try and see if he can send it over tmr.. So excited!!

Pox Diary 4

This is what u get when u have pox. Someone who is so free to be able to update a blog everyday. So it goes to say that I am not a no-life person. I am just no life when I have pox and no one dares to come visit me and I cant go anywhere.

My rabbit has turned into a ferocious animal. It bites when u try to carry it ard. Jastinian says that its probably cos I caged it up too much. Den he speculate that after my 2 wks of quarantine, I may oso turn ferocious and snap and bite at anyone who provokes me.

No need 2 wks. Just need 4 days and his theory materialized. Today, my dad asked me to try call this company that deals with the buy and sell of club membership as he wanna sell off his club membership in JB since we seldom go. Previously, my mum called up and this stupid woman picked up the phone and was super rude to her, saying that they do not do the buy or sell of Pulai Springs. When my mum called back again to confirm, upon hearing her voice, the stupid woman blasted in the phone " I AM VERY BUSY!!! WE DON'T DO PULAI SPRINGS!!! DON'T CALL BACK AGAIN!!! "

So there, with such background knowledge, of cos I gotta get my speech and thoughts right before I made the call. And I wish I sent the stupid woman hopping mad.

me: Hello, is this XXX enterprise?
stupid woman: yes
me: may i know who I am speaking to?
stupid woman: xxx
me: i see from ur website u do the buy and sell of club memberships?
stupid woman: yes. which one?
me: pulai springs
stupid woman: we don't do pulai springs
me: but i saw it from ur website
stupid woman: its just for show
me: den isnt that a misconception? if u list it there as one of the clubs ur company handles, den u shld do it.
stupid woman: its only for customers to see but we will NEVER NEVER NEVER do pulai springs!!! *note rudeness in tone to a potential valued customer
me: i see, den I advise u to TAKE PULAI SPRINGS OFF YOUR WEBSITE.


and I hung up leaving her stammering and stuttering for words. Rudeness doesnt take u anywhere.
