last week of aug

admist mugging for the horror test this thurs and blowing my nose.. i decided to recall slightly what HAPPIER things that happened.. (we girls can really multi-task.. haha!) tutee postponed tuition from sat to sun, so i had sat afternoon 'off' w him.. After intern on sat morning, went over to see him @ Masters Swimming.. which was held at this ulu pool at farrer park. Oooh, I haven't been to this location in my 21 yrs of life in singapore. I didn't know an hdb estate just pops up nx to rows of shophouses at little india. Really an urban discovery! But i kinda got lost and by the time i found this ulu place, he had finished his race.. -_-" so much for walking cross the farrer park field under the hot sun.. =(

but it was worth it! XD he had 2 hrs to slack before his swimming lessons in the afternoon.. so we took nel down to harbourfront and slacked at the emptier harbourfront centre.. I revisited this place where i last visited it in 2006 jan. hah, glad it's still there! the cheapest pizzas around.. (besides the home-made ones w gardenia bread as ur base...)


"hello?! 7th mth ghost fest?! how come there's no one?"

but he managed to order his pizza and had his full. somehow. haha. but bad things happened. i had to fall sick that night and consequently, postponed my tutee's lesson till.... wed night. how sad. =( just hours before the horror test. lol. I think i'm gonna give myself sufficient time to study before then. >.<

btw, the much anticipated briefing regards to "2 years in beijing (0809)" was held this morning.. it sounded more like a '2-year-hardship-camp' to me. if we're gonna stay on campus, it'll be a 20km bus ride every morning to the intern hospital and the same ride back to campus everyday. o.O lessons' begin at 8, we gotta wake up every single day @ 6am. hah, and the evening bus only comes to pick us up at 7pm.. i'm not imagining e life of a factory worker man.. =| but at least the picture seems clearer now.. but money issue wise, it's still a headache. no cpf, no bank loan.. the only thing they have for us is moe study loan. the next few things in question were: commencement of interest rates for local bank loan/study loan, interest rates for moe study loan etc. haiya. money is always a headache. =(

to end things off, here's an advice for people who frequent ntucanA's mixed rice: order ur dishes carefully.


categorise 小白菜, 草菇, 午餐肉. ans: 小白菜=plant; 午餐肉=meat; 草菇=meat!
fungus are not plants, so they are therefore, considered as ambiguous=meat. that's what my plantbio and the auntie from mixedricestall taught us. oh, try ordering some toufu nx time too. just becareful of any suspicious meat-looking lumps that's lying on it. toufu that grows meat=meat! haha.
