weekend

weekend's supposed to rest huh? i beg to differ. i think i spent even more time out of home than the usual school days. >.< woke up at 6.30am this morning.. as early/even earlier than some of my normal sch days. intern started at 8am.. and lasted 3 hrs. It wasn't that tiring as expected (I was dozing off early in the morning on bus).. and i guess i really do learn more from intern than books. hah.

then went off to zion rd w mel, yl and karen for lunch! good food there~ i sure miss the beancurd. melts in ur mouth! oooo.. lol.. then proceed on w tuition in the afternoon at 2pm. my tutee moved to a new home.. from jw to je.. and 'upgraded' to a condo.. the problem w condo (which i don't like much) is the security system. But i guess that's why people want to stay in condo.. for privacy and security? oh, but i like the design of e new home.. its literally a 'white house'.. haha. I was scared that i might dirty the white dining chair that i was sitting on.. trying to resist putting up my feet up under my butt. (hah. bad habit)

then later, thought it was too boring just to go home and sleep (though very much needed), i went for a little shopping at ikea alone. =) don't really understand why ikea tries to make things so cheap lately.. perhaps they've decided that s'poreans like to go for cheap stuff.. thus keep having sales.. lol.. just like other multiple outlet stores also keep having this trend of endless sales.. lol. but i really like ikea stuff.. simple and thoughtful, designer quality but at cheaper rates.. i guess it may have to do with the way they mass produce these designer items.. hence the price drop. but anyway, quite shocked that i had plenty items in the shopping bag when i was heading for the cashier. then i realised one thing. no plastic bags. lol.. stunned for a moment before i figured out how i was gonna bring them back - bought another shopping bag.. =) i think it'd come in useful.

heh.. was on e way home.. decided to drop by his club (where he coaches swimming) and wait for him to finish his lessons at 6.30pm. lol.. perhaps the beancurd was easily digestible, i started feeling hungry and so was he after his swim. hence we popped by the famous, nus-recommended, 24hr, cheese prata shop. not enough power for nostalgic feelings as my mind wasn't thinking due to the hunger. hah. anyway the prata's good! *yum* but i still miss the mutarbak at bukit timah - al azhaar.. heh. it was already nightfall by the time i got home..

captured something that brought back memories of PBL (sec2 project work: Problem Based Learning).. it's not a common scene after the introduction of these ez-link smart cards. heh. our problem: bus ticket stuck behind seat is an unsightly scene.. closer observation tells me tt ticket price is $1.70. wow.. i'm proud of spore's bus services (sbs, even same name as my sch).. they solved this problem before we tried to solve it for them 7 years ago.. haha.. they're efficient! (in price increase too.. $1.70.. >.<)

(sry for the blur pic cos the bus was shaky)
