khatib
Went dining with Dad and Mom at Khatib 848 - had a huge dinner, though it was only at a coffee shop. But it was gratifying and scrumptious nonetheless. Sometimes, coffeeshops provide the best food ever.
Here's what we had - stewed pork knuckles, fishball soup, bee hoon (ngoh hiong style), frog's leg and bbq stingray (the best I've had so far!).
It was tons of delicious food that I missed having - still remember how my bball pals and I used to play bball at the courts nearby then head over to share the spicy but super shiok sting ray, fighting over the proportions. Haha... really miss those days.
After dinner, we headed over to this flower market in front Yishun stadium - they have really wonderful flowers there - and my fav hydrangeas! Beautiful, I say! (Check out the photos in the pics section)
Went shopping at Sun Plaza after tht - bought some CNY cookies, then Dad bought a pair of jeans at $14.90, and went grocery shopping at NTUC after. All in all, I had a great night - great food, great company.
A great night, that is, until I got home and realised I have some unresolved work stuff - needed to print and am still desperately looking for help... aik!!!

shopping yesterday!
Had a fruitful shopping session yesterday. Dan and I went to Orchard to shop for his CNY clothes. He did buy 3 T-shirts, and that's about it. Haha... did drop by Far East Plaza to try the Fried Mars Bars... Delicious, I'd say! So wonderfully melt-in-your-mouth heaven! Haha... we had the fish and chips as well, tiny pieces of fish nuggets that were so filling, and quite salty. Otherwise, that was a good snack. Will definitely patronise that store more in the future.
I managed to buy some stuff over in Far East Plaza as well - bought a couple of knickers and a pair of jeans. Initially, I wanted to go Bugis to buy a pair of jeans. But thankfully, I managed to find them at a cheaper price in Far East! Yay! Then, we made our way to HMV where Dan bought me a pair of really cute shoes! So adorable! They don't look all that amazing at first glance, but once you try them on, you'll get so hooked on them! So Dan bought it for me, even though it was $38 a pair. But it's totally worth it! Yay! Love em!
Having spent a long and tiring day full of shopping at Orchard, we were starving for some solid good food. We decided to stop by Cine and had some munching at Cafe Cartel. We both had the ribs each and wow, it was so filling, I couldn't even finish the dish. It wasn't all that great though, cos the meat was a bit tough since it was overdone, and the sauce was too salty. I doubt I'll ever have the full slab of ribs again by myself though.
Played bball with Dan in the morning before we went off to shop in Orchard. It was fun, and it's been a long time since I've enjoyed playing bball and training my shots with someone under the hot scorching noon sun. Though I look like a cooked lobster now, i really enjoyed myself, with Dan nonetheless.
Hong Kah North will be going for the Women's Open games this coming February. Am so looking forward to it. Haven't had the chance to play in any competition since almost an entire year ago, and I really want to try my best and show my reformed self on the court; someone who plays her best and strives for the best in the game and in her performance while maintaining her sportsmanship and unitedness with her team. That'll be my goal for the competition, if I do get to play, that is. Hehe... guess I'm being a tad too impatient and way ahead of my league.

swimming and raining
Had my first swimming lesson last Tuesday. It was all right - weird at first cos had a feeling of uneasiness and embarrassment. A 20-year-old going to learn how to swim, in a public pool, with other likewise, hopeless beings? Oh wells, that's how I felt anyways. Plus, I didn't even know what my instructor looks like, so I was walking around glancing about for a seeming swimming instructor, dressed in yellow as mentioned by him.
I walked over to the deep pool looking for him, only to find children's classes held there. Then I decided to go up to the medium depth pool, since I was apparently having no luck over at the deep pool. And there he was, a guy decked out in a yellow wet suit dipped in the pool. And I was thinking - of course, this is a beginner's class. Of course it's held at the medium pool; what was I thinking? Gee...
Anyways, went back to basics with bubble blowing and kicking with the board. It was a group - of about 4 people actually. Plus, every one was at different levels - some can already swim, some who can't even float - like myself.
So the first lesson mainly cosisted of me having to hang on to the board for my dear life, floating to and fro from one end of the pool to the other, imitating a frog swimming in the water. It was embarrassingly funny. Yet, I do look forward to my next lesson. I really do want to learn how to swim; well, it is why I paid $60 per month in the first place.
It's been raining cats and dogs these past few days. Getting sick of the cold and wet weather, honestly. There's a saying that if it rains on 'dong zhi' (the festival where you eat ah balling), it will continue raining till the Lunar New Year. So there you go - this rain will probably last till the end of this month then.
Went back to AISS today - gave a talk to the students there on coming to SWAMI for their CIP. The school looks so different. When I first went in, I couldn't even recognise it. So many drastic changes, no longer the way I remember it. Kinda sad really - like the memories have been erased, the structure no longer there.
Did see a couple of teachers I recognised. It was nice being back there - so comforting, even though everything looks so different, I keep looking at an area and thinking how it used to be back then. I see myself and my pals there, playing and enjoying our life as secondary school students. All the worries and troubles as a teen suddenly seem so minute and unimportant. However, it was the best time of my life, looking back as I am. Really miss schooling... really miss the friends, the teachers, the life back then.
You really don't treasure a thing till you lose it.
