The holiday has been zooming by rather quickly this time round - been busy with some much appreciated work in the form of teaching an English enrichment programme, allowing me to 'enrich' my pockets as well. But somehow after all these teaching stints, I end up wondering if I am ever able to cope with the job as a teacher and be able to educate my students after all. I hope this is due to my lack of pedagogical skills at the moment due to the fact that I have yet to go through those in school, and not some innate quality in me which is hinting me to consider another career path.
Due to that, haven't been hanging out with others as much as I would like, but the money's good, so no more complaints. On Tuesday, my family and I went for a celebratory dinner for my Dad's bday - bought him a digi cam that I kinda wanna get for myself now... I've always had a thing for purchasing cameras (but I always end up buying overpriced ones that fall way beyond expectation in terms of performance). Thanks to my bb who treated everyone to the sumptious dinner at Vienna (still love the food there - it's still as good as ever, especially the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the herbal prawns and pepper crab). On Wednesday, went out with Derence and Wendy to sort of help them in choosing their wedding photos. They look rather adorable in the pictures, with some rather hilarious ones to boot. After the laborious task of selecting the top few pictures for printing, we then went for a much awaited dinner - at Kenny Rogers - yummy! I really missed the food there - the chicken was juicy and tasty, the ribs tender and flavourful, and the mac and cheese totally to die for! I would say that we had a really hearty meal that day. Oh, finally got my chewed up and destroyed bra reinstated. Dan brought me shopping for some, and what a good deal I got! 2 old and destroyed bras for 4 spanking brand new ones! Thankfully, my favourite one which Vodka destroyed quite some time ago was still on sale, albeit with some modifications. Thanks bb! I love you! And for today, met up with Aisyah, Maz and Liza at Northpoint for some catching up. Quite an interesting place to meet, come to think of it, since we did spend most of our secondary school life there after lessons. Headed to Swensons for some munchies, and tons of chit chat - mostly bitching about the infestation of AT in Singapore nowadays... and how they totally put us off. And as people always do, we talk about our jobs and payments for the house and all as well. Aiks... where did the days when we talked about mindless stuff like boys and more boys go to? The same people at the same place in a different time - and what different conversational topics we've had. Time indeed does change everything. And as it used to be, Aisyah and I went shopping - saw many things that tempted me, but managed to return home with zilch purchases! So proud of myself! =) But then again, this sense of satisfaction will be sated differently tomorrow, when I shall return to purchase one of the items that tempted me today - a pair of Esprit jeans for $34. I think I miss the days where I had to scrimp and save just to buy something, so everything I bought meant so much more to me. So I have pined for it for a night, and I shall return tomorrow to purchase it, and fill the void in me - ah, pure satisfaction! |
