Eventually, Im here to update after one week. This tour happened last sat, but I fell ill during the tour and weekend. The entire week was so tiring and Im glad I managed to pull through!! Nevertheless, as promised, I will update with the latest pictures(:
Welcome to the animal farm!!
Spot the shy crown cranes hiding there. We had a hard time trying to feed them as they are way too shy!!
The animal farm looks like a pretty place to be right??! With engaging animals trotting by near you while you admire the great scenery of nature. Wait till you breathe in a whiff of..pungent mustard-like smell.
This pict of mum has a nostalgic kampong feel(:
The fiercest bird in the farm. It definitely needs some face lifting cream for its sagging chin.
The beautiful blue based peacock, caged up unfortunately.
We fed the rabbits, fishes, geese, crown cranes(running after them), hens and mosquitoes. Next, we went to the mushroom farm(:
We had a tour in the 5-stars air-conditioned lodging for the mushrooms.
Then, I managed to snap some photos of the budding mushrooms from bags and bags of sawdust, cotton waste etc.
This is a photo that I zoomed in specially so that you all can see the cute doll like head forming on top of the mushroom. Mum was so excited when she spotted this one.

During the working week, I was so bored that I accidently doddled my name on a scrap piece of paper while talking to a caller. When the call ended, I was shocked by what I have drawn without realizing. There is a head of a lady with my name strung together.
When we went to a work excursion to SLF building, we were amazed by this. Hens and cocks walking freely everywhere. It seems like the re-enactment of the farm tour.
Yay!! It is weekend again! I went to CDC with Shey today and we booked our test dates(: We are going to take our tests on the same day. Initially, Shey booked her test and I thought I can get the same date as her. However, when it was my turn, to our dismay, there is no slot on that day. After making a mini commotion, we finally get to take on the same day(: After which, we went to bedok to walk around and have a meal at KFC. Shey is a really nice friend to talk to and with her, finally I do not feel like a sinner(hint) when I sank my teeth into the tasty fast food. Haha! What a great day spent. We had an online shoe spree just now and yay we finally got the shoes that we both adored so much! Looking forward to tomorrow because I can still rest for one more day before the working week "commences" once again.

Oh my. Ive made a very prudent decision to teach someone that does not know the fundamentals of basic respect. One that has no will to concentrate for even five minutes. One who uses "bombastic" English to communicate. Through and through, he could neither excel in this nor that. He mistakes "Flipinish" as English. He thinks that he is too high up to condescend to others. He thinks that the world reolves around him and his games. He thinks that his parents ought to put him on a pedestal and pander to his every whim.
Ties aside, I do not have other obligation to teach him. However, I find it as a challenge to my wits and patience. It is a test of courage and I chose to embrace it with a receptive mind. Thus, with or without listening to your opinions will not affect my decision. Say your piece of mind but I will not succumb to your sacarstic remarks. Not that I am try to be the heroine in order to "Change The World". I just need to know that I could not have gone thus far without the help of teachers in my life. I just hope that he still has the impressionable mind that can be used to my advantage.

Today at work, the only free time chengying and I have was used to admire nat ho's pellucid skin. No erroneous mistakes today. Great. Confessions to make tomorrow.
I am glad that I am spending my time wisely, earning money as I wait for the next door in my game life to unlock. It is a million times better than wasting my time going out to listen to people(most unfortunately) prattling on about their boyfriends.
I had many interesting callers today. One was frustrated because she felt that she was caught in the toils of the law. The other exclaimed that she will have her baby delivered soon but she is not going to get married because "There are no good guys in the world!". Her bold statement as well as her stoic acceptance of single parenthood arrested my heart. I wondered if I was singing the same symphony as her because there was something else beside pure sympathy. Emphathy?
Now before people start to complain about my blog's verbose style of writing, I shall clarify things up a little. I love the beauty of language and so should you! I hope that you can be exposed to a wider range of vocab(for some good reasons, dictionaries are usually thick enough to use its weight to flatten crumpled papers.) So no complains okay(: if not, leave this site. I am not forcing you to swallow indigestable rocks of information.
okay(: the weather has been specially fine for creating pretty rainbows. I caught one in my phone. I should have posted it up to stomp and win a little something for myself shouldn't I? Very unfortunately, the bizzare weather change has encouraged the little naughty creatures of virus to manifest everywhere. Please det-tol the call centre. I am going to change place tomorrow at work. Must det-tol early in the morning.
I am beginning to understand our facial organs better, The eyes, nose, ears and mouth. When I drink water now, my nose gets runny. When I "blow" my nose, my vision blurred and my eyes get teary. When I close my eyes and "blow" my nose hard, my ears get blocked. These four are so sweet and loving aren't they?

One working day passed so quickly!! I reckon it is the new system that made all of us work doubly hard. Apart from the novelty of using this system, it left chengying and I exasperated at the daily workload twin size. Oh goodness, despite the burdensome responsibilities, we enjoyed ourselves today. Laughing uncontrollably at silly mistakes here and there broke the silence of the missing csos' presence. However, lesser headcount means that we may be deluged with inquiries. Somewhere while working or studying, you will definitely meet someone who displays a pedantic insistence on the rules. I find that they hinder progress way too much and are overly obtrusive. Ignore ignore okay.
Yay!! pasta mania dinner and shop till you drop evening. Im gonna study hard for my theory test from now onwards! haha(: bad weather, bad flu!

Yesterday seemed like the highlight of the whole week. I went back to tkband with mingbei, alv, jojo and met bong,erfi, yughan there. The school has not changed a bit, neither did the familiar smell of music room, perc store etc. I felt like history when I did not recognise most of the members there. The ones that I barely know(Sec 4s now) were those Sec 1s that I met when I was in Sec 4. Nevertheless, I spoke to the kids. Haha(: Managed to teach some sec2s beats from persis and the sec1s how to practise rolling. The moment I picked up the drumsticks, I felt like ancient. I'm glad that I have yet to forget the basics. I must confess that I'm not the best player there, but I do love to teach(: A random thank-you for the compliment. (you won't get it)
On my way to cityhall, my ex-colleague Sasha called me(: She said that she went teary after receiving the scrapbook. I'm glad that she is enjoying her new workplace(so many diff types of teas and coffees that she is spoilt for choices daily) and is able to put up with her bosses' strange accents. Somehow, I have a feeling that she may not be a total simpleton(: I still miss her presence!
After which, I met Iris at Marina square. So much for the flop of the dance gathering(: I did not mind it a bit because at least one turned up! And wanny too, met her to take train back together. So new updates from Iris!! haha(: really had a great time just talking to her--the peaceful iris as always. Outings with old friends are definitely worthwhile, but sadly ephemeral.
Finally my table at home and my workplace is clean and tidy!! oh well..after my spasmodic efforts to make things right. Thus, I look forward to using the new system at work tomorrow! Another new week begins tomorrow. A part of me actually dreads going to work and facing those rapacious callers. However, I must be positive daily because a positive attitude works wonders!(quote from chengying) I wonder how work will be like after the departure of our super intellectual roy!! No one to show me weird pictures, articles, online quizzes etc. Prevailing silence.
Results are coming out soon. I pray that I can get grades that can put me into the position of choosing the courses of my choice, not the other way round. Then will I be able to pursue a future degree of my own volition.
Days of peace, journeys of solitude when necessary. Reflections during a long journey ensure that I can extricate myself from the complexities of the mind. Totally confused and stuck in a dimension of character-division. Perhaps once I can believe that this is pure surmise on my part, then I may be able to behave in a manner that I deem it as appropriate
