Punggol North had this Racial Harmony day celebration on Sunday evening.. There's a street parade, plus a cultural food fair, with many religious organisations providing free food... So after the game of badminton with Deary at Greendale, I went to the celebration with my mum, ate quite alot of food, like Kueh Tutu, mee goreng, mee siam, peking duck, carrot cake etc.. It was very crowded, and this is a rather rare scene to see in Punggol new town haha except on peak hours on trains lol.. after the feast, went back home and touch up on my ppt slides for next day's lessons...

Monday is the first day i tried teaching... used the Iflashbook to teach the P2s, and the ppt slides to teach the P4s... well few points to take note from my CT is that i need to raise my voice abit for the P2s else they wun be scared... as for the P4s, she said that i need to slow down abit and ask them more questions.. haha well i guess everything went on quite smoothly, and she commented that my slides are nice hahah... yeah!

today went thru a compre with the p4s, then ask them about the chap i taught yesterday... glad that they're able to grasp the meaning behind the story... Went home to sleep awhile, and prepare new ppt lesson for P2s, and then went out to Vivo city to meet up with my sis and cousins+her frens, to discuss bout her wedding stuff... first time being a jie-mei for a wedding, seems like there're lots of stuff to prepare and take note of... but i think its goign to be fun! haha

oh ya, and its racial harmony celebration in our sch today, so we hav to wear ethnic costumes, and they only informed us ytd... luckily i can still fit into the blouse i bought during sec sch hahah... but looks like a red ang-bao.. well its ok, most of the kids are wearing red/pink also, so it kind of feels like CNY...

Last sun, went to the Hokkaido food fair at TM.. it was so crowded... the food was rather ex over there, but there are still so many ppl lol.. din really see anything special or nice, so we din get much except for the 1-for-1 strawberry mousse that they're having promotion lol...



This was the strawberry mousse we got, it looks like some strawberry icecream.. and tastes really nice...



Halfway through eating, got a surprise! As there's a layer of cheesecake beneath the strawberry mousse! it was great! hahah a nice dessert after lunch ^_^


On Wed evening, went Hougang for badminton with deary from 4-6, then we go to Hougang Ave.8, there's is restaurant style western food in a coffeeshop... the price is ok just typical western food prices in coffeeshop, but the they serve like a restaurant! there's even a menu! haha so we ordered our food and enjoyed them..



I had this Hotplate Black pepper chicken, though a little too salty, but its nice! the chicken is tender and not too oily!



this is the Sirloin steak deary had...

there's also a soup with garlic bread, and a small choco fondue as dessert, so we were really full after the meal.. so we walked a few bus stops down to take a bus home..

there'll be more badminton sessions to come next week, its a good way of relaxing, so i should engage in this kind of activity more often.. ^_^ shall try to prepare for my lessons next week, yeah I'll be teaching! hahah hopefully it'll be a good experience...

Went for a game of badminton at Tampines before going for Dim Sum buffet at Excelsior hotel on Youth day holiday... The food was great! We tasted almost all the dim sum items except for a few fried ones... It cost only $12.90++ per adult on weekdays for lunch, so i think its quite worth it ^_^

For the rest of the week, was just bored in school, observing lessons and assisted my CT in controlling the class abit.. Walked around and check that they did their work etc.. Luckily got to walk around, else I'll sure fall asleep in class lol..

Thurs went to PS to meet deary after school before goin for Peiwen's 21st birthday party.. walked around in PS, wanted to watch movie, but seems that there isn't any nice ones, or rather, we've watched all those that's nice now... so we went to Secret recipe and had their tea-time cake special, had this Apple Crumble cheesecake, it was delicious! hhah then afterthat went Kovan Melody for PW's bday party at evening... played Wii overthere, played mario-kart, it was fun and funny hahah, also played bowling and tennis...

Just came back from tuitions, later going to play table-tennis! hahah den lily they all will be coming over for mahjong, yes mahjong again lol... since they drive and i dun hav to leave my house, i dun mind lol...

After 2 sessions of tutions ytd, went home to change before going for a last min decided badminton session with deary at Greendale Pri... had difficulty finding the entrance to the sch, cos i tot we can get in thru the main gate.. it turns out that only one door at the other end(near punggol plaza) is open, so by the time we got into the hall, we're late for almost half the session hahah but luckily the person in charge is nice enough to allow us to play for a longer time...

after the game, went punggol plaza and get bubble tea before heading home... went to Samartha's bday party at Downtown east chalet after that.. Left the chalet around 10.45, as Lily and David are coming over for mahjong at 11.30.. had a fun game...

Went out to meet Sherwin and Nicholas at City Hall this afternoon for a chocolate session. Went to Esplanade's Chocz, and we ordered a Madagascar dark chocolate fondue, plus a drink each, and Sherwin ordered another apple crumble... i ordered a hot choco drink called Chococcina, and it was nice! The thick choco that has a tinge of bitterness is definatly my cup of tea! haha so we really enjoyed the choco session, with Sherwin entertaining us with his singing: 'Lonely is the night'...

After the fulfilling choco session, Sherwin has to head home for his 4 hours of revision as required by his mum.. So we accompanied him back to MRT station before going to Raffles City to shop around... walked around looking for clothes, cos nic says he wants to change his image and dress younger.. but first he say he needs to slim down first hahha but with all the nice foods around, not tat easy lol... had late dinner at MOS burger before sending me home... it was a nice and funny day out, really enjoyed myself.. ^_^

First week of TA has ended, got a nice CT, and fun trainees to hang out with.. so generally, i enjoy my time... The first week of school was quite hectic, teachers busying with h1n1 stuff, and first lesson of the day is suspended... so teachers are all stressed as they have to rush their lessons... well, the 2 classes i observed are the below average standard classes, so their progress is slower... and, Donghan, my cousin is in 1 of the class i observed! haha and i heard him telling his classmates that i'm his cousin but it seems that nobody believes him lol... cos he's those very noisy type, so i supposed his frens will just think that he's lying haha..

Went to watch Ice Age 3 yesterday at Cineleisure yesterday, it was nice and funny! Had Suki buffet before that and the sashimi are great! slurps...
