This week nua mode

Back in Singapore spells reality. Essays and lessons...

hkm came to accompany me since Monday night. During the daytime, he will be sleeping so I spend my time eating and trying to sort out the essays. Submission is next week and I am still not feeling the sense of urgency. Procrastinating at its best. Had a mockup demo lesson on Wednesday and it didn't go very well. My student played quite a number of mistakes but Mr Ng said my talking is not too bad. I think I need a lot of luck if I want to pass this upcoming exam.

Went back home in the heavy downpour. It was super bad and I got 90% drenched with an umbrella. A gigantic lorry went passed me while I was crossing the road and the flood just flew up and engulf onto me from the side. I was wet from head to toe. No joke, but luckily I was already on my way home.

Caught Ah Boys to Men with hkm at CCK. Had a good laugh and finally had supper at the coffee shop  near to the bus interchange. Always wanted to try the tauhuey there but it was already closed :( Didn't want to eat because I had dinner at home and wasn't really hungry. But when hkm said he wanted to eat the Ngoh Hiang prawn fritter thing, I was tempted to eat with him too. Gave in to the mental war and bought sliced fish macaroni. (Typing this makes me hungry now... hmmm...) We missed the last bus home long long long ago so we took our time and walked home.

On 15 Nov, Thursday, I had to go for piano lesson too. Before my lesson, I was trying to rush out one analysis but was distracted because I saw things which hurt me deeply on FB. At that moment of time, I found myself looking dumb because I choose to be emotionally attached. It is not good to be controlled by these overpowering emotions. It makes people stupid and do stupid things.

Went home after lesson for dinner and played scramble/hangman with hkm all the way till midnight. I don't know why time flies. I was just playing a few rounds of scramble... Washed up and continued the scramble challenge all the way through the night. It was super fun because our standards are quite the same #peasizedbrains so when the results are unpredictable, it gets really exciting.

As usual at about 2AM, hkm started complaining about being hungry. But we were busy playing games so I didn't really wanted to eat. I will be tempted to eat if I were to watch him eat as well. That's why I cannot cut down on my food intake. I eat normally in the day (while he's asleep) and when he's eating normally at night, I will accompany him to eat too.

We went to the kitchen and while he was cooking his maggie goreng, I kept snacking on fruits and nuts and ended up drink milk and milo before heading back to the room for more scramble and hangman challenge before we totally zonked out in the morning.

Woke up quite early on Friday (16 November 2012) and spent the day playing (not practicing) the piano and guitar. I love how simple strumming on the guitar can sound like a song. I am considering bringing the guitar over to Melbourne with me next year. Changed into netball attire before having my dinner. It started raining cats and dogs while I was eating. Training was cancelled but I didn't want to waste my effort of changing into sports attire so I just went out for a run.

Later at night, went to Benghao's place to send him some birthday wishes. It was abit too late when I reached so most of them were really quite high and they finished playing all the drinking games. I was really lucky to miss that part. I was just chilling around watch high souls trying to put up a fire show. Ning walked over from mdc after her work to join me. Honestly, I didn't expect her to agree to come because she doesn't know Beng. I am the only person she knows and I don't know anyone else at the party except for Beng. Awkward~ but it turned out fine. Caught up a bit with Ning and ended up playing blackjack. With Ning and her poker cards, gambling seems like a correct thing to do.

Got back home by 4AM but didn't get to sleep and went straight to meet bbjlb (sg) and Belinda aka the mushroom angel to climb bukit timah hill. That was my first time (in my memory) there. I thought climbing hill was an easy task but I was wrong. The slope is super steep. My impression of climbing bukit timah hill was just walking and strolling - a very easy morning walk around the forest. But it was still manageable as the distance wasn't very long.

Met jy at the foot of the hill afterwards and headed for brunch at Spruce! The place has got really good ambience. I had Eggs benny with Salmon. The salmon was good but the egg whites were quite hard. I finished my share and kept eating Ning's and JY's leftovers. Luckily I dare not eat meat... If not the beef steak Ning couldn't finish would have been in my tummy already.

I was dozing off while the girls were chatting. Finally we split ways and I slept till 7pm before heading to my grandma house. It's not enough.
