Finally told my manager that I'll be ending my attachment on the 27th July. I pre-prepared a super simple and short letter (not formal 1) but i wasn't sure if i just need to tell him or give him the letter too. So I told him and he asked me to give him a simple letter, so luckily i'd already prepared it, so i just signed it and got an envelope from my colleague and handed it to the manager.

Nothing much to blog about over the weekends and the last couple of days because it's just like any other day and nothing spectacular that i can remember of. I guess today after work i've gotta go take a passport photo of my ugly face and go down to the immigration office during lunch tomorrow to get my passport picture changed. I gotta get it changed because the picture i have in my passport now was my 10 yr old pic and i've been having a tough time getting through custom the past year or so.

So Transformers is opening today and i guess i'm gonna go watch it on Saturday after guitar. Tomorrow's payday!! YAY!! Can't wait too.

I know this blog is almost dead as in tag-wise which means that nobody really comes to read my blog. It's like everytime i go to other people's blog i see active tagboards but for mine, i'm merely talking to myself. This is just so pathetic...but I guess this blog is is the only other thing apart from you tube keeping me entertained at work, so what the heck....i don't care.

It's been a busy weekend filled with loads of activities and it's been real exhausting and I'm still tired now. On Thursday after work, I met up with Hwee Yee and Melissa to bring the 2 Filipino visitors - Betty and Marianne to Sentosa to watch the musical fountain - Songs of the Sea (I think). After that we went back to Vivocity around 9.15pm for dinner and reached hope at almost 11.30pm. After that showered and slept at around 1.30am.

On Saturday, met the girls at Starbucks next to borders at 10am, but i was late and reached at around 10.30am. I wasn't supposed to be late, but Liesl wanted to meet at Pasir Ris MRT to go together at 9.15am. So i was there and waited til 9.25am and i called her and guess what....she was still sleeping! So yeah...she asked me to go first. So had careteam bible study at starbucks til around 12.30pm. Then Melissa treated me to TCC at Isetan. Because she wanted to buy a birthday present for her friend, we went to search for a mini soccer ball. So we went from Isetan to Takashimaya to Paragon where she found the ball and I saw Elfi at the shop his working at and went in to say hi..lol. After that went to Heeren HMV and i bought a cd then we went to John Little specialist centre to walk. Left around 4.15pm and reached home at around 5pm. Quickly showered and brought my brother to TM at 6pm to watch Fantastic 4 at 7.30pm and before that we went to Din Tai Fung for dinner. It cost me like $32 just for 10 xiao long baos and 2 bowls of noodles. After the movie went to play at the arcade for awhile and then went home.

Yesterday morning was church as usual, then went to Compasspoint for lunch 'cause my bro and dad wanted to get their hair cut. After that went home and around 6pm we went to Night Safari and i had a real good time there. If not for the ex ticket prices, I'll probably be there like every week! It was my first time at the animal show and it was really cool....somebody sitting in front of me actually brought his dog to the night safari...it was a westie and it was so cute! So had Bongo Burger for dinner and Ben & Jerry ice cream at the end of the show. It was fantastic...provided that i did pester my parents to bring me to the Night Safari the past 3-4 years.

Melissa's invited me for dinner tonight because Wednesday's her birthday, but I don't think I'll be going...if not I'll be dead by the end of today. If she changes it to Wednesday I'll probably be going, but today's just not the day for me. I think i also need to digest all the good food that i'd been eating the past 2 days and the girls at work are planning to go to Ajisen Ramen later for lunch because this is the third Monday and they'll get a 50% discount. If I'm going for another big dinner tonight I'll probably become fatter and die soon...lol.

I'm back from church camp and now I'm back at work and I've completely no mood for it, so I'm just doing everything slowly with the music from you tube the only source of entertainment for me getting through the day.

So, I'll talk about the camp first.

Wednesday - Reached church at 7.15am, left with the coach at 7.50am. Reached Allson Khlana Resort at 1pm - lunch, short briefing, collect keys and went up to enjoy the room til 5pm. 5pm - talk, dinner, songs & praises, lesson, group work, devotion and finally bed time at 11pm.

Thursday - 5am wake up call (it was dreadful), 6am prayer walk, 8am reach back shower, 8.15am breakfast, 9am - lesson, group activity, camp group photo, lunch. 2pm - games (adults went shopping the youth planned games). 6pm - dinner, songs &praises, lesson, group activity (1/2 dead by that time), 11pm - went back to the room to prepare self-portrait and think of a gift to present to a group member and finally slept at 12.30am (was so tired!).

Friday - 8am breakfast, 9am songs & praises, lesson, potrait and gift presentation, lunch. 2pm - mission trips presentation, games, 5pm rest. 5.30pm bbq dinner, 7pm - lesson, group activity, re-dedication and testimonial from uncle chong, end at 11.30pm. After that had some little letter game with Melissa then went over next door to Stephanie and Liesl's room chit-chat with the girls and left with Joanne back to our rooms while the other girls stayed on the whole night. Slept at 3am.

Saturday - Woke up at 7am, packed bags before going for breakfast at 8am. Departed for Singapore at 9am. Reached church around 2pm and took a cab home which cost me like $19.80 and reached home around 2.30pm for lunch.

I've no idea why, but they put Melissa and I on the same coach, same room and same group and so we're like stuck to each other throughout the camp..lol. So yeah, before I went for the camp, I wasn't really looking forward to it as it was my 2nd camp and the 1st camp i attended was 7 years ago in 2000. But after the camp, I was doing some reflections and it was quite fun actually and I did enjoy it a lot and I had a blast at the games and the people there were great....and funny. I was laughing the whole way through during the games, group activities and chit-chats & card games with the girls have been real fun and memorable, and to think that i was a bit worried when I'm going there by myself - the first time out of the country without my parents. I certainly don't mind going to the camp again next year if nothing crops up.

So Saturday after I came back, Yun Xin wanted to go shopping at ws and i was like...okaaaaay....and i was like zombie walking around since i had only 4 hrs of slp the night before. Tonight my whole family going to my grandma's house for dinner, since I don't wanna go I guess I'm having dinner on my own before I go home....boring....

I guess that's all I have for this entry....til then....cheers!

I'm like totally bored now. I've got some work to do, but i just don't feel like doing them. I'm kind of full from lunch and you have no idea how sleepy i am right now, provided that i slept at almost 12am last night and woke up at 3.30am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. The tv didn't work, but i managed to sleep off another hour til i needed to get out to prepare for work. It's so dreadful!

So Saturday went to watch Shrek 3, it was just ok. There a few parts that'll make u laugh, but there are certain parts that'll make you go "ok....so am i suppose to find this funny and laugh?" that kind of feeling. So yeah, it was just an ok movie. So i guess the next movie i'm gonna watch will probably be Ocean's 13, unless i decide to skip it then it'll be Fantastic 4. So basically there's a movie to watch every week til next month.

Yesterday was my grandma's birthday. Since my grandma had a stroke not too long ago and she's still kind of weak, my uncle decided that it should be pot luck at the house. It was ok, not particularly my favourite dishes (which consist of curry chicken, green curry, duck, roasted pork and those type of wrap up steam chicken) as i'm not a curry fan (in fact i don't eat spicy so me liking it is just out of the question). I think the best part was that they showed Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl last night, so i wasn't totally bored to death.

I'm leaving for Malaysia early on Wednesday morning and i've no idea why i've just no mood to pack. Yeah, you got it right, i've not packed my bag yet, not even 1 thing into my bag....in fact i've not even taken out the bag that i'm supposed to bring yet. I think i've gotta take the bag out and put some things that i know i need to bring in first, then i'll dumb the rest in tomorrow after work. I've gotta reach church by 7am, so i've gotta wake up by 6 and leave by 6.30am (provided that my dad's sending me to church which is all the way in pasir panjang), if not i gotta leave the house by 6am. That means getting up by 5am, wash up, breakfast and checking if i've left anything out before going. I'm so dreading the part where bedtime's at 11pm and morning activity starts at 6.30am and i'm so definitely gonna skip the 6.30am activity and go straight to breakfast...lol....but the thing i'm kind of looking forward to is the 3hr shopping time we have at the hypermart. I'm gonna grab everything i want there to last me through the camp in case the food there is not to my liking and make sure that i don't go bored or hungry.

I think i've gotta get back to work already, 'cause it's kind of irritating having to change between screens everytime someone walks pass.

Yay! Friday again. I think this week and next is the most fun and relaxed week....at least for me. Actually there's a few things that's making me enjoy this two weeks more than the others. For this week, i got my pay on Wednesday, yesterday was Vesak day (public holiday!) and that left work for today only before the weekends! Then next week I'm only working on Monday and Tuesday and I'll be off to Malaysia for church camp from Wednesday morning to Saturday afternoon, so i guess I'll be missing guitar class for two weeks since I'll not be around in the morning this Saturday and next Saturday is Yamaha school holiday...yay!

So, brought my brother to escape theme park yesterday morning. We went round and round to play the rides and went to countless drink break at burger king and we went to play at the carnival. We had no luck at the horse race so we tried the game that was something like pin ball where we must catch the ball when it drops down. We had 5 balls and we must get at least 2 balls to get a prize. My bro and i played and we got 2 balls in each and we got a dextor lab toy each, then we played again and got 4 balls in and we got 2 big killer whale stuff toys...lol. We were carrying a toy and a killer whale stuff toy each and everybody kept looking at us wherever we went....it was hilarious. After that met my parents at Aranda club where my mum was having a spa, my dad put the toys into the car and we went to the aranda club restaurant to eat...it was good.

So i'm going to watch Shrek 3 tomorrow with my brother and YX.....can't wait to watch it. I think I'd better start packing to go back already...c'ya!
