Little Snippets of My Life

I have not updated my blog for a long time. Nope, I did not spend my time moping or feeling emotional these days. I simple picked up where I have left, spending more time with my friends, the ones who truly care for me. I am starting to find joy in my work again. Here's a little photo log from my Iphone on what I have been doing these days.

Teacher's Investiture Ceremony

At first, I did not want to go. I received news nearer to the date that it is compulsory for us to go. They did their "thing" again, forcing us to do something just because we "owe" them the money. But anyway, I'm glad I went. It was time well-spent catching up with friends.







P-Plate




Found this stuck on my metal cupboard in the staffroom. One of my HODs put it there. It made me laugh out loud. I guess this is his way of telling the rest to go easy on me as I am a "P-Plater". But then, my friend said that "P-Platers" are always the easy target for bullies. -_-...


Salad For Lunch


As part of my determination to lose weight, I have switched to eating salads for lunch. The salads are prepared by yours truly and I am proud of my creation. =P


Grilled fish salad with mango and roasted rice crackers


Grilled chicken breast meat salad with grapes

These meals were not cheap though. I think each meal cost me around $5-$6. But it is still cheaper and healthier than popping pills!


Muffins


Went to Jaw's new house for dinner on a Friday. It was quite exciting because none of us has a place to call our own yet. And they had a surprise for me.


Xiao Pang's sister, Chu Xin, baked these muffins to cheer me up after reading my blog. I was so touched that I was speechless. I really really appreciate the thought and effort that went into this. I must have done something good in my previous life to deserve friends like them. =)




Angry Birds


Had fun playing with Ethel's, Alvin's and Aaron's Angry Birds one afternoon.





We used our building blocks to create an Angry Bird's scene too.

Cute.


English Noticeboard


One day, my English HOD tasked me to help design the school's English Noticeboard. I was stumped. Luckily, my Level Head came up with great ideas and I helped to carry out and modfiy some bits here and there. In the end, we were so proud of our board!










Founder's Day Dinner


My first Founder's Day in my new school. It was a chance for the teachers in my school to dress up and look pretty for the night. So unlike their usual self. I have many beautiful teachers in my school!

With my Beginning Teachers.



Make-shift Bed

My favourite sort of bed in the office. Nice, soft and full of knowledge. Heh!


Inner Desire @ Wavehouse Sentosa

Esther, my ODAC friend, has set up a blogshop selling bikinis and night gowns. She asked me to help out at her fashion show at Wavehouse last Saturday. I like exposing myself to jobs outside my usual scope and she is a good friend of mine so I agreed immediately.

My job was to help the model attached to me change into 4 different sets of bikinis. They were really professional and had no qualms changing in front of strangers. I think we, Esther's friends, felt more awkward than the models. Heh!

It was a real mad rush in the changing tent. There were only 5 models and the runway was short. That meant that they would have little time to change.


Esther doing an interview with Razor TV.

The helpers for that day. The buffet we had for dinner is the best I have ever tasted.


Anyway, Esther's blogshop is http://www.inner-desire.com/. Visit her store if you are thinking of buying lingerie, bikini, swim wear or night gowns!



Prawning


After helping out with Esther's event, I met up with Jane and her cousin to go prawning at Jurong Hill. It was nice, chilling and catching up with small interludes of excitement when the prawns got hooked.









Joey came and joined us soon after.


Our achievement after 3 hours - 9 prawns! Heh!



And so, this concludes my little photolog from the pictures taken using my Iphone. I have moved on. =)

My Birthday '11

Birthday Celebration With Enemies at Aston

It was held at Aston's in Centerpoint. It was a surprise because I didn't know where we were meeting. I was happy we are going there because western food never goes wrong with me. =P

Huli really surpassed herself! She was my bday organiser. At first, we didn't think this celebration will go well because of her history but she really, really gave me a wonderful party!

I had the cutest birthday cakes.

Sexayyyy! I want to have these figures by next birthday! =P



As seen, the baker was so meticulous.








With my favourite girls. =D



Sour grapes. If I don't have such big ones, the cupcake can't have them!







Splitting the ass. Heh!



Huli made these flowers! There were messages hidden inside each flower. So sweet! She must have spent much time and effort doing this. For me! I was so touched. =)


Love you, girls!


Birthday Celebration with Straits Gang at Concorde Hotel



Gwen managed to find this hi-tea buffet restaurant, the Spices Cafe, online. So, we went there for my bday celebration. It was so worth the money! There was Salmon sashimi which is my favourite! With that, I was a happy girl.




The biatches that I have known for 5 years. Phew.. Time really flew by.



My presents! They bought me a Laniege Moisturiser and Chelsia bought me a dress from Phuket.

It's a girl thing. Taking pictures in toilets.

Birthday Celebration with NIE Clique at Bar Bar Black Sheep


My favourite peeps in NIE asked me out for lunch after our psychology class on Monday to celebrate my birthday. Catherine drove us to this place that she was raving about a few months back. It is quite inaccessible unless you drive. Bar Bar Black Sheep is located along Cherry Ave, next to Sixth Ave.

My favourite peeps in NIE. =)

The western food stall closed on Mondays so we did not get to try it. But the Naans from the Indian stall made our trip worthwhile. They were delicious!






The peeps whom I hanged out with during my long long breaks in NIE. =)



Birthday Celebration with My Family at Home and Live@Teppan



Ethel and her mum made me a card for my birthday! And I was amazed with Ethel's artistic flair.



Nice right?


My cousin, Ethel's mum, bought me a cake!




My niece and nephews tried to blow the candles without me! Naughty kids! But they could win a bigger child (me!). I pushed them away and blew the candles. Wuahahaha!


Anyway, with the pampering adults around, they got to have a candle each and blew to their hearts' content.




Look at the pool of saliva on Aaron's chin and you know that he was such fun that he forgot to swallow his saliva.






The small little cake was split among 13 people.



Mum cooked giant prawns for me! These crustaceans were longer than 2 fingers combined! One prawn was enough to fill me up.



On my actual birthday, we went to Live@Teppan at West Coast Plaza to celebrate. The food was great! And we were entertained. I shall let the pictures do the talking.


















































Birthday Celebration with Sec School Gang at Bar Bar Black Sheep ... Again

Seems like this is the "in" place nowadays. Wan Lin suggested going Bar Bar to celebrate my bday. Although I was just there on Monday, I did not mind going back to try the Western food. This time round, we went there on a Saturday afternoon.

The western food Cat and Wan Lin were gushing about tasted pretty average to me. But maybe it was because I ordered the wrap instead of the steak which seemed to be their best dish. Well, to my steak lover friends, maybe you can give it a try when you go there!







After lunch, we went to Daily Scoop near my place for some desserts. Yums.. =)



I had a great time celebrating my birthday with my friends and family. =D Although growing old is a sad thing, they made that one time of the year a truly happy and memorable time for me. And I thanked them for helping me ease into another age.

I have the best people as friends. =)
