Sick.

  I didn't like this week, I really didn't. I hate being sick, because I'm not able to have all the fun and enjoy myself. Down with a really bad cough and almost lost my voice, now I sound like a man. Times like these I hate answering phone calls because everyone will just assume that some random guy answered a call on my behalf, when it's actually me. 

  Wasn't able to concentrate most of the time during my Quality Service in Hospitality progress test, I coughed more than I thought. By the time I got home I was already struggling whenever I spoke. I'm quite stubborn, honestly speaking. Instead of staying home to rest, I went out for dinner with Sebastian, Jiayi & Grace at Timbre! Ordered a whole lot of food but end up wasting it. 2 huge pizzas, nachos and fries. I couldn't even walk after that. Stayed on to enjoy the really awesome live band and left at about 11pm or so. It was a good catch up session though! 

  I barely had enough rest and dragged my feet to class the next day. After classes ended, went off to Novena for my Muay Thai training. It was my first training and I got really excited. I've been wanting to learn this for so long but I never thought I'd actually go for it. Probably owe Ryan a big thank you for this. I truly admire his perseverance to constantly improve himself during training everyday. 3 to 4 hours of training 5 days a week is tough and it was definitely not easy for him to get this far either. His passion and endurance motivated me in some way or another and thus, I made a decision to go for it. 

First training, I swear I almost wanted to give up during the first 15 minutes. I've never done such intense warm up in my entire life. Then I remembered the reason I was there, and I wanted to prove to myself that I can be better. Managed to last 2 hours of intense training and I really enjoyed it! Cannot wait for the next training on Monday! Here's a picture of how the place looks like. Really good environment because it's at the rooftop where I get fresh air! 

  
  Rushed all the way back to the West for a girlfriend's birthday celebration! One of my best friends since Secondary 1, which is about 7 years back. Cannot thank her enough for constantly being there for me, always listening to what I have to say and to lend me a shoulder to cry on. Surprised her with my presence because I lied and said I wouldn't be able to make it. Then I had to rush back home after to prepare for campus tour the next day. 

  I was really worried for campus tour as my voice was already half gone. Panicked while waiting for Mr Qamar to be escorted up to the 4th level. However, all went well! 

 Watched Chestnuts 6.9: The Less Miserable White Paper Singaporee at National Library Drama Center. A 2 and a half hours show, so it was supposed to end at 10.30pm since it started at 8pm but nooooooo, it ended at 11.20pm instead! I was panicking cause I've been arguing with my dad recently. He keeps complaining that I'm out everyday and exaggerates about it. DADS........ Oh well. 

  Once again, went off to tutor the kids. And I finally went for high tea again. Back to TWG because I cannot be bothered to call and make reservations. Spent my whole afternoon enjoying my retail therapy at Orchard.

It's 2.49am right now as I'm typing this last sentence. I need to sleep right now, cannot wait to see my favourite children at church later! All I wish for right now is to get better, SIGH. OKAY, enough said. GOODNIGHT :)

Long break.

  Lovin' this week! WHY? Because I only had to attend classes for 3 days! Thanks to Hari Raya and National Day! Best week ever. Wishing all my Muslim friends a Selamat Hari Raya! Happy birthday to Singapore, & Ryan of course. 

  I was supposed to prepare for my QSH test during the 4 days but no, I was too busy going out and having all the fun I can have. 

  Today, I was extremely busy. It was as if I was travelling around the whole Singapore! I went Novena early in the morning for Muay Thai, then traveled all the way back to Jurong Point to take a look at the Pilates class that I'm interested in. Went to Vivocity after because I couldn't think of anywhere else to go. Wanted to go over to Sentosa but I realised it was a weekend and it would be too packed. Finally settled down at Max Brenner chocolate bar to share chocolate fondue and enjoy some tea before walking around aimlessly. 


  And it's finally my duty to take care of the little kids tomorrow in church! I really cannot wait. I honestly miss them a lot. I gotta sleep early or I wouldn't have the energy to handle them tomorrow! 

Goodnight!

All the fun I could ask for.

  Another week is over and now I reckon it's time to panic. WHY? 
Because progress tests are around the corner and I'm honestly not prepared. I should start really soon although I'm pretty sure I'll do last minute work, as usual. What's new? 

  Another busy week for me, but it was an enjoyable one! Last thursday, went over to church for kindy meeting. Cannot wait for my duty so I can see the kids again! Nat came over to my place for a sleepover after! She stays all the way in the east and it would be really far for her to travel all the way back to the east, and back to the west again in the morning to attend lecture. So I told her to come to my place, and I was really excited. Being the only child, besides talking to friends, it's really quite lonely at home. 
  
  We spammed photos, took Instagram videos and did all the silly things we could till we realised it was already 1 in the morning, and we had to be up at 6.30am. My helper was really sweet to prepare french toast for us in the morning for breakfast. She's the best, and I will really miss her when she goes back someday. She's been with me watching me grow up since I was 4! Walked to the bus stop together and the best thing was that she had a direct bus to SIM. I'd really consider renting a room to her. One, it'd be nearer for her so she doesn't have to get up super early in the morning for lecture. Two, I'd have company during the weekdays! I think it's a pretty good idea though, hahaha. 

 Yesterday, went over to Siloso Beach for CTIS! I was really late though. I was so sleepy I couldn't help it but went to take a nap. Was supposed to meet Dawn and the rest at Vivocity, 5pm. What happened? I woke up at 4.30! I panicked and I was really rushing like mad. Was going to take a straight bus from my place but checked the " SGNextBus" application, it stated 19 minutes. Forget it, I'll probably reach at 7pm if I were to wait for the bus. So took the car keys and rushed over. Thank God the traffic jam wasn't that bad yet. Met Rayner halfway and walked as fast as we could from Sentosa Boardwalk. Did not take the monorail because it costs $4 just to get in?! I think it's daylight robbery! 

  Met Lester and Grace halfway and we ended up reaching at 6.30pm. One and a half hours late, we're the best. Oh well. Didn't do much there though, no sun to suntan. Went off for a movie after- Pain and Gain. Really good movie! 2 hours long and I swear my ass was really cramp after. 

  Went off to Woodlands to tutor the P6 kids again, and had lunch at Jurong Point. Back home after, because I really needed to rest. Getting old maybe, hahaha. 

 Time to rest now, have to be up early for church service tomorrow! Goodnight (:
