Sunday weekly affair

It is becoming a weekly thing that my colleagues and I go and have fried oysters after work on Sunday.

Saturday: Kids can be cute (sometimes)


Teacher's Day is next week I think, and some of my students gave me these lovely hand made gifts. They are really cute. They are only 4 and 5 year old, and look they can't even write their names properly yet, and they made these things. One still can't pronounce my name properly, and his mum probably thinks I am Elaine.

It really made my day at work. It is nice to know that you are being appreciated and remembered for the work you have done.

Aunties clubbing

Line dancing at the community centre near my place. They actually do play clubbing music like RnB and stuff, just that they do synchronised dance moves.

Long live oysters!


The scientist has spoken. It is absolutely ok to eat shellfish! No animal rights violated!

Just in case one day I lose my memory or become retarded, and I don't know which products are for what, here are my essentials.
  1. Burberry Baby Eau de Toilette
  2. Bliv awesome for blackheads
  3. ZA 2 way compact and blusher
  4. Super essential blush brush
  5. long lasting liquid eye liner
  6. Maybelline Lash serum
  7. Spongy hair curlers
  8. Keihl's Microdermabrasion thingy

  10. No. 10 would be all the different moisturisers that I use everyday. I think even if i lose my memory, I still won't be able to stand dry skin.

Mum

I did my mum's nails just now. =)

She was like, "I painted your nails when you were young, and now you are doing mine."

Alone time = recharge time



Today was one of those days where I head out alone and go and do whatever I like. There used to be so many chances for me to do that, but now with just two rest days a week, they are filled with errands and the day is over before I know it; but it is also because I wake up really late.

Fencing class


Taken during a class today, when my student went on his toilet break. That black chunky thing sitting on the bench is me in the coaching jacket. It is basically a jacket which once donned, makes you a live training target. It always make me feel like Michelin man because it is so fully padded.

FIE exhibit- Old fencing mask


This is an olden day fencing mask that was displayed at the FIE exhibit at the Youth Olympics. The old weapons and masks look way cooler than the ones we use now. They actually look deadly, and the old masks offer little protection. The one above is actually an improvement from the wire mesh ones, made with padding and harder metal after they realised that the fencers were sustaining too many bruises and cuts on their faces. 

MONDAY: Day of rest and relaxation

Dinner at Dempsey.

Hi-cut 1 says hi to Hi-cut 2


One pair are my fencing shoes. The other pair are awesome shoes that has been put through rain, storm, snow, dust, mud, sludge and counting.

On the way to oysters!!

I know escargots don't live in the sea.

Come to think of it, I like eating almost everything that lives in a shell.

Sound of a public holiday


Sunday: Toothbrush Theory


The idea that everyone has an idea, but it is a human bias to think that other's ideas are bad ideas and our own ideas are good, leading to people valuing their our own ideas more even though the ideas of others may be better.

Marina Bay Sands Expo Hall E


Here's where I spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that I lost all sense of day and night.

And on Monday, I was asleep till 6pm, had dinner and went back to sleep. 

Then on Tuesday, I have been sitting on this same spot of the sofa since I woke up. Two days is not enough, I think I need a week to recharge.
