weeee. im such a lucky soul who got tickets to watch the F1 match on Friday! haha. even though it wasnt the F1 match like saturday and sunday, being able to watch the practice was an eye-opener itself. (:

its funny how a person like me will end up there among the crowd, trying to get a glimse of the speed-lighting vehicle travel pass the track infront of us in a mere split second. haha. furthermore, im not one who is into this kind of thing. but i was lucky that someone related couldnt make it last minute and passed the tickets on to me. lol. for starters, the F1 entrance passes were awesome. they already shows how good and grand the event would be.

the first time i saw it race pass me, i got a shock at how fast it was! lol. plus i manage to catch Vodafone with hopefully it was Lweis Hamilton inside. i saw the super hot Ferrari speed past too! and tried to take a couple of shots of the wonderful sight but gave up after a while as my ear drums were spliting at how LOUD the vehicle was when it passed me. lol. thus my hands were busy covering my ears! :x wanted to get ear plugs but the cheap ones were sold out and the rest ranged from S$5-40 per pair! imagine just getting one to use for like the next 1 hour i was there? not too worth it i guess.

the stalls sold pretty much nice collectables. however at a really over-priced rate. like how a simple plastic pen with the F1 logo and words costed S$10. and a simple tiny keychain costed at least S$25 and above. caps were also sold at S$40 and above. gosh! everything is sooo expensive. even a little sticker cost S$10! lol.


there were many gates we can enter because mine was the "walkabout" passes which means i will not be able to sit at the grandstand. but i guess walking around was more fun as we can constantly move around to get different views. i entered in at gate 7 which is near singapore flyer and walked around for the whole night! haha. to think that i wanted to try to go in through the other gates as well! there was sooo much walking to do from city hall to suntec area then down to singapore flyer and back to city hall again. lol.

been celebrating pretty many birthdays this few days.
with thomas birthday gathering followed by his granny birthday and a couple more little kiddies from my class. lol. its been a season of 'cake-tasting' days which leaves me feeling really fat. x)

apart from that, life has been pretty much normal. well, unless you talk about how my desktop crashed a week ago that wipes out all my programs. but at least its back to normal.

well, enough of random thoughts. haha.
back to work. (:

hello everyone, meet pretty Batam(:



just returned home last night from a wonderful short getaway to Batam. it was a 2 day 1 night trip with batam cable ski and a stay over at holiday inn waterfront with shopping trip down to the town area. everything went perfectly well! haha.

8 of us together started the day meeting at harbourfront to board the cruise - Ocean Flyte which departs at 10am. and we reached batam at 10am too! haha. because batam's time is an hour before ours. before we know it with the transport and all at 10.15am batam's time we started cable wakeboarding all the way till 6pm. hahaha. it was non-stop of fun, joy and laughter under the wonderful perfect wakeboarding weather.



as for my first time cable wakeboarding, i am glad to be able to achieve sooo much.
1) manage to dock start and start of and completeing the entire rounds by curbing the corners.
2) after like super many times, finally managed to jump start rather than dock start
3) tried wakeboarding with a slip-in slippers rather than bindings.
4) wakeskating!
5) knee boarding alone and with friends



it was super duper fun. i did practically everything that we can do at cable other than the slider and the kicker. didnt want to take the risk to injure myself. haha. but i really enjoyed knee boarding. it was super tough to control the direction and all but super fun to be sliding on water. than it was super funny when i sat with val together we kept laughing and holding on to our dear lives. lol. and first time i tried double wakeboarding where 2 person were pulled at the same time... and this time is with yoyo. so sweet. i enjoyed it especially when we were riding together and observing the pretty sunset. and and and, i really loved wakeskating! it was super duper fun! haha. riding with your bare feet on the board with totally no bindings! wwoooots.

and next we proceed to Holiday Inn - Waterfront. i believe thats the best place in the entire area so far. haha. it was a pretty pretty place and totally worth the money for the serivce and all. super relaxing. (: for all the money saved to spend on holiday is awesomely worth it. ((:

my "wonderful" view from the hotel room. lol. actually, everywhere else around the hotel looks like that.

our grandfather street.

our 1/2 a million rupiah dinner. lol!

we went shopping, eating eating and walking around everywhere too. and i finally see that Sing dollars is worth sooo much in Batam just like how US dollars is worth alot in some countries. haha.

its been super long since i had A&W! haha. loved the float! ((:

meet all pretty sunkissed babes! x) (i love this super sweet picture!)

my sweetlove.

overall, it was a relaxing and lovely holiday. no doubt its just 2 days, it made me feel super relaxed and charged for the weeks to come. haha. and it was made possible with the company of my wonderful friends and my love. (:

it was a sweet nineteen.

<3

and today i received one of the best birthday present ever. i made it through my $300 expensive british council english exam! which means to say, i passed with a good grade of band 7 (where 9 is the maximum and 5 is the passing grade). i was supposed to get at least 6.5 for i only got C5 for my olevels where at least B4 is needed to take further studies in early childhood education. weeees, so i can enrol and start studying by this year or else next year all school fees will increase by the double and so is the studying time from 1 and a half year to 3 years! omg, thats a whole lot of time! therefore, im so happy that i need not waste so much time studying and that i save myself from the terror of sitting for the nerve-recking english exam and another 300 bucks! lol.

on top of that, i had a rather nice birthday. well, the dinner was nice. but work was... not birthday ideal scenario i must say. well, lets not talk about the unhappy things which will make me unhappy again. but rather, thank my wonderful friends, val, jen, thomas and mushin who took time off to come down and join me for dinner at Indulgz Bistro. Nice food again, but a little too ex for some items. thou it was a great place to catch up and slack around! haha. and also thanks for the wonderful presents from my darlings! i love you dears. (:

before my actual birthdate, my parents also celebrated with me and bought me an icecream cake! first time in my life i had an icecream birthday cake! cookies&cream with chunky chocolate to be exact. -lovesloves. (: my dad also cooked up a storm of all my favourite dishes! hehes. feel so blessed to have such wonderful parents.

i also celebrated with my darling cousins! where they took the effort to prepare a delicious japanese meal with all my favourite food! haha. aint i lucky? plus they surprised me with the little colourful jelly and super cute cards! big hugs to them! ((:

well, the only thing really missing was the boy i guess. haha. and thou the birthday is over, there will still be celebrations to come, i guess. probably one at batam and one with him. (: and i really really miss him (more than words can say).


but still, i cant help to feel that im sooo old now. like i just hit the big TWO ZERO. and im a TEENAGER no more. so i guess i gotta learn to grow up and act my age! haha. x) which life goes on, i know that all the wonderful memories will stay in my heart.


lotsa love. <3

my dearest Nursey 1 class

my tokens of appreciation from parents, teachers and children. my ultimate motivation.

even though this is my first ever teachers' day, it will surely not be the last. but just the beginning of a long journey ahead for me. im determined to do better and achieve more.

To study hard, work hard and strive for the best in this industry will be my birthday resolution! (:


To add on to my motivation, Mulberry Learning Centre, awarded me with a trophy for being a NEWCOMER TEACHER. ((: weees.


lastly, i want to thank my love ones and friends for supporting me in making this decision to step into this industry and start working as a childcare teacher. since then, i have never once regretted and will continue to be a better teacher shirley. every mistake i have made will only make me better as it is a valuable lesson learnt. and im glad to be in Mulberry Learning Centre for they really welcome me into their family and work together with me. (:
