Back!!

It's been a while since i last blog...Just returned home last friday. US was really fun...so much to see, buy...but just so little time. Almost didnt wanna come home but cldn;t, coz had to rush back to have the teacher's training agreement signed before the deadline...*tsk tsk*

Weather was great...a bit of sun coz it's almost summer time & at the same time there was wind...I totally LOVE that kind of weather...It's just so hot back here and terrible jet lag for the past few days and still counting...definitely getting much better already. Shopping was gd too..but i think i haven't bought enough...hahah...SERIOUSLY!!!

Let u guys in on some of the stuff i bought for MYSELF: 2 pairs of flip flops, 2 pairs of levis, 1 levis bag, a few t-shirts and 1 Ralph Lauren polo tee...and of cos lots of souvenirs!!!

Woohoo...still not really enough though...oops...just too many things to buy, not enough time...sights were really beautiful...Went to LA, Las Vegas & San Francisco...BUT try not to go to Chinatown in San Francisco for dim sum man...real expensive & the waitresses are so slow and rude..It's amazing how they survive there with such minimal english...

Aniwei, as mentioned earlier, i just had my training agreement signed, just sent out application forms for NIE enrollment, and finally got on to do my public service card today...With these done, yup yup...Almost all set for the start of my career as a teacher...Shld really take this time to rest and relax...

U know, i suddenly feel i have grown just over the past 1 or 2 mths...I can't seem to explain why i feel like that...It just dawned on me that I had to do more than just the things I have been doing all my 22 years of my life...Inside of me, I want more than that!! I need to ACHIEVE!!!! I need to do things that will make me happy...I love travelling, and i did and i'm glad...but what else can i do?!

I'm not sure...

Aniweiz, i'll be back here soon again with the photos of my trip ya...keep a lookout for them!!!

Whole loads of fun!

Exams are over
Grad trip is within reach
Yeah!
Bored days ahead till the 13th May.

Yesterday was such a fun & exciting sunday
Started off with blading at East Coast Park
wah hah..boy was it fun.Bladed quite far
oh and we skated to McDonald's 'skate thru'
haha...way cool!!

Julie drove...and i sure think MF and KM had "the ride of their life" sia
Not that she was driving recklessly la, but i guess she's still new on the road
Hmm...actually I abit fear the thought of learning to drive
It certainly doesn't look as FUN as it is isn't it

Following that, we went to have buffet at Vienna International Seafood Buffet
Yum Yum...SEAFOOD!!!
Just had it last week though..ooops.
but it was enjoyable...the food was good, but the company was GREAT!!!
we ate from 7-10pm...Imagine!
From the crowded restaurant till they were almost closing

We ended the day at Settlers' Cafe
Me, Julie, Samantha, MF, KM & YS left
the rest had to go after dinner, coz exams are still 'In-progress'
Played Taboo, Pit (something like the heart-attack game) and pysche-out (think this game wasn't as fun as the other 2)
the gals were good, and we WON the guys at Taboo
GIRLS ROX!!!

Overall, it was just way fun
certainly enjoyed hanging out with u guys ya!
looking forward to getting our own blades with u all
so we can all blade comfortably yah!?

Don't be jealous mag!
We'll have another OG outing when u get back k!?
