Tired Weekend



Oh what a weekend! I felt tired. Extremely tired.

It first began with a night long practice in church for sunday's hymns on Friday night - after work I have only waffles and curry puff as dinner. Practice was at 8pm. Still i was slightly rushing for time.
Initially, planned to meet mical at CP for Starbucks coffee and study but practice ended later then 9.30pm. It ended far more later then I've expected. 11pm.

Yes it's 11pm, when we all head home from church.

Just about 8 hours later, we meet at church to set off for a retreat. We gathered to head to St Peter and Paul at 7.45am!

The retreat was suppose to start at 9am but we were told 830am. Early is good but I've not had any food yet except the Maggi Mee supper I had last night.

Retreat was good, eye opening to other choirs of other churches. It was in celebration of St Cecilia, the patent saint for all choirs. A Mass celebration marks an end to the retreat at 1.30pm.

Wonderfully and miraculously, could still make it to Vivo City to meet Mical and Mel for Shopping. Felt tired and sleepy. It was lunch time so I decided to go Starbucks and get my favourite drink ; Peppermint Mocha. and 2 Belgium waffle wth honey.

Yummy! This was great!

1st stop was Zara - Mel's got a long sleeve blouse which she needed badly to buy for work
2nd stop Warehouse - n/a
3rd stop Esprit - n/a
4th stop Mango - Mel's got her working pants. Mical got herself a Dress! How wonderful!
5th stop Osim roadshow - Mel to run her social errands while Mical and myself was all eyes on the Vivo City Drummer Boys!! Cute, active, interesting and fun to watch.
Mel left us.
We went walking in TANGS, dinner at White Dog, Nichii and G2000.

At the last 2 stops, we bought pretty much stuff. Blouse for Mical and a office dress for myself.
For the first time, I bought a office dress!!! How unbelievable.


While Mical found her pants at G2000, I've got a Cranberry lip balm from The Body Shop.
ps: Hopefully, it'll work will with my sensative lips. :P

To make my mental mood worse. As usual, I attented sunday morning.. (panda eyes le) afterwhich choir practice. Home, change, out for meet up ex-SU pals at Marina Sq. :) manage to catch a rest at Kovan Mrt while waiting for Candice and Nizam.

At MS, we catch the Christmas Carol (3D) and it was 13 bucks. :( . Just this once...
Fun and crazy bowling session which strikes, washing the drains, dropping the bowling ball and all the funny scenes..

End the day early with dinner at home and now checking emails, register for my Kr classes, study a little and update this.

Really tired. now i'm turning in early to have good conditions for a new and short week!! hehehhe :P

ps: next weekend is gonna be happening too!!! ok Jean dont too happening. Must study..

my greatest reward from Bali Trip

My greatest reward for this trip is to see Dini again after almostly more then 4 years, I think.


She was so sweet that she took a day off on sunday to spend the time with Candice and myself. Her boyfriend, also fiance, even took 2 days off. For us? Indirectly, I suppose. Jokingly I said to Dini, " He took for you, and you for us!" :)


Before the trip I heard from her that she rides since 13years old. WOW. I didn't know that.
Candice took Dini's bike and I took Gusti's bike (her bf). Told Dini, " You take care of Candice, my friend, and your boyfriend take care of me, Dini friend." Weird right, but it make sense la..


Candice can get to know Dini while I get to know her boyfriend a little.


















We spend nice moments at the beach, at sunset.


As usual, my madness, ask Dini to do the jumping shot at sunset. Really memorable. It was her 1st time doing such thing. Good for her.
























My 1st time to experience something like "lamp light dinner" as the whole stretch of restaurants experience "blackout". Thus, the only source of light are the oil lamp and moonlight. It was also a very fresh seafood dinner.


Although we left a lot of rice, but the place creates a nice atmospohere with company of music, songs and dance performances.



















I still remember the scenic view from the status of Garuda Wishnu(top down) on the shores of Bali. We took some really lovely photos here.


The ready Garuda, Dini and myself at the very bottom

Well, its late. I shall stop here and continue when I have time and photos.
