Work Week

Been quite a few days since I last write. Frankly, I find it really strange how "jobless" life is not as "free" as I imagined! I mean, I never day-dream, nor just sit in front of TV & ONLY watch TV (I usually knit or do "facial"for Dar-Dar :P), yet there are still things that I have to k.i.v. Hmm... maybe I need a better routine. Now that teaching at SCGS & the group of Sec 3 ex-students have officially started this week, let's hope the routine will step in "naturally"...

Last Saturday went lunch with parents at Shi De Fu (Telok Ayer). Ran into Elaine & hubby. Learnt that the new adjunct teacher at PHS been talking about quiting already! Poor Joey... wonder how's she coping... will probably find out more from my Sec 3 gals tomorrow.

AT Shi De Fu, they have this very cute old photograph on the wall facing the main entrance. It's so adorable, it puts a smile on your face when u look at it :D Food wise, not too bad, but I would say it's average lah, but the German Pig Trout is very tendor though. Forgot to take photo before we ate, so u see only the bone lor! hehe... :P

Met up with Shunling, Andrew, Yuying, Xiuling & Hengyi for dinner. Not really a birthday celebration, but it's our "tradition" to meet up for meals at each others' birthday :) Went to Ting Yuan (Liang Seah Street) for steamboat. The Suan Cai Tang (highly reccomended by XL) was yummy indeed, too bad by the time Mok arrives, it's left with just chicken soup since they only top up the steamboat with chicken soup :( Then we went across the road to have chinese desserts. The mango with sago fragrance is so strong that it filled the shop! But quite expensive :( so I decided to have the peanut paste instead (so did YY), which was a big disappointment. Very starchy, not much taste & fragrance of peanut. :(

It seems that whenever we hang out, especially in the evening, we always end up being "chased"around! 1st, Ting Yuan was closing, so we went to the dessert shop across the road. Then the dessert shop also closing, so we sat at the tables along the 5-foot-way, then it appears that those tables & chairs also belong to the dessert shop, so we finally deicided to go sit at the benches at SMU (where Mok parked his car). Chatted, served the internet about this food for blood type till 3+am... By the time I got home, already 3:40am!

Dar, I know you don't wish to meet up with many people now. I know having to work OT everyday & then 2 tuitions on Saturday is very tiring. It's really hard on you. I know I'm being selfish. Yet I know why I left MOE, so I need to be truthful to myself & do the things I've missed doing, or lost over the past 5 years. I know you understand & this is exactly what you want me ot do. However, think we are so inter-dependent of each other that very often, self-inflicted guilt get in the way. I'm just glad that no matter what, we still have each other, right? This is the most important since WE are the only CONSTANT in each other's lives now, right? :)
