The outing that my dear has planned

This is the Punggol beach. We went there after going to the natural hot spring.

The beach itself was quite small.... erm ok, very very small compared to east coast park. I think the main activity you can do here is only fishing.
We took bus no. 82 from Serangoon bus interchange and it was a very long trip.
The beach was so ulu that the bus had to go very deep into a forest then when reached the clearing had to make a u-turn then can alight.

We dipped our feet into the shallow waters and later a lot of sand was trapped inside our shoes. We then kinda washed our feet on the steps leading to the sea. ;)

Backtrack a bit, the Sembawang hot spring... why no photos???

We were too happily soaking our feet in the hot water that we forgot to take pictures. The place was very very very ulu as well. We lost our way when going there and actually walked past the entrance. The instructions we found on the web were not useful. It was like "The Sembawang Hot Spring lies off Gambas; Avenue near the junction of Sembawang Road and Gambas Avenue" and "it is very easy to find, there will be a concrete path leading you". There was the junction but 2 concrete paths!! In the end, we took taxi and only paid $2.50 (i.e very near). What an experience... The hot spring entrance is sandwiched between 2 army camps and I can actually take bus no. 980 there... but never mind, since bf cannot. The water was very hot and need to be "dilute" with cooler spring water.

Tip: IF walk out from Sembawang MRT station exit B, go straight then left at first traffic light. walk past a pri school then all the way straight down to a junction. Cross the traffic light to the opposite where the army camp is (will see barbed fences). Walk left (head facing the camp). Straight all the way down until u see a path between the barbed fences. Pls LOOK carefully, don't miss it, heading past it will lead to hdb estates and a bus stop.

The weather is going haywire.

Look at the picture to your left. Very bad sign, looks like gonna have a thunderstorm... but no drop of rain at all, even though it is very cold and windy. Weird.

Today, weather seems fine and hence I never bring an umbrella out. While returning home from school, it rained and is funny because the Sun is so super scorching and yet still have raindrops on me. To add on, it is not drizzle but normal dose of rain.

What is happening to our weather?????!!! Scary.

Busy week while parents happy elsewhere...

Parents not at home... good? I really wonder...
Mother left for holidays in China just giving me more money and ask me take care of younger sister and inspect the maid as well when she come over to do household chores.
Today is the 6th day and the maid is coming over.
Morning still okay, get to watch vcd "Take the lead", after that went out with dear to buy ingredients to cook.
Mother left without telling me there was no oil... only saying there is vegetables in the fridge, can cook instant noodles...
Sigh... have to buy oil, and also realized that almost 90% of the vegetables in the fridge is spoilt and the rest 10% I dunno how to cook.

The oil is like on offer 5 liters plus 1 liter free! That is super duper heavy, but luckily my dear dear help me carried while I carried lighter stuff like soya bean milk, crabstick and mixed vegetables.

Had rice, fish fillet in orange juice (frozen fish fillet plus orange juice stir-fry) and clam chowder (canned soup) for lunch. After that, rest, while the maid cleaned the house (vacuum and mop floor, also wash toilets), and cooked fried rice for my sisters' dinner.

Nice? As can be seen from the photo, very satisfied but I only had one tablespoon to test the saltiness. Boyfriend also helped by cutting the ingredients like crab sticks, sausages, mushrooms and add the oil and soya light when required. :D Thank you, dear dear.

After that went Bugis to buy bread for tomorrow breakfast and have dinner at Mos burger as well. The bread Mother left I think expired... sigh.

Feeling Kinda stressed?

Due to some problems with my exams registration, I have been busy and feeling down for some time. From the beginning bearing so much hopes in taking 4 papers, the excitement about the challenge, to now, hopes dashed when I realized that I can only take up to 3 papers for taking computer-based exams due to an uninformed policy.
Actions have been taken but I never get what I initially started out to get, even though I'm being compensated.

Furthermore, I discovered another hole in one of my tooth, even small, it's worrying. Very sad, have to wait a month to see the dentist which I hoped my situation does not worsen.

My Japanese lessons as well... paid the course fees, turned up as emailed and find not a single soul in the room. Quite embarrassing asking around and getting answers like " Did you get the wrong day?" and "Not sure." and when I returned home to double check the email, there was no error on my part... hmmm now waiting for reply...

My hard and dark period will be over soon... I wished.
