19-8-06 A day of relaxation...
Despite reaching home only early this morning, I still managed to wake up on time for the math course at NUS this morning. SOmetimes our human adaptability and flexibility never ceases to amaze me.
ANyway, attended the course with Joanne, another teacher from my school. I thought it would be interesting. It was entitled "How to stretch your child's potential". Well, I thought it was some creative thinking thingee, but I was greatly disappointed when I attended it. It was just like Year 1 mathematics module that I had in NIE. It was like the basic concepts that children need to have in school before they would be able to solve the problems. And the speaker kept bragging about his 3 children taking part in the Math Olympiad, and making it into the Gifted Education programme. Sigh. Some people just have it good.
Anyway, after the course, I met da at City Hall. We had originally wanted to attend a musical at the SIngapore Repertory Theatre, but then the tickets were sold out already, and therefore we didn't manage to buy it. I was famished, so we went for lunch. While waiting for da to arrive, I walked around the basement, and was wowed. The new basement that has been renovated looks very very good. There were many new shops there, and it was really very pretty. Here's where we had lunch in the end. There were a lot of eateries at where the supermarket used to be. We had lunch at this place called "MIX", where they served the apparently healthy food. Hee. They had many types of wraps, all with different skins. Here's what I tried.
The red skin is made with jalepeno. A bit spicy...quite nice. It looked kind of eekie at first, but then when you sink your teeth into it, WOW! The taste is just amazing! I got the Texan flavour, which has chcken, mozarella cheese, bacon, avocado. IT's really very tasty; but it's not cheap. It costs $7 plus for this. =)
See? Even da thought it was good... hee hee=)
Last night, da got me a new hangie for my phone. I call it "toto". Ain't it cute??? =)
After that, we went to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. Hee hee. Very cute background, and we sat there and enjoyed the ice-cream while talking and relaxing.
Da with the "Zoolander" look. For those of you who caught the silly movie, you will recognize the sily look. Haha. .
After City Hall, we walked around to Bras Basah and Bugis to looks for gifts that I can get for my class for Childrens' Day. (Started looking early, just in case I can't get anything nice at the last minute. I never like rushing to buy stuff...)
AT night, we went to Penny Black's, one of the LIverpool FC club in SIngapore (I think..) to watch the opening match between Liverpool and Sheffield..The atmosphere there is really amazing. It's like, everyone is so enthusiastic. It sure beats watching the Cable TV at home. Haha. CLick on the video below to watch the people sing the anthem for a feel of the atmosphere.
