testing 1,2,3

this week ... black clouds over my head somehow. been into clashes with tchers! why me! i dun need this attention esp bad impressions! hate it esp the day i clash with a MALE tcher from g2 about using bathrooms! that gay had really mean look and talk to me like i am a third class citizen. no manners and attitude was wrong! i dun have a problem with gays cos i got a few frens who are, i am fine except for RUDE ones! and they think they can bully others with words and can't talk nicely then that i dun accept! dun wana bump into him again. now i hate thursday cos of computer lessons and thats when it happened!

i wan peace at work please! by fri, i finally finished up the folding and hole-punching readers... tedious cos its boring folding and repeatedly hole punching stacks of paper! i wot be able to finish if i hadn't brought it home to do most of it on thursday. lucky for me gx fetched me from work on thurs and he work morning on fri!

Fri afternoon after work, board the free shuttle to Mr Hoss house. he held a home party for primary school staff. this is my 2nd time at his place. this round the buffet was held outside his front door and not in his dining area. so i didnt get to admire his house or know if there is any changes in his home decor. the food half from mr hoe school caterer and half from Michaelanglo a restaurant at Holland V. it was gooood! love the mushroom that was superb! love it cos the top of the mushroom mwas bread crusted stuff topped with cheese. there was tandorri chicken in sticks... yummy but from where i dun know. pastry cups with spinach, pizza, grilled big slices of brinjal, local delights like popiah, chicken wings and sotong ball and there are some pasta and salad that i didnt try.drank 2 glass of white wine... after eating and chatting, went over to the poolside to sit for awhile... as always feel uneasy... left me and may and we waited for a chance to say goodbye to boss.... we sat there patiently as i show her pictures from my old camera... then when 2 sets of teachers make their move, we followed. lucky for us we didnt wait long althou we missed a bus. took the train home and when i got home i felt SICK! headache, nauseaous, aching all over and fever i felt hot! so i went to bed straight! i was feeling so awful! slept till morning! and i felt better... its crazy! i felt so weak that fri nite!

Saturday morning went to give tuition and its for 4hrs... cos thurday not well after 45 mins i left so owe them 1hr and usually on sat tuition for 3hrs! scolded my student cos never do homework again! got home prepared and finally we decided after i suggested botanical gardens to test our new camera. but thats not over first shot we had with the camera... when we left suntec last sunday when we walked bac to mrt we took some shots with the new camera! of the swisshotel of cos! when we turn into the carpark... i was amazed with the number of cars... the carpark was pretty filled. went to the food court to eat my late lunch! chose indonesian bbq... bbq chicken rice with a triangular egg omelette which was very flat.but lucky the chicken was not bad like the sauce. and the soto ayam was like thai soup cos the lemongrass was strong. but i like it.after that we started our walk! this is our 1st shot. i find this interesting and a good idea... its actaully the floor... cemented floor with leave imprints. nice patterns like fallen leaves... we tested our camera and haha ours was tiny among people.... cos there were others with HUGE SLR and long lenses! but we were happy with ours.i am actaully amazed with our botanincal garden some parts they have really dolled up and and the plants are nice. these cattails i think looked great when the wind blew...

trying our hands at artistic shots? haha.... looking at things in different perspective.the swan lake has got no swans... prob becos of the birdflu... but there are lot of fish and turtles.we fed the turtles with biscuits! they had to fight with the fishes who are the faster for the food. this turtle came so close to the edge!this reminds me of the botanical gardens in Bali... our 1st try with the new fuji to take shots together... difficult... cos bulky! but managed a shot at our 1st try! Gx said he like the yellow leaves on the tree.wanna guess wat i was trying to take... when i was about to click it ran off!gx managed to catch a shot on the little squirrel... there were 2 and we saw another before this big tree. we haven been to this park for ages... never been to some area so dun know if its new item onot...but to us its new... like this catus park. we headed to ginger garden where i finally saw halia the restuarant recommended by alot of sas staff... i expected it to be in deeper part of botanical garden. the red flower below is found all over the ginger garden cos this is ginger flower... and we managed to test our camera when we spotted a buterfly on the flower.after a "long" walk thru the grass field, we walked up a hill and i remember where exactly the cafe was! we sat down to get a drink! and of cos need dessert! lemon meringue tart... its was so lemony! first try was sourrrrrrrr then ending with a sweet touch . after 2nd try jus wan more of it! very tempted to buy the whole pie! hee to share of cos... but becos we were heading to pick up family portrait and gx needs to go amk buy badminton shoes. he say he would bring me bac there! i wan to go bac for more desserts! haha! the place and the walk was good. lucky for us it wasnt burning hot. tot it mit rain but it didnt. so lucky us. when we walked into the carpark... got ferrari SUV? i know they are not called suv dun know wats it called lah. and oso a bentley next to it... this flower very interesting.... the stalk is bent in and out. and they are dangling downwards. this is where we finished feeding our biscuits to fish and pigeons! when we went to collect the portrait i was wowed by the biggest portrait. 30R. it was pretty. it was as tall as me sitting on the floor. i was sad cos when i saw my g,pa i wished he saw this. watched his bdae video and was sad esp towards the end cos thats when he spoke for the last time his grand speech! it was the last bdae candles i lit for him...
