First half of April

Okay just some updates about how i spent april thus far.

April's fool started with me having my 1st piano diploma lesson with Jezz. He's a really cool guy and he is freaking talented. Really glad to have such a great music teacher. We were pretty friendly from the start and he gave me a contemporary piece for sight-reading. Oh and the piece he wants me to play for dip is my bro's grade 8 piece as well.

On the night of the 4th, had an argument. Was just discussing about the daji juniors and exchanging opinions about them but ended up, some others disagreed with my pov and actually scolded me. Was really tired alr so wanted to just sleep but ended up rebutting back. The next day i was so emo that i whatsapp ironwoman asking her weird qns. Luckily everything's alright now.

Next up, 5th April was my dearest Liyin's grad show at Vivocity. Chiong down after work to meet sam and yating for dinner before heading to the amphitheatre. The gals went to buy gongcha and fetch virina while i waited there for the event to start. The clothings presented at the fashion show were really cool I must say. After that was going around vivo searching for presents for liyin before we got sam to distract yating so that the rest of us could get present for her as well. Then, we surprised liyin with the cake and present at food republic, with her mom, sis and grandma there. Headed home afterwards and had good talks with yating, sam and huixian in the train..

But.... something happened in the night. NTU required me to submit min 1 max 3 appraisal form. And so i got two JC tutors and 1 sec sch tutor to write for me. The one from my Sec sch tutor was supposed to be the most important. reminded her to complete it at 830pm while watching the fashion show but end up, she didn't do it. I was pretty upset by it and I actually got restless about the whole thing and whatsapp-ed ironwoman about it. She was alittle shock cos she thought I was talking about her.  

okay anw, good friday was spent going to the titanic exhibition with bro and sis and wicked with bro in the night. Titanic exhibition was awesome! Love the boarding passes they gave. We folded our own lifeboats and headed for dinner at the food court. Bought macarons too, it was freaking expensive but well, once in a long while. hehe. Starting of Wicked was alittle boring and I fell asleep for awhile but the 2nd half was really good! They gave us a free wicked bottle too cos it was easter! 

Saturday was spent going back to sch for CO pracs in the morn and then home to await jia en's arrival! I had my first experience hand-washing clothes too cos my grandma was here! She ended up helping me wash bulk of it. BUT.. i did wash a few too. Damn tiring actually. The night was spent with my little cousin... playing angry birds, going by the pool side and feeding her junk food like ice cream and jagabee. haha fun fun night with jia en...

9-13apr
It was a super hectic week at work cos Jeanette wasn't around. I had to tend to interviews everyday except thursday. Even had interviews in the morn and afternoon on friday! And i got prank by the computer almost everyday. mon was the computer beeping nonstop when i tried to on it, tues was internet down, weds was problem with using on the monitor! Must be Jeanette's prank! I was telling wailin that i can't go out for lunch for almost whole week! luckily managed to spend some time eating with her on weds... but she took half day leaves too so i didnt get to talk to her that much. AND.. we neglected jeanette the soft toy and wong wong. told wai lin they can mian bi si guo for the whole week. Stayed back for OT almost everyday except thursday too cos there were simply TOO MANY emails to clear alr.

On thursday night, i went back to school to have sectionals with wu laoshi. Met yuxin at nex beforehand. she  helped me to buy my fav hokkien mee while waiting for me to reach. Bought icing room's cheese cake bars and headed back to sch. Left one cheese cake bar in liang's pigeon hole and walked back to CO room. Only called her to tell her while walking halfway and like 2 mins later, she texted and said thanks. she must be super hungry to be so efficient in collecting food. haha.

 Yuxin and I had our dinner outside CO room at the fitness corner. It;s a place filled with much memories. All the times sitting there eating, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner in the midst of our practices. Practice was good and i enjoy the daji times spent together. 

Okay, this is the first half of how i spent april. Shall continue on part 2 soon. =D

Destiny

Recently, I realized everything in life is destined and planned...

Was looking at pictures taken back in 2009 on facebook. Happened to notice that the crabby tutor was wearing her Kent Ridge Hall shirt in the photo... I only know what's 'Kent Ridge Hall' after attending NUS open house recently but this information was alr 'given' to me 3 years ago.

And i met her together w juan ning and huan wen at music dreamer live cafe when it was my first time there. The cafe had so little ppl that night yet there were so many ppl i know. and it was the most awesome experience at the cafe. Had so much fun talking to huan wen and whatsapp-ing the crabby tutor.

I met Hui Hui at the math rep forum last year. Met only for that one time and we didn't talk or even smile at each other in school afterwards. We only have each other on fb! then now, just cos i asked her one qn, we became pretty good friends.

Then yesterday, I wanted to go back down to the 6th floor after delivering items to the 10th floor. I unknowingly stepped out of the lift at 8th floor cos some guy was waiting for the lift too. So after realizing that Im on the wrong floor, I waited for another lift. And the most unexpected thing happened! The lift door opened and I was stunned for a sec cos mrs emily sim was inside! Honestly, thought that i could look for her when i first came to HQ but realized that each teacher who transfer in only stays for 2 years. But still, I met her in the most surprising manner. If I didn't get out of the wrong floor..... Destined isn't it?

This morning, I met Mrs Bheem, my primary school prinicipal while walking to work. It's been so long since I last saw her. Probably when i was in Primary 4 when she left KCP. And we talked. Got to know that she's working at HQ too and I look forward to meeting her conincidentally more often.

Last is ms sherry tan. We have the most... fate? I've met her once on the bus, at an escalator, at parkway and the other day, in the lift of HQ. She doesn't works in the main building of HQ but we met cos she was here for meeting. and then, I met her again while going back to the office from interview centre. And at MOE exCEL Fest. Fact is.. I don't know her personally. We just recognized one another cos we were both from KC? How fated is that?

Therefore, I think everything in life is destined. A person or a thing may be beside you for the longest time alr but you only get to understand it's significance and get to know more about it when the right time comes.
