another super hot day

i'm back from singapore.. 2 weeks ago i guess. I keep losing track of time and date whenever i'm in holiday. Sometimes i need to think for a second about what day is today.

Anyway, my singapore trip was a bit hectic. didn't get to spend much time with lizzy as i expected. I stayed with my cousin on the first 2 nights. On the first night, we talked till 3am before we both fell asleep. On the next night, judy (my mom's friend) brought me to a pub. I saw Nicholas Tse's father there. He's thin and, a bit old (shhhh). I think the atmosphere of the pub was nice, you can relax and enjoy the live band performance there. A good way to ease the mind.
Things i remember most about my trip are the shopping and the food. It was like a shopping trip, instead of a vacation which i'd planned for. Judy was fast and unconsciously, i kept up with her pace. I love the fact that we had to walk a lot when we're in Singapore. It's so convenient there, everywhere is within walking distance and the bus fare is cheap.
And about the food, god, I wish i had at least a week there to try out all the food. I still miss the dried prawn noodles and super-crispy deep-fried chicken chop. But eating out in singpaore is expensive, i have to say. Standard of living is high and earning S$1000 plus a month means nothing. But i really like it there. Like i told my mom, if i still can't get a proper job by chinese new year next time, i'll consider searching for jobs in singapore.

Results are out and well, i did ok. I got grade C for the course that i expected would fail. Overall a B+. I know i could've done better but i got my stress took the better of me at that time. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I mean, a grade B used to be my goal every sem.
When i first saw the results of everyone, i felt a bit.. disappointed. I'm so used to be the top of the class, so it feels a bit suck for not having the best result. Don't worry, i've got over it now. I take that as the last lesson i learn from UBD.. not to think i'm always the best. Like the chinese saying, 'another sky beyond the sky'.

Looking around me, i think i have to start getting serious with my job hunt. These days i like to stay at home with my niece and nephew. They never fail to surprise me everyday with the things they know. It's an amazing feeling when my nephew says a new word which he had never said before. know what, he has now learnt to get angry. This morning he wanted to go with me to UBD. When me and my mom said no, he turned his back to us and put up a face. The funny part is, his sister urged me to go quickly. And when i went outside, wearing my shoes, i overheard my niece saying to my nephew, 'Di, yiyi zhou le' (Brother, aunt has left). Then i heard my nephew crying.
Hehe, there have been a few occasions where my niece and i have to sneak out. My nephew is too young to be brought along but he always wants to go out with us.

It's hot these days, even during the nights. With the hot weather outside and the air-con cool air here in the room, it's so perfect for an afternoon nap :p

This afternoon, me, mimi, lizzy and mama are going to hang out at my place. I can't wait for that.
And this morning when i was driving on the highway, i can't stop myself from looking forward to the day when i can give a few hundred dollars to my mom as home expenses.

Oh, people, if you guys haven't watched the movie 'Get Smart', you should go and watch. It's too hilariously funny to be missed.
