Singapore National Day eve = moody day~~
Woah, today is singapore's National Day eve. This year Singapore will be celebrating it's 40th birthday so it should be quite a special and meaningful one with new Prime Minister and new vision.
I was told by our Cell Biology (CBIO) lecturer, Mrs Tang to wear red for this particular day. She even asked me to pass a round the message, but i only managed to inform a few of my classmates. As i am reli 'obedient' (really??!!), i followed Mrs Tang's advice and wore red. Haha~~ Simply because she informed me personally, ignoring will be quite rude la. After all the 'grooming' for the morning, i suddenly realised that i'm even more patriotic to Singapore than my other Singaporean classmates (just kidding~~) as my t-shirt was red, wrist bands i was wearing are in red and white and the same goes to my new Nike sport shoes. It was really a coincidence, but i really like the combination of red and white la, haha~~ There was even more. When i reached school, my classmates were so shocked by my outfit. Audrey even ask me whether i'm wearing u_der g_rme_t in red. I was 'freeze' by her but for that certainly not red la.
Actually today went to school very much earlier than usual, at about 10am while our lecture starts at 12noon. i went there earlier to revise our Biological Chemistry with a 'couple' of friends, hehe~~ They missed a few lectures and so i tried to revise them as to give them a clearer view. Poor Swee Hong was sick with high fever and severe sore throat. Vanessa was so caring to him, i at the moment was also hoping that i can have someone that cares for me. I really need someone to cure my loneliness. That is why i seriously wish that the someone will accept me..... Probably the moodiness started at the moment. Haha~~ Enough of personal affairs, back to the topic. We were only able to revise until the oxidation of monosaccharides and we still have a long way to go. They agreed that we meet up another day to finish it off.
During the Cell Biology lecture, we had quite a great time with our class, 1F06 completed the quiz given by Mrs Tang in the shortest time and full marks. But what a pity, we did not receive any prize leh, hehe~~ At the end of our lecture, we received National Day goodie bag given by Ngee Ann i think. It consists of a towel, balloon, flag and also the NEW WATER by Singapore. The New Water is really a unique kind of water, for Singaporeans, i'm sure all you guys know how unique it is lo, haha~~ (suspense....) Later on, we sang a few of the Singapore patriotic songs too. I'm quite familiar with a few of those songs as i used to watch Singapore TV channels a lot. We had an interesting time there but that made us late for our CBIO practical. Luckily our lecturer, Mdm Mrinal was understanding and did not penalise us. Whew.......
I just happened to realise that my handphone had ran out of credit when i failed to send a sms today. Therefore, after school, i went to Clementi to get myself a top up card. Really cannot stand if my handphone is unable to function. Haha~~ After reaching home, an idea poped up. I felt like going out to have my dinner and window shopping about at the same time. Without any hesitation, i just gone out. Took the 51 bus and headed to Bugis Junction. Probably due to the moodiness and tiredness, i slept on the bus. Luckily, i did not miss the Bugis bus stop. On the way, i spotted the Apollo Center where the Ark Music Cafe is located in and this had led me to another story then, haha~~ I had a set of Chicken Teriyaki Don at the Bugis Junction Food Court. It was ok but the price is quite high. I guess that is the normal price for Japanese cuisine la. After that, i immediately gave up the intension to window shop, instead, i headed to Apollo Center for Ark Music Cafe. Formerly, I was one of the singers and guitarists of the Halo Music Cafe in Malaysia, that brought up my curiosity to visit there. I have been there once but there wasn't any singers singing at the time. Today, i finally got to have a good view on them. I ordered a cup of peppermint coffee. They even served me with potato chips that i did not ask for, i wonder why (you'll know why later,@#$%@$!!). The singers there sing quite ok but a few of them failed to pitch the song well, thus resulting in flat notes (i seriously didn't mean harm okie? Just a casual remark.). However, i was truly impressed by their instrumental skill. The keyboardist and guitarist are truly experts. How i wish that i can get a chance to interact with them. I got myself a register form for the Ark Cafe Singing Competition too. It has been a long time since i last took part in a competition, so i think this should be a great chance for me to train myself really intensively for the sake of the competition. Anyway, i have not decide whether to take part or not. Haha~~ Finally, the part is here. I was going for bill for my orders. They passed me the bill and i cannot believe what i saw. $18 for a cup of peppermint coffee and potato chips. I nearly fainted. I did not even finish my chips. What other options do i have? I just paid unwillingly. Actually entering this cafe is one of my wishes. So if i really get to be a singer in this cafe in the next semester, i can then escape the high priced junks whenever i feel like to enjoy music.
I think that will be my entry for the time being. It is quite long though, I hope that readers will not get bored when reading my blog. Tata~~
