Whatz up????
Another whatz up? Well, this week has been a pretty laid back week cos I only need to teach for ONE day and the school is closed for PSLE marking. Thus, I utilise this week to plan stuffs, run errands, spend time with Bryan as well as go praying…
Went to KUSU island yesterday with Kheeliang and Xiayun. We met at 9am at Clifford Pier and boarded the boat about 930am. Reached there about 10am. Spent the first half hour eating breakfast and walking along the coastal line. Afterwhich, we decided its time to join the crowd!!! There are so many people there cos this lunar month is the praying season… hee, dont ask me what season cos I really dont know. :p
Being totally ignorant abt the praying process, I simply followed what Xiayun does. She helps out at her aunt’s temple very often so she knows best what to do… hee. Going from God to Deities to Goddess, we finish our round of praying at the chinese temple. This is the 2nd time I went to KUSU and this temple. It has changed lots cos the "Sentosa" Organization had taken over the island develpoment and thus added the touch of "resort" feel to it.
The totally new experience for me was the visit to the Malay temple. They call it the "Datuk" temple… its my first time there! First, we had to climb 152 steps to reach the temple. Panting and catching my breathe… again, I follow suit to what Xiayun does. However, she went so fast that I lost track of what she is doing. So I followed the rest of the crowd there. At a stop, I placed my offerings for the "Datuk" and gave my donation. The "priest" there offered me some blessings and it was a pleasant experience.
After completing the rounds of praying there, we retreated to the coastal line again. I took lots of pictures using my mobile phone camera and we had lots of fun. Below are some pics for you to enjoy! I got both Kheeliang and Xiayun to jump while I capture him in mid-air. It came out really nice! I tried to jump myself but found out that I could not jump as high and so the pics turn out 
I also took lots of pics of flowers and plants on that island. Posted some here too. I really liked this mobile phone of mine. Its the one that I lost but I bought back the same model - (Mitsubishi M350). Really Cheap & Good!
Rumble, rumble… our stomach starts to get hungry and so headed for the temporary tentage there for food. We shared fried kuay teow, traditional laksa & lor mee there. The food here are alright… and reasonable priced.
Filled tummy, more walking around! As this is the 1st time Kheeliang went to KUSU, he went around reading the signboard. It was interesting to learn more about this island. We pass by a small pond of torteise. I went down and took pics of 2 torteise that posed for me. Hee… they immediately returned to the pond after I’m done. Ain’t they cute…..
Well, after half a day of outdoor activities, we are all tired. Returning to mainland, we decided to go for some drinks. While walking along the linkway between Clifford Pier and Change Alley and Xiayun spotted an interesting shop. I took a look inside and I saw an old friend of mine-Rachel!!! We have not seen each other for about 3 years! Rachel and I were in a business building team together before. Then she took great care of me especially when I had my knee injury. The shop was co-owned with her sister and they started only about 2 weeks ago. They sell laces and patterns for sewing or iron-on. You can make belts or revamp a plain shirt into something really beautiful! Lots of little stuffs too. I bought a broad lace make a belt as well as a little mobile accessory for only $13.
All you need is a little creativity!
Happy with our purchases, we went for our drink. We had our little discussion about what we can do together and decided some possible measures to earning an income during the upcoming season. And while typing this, I realise that I can also put up a little booth during the upcoming ACPAF! Hee… :->
Thats all for now! I know I still owe the pics on this page… will put it up once I get them into my PC from my phone…
Whatz up? | Comment (1)Encounter ????
Yesterday morning, I receive a sms from the person who picked up my phone. He says he would like to meet me and return my phone to me! I was so delighted! However, when I replied back, there was no response. I waited till near midnight yesterday when the person finally replied! I called him and set up a meeting today to pick up my phone at the Downtown East Registration Counter (Currently the Check-in and key collection counter) at 3pm. However, Johnson - 21yrs old (Whom found my phone), told me that he doesnt have a phone and had been using his friend’s phone to slot my SIM card in to contact me. Thus making the meeting up a little harder as we will not be able to contact each other on site. Anyway, I went in hope and waited.
I waited for 1 hour and no one turns up with my phone. So I sms Johnson again hoping that he will reply me as he didnt get to meet me too. And I patiently waited and waited till 6pm. I gave up waiting and headed home - a wasted trip. No point waiting if he didnt see my smses. Anyway, Kheeliang says that if he goes thru the trouble to contact me in the first place, he will return me the phone. That I need to have faith… so I am keeping my finger cross still that he will find the next possible chance to contact me again! That I will get my phone back!
Though so, there is this little part of me saying that chances are slim…. sign…. Shh….negative tots! I must believe that I will get my phone back. Pls help me send tots out to Johnson to contact me again to return me my phone. Thank you!!!!!

Whatz up? | Comments (2)“Dramatically Exciting”
Hi, I am back!
Finally, the big day for Kheeliang’s singing competition is over! Somehow, my past week had been "dramatically exciting"!!! Well, in the mist of preparing for Kheeliang’s Semi-finals, a few incidents occured, both good and bad.
First of all, I received good news that my HDB flat had been sold! Thats mean I will be expecting some profits back to ease me of my financial situation! And Bryan will be moving back to stay with his Dad from November onwards. Sure will miss Bryan lots. But guess this change might be good for all of us too!
Following that, while riding home on my bicycle chauferring my friend behind me, my bicyle skidded and my back wheel spoilt. Thus, gotta send my bicycle for repair and getting it fixed. $$$ invested.
Next, I went for a work meeting but found out that there are some changes that I feel wasnt fair thus I am reconsidering the offer. (Well, not convenient to expose the details here lah.)
Following that, I went to Kheeliang’s Semi-finals and found that the finalist selections was pretty "weird" & "questionable"! Anyway, its still thanks for many that had helped and supported Kheeliang but well, he didnt made it through to the finals. However, he got really loud applause for his performance as it was indeed very entertaining! He could have done better but he was really nervous. Hehe… but he gave it his best shot! So I am still proud of him!
Lastly, after the competition is over and we left, I found that I have lost my precious Mitsubishi M350 handphone…. with all my contacts and photos taken!! The special moments that I had capture in my phone all gone… kinda sad and still hoping that the "founder" could be kind enough to return it to me since its a "cheapo" phone or at least return the sim card. Still putting out this thought very strongly!!! Though I have recovered from the saddness today, I am still hoping!!! And taking all the possiblity to retrieve my contacts base through email.
The trouble is that my no. is a prepaid no. and so I cannot replace a sim card with the same no. Thus my mobile no. 9102 3007 cannot be used again! Pls take note!!! This is kinda tricky… Anyway, it must have happened for a good reason. So if you do know me personally and will need my new no. pls send me an email!!
Phew…. well, its all out! Feels better now! That’s all for now!
