Oh well, finally started the ball rolling for my university enrolment administration. This is the folder I got. A lion face! My horoscope is Leo too...hee.

SMU Matriculation Folder

I went to the bank today to process the bank loan. Ok, from today onwards I will be in debt and so have to start scrimping to pay back. Maybe some of your activities I wouldn't be able to join anymore...sob... anyway i'll be looking for a job so that i can work while schooling. Some of the jobs in mind include working for companies that dabble in the Dow Jones/NASDAQ etc, working at night. I wouldn't rule out nightspots as well, or perhaps stall assistant somewhere, or maybe 7-11? The job search will commence when I return from my Malacca trip. If you see any suitable night jobs please do inform me ba. I looking at some job that pays $800 - $1k. Some job that I will learn something from...(ok I rule out Networking Marketing/MLM first as it's not really fun enough for me)

Since I had to get a guarantor for the loan, it would naturally be my father. So I met my parents for lunch before going to the bank. My mother, who had to be at my aunt's place after lunch, ordered me to be in my dad's workshop office for the rest of the day so as to help out because the admin person had gone on 1/2 day leave. While in the office, I had nothing to do, so I switched on the music and read my newspaper...4.5hrs was too much for The Newpaper and Today(even with Euro2004 and GSS coverage) so I ended up snooping in the office. Found a gem below!

An ad of my father's workshop which I neva seen before

Well, the above was a laminated piece of the advertisement. Wow, I din know my father was a model on an ad before. Hahahaha. By the way, since I've already got it up there, let me advertise on his behalf too, yeah, you can see '25 years of experience' on car body repair and paint works. (well, since the boss isn't around these days, i can't claim 35 years of experience as shown haha) So if you need any repair, be it minor or major, they will even help you process your insurance claim as long as your insurance company accepts it (well, this depends on your insurance company). Any questions you can contact me ba. Some of the people whom I know and had praised my dad's workmanship include my JC friend, Jasmine, her friend's brother, my boss in HQ SA, and the current CO 23 SA. Haha...

My father looks weird in a 'spacesuit'...:p

Ok. We went to my aunt's place to fetch my mother for dinner. This time we went the temporary hawker centre of Tiong Bahru. Wow, like I wrote before, the food there is simply great. Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera to take photos, but with a twist of fate, my mother was using my brother's camera phone, so you can see what we ate. Next time we go together to eat ok!? There's really a wide variety of cheap, good food. The dessert (I din take photos of it) we had, ice Cheng Teng and Ice Kachang, were simply loaded with different ingredients and provided some coolness for a hot day like today. $2 only for the 2 desserts we had!

I had this prawn noodles at a stall called 'Min Nan'

Prawn Noodles!

This is the famous steamboat porridge there.
