Hi all!

This week has been an enjoyable week with good rests and wonderful activities. It's Friday already! I have yet to pack my luggage for the upcoming overseas trip! It would be the first time I am taking a plane~~ Wahahaha! Thinking of it makes me really excited.

I shall store the excitement away and bore you with the run of events in the week.

Monday
======
International Economics exam was a total gone-case. Many people didn't have time to finish the paper at all. For me, the problem would be that I studied the wrong stuff! Anyway it's over and I guess I would have to buck up next term. After exams, Ms E and I went out for a post-exam celebration. It felt weird but fun. Probably you could consider it as my first one-on-one outing? But seriously, just let me clarify here - it's just a post-exam celebration which someone flew our kite (it was fated so anyway due to the stupid rain). Ah well, Hougang's hotplate western food is really hot! Black pepper..

Tuesday
=======
Tuesday was a tiring day as there were lotsa stuff to be settled at the workshop. The weather and jams were not too kind either. The plan of the day was to visit Ikea! Finally caught up with Pika after a series of misfortunate events which delayed our meeting time by 4hrs. And subsequently our Ikea outing was cut short too. Sigh. Nonetheless, as we had our plans for the furnishing of our rooms (he is refurnishing his) still in the doldrums, nothing concrete was decided yet. I'm thinking of putting a double bed into my small room, but not too sure if the measurements would fit. Need to draw a floor plan and then bring it to the store before purchasing the furniture! Ikea's cafe had pretty interesting offerings. Hopefully can go there again with the 7Seas to see if they can provide me with any ideas on my room! Haha. Eventually for the day we ended up in Hougang again before going home.

Wednesday
=========
Wednesday was the day Pika, Ms E and I went back to YJ for their CO (chinese orchestra) thingy. The YJCO alumni was invited back to help bolster the current CO's strength. However it seems like response wasn't very good. The whole experience, from the teachers to the quality of the CO, was not very relishing. I wonder what has happened to 'manners' and 'determination'. Anyway, the school hasn't changed very much. Hee, one interesting thing to note here - I saw my former Maths teacher at Singapore Pools! This proves 2 things: Firstly whatever probability crap your teacher taught you should not be entirely believed. You see, buying lottery is definitely a losing game, but the interesting part is not the losing of your money but the exchanging of your money for the small thrill, and the bonding you make with other people when you discuss about your hits and misses. Secondly, if your Maths teacher buys lottery, that means there is a way to improve your winning probability! Hahaha. That's what I believe~ Anyway, after the CO thingy, we went to eat and shop at Northpoint - just like what we used to do during our JC times. However, a huge portion of my memory in YJC are linked to the word 'busy'. I do not have many happy memories of that era...though I am really really really glad to have a bunch of chaps whom I can call 'The 7Seas Brothers'.. We still have a long way to go together, be it a battle with the exams or a soccer match against other people! Haha.

Thursday
=========
It was mahjong class #1 at my home and again it was Ms E, Pika and his sister. My culinary skills deserted me as it turned out to be less than satisfying. Ah well, such stuff takes constant practice and I guess my hands have gone rusty. Anyway I still enjoyed the Japanese curry I cooked myself.. Teaching them mahjong was a difficult task. Ms E had very bad memory and a rigid processor, Pika had too little RAM and poor labeling comprehensor, while Pika's sis was the best among them! Haha, talk about being younger and nimbler! Nonetheless, another few more classes they may be able to rival you guys! Oh ya, I did a plumber job too, the kitchen sink was clogged! However I managed to clear the glut (eeeeeeeeeeeeeeyucks!) and yeah, the clean up was easy-wizy.

Today
======
Tasks for today:

a. Send Pika's chair back home
b. Send my laptop to the doctor
c. Fetch my brother's duffle bag and my brother (of course) back home
d. Change HKD

Ah, that concludes my week... haha. Thanks to all! I will try to get as many presents for as many people as possible! Mochi for most of you since you guys were nearly drooling over them =p But I supposed photos would be the most desired stuff you guys will like to see right? Hee. I will be clicking and clicking photos of the HK lifestyle! So stay tuned and see if those scenery in your Canto serial drama look anywhere familiar...

Till I return, see you guys~

Thrilled
