Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones. The colors black and orange have become associated with the celebrations, perhaps because of the darkness of night and the color of fire or of pumpkins, and maybe because of the vivid contrast this presents for merchandising. Another association is with the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
History
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it ismore typically inked to the Celtic festival of Samhain or Samuin, which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end". A similar festival was held by the ancient Britons and is known as Calan Gaeaf.
The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year". The celebration has some elements of a festival of the dead. The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honored and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces. Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames. Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual. Another common practice was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink. The name 'Halloween' and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

What a boring.
I was supposed to go out but in the end? I stayed at home the whole day, except in the night.
I am done with Interact Club issues, sent out e-mail in the morning.
♥E♥and I thought of vegetarian foods, so we decided to go Circuit Road.
Guess what? The hawker centre was under renovation, we wasted our trip down.
Oh well, the whole journey was filled with jokes and laughter!
Last day of October, time flies.
I've been through a lot this month, I hope November will be a better month.
As for tomorrow, I don't have any plan at the moment.

I made a right decision by leaving eFusion Solutions Pte Ltd. I wasn't able to handle the stress and expectation given by the company. Please respect my decision and don't ask me the reason behind it as I don't wish to talk about it. I will not answer to any of your question(s) pertaining to my decision. Don't ask me about my plan, I've got my own plan.
I spent my evening with Twinnie Poon, HPY-Paulina and BFF-Sin Yee. An enjoyable gathering, that's for sure. I met them at Raffles Hospital, why we ended up there? I don't remember. After which, we had our dinner at Raffles Hospital's Banquet. Guess what? We walked from Raffles Hospital to Singapore Flyer. The distance? I don't know the exact distance but, both of my legs are in great pain now. After our dinner, we decided to take a ride at Singapore Flyer. $10 for students, isn't it cheap? The ride took about 30 to 40 minutes, if I am not wrong. Twinnie Poon was afraid of the height, she even cried. The scene was funny, definitely. HPY-Paulina and I tried to calm her down and with our "support", Twinnie Poon managed to stand up. And, her palms were both wet, very wet. Overall, I enjoyed myself in this ride. We even took some photos!
After the ride, we decided to walk to Marine Square. The purpose is to find HPY-Eileen and Hong Kian. Both of them were there, waiting for us to arrive. Once again, we walked from Singapore Flyer to Marina Square. In between, we lost our direction, credits to Twinnie Poon. Once we arrived Marina Square, supposingly we should walk up the slope, BFF-Sin Yee asked us to walk up the stairs. We went to the arcade and spent some money on catching soft toys! Yes, we enjoyed ourselves. Twinnie Poon and I took a cab home from Esplanade Mall. The end of the day!
I enjoyed myself today. Hope to meet them up more often! Enjoy your weekends, readers.

I burst into tears again, during working hours and lunch break.
I couldn't control myself, despite telling myself not to cry.
I sent a text message to Miss Ang and she asked what happened.
At that point of time, I wished to talk to her on the phone.
And, I did. I excused myself from the call floor and gave a call to Miss Ang.
She gave me advices and encouragement, I remembered each and every single word she said.
Miss Ang and Mr Zaki came to visit us this afternoon.
Mr Zaki had a chat with me, individually.
He also gave me advices and where to improve on, I told him that I will try my best to improve on it.
I hope my mind will stay positive and not negative.
This job doesn't suit me at all, not at all. But, what to do? One word - endure.
But, how long can I endure? - Only Heaven knows.
I also hope that I will not cry tomorrow, trying my best to stay positive and happy.
The following sentences are from Miss Ang:
1. "Everyday is a new day. Start your day right, positive self-talk and see whether you will feel better."
2. "With positive self-talk, and not dwelling in self pity. There is no chance for crying. You have what is inside you to success, dig deeper - you have more reserve than you know."
For those who are free, kindly send me text messages.
I will definitely reply to your text messages, your text messages meant a lot to me, so that I will not think negative.
Thank you!
For now, I am still indecisive. To give up, or not to.
But, I don't mind giving it a try. It's my choice, after all.
I am tired, very tired, extremely tired.
Nevertheless, I still want to thank Miss Ang, Mr Zaki and some of my friends for lending me their listening ears.

Happy birthday to my father!
From me, to you:
Not many can have a father
who’s half as great as you.
Others might try,
but they fall shy
You’re a top-notch father,
it’s true. So that’s why on your birthday,
I want to make sure you know,
I admire you sincerely and love you dearly,
And those feelings continue to grow.
Of all the men in the whole wide world,
whose praises are sung out loud,
there is no man whom I respect more,
or of whom I am more proud. Throughout the years,
you’ve worked so hard
to provide us a happy life;
You’ve been there to help and give advice,
and you did it all without strife. That is why on this day each year,
I pray all your wishes come true;
Today we celebrate your life,
so Dad, Happy Birthday to you!
I hope you will live long and stay healthy forever.

I wanted to get this phone long ago and now, I got it!
For this package, I paid $118.
$100 for the upgrade of plan and $18 for the pouch.
I took my lunch, together with ♥E♥.
Both of us went to TampinesOne's SAY CHEEZE.
The ambience was great, except for the hygience and waiting time!
I ordered mashed potato, chicken wings and soft shell crab. The three dishes were nice and worth the money!
♥E♥ had vegetarian pasta and durian cake.
Our bill - $41.30. It was expensive but the foods were nice.
After which, we went to The Central. The train station was so crowded, why? It was Deepavali. Happy Deepavali to all the indians.
I went out the whole day, feeling so tired.

I burst into tears.
I believe most students like us don't know how to handle with stress.
Some said they can, are they really sure about it?
Today is my first day of handling calls, I just kept calling non-stop. I kept asking myself not to cry, I got to be strong. Just right, Miss Ang called me during my lunch break.
And, I burst into tears.
I wasn't the only person who cried, few of my friends cried too.
Most of us ever thought of giving up but Miss Ang told me that Mrs Yeo (Section Head of Banking Services) took out the project part. In other words, those who got terminated will get an immediate failure in Industrial Attachment Programme.
It is not easy to work in such environment, if you are happy with this job, you can carry on in this industry. What about those who are unhappy with this job? They are the ones who will suffer, or even cry every single day.
I placed the cup on my table, featuring Jasmine - Davin - Li Chien - Iris - Boon Theng. I miss them a lot!
No one wants to fail Industrial Attachment Programme, even though they cannot endure.
Frankly speaking, no one can endure, except for a few.
Some even asked for transfer, some parents felt sad to see their child in this state, some wanted to give up.
How I wish this will end soon. I guess I will secretly go to the toilet and cry every single day. I believe this is the best way to relieve your stress.
When Miss Ang called me during the lunch break, I told her all the problems that I am facing currently.
We've got no choice, I believe all the lecturers can see what are we facing currently.
She advised me not to give up, asking me to persevere. But, my reply was - I will try my best. No promise that I will not burst into tears again, it can happen at any point of time.
I will be changing my phone tomorrow, as well as my phone plan.

Second day of training - Jerene, Roy, Ashikin and I reached before 9am. Roy was told to reach the company by 9.30am. But, my group wasn't told to reach by 9.30am. So, most of my group members thought that work starts at 9am. After marking attendance, we went down for breakfast. And, we had some chat. About 9.25am, we went up and started the training at 9.30am.
Today's training is more interesting, as compared to yesterday. We had role-play, we learnt from each other. Script was given, we just need to read from the script and everything will be fine.
Met up with Twinnie Poon in the morning. And, we met for dinner. I planned to prepare a script for my work but I noticed one set of my notes wasn't with me. I called Jerene and she said that my notes was with her. That set of notes is very important to me. So, I decided to get the notes from her. Twinnie Poon and I took cab - from Tampines to Clementi and from Clementi, back to Tampines. After alighting, Twinnie Poon took the cab back home. The cab fare was $40. Throughout the journey, we saw the word 'Toshiba' for 4 times. 'Toshiba'? Paulina is 'Toshiba', 'Toshiba' is Paulina. Twinnie Poon and I were laughing in the cab. Dear Paulina, please show mercy and stop "haunting" us!

First day at eFusion Solutions Pte Ltd, I was feeling nervous and excited before the start of work. I was supposed to meet my friends at 8.35am, but I was late by 10 minutes. First, all of us went to the conference room/ meeting room. A short briefing on the job scope. After which, we walked around the company. Next, we were all split into 2 groups. One group will be working under Standard Chartered Bank while another will be working under HSBC Bank. According to the trainer, RBS Bank is closed down. By right, a few of us will be working under RBS Bank but now? Those from RBS Bank will be working for HSBC Bank.
Today and tomorrow will be training. After which, we will start work. It is just a training but most of us are feeling tired. The working environment was great, most staffs are sociable and friendly.

Last day of holiday, tomorrow will be the first day of Industrial Attachment Programme. I am feeling excited and nervous at the same time. Time flies, after Industrial Attachment Programme, I will graduate from Institute of Technical Education. I will definitely miss all my friends, lecturers, canteen vendors, cleaners and more! But, I will miss Interact Club most. Let's hope that the events will be held on weekends, which is highly impossible. Well, you will never know!
Programme of the day: 10.45am - I met up with Twinnie Poon, we were heading to Tiong Bahru Plaza. 11.15am - HPY Paulina came. And, we went to KFC to discuss on an issue. 12.30pm - We left KFC and decided to walk around Tiong Bahru Plaza. In between, we were laughing non-stop.

After which, Twinnie Poon and I went to Singapore General Hospital as Calvin was there waiting for us. One of the patients passed away this afternoon. We witnessed the whole situation. Before I stepped into the room, I noticed the patient was having breathing difficulty. He was wearing the oxygen mask, I even saw him taking off the mask. But, a Staff Nurse noticed and he helped to put the oxygen mask back. When Enrolled Nurse was checking patients' blood pressure, she noticed that the patient's blood pressure was low. At the same time, patient had no response. Other nurses and doctors were notified, they tried their best to revive him. The patient didn't want to drag any further, he decided to give up even though his son wanted the doctors to revive him. I believe the patient passed away peacefully. Family members were informed, the moment his wife arrived, she cried. She was saying words which caused me to cry as well. I couldn't hold my emotion. But, his wife is very strong and brave. So are the other family members.
Tomorrow will be the first day of work. New beginning, new environment. I hope everything will run smoothly. It's time to get some sleep, I am tired!
Stay tuned for more updates . . .

What a busy and tiring day.
Programme of the day: 9.50am - I met up with Twinnie Poon. Venue - Tampines Regional Library. The reason why we went there, I printed out the research which I've done on The Royal Bank of Scotland. What about Twinnie Poon? She went to borrow books, related to Arts. But, she didn't manage to borrow those books due to one reason. Approach her if you want to know the answer. 10am - The gate opened. This sounds cool, but I couldn't think of a better term. Well, come to think of it, 'the gate opened' sounds good. You should see how people rushed in to the library. 10am to 10.15am - Printing of my own research. 10.30am - Calvin came, we went over to KFC. 11.15am - It's time to order our breakfast and lunch! 11.45am - HPY Xin Hui came. 12.15pm to 2pm - Discussion on 'My Service Learning Journey' booklet. In between, I was teaching Calvin.
As above is my programme of the day. After which, I went to visit my father. I do believe there is still infection going on. I do hope that the infection will be gone soon.
One more day to Industrial Attachment Programme! I shall enjoy my last day of holiday.
Stay tuned for more updates . . .

Friday? Saturday? Is today Friday or Saturday? It seems like Saturday but the truth is Friday. Guess what? My memory is getting from worse to worst. What I had for lunch? I don't remember. Who did I went out with the day before? I don't remember.
I spent my morning doing research on The Royal Bank of Scotland - Credit Card. On the other hand, I was watching '黑糖群俠傳'. Guess what? I watched all 13 episodes within a day. This drama is worth watching, why not spend some time watching it?
Photos taken on ♥Y♥'s birthday have been uploaded in Facebook. Videos are on the way, be patient.

Tired, very tired, extremely tired. Why am I having headache every single day? This is irritating.
K-session with HPYs-Eileen & Paulina and Twinnie Poon. Twinnie Poon and I were both early. We decided to buy some foods at Cold Storage. I bought sushi and ... and ... and ... I don't remember what I bought in the morning. My memory is getting from bad to worse. No matter what, I must improve on my memory! Throughout the whole singing session, we kept laughing. Yes, we had lots of fun and laughter. This is my last gathering with everyone, before the start of Industrial Attachment Programme. Photos were taken, together with some funny videos.
Currently, I am busy editing photos. Meaning? I will just post a short entry!

Programme of the day: 9.50am - I met up with ♥E♥. 9.55am - Hunting of birthday cake, we bought the birthday cake from Prima Deli. 10.05am - We took cab to Marine Terrace, where ♥Y♥ stays. In between, we switched to another cab. The taxi driver claimed that he needs to fetch another passenger. I believe the passenger must be his family member. This is ridiculous! Unfortunately, I didn't take note of the name and plate number. Forget it! 10.35am - Arrived at Marine Terrace, Block 15. 10.45am - The start of celebration. We decided to give ♥Y♥ a surprise. I told her to meet at the void deck but ♥E♥ and I were at the staircase area. I even told ♥E♥ that ♥Y♥ stays on the 15th storey. But, I decided to walk down to the 14th storey, just to take a look. The pair of slipper looks familiar to me. It belongs to ♥Y♥, thank God we found out the mistake. Otherwise, we will miss the surprise. I was thinking on how to give her this surprise, I've decided to shout and scare her. Mission accomplished! I shouted 'Happy Birthday'. Yes, she was shocked. The whole process was recorded, using ♥E♥'s phone. The scene is always on my mind, I couldn't stop laughing whenever I think of that.
Celebration, giving presents and taking photos are necessary when it comes to someone's birthday. We took lots of photos, even took a video on the three of us. I will try to edit the photos by Friday. I will definitely post the photos in my blog. As for video, unless you got a Facebook account, you can view it. Video will not be uploaded till further notice. Most importantly, please stay tuned!
After the whole celebration, ♥E♥ and I went to Bedok while ♥Y♥ went for badminton session with her friends. It is another memorable day. I went to Bedok North's NTUC FairPrice, the outlet looks so different, as compared to months back. I saw lots of new faces, looks like they will be suffering.
I went to visit my father in the afternoon. Great, I was having headache. The pain is killing me, up till now! My father's condition is better than yesterday, as usual. Hope that he can come home soon. I'll be waiting for you, daddy.
Guess what? K-session with HPYs-Eileen & Paulina, together with Twinnie Poon and I. Sin Yee will be working, what a pity. Don't worry, we will meet for dinner! I believe photos will be taken tomorrow. Two words - stay tuned.
Not to forget, Twinnie Poon and I watched 'Wild Child' and 'Twilight' in the hospital yesterday. 4 stars for both movies. Can you believe, I cried after watching 'Wild Child'. The ending part was very touching. Two words - worth watching.
Stay tuned for more updates . . .

Tired, very tired, extremely tired. 6 more days, to the start of Industrial Attachment Programme. Times flies, I do hope the time will pass very slowly, I would like to spend more time with all my loved ones!
I went to Tampines Mall's Popular Bookshop, to purchase a birthday cake. I was with Twinnie Poon. After which, we went to Singapore General Hospital. We reached before 12pm, we went to look for Leon and Huimei. 1pm, the four of us went for lunch together. We never failed to make each other laugh.
I am glad to inform everyone that my father can be discharged by this week. But, according to my mother, my father was shivering at night. Doctor said there might be infection going on. Looks like my father cannot be discharged? I don't know! Let's hope everything will be fine.
Tomorrow will be a long day. Photos will be taken, so is video.

Happy birthday, ♥Felly Ho♥!
Happy birthday to a special friend!
Although I've known you many years,
your happiness should last till all things end!
Because you've been so understanding,
in toughest times you've made me laugh and smile,
rejoice in your own specialness awhile:
Always your concern has been for me.
Make a wish and give it wings,
dreams of bright and beautiful things,
dance through all the fun filled hours.
Don't forget to smell the flowers,
share some love and birthday cake.
All life joys are yours to take
and when evening comes to view,
thanks your lucky stars you're you.
You are my best friend,
my very best friend,
you make me happy, everyday,
you share your great snacks,
you share your best toys.
So please don't take my best friend away.

Monday blues, this is the first day of the week.
How to avoid Monday blues? Why not spend the day with your good friends?
I spent my morning with Calvin, together with Twinnie Poon.
We went to KFC, I was there to help Calvin in his Principle of Accounts. GCE O Level Examination is around the corner, the progress in his Principle of Accounts is slow. Both of us are busy, we couldn't really fix a time to meet up. But, I will try my very best to help him in this subject, I will definitely teach him and hope that he can absorb as much as possible.
I hate the rain, it is a must for me to walk very slowly. Just in case I fall, Singapore will have earthquake.
I spent my afternoon in the hospital, with Twinnie Poon's accompany.
As usual, we laughed a lot in the ward. Guess what? We saw the China lady again. Never will I expect my mother to talk to her.
But, I am glad that my father is doing well, looks like he can come home soon.
My night was with HPY-Paulina and Twinnie Poon.
The three of us went to Chinatown, Twinnie Poon wanted to sell her iPhone.
She sold her iPhone at $250. We couldn't decide on where to go, in the end? We went to K-Box!
We had the karaoke session from 5.45pm to 9pm, full of fun and laughter.
We took photos and videos as well.
Another karaoke session this coming Thursday. I am glad to inform everyone that HPY-Eileen and Hong Kian are back to Singapore. Time flies, they are back from their exchange programme.
Stay tuned for more updates . . .

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, or in Chinese, 中秋节 is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese people, Japanese people, Koreans and Vietnamese people (even though they celebrate it differently), dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. It was first called 中秋节 (literally "Mid-Autumn Festival") in the Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumn and spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar , when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest. The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the few most important holidays in the Chinese calendar, the others being Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice, and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Traditionally on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomelos together. Accompanying the celebration, there are additional cultural or regional customs, such as: 1. Eating mooncakes outside under the moon 2. Putting pomelo rinds on one's head 3. Carrying brightly lit lanterns, lighting lanterns on towers, floating sky lanterns 4. Burning incense in reverence to deities including Chang'e 5. Planting Mid-Autumn trees 6. Collecting dandelion leaves and distributing them evenly among family members 7. Fire Dragon Dances Houyi and Chang'e The story of the fateful night when Chang'e was lifted up to the moon, familiar to most Chinese citizens, is a favorite subject of poets. Unlike many lunar deities in other cultures who personify the moon, Chang'e simply lives on the moon but is not the moon. Tradition places Houyi and Chang'e around 2170 BC, in the reign of the legendary Emperor Yao, shortly after that of Huang Di. There are so many variations and adaptations of the Chang'e legend that one can become overwhelmed and utterly confused. However, most legends about Chang'e in Chinese mythology involve some variation of the following elements: Houyi, the Archer, Chang'e, the mythical Moon Goddess of Immortality; an emperor, either benevolent or malevolent; an elixir of life; and the Moon.

By right, Sin Yee, HPY-Paulina, Twinnie Poon and I supposed to meet today. We planned to go Chinatown but, the plan was cancelled. Sin Yee couldn't make it, due to some personal issue. Knowing that Sin Yee will not be meeting us today, HPY-Paulina decided not to meet. Paulina is indecisive, we don't know how to say her. Yes, I was angry with her. Words were a bit harsh. I even asked her not to bother when she asked to meet. Twinnie Poon and I went to Singapore General Hospital, to visit my father. His condition is much better than yesterday, less swell on both hands. After which, Twinnie Poon and I went to take a nap. Both of us received a text message from Paulina, we agreed on meeting. The meeting time was 5.30pm, she came at 6pm, late for 30 minutes. Throughout the 30 minutes, Twinnie Poon and I went to Iluma. Cars for sale on the ground level, we took a look and guess what? Twinnie Poon decided to buy a car. After meeting up with Paulina, we went over to Bugis Junction. We couldn't think of what to eat for dinner. In the end, we decided to settle our dinner at Marina Square. The weather was bad, we couldn't go to the root-top. The three of us walked over to Marina Square. Guess what? Paulina said she will be leaving at 8pm. Yes, both Twinnie Poon and I were angry. Let it be!
On the way home, Twinnie Poon asked about ♥Y♥. So, I sent a text message to ♥Y♥. She was at home so, we decided to meet her. We played sparkles at the play-ground, even took a lot of photos. And, guess what? We took a video, my role was a maid. Isn't this cool?
Not to forget, few days back, I went back to school. We took train to Outram Park, just to meet Sin Yee. Once we reached Clementi MRT Station, the security officer wanted to check my bag. This is ridiculous and stupid!

I received a message from May, after Mid Autumn Festival Celebration ended. Content: "Hi Ronald, 是我，May! 今天才发现其实你的华文不错。 唉... 真的是舍不得你（不知道今晚会失眠吗？）你也真是的，不早点跟我说你最后一天，不然我一定上台为你唱一首郑秀文的名曲，我舍不得你“爷爷”。......"
I met up with Twinnie Poon this afternoon. First station was Century Square, I went to collect my phone. I've learnt to save all my contacts in the SIM card, it is a must for me to check every now and then. After which, we took cab to Singapore General Hospital. Let me tell you, we almost fainted! The worst driver we ever saw, we even took down the name of driver and plate number.
In the evening, we met up with HPY-Paulina. With her around, our laughter will be as loud as thunder. We couldn't stop laughing. Paulina said the following words: 1. Twinkle twin-ke-rer rittle shar, 2. Re-pub-breet Polytechnic. If possible, please figure out the above words.

Happy Children's Day to all children in this world.
Today is Children's Day. Today is an important day for me - The release of exam results for September 2009 exam series.
Banking Operations: B
Customer Relationship Management Process & Applications: B
Principle of International Commerce: A
CumulativeGrade Point Average: 3.255
I am satisfied with this result, never expect to achieve such result too.
I was expecting to see one or two Grade C in my result but, there isn't.
What's next? No more examination, attachment will be the next station!
Twinnie Poon, HPY-Paulina and I went back to school.
What for? - To search for Paulina's phone.
Despite being told so many times that the phone couldn't be found, she insisted on searching it. Look at how stubborn she is.
As friends of hers, we promised to accompany her. We even took cab to school.
We spent less than an hour to search for it, Paulina decided to give up on searching.
I saw Miss Christine Lim! Glad to see her again. We talked about result, attachment and Friendship.
So, we went to meet Sin Yee. The journey from Clementi to Outram Park was funny.
Twinnie Poon and I couldn't stop laughing at Paulina's pronunciation.
Guess what Paulina pronounced the word 'Braddell' as?
She said . . . Oh my goodness, I am starting to laugh right now.
Alright, she said 'Bladder'. Not that we are making fun of her but, we are there to make her feel better.
And, it works. She was smiling all the way till we left Chinatown.
After visiting my father, we settled our dinner at Singapore General Hospital's Kopitiam.
We had Korean food for our dinner! Throughout the whole dinner, we were laughing over many issues. One of it was "o-ya-peh-ya-som". Next, the way Paulina eats.
We couldn't make a decision, either to go Esplanade or Casual Poet.
In the end, we went to Casual Poet. Sin Yee and I had Bacardi Breezer - Lime.
We had nothing to do, we decided to leave.
Life is full of excitement, especially with best friends around.
