Weekend Activities

Saturday
Hmm... mostly stay at home and rest. Yup, it can be very tiring to work a full 5-day week from 8.45am to 6.15pm. Yup, some people might say it's all only administrative stuff. Well, I can tell you that you will feel very tired after prolonged hours working with the computers. Yup, someone told me that the person can play DotA, MapleStory or Puzzle Pirates the whole day, whole night, or whatever it is. Anyway, at least playing those games add on to your fun meter. Doing administrative work decreases each person fun meter by a lot. Yup, at the end of the week, not only you are dying to sleep, you will also be dying to have entertainment as well. Hmm... Maybe in order to achieve both, I should dream about myself playing games.

Well, since my lesson is only in the afternoon, I just rest at home and use the computer (haha... think I'm spoiling my eyes) to surf around. Nothing much to do anyway, and I also don't really feel like going out to exercise, or walk around the shopping centres. Just kind of sleepy, and me don't really have that mood to do so.

For the flute lesson today, the teacher ask me to conduct aural lesson for my classmates. Haha... Actually I don't really know how to teach aural. Well, I mean for aural, you should at least know something about the music notations, beats, melodies, harmonies and all these things. Didn't really know how to start off with the aural. Anyway, the last time I had my aural was at 2001, when I had my Grade 8 Piano. Can't really remember how my teacher taught me aural last time... Anyway, the aural lesson went on quite badly, think most of them didn't really know the answer them... Never mind, hopefully things will get better.

Well, after I came back home, I went out again with my family to had our dinner at Chinatown. We just find any place to settle down at eat. Had chicken rice meal for dinner. the chicken wasn't that bad, just that there were a lot of bones inside. After that, we just had a short walk around Chinatown. The place was kind of crowded, not sure if it was always very crowded during the weekends. Well, there was anything much of our interest to see, so we went back home after walking 1 small round.

Sunday
Well, my teacher ask me to come in the morning with my sister to let him listen how I played for my exam pieces. Ok, we reached there way before 9am, because my father was scared that there might be a jam on the expressway. Ya, I can see that the car was still able to move up to the speed limit of the expressway. We actually waited outside the studio for some time before my teacher came in.

Hmm... thought that the lesson would be like 1 hour, so that my teacher can polish up how I played, but in the end, it was only just a short 15 minutes. Yup, the teacher REALLY just listen to what I played, and made some comments. He then just told me to practise at home. Yup, we travel all the way to Plaza Singapura just to let him hear my playing for 15 minutes...

Ok, anyway, my sister and I had our breakfast at Burger King after my lesson. Yup, there was a Burger King coupon that came with The Sunday Times newspaper today, so we used that coupon to had our breakfast. After that, I went back home first, as my sister wanted to cut her hair over there.

Later at noon, I went to Tampines Mall to met some of my campmates for lunch. Well, Andrew was going back to Australia to study, so we decided to have lunch with him at Tampines Mall. Before that, they went for windsurfing. Hmm... Windsurfing seems fun, but don't think I would take up as an recreational activities, since I don't know how to swim... Hmm... Kind of sad...

Anyway, I met up with Hong Joo first, since he wasn't going windsurfing with them also. We went to walk around the shopping mall, before looking for a POSB/DBS ATM. Hmm... Didn't expect the POSB/DBS ATM to be so diificult to find in Tampines. I could see lots of UOB ATM, but couldn't find any POSB/DBS ATM inside and around the mall. Eventually, we had to go out to somewhere futher to the POSB branch to draw money. Ok, so UOB actually dominates Tampines...

Met up with Shi Qing, Wei Qiang, Andrew, Jun Ren, Kai Quan and Haohan in Tampines Mall after withdrawing the money. Well, Jun Ren suggested that we try out the food at Phin's Beerhaus n Grills (which kind of specialises in steaks and grilled stuffs), so we decided to have our lunch there. Well, I ordered the Weekend Dory and Prawn set, which comes with the soup of the day (cream of broccoli) and a drink (I chose Peach Tea as my drink). The food that I ordered was quite nice, and as what Hong Joo said, it taste better than the food in Fish and Co. Hmm... Maybe because they added a bit of beer onto the fried Dory fish, so it taste somewhat nice...

After that, we went to have a short walk around Tampines before going to the Tampines library. Hmm... Kind of odd that Shi Qing went home after the short walk, thought he might want to go to the library as well. I supposed he had something on. Just browse around the books there, and after that, we call it a day.

Yup, tomorrow is Monday, the first day of the week, but don't think tomorrow will be as blue as other Monday. Yup, just 2 more working days to go. Haha...
