Xiaoville: There's always sweetness after bitterness

It has been a tiring week. Last tuesday, i had my IMT before my actual range on wednesday. I'm proud to say that i'm the only one among the lot that got full marks that day! Woohoo! But on wednesday, when we were supposed to have the actual range, we only shot a few rounds before they decided that the range had to be cancelled! Apparently, somewhere in the forest behind the shooting range, some bush caught fire and there are firemen there fighting the fire. There goes all my effort that day being the store IC and preparing all the shitty store that day and more importantly, i lost the potential $200 that i might get should i get marksman that day!

Anyway, my mum came back from her holiday on tuesday and we went to fetch her from the airport. This time, Annabel, Terence and Ah Kor came along too. Before going to the airport, i brought them to Suntec City for dinner where we ate at Crystal Jade Kitchen. Treated them to the famous roast duck, salt and pepper cuttlefish and ma bao tofu. Notice that Terence has become a really big eater, while i only managed 1 plate of dried noodles, he gobbled 2 bowls of rice! I can forsee a fat Terence next time! Haha. Anyway, Mum mentioned that Hokkaido is really cold. They ate salmon almost everyday that she's now sick of it. Anyway i found out that the trip didn't come cheap...$2400 for 7 days 6 nights in fact! That's really expensive if you ask me..i would choose to go somewhere else with that amount of money!

Me, Ah Kor and Jie!

Jie, Annabel and Terence!

Spent the whole of my friday studying at NUS with Weijian. He brought me to their business canteen for lunch and their arts canteen for dinner. I must comment that the food there sucks...compared to SIM at least..but its cheaper lah. Didn't really found the form to study hard enough though before D-day finally arrived on saturday. Found out that our course was the only course having any event that day..on a public holiday! Poor exam invigilators had to sacrifice their public holiday to come monitor us. When i arrived in school, i realised that i was supposed to receive a slip of paper stating that i'm supposed to sit for this exam. But i didn't get it! So i panicked and quickly call mum. She then went down to my letterbox and found it! The stupid postman was late! So i had to trouble mum to take a cab down and bring it for me..thanks mum! The paper turned out to be relatively easy, the topics that came out were predictable. But i screwed up a few details while doing the exam because i forgot! Don't think i'll score well for this paper..now i just hope that i can pass! I promise to get my form back for the next paper!

After the paper, i travelled all the way to Yishun where i fetched Philadel. We then went on to Orchard for dinner at Heeren's NYDC before we rushed to the indoor stadium for the long awaited Lee Hom's concert. The concert turned out to be really good. There was a variety of music namely rap, love ballads, instrumental, hip hop etc..and he can play the violin, piano, drum and even the er hu! I must say i was quite disappointed when i arrived and there was no sign of a grand piano. But when they pushed one out in the middle of the concert i started to smile. What i admire most about him is when he plays the piano and sing...wooh! There were quite a lot of celebrities there at the concert too including Kit Chan, some mediacorp actors and Taufik...hahaha yes Taufik...i wonder why he's even there..he won't understand a shit! Wang Li Hong also openly admitted that he had a crush on Kit Chan when he was young and he really admires her hahaha...i wonder what Ah Mei will think about that! Philadel told me that she went for David Tao's concert recently and it was really good too..i regret missing that! Anyway this is the first one man concert that i've been to so far, the last concert i went for was Air supply's concert! Wow i guess that must have been at least 2 years ago?
