giving in to demands

1) i am away from school for 3 weeks due to national service. hence while you are sleeping tightly in your comfortable bed and duvet, remember that at some corner of Singapore, there is someone watching the sky for you. and that person is, of course i am not the only one but you wont know the rest of them, ME. though i still have to get out of bed at the same time, i have always seen my reservist as a chance for me to "get away". notice it's within inverted commas; so this is a good chance for a language use question, :P Every in-camp training brings back fond memories of the crap and hell that we had to take but the good thing is that there are no watchful eyes, or rather ears, over my choice of words when i am happy, sad, angry, irritated. *&^%$#$%^&^%$&

so when i get back to the "exciting" (tsk tsk tsk, i am at it again) world of teaching and learning, there is only 1 week left in the term 2 and it's the june hols and it's gonna be the same old internal oral exams, june supplementary lessons, mid-year reviews etc .. .. .. So far, confirmation wrt to my suzhou trip is still pending due to pple's indecisiveness coupled by unnecessary worries held by people who feel that they are important enough to worry for me. sorry for the very ambiguous statement. this is to cover my backside for the fear of repercussions. *free speech*

if i get to go to suzhou, it's gonna be a 2-week stint that coincides with the dumpling festival which means i get to feast on my favourite chestnut inside the dumplings. the rice and meat can give u, if u wan.

2) the grand opening of Serangoon Nasi Padang @ Blk 150A, Bishan St. 11, #01-173. this shop (since 1983) has enabled me to become what i am today; my pocket money, my education, lessons on humility, perseverance and service etc ...

if you happen to be at bishan one day and have a craving for some nasi padang which serves food like bbq chicken, bbq sotong, curry chicken, curry fish, rendang etc ... please support la. especially after all that i have done for you guys. but dun keep ur expectations too high, cos even if you say u know ET, won't ensure u a discount. probably u get better service from my other-wise "black-faced-due-to-fatigue-not-cos-she-dun-like-your-face" mother.

look out for this sign.

the bbq chicken cutlet, sotong and fish that got people asking for more

asked my old man why take a picture of "achar". He replied, "See already will cause people to lau chui nua (salivate) ma." Tell me if it does, at least i can tell my dad he is right (for once).






just added the shop to the local picks application under FB. so if u have eaten there, please give a review, LOL.
