It's term 4 already and I feels excited and fearful at the same time. Why? Many factors or reasons. For one, there are only four weeks to teach this term but the workload is for a ten week term. Haiz!
Su just got herself a macbook, white with 2gb of ram. Courtesy of her school. Don't know about you, but after sooo long tinkering with wintel pc, you just want a computer that does not hang as often. I mean you just want one that works without you doing the works ever so often. Tried out her macbook and felt like I want one for myself. It's quite cool to switch it on and less then 30s, you are ready to be on the net.
I have many computers at home. A pentium 4 dell, a pentium, the chip after pentium 4, Acer, a G4 mac pro, the one I'm using now, a fujitsu in the office and my wife mac book. It's not that bad. Used my computers for word processing, excel spreasheets and image file management and listening to music and of course, surfing the net. But, a computer is a computer and if you had to ask which is better, get one that suits your needs, although a mac is nicer....
The week long holidays has just ended. I had remedials and suplementary every day and I'd only enjoyed the holidays on the last Sunday, i.e yesterday. We went to Bukit Batok CSC and I went in the wave pool. It was fun. Scary, but fun. Scary, er well a 35 yearl old man who can't swim don't take too kindly to wave sweeping you off your feet every few minutes. Adam was laughing at me! Yeah, but he had the float on!
After that, we had lunch at Siam kitchen in lot 10, CCK. Not bad. We could have enjoyed it more if Adam didn't have a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, the toilet all the way in Woodlands! Anyway, we had the serve buffet. 15 dishes for $14.99 per person. And we could have more for free. We didn't manage to. The food was nice. Not as fiery, but delicate.
We went to Woodlands after that. Wan was assembling something, with castors, and I just wanted to go to sleep. I did manage to get a few moments of sleep. And after that we went to Pasir Ris for a bit of horse riding! Well, Adam and Wawa went for the rides while the bigger people just watched and waved enthusiastically.
We went to Bedok Corner for dinner. Dad came on his own and we had ikan bakar ikan pari, The sauce is not as burnt as I remember when I had the dish at Clark Quay, but it was very savoury. Cost $10. I had chicken chop, Adam and Wawa had fish and chips, Su had seafood hor fun and she being the sea food horfun specialist, did not quite like it. Tini had mee goreng mama and dad had tahu goreng with fush noodles. Mum did not have anything though. She was the one acting as the clean up person, usually a position reserve for me. heh heh.
O.k tomorrow is a new day and I have supplementary at 10.30am.
