T.I.M.S.U.M

I have no idea where to start... Juggling Facebook and a blog can be quite mentally taxing, besides I do all my updates on FB that my blog is pretty much obsolete.

Let's see, high tea at Yum Cha for Dad's birthday celebration! That was an absolutely delightful meal for my tastebuds because I havent had good tim-sum in, SIX months. The best thing is Dad's an avid fan of tim-sum, so it works just fine to bring him there for the celebration. They make really fantastic portugese egg-tarts, I was popping them into my mouth. I'm really bad with food description, but let's just say the crust was crisp & fluff and the egg custard was so soft and flavourful that it melts in the mouth. Perfect for each other!!!!

and the timsum that follows..

With the commencment of school in just a couple of days, I've resolved to party hard and then be a good schoolgirl with my lecture notes for the next four months.

Halloween Night on Saturday; EXCITINGGGG and can y'all spell PARRRTYYYY!!!!!!!!

And the Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song

The butterflies fly away

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!

Movin' my hips like "Yeahhhhh!!!!!

HELLOOO SINGAPORE

It has been a good week since I've finally reached home after been away for a good six months. It's an undeniable fact that coming back home, seeing my friends and family was really exciting and amazing.
As wonderful as it is, little did I expect the culture shock that awaits me. Having lived here almost my whole life, I thought I would have no problem adapting back... However, the past week has proved me wrong.... It's not only a matter of getting used to the way things work, but most importantly how our people are...

I felt horrified each time they bestow me with their ungracious and inconsiderate behaviour; to think I've highly promoted our country to all my friends...
If we really want to place ourself on the global map, we have better work on our service standards and to be more gracious and considerate.
Just the other day, Andrea and I had lunch at HEI Sushi and it was then I remembered how bad our service staff can be... Maybe I shouldn't benchmark using the America standards, but the least that waitress could do was SMILE... I doubt she can even make any recommendation if I were to ask...

Going to head back to school later to submit my final report, can't wait to see if anything interesting awaits me... I promise I will clean up my room on tuesday after I'm done with my report.... and I'm sure I will do it!!!!

till later

p.s. The WiFi in HK has just changed my languange to chinese, this is driving me nuts..

I'm glad I have a little time here in the airport to write up another post before I head back to Singapore. Bid my last farewell to Nemo and everyone at work, friends I've made over this short span of 6 months. It was hard but I know I have to go and I'm just thankful for the opportunity I've had to do my internship in Disney World. As much as I complain about work and how I wanted to go home during the early months, now I wished I could stay on for a little while more. To forge a deeper friendship with all these people I've met and to do more things which I haven't had the chance to, I just wasn't that ready to go....

At the same time, I'm really excited to see everyone back home... My friends and family which I've left behind to pursue this program 6 months ago... I bet there're alot of changes in Singapore now and I'm kind of excited thinking about when my flight touched down at Changi Airport.

So I've finally checked in my luggage and I've got to tell you, that was an eventful check-in with the sorting of luggage. Apparently I'm the only one with attrocious excess weight, so my adorable friends tyng, jasmine and Ben has kindly allow my stuff to bunk in with their luggage. OR I would have to pay USD$300 in total for both bags. My heart was palpitating each time I set it on the scale and how despondent I felt when it was still overweight. I'm glad I'm done with all of those...

Yeap, no amount of words can sum up my entire experience here and I'm glad to say I've gave a beautiful full-stop to the best summer of my life.
