i can't be tamed...Apologies for this really late and long entry. i've been kept busy with school experience for the past one week plus till there's insufficient time for me to take a second look at my blog and start blogging a new entry. It was really an exhausting week. Having to wake up at 6am during the primary school observation period was already a chore, and worst still, 5.30am every morning during the secondary school observation period. i know i should not be complaining about loss of sleep here for its going to be the same lifestyle once i step foot into the actual teaching career. Allow me to rant about it here first before i don't get a chance to in future. i still regard this as my honeymoon period though...
Amidst that busy week, there's still the existence of fun. You know that, i'm a person who balance my life. It's not all about work and studies, we need our own playtime as well. And so, i chilled out with two different groups of friends on respective days after my observation. Despite already overcomed by fatigue, i still carried on the meeting plan with them... sorry, i just can't be tamed...tsktsk!;)
So here they are,
Dated back on the 7th of July, the ahas celebrated deb's 20th birthday with her over at manhattan. The strength was only four as two others were down due to their busy schedules. Despite that, we still carried on with the birthday plan (premediated surprise). She was taken aback when the waitress walked towards her with a brownie ice-cream cake. Overall, the surprise was a success.
Despite a year older for her, its going to be a better year ahead. Just like fine wine, we grow better with the years.
Dated back on the 8th July...
A hunt down at ikea with two other besties last thursday after my school experience. That was the thing which kept me motivated till the end of the morning session and i left exactly on the dot at 1pm. Coincidentally deb was asking whether i'm free to lunch with her after we knock off at one. i accompanied her. Though it was only a short lunch, i managed to capture some photos with our birthday girl(Deb) and that's the second day i'm celebrating with her.
Soon after that, i proceeded off to meet wk at cck platform and we headed down to woodlands first before changing to the next mode of transportation, boarding on bus 168 from woodlands interchange straight down to tampines ikea. Usually if you were to take mrt down to tampines, it will take you at most 50mins, however, the bus ride only took us 35 minutes to reach our destination. It was a pretty fast ride with wk as companion and given the fact that the bus does not stop that often as it mostly travels on the expressway.
Tampines ikea is somewhat sok's territory. It was my first visit there. The first impression of it is its GIGANTIC!!! They have this huge warehouse in ikea where all the stocks are kept
This is exactly how the warehouse area looks like.
This cafe restaurant at level one sells delicious and cheap hotdog combo at only 2 bucks! i love ikea's hotdogs. In fact, we all love it. sok and wk will never fail to add in the mustard together with chilli sauce. For me, i'm just only having it with chilli sauce for mustard sauce isn't to my liking. Aside to this hotdog combo, the cafe also sells yummy quick bites like curry puffs at only 90cents each. After the first taste, i felt as though i was eating old chang kee's curry puff. Ikea's curry puff has equally nice fillings inside in comparison with old chang kee's and in fact the egg is bigger! Not forgetting the vanilla ice-cream going at 1 buck per cone, you've got to try them.
After the short quick bite, the hunt began. we went on to explore this gigantic furniture store. There are few showrooms where their display of furnitures and designs attracted our attention. we liked the colour combination used, mainly black, white and grey mixture which gives the room a cosy and classy feel. If you have the intention to revamp your house and are currently contemplating of which kind of furniture designs to go for, you might want to consider ikea for they have nice designs in there and the furnitures are not charged at a exorbitant price. It's affordable and you can have a go at DIY-ING your own house!
There are many other fanciful toys under the children's section which caught our attention. Cute, soft fluffy toys for you to cuddle! we were especially interested in those doggy soft toys and we really have the urge to cuddle them back home. i also chanced upon handmade finger puppets which come in a whole packet. A pity i didn't capture any photos of them. They're kawaii.
Ikea is well-known for delectable quickbites and and main courses in their cafe restaurants. Apart from the hotdog combo, they have crispy chicken wings which are finger-licking good as well as meatball meal where the meatballs are tasty and they blend well with the sauce. It's time to dig in during evening time and we indulge in a variety of palatable food. Indeed a sumptuous dinner meal. Night falls soon and we headed back home on our bus ride... i simply just zonked out straight after washing up.
i'm thankful for my bunch of friends who has always been there for me. i always love their presence and i enjoy their company. Especially when the trio gets together, there's no absence of fun and laughters. Time spent is always insufficient and we can never have enough of it. Another week is coming to an end, i'm hoping for a next outing soon. tsktsk. Love you all.
That's for now.
