JG no more

Yesterday, Kae attended her last lesson at Julia Gabriel Playclub.

We've decided to place her in a full day centre come next year. Erm, but we've not yet found a place for her. Hah. We will decide more in this when we are back from our Perth trip. Yes, we are going to Perth in early December! Woot woot!

Anyhow, I felt quite sad actually after the last class. Having spent 1 and 3/4 terms there, it's inevitable that one feels nothing about leaving; leaving the place where you spent 2 hours of your time twice weekly; where you watch your daughter play and learn; where you get to spend time with other children and mummies. I have no idea if Kae understood me when I told her that we will not be going back to JG come next term. Sigh.

The Handburger

We finally tried the burgers at the Handburger.

Kae was with my parents so we thought why not eat there as we would not have gone there is Kae was with us. As luck would have it, just when we want to eat there, the queue there was super long! And it was a Tuesday!

Anyhow, the food did not disappoint. I had the Original Handburger, while dar had the All Works burger. The patty was juicy at first. But as I took quite a while to eat, it became dry and crumbled after a while. I lurve their straight cut fries! It seems like the fries have been placed and crushed in between paper; quite dry and thus not oily at all!

And please have their Lychee Mint drink. It tastes like the mint was freshly crashed!

But it is quite expensive. 2 burgers and 1 drink cost us around 40 bucks. Hmm. To indulge in expensive burgers once in a while is okay I guess.

12 years ago

I was walking around the shops in Orchard. And suddenly, I saw groups of junior college girls shopping for their prom night. Yes, that time of the year is here.

This brought me thinking to my own prom night in JC. I have no idea why, but it seemed that it was no big deal in my JC. We didn't have prom dates; we went as a class. Our prom king was a joke, seriously. Our prom queen thought she was getting married that night, and was all dressed in white, and her prince charming was also dressed in white. After the draggy dinner, everyone except the commitee went down to boat quay to celebrate in a less stuffy environment. I still remember that night. Students from VJC, ACJC and SAJC were all gathered at Boat Quay after their dinner, which happened to be on the same night. And I had to call my dad to come fetch me and my friends home as we could not get a cab during the wee hours of the morning!

And Kae is 22 months old!

Oops, I missed the date. But Kae juz turned 22 months old on the 10th. Reaching her terrible twos soon. Though I think she has already reached that stage. Hah!

Annual Golf event

And so we went down to the Barclays Singapore Open 2009 on days 3 and 4.

This time, we brought Kae with us on day 3. But as children under the age of erm, 16 or 18? are not allowed into the Barclays Pavilion, we had to take turns to go into the Pavilion and have our lunch. Hah! They should really set up an area where families can bring their kids along. Hey, now golf is a damn popular sport among the kids.

And so we brought Kae and pushed her along while we walked the course. She fell asleep after a while so it was easier on us. But we didn't really stay long though. Heck. It was damn hot and tiring after a while, so we left early. Which works out well, as it started to rain soon after we left.




We went back on day 4 without Kae. Which meant we enjoyed our lunch and tea and drinks in peace. Heh. And were able to walk for a longer time at the course.


We followed Els for like 7 holes, after which we went back to the Pavilion. Think he was trying to get a breather after one of his shots. He just walked out of the greens, and to where we were standing. Hah. Everyone were like trying to take shots of him, and take shots beside him.


Oh, and we got a real close up shot of Adam Scott!
