Sean and terrence met up at the Choa Chu Kang MRT station to travel together to CHIC St Convenant at Toa Payoh there to attend a seminar for the special needs for children in singapore. Ah chong couldn't come because his chicken pox has not recovered yet. Jonathan called Sean shortly that his father is picking us up outside the station. We board his father's car at about 8.30 am then headed over to Toa Payoh there. Then daryl dunnoe where the location so he waited at Toa payoh central for Jonathan's father. At Toa Payoh, he nearly lost his way when some ah peks led him in wrong directions. Well he managed to meet Jonathan's father somewhere in Toa Payoh and travelled to the school. We were early and tried to establish contacts here and there. We took our name tags and put it on and proceeded to the seminar room. Then the guest of honour, Dr Amy Khor arrived to give her opening speech and we are off to break for refreshment or breakfast. Then attended two more talks after that. Feel like falling asleep. After that we are off to break for lunch again. We took a quick bite before we seperated ourself to attend the different seminars. Daryl and terrence attended one of the statistical report together while sean and jonathan attended the classroom management thing and then we grouped back in the seminar room after that for speech seminar. It's so boring until all of us almost want to sleep. After that is the closing ceremony. Well, Jonathan's father went off first and we attended a last seminar. That was a great one which depicts how we should teach special needs children here and there. The tutor was great and we had a great time with her! After that, we departed the school and began walking to an mrt station. And suddenly it poured heavily! Sean and daryl headed back by mrt and bus respectively while terrence and jonathan went over to somerset for a bite before jonathan had to go off for a meeting and terrence heading home after that! A great day of knowledge and fun!

Destination: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Who: Terrence, Sean, Jonathan & Daryl
Once more, we found ourselves heading back to our 'favourite' haunt; Bukit Timah Hill.. Why always Bukit Timah hill u may ask. Well, I'm not too sure either.. Can only guess. Perhaps it's due to our first memorable experience scalin tis little hill? Anyways, we met at arnd 1020, all geared up and ready to start climbin e hill.. But a distraction appeared. In e form of a mother monkey sucklin her young one.. Such a sight. Really depicts Motherly Love.. CanT help but stop to take pics. of them man. Spent arnd 15mins. dere? Until e mother gt so fed-up wif havin a camera pointed at her and her young one dat she barred her teeth and charged at me.. Whew. Scary experience man.. For half a moment, i tot i was in for it. Luckily she decided to stop.. Hence, was able to escape wif nth more den a thumpin heart. Set off for our favourite place dere; Hindhede quarry.. On e way, our usual pit-stop, e swing and all. When we reach e quarry, took a couaple of pics. of it and lingered dere for arnd 45mins.. Geez! How time flies when u're havin fun.. Gt to really rush up Bukit Timah Hill as we had little time left. Terrence gt to leave by 1400.. But alas, we didnT even get to start climbin Bukit Timah Hill. Why? E answer is once again link to Man's cousins.. We saw a whole troop of Long Tailed Macaques. Terrence wanted to take a pic. wif one of e monkeys so we stopped for awhile.. Or so we tot. Well, dat took such a long time to get a decent shot.. Coz firstly, the shadows of e trees enshrouded e monkeys. Dat means a slow shutter speed.. Resultin in more shakes. Secondly, e monkeys were so temperamental.. Nv know wat they mite do. Who knows b4 e shutter is press e monkey mite haf already charged at Terrence.. Lastly, monkeys bein animals are often rather shy when ppl get too close to them. So they always shun Terrence.. Makin e task much tougher. Neways, after much effort, we gt e shots.. Den we went to observe e monkeys. A whole family of them.. Wonderful experience. Can really see e love and e close bonds e monkeys shared.. So after awhile, we left e monkeys alone and headed for Al-Ameen for lunch. Boy, they sure were hungry.. Ordered a set meal costin 35bucks. Whew.. Comprisin of soup, meat, veggie, egg and stingray. And they finished e whole thin man.. *applause. Well, didnT had much appetite.. Juz had smth light but even dat was nt finished.
Wif a stomach full and a memory card dat stored e precious moments we had, we went our seperate ways..
[3 Mar. '06]. At last.. The exams are over. Still canT believe e fact dat we're completely free for almost 2 mths.. Well, it nids time to suddenly adjust to e newfound freedom. Ha.. Guess wat eh? After e last paper, we all had a mini conference.. E goal of dat objective, to plan out e holiday schedule. Seems cool man.. Now juz waitin for Sean to type it out and send each of us a copy. However, e first outin wun come dat soon.. Muz wait till e third wk of March before we can begin e adventures. Y? Coz e poor Loon is down wif chicken pox.. Sad rite? Well, hope he gets well soon..
To tink dat it's almost a yr since we first met each other. Time really flies.. All e fun we had together.. All e thrills and weird thins we did.. All e places we went. They were totally memorable.. Neways, those were e past. It's time to look forward to e next adventures and obstacles dat come our way.. Let us be dere to help each other survive in tis female-dominated field and in other aspects of life. This, i'm sure, we'll be able to do.. =)
