Julia Gabriel's Trinity Guildhall assessment
Homework! Oh, Homework!
by Jack PrelutskyHomework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you
away in the sink.
If only a bomb
would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework
my teacher assigns.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're last on my list.
I simply can't see
why you even exist.
If you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
It's B1's assessment at JG today.Picked her up from school at 3pm, and she's to change and take light snack in the car on the way to JG.
When she practised reciting her poem in car, she suddenly forgot part of it,and her folder's with her teacher in JG.
Luckily,I called hb,passed the phone to B1 and asked her to tell daddy to search internet for the poem.He managed to find it,and let B1 practise over the phone.
At night, head hb praising B1 for having smart idea of calling daddy to search internet...When B1 told him that it's Mummy's idea, he just kept quiet and stop the conversation about the poem and test.
Anyway,B1 said her teacher commented that she did very well for her assessment.

As if I am not Suay enough...
Thought something,like a stone hit and broke it.
Knew I was wrong,when I drove my car to Toyota Bodycare Centre at Pandan crescent today,with B2 along.
The cover at the back's gone! I must have hit may be the side mirror of the illegally parked vehicle and the impact caused the cover to fall off,and mirror broke.
Changing just the mirror is cheap and easy,but with the cover is another complete thing. They need to spray paint the cover, which take about half a day! With B2,I couldn't afford to wait there for so long.Taking her+stroller+stuff to take a cab home first,then take a cab again down to collect is going to be troublesome.
Decided to just fix the mirror and cover, come for the spray painting another day, probably on Thursday.As Wed need to pick B1 from school after her recess for Julia Gabriel's Trinity Guilldhall assessment.Friday B1 has school in the morning session.
What is the damage? S$200+ to fix,inclusive of labour and spray paint, plus the time and taxi fare to make few trips to the workshop!
Sign...as if I am not SUAY enough!

New Phone-Nokia N86 8MP
Bought Nokia N86 yesterday,with hb's $500 Singtel voucher.Hb top up the difference...as early birthday present for me.
Checked out various places for the price without contract before buying.Price starts from $739 (not sure if this includes GST),$750,$768,$798, to the most expensive one at Singtel Shop $868.
Mine comes with a free bluetooth kit, which later i realised that it's redundant,as I don't use bluetooth, and hb already had a few bluetooth kit.Should have asked for micro SD card instead,since the phone doesn't come with memory card.
It's bigger and much heavier than my 6220c,but I am fine with that,since I usually carry my bag with me,so could just leave in the bag when not in use.
Until today, I am still trying to figure out how to solve my "problem" with this new handphone.
After restoring data from my old phones,I kept getting "not enough phone memoray to perform operation...delete some data....".
Realised that ALL messages in my old phones are transferred to the "Draft" folder on my new phone, I deleted all the messages.Now I am able to do some general and phone set up,but after that I get the same message again...not able to do anything due to "Not enough phone memory" again!
Setting up email is a breeze,but not so for the Wi-Fi.Still not able to get it up,even with their "wizard". Totally clueless, and hb has been very busy this few days to help me.
The package comes with some trial games, and 1 Free Download of the trail game. I don't usually play games or listen to music on my mobile phone,but I think B1 would love the N-gage game.
GPS also seems easier to activate than my 6220c,but I doubt I'll be using it at all.

Longchamp Legende Clutch
http://www.longchamp.com/en/collection/women/lines/legende/showroom-255.html
Saw this Longchamp Legende clutch and fell in love witth it. Even B1 said the patent one in Taupe looks nice!
The patent one cost SGD669,whereas the leather one cost SGD800+.The leathers one all come with gold hardware,so I don't like it,even though I love touching the buttery soft leather.
I have never had any patent leather bags before,heard too much stories about color transfer,cracks and peeling etc, never dare to buy any patent leather bag.

Restaurant: Grandma's...It's so local...
Tried out this restaurant last Saturda. It's located at B1 of United Square,next to Cold Storage and Guardian Pharmacy.
Food is more Asian or Malaysian style.
Beef rendang's portion is quite small,but enough for two.I prefer smaller servings actually, so that we could try more dishes, or have some room for desserts. Beef is tender and absorbed all the flavours of rendang.
For King prawns,min order of 2pcs are required.We ordered 4pcs,and cost $30+.
Dessert order is "Monkey Business".Nothing fantastic,just 1 scoop of strawberry with another may be 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream,with slices of bananas,some nuts,whipped cream.
The service staff are quite polite,but the service is rather slow. Took quite long for them to serve all the dishes.Normally when we had lunch at Tang Dian Wang or Swensen, we are still left with lots of shopping time before picking B1 up.At Grandma's,we are left with very little time.
Overall the food is ok, but so good that I would like to keep coming back for it.If I need a comfortable place to dine in (especially with B2) and wanted some local food when I am in United Square,I don't mind to come to this restaurant again.
For Citibank credit cards,every $50 spent will entitled a $25 voucher for next visit(min order of $50 again).
