After a scrumptious Japanese meal, we proceeded to Swensens @ Queensbay for dessert !
Reunion dinner @ TGIF
Reunion dinner at TGIF was awesome. The restaurant was fully packed. Luckily we made reservation in advance.
Like every year, we proceeded to Mahindrama Temple for candle lightings & prayers after our dinner. As usual, the main shrine was crowded with people even before the prayers started. The prayers were led by the chief monk together with his followers and it ended slightly after midnight, at 12.10am.

We had dinner at the Japanese Restaurant in Cititel Hotel.
Cheers!

♥ School
HECTIC is the only word that could describe my first week in school. Gone is the honeymoon year. I find Form Five to be very different from Form Four. At the very least, i don't need to crawl out of bed early in the morning last year. These days waking up as early as 5:45am every morning is no easy task for me and i need the alarm clock to disrupt me from my beauty sleep.
During the one week at school, the teachers are giving quite a lot of lessons, and there are heaps and heaps of homeworks to finish. I just can't believe that almost 1/2 of my add maths exercise book is already used up over such a short period of time.
This week, i attended two meetings for the school graduation magazine. Everything is progressing well and there is a lot to be done and i need to deliver them after Chinese New Year. Ahhh..Chinese New Year..just can't wait for it to arrive... It's only the first week of school and i'm already longing for another holiday break.
Ohh...i want to share a piece of good news. On Friday, i received an sms saying "Anda telah memenangi Peraduan Teka dan Menang yang diadakan di C-Mart.Sila hubungi.... ...". Yes, we won a contest held by C-Mart in Changloon. Why in Changloon? It is near my sister's varsity and she wanted to drop by C-Mart to get some groceries. C-Mart is the only supermarket in town which is reasonably well stocked. One of the items, my sis purchased is a pack of Milo drinks and the purchaser is eligible to enter the contest with any purchase of Nestle products. What we need to do is to guess a certain number of Milo tins that is kept in a big container. Initially, we were reluctant to submit our entry form as we never thought of winning but the sales girl encouraged us to join the contest. And it's just one entry form with my name submitted and we won $$$ voucher to shop in C-Mart. I am really lucky! Dad is the one who provided the figure and I filled up my particulars in the entry form. This was the first time we won a contest as we rarely enter contests. We should thank the sales girl who convinced us to give it a try! JUST DO IT!
Hope i can find more time to blog in the coming weeks.

♥ Status Quo
Returned to school today and was glad to meet up with friends after such a long break. Hurried to the hall to check the name list, just to find out what class I would be in. I am to remain in the same class as last year. S5E!! Unfortunately, huijing,brenda and aikeem were no longer in the same class as me and eeelaine. But now I have yeewuan in the same class and she would be sitting just right behind me! And guess what, this year we are having 5 eelings in class!! Haha...teachers will be having a hard time identifying us.
Well, what did we do in class today? We were introduced to our class teacher and had our class monitor elected. Then we proceeded to the hall to register for school activities.
During the school holidays, Hui Jing went to London and Barcelona and she got us some souvenirs. It was really nice of her getting me this pretty gift and I liked it... thank you, Jing!!!
By 10 am, we were allowed to leave school. Surprised that our report cards were not distributed until school reopens =0
