Meow Meow

Ah Sir and 2nd Aunt dropped by to visit Ah Ma, because she was mourning over the death of Xiao Hei. We had a delicious tze char dinner at a nearby coffeeshop, where cheeky 2nd Aunt narrated horror stories about killing snakeheads in wet markets and I was instantaneously turned off from the sweet and sour fish which was (now) once one of my favourites.

After dinner, we lazed around at Ah Ma's house where Ah Sir and I kept disturbing an obese Meow Meow who wanted to take a nap on top of the sofa's backing, of all places. So we tried to prod and tickle it, so that it would lose its balance and fall.

Although it looked wider than the sofa's backing, surprisingly, it managed to remain steady. Of course, it did not look too happy, occasionally flashing its blunt claws. Meow Meow also has a tendency to catch unsuspecting hands by surprise - touch it too much and it will leave unsightly puncture marks and smelly drool. It has been known to bite innocent neighbours for no apparent reason.

Ah Ma is left with this psychotic cat. Xiao Hei will be dearly missed.

Night Out with Dappy and Peiying

Had an enjoyable night with Dappy and Peiying at Beer Belly, my preferred chillout spot but Dappy was getting increasingly irritated with that place. When we entered, the waitress helpfully informed us that the guys who pestered us the previous time we came had asked her to contact them if we turned up again. We just laughed it off, but unexpectedly, they turned up within 10 minutes! We were quick to cast an accusing glance at the waitress, but she was quicker to protest that if she had called them, they could not have arrived that fast. So there, we spent another interrupted night with them ...

Shots took before we were pestered again

Dappy swore never to come to Beer Belly again, what a bummer!

At Induction Course

Attended a compulsory course for beginning teachers on classroom management at NTU one-north, and was excited to do so because firstly, it was a legitimate excuse to miss school, but more importantly, I had the chance to meet up with Dappy, Peiying and my Practicum mates like Ai Kit, Xiaofen and Gavin!

For the whole day, we were all cooped up in the cold seminar room and bombarded with tiresome theories and tips on managing classroom behavior. However, rather than listening, we (Ivan, Dappy, Peiying and I) channelled our boredom onto moulding blue-tack into various shapes. Ivan liked to create sea creatures (and my, do they look so real!) and while the three of us just created random things. Suddenly, I felt a wave of nostalgia because this was so much like those days back in NIE ... ...

From handphone to heels, from beer mug to shark, and a McDee's value meal

The course instructor was speechless when she saw our creations, and I could understand very well how she felt towards students who do not pay attention in class. But well, just give us a break.

I guess the most fun part about attending such courses is reuniting with those dearly-missed NIE buddies. Who cares about the content?
