HOLIDAY

It has been a month already! Time seems to CRAWL by! Has it really only been a month? Only? Already, I've done SOOO many e-learning assignments, reports, projects, and presentations. So many that I can't even keep track! It is REALLY only a month? A mere 4 weeks? Oh, crap! This feels so surreal!

There's still 8 more hell weeks to go (2 months!). After which, I'll have a 1 month holiday in June before being posted out for practicum. Already, my mind is bustling over what activities to do. Something useful. Something meaningful. Something alive. Oh, gosh, I can't wait, already!



30th May: I would probably be on a hike at MacRitchie for CIP. I guess it'll be wonderful! All the father-child bonding activities that CFF has come up with, it really makes me feel full of anticipation!
1st - 14th Jun (first 2weeks of June): Though nothing's confirmed yet, but I would probably in Cambodia. Go for the injection shots, the get-to-know-each-other thingy, and whatnots. Chances are, I'll come back tanner, thinner, and with a bit more muscles.



For the remaining 2 weeks of June, I've not had any activities lined up yet. Somehow, though, I've got a gist of what I WOULD like to do.


1) exercise - Oh, crap! Ever since LASIK, I've hardly exercised! I've even aborted the habit of climbing the stairs. Have been so busy with school stuffs. "Climb the stairs? Better not waste my time. Still got alot of assignments due in these couple of weeks. Better save time and take the lift. Forget about climbing. I want to be off to dreamland before 12am.", "Climb the stairs? But I'm carrying my baby!", "Climb the stairs? I'm in heels eh..." Excuses. Gah!

2) exercise again - I can't remember when's the last time I visited Jim. And LT! It'll be a good opportunity to meet up with her too.

3) learn something new - knitting, maybe. I've always wanted to learn how to knit.

4) learn something new again - pick up a new cooking skill. Not the usual stir-fry kind of food, but something special. Maybe Korean. Or maybe rice dumplings or suan pan zi (yep, my mum knows how to make them!).

5) take the family out for a good meal - it has always been on my mind to take them out for a good meal since, technically, I'm now a working adult. As soon as BF ends, I'll do so. I guess all parents feel happy on the inside whenever their children take them out for meals out of their own paycheck.

6) eat some good sushi - I don't know if it's a good thing afterall, having learnt how to make sushi. The reason? Because nowadays, I don't see the rationale of buying sushi. What for, when I can make loads of it (and more economical, somemore) in the comfort of my own home?
But still, the craving's still there. I want to have some sumptious sushi! Probably I'll go for a buffet meal and order all the stuffs that I'm not able to make yet. Salmon! Ika! Scallops! Eels! Afterall, I am still not confident about preparing my own raw sushi. Food hygiene and cross-contamination!


7) eat something organic - I've been making efforts to take care of my health. As it has been said: "it's never too late". Nowadays, I drink only 2 cups of coffee daily (as opposed to the typical 4 or 5), and usually goes to bed by 12am. The next step? Eat healthy, pesticide-free, organic food!
I've friends who had gone organic for a couple of weeks. And they always says that they feel good. As in, really good. And that there's just something different about organic food. Now, it's my turn to try it for myself. But first, I need to search and google for the stalls selling organic food. Hmmm...
