Point to note: Jacob Ballas Children's Garden do not take in adults or young adults (duh...look at the name..Children's garden) UNLESS you have a child with you.
I got up early today and meet up with Lao shi to take a look at Jacob Ballas Children's garden. To my horror, upon arrival, we were rejected entry into the garden. We were told that one can only enter WITH children.
I was like WTH...I do not want to have a wasted trip.
We told them we were pre-school teachers and we need to plan our route. Thank god, after much deliberation, they gave us 20 minutes to take a look at the place.
It was superb...for children of course. We took some pictures despite the blazing heat.
Once done, it was back home for me and classes for Lao shi.
On my way home, something interesting happened.
I was waiting for my bus when suddenly I noticed this Singaporean Chinese guy looking at me. I supposed he's waiting and looking for his bus too. After waiting for like more than 30 minutes, I decided to exclude myself from the heat and traffic and shut myself off with my psp.
Moments later, I noticed someone in front of me trying to speak to me. It was that guy...ok he looks good up close!
good-looking guy: Hi....need a lift?
me: sorry?
good-looking guy: Sorry if I startled you. You're heading to NUS right, are you?Wanna share a cab to NUS?
me: er...sorry no!
good-looking guy: Oh...you're not? You're sure?
me: Yes..very sure!
good-looking guy: Oh ok..I thought you're heading for NUS. (walks away quietly before hailing a cab)
Ok....no matter how good-looking you are, try harder on the pick-up lines mister.
In the first place, I do not have the word "smart" printed or embedded on my forehead...like NUS...hahahaha in a million years lah Ezan.
This is the second strange encounter I had with a Chinese guy. The first occurred last year and Faz was close to bashing out the guy but too bad, we never saw him again.
Now...now....the highlight of the week, jeng jeng jeng....
Manchester United was thrashed...real hard by Liverpool. Final score 4-1, letting Liverpool to taste oh-sweet-victory.
I was watching the match halfway in mom's room and Ronaldo created the opening goal through a penalty shoot-out at the 23rd minutes. 5 minutes later, Torres equalized it.
Just before half-time Gerrad make it 2-1 through a penalty shoot-out.
The match was pretty intense in the 2nd half. At the 70th minute, I decided to make my way back to my room and complete my work while catching the live commentary through soccernet.com
5 minutes later, I heard my neighbours at the opposite block shouting "GOAL..........." and the next thing I knew, Mom who is a Man-u fan started saying, "bodoh" and I knew it. Liverpool was already leading by 3 goals.
At the 85th minute, Rooney could have gotten the second goal for the devils but the shot was too wide. (I ran to my mom's room when she shouted,"goal ah,goal ah...apa seh!)
Then at the 90th minute, just before 2 minutes of extra time was given, Liverpool scored their 4th and final goal.
Beau was laughing his head off at his workplace after knowing the scores.
To hudakim....wooops, sorry!
