Alright, I'm too sick to blog in chinese....it's mentally and visually tiring. Need to be thinking of what word to use, and squint my eyes to pick out the right character from the 'han yu pin yin' list, and I've quite alot to write today. This is also one of the post that is made 'readable' for my non-chinese friends, and well, some non-chinese reading friends. lol. Currently down with a flu. The updating of Ship's Log is seriously getting on me. It's just a stupid blue book that needs to be updated with the daily occurence onboard the ship, and I've just taken like hours to finish up the one for the month of August. Now i'm 8 days behind for the month of September. This just goes on and on and is never ending...not till I ORD. sighs.

Wanted to go for a jog at the Chinese Garden this morning, it seemed a nice place with better air quality compared to that park next to some industrial site, but I overslept. Woke up about noon and remembered that I was supposed to be meeting kenneth for lunch, so I made a delay. Met him around 130pm for lunch at Bugis cause he needed to get some refund from the Watsons in Bugis Junction, he was somewhat overcharged. The cashier told us to hang around while she process the refund, so we went walking around Watsons, an hour passed and there seemed to be no sign of kenneth getting his refund. So we went to check and apparently, the cashier forgot all about it. No apologies, she just went 'oops' and started doing the refund which was done in a mere 30seconds. And i was overcharged for my M&Ms too, the price was stated as $1.30, but the digital figures '$1.60' appeared on the small screen when the barcode was scanned. I hate such marketing tactics, but couldn't care less then just pay what was demanded of me, unless it is a huge difference in price. Oh, and that pack of M&Ms and Lunch at Long John explained my bad flu. I know I gotta stop eating all these for awhile, but the more I tried not to think of them, the more I craved for them..LOL. Now I'm craving for Mooncakes. haha.

Tuition with Chanz tonight was as usual, just really worried about his coming PSLE. No matter how many questions he practised he just couldn't apply them on other similar questions. That is really fustrating, having to go through with him again and again. I didnt show my fustration, but gave him a bit of a lecture on taking the initiative to revise on his own. Boys are just playful by nature, I was far worst then him actually, I used to not even do the homeworks given by my tuition teacher. Haha.

Gotta get back to work tomorrow after 4 days of off. I'm getting abit of the blues, but since ship is still in yard, and life is good, I shouldn't be lamenting too much. Yard phase will be ending soon and the recon training after that sure gonna turn my world upside down. bah.
