A little something something one: Kindergarden Spelling. (ASS 1)

I have to admit memories are really failing me nowadays, I really don't want to forget important memories when I get older. Its bad that I don't keep a diary at all. So I've decided to write whatever fond memories that pop in my head whenever and wherever I am. I will title the post as "A little something something." short form, "ASS". Oh god I am so hilarious tee hee tee hee "ASS", on a side note I might be a child hidden in a grown man's body. So without further ado, the first "ASS"! *I did smile a little when I typed that.

My family wasn't an English speaking family which is quite obvious with my atrocious grammar and vocab errors. So when I was in the kindergarten, its really hard for me to understand what was going on. In simple, I don't understand a damn word the teacher was talking and she wasn't those kind of teacher with a warm smile and a sort of glow surrounds her. No, she was a chubby lady with a mean looking face, I bet she can lit a fire just by staring. Everyone was afraid of her.

After the first week, the teacher wrote a bunch of words on the board and ask us to copy down. I tried my best to copy but I was too slow and she erased it and move on to the next subject. Those words are for spelling and I got zero for it the next day. When I return home, my grandpa saw it and questioned why I got zero. I told him I copied too slow and I didn't know that was for spelling. So my grandpa confronted the teacher and she realise my difficulties then she paid much more attention to me (meh). Well thanks to grandpa I finally understand what is going on and I always got myself full marks in spelling in kindergarten. ( I sort of cried when this one time I got 80 marks, I am a wimpy kid. )

Thank you ah gong. I miss you.

------------------------------------------------------------

Derek invited us to join this egg painting competition in downtown east, its free anyway so we have nothing to lose ( except our pride ).

As expected the place was pack full of children! Ha! We are so going to win this competition.

Derek loves free stuff.

So we were given each a box of oil based paint and we can take them home after the competition. Gabriel, Lilian shared one box and Derek and me shared another box so we each have one unopened box. ( We are smart! )

Photobucket
Free paint and fake eggs!

The objective was to paint 3 eggs, one following the example egg on each table then paint the other two with the theme of family and downtown east. We were so darn competitive, we took the longest time to paint the first egg and its not even going to be judged! Only one egg from each table will be submitted to judge, if the egg won the table will win prizes. We were so dumb to be concentrating on our first egg! We rushed through our second egg and give up on our third egg. Derek's egg were chosen to submit. So did we win? Drum roll please.... no! We didn't win any prize! I tell you the competition was rigged! The winners have downtown east logo painted on it! Just like there are serial numbers on our voting slip. (If you get this joke tell me you get it in the comments =X)

My eggs.

It was fun while it lasted. After the competition, we went to escape theme park. Derek said NTUC is going to tear down the place and build more chalets, the entrance is free now and you can pay and take the rides you like.

Photobucket
Barren.

OMG! Its so empty even though its on a Sunday! Very sad! The last time I went when I was like 16 years old, its the most hip place! Now its like ghost town!

Photobucket
Rundown!

If you want to have the nostalgic feeling please go and visit it before it gets tear down. Its free entrance anyway.

We had our dinner at Justacia and ordered lots of chiwanmushi, it cost 1 dollar each if you order a set meal.

Photobucket
Nom nom nom..

And that pretty much ends our day in downtown east.

PS: The MC during the competition kept using words pun like "egg-xiting, egg-travaganza and egg-cellent" woah really hear liao your ears can bleed.
