What? No Studying? Oh no ...

Salaam Alaikum.

How has your Saturday been so far? I hope it has been a fruitful one thus far. I know mine was. Alhamdulillah. I optimised the time I had.

1. APEX Mentoring

I came only to start lessons at 10am, after which I had to leave at 11am for the next event. I felt that today was my best Apex session so far. Perhaps it has never been a 'sit-down-in-smaller-groups' session with the Wayfarers. Yup, that's what they call themselves. I think they are a great bunch of hyperactive kids. Sometimes you just can't help but reminisce those kental moments of your life while in primary school. Haha. Who could forget the toothbrush and tumbler which we were often forced to use after recess. Truthfully, I enjoyed it a lot. Haha. Coming from an OCD-ian like me, I guess that's not something new. But my point is, I have always succumbed myself to such a high level of cleanliness. It's only recently I've started to put my bag on the floor (largely influenced by him of course) and couldn't be bothered about dirty toilets (try askin Izzati of our experience in Redang!) any more. Oh well, do not be surprised that you're hearing this from a Cadet Inspector. Haha. All the other CIs must be ashamed of me. Anw, I was never girly. Not even up till today. So if you find that I am, I think you've mad a big mistake. =).

Back to Apex, the kids were excited about the chalet and the outdoor adventure elements. Some even brought their own pillow la! I was impressed. Reminded me of the yellow hippo Hafiz gave me before I left for Cambodia. Haha. Brought it out for debrief during the last few nights. Mata sakit laa. Everyone was already sleepy and the BRIGHT yellow hippow plush was glaring!

I was sad when Saiyidah asked me why I wasn't attending APEX Appreciates. I didn't have a choice. I had to attend my religious class which I've skipped for the past 3 weeks.

2. LBKM Award Ceremony
I couldn't stay long. But within that 2 hours, I bumped into a lot of people I know. I was doing ushering and I was indeed surprised that I saw alot of NUS, NTU and TPJC friends whom I know. I'm happy for them. At least now I know who to call to help out for LBKM's events next year. Hehehhh *evil laughter*.

3. Majlis tahlil
Instead of having lessons, we had tahlil instead. Haiz. I would have attended APEX Appreciates had I known. It was pointless for me to stay there because I was super sleepy. But the kenduri food which followed suit was superb! That made up for not being able to attend Appreciates. But Saiyidah's question will always haunt me. Haiz. But skipping APEX also meant I could visit my grandmother. I'm really not spending enough time with her. I'm feeling the guilt already.

4. My dad and his camera 'power'
So yes, he invested his $1K plus plus on a Nikon DSLR camera. Can't recall the model though. So he brought my mum to Suntec City to shop at the PC show, and then to Esplanade to .... TAKE PHOTOS! Haha. I'm very supportive of his newfound hobby. The thing about my dad is that his interests change every few months. Thank goodness he can't drive otherwise he'll be changing his car and the spare parts every now and the. Oh, yes, so if he loses his drive in photography, the DSLR cam is gonna be mine. He already promised. =). Professional photography for me please?


So that's it for today. I'm super sleepy and shagged. Long day indeed. Sorry today's post is nothing but about myself. How selfish of me. But at least you will learn more about me. Hmm.

Wassalaam. Nyonya wants to sleep liao. =)
