|*28th Feb'08*|

This week is filled with activities!

I had my final presentation on tuesday, and I felt that I have done pretty well, including the question and answer. =X

Next up was this morning, I had an informal interview with the Assistant Director of SBG. Basically to know my preferences and interest in Horticulture and work. =X He told me a lot about what is expected and my jobscope. Anywayz, did fine I guess. Shall wait for HR's directions in these two weeks.

To end off this week, I'm going on a cycling trip this weekend to pengerang. Will be enjoying the beach and stay in Desaru chalet. Hehs. Hope to burn off as many calories as possible. LOLz!

Kite Flying Day!

Went to help out in the S'pore Kite Festival In Punggol on Sunday. We went to have brunch and began to set up the kites. The event was from 2pm-6pm. We were busy doing work before we got to have fun after 3pm. It is my first time see so many different types of kites in the same field. There were a few international kite flyers around too. Their kites are huge! I got to help set up some which is just so complicated. Well, at least I managed to learn a few things. Those kites there are not the conventional kites. They are Big kites, train kites, stunt kites and parashoot kites. The big kites are set up and tied onto the pegs for display. The wind was consistent throughout the day and the weather was good.

Most exciting part was I got to try flying two of those kites! I tried to fly the parashoot kite first and then moved on to the stunt kite. Both are controlled in the same way. The kite kept dropping in the beginning, coz I don't know how to control it. Kinda Frustrating, but then once I got the hang of it everything just falls into place.=D The stunt kite is lighter, and can do more tricks, but I didn't manage to do a spin properly..=\ Well, at least I can fly the kite myself and control the kite. Yaay!

Kite flying seems to be contagious, the turn out went up to about a 1000 people. Members of the public joined in too and the kites were sold out.

Flew kites for about 2-3hrs. By the end of the day, I got sun burnt.=\ Totally didn't expect that. It seems to be a little one sided too......= Ooh well, I had Fun!!

There are kites everywhere in this field

I spent my Valentine's Day in Sentosa! Actually I went for the Sentosa Flowers 2008. =D First time attending the show, it was ok to me. Ahh.. so sweet of you to come out early just to bring me there. Lucky never get into trouble. tsk tsk. =p Anyway, saw 3 of my classmates working there again this year, caught up with 1 of them on our current job status. =X Took picture with her, but I realise I'm not sure what her phone number is... =\ Managed to asked her to help my friend and I take a picture, so shy la..=X

Halfway through the flower exhibition, we saw LKY, we were about to take picture with the rat mascot, when someone suddenly asked us to move to one side. The staff actually told me I should take picture of LKY instead. I was just puzzled. We stepped onto the curb and we saw what's going on. haha.. Lucky day indeed. After going through the exhibition, we went to play the Luge and went for a skyride. Wheee!! =D

Full of Fun, Love and Joy! Happy Valentine's Day! =)

|*CNY*|

Like my Chinese New Year since young, I will travel to my grandma house in Gemas, Negri Sembilan, Malaysia. I got to spent 1 day more this year. This year is just GREAT! I got to see EVERYONE!!! Especially my xiao gu. =D Usually my family will leave on the 2nd day of CNY and her family returns on the 3rd day, but coz we extended our stay, we met everyone! ALL my relatives and cousins. hehs. The young ones are just adorable and they really grow up fast. Took quite a number of pictures with some of them too. Got to play with them also.. haha.. I'm a big sister..=X Then again, I slept the most this year too, relax ma.. played too must in the city. LOLz. It's 100% relaxation in a kampong for 4 days. =D Ohh.. and now the express train from S'pore to KL stops in Gemas in between, because it is an interchange for trains going north-east and north-west(i think). Yaay! means next time I can take the train there..=D
