Went back to school in the morning... The main objective was to meet up with teacher cuz I hadn't had the chance to do that since I started working... And the last time we met was when she made the call to office to set up an interview for me with my boss. Owe it to her, so... thought of buying her breakfast. Was asked to join in for the tropical workshop crit on Saturday by my boss... and I thought that since I can't meet teacher on wkdays cuz of work, and since she don't usually go back on wkends, it was a wonderful opportunity.

The tropical workshop was quite interesting lah, and since it was a week-long can't expect a very well resolved proposal. So we went through the ideas and concepts. As usual there was a range, some were really very thought provoking, and some were, well... you can tell from the presenter that they themselves aren't really interested.

I left after helping teacher pack up the lunch, which she had catered for, buffet style, for 100 people...? But only half the food was eaten so must pack them up in styrofoam boxes to minimize wastage. All the students and other tutors went back to student lounge area for part-II of the crit, which they ought to lah... leaving behind TSL, WYC and myself to do the packing up. Ha... It was then that I managed to talk with her cuz breakfast was quite a hurry too. All things fine, busy as usual. We can only hope Mrs Chan recovers fully and swiftly, but like teacher says, "She's a fighter, it's only a matter of time."

After that went back to Chet's place to find Ney and Chet waiting to go out, which we did lah... Went to CCK MRT and wanted to catch the half-hourly shuttle to Qian Hu Fish Farm, but unfortunately we missed the 4pm one. So we went to eat some chilled beancurd at a hawker. We boarded the bus and arrived at Qian Hu at 1640hrs. Wanted to go there for the fish therapy (small fishes nibbling at your dead skin on ur feet!) and it was when I wanted to pay (advance payment before the therapy) at the counter that I realized that...

MY WALLET IS MISSING!!!

So... Chet got a refund and we sulked and waited for the Qian Hu shuttle to return to the farm. Searched the bus, but no luck. Took the shuttle back to CCK MRT, tried the Bus Interchange office but no luck. Then finally went back to where we had chilled beancurd...

"Did anyone happen to pick up a wallet?"

"Yes! Auntie picked it up just now. When did you drop it? How to be sure it is yours? What is your IC number?"

Blah blah blah...

"You're lucky auntie picked it up if not dunno if you can get it back ah~~~ Why your IC photo is a ginnah? Not updated? Next time be careful ah? And must buy alot of kopi and drinks from auntie okay?"

And with that, alot of thank-yous and feeling much relieved, we left CCK MRT... What a wasted trip. Headed to Ney's at Yishun, bought a chin-up bar (those you fit at the door frame). Had 煮炒 at blk 925, then headed home...

Sigh... ICT next wk really makes me very sianz...............................
