New Bicycle


Aleoca Crossbreed X.5 700C 21 Speed Hybrid Bike, from Carrefour (Plaza Singapura).

Raison d'ĂȘtre: occasional commute from home to work and back so I have one more way to incorporate exercise into my daily routine.

Customer Service

For the first time in my life, the supermarket cashier lady (at NTUC) thanked me when I said I didn't want a plastic bag! Thanks to the good efforts of BYOB day.

I was pleasantly surprised that the guy from Subway at Jurong Point remembered that I liked my footlong sub packed in two halves. And I just found out that the Garden Patty has cheese in it... Is cheese grown in a garden?!

Pioneer

I've been posted to Pioneer Junior College (PJC).

They're building Pioneer MRT station outside my block, but unfortunately, it's not near to PJC, which is in the Choa Chu Kang area, near MINDEF.

This is my last week at Juying Secondary...

Looks like I won't be able to play tennis again this week... on Thursday they want to go to SOFRA for dinner, as a get-together before we go our separate ways after Practicum.

Sunday morning tennis is also put on hold because Ni is overseas... All this when I'm itching to play because I just bought new Wilson Pro Overgrips (Yellow), and Prince wristbands.

My current addiction: Mitsuba Peanut Crackers (ISO PEA!)

Debian "lenny"

Debian GNU/Linux version 4.0r0, codenamed "etch", was released on April 8th, 2007. I am now switching over to the "testing" distribution codenamed "lenny".

It's been a rather long time since I last posted. In short, my Teaching Practicum in Juying Secondary is drawing to a close. I have one more week in the school, and they are having their mid year examinations, so no classes to teach, only invigilation. Will be going back to NIE after that, and get my final school posting, to begin teaching as a full-time teacher from the start of Term 3.
