I did V-Kool for my car on Monday. The handiwork was not very good -- some bubbles. But I guess it's expectable. It should reduce UV damage to the interior since my car is always parked in the open.

The holidays are almost over. It's time to work. But I've not done anything "holiday" yet. That's the problem. All my friends are either busy or not in Singapore. There's a limit to what you can do alone -- exercise, shop, eat, watch movie... what else?

I sent my car for Tuff Kote inspection today to touch up the Tuff Kote rust-proofing and Sound Clad sound-proofing. I also added System 6 polishing. In between, I looked around Taka, Kino and Borders. Not a very productive day, and I did not enjoy myself either.

One of the 3 thorny patches downstairs I had cut up last week managed to re-grow a bit. I shall cut it up tomorrow if I have the time. I don't think it can last long without any leaves!

I did a little shopping yesterday and today. I had lunch with my church friends at Swensens Thomson Plaza, and shopped a bit on my own in the afternoon. I met them again at dinner time at Junction 8's Sakae Sushi. A waitress there recognized me as she was ex-VJC. Later, we watched the new Jack Neo betting movie.

I must enjoy my holiday more... It doesn't seem like a holiday.

I was on course at NUS yesterday and today. It was an H3 Modern Physics bridging course for JC teachers, although there were a number of secondary school teachers too.

The content was really chim! More like university Year 1 to Year 3 work! And VJC did not send any teachers! That is really not a good idea...

It's the holidays finally!

I had invigilation on Monday and lessons on Tuesday. I still have lots of work to be done actually, but I try to leave school latest by 3 pm during the holidays. I have to rest and relax. I'm on whole day course at NUS tomorrow and Friday, and I have lessons and NCC on Saturday. Not much of a holiday this week except today... And I have 8 Computer Club sessions this hols, and a camp or two...

What I want to do this hols...

1. I want to exercise more this hols as I've been quite inactive this year. I want to slim down too.
   
2. I need to do lots of personal admin, tidying up my room, etc. I normally leave these to the long holidays.
   
3. I want to shop a bit.
   
4. I want to socialize a bit with my friends. I seldom have the time to do so during term time.
   
5. I need to send my car for the final free servicing, as well as Tuff Kote and SoundClad. I also feel like changing my plates to the message type.

I did a bit of tidying and exercising today. And I did something good today. I helped to remove some thorny mimosa weeds downstairs. I remember a long time ago when mimosa was the scourge of the estate, and they declared war on the weed. So when I saw 3 patches of thorns today when I sent my paper waste for recycling, I decided to do something about it. What if some children get hurt by the thorns? So I went to my car to get my shears. (I keep it accessible so that I can cut the seat belt in an accident.) I managed to cut up the 3 patches of thorns. I did not dig them up, but I guess they won't regrow, because I cut them up well and good! Let's see if they regrow next week...

I also met my church friends for dinner today after my afternoon nap. I will be able to go for BS next week as it is the hols. I know I should go for BS even during term time, but I am a teacher and I need my rest and sleep.
