I blame its lack on excessive work. But nevertheless, once a week is better than none at all.

31 Aug.
My first ever Teacher's Day as a Teacher. And I missed it. Went off with the NSC Team over to IBN and got information on their project round. By the time I returned and finished with discussion it was already well into the afternoon around 4pm. - Didn't even have time to return to my primary school to take a look.

1 Sep.
Went down to collect my completed Visa. And it was surprisingly smooth. After so many frustrating incidents on the issue, it really makes me feel so happy just to receive it so smoothly.

Moved on back to CCK and teaching Elicia for her Physics MCQ. Stopped by the library to borrow some books for extra reading on Mathematics. I really need to buck up, not much time left for preparation, especially reading up.

4 Sep.
Nothing much really, the morning started out as per the previous 2 days, teaching in school, but ended early after 2 lessons as had to reach the National Library Board for a PSC Briefing. That was followed by returning to BP with a session with the NSC Team after lunch with the PSC Scholars. The session was then followed by a meeting with my cousin and getting to Pasir Ris for a chalet with my cousins and his friend celebrating his 21st birthday.

Stayed through the night and left the next day for a meeting with James, Vanessa, Isabel and Alan.

5 Sep.
I have to admit. When meeting the 4 of them, I was probably already half brain dead. And I would say, probably more than that. Met them at The Tea Party at Six Avenue Center along the t-junction of Bukit Timah Road and Sixth Avenue. I liked the place walking into it. Great ambiance, good coffee as well. Had a rich taste in their beans accentuated by the dark roast. Really rather good Cappuccino.

Anyways, met up with Isabel and Alan first upstairs, and James and Vanessa arrived in a short while. They got quite a lot of pots of tea to try, and I really cannot recall the most of them. Also got some Scones, Pizzas, Sausages and Pasta. All rather good.

But in the end, I guess the best thing about it all was the company. It was actually the first time that I've met Alan, and probably it goes for James and Vanessa as well. It was rather funny how Isabel has been asking me the past few days on what I thought of him and such. Well, nothing really much, but I can see the two of them really pulling off the LDR since Alan is going to University College London this year as well.

Went back, and also received the letter for my accommodation for Imperial. Despite having picked 5 single rooms as my choices for accommodation, I still ended up receiving a Twin Room at Holbein. Been told my seniors that its not good as its neither here nor there. Its not superbly good like Southside for 20 more pounds a week, nor as cheap as Fisher 20 less pounds a week. Ah, the Grass on the other side mentality.

There was probably anything much I can do about it. Accepted the offer, and just hoping my roommate would be a nice guy.

6 Sep.
Went down for bridge for the week. Came back, ate with family.

.....

I should put up a list on the things that I still have left undone for Imperial.
1. Luggage Bag.
2. A sweater, about 5-10 Degree kinds.
3. Bank Account.
4. Phone Service.
5. Stationaries.
6. Rice Cooker.
7. Reading up on the Subject.
8. A new Wallet.
9. Spectacles.
10. Headphones.

That's it for now.
