Ikea dinner on Sat night and Serious discussion

Went to Ikea on Sat. It has been our favourite place ever since we got together?

We finally had dinner at Ikea even though we have been there for quite a few times.

Super a lot of food for the two of us

We also managed to narrow down some stuff that we want for our house when it's ready :D

This afternoon, we finally sat down and talked about emil. Our lunch was peppered with happy talks till the topic came up, and he could tell that I didn't really want to talk about it. (or think about it even)
After my afternoon nap, we chatted again and he brought up the same topic. I agree that I am very bias against her, but I really can't stand the thought of PL being bullied by emil even though he thinks that she is not. After much discussion, I agree to try to be more gracious to her. (I am only trying hor.)

He told me that he was very willing to continue on the relationship when he brought me back to his house at first, seeing how okay I was with his family. I asked him, "Would he had continue on the relationship if I hadn't gotten along with his mum at first?" His answer was vague, saying that he would intervene at that point of time. I guessed I was a little hurt by his words. I did try to get along with them, until this marriage thing came along. For some reason, their attitude towards me changed but I didn't do anything different. It felt like I am the outsider who has snatched their son/brother away. 

I didn't advocate nor influence him to hate/dislike his family. It's just that I was stating my point of view. I don't see why clothes have to be washed more than once (handwash then washing machine.) I also don't see why his mum has to ask him to do deliveries when she could have easily done them herself. (Since she is so free anyway, if not why volunteer at CCs, and more than one too?) I don't see why he has to be the one who has to do the vacuuming of floors and such all the time when there are 3 other abled bodies in the house too. Does that mean that they don't have a share in the house too? Why are the rest going out to volunteer their time at the CCs when they have things to do at home while they throw the household chores to him? It really doesn't make sense to me. These are points that irked me. I mean, I'm fine if they are not able to do all these stuff but they are not disabled people. I really thank my lucky stars that I didn't agree to stay with him after ROM. If not, either they would be in their coffins or me in IMH. (THAT SERIOUS. I KID YOU NOT.) This has been plaguing me even in my sleep. Sometimes I wake up angry.

I don't think it will become better when his sister moves out. I really don't see how it would become better. I am very skeptical about this whole arrangement of stuff. (Sorry PL, but I don't really believe in your idealist view that things will change for the better.)

Enough ranting for now.

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

Review: PA Holiday Flat Chalet

Just ended a retreat at PA holiday flat chalet. We got it for super cheap (56 bucks) for 4 days 3 nights. Excluding electricity. The first thing I thought of was that PA is always understaffed, because we had to wait for 1/2 hour to check in as the staff was not in office. Finally, when we managed to check in, we realised that there was a lot of stuff not provided for. Booking the BBQ pit costs $3.20. And there were no toilet rolls in the toilet. And we have to clean up the rooms. Like throw all the rubbish away and such. This was the first time I had been to such a chalet so I was a little shocked. We took #03-03 and everything was fine till the last day when there was a thunderstorm. The wall started leaking and formed puddles on the floor. One tip to note is that taking the ground floor is better when there are lots of movements around. Climbing the stairs multiple times a day is no joke. The bedroom of #03-03 The BBQ pit, with the playground and the flats in th...

Bad experience at Fitness First Singapore for membership transfer

Recently, as I have been busy, I wanted to transfer my membership to someone else. Naturally, I called up Fitness First to check if I can transfer the membership and they told me that as long as they are willing to pay the transfer fee of 98 bucks and the remaining months of the membership, I am able to do the transfer. It sounds alright, correct? Then, when I attempted to transfer the membership, problems started to arise. Initially, the staff at Market Street Fitness First told me that yes, I can do the transfer(and that is after calling them multiple times as none of the staff can actually confirm it. They just told me to wait for their return calls which never ever happens.) Then after that, when I called for a last time to confirm when I wanted to make my way down, they suddenly told me that because I am on a term membership, they are unable to let me transfer my membership. (And I had already made arrangements with the person that will be taking over my membership) That w...
