JB Trip over the Good Friday long weekend + reviews of KSL food places and Tai Son Seafood Restaurant

Double date :D

We went back to 11@Century Hotel which was ultra near KSL, and much much cheaper than KSL resorts itself. And the facilities were so much better too!

Things were not so good at first. I quarreled with PL just the night before the trip. We had agreed that he would stay over since Friday is a PH, (so he would be washing clothes on Thur night after we went to his mum's birthday dinner.) But, the MIL interfered and told him that he has to wash another pile of clothes the next day too.

Trust me, I was so fucking pissed off that I smashed my fists on the wall when I heard that news. And I whatsapped a lot of evil and mean stuff that I shall not repeat here. Mainly about him letting me go if he values his mum that much and stuff. (Btw I am still very pissed off. Every single time I think of his mum, my blood will boil. Don't expect me to cool down so soon. Okay, maybe forever.)

He came early the next morning, but I was still super unhappy. I didn't marry him to play second fiddle to his mum. He promised me that things would change. But I seriously still think that the sky will drop from the sky before things change.

Anyway, since it was WP's birthday, I didn't want to make a huge fuss and not go in the end, though I was contemplating it.

The weekend was good. (Mainly because the evil MIL is not there. I shall therefore term her the "EMIL".

We revisited Tai Son, and the food was as good as ever (but the price is similar to eating at a restaurant in Singapore I think). I really enjoyed the crab, and the others wow-ed over the clams in Chinese wine.

Chargrill at KSL sucks to the max. And they are not cheap either! It's around the same price as eating it in Singapore. And the portion is pathetic.

The prata shop opposite 11@century hotel was damn good too. It was one of the first few places that I had an official date with PL before we got together.

Of course, we spent quite a bit of time in the hotel room too :P I miss his touch and his company>.<

We also realised that the KTV place at KSL has a membership price for RM10 for a year.
And if you happen to forget to bring your card like me, you can just give your NRIC number for them to get the membership price.

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...
