School Holiday Ice Skating Camp at The Rink, Jcube

During my one week long leave, I signed up for a 4 days intensive School Holiday ice skating camp.

The total fee paid was $171.20 inclusive of skates rental and lessons. The package comes with a 4 2-hours open session immediately after the 45 mins lesson each day.

Registration for the camp is easily done online. However, not much information was given so I was fumbling around on the first day I was supposed to start lessons.

Take note:
Firstly, head towards the security guard who will put a band around your wrists and mark your attendance. This piece of paper will also inform you who your instructor is.

Secondly,proceed to the skates counter and exchange for the skates! Do not be afraid to choose a size smaller if you think that the skates are even remotely loose. Trust me, I got my usual size and I nearly tripped on the ice because somehow, my feet shrunk when I was skating on the ice.

Thirdly, you have to head over to the ice skating rink near the entrance gate. The instructors will be waiting for you there. Ask! My teacher was Suvian Chua who is a national speed skater. She is very pretty by the way :D

Lastly, follow the instructor's instructions and have a fun time on the ice!!

They will give you something like this after the first lesson:

AND FINALLY~~ I PASSED!~~


But I've got to say that being an adult in a mostly kid's class is kind of stressful as they tend to pick the skills up faster. Nevertheless, it was fun and it's a good way to lose weight :)

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: 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: 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] My Thai learning experience with TSL Chiang Mai (Thai 1)

I first got to hear about TSL Chiang Mai on IG, where I am part of the studygram community. Yes yes, call me weird, but I like to experience and learn new things, especially languages. Due to COVID, they had moved the classes to 2 options; hybrid and online class. The most enticing part was the price; 2500 baht for a month's worth of lessons, 3 times a week. This translates to about SGD102, which is very affordable! I gathered a few of my friends to attend the trial class and they were quite interested. BUT, when they heard about the frequency of the lessons, they all backed off, citing commitment issues. I pondered for a while, and when I had to clear my time off and leave to start my new job, I decided to take the plunge and try out their hybrid morning class. Thai 1 hybrid class Class intro:  The lessons were taught by Teacher Cindy, and I was the only one who is stationed out of Chiang Mai.  Lesson format: The lessons focused very much on speaking and the handouts that the...

Sh'bam Class by Pao Pao at Westgate Fitness First

Last week, I went to Sh'bam class with Constance instructed by Pao Pao. I really enjoyed myself! Pao Pao gave very good and concise instructions to the extent that I actually managed to catch the moves even though I am a very uncoordinated person! However, take note that Westgate classes are always so full of people that you have to queue up around 40mins ahead of class, which sucks when you have to rush from work. PL kept asking me
