Best June weekend ever

Friday
This weekend was pretty exciting. Let's see starting from Friday, when I went out with my fellow MMMinterns to TGIF at Peperoni Pizza for food, then NUSS for drinks. Quite proud of the determination I had to avoid alcoholic drinks because I had to wake up early the next day, and I didn't want to go home feeling extremely drowsy and worn out. So, I had a banana shake instead! It was fun   being the game commentator for the drinking game (was it Circle of Death or something else... I don't recall) because being in control is awesome haha.


Saturday
On Saturday, I went out early in the morning to Kallang Leisure Park for NBC's movie screening / networking session. Thanks MuiSock for the opportunity to attend this event! Reached earlier so I got to talk to this nice lady called Wati who described what she does in the company and what we can expect if we embark on an internship with them. NBC is really very diverse in that it not only engages in entertainment avenues, but also informational news channels and sports programmes. However as their suggested internship period is six months, I'm afraid that I won't be able to experience it (since exchange will take up a good 4-5 months next year). ***Hoping with all my heart that I'll get into at least one of the exchange programmes that I applied for. Okay, gotta stop digressing.***

Did I mention FREE popcorn and coke??

Usually I can't, but that day I finished the whole box all by myself (Sock also).

Sock had the brilliant idea of taking a wefie with the event 'backdrop'.

After the screening of Jurassic World, which left me trembling after all the action and excitement, Sock and I decided to grab some bites at Nihon Mura Express. The food there was not as good as the one served in The Cathay outlet. Shortly after, we headed to Suntec Convention Centre to catch the Public Garden trade fair, which was in Hall 403. There were SO MANY amazing booths there, displaying/selling stuff ranging from clothes (even for babies and dogs), tote bags, accessories and shoes to greeting cards, beauty scrubs, and terrariums.



Sorry that there won't be any pictures because it was really packed to the brim with crowds + it felt much more enjoyable being in the moment instead of trying to capture everything for later (and I was afraid that some of the booth owners would find it offensive(?)). We did collect many name cards though. They will definitely come in handy for when the need to source vendors who can do customisable designs, or if we simply want to browse the goods of indie brands in Singapore. The best takeaway for me was this pair of babies.

My shiny sleek Dorothy Pink loafers *hearts*

And then at night, I went for a family dinner with my father's side relatives to celebrate an early Father's Day, for grandpa. It was nice to see everyone gathered and discussing happier things.


Sunday
Morning was tuition with my P6 girl. She's still lazy and gives me untidy handwriting when she doesn't feel like doing her work properly. I do hope that I can help her to bring her grades up by the time she takes the PSLEs though.

In the afternoon, I took a 180 to BPP and first went up to Popular to try my luck with finding Sumikko Gurashi merchandise. Unfortunately, I didn't find any. So then I went up another level and hit Daiso instead. Was pretty unamused though, because I had been in there not too long ago and there weren't any new additions. My bby suddenly appeared in a bright blue shirt and came running towards me so I was a bit stunned haha! But after recovering, I was elated to be able to see him again. Although we do talk everyday, nothing beats seeing each other in the flesh. And being in the flesh is... pretty awesome balls y'kno? :D :D :D we ended up spending the whole afternoon napping and watching Jang Bori is Here. Oh wait, before watching the Korean drama he let me watch Birdman. Ignorant me thought that it was a superhero movie. I was waiting for the action to happen but 20 minutes later, I realised that it wasn't. Soo, I kinda got scammed -.- but it's okay, because my bby was fine with switching over to the K-drama instead.


Ahh, what a wonderful weekend well-spent. Now I'm all rejuvenated and ready for the new week to begin! Bring on the workload~
