Finally, after sooo many days, it's raining today! Errm, but this is not what this post is about, heee.
The last day of the term is supposed to be tomorrow but this year, instead of the usual PTMs, the school is holding Parents and Teachers gathering(with provision of light refreshments) for term I and III instead, and since I'm not taking part in this event, today shall be it, :).
Some children seemed to be celebrating their birthdays at school today and I've just witnessed a girl crying for not bringing a gift to her friend when my girl appeared, telling me that she's got a goodie bag from her classmate, :).
It's been quite a while since we've last been to Compass Point and as hubby needed us to go to the office tomorrow, I took Renee there to run some errands today. First, we headed to the OCBC bank, where I finally get to have my replacement ATM card which is sooo troublesome, given that the other banks had already posted the new cards(incl. ATM's) to me ages ago. After banking in some of Renee's coins, I casually asked how does a child get the badges and upon checking her bank book, they said, oh it's her 3rd deposit, so she's entitled to a bronze one. Hmmm, if I hadn't asked, will she even get it? Actually, basing on the number of deposits we've made, not even taking into consideration that we've always deposited more than the required S$20(we usually accumulate and deposit in hundreds) each time, she should be getting her Gold one long time ago. I guess we were 'penalised' for changing the type of account! Geez, sooo calculative and how more customer unfriendly can this bank get huh?.

There're more unpleasant stuffs about them but I shall save this post from them. However, not sure if they were trying to appease my displeassure or was it a norm, they gave Renee a pack of mighty savers' pencil + ruler and a pack of mighty savers' storybook that came with some origami artwork(they cld hv came together, not sure. No pic, 'cos ne has already took them out of the pack juz now, lolz).
Then, remembering the cake that we've forgotten to buy to try the last time when we chanced upon this new cafe(or was it a restaurant?) taking over the old Delifrance rest., we bought it today. We also met 1 of Renee's classmates there, choosing a cake for his mommy and he, thinking that the badge is given free over the counter(Renee's wearing it on her T-shirt uniform with its light blinking), he asked where he could get one, :).
This is just a normal plain one, the rest of the 'celebrative' cakes are lovelier
Again, Renee asked her Papa if she could join the school camp...
