friday night dates

today was the last day of school and well, while i would miss the kids, it was kind of liberating to know that i would be on the other end of the homework spectrum. so i left school earlier to go for the teacher compass ceremony. it's supposed to represent my compass in teaching to "lead, care & inspire". there was a speech by one of the awardees about his experience from nie to teacher and it was food for thought. he was a Christian and it really got me thinking about whether teaching is my calling and what exactly it entails. today definitely marks the start of a journey for me.

so andrew and i went to burger shack then island creamery for dessert. its a good thing those two places are some distance apart! we definitely needed the walk, could've been longer tho. (: i was thinking about this post i saw earlier today about being a tourist and decided to take lots of pictures.






toppings!

sprinkle cones!

mudpie

nutella & pulat hitam (his favourite & mine)

looking at all the chalk features i'm kinda reminded of this photo i saw the other day in the new ikea magazine - the door of the children's bedroom in chalkboard paint. i asked andrew and he's okay with it. we are so gonna be the coolest parents next time cos we'll let the kids draw on the door. haha.
