summer time im waiting

if only writing projects and essays were as easy as writing a blog entry.

life has been much of a downer recently with so many darn projects to finish. i've totally no time to socialise, no time for everything but bury myself in the hoard of deadlines. raaaaaaaaaarr

no time for shopping, luck goodness someone invented blogshops, shopping in the comfort of your own home. hehe have been buying buying buying and feeling good whenever i see those brown packages arrived and placed on my bed. hehe becoming a shopaholic after so many months of t-shirts & jeans in Germany. thanks to cali, im like so hooked on cozy cot blogshop forum. when launching?! hehe

anyway quoted from somewhere

stealing someone's boyfriend is a cardinal sin.

but when the stealing gets stolen,

you know that karma's a bitch.

And that bitch deserves it.

up to your own intepretation, interesting verse.

food for the soul

chinese restaurant in Resort World Hotel called Chinois under Tung Lok Grp of Restaurants. had a hearty meal over there on Saturday. waiting time was about 1hr or so. mom ordered $60per person set menu. Ambience was great, non like a chinese restaurant. the receptionist was ang moh! haha can u believe it! =P (mountain tortoise) 

first dish: Mango salad prawn.

one person 2 prawns that's all u get. it was a fine dining experience i must say.

the soup tasted really weird. not to my liking at all. mommy say nice daddy say eeyer. haha there's a smell of pork though it was actually chicken in the soup.

scallop with asparagus. one each too. haha the scallop was awesome, really fresh and nicely cooked. wasnt salty at all though from the looks of it, i tot it was

steamed grouper, i think the fish was so-so but i simply love the dou gan at the bottom! hehe turning vegetarian. =)

this dish was LOVE. so much for being a 'vegetarian' in the making huh. pork loin in bbq sauce. yummy hehe i guess this is the best pork i've eaten, it was soft and chewy though there isnt any fats on it.

vegetable was the usual u get everywhere else. maybe a little scallop and fish maw added into it, nothing special

okay again i think this is the best mee sua ever tasted. better than lobster mee sua. a simple crab meat & roe mee sua was delicious, by looking at it and thinking about it makes me salivate. 5 ***** for this one chef!

daddy's comment, "huh so small ah?" good things come in small packages, chinese herbal jelly with barley and honey, i would say it was a simple dessert nothing too extravagant or creative.

overall i rate 4 stars for food and 3 for the service.

 improvements on waiting time please.

bing bang bam

my very first car crash! omg happened along lornie road towards farrer road. it happened in the morning during rush hour. i had to change into the centre lane because there were road works at the side of the road. so as i slowly edged into the lane, the car in front of me suddenly stopped and of course i had to hit the breaks too. but the car behind me continued on without hitting the breaks and BAM goes my car and the one in front of me and next car in front. i was so scared i didnt dare get down from my car, 2 sides of the roads were still filled with cars. the uncle in front of me got out and asked us to move to the side and just as we were doing that the last car who caused the whole accident sped off. WTH yes im involved in a hit and run accident.

fortunately i only suffered a bruised knee and my car wasnt in a bad shape, just a misalignment. but the Altis in front of me chui. hint guys Altis bad quality. No buy. the first person i called was daddy and then mommy and then darling. by the time i called him i was already crying, the uncle was so stunned to see me crying =X but yeah well it's a learning experience like what my uncles said. thankfully im not seriously hurt, just a little shaken.

because it was a hit and run, i had to report this incident to the police who will sub it to the traffic police division to find that black car owner. i went to the police after valuation lecture with my parents and kok, spent hell a lot of time there recording the incident, and then to the insurance company. i had to recount the entire story upteen times to my parents and police and draw boxes for insurance. gosh it was hell of a day for me.

if it wasnt for supportive dad and mom, i guess i'll be really traumatise over the whole incident, not only did they not scold me (okay mommy did a little) but they just said it's okay it'll happen at least once to every new driver. and not forgeting my bf :) who stayed with me throughout the day, making sure im alright, driving me around, from sch back home and to insurance company although he had tonnes of project to do that day. i love my bf :)

oh you make me smile.

PS: anybody travelled along lornie road towards farrer at around 8.40am who happen to see a black car which is damaged at the front please inform meeeee! i want my justice

my heart beats for you

3months on a face to face level but 6 on a virtual level heeeeeeeeeeeee

on our very special day, he surprised me by calling at 12am 160310. though he was already sleeping. =) the next morning we went for Ya Kun Kaya @ NUS before i have my project meeting. just a simple breakfast with someone u love feels so good =).

the day carried on with the usual lects and tut. i couldnt wait to be done with those and meet him for dinnerrr. he appeared at the door window during envt tut to "surprise" me, and yes i smiled like an idiot =) so sweet of him to get my donuts to satiate my hunger temporarily.

dinner was at Ma Maison @ Central. recommanded by hungrygowhere for romance and first date. we had Clam Chowder, Soba Salad and Paella. but of course nothing can beat the original Paella in Barcelona. i guess the atmosphere was good la but the food was so-so for the price.

and i pulled out a present for him, haha all thanks to caderam and nana, kok already knew i bought him a coin pouch for our 3rd month. =P boooooo so i decided to SMOKE him hehehe, got a wrapped present from nana, booklight which is a free gift from PFM, and he gave me a shock yet disappointed looook when he opened it. but still did not believe i didnt buy a coin pouch. he pulled my bag towards his side while distracting me and pulled out the wrapped braun buffel box which i intended to give him during dessert. bleeeeh!

took a walk along the singapore river and decided we should go somewhere for a quiet evening, and so he decided mt faber. in the car he suddenly said, " eh i left some sweets in the dashboard, can help me take?" i looked at him and laugh because i can read his face! haha anticipated something to be in there. hehehe yes and im right! =P u arent good at surprises too =P hehe and he knows what i need and got me a iphone car charger so i wont have anymore battery flat days =))))) how thoughtful

but well we didnt have any dessert, headed to Faber point instead and the view was awesome, nv knew there's such a place in Singapore. and he finally got to open his present from me! hehe im glad u liked it =)

Faber Point overlooked Resort world in Sentosa which happen to be setting off fireworks while we were there. what a way to end the night=) love u darling

Family is where the heart lies

15th of March is always a happy day for me and my family. Happy birthday Paaaaaaaaaa! =) shant disclose his age here because he is always so shy about that. haha the older he gets the younger he looks. the greatest man/pa in the world. i love him so dearly although at time i seem to be a little rebellious. because this year he has advance to a special age group, he decided that he doesnt want any fanfare, just a simple dinner with the family makes him a happy man.

picked kok up from NUS after he is done with his work at open house and headed to Liang Kee at havelock rd and had a hearty meal with everyone. there were so much food, and mommy still added another plate of noodles. i guess pple tend to eat more when they are happy. indeed paaaa was. saying soo many things which i didnt expect him to say, all smiles for the birthday man yesterday night.

things arent as complicated as u make it out to be

birthdays after birthdays, March is always full of them. Zj, Bp, Marc and Dad's. despite the whole eat shit and die incident, i'm pretty much contented with how things are going this month.

six medals in the 1st 2 weeks of March came as a surprise. after leaving the bowling circle for so darn long, i decided maybe it's time to return, it's my last year afterall. so i started with the sde bowling tourny which, i am not very proud of. =P performance wasnt that great anyway. so 3 was from here.

next was the BRE walk which was such a last minute thing. got pulled in by cad and bp the day before the walk. organised by BEMs with the aim of socialising students and profs. and kok n i, together with bp were grouped with prof yu. the walk became a run, with prof yu taking the lead while the 3 of us slogged our way to the finishing line, at the end we emerged as champions. 

 

last one happened last saturday, in which i spent almost 12 hours in the bowling centre with my bowling pals from NUS. an event organised by NTU, the price was overcharged i feel, $50 bucks and eventually i didnt even manage to cover the cost. $5 short. again, im half way  between being contented and disappointed with my performance. contented because, i think i still have it in me, just that i need more training. disaapointed because, i expect more from myself, result of complacency, not attending trainings. but oh well, though fight for a bronze after a disappointing 127 in the opening game.

okay and enough of 'bragging'. boon's birthday was i guess the funniest of all. we celebrated at fish & co. after the sde bowling tourny, where he had an extreme bike sport performed on him and his all time favourite cheers to his birthday by the fish & co crew in west coast plaza. he was even sporting enough to stand on a chair outside the restaurant in public. happy birthday boon.

the next social event, all thanks to eug lee was the gala premier of the Kidnapper, a local film by Kevin Tong starring Christopher Lee and Phyllis Quek. So kok and me, kelly and eug lee attended the movie at Vivo city, and we managed to sit in the cinema where the main cast were at and many other local celebrities were sitted at the back of us. We were like the 4 under dressed people in the cinema, most were in dresses and heels. 

 Personally i feel the movie is pretty good as compared to the other Singaproe movies i've watched. Not a funny comedy movie like those of Jack Neos. There were lots of gore and blood in the movie, not for a faint hearted unless u're watching with your boyfriend, kok my refuge. shant be a spoiler for those who havent watch it, so i shall not reveal the storyline. Do watch it! i think it's wortht it.

crossing the line

im gonna make this an open thing, you may like it, you may not. Some of you may think we're no different, putting people down on blogs. but seriously this time round, u've really crossed the line. i've closed one eye on the things you've been doing and you turned around again and bite me.

Everyone in the group are trying to make things better between us, but u're certainly not helping at all. Spare a thought for others before u get worked up and emotional over senseless stuff.

would the circumstances be different if he wasnt in that group? I mean to me this is just a smal matter and after talking it out with the rest I guess we all share the same sentiment. Win win situation or to your own beneficial emotional needs?

u've totally have no right to pick on others when u yourself disappear from meetings and interviews. why? because i'm there? i hope that's not the reason.

u said im avoiding u, but i guess everyone knows the contradiction that exist in your words. initially i encouraged him to say hi, but looking at everything u've done. i guess it's not necessary.

from the start u dont even treat me as a friend, u 2 faced bitch. why should i even be so nice to accomodate to your every actions.

Just get over it and grow up.
You are no longer a teen

germany, u're missed

just completed a 2500 words essay on ageing population in singapore. has been a real traumatising assignment i must say. nv knew i could write so much on my own *phew glad its over. but this is just the start, a warm up for much dreaded dissertation.

back to reading on fertility issues in singapore. ahhh this module is sucking the life out of me.

craving the life i had back in Germany where life is much peaceful. sipping wine by the river, taking bike trips around town, snapping pictures of lovely vineyards, talking crap with housemates, planning trips, taking the train up and down to the city and other parts of the world. sigh i love germany.

Swine filled

the next day, 1st of March, Swine faced huang's 24th Birthday! haha bought him a cake from Hans early in the morning because class was at 9am. only 24 cake shop i can think off plus kelly's hand made swine face.

only went for zj's birthday dinner at wednesday because he was simply too busy with his other friends to spare some time for us =P. Buffet at tung lok group restaurant Zhou's Kitchen at Jurong Pt which instead of the ala carte tung lok buffet, have the usual buffet spread. the food was not bad, best part of it was, different types of food are served continously, so u better act fast if u like the pig trotter because once it's out, they'll change a new dish. too bad the buffet period is gonna be up on the 16th of March, go try it! combined with bp's birthday, cad made an impromptu birthday cake for the 2 boys.
