the past week have been pretty tiring for me for some reason. the drilling coming from the house beside has been getting on my nerves so much so i wanna move out for the time being and mommy say find a room in school. haha and i think i've already missed the window period for pgp?

oh well. got to live with this misery. blehh 8am and i'm up already. tsk damn those renovation, i wonder why they have to drill all day long, everyday. it's not like their house is made of holes. raaaaaaah i wanna throw a hammmer to stop the noise. =(

last week was filled with food, food and more food. gosh. i think my tummy is gonna burst from all those food i've been consuming and also die of too much nutrition and rich food. becos daddy is very involve in 7 month dinners and ceremonies, we're always invited to dinners and i must say i'm quite sick of the food! got to draw the line and yesterday kok n i definitely did.

this was taken 2 weeks ago during our 8th, look at the amount of food on the table! could feed an army i suppose. ever since cad n kelly came back we've been going for so much local food every now n then, we're growing sideways. dim sum is always the best form of gathering :) all happy n smiles at yum cha chinatown. our biggest lycans turn out so far! even ang was there for dimsum and because everyone was present eug lee was pulled to join us when he had to rush his dissertation =PP

following that, i had Ippudo @ mandarin gallery on friday for chantel's birthday. best ramen in town but i was simply too full to have a bowl to myself. haha only had a few mouthfuls, kok tried hard ramen and i told him it tasted like wanton mee. belittle the infamous ramen. but it was definitely better than the one i had in Tampopo the night b4 with the girls. too bad i didnt get a bowl in ippudo cos ben took the bill =P only had a pot of green tea to myself. booooo

and then to fruit paradise for the cake cutting. cakes or shall i say giant pies/fruit tart looked so pretty, i've walked pass this cafe a couple of times in city hall and vivo but havent got a chance to try them. they defnitely looked too good to be eaten. so much so i couldnt even tell the fake plastic display to the real one. yes that's how good it looked =P. but the taste was disappointing. it's like i've paid 8 bucks for a whole load of cream! ewwwwww. i tried mount blanc and the chestnut swirl on top was tasteless not to mention the custard bottoms.

and enough about food. moving on to new things in life. ta da! iphone4! yipppeeeedo.. all thanks to daddy, "want to buy what? iphone 4 ah? ok let's go" i've got the best dad in the whole world or what?! =)))) got to the shop but they were all "SOLD OUT" hah, dad's "friend" made a few calls and ta da iphone4 resting on my hands. iphone 4 is of course better than my current chui iphone 3g. it's faster, longer battery life and has multi tasking features. plus i've ordered my free bumper from apple and it'll be shipped here is 3 weeks time. haha long? freee mah!

and i've blinged up my fat fat Honda on my steering wheel with the bling bling i bought from Daiso $2 only. and i've used it on my iphone casing as well and my canon g10. fat fat finally fitted with pink crystals =)) mommy say it's very ah lian, but i like can already la! haha =PP

and the ASOS parcel arrived! hehe and this time it's HUMONGOUS! becos of wei jie's shoes and wayne's bags, i only ordered 2 items which only took up 1/10th of the space. hah they still think i bought a lot. i asked my maid how did the postman deliver such a big package, she said no motorbike, VAN! woahhhhhh haha 

and this was what i got and they were on sale! hehe cheap cheap buys la. the kulottes which look very nice on this lanky model and kinda look weird on me ooops =XX i need longer slimmer legs! and this spag top which was inspired my chanel hehe!

blessed me :)

this year's birthday, unlike less year, was quieter and peaceful. at least i could remember what happened at night. haha i slept it off =X

Birthdays

This year's birthday dinner for cousin Joanne was at Hanabi @ king's centre. yummy japanese buffet dinner with awesome sashimi. the one i love most is the chizu chawanmushi! haha a layer of cheese on top of the usual boring chawanmushi yummmm

check out her sushi birthday cake complementary from the the chef. haha talk about creativity!

hehe

the final lap

sch started and gosh, time passes really fast in uni. Year 4, the big 4. first day of sch started on the 10th of Aug after national day, Singapore Studies and we're building a nation. i have a bad hunch about this mod, one thing it seems damn difficult! and mr huang could still say this the night before the lect " how difficult can it be", we were more or less overwhelmed by the lect on tues. hah history...... close book exam came as a shocker to some of us.

and yeaps they are back! kelly, eug, cad and nana are back from the West. and right after lect we scooted down to bedok 85 for ba chor mee, or lua and char kway teow and yummy durian! haha durian season is like the best time of the year :))

over the long weekend part 2

and so national day is so awesome because we managed to squeeze through the crowd at marina bay sands and got 2 front row seats by the singapore river where the national day fireworks were set.

first national day with bf :)

while waiting 2 hrs for the show to start, i whipped out my camera and started taking pictures of the beautiful singapore skyline.

my favourite picture of the evening. haha a little amateur though =X

and finally after 2 hours, the fireworks finally shoot up into the night sky, with all cameras ready to shoot, i've put mine in multi shot mode so i clicked away and ended up with close to 100 shots of fireworks while ogling at the magnificant splendour

one i love most =)

and the marina bay sands

brunch..i love

today's brunch, we went down to Hatched @ Evans Road after a long long long run at Macritchie. a well deserve brunch. heeeez it's quite a drive to that place. hidden in a corner near NUS law campus. parking was kinda limited too.

this brunch place sells everything that has to do with EGGS! yeapps can guess it from the name of the place. recommanded by bf's friend. saturday afternoon was fully booked and so we had to sit outside the restuarant at the lobby area. which felt kinda weird but who cares! we were hungry once again =P

after we ordered our food, the waiter came and asked if we would like to move inside since there is space now. and told us to leave everything on the table and they'll move it. which i thought was nice, at least they still pay attention to those sitting outside. overall, the service was awesome, despite the fact that they forgot one of our orders. but yeahh, all smiles.

we both had egg benedict, mine was with bacon and ham while bf had his with corned beef. yum yum! it came with an english muffin topped with bacon, ham / corned beef, mash potato as my sides and roasted potatoes for his side. the egg was perfect with runny yolk.however, the english muffin was a little mushy from the water on the egg. but okay it's great.

okay and at the end, we werent full again, we could have ordered for 2 for each benedict we had. but we werent sure about the amt of food. eventually, bf didnt have enough to eat so we ordered another plate of french toast. the bread is very thick and is topped off with maple syrup. ok i think its' not a favourite, just normal toast, but bf likes it. =)

and bf was still hungry after.....

over the long weekend

national day is awesome, because we get more holidays! hehe loooooong weekend, but i was already having sch holidays!

to start off the long weekend, headed back to school to watch the annual Rag dance, this year's theme for SDE was Candy land which was kinda similar to the one i was involved in 3 years ago. what a long time it has been already, and im gonna grad next year =X okay shall leave that to next year. 

i think this year's float looked as great as ever, with a myriad of colours and intricate details. it looks so deliciously pretty! the structure is actually made up of recycled materials such as oreo boxes, cardboard, unused makeup bottles, diskettes, plastic bottle caps and many more coooool stuff i nv thought would be possible to resuse. the float head is definitely genius haha because i think i can nv design a float like that. 

unfortunately, the lorry broke down and we got points cut off for that, nonetheless, the performance was great. very lively and upbeat, just a tad bit messy i must say, not to mention the costumes were really pretty, all the hard work the costume people put into making these cutsy costumes of liqourice, kinder egg, ferrero rocher, and the ginger bread man! 

all the seniors who came back........ 

our first rag together. hehehe after 3 yrs =P <3 u

this year's rag is very different from previous years. 1. it didnt start in the morning but instead at 3pm and ended at around 9pm. dragged on into the night when the hall performance starts. and they are aired on tv i think. to avoid being in the dark, 

because this year, nus will be receiving the YOG Torch! hehe sounds exciting right, but i only manage to capture this because we were sitting soooo far away. 

President Nathan giving the speech, torch already lighted. 

and fireworks in NUS, though bf calls it pyrotechnic. i call them fireworks! =PP 

awesome brunch

bf suggest prolly i should do a post on brunch since we've been going on a "brunch-spree". brunch searching have been our fav pastime.

recently, we've been to the place called FOOD FOR THOUGHT @ Queens St. have heard a lot about that place. on fb and hungrygowhere. it was crowded during lunchtime but becos it was only the 2 of us, we were seated after few minutes. love the decor of the place, quite funky.

food was pretty awesome, there are all-day breakfast which we intend to try the next time we go back. we tried risotto because we were so hungry! but the portion waas pretty small, we thought we would be filled after but nooooo. so if u're really hungry u'll prolly wanna order the mains instead.

i had the mushroom risotto while bf had seafood. actually both taste quite alike, because there's a lot of garlic in it. the seafood was pretty fresh and the mushroom is just sooo tasty. bimbo moment of the day: bf ask is the texture of risotto suppose to be like this (sticky)?? i answered, yeah it's italian. hmmmmmmmmmz

we're still very hungry so we ordered an extra order of pancakes! berry pancakes from the all day breakfast menu. pancakes with cream topping, berries and maple syrup. the pancake is kinda different from the rest i've tried before and i thought the pancakes tasted like roti john or like french toast. it seems like dipped the pancakes into beated eggs.

in a flash

alrightie it's time to update this zombiefied blog of mine.

let's see, i got to check the photo library to remember what i've been doing since the last post which was in July?

okay so life hasnt been really interesting recently. =( but work ended!

Internship
2 month long internship has finally ended and im soooo Happp-pie! hehe no more waking up at 7am every morning and cracking my brain with what im gonna wear to work =X

so everybody came n go and finally it's time for us to go! last batch of interns to leave last friday

and these are the lovely cards/gifts they've prepared for us
the cards that xinlei prepared for us, all hand drawn and written. awwwww =) and the special cup our colleagues made for us! the black veil will disappear when u pour hot water in the cup its soo cool! haha okay mountain tortoise. but yeah SWEEEET and of cos many many many chocs and candies. =P

in a flash, we've done the world cities summit and also the nightmarish research folders we slogged for 2 weeks. i think i havent done so much research before in a short 2 weeks span. plus a presentation *phewwww who says interns dont do any work =P 12 files 4 pple 2 weeeeeks!

well and then in a flash, internship is now over, all the experience i've got will definitely be valuable. of cos there are many times where i hated the job. food was the only yay-time of the whole work time. plus the awesome friends and colleagues, things went as bad afterall.
