an interesting dining experience
i finally have the time to blog last week's dinner..
last week was my maternal grandpa's birthday. we had birthday dinner at tao's restaurant. it's at paradiz centre. it's a 7 course dinner at the price of only $25!!!!! it's super worth it... a small comfy restaurant, with very friendly waiters, great variety of food to choose from, not a buffet... everyone has his/her own individual portion... presentation of the food was pretty... u cant help but take photos of all the food they serve...
most importantly the food was delicious. best steak i have ever eaten. so juicy, not tough at all...
everything was just fantastic :) very satisfied. usually it's 29 bucks ++ but they sell vouchers for 25 bucks each if u buy a booklet of 10 vouchers. i bought a booklet of vouchers...so who's interested to go there to eat? give a shout :D

modern pacific cuisine. savour the taste of style :) haha
for more details check out this website...

some of the food we tried...


my cousins, grace and i :) the tall people :D

well, it's the end of weekends again...
end of chinese new year....
i wonder what next week will be like.. lol :D

friends that i can always count on :)

feel so blessed and happy to have friends like them. even though we end up on different paths, we always make an effort to meet up at least once every holiday. when anyone goes overseas for holiday, she'll remember to get the rest some souvenirs too... we never forget each others' birthdays and we always have stuff to talk about everytime we meet. although we are not able to be there for each other physically, i'm sure i can count on them when i need help. we know each other so well and it's friendships like this that are truly precious. it'll be fun to meet up with them even when we are 30, or 40 or even 70 years old... haha...
i hope we stay like this forever and ever. love ya gals :)
right shu?

p.s. the pastas at the pasta shop opened by sakae at wheelock place has lots of interesting pastas. worth trying :) but not the coolers they serve. lol :D

a short post

first time visiting an og friend's hse. gambled a lot and lost quite a bit too...
but it was still fun :) i like going to ppl's hse :D haha...

just a random thought.... people nowadays dont seem to exchange house number, and definitely not house address... sometimes, you dont even know what is your friend's surname or full name... do you even know all of your friends' full names?! what kind friend is that? the only thing u know about your friend is their emails, facebook...and handphone number?!? if her phone died, it would be impossible to find out what happened her..haha

i foresee that in the near future, wedding invitations, funerals, or any special occasions will be posted as facebook event. haha.. imagine this: dear ..., u have a facebook invitation to ... wedding. please indicate whether u are attending, maybe attending or not attending. pls indicate if u wish to send a virtual wedding gift. haha
how sad is that ...
does address/telephone book still exists? anyone still using such things?
give a shout if u are.... :)

p.s. no, i am not getting married anytime soon.[if thats what u r thinking] dont be crazy... o.O

weirdness
have u seen this
or this before?


sweet moments
these moments are perfect. these moments are swensen.
lol... sounds familiar?! anyway, watched valentine's day with pat and jieying :) it was a light hearted and sweet movie.. featuring lots of eye candies.. lol :D
the trailer of the lightning thief looked good... but apparently those who watched it found it childish and disappointing. thats how we ended up watching valentine's day.

after movie, we met lari and decided to lunch at swensen.. 1 for 1 treat was indeed a good deal. even after ordering an earthquake, we spent less than 15 bucks in total :D we took lots of photos.. many were repeats..... people sitting around might think that we were tourists.. lol :) anyway, recess week seems to be ending soon... dreads :X i still got tonnes of work to do..
after so many days of mahjong sessions and going out with friends.. i finally have a free day: tomorrow! that seems to be the only free day left to study... :/
may tmr's studying be a fruitful one.





my lovely friends :D

greetings :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TOO!!!!!

latest purchase :)

my 3.5 inch=9cm?!!!!! grey velvet heels!!!! :D ok fine i know it looks kind of ordinary. and u must think i am crazy to buy such high heels given my height. but i still bought it on impulse even though i know i wont be wearing it...at least not that often i guess. o.O i just love the shoes... :D
they make me irrational :)

been out shopping these two days. last minute shopping for cny clothes is never ever successful. just wasted so much energy. i have no idea what ppl these days are wearing. the clothes look weird.. either too baggy.. like potato sack, if not it would be too tight... probably look like rice dumpling if worn... or it's too revealing.. or it's too short to be a dress, yet too long to be a shirt. in the end, i bought the pair of shoes that would most probably be safely hidden in my cupboard. wat was i thinking?! no wonder ppl say love is blind.. haha my love for heels :) woots:D

met up with pris for dinner yesterday. great dinner :) food gives me immediate satisfaction :D unlike shopping... lol :D


cny coincides with recess week( actually i think sch is just super evil and cunning to cheat us of our well deserved break by shifting recess week forward!) have lots of other activities during the week though: meeting up with friends to makan :)
well, it's gonna be a busy week ahead, and i am so looking forward to it :)

next up would be reunion dinner right at home tonight :) steamboat plus salmon sashimi plus yu sheng plus shark fin soup(real one ok!) plus choc brownie for dessert :)

off i go to watch the last episode of hai pai tian xin :) bye :D

have a great reunion meal everyone!!!!!

.....
crap oh crap oh crap.
feeling dreadful right now all thanks to my procrastination and underestimation.
plant physio test this coming tues.. and my revision is still far from done. every lesson, i took down bits of notes here and there. and when the time comes to consolidate of those pieces, i realised it is quite a significant amount. the worse part is i didnt take down notes for one lecture. in the end, there is this gap regarding c3/c4/cam plant cycles... that i dont really understand. and my notes are so messy... hard to find out what i wrote during lecture :( i just see lots of arrows+scribbles on pathetic pieces of crumpled notes. i thought plant physio wont be too demanding coz we learnt some stuff abt photosynthesis in jc already..but i totally underestimated the whole thing. T_T

to add on to my horrible plant physio revision, i have thai test on the same day too :(
i think its listening compre! haiz... at the usual talking speed, plus a whole chunk of words... i think all will sound like greek man... :(

this whole studying thing seems like a game of chess, or perhaps a battle. underestimating your enemies will be the cause of my doom. a wrong step or wrong strategy could also kill me. i wonder if reading Sun Tzu's The Art of War(孫子兵法) would help.. lol :D i guess i'm just driving myself crazy.

off i go... back to my battle!!!
there's a price to pay for everything i do. blogging right now is going to cost me my beauty sleep......

quick updates
it's week 4 already! in one and a half weeks time it'll be chinese new year! whee :D this cny is going to be different.. coz we wont be visiting anyone..that also means no red packets for this year :( talking abt cny, i haven even got any new clothings.. feeling super sad abt that fact. there is just no time to go shopping, thanks to the micro bio test i have this fri and the physio test next tues... hopefully last minute shopping on wed can be fruitful.

right now, thai lessons are the most interesting. time passes super fast in class and both the teacher and students are friendly and nice :D the whole environment is just great :)

went out with the og yesterday to celebrate marzuki's birthday. my lessons ended at 12pm.. so i waited for everyone else till 8pm... was revising my work in the library..(half revising, half dozing off -.-) was quite surprised that there were quite a lot of people in the library even after 6pm. was a little intimidated by them because 90% of them were med students... met carolyn in lib. feel so sad for her car, coz she accidentally reversed into a pillar and now the pillarcar has a very slight dent. hey shuning and ailin! if u see this, we r thinking of having cny meetup kaes :D i told carolyn to organise. haha... so she wont get lost :)

anyway, as i was saying, we went to vivo to celebrate marzuki's birthday. took so long to decide what to eat. only started eating at 9pm! i was starving man.. dun ever think that a bunch of guys would be more decisive than girls. was rather amused by the lame jokes during the dinner. we went to the top level of vivo to cut the cake :D it was really windy and nice... just like marina barrage :) but of course i prefer marina barrage.. haha :) well the whole thing ended at 11pm... as usual og outing always ends late... by the time i reach home it was 12 plus.... thank goodness, today i have no lesson!!! :D i still nid to get used to not speaking that much(not being myself) during og outing. it's just that everyone is talking. and no one seems to be listening. thats the time i practise shutting my mouth up. lol :D

ought to be studying right now. but obviously i got distracted somehow by the internet. just started twittering recently. maybe i'll be sick of twitting after some time. but right now, i just feel like expressing all the random thoughts that appear in my mind. following people's twitter seems like stalking people though. a bit weird. if u have twitter, give a shout at my tagboard kaes :)

do u think anyone ever cares about whatever i am saying? what is the basic courtesy when u make a friend? maybe different people have different standards. or maybe it's just me being too oversensitive. if i wasnt around, would anyone miss me at all? hate it when my emo self takes over. bleah :X

happy thing to look forward to: singing k during cny with the usual bunch :D




group photo :) the turnup was really good. happy 22nd birthday marzuki!

off to lunch, back to work :)
