everything's good from 11am-11pm

the day goes...

1100am: Left home.
1110am: Boarded 184 to Clementi Interchange
1137am: Car sms that she'll be late. Ask Swi to save 2 silly seats beside her.
1140am: Boarded 96 to School
1145am: Swi called to inform she'll be late too.
1200pm: Reached school with anxiety 'cos will have to figure how to get to class.
1210pm: Met Car.
1215pm: Met Swi. We managed to get 3 seats in a row despite the crowded lecture.
1216pm: Attempting to listen to South Asia's Geopolitics 3rd Lecture.
1220pm: Begin doodling on Swi's ONLY piece of foolscape paper while listening to She lecturer on topics of India and Pakistan.
1300pm: Pee-a-Poo during the 5min precious break.
1345pm: End of my 1st political science lecture. Say goodbye to Swi. And walked towards the Science building with Car.
1410pm: Reached Munchie Monkeys at last after overcoming stair-and-slope obstacles.
1425pm: My Al Funghi arrived. And we talked about the sun and moon as we tucked in our pastas.
1435pm: Learnt new words from Car, "spad" and "neuter".
1515pm: Shoe arrived at MM. We talked about the stars and then head for next lecture.
1550pm: Reached the next destination, Physics and Bio....
1610pm: Lecturer began his lecture with students Q&As and answered so profoundly that no one understood his intentions nor explanations.
1630pm: Car and I started on our special comic strip, dedicated to us 3 and cc to Prof Liu who went on pronouncing many "synthesis" as "thinthesis".

Sidenote: He is one interesting lecturer who squats up and down to illustrate the dropping of a ball which will not bounce back to the height of the initial position where it fell from, as an analogy of the simple theory that energy used to break the molecular bonds which equates less than zero will never regain positive energy value. I guess that explains the Physics of Life Science afterall.

1710pm: He announced that he'll show a video on DNA replication and students who do not wish to watch can leave the LT. So it was the official end of lecture.

Sidenote: We stayed on and I was constantly being reprimanded by Vet-to-be Car for forgetting what are organelles, mitochrondria, lysosomes, RER etc.

1730pm: End of video.

Sidenote: I had headache literally after watching the video as my brain cells were busy flipping through the old shelves of the brain and the work was so tedious that I could imagine how much pain was inflicted to the person who was regaining past memories after an accident of either temporarily or permanently lost his memories.

1745pm: Shoe abandoned us two for a 'good' cause.
1800pm: Met Swei and Slaw at CoOp.

Sidenote: Proven the curse of "speaking of the devil(s)". We started nice chats altogether. Car & I managed to psycho dear Swei to skip her forensic science lecture for the better cause of seeing dogs&cats in a house and baking a nice cake!

1825pm: All of us on the new car belonging to the Mother of Car. (No pun intended) Conversations in the car are funny and entertaining.
1900pm: Finally arrived at Car's house after braving through the rain and jam.

Sidenote: Mistook the lovely dogs' barks as clanging cans. Shame on a dog-owner.

2030pm: Decided to start baking after the long 1 1/2h playing with Doggy family(Cally,Sephie&Casey) and Catty family (Neko&MauMau).

Sidenote: Was initially feeling duper uneasy with the cats stroking their heads on me and sniffing me. Began to feel better after carrying Neko like a lil baby.

2045pm: Surfing the net for good recipes.

Sidenote: Thanks to Nigella, we got one recipe with lil plain flour needed(Car has 7 different flour, except the plain one!). It was raining and the idea of walking to supermarket for the flour seem somewhat unworthy.

2050pm: Preparation for Operation Dessert began with beating of eggs, creaming of butter and sugar using human handstrength and melting of 350g dark choc.
2130pm: Savour the Molten Chocolate Babycake. Success!


Picture from www.nigella.com.

Our Operation Dessert turns out exactly like in the picture!! Bravo!
The cakes have to be eaten when served hot. The molten choc will ooze and MCBC just tastes so heavenly.

2200pm: Watched JinZhiYuNie while waiting for the 2nd batch of MCBC.
2300pm: Watched good fair of documentary on cats. Know more about Car's Catty Family! Happy Happy =D

the evening of Mahjong

Cindy cordially invited us to her house of Mahjong, accompanied by several tibits and cakes and icecreams. Fatty fat fat!

After playing only one Feng, which took like an hour or so, we turned to new games.

HAPPY FAMILY!! And it turns out we were having so much fun and laughter playing such a no-brainer game that we cursed and teared.

Play it if you havent done so for more than 10 years!

Mummy: Look at your TUMMY!

My reply: Stop it, Mummy! I'm not that fat hor.

As if. Although the overall outlook of me is pretty healthy as quoted by friends, I cannot find any more excuses for the tummy part! It's seriously not leaving my body for the moment, since I'm having healthy supper lately.

I dont recall eating late at night in the past. A new habit caused from the exchange? Hmm.. Most probably. In fact, it HAS to be.

Last night, had 2 bananas at 7pm after 5-dish dinner at 6.30pm. Less than an hour after the drowning of glucose and feeling bored merely watching the Taiwan idol drama - Smiling Pasta, I subconsciously opened the fridge and munching an apple away. While watching the GOL, I was enjoying a bowl of curry potatoes. I dare not even estimate the carbo that my stomach has digested.

Just few moments ago, I ate one orange. Slightly before the Vitamin C, I was eating not so healthy food - 4 pieces of Indian keropo (there must be a name I was told before, urgh, I forgot! Sign of lacking ginko in my diet) and one mini packet of Cheezels. It's really the mini mini type, alright.

Friends, stop me from over-eating.

Great, Kie just (literally) said that I'm "LAZY". I cant deny that even when I really wish to. And he's now grumbling about some 'backfire effect' theory, of which I'm not listening quite attentively to. Oops.

Ok, I should be diligent now. Yes, I will! (After my movie date with the girlies tmr before the stupid 430pm lect)

Sidenote: One Last Dance is quite well-recommended. Hardly watch chinese movie(s) in the past, but within this month, OLD will be the 2nd that I've watched.

Sidenote2: I'll be starting on Fancl whitening tablets soon. Mirror mirro on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?

Happy Happy Birthday

The bowl of mee sua I made from scratch.
Sidenote: My makeup was half-done. Ha. Looking like a scary creepy browless creature!



The durian cake from 717 Trading. It's sucking-thumb yummy! Fresh durian meat filled most of the cake >.-



That's how spongy soft the cake was! My mouth's drooling from the recollection...



That's how a greedy pig eats =)



Mr.Birthday Man's first time at NeoPrint stand!



Awkward dinner at Sun with Moon:



A nice dessert completed the day, nonetheless:

01Jan2007 Activities

A weird hangout idea: Island-hopping.
Credits: Sentosa Mgt (Ha. As if. Of course it's Mr. Boyfriend's ingenious plan!)

Guess what did we do!

Tips >.<




Familiar huh?

Tadah!



Here was our first stop and we were both shocked to see how commercialised the island has become! Money comes first, no doubt about it. The mood for 'praying' aint spontaneous as before. However, we did climb the steepily nutty staircase to reach the "wishing summit". It was more of a playtime for me for I was confused with my wishes to the deities after so many rounds of offerings of incense. 13 times I recalled. Great experience though. Kie totally enjoyed the serenity which I feared none was felt for me.





Next stop:



That was my first time on this duper ulu island, never in any uniform groups my whole life you see. To curb our boredom while waiting for the boat to bring us back to urbanland, we became camera whores. Kie even leaked out a lil secret of his!



How he modelled for a castaway on a stranded island:



Yours truly was busy searching for some treasure that might be believed to be left accidentally by the islanders... golden eggs from the birds!

the day I fell ill

Bad cough, feverish and blocked nose suck.

I'm coughing so bad as though my lungs are bursting anytime soon.

No one's home and I'm making myself feel better by viewing blogs.
Best blog of the day: Huix !! Congrats!! Love all the photos you've taken at China. Totally wish I were there to share those sceneric atmosphere. China seems so so real and beautiful through your pictures. And they seem to tell a story.

its a sunday.and tmr will come monday. DUH. The main concern though is: School starts. How uninteresting. But getting to see uni friends is some console. Elaine! Be in school tmr yarh? And Mel, dont get tempt by Nic and guai guai go for first Jappy class k?

Days have been great ever since I got back. Get to see SO many people I longed to meet. My godparents, my friends, my ex-classmates, Jervis, and so many family members. WooHoo. Wonderful feeling. At least I will have no regrets should I leave this world tmr. How pessismistic you may say. But that's life. We can never guarantee that we will open our eyes tmr morning when we wake up, neither can we guarantee that tasks undone today can be fulfilled tmr. Tomorrow, comes what may? No one has definite idea.

It's really sad to be sick on a weekend. And I want no doctor! 'Cos no doctor can beat Dr. Mama. Dr. Boyfriend is pretty good too.

Was attending religious talk last saturday. It was on filial piety. How common sense yet apt to many who have cold relationships with their parents. The emotional speaker that night left me thinking how much we are willing to sacrifice for our parents.

We've come across news about people committing suicide for the cause of being dumped by their lovers. Wonder would they too commit suicide when their parents leave them.

When one feels that his parents are stupid and slow in learning, do remember the times when the father teaches you slowly how to write and the chore of mother reciting words over words to make you remember how to spell and pronouce.

When one complains about the trouble of washing disabled and aged parents, do remember the number of times the mother bathed you and changed your soiled diapers and yet never complained.

When one feels tired of walking slowly with their aged parents, do remember the months and even years your parents teached you to sit and crawl and walk.

Those were some inspirations from the taiwan trip few years back.
I love my parents. So do you?

Omen or Coincidence?

2007 is here. New year is not much of a special significance except for the fact that it is a special occasion for Kie and me. Celebration was unique. Simply unbelievable. But due to the yet receipt of photos, I shall leave some suspense here. Oooh.. doesn't one just love suspense? Exciting.

Wonder if this year is omenous or what.

Bangkok bombings. Have friends over there and it was quite a worry for us last night.

Bad weather with sudden BLAZING sun and COLD rain.

Taiwan earthquake. Internet down due to this cause. And my poor Sis Jo is still not home. Apparently, the earthquake affected the SingTel international network and the big bunch of them remains uncontactable. Pray she's fine. But of course, she WILL be fine :)

Molests due to the town countdown. Usually not a racist but seriously, the sight of the town was hideous. Simply disgusting with the floodings of "bangalas". Kie and I witnessed the desperados spraying foam at some 3 girls. Seriously, the group terroritorized the whole town which stretches from start of town to the PS area. Gosh. Thought I used that phrase to describe the beautiful lightings for the festives. Paradoxical deja vu.
