Late for a week!

I intended to write this entry on monday, because it was an event last sunday.

...

It turned out to be friday today already!!!

Busy busy busy.. This whole week has been rather crazy.. Lol.. Busy with tuition, busy with scolding kids in terrible classes, and busy with data entry, busy with trying to remember kanji for today's test, busy with trying to read up physics and getting damn irritated with coordinate geometry, and having great satisfaction. Busy with planning how I should reach 7000 by June and wondering if I can up my repayment amount to 1000 a month.

You're probably clueless at what I'm rambling about hahahaha. PM me for details!

Anyways, the event on sunday.


My uncle bidded for something last year at a temple dinner or whatever you call that, so this year he had a table and he invited us to it! I originally didn't want to go, because I thot it was just too troublesome and such dinners end very late, and going there means I have to go into the temple with my parents for praying and stuff, and the incense makes me tear every time.. =.= But I got caught by my aunt while going downstairs, so I ended up heading back home for a change of clothes and then followed them out. ...


Heh. Very cute. It's made up of oranges. There were 4 numbers too, but they've been trampled on..


They honestly look TOO alike, for goodness sake. Which is my mum? LOL.


People who invited us to sit at the table (:

Of course, we can't miss out ah ma..



The cold dish. I think it's rather awesome. The sushi actually taste nice! Actually, so does the rest of the plate. LOL. A close up at the top left hand corner..


3cm think char siew!! Wonderful. LOL.


The dessert: mango sago, which was SO good as well. I think the dinner was yummy!!!!


The people responsible for the yummy food.


A self shot, while waiting for the entire thing to start. We freaking reached at 7, while the event officially started at 8. It was soooooo boring la! The only interesting thing was food :\ I have to reiterate, the food is really good. :D


This is the thing which will ensure another half table for next year. LOL!


My very humourous uncle and the funny cousin. Congrats for getting into NUS!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was all for sunday, lol. I was jalan-ing away at Tampines1 on monday (again) before tuition, and under *ahem someone's suggestion, went to Swensen's for lunch. My baked rice was good! And THE DESSERT WAS HEAVEN.


Heaven heaven heaven!!! I'm gonna have this everytime I step into Swensen's!!!!! LOL. And instead of spending away the voucher that I received last time for a free calamari, I got another voucher for dessert instead.. Dangs. Hahaha.

Jalan-ing around Tampines 1, I look more closely at the shops which I didn't really go into the first time I stepped inside Tampines 1.. For one thing, the crowd was STILL THERE. Uniqlo's still queuing like mad.. So I chose to avoid that place and went into the cuter ones instead. Then I found something!!


My love!


And a whole bunch of my love.. Hehehe. They are too cute, CHOPPER!


Too cute!! This shop is totally awesome for looking. But buying them will make a rather big hole in the wallet. Lols.

Oh and acer guy is here to fix the com! And it turned out that only the ram is dirty. ... ... ... ... ...

At least I'll come home to an untouched computer tonight. (:

Crazy day(s)

I have to admit, Junhong is a pretty amazing person. :\

It's been a crazy day. I'll update tomorrow, after my tuition. -.-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday was one crazy day. We met for Good Friday lunch (lol!) since we have practice at night and ended up at Manpuku again because the star of the day wanted to eat the tantalizing tarts!

Tada. The tarts were good, though they cannot be compared to the kiwi tart that I had the day before.. That's still the best! We spent about 2 hours there eating and talking nonsense (and watching Cheeyao - he's such an entertainer I swear!), before heading back to TM to catch our 3.30pm show: Shinjuku Incident. I thought the movie was.. rather saddening. Not the violent parts of course. Yes I can't stand brutal violence -.- I watched Saw only for the sake of the plot, not for the sadistic moments (which about filled up 90% of the series :\)

But I digress. I thought the movie was good, in the sense that everything was rather realistically done.. Excellent storyline, emotion wise. A rare Jackie Chan movie without his stunts.. The actors have a certain credibility, especially Daniel Wu. I pitied over the fact that someone so innocent, because of circumstances, turned out such in the end. Realistic until it's disturbing..

After the movie, we went down to PA for our istana performance practice..

That made the day a Japanese day!
1) Manpuku
2) Shinjuku
3) LION - Japanese percussion piece.

After practice, we went (or rather, I was dragged) to the hawker centre for some dinner, in which we found the dinner stalls rather unappetizing, and hence ended up at Junhong's house with mcdelivery. 2 of them ordered mee goreng from downstairs, and we ordered a mcspicy, mcchicken, fillet o fish, green tea, iced milo, and 46 pieces of nuggets. Yea right. Because everyone was somehow crazy over mcnuggets, we just ended up ordering that much, and it became 10 bucks per person. For a mac meal! How crazy. Ended up playing 2 (half) rounds of mahjong, and was interrogated until 7am.. =.= The worst thing was, I only woke up at 11plus after I fell asleep, and the next day was a PA day, so I had to cab home, bathe and then go out again. I hate the fact that I have to go back to Lavender after reaching home from Lavender.. zzz.

So Saturday was PA's first official practice since the moving house. 28 people turned up to celebrate YCO's 28th birthday!! Too coincidental, I say. Lol. We had some yummy cake and then LION's combined practice commenced, and it was over in a flash. Laughed my head off (internally) at Junhong when he "solo-ed" for LION, because Shaun was sadly in Tekong already.

Went out for dinner after that. Nothing new about it, except that I insisted it to be City Hall, and I thought it was rare since I hardly ever contribute ideas as to where to go for dinner haha. But no, I didn't have any particular cravings, my main purpose there was Adidas, where we got Weisheng an Adidas jacket that he wanted. Temporary hole in the account. Lol. And there's where all the second part of craziness started.


5 guys and 2 gals, the guys were all so excited at what they can order (the second time). We were at The Pizza Place for dinner, and after choosing our food (in which some of us shared pizza and some ordered main courses), we coughed out the money that we were supposed to pay. Andy tabulated all to be $86, so we had the money nicely and he thus went to order the food. No one expected him to come back with $1.90. So amazing Junhong's brain begin to whirl, and soon everyone was on the fact that we might as well cough out 2 bucks more for another munchys (potato and cheese), and after that more and more money appeared on the table, and..


Soon there was enough money for a platter of food. =.= Crazy guys! So Andy went to order a second time, and then he came back. And then after that we realized that Junhong's drink was not yet ordered, which resulted in why there was an excess in the money in the first place.. Zomg. All $16 out thrown by us because of the excess money that wasn't meant to be excess in the first place. ...

Amazing. Haha.

So after the full dinner, the crazy guys went on to suggest Cafe Cartel for their half priced cakes, and pretty soon we were in front of Cafe Cartel @ Marina Square.. Very amazing. On the way, Minchao kept asking if they were really planning to go to Cartel, and I was like, yea, they are always serious about such stuff. Lol! I guess he got traumatized, and then after that became as crazy as them. -.- Everyone's money was like free flow.. "I treat this" "I treat that" became very common phrases in Cartel. Junhong went straight to the counter after we were served in Cartel, and ordered 6 cakes for us.


3 varieties, 6 cakes. They were so good! Until Junhong went ahead and ordered one more cake, together with waffle fries. ...

The ultimate was when Minchao kept looking at the menu after we were done with our cakes.. Junhong noticed him looking and then asked him what exactly he was looking at. He wondered whether he had enough money, then showed Junhong what exactly he wanted to order.. Junhong took a look at his wallet, declared that he definitely had enough money, then proceeded on to the counter to order.

All this conversation crossed while we were not noticing. By the time we noticed something.. Junhong was already on his way to order.. And then Minchao showed us what he planned to order.. All of us collapsed. =.=


8 scoops of ice cream, cookies and brownies. ZOMG-ness.

ON TOP OF THAT, Junhong went ahead to cut bread for us. 7 pieces, so all of us were scrambling, not because of the bread, but because whoever gets it last will get the largest piece of the bread. ...


This was the outcome of Cheeyao, who ate a main course with extra toppings, part of the platter, 2 big pieces of pizza, cake, bread AND ice cream.

I love my crazy guys and gal. For whatever craziness they get up to, I can't find it in other cliques. Lol.

Tampines 1!

The hype of Tampines just opened today. :D

Headed down at dinner time after a rather pekchek session with Shermaine, who seemed to have completely and thoroughly forgotten about anything regarding chemical bonding. Sighs!


The other gals were already at the dinner place, so I just had to go up and find them, but none of us knew that I didn't have to queue, because I had a table inside already. =.= So I ended up queuing for 10 minutes before going in, which, I think was a lot more fortunate compared with the people who came later :\

Food! The omu rice I had was nothing to rave about, it wasn't spectacular. But I do have something to rave about.

This!!


Very tantalizing tart. Very nice price. $6.80. Clement said, just try it once. But I believe I'll be trying it a second time tomorrow :\ Totally yummilicious though. :D It's good stuff!!!! The wholesome goodness of the kiwi pieces in the mouth, gawd!

After dinner, we went to explore the rest of the shops in Tampines1. I walked until I was so disoriented.. Too many weird shops hahaha. Amongst the new shops, the most sought after one has to be uniqlo. But I wasn't particularly interested in that (yet). I was indeed very glad that challenger is back at Tampines! And more than a little disappointed that Kbox isn't back in Tampines ): Shaun Chen's optical shop was also here, and we saw him talking to a few aunties at the mall lol. Jeff Wang was nowhere in sight, probably because his Xiao Bar Wang isn't quite ready yet..

Apart from Challenger, I also loved the following stores!

Emicakes!!!!! DURIAN CREPE ZOMG.
Carl's Junior!
Topshop
Auntie Anne's (CINNAMON SUGAR!!)
Outfitter Girl's!
Natural Project (though I can buy nothing from inside hahahaha)

Haha, there are alot of stores with 2 storeys! Thai Express Bistro, F.I.S.H, etc..

I am amazed to discover a swimming pool inside Amore Living. -.- To have a swimming pool inside, the store must be damn huge..

But the toilets suck! A few of them were not in use, and I realize why, after walking into another cubicle which was flooded. So I thot, ok.. Just go another one.. Then when I flushed the toilet, THE WHOLE CUBICLE DROWNED!! Zomg, like, gross. Luckily I was able to escape out before the water level got disgusting, but ew!! So many cubicles drowned!! Guess that's the only bad thing in the mall -.-

Lots of time to explore the shops in time to come. And I'm going back for a second round of Manpuku tomorrow -.- Hahaha. Mango tart here I come!
