Family Dinner @ Curry Fishhead Sembawang

Curry Fish Head.. The spoon was there because of the allure of the curry, and my mom couldn't help not eating it as me and sister were waiting for dad to join us.. Crispy spring chicken was so heavenly! I had wanted to eat KFC before this, but I found this satisfying and heavenly, a good substitute for KFC!
My dad's favorite dish - Belachan Asparagus! Personally, I'm not too fond of this dish.
The meal is never complete without a good old cup of iced lime juice!! hehe
Haven had dinner with family at this hideout for ages!! Nice and refreshing =D
Realised my phototaking skills are bad.. lolz the pictures are so blur!! haha

weekend

My weekend just passed by like that. Saturday was spent giving 1 tuition, and then mugging in the woodlands library. I realised I dun understand the materials. Textbook is so difficult, with so many tons of studies which we're expected to understand. Oh well. Sunday was supposed to be spent with 1 tuition in the morning, but student couldn't wake up in time. There goes my $$. After that, met up with my TR3001 group mates at Funan the IT mall to shop for laptop coolers, see our competitors, and talk to retailers. Oh well.. I am so super sick and my head is so painful. I really wish I wasn't sick now, and that I don't have to go to school tmr. class at 9am!! that can kill.

sometimes things are hard to forget. Forgive but not forget, some say. I say, forget, and forgive, only to remember later on.. lols Glad I went out to get some fresh air today, it made me forget the angst again. Too many bad memories in the past sometimes is quite bad for the relationship. It makes me want to give up, because i feel that things will only get worse.. But when I forget my bad emotions, I don't think that anymore. How ironical can life get?

woah my headache is getting worse, and I really cant sleep. Don't know wad to do anymore.. so tired and miserable!! AHH >.<"

oh ya, bought a new puzzle from Daiso few days back. I like playing it, until the last 3 times, when I couldn't get the pieces to form back. Grr Actually I watched a movie on Friday night, and it was enjoyable. Good movie. There will be Blood. Arul and I decided to catch something we duno anything about, just for a change. I went in thinking that it might be a bad show, or something too cliche, cos of the title. Turned out to be really good. I guess it's a good strategy to cheer yourself up, or when you're too bored. It's like a gamble.

Well, things have been not so smooth for me lately.. Studied quite hard for the Gender mcq quiz but i did really badly. Have never done so badly since year 1. I mean, usually i do badly cos i dint study, not because i studied and was indecisive. Indecisiveness is the biggest flaw for mcqs! I cant believe I took it so seriously and didn't follow my gut feeling. Oh well, learning from mistakes is the key to success, but i feel that success is not in my favor.

Anws, the next quiz is also mcq. 90 mcqs in 1.5hours! It seems so difficult! I cant understand half the materials i'm reading. Plus, the textbooks and research articles are so thick a pile, I think i wont be able to finish cramming the things into my head, if I've any.

I feel so much like going to shop, spend $$, buy chocolates, eat some feast or something. I also want to get rich.. I also want to do well for exams. I also want to go ktv, sing songs, get high. BUT I'm sick (again). Sore throat, heavy head, flu, runny nose etc.. Symptoms of a bad sickness coming. Those irritating kinds that make your head dizzy if you shake it.

I had wanted to go to some adventure on Mt Rinjani in June, but they couldn't book the tickets in time, and wanted to extend the trip 2 more days. There's nothing to do on the beach for 4 days, so i just cancelled it. Now it feels rather empty. The graduation trip with our psychology gang isn't materialising either. No one planned to go together, everything is so last minute, and in e end, i guess we'll have a mini get-together at someone's house. Maybe bake cookies, cook tomyam, watch dvd is the best we can get to a 'trip'. I guess that's better than nothing, since we all have different places we want to go, and different budget constraints, preferences etc. Oh well, my bike license is also not materialising. It's taking ages to just go for a theory evaluation, let alone the riding theory test. I think the day I go on the roads is at least 1 month away. Waiting .. Ever waiting.. Buying the bike seems out of the question also, since its impossible not to let my parents know about it, plus it's too exciting, I'll probably burst it out to them. I mean, how can I keep the news from them? well, when the boat reaches the bridge, things will straighten out.

The Little Red Riding Hood

“Grandma, what big teeth you have!”….The wolf grabbed Red Riding Hood in his claws, intent on devouring her. Red Riding Hood screamed, not out of alarm at the wolf’s apparent tendency towards cross-dressing, but because of his wilful invasion of her personal space. Her screams were heard by a passing woodchopper-person. When he burst into the cottage, he saw the melee and tried to intervene. But as he raised his ax, Red Riding Hood and the wolf both stopped.“And just what do you think you’re doing?” asked Red Riding Hood.

The woodchopper-person blinked and tried to answer, but no words came to him.“Bursting in here like a Neanderthal, trusting your weapon to do your thinking for you!” she exclaimed.“Sexist! Speciesist! How dare you assume that women and wolves can’t solve their own problems without a man’s help!”When she heard Red Riding Hood’s impassioned speech, Grandma jumped out of the wolf’s mouth, seized the woodchopper-person’s ax, and cut his head off. After this ordeal, Red Riding Hood,Grandma and the wolf felt a certain commonality of purpose. They decided to set up an alternative household based on mutual respect and cooperation, and they lived together in the woods happily ever after.

Flying kite!!

On the last day of my mid-sem break, Arul wanted to come over to play badminton with me! Alas! It was a rainy day and we didn't get to play.. He came over all the same, and we agreed to make a kite to fly! HEHE.. Our kite wasn't super professional, it was made of simple materials.
We used a plastic bag, and tie it to the string we bought at the market.

It wasn't easy to fly it, cos the weather wasn't too windy. We were running and running until we were so tired. HAHA.

Then, we decided to go to a grassy place, where we saw people flying kites. It's at Senja thereabouts. However, it was super far, and we didn't want to walk all the way there. So we tried flying it at the carpark opposite my block, which was slightly elevated, but it didn't work. I suggested going to the top of the multi-storey carpark, and we climbed all the way there, groaning and moaning (I was!). Finally, when we reached there, it was already dark, but there was no drizzle already. So it was good. The wind wasn't too strong though. we must have made a ruckus there, shouting at each other to 'thug' or 'run'!

Well, after perhaps half an hour, we were both tired out, as he was running the length of the carpark a few times, without much success. The plastic bag only hovered in the air for a while, and it did not seem to want to fly. I guess we need more wind!! lols

A fun and good day nevertheless !!

leap year! 29th Feb

Did you guys do anything special to commemorate this special day?

I heard from xiaoxuan that she made a pact with her friends 4 years ago that they'd meet every 4 years on this day. So I decided I'd make a pact with Arul also. Last night, 10 mins before 12 midnight, we made a pact that on this same day, 4 years later, We'll be in Paris. hehe
