ALRIGHT PEOPLE!
i've settled down on my comfy chair and you should grab yours too! :D
i mean, seriously, cos i had no idea how long my grandmother story's gonna take.
HAHA.
anyhoos.
wednesday was MTS day! :D
i prolly dwelled on this before but HEY!
guess what...
i totally forgot to mention the ESCARGOTS! :D
so like,
i was with leeshen when my mum called to ask me out for lunch.
i told her i was with leeshen approachin bugis.
it went sth like this...
mum: "hello, where are u now?"
me: "i'm with leeshen now...goin to bugis soon. y?"
mum: "no la, wanted to ask you eat lunch with me..."
me: "you treat isit? haha."
mum: "ya la ya la. so ok? when u reachin bugis?"
me: "eh, u have to treat leeshen oso ok? we come in a package."
mum: "okay okay, haha..."
and blah blah blah.
so we went to bras basah jack's place.
lucky my mum alr got a table.
if not we'd wait FOREVER.
gosh.
it was just slightly after 1pm.
there was quite a lot of empty tables but the queue was like LONG.
service was BAD.
food was WORST.
i had no idea what the heck happened to jack's place.
seriously.
and no, i will nv eat there anymore.
at least not in the near future.
i mean, first was the CNY special FISH MAW SOUP.
which practically tasted like pepper, salt and hot water.
and now, the crappy soup of the day again (which tasted like salt, warm water and a lil bit of carrots.)
and the horrendous chicken.
OH AND THE GREEN PEAS.
did i tell u abt the GREEN PEAS!?!
it was YUCKYYYYYY.
it was like, green and pea-ish.
not tryin to be unreasonable,
but i m just out of words to describe it.
the dessert.
GOSH.
we were so lookin forward to dessert.
i use to love their apple crumble pie!
it always came with a lil warm custard sauce.
that day,
our apple crumble miraculously transformed into (CANNED) MIXED FRUITS crumble pie.
and the custard sauce?
my, seems like the chef mixed up the proportions of water and custard,
BIG TIME.
seriously, is the economy THAT bad?
anyways, we had ESCARGOTS too!
yes, my favorite.
YAY! :D
and i got to witness leeshen stuff her very first icky looking (but NOT icky at all) BLACK french snail into her mouth. (:
i thought escargots were really nice (but not at jack's place) but leeshen thought it was just...mediocre.
pfft. haha.
and, escargots were nv GREEN, silly. (:
dunno where she got tt from. haha.
so yes, head on to walk around bugis aft lunch.
we went straight to the 2nd floor cos we really couldnt take the heat.
i mean, SINGAPORE! would it kill to bring a lil winter in here!?
sheesh.
so she wanted to find her stupid vest that she couldnt show me visually, as well as describe verbally. so we din find it in the end.
started to get squishy with all the jus-ended-sku sec sku ppl.
went down to the 1st and OMG PEEEE-EWWWWW!!!
i have no idea why bugis village/street always smells of crap.
like, really, a variety of CRAP.
couldnt find cheers and that shop located next to cheers,
we headed back to parco.
looked around and headed over to shaw.
daniel came just in time and since tom's palette was packed,
we headed to....
D'ORANGE! :D
i got a YELLOW shirt!
haha.
okay, so then we had ice cream,
and headed over to mr. tea for some games.
and the rest is history.
yesh.
thurs.
YAY! MTS DAY AGAIN! :D
haha, it's like part 2 or sth. lol.
initially, we wanted to meet up early to go for a phototaking trip.
but since the 2 of us stayed up late talkin abt random stuff till late at night,
we both overslept.
lol.
so we woke up late.
lol.
and met late.
and made it just in time for the last ducktours trip with 30 mins to spare.
PHEW!
haha.
slacked around at suntec.
went over to bakerzin and got a slice of COOKIES & CREAM CHEESECAKE!
yes!! it's is very nice!!
haha, even tho the last time i had one,
it was like melting,
i still like it. (:
so yea, ate and slacked.
finally, 4:40.
DUCK TOURS TIME! :D
and our NOBLE tour guide - DANIEL! :DDD
haha, notice i use NOBLE?
*daniel! see? i'm so nice! haha!*
so yea, we went up and started taking pics.
lol.
and we got 2 bottles of FREE water!
courtesy of daniel! hahahahaha.
till the rest of the tourists came up,
we took our seat.
the bus started moving.
we heard daniel's voice,
and started giggling.
LOL.
so during the trip,
it was more or less taking photos and photos and photos of ourselves,
the scenery,
the TOUR GUIDE...
and the bald man sitting in front of us.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
OH! and we laughed at those who laughed at the guide's jokes.
LOL. no offence...but it was really...err...lame.
HAHA.
but, good effort tho. ((:
"...it's goin to cost you and arm and a leg."
HAHA, din know u were still using that!
lol.
so aft the trip,
when for dinner and spent rest of our time at screme.
YAY SCREME! :D
haha.
drinks on daniel.
yes, aint he great?
haha. *EH, i m not being sarcastic OKAY!?*
i loved my banana milkshake!
i love all things banana milkshake-ish!
haha.
okay, maybe i just love bananas and banana milkshakes. ((:
fresh bananas!
no artificial banana flavoring or fake bananas or anything along that line.
FRESH BANANAS ONLY!!
haha.
while leeshen n i drank at the table and rested for a while,
daniel, the person who sat he wanted to SIT DOWN AND REST,
got up and challenged a poor bloke to a game of snooker.
or pool. oh whatever, i'm confused. lol.
yes, poor bloke got trashed.
such a meanie.
while they played,
leeshen n i got bored and decided to play too.
so we started playing,
and soon the 3 of us ended up playin.
LOL.
AND!
I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I WON DANIEL IN ONE NINE-BALL GAME!!
he thought i couldnt do it.
i thought i couldnt do it.
BUT I DID IT.
YES I DID! :D
haha.
had a 'in ur face' moment, comforted the very very shocked and in-disbelief daniel.
then we went on to play wii.
1st with guitar hero.
which we all sucked at.
leeshen n i played mario racing which she sucked at, big time.
then, we switched to wii sports.
we all played tennis and yes, leeshen still sucked at it.
HAHA.
then came boxing.
OMFG was it tiring!!
and stupid daniel kept dancing around whenever he won.
if only that character could jump,
he'd be prancing around.
lol.
lastly golf, which got really boring in the end.
FINALLY,
we played COOKING MAMA!
haha! YAY!
use to play it on nds and it was so easy peasy.
like, i could break the records everytime.
and it was so easy to master.
but wait till you try it on wii,
with low battery levels on remotes and really aching arms.
haha.
but over and all,
i'd say cooking mama was really fun.
especially when u're play with ur fren. (:
u're go crazy screaming ur head off wonderin how the heck do u cut the carrot or butter the pan.
and u'd laugh like mad when u finally found out how and realise how dumb u'd have looked.
lol.
FUN STUFF! (:
went for tau huay at and headed home.
no portuguese tarts. ):
): ): ):
friday.
toastmasters speech contest at changi tampines.
i was told that i was the only one going.
it would be such a bore. ):
but since i promised, i had no choice but to turn up.
waiyew called me in the morning and it was really nice of him to volunteer to accompany me during the contest.
i was elated. (:
but then again,
no point gettin all hopes high when it didnt happen anyway. ):
but oh well, couldnt blame him too...
he had tsd meeting suddenly.
thank god hali turned up. ((:
getting there was such a pain.
it was at 7pm,
n i was alr running late by 6:30.
squeezin into the bus with a bunch of other smelly sec sku kids really made me cranky.
THEY ARE REALLY SMELLY!!!
like OMG.
and i was surrounded with them.
their bags.
THEIR BAGS!
all so big, bulky and filled with ROCKS!
and worst,
there were this grp of ncc cadets.
OH GOSH, THEIR STINK MAKES ME GAG.
and they were PERSPIRING!!!
ARGH!
all of them chitter chatting like a never ending symphony of barking dogs and moo-ing cows.
OH MY GOD.
they almost knocked my eyes out.
GEEZ.
note to self:
riding on the bus at primetime rush hr is a NO-GO.
especially when boardin near a school.
so glad i finally got of that stinking bus, literally, and went off to changi tamp cc.
WHICH I HAD NO STINKIN IDEA WHERE!!!
BULLOCKS! STINKING BULLOCKS!
had to ask for directions from 3 to 4 passer-bys.
and FINALLY, one nice aunty knew the way and offered to bring me there since she lived near it.
so i had to follow her...and boy, was it a long walk.
luckily,
i made it jus in time,
after registration, b4 opening speech.
okay.
contest begun.
cool, not bad, interesting. wow.
etc.
yea, experience, hell yea.
blah blah blah,
skip skip.
really thought our prez had a chance in winning.
his speech, thought had weak points, also had outstanding points.
but oh well.
we din win in that category.
BUT, we came in 1st runner up for TABLE TOPICS CONTEST!
our very 1st trophy in ANY speech contest! :D
haha.
and i was there to witness it. (:
syed was good, he rocked!
and being the youngest contestant, i think he's PWNED!
haha.
OHOH!
there was this speaker who told a story in ancient china, and everyone bursted into laughters when he said "OH MY BUDDHA!",
i thought that was pure genius! haha.
then towards the end,
every club had to send a rep to speak for the table topic.
and syed came to me and said "hey, later they call tp u go up k? pls pls pls!!"
and i was like "NOOOOOOOOO! *shrieks* NO NO NO NO NO NO NO *sounded like a machine gun* NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *now bringing in russells peters* NO NO PLEASE NO NO PLEASE OMG NO PLEASE NOOOOOO!"
i wasnt tryin to be funny but i really din wanna go.
one, i was the youngest in the whole darn room being only 17 goin on 18 in more than 6mths.
everyone, almost 85% of the ppl present were above 30.
i mean, it's so weird talkin to a bunch of older ppl who meant business when it comes so speaking and they are like, really PRO and talking.
i know i can do impromtu very well.
only when it comes to talk bullshit. (haha!)
but if i have to do it formally, i fret.
but still, i went up...
and talked.
and tried to be funny like i was advised.
sure, i got quite a bit of laughter goin on in the room.
yes, i'm happy with that but i also used A LOT of filler.
):
i have a BIG prob.
i talk with fillers as tho they come free.
well, yea, they ARE free but i should really cut back on those.
like, 'like', 'erm', 'so', 'you know', 'yea', etc etc.
OMG.
so embarrassing. )))):
ohwells.
aft talkin for a while, i totally went blank.
and in my mind i kept screaming to myself "HELLO!? SAY SOMETHING! SHOW THEM U'RE NOT GONNA CRAP IN UR PANTS!! SAY SOMETHING!!"
and yes, i m serious.
i blanked for 10secs and finally said sth and ended my speech abruptly.
raced back to my seat i could feel my heart beatin out of my ribs.
syed pat me on my back and said i was awesome.
it was nice, but i still think 60% of that compliment came in a form of pity/grateful/sth etc.
like, "thank god u went up and not pee in ur pants. well, since u went up, thank you! i shall say sth nice! (:"
u know? THAT kinda feeling?
no offence AT ALL! (:
ohwell.
aft the whole contest,
we took our pic with the trophy and headed home.
syed said i should totally take part in future table topic contest.
GAWD, i could feel myself panicking again.
god have mercy! ):
walked a long way back out to the busstop and bus-ed home.
waiyew was playin pool when i called.
haha.
today...
saturday!
well, technically speaking,
it's already SUNDAY.
the wee hrs of sunday.
AHAHA
but whatever.
so saturday.
i stayed at home the whole day.
had sushi for lunch!
so long since i had sushi!
haha.
i totally forgot to go to farid's magazine launch!
i only rmb-ed during earth hr.
LOL.
ohwell, too late.
tho it's still goin on at this moment. haha.
waiyew had tuition as usual in the morning.
at first, he said he wanted to go watch a movie with me aft that.
not tryin to be indifferent of what but i wasnt sure if we were really goin out...
cos, curse us two, there's always sometime coming up at the last min which will foil our plans.
these days, we've been using a lot of "maybe", "see how" and "confirm with u later".
i kinda saw it coming.
so i would rather confirm our meetin on the day itself, hrs b4.
cos plain talkin abt it the night b4 or so is utterly pointless.
haha.
true enough, he had a play in the after noon at 3pm.
and it turned out to be a 4 hrs play.
i wasnt notified but since he didnt call or msg me, i guessed as much.
haha.
oh well.
so now.
since it's sunday alr.
i shall say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDNA TAN!!!
haha.
gonna play mj with zg, xiemen and kolia later in the day.
they wanna have steamboat for dinner at katong...
speakin of katong, i miss oliv cafe.
haha...always said i'd bring wy there but we'd nv find the time.
oh well.
anyhoos.
not sure if i'm joinin them at dinner or not.
might be goin out with wy in the evening.
might.
he cancelled his tuition in the morning.
if only he'd made this choice earlier and told me earlier.
haha, then i'd free my day for him.
but i can push my push my plans now...
since he only told me just now.
oh wells.
oh, and wy n i jus became farmtown neighbors!
i bought him over, recruited him in my band for rock legends!
hahah, i'm gettin so hooked on fb.
LOL.
i dunno y he is so annoyed with me.
so what if i sleep late?
so what i'm so stubborn?
i mean, i'm havin my holidays now and i have absolutely nothing to do.
he says i nv listen and he'd rather spend his breathe on someone who'd listen.
well fine.
go nag someone else then if i'm such a pain.
seriously.
and he said, because i'm not slpin early now,
i wont slp early when sku reopens and i will be late for sku.
and i will not do well in sku and i will not slp early anymore cos i'd complain abt my workload.
i have nothing to say.
no really.
i thought i'd have deserved sth else rather than this kinda lecture.
i mean, if my own guy doesnt have confidence in me and all he thinks about is how terrible i'm gonna do in sku, -when sku is still a month away-,
what more can i say?
hmm,
let's see.
then comes monday.
which i am free, but ONG is not,
after 4pm that is.
i'd be free for the whole wk as usual.
i booked ONGLYPOOP on wednesday! :D
haha. we'd either find something to do, or somewhere to rot in STYLE.
haha, not sure how we're gonna make that happen, but trust me, we will. (:
hopefully we get to hang out again on thurs.
either hitting screme again and hoggin their wii with daniel...
or well, something else...which we'll think abt later.
haha.
my poop's gonna go for a 8-day camp on fri!
i'd really miss her!!
and since the next time i can see her is almost eternity from now,
we've got to hang on wed AND thur! ;DD
toast on fri.
i'm gonna be the ah-counter.
embarkin on my CL journey!!
omg, i'm beginning to sound like a geek.
):
anyways, gotta give a talk abt the contest.
i have no idea what to say.
pish posh, i'll come up with something later.
i always do. (:
YAY!
I CANT WAIT FOR MJ LATER! :D
I CANT WAIT FOR ROT-IN-STYLE TIME WITH MTS! :D
