a long day
Thursday, January 31, 2008
it has been such a long day. even after i got home, i had to deal with the damned virus etc problem with the hp lappy. though mumsy got the anti-virus program from jacob, the problem still exists. it's as though the virus, spyware, adware and malware are neverending. the program only mananged to get rid of SOME but not ALL of these troublesome problems.ate at Figs & Olives this afternoon. wanted to go to Kim Gary Hongkong Restaurant at first but it was full and there was a queue! the irony was that it was Figs & Olives that was full the other time when i wanted to eat there. anyway, ate the dory fish with creamy mushroom sauce, tomato pasta with side salad. it's like small portions of the said items, all put onto one plate. drank the almond milk and it tasted like the one sold at the coffeeshop above my grandparents' carpark. took a picture of it but lazy to post. =\ all were good except the salad. admittedly they put olive oil around it or at least the olive oil was at the BOTTOM of the salad, the salad was tasteless and tasted just like grass. the dory fish was DAMN GOOD. yummy! it's totally fresh and had those herbs. so was the creamy mushroom sauce. it had those chunks of mushroom that i totally lurveeee. it' so yummy i can just eat it alone. bad thing; the creamy mushroom sauce overpowers the flavour of the fish. and way too much black pepper but good thing was the it's yummy that i don't suppose anyone who mind except a fisherman. put it on top of any meat and it'd roughly taste the same.pasta was good. they used olive oil so the pasta had a nice flavourful olive oil taste to it. there's something else too. something i can't put my finger onto but still, it spells YUM. it ain't like those you get now in sg- all soupy and not nice at all. at the chef had the sense to keep it to a SAUCE not a SOUP. two thumbs up! it's more authentic that way EVEN though this is more meditarranean pasta then italian pasta. stillllllllllll, it's better and more authentic than some that CLAIM to serve italian pasta.rating will be 7/10. service WAS good once i forgave the beginning when there wasn't anyone around and i stood around looking like an idiot wanting to come in. after that, it was OOH-LA-LA. this waiter was so good he gave me ice water without me asking and even before i asked. he also topped up my water frequently making sure that i had enough water though i had the almond milk. service: 8.5/10. 1.5 deducted for the beginning when no one was around.for the record, i managed to eat some of what i wanted to eat. it's AZABO SABU Hokkaido Ice-cream. they have it in Plaza Singapura too! hmmm... now i suddenly recall they have many branches. still, i had it yesterday. sea salt and caramel costs more 'cause it's a new flavour and this is like DOTS. wad's the diff lah! anyway, josh was right when he said it tasted like butter ice-cream. LIKE DUHHHH.... caramel is BUTTER AND SUGAR BRO! had that and milk tea. dang.... made me super full after that. why can't they have junior sized scoops too?! walked around PS before collecting the MISSHA 100dollars hamper from GV.after collecting the hamper and walking around... decided to walk back to basement 2. wanted to try the french soups but there wasn't any seats for that store so i gave up. went to the bratwurst shop for mushroom and cheese bratwurst with its bun. sauce was meagre, cheese unmelted and it was like... overpriced. didn't like the crusty bun, didn't fit in with the taste but i guess... everyone likes different textures. its only saving grace was that..... it had seats and the bratwurst was good. but overall was not good........bengawan solo's durian egg roll wrap was awesome. bought 2 of those and yeah... quite broke now. no pocket money and i'm eating into my angpao money. =(( more than used up uncle bert's early angpao. and YEAY! going for lunch with my grandparents tml. hopefull i can convince them to eat at He She Hui.... durian mochi, gao li mao shan wang and my CUSTARD BUNS!!! woops. looks like i'm hanging out in vivo everyday. ;p can't help it. it's like ON-the-WAY. =) the custard buns are AMAZING. it's got salted egg in the custard and the custard ain't the gooey lump you'll find but this gold liquid that looks like butter. unique and absolutely delicious. took a few bites to get used to the flavour at first but after a while, you'd be hooked. bait, line, sinker. =Danyway, i was reading Three Weeks in Paris by Barbara Taylor and there was this saying, "men can stand tough women but they can't stand hard women." i think it's true. men can appreciate and even admire women who are tough. but hard women? bitter, harsh and emotionless, i doubt so. i wonder which of them i belong to. and i think i've lost my ability to talk and communicate real well with ppl. HELP!i seem to think a lot when i'm alone. good thing is i get a lot of ideas. bad thing- i don't put ideas into actions and a lot of the negative past just comes back to me. so wish me luck tml!

amazing laziness
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
it's amazing how ppl whom i know that are WAYYYYYYYYY lazier than i am, can keep up a blog while i can't! either 1) i can't be bothered and they can or, 2) they are not as lazy as they seem to be and i am lazier than i thought, or 3) they have too much time? hmppfffff. no idea which. too lazy to think which is which. i guess i'll be blogging more often since i have nothing better to do...broddo and sisto went to perth on sunday with pops. sighs. it's like taking my best friends away from me. they are my best friends for the time i've been back to sg. they were the ones accompanying me the entire time. going out, playing together, talking rubbish, eating, etc. going to perth meant distancing myself from many ppl especially my friends. haven't really talked to any of them. even my relatives. not as close anymore. still, no matter what happens, family ties can never be changed. as mums always says, friends can come and go but family never changes. no matter how my friendship between my friends and i change, my ties with my family can never change, not even with time or distance. i can personally attest to that. it sucks to know that too. walking home alone, going out alone, shopping alone, eating alone and all that just loses all its colour. life is more colourful with ppl in it.getting all emo. no one at home except jen and i. it's raining heavily too. kinda reflects on my mood now. i guess i need a companion. now i know why i had bfs that i didn't like. companionship. even if it meant making use of their feelings, i was lonely. i needed someone to feel up the void in me. those whom i had feelings for couldn't do that.haha... i am jealous. like darn jealous. of the close ties my bro has with his friends. of the close ties my bro and sis have with the rest of the family. kenwei cried so badly after knowing ally was leaving. even after she left, he was still crying so badly. all broddo's friends came and some even came over to stay with him for the last night before sending him to the airport with the others. most of the maternal and paternal side of the family all came to send them off. how can i not be jealous? my grandparents never sended me off even though i went to perth.i'm not being ungrateful to those who did send me- (xanne, zh, nszm and cz). or those whom i said don't need to send me. arghhhhh. this insane feeling in me. and the jealousy that i got when my cuz beat me in L1R5. admittedly it was 1 point only BUT i was the one who did best in the family. it sucked to have someone beating me. and someone whom i didn't really expect. it was the only time when i felt bad about my grades and regretted not studying for O levels as hard as i could have. why did i watch Da Chang Jin during my O levels period? why didn't i use that time to study harder? best part was I watched the show till 7 am on Sunday morning and went to bed, waking up in the afternoon to go to my grandma's for dinner then going to slp before my paper on monday. dang dang dang....i think too much when i am alone. spend a lot more when i am alone too.feel like buying................ 1) bags (cine; 2 bags)2) wallets (2; one each for aus and sg. no idea where to buy yet.)3) sport shoes?4) skincare products5) havainas slippers (heeren. vivo don't have the size.... :( )6) ds lite skin or NICE cases7) stationaryfeel like going.........1) marina square2) novena3) another new shopping mall in novena4) bugis5) suntec6) marina bayfeel like doing..........1) collecting the damn disc from sim lim square2) going to MOM to get the damn overtime pay and money back3) going to the museum4) going to watch 27 dresses5) going to plaza singapura to collect the MISSHA hamperfeel like eating at..........1) authentic french cafe (vivo)2) he she hui (vivo)- durian mochi, mao shan wang and custard buns3) hong kong kim gary restaurant (vivo)- peanut butter toast, milk tea and mango luxe4) carousel (royal plaza on the scotts)5) mos burger (milk tea)6) waraku (clarke quay)- hamburger steak and matcha zen7) some ice-cream parlour (clarke quay)- sea salt caramel and milk tea ice-cream8) da paolo ( bukit timah)9) margerita (faber hill)places i don't like.....1) sakae sushi2) west town council3) fu lu shou complex4) chinatownplaces i LUUUUUUUURVE LOVE LOVE!!!!1) keppel2) vivo3) clarke quay4) orchardnow this post is getting too long. will be back. :)
