I have a sudden craving to go snorkelling. Would like to go scuba diving if I have the chance, but I have no license and I can't even swim that well. -.-"
Feel like taking a holiday in Koh Samui, Maldives or Bali!!! The Great Barrier Reef ain't too bad, but it's like super crowded. Want to buy (WTB) underwater casing for camera!! WTB scuba license. WTB boat. WTB Jet-Ski.
I think corals are absolutely beautiful can?!! If you ever get the chance, do go snorkelling. I love Koh Samui cause of the clear waters. But then again, I only went once, to 2 of the snorkelling sites.
Ok...time to golf.

YAY!!! ME LOVES POOL [LAH]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lolz, I finally FINALLY GOT TO PLAY pool after like the 2 week break in Sg. It's been so freaking long and I can tell that I can't play anymore. Or maybe it's just the mood. Stupid Joe was like "Ah ma! Why bad mood? Ah Gong run away right?!" Like WTHECK? Since when did they have an Ah Gong! I don't even know why I have "grandsons" without having daughters and sons. -.-"
Anyways, pool was awesome and the company was great as well. Was supposed to go KTV-ing after that, but then there was too little people as we were to pay by per room per hour instead of by per person, which I am so used to in K-Box. PHOTOS of the pool session continues:
Joe and Yang Hao
Joe...Pro seh...
Kit!
Irene..Hahas.
Me and Tau Huay
Hahas, I call Joe and Kit the pros. While I was the lucky one, and Yang Hao (Tau Huay) was the "sometimes-pro-sometimes-lousy" player. XD
Wanted to pay for the games but they won't let me, so I paid for half of it and they were still arguing that we should split it evenly. But then, I felt guilty cause I was like "Eh, play somemore leh, bad mood." Hahas. Joe was like "If you like that, next time don't call you play pool ar!" Hahahas, so totally different from Hans who is like "Ying Xuan treat right?!"
Anyways, playing pool kinda lifted my mood and brought my mind off stuff for a little while.
Update tomorrow. Here's a sneak preview:
YAY! Movie next Friday!! I think...XD

New song on blog, titled The Story Of A Girl by Nine Days and Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. Here are the lyrics:
The Story Of A Girl
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so in the photograph
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this
Every day and all day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
[Guitar solo]
Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in the photograph
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a - girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in the photograph
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smi-iles!

Big Girls Don't Cry
La da da da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown.
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
Yeah
[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
La da da da da da

Arrgh. Like WTF?! I am so freaking pissed!! F-uped people all around, people with low IQ all around, am being smothered. I NEED FREAKING SPACE DAMN IT! OKAY.
On a lighter note. A joke I ripped off Ben Toh's blog. Kudos!
Ugly People
A bus carrying only ugly people crashes into an oncoming truck, and everyone inside dies. They then get to meet their maker, and because of the grief they have experienced; He decides to grant them one wish each, before they enter Paradise.
They're all lined up, and God asks the first one what the wish is. "I want to be gorgeous," and so God snaps His fingers, and it is done.
The second one in line hears this and says "I want to be gorgeous too."
Another snap of His fingers and the wish is granted.
This goes on for a while but when God is halfway down the line, the last guy in line starts laughing. When there are only ten people left, this guy is rolling on the floor, laughing.
Finally, God reaches this guy and asks him what his wish will be.
The guy calms down and says: " Make 'em all ugly again."

Hmmm, I think that Ben (homestay's daughter's boyfriend) is mad. It's freaking winter and it's like 13.3 degs C now! And he has the air con turned on, on the highest wind speed! And he is just lying down on the sofa and sleeping with his tank top and jeans! Like WTHECK? And I am freezing my ass off just by stepping outta my room. *For some strange reason, my room is at rather normal temperature, feels like about 23degs? Hahas.*
Anyways, I finished my Physics DRAFT!! LIKE FINALLY!!! But it's not 100% completed, gotta type abit more to finish up. Heh heh...Gotta start on Biology soon, test tomorrow, on 4 chapters!! Someone help me!
This is so totally random, but I bought a book titled The Murderer's Club by P.D Martin, it's about how this group of serial killers formed a club called...The Murderers Club. It's an online community consisting of only 4 serial killers. So they feigned a reality tv show, advertising on newspapers, then picking out the "finalists", via IQ and looks. Cause these serial killers not only kill, they rape too. Out of the 4, only 1 is a woman. Anyways, back to the story, so every week, one victim is chosen to be voted out of the game ala Big Brother (if you know it), and that victim is then bidded on by the killers and who ever is the highest bidder will get that victim. So yea...Oh and I totally forgot about the police. Eh heh, they are definitely involved and managed to catch the killers. I totally love the ending, it's a good twist, I kinda guessed it, but still good! Took me like 2 days to finish the book, I just couldn't put it down once I started. Get it if you like stories about crime, murderers, suspense and basically CSI stuff.
Hmmm...That's one book that I really liked. Oh, and of course Broken Angels by Richard Montanari. Another book about a serial killer and 2 police officers trying to solve the case.
Here's the sypnosis: "When the first body is found, mutilated and strangled on the riverbank, homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano suspect yet another random case of urban violence. Until it happens again. And again. One by one, women are lured to the old Schuylkill River, their violent and increasingly staged deaths the only clues to the killer's twisted imagination. All are wearing oddly old-fashioned dresses, holding a prop of some kind. And each one seems to have a story to tell, speaking of nightmares that are not just the stuff of fairy tales... Desperately, Byrne and Balzano try to uncover the fragile link between the murders, until they realise they are up against two different kinds of evil. A ruthless killer is preying upon the citizens of Philadelphia. And someone else is killing the suspects."
I love the book cause of it's reference to fairy tales. Seems like I have some weird liking towards books on serial killers eh? Anyways, yea, get it if you like CSI stuff and crime/suspense stories.
Those are two books, that I chanced upon, like I was initially not looking for a book, but because I missed the bus or something and have to wait like another 30mins - 1 hour, I decided to get a book. Hmmm...So far, the books that I have read before are really interesting and I don't regret buying them. And what's more, both were discounted items! HAHAS.
Other books I wanna get and their sypnosis
The Stolen Child, Keith Donohue (Dunno who!! Okay...Lame)
The Stolen Child is the story of Henry Day, a seven-year-old kidnapped by a strange group living in the dark forest near his home. No ordinary kidnappers, they are the fairy changelings - ageless beings whose secret community is threatened by encroaching modern life. They give Henry a new name, Aniday, and the gift of agelessness - now and forever, he will be seven years old. In keeping with folk tradition, the group has left another child in Henry's place. This changeling boy, who has morphed himself into Henry's duplicate, must adjust to a completely new way of life and hide his true identity from the Day family. But he can't hide his extraordinary talent for the piano (a skill the real Henry never displayed), and his near-perfect performances prompt his father to suspect that the son he has raised is an imposter. As he grows older the new Henry Day becomes haunted by vague but persistent memories of life in another time and place, of a German piano teacher and his prodigy. Both Henry and Aniday search obsessively for who they were before they changed places in the world.
My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.
The Death Collectors, The Broken Souls and Little Girls Lost, Jack Kerley
No, I shall not torture you by putting up 4 large pictures in a row, so yea, go to Amazon.co.uk instead to look at the books. But I will still put up the sypnosises!
The Death Collectors:
This is the second police procedural starring detectives Harry Nautilus and Carson Ryder, the two-man Psychopathological and Sociopathological Investigative Team of the Mobile, Alabama, police force. Their latest disturbing case concerns the murder of a woman whose naked corpse was found in a cheap motel room, covered in flowers and surrounded by candles--including two placed in her eye sockets. The investigation leads to the cult of followers devoted to Marsden Hexcamp, a charismatic artist and extremely perverted psychopath shot dead at his sentencing 30 years ago, and to the underground market for serial killer memorabilia.
The Broken Souls:
A brilliant new psychological serial killer thriller featuring homicide detective Carson Ryder, hero of the bestselling 'The Hundredth Man' and 'The Death Collectors.' Blood was everywhere, like the interior had been hosed down with an artery! The gore-sodden horror that greets homicide detective Carson Ryder on a late-night call out is enough to make him want to quit the case. Too late. Now he and his partner Harry are up to their necks in a Southern swamp of the bizarre and disturbing. An investigation full of twists and strange clues looks like it's leading to the city's least likely suspects - a powerful family whose philanthropy has made them famous. But behind their money and smiles is a dynasty divided by hate. Their strange and horrific past is about to engulf everyone around them in a storm of violence and depravity. And Ryder's right in the middle of it !
Little Girls Lost: The fourth in the bestselling series of psychological thrillers featuring Carson Ryder, the detective with a unique perspective on serial killers. Children are disappearing in Mobile, Alabama, the latest snatched from her own bedroom. There are no clues -- and, as yet, no bodies. Homicide Detective Carson Ryder is called in to investigate the abduction of little LaShelle Shearing only to find the case getting tangled up in murky departmental and civic politics. And with his partner Harry Nautilus fighting for his life after being viciously attacked, Carson is feeling increasingly isolated. Public rage is now reaching dangerous levels, and Ryder's bosses turn for help to ex-Detective Conner Sandhill whose uncanny ability to spot connections and details missed by others is legendary -- but who left the department under a cloud. Ryder and Sandhill form an uneasy alliance in the hunt for the missing children, a hunt which becomes all the more urgent for tragic personal reasons. But at the root of these disappearances is something truly evil! and its source is closer to home than either could have imagined.
Don't really plan to get the first book which is "The Hundredth Man".
Might get these books from the library, especially the last few by Jack Kerley cause I don't know if tjey will be good. Homestay has "My Sister's Keeper" so I might borrow it from them. Still looking for "The Stolen Child" can't find it, might check out Borders.
Anyways, thats it! Time for Biology!

Second post of the day! Just a small foodie talk before I head to bed. Had dinner at around 6.30pm (Lasagna, over baked garlic bread and steamed broccoli/cauliflower), and I had to go look at ieatishootipost!!! Made myself hungry within 20mins! And I have yet to head down to chinatown to get the stuff I wanna eat: laksa mix, roti prata so on and so forth.
So guess what?! I went and took some bread outta the freezer (yea, they keep bread in there so that it keeps longer, but the bad thing is that, you have to toast it or it becomes rather soggy. 0.o), looked for butter and the kaya spread I had somewhere in there. Toasted the bread, and made myself KAYA TOAST ala Kopitiam style!!! I only realised how much I missed Kaya Toast when I took a bite outta it!! I was so freaking happy that I finally had something "SG-ean" after so long!! Gonna make half-boiled eggs with the same kaya toast for breakfast tomorrow morning!! And if I can get my hands on luncheon meat, I will probably have like luncheon meat and omelette/fried egg with bread and tomato sauce like how my grandma used to make them. Heh heh...*daydream: Self at granny's place, being pampered with all my favourite food. drroooolll....* OKAY!
I should stop before I get hungry again. If I can get good sri lankan/indian crabs here, I will prolly try my hand at chilli or frozen crabs. Eheheheheheheh...Too bad I can't seem to find any.

Finally went to South Bank yesterday!!!! And I smacked myself in the head cause...I LEFT MY FREAKING CAMERA at Qahhar's place and forgot to bring it out with me when I went off!! *smacks self*
At least the company was good. Amanda wanted to come with me and Emir decided to tag along. Wanted to watch a movie, but decided not to in the end. So we headed off to the market place (pasar malam style, but less rowdy), got chocolate bananas!! Oh how I love those chocolate bananas, it's like they take a banana, cut off the bottom bit, squeeze chocolate into the middle and then seal back the bottom using wax! I absolutely love it!!!
Then we basically just walked around and hanged out at the riverside. I must say, I will never get tired of this place. I can just sit there from probably sunset to the sunrise the next morning cause the sun sets on the left side of the river and rises on the right, so you can just sit at one place and see both without moving from your spot (well, if you are by the river).
OH, I had this stupid smile on my face the WHOLE TIME, cause I got an overdosage of guitar listening. First, when we went to the market, this guy SUDDENLY started playing his guitar and my first reaction was "EH!!!" *high pitch...0.o* And I started the silly smiling from there, then after that we walked awhile and then we walked past this restuarant that had a guy playing and singing at the same time (2nd dosage), then we walked past the first guy again (3rd dosage), cause we were looking for a place to have dinner.
Decided to have dinner at a chinese place, and there was a guy there, and he was playing the....PIANO! (4th dosage) He played the whole time we were there so I got to enjoy it alot! Then we walked back from the chinese place to the riverside and walked past the place where the guy was playing and singing at the same time (5th dosage).
THEN WHILE WALKING by the river, there was another guy, playing his GUITAR! (not that good, but still 6th DOSAGE!!). Walked back to the city and this band just finished playing a song so they were taking a rest. LUCKILY we reached when they finished, otherwise my jaw would probably dislocate from overdosage of smiling, cause everytime I hear some person playing the guitar, you can literally see my face light up like *DINGG!*. (WHAT?! I am a easily satisfied person!! Lolz)
The location was awesome, and the company was even better!!! Hahas! I love SOUTH BANK!!!
Sorry for the extremely wordy post. But I didn't bring my camera! Oh wells, back to the books. Biology test on monday.

LYRICS TIME, song by song.
-CLOSER TO ME (FIVE)-
Constantly girl you're on my mind,
and girl I think about you all of the time
and even though words are hard to say,
girl I miss you, never thought I'd feel this way.
If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'
You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.
Nobody's there when I call your name,
and nights are cold girl without your flame.
But if I could girl I'd make you see.
That I'm sorry, and that I need you here with me.
If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'
You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.
Every day reminisce with the past
of a love that we thought would last.
How we used to be when it was you and me.
How did it all disappear so fast.
There are days that I can't forget
There are things that I now regret.
I was there for you when you were there for me, and I was thinkin' we were set.
Every night when I'm laying in my bed
I hear your voice going round in my head, think of all the things I could have done and all those things I could have said.
I really will make it up to you
I know now what I've got to do,
It took time but now I've realised how much I'm missing you.
If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'
You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.
------------------------------------------------
-ONE LAST (TAUFIK)-
Never could imagine, life without you
From the moment you walked into my world
Never knew how long a loving flame could burn
But losing you has forced me to learn
That we can't change the way we feel inside
And every try at love never turns out right
We both know it's better if we just let it go
So let's have
One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go
Everytime I try to take a stand at all
I see your face again and I fall
In the middle of the night there's the scent of a rose
The smell of your perfume I suppose
But we can't change the way we feel inside
And every try at love never turns out right
We both know it's better if we just let it go
So let's have
One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go
Baby if we met each other under a different sky
Maybe then things would be much better between you and I
We could always hold on to this one special thing we share
But it would be too much for us to bear
So let's have
One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go
We both know
It's better if we just let it go
-------------------------------------------
-Like I Never Loved You At All (TAKE THAT)-
Where, where are the stars?
The one that we used to call ours
Can't imagine it now
We used to laugh till we fell down.
The secrets we had, are now in the past
From something to nothing, tell me.
How did we lose our way?
It's hard to remember
All that we shared
Now we both have separate lives
From lovers to strangers, now alone
There's no one catching my fall
No one to hear my all
It's like I never loved you at all.
Now you're so far away
And I see our star is fading
One too many times
Guess it just got tired of waiting around.
The nights that we thought, if these walls could talk
From something to nothing, tell me.
So now does he give you love
Is it only me now that's thinking ok, what we had and what we were
Did you ever care, baby was I ever there?

Just a quick post before sleeping.
Talking about sleeping, nowadays, I don't seem to be able to sleep unless I am playing songs by Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR) and Face Off! It's like I have this playlist on iTunes that I play just before and while I am sleeping, and the songs are like:
25 Minutes (MLTR)
Complicated Heart (MLTR)
That's Why (MLTR)
I'm Gonna Be Around (MLTR)
Weird Summer (Face Off)
Don't Lie To Me (Face Off)
Stupid (Face Off)
Wait For Me (Elliott Yamin)
Rainbow (South Border)
Out Of My League (Stephen Speaks)
Won't be surprised if you guys haven't heard of the last 2 songs or the band that plays and sings the song, cause South Border is actually a Filipino band (correct me if I am wrong) from what Emir told me, and Stephen Speaks is...I don't know, pretty unknown I guess. Hmmm....Face Off is actually my brother's friend's band so it's not surprising if you don't know them, but all I can say is, Hey! I like these songs.
--------------------------------------------------
Stomach's been feeling queasy from morning. No idea why, probably the bread I had at Al's place was stale or something. Hmmm...I actually understood the Physics lesson today!!! YAY! Like for ONCE! Haha, maybe cause it was just refraction and reflection. But still, when I had Mrs. Ho, I knew nuts about light refraction and reflection. Hee...
And I am still craving Sg's food. Damn you ieatishootipost!! (in a good way, cause I love that blog!!) The bad thing about being a Singaporean, you expect everything to have a structure and once there is no structure or you are not told like what you have to do specifically, you can't do it! It's like people cannot write an essay without being given a certain format to write it cause we are so "kiasu" (scared of losing) that we don't know whether what we are doing is acceptable. We become kind of narrow-minded in a sense. On a lighter note, SG-eans everywhere, especially in western countries will feel really deprived of food! Cause SG is a food paradise afterall!! Any kind of food, you will find it in SG, anytime you want to have something, it will be selling somewhere on our little island. Now, when I come here, I don't hate the food, I just cannt help but compare the standards. -.-". And if I am hungry in the middle of the night, I just have to deal with it or have cookies.
Ok...I shall stop rambling.

OKAY!
Just had an extremely filling dinner of Salad, Lasagna, Garlic Bread and Apple Pie for dessert. And I am still hungry, mentally hungry, it's in my mind (as Al would call it "It's in your mind! Capsicum and celery are good for you!")
-Sidetrack: YES, I ate freaking capsicums (green bell peppers) and CELERY (OMFREAKINGG! CELERY!! MY MOST HATED VEG OF ALL TIME!!! *faints*). And not just once, but twice in ONE DAY. I still can't believe it. First, I was having lunch at Toombul's Prince Oriental (I swear, they are one of the top 5 Chinese restaurants out here in Aussie that I have tried), had Mongolian Chicken with Fried Rice + Fried Ice Cream for dessert. (Yea yea, gonna get fat)
The Mongolian Chicken had capsicums and Celery in it! So for some strange reason, I decided to have the capsicums and they didn't taste that bad (well, I can hardly taste it which is a good thing), and I went and ate 1 piece of celery and actually managed to swallow it! It still had the celery taste, just lighter...But I picked out the rest of the celery in the dish.
Then AT NIGHT, I was at Al's place to accompany Amanda and he decided to make pasta, which was good by the way. The sauce had...you guessed it...capsicums and CELERY in it. At that time I was like "Somebody kill me..." In the end, I finished the whole plate of pasta and sauce he gave me!! Nope, I did not pick out anything at all, cause for some weird reason I could not taste the celery AT ALL. But still, I don't want to eat celery again, unless he cooks it that way, so it doesn't have that really strong taste which I hate.- (Okay, that was a very long sidetrack)
ANYWAYS. The reason why I am still feeling hungry mentally is because of this blog.
Titled: ieatishootipost
I guess the title pretty much says it all. Blogger Leslie Tay is out and about to find Singapore's yummiest food and give reviews on his blog. I swear, he is one of the best foodie blogger that I can find! Professional photos and honest opinions with unbiased tastebuds.
With more than 200 posts in January 2007, I have been reading his blog only from last week, and due to that, I have been craving for AUTHENTIC SINGAPORE CUISINE ever since. First it was Curry Puffs, then it was my favourite Chilli/Black Pepper/Frozen CRABS, then Nasi Briyani, and Laksa, followed by Nasi Ayam Penyet (Conincidentally, the stall he recommended is the one that Halif brought me to in Changi Village. HALLIF! I WANT NASI AYAM PENYET!), and now it's officially Roti Prata/Canai!!!!!
Shite. If it's just for the food alone, I will NEVER EVER move to Australia. I will crave and crave the food, and find no other alternative cause asian cuisine here, pretty much sucks. You can't even get a decent curry that is remotely SPICY. APA KAN?! What to do you tell me??!?!?!
Okay, foodie post over, I shall now go into one corner to shiver and shake while salivating over all those good food that I can practically taste and smell right now.
*Notes to self:
-Buy frozen/flattened prata dough from Chinatown and make prata on Saturday.
-Buy Laksa Ready To Cook Meal Kit by Prima Taste from Chinatown. (Thank god for Prima Taste)
-Buy Wasabi flavoured Tempura Seaweed from Chinatown (AGAIN!)...Just for that kick in spicy food.

Parent's decided not to come afterall. -.-"
Anyways, didn't head to South Bank the other day, so I didn't get any photos. Was slacking at Foundation House instead.
Chemistry unit test tomorrow! Dumb gas laws, and I don't even know what Dennis Tafe was teaching! Like WTHeck?! He is so random in class that I started doing BIOLOGY while he was wasting our time (as usual). Sometimes I do wonder, what are we paying so much for? To secure a place in UQ, that's probably it. The lecturers and tutors here are fine! Just a few black sheep here and there. OHH, how I wish they will sack Dennis Tafe, dumbass that wastes like 4 hours of my time every week.
Starting to like Biology better now, probably cause we are starting to look into the human body and all the systems and stuff, which I am more interested in than plants (Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain, Anaerobic and aerobic respiration blah blah blah). Other subjects are just like the way it is.
Anyways, less talk about school already, talking about Dennis Tafe makes my blood boil.
I wanna go to South Bank!! But I don't want to go alone, hmmm, oh what the heck, no one's gonna be free anyway. Guess I will still end up going alone huh.

As emo as I might have sounded in the previous post. Hmmm...I guess everything is kinda alright now. I mean it this time, I REALLY DO! Trust me!! At least with one. the other 2...We shall see.
Anyways, something I came up with while dying to boredom in Biology today. Nope, it's not meant to be anything except just some thoughts jumbled together. Definetly not poetry. Like duh!
"I managed to escape your trap
But I couldn't dodge the arrow you sent.
It ruptured my heart,
Tearing it to pieces.
This day, even the stars have fallen.
These fallen angels whispered to me
'Never trust anyone with your heart'
'Why' I asked, but they were long gone dead.
Now I know the reason why
Cos no one will treasure your heart like their own.
Everyone's selfish, scared of pain.
Rather hurt others and save themselves."
That, for your information, was written during midday, but my day got better after that. I even had a drawing to go with that. Cartoon-ish no doubt, but HEY, that's just me! When I say "Never trust anyone with your heart" I meant don't give your heart to anyone, not that you should not trust people!
Anyways, after English, walked to the city with Emir. Wanted to head to South Bank alone, but it looked like it was gonna rain and the sky was getting dark as well. In the end we just sat and talk, then walked about 1/4 way past the bridge to just look at the sun setting. Beautiful I tell you. BEAUTIFUL!! More talk after that, joking, arguing and just plain fooling around. I didn't bring my camera, so I can't put up photos of the sunset and everything. Will probably take a trip down tomorrow as well, this time, armed with my camera. I swear, I will prolly spend like 2.5 hours there, taking photos and doing some work at the same time.
Projects coming in, Physics, Chemistry and Biology research essays. English report, and Maths project! How many of you actually heard about doing projects in Maths?!?!!? It's not like a research project, but more like calculations and stuff. I think it will be fun. Hmmm...
Hussain was kicking my chair throughout Biology! 2 hours! HELLO??!! He pissed me off BIG TIME! Was fuming when I walked into Nel-Ral's place. Saw Emir and Leo there too. Sweet came in and then they started to crack me up cause they were so funny! These people, never a dull moment with them. If a party is dying, just chuck them in and everything will start going from there!
Oh. I must say. I am guilty!!! I spent another $50 on a top! Another long sleeve shirt, this time from Just Jeans. Black, and yes, men's shirt again!! I need a new bag!!! Arrgh.
Parents coming over the week after the next. HAP HAP HAPPY!!! Happy bubbles everywhere! Ha!!! Now, I can have delicious, healthy, HOME COOKED MEALS! Whoots! Yes, I miss my mum's cooking THAT much! *Stretches arms to emphasize*
PHOTOS tomorrow people. Stay tuned.
*Might take down the tagboard. But I will put up the comments thing if I do take it down.*
