I've been v lazy to blog lately. I think it's cos of all the readings and stuff. Bleah.

Went to Colbar on sun night to celebrate jojoy's birthday. Happy birthday jojoy! :):) No pictures though. I think I've also lost interest in taking pictures. Only take a few nowadays.


On tues I met glenda, dee and beek for dinner. I was supp to be late (and I was, having rushed there from tuition), but in true fashion everyone else was late or later. -_- Ohh the food was quite disappointing!! :(:( I don't mean to be mean, but it was. The triple cheese crepe was qt unbearable, but that wasn't really their fault; we didn't expect the cheese to be so strong. But the rest of it was also nothing special. And the crepes were really airy and insubstantial, but then again that isn't really their fault. But it was ex. And after dinner glenda convinced us that we were really v near clarke quay and that we should walk there. So we walked and walked and walked and after going in circles we found ourselves at raffles city. -_- So we had dessert at menotti, which was good. :)



beek & glenda
triple cheese / parma ham, emmental cheese and sunnyside up / smoked salmon / scallops!

my favourite crepe! salted caramel butter. :):)

Ohh on tuesday morn I also tried to bake these wonderful german pancakes which looked so good but they turned out disastrous. Cos firstly the butter wouldn't soften and I ended up with a batter dotted with butter bits and secondly I think the catch on my springform pan is loose so after I put it into the oven all the batter started seeping out below and I ended up with a sizeable pancake on the bottom of my oven (instead of in the pan).

So today I tried it again and it worked!! Only it still doesn't look like in the pictures. :(:( Oh well. And it's kind of eggy but kind of nice at the same time. But not worth the waiting, really. I took an hour in all when I could have taken 15 min to fry pancakes.

Lalala today I ate so much. Pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast, sushi for lunch and then pizza and drumlets for dinner. :):) Heh and in between jq and I watched Meet the Spartans and Juno. Meet the Spartans is v v v dumb. Some of it is qt funny though. And I loved Juno!!! V good show, the girl is damn cute. pancake in a round tin / pancake in a square tin! / jq :) / stuffed crust meat galore pizza

Waa I realised that on tues I did a lot of things! I got up early to bake pancakes, then met jq for lunch & shopping, then met my mom for a facial, then had tuition, and then had dinner with my friends. Heee.

Speaking of facial, I think I'm allergic to them. My face is all blotchy and gross now. Bleah.

Browsing through facebook photos for one that can hopefully be used in my resume is frankly not the smartest thing to do.

Rather late, cos I was lazy to find my cam cable, but here it is. :)
The Villa Bali, or Little Bali. Very lovely place in the evening. Am rather sad though, a lot of my pics turned out v blur cos I don't really know how to take night shots. Lalala. Al fresco dining, which I love cos it's v breezy and you can see the moon. (Ohh except for the kitten, but thankfully it scampered away after awhile. Heee.)

US! Surprises! :):)

Went to watch Jumper after that, then went to eat my fav dessert of the moment - egg tau huay with orh ni (yam paste). :)

make-the-cutest-dessert contest! / jq's keropi (which won) / my smiley face (there really isn't much you can do with orh ni) / his keropi got punched in the eye. heee :)

Also, this is the cutest and most retarded thing EVER (courtesy of glenda).

I hate LCS. Most of the time I have no idea what's going on and other people scare me by furiously posting on the forum and our tutor's v slack (which, ok, is a good thing but then I don't learn much either) and the whole module feels like a mess. And then there's public law and equity, both for which I have a ton of readings which are IMPOSSIBLE to finish reading.

Been lazy to post. Abt TSMP, abt Old Brown Shoe, abt the law fcg dinner at andre's just now. Haha but mich wants pics from last night. Or rather pic. Heee.

mich & kox! :)
jean & christine at andre's. :)

I need to stop lusting over happy, unaffordable things and concentrate on more important matters. Like my equity and public law tuts, both of which are tomorrow.

When I get my first paycheck, I will go shopping. I will go mad (as far as it is possible to go mad with my first paycheck).

Lalala I am a blob. It used to be that CNY = $$ but now, CNY = FOOD.

First day of cny I went to my uncle's house, where my aunt had cooked a very big meal of the kind my grandma used to cook (and that I sorely miss). Haha there was a lot a lot of food but I refused to waste space on anything other than the otah (the nice kind! cooked in a dish!) and the buah ka luk (heh i dunno how to spell) and the ngoh hiang and the fish maw soup. Ohh, and the tong sui. And I ate and I ate and I ate. (And colleted ang baos.)

Second day I went to my other grandma's house, and I continued eating. Before lunch, I snacked on pineapple tarts. After lunch, I was hungry and went in search of more tarts and shrimp rolls and various other goodies, and did not stop until dinner. After dinner, more tarts. (And almond jelly and various other tong suis.) WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh I realised that I cannot play mahjong this year. My mj luck is GONE. Last year I kept winning and winning but this year I've played twice, once at my grandma's and once at weijia's yesterday, and both times I lost. So, no more mj for me in the year of the rat. (Maybe my poker luck will be better this year.)

Arguing isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Sometimes you only argue when you care, when you're trying to come to a workable solution that will last. Because otherwise, it's so much easier to just walk away.

Well, I've gone and done it.

Don't know if I'm being stupid or what, but I've made my decision, it is MADE, and that's the end of that. Feels empowering, to be able to make such big decisions about my life.

I think a lot of people won't understand what I've done, and some may resent me for not grabbing the opportunity when its been handed to me, but I have my reasons and I think they are valid and maybe right now I don't want to go as much as I thought I would want to. Maybe I wanted to go just because I could. I might come to regret it, or I might not. In the end, no one ever knows where the grass truly is greener.

In any case, law school is never boring. And I plan to travel around europe and stay with random law friends. And wherever I go or don't go, I'm sure I'll be happy. :)

(Heee this post sounds like it's about such a major life-changing event when it's really not. Haha.)

96 hours on, I am no closer to making a decision than I was on fri night.

Shopping was fun. :):) This time no laptops somemore! Tried on the most gorgeous pair of soft grey heels which dee ended up buying. Also tried on a v pretty dress! But it was rather short so I didn't buy. Go me!

But now I'm sick. :(:( What horrid timing, esp as my mommy just bought bak kwa and baked a batch of pineapple tarts. Can barely move without feeling like my head is being continuously thumped by a ton of bricks. This sucks v much. :(:(

Also, I got into University of Manchester. But I dunno if I'm going. Bleah. Decisions, decisions.
