JC friends outing and Cobblers in Singapore

I finally went out with the 2 lovelies and 1 dirty (inside joke) again!!! It was a late lunch, then far east shopping (GREAT BUYS) and then dinner at Crystal Jade.

We had some rather ex lunch at Full House (Far East Plaza). The food looks better than it tastes... This is what Jessica had...
And this is my lunch! I love pork floss!!! It looks super flavourful right? It tastes quite normal actually.We were too busy shopping to be taking pictures, but I got the demien shorts that I was looking for for a month, a matching and versatile rocker's belt and a pair of BOOTS which I have been looking for for half a year now. And guess wad. The total expenditure was less than $70. =D
Karen (the ultimate shopper), got two flats, one scarf and a bag. Jessica was the acting boyfriend of the both of us, accompanying us around without getting anything.
Then was crystal jade Dinner! I felt everything was really overpriced though. $ 7 bucks ++ for a bowl of noodle with dried onions (Karen loves it though) is daylight robbery. I din like my fried rice coz it was blend and oily. Jackson had somehting similiar. I think Jess's noodles looked nice though.
The girls...

the dirty guy who aspires to be a xiao bai lian and wants me to help him sign a premium internet connection contract.....
And us with our food!Whats crystal jade without their famous XIAO LONG BAO! =DKaren had to leave after that coz her bf's (Jing Kun) fetching her. Apparently he always sends her home no matter where he is! There was this joke that all girls should send their bfs to karen's training! Then they'll pick us up and send us home from whereever they are! YAY!
A big hug and more importantly, SEE MY NEW BOOTS!!!!
A great day indeed! Had my international student card done too so hopefully its gonn amake travelling in Europe abit cheaper.
An overseas call from Siong adds the final golden butterfly-ish touch to the wonderful day! We talked for 28 mins ( Time passes too fast!) so I think that call costs $12 bucks plus...... but its worth it! Just that maybe have to try cutting down abit more =P

I had the soles of my precious boots enforced by a Cobbler I found at Yew Tee. Costed only 9 bucks and its quite well done I must say! The grip is soo much better and I am sure the boots can now last longer. The cobbler took abit longer though coz the old man could not find his smller knife. I ended squatting down beside him to help him look for the knife. I had innitially pointed out this knife he had just in front of him but he's looking for his smaller knife. So we spent 5-7 mins or so rammaging thru his things abit looking for the knife. Then, I guess he got fed up, he just decided to use his big knife. He picked it up and VIOLA! The small knife he was looking for is just hidden underneath the big knife!!!!
It's worth a little laugh!
I am glad that such cobblers are still around. In time to come, they will extinct and everyone have to go to Mister Mint, a absolutely horrid place that charges three times more, use cheap materials and void of human feelings. Bad experiences only.
And I'm gonna see Jessica in another 2 hours plus time! WOO HOO!!!

Strawberry Drink! And the cool guy who loves Strawberries!!!



That's Shawn smacking his lips after a delicious meal of Ostrich meat, Beef, Chicken and Mutton on Hot Stone!
The fork that attempted suicide, saved by the chunk of meat stuck onto it. How ironic!

Sending him off
Keep thinking of God and me... as how I'll continue seeking faith and belief in God and you.

3 weeks since I've last blogged

It was loreal brandstorm meeting everyday for the next two weeks since the last time I blogged. Jia Jia was here in Singapore from 5th May to the 11th and it was really a struggle between work, accompanying my childhood friend and sleep. It was absolutely grueling... thankfully Siong was there helping out whenever he can =) Ivan hit off REALLY well with Jia Jia and he took her out for two days on my behalf. Han Long and SH's BF did well doing 'da zha' =P Shawn's friends also helped out for the dance and were always punctual! Thanks guys!

I didn't really have much pictures with the girl except on the day she left =( she's grown up really pretty =D with a good voice too!


Last week was more eventful. Tuesday the 18th was the Loreal Brandstorm Finals and EVERYONE could see I was totally nervous. I think I may have even pulled the whole team down! Anyway, we got second. We were told it was really a close fight with the first team though =)

Thank You Zalvado Fighters!!! You guys fought along with us! Thank YOU my supporters!!! I could constantly see your cameras in the air snapping away!

A really sucky place to present. It was SOOO BRIGHT and sunlight filled, no one could see whats on the screen. I prayed for it to rain when its our turn to present though, and my prayers were answered!!! The sky darkened when the third team was up and IT RAINED when we were presenting! Our screens were possibly the best seen among the four teams, which was really needed! =D


The posters that made me photoshophobic.

Something really bad happened to my trophy though. This was before *see the trophy in WQ's hand*


And no. It was not WQ who dissected the glass thing. IT WAS MY BROTHER WHO BROKE IT.
He's SOOOO gonna sponsor my Europe trip.
Uploading pictures is becoming a chore in this post so I'm gonna separate my posts. =)

I am summarising my April. Everything's jumbled up and I really don't know if they are in the correct order, so the picture sequences below are by no means any form of suggestions in terms of timeline. This is the Citron hand cream that I got from Crantree and Evelyn and I am in love with it. Not only does it do its job of keeping your hands soft and smooth, it has a refreshing citron smell that makes me wonder if the company should invest in produing perfume as well. It's in my bag everyday since the day I owed it! Jessica got the rosewater hand cream from the same company for her 21st Bday last year. It smells great too, though not as nice as my citron one =P
We had lunch Shokudo at City Hall after abit of shopping. Mine was too dry and not as delicious as it looked, but Jessica's chicken as holy good. I'm gonna have the same thing as Jess the next time I visit Shokudo again! Or may Jess wanna eat there again too? =DDD
I finally had my Pedicure done to get rid of the pile of dry skin I have at my heels that is causing me alot of itchiness and frustration. It was a ' Buy a classic pedicure and get a express manicure free with 4 nail arts'. I added a scrub too just to pamper myself =P. The service and skill did match the cheap offer though. The pedicurist made a hard poke into my cuticle and caused some minor bleeding while the manicurist did a terrible painting job, not putting on the base coat before applying my OPI and I could see the two layers of blue very distinctively. The OPI (surprisingly) caused my nails to peel two weeks after I removed the badly chipped nailpolish.
Some left over packed lunch I made for a kite flying occasion organised by the Taman Jurong adventure club. It's really a wrap just that I had sooooo much left over 'liao' the prata was not big enough to wrap everything, it became more like a thin crust pizza instead.Had a cheesecake and TWO root beer floats after kite flying that day. That was the last time I had a cake. THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO!!! I NEED MY CAKES!!!! CHEESECAKE!!!! MAYBE FROM BAKERZINE!!! *super obvious hint hint*It's the exam period and of course, (although I only have but ONE paper this sem =DDD) HOW CAN EXAMS EVER COMPLETE W/O A DAY STUDYING AT MY SECREAT HIDING PLACE?! =D The menu had changed and for some reasons I forgot to take the lunch, but I had this new dessert! Hot choc mud pie with two servings of vanilla ice cream. Sweet and YUMMY! way to reward myself and Shawn!
Patience!
When did food at Quad looked sooooooo fulfilling and appetizing? =D
A relaxing day at another of my favourite hideout after exams. It's different from coffee nations as this is really a place away from books and studies. Only magazines or day dreaming about setting foot on a cruise allowed here! (at least for me!) The food here is slendid too, I'm gonna come here more often!
A pretty and splendid tea break at TCC only AN HOUR after a full TeoChew Porridge lunch and only ANHOUR or so before a 2 hour dance practice. Surprisingly, it was the most ordinary scrones with their accompanying jams that I find the most tasty. I have ran out of my limited vocab to describe food, so I now pass on to the pictures to say their thousand words la.




I don't think this is a nice picture of myself with a failed attempt to look cool, but I do think I look like some Nihon Oonano Hito stick in the bamboo forest. This is taken at Esplanade though and the Bamboo structures and designs are real cool. Go there and take pictures!
There was this particular picture of a particular meal that I had really really REALLY wanted to take but didn't not was this dish from New York New York called Steamed Fish in Butter or something like that. The reason being, it looked too good that my hands could not fight the temptation of picking up the fork and knife in oppose to picking up my hp camera, and after a mouth of the juicy heavenly fish that LITERALLY melts in your mouth, that makes your eyes squish,the sides of your mouth unknowingly going up, and your eyebrows lifted, I could not put down the utensils I have in my hands to pick up the cam. Was too busy.
Also, THANK YOU NK and Alice for helping me with my Jap 2!!!! VERY VERY VERY Much appreciated!!! =D
