Chinatown CNY Bazaar

Today was really a hot sunny day!!! Phew..
Gone to the Chinatown CNY Bazaar today and I haven't been sweating so much... The scorching sun really made me thirsty...(bought a sea coconut to quench my thirst)

There was indeed a crowd. Every street and corner was packed with sea of people. No doubt that the atmosphere was filled with CNY celebration. There seems to be more stalls being set up this year than last year. But still... same old things are being sold.. haha

Bought nothing much, just 3 new cushion covers for CNY.

These are the pictures snapped along the streets of Chinatown.

Steamboat with Japanese and Indonesian

In the afternoon at about 3p.m, my bf and I was at the Carrefour@P.S. We were shopping for some food for the steamboat tonight. Bought a packet of crab meat, a few bottles of alcoholic drinks for the guests and tortilla chips with salsa sauce for myself . We didn't buy much stuff cos we found out that bf's dad had bought most of the ingredients already.

Headed to Tampines to meet an Indonesian friend, Lenny. She's very friendly and chatty. :) She's really a nice person to talk to and I'm very impressed with her command of English. Oh ya.. not to forget another Indonesian friend (ops,..forgotten his name but he's friend of Lenny). He's a bit shy but can see that he's a very sincere and honest person. We chatted at a coffee shop for a while before we set off to SengKang (Bf's place).

SengKang was really far.... as usual, I grumbled about the long journy along the way on the bus, LRT... Only Lenny was with us and the long journey gave me the opportunity to get to know her better.

Finally, reached Sengkang MRT station and met two Japanese friends, Yosuke and Takako. 5 of us headed off to my bf's place happily. Takako is sweet and cute and I know something about her... She likes to laugh. :) She definitely has the gentleness of a typical Japanese lady.

We reached bf's house at about 630pm. Only after 15 mins, another Japanese cool guy, Kenichi, arrived. He was very tired cos he hasn't been sleeping for the last 25 hrs. He has grown darker ever since I last saw him.

Yeh... We started the steamboat and there's a lot of food/ingredient. It's "Ooishi" and "Bagus"!!!

Took a couple of photos after the steamboat and ice-cream and here is one of them:

At about 11pm, we left bf's house in a Taxi.

Hope that Lenny will take care of herself in her new student exchange programme here in NUS. and hope that Yosuke will finish his Master with flying colours and Takako will not miss her home at Japan too much.. Also wish that Kenichi had a good night sleep.

60 Months

Early in the afternoon, I went to get my hair cut at a salon near my house. After a long wait for my turn, I got my hair cut short till my jawline and the hairstyle is somewhat like a bob.

With my new haircut, I met my boyfriend at Orchard MRT station. To celebrate our 5th year of dating with each other, we decided to have our early dinner at Coffee Club at Takashimaya.

The dinner was sumptuous. There were Garlic Prawn Pasta, Pork Ribs with Wedges, Seafood Pilaf and Triple Choc with Vanilla Ice Cream for dessert. The Pork ribs was quite a big portion and the wedges were crispy and fleshy. The prawns were crunchy and fresh. Yummy.... Both of us had an enjoyable dinner.

Just before we foot the bill, my boyfriend gave me a surprise. He handed out a pink wrapped present from his bag. After a few wrong guesses, I unwrapped the present eagarly and to my delight, it was the necklace that I saw at Bugis Junction!

I was happy but at the same time felt remorseful that I didn't get anything for him. I'll get a present for him on Valentine's Day but what to get for him?!?! Headache....

Timetable Clash

Went to school for only 2 hrs for music lesson. Found out from the tutor that one of the music lessons timing clashes with my Econs lesson. Emailed the situation to the Course-coodinator already. Hope he'll will return reply soon.

Tomorrow will be a hectic day because lessons ends at 7.30pm!!!

School Reopens

School reopens today after the holidays. As usual, it bounds to rain during the first day of school. Woke up early at about 6.45a.m. Felt sleepy and cold the moment I got out of bed.

Had an IT lesson today at about 8.30a.m. The tutor is very friendly and seems like a nice person. We were briefed that we will be writing our reflections of what we have learnt during each week on our blog page. Sounds interesting and unique, isn't it?

The blackboard and portal is still down..... :( This means that I won't be able to check my timetable again and also won't be able to know when and where my tutorials are. Was worried until an hour ago when I managed to get some little clues to where and when to attend my tutorials.

Cooked Spaghetti Today

I had diarrohea this morning but was ok after breakfast :0)

Cooked spaghetti for lunch today....

and this was how it looks:

Not bad huh?

Sinful Lunch and dinner

At about 1.30pm, I went to Tiong Bahru Plaza with my mom and sis and we saw Fann Wong and Kym Ng standing on a makeshift stage at the Central Concourse near UOB. As the ambassadors of New Moon Abolone, they were there to attend the New Moon & Mili Giveaway. Both stars also played a part in donating cash to Ren Ci Hospital by catching pieces of golden wrappers. For every piece of golden wrapper caught, $1000 cash would be donated. Fann's and Kym's efforts contributed $20,000 altogether.

In the mid-afternoon, I went to Seoul Garden@Bugis to have lunch and dinner with my bf. Although we felt quite sinful after eating, it was fun barbequing the meat and cooking the tom yam soup.

After the meal, went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to watch Kungfu Hustle, starring Stephen Chow. The show failed to meet my expectations. To my disappointment, it was not very funny and I only laughed a little at certain scenes. Found the show was rather crappy and the fighting scenes were copied from Matrix. Regretted watching the show.

Had a little supper after the show at Tiong Bahru Market. My bf and I decided to try the fried oyster found in a new stall. It was quite delicious and the oyster were juicy. My bf felt guilty of eating so much sinful food, he ordered a cup of chinese tea so that we can wash away all the fats. I know it's just a lame excuse *haha*...
Will try not to eat so much for this week.
