Weird MEET camp-induced sleeping practice manifested itself today. After sleeping before midnight for the first time in a long time yesterday, today i somehow woke up at fivish in the morning, just moments before an sms came in. I replied immediately and the sender was surprised that i could have been awake at that hour. Well anyway after that i went back to sleep and woke up at around ten. At the end of any camp, my sleeping duration and time gets rather loopy...
Had to head out around twelvish so had only a short time to try and put in any advanced bids in the inaugural round of the latest session of the confusing and overtly ridiculous system. But the whole thing just made me more unsure of what modules to take, mainly because of timetables unfavourable to me. Almost every module that i've considered at has an exam on either the 26th or 27th of April, and many of the cool history modules are now not so cool anymore because they either have a May exam date, an 8am class, or a group project... I know i ought to not be sooo fussy but... *sigh* But in the end i only placed bids for one history and one el module, cos i had no more time to decide before i had to leave. Well, we'll see how the next round goes, hopefully will have time to consider and pray carefully about what modules to do...
Brought my cousin and nephew to Sim Lim Square so that the latter could buy computer stuff. As far as i can recall, this was the first time ever that i stepped into the building, since i know nuts about computers (yes, even after taking and passing intro to computing - the best i could do was recognise that one shop was displaying a $40 motherboard). And boy is the numbering system of the units there confusing. Hence the title of the post (i somehow recognised that the chinese characters outside the building are for shen1 ling2 - forest in Mandarin - three "mu"s followed by two "mu"s)
After that brought them to Mustafa Centre. They were selling Mind Your Language DVDs! All the episodes furthermore... But it's sold by the season, each of which costs $26, and there are at least 5 seasons... Aiming to purchase all the eleven seasons of Frasier already has set me back by quite a fair bit, so shall refrain from buying any more tv show box sets if i can help it... They also had a wide array of chocs (with nuts and without) on display, but pity about the uncheap price. Anyway, Christmas has bestowed upon my family many many different varieties of chocs as gifts, which is why you will see me bringing chocs around to every suitable gathering from now on, and offering them at liberty to anyone who visits the house...
Later on Auntie Joan brought us to Ka Soh to eat. Now, i am hardly one for seafood, as i am sure you, the reader can probably attest to. So i was quite surprised with myself today, cos managed to down one whole piece of har cheong kai before the prawn paste smell overwhelmed me and i had to stop before puking. Also managed to consume the fish head bee hoon, even the soup (cos it was really good), since i normally don't like the milky soup cos it makes me imagine that the cloudy nature of the soup comes from the brain juices of the fish instead... The horrible ginger and the fishiness of the fish didn't really get to me either, although i did have to meticulously remove the skin of the fish before eating it, cos it just made me feel sick. The most intriguing food of the night? A sauce plate of a food item placed on the table next to the red and green chilli. Filled with nothing but very deep fried pork belly fat. Very very deep fried. To the extent that the fat basically slurped up all the oil that it had been fried in... The stuff you find in mee pok is practically diet food in comparison. As Frasier Crane once said, i can almost hear my left ventricle slamming shut as i speak... Took a few choice morsels to taste though, and boy was it good...
Decided to go for IBS after all tomorrow. Hope that i can wake up...
