One Year Old

This blog, that is...

Anyway, i had wanted to post this on the exact one-year anniversary, but alas, much work and sleep made that an all-too-distant dream...

But in any case, updates, updates...

Sze-li's back! For just a week and a half though, but still better than nothing... Her arrival proved the perfect opportunity for a couple of much-needed reunion respites from school...

Saturday together with Renshao it was laksa at where else but katong, followed by or luak, char kway teow and rojak at marine parade. Of course, do note that all four of the aforementioned dishes contain, apart from copious amounts of oil and fat, other stuff that i do not eat: in running order - prawns and hum, oysters, prawns and hum again, gooey brown prawn paste. Managed to convince myself to eat the non-prawn portions of the food (therefore rojak inedible cos the gross prawn paste smothers everything...), not bad lah, but the hum and oyster still tasted too fishy for my liking... And to top it all off, there were durians (which again, i don't eat, though i did eat the mangosteens though - and they weren't too bad - which means that i've found an exception to my don't-eat-local-fruits rule) All in all was a really great time of catching up =)

Sunday together with a couple of 2AD1 pple [Daph (+ bf), Winnie, Zhimin] we went to esplanade gluttons bay where we had expensive stingray ($15!) and overpriced kangkong ($10!). Food ok lah, nothing spectacular, what was better was the chance to catch up with some class people whom i've barely seen since 2001 (can't believe that i took my A levels five years ago... that's getting old for you..) and recall some of the silly and farny things that went on back then... For all the issues that i have with the school, there indeed still are many parts of it that i miss...

The past two days were coincidental/bump-into-people/it's-a-small-world days for me.

Yesterday while chiong-ing project (or at least maintaining a semblance of so doing) in the canteen saw my namesake at another table and said hi, only to realise that the person sitting opposite him was an ex-choir junior whom i had hardly talked to or seen in five years but whom i still recognised off the bat (and she me too)...

Also, over a 24-hour time period starting from last evening saw the same guy who's also going to UNC next sem three times, which is quite coincedental given how i had never seen him before this in school since we met...

While with Eunice on two seperate occasions yesterday and today at kent ridge terminal and business canteen we at both times bumped into frens and rong-er (a.k.a. Adrian and Alicia) which was quite farny and freaky i must say...

And while talking about Mei Si with Eunice, who else should appear walking past us but Ms *what* herself...

Furthermore, Eunice's friend's friend turned out to be another choir junior i know...

Well, got back the wheel to web test, was the worst marks i've gotten for any assessed piece this sem, but (as testament to God's goodness) still rather reasonable a mark to begin with (67). Just hope and pray that my results-centered self doesn't rear its ugly head again...

Have only one more assignment to clear, due on the 13th, but i hope to do it by this week, so that hopefully my shoe bag can start carrying shoes again...

Exercise!

(and i realise the irony but heck lah) Try eating this: it's really good *licks lips* (available at the co-op)

Oh, and while we're on the topic of sweet indulgences, this is good stuff too, though you have to go to the states to get it...
