Arts Canteen

The arts canteen deserves two thumbs up for its new design. It is as spacious as it is airy. Because of the extremely high ceiling, ventilation is no longer an issue. Food is good although my trying of two stores is not a good representation of the quality of food for the rest. The Laska is great, the omph is there and it is very spicy! Oh...did I mention Burger King? Gone are the days of suffocating, butts-brushing, perspiration-inducing dining experience at the canteen.

With so many changes, what remains essentially the same is people-watching! Arts canteen is where you find inspiration to your next day's dressing. Make-up, eye-shadows, lipsticks, the chic expensive-looking oversized hangbags are must-haves for the ladies; almost a criteria for eating at the arts canteen. Anything less will be scorned at and visually berated. For guys, well, anything goes! Who really cares what the guys wear?

No Money!!!

Went queensway to get my rackets restrung just only. Bought a dampener and went back hall to play tennis... It seems that besides school, my life revolves ard tennis and tuition. The usual suspects from hall plus Joofee and Alex and two unknowns who happened to be using the court before us played. Got to say it was not much fanfare for today's session although Alex and I partnered to edge out a 6-3 win over the 2 unknowns. Not my credit but Alex's since his serve was on form.

Strange that my life no longer revolves ard my family. Even if I weren't in hall, I hardly get to see my parents and brother. Not that I really have to see them, but it's no longer the same. Anyway, had a simple dinner to celebrate my mum's close-to-sixtieth birthday earlier in the week. Ate at Guan Seng restaurant at Potong Pasir at some ulu void deck. Recommendation? Nah...normal lar...though it was featured as S'pore's top 50 restaurants by some internet food something something which I cannot recall. And tt reminds me tt I haf to pay my bro for the meal...damnit! Really broke...

To add on to my misery, I still hafven thought of what to wear to CheSS DnD which is on 1st Sept. It's abt a week away...taking away the obscenely amount of time spent preparing for lessons, it's more or less no time....plus.....more money to be spent.... somebody pls dial 1800-save-JL to donate...

Food for the soul

Scallops Galore

Everything Pork and Chicken

Muddy Mud Pie, Ben & Jerry

Met up with Tab, Dickson, Dawn and Ket last friday for Dickson's farewell dinner. We indulged ourselves at the Imperial Treasure Teochew Restaurant at Taka Level 4. Setting and ambience were not bad except for the pesty waitress who kept hurrying us for our orders. Food was great albeit too oily. $30 per person was considerably reasonable. After dinner, we adjourned to Ben and Jerry's at Paragon to chill out. My muddy mud pie was a tad too muddy for my likely. Guanting joined us at B&J. A simple get-together is a good way to end the school week.

Poor Poorer Poorerer Poorererer

$4000 and counting....lost....at least paper lost...heartache...but it is part and parcel of taking risk...

Losing Money

Wow lao! These 2 weeks the stock market is totally crap! America's mortage loan crisis has spilled over to the rest of the world. It's making me lose money like nobody's business lar. Hopefully, recession has not arrived earlier than expected. It has been forecasted to be in 2009. Is it the start of something terrible? Hope not...

Anyway, it's been a week since school started. Lessons are alrite so far...quite slack in fact. Alot of bizaars...n milo trucks! yay..shiokadiasy..
Lab is stupid lar...the TA don't even know what we are doing...confused us even more and he just pretended to know when he obviously don't and his smoking skills are terrible. He keeps insisting that we do it next week becoz by then, another TA would have taken over...Slacker!

SomeBody's 21st !

Happy Birthday SomeBody

DKNY copper-brown; a watch of elegance and grandeur

ShanBing turns 21 today, so did Adeline some 4months back. Sherly also turned 21 on the 13th. A significant milestone for all. But why 21? One wonders... So what does turning 21 mean? The transition from adolescence into adulthood. The right to vote in our almost ceremonial elections. The entry into the adult movie industry( i mean as audience and not participant).

LoO00ooOoOoo00oOOoooOOooO00ooOOo0oking back ...

Was outing shopping for SomeBody's birthday prezzie yesterdae with Yimin and Adeline. Bingxiang was supposed to join us but could only join us later as he had something to do. Anyway, we went ahead to pry each and every watch shops around Orchard. There were some restrictions like budget and design.

Being the self-proclaimed 'good-taste' person, I had to QC what the 2 girls chose. Some watches were nice but 'below' budget. While we had to work within our budget, we also did not want to appear han suan. Finally, after combing every watch shops in Orchard, a copper-brown classic-looking watch caught my attention. It sat inconspicuously between 2 loud time-tellers. I knew immediately that we looked no further. THAT was the one! The sales lady placed it next to our previous shortlisted watches and we did not hesitate to eliminate all the rest.

Yimin and Adeline were dumbfounded by the style and uniqueness exuding from the watch. I could tell that they wanted one themselves but were too shy to admit. However, hips don't lie....so they started to shake their hips ala Ricky Martin's Shake your Bon Bon, strongly betraying their desires. hahaha---> all these weren't true lar.

What really happened was that they too agreed that it was the most beautiful and suitable watch that we have came across. We waited for Bingxiang to pick up the tab of $8752 before splitting.
