Spontaneous buy from convenience store. $3.90. For BFFs only. Love.

Best pick of the day: Prawn Linguine in olive oil (okay it had a much nicer Italian sounding name which I can't remember).

The cake in the picture is the famed Sun With Moon's Toufu Cheesecake. It is so damn good. And as usual, I ate quite a bit, along with Claire this time, with spicy pork ramen, gyozas and cheese potatoes!

For dessert, we went to my beloved Nectarie. It was kinda my first time patronising Nectarie at night and therefore, it was really pretty packed. Like obviously. Cause it's Clarke Quay.

Today, I ordered the White Chocolate Pistachio cake and I totally loveeeee it. Yet, the best was Peony Jade, this tea that I ordered because the picture on the menu looked really gorgeous. Can you blame me? There were pretty flowers! (I totally ignored the fine print at the bottom that said, "Pictures are for illustrative purposes only".) Of course, whatever was served (as seen in the above picture), was far from what I would even call, aesthetically pleasing. But trust me, this tea is really fragrant beyond words. Remember, it is called PEONY JADE, and the best tea I have ever had so far. I was so pleased.

Got on the train with Karen and Jason. I think the both of them are really cute. They bicker so much about...I don't know, they just engaged themselves in a perpetual banter.

And guess what. The three of us, while commuting on the much trusted and efficient SMRT, actually saw a rat, YES A FREAKING RAT, scamper across the carriage, underneath the seats opposite us! Karen and I immediately let out bimbotic squeals and held our legs up. We watched the rat scurry to and fro as the other passengers on the train began assuming the position Karen and I were in, legs up. Jason then used his bag to whack the rat. Omg Jason, please remember to sanitise your bag. I was so thankful it was my stop next and I got off the train, waving goodbye to a freaked out Karen and a very calm and cool Jason.

At this moment, with all due respect, I personally feel that this list is not annoying enough and it definitely has the potential to be expanded and be made more annoying.

There are absolutely a great many other words and phrases that people use so excessively, like 24/7 usage, up to the point where it hits someone's tipping point and then receive a snapping remark for that. Two good examples are "literally" and "ironically", which people use so extravagantly, and sometimes, under certain circumstances, misuse, in a bid to sound smarter. Doesn't that make you cringe? It's a nightmare, indeed.

At the end of the day, in my humble opinion, it is essential that each individual remains fairly unique in the way he speaks. He shouldn't of (phonetic contraction of shouldn't have) to be influenced by how the majority speaks, as afterall, it's not rocket science.

I alighted from the bus, walked to Science, bought a Latte (with one sugar) and a ham and cheese sandwich from Spinelli, strolled into my Science lecture, smiled at my charming lecturer who watched me walk in (he smiled back), and got settled on the seat at the front row. And that started my long Tuesday in school.

Please go there only for cakes and tea because their main courses weren't exactly impressive. Look at how happy I was with my Blueberry Cheesecake and you know you should go there only for dessert.

After dinner, we walked all the way to Swissotel, from Takashimaya.

I like this picture (above) very much. Thanks Lover.

Official initiation. From now on, Geok Meng, you are part of us. It is really quite marvelous and at the same time, amazing, how the present totally disregards the past in which relationships are forged.

I learnt today that this fruit is called the Gooseberry. Is it pure coincidence that this is the same word as in the term "play gooseberry"? Or is there a story behind it, as Lover suggested.

Looks good, doesn't it? Please do not be mistaken. The green coloured water cannot be consumed. Only the top part where the ice cream and glutinous rice resided was edible. How deceiving.

We had Bubble Tea at the Koi Cafe (authentic, from Hong Kong) on Kahyin's very strong recommendation. It tasted just like......bubble tea.

Good old Kahyin and her good old antics - She has always loved putting food in the gap between her teeth, and that has never failed to make us laugh.

Red Cross Very Good Friends. We had so many stories together in those four years.

Tuesday, 28 July 2009 - "Do all Malays escape through the window?"

After spending a whole afternoon at Lover's baking and cooking, I rushed down to the Esplanade in the evening to meet Calvin and Sheng to watch the musical comedy, Sing Dollar! To be completely and blatantly honest, I thought it was pretty boring, especially during the first part of the musical comedy. The entire thing was so Singaporean and so expected to the extent that it was a bit dry. After the interval, however, I thought that things had turned for the better. The jokes were much more witty and was kinda subtly loud in addressing the issues and events that took place in Singapore. Oh, and they did a Michael Jackson thing too, which I thought was the most entertaining part of the show. We had supper nearby after the show and headed home.

(A) Meepok Soulmates

Most, if not all, of my Crescent friends would know which is my most favourite meepok stall in Singapore. I have been eating at the Queenstown Meepok Stall since I was very young and have been loving it all these years. It is cheap and good, $2.50 only and comes with 5 fishballs. I haven't eaten there for a good couple of years. So, on this fateful day, I met Zihua and Huiyi to eat our very nostalgic meepok for lunch. Following that, we made our way to Keppel Club for our afternoon swim.

Next up, check this out.

Dear Huiyi, we can so feel your pain. Ouch.

(B) After 9

After 9 doesn't mean after 9p.m. It refers to our reunion after 9 long years. It was certainly kinda heartwarming to see my Primary School friends again. We didn't do much, just hung out, ate takeouts and played stupid games. But I had fun and I am glad we did this.

Saturday 1 August 2009 - The Boyfriend Day

What we ate on Saturday between 3pm to 9pm:

Chicken Rice

Rojak

Fresh Soya Bean Milk with Fried Doughsticks

Ichiban Boshi (A complete set meal and lots of sushi)

My stomach didn't growl a single time.

We went shopping and Weixiang got me a new wallet! ((: Okay, I swear this is so gonna be the last wallet I am going to get in a long time. I promise.

I would use this for at least a year. I would.

I have had all these wonderful moments all in a week and I am so overwhelmed with happiness and love from everyone that my heart is gonna burst!
