Pasta de Waraku
Tried the Chicken and Mushroom pasta in tomato cream sauce. Dunno if my taste buds are affected by my current state of well-being... but the tomato cream sauce does not taste anything like tomato nor cream sauce. Argh! So much for being adventurous! i had thought the "japanese style original tomato & cream sauce" would be impressive... well, next time i shall stick to the item that has the biggest photo in the menu! :P
Lust Caution
i simply do not understand the hype behind this show. finally caught the uncensored version but frankly the only talking point of this movie are the 3 controversial roams in the bed between the 2 leads and i think that's all to this movie. zit! it is THAT bad... i think it would not make any difference if the world did not have a frontal view of the leads' assets and all that acrobats. even the good acting of tang wei cannot redeem the weak and flimsy plot.
ok, some gossip! the diamonds in the show are supposedly real and the ooh-so-gorgeous! 6-carats pink diamond ring is from cartier! OMG!

Lost & Found
I found the fish soup that i drank almost everyday for 2 weeks during my IA!! It is still there after all these years!! (hehe. not going to say how long since then!) Not that it was lost before but i had not come to this hawker centre after that 2 wks of IA. it survived the construction around it and the renovation of the food centre. And it is still at the exact same spot! i think the standard has dropped a little but it sure brings back memories!
Fish soup @ Seah Im food centre
Dun ask me the stall name cos i dun know. i know the stall location and that's the most important part, isn't it? \(^o^)/

MOS - Of Porridge & Milo
2147hrs - At home after my shower
I saw this msn chat box from AL. (not the exact words but something to the effect)
AL: are you there? YS asking wanna go St. James.
Me: what! now!?
AL: meet at 11?
2335hrs - Starbucks @ The Central
Feeling thirsty and hungry so ordered a bottled pomelo drink and chocolate muffin to start off the night.
Pomelo drink - so-so
Chocolate muffin - yucks! not sure if they gave me the wrong muffin cos it tasted like banana muffin instead. left it after 3 bites.
0010hrs - MOS
We still need to queue at this unearthly hour!? The queue moved quite fast but we were not asked to check ICs... sob sob... :P surprisingly the place was relatively empty except for Smoove. after a tour of the place and our 1st drink, we settled at 54, boogie-ing to the house disco and retro mix.
0245hrs - Toilet break and 2nd drink

i'm-too-tired-i-can't-think-of-a-title post
Went for k-dinner for the first time. Not a very nice experience for the tummy... esp after eating and trying to exert the "dan dian" to sing. can feel the food being pushed up till the throat...
As the night is still young, we went for TWO cuppas. Really a cuppa too many... Teh tarik + Starbucks Peppermint Frappucino certainly did not go well together in my tummy. Went home with a super bloated tummy... i'm so tired but can't sleep with gas in my throat. i really envy my bro who can burp at will. i usually would wait till it goes naturally or do the baby thing - pat my back or front to induce burping but i think i would do a merlion if i were to do that now... so i would just have to wait... =_=
Being the lone ranger in the west, i always get the first cab home. Usually i would get the slient cab driver but today's cab driver is the super-long-winded-and-speaks-with-a-super-slow-tone-that-makes-you-wanna-go-to-sleep kind. There's something in his tone and manner that i find very familiar. I was caught red-handed squinting my eyes in the darkness to read the cab driver's name pasted on the wind screen. We realised that we used to work in the same site. He then began recounting his cab driving tales and drove at a crawling speed (considering how cab drivers like to cruise like they were Lewis Hamilton) and to my horror of horrors, even turned round to confirm that it is me!! Not exactly my favourite person at that time but hey, he gave me a discount on my cab fare. what can i complain about?? :P

On The Nalanda Trail
Dance class is cancelled yet again... looks like we are not fated to have the intermediate class... :(
so YZ and I decided to visit ACM instead. For your information, admission charges on Fri evenings are at half price. The downside is that it is during 7-9pm only which is really too short a time if you were to look at all the exhibits at a leisurely pace.
We always have time for the special events only (hmm... which is why we went to the museum anyway). But i'm sure the standing exhibits are worth a look as well. (perhaps we should make a visit back again some day...) After viewing the exhibition, I realised that I really do not have any understanding of Buddhism at all... i think i would have enjoyed the exhibition more if i did.
On The Nalanda Trail: Buddhism in India, China and Southeast Asia is on from 02 Nov 2007 - 23 Mar 2008.

This must be my busiest week so far at work. Meetings and discussions for past 3 days all day long! Even my colleague also mentioned that she never see me so busy till no time to msn before! lol.

i'm so grateful that this is a short work week! happy deepavali to me! v(^-^)v

卒業した!! (そつぎょうした)
いよいよ... 最後の授業になりました...
For those who had known me for some time would know that it has been my routine to attend jap class every week for the past 6 years! gasp! it is that long!
This year is very special as i had mentioned before... there's no exams. correction... there's exam but there is no cert given so it makes no diff if you pass or not. so this is the first time that i'm so relaxed during test time! hehe.
last lesson today... some of my classmates are continuing next year (i.e. they are retaking our SA class)... wonder if i shld do that too...?? if 先生 is still 米倉先生 and if the format is about the same as this semester... i dun mind... but thought of picking up some new hobby too...
よく考えて!

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert
Went to this dessert stall for dessert (what else! :P) It's just further down the street from the vegetarian stall. Funny, my mum and aunties would go to Chinatown every alternate week but they only discovered this stall today!
I had the Mango with pomelo and sago ($3.50). It's good! There's a lot of mango cubes. But somehow my heart still goes to Ah Chew's as it was there that i first discovered this dessert!
My aunt said the Cantonese dumpling ($3.50) was nice so we ordered one to share. It was HUGE! just nice for the 5 of us to share! hehe... the dumpling was generously packed with mushrooms, beans, pork, dried shrimps and salted egg yolk. Quite good.
Next time i shall try the pastes and the steam egg and milk!

Vegetarian Hor Fun
Had lunch at a small eatery along Temple Street. Didn't take note of the name of the place but I know the directions! hehe... Just wanted to write down that I like the vegetarian hor fun here. Got lots of "liao". :) Shared a plate with my mummy cos we had a late breakfast.
