HI everyone! i'm back...common tests' over now n though im dreadin e results, let's not go into it shall we...i noe i sound cheerful n wide awake but actually im like dozin off every sec now...haha...thn y still up?cos don wanna leave my blog stagnant 4 so long lor...ltr others say i nvr utilize my blog...waste his/her efforts...okay, aft all tat digressin wanna noe abt e sumptuous dinner i had??(k, some of u wld say no, i noe, but still...) yum...
you see, my cousin, RUTH, is turning 17 soon (dono d date lar, aiya) so w3 went 2 a restaurant 2 celebrate lorz...it was called 'si4 chuan1 dou4 hua1' restaurant...it was 60 storeys high lor...n u get quite a nice view whn u r tat high up...cld see victoria theatre, the durians, raffles city, spore river, maxwell, suntec, blah blah blah...nice lar...in two words
whn we got there, ard 7, e sun was setting mah...so it was damn nice looking outta d windows...red sun wif clouds n everything...but thn hor...i din bring camera leh...wdh...so wasted rite?hai...now onli wenhao has nice views of clouds n sun lo...hmph....so unfair...anyways, i spent most of my time waitin 4 my couz's family lookin at d scenery n takin stupid pics wif my hp cam...lousy like anything...
k, so my couz came exactly at 7.30...they werent late, i was early...hahaha....see...i can be early onez hor!! then tea was served...those kinda teapots wif loooon9 spouts n a pro china man pouring tea like he was doin acrobatics...haha...was nice but w/o cam, it was borin...(now i noe wad i cant live w/o)...then...the first dish...cold plate...served in a bowl wif 7 partitions...quite cute lar...shaped lyk a flower...they had: seafood salad, sichuan sliced pork, spicy fried beancurd, jellyfish(spicy too), beans, and sth other things . the only complain fr every1 was e sliced pork's very hot...it's not like those kinda instant spicyness but e hotness comes onli in ur throat... ...w.a.t.e.r...help...
the 2nd dish...shark's fin!! with crab meat...very shiok...everyone has their own bowl of shark's fins...ooo...a lot lor...e fins were fan-shaped n there were plenty of fins...imagine d number of sharks tat died...okie...nxt, we had fish...a red shi2 ban1(izzit called a grouper or sth)...the fish meat...wow...smooth n tender like anything...plus it was a bit springy too...very nicee...fresh fish...ahhh, tender white meat...heavenly
nxt, we had not beijing roast duck but another kinda duck...wif mini paos whre u put d thinly sliced duck in wif e sauce...every1 was commentin on how cute d paos look lo...lol...n they asked if d restaurant sold d paos separately...well can u guess how much was 10 of these mini paos?? $2? $5? $10? nah...it wasnt so cheap ....nor was it extremely expensive...though it's still pretty costly...wanna noe?? haha...it's $8 for 10...80 cents each! n they were jus e size of my mp3...aiyo..
so far...every dish had been nice n stil not too spicy 4 my sensitive-to-spicyness tastebuds...n then came the 5th dish...curry seafood...or as they called it san(three) xian(seafood: hai xian)...one was prawn, the other fish n lastly sotong...e prawn was curled up lyk a ball quite cute...d sotong was skillfully cut n carved wif cross patterns...d fish? still fabulous...but thn....d curry...uncontainably spicy...it totally creates hell whn it gets down ur throat...burnin n causin9 every1 2 be fooled by its much-less-spicy initial sensation...even our maid who's an expert in eating hot n spicy food cldnt stand it...much less me...my lips were red n so red tat my mother tot i had ulcers all over my lips...aiyoyoyo....y did they make it so damn spicy.....!!!
plus, d sensation still lingers as we ate our nxt dish...vegetables with abalone...do you noe, whn we swallow d xiao bai cai, i cld feel e hotness arisin in my throat once more...i had 2 control it fr makin me choke lyk our maid did...very hot lar!! oh man...even aft drinkin tea n everything...still had e spicyness in my throat...but luckily, aft this dish...it wasnt so bad le...so we carried on onto our last dish b4 dessert....traditional noodles...gotta say their noodles r nth like those lousy ones we haf at normal restaurants...this wasnt greasy n it was v fragrant...so though we were all quite full le, we cld still finish our noodles...every strand of it...
ah ha...finally dessert...it was xue3 ge2...donno if u've heard of it...but i learnt tat it actually came fr some 'frog' which uses its saliva 2 make it...like bird nest...except it looks lyk small lumps of jelly...very soft n it can just slip down ur throat w/o chewin...e dessert oso consists of lotus seeds, red dates, n longan...d 'soup' or 'syrup' was very sweet...d dessert spoon was very sticky bcos of this...so u noe how fattenin this is...haha...anyway...really enjoy d dinner...n e portion was jus rite...wasnt really bloated but it was fillin9...totally enjoyed e atmosphere n food...even d tea (Eight Treasure Tea) ...hope 2 return there some day...ahh....d bill wasnt too expensive too...$77.57 per person...considerin this was all ala carte very cheap le...lol....jealous not? i had such a scrumptious dinner...jus cause my couz's turnin 17...muahahahahaz

it is simpLy ridiculous!!
havin9 our road run on e same day as our math paper?! siao! to make things woRsE they din tell us d specific time we were gonna run...cause us 2 run jus aft lunch...haiz...pain lorz...
well the math paper wasnt supposed to be that tough i think...but still, with my kinda standards...u noe lar...it jus wasnt tt gd...i took my own sweet time figurin out how 2 do all d qns tt i jus din haf enuff time 4 d ones at d back...my theory was
if i noe i cant answer all d qns (correctly), y not jus concentrate of tryin 2 get as many correct ans i can (despite wastin9 more time)
that was how i worked...well as least it managed 2 calm me down...i was a nervous wreck at e start! even 4got 2 bring my calculator in! fingers crossed now...hope it's at least an E
least i think math was better than GP...totally screwed it =S
back to e road run...so idiotic lar...the sun was scorchin9 hot! not tt i'm exaggeratin but whn i finished e route...my face was...Black...lyk chaotah liddat...so bad lar...but luckily tt was onli temporary...if nt i'd haf turned in2 one indian chinese...lol
and sth else tt i tot was extremely sickenin...e MCs n chers kept on makin announcement 2 ask us 2 go back in2 d parade square aft completin d run...we were terribly tired n dehydrated alreadi lar...yet they still wanted us back in2 d sun whn we've not even rested enuff n hydrated ourselves! heng we're stubborn as mules...din bother abt them till we were shuang 2 go back out in d sun...hahaha...heck them lor...
last but definitely not d last irritatin n idiotic thing they had 2 do was 2 put d finale of O2 aft d run...alreadi so stinky n sticky n tired n cant-wait-to-bathe us had 2 stay on...poor j1s (mayb not so much of them) n j2s ogls...have so much goin on in 1 day...they've so much on their plate...wonder if they were glad or bothered...hmm
jus 2 say tt...wasnt too glad wif everything today...math paper lousy...runnin9 lousy...haiz...wad else...tt's jus life huh? >.<

A for absurd
B for bo liao
C for crazy
D for draining
E for expensive
O for obstruction
F for fretful
the above R jus some thoughts of mine abt exams...ooh do i hate to see pple stressing over exams or mugging like crazy jus 2 get a piece of paper...n to think tt it's due to this piece of paper tt turn us into monsters ---> easily jealous, often selfish, sometimes cunning, and occasionally ruthless creatures.

fighting n rushing to be no. 1 may not be everyone's goal but still, you can nvr deny d pride n glory of beating the rest n be on top of them...even a tie is nvr too gd...an outright victory is wat everyone hopes for... for yrs this competativeness has been encarved in all of us tt now, we feel upset over d slightest margin tt cost us our ToP position n cry because we are 2nd, not 1st.

often, i ponder over matters like wat if the world was jus one big place tt doesnt talk abt money nor authority but jus plain enjoyment n pleasure...wldnt it be better?we wouldnt be fretting over upcoming exams or retrenchment, there wldnt be any more backstabbing or betrayal, n everyone will be coexisting harmoniously w/o much worries or burdens.

Ahh...too bad euthopia will nvr exist...jus like i'll nvr be pleased wif an A2 in chinese while others r gettin 3s or 4s...i mus really apologise 4 those who had to endure d pain of listenin 2 me complain abt my 'bad' results...i noe i made u feel worse than it already is...jus my mistake...sorry pple...(esp 05S18)...

now it's jus a matter of making choices...to try again or to move on...ive gt until fri to decide which actually isnt much time so whoever's out there...can u pls help me by pointin out d right direction? (btw, if i retake means retakin orals too...but the diff between A1 n A2 is two whole marks...plus my other subj arent tt gd so i tot mayb i cld rely on my chi for U admission?)

i think i'm really messed up...my whole life's speedin past in front of me while i'm still so laidback n doin nth to catch up...i really think my heck care attitude is gettin d worse outta me...n i'm so gonna regret this nxt time...however there's like nth out there to make me want to do my studies properly...how? i'm jus one obstinate lazy fellow who wishes to go against anyone who tries to get my gear runnin...hopeless~

askin 4 help yet knowin help isnt gonna do much good...but in d 1st place, is there anyone willing n able to help???
