Stefy's Orange County

I have been hearing this since my Vienna days when on a trip to Dublin, Samantha introduced me to the wonderful world of itunes radio and this sone Orange County by Stefy is juat damn addictive...so go to youtube and search for this song...I rpomise you its a great soooooothing melody.

All Bout' Singapore

People often ask me how my place is? What the hell do we do? Where on earth is the place I have been living in for the past 20 years? Well, I chanced upon this really great NY Times article that will explain everything:

another feast

it's friday today and after 2 gruelling weeks of chaotic and madness in school, i finally have something to look forward to: dinner with Kiyo, Stevie and Jos! From 8pm till 1am, I was able to relax, and actually feel some nice warmth with my pals, which kindda makes me miss all my pals away on exchange now like Ivy, JR and Samantha, AND all those great friends I made while on exchange, Whitney, Mindy, Montse, Kevin, Cha, Mook, Fon, and of course, French folks AND ROB! haha...

Anyway, we met at Plaza Singapura and went to this Chinese restaurent called Lao Beijing, which meant Old Beijing. It is essentially a Choinese restaurent serving great old authentic Beijing fare in a rustic setting with interior mocked up to remind one to be in...Beijing! haha...but anyways, ther're tons of Westerners there (read: non Asians) and so, I think the food is really very good since it transcends, erm...nationalities? haha...but the food is really good and we had a plate of Fried Rice with Seafood, Spicy Beancurd (Tofu) with Seafood on hotplate, Steamed Juicy Meat Dumplings, Fried Dumplings with prawns and pork, AND Porkribs in Claypot. Satisfied meal and we decided to hop over to Cafe Cartel for some desserts.




We decided to get this ice cream platter thingy that serves 4, which is perfect! There's 8 scoopes of ice creams and cookies with whipped cream (which all of you know combines together to make up my favourite food item) Man! the ice cream platter was huge! It's served in this deep dish baking dish and a despite gorging up a Chinese feast earlier on, we 4 were still able to finish all that up! Josephine even ordered a seperate banana boat for herself! That woman can eat! And! Us 3 boys got something to drink too! Kiyo and Stevie got themselves iced choco and I settled for a nice White Choco Latte...My tummy is still farking bloated now!

Taken with Kiyo's Nokia camera phone...


Sony Ericsson's better huh? haha...look at all the cookies! Yummy!


They thoought it'll be a great idea to have all spoons in my direction...Haha, they just can't wait to see me swallow (no that swallow!haha) all that up!




My Latte


Halfway through the ice cream...full...full...fullllllllll


Well, this woman obviously can eat more!haha...


Finally finished all those ice cream! Noticed the untouched Latte?? haha

Gluttons Pig Out at Ben and Jerrys

Gourmet Club from campus held a Ben and Jerrys Dinner 'Buffet' (cos it only had 3 items served to us and it's not free flow, i should have read between the lines in the mailer!) and on the menu was chocolate coated hearts filled with Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream, Waffle with 4 mini scoopes of ice cream in dunno-what flavours, and lastly, 4 miserable tiny brownies with, wait, there was not any other thing that goes with the brownies.

Actually, it was kindda worth it for the cheap cheap bargain price of 10 bucks (5 euros) and of course, the company i was with makes a difference! haha...So, in between gossiping about project groups mates and commenting on the atrocious band that was jamming there, we managed to take some snapshots...


Sheryl with her unique tee that has her name...And she permed her hair! Ain't she lovely with those gorgeous curls?



K.S and me...with a pillow that I wonder how many butts and hands have carressed over it...


Guess who?


K.S and Kenneth, the ex president of Gourment Club, and it's thanks to him and his connections that we managed to get places for this event cos' there're only 20 places available!


This is so funny. Next to B&J's there's this waxing parlour call Strip (How aptly named) and they had like a series of 3 posters splashed across it's display along the walkway of the mall...one of them is this and I just cannot help but feel so tickled by it! Look at the tagline!


Sheryl's genius idea...not that I am complaining...

Newater plant visit

No...that's not the dancefloor of some club, but rather, a feature in the Newater plant (Newater is essentially the nicer term the government coined up for recycled water). Part of the 'fun' things to do for Intro to Physical Science class is this trip to the plant where they showcased the processes of membrane technology...blah blah blah...all scientific which explains my lack of interest...untill this cool floor feature...



Anyways, I had to go back to school today, on a Saturday no less, and joined the other 2 classes for this exciting excursion. The last time I went along for an excursion with my school, I had not even reached my legal drinking age of 18...Well, at least i had the company of Lauren, her lil sis Lenise (we're all taking the same course together) and while at school, chanced upon Jaslyn, who went to Dublin for exchange and was the nice soul who showed me around Dublin and toured the Guiness Factory. Jas and I were talking about how sucky this plant is because we do not locate any free alcoholic beverage being served, like Guiness Factory in Dublin. Well, at least they have recycled water that is supposedly of an extremely good drinking quality. Enuff of rants, better get back to my revision on Corporate Reporting as the test is coming on Monday!

Poolside brunch for exchane returnees

The friendly folks at Office of International Relations held a high-tea gathering session for all exchange returnees and the incoming exchange students in SMU this afternoon and needless to say, I was there too! Especially more so since I just finished my presentation for International Economics earlier on, and I even brought along my shorts and polo tee to change into after the presentation (where I was clad stiffly in jeans and shirt)!

Saw so many friends there and it was really funny that none of the incoming exchange students actually turned up, Elise and I reckoned that they should be travellling since its' friday so they must be soaking up the sun and beaches in nearby malaysia. thailand or whatever island/tropical beach resort. Man! we need a great holiday to destress and relax too cos school's taking its toil on all of us :( So we three were busy with conversation that largely revolved around great tropical holiday villas and infinate pool (swimming pool with a view that stretches over into the ocean so u feel like you are swimming in the ocean)


me, elise and huiling!


me and sheryl, my project mate from international econs who's famished after the class, so i told her to be tina and gatecrash the party. haha...


the 2 lovelies...
