thank god THURS has ended!

when i reached home, i was complaining to my mum how tired i was.

8.30-10.30-lecture
10.30-12.30 class
12.30-2 Project Meeting
2.30-4.30- class
4.30-5- Project Meeting

SHAGGED!

then she went ” I am even more tired than you.”
i went HUH.
mum went again ” to make popiah for you today(because i have been craving for it.the traditional kind i ate when i was young.) , i whole day busy. from morning buy the ingredients from peoplepark la & ntuc la to preparing the home-made chilli and the 料 la. i am so tired.”

*touched by mum’s efforts*.

then she rushed off to make one for me. 🙂

it tasted fantastic 🙂

the TONNES of readings are killing.i am very glad that the week has ended. because that means my 311 presentation has ended as well!:) two consecutive 8.30 classes are really making me shagged! 

yesterday i went to maxwell food centre with my parents. we had hokkien mee, yong tau foo, sliced fish soup, claypot rice for two and tau suan! totally satisfying. i think thats how i relieve stress.lol.

and because days are sooo busy now, i finally met jamesydear yesterday! never meet him for almost a week.hugs.

14.08.2008 Thursday

we celebrated sister’s birthday at grandshanghai at grandcorpthorne. the food is really good.been there for quite a couple of times, so aint gonna return back there soon.  after dinner,as if it wasnt enough, we went to buy durians! the whole family loves durians!hahaha.

NEXT.

on national day, we decided to meet up at night and headed to town. canele! jamesy is sooo greedy! we ordered two cakes( one hazelnut and cheesecake i think) plus macarons and a mushroom soup. in the end, me, the glutton, upon seeing how attractive they were looking,i couldnt wait a second and started eating.within secs, i had such a bad headache.sugar rush.

AND last friday, me being a KOREAN food lover, checked out reviews and through my friend’s recommendation, decided to try out togi restaurant at mosque street.

the BEST part is the KIMCHI ARE REFILLABLE!. so jamesy were piling on the ikan billis while me, the kimchis!haha.the service is really good and jamesydear enjoyed the food alot thou he dont really eat korean food. we know we are going to return there very soon again. !:)

wheee.i am BACKKKK. first i have no idea how many kilos i have gained. i am feeling fearful to weigh myself.lol. second nothing really scary happened. the paranoid me was imagining alot of things as usual after hearing stories like ” oh.you know the motocylist will just grab your bag from you when you are walking along the roads.” and all the rumoured ghost stories from genting.hahaha.

we stayed in genting for merely a day but i would say it was v sufficient! my siblings and i were like little kids when we first saw the rides, feeling abit scared. i think the last time we had such rides was like when i was in P3 at the disneylands in USA.( that was also the time when i ballooned ALOT upon returning to singapore after junking on chickens everyday).

my mum is really v cute. she sat through some rides with us.i remembered v clearly during one of the rides when we were all set and ready to go, she said ” can i withdraw now.i want to withdraw already.”HAHAH.

we ate like nobody business. morning was a very sumptious breakfast buffet at our hotel, royale bintang. we would then have a heavy lunch, and then snack alot, followed by another heavy dinner! and supper.  just a mere day in genting i had these: bun, noodles at yongpeng, alot of choc waffers, kenny rogers macaroni with cheese and muffins, cup corn, sweet potato, chicken hor fun, candy floss, baskin robbins icecream and chips! its freaky.

my uncle was like our kl guide. he had been there before and brought us to eat all the yummy food. i am missing the food. the bak kut tea, the heavenly herbal soup and the gui ling gao which we had for three consecutive days in kl.

the shopping in kl is much better as what i have expected. i remembered quite clearly a few years back when i was there, people were wearing like trumpet pants.lol. now its like really much better. i didnt really buy much, just walked walked and see see. and the f21 is 3x the size of that in vivo! at least down here you can try the clothes. but not in bkk. i am starting to think its better than bkk except  that bkk has ctc market.

our hotel is like 5mins walking distance away from main shopping district so it was damn convenient. the whole trip was pure WALKING and walking. imagine after 6-7 hours of walking, we still walked 20mins to chinatown and 20mins back. it was damn torturous on my feet.

4days and three nights just passed by very fast. and it was a fun trip! too bad my sister and dad couldnt be here with us. another time! now left with one more week to school its just nua nua nua. i feel as thou i need alot of alone time to myself and am becoming damn lazy. time to get up and get moving!

the uni peeps met up yesterday evening! feel so silly for being unable to find out where waraku restaurant is at. BLUR me. anyway it was a good meetup, with all the updates here and there. and of course juneeta is leaving for newzealand very soonn. credits for the beautiful card (as seen in the photos) goes to xingyu. she looked really surprised when she saw the card.

well, people often say this ” when you are talking( at that time or earlier on) about a person, he/she may just appear anytime”. how true is that, when we are over at raffles city.

the food was good. after dinner, we were off to the hunt of dessert places, gelare waffles, j.co donuts( they said its nice! i gonna try it one day), japanese ice-cream. and they were all packed.its friday, what to do.haha.

didnt join them for dessert in the end. cause i needed to get home for a cake cutting session for my brother, jojo. i bet he enjoyed himself alot that day. happily smiling away. happily in love i guess.haha.

i find some of the pictures funny.

HAPPY 17TH, JOVIN!

the chocolate fudge cake from jane cake station is really goood!

before cake cutting, jamesy came over to novena mrt to meet me. imagine right after we snapped this photo, we saw a spider hanging in the air RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. and it dont look small at all pls!. totally freaked me out. damn scary.

i am very much looking forward to all these if everything goes well:KL/genting getaway with my family plus jamesy!, my brother birthday bbq or buffet and the chalet which Jamesy gonna book after the PA. if theres no timing clashes

and of course not forgetting the uni peeps class chalet.

talking about birthday parties, my dad wants me to have a 21st birthday party this year.shall see how it goes mans! organising it may be abit troublesome.

finally mon has passed. cant wait for the weekend ! thou its a little too early to say

he likes to listen to hokkien songs!

he likes REDDD. chinese new year is his favourite.

he likes to talk on the phone, which i always ask him to lower his volume especially when i am studying at home.

he’s really thoughtful sometimes. i remember once when he forgot to bring back bread for deslin to eat for breakfast. at night, he actually went to prepare some biscuits and put it into a plastic bag and left it on the table JUST so that my sister is able to have her breakfast.

he is so funny sometimes with his actions.no kidding.

he often loves to call back in the evening and go…” we go eat steamboat? we go try this? we go try that?” hahaha.

i remember him getting so excited to watch my IT project grp video.

he likes things to be neat.and that means he often packs my stuff and mess it!

he works hard for the family and for our future.

BUT his temper is bad at times and irritates us….! but afterall hes stil our dearest dad.

happy fathers day!

i want to remember all these.

introducing to you BAKER JAMESY!

and of course myself BAKER Pauline(lol!),

these are the ingredients we need( not all of those actually!)…!we met up earlier at cold storage to get the ingredients. can you guess what are we baking?

yes, we baked brownies and raisin with almond cookies.(: it was really a fun session with dearest.hahaha.

after baking it was likeee 5plus, andd off we go with my family (excluding my brother and dad) to serangoon gardens.! were deciding between sushi tei or western food at ashton express( my virgin visit was on monday with germaine.the food is good(: ). in the end, we decided on the western food somehow.. hahaha.

since i just got my pay (thou its pretty pathetic!), i treated them. it was a good dinner! and my sister smsed me this after the dinner when we parted ways.i thought it was quite funny.hahah.

its abit blur thouuuu.

finally on FRI, we went to haji lane. we always say we will go there one day and finallyyyyy we did! had a really good dinner! i came here once with the bkk5 gang before. the food is nice…i had black pepper fish fillet while he had chicken chop with mushroom sauce i think. yummy! after dinner, we walked around and took some lame pictures. and thenn home sweet homme!

the family decided to go to udders icecream just opposite starbucks at united square to chill out for a while! they sell home made ice cream which tasted not bad. we had damn strong rum and raisin, chocolate fudge, d24, pistachio, strawberry and ….

classic photo.haha.

well, the family ( except me and my sister) has gone overseas today morning! leaving me and my sister alone at home for 8 days!zzz…the house gonna be so quiet.

so i bought this.. it can really be my breakfast or/and dinner since my new maid cant really cook at all and tabao-ing the usual food is so sian sometimes!hmphh. unless i meet james or my sister cooks.
