first day of school today. met bowwow early at yusof ishak house to have the 2bucks breakfast set before going to med fac. we were commenting that the fact that sch's started feels v unreal. have gotten so used to the freedom and all the fun! nvm i shall look forward to the mid-term break 6 weeks later!
first day of sch was pretty boring. all the introductions. we ended up in the last row. haha~ i fell asleep in the second lecture and last lecture. woopps.
we actually planned to go for yumcha buffet with xiuzhen, muliang etc, but bowwow and i pangseh them last min cos we were both super fat from all the stuff we ate throughout the week.
so bowwow and i ended up going for body massage in chinatown instead. haha we rock. super funny. my first time going for a body massage. i thought massages were supposed to be shiok and comfortable, boy was i wrong. it hurts like crazy. i felt like i was being abused. crammed my mouth shut to keep myself from screaming out loud in pain or scolding vulgarities. at the end of the massage, when the person found out that it was my first time trying body massage, she still praised me for being v pain-tolerant. bleahh. haha~~
anw yesterday was national day. hc130 met up to celebrate it together at suan's house. damian kept saying we are super wuliao. which is quite true la. my project work group is really one of a kind. i mean, which pw grp still meets up, and no less, to celebrate national day tog somemore! but i tink its cool. haha~
we met in bugis first for lunch at where else, miss clarity! haha we tried the black squid ink pasta. also ordered chicken stew and fried dory fish, and we finished off with mudooze!
den we went off to cold storage to buy ingredients to make dinner at suan's house. ger and i were quite apprehensive cos the last time we tried to make dinner together, we failed rather miserably. haha we kept recalling our failed attempt last time. but looking back at it was pretty funny. we decided to make jap sushi this time round, so bought jap rice, cucumber, unagi, crab sticks, mayo, jap vinegar. also bought gyoza and roti prata.
our dinner was a success! in fact we were super efficient. yisheng was a master chef. made the rice, fried the omelette and the unagi. haha! the rest of us helped cut and chop and do other stuff. ger and i spent quite alot of time just contributing eye power. haha!
at 6 plus in the evening we took out all the nicely prepared ingredients and settled in front of the tv to watch the national day parade while we eat our sushi dinner. haha the way we were eating reminded me of those 'popiah' shops where u can 'bao' ur own popiah. we were doing the exacct same thing except tt we were 'baoing' sushi. anw, it was super yummy. i ate 4 big rolls of sushi. we polished everything up. super zai.
our appetizers! boiled gyozas.
super pretty right! our yummy dinner!
quite fun to watch ndp tog with hc130. we stood at attention when they played the national anthem and sang out loud. haha~~ and we could see the fireworks from suan's parents' bedroom! super nice. we just stood at the window and watched the fireworks. den we screamed 'happy birthday singapore' from the window. really siao. haha!!
after the parade ended we had desserts--ah ballin AKA glutinous rice balls AKA GRB AKA tang yuan.
i had to squeeze up the train packed with pple returning from marina bay.
reached home to find that my dad had cooked chilli crabs and left 1 for me. i couldnt resist and ended polishing that up too, even though i alr ate so much. grrr.
