i’m so disappointed by crystal jade tonight!
going to boycott them!
their standard of food had went down terribly
when the xiaolongbao came, i immediately took a bite cos’ i was getting hungry
there was no gravy to suck at all!
i thought, probably the xiaolongbao bursted… and gave it a second chance
yx picked another one and… there was a hole in the skin!!
whatever juice already leak off!
and then what is the point of eating xiaolongbao?!
went to examine the rest, only 2 are ok
so i requested to change lah of course
the person who came back to serve us the new xiaolongbaos told us to eat while it’s hot, if not will have no gravy
-.-”’
hello!~ if the skin of the xiaolongbao is not broken, the gravy will not be gone no matter how cold they become!
the new ones are no better… super disappointed!
i would have gone for tingtaifung if JP has one
at least their standard has not deteriorated that much…
and no wonder the crystal jade at JP dont have a queue or crowd anymore
it’s only 70% full
it used to be super crowded and have a waiting time of 10-20mins at dinner time
anyway, i kinda know what phone i want to buy already!
waiting for the price to drop below $300
and the mickey mouse and pluto is super nice lah!
if only they were on sale…
had my first paper today
i dont know how well or bad i fare
keep being paranoid that i wont be able to graduate
confidence crisis???
to that i dont even dare to peek at the macro project grade (i know we fared badly… that’s for sure)
i admit i was kinda addicted to the laptop last week
but i vowed that i wont watch anything on youtube or anywhere until next thurs!
and i’m just going to do that!!
pary for me everyone
the night of 14feb08 is incredibly crazy
it has been long since i had so much fun
just getting loud and silly with a large group of girls
who says v-day must be spent with the other half?
reminded me how much i love singlehood
i guess somehow or other
we are starting to appreciate each other more
and treasuring our friendship
quite unbelievable we have been classmates for almost 4 years already
with the last semester going into the second half
ok, alice’s family is a great host (as usual)
tons of good food to fatten us up
all ideas of diet disappeared

apart from the normal bbq stuff, we had…
the lala that me, yl & alice loved
curry squid
cheese mushrooms
stingray, which for some reason, was super over-cooked
耨米饭 and garlic prawn cooked by auntie

special fruit punch recipe from alice – sprite + beer + orange squash
(we are simply a bunch of drunkies!)
and the super super fragrant marshmallows – campfire brand
oh, and i realised i can roast marshmallow really well!
of course kudos to the good bbq fire that we had

getting super high from the bbq

we had yu-sheng as well
never had such a big one in my life!
topped with delicacies like abalone
we did the lao yu-sheng thingy on a table! how cool is that!

yumseng for our friendship
super noisy bunch we were
bailey’s tasted super yucky that particular night
but beer tasted especially good after bailey’s

shihui brought some masks with her
and that got us all excited!
doing all sorts of stupid things with the masks

and super happy with the gift from shihui & april
the chocolates, the sweets and the clip with our initials

love this picture
i feel like a queen when i took it hahahhaha
but i dont know if we are getting old
or simply that everyone had a long day that day
alarmed that we were darn tired at 10.15pm
only!!
lamented at the fact that we used to be able to party till 12am
and 不痛不痒
i told alice the next day that 14feb was so fabulous
and that 15feb was back to reality
stayed in school to do regression (and with super lousy, unexplainable, questionable results)
and i wished everyday was like 14feb
‘escapism’ was her reply
hmm escapism
a good one

pre-valentine day gift!
dear decided to surprise me by baking cookies for me =)

ehh burnt! i didnt watch the fire opps
in fact, we made more than 2 jars
yes, i know the shape of the cookies are not nice
but effort counts!
the wise one knows that he will be very very busy for the next few weeks
and therefore decided to treat me nicer now hahahaha
next time shall bake dear’s fave – double choco!
yup, i smelled like an orange half the day today
new kind of perfume?
hhahahhahaha
we might be getting a lot of that stuff later on
yesterday was friday
rocky pizza at sunset way =)
LOVE the food there
pizza was cheesy enough, but yet NOT salty
the wise one liked the crust
and i like the baked parmesan chicken
long walk at sunset way
the wise one showed me the unused rail road
and entertained me with his super juicy gossip
effort to accompany me even though he slept at 2am the day before
who says that meeting 1 evening per week will result in distance?
i think i just love the space that i’m getting
tuesday was badminton day
week THREE!! but coming week likely not playing
but meeting partner =)
so sadz that we are not taking any common class now
anyway, that day they just keep laughing at me
cos’ i have a 死角 on the court
they just keep hitting the damn ball there
*haiz* badminton is suppose to be fun, and not that draining
chalet committee meeting
well, it is gonna be very DIFFERENT this time round
so pls try to come =)
and now… let’s guess the 3 most hated letter in my dictionary now
… think no need to guess le
to keep the story short, we are on a rewind mode
i just dont want to rewind till we end up on a square hahahahha
yesterday was a particularly long day
first, the 930am breakfast became a 1030 affair
was waiting and waiting and waiting
but still thanks for the effort =)
altho the milk tea really sucks
at astro lecture, i dont understand a single thing
just dont let me fail this module
hurried down to toa payoh
i reached tpy in record time from school – 1h 15mins… by bus!!
took 5 different buses to reach there
what an achievement =)
first round of dinner at crystral jade with wenz, joy and hq
food wasnt fantastic
over-anticipated the prawn sauce chicken wings, and hence it tasted so-so to me
but our dear hq liked it so much that she order a second plate
after like 15mins of deliberations and a dozens of stares from us hahhaha
sadly to say, she never got to eat the second plate
cos’ the service simply took too long and we jus cancel the order
joy and hq was replaced by boyfriend at 8pm
we accompanied him for dinner at burger king
where i had my dessert – hersey’s chocolate pie
wah, the 卖相 is horrible, but heng the taste is still as good
though i find it too sweet for my liking
then we waited forever for bacteria kim to show up
dunno he lost his way or what
wanted to drive to somewhere else, but didnt want to waste his per entry parking
so ended up for third round of dinner – at swensens!
and on the way me and boyfriend simply ignore the crazy cries of gg ktv
had earthquake
guess what boyfriend is doing??
and the swensen’s banana split ice-cream is pink in colour!
bacteria was the only one who liked it
stayed till the waiters were all like waiting for us to leave so that they can go home
what a night of waiting and eating!
3 rounds!! all the badminton sessions and running are in vain *haiz*
but so happy to meet up with the guys =)
oh, and i bought hello kitty uno at $2 =)
super cute de lah
bacteria tried to buy it from me at $3 hahaha
sometimes, it’s just nice to meet up
even though only for that 1 to 2 hours
i went home a happy girl =)
p/s: my day ended doing mask with wenz, and i gave up waiting for her to go sleep
we kinda celebrated new year by having steamboat at my house
my house is seriously deficit in lots of things, like utensils
so i asked them to bring their own!
and not disposables cos’ it’s not environment friendly
anyway, the plan didnt work out cos only julia and sm heeded my instructions (boo!)
lots of drama as usual
first, alice brought the grill – a new one that she had never use before
so it started smoking when she first turn on it, and got the ‘cao-da’ smell!
luckily after a while it’s ok
then next it was my steamboat cooker’s turn
can’t get it to turn on after i changed the gas!
in the end, cant be bothered to try again
so end up throwing everything in the pot and cook on the stove before bringing it out
yes, next time i will buy CHEESE sausages
and the dumplings are super nice!
and this photo was taken by placing alice’s camera on my window ledge
scary~
after steamboat, it was dessert time!
mich bought some donuts from donut factory (no queue haha)
there were 3 new flavours according to her
and the new espresso flavour taste good (altho i only taste a bit of the cream)
and of course, i had the apple one cos’ choco donuts are too sweet for my liking
then we had a mini surprise for yl!
alice bought a cake from Island Creamery to celebrate yl’s belated birthday
the cake looks super super cute! super childish to suit yl too! hahaha
decorated with gummy bears and nasty-tasting jelly beans
the cookie and cream ice-cream taste good though! as in i dont find it too sweet…
and the teh tarih and some tiger beer flavours they were talking about makes me drools already
mich insisted on playing mj
so we played!
and they were (desperately) digging my magazines to read their 2008 love horoscope
i wish everyone the best on their 桃花运!
cos according to lots of book, it is going to be a year for love for ox
and also for yl’s horoscope! hahahaha
so, everyone is determined to get someone this year…
hmm, so game for speed dating?? hahah
mich’s attempt to make 十三腰 failed
despite julia’s being her “consultant” and yl giving way to her by not winning
anyway, i wanna play more!
2h is not enough!
it’s definitely a nice start to 2008
last year going to school together and stuff
i will definitely cherish the remaining 14 weeks at school
even though i had enough of studying and project-ing
love ya girls =)
p/s: tks alice for the organiser again! you are my annual organiser supplier ;P
met up with my jc babes before fr sets off for her bangkok holiday
*envy*
hope you will have fun there ya?
and remember to organise the house warming party =)
anyway, we ended up eating crystal jade at taka again
it seems like that is always where we headed for when we are in town
town was horribly crowded
people doing x’mas shopping everywhere
crystal jade had a new menu, which i think it’s a good improvement
we had 盐水鸭 for starter; it was salty (duhs) but came with a fragrance of rice wine
then we decide to order a hot pot
it’s basically like a mini steamboat, with ingredients like veg, mushrooms, corn etc
the soup base literally left us licking our spoons
followed by main dish the fried rice and la-mian
nothing worth mentioning there, except the la-mian was HOT!
the cute auntie kept coming to our table to double-check if we really want the la-mian
cos she reckons it’s really spicy
and it was! luckily it was shared between the four of us *phew*
and fr surprisingly treated us! *hugs girl*
huimin was super craving for her green tea ice-cream
so we squeezed our way to lido
where we had the yummy meiji ice-cream (i had the choco flavour)
and that was kn’s treat! hahaha
finally bought fr her present (a brown bag), and kn scooted around isetan to top up the purchase to $50 so that she can exchange for a $5 vouchor
congrat to huimin for landing with a job that you liked!
but pls be careful okie?
i will be praying for you
and super high huimin also took tons of pictures for us
many silly poses
merry x’mas my dears!

settled at new york new york for dinner
after bazerinn disappeared from raffles city
(where on earth did it moved to again?)
was quite skeptical about the food
cos i have heard some extreme positive and extreme negative comments about the food
but it was a pleasant surprise!
we had the fried mushrooms and fiery buffalo wings for starters
the former was so-so, but the wings were really good!
but i wish they dont serve with the thick cheesy sauce
then i had algo olio, which was fried in extra generous serving of virgin olive oil, mushrooms and bacon bits
man, it was oily, but heng it’s healthy olive oil!
oily yet u dont really feel it while eating
just that when you reach the bottom of the plate, you will see 1cm thick of oil remaining
the wise one had the casear chicken pizza
for once, not hawaiian
the ingredients were fresh, and not stingy in amounts
almost chicken breast meat in every bit
and it really taste so healthy cos they use breast meat!
but the meat is so tender
dinner ended with unlimited amount of candyfloss
and yesterday was apple flavour!
yummy!
the wise one went for 2 servings before i stopped him
apparently he wanted more haha
and i’m glad that we went there early
cos by the time we leave, the queue was wow………………. long!
