I'VE GOT AN ANNOUCEMENT TO MAKE! haha. Sorry for the CAPS. Have to be loud so you guys can "hear" what i have to say. I've changed my blog add to http://www.dont-eat-potatoes.blogspot.com Please re-link me kiez? Thanks and love you all! =D

Am waiting for my honey to wake up b4 we both head to my grandma's house for dinner. Meanwhile, i shall blog a short entry about today! =D

Woke up at 7am this morning as i had tutorial at 10am. Made it a point to wake up 1 hour earlier (b4 i leave the house) so i can have breakfast. But don't know why i feel hungrier after breakfast and i end up having gastrict. Like yesterday, i had terrible gastrict from morning till evening despite eating nuggets and 8 har gaos for tea. Couldnt stop farting too. haha. My mom says that if you fart alot, it means ur hungry. In other words, i was like a farting machine yesterday. To make things worse, i got 10-15 mosquito bites on my legs after clearing my the dim sum stall. Great~

Stats tutorial today was pretty okie. I thank god the tutor didnt call me to present any of the questions as i had problems d/l phstat2 and hence, couldn't use excel to draw my graphs. Surprisingly, majority of the students there also had difficulty d/l phstat2 and so, didnt complete their tutorial just like me. =D
Went for management science tutorial after that. Didnt even do a single qs for this tutorial. Intended to do it over the weekend but one glance at the first question made me think twice about attempting it. Seriosly, i find it a major waste of time to stare blankly at a qs which ur not able to solve and then realising that one hour has past. Super unproductive. I dont like. -bleahz-
Tutor gave out the solutions for the tutorial and i think im in deep shit. Its not that i suck at algebra or what, its just that i don't understand what's the logic to management science. ArrGh... Need kenny and jun long to tutor me le...BOO~
Honey came to school to meet me for lunch after that. Decided to lunch some place else other than the usual Amoy Street which we have been frequenting for the past 2-3 weeks. Headed to the nearby Ghim Mo Market for lunch. Lotsa nasi lemak, prawn mee and lor mee stalls there. I even saw my fave peanut pancakes from Maxwell! Settled for prawn mee while my honey had lor mee. Food so-so only but enough to satisfy my craving for prawn mee.
Went to MOE for a while as my honey wanted to collect his o'level cert dated a few years back. Surpringly, they still store it in their system. haha
As FNA lect only starts at 2pm and we still have 1 more hour to waste away, honey decided to ride me to holland village. Directed him to one of my fave italian restaurants. Da Paolo! I love the pizza at Da Paolo Pizza Bar! Its really original italian. They also have a cake/pizza bakery called Da Paolo Gastromania. Dont think i spelled it correctly but its just down the slope from the pizza bar. They have lotsa fanciful cakes that cost 7 bucks a box, pizzas that cost 6 bucks a slice, muffins, cupcakes, bread and many more! Settled for a hazelnut cake which tasted really superb. The cream had a strong hazelnut taste and the crushed hazelnut in between the layers was what made it taste so GOOD. Taste best when chilled. Shall go for the hazelnut praline mousse next time. =D

Am in LT11 now having HISTORY Lect. One word to describe it. Sianzation. and today's lecture is on the decolonization and the politics of nation building in Singapore and Malaya. The first slide showing a picture of david marshall is oredi enough to put me to sleep. ZzZZz... Shall leave lect during break time to help kenny out at the dim sum stall. Its Bizad's food fiesta fair this week you see. Lotsa food here. They have lotsa cakes, pastries and brownie from Cedele bakery. Ramly burgers, satays, tako pachi, sausages, prata and even smelly tofu!!! Gosh. The whole LT is gonna STINK man. And the food is all very cheap. Like you can get 5 har gaos from the dim sum stall for only $1.50. Think i shall steal some later. hehehe.

I did something really unbelievable yesterday. I think you'l say i'm crazy if i were to tell you but that's me, when i want something, i'l go all out to get it. Well, i queued for two hours to buy donuts from The Donut Factory at Raffles City.



Time seemed to pass pretty fast for me. In fact in dint even feel like 2 hours but my honey seems to think otherwise. hahaha. Poor thing.. Guess this is the longest time i've spent queueing up for something. The second longest was queueing for bak chor mee at crawford lane and botak jones western food at ang mo kio. Time clocked : 1 hour 10 mins. But thank God the donuts are worth the queue.



We bought 6 donuts in all. No point queueing up for 2 hours and walk off with only 1 donut each right? Clockwise from the picture : Double chocolate (+ chocolate filling), lotus mocha, hazelnut milk chocolate, white heart strawberry (+ strawberry filling), dark peanut chocolate and peanut butter glazed (+ peanut butter filling). The fillings inside the respective donuts practically explodes when u bite into them. I love the dbl chocolate and peanut butter glazed! The white choco coating on the dbl chocolate donut is really good too. Melts in ur mouth and sticks to ur teeth. Yum~ And what makes The Donut Factory stand out from other donut outlets like munchy donuts or dunkin' donuts? Well, their donuts here are really soft and fluffy and you get it fresh from the oven! Its a die die must try and if you happen to queue, dont forget to buy some for me k? hahaha








Brought our 6 donuts to starbucks. Needed a drink to go with our donuts and more importantly, a seat to rest our aching feet. Honey ordered their signature hot chocolate. Nice. But after eating 6 donuts, drinking the hot chocolate made me feel like puking. Guess i was suffering from donut chocolate overdose oredi. I felt really full after sharing the 6 donuts with my honey but that's only HIGH TEA. haha. Chilled out at the esplanade and walked around marina square till about 7pm before heading off to changi village for dinner.



The queue..spot me! haha


Told you im a big vermonster. Had to queue again for the popular nasi lemak but this is nothing compared to my 2 hour wait for donuts. I'm well trained oredi. haha. The nasi lemak is not bad. The fried chicken is nice and this is also the first time im eating sambal chili! In fact i quite like it, not very spicy and has a sweet taste to it. I love the ikan bilis too. Becoz the guy serving them gave very little ikan bilis (its so little u can count them. Really very miserable), we paid extra 50cents to add more ikan bilis. haha. The rice is what makes them so popular. It doesnt have a strong coconut taste (i hate coconut) and the rice grains are really fine and smooth. But according to my honey, he said the standard has dropped. Doesnt really affect me much la. As long as its edible, taste good and worth the wait, y not? Someday, i'l try the other stalls' nasi lemak to find out why this stall is so popular with singaporeans. Or izit maybe bcoz, like what the Sunday Times reported, "Singaporeans just wana be part of the majority", "kiasuism - dont wana miss out on anything."

Argh..i'm so hungry now.. but i had a big bowl of cereal in the morning, a cup of orange juice, yoghurt dessert, and i juz ate a ham and cheese sandwich. My grandma says i eat like a pregnant woman. i agree sometimes. But i cant help it, my stomach does its digestive job efficiently and hence, i get hungry easily. Imagine what happens if i accidentally ate an appetizer booster tablet. hurhurhur. Think you'l see a big fat pig the next morning.

Time flies when im in NUS. Time flies even faster when i spend time with my honey. One moment its tuesday and before you know it, its the end of the week and i have to go back HOME. BOO!

I've finally bought my textbooks. Just yesterday, i bought my management science text from the NUS forum at only 18 bucks! Bought my FNA, statistics and econs text from Alfeus at $60.10. Wanted to bargain somemore but 20 bucks for 1 text book is oredi damn cheap, considering the outside price to be 40 bucks? Skipped my nation building history lect to buy alfeus lunch as i made him wake up early to pass me the books by 12pm. heehee. But he rejected my treat and ended up buying me a drink instead. haha. After which, went to meet Jason at bedok to collect my driving booklet.

Attended my first tutorial of the semester on tues. It was held in a conference room located in some ulu part of biz fac. But i like it. If only all my tutorials are held in conference rooms and not seminar rooms. They kinda have an SMU teaching style "feel". Management sci tutorial was uber boring. But at least i have friends like Sutris, Jill and Suyi attending it with me. After tutorials, went to meet my honey for lunch! Honey specially went to katong mall in the morning to buy me the banana pie from the dona manis shop.



Its very nice! The crust is really very very nice and the bananas can make u go bananas over it. Its like eating goreng pisang. Kinda reminds me of BNJ's banana crumble but of course this is much nicer. Honey also went to raffles city in the morning to buy doughnuts from The Doughnut Factory.



But they only open at 12.30pm and even before they open, people were already queueing up to leave orders with the store. Amazing. Ate lunch at Amoy St again. This time i had my hakka Yong Tau Foo with zhu chang fen! Had durian ondeh ondeh also. Then went back to school for my most dreaded lecture. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING. Cant believe that such a boring person like prof mak acty exist. Argh. and guess wad i had for dinner? Tissue Prata and cheese do sai from Little India. Went to mustafa after my driving lesson and yes, i got to drive on the main road. Its damn fun. =D

Woke up very early on wed morning for FNA tutorial. Dint meet any of my frenz at all but made a few friends here and there. Formed a project group with these 2 guys and one of them is very smart and has some accounting backgrd knowledge. Its both good and bad. Good becoz the presentation and project will be a breeze but bad coz i will look damn stupid and pathetic in the presence of an FNA genius like him. Honey came to school to meet me after that. It was M'sia outing day! haha. Ate like a vermonster. Had fish and chips ofr lunch. One slice of Chocolate Indulgence cake, White Chocolate Macadamia cake and an oreo cheese cake. All from Secret Recipe. Its very cheap! One slice costs only RM$5.50 which is only SGD$2.50! In sg u pay like $4.50-5.50 for 1 slice of cake. Think next time i'l buy back 1 whole cake. Cost only SGD$30 after conversion. Where to find such a good deal?
Reached Sg at 4pm. Napped for 3 hours before going out for dinner. Had Syed Alwi Hakka YTF and Satay! Nice Nice. Gonna try their wanton mee and pork ribs mee sometime soon.

Had my econs tutorial today. Tutor is some cheena lady who really cant teach for nuts. She's like talking to herself and she can spend 10 mins on one simple question! Doing the MCQs made me think back about the times when i was having econs tutorial with Ms Sarah Ee. I think she's a really good teacher, but scary though. haha. After tutorials, went to amoy st for lunch again. This time i had wanton mee from a stall next to the ondeh ondeh stall. It was recommended by some food critic from some food webby somewhere. haha. Long queue but its really worth the wait. For 3 bucks you get one big bowl of wanton soup with 10 wantons inside and a plate of noodles with fried wanton and lots and lots and lots of charsiew! The char siew is not thinly sliced like those typical ones served in coffee shops, in fact, she chops them on the spot and gives you chunks of it. As there were no more fried wantons left, she replaced them with fried fish instead. Nice too! The taste is great, the serving just right, and she's generous with the ingredients. As Carls' Jr says it, "SCREW THE DIET!" What more are you waiting for? Go check it out at amoy street now!

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and the best thing about Sundays is I get to
go to church! Sundays are also days where I don’t have any intention of
logging onto IVLE, touch my tutorials, or do anything related to this 3
letter word – NUS. It’s also a day where I get to spend quality time with my
bed and family. =D

Had the intention of waking up at 7am this morning to go for a morning jog.
But when I opened my eyes to check the time, it was already 4 hours past
7am. Great. 2 weeks into my second semester in school and I felt that I
haven’t done anything PRODUCTIVE. I’ve been attending lectures faithfully
for the first week but leaving the lecture halls not understanding anything.
Either the lectures are too complex (like FNA) or I’m day dreaming abt
becoming Singapore’s next big entrepreneur. –bleahz- In fact, just 2 weeks
into 2007 and things haven’t been going my way. My hp got stolen, 2 ATM
machines decided to shut down on me, I suffered from a terrible hang over
and just yesterday, I tripped and bumped my knee on the stairs, leaving a
swell on my knee. Ouch* But nvm, good and much better days are bound to
come.

Right now, im really praying that my appeal to get back my original tutorial
slot for Econs will be successful. I was initially given the Thursday slot
but had to change it to the Friday slot as I wanted to appeal for my FNA to
be changed from weds to thurs. And now that my 2 lects for Fridays have
webcasts and the chances of appealing for a change in FNA tutorial slots are
very slim, I rather get back my original thurs slot for econs and let fri be
my off day. Complicated.

Just read the Sunday times and they were saying that doughnuts are soon
becoming the next big craze. I so totally agree! I’ve been craving for
doughnuts ever since 1 month ago and up till now, I haven’t eaten one. I
want to try the double chocolate glazed doughnuts from The Doughnut Factory
at Raffles City! Anyone kind enough to buy me a dozen? Haha. JK. Just one
and its enough to make me a happy princess for the rest of the day. =D

Not just doughnuts, next up on my list is …..

1. Tie Ban Brownie with a scoop of ice-cream from Café Melvados.
2. Elvis peanut butter cupcakes from Toast at Ngee Ann City.
3. Banana pies from the Dona Manis shop in Katong Mall.
4. Botak Jones!
5. Chocolate rice + cheese + condense milk toast from DeToast at Bugis.
6. Hakka Yong Tau Foo with zhu chang fen from Amoy Street.
7. Durian..hehehe
8. Fish & Co Seafood platter (will only eat it on the day when I feel that
it’s a SIN not to eat it =P)
9. Billy Bombers’ Oreo milkshake
10. Father Flanagen at Chijmes!
11. Steak from Fosters’ at Holland Village or Aston’s Specialties at East
Coast Road
12. And the list goes on and on and on but that’s all for now.

And im really tempted to book a club and throw a BIG bash for my 21st
birthday next year. Anyone wana be my events coordinator, sponsors or
assistant organizers? Haha. Hmmmmmm…

Im having a hang over now and the feeling is really TERRIBLE. I just wana die so badly. Dizzy + nauseous + headache. Tonight MOS. Am not gonna drink lest all the alcohol kills my brain cells. Puked and puked last nite. Puked this morning again. Its disgusting but it sure makes me feel better, especially when you know that you've puked out last nights' dinner and should be 5% less fat? whahahaha..okie..im crazy...i feel like puking again...

BOO~ I'm all alone at my honey's hse. Not forgetting his dad of cause. Think his mom shld be home any minute. Gonna go for my driving lessons later at 8pm and then its off to zouk!

The weather is super HOT today. Had fishball kway teow for lunch today. Then watched eragon and napped at honey's house. Just had dinner as well. Very early dinner i must say.

I hate CORS! I hate this system of tutorial balloting! Seems like i have no choice but to appeal for the thursday tutorial slot, 12-2pm, for FNA. BOO~

Am now chilling out at biz com lab 1. I've finally printed all my lecture notes and tutorials for the whole of week 1. Now that feng yi has taught me how to use the cashcard to print,which printer to connect to, the codes n bla bla bla, i find this printing process pretty interesting. Sort of helps me to kill time. Like rite now, im waiting for the bash comm mtg to start, which will only commence at 5.30pm. No choice but to go coz im their secretary and i have to take down minutes. BOO~ Spent 5 bucks printing all these shit stuff coz my stupid printer at home is still jammed. Apparently, my dad and i dont seem to wana do anything abt it. Lazy bums. Like father like daughter.

Just had FNA lecture just now. Damn borring. Dint understand a single thing. Each time i wana write notes, the prof just keeps going on and on and on and i just cant catch up! Turned off my lappy, dumped my hp into my bag and tried listening intently to every word the prof was saying but still dont understand anything. Argh! The more i listen, the more confused i become. I need a tutor for financial accounting!

Kenny frm bash comm just passed me a THICK stack of econs notes. Can tell he paid attention and studied real hard coz there're lotsa scribbles inside. Hopefully studying his notes will help me ace my econs exams. =D

Going to zouk tml. and then MOS for tertiary fling on thurs and maybe V-Bash with the Kaka people on sat. y i say maybe? Coz i will only go if MK buys a tix for me. hahahahaha

okie..gonna go to biz canteen to sleep and use msn. This com doesnt allow me to log in. Think they block msn or sth. -_-!
