I’m very not updated here… D:
Er… let’s start with the exams ba.. ATRM was easier than expected, except for the theory question. PMKT was ‘ARGH!’ where you know the concept but nothing comes out from your brain or you can’t link it up to the topic. Frustrating. D:
After exam, Reuben din want to go home, so the both of us, with Serena, Joanna and Azreen went to Sakae Sushi to have sushi buffet to treat ourselves, except Azreen who didn’t want to eat. xD I’m like damn suagu [mountain tortoise], never go to sushi buffet before.. hahahah
Had quite a lot of plates of sushi. Reuben most bloated one, he ate a lot of plates, as well as those plates that Joanna and I shared with him. D:
The dessert was the most power-pac one. Joanna popped one frozen strawberry with ice cream inside as filling, and she was like ‘damn sour and cold and numb’, or so we infer it. xD Can’t really hear what she is talking since the strawberry is quite big and numbing her whole mouth. xD
Reuben then took some dare from Serena I think, or was it Joanna? Anyway, he popped 2 [yes we got 2 each] at one go into his mouth and you should have seen his expression throughout the whole process. Priceless.
Next Serena and me popped one each into our mouths and started feeling numbness all over. Of course not as bad a Reuben la, he looked as if he’s in agony. D:
It is really sour at some points, other points it was just numbing cold. D:
Went to arcade and played a game which seemed fun since 2 girls played until they laughed hysterically…… lol It’s all about throwing plastics balls at a screen, with objectives. We score like 2nd la… Tsk. The 2 hysterical girls scored 1st, nothing to say le… hahahah
Went to a pet shop nearby cox Joanna wants to get hamster food. Inside, we looked at hamsters [aw my long dead hamster. D: mum doesn’t want me to get another hamster le… zz] and guinea pigs and rabbits and puppies. xD After stoning there for quite some time, said byes to Serena and Azreen while Joanna, Reuben and I went to West Coast Plaza to roam around. The Nike Factory Outlet has a very nice bag with a very nice price tag: $69.90. D:
Walked around and sort of window shopped. Bought Age of Empires Collector’s Edition on impulse cox have been finding it for quite some time. It’s only $19.90, a fraction of what it’ll cost if I buy all 4 games included inside separately. :D
Said byes to Reuben while Joanna and I took the same bus, 30, home. I alighted a stop before the expressway and said byes to Joanna.
That’s about all for Wednesday.
Thursday:
Slept at 2am cox couldn’t sleep and almost couldn’t wake up at 5am. Called Gary and he said wake him at 6am, which I did. Then I myself woke at 6.20 something. Missed a bus because I just remembered I need to get the camera and had to trouble Gary’s grandma to get the house keys to get the camera from his room. D:
Reached JE and met up with Freida. Took a very long and sleepy bus ride to raffles place there. Went to Julien Bompard at Ascott Raffles Place for breakfast buffet. Seems like it is a bad choice. D:
We got free flow of bread, tea/coffee. Then had an omelet each and crispy bacon too. Then at the buffet line, which is quite short, there is chicken congee, some bread thing [I forgot what it’s called], scrambled eggs, cut fruits, and selection of cereals with choice of either fresh [cow] milk or soya milk to go with it.
But all these for $28++, which came up to about $33 per pax for us, not worth la huh? D:
Something very embarrassing happened to me. I was refilling the tea from the small teapot, I think my subconscious assumed it was lidless or the lid is attached with a hinge or something. Basically I ignored the fact that the lid is separate and can fall out, which it did, which made the 2 of them laugh like nuts. D:
Another thing is, because I forgot to go to the ATM beforehand to get extra cash AND assumed that they accept NETS, after the three of us pile our money together, we’re still short of $4. D:
So I brisk walked to Lau Pa Sat [which the service personnel and the both of them thought I ran since I came back very fast] and back with fresh notes from the ATM to pay the bill and get out of the place ASAP.
Walked to the Starbucks nearby cox Gary wanted to get a drink. We got out very quickly cox Freida was like “Ok, let's go!” in a very loud whisper. Got out and realized the strange guy using facebook on this laptop beside us was always turning and staring at us for no particular reason, which Gary who sit almost opposite him didn’t realize till we tell him. -.-“
Went to the Esplanade and got loads of aircon. Shiok. The weather was killing us, we didn’t know what other stuff it will do to us later. D:
Walked over to marina square and roamed around abit. Gary went to the boxing [and other sports] store and then we stoned at McDonald’s. D:
Was always deciding where to go next. Zz And it was here that they start to get permanent ear damage due to some screeches as well as find out about the ‘hidden’ burst mode which was there in the camera since forever. D:
Took train to Bugis, walked to Kampong Glam where I got my battery for camera. It was a NEED, cox I don’t have extra battery and next week there’s BA_COMM camp for 4days, so definitely need extra batt. It was melting-ly hot to and from there. Went to Iluma to window shop and explore the new mall and get loads of aircon. :D
Iluma is quite boring for now… Well not all the shops are opened as well… And the arcade there is horrendously boring. It doesn’t even have the ‘basic’ of Daytona… D:
Went over to Bugis Junction to get our dried bodies a drink at Cold Storage and went more window shopping. After quite some time of deliberating, decided to walk to Esplanade there to take a bus to Botanic Gardens. [Yes say we’re crazy]
Spotted a 106 from a bus stop but didn’t manage to catch it, at the next 106, the bus driver say we must go to another bus stop. D:
So we walked through the war memorial where Gary got a shot and walked to Esplanade to get aircon again. Then took bus 77 to Botanical Gardens, we each had an aircon vent on the bus to ourselves. xDD
Botanical Gardens was basically roaming with a pathfinder called Gary and stopping by at maps at times to confirm our way, and of course load of snapping of pictures, which will be posted up soon.
One of the incident we kena there is…..
Imagine this: Walking eagerly up a pavilion in hopes of getting some random group shots and self portraits and whatever and while walking up the steps, time slows down. At the corner of the eye, you spot something black, then you notice shape, then you realize it is two people, and then horror of horrors, you caught them red handed doing stuffs that is not supposed to be done in public. And you, with your friends already up in the pavilion, have to treat it like nothing happened, talk randomly, take some random shots and then your friend, Freida, says in a loud whisper “Ok, let's go!” and you and your friends run off as soon as you went in. [Note, in our case they are both fully clothed. Which is good.]
Epic.
Anyway, we sat at a bench near the pavilion in hopes that they will realize their folly and go away. Because tourists are gathering, photographers armed with DSLRs are taking photos and wedding couples are having their photos taken near the pavilion and we’re looking at them from afar.
They didn’t budge.
So we took shots with the timer with the camera on the ground. Looking up, the leaves up above makes us feel that we’re not in Singapore…. Relaxing indeed. :D
Decided they won’t budge even if a nuclear warhead is to explode there and then, we roamed around. Got to some desert themed place and took pics. Then was the bonsai place and took some more pics. Also took a series of pics titled “If you think HongWei is tall, think again.” conceptualized by Gary. :D
After sometime, we got to the Official Entrance of Botanical Gardens. After refreshing ourselves, realized there was no bus service outside it. D: So had to walk, albeit a shorter distance, all the way back to where we came in from, the Tanglin Gate, to take bus. D:
Took 77 in the end and went to Bukit Timah Hawker there… Freida treated the both of us, both starving souls, to a bowl of tangyuan. :D Thanks! :D
Took bus 66 back to Jurong East, a long journey indeed, damn draggy….
Was out for almost 12 hours… NTS.
Well at least I enjoyed it and hope Gary and Freida both enjoyed it. :D
Ok that’s it.. for now.. xD
Ciao.
