The Feels

One more week to go!! One last week of exams before the vacation. Can't wait for it man!! This week is study week and i am trying to concentrate on studying, in hope to ace the remaining 4 exam papers.

Today, i just wanna blog about what i did on wednesday and thursday. Well, i wanna take a break from studying, so i went cycling with yong lok, chin seng, Chloe and Deanna on wednesday. Hey, i know we are suppose to study during study week but i need a break. Im only human~ 

Our target was to cycle 30km and we also decided to rent bicycle at east coast park (ecp). We met with a problem while we were trying to go ecp, we went to the wrong mrt station. We arranged to meet at tampines mrt, thinking that there is a bus there which will head towards ecp. Well, there is a bus heading to ecp, but we have to endure about 20+ bus stops. As we didn't wanna waste time travelling by mrt, so we just took the bus from tampines which we all suffered for 20+ bus stop. Throughout the bus ride, we kinda lost the interest to cycle and became sleepy. Hahaha.

Still, we reached ecp and cycled. The guys all cycled like mad with our goal in mind while the girls cycled slower. Damn the upslope man, my thighs hurt so badly when i cycled up the slope. But downslope was super fun, you do not need to pedal and you will move at incredible speed. Eventually, the guys stopped for water break while we waited for the girls to catch up. Once they did, everyone pedalled at a constant and relaxing speed. At that point, we have already cycled away from ecp and we have reach marina barrage. I didn't know that ecp was actually so near to marina bay.

We ride up another damn slope to reach the top of marina barrage (the place with lots of grass and people flying kites). Its just really beautiful up there. we stayed there for awhile before we continue our journey. We eventually cycled past the ArtScience museum. I have never went into the museum before though, maybe one day i will visit it. Its been awhile since i go marina bay and i don't know why but when cycling along marina bay, i find marina bay to be extremely beautiful. It was breathtaking. We then took a U-turn and went back to ecp so that we will be able to return our bicycle on time. I am so glad that my calf and thigh muscle didn't hurt the next day. I certainly enjoyed myself that day.

On thursday, Cindy, Cheryl, jing wen and I planned to go to a friend's house to study. Yes, we did go to our friend's house with the mindset of studying. But things did not turn out how we wanted...

First of all, we reached our friend's house later than we planned. When we entered our friend's house, we first went into the kitchen to look at our friend's pet rabbit. I forgot the rabbit's name but her rabbit was huge, larger than usual rabbits. Then we sat down on the sofa for awhile before our friend's house tour. After admiring our friend's house, we sat on the sofa again and start chatting. We even questioned the motive of us going our friend's house.

We thought we would study, but we were wrong. We ended up playing "Fun Run 2". Hahahahahaha. I know its a lame game to you guys, but its actually pretty fun when you play with friends. After quite a lot of rounds of "Fun Run 2", we remembered our objective of going to our friend's house. All of us sat on our friend's dining table, took out our laptops and started studying. 30 minutes past and we started to discussed about our dinner. We were considering delivery or cooking our own dinner. Since Cindy and I were once Food & Nutrition students, and our friend knows how to cook, we decide to make our own dinner.

Yeah, so we stopped studying and headed towards the nearest supermarket to get some ingredients. When we got back to our friend's house, we started to prepare the food and get cooking. Basically, Cindy, my friend and I were cooking while jing wen and Cheryl were observing and helping out by clearing the dining table. Sadly, i didn't take photos of the dishes we made. The cooking process was quite interesting and fun. Thankfully our friend's kitchen didn't explode. The food were edible, not a disaster, and it all tasted nice, except the sausage which was kinda salty.

To sum up, we made 四菜一汤. The first dish was some vegetable dish made by our friend. I didn't know what vegetable that was but it tasted quite nice, so i just ate it.

Second dish was eggs with spring onions. Cindy was the main chef frying the egg, while i was the assistant chef, helping her. This was a pretty good dish that i am gonna cook it for my own lunch next time.

Third dish was sausage with tomato sauce. Gosh, this dish was really salty, but luckily we didn't made a lot of it and were able to finish it.

Fourth dish was a weird one. Let me evaluate for you. So, we bought chicken fillet, slice it into cubes. Then our friend marinate it with pepper, salt, cornstarch. Cindy's and my mandible dropped when we saw cornstarch added to the meat. Cindy composed herself then asked me how we should cook the meat, and we eventually decided to stir-fry the meat. As for the sauce, i suggested oyster sauce. So yeah, we proceeded with it. We fry the meat with oyster sauce and some water as it was dry. Turns out that the corn starch was a bad idea as it absorbs the water. So the meat was very dry even though we added a lot of water. At that time, jing wen saw us in crisis, so she asked us to add barbecue sauce. In the end, the dish was "sliced chicken fillet with cornstarch, oyster sauce & barbecue sauce.". The dish looks like raw chicken meat, no kidding, but its kinda delicious.

Lastly, the soup. Its just a regular soup base with crab sticks, mushrooms, meatballs, carrots and tofu.

One of the best dinner ever. I mean, come on, eating and cooking dinner with your friends, how cool is that. HOME-COOKED FOOD ARE THE BEST!! The atmosphere just feels like i was eating dinner with my family.

So, we finished dinner and we studied for a bit before we went home. Lucky for my friend, she's already home. In the end, our initial plan failed miserably, but I had quite a lot of fun. Most importantly, even though I didn't study much, it just feels like i didn't wasted my day at all. The experience i had with them that day was awesome and most probably will stick in my mind forever. However, i now know that no matter what, we cannot study as a group. But if we wanna have fun, of course we can!! Hehe. Ok, thats all, i gotta study now. -End of Blog-

Can the holidays come faster?!?!

Hey guys!! Finally i found time to blog, and something to blog about. Well, all the important exams and tests are coming soon, and about another month or less, there will be a huge holiday coming. Yay!! However, i have a lot of clinical education going on during the holidays. Thats because my course is like that. My secondary friends were all shock at how much time of my holiday will be eaten up by school. But its alright, i will still find time to enjoy my holiday.

Hopefully my secondary 2 class, 2 Everest, will be have a gathering during the holiday. I miss most of them. Even if i got clinical on the day we are suppose to have a gathering, i will still go for the gathering, but of course i will go after my clinical, which is during the evening. 2 Everest is one of the best class i have ever been in. Its humour everyday. Ahh~ Those fun times!! All those memories...

Also, not to forget my secondary 4 class, 4 Everest. Just to note, most of my secondary 2 classmates split classes, so yeah, its 2 different class with mostly different classmates. 4 Everest was great too, just that 2 Everest was more crazy. I am not really sure if 4 Everest can pull off a gathering, cause we tried once during the poly 2 week break, but it failed cause many people are too busy. I want an outing with 4 Everest though, i mean, we went through O'levels together. Oh, and PE lessons with 4 Everest was always hella fun, especially when we played floorball.

I also hope that i can have an outing with my Poly friends. Because my class is filled with girls, Shaikh and I sometimes find it really awkward. But now class have become better. Most girls have start to open up and treat me like a girl. Ok, that came out wrong. I meant treating me like a friend, like someone who is comfortable to talk with. I don't mind just a handful of us going out to watch a movie, play basketball, go sing karaoke, or just a plain dinner. I believe being in DHT course, we should really have fun while we can. Seriously, some of my course mates are really fun to hang out with. Of course not to forget my seniors. I like that in my course, the juniors are somewhat close with the seniors. Or maybe its just me. Anyways, my friends in other courses are all not close with their seniors, they barely know the seniors name. So, i felt really lucky.

6 days ago, i had another mini dinner reunion with my Taugeys!!!! This time it is to celebrate Vivian's birthday. We celebrated one day before her actual birthday though. We could only have a dinner gathering because we were all busy with school work and projects. During the holidays, i would definitely want to go out and have an enjoyable time with the Taugeys. So yeah, we celebrated Viv's birthday, it was a hassle because all the taugeys are studying in different school. ("Taugeys" refers to Dion, chee yin, Vivian, hong shen, wei cheng and I)

We have to first decide which date we are available, so in the end we chose to celebrate one day before Viv's actual birthday. However, wei cheng couldn't make it as he got tons of projects and assignments to do, no matter which date we chose, he wouldn't be able to make it. So we went ahead without him. Then the location was a problem, cause we have to make sure it wasn't too far for anyone. We kept changing locations, from airport to vivo to orchard, back to airport, then to orchard again. But at the last minute, we decided to eat at causeway point. Well, Dion was sick on that day, and if we want her to be present for the celebration, we have to select somewhere close to Dion's house, so causeway point was the final location we decided on.

This time no birthday surprises as Viv will probably expects it anyway. So we just celebrate her birthday and have dinner together. Oh, i forgot to mention, we ate at paradise dynasty. I ordered Zha Jiang Mian, and its delicious. But its spicy that my eyes turned watery. I don't even need a drink when i eat mc spicy, but tears freaking came out of my eyes when i ate a bowl of noodles. The worst is that Dion is not fully recovered yet but she ordered the zha jiang mian, which is spicy. She couldn't finish even half the bowl, so she just "da bao" the noodles home. I think that noodles went right into the thrash after she reached home. Haha.

For the birthday cake, we bought from icing room again because icing room is the only shop we know that sells 4 inch size cake. I am the only one that design the cake though, thats because everyone ended late on that day. I ended slightly earlier so i went to decorate the cake on my own. Rate my cake decorating skills!! Thats a minion by the way. Better than cheryl chew's minion right?? HAHAHA, my poly friends should get the joke.

After finishing our food, we were full, but theres still the cake which we haven eaten. When the taugeys saw the cake, they are like "wow, not bad". I felt that i decorated the cake pretty well too cause a little girl was watching me decorate the cake, and she was telling her grandmother "That KorKor do the cake very nice!!". Moreover, children are honest. Aha, theres the recognition.

The female taugeys!!

We then sang the birthday song to Viv before she make a wish. Seriously, i always wonder what people wish for, don't you get curious?? Moving on... hong shen and i then use burst mode to spam photos of Viv cutting the cake, we took total about 100+ photos of Viv trying to cut the cake. Funny thing is we using Viv's phone to take photos. HAHAHAHA sorry Viv, you will have to browse through the 100+ photos, selecting those that you wanna keep. Next time we won't use burst mode anymore.

After dinner, we walked around causeway point aimlessly. We just chat about random stuffs while walking around. Then it came to our mind that we haven take a group photo yet. So we eventually reach the 1st level, and there is this huge open space filled with cars that are going on sale. I wanted to take a group photo inside a displayed car. But we were worried that the salesperson will chase us out. So, we took photos at the area near the cars. We took a lot of photos, but i will just post a few here. The rest of the photos we took are for me to admire. Hehe. Oh, there is a group photo with wei cheng photoshopped inside, but its on my instagram, so just check it out. I didn't private my instagram, so you can just go and view the photo. My instagram user is peacefuldelf. Ok, so here are a few of the photos we took.

This is the photo which we photoshopped. This is the original photo.

We kept positioning wrongly, so we took quite a long time to get

 this photo nicely taken. This is still isn't the effect we wanted though.

 Photobomb success!! Naughty me.

 Hong shen trying so hard to be in the photo.

 1,2,3... Boo hoo

Hey people. Oh, hong shen STILL trying hard to be in the photo.

Well, at least got a clear shot of him now.

Oh my god, where have chee yin disappeared to?? 

Oh there is chee yin. I am blurred in this photo, but i still post cause of Dion.

Look at her evil eyes.

Love this!! A regular legit group photo.

After photo taking session, we headed home. It wasn't actually very late but we have school the next day. Fun time catching up with my taugeys!! Love them!! Muacks~ If wei cheng was there with us, it would have been better for sure. During our next meeting, whether is celebrating another taugey(Dion)'s birthday or taugey outing, everyone must be present ahh!! Before i end off, wish me good luck for all my upcoming tests and exams!! -End of Blog-
