YouTube Intermission

Great! It's finally the weekend! And I dunno what to do about it :(

Actually I have powerpoint slides to prepare for Monday's class but I'm terribly distracted by YouTube. Been watching every episode of The Nanny available, streaming 7-minute short clips and piecing random episodes together in no particular order. Love Niles!







Been stuffing my face with Japanese these days - Waruku (best paper hotpot) with Anne and gang, Waruku again (fried ice cream not so good but had a 10% off the bill cos we found out the supervisor was an ex-bandmate!) with Ks, Ichiban (best salmon head soup and softshell crab handroll) with the mister, and Sakae (best.. er.. mascot?) with Liling and gang.


And I totally forgot about Starry's birthday cos the week's been crazy... I'm so sorry dearie..





Starry Starry dear

I'm so sorry I forgot your birthday

Daniel's the important one anyway

You still have the flower I got you last year?



Speaking of birthdays, Fan was on MC on hers. I know you don't want a celebration lady.. b..b..bbbut do you have to avoid us like this??? =puts away noisemakers= you still want your pressie on Monday?? I know you're secretly excited.. you are!

Eugene was awarded Team Player (Softball) of 2007 last week.

The sandwich he made and hid in the glove compartment for me.

Now back to YouTube!

YAY! We're going somewhere in December!!!


Was half afraid that I'll end up wasting the holidays because of his matches, but today we booked a 4D3N holiday in Bintan's Nirwana Garden for $301 per pax. Had to pay $50 bucks more for the sea view as rooms with a garden view are fully booked. Don't really care for the view; they can paint a window on the wall for all I care and I'd still be happy that I won't be stuck here during term break. Anne and Tricia both enjoyed the place with Kelvin and Renjie :D

Not bad eh :) compare this with Tioman's Tropical Coral Inn which we stayed for an agonizing 3 days

I was actually afraid that Eugene would collapse the bowl cos when you sit on it, it shifts 0_0

Anywhere would be better than Tioman, anywhere!

.........................................................................................

Sua ku us went to Ding Tai Feng for the first time.

Me (not looking like myself)

Eugene tucking in

Us

Look at how Eugene fills his small dragon soup bun (xiao3 long2 tang1 bao1) with a lot of vinegar. They should have a xiao3 long2 cu4 (vinegar) bao1 in the menu for him la. If you can't tell what he's saying the monologue is below.

-confused- ".. Why don't you eat..?"

-exasperated and does some funny la1 mian4 action- "... I can't eat with a camera in my face!"

He didnt know he was on video la hahahaha the silly guy :D


Then greedy me wanted to try the grilled bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms on skewers from this shop beside Peninsular Plaza.

Looks nice hor. I still remember those I had by the roadside in Hong Kong... heavenly!

What we had looked like what you see in the photo, except that the bacon consists of 90% fat and 10% meat. PUI! Poor Eugene looked like he was going to puke after eating just one piece :(

Rushed to Mos Burger and downed 1 large iced milk tea to dilute the fat. The yellow lighting was good so being vain pots we took some pictures :D

He looks great in this one :D

His eyebags are bigger than his eyes la. So cute :D

And now I'm home writing this and having my 2nd cup of chamomile hoping it will remove the fat.. yeah who am I kidding... :(

UGH! No more fat for me for the next 2 weeks else become pui pui like eugene.. ><

Attempting to Feed the Hungry Pitcher

Tick ... CROSS CROSS .. tick.. CROSS CROSS CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm a marking machine these days - Chemistry and music (yes we have music exam too. Fun to set the paper but not fun to mark) Helped Fan mark her lower sec science too. These students are hilarious -

Answers from our 14 year olds

1. The process describing a sperm fusing with an egg (i.e. fertilization)

Student's answer: sexual intercourse

2. Name the type of cells which you see in the diagram (sperm and a fertilized egg)

Student's answer: bacteria and amoeba

3. Chemical process taking place when heating calcium carbonate (i.e. thermal decomposition)

Student's answer: heat decay (ok this is a rather smart answer, I must admit, but too bad, still wrong! WRONG! WWWWRRRRONG!)

Eugene said he'll meet me after his training at 10.45 pm to have his dinner. Usually when this happens we'll end up in Dunman Food Centre or Kallang 24 hr Mc Donalds/KFC. But 2 nights ago I offered to cook for him. And so this post is about

The Iron Chef attempting to feed the Hungry Pitcher

(and I tell you, when I was searching online for a chef hat picture, this scary photo popped up and scared the daylights out of me)

~Shudder~

2210

I had 35 minutes to whip up something decent. No problemo. Gathered all the ingredients in 5 minutes. He hates celery but that's the only veggie I have in the fridge. Too bad ha! (Harwin, it is confirmed that you can't feed ayam brand chilli tuna to cats as it swells their upper larynxes)

2215

Noodles in hot water chucked in microwave. Celery diced. Canned tuna lid pulled back. No sweat.

2220

Noodles out of oven, drained and tossed in cold water (like pro) while celery sat in hot water.

2225

Egg on teflon pan. Celery drained. Blotted fried egg with kitchen towel.

2225-2240

OMG Just look at this!!! Look like hospital food la!

(started to panic) I need garnishing! I need colour!

If only I had some red chillie and a Ginsu knife. Can make a star or a sotong thingy like in the photo. Quite pro hor. If he didn't like his dinner I might also use the knife to slice him up thinly heh

I don't believe this! We have two freakin refrigerators and all I could find were two sad looking tomatoes way past their prime. My brother saw my butt sticking out from the fridge and cracked up.

"Siao ah! So long zhong for wat?! Wah.. but your egg fry until quite nice la"

2245

Eugene stepped into the kitchen during my weak attempt to colour the dish. He startled me and in my haste I even spilt some of the curry powder on the counter la .. :( super no skill.. haiz

2250

With an icepack perched on his shoulder (top left corner), the hungry pitcher devoured his noodles, including every single cube of celery.

-burp-

He was happy.. So was I :D

He pops The Question

Ok I have have to admit it. Facebook can be pretty addictive.

I had so many presents sent to me in just 4 days. Really, the way they make you send gifts at every possible opportunity keeps the site going.

Would you be excited if a friend gave you a bunch of carrots in real life?

"siao ah! go gib your mother la!"

After receiving so many things from your friends, you're obliged to send something back (knowing very well that most of them probably mass-sent the items anyway). So I proceeded to spend 1 hour sending ice-creams, vegetables and eggs. (Those of you who received something from me, it was a personal thoughtful gift. I do not mass-send my items, sompa)

Adopted a panda too and named him Pan Panda. Was even enthusiastic enough to buy a bed, stereo system, ferret and hamster for my room only to be told (after the long meticulous process of choosing and adding the items) that I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH COINS (again).

grrrrrrrrrrrr

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Anyway, back to the main story.

HE POPPED THE QUESTION

"Oi.. Why you turn me down...."

Huh?

"I asked you................................................... (meekly) Will you marry me...."

You did??! When?!

"When you were falling asleep on your bed before my (softball) training..."

-scratch head-

"You said No and turned away........................................ and fell asleep" (kua kua kua......)

He calls that A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL?? Trying to catch me when I'm semi-conscious.. sly one!

Anyway when it finally sank in I couldn't stop laughing... he's really really cute sometimes :D

Lots of marking to do now that the exam papers are in... I fell asleep for about 15 minutes holding my red pen and almost drooled on a terrible sketch of what's supposed to be a carbon dioxide molecule:

diao.....

Ok I'm going to go figure out how to feed my panda. Ha! Ciao!

Top 10 Reasons Why Facebook Pisses Me Off

(This post is not about you, Eugene, so you can skip it)

Top 10 Reasons Why Facebook Pisses Me Off

10. Cos everyone wants me to add them on Facebook. Why can't they add me? (yes apparently I have lazy friends)

9. The site is bursting with so many applications they make me dizzy.

8. The useless News Feed: "WWW is now friends with XXX... YYY wrote a sticky note to 2 people... "

zzzzzz....Seriously...would you care if I were to give Starry a great white shark for her Facebook aquarium? huh? HUH???

7. OK, I just found out that I don't have enough coins to send Starry a great white shark. HMPH.

6. Every move I make on Facebook can be seen by all my friends. (see point number 8) I find more privacy in my own blog. Here. Seriously.

5. "Ooh lookie! Someone is sending me a flower! -clicks on link to receive- .. wait.. where's my flower? Oh ok someone called Obiwankanobe made this application.. yes yes I'm adding it so that I can see the flower.. oh I have to send a flower to other people first? No.. no.. skip that.. Wait.. where's my flower? Er... h..h..hello? -clicks around hopefully-"

4. Substitute flower in point number 5 with beer/high5/banana/whatever damn thing that can be sent to you and then mysteriously disappear after wasting your time.

3. The Define Me application says "Nobody has defined you yet. Be the first."
okie.. let's see... -spends 10 minutes defining myself, clicks enter- "Sorry. You cannot define yourself. Only others can define you."

WT...?!

2. I have mysteriously joined Oktoberfest twice at 7.41pm without knowing, and invited myself to join it again at 7.42pm.

1. I wanted to spank Eugene. After sending the spank and reloading my home page, I had also requested for me to spank myself 3 times -_-'''

Kinky.
