Foodie, here i come!

After 2 trips down to Tampines Round Market at Tamp St 11, i haven't gotten the chance to eat the BBQ stingray and Bean Sprout Lala that was aired on Channel 8's Buzzing Cashier.
Last night, my 3rd trip down, i had to wait a whole hour plus before the food appeared.

BBQ Stingray

Been a lover for BBQ stingray and shellfish dishes for a long time, i had to try this because the first time Wayne and i went down at 8p.m, it was sold out. Then the second time, the waiting time was 2½ hours, which is simply crazy, i gave up waiting. I was thinking, is this food from heaven? A simple hawker fare yet the waiting time was amazingly long.

The Lala came first. It was still steaming hot and i popped one in my mouth. The taste is simply fantastic. I usually don't eat shellfishes outside cos' the serving is mostly more empty shells than the shellfish itself. But this one, i almost never found any empty ones.

Soon after, the BBQ stingray came. For chilli lovers, this would be a disappointing dish. The spiciness cannot be compared to the famous Bedok 85's. My chilli intake is a bare minimal so the spiciness is just nice. The meat on the stingray was more than that at Chomp Chomp's too. Overall, the taste can be compared to the famous ones that's been around for a long time. For people who don't really take chilli, this stall's stingray would be just nice.

Post mid year exams

On Friday right after our last paper ended, the 5 of us: Belle, Mel, Ruby, Vic and me, went out on an impromptu basis. We watched The Other Boleyn Girl (NC16), in our school uniform at Lido. Either all of us look old (maybe only Vic), or the 2 old male fogeys there didn't really care who went in for what show with whatever rating.

The Other Boliao Girl

To start off, i'm not going to give a sypnosis on this movie since there's tons of it available on the Internet. But what Ruby and me decided this movie was all about: Sex, pregnant, give birth, sex pregnant, give birth, sex...

You get the drift.

Of course Vic would beg to differ. But i think it's shed some light on European history which i barely even know. For now i'm just touching the tip of the iceberg.

There was a particular funny moment when King Henry forced Anne to give herself to him, and he sort of 'rape' her and she screamed. They didn't show the scene explicitly like him forcing it on her. So i thought he used a knife and stab her from the back or something which caused her to scream in pain.
Then, i turned to Ruby, "What did he do to her??!"
She said, "F*** her."

My goodness. I laughed so hard at Ruby's candid reply.

So after the movie, i went my separate way while the rest of them went to Claire's house to play Wii without me cos i had to pee, and i had much weewee-ing during Sec 2 anyways. xD


Then on Saturday, Vic called me in the late noon.

Vic: Jac! I can't decide which dress i should get, the black or white one???
Me: Black.
Vic: But you haven't even seen them yet!

After a battle of the black and white... she took a picture of her in the black and white dress.

Vic: So which is nicer?
Jac: White makes your body more outstanding. People will scream at your body.

Blah blah blah...

Vic: But Elaina says black!
Jac: Then get the black!
Vic: But the white is cool too!
Jac: Get both then.
Vic: But my parents will kill me.

Then it went on and finally, at around past midnight i sms-ed her about her choice.

She replied "i bought both."

Tell me, should i just go kill myself?

The fickle-mindedness of a girl.

1 more day to go

I was anticipating to be under this amount of stress during the entire of this week.

But it's the total opposite.

I've slept more than i usually do in the noons. Took more than just naps.
(If 2 hours of sleep is considered "nap", then yes, i take naps)

And i studied lesser than usual. Not like i study a lot every other day that isn't near exams. My last minute of chionging(includes skimming through the pages of my notes) starts after dinner till 9p.m where i start settling down to watch my 9p.m show on channel 8.

AND, surprisingly, the mid-year exams weren't as killer as i thought it would be. After every paper, i thought to myself, "Phew, it isn't that hard after all."

Wait till the results come out, it'll scare the poop out of me, like this guy here:

幸福就在眼前

Amidst fun and laughter in school, we are all facing immense stress from the mid-years looming just overhead. Couple of funny things today...

Vic: "你不要装可怜啦。"
Me: "我不用装，因为我是很可怜的。"

Then during Lit Intensive Revision after school, while Belle was furiously writing notes, Vic and i were daydreaming away...

Vic: Why is Belle copying notes today? She doesn't do that normally... must be 临时抱佛脚"
Me: "我都还没抱到佛脚啊!"
Vic: "我星期二才抱佛脚."

This is what's going on in Vic's mind all day or probably more... don't think i don't know =p

My heart skipped a beat

Today as i was walking up to class after recess, my heart started racing at higher speeds than usual. Then i felt a very thundering heart throb along the passage from my heart to my throat. I felt faint, dizzy and breathless.

I thought i was going to faint... it seemed like the movies where someone would just collapsed along the streets.

For the rest of the day, i had the slight feeling of it now and then...

My heart needs extra love from me...

I was so afraid it would stop beating for me.
