So December's coming to a close, and school's starting again on Monday. Oh well, the hols feel rushed to me, been busy going out to eat, meet people, do projects etc etc.
On Xmas day, I went out with Jaslin and sanctuary members like Runex, Denver to Yaki n Yuki for their buffet lunch @ 12pm. Twas a long queue when we arrived, and in the midst of our lunch there was a blackout (yesh, lights out) for about 10 mins or so before the staff restored the power. For some unfathomable reason, the cooker? stove? thingy at our table refused to work properly .. soup base wouldn't boil, gah. But the food was cooked so its ok I think. Mostly enjoyed it, and I think for the next outing we're going to a pub to count down to New Year. Yesterday, I went back to Dr Chen @ Glenagles, four months after my op. After doing an ultrasound for me, he said my uterus seemed fine, and to see him again in 6 months, like whoa. Then, my mum and sis came to meet me from their shopping, and we proceeded to CentrePoint's Eastern Restaurant (tucked away at the basement opposite Parkway Thai) for dinner.
We got the xiao long bao (highly recommended, wins Crystal Jade's), the soup just steams and the meat's juicy n tender; and then my favourite dumpling stuffed with glutinous rice, I don't know what it's called but OMG I love it, one basket is definitely not enough. Then we got Shanghai Noodle Soup with Pork Ribs, I still enjoy this the second time round ^^ There was Double Boiled Chicken Soup, which I thought was a tad too salty but it had a nice aroma; Crab meat Soup Dumpling and Eastern Yi Ping Steamed Dumpling. Honestly, I can't taste any difference in the dumplings =x and we got an extra xiao long bao hehe cos the waitress who took the previous 2 baskets away didn't see another waitress giving us the extra :p For dessert, we had Rice Puff with Red Bean Paste, I recommend this too, it's lovely. This time round however, we didn't get the Shanghai tang yuan with rice wine .. bit bitter. Spent about $70 for the 3 of us, will definitely want to go a third time.
GE wise, my male wizard finally hit expert, now my Bern is left with 1% to expert. And for those still in the Xmas mood, check out this video by our famous GE producer Tokoyoshi:
And that's about all for updates. Ta~
P.S: I miss my Dale
P.S.S: I hope you enjoyed your vacation Ben ^^

December 13, 2008
Phew. Gotten lazy and forgot to update for a while :p
Ok, I do have valid excuses like projects, homework, dating, outings so .. I guess I'm covered? heh
My tests results came back, did OK for 2, and flunked my Java. Now why am I not surprised .. And there was another Java test which I think I'll do ok, waiting for results to be back.
Anyways, holidays are here! Woot! 2 week term break .. tho I have project meetings and stuff, but I'll try to rush my vets to experts if I can. And tomorrow, my mum's going to KL for a week, because she's the IC in charge of the NUS Shooting Team (they're having their games there) so the onus falls on me to stay home and babysit my siblings. Hell yeah, I love this job. Not gettin' paid for it. I wish I was.
Pics~ Lets see, here's a screenie of my female fighter, Elentari posing with my gorgeous columnimbus shield (yeah like WOOT I own one of the LG series :p)
Tada, my steel sword that I bought from Sakazaki today ^^ Preping up for Selva, booya~
DragonFable wise, I've run out of ideas on how to decorate my hallway .. gah I want more Sandsea themed stuff so I can go all out for the Egyptian theme, but my bedroom already features that theme .. and worse, I don't have space for a bathtub T_T I've the bathroom ready, but the bathtub looks retarded with a rubber ducky zz. Ah never mind, I'll take my time decorating.
Come tomorrow, Marvin and I will have been together for hmm, 5 weeks. Time really flies (no kidding) and I'm happiest when I'm with him .. but like, this week, babysitting duty; plus if his mum comes over from Indo for goodness knows how long .. crap. Means we don't see each other for a while .. gah, I hate how things are going, but there's nothing I can do about it.
That's all for the meantime .. and I'd meant to watch Twilight in the cinemas but .. I has watched it online today :p (And nope not from Limewire) Its good to save money yanno? The movie, I think its decent but the director could have done a better job, some parts look fake. And I find it funny, that this book that I read long ago, and went gaga over long ago; is only being recently picked up by my peers, who give Meyer glowing review on their Facebook, Friendster profiles and stuff. Yeah, its actually hillarious to me, but don't feel offended. And anyway, I would never have know about the book if not for SapphireDarkness (SD), my old friend from my EL days who told me. So yeah, happy hols and merry Xmas all!
