lol. odd title. anyway, happie 1.5years love! ^_^ no fancy celebration cos already celebrated liao. just spending time together beats everything else. =) oh... went to IT show ytd w bubu and jh. crapz. was so insanely packed. i bought a new optical usb mouse. was very tempted to hoot some other cheap deals (like 4gb sandisk thumbdrive for 29.90!) but ah bu sent me on a guilt trip each time i got tempted to, so that i won't splurge. meh! after that the 3 of us went for steamboat dinner at bugis! woot~ so long nv eat steamboat le. somemore walk so much whole afternoon, nothing like sitting down chilling with a nice steamboat dinner. we tried 4 flavours soup- herbal chicken, fish head soup, tom yan and ma la. lol~ food was yummy and shiok! company was great too. heh~
took 189 to west coast instead of 282 today. woot. was really earlier for service than usual. then i smsed ah bu cos i thought he hadn't reached. right after i sent the sms, i heard the nokia sms tone behind me, but i think i was too blur le. didn't realise that ah bu stand behind me very long le. lol. after service we went to eat at one of the shops behind church, had braised duck noodle. surprisingly, it tasted much nicer than it looked o.O later we went over to vivo for ben & jerrys. ran into candice (bubu's cousin) and her fren. had triple scoop - phish food, cookies cream & raspberry sth... her treat =)
sociology take-home exam this week. shucks. took me so long to come up with 400 words now 1200....gosh. i got no time la. so dead. somemore this weekend need to bring down the power supply unit down to sls for testing. craps la. how. *bothered*
my mom got me the curry paste for curry chicken already. now is WHEN TO COOK. damnit wor! no time -_-" and the lamb rack still in my freezer!!! JEEZ LAH! no time to cook. so sad! :(
end of ah bu's CA1s. finally caught p.s. i love you at cine today, with him. i felt the show was quite nice and meaningful. the person who wanted to watch it more felt that 'it was alright lah.' gah. anyway, i felt that near the beginning of the show, the time just right after jerry died, was painful to watch. i couldn't hold my tears when holly was dialing jerry's mobile phone repeatedly to hear his voicemail message just so she can hear his voice, now that he's no longer around. and when morning came, she made coffee for 2. at night before she turned in, she just sub-consciously, out of habit asked jerry to switch off the bedside lamp. sad. =( but i guess, there are certain meaning bits that was mentioned and i felt that it was really good. like how the mother said that the second most painful thing a parent can experience aside from losing a child is seeing the child walking the same wrong path that the parent had walked before and there's nothing the parent can do about it. no wonder the mother seem so bitter and grumpy always. and also the bit about how, in the end, all of us are going to be alone, (that's why we need God!) and in that sense, all of us are together too.
on to the title of this entry. i love/hate the internet! lol. REALLY! As much as I am truly thankful for the vast amount of information that can be found on the web, be it gossip, for educational purposes, news, easy access to videos etc, i absolutely loathe it for making time pass so fast when im using it!!!!! I know it's no fault of the web lah, but i just want to whine. lol! it's like when im online, possibly doing NOTHING even, 1 hour of time just ZOOMS pass like 5mins! WHAT IS THIS! But when im offline, time flows at a more humane rate. haha. alright. less complaining so that i can get my lazy ass off to work. still have yet to accomplish anything today. jeez.
gah. went to sit for cell bio CA1 today. gosh. disgustingly evil paper. why? 4 structured questions choose 2 and 20 True-False MCQs. Sounds do-able right? Thought so too, until i saw the format and nearly fainted. the 20 MCQs of True-false had negative marking. -1 for each wrong answer, +1 for each correct answer. whoa okay. There's more. Each mcq question consists of 5 true or false statements. -_-" HELLO?! That's like 20 x 5 = 100 MCQs! and 2 structured questions?! And must be done in 1 hr 40 mins!? SO INSANE! Then the lecturer keep making announcements/reminders. distracting eh and nv extend somemore! so evil.....haiz....at least bioinfo they still gave time extension to compensate the disruptions. oh well.
Tomorrow. Postmortem for experimental CA1. 30%. Oh sheet. Don't really wanna know. 30% of a 6MC module. Can almost calculate what grade or how much my CAP will be pulled down by it this sem. ;_;
On a happier note. This yr is leap year-which means i was born on a leap year too! ages with multiples of 4 are born on leap year :P Anyway, on 29th of Feb friday, chun, ah bu and i met at the clementi macdonalds and had our last meal there. why last meal? Cos the clement mac ceased operations on 29 feb 2008. Think they going to tear down that old building for further development. Saded. That macdonalds had most of my childhood memories, and memories all the way till present age. gah. T_T after the breakfast, they headed over to my place for bible study session. my first. it was not bad, though i bombarded chun and love with quite a bit of questions. learnt quite alot about the Word. After that love and i cooked lunch for the 3 of us :)
TADA!!!
Roast Chicken
Woohoo. Verdict? The roast chicken we had prepared and marinated overnight turned out ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The stuffing of butter between the chicken breast and the skin really made a huge difference. The breast meat turned out very tender, totally didn't taste like breast meat. lol (We learnt that by watching Jaime Oliver's Xmas special. He did that, but using herb butter and on a turkey.)
Mushroom cream pasta
Okay. This was a let-down. lol~ Pales in comparison with the roast chicken. I think we added too little flour since that the sauce took ages to thicken.
Was glad chun enjoyed the food 'cos we're pretty pleased and very happy with it too! haha!
oh...thinking of cooking something on thursday/friday, if time permits. Curry curry OR Cream of Broccoli & Cauliflower soup with Potato & Tuna balls. (Can hover over the words & click them for recipe). WokkingMum makes the dishes seem easy to cook. Dunno how it would turn out if i were to do it. lol
