Last meal of 2014.

SO DAMN YUMZ.

SUCHA CONCENTRATED AND SALTY SOUP BASE I LOVEEEEEE

NOODLES RIGHT HARDNESS I LOVE

CHASHU SO TENDER I LOVEEEE

TOGETHER WITH RAMEN EGG

OH AND THE FREE FLOW TAOGEI OMGGGG I think we almost finished a whole bottle

Best decision to end the year with this meal!!!! 

I WILL BE BACK KEISUKE TONKONTSU!

This year fireworks were different? 

Should be right since it's #SG50 bet they will make it more grand since it's the last segment of the show and starts 2015 with it.

Love the gold ones that falls like fairy dust! 

Didn't get full view cause we were further this year but the best parts are the ones higher in the sky anyway :D

Also no squeezing to get out of the area!

Had some starbucks at Suntec before we went to Plaza Sing for midnight movie.

  Prata for supper.

Lazing at Bugis+

To the temple for yj to baibai before attempting to take first train back

But we failed, it ws packed like sardines???

Where did the people come from seriously?

Waited for the crowd to clear and we only boarded the third one.

Not a bad thing cause we had seats muahahahahaha

Some lizard fell from the ceiling as we were walking back to hall

Scared the shit out of me as it landed with a loud thud and I saw something white

Thank God it didn't land on me I could cry if it did

Hope this means a good year ahead :/

Slept the whole of my New Years day though. 

Woke up at 4pm and lazed around for C to wake up.

Dinner at Miaoyi with C and his family.

Therefore conclude, my tastebuds can't appreciate atas food hahahah.

Haven't got to think of my resolutions though.

But seems redundant cause I don't seem to fulfill any of them every year.

#42 Feliz Navidad!

"tis the season to be jolly!"

So happy that Christmas is finally here!!! 

Heard this first during Christmas Service but Pentatonix's version is so so much better!!!

2 days of Christmas Celebration starts here!!!

Buffet Lunch on 23/12 at The Square @ Furama. 

I think this tops the list of the most expensive meal we ever had! 

$55++ per person but there's the 1 for 1 credit card promotion so we paid $64.75 in total for 2. Expected more variety for such pricing and a hotel buffet but mehhhhh. 

I was basically stuffing myself with salmon sashimi, boiled prawns, cereal crayfish and ribeye. 

We ate so much sashimi till we were saying we can stop eating sashimi for the next 6 months. 

But I realized I was so terribly wrong because I didn't mind having some sashimi the very next day! 

I guess this shows that salmon sashimi is my one true love ♥ 

Deserts weren't too bad according to C because they had the vanilla sauce for their Chocolate Cake Pudding (?) and some crumble cake which was constantly empty LOL so I guess it's really good. Didn't like the creme brulee though but I was so happy that there's eclaire! So bloated at the end but it was raining so it spoiled our remaining plan to go Orchard and Gardens by the Bay and we just went straight back to hall. 

Next day was the trip to S.E.A Aquarium since we managed to get cheap tickets! :D 

The original ticket price of $38 is such a scam! 

We finished the place even faster than River Safari and could be even faster if not for the Christmas Eve crowd. 

I rather spend my money on something else that can last me a full day or at least half a day. 

Didn't take much photos either since I don't appreciate fishes as much as bears/lions/horses unless you're talking about salmon sashimi hahahaha!

 This thing actually moves but rather lame show really. Not even educational.

 This stingray is damn cute instead of swimming like other stingrays it prefers to blob up and down. We went round the aquarium twice and both times it was doing the same thing.

Watching jellyfish blob up and down can be rather therapeutic surprisingly.

Off to Gardens by the Bay after dinner. 

It was drizzling when we reached and I was so sad ): 

Have wanted to come here ever since exam ended and it actually rained when I finally came??? 

C was like saying "you wanna just go?" and I interpreted it as go home instead and I felt pretty sad ): But he actually meant just proceed with plan despite the rain. 

And so we braved the drizzle (which eventually became lighter) to where the Spalliere is.

It is so damn chioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, even better on camera! 

Even though the so called snow was foam but it was quite an experience. 

Being in the Spalliere during Blizzard Time (Fake snow blizzard LOL) despite the rain and muddy patches was rather magical I will say. 

Merry Merry Christmas!!!! (:

 First photo after exams! Right outside the exam venue with the worst paper of the sem. But this also concludes the end of Year3 in NTU!!! GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEE will be back in year 4 (: So excited about not having to study for 4 months. 

First meal after liberation at Paradise Dynasty! I can eat ramen everyday omg.

So happy to finally see a christmas tree even though it's so pathetic cause it's so tiny hahahahaha! Ah my holidays still have yet to sink in that you're finally here!

Get yourself a bf who loves soccer so much that you have to be prepared to spend 90% of dates at sports store looking at soccer boots until you can even know what are the lastest design and colours. Interested parties please do contact me for free boots consultation with Mr C. Advice guaranteed with his materials science knowledge and passion for soccer!!!

Day 2 celebration after fixing my phone (which died after 2 days ohgosh thankfully for warranty, gotta fix it again on tuesday and they better not make me pay any more money >:( ) with hotspot fried fish maggie tomyum and llaollao!!! Hotspot's tomyum is so saturated with tomyum taste I think it's fitting to call it tomyum stew instead hahahah. The maggie is different also, it's QQ okay like korean ramen just that it's thinner! And llao llao is the best choice to bring down the heat!

Please always choose Rafaello sauce instead of chocolate/caramel/any others because Rafaello is what makes it worth the hype! Same goes for caramelized cooki for crunch and mango! We are gonna come up with a perfect combination 1 day!

Day 3 with church followed by Nam Nam and Andersen's Sundae by the fountain hehehe

Still can't express how happy I am that exams have ended, waited so long for this period to come where we don't have to worry about going home to late and having to get a study table. December has to be fulfilling before IA and it's back to same ol' work routine. Not quite sure how I will adapt to the life of an engineer though :/

#39 Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee

If one day you're at the ICA and you happen to feel hungry, no worries for there's a really famous Bak Chor Mee just 5 minutes away!

 From the ICA, walk towards the canal and look for block 446, that's where is stall is located at!

Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee
Block 466 Crawford Lane 

#01-12 Singapore 190465

Do yourself a favour and do AVOID peak hours!

We went after collecting my passport at about 12.30pm on a Saturday.

A very bad decision made.

C had to queue for more than an hour before we finally got to eat this bak chor mee.

C said it's because the stall owner is the only one cooking and he takes his time to prepare every dish. Probably to upkeep his reputation as one of the best in Singapore.

Noodles were good. Aren't soggy and doesn't have the flour aftertaste.

Sauce makes you want more of it, probably due to the amount of black vinegar added.

Flatfish was used to substitute pork lard.

Pork liver was excellent, done just right. 

And the soup is also a highlight, full of flavorful with a dense meat cloud that you can't even see the bottom of the bowl.

C said it was rated by Makansutra as a die die must try dish.

Well... I do agree to a certain extent. 

It is definitely one of the best Bak Chor Mee I have tasted till date. But, however nice a Bak Chor Mee is, will never make me want to sacrifice 1 hour of my life to queue for 20 minutes of enjoyment.

Will go back for it, but only at non-peak periods.

Just commemorating that I survived my worst hell week in NTU out of the 5 sems that I've been here.

3 tests, 2 assignments, 2 lab reports. 

Thankful for ending Saturday with a good date and enjoyable service.

(They sang all my favorite songs :D) 

2 more weeks to end of Year3 Sem1!

And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.

For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Mark 11:22-24

Pain is temporary, GPA IS FOREVER!!!!

#38

Some days... Especially on days like this make me more doubtful than ever of my choices.

#37 If I Die Young

I like how google compiles burst shots into a gif, such a sweetie :3

Wedding dinner of oldest cousin 2 weeks ago. Photos with ma couzzies instead of the main stars of the day hahahha.

It's weird how aunties & uncles come along and ask "when is it gonna be your turn?" Like hello guyssssss, just legal this year and halfway through uni so I guess not anytime soon??? Hahaha, you can start saving your angbaos though ( ⋂‿⋂’)

Every Monday's food court Thai food yumz Ah Loy Thai, I'm so happy that you're at Jurong Point!

Pandan chicken and butter calamari are their best selling dishes. But tried out garlic pork since we are sick of the two already. It's rather good! Crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside with a hint of garlic taste!

Hell week the upcoming weeks, sincerely praying I manage everything well. 

3011 CA, korean essay submission, 3014 CA, korean quiz, 3015 technical report and business plan submission......

And the following week just needs to have 3012 CA and 3015 presentation on the ssme day, wtf please profs????

Time management is everything for the next 2 weeks! Can't wait to be done with uni, but I think of FYP in Y4 and I'm not exactly ready nor excited for it pshhhhhhhh

Just in case, I don't manage to survive(~_~;) (actually just testing out a new app lawlz)
