An eventful Kopitiam trip
Thanks to 3 late people, i was "nominated" to go get dinner for everyone at audible hearts yesterday....

orders I received
1. Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large
2. Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit
3. 2 popiah no chili
4. Yupian milk
5. Yupian fried no milk

In the process of the 5 min walk from hpb to sgh kopitiam, I strategically planned the sequence in which I shall buy the food...

I decided to start with order number 1 so as to prevent lugging around of 3 packs of soupy stuff...

I approached the stall, whip out my iPhone, and read the order out word for word...

(Kenneth Ler is a super glutton... and I feel so paiseh placing such a greedy order since I m so not a greedy person)

I look up from my iphone and I was met with smiles from the stall's aunty. You know the kind of laugh-at-you smile. And I tot it was due to the ridiculous order...

Aunty says: "Zhe li bu mai shao rou, zhi mai ya fan! "

I was lyk huh??

Cos my brain somehow don't register spoken Chinese anymore... (esp after sec 4)

So I proceeded to repeat the ridiculously long order

"Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large"

And the aunty repeated what she said...

And I finally got wad she meant -_-

I took a step back look up at stall sign and realised I was indeed at duck rice stall... omg so malu

Moving on to the next order, I went to the right stall and whip out my iPhone n read the order:

"Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit"

The uncle was like
"what tine???"

I said:
"no intestine"

Uncle point to his bowl of raw liver and say
" don't want liver isit? Zhe li mei you what-tine..."

I was like okay crap he don't have intestine in any of his ingredient bowls so I figured that yockie placed her order wrongly resulting in my malu-ness ):

Throughout the whole process of cooking the noodle, the uncle kept laughing away and repeating "what-tine?"

So as soon as it food wad ready, I quickly took it and left...

Moving on to the next order...
I was collecting my popiah order (that went rather well) when i noticed the noodle shop uncle frantically waving in my direction...

" ni de mian!! Ni de mian mei na"

Huh I thought I collect already?
But how come he really seems to be calling me??

Everyone was lyk looking at me so I decided to walk over to the shop...

Turned out I took the soup without the mee...

Another reason for the uncle to laugh ):

Thankfully the yu pian mi fen orders were not as problematic as the rest...phew...

Hopefully I won't need to get dinner for everyone in near future (:
spare myself some malu-ness haha... (:

Bus Trauma
Friday night's bus ride home from HPB was really memorable....
In a horrible and disgusting way ):

Because the bus was INFESTED with COCKROACHES!!!

Not just any cockroach, these are really HUGE and FAT and THICK

I shall hereby provide you a vivid account of my experience...

An old creepy, but otherwise innocent, bus 54 arrives after 10 min of waiting time at around 9:30pm...

Me board bus. Engrossed in ep 7 of glee on my iPhone...

Find a seat near the front n happily watch glee...

Cockroach no. 1:

Suddenly my peripheral vision caught sight of this muddish brownish roundish thingy scuttling around near my feet ...

Brain registers that it is a cockroach.

Me Panic but stay calm. Conscious effort to stifle scream. And successful at that. (So admirable right?)

Cockroach no. 2:

Move to middle back of the bus...Continue to watch glee...

Most unfortunately, i spotted yet another cockroach!!!!!!!

And this time, it's fatter n bigger than the previous ):

And a trickier situation too...

Simply because the cockroach strategically positioned itself smack in the middle of the narrow aisle of the 2 rows of seats.

Which made it really difficult to get out of my current seat.

considering the worse case scenario, my attempt to get out of seat may coincide with an irritating jerk of the bus, resulting in me stepping, not on, but very very near the cockroach, causing a disturbance that sends it flying to my leg.

Ewwwwww yuckkkkkkkk
(Life sucks.... Esp when there r cockroaches in it)

However, seeing that the pesty little thing seems to be advancing towards me....

I took a great leap of faith.

N managed to get out of there unscathed....

Again, I maintained my composure and shut my mouth.

Cockroach no. 3:

Oh yes. It doesn't stop there.

I sat down on yet another seat so I may enjoy the remaining of the ep of glee...

Clearly that was a wrong decision.

Because no. 3 came striding by from behind the seat.

This time round I'm sure I have earned the right to let out my signature scream.

So I did just that.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(acompanied with a jump out of the seat)

Luckily there were only 3 others who had the priviledge to experience my resounding scream (:

One of whom was an ang moh who spent the rest of his journey keeping his eyes on the seat where no. 3 was...

....

I was so so so so extremely grossed out by the whole journey that I bathed and bathed when I got home ):

I hate dirty buses. They make life suck.

I am determined not to spend the 2nd half of my life travelling via public transport, whatever it may take... ):

Being FAT
frm left: kaiyu , me , jess wong (in CHIJ kellock, around 6 yrs ago...)

i had a dream last night. i wouldnt call it a nightmare but i would say it wasn't pleasant ><
in my dream i was fat. again.
i couldnt see how i looked or how fat i really was. all i remember was being told repeatedly that i was fat...

i am NOT anorexic. or some superficial girl who's obsessed over keeping slim.
rather i feel that my slight paranoia over my weight is due to childhood "trauma".

it's probably not qualified to be considered a trauma.

since it's merely being singled out for around 1 yr (p3) to go for weekly TAF runs and being labelled as overweight (or borderline overweight to be specific)
and being told i am not running hard enough since i look lyk i didnt sweat enough.

Back then, i couldnt rmb making any big effort to get out of that category. And the label of being overweight was taken off one fine day after a height and weight session...as easily as it was slapped on me...

somehow or other, this experience did left a great impact on me.
But it's not as if i am super sensitive if someone says i m fat (since i lyk to eat so much, esp sweets), or a make conscious efforts to exercise (clearly i dont) or count calories (if i did i my classmates wouldnt be benefiting from my constant source of snacks)

...

looking back, i m wondering why the system would want to put pri sch kids that young into such categories and slapping labels on them....

since the sole purpose seemed to be for selecting children to go for the weekly half hr TOUGH run (or was it named TAF run? but i guess tt doesnt matter) and maybe for monitoring their weight (more closely than others).

which would actually benefit every kid. whether overweight or not. according to our health education textbook, 1 hr weekly of exercise from our PE lesson is highly insufficient to qualify for a healthy lifestyle.

so why not make TOUGH run a run for one and all?

why bother segregating the overweights?

Today! (:
I hv just been told by my fellow pharm chem muggers (namely Siling huimin and serene) that my blog sucks

Reasons as to y it sucks:

1. It's not "blog" enough
(according to them this means it shld chronicle interesting things in my daily life...plus they also showed preference for loong blog posts. Lyk > 500 words kind.):

2. There's no point in telling the world what chocolate I ate/have/want

3. It seriously lacks an element of entertainment

4. Huimin doesn't like her name to be featured







(so I shall feature a flattering photo of her instead. FYI, huimin is meticulously decorating her title of her pharm chem note. And evidently enjoying it :)

Okay in response to the above comments, my reason for having short blog posts is because my brain is generally incapable of sustaining such a long long train of thoughts.

N I made an effort to avoid narrating my life cos, as of now, it is really boring. It's mostly either mugging or slacking or getting bek chek over pharm chem...

As for chocolates, they r an integral part of my life.
Therfore it shall remain as a constant feature on my blog (:

However, I shall try to attempt writing a long post narrating my day:

Key highlights:

1. Tmr is a HOLIDAY!!

Which implies that PHARM CHEM TEST is POSTPONED!

Which means more room for procrasinating revision!!

Short term happiness...
But wad the heck. It's still a cause for happiness (:

(reminder to self: try to rmb not turn up in sch tmr.... Lyk wad u did 2 yrs ago thinking that there was maths eoy when there was in fact no paper):

2. Bio Mock was cancelled!

Long live POH!!


Interesting observation of the day:

1. Edmund lee makes it look lyk walking with crutches is a lot faster!

He "walked" frm one end of the LT in merely 3 to 4 swings of his crutch to get to his seat.
It was lyk the distance covered by every swing is twice the distance of a normal step....
And I think the entire LT was impressed (:

Not that I would ever want crutches la..

2. Serene's hp wallpp has a meaning.







It is meant to serve as a constant reminder that --

"the pen is mightier than the sword"

Seriously... -.-
