i badly need a holiday!

yesterday's saturday was no ordinary saturday,
it was national day!
sorry i had to miss 0825's class outing cos i had something on in the afternoon..
hope u guys had fun!
i'm sure you all did!
not affected by the rain at all!
(heard this from jodi and keqin when i met them at yck mrt)

anyways, was heading down to bugis at around 6 to meet yx.
i walked around bugis junction and nearly got lost,
the place is freakin` big although it looks quite small when you first entered.
i took 20 mins to find the bloody toilet..
denn after that i jus gave up trying to find my way around and just wandered along all the different shop.
it was then i realised how awfully boring it is to shop alone.
FINALLY, yx turned up and we went for dinner.
we bought mostly korean snacks and smuggled them to pasta mania,
intended on secretly eating it there but we got the seat right smack IN FRONT of the counter.
so it was a teeny weeny hard to consume outside food.

SIDETRACK:

pictures of my nails.
okay i have no idea what this is,
but it looks abit stripish.
i should have just stuck to those nail stickers rather than
attempt to paint on a pattern myself with toothpicks.
it didn't turn out as nice as before.


okay,
so afer we left pasta mania,
our next impromptu decision was to go to starbucks for a drink.
we were supposed to try and see if we're lucky enough to be able to see the fireworks.
so we chose a nice outdoor seat where we had a clear view of the sky!
this is the first time i've been to starbucks with yx lah.
hahahahahaha.


MOCHA ICE BLENDED. (venti)
is venti like large in french or something?
i had great difficulty pronouncing the word too.
and how on earth do you pronounce grande?
is it like GRAND without the eyyy, or grand-eyyy.
forget it, sticking to ordering tall since its the only one that's simple enough to say.



five minutes after we're nicely settled in and about to begin our gossip session,
the smell of smoke floated over and nearly choked us both to death.
we were abit peeved cos although it was outdoors,
the NON-SMOKING sign was clearly pasted on the table.
gawd, if we wanted to get lung cancer(touch-wood),
we'd rather smoke than be killed as passive smokers.
its so selfish of these people, really.
lucky for us, some couple just moved so we took their place
FAR FAR away from the guy who was smoking.
denn we went on to talk about smoking, and all the silly things we could do with cigarettes
and how our moms would totally freak if we actually took up smoking.

i've never felt so relaxed in sucha long time,
jus sitting there made me feel like i was on some kinda holiday.
the weather was really great too, cool windy breeze.
people all around were engaged in their own chit-chats,
accompanied by the occasional burst of laughters.
no exception especially for me and yx.
half the night i was laughing away until my stomach literally hurt!

this is the tornado chips that they sell at the korean snack stall.
its not only damn addictive but it can compete with any potato chip in the world!



AND THIS...
is called. deoju seomthing something....
korean spicy rice cake.
its (according to yx) the snack that the girl starring in the show princess hours(goong) likes to eat.

OKAY, this one, dun try unless your fren recommends it to you
or you're really into korean food.
it looks not bad right?
but the minute i popped one in my mouth,
my mouth was ON FIRE!
i downed 1/4 the cup of the mocha ice blend before i actually recovered.
yx, being the stronger chilli holder, said it tasted fine but she didn't really like the rice cake
which tasted like goo.
hahaha, its abit on the chewy, hard-to-swallow side.
but if it weren't so hot, it'd actually be edible.
AND IT SMELLS LIKE HAMSTER...
hahahaha. seriously, when i first took a whiff of it,
i was there thinking why it smelt so familiar and then i realised...
has the exact same smell as my sister's hamster.
alright, but dun get turned off.
give everything a try man!
i spent the rest of the evening trying to scrape off the sauce of the rice cake before eating it.
looks pretty gross but the rice cake was honestly not that bad.
only managed to eat half of it,
we abandoned the rest of them.

a
round 10, we left starbucks and headed home.
my hp batt died on me(again) and i had no music to accompany me on my 30 mins train ride home.
utterly boring...
was a good outing, and the next time i noe where i can go to really chill out.
STARBUCKS!

i just hate it when i can't sleep in.
must have been the coffee kicking in its effect 12 hours later..
yesterday, despite being a saturday, i woke up at 8am.
gave yanlan a shock when i msged her so early in the morning.
BUTBUTBUT, i tried Macgriddles!
wuahahahas.
I LOVED IT!
unfortunately, when i got to the last quarter of the burger,
i got siann-ed of it.
the burger didn't taste nice anymore.
in fact, it began to taste mushy andd powdery in my mouth instead.
so i know the next time i eat macgriddles,
i'll have to split it with someone.

TODAY, i woke up at 8am as well...
so damn pissed.
i love sleeping in,
and i know i'm gonna regret not sleeping in for the next four weekdays
when i have to get up at 6am in the morning!

this is the one sunday i feel quite happy about.
because tomorrow there's no school! xDDD
wuahahahas.
alrighty, gotta go for church alr.
ENJOY YOUR DAYYY PEOPLE!
