me LOVE fridays~!

finally a torturous week at school has ended, only to continue in 2 days time.
school has been terror with a capital T!
i didn't imagine A levels to be that tough... :(
the stress of it all.

waiting to my hair to dry before i head out.
dinner at Pasta de Waraku, been dying to try that!!
25% discount for students you see!
OI, dun think i'm aunty ah, you'd go for the deal if you're me! xDD



babyy has been away the entire week(since wed),
at some far far away place in tanjong pagar.
he's working somewhere there, but the working hours are killer!
gawd, he gets home so drained from energy every night,
and i'm drained from doing all my school work and attending lessons till 4+, 5 everyday!
we talk on the phone like 2 living-dead zombies,
and i bet the minute his head hits the pillow, his eyelids will immediately close shut like those heavy metal shutters. :(
poor baby.. and poor me too,
for i miss him badly as well.


chia, joan, jasmine and kim came back to NY today,
met them for lunch during my one-and-only hour break today,
the school timetable seriously sucks.
by 2pm, i'm already brain-dead. i need more breaks in between.
anyways, my fav yongtaufoo stall which was not hoarded by gazillions of people today allowed me to have a good lunch.
chia ate that too(along with her usual request of overflowing chilli! seriously, it reminds me of overflowing larva)
OMG running late, more another time! ~


p/s: like a million people has told me that baby and me look alike! =X i'm beginning to see it too. hmms.

EXAMS AE OVERRR~! weeee!!

done with exams, but back to school in a few days time! :(
ultimate sadness, where have my holidays gone?
the next bigg bigg holiday i can look forward to is after my A's,
but that seems like a gazillion lightyears away from now!

anyways, straight after 3 gruelling hours for my geog paper,
with fingers sore from gripping the pen so tightly,
i sped over to baby's place, and we got readyy to go for dinner~!!
i was super starvin' cos i skipped lunch before my paper,
BIGBIG mistake.
one hour into the paper, to my utter embarrassment,
my stomach gave an unmistakably LOUD growl!
such a paiseh moment.

when i got there, babyy surprised me with a sunflower!!!
it was so bright andd pretty~!

I ADORE SUNFLOWERS LIKE MADD!
just brightens up my already-happy mood!

but i magically transformed it into TWO sunflowers~!

TADAAS~ impressed?


camwhore abit before we left,
many failed attempts but at least this one turned out all right.

*sniffs sniff*
curiousity didn't kill tingly.

clambering onto the sunflower to catch a stronger whiff!
its scent was so strong that it filled the entire room with the smell of fresh flowers,
extremely refreshing and delightful!
its even better than the aroma-smokey thingg that i have in my room!
love <3>

baby, what's with that face?
*babyy i need dinner badly!!*
awww you look like sucha sad little rum ball (:
ultramannn~ ULTRAMANNN~!!!!
see the cute axe its carrying?
me and babyy spent about 5 games at the pasar malam at amk to finally win two of them axes!
its so much more than just an inflatable axe!
its not only portable, but extremely fun when me and baby start whacking the crap outta each other with those axes.
LOLS, as usual, i win! (:
VIVIENNE-1, JUSTIN-0!

ULTRAMAN: " i will conquer you!!! don't think i cann be bullied just cos i'm filled with air!"
gosh, ultraman looks like some freakyy alien abducting babyy in this picture!
don't worry, i'll save you! :D

after all that, we finally headed out to dinner,
but before that, we headed to topshop to get baby's present.
couldn't find the shirt he wanted, but he eyed another one.
elton scone.
the blue glittery thingyy was dazzling, andd he looked mad nice in it!
so it was sucha good buy!
finally headed to dinner at ryoichi sushi again, cos i missed my smoked salmon and mango sushi,
while baby couldn't wait to get his hands on his soft shell crab roll!
when we arrived, all the booth tables were filled,
shocking to be rather crowded on a wednesday night.
i presume everyone would be at home, and only special cases like us would be out for dinner on a wed night. guess i was so wrong.
we were slotted into a two-seater located beside this glass division,
whereby next door was Thai Express.
andd there was a couple sitting there right beside us,
so it seemed like we were dining with them,
rather uncomfortable but no more seats available.
after we decided what to order, there was an available booth seat and i was so happy about it!
i was all out to rating them 4 out of 5 for services,
but further on into the dinner, i was more and more disappointed.
firstly, my salmon and mango sushi still tasted delicious,
but it has reduced greatly in size.
baby's soft shell crab was even more of a disappoinment for him,
cos the size was reduced by nearly half of it.
but he enjoyed his salmon cheek, andd the beef was absolute yums!
WORSE THING happened was the damage done to my beloved sunflowers!
when we first entered, the waitress kindly offered to keep it in the fridge for me,
when she said fridge, little did i expect it to be the FREEZER where they store the bloody ice cream.
my poor sunflower wilted within 15 mins of removing it from the freezer,
but luckily it only affected 1/3 of my pretty sunflower.
i withdrew backk any good ratings i had to the service immediately,
for they should have known better than putting it in at sucha low temperature.
sunflowers and ice cream are two different things,
andd the damage was only done after i left the restaurant.
totally bummed out by that..
now my sunflowers stand facing my window,
with only 2/3 of the flower still retaining its pretty yellow petals,
the rest have gone brown from the exposure to the sun this morning! hmpfs!
anyways, although it did affect my mood, i still had a great night out!
andd no more exams to stress my brain cells for a while. :)
babyyy was in his new shirt today!
<33
headed to Din Tai Fung todayy for dinner!!
we were gonna try the Steamed Chilli Crab XiaoLongBao!
limited edition in conjunction with singapore food fest,
until 31st aug only!
although that was our primary motive,
we missed the original xiao long baos there as well,
so we did the craziest thingg and ordered two whole baskets of xiaolongbao!(10 piece each)
andd the chilli crab thingy, steamed yam paos, and a plate of their crazily delicious dan chao fan!

*did we order too much??? its alrighty, my mighty expandable stomach to the rescue!*



showing signs of impatience that the food hasn't arrived yet.
but it was pretty prompt.
5 minutes after we've placed our orders, our piping hot baskets of food arrived!! xDD

WOOHOOO~!!! chiili crab xiaolongbaos!
scream for more!
andd this is the maddest thing we have done,
two baskets of xiaolongbaos will not only make you extremely bloated to the max,
but it will also leave you not craving for xiaolongbaos for a longlong time.
too much of a good thing just kills the yearning for it.
so, the next time you're feeling greedy, order one basket,
and decide on ordering the second one only later into the meal!
this was one of the first few he ate,
he popped them into his mouth easily, (this was not his expression when he was eating his 8th one)
and they were maddeningly soupyy when you place the entire thing in and bite down on it!
i used to put it in on the spoon and nibble a tiny hole, before drinking the soup,
and then popping the remaining into my mouth.
but babyy's way of eating it is so much better!
the taste just fuses together~!

dessert: steamed yam pao!

PLAYINGG WITH FOOD!!!!
lols!
the yam pao was yummy!! but the skin was abit too hard,
babyy loved it though, he said it tasted like REAL bun!
lols. probably the normal ones taste kinda fake to him, right baby?
hadd sucha full dinner we practically ROLLED ourselves along to check out the Ion, where they really built a two-storey high LV outlet!
it was absolute GLAM, and oh-so-classy!!
but either its closed, or baby's theory that nobody dared step in the Louis Vuitton shop was true.
either way, we headed back to cine for our movie, Threads of Destiny.
was kinda...confusing,
and not much destiny-y stuff, except same birthday on the same unique day (29th feb)
and they went to the same school.
the ending was too abrupt and i didn't even expect it at all!
so i take it that its true when everyone says this is nto as good as sky of love,
although its the same director.
lols, i thought that abusive boyfriend of hers was mad though, and she was way too nice!
i missed watching movies so much,
really relaxing when its just the screen, surround sound system, and the accompanyment that makes it so complete and perfect. :)
gawdd how i miss going to the movies!!
anyways, still gotta get up for school tmr, drats!
hope i won't be late for class breakfast at 8.30.
i will try my very best to hear my alarm~!
goodnights people!
[[ that's what i love about youu. ]]]

this is EXACTLY what i mean.

this is the real thing,
andd guess what? every bit is true! =D

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer, that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. So have a cup now and then!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

cheers~! and credits to kate for this wonderful email! =D

hope you're having fun in Scotland, the pictures look great!

1 down, 3 more days to go!

shit i'm so not looking forward to wed.

wish me luck ppl. tatas!~
