Sunset Way

This is the 2nd week of school. I am adapting well. I just need to improve my time management so that I can complete all my assignments, projects and do the things I like to do. There are 2 movies I want to watch!!! Ratatouille and Evan Almighty!

Its hard coordinating and arranging meet up times with project team mates. Due to the nature of the year 1 timetable, all my classmates comes from different schools. When everyone has a different timetable, its so hard finding a common meet up time. 4 modules = 4 projects = 16 different teams members = 15 different timetables. Why 15? Because I am lucky enough to find 1 team member who has the EXACT timetable as I do. I guess all my Saturday and Sundays are burnt.

Its alright. Studying is still a lot better than my days spent in Lim Chu Kang. I need to learn how to take control rather than let the environment control me. Its a damn tough skill to acquire...

Anyways, I have something to report. Apparently, the West Coast GRC is trying to turn Sunset Way into the next Holland Village. Here is my picture field report and the sport bar which Azmi's friend opened.

Sunset Tavern - Come here to catch all your favourite EPL matches. New place to check out for the WESTIES

Saturday

I went for the photo editing course organised by AsoC today. The course is quite useful... I have had some experience using Photoshop, so I don't find the course that interesting. I think next week's course on video editing will appeal more to me.

The girl sitting all the way to the front did a pretty good design on food

I signed up for this course alone but I was glad to see familiar faces at the course. Grace, Nazir, Pei Mun, Charlene, Cindy, Shi Qi, Samuel, Xu Yan and Shi Qi signed up for the course.

Shi Qi brought this

Lunch at Manhattan

Ok, enough of all the sob stories. Time for happy stories. My SMUX group met up for lunch at Manhattan yesterday. Lets start with the food.

Baked Fish with Herbs

Manhattan is another spawn of Fish and Co. The food is just so so. I ate baked fish with herbs and chips. It was quite a good choice because it isn't as oily as the Original Fish and Chips. The Original Fish and Chips tasted quite bad. The chips are good. Very tasty. Haha.

Delicious Chips

For the price and quality, I will not go back for a second time. I still prefer Fisherman's Wharf's Fish and Chips.

Time for more interesting pictures!

Ah Ma, I love you...

I was quite emo this morning. Today is my grandmother's 2nd year death anniversary. Tears just rolled down my eyes when I offered the incense. I just couldn't help it.

2 years ago I was devastated when I know that my grandmother had passed away. At that point in time, I was halfway through exercise NUTCRACKER in SISPEC. I only knew about it a day after she was gone. Sometimes Army is just full of shit. I cannot believe that they refused to break the news to me the moment they knew about it.

3 days before my grandmother passed away, grandma told me that she was feeling very tired, cannot make it already. I knew that something was wrong. I asked her to stopped what she was doing and go rest. It was not enough...... If only I had done something more. This would not have happened.

Ah Ma, I miss your popiah and prawn mee!

This is life. People just come and go. If you always take things for granted, you will regret it when they are gone. So treasure all the people who are around you...

Tuesday with Morie taught me this - Live everyday of your life as if it is your last. If I ever gonna go tomorrow, I just want to spend my final moments recollecting the best times I had with all of my dearest friends.

First Day of School

I don't like going to lessons not knowing anybody in the class. It feels so lonely.

Day 1 has been kind to me. Eugene is in my Analytical Skills class. Crystal, Iman and Yi Heng are in my Statistics class. Eugene is my project team mate. Haha. I am so lucky! Seeing familiar faces makes me happy. Knowing more people makes life easier. When in doubt, you can always try to ask them for help. At least there is a chance of having people to lend you a helping hand.

Other than those in my class, who else did I see today? Shi Qi, Samuel, Yu Wen, Cindy, Kryser??, Nicholas, Amelia (girl in HOT orange), Weiyang aka Earthworm and Qin Lei. Qin Lei looked so cute sleeping on the MRT. Her head swinging to and fro like an inverted pendulum. Haha. Quite unglam. Opps.

Textbooks are piling up on my table. I am glad that I managed to grab a 2nd hand statistics textbooks for only $15. Old textbooks are good. There are plenty of "treasures" in them.

I am very sure the previous owner is a girl. Look at those neat red tabs! Thanks for taking good care of this book! I'm going to repackage it and sell for $20. This will earn me a neat profit of $5. Not too bad. Haha.

I am loving my X61 more with each passing day. I'll feel so lost without you, so you better not crash on me. Perhaps I should give you a name... SOMEONE suggest TARD. No way am I going use this reTARDED name. Haha :P

Convocation 2007

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Finally, convocation is over. That means school is going to start in 3 days time.

The start of any new school term is always frightening. You have to find out your timetable, get new textbooks, read up for lectures etc. Finding out what to do is not the problem. The problem comes when you don't even know you need to get some things done. Nobody's going to spoon feed you. You are on YOUR OWN. This is fun. More adventures and mishaps await me. I just have to pray that I am good enough to "siam" all these nonsense.

I was quite disappointed that I could not have dinner with my FTB team mates. Almost everyone has got something on. Crap. Next time, we must send out CALL, SMS and EMAIL for triple confirmation. We must also make sure that everyone eats. Not just sit there stone and watch others eat. Lastly, everyone must be booked a month in advance. Haha. This is ridiculous.

Twinny stop playing! Ha

Yes I was suffering some food cravings after convocation. I just had to get my fix and Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. It has been long since I ate their black fungus fried La Mian.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I've always got a wierd way of eating Xiao Long Baos. I will always finish the XLB skin and dump the rest of the ingredient in the spoon. Next, I will finish the meat without the soup. Lastly, I'll drink the essence of the Xiao Long Bao. Woot!

Damn, it was quite pathetic eating alone and watching the rest of the SMU people having fun with their own groups.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

The serving of fried noodles was larger than the norm. I took too long a time to finish the noodles. As a result, the XLB became dry. I should have asked them to serve me the XLB after finishing my noodles. It was a bad move on my part.

They have got some new Xiao Long Baos on the menu. I gonna try their hotplate XLB some day

I know how to enjoy life. I will do everything that is within my means and limits to get myself comfortable. I don't know when I am going to die. Tomorrow? Next week? 20 years later? 60 years later? God knows. I just don't want to die with regrets, especially to die missing out on all my favourite delicacies. :P
