I took up Mummy’s package and had a great facial and massage in a really pretty room with an attached bathroom at Marina Mandarin’s St Gregory’s. My face is like the moon, so many craters… and I had just finished dim sum and so everytime she pressed, I felt the dim sum moving in my stomach. =)
It was the funniest girl’s birthday and may she be blessed with all the love in the world. I love Yixin!
I love Menotti’s dessert and I like them more at half the price. We had a little gathering with her SCGS classmates and the rest of us in attendance.
On a side note, I need to complain about Limin. She passed her driving one year ago and I am still driving her around. She tells me that she will only chauffeur me in 2012, after Medicine School! Can you believe it? Though I do not foresee her ability to recognise roads will improve in 4 years. mmmm… I like her daddy more. He drove me home after council and he thinks that I am a lovely girl =) Right.
Limin and I watched Sweeney Todd on New Year’s Eve, after both our reunion dinners. We decided to make it a dressed-down-fbt-outing so we went to the nearest cinema at Great World City (which is a 7 minutes drive from my place and 2 minutes drive from hers). And so, I went in my jersey and fbts, complete with Havianas slippers and of course, Winston’s big ratty AC sweater. So damn comfy and we looked like we rolled out of bed and straight to the cinema.
Anyway, it was a damn terrible show to watch and I swear the only thing that was CNY about it was the REDness of the blood. The illogical killings were getting on my nerves and it was deliberately tacky with the BRIGHT red blood and the cuts spurting blood, screaming “Happy Tree Friends”. Crap. I felt that I was going to have a gruesome nightmare with the thoughts of cannibalism and rotting human flesh cooked in pies consuming my brain. Ergs!
Ben Liew is so funny. Yay!! We are going to Bristol together for Exchange!! I can cook water and he can cook fried eggs. We will be great partners.
Things go a little mad when the clock strikes 12, most especially in the studyroom of NUS Law School. Too many schizo humans around.
Junbin can dance!! Haha…ermm… Barely…I still think he should stick to badminton.
Let me tell you about this keelboat, the Jumping Jack…
So, we were dreaming and painting colourful pictures of IFs and WHENs we buy “Jumping Jack” (A yacht is a ’she’ and so they should name it after a girl right…so anyway…). We went down to RSYC, all of Justin, Chong, Meiling and I, we looked at the boat and we went, ‘errr…this is Jumping Jack?’ How come? Because it looks just like RSYC Dua, which we have been sailing on and we think that RSYC Dua suck. The only thing that is lacking on Jumping Jack is the fricking chunk of barnacles that grows at the keel of RSYC Dua, otherwise they look just as bad- it doesn’t have a fibre-glass hull, the fenders are rotting, the strings are worn thin, the mast is somewhat rusting and the hull probably needs another $2k to repaint and sand. But still, we want to buy it! Why? Because at the end of the day, it is still our dream, we think that if we put in another $5k to re-do and somewhat ‘renovate’ it, we can create The dream. Practically, that doesn’t even include the price tag for the boat or the cost of the new sails we will need in the near future.I want the boat for us even though it is not the best there is.
We need NUS to fork out $15k and that is going to be very challenging. At the last negotiation, they have offered $10k. On another plan, we can all share the cost and let it be our racing yacht, if so, the price is not even the biggest problem- there will be issues of maintenance, berthing, commitment, usage, costs, skippers and crews. It is like getting a wife or buying a car. Shag. So annoying.
Winston came up with a funny acronym (after thinking about it for quite long…) to reflect the Law School phenomenon :
STILT = Spouse That Is Legally-Trained
Do you have one?
