#363 can you understand this?/updates!

i feel like this sometimes but you don't seem to understand.

this is my last week at work, and i can't wait for the week to end! but that will also mean that holidays are drawing to end soon.. sigh. it's quite a bad start to the week, as i'm feeling sick.. seems like it's because both my parents are down with a flu bug too (my dad last week, my mum now)

i had a pretty good week last week! met Nick on tuesday and we had a simple dinner together and thereafter had the durian McFlurry from Macdonalds! walked around and all too..

then the next day derrick lixuan andrea alex and i met up to do the short video for hall's FOC! it was pretty hilarious cos we filmed it at a small room inside one of Ikea's showroom! we thought that it will be quiet but people kept walking past and alex found it so embarrassing cos he need to go topless for the video HAHAHA. it was all in all an amusing experience hehe. bon came over to take a look but we were done already, and yong yeh sat at the sofa right outside our room reading a book haha he's damn funny we thought that he was reading some random Ikea book at first!

our CGL looking cute in his headgear hahaha

met with Bao and Louis for dinner at the Cathay on thursday and we had cheap food at Saizeriya! :) after finishing we just hung around to chat and all.. although there was only the three of us, it was still damn fun talking about everything under the sun hehe ^^

friday was my course registration day.. the day i spent an entire afternoon trying to get a module with non-existent places :/ i had initially wanted to wake up really  late because i was super tired, but i awoke to messages that made me panic! i was told that i can't add modules that were not in the 'recommended track' for marketing students and that meant that i couldn't take accounting II this sem. i was seriously feeling extremely wth already because that meant that i had to change my schedule in the 2 hours right before registering for my course. but i changed my modules accordingly, replaced accounting with another marketing module.

however during the course registration itself, when i first clicked to add mods at 130PM exactly, the entire system lagged and i DIDN'T GET ANY OF MY MODULES. but it was a slight scare as over the next 10 minutes i got 2 of my core modules already. the last module was the freaking irritating one though. it was the module that i didn't want to take in the first place; service marketing, which i replaced accounting with. stupid module didn't have any spaces, and when i called NBS UPO, they told me that all the slots were filled up completely already. so tell me, why on earth does the school insist on us keeping to specific modules but not want to release more slots for it?! urgh.

so in summary, i didn't manage to get all my core modules :(

after registration, i went to meet Bao for dinner and we had the cheap Manhattan grilled fish meal along with their mud-pie which was damn good! then we just walked around looking at clothes and all hehe.

doesn't look too appetizing but the butter rice is the best. i usually hate rice, mind you ;)

MUD-PIEEEEE YUMZ! damn rich and just way too awesome! 

saturday was Beer Market flea day with yingjun! i didn't manage to buy much, just a dress, a second hand Mango denim jacket from the scarlet room's stall and pastel yellow shorts from Marching Daisy! (Joey's shop hehe) total loot only cost me $28 hehe was quite happy about it :) met Nick after his training and we went to Orchard Central for dinner! we went to this cafe called Dean & Deluca, which i absolutely love! the ambience was good and the mac and cheese which we had was damn yumz! we shared an apple strudel from Ritz too whoop.

i'm sorry about the bad lighting, didn't edit my photos :< 

yummy looking cakes and tarts! :)

occupied by a bun.

and then our food was done! mac and cheese with a small salad on the side! this was damn nice hehe i love it although it was a tad oily. but nonetheless it was still yummy cos the flavors were delish! :D

supper with the hallies on the same night at Geylang's frog porridge place hehe damn niceeee ^^ and it was a good time with them as always! oh, and it was the 3rd/4th consecutive day of seeing bao cos i saw her from sat night till sun the next day (after 12am) hehe.

then yesterday was spent chilling at home and ding came over for a run! we wanted to go for Gordon Ramsay but thankfully we didn't, otherwise we would have been mad squeezing with crowds!! hahaha.

so that sums up my previous week! my updates are pretty short cos i can't really think now.. my brain's kind of dead tired cos of my increasingly worsening flu too :(

{UPDATED}

i've added photos in, and some from the previous week too! the ones i took when i met up with michelle and yj, as well as dim sum from Sims Avenue 126 whoo ^^

its so cool how we all know one another ^^

we ate at a cheap Italian place called Saizeriya (which i had w Bao and Louis too) and spent only about $12 each despite ordering 2 desserts and one side dish to share, on top of our main dishes!

egg+potato+mushrooms+cheese+bacon. 3 out of my 4 favourite foods present! 

our lava cake which was disappointing for me as the 'lava' didn't ooze out :(

truffle ice cream! not bad! :)

i think that the place serves really decent food at an extremely reasonable price! plus side would be that the restaurant is situated in town, and it's difficult to find a place that serves cheap food so this would be pretty ideal for those on a budget :) the choices of food are good too, they even offer escargots at $5.90 if i'm not mistaken? i don't want to eat snails so i didn't order that haha.

went to 126 dim sum last friday with Nick after work! i had a traumatizing experience before i met him :< couldn't get in contact with him cos his phone died and we were at different sides of Aljunied. i absolutely detest BB now. the battery life is practically non-existent-.- thankfully he managed to get hold of a phone to call me and the person probably gave him directions to the Geylang East library (where i was) i never ever want to go through that again it almost made me cry cos i was frantically and desperately searching for a red Mazda :'(

we took a trip down his memory lane and went to look at his child care/student care centers! hehe. then we headed to 126 to have a quick dinner before our haircuts!

fried prawn rolls. i absolutely loveeee these. if you love har kows as much as i do, this would be perfect for you too^^ soft shell crab was good too! hehe. i prefer the prawn rolls while nick likes the crab more!

chee cheong fan with charsiew, xiao long baos and har kows! only the chee cheong fan was good, trust me. do not order the other 2 when you are there. hahaha. even though i love har kow, this was.. meh. try the bao jin tian ones, those are THE BEST.

fried seaweed pork rolls!! these were good too! ^^

we were rushing back to Tampines for our haircut hence we only had these :( its only my second time there and i def want to go back again for the prawn rolls!!

okay that's all for my updates! shall blog more when i'm free :) for now i need sleep so that my flu (hopefully) will go away.
