chole and batura

been having Indian food craving since last Sunday after eating the nice mutton biryani at Marine Square.

so besides eating Indian twice this week, my favorite Indian stall at the Fusionopolis foodcourt had a new lunch dish.


it's called chole and batura.

believe me when i say it tastes as good as it looks.

nevermind that it's deep-fried flour that probably gains you more calories than you can lose.

oh so sinful, but oh so nice.

Blackforest cake?

birdy's "elegant" blackforest cake.

just completed.

you can pretty much guess why it's only half a cake. there's two layers of cake required in the blackforest.

it would be impossible to finish if it was really a full one. and poor makiyo (birdy's husband) would have to be the scapegoat if that happens.

moo moo's name on it, as blackforest is supposed to be her favorite.

not sure if it's still her favorite now.

cross-section

as you can see (or rather not see), the middle part with the cherries and cream is almost squashed.

brighter and clearer photo (from meow meow)

you basically can only see the squashed cherries.

you need more work birdy.

2 tiny animals takes on the Monsterous ......

2) Moo Moo's latest craze...hahaha.. (me crazy abt their "ka po qia"- beetle car)

*so cute*


Continues with story...


then 2 animals decided to grab their dinner. Bird (me) suggested to take on the monsterous Carl's Jr at Marina Square. From Suntec, they took off their journey to Carl's Jr.

After abit of wrong turns here and there...they have finally reached Carl's Jr. Both animals stared at the sumptuous Portobello Mushroom burger and the Double bacon cheeseburger. Boosting our courage, the 2 placed their orders.

~1 Portobello Mushroom combo meal (crisscut fries, without onions and tomato) and 1 double bacon cheeseburger combo (onion rings) ~

Pop! The waitress placed 2 big cups at the counter. The large drink was really LARGE. The 2 animals takes the counter number and finds a seat at the end.

*fast forward*

The waiter served us with 2 monsterous burgers along the with the exceptionally big onion rings and crisscut fries.



Definition for Portobello Mushroom burger (by bird)
1) Big chunky slices of mushroom from the finest Portobella mushrooms sauteed in garlic and parsley. Stacked together with green crunchy leafy cabbages and a BIG slice of juicy beefy steak in the middle.



Definition for Double bacon cheeseburger (by bird)

Interested to try? (^_^)

kopitiam invasion @ taman jurong S-11

ok... so i decided to juz write a simplified report... (or moo moo might say she's the only one who's ever doing this)

date: 18 nov, friday nite
weather: drizzling slightly
attendance: birdy, rr, moo moo (meow meow studying for exams)

surprisingly, rr was the 1st one to reach the S-11 bustop at taman jurong...

when called birdy, she was walking (!!) to taman jurong... not that it's not feasible, but because as i was saying, it was drizzling!! and she was walking without an umbrella somemore...

when rr sms-ed moo moo, she was also walking from her ah ma's house... another hero without an umbrella... this one, i somewhat can understand, since she stay so near...

so anyway, both of them reached without being very wet... birdy still very adventurous... wanted to read manga on the way, walking to taman jurong... how was she gonna accomplish that when it's pitch dark, i have no idea...

spent the entire invasion chit-chatting from moo moo's auntie problem; to birdy's troublesome USA associates problem; to our fav topic, manga & anime (of course)... friday's focus was on Rave, since moo moo was passing the last book to me...

much much much better ending than Shaman King, which was a total let out... never seen such a crappy ending in my entire manga-reading life... and i've read enough crappy endings before... like GSD... only that's not read but watched...

after S-11, we walked to the new multi-storey hawker so that moo moo can get some light food for her ah ma... not much shops still opened at 11pm, and she ended up getting satay (did u or ah ma ate that in the end?)

still drizzling lightly when we finally left the place... rr only one to be prepared with umbrella, although technically, she borrowed it from sis who always have it with her...

end of invasion...


The Aftermath
Posted by Moo Moo

Ermm.. After RR got into her 240, I walked Birdy home. Ok lahh not the full distance. She initially wanted me to go home and she 弱女子 wanna brave the dark streets and STILL SAY ME EASIER TARGET FOR AH NEH LOR!!

Anyway i distracted her and chatted all the way, mostly on MS lahh. Ahahha, and b4 she realised it, we've reached lakeside mrt. I din wanna cross the overhead bridge so.. we parted there lor.

I think RR and Meow Meow will scream at Birdy for wanted to walk the dark alleys home. 我是无辜的!! *feigns innocent*

*Passing the mic back to RR*

^_^.``

OH!!!

found new Palm PDA that is affordable! Palm Z22, priced at $228 seen in the Palm SG website... it's the all basic PDA with no added features...

well, not that i'll ever need them... mp3? i haf my creative Muvo2... camera and video function? my VS2 has that too... bluetooth?? erm, do i even know people who use that often??

the only thing that i might think is a minus point is there's no expansion slot... but other than that, it's a great bargain... *rubs hands* i can't wait to buy it after my yr-end bonus...

KopiTiam Report JW Blk 959

Ahh.. I'm trying to recall as much as possible k. Its like 10 days ago thing. Hmmmmmm..................

The 2nd KopiTiam Invasion in the same week, this time for convenience of Meow Meow & Birdy (who din make it), it was across my blk. Me, who was on leave, nuahed the entire day b4 walking down to find them + buying a big bag of potato chips which I have yet to start eating. Meow Meow came looking like a zombie after her studying in NTU.

......................

......................

*thinking*

*wasting blog space*

*thinking*

Ah.. This was the day Birdy started her marathon camping in office. Where got ppl work 100+ hrs <- abt 5 days from friday till wed i think, OVERNITES IN OFFICE!! Might as well go to work at night rite.

Faster go look for other jobs leh.. U need time to send resumes, time for the prospective companies to review the resumes, time for interviews, time for them to confirm, time for u do quit and do handovers. Totals up to more than 1 mth, 2 maybe. By the time u settle ur server problem, u shld be ready for ur next job already mahh.. the shorter u stay at the present company the better lehh.. who noes when the server will buang again..

To Birdy: Quick start applying!!~

Last Min Kopitiam Invasion & An Animated Bird

Hehh.. RR i saw ur draft. I was wondering y 2 person can blog n no one toks abt the kopitiam invasion. Nvm I shall do it.

Look at the time. I woke up at 7.30 not knowing wat to do. What the F i wake up so early for when i slept at 2+++ the night before. Couldnt get back to sleep after dat so.. MS!!~~~

Ended work SUPER late yesterday due to a stupid SAP server lag. Of all days lag at MONTH END! [>.<]q The lag started at 4++ when I was 3 pages into my 7 pages/100++ permits list. Still tolerable, abt 30 sec wait per function pressed. Chatted with Meow Meow and Birdy on MSN, where 3/4 of the time, Birdy is MS-ing. Imagine! MS-ING DURING OFFICE HRS IN OFFICE LOR.. kaoz. The 30 sec became 1 min. Then it became so bad that I had to stare [@.@] at the screen for 2 min for one transaction, 3 min to save it, and bo bah geh will be saved (In this case, repeat from step 1, wait 2 min, then 3 min, until confirmed saved).

Slowly, the office emptied out. One-by-one, they left, not without throwing a line at me.
"Wah still dun wanna go back arh?"
"Wah so hardworking arh?"
"Go back go back!~ Boss not in~"
"Not going back?"
etc, etc, etc.

My answer would be... "CANNOT GO BACK ARHH!!~~~ [T.T]"

At 6.45, I'm the only one left in office, facing a lights-out engineering dept. Dun dare to go toilet bcos.. SCARY LAHHH!!!~~ By dat time the system is recovering but still, I'm only on my 4th page. Chiong thru all the permits till 7++, opened up my excel file to update the new permits. A lot of alterations as we have 3 new product codes <- which made me super irritated bcos 3 new products, I have to create 10+++ additional licenses.

All tis while, the small boy (he's older than me by one mth lah) in the terminal was waiting for his price (not by me, another dept). So I complained to him lahh, wat stupid system lah, wat stupid dept doing the pricing lah, wat stupid fishtank on his desk lah. Blah blah blah. We sitting on the same boat.. Ahhahaa.. After everything, he offered me a cab ride out. Claimable anyway since he doing OT.

Anyway, I met up with Birdy at JP. She looks super tired when she reached so I asked her y so sianz lah, since she was MS-ing in office!! Then she started her super animated story. From 1st floor to the food court at 3rd floor. The version dat Meow Meow and RR saw later is already quite toned down liao. Her facial expression really made me laff like mad. (How come she angry then still so funny one I oso dun understand..)

Well, advice to Birdy: Adults ARE UNREASONABLE at times (My aunt has it more than others, urs small case..), we'll grow up to be like dat in time to come. So... WE MUST LEARN NOT TO BE LIKE DAT!!~~

We had a super long dinner, trading unreasonable stories, then topic switched to MS. Ahahhahha.. We left JP at 9.50pm.

Met up again at 11pm (We really cannot get enuff of each other.. I dunno y.. I'm meeting her later again somemore..). Kopitiam at Jurong West Ave 1 Blk 502. There we met up with a sore throat, bug-plagued, pale looking Meow Meow and a super heng RR.

RR!! I jus remembered.. U din pass me ur FTT book!!!

Back to the story, Birdy and me were pushed to order (as usual, those bullies.. kekekke). We, as usual, dunno wat to buy, keep walking back to the seats to ask them. Food arrived, one tissue prata, one cage of haa gao, one plate of fried dumpling, 2 teh bings, 1 kopi + a big bottle of Birdy's mum's brand herbal tea.

Speaking of the herbal tea. Meow Meow, she told me she wanted to bring to u while we were MSNing. She wans me to shhh somemore.. ahhahaha.. Budden.. AUNTY ARHH~~~ I NO NEED!!~~ ehhehehhe.. My mum always brew these herbal tea stuff whenever one of us is down with sore throat or wat (most commonly my bro), and the rest of us oso have to drink. So no need no need... hehhehhehehhe...

Birdy, Meow Meow dedicated this post to u.. Meowww~~~

Ok lah.. enuff of blogging, my stomach a bit pain pain, I go 蹲 toilet liao..

thanks birdy for your herbal tea

meow.... i'm finally blogging again...



i wanna thank birdy for brewing herbal tea for me today after i told her i got a bad sore throat. i am so touched.... after not being able to talk properly so many days, finally got a kind soul make herbal tea for me...



and wat did i do to get this silly sore throat a few days before exams? hmmm... i stayed over in school for two nites to complete my web tech project... quite a stressful two nites indeed... so stress to the extend that i lack of sleep and got eye infection....



had to ask my fren to drive me home 3am in the morning to get my glasses so that i can continue to work on the project...and the very next day after the project due, i cannot talk liao....



seriously, life of a student is not easy... for example, the web tech project, not only had to make the technical stuff work, still muz handle the human part(i am talking abt group members)... sigh so much problem... very tiring... then after project, muz act like nothing happen like dat.... very fake.... muz wear mask everyday...



anyway the project finish liao, no point talking abt it... muz concentrate on exams.... got a paper on wednesday.. too little time to study, but trying to do my best... =( stress stress stress

of more Sayo, KTV and kopitiam invasion...

more on Sayo

as mentioned, met up with Sayo for our last meal together at chinatown... i always want to bring her out for more hawker food since i feel that her boyfriend dun do that as much... and who knows when she'll have the chance to ever savour our local delights again for a long time...

after that, we went walking for a while along chinatown, as i waited for lydia to come from work, reminiscing about days back in launie when we would do the same things... i forgot to mention us watching movies in the last entry... think we probably watched 4-5 movies with another sg classmate Jan, usually during our long breaks on tuesdays or after class on friday...

we eventually parted at chinatown mrt, and i passed the going-away present i got for her... i wished i had more time to shop, but it was so last minute... sayo, i really hope u like the hair clip... we must keep in touch kk...
give me another 2yrs to save up after my taiwan trip, and i'll be off to japan to see u... *grins* in the meantime, work hard in ur job when u start next april kk...

KTV @ K-ster, Lucky Chinatown

"u know u've been singing way too much when the staff recognize u..."
that's lydia by the way... apparently, one of the staff, whom she claims looks abit like 吴克群, recognized her when he passed us along the corridor...

from 3.45-7.20pm, we managed to
1) sing at least 50 songs and not lose our vocal chords...
2) tried to imitate very low male voices with little success...
3) made lydia spill milo on herself...
4) broaden my limited chinese songs directory to more recent songs...
5) sang songs from Grasshoppers and the classic Aaron Kwok 对你爱不完, along with the hand actions...

when we couldn't reach the super low notes for the male singers' songs, we ended up singing the super high pitch version... which really sounds funny cos we would sometimes go out of tune... den down to normal pitch for the chorus, and up to the high pitch again for the 2nd stanza...

all in all, the only song we could sing of guys that din require us to do the up and down pitch was Lee Hom's Forever Love... ahahaha... something that kenny couldn't reach before...

which reminds me... Kenny... i'm so sorry we PS-ed u for ktv... (PS = short form for pang seh) it was my idea really, even though i was the one that asked u in the 1st place... i'm so so sorry... no valid reason to give u also... heard from my sis u were bored in the afternoon... felt guilty immediately...

next time kk... we go ktv i promise we call u to see if u free or not... good thing is, we got k-ster coupons at the macdonald's at lucky chinatown... they were juz sitting there on the counter waiting to be taken by us... 3 "free 5hrs ktv room" coupons per piece of paper... valid til 15 nov... got chance got chance...

friday kopitiam

as if it was retribution for PS-ing kenny during ktv, ended up, only moo moo and me were met up in time for kopitiam invasion at 10pm... birdy had family gathering... we couldn't get meow meow when we called her hp., neither was there anyone picking up the phone at home... which was weird since she said she was coming...

in the end, only after we're about to go home, as we stood in front of her block, trying to decipher which was her window, did we managed to get her... turns out, our poor meow meow was back in NTU trying to finish her projects...

and she was also having a slight flu... must be all the bugs u were trying to code... instead of killing them, u ended up catching them... hope u're almost done with all ur projects now... aren't u starting exams in a few days??

we went to the jurong west kopitiam cos birdy and meow meow lives close by... in the end, moo moo and me were the ones who went... hmm...

Extended Kopitiam Invasion (At Unexpected Hrs)

Yeah Yeah Yeah.. So Moo Moo and Birdy went pak-tohing and pang-seh-ded Meow Meow and RR, and since Meow Meow is busy with projects/exams, RR is left alone.

All nighter ktv is damn stressful on the stamina. I've gotta admit I'm old. Physically. I think i already BTH-ing at 2am liao and our list is like practically always full 30 songs. From SHE->FIR->Mayday->Shin->Nan Quan MaMa->Jay->Yanzi->Penny-> blah blah blah... Luckily there's no one after our slot so we sang from 10.30->1(supposedly slot ending time)->4!! All at the price of 21.90++++

Remember the grill urself restaurant Birdy keeps raving abt? I finally went there to put myself on the grill.


Eating my Comrades


Smile~


Yummy!~

We also discovered some unique salad and decided to try it.

border="0" alt="" />
Step 1: Pay for the salad


Step 2: Shake like Zoe Tay


Step 3: Enjoy!~

N dun say we nvr work ok. We extended the scope of Kopitiam Invasion globally aka Geylang.


Geylang Lor 15 Nice Dim Sum..
(Chee Chong Fun is nice but the xiao long bao not fantastic)


But Expensive & Serves Drinks in TUBS!

Since we're at Geylang, where the place nvr sleeps (of cos lah.. do dat kinda thing sleep wat..), we walked down a few lorongs to Lorong 9 for..


Dao Huey King!


Big Bowl of Dao Huey with Peanuts

Although it was drizzling by this time, we walked without cover (bcos Birdy's 1.99 umbrella which jus came back from the typhoon couldnt make it), from Lorong 9 all the way to Lorong 44 <-End of Geylang. Initially, we wanted to look for more food, but the sky is breaking soon and we're tired/exhausted/with wet shoes, we decided to get a cab.

Cabs exist in abundance in Geylang, probably is to fetch the husbands back to their wives' bedside b4 the wife wakes. We the 2 kiam pa animals thot that since we're gonna get a cab, since we're walking all the way, since a lot of things, we decided to take no cabs other than Mercs cab.

And so we walked, squinting our eyes thru the drizzling setting for any extremely bright neon taxi signs and white car body. We missed 2 as the uncle din see us waving on the other side of the road. 1 couldnt take us as he has a booking in Orchard later. 1 was bcos we werent looking for a cab at that time.

We finally got into a Merc cab at 6.30-40 like dat. Ahh.. The satisfaction of comfort after a long wait. Uncle was nice and distributed Today newspaper to us. Birdy was already sleeping when the cab was nearing Jurong.


Evidence of a Mercs Cab

I bathed and plonked into bed at 7, sleeping till 11.45. Had wanted to wake up at 12.30 but couldnt sleep after waking. I'm feeling drowsy as I type. Mus be the overnight + the pint of Heineken I had jus now.

Btw, Sunshine plaza got one dim sum store bueh pai. Its near Anime House dat side, the prawn dumpling is nice when hot. Try the milky custard bao if u all have loads of empty space in ur stomach.

And.. my Strike Freedom and Destiny NOT confirm got. GRR.. Thou my fren says he'll call me if it arrives and they have extra. Only 2 sets of Strike Freedoms confirmed. So sad..

And.. OH YA.. Petit Studio 2 restocked at Latendo. I saw it on display.

p.s. Can Birdy give us an update on her hair trip??

Direction Idiots..

Maybe we shldnt be criticising too much on birdy's direction sense..



She IS CORRECT lor...

of prata cravings, directions and camp...

we finally managed to satisfy moo moo's craving for roti prata on our last kopitiam invasion... juz a small shop below those 2-storey buildings near my old home at jurong east, it was packed full of people even at 10pm... can see people really like the pratas there... the teh bing is also not bad... at least better than the one in boon lay market...

meow meow came late since she was attending a seminar in town... i thought there was only that one kopitiam opposite jurong primary school... turns out there was another one and she went to that instead... so she called birdy to ask for directions...

bad move... birdy giving out directions?? worse thing, moo moo tagged along with her to find meow meow... and moo moo is even worse... not that she doesn't know where she is, just that she's not all that fantastic on directing people... (Moo Moo: Not my fault!!!! Birdy passed the hp to me!! & Birdy was the one who say opposite JURONG PRI!)

at least all 3 of them managed to come back safely... granted, they left me all alone in the kopitiam... lucky kenny happened to be there (he went there for supper after choir), and he kept me company for a while...

i've been asked by liwen laoshi and uncle seb to be the chairperson for the youth camp this year... though well assured by them, and auntie sharon, that it'll be a relatively easy job this time round, i'm still apprehensive about it... lots of worries in my head... plus, i have to find my own committee members instead of the usual where they have already been selected...

but, this year would be entirely different as the main theme of the camp is focused on the tabernacle... yes, as in the tabernacle from the Old Testament... using real building materials, we're gonna build it from scratch, together with the robe for the chief priest...

it'll be an experience not to be missed... who knows when will there be another time when we would have the chance to do this...

KON PLUSHIE!!

i got my kon... i got my KON!!! *jumps up and down wildly*

was so so ecstatic when i saw, not juz one, but TWO of them in the display cupboard... yes, the display cupboard... where they should be out of people's reach, so that when real buyers (like me) go buy them, they wouldn't be particular about it being a display piece... i'm so proud of it... look how big it is... compared to meow meow's ichigo, this is twice as large... mwahaha... i know, i'm bad... making fun of ichigo... meow meow said she's tempted to buy, but if she did, kon will be bigger than ichigo...

how do you expect me to get the smaller version after seeing this huggable one... *grins*

other than that... today is friday... so AU (minus birdy) went to invad another kopitiam... will hand it over to moo moo to check which street this one is on... the teh bing was ok, though meow meow commented that the auntie put alot of milk into it... not too sweet, but i haf a sweet tooth... so my "juz nice" might be "too sweet" for others...

moo moo was very late cos she went to see sammi cheng at lido, orchard... *growls* and i juz found out tt meow meow has a boyfriend for the past 5 or so months... *sighs* why do i always seems to be the last one to find out about such things... makes me feel abit stupid and blur... but meow meow also not the type to publicize about it... so can't really blame her...

moo moo, when you start going out with someone, please tell me in advance kk... so i dun say the wrong things at the wrong time... break-up must also say... all the more must tell me... that one confirm canot say wrong things...

Friday KopiTiam Report

Reported by Moo Moo in midst of being a worm feasting on veggies

And so, we went back to the "Pickpocket Place" aka JW St 63, firstly to look for the famed duck noodles(Not open again); secondly for the bird (special guest) to try the "superb" chicken wing(i dun really like); thirdly to catch the pickpocket(0_0).


Superb Chicken Wings??

This moo moo, with Naruto, her Muvo, her hp, her keys, decided to walk to the place from JW St 91. Thinking dat she'd brought everything, she happily stepped outta door at 9.50pm, and started her journey. Along the way, she returned rr's msg, and dropped the phone while trying to put it back inside the pouch with Naruto occupying most part of her hoof. She xim-tiahingly picked up all the pieces and fixes them back along the journey.

Walk walk walk, she saw 179 coming. Ohh! Meow Meow and Birdy had arrived. Walks faster. Another traffic light and she'll reach the destination, she saw another 179 on the other side of the road. Aiya shld've taken the bus. Then she realised. SHE DIN BRING HER WALLET OUT!!!! She remembered everything else BUT HER WALLET!! duhh..

Ok back to the report. I, being sick of chicken wings, went looking for other food while the 3 other animals feasted. Prata? No more prata. Satay? Not open. WAHHHH. Anyway, fastforward. Jus as we're leaving, we saw Junming. <- Dao gia. Haha.

Then we went to kopitiam no. 2 for the night. JW St 91 Blk (I'll go n check it out.) Response there, DRINKS DAMN EX!! But rojak quite good. And so we the 4 tai tais in the making rehearsed wat we'll be doing in 20 yrs time. Lim kopi tok kok. kakkakkakkaa..

Another kopitiam conquerred~

of musical, sparklers and more teh bing

Anime News: One Piece 245 is out (chinese subbed).

of Snow.Wolf.Lake...
it was GREAT!! i mean, dun compare it to broadway musicals like Phantom or Miss Saigon of course... considering it was an asian production, i think it was very successful... the music was good, the dancing was good, the leads were good... thankfully, i managed to watch this time round, cos apparently, this is jacky cheung's last performace for the musical... which makes sense also lah... he's not young anymore, any more vigorous dancing and i'm afraid his bones might break... and chen songling has such a beautiful voice! oh my gosh!! it's so much better than xu hui xing whose voice was more soprano and airy. the only bad thing was that though we were sitting in the $148 seats, we still couldn't see their faces... sighs... should haf listened to my mom and brought the binoculars...

before the musical started, we (joreen, me and junli) was trying to find shannie amongst the audience... after calling her, we finally found directly opposite us... i think the 3 of us were on drugs; or the food that we ate at crystal jade la mien had too much msg or something... we keep laughing over the slightest things, making silly comments, or (our fav) make fun of shannie cos she wasn't with us... haha... that'll make her wary of having the 3 of us on our own without her... heehee...

of sparklers and more teh bing...
sunday was the 15th (chinese calendar)... i.e. mooncake day... after a tiring day of ktv, curry chicken and mahjong, moo moo called again to go out... this time, to play sparklers... i swear, no matter how much we use, the sparklers never seem to run out... it's like a neverending supply... at that time, i was still playing mahjong at jiahui's house, so that was cancelled due of lack of people... 30min later, it was a call to supper, but at the new taman jurong hawker centre... though i initially said no since it was so far away, in order to make me go, they went by my wishes and changed it to boon lay... =p

so instead of making noise at taman jurong, we were making noise in boon lay (right behind where my mom works too)... cos they bought those sparklers that makes loud piercing noises when they are lit up... i think the people there hates us... 4 girls making so much noise below their block... *sweatdrops*

we adjourned for drinks at the hawker centre where we drank not very nice teh bing... the color wasn't right, there wasn't enough milk, it wasn't even sweet enough... next time, we are definitely not buying from that stall anymore... at least, not teh bing anymore...
subject of the session: cockroaches aka 小强's... there was one running beside our table in the circle where some plants were... we started trading horror stories of not juz 小强, but also lizards...
conclusion: except for meow meow, all of us are terrified of 小强... though at desperate times, we would still kill it if we have to... as for lizards, that's a definite no-no for me, and probably meow meow too...

sober news: my ah ma's admitted into the hospital again... 2nd time in 2 weeks... she was shivering and trembling very badly on sunday nite at around 1pm... before that, she already had on-off fever for the past couple of days... it scared us so much we immediately called the doctor... turns out it's a urinary tract infection... she's very weak and also dehydrated cos she keeps talking deliriously without stopping and drinks little water thruout the day... juz today, she had a blood transfusion, probably due to a low Hb, and she was also having fever and trembling again...

now, all we can do is pray for how God wants to deal with her... all of us are actually prepared for the worst, but we also want her to be well again... but if she's gonna suffer so much, i rather He just takes her away from this pain... cos it hurts to see her like this too...

lim kopi

it started out as a once in a while thing, but slowly, i think it's gonna start being some friday tradition for the animals-united; minus the bird on numerous occasions... today, of course as usual, she's busy with work again and had to stay back in the office. *sighs*
well, today it wasn't at JP where we normally hang out, but really at a kopitiam, kopitiam... according to moo moo and meow meow, there's supposed to be good duck noodles there, though none of us ate that... was tempted by the chicken wings roasting right where i can see them, so "persuaded" the both of them to buy and eat them too... mwahahaha...

so, amidst chicken wings and our ice milk tea (ice lemon tea for meow meow), we had our usual chit-chat and talk rubbish session... den the event of the night happened... moo moo and i were sitting on the same side, with meow meow on the other side... my bag was sitting right between me and her, and she felt that it was like starting to fall out of the bench, so she grabbed onto the handles to try to steady it... turns out, it wasn't falling out of the chair, but was slowly being pulled out by this indian uncle who was behind us...!! the nerve of the guy!! and to think that he dared to do it with so many people around... after that, i kept my bag firmly on my lap... and this most likely wasn't his 1st attempt too, bcos awhile later, this uncle, whom i assume work at the kopitiam, was passing by our table and he told us he saw what the indian uncle was trying to do... wah lau...!! desperate people are out there man...

anyway, so much for the eventful thing of the night... while chatting with the 2 of them, we found out another weirdness of mine, but one that i share with meow meow...
we prefer to stay in places where there is optimum temperature, not too cold, but not too hot either... i can't stand being hot, but throw me into an air-con room for too long, i'll complain also... and i don't like to sleep in air-con rooms too... partially bcos of my rhinitis, everytime i wake up after sleeping in an air-con room, i just have the worst running nose... den another part is bcos, i juz prefer to have a normal fan running, where there's always a continous flow of air circulating in the room... throw me in a room with no circulating air, or if i ever get stuck in an elevator with the fan off, i'll start hearing ringing/buzzing noise... loudly, even if nobody else can hear it... very bad, very very bad...

anyway, we've decided that we'll go try out all the neighbouring kopitiams in our area, which stretches only from moo moo's house to the furthest we will go, jurong east... think we're all lazy people, at least meow meow and me are... moo moo wants to go geylang, which we said she can go herself... heehee... so, i wonder where we might be going next week... we should go eat supper at boon lay next week...

ps. Snow.Wolf.Lake later at 8pm... YEAH!!! after months of waiting, it's finally here... ^_^.`` 我和你 永不分离 千千万万世纪 无边无际 爱是永恒 因为爱是你...
