Like a river flows slowly to the sea.Today: Friday (30 May)FINALLY FRIDAY!I've been waiting & counting down for this day of the week since the very boring Term 2 started on Monday.
*screams*My break meal tasted somehow like it's cooked for a patient. Well, that explains the price. Value for money.
This dish only cost me SGD2.50, how cheap!
Oh, saw Kenneth on the LRT way to school & thn Tofu on the bus way home. Singapore is indeed very small!
School, BPP, pasar malam w Sarene & thn homed. Bought MOS Iced milk tea & Ramly beef burger! Greatness.

Yesterday: Thursday (29 May)
Billy Bombers for lunch & Azabu Sabo for desserts @Centralw Christine & Renew(HAHA)
Billy Bombers wasn't woah-ing. Hip Diner USA is much nicer! I'm craving for their Mango Tango now!
This is the i-forgot-what-platter, not-very-nice shrimp fritters & nachos.
Trust me, i'm very skilled in bisecting chicken wings with fork & knife after all that experience.

Azabu Sabo's desserts are delicious! Especially their Hokkaido hotballs. I think i can have it for my breakfast, teabreak, lunch, teabreak, dinner, supper everyday! Okay, that's kinda exaggerating. I was just trying to express how nice it is.
A place to go for desserts!
Siew, this is the old style Iced Lemon Tea you love & i hate. Lol, reminds me of you!
The strong wasabi-filled sauce is very disappointing.
Hokkaido hotballs is
LOVE! (w Mango ice-cream)
The super duper chewy mochi... Your hands & mouth will be numb after eating this. The Q-ness is amazing!
I love Hokkaido hotballs! (w Chocolate ice-cream)
This hot cuppa tea is nice :D

School, PBM I lecs.
Another new module(PBM I - Principles of Business Mgmt I), lecturer - Ms. Tricia Ang. This is so much better thn yesterday's. Ms. Tricia is funny & most importantly, she's not monotonous!
"You don't have to ask for permission to leave the lecture to go to the washroom. The bottomline is to pass!"
123 to town w Xueli & Junru. Xue & i dropped off at Tangs. We went to Shaw House, Tangs Market, Tangs then she left for work while i went to meet Sarene at Paragon for lunch at Ding Tai Fung. Xiao long baos, love love love!
Then we went shopping! Tangs, Takashimaya, Wisma. I bought a couple of presents & nothing for myself. I'm gonna get Mommy out for a shopping spree soon. It's GSS, sales is everywhere, so do the crowds. Hate crowds, squeezing, ugly Singaporeans.
&For the first time in my life, i took MRT home from town. Okay, maybe not the first time but yeah cos it was raining!
Dead beat! :(
Yesterday: Monday (26 May)
School, FMT lecs.
New module(FMT - Fundamentals of Marketing), new lecturer - Mr. John Koh. I was bored to tears! I guess everybody else in my class was feeling ultra bored & sleepy too. He's not bad but speaks in a very monotonous manner. We were merely counting down to our break & the end of it!
Fatigue, home to take a nap.

I declare the end of my week break.School reopens tmr, dreadfullllll!
I have to start sleeping early again.
I have to start waking up early in the morning again.
I have to squeeze with the morning crowds again.
I have to try to enjoy the cafeteria food again.
I have to face the sunny sun again.
I have to brave the cold during lectures again.
Every single shit all over again!Now that my JC peeps have finally started their holiday, mine just ended. Is this a way to draw a line between the smart & un-smart? VERY WELL.
A perfect song for this worst-case-scenario:
Colbie Caillat - Realize
[Verse 1:]
Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.
[Verse 2:]
Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
Didn't I tell you
[Refrain:]
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realized what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
Then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other but.
[Verse 3:]
It's not all the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other
Just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
OoOoOOo
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Realize, realize
Realize, realize
