Heritage Outing

Brought one of the exchange student in my class around some places in Singapore before he leaves on Monday.

So we brought him to Maxwell food centre and ordered a wide variety of food to share. Famous porridge, fried fritters, fried kuay tiao, ngoh hiang, soya bean, tang yuan, zhu zha tang, etc.

Went to a temple nearby for a visit, quite a majestic temple and it was an eye opener.

Walked around and found how chestnut look like before it was prepared for the frying process. Not too sure if you guys know wad chestnut im talking about but its those tt is stir fried by street vendors and smells very nice while its being fried. You have to break the shell before you can eat. its actually at the left side of the photo. Not too sure if u guys know but i think its called gao lak or sth in dialect.




Close up!


Went to BrewWerkz for beer after which. Don't really like beer so didnt really enjoyed. We played zhong ji mi ma. My poor Korean fren had to drink tobasco-with-water mixture since he cant drink. hahaha. In e end, we all had a fair share of the tobasco-with water mixture. Taste horrible. Yucks.

Next, headed to Little India for eyebrow treading cos my korean fren didnt know how is it like. My Korean fren did face threading as well. A new experience for him i think and heard from him the face threading was pretty painful as compared to the eyebrow treading. So the three of us went for it while e other 2 were busy talking photos of us while treading. lol

Went Mustafa to shop. My fren got himself cologne from Clinique and I've got myself CK Electric at a competitive price. Great! I'm pleased with the shopping. =)




Ended the whole outing with dinner at Apollo. Dinner was alright but it was very small in portion and took quite a while before food was served. Meanwhile there was a freeflow of crackers while waiting. Lol.

My Korean fren passed each of us a gift and he got me a keychain from Korea. A simple keychain but I thought its meaningful. Nice of him.


Reversible---signing off @ hope you have enjoyed yourself and take care my friend!

Post Exam Entry

Alright, yesterday marked the end of my exams for the first semester. After 3 weeks of long preparation and an intensive 3 consecutive days exam timetable with yesterday ending with 2 papers, I can only say I'm mentally exhausted. The effect still lingers today. I have a lot of thoughts over the 3 intensive weeks but I just couldn't pen them down over here. Probably I don't want to be reminded of the whole stressful period again.

Anyway, was out with my classmates for dinner at bedok then chatted with one of them in the car till like 2.30am? Woke up early today to clean up the house. Can't stand my house, its so messy and dirty. Now that I have the time, time to work something out.

Reversible---signing off @ uni life is really exhaustive.
