No More Garlic Bread. . .

I was hungry...

I toasted one side of the bread in my microwave oven...

Then I spread the other side with some home-made garlic-spread...

I put it back into the microwave oven to grill for another 2 mins...

And this was what happened...

我以后不敢了！ (-_-")

Suppering with 老朋友！欢啊！

It's getting late... but the night was still young...

Received a msg from Kel... "Supper! Any Takers?"

Qing & I were picked up @ard 9:30PM...

Headed EC Hawker for suppering...

Kel tooked Wantan Noodle & treated us Chicken+Mutton Satay...

In returns, Qing & I treated him the Sugar Cane Juice...

Hmmz... I must conclude that I do prefer Mutton to Chicken... HoHohO~*

After I tabao-ed some pratas for my Bro & Daddy... We went for a spin...

Saw a very budget & old hotel (Cameron Hotel, since 1956... OMG*) ...

Saw a very huge & spectacular bangalow... very roman- style!

久久一次，十分痛快！ (^^)v

Had been seeking high & low for these cutie presents...

A hike @MacRitchie Reservoir

Had gone for trekking trip yesterday morning @MacRitchie Reservoir. . .

It was drizzling for the entire afternoon... However, the trip was not much affected since the canopy layer had shed us from the rain... We conitnued our journey with tons of excitement.

Visited the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (MacRitchie) HSBC TreeTop Walk and the Jelutong Tower. . . wonderful sight seeing areas!

Unfortunately, there was a landslide at Sime Track and thus, that trial was closed until further notice... that led us to took up the alterntaive route... a much much longer one... :(

There wasn't any sign boards indicating on the direction when we tried to continue our journey from the Jelutong Tower... Hence, we followed the "Right-Always" rule and walked and walked...

It was a quiet path... lotsa spider web... after a very long walk, we finally saw a decent track... So well laid and maintained.... "Phew!" we felt so relieved... Neat grass carpetted the entire field... "Oh well, this must be the legendery Golf Trial" we assumed.

And what welcomed us next truly traumatized us... Can you imagine yaself walking into a carpark when you were supposed to be hiking in some trials... Errmmmzz... Precisely! We had made the wrong turn way before... and somehow ended up @Singapore Island Country Club... Ah DOiz~*

Anyway... guess it's luckier to end up in a country club than to be stuck in the 'wulu forest'... It was indeed a happening trekking trip for us... KekekekE~*

Went MS for dinner @Changing Appettite (CA)... All cheesecakes on half price on every Tuesday... Had Black Pepper Chicken Pasta for main dish and 2 sinful chocolaty cheesecakes as desserts... :p

BYe bYe PRDS :)

Friday was the last day of attachment...

I was both excited and sad...

Excited that I could finally take a break after 110 days of hard work...

Sad that I had to leave this really wonderful working environment...

--- Getting Token of Appreciation ---

Went scouting for potential token of appreciation for the department with my fellow IA kakiz~* on Thursday... Headed to PS after work... Kept popping into boutiques instead... Saw much nice stuff... Special Thanks to Kriz & Van for recommending PS to us... We got what we wanted from one of the stores - A wooden sculpture of wordings featuring "TEAMWORK - working together means winning together" YeaH~* I knew that's the ONE the moment it caught my sight... HOHOho~*

Took our dinner @Ajisen Ramen… I had Black Pepper Ramen… Darn nice! WuhOO~*

Bought a box of MERCI chocolates from Carrefour @PS… 8 assorted flavors… Not sure if they were enough for 9 heads… Hopefully, we prayed…

Went ard many shops to get ideas for a THANK YOU card… Went Cactus’s hse to bake a card… Been so long since I last touched crafts… Had a great time making this card… Our effects & sincerity… Hmmz…

--- Farewell Party @PRDS ---

It was 5P.M… All the other 18 IA students gathered @Training room… It looked just like our first day reporting to work… but the feelings everyone went through were quite different this time round…

Department Dinner @Tung Lok

This is the 22nd week of the 22-week industrial attachment programme. It was about time to bid farewell to the company where I was attached to… the department which I was assigned to… and the fellow colleagues whom I had been working with… for the past 21 weeks.

To certain extent, I must admit that I couldn’t bear to part them…Nevertheless; every beginning has its end… I was glad that I had bagged away with me tons of wonderful experiences after those 21 weeks… Well, I guess the morning assembly, tea-&-lunch-breaks and dismissal alarms that go off every now and then, shall continue to ‘haunt’ me for quite a while though…

This evening, together with another 2 fellow IA frenz (Cactus Feng & Takoyaki), I attended the long-awaited department dinner… (on the boss… of coz! Arigadok*) Supervisor drove us to Tung Lok @Shenton House… Took a lift to the 6th floor… Shook our bums into the restaurant and comfortably fit ourselves onto their comfy chairs… Our tough night began from here…

We scanned through their tiny menu with many-many dishes… “We want this… this… this… this…………” … (after many this(es)…) … “… and that! Thanks ar!” and waited patiently for our orders to be served…

Pictures of all that I had eaten this evening were not taken… I didn’t wish to scare myself or anyone of ya here… However, I could briefly recall what I had swallowed down my throat this evening…

- Buddha jumpping over the wall (with abalone, shark-fin, sea-cucumber… blah blah)
- Oat Prawns
- Chinese Herb Prawns
- Sweet Chilli Crab
- Steam Egg Crab
- Scallop fried dunoe-wat veg
- Bejing Roasted Duck
- Brewed Pork-Rib
- Plenty of Veg…
- Some desserts as shown below…
- And… and… Omg~*… I couldn’t recall all of them though… :(

Drunken Sotong Ball~* --> Takoyaki

My fellow IA Project partner (the infamous Cactus Feng*) and I :>

All of us... the 6 who attended the dinner...

3 of us... the main casts of the evening :p

Looking forward to Friday’s farewell party~* (T_T”)

World Cup Wind...

Went for CURL's Presession 2... Had a super fun day!

My group's strength shrinked from 17 to 12... 5 vol & 1 Bene didn't turn up... some were on M.C.... some... I weren't sure.

Small group = easy management
I could 'count strength' at a single glance... LOL~* (^^)v
But our Cheer* quite Chui-ed~*... LOL~*

My GL is very Zai*... He taught me some new Kayaking skills... Quite interesting... HAa! Kayaked for ard a quarter of the actual event's journey during this presession... My arms were not quite normal now... SobSob~* :'(

Sis dragged me to Bedok 24Hrs Kopitiam to watch England VS Paraguay... All tables were occupied... we stood on the grass patch outside the kopitiam to join the Fifa Fever... Bro, his fren, my sis & I stood rooted to the ground for the entire 1st half... Bro & fren bought some drinks from the stall and we decided that we should grab some spare chairs and get seated outside... Bums found homes... Happy, we continued to watch 2nd hlaf...

The good thing abt watching WC @kopitiam = the crowd... like everyone is watching it together, quite fun.

The irritating part = the smoking asses... the beer girl... and some irritating pple who talked more than they watch... These were some of the distracting elements I encountered yesterday... I believed I had taken in the most amount of second hand smoke in my entire life... SobSob~*

When it was about to goal... some heads just blocked ya view... "Uncle, you want more beer? Haa... Why you keep looking at me just now?"... OMG*

When Owen was changed over during 2nd half... A lady who couldn't shut herself up... "Huh? Why? Wah lau, no Owen I dowan to watch lah... I go back liaoz lah...." Then she continued to sit there and talk & talk & talk...

Wondering if I should watch tonight's Serbia and Montenegro Vs Netherlands... and where can I watch... Hmmz... (=_=")
