Okay. CNY has come and passed and in the mad rush of collecting the many ang-pows, i've neglected my blog.

Hey! It's free money (Hah! An oxymoron!) so what do you expect?

Anyway! Besides the usual visiting among the blood relations, i did something vastly different! I did some visiting with my (ex-)classmates. Okay, so maybe it wasn't that vastly different.

But! It was kinda interesting to see how the well-heeled live out their oh-so-envious lives. Backyards, swimming pools, the ability to keep otherwise and not-so-otherwise illegal pets... Jealousy aside, it was a fun-filled trip! Except for the tedious walking when we were trying to find Andy's place. His dubious claims of his house being closest to the MRT station coupled with the HIGHLY confusing and misleading bad directions which he sms-ed us kicked off this whole visiting spree to a generally sweaty start. Ok. That just applies to me.

I swear! My now ex-classmates must have been born with generally inactive sweat glands. Either that or I'm just generally a very sweaty person. I'll go with the "my now ex-classmates must have been born with generally inactive sweat glands" bit.

Just to make myself feel better. =)



Anyway! Pictures were taken. So! Here they are!


Besides celebrating the festival of ang-pows, pineapple tarts and bak-kwa, there's another celebration going on! The celebration of the VOICE!

I'm taking about American Idol! The guys generally sucked this season except for Chris Sligh. The girls however, are AMAZING! Here's Jordin Sparks!



And! Here's Lakisha! Ahh... fond memories of Mandisa are now coming back to me.....



Aren't they Amazing? Oh man. If only I had such talent! I'll be rolling in the greens, reds, blues and the never-before-seen colours of those money notes that are in the THOUSANDS!

Anyway! To those who knew me way back when, you know i love FANTASIA BARRINO. So here's her doing her thing.

Having tried the beer-battered fish fillet once at INDULGZ BISTRO, I was pulled back to the restaurant by the many other dishes that i have yet to try. (Click at the link and browse through the menu and you'll understand my craving!)

WARNING: DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IF YOU ARE FEELING HUNGRY/ FAMISHED/ OR STARVING.

You have been warned.

So. For the 2-in-one birthday celebration (How cheapskate! Haha. Kidding.) of both mel and I, I recommended INDULGZ BISTRO (Trust me. The food is much better tasting than this disgustingly garish name. Bleah.)

I had the Char-Grilled Rib Eye Steak this time. The meat was tender and soft! Delectably chewy and the SAUCE! To die for.

Seriously. It's Heaven.

Anyway! After the main meal! It was present time! I received the COMPLETE Deathnote manga series! It's in chinese. But! That won't stop me from enjoying the comic! I'll probably have to read it with a chinese dictionary next to me. So weird. I'll actually be learning chinese from a medium that was initially in Japanese, a language that has it's roots in chinese, and subsequently translated to chinese. Ooh. My head hurts.

Desert! I think desert occupied us for one entire hour. I'm not sure. Time flies when you're "indulgzing" (Sorry. Couldn't help it!) in sinful cravings. Anyway! We had chocalate fondue. I swear. The experience of eating the chocalate fondue was Sublime. For those watching mel eat that is. All i can say is that she had a gastronomical fashion disaster. And! That should be a clue as to how .... errr... "neat" she looked when she was eating the fondue.



Fondue Disaster! Anyway. The fondue came with more marshmellows (is this how you spell it?) and fruits. We were too busy thinking with our mouths to use our brain. So yeah. This picture was probably taken after we all had some pieces of fruit and marshmellows. Still looks good ya?

After that! It was off to Pitstop cafe for some boardgames fun. We took 2 hours to find that cafe. In the rain! While searching for the cafe, we came across this really cool shop called "My Bloodtype Store" or something. Cool shop. Had me thinking that it was a gift store that had gifts for specific blood types. But! Well, I was wrong. It sold health supplements. And! I chance upon this highly disturbing piece of news. Being an A+, I'll do well if i switch to a vegetarian diet and avoid meat completely.

Impossible. What is eating without meat? What is life without meat?

I'll probably die young.

Here's a picture of that piece of disturbing advice.


Trivia time! Did you know that there are three boardgames cafe at the boat quay area? Anyway! We ended up spending 3 hours at the boardgame cafe! Addictive.

Really off the beaten road huh?

*UPDATE! I forgot to mention the gang that i went out with! So! The group consisted of the devil, sailormoon, alien bunny and the mexican killer. I have strange friends.*
