blogging mode: EXTRA long

sorry i haven't been blogging for a while. no major things happening i think. er... newater plant was such a bore. how disappointing. i think it only appeals to those 6 and below. and jap and kimchi tourists who plan to steal s'pore's technology by filming the entire tour although they stress like 5 or 6 times not to do so.

oh i didn't talk about the s-cube seminar! i seriously started reflecting on NS with my dad when i got back. it's like one of those obs things where it's damn tough but the experience is so enriching and nan2 de2. really i admire guys for going for NS> no wait i admire THE FACT that guys can get through NS. i mean i'm such a nehnek. i really didn't enjoy obs cos of the absolutely gross food. and living in such conditions... i mean oCS people are already supposed to be living damn comfortably but oh gosh the smell the smell! bleah. i can't possibly take that. hmm but ok i did enjoy the trip. was really quite interesting. and did i mention they had really nice refreshments? the donuts were so yummy. oh too bad you couldn't eat them, bird! yeah well this trip sparked a lot of "so are you going to try for NS?" when i told ppl about how i looked at everything in a new light. just so you know, i'm no tough cookie! i think i'll just study thanks :)

today!: being the rootless, soulless (?) person that i am, i didn't go back to rgs. or nyps for that matter. went with my sisters to holland v for lunch. so gooooooooood! we went to this italian restaurant next to fosters. the pizzas and pastas are only $8! and they're damn good. we had seafood pasta which was so lovely. mussels! yum yum. and a cream-based bacon and mushroom pasta. also really good. and pizza! but the portions were a bit small. anyway i thought the manager/owner was really attentive and nice. but dardy said he reminded her of the landlady (roald dahl) cos she said he was damn friendly in a creepy way. right...

then moved on to dessert at the crustacean. warm chocolate cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so good!!!!!!!! really, until you eat it, you'll have no idea how good it is. the cake is like really crumbly and the inside is completely oozing with chocolate........... which is all warm and thick and tastes so damn good. before the waitress even put it down i could just smell it :) ok anyway, the restaurant's really cool. the deco i mean. it's a sea theme with plum walls and dark wood tables with white leather chairs. so posh right? and i was there in my pe t-shirt and shorts! haha. but the back of the restaurant damn stinks. oh and the toilet! hahahha. this is damn funny: having drunk lots of water at both restaurants, i really needed to go. so before you actually step into the toilet you can see the damn seats from outside. then i saw there were all these random brown patches on it and i was like: oh my gosh! who the hell shat like that all over the stupid seat? what kind of crap place expects me to use a shit-covered toilet?? (which bird will prob like) then i went in to inspect cos i really needed to pee and then i realized they were BROWN coloured seashell pictures on the seat. yikes.
