going for Food Hotel Asia was a totally great experience. a total eye-opener. it just makes me feel so excited about what I want to do in the F&B industry. Jdee got complimentary tickets for us! we rushed there after school on friday. we ended school at about 150 and got there at 220. imagine to have SIX halls of Expo to walk through in 1 and a half hours.. scarey! yes. this is the entire expo to walk through. gosh. anyway, we got to see ALOT of food and try alot of very very good food. we sampled stuff like freshly baked danish pastry, chocolate melts, gelato/icecream and alot of random food. stuff there was very very nice! there were traders and suppliers from all over the whole. Italy, Greece, USA, Australia, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and many more. and definitely including Singapore we got to see commercial machinery,hotel stuff and whatnots. we also got to see the displays of the culinary challenge. I liked this tofu appetizer--> it's very very pretty. but sadly most of the plated appetizers looked very similar. and some of the colours were just too much. =) and there were some pretty hot chefs walking about. it was very fun. and the next FHA would be in 2008. somehow,I'll be there the next time. exciting! here are some random photos. that's a very cool looking coffee machine. the brand is called elektra.damn cool right? and that's a cute lobster. I've never eaten lobster before anyway. and this is a sugar piece, using sugar marzipan and stuff to makethis totally intricate looking thing.it's a living room! and the other pic is a display of different fish. it's some supplier from some european country I think. after FHA which ended about 4 plus, I went over to J's mum's bakery. it's nice and cosy. had a very nice time talking to jdee. thanks jdee! it was a very enjoyable day. 11:30 PM
yes. it's a very nice day today=) IT'S MELANIE'S BIRTHDAY! fong yiyi and maryann yiyi came over(including all the kids) it feels like jack yiyi is still around only that she's not coming. haha. we had a very nice lunch. I woke up at around ten plus. and started cooking lunch with mama. mama was my 'kitchen assistant'=p anyway we did barbecue pork ribs, spaghetti,wholemeal bread rolls, roasted carrots pumpkin and potatoes . I actually wanted to do baked spaghetti but all the trays were used up and I didn't have much time. I shall make it some other time. bechamel sauce and cheese over pasta! oh spaghetti sauce was a lil different from the usual(diced carrots,tomatoes,celery,white button mushrroms.) I added in shitake mushrooms and chopped spinach. added veg! yummy. the roasted pork ribs were super nice! it wasn't overcooked this time. =) roasted pumpkin was really really nice! in short it was a very very nice lunch. I think the canivores at home enjoyed it very much. so did the veggie people aka catherine. hehe. anyway,I have discovered a new jap serial to watch. it's Kurosagi. it's airing in Japan now. it stars yamapi and the nobuta girl. it's quite nice but not fantastic. happy and slack day! the weather is terribly hot. rar. I hate sweating when I sleep. yuck. roasted stuff 11:30 PM

I have turned retarded since yesterday. oh well. stupid me. school & FHA tomorrow. exciting! me and jdee shall be some weird trade professionals to sneak in. six halls of Singapore Expo to walk through in 2 HOURS!! rar when we could have gone today. all thanks to my lack of communication and sense. 8:00 PM

today is a fun day. I like it=) the 2nd Go green CIP was pretty fun even though there were ten billion millipedes and centipedes crawling all over the estate! that constituency should send some pest control people! we went about collecting old newspapers,clothes and electrical appliances. heh. it's quite an experience. too bad HL couldn't come along! lunch was nice. yum. nana was damn late. walked around JP with IH for quite long. he's so silly. and so not fated to have the stuff he want. I think we went all over the place to find his billabong slippers which sadly doesn't have his size in stock. but it was fun and crappy. silly person ask me if I'm bored. I'm just a lil zoned out only. and I still have a violent objection towards that blue slippers. =p anyway nana met me at 330. so late! I waited like for half an hour. she got her hair cut while I sat in the corner eating cornflakes and reading comics. she's always green. gosh. we're going to buy bags from Zinc soon! spent some time walking about in Westmall till I had to rush off for church. Church was pretty okay. I'm glad more people are joining the church=) dinner was nice too.yummy! shall go find some fruit to eat later. okay I'm going to watch Gokusen 2. 9:00 PM

everyday is just so nice and fun although I'm rather slow with work and stuff. monday's bio prac was so funny. me K and S were breathing through tissue paper. we were cutting up a very smelly lamb heart. how gross is that.. but it was super funny. totally laughing throughout the entire thing. tuesday's badminton pe was damn fun. everyday was just nice and bearable. chem test was quite a horror. it was the only thing I was even worried and stressed about. me and P were like peering everywhere for possible answers. oh well,I hope I pass. NAPFA is coming. I hope I can pass. I feel happy=) tribal(called by IH cos we talk about too much jappy stuff) and random talk with jdee is absolutely fun. all things arashi,ryo,yamapi,kattun and all jappy stuff. mel and I bought Best of Kat-tun CD already! the photos are quite sucky but I don't care. I met mel at JP after school. mel's super silly. anyway, it was damn fun going out. dummy melz=p but mel is nice. she bought lotsa stuff to eat=) it just gets better everyday. it's natural, isn't it? it's nice crapping with Hl when the rest aren't around=) we and our silly realisation. haha=p I rather people tell me stuff on their own accord than me asking them. oh well, that's weird and random. don't bother. oh I cut my finger while peeling potatoes just now=( eating japanese curry makes me happy. it's so nice to eat! I totally love it. yummy! KAT-TUN/ARASHI/SMAP FAN!!!!!!zutto 9:00 PM

well, it has been a totally great weekend,meaning wonderfully slack. =) so much time was just spent doing my own stuff. I finished watching the entire Kimi Wa Petto(it stars Engine's Koyuki and Matsujun from Arashi) spent quite abit of time on watching various concerts and hana yori dango. it's damn nice to just relax and keep on watching jappy stuff! we should get more stuff to watch. Nobuta wo produce is the next one to get! kame and yamapi! =) other then watching stuff, eating was the next major activity. all sorts of rubbish went in. from junk food to just random food lying around the house. japanese curry is very nice! the instant ones taste good. shall cook it again. I did dinner today with the help of mel. trying to chop the enormously huge pumpkin was hard. oh gosh. anyway, we laughed like shit. we had roast pork and veg, soup and bread. nana called just now. she's super kan cheong! she just came back from Malaysia, apparently, she highlighted her hair blond white and she wants to cut her hair. so ya.. I feel tired. I'm dreading the upcoming chemistry test and mr PC. rar. if only school was nice and relaxing, but oh well. 8:30 PM
stuff is pretty okay. don't quite feel like saying much. anyway,I've been eating alot of nice stuff=) happy easter! children's mass was very cute. 1:45 PM

the days are just so randomly nice and happy. =) I actually could run 6 rounds without stopping(in parts of 2 though) school was pretty okay yesterday. and I like sleeping on chairs=p KC will know. I think we were kinda mad yesterday 'cos HL actually ran so fast. and I felt energetic after the run. I fell asleep during church yesterday. mel didn't even bother to wake me up. anyway, it's Good Friday. I had a pretty slack day. I woke up at around ten plus 'cos claud insisted on drawing the curtains. I started my day by waxing the balcony chairs. mel and I watched kat-tun concert and hana yori dango. church was so packed today! it was totally madness even our standing spot was taken by many unknown people. didi is gross. hmph! I'm eating way too much these few days! I'm eating random things at weird times. I baked brownies when I got home today. 11:00 PM

it's such a nice happy day. so many things amuse me throughout the entire day. and I feel asleep during chem lect again. I think HL must be quite amused by my almost falling all over the place=p oh well. I finished one maths tutorial today! we went to Turf City for the cross country finals. most of the time was spent walking around Giant and looking out for people. K spotted this absolute hottie though he's younger but he looks as old as us! and we finally agree on this one! he's one hot guy. anyway, cool nerd is metro cool nerd. I like the hair and the shuai qi. no jumping to any other boat! rar. random things just makes me smile. me Hl and IH went to westmall for dinner. mel was having violin lessons and I totally forgot! =( didn't know till she came home. rar. random conversation with people at home just makes my day even better. =) 9:30 PM

rar! there are NO female chefs featured in the World Gourmet Summit this year. totally biased!! hmph. check out the site.http://worldgourmetsummit.com but it's a HAPPY day. althought I almost 'fainted' during chem lecture and stoned so much for the last 2 days. I must say school is rather interesting and funny at times. sometimes, we're laughing so much. sometimes, we're just falling asleep. and I fell asleep looking at mr PC. oh my.. mel bought hana yori dango due to my insistence. and I have watched the entire serial already!! it's such a funny and sweet show!! I'm quite pleased how the past 2 days have turned out. it's quite a nice feeling really. 9:30 PM
Sunday, April 09, 2006
oh yay! my photo finally appeared=) yes I baked cookies today. they're called cowboy cookies. how cute right? they are just plain old chocolate chip cookies with rolled oats. they're really nice. yumyum. anyway, I'm quite convinced that singaporeans are pervy. just because that woman has big boobs so she's Ms Singapore Universe. oh gosh. I was laughing my ass off during the show. and I haven't done GP essay. shall do it tomorrow. mama,papa,claud and mel are mad over watching CSI. hmph! when they always scold me and mel for watching our jappy stuff! 10:15 PM

I think my digestive system has gone mad. which is bad because I can't eat as freely as I want. =( rar. anyway, bio spa was surprisingly okay. there are these really really cute tees I found online on one of the food blogs I frequent. they are absolutely cute!!! http://www.poofy.net/shop/pancakeshirt/ anyway my day is pretty okay. it's kinda mixed up. church was okay. it's palm sunday. church always makes me think more about life and how we devote our lives to God. anyway, no matter how life turns out to be, we should just keep moving forward. just bang everything down. I don't exactly understand the feeling of 'life has lost its meaning' 'cos I've never really felt(very strongly) that way before. but I do know that it's the way we face things that affects our lives. so come what may. I haven't done GP essay yet. shall do it tomorrow. can't wait to bake tomorrow. cookies!! 8:45 PM
Friday, April 07, 2006
heh. I think ms kc's letter to HL is damn sweet. oh well. anyway I guess the problem is more or less okay. so that makes me a happy person=) and I realised what a stupid idiot I've been the past few days. I'm frowning now at the way I acted and stuff. it's quite ridiculous really. I can't say it's a waste of time but it definitely took up alot of my time. I guess I was just being irritating and just holding on to something that was actually non-existent. tsk. it was all mental! rar. I'm damn stupid. sorry. I guess the problem affected us in so many different ways. it's quite amazing that we have so so different view points on the entire issue.oh gosh. guess we'll all work on it . yup. I'm quite amused by role reversal. and I realised prayer does work. it's bio spa tomorrow and I haven't started!!!! rar. SMAP rocks! I love their songs. I ate so many things when I got home. chocolate, frozen yoghurt, instant mashed potatoes and dinner. and drank milk. oh my. I'm back to normal. so =) that means baking is on this weekend! yay=) whatever happens stick together okay? and dodoma it's not a sad life! 9:30 PM

I'm constantly listening kattun everytime I'm on the comp. it makes me happy most of the time. I didn't go to school today. I'm rather terrified of school really. my body felt ultimately weird. had the weird stomachache again. and just slept all the way thru. oh well. crapping with YY makes me feel slightly better. at least she understands how I feel. we were always together even when we had the biggest fight of all. anyway, whatever will be will be. rar.the weekend is almost here and I have done practically nothing the entire week. and there's bio spa on sat! oh my. I don't see any point in finding out everything as if it makes anyone feel better. and we can't exactly expect stuff out of people all the time. it's not an obligation at all. it's just plain old friendship isn't it? and friendships are always meant to be when we're placed together. I never ever had the notion that a friendship is not meant to be. it's just ridiculous. it's just a matter of effort and time. not everything is fairytale-like. life is just like that. I'm almost there. 11:15 PM

I just can't bring myself to forgive or forget. I keep trying to force myself to do so but I can't. this time I really cannot. even after talking to father joe today, I just can't. I need time. it's different this time. no one that close has ever done that to me. never ever and I just can't take it. school was just so fake and weird. I could feel my heart contracting in such a weird way that I didn't even feel normal. the only thing I was thinking about was going home and just staying there. I don't even feel like going to school tomorrow. I don't like showing my emotions all over my face. it's just me. can I even ever open up again? I don't even know myself. 11:30 PM
Tuesday, April 04, 2006
suddenly, the range of emotions I can feel right now is reduced to so few. I guess it's no use to even feel so strongly. school sucks. but we all don't have a choice,do we? I really don't know how to react to it. it just felt so weird. and it really hurts deep down inside. it pisses me off, irritates me and rar... oh well, guess I'll just have to go through it all. the only thing I really don't want to feel now is hate. if not... 9:45 PM

I don't like this. 10:00 PM

it's SMAP today(playing now). I love SMAP. their songs are so cute and absolutely nice. I'm in a happy mood today=) I woke up rather late. I think around 11+. I was watching Pride and Prejudice with mel till abt 3am. it's such a sweet movie. I was kind of planning to do baked rice for lunch but mama's stock wasn't done. so we ended up going to Jurong East for lunch and to the library. coincidently,walking around with mel, I saw a familiar figure. from the way he walked, I quite figured out who he was. heh. anyway, jo was quite sweet to come along to meet me for a while(and papa had to come along so fast. wanted to talk more crap but had to go off) it's quite nice to see him 'cos we haven't seen each other for quite a long time. rar. mel says he's so tall and shuai. I think so too=p and what YY told me about him is wrong! I read Pride and Prejudice just now(and 2 other novels) I napped for too long. I wasn't able to bring over baked rice for P's mum. oh well, I make it up another day. I'm a happy gal=) toric lenses are so cool. they look different from normal lenses. the center bit is blue! baked rice 10:15 PM
Saturday, April 01, 2006
yes once again I'm listening/watching kat-tun concert. it's rather addictive. my handphone is full of recordings=p it's a pretty nice day in all. church was quite okay. I couldn't quite understand today's sermon. oh well. but it's something about reconciling with others before death. I think. rar. somehow,these few weeks has been kinda emotionally draining. I've no idea why. things happen. and it seems like I'm always the one helping others to solve stuff. I'm not complaining but it's weird that it happens all the time(well almost) and God somehow indicated I should be doing this kind of stuff. so oh well. I'm fine really. I'm doing some ridiculous tickle tests. I'm quite bored. rar. I guess I'll sleep early today. 11:00 PM
