What is work

Been a long long time since i've last written a post here, partly due to the fact that i am incredibly tired from internship and just wanna make full use of my weekends to hang out with friends, family and just destress. My internship has been fine so far, with not much to do, but now i've had to rush out a proposal with my project mate for the company supervisor. I just felt that the company should've done all the project sorting stuff before they accepted so many interns. But overall it was a good 6 weeks.

I had to miss work this week because of a seminar event that my course manager nominated me for. I had no one that i really knew at the start but the last four days that i spend with my team really made the whole thing worthwhile. At first, i thought to myself that it was gonna be a torturous week since i had no one that i was really close with, but as i got to know my team better, i found that most of them were quite easy going. I really had fun and hopefully i'll be able to see them again soon.

Group photo with my team mates!!

My SLOs were also very very patient with us. They were one of the best people i've met. During this short period of time i also got to know two schoolmates from my school and it was a very good experience that i'll never forget.

Don't exactly know all of them, but they are from my school. HAHA.

 Actually, before the seminar i helped out at the Farmer's Market at Kranji Farm Resort last weekend and it was a very great experience as well. It's my 3rd time helping my friend out and the event was fun because my friends were there. It's about the people that makes the event more meaningful. I also found this restaurant there and it was one of the best. The prices i think are quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food, we had a few pastas and the Rosemary Chicken~~ The chicken was only 15SGD and it was so tender, the meat was juicy and huge and mash potato to go with the chicken!! If only it wasn't that far from my house, i would go there during weekends more often!!

This was lunch. HAHAH. IT'S DAMN GOOD LOR

It has been a memorable two months, met new people, formed new bonds and i just hope that my next two months would be this eventful and memorable.

Johor Trip!!

Been a while since i've posted! Took a while away from posting because i felt lazy. Well, during the first weekend of March, i went for a two-day one-night trip in Johor with my family! And cousins, and aunts and my maternal grandparents. HAHA. It was fun!! But too short to do everything. Hopefully we can go again soon!! HAHA.

Penang Laksa!!

The first stop was KSL City Mall, i think. And we had Penang Laksa for lunch after a long trip crossing the causeway. It was packed! HAHAH. The laksa was totally different from those we have in Singapore and it was good! Kinda like tom-yum soup, the soup base has a sour and kinda spicy taste. Although i'm not sure whether if it's authentic, since i've never went to Penang. HAHA.

Taiwanese fried squid!!

We had these fried squid to go with the laksa, the stalls where just located next to each other which was quite convenient. After that we went for a walk around the mall, although there's nothing much there except for mostly restaurants and saloons. 

Guo Tie!! Or fried dumplings

For dinner, we had it at a food court near my cousin's house and ordered a bunch of stuff, most of it was good, but the Bak Kut Teh i had wasn't that good. Guess there's bad food in Malaysia as well. HAHAH. The char kuey teow was good though. And although it was at a food court, its damn expensive! Around 400 to 500RM. And some of it's portions are really small as well.

Char Kway Teow!

The next morning, we had Dim Sum for breakfast! It was good, but some were not that good and again, the portions were small. But was worth it since we ordered a lot.

Bonus, we had Starbucks at Aeon Tebrau Shopping Center! While taking a break from window shopping. The retail prices in Malaysia is similar to those in SG, but it's a few dollars cheaper. BUT for brands like Converse and Everlast, it's a about 10 to 20 dollars cheaper than SG!! Too bad i didn't bring enough cash. Will certainly shop there for clothes when i have the money!!

Bak Kut Teh!

BAK KUT TEH!!! Haven't had it in a long time and last Sunday, my father decided to take my whole family to try out the new Bak Kut Teh restaurant which opened not long ago at Seletar Mall.

The new restaurant which is part of a chain BKT restaurants around Singapore known as Song Fa Bak Kut Teh is apparently a brand that is almost as old as Singapore is, as a republic. The restaurant has quite a few other types of soups in their menu, but what we went there for was for the BKT so i didn't pay much attention to the other dishes. And there were noodles too! Shall try that the next time we go there.

There's the pork loin BKT and the pork ribs BKT, we ordered the pork ribs BKT since it's the normal BKT that we are used to. We ordered some sides as well to go with the soup!

Additional side to go with the BKT!! You Tiao

Before the BKT came after we ordered, the You Tiao came first and it tasted like any normal you tiao, but it would be nicer if it was heated a bit before being served, but since we're gonna dip it in BKT soup, i didn't complain that much. HAHAH.

Here's the main star!!

My first impression was, "What a small bowl of BKT for $7!" BUT we realised that there's refills, HAHA. Since there were four of us, four bowls of BKT soups in small bowls were served. And each had 3 pieces of pork ribs with soup. It would be great if they served it in a huge bowl, since it's for 4 people. And we wouldn't need to refill our soup bowls so many times. The overall taste wasn't that bad, but it wasn't spicy enough. Although it wasn't that spicy, the taste of herbs were very nice with the soup! For those who doesn't like the taste of strong herbs, it wasn't really that strong but was enough to taste it and make the soup nicer.

Pork Trotters!

One of the sides we ordered were a plate of Pork Trotters!! It was deboned, which was good since it would be troublesome to eat with the bones. HAHAH. The trotters wasn't bad as well, the meat was tender and easy to chew and the sauce was great! With the rice. HAHAH.

Here's the bowl of rice.

Since we get refills for the soup, one bowl of rice was enough to make us feel bloated. Really worth the money, it was less than 50 bucks, around 40+? And we would go there again, if it wasn't crowded all the time. HAHAH.

Din Tai Fung for dinner :D

It's been a while since i've eaten at Din Tai Fung and i've got the chance to eat there again last Sunday!! I went to my aunt's house last Sunday with my mum and sister, and we went for dinner together at Din Tai Fung at Tampines Mall!! The last time i ate there was back in 2011 and it's been too long.

We had some main dishes such as fried rice and beef noodles, but the main reason to eat there is because of their 小笼包!! HAHA. Although i can't say that it is the best, but it definitely isn't the worst!!

Their fried rice with egg!

The fried rice is definitely one of the best among the dishes that we ordered. Is isn't that salty or oily and tastes like eggs (obviously). And i think it's pretty healthy, since it isn't that salty or oily. The taste of the rice is completely relies on the eggs, which i think they used a lot for one plate of fried rice. HAHAH. But it's definitely good. I would wanna try the Fried rice with Pork Chop next time!

Beef Noodles!

First time eating their beef noodles and it's not that bad, although the taste of the beef is very strong, the meat is soft, easy to chew. There was quite a lot of noodles as well, and the portion of the meat they gave was quite huge as well!

THE MAIN DISH!!

The main dish is of course the 小笼包(Xiao Long Bao, XLB)!! HAHA. Definitely tasty and a must order when going to DTF!! 

Blogging about this because i'm not sure when will i be going there again, but i would definitely try to go back soon!! 

Pancakes and e-learning :D

Hello!
Posting again!
Been "free" this whole week because it's e-learning week!! I was able to do my work anytime i want and enjoy the freedom i have at home instead of being in school. ANDD i can sleep in late as well! HAHAH. I was able to make my own breakfast for a few days and improve on my pancake "skills"

Here's the pancake i made with scrambled eggs and chocolate syrup!!

Looks nice right? HAHAH. But don't be fooled by the picture, because i added a few filters to it. HAHAH. But i can proudly say that my pancake skills are starting to improve, it was a lot better than the first time i've made it! And the eggs too. It tastes a lot better than the eggs i first cooked with the pancakes because i didn't know how to make it during that time. HAHA. But now with credits to my friend's way of making scrambled eggs, i finally made scrambled eggs look like scrambled eggs! AHHAHA.

ANNDD, i've got great news. I'm going to Malaysia on this Friday! Which is tomorrow!! HAHAH. To celebrate my grandma's birthday over the weekend and then return to Singapore on Sunday. Which is a bit short since i've never gone back since 2012, but it's better than nothing! I really miss the food there!! HEHE. love their wantan mee, compared to SG's it's a lot nicer and worth the money!! Another thing is that, i'm also confirmed going to HONG KONG! With my aunt!! HEHE. SO GREAT THIS YEAR. Leaving the country twice in a year is something i've never done before because my father didn't agree. But luckily i was able to "persuade" him. HAHAH. YAY! But before that i must finish my e-learning! Tomorrow's the deadline for all the assignments! So i shall stop here! Bye! 

2015 SEA Games Countdown walk-a-jog! :D

HEYY
Posting again!! HEHE. Decided to write a post on this boring Sunday because i've nothing much to do and basically just resting at home. Hehe. Wish i could use emoji here! Lol. Would be cool if blogger implemented it in posts.

So basically, as the title of this post states, i went for the 2015 SEA Games Countdown walk-a-jog on Friday with my friends and friend's friends. HAHAH. And this mass walk-a-jog is free to participate in, in addition, there's also a free t-shirt given. Which sounds fun, but it wasn't what we expected. The walk was just around a route in a park near the newly built national stadium,

Here's a picture of the new national stadium! 

with a large dome which is said to be able to retract, and also with many new functions that not many people know about. HAHAH. But it looks so cool with the skyline! The new stadium complex has a sports hub integrated with it and a small scale shopping mall, which seems interesting to visit when it's completely opened to public! I would really like to see the inside of the stadium and also what the rest of the new complex has to offer! But i guess it'll have to take a while.

Marina Bay Sands! With the SG Flyer

After all the sight seeing of the new stadium, we strayed off the path and basically just left halfway to take a more scenic walk of our own! HAHA. And it was damn fun!! Walking with friends, looking at the Singapore skyline, enjoying the breeze! It wasn't all that bad. At least we enjoyed ourselves and got free shirts! HAHAH.

 

Here's a paranoma! See how wide the track is!

The walking track heading towards the Marina Barrage is huge! and long. Almost had blisters walking there, but anywhere is fun with friends HAHA. And also with the beautiful skyline :D

Gardens By the Bay!!! Although i haven't really been inside :p

Selfie with MBS! Hehe

And lastly, we ended our own scenic walk at the Marina Barrage with a selfie with MBS! HAHAH. It was fun! I would go for these events again if there's any more and it it's free. HAHA. :p Typical singaporean here. Hehe. Shall end this post here! Bye :D

First week of second year!

Hey!
Posting again! First week of my second year in poly passed without much problems! Been a tiring week because i'm still trying to adapt to the early morning classes that i have this semester. All my classes now start either at 9, 8 or 10am and it's damn tiring. It's not worse than secondary school but since i'm so used to waking up a bit late, 8am lessons are too much for me. Still in the process of adapting but it'll take some time since it's been one year since i left secondary school and it's not as easy as before haha. Worse thing is that, on Tuesdays i end at 9pm! Freaking 9pm! Shouldn't had chosen that CDS if i known i would end so late. But it's only Tuesday because my Wed, Thurs and Fri timing is not affected because my CDS is one shot 3 hours! HAHA

Talking about ending late, it's only the second week of school and i already have a make up lesson which is on Friday. :/ But luckily, Thursday is LABOUR DAY! School just started and i already have a public holiday. HAHA. Wish more holidays like these would come XD Kinda wasted my Sunday by staying and chasing my drama... I wish weekends are longer. But life has to go on even if i complain. HAHA. Super tired right now, think i'll sleep early tonight. :) That's all for now. Bye~

Sentosa and other stuff

Hey!
Posting again! Been having fun the past week!! Went to the cinema for 2 days in one week!! First time i watched 2 movies in one week. HAHAH. Went to Sentosa for a picnic with friends too. I'm starting to think this semestral holiday is the best out of all i'e had so far. Got a little sun burn on my nose but it was fun. Anddd i bought a iPad Air!! Well, technically my father bought it with his money but it's MINE! HAHA. I have to share it though. But here's the iPad! Tada!

Bought the Space Grey one!!

Bought the space grey version because i have a white iPad 2, so it's good to have a change of colour. The iPad Air is definitely better than my 2 year old iPad 2 and it's is damn light! I actually wanted a Xperia Z2 Tablet, but it's not out yet so i settled for a iPad Air. It's better than nothing right? Other than that, i went tomb sweeping yesterday and damn it was HOT. The sun was so scorching hot but it's quite windy and the skies are so damn blue, here's a picture:

Look at that sky!!

Can't see such clear skies while staying in a HDB

Since Qing Ming is next week, my parents decided to do it earlier since there would be a lot of people during the actual week and thus it wasn't so crowded. Actually there seems to be practically nobody around.

Well, i'm going to my friend's house to play computer games since my computer is a MacBook and a MacBook can't use steam, i also don't have windows installed, so i just have to go my friend's house and use their computer. HAHA. Leaving house soon so i shall stop here. I'm already late for the actual meeting time. HAHA. Bye!

Semestral Holidays are here!!

Hello!!
Just started my holidays not too long ago. Finished all my modules for this semester!! Now the holidays are here. HAHAH. Been waiting for so long for this holiday! Just have to wait for my results. Hope i can get at least a GPA of 3.0 or higher!! I know that i haven't put in as much effort for this semester as compared to the last one. So hopefully my results doesn't look so ugly. Well, during this holiday i shall make use of my time to reduce my BMI to an ideal one. Since i'll be going into NS in another 2 years, i might as well use this time to lower my weight so i don't have to do a few extra months. Heard from others that if your BMI is not ideal there would be extra months of training, which i hope i can not go by lowering my weight. I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT BADLY. HAHA. But these few days the haze is back so hope that tomorrow there's no haze in the morning because i'm going to try jogging/running for one week. Other than that i don't think i'll be doing anything special these holidays. I really wanna travel :(

Well, gonna stop here. Since today is a Sunday, i shall watch my anime!! Bye~

CNY~~

Hey!
First post of February and also the first post during CNY~
The long awaited CNY is almost over with today. Going to my relative's house today for dinner and taking my last few ang paos. HAHAH. Well, all good things come to an end but there's still next year! Took some photos of the first 2 days of CNY and although celebrating CNY here is not as festive as celebrating it in Malaysia, it was still fun. But i really hope i can celebrate it in Malaysia next year with my maternal grandparents if my father allows. HAHA.

First day CNY ang paos!

Day 2 at aunt's house :)

The end of CNY also marks the ending of my second semester in poly. With next week being the last official week of school, i got more than one week to study for my main exams and hopefully i can focus on studying. I really hope to get similar grades as last semester but i think it would be tough if i don't study hard. Need to really concentrate on the last week of lessons!! There's also a presentation tomorrow, hopefully i can do well since it's the last presentation for this semester. Been a really hectic week this week and i'm gonna enjoy myself later at my relative's house. Shall stop here. My cousins are at my house now. HAHA, gonna socialise and get off my computer. Bye~

Grandma's birthday!

Hello!
Posting again!! It's Friday! Marking the end of another school week. Barely got through the week! And there's quite a few quiz and tests coming up next week. Really tired and the main exams is around one months time! No time to lose huh, gotta work hard and charge till the end of this semester then i will have another 1 and a half months of holiday!! YAY~ Will try to lose some weight during the holiday and hopefully weigh lighter at the end of the school holidays. Hehe.

Okay, think i'll stop writing about my school life on this post. Just wanted to wish my grandma a happy birthday!!  Although her birthday isn't here yet but we're celebrating it earlier for her. Well, my grandma has been with me since i was young and took care of me when my mum was still working. So she practically been there my whole life. But sometimes i can't stand how she talks and some things she does and even though sometimes i can see that she's a but biased but she's still my grandmother. I'm very grateful that i still have my grandma with me. When i was young, she would give me pendants to wear, help fix my torn clothes and even food. HHAHA. Yeap, she's still my grandma and i hope that she would be able to be with us for a very very long time :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY~

Shall keep it at that and end this post here. Bye~

Rainy Friday

Hello!
It's Friday again! The week passes by very fast when you're busy. School had gotten more and more tiring. It's hard to keep up with this marathon. Sadly, I've got no choice. But every week I look forward to today because it's the end of the school week!!! Luckily there's weekends. If not I would really die. HAHAHA. At least during the weekends I can recharge a little before another 5 days of school. And today, I'm going to celebrate a friend's birthday!! Although her birthday was last week, but she couldn't make it so today is like a make up birthday celebration. HAHAHA. But there were some problems while deciding a venue to eat but it was all cool. Got it settled. And as the title states, it's a rainy Friday, it's still raining now or drizzling but I hope it wouldn't be when I reach the mall, I don't wanna get my shoes wet. It's gets a weird smell if it got wet and I'll have to wash it a few times. HAHAHA. So yeah. Happy Friday!!
