Pig out session at Fisherman's Wharf and The Cheesecake Cafe...

Met up with Darryl for dinner just now after my Managerial Finance paper... The paper today was still quite ok. Made some mistakes but should still be able to get a B ba... At least I have more confidence in this paper than the coming friday one... I am definitely looking forward to friday when I will finish my exams...

Anyway Daryl and I went to the Fisherman's Wharf for Fish and Chips. We went there cos he read from someone's blog that the FnC there is so called the best that the person ever tasted before... After trying my Snow Fish FnC and Darryl's American Catfish FnC, both of us still think Handle Bar's FnC is still the best... I think of Handle Bar's FnC I can only think of yummy... :P My Snow Fish FnC is ok.... I just dun like the "xin wei" it has... Maybe it's been in the fridge for too long ba... I wun b surprised too. Cos there are really very few people eating there. That shop is soooo quiet... They dun even play any music there. Feels so weird like we are in a library and will be chased out if we speak too loudly... Another surprising thing about that place is that it only accepts cash... Dunno why but I'm still kind of surprised by that.
American Catfish FnC and Snow Fish FnC
After dinner, we went over to The Cheesecake Cafe. Darryl been craving for his Peach and Jelly Cheesecake since Jan... So he dragged me there to satisfy his craving for his fav cheesecake cos he's still not fully after the FnC... I was already full from what I ate the whole day but still I went over with him and ordered my usual Rum and Raisin Cheesecake. Bo bian... I can never resist the Rum and Raisin Cheesecake from there... :P
Rum and Raisin Cheesecake, Peach and Jelly Cheesecake, Hot Mocha and Ice Chocolate Float
Verdict for the day: Handle Bar's FnC is still the best so far and so is the Rum and Raisin Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Cafe... :P

Exams are spoiling my dieting plans...

Exams is always the time when I pig out errmmm... I mean eat the most... Bo bian lah... Who ask me to be a strong believer of the "no food no brain" theory... Study must eat... or else nothing will gets into my head cos "No food no brain" mah... :P So the end result is... My dieting plans are gone liao... I think I have gained back all the weight that I had lost recently. Dun need to consider the past few days... Today will be enuff for me to put on all the weight liao... Let's see what I ate today...

1. Oatmeal for Breakfast
2. Lunch at Home
3. Tibits that I munch on while studying...
4. Coke and Fries in SP while studying
5. Snow Fish Fish and Chips at Fisherman's Wharf
6. Rum and Raisin Cheesecake + Mocha at The Cheesecake Cafe

Result: I am so full now that I can't even sleep...

Grrr... Next time I must keep reminding myself to keep a lookout on what I eat and not be tempted by the food in front of me. Especially when I seldom exercise at all... Last time still got go hiking so still not so bad. Or else I also used to play badminton or go "swimming" with my classmates. But now so long never go liao... errmmm... better cut down on my snacking... Or... maybe it's time for me to pick up a sport liao...

Sleepless at 3am in the morning...

Chiam arh.. This time really chiam liao... For some reason I just cant get to sleep... I am supposed to be up studying but I can't get whatever is in the notes to go into my head so I decided to go koon instead of wasting my time trying... But why am I still awake now??? Grrr... I just can't seem to go to sleep... So instead of sleeping I decided to blog cos I really have nothing else to do liao... Grr...

I'll be having my exams on mon (that is also today), wed and fri... I hope exams will come and go asap... Dun kill too much of whatever is left of my brain cells... Whatever it is, the papers better dun b too tough too... I just heard from Angela that CA1 for my vacation module will be like... 2 weeks after this exams? That like... super rush lor... SP just wun let us off rite? Do they need to pack the schedule until so tight??? Think this is the main disadvantage of a 1.5 yrs Adv Diploma course compared to a 2 yrs Adv Diploma course. I seriously wonder if there's any brain cells left in me for anyone to kill after I finish this Adv Diploma...

*Starts to daydream the day when I finish this course* I can see myself going overseas for a hoilday and enjoying myself with no worries that I have an assignment to rush or exams to study... I can see myself rotting in front of the tv after work when I have no school on every mon, wed and fri... Tv seem so foreign to me ever since I pick up my books again... It's only something that I can find time for every Sun from 12 to 3pm cos I'll be watching my CSI... ^_^ Maybe I will try to pick up on yoga or something after I finish this course, or even cooking or baking....? Somehow I doubt mum will dare to let me cook at home in case I burn down her kitchen... :P

*Snap out from my daydreams* Ok lah... Time to get back to the reality... I still have exams later so must try to go back to bed no matter what... In the meantime I can only look forward to the supper sessions I'll be having after my papers tomorrow and wed... :P
*Starts to wonder how am I going to lose weight with all the supper and the food I eat while studying...*

Places to chill out...

Sometimes I think I will love to go to a place, order a drink together with some light bites and just rot there for the whole day. It is even better if I have a book along with me. I think I can spend the whole day at that place and just read.

But sad to say, in Singapore there are not many places like this where I can chill out at. Maybe there are but I dunno their existence. So far I have only come across 3 places that I personally think I will do thatat... Think I shall list down some of the few nice chill out places that I found so far...

The Cheesecake Cafe
This place has quite a nice ambience. They serves very nice cheesecakes too which I bet is why they are named Cheesecake Cafe. I personally love their Rum and Raisin Cheesecake... Yum yum... DK was just complaining to me that we haben been there ever since Nov and he has been craving to go there ever since Jan... :P



Boat Quay TCC
This place has all the bean bags that you want. You can sit on the floor or on one of the many cushions there or if you are lucky, grab one of the many bean bags available there and sit on it... It's great going with a group of friends or even alone with a book. :)

Starbucks
There's this new Starbucks in Suntec... So far I have been there only once. Think it's quite nice. The best thing about that place is that there are very few people. Maybe because it's located in a quite ulu place where very few people pass by so not many people knows about this place.

The more I think about it, the more I starting to miss going there liao... Think find one weekend must go over to either one of these places to nua through the whole day... :P

Exams...

Grrr... it's the time of the year again when I'll b having my exams... wah... super sad now... y do I have to have exams??? How good will it be if there's no exams???

I let my manager signed my leave card yesterday... wah... super saddening to c my leave left with only 8.5 days of leave now... I took 5 days leave t one shot just for my stupid exams... So I better dun waste my leave and better do well in my exams... otherwise what a waste my leave will be... But I got a feeling I'll do my usual stunt every exams... study last min... :P

Actually I almost forgot that I'll be on one week leave the whole of nx week leh... I was typing the minutes after the meeting and training today cos there was nothing much I can do until we finish work. It was just before I leave for school when I remembered that I wun be back in office until 27th Feb... Heng I typed out and send the minutes out to everyone liao... Phew~! Anne thot I remembered until I told her that I actually forgot about it totally. :P

Let's hope I can sail through my exams smoothly... Hope there wun be any tough papers this sem... :P

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone~! :D Actually I never really think that Valentine's Day is any big deal. Maybe I am those weird person who never place any importance in this kind of days. To me, Valentine's Day is probably a day where you see more couples on the streets than usual or more ladies holding bouquets of flowers on their hands. Other than that, it is just another day of the life (a day where more guys get ke-tok by the florist). I know I am being super unromantic on a supposely very romantic day... :P

This year's Valentine's Day is probably a little different for me. I got a call at 11.40 from Fred telling me that he's waiting for me downstairs. I was quite surprised and was even more surprised when he appeared in front of me with a bouquet of roses. It was a very big bouquet of roses consisting 99 roses wor... in fact I think it's huge. I have never in my life received such a huge bouquet of flowers before. I guess he probably know that I will be too lazy to bring it home if he passed it to me somewhere else. He knew from the experience I had a few years ago when my classmates gave me a bouquet of flowers for my birthday. :P hee... Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers... :D Really really very touched...



You don't belittle the bouquet of flowers wor.... No matter how big or small the bouquet is, the only way you can hold the flowers is upright or lay it in your arms. Otherwise the water in the bouquet will start to flow out. It can be super tiring wor... Especially if it is a big bouquet... I learned from my experience on my 22nd birthday. :P
Anyway, hope you all will enjoy your Valentine's Day. If you are single and without a date, dun hide in your blanket and cry ok? It's no big deal. Just be thankful you are not one of those poor guys/gals who are outside being ke-tok by the restaurants or florists. :P

Top of the M

I met up with my friend for dinner on Fri after I skipped my lessons halfway. There's just no point staying on cos it's all presentations after all. :P We went down MS for bak gut teh then after going ard a few places, we decided to settle for Top of the M at Meritus Mandarin.


I think the place is pretty ok lah but not as impressive as what I heard it to be. Somehow I think Swissotel The Stamford is nicer. Maybe partly because it is taller. I remember City Space to be quite nice but a bit too quiet the last time I went. Everyone seems to be speaking in whispers. :P New Asia Bar and Grill is too noisy and smelly for my liking...

GX and I tried one of their speciality cocktail that comes in test tubes form. I think it is still quite ok but he thinks it's too bitter. I kept teasing him saying he "ci bu qi ku" :P

I think I will try and explore other places to see if there are nicer places to chill out. :) Hee.... What's life without being able to find a nice place to chill out? ;)

Chipmunk

I went for my super expensive dental appointment on Fri. Somehow I begin to look like a chipmunk (that's what Benny tells me) after that dental app cos of the swollen side of my mouth. It makes my face looks fat... :'( This is what Benny kept telling me yesterday "Quick spit out the walnut that u have in ur mouth~!" Grr... Luckily it's not painful. I can still eat and drink as normal.

Hope thw swell will go away soon. If not I think I will need to make another trip down to the dentist liao... :'(
