Keep your eyes open

Hello dear people! I'm in a very high mode now! For hell knows reason! Perhaps I'm high from the buffet that I have just eaten. Yups, eaten buffet again. :X

Sun: 21/08


Had a cousin gathering in the afternoon at Qiao's new place. I actually rushed home straight after tuition to bake some muffins for them! :D Hehe!

Milo chocolate rice muffins

My first time baking muffin yo~  Not very satisfied though. :( Its the toaster fault, had some uneven baking. :<   Who want to buy me an oven?! heh heh heh.. 

Mango agar-agar

Also prepared some agar agar the night before. ^^ People buy ur agar agar powder from 'happy grass'! 

Very delicious pls! :D

15mins to prepare, 20 mins to bake! Really simple for beginners! :)

Was quite anxious for their response for my muffins! :X 

Guess what? I had some positive responses! *phew*

My uncle keep doubting that I ACTUALLY BAKED THE MUFFINS! 

My cousin thought I used pre-mixed flour! HELLO I PREPARED THEM FROM ZERO TO HERO! lol! 

So glad the muffins turned out good! If not damn paiseh! :P

Oh! Can you believe my cousin don't know what is 'agar-agar' LOL! 

The 2 guys setting up the fire!

Trying to fix the gigantic umbrella! Cox the sun was really UNBEARABLE!!! 

Awesome rooftop swimming pool! Like really mini MBS right?! 

Bro eye-powering.. Like sister like brother. LOl!

So nice right~

My eyes are on the hotdogs, crabsticks and otah!!! :D

Pretty scene right!!

Playing in the pool~

We made a deal not to wet anyone. But promises are meant to be broken. Once one clown started splashing water and the other seeks revenge. That's it I tell you. The war starts. =.= 

A great night out with my dear cousin! Though not everyone was there. :X Initially was suppose to have like 15 of us, in the end only 8 turned up. But there were 15 ppl worth of food pls! So we had to eat from 5pm to 11pm just to clear the food! OH MY GOD RIGHT?! 

I was so high on sugar pls! Actually ate 3/4 of the marshmallows alone! Aside the many hotdogs, crabsticks, sweet potatoes and otahs that I had! :X Stomach was damn damn damn FULL! D: 

Almost played 'zhong ji min ma' just to clear the food! Heng ar! If not I think I'll just transformed into 'pink merlion'! LOL! 

'I MISS THE MARSHMALLOWS MADE BY THE UNKNOWN GUY FROM R&F BBQ! @HIDAYA!'

 LOL!

Cousin gathering is never complete w/o some htht session. <3 

My parents almost bought an apartment at 813 too! Imagine I could be neighbour with qiao and even meiling! The thought simply excites me! Oh well, it wont happen. :< The condo is kinda small to fit the 4 of us. :( 

Anyway this condo that you are seeing actually belongs to my bloody rich uncle. Yes the whole building belongs to him plus many many of the other condos at that area. You see, the rich actually gets richer while the poor people like us (ok, me) gets poorer. :( 

UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH!!

Mon: 22/08

5hrs of sleep, woke up feeling really sucky! :< Body refuses to slp. Sigh.. so what if I have a lot of free day? My body refuses to rest. T.T

Mini family day today, except poor daddy has to work, can't join us. D:

Went Bugis first! We actually went to this Goddess of Mercy temple behind Bugis street first. Mummy actually helped me to 'ask' for marriage. LOL! I think it's pretty accurate! I was quite shocked when I 'hear' HER reply. LOL! 

Then shopped at Bugis street. I DID NOT BUY ANYTHING! Cox I'm buying so much from G Market that Bugis street looks so uninteresting! :X

Then went to Toa Payoh for my long-waited Swatow Buffet again! :D

Actually today is a bad day for buffet. Cox I ate so much last night that I didnt feel hungry at all the whole day

And somehow the food was as appetizing as the 1st visit. :( 

Always the case right? The 1st visit will always like taste the best! 

Guess I wont be going back anymore, at least not so soon bah. :X

Abalone salad, the must have! This time round no more paula or ervin to let me have their share! LOL!

Congee is still good too! 

Had 5 of these awesome-ness!

3 char siew pau! :D

No red bean pau today. :( *heart broken*

Fried durian! Not in a very big appetite mood today for it though. :/ Anyway they only had these 3 also. :/

This came when we were bloated! We asked for a normal pork pau, but this was the size served to us!!!

The size of my face pls!!

<3

Never eat much really. :/ Too full to eat :X 

SO SAD!

1 congee

1 abalone

1 sharkfin

3 xlb

3 chee cheong fun

2 char siew pasties

3 char siew pau

5 custard pau

2 pork pau

1 siew mai

1 har gou

2 yam cake

1 beancurd roll

2 redbean pancake

5 desserts

1 egg tarts

1 fried durian

6 other fried items

total: 42 items. 

Really little what what my blackhole stomach can take. :X 

Thought I will eat the least among the 3 of us, in the end bro and mummy eat even lesser! They didn't like the dim sum. :( 

So quite a failed attempt to eat the place down. 

LOL!

Brother wanted popeyes. 

Each-a-box! :D

I FEEL LIKE A FAT! 

Ok, anyway Ally just reminded me that school HAS reopened AND it is already the 3rd week into the term! OMG! 3RD WEEK?! But I've only gone to school for 2 days leh!!!!!! 

I had that sudden panic attack. Cox I feel too slack. 

I think this slack timetable is kinda a double edged sword. It could kill my CAP seriously if I continue this holiday mood. :/ 

I NEED TO ADJUST MY ATTITUDE!

So it all ended on a good note.

School officially starts TODAY for everyone, everyone except for the slacker me. :P School starts on monday for me! :D It's official! I did not pon school ok! That's the first reaction when I tell ppl I starts school on mon. =.= I know it's awesome right? :D

09/08: NUS RAG DAY + NDP

This year's RAG DAY was special, it was held in conjunction with NDP! So the whole rag was actually held at The Promontory @ Marina Bay! It was a damn freaking awesome one hell of an experience!!!  

Meet up with <3 Ho-oh before heading down together. 

These 2 guys are by far my 2 favourite freshies! Can't stop laughing with them around! :D

Lunched @ Soup Spoon! Though I had a very huge breakfast (cox I thought we wont be having lunch. =.=) 

Lirong is a PUMPKIN FREAK! HAHAHAHAHA! Tasted all the rest of their soups, but none is comparable to pumpkin. LOL! My statement is damn bias I know. :P 

The weather was burning HOT!!! I stole Sihao's umbrella. :P 

<3

Ho-oh like seriously ROX!!! 

NDP after Rag day! :D Stayed for the fireworks!! DAMN PRETTY~

Honestly, I was super touched by this year's NDP! The song really warms my heart! :') 

Dessert with Ho-oh before heading back! :D Again Sihao and Jack never fail to entertain us! Especially like Jack!! He's the first guy friend that I know actually likes strawberries!! LOl! These 2 are seriously EPIC! :D I'm actually looking forward to the next Ho-oh outing! :D :D :D

Oh, so results of RAG DAY? Oh well, we returned the shields this year.. to BUSINESS. Oh well, it's ok~ They have the $$ to buy the awards but they definitely do not have the $$ to buy the spirit! No one cheers as loud and as proud as us, THE SCIENCE FACULTY. Seriously everyone hears us LOUD and CLEAR. We are clearly one united faculty and I really love this united spirit!! I'm also really proud of the Pharmacy too! Their never say die spirit though the music fails them. THAT'S THE WAY! Yeah, I think Law deserve their awards too. It was a great performance by everyone! CERTAINLY ONE HELL GREAT EXPERIENCE! Glad the freshies were there to witness NUS RAG DAY! The high-ness, the SCIENCE spirit and ultimately the NUS spirit when everyone cheers for the PHARM! :') It was a great way to celebrate NDP, feeling proud to be in NUS and even more being a Singaporean! 

10/08: Swatow dim sum buffet

Yes, I ate buffet again. :X My number 10 buffet for this year and it's only Aug! LOL! Dim Sum! Have been craving for a long long time and finally we are there~ 

Glad Swatow did not disappoint me! :D The food was good! 

The goods aka ate more than one serving:

Crispy Char Siew Pastry

I always love this dim sum. The crispy skin and the honey char siew is such a match! 

Congee

Definitely wrong to eat congee for a buffet. But the serving was quite small and the congee was really good! Basically you can almost just drink it! :D 

Siew Mai

Very juicy and meaty! 

Guess what's these? Fried durian!!! 

As a durian freak I can't resist this plate!! AWESOME~ 

Redbean pastry

You know I'm a red bean freak too! HAHA! 

Sesame Pau

I was surprised that the pau actually has running sesame lave in it! Totally must have! 

Custard egg yolk pau

Running lava! But after eating 3 of these, I was overwhelmed by the smell of the egg yolk. :X 

Sesame paste! I LOVE! :D

Redbean paste! :D 

Abalone ~ 

Such a luxury? haha! One each only, but I had the luxury to have 3! Cox Paula and Ervin were too full to have them! HOORAY to me! HAHA! Good to have friends who can't eat much eh? LOL! 

Redbean pau!

Look at the blurry photo you prolly know who hot the pau was and I so love it! Wanted to have more but they say no more le.. T.T *heart break*

Char Siew Pau.

Another must have! Wanted more, but run out again! T.T

The ok-oks aka didn't bother to have more:

chee cheong fun

glutinous rice 

Deep fried beancurd skin w prawns filling

Shark fin soup. 

Hardly any shark fin though, more of a gigantic dumpling soup!

Deep fried prawn fritters

braised chicken feet

I don't dare to eat. :X only tried a bit bit.. HAHA! 

Deep fried yam cake

Would be better if it was warmer 

Deep fried fritter w mango and prawns

xiao long bao

Sadly the skin was so bad that it couldn't hold the soup. Such a waste. :( 

Paper wrapped chicken 

Basically like roasted chicken. 

Deep fried fritter w durian and prawns

I find the combi kinda weird.

Deep fried prawns.

Har gao

The bad aka don't bother trying:

Gui ling gao was BITTER! T.T while Mango one was too SWEET! LOL.

Egg tarts

The tart was super hard and the filling was like non existent. LOL 

Pork ribs.

Like all bones and quite tasteless to me.

Deep fried yam fritter.

It was too salty and was cold. Maybe it will taste better if served warmer. :/

I think there should be more varieties but we didn't get to try them all. The serving speed was kinda slow, I was basically looking around for trolleys. BECOX THEY WERE SO SLOW TO FEED MY STOMACH! :(  LOL! 

It wasn't very buffet to me, cox I was NOT FULL at all.. :/ But I'll definitely come back for the items that I love! :D already booked a date with my family 26th to revisit Swatow! HAHA! 

GAMBIT!

They are always shocked by my huge appetite. But they haven't meet my mummy! She eats way more than I do! LOL! I think the gene runs in my family. :P Don't ask me how I can eat so much and not gain the weight. I can't answer you, maybe metabolism? I HAVE NO WORMS PLS! Ok, I think bad adsorption bah? I visited the toilet right after buffet. LOL! 

I really think this is a very great 'talent' given by god! HAHA! I wonder what a guy might think when they he sees a girl that actually eat so much more than him? :/ Run away? LOL! I know I need a guy who can really eat more than me! Hard to find right! HAHAHA! 

Caught Horrible Bosses after buffet

Hmm.. It was really funny!! But I find the whole plot really a joke! Guys can watch for Jennifer Aniston! LOL!  Or to just kill time and have a good laugh at their stupidism.

Witnessing the moment when Hidaya break fast. LOL!

Thank you Paula for the masks and notebook! :D 

I'm so grateful for FOP! Otherwise I wouldn't have met so many awesome people! :') 

FOP I SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
