Gastronomical Expedition
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! (: and may you have a fruitful 2008 ahead!
the past few days had been fun, and i was catching up with sleep yesterday :D anyway, i shall talk about sat first. on sat i woke up to make tang yuans cos it was dong zhi. hand made tang yuans are just so much more meaningful and they taste more delicious (: ate like 20ish tang yuans before heading to maxwell food centre to join the councillors in their food expedition :D
was so delighted to see all my fellow councillors (: haha found out from them that they had earlier went to katong, old airport road and peoples park and they ate frog leg porridge! ZOMG haha i shd have joined them earlier loh! i loooove frog leg porridge ): anw i tried this horlicks + soya bean drink at maxwell food centre. it is supposed to be veri good but i thk it just tastes soya beanish with malty aftertaste loh. we ordered some desserts and some finger food there before heading to princep street, which was our next food chckpt.
we were hoping to eat delicious muffins there but when we reached there, the stall owner told us that the muffins were sold out. so it was rly disappointing ): we decided to eat dim sum instead. the dim sum was just average loh. some more the zhen zhu ji was a major con job. there was so much rich and like a few morsels of chicken onli ):
left with
wes halfway to go to cat hi class gathering @ fish n co. was surprised to see so many of my ex classmates and teachers there. it was like the best attendance ever in a long time.
wes and i were so stuffed we decided to share a plate. in the end
mrs goh was so nice and decided to treat us all which was quite bad cos there were so many of us ard and the bill was definitely in the hundreds.
after dinner with my pri sch mates, we went back to join councillors @
guanghao's house (:
guanghao's monitor is so cool cos it is a plasma tv screen OK. we skyped with
josie on
guanghao's bed and it was so funny to talk to
josie esp when he gets emo haha. :D we chatted a bit too long and by the time we finished chatting it was past midnite so there wasnt any public transport. that was a prob for those of us who wanted to go kbox. in the end we decided to cab even though cab fare had recently spiked. it was then that i found out that paradiz centre kbox was closed and that was where our class was supposed to meet the next day! OMG. was like super panicky loh. but decided to just go kboxing with councillors first. then worry later hahas.
we went to lucky chinatown kbox in the end. same old place like last yr. sang all the way from like 1ish to 4ish. finally got to sing all the nice new songs. haha we sang alot of HIGH songs like ren yi men and
kangya said i was so happy when i sang ren yi men that she didnt bear to skip the last portion of the song :P shui ba ren yi men jie gei wo~ (: oh yah and we ordered the christmas drink cos we got to keep the special kbox christmas mug :D but the christmas drink tasted weird. it tasted like something u get when u mix leftover soft drinks tgt :S but the mug was cute so it was worth it anyway. haha almost got a shock when we looked at the bill cos we were each paying 30+ for the kbox session. they were like ripping us off cos of the festive season loh ): but at least we had loads of fun.
cabbed back to
guanghao's house. tried calling for them to bring us into the house but none of them was awake to answer the calls. managed to get into the condo anw cos the security guard was sleeping zomg. but we were soon trapped again cos the lift had to be activated with a card. thankfully
darren picked up the phone and got
guanghao to fetch us upstairs :D
was dead beat by then and quickly found a spot in the living room to sleep. i displaced a lion and tiger soft toy from the cushion and slept on the cushion :D poor lion and tiger had to sleep on the cold floor for the night :P my voice was quite dead and i downed half a mug of water b4 sleeping hoping i would recover for the kbox session the next day :D conked out almost immediately after that cos it was alr 5 and we were sooo tired. haha anw thanks to all the councillors who came along to the kbox session and made it such a fun session :D looking forward to meeting u ppl again some time soon (:
