Things have been looking up during 2nd half of March hols... went out nearly everyday that resulted in the neglection of my bloggie...

Thurs 17/3
Out on a mission to get Zebra's present as her bday is tomorrow. yh, fung, mar and me went to far east to look for something suitable. the initial plan was to get her anything zebra related... maybe wallet or soft toy or... black and white bra?? hahaha but we don't know her size... realised that 77th street is on nearly every floor of far east plaza. then we decided to get her a necklace but don't really know her taste... argh... this is getting hopeless! surprisingly quite a lot of shops were still closed... or maybe it's coz we were there quite early since mar had library duty later.
Gave up searching in Far East and headed to Takashimaya instead. Found a toy zebra from Kalm's (actually it looked more like a horse with some stripes =p) and thought of getting Seaweed's present(a pillow in the shape of a cat's face) at the same time. Plus we threw in a wastepaper basket for them to share since they're fellow room mates after all.
Mission accomplished! off to Delifrance for lunch. I was quite sickened by my chicken mayo croissant and so were the others by their potato gratin. not to say it wasn't nice tho.. maybe just too much of a good thing.
Mar decided the heck with library duty, go visit her parents in Chinatown instead... you go girl! haha.. screw library! yh had to go off to CGH for her appointment. left me n fungus who met up with the gay partners for Boogeyman in Plaza Singapura.
Movie was sucky with non-existent plot. plus a couple of girls sitting the row behind us cant keep their bloody mouths shut. had to talk on top of their voices for every scene and shriek their lungs out at every sudden movement in the movie... one guy commented 'eh you're scaring me more than the movie lah!' but me and fung were covering our ears and eyes most of the time. (Brit: lousy and useless la u all) In one scene where the main character visited his mother's coffin, we anticipated that something bad was gonna happen.. even CK closed his eyes hahaha! Later brit was so happy bout the movie say it's damn fun but fungus scared to sleep at night! had to make sure that mar was gonna be back in the room and not staying with her parents.

Fri 18/3
Mar told me that fungus was so scared by the movie that she didn't dare to sleep with her head near the closet (lol!)... but when she lay near the study table she could see the bathroom door with its door slightly ajar and glowing with the bathroom light. she was so disturbed by it that she went to slam the door shut and ended up sleeping with her head near the closet!
Later at night, went to meet yh at ECP, persuaded Mel to go, she initially wanted to stay in and do tutorials...hahaha my powers of persuasion are getting stronger! so it was mel n yh on bikes and brit, ck and me blading. we had difficulty going over humps... so pathetic.. had to rely on yh to pull me over some or else i lose my momentum and roll backwards! brit lost his footing trying to go up a hump and had to be helped up my Mel! ck seems to be doing quite well other than occasional times when he went too fast and flung his arms out to regain his balance. haha..
Blading can be pretty tiring work... at about 10.15pm, we decided to head back towards the rental shack. since discovering that i can blade faster and more confidently if i held on to yh while she cycled, i was lazy and just relied on her to pull me along on the way back. that is, til i went past a metal drainhole and suddenly felt my right blade was imbalanced. it had only 3 wheels! the others backtracked to help me look for it while i stood helplessly rooted to the spot. it was after a while that i realised the wheel was stuck somewhere at the back of the blade with the stopper thingy... gah im bad at describing! with a lil prying, the wheel fell out. so the hunt was stopped. again, depended on yh for driving force, til i went a tad too fast and lost my balance, pulling her down with me with a mighty CRASH! ok ok that was exaggerated... we fell but no injuries were sustained... oh except for yh's flip-flops.. haha she had to walk barefoot later on. sorry! i'll buy a new pair for you.. can't stand the flourescent ones you're wearing now hehe

Sat 19/3
YAY! mum n sis coming down to see me today! they arrived round lunch hour and my uncle took me to the bus station to meet them. after lunch at tiong bahru hawker centre, we checked into duxton hotel in tanjong pagar.
during the evening we went to chinatown but then decided that there was nothing much to see so i wheedled my way to ask them to eat at The Coffee Club, since they wanted to eat there last year when they came but too many people. me can take advantage of mum being here to eat nice food =)
thought it was a posh place but apparently not really since there were some people inside dressed in denim shorts. my mum ordered garlic prawns with linguini which was not bad but i preferred mine which was slipper lobster(dunno y it's called that) with linguini. my sis had country pie which had mushroom and mashed potato inside and was covered with a layer of cheese. but didnt understand how mum can call for italian again, since she went to Italy the last weekend and celebrated her wedding anniversary (15/3) with italian food.. we also shared some bruschetta which was garlic bread with sundried tomatoes and salmon.. my first time eating salmon! yeah being the gastronomer (is that the correct word?) i am. maybe the slices were too big coz it tasted like i was putting seawater into my mouth!
dropped by kinokuniya later. bought sophie's world... saw a whole lotta other books that i wanna read... like
Rule of four-- Ian Caldwell -- sounds like dan brown material
Milan Kundera
Catch 22-- Joseph Heller
Of fish and bicycles
Life of Pi-- Yann Martel
Lovely Bones-- Alice Sebone
can't recall the rest.. sigh.. so many books so little time!
watched American Beauty at night. Kevin Spacey was good in there. can see why it was so award-winning.

Sun 20/3
Took them to Borders today. At lunch wanted to eat at noodle house but it was quite hidden from view so we went into NYDC instead... sinful food they serve... esp. the desserts! we had pizza and baked rice, the chocolate cake was amazingly rich with oreo cookies! after browsing at HMV, had to send them off and go back to the hostel... the next time i'll see them will prolly be in june.. can't wait for the hols! school reopens the next day...
