A Thousand Lilac Petals
And chapters of my life Quotes: Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

I know you want me.



Claudia's homemade romanian dinner:


Was delicious
Was awesome
Was mouthwateringly good



I adore her current residence much more than the condo at Dover.
The present apartment reminds me of many of my friends' apartment in Austria.
It's old yet spacious.
The layout, the walls, the concept, the toilet, the rooms.
Brings back a sense of familiarity.
Reminds me of how enjoyable house parties and get-togethers were.
Drinks and food were usually prepared by the occupants of the house while the rest simply contributed more beer and liquors.
The merry-making never stops until we see the daylight
And that's when everyone leaves for home and straight into bed.
I was often guilty of that too.
But it was really an unhealthy indulgence.


Coming back here put a stop to those late nights and drinking.
Life may be less wild and more disciplined
But it feels good anyway.
Moreover, skyping every night has kept me pretty occupied.
And I am contented as it is.


So,
Made tarts (together with Liying and NF) for Claudia's house dinner.
And here are the pictures to boast:




The first tray upon completion






Ningfeng's halloween creation




Love the peach heart!
(again, with compliments from nf)






We were told to post with our tarts






Perfect!
Getting ready to leave for Claud's place.

Visual pleasures.
6th October '09
Celebrated dad's birthday.
Went for a simple dinner at The Mussels Guys at Vivo.
I was never a fan of seafood and mussels but gave one a try that night.
Unfortunatley, it's still not my cup of tea.
Hahah.
But for those who adore mussels, it is worth a try perhaps.
The chilli ones are not that fantastic but the cheese baked ones are quite good.
We ordered two different types of mussels because they were having a promotion:
Free 20g with every 50g ordered.





14th October '09
Greek food!
Went for dinner with dani at the greek restaurant just behind the train station, 5 mins away from the office.
Ordered a 2-person platter, pita, rice and salad.
Had a variety of meat: Lamb, chicken, lots of pork and overflowing with onions.
Didn't managed to finish the food because the portion was humongous.
But I have to admit that the food was delicious.
Although the meal cost us a hefty S$90.
Sometimes I really wish food was was cheap and superb as they are in Singapore.





SMU
, 4:12 PM
Vegas Night.
Have a myraid of pictures to post.
Backdating from 2nd october 2009.
Evidence of my laziness in blogging.
Ya. I have to admit that there has been no consistency in my blogging these days.
Mainly because I have been travelling a fair bit and I feel damn unmotivated to blog about anything.
But as I clear out pictures from my bb,
I decided that perhaps I should just do a few quick posts and put up the pictures.

Then I ought to start from the earliest:

Vegas Night organised by SMU.
Attended it for the sake of my best friend.
But then, I have to say that it was quite an event.
Pretty successful.

So,
I played a few rounds of mahjong and won.
Bet in a muay thai match and won again.
Accumulated quite a number of chips to exchange for prizes.
Managed to get a X-mini speaker which is really quite good.
Ok, but I have to admit that I got the speakers based on the fact that my best friend was the organiser (because I didn't have enough chips to OFFICIALLY redeem for the speakers)
Then took a bunch of silly photos:




And that sums up this post.


I could swallow half the moon

Just to prove my love to you








Finally found my ideal snow boots!
Was pretty upset when I didn't get to buy the pair of Esprit boots but I guess I'm much happier with my current find.
Have been searching so long for a pair of functional yet trendy snow boots.
Considered Uggs, Adidas, NorthFace, Columbia... but I eventually settled for this pair of Snowjoggers from Rubber Duck brand.
Although Vincent says it's ugly but I really like it anyway.
Everyone's raving about it and i think it is:
1. Trendy enough
2. Sporty looking
3. Versatile
4. Practical & functional
Just ordered it online (thank you JJ).. waiting for it to be ship to me.
Ah, I'm getting all excited about it.

Secret desires

Ablazed.

I dreamt that I was really evil just 2 nights ago.

I met this girl.
Hated her.
So I walked up to her.
Slapper her.
Punched her.
Scolded her.
And pulled out a bunch of her hair.

I woke up feeling damn evil.
But found it incredibly amusing.

Poor girl.
If only you know who is she.

From one to one

Hearing him talk about his cat,
I heard the sadness in his voice.
I see the pain in his face.
And I actually felt it all within me.
I could feel his pain in me.
Hmmm

If a song could get me you

I'd do it rock and roll

Don't know if I should go.
I could think up of a million reasons why I should
But I don't know if it really makes any sense.
I don't want to go without any objectives.
Don't want to end up wasting my time over there.
Don't want to come back learning nothing.
Cause I know I tend to get distracted.
Yet at the same time,
I know this is a chance for me to test myself.
To gain more exposure and experience.
A chance for me to learn more about Automation systems.
And also another chance for me to spend time with dani.
But I don't want to screw up and I'm afraid I will.
Cause it'll mean incurring additional unnecessary expenses
Something totally uncalled for.
So.
I'm still contemplating.
It's so damn tempting.
