Whoots! Ended Year 3 with a bang. Haha. Never have I had 3 days consecutive papers. Very hectic and at the third day, my eyes were very droopy. -.- Haha. And the next day, I fell sick. Kind of deserved it, cause I didn't take a well-deserved rest as I promise myself that I would. But anyway, it healed up fast and I managed to clear the remaining 2 papers after that. And now, all I am left with is one more semester of studying and the last semester for my FYP.

Been looking at a lot of people from my batch. Many of them are graduating, those with 3 year programs, and that got me thinking. What do I want to do with my life? Been thinking whether research is a career choice for me. I have always liked working in a lab, playing with my cells. (Gosh, I sound like a nerd. LOL) But, I thought, research is definitely something very different than what I am doing now. I am still being supervised and have a great mentor. But when I really do start my PhD, I would definitely not have such a luxury. So its back to the drawing board while I plan on what job I really wish to pursue. Haha. I know I have one more year to think about my future career prospects, but it's never to late to plan early. =) Nevertheless, I am not going to think about it, just yet. Lol. Contradictory, I know. That's really how a girl's mind works. =X

Anyway back to my life. Lol. Sorry for sounding so self-centered. =X My exams ended one day earlier than my clique of friends. So I was busy playing DOTA and catching up on Vampire Diaries and some Taiwanese Drama called The Fierce Wife/犀利人妻. Both have excellent story plots, especially the latter. The next day, I headed to Marina Square, Pink Parlour to do my brows. And I also signed a package of 7 brow waxing treatment for 2 years. So, saved about $10 overall. Well, I have been there so many times already, and I only entrust my brows to one lady. LOL! And later, I met up with Holly for dinner and shopping. I did no shopping, but Holly did. Lol. Pardon my lack of intelligence of brands, I just found out that Aldo is kind of branded. /facepalm I know I know. Haha. All I want are good shoes that looks nice and last long and are not too expensive. I'm simple like that. Haha. =P Then again, I think my parents and bf are lucky that I'm not swayed by brands. Well, not yet anyway. LOL! Probably when I start working and have the right to spend more, then I will indulge myself in brands. Till then, I am a poor girl. D= HAHA.

Anyway, I won a pair of tickets to watch Avengers this coming Monday! So happy! First time I blogged about Avengers, and I was lucky enough to bag myself one pair of tickets! I managed to save my bf $$ too. Haha. Think he was slightly happy, though he is still busy about his FYP and stuff. Gonna take loads of pictures then. See whether I'll meet anyone I know on Monday. So excited! =) Anyway, Imma going back to play DOTA! Skywrath Mage! =D

Talk about a lack of action-packed hero-themed movies these days. And out came Marvel’s The Avengers. The first time I watched the trailer, I was like “Goodness, I HAVE to watch this!!” Though the next time I can step into a cinema again would be after my exams. But no matter, this movie will be out on 1st May, one day after my exams end. I’m definitely rushing down to watch this movie ASAP! Haha. Truly missing the part of watching movies in the comfort of a cushy cinema seat along with Popcorn and Nachos Cheese~ Indulgence! Sigh…

Anyway, for those who literally have no idea what The Avengers are all about, here’s a video of their Trailer!

If you have been missing out on a whole bunch of super heroes, here’s the chance to catch them in this movie. I was really shocked when Robert Downer Jr. appeared as Ironman in this movie. I went, “Eh, Ironman 3 ah?” HAHA!! So other than Ironman, there are other superheroes too! There are The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. So, a little synopsis about the movie… An unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. And other than Robert Downey Jr., other actors include Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston, with Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and of course, directed by Joss Whedon, from a story by Zak Penn and Joss Whedon with screenplay by Joss Whedon, This story is apparently adapted from a Marvel comic book series titled as “The Avengers”.

The special effects are very good! I expect wonderfully crafted scripts especially when I heard a bit from the trailer. Haha. Especially the part when Captain America asked Ironman on what he is without that orb in his chest. Hilarious!!! But it's not from this trailer, cause I have watched too many of the same trailers just to catch more snippets of this movie. =X

As you can read me ranting about Ironman and Robert Downer Jr., you can tell who is my favourite Avenger~ Haha. Maybe it is because I remembered him from Ironman and Ironman 2, so his character is what's so captivating for me to want to watch, quite like a mini-sequel. Besides Robert Downer Jr. is an excellent actor, and he is quite pleasing to eye, so to say. Hee. =P

So remember to catch this movie when it previews!! The Avengers, coming to Cinemas near you! =D

Catch Marvel’s The Avengers in cinemas this 1 May 2012 and like the Official Marvel's The Avengers Singapore Facebook Page and subscribe to Marvel Singapore YouTube Channel!

Celebrated Jun Wei and Quan Ming's birthday on the 17th March. Haha. Not too late for an update yet. Oops. Hee. Anyway, Da and I met Yi Xiang, Bao Wen and Kai Ling at Pasir Ris MRT where Yi Xiang drove us to Downtown East. On the way there, we saw Jun Wei and Quan Ming walking after they parked their car at the carpark. We headed to join them after Yi Xiang parked his car at the carpark opposite Downtown East. Can you believe it? At 7pm, the carpark at Downtown East was completely filled! Gosh. Probably cause it was a Saturday, and a lot of people were around that area as they had booked a chalet.

Headed to a Thai Restaurant called Basil Inn. It is a very small restaurant, and I really have no idea whether it is even considered a restaurant. Lol. =X Anyway, Bao Wen and Kai Ling have been there before so they ordered dishes for us. =) And the food there was actually very appetizing!! Didn't take a lot of food pictures cause everyone was too hungry and attacked the food at such a pace that I was too slow to get good shots. LOL!! =P

First up, was Beef Soup with Spinach. Quan Ming doesn't take beef so he didn't take the soup. The soup was very flavourful and the beef was very tender. =) Yummy!~

Pineapple Rice! And there was some added Pork Floss too! I <3 Pork Floss!! =D

I have no idea what this is called, but I think its some type of chicken wrapped in Pandan Leaves. The chicken was very succulent, and there wasn't a lot of bones present. Haha. Being a lazy person, I didn't really like meat with bones in them. Lol. =P

I think this was Pork. LOL. I kind of forgot, but this was very nice too! Hee.

Pad Thai!! Another Thai dish that I simply adore! The peanut bits really complemented the entire dish!!

The guys!

Us girls!~

After that, we headed over to the Cheesecake Cafe at Siglap for dessert. It's my first time going there! Actually photography of the decorations of the shop is prohibited but I didn't see the sign until I was done snapping a few photos of the shop. So, I'm not going to be posting any photos of the decorations of the shop, only those that have people in them. LOL! =X

Nice and delicious looking cakes! It's as if they are begging to be eaten. Lol! =P

I was rather amused by the ceiling. There were wine bottles up there. And I immediately thought of 高楼抛物! Lol.

Since there were 7 of us in total, we each had to buy something. Da and I ordered one cake and one latte. =)


Our cake had raisins in them. Quite a nice combination of chocolate and raisins. =) Hee. Our latte was really hot, almost scalded my tongue. =X

Other stuff ordered by the rest. =) Haha. Lighting wasn't very good, so some photos didn't turn out too good. =/

Us again!! =D Haha.

By the time we headed back, it was 12 midnight le. Ding-dong, the Cinderella (me) had to go home already. Haha. So we split up again, Yi Xiang fetched me home and later, fetched Da home. Haha. Gosh. I really want my own car. Haha. This shall be an unfulfilled wish till I hit the jackpot. Till then, public transport ftw~ Haha. SMRT, please don't die on Singaporeans in the upcoming future. LOL! =X

Headed over to Paradise Inn at NEX not too long ago, around the start of this month. Da's sister decided to treat us! So nice of her~ Haha. And because of that, I decided to buy her a birthday present on her birthday which was over a week ago~ Hee.

Anyway, dinner-ed with Da and his family. Felt so under-dressed in a quite classy restaurant until I saw how everyone was dressed too. Lol. =X Yupp, so Paradise Inn has a Chinese classics concept, with intricate details to their tableware and cutlery.

Also, we were given Boiled Peanuts as appetizers. If you do not wish to have them, you can tell the staff so and they will not charge the appetizers to your bill. =)

So on came the rest of the food~ We ordered a medley of meat and vegetables and soup. Didn't manage to capture a picture of the soup within the stylish pot, because the staff actually helped us to pour into 5(+1) bowls. So nice of them~ =) But no pretty pictures. Lol. =X

Steamed Minced Pork with Salted Fish & Water Chestnut

This was Da's sister's favourite dish. She immediately ordered this when she sat down. Haha. No points why she ordered this though. The minced meat is very juicy and tender. Along with the salted fish and water chestnut, this comes across as a very traditional dish that hasn't lost "its" touch. Yumyum~

Next up is my all-time favourite meat-dish! Sweet and Sour Pork!!


Ooh la la~ So chewy!! Simply love all sweet and sour pork dishes and this was no exception!! The onion and green capsicum was also very crispy. And if I was not wrong, there seems to be a type of fruit in there too, but I just could not put my finger on what it was. Lol!

Even though I hated that purple vegetable (eggplants), the way the eggplants were cooked didn't seem to turn me off. Haha. I even managed to eat 3 of those vegetables!! An achievement, well, for me that is. Haha. And Da was very proud of me! HAHA~

Last but not least,


Salted Egg Yolk Shrimps~ Ohgoly~ This is GOOOOOOD!! I was secretly quite depressed when there was only enough for one of us each. Haha. When I had a mouthful of the shrimp with the salted egg yolk, I just "floated". It was so heavenly~~ Sigh. I carn wait to have another bite and order this dish again when I go back!! Lol.

Ah, but all good food comes to an end, the bill wasn't too expensive either. It amounts to about $18 per person. But Da's sister was treating, so we kind of got a free meal! Hee. Anyway, we kind of repaid her the favour back by buying her Capitaland vouchers~ Haha.

Will update more about food! Haha~ There's still at least two more posts dedicated to people's birthdays, with many photos of food~ Till then!!

My uncle and his family from KL came over to stay during the CNY period. Did you know? The CNY holidays in Malaysia were about 1 week long!! I’m so envious! Lol. Anyway, there were 3 kids. The youngest little girl was so fun to make fun of. Yes yes, I know I’m an evil prat. Haha. =D But she kept wanting to come into my room and jumping on my bed. So must kajiao her more~

My Uncle and his family.

During the first day, my Mother’s side of the family will always gather at my Oldest Uncle’s house. Haha.
Took a photo with my cousin.

Quite a good haul this CNY. Haha. I also met Da’s father’s side of the family while he met my Mother’s side of the family. Quite a good “exchange”. Lol!

Anyway, will blog about other stuff when I upload more photos. So many long and overdue posts to talk about. Till then~ =)

This is a LONG OVERDUE entry!!! Lol. It's going to be an update for my birthday celebration and the CNY celebration. Heh. =D Anyway was real busy because of URECA and I finally handed up my edited poster just today. I can rest for a while for URECA, for now. Haha. But I will continue again probably on Thursday. Till then~ Lol.

Anyway, the week before my birthday, I went out with Miss Chew and gang to Ma Maison. My camera decided to run out of battery on me. So there are no good quality food photos. Bahh!!

Then, on 16th January itself. =) Da surprised me with a cake! I think this is the first time, out of the 3+ years we have been together, that he has ever surprised me. Lol. So I was totally not expecting anything.

I was so 感动 that I teared. LOL. So 姑娘. =X Anyway, it was quite a big piece of cake for 2 people. So we had a lighter lunch instead. When lessons ended for the day, I met up with Da and Mr Bao. And we decided to go to Seoul Garden at Farrer Park for buffet dinner. =D I haven't had a bite of Seoul Garden for 1+ year! Lol. I'm such a deprived kid. Haha. =P Anyway, I just kept ordering my favourite dish, Char Siew Chicken! Lol. =D

Headed back quite late that day. Lol. But it was worth it!! XD

Also had a birthday celebration with my NTU friends. They gave me my first official birthday present! Capitaland Vouchers! Shiok! Satisfies my shopping cravings. Bwahaha! =X Celebrated with another friend in the same clique too! =)

Will update about CNY later when I'm free. Been too busy these few weeks. Lol. =X

Whoots! I know I have retarded for a few days. But wishing everyone a happy 2012!! =D It's the year of the DRAGON!! =D Hee.

Been real busy these few days because of URECA and the URECA Club. In fact, I just came back from the URECA Club BBQ Night event in school just now. Heh. Feel so proud of myself cause I started two fires and maintained them all the way till the night! =D Haha. Small little achievements like this make me so high. Haha. I'm like a little girl in some ways. LOL. =X Anyway, I didn't take any photos cause I was too busy cooking for socialising. But I have to admit that even though there's only a small turn-out, it was still quite a success. And I get to eat alot of BBQ food. Hurhur. Hurray to my extended tummy. LOL. =X

Just a brief update in my life. Heh. Attended a wedding lunch last month. Lovely food. And I liked one of the gowns the bride was wearing. But anyway, here's the pictures of the lovely food~

The InterContinental Happy Honeymoon Combination Platter. Shiok! Haha. And yes, if you were wondering, the wedding was held at InterContinental Hotel, near Bugis MRT. =D

Next up, it's Braised Sharksfin with Fresh Crabmeat.

Poached Live Prawns served with Chilli and Scallion Soy Sauce. Oh, the prawns are VERY VERY fresh. One of the first times that I really don't mind plucking the prawn shells with my hands. I always disliked eating shelled or boned stuff(outside) because my hands get dirty. Bleah.

Crispy Roasted Chicken with Cracker.

Steamed Live Black Garoupa in Traditional Hong Kong Style. The fish is really very tender. =) I got seconds. Hee. =D

Aromatic Seafood Fried Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf. Don't let the looks of this dish turn you away, it's really very scrumptous! Haha. The rice is very fragrant and the meat is very chewy!!

Chilled Rock Melon Cream with Sago Pearl and Ice Cream! Ohhh~ Damn. This is the BEST!!! The rock melon cream is very milky, and the sago pearl is very chewy and the ice cream is oh-so-yummy!!~ I got at least three bowls of these. Good thing I was sitting with older folks. If I was sitting with children, I bet I won't even get second helpings for this. Haha. =P

Some other photos I snapped!

Anyway, that's the end of the wedding lunch. After looking at the wedding photos of the new couple, I kept thinking of myself in wedding dresses. Haha. But actually, I already know how I would look like. Haha. Here are some pictures. Comments? Haha. I look weird in some pictures. But you know, you will never until you try~ So push yourselves!!~ =D Anyway, some of the hair photos are damn chio~ XD

Will update again this weekend. Heh. Till then. Toodles!~ =D
