"Corn 1 to HQ, reporting in!"
Here's a shout out to my cornrade, Corn 2!
"Corn Salute!"
Thanks for the picture, Corn 2!
Don't pop now, all this crap will be over soon.. Hang in there, corn support!
On a side note, 6 weeks down! 14 more to go! I seriously hate doing MP.. Totally brain dead from writing the proposal..
Yesterday, we went to watch Max Payne at Plaza Singapura! Small gathering with Amanda, Isaac, Mark, Michelle and Ke Wee.. Gosh..miss them alot lol..
Well, we had an evening snack at some dim sum place located at B2 before the movie. Thanks to Mich and KW for coming earlier just cause I was retarded enough to read the clock wrongly and arrived at PS a whole hour earlier..
(Though I have a feeling that Mich only wanted to arrive earlier so she could eat -.- )
Movie was interesting..didnt do the game much justice but heck, its hollywood we are talking about. Luckily we stayed till after the credits to watch the 30sec preview of Max Payne 2. Next was a walk to The Cathay and a tour around the first floor before heading back to PS for dinner at Xin Wang Cafe. Wasted a few minutes going up and down on the escalator due to miscommunication LOL.. Apparently it wasnt the only miscommunication that night..we had another round of escalator merry-go-round at the carpark.. Well, ate alot of stuff at Xin Wang Cafe. No pictures though..silly Manda didnt press the store button after taking the pics. haha.. But, thank you all for the great evening!

Shit sky lol.. Alright, that was a bad pun.. Its Pu Tien...A resturant somewhere near Serangoon..They serve great food! The rice cakes are especially yummy! It was a dinner with relatives..well, there were only 10 of us.. The main purpose was to bring my maternal grandma out for a dinner. My cousin, being a spontaneous organizer, put together the outing and the rest of us cooperated to make it work. I hope my grandma enjoyed herself..it must really suck to be stuck in the same house with two ungratful grandchildren..(Its not me! I swear!)
Here's a lowdown on the gastronomic experience..
Cant remember what is this..but it tastes good!
Lychee Sweet Sour Pork and Three Egg Spinach
This is the famous Rice Cakes. I couldnt resist and ate some of it before remembering to taje a picture..
Claypot..Sea cucumber, mushrooms and brocoili..(First time that sea cucumber doesnt taste slimy..)
Fried mantous with the pork and onion filling. (If only there's curry crab...)
Sweet and Sour (or is it Spicy?) Fish. (And that's my aunt! =) )
The more than half eaten Deep fried Duck with Yam. (By the time it came round to me, thats all thats left T_T )
And for dessert, Ice Cream with Pumpkin Paste. This one is utterly sumptious..
Well, all in all, it was an enjoyable day with relatives..(A first LOL)
5 weeks down..15 more to go.. We are 1/4 through with SIP! WHEEEEEE! Well, I finally got my MP title on the 9th of October. And synopsis was dued on the 10th. Being such a genius, I churned out a 242 word synopsis in less than 24hrs. Dr Dan (The vet incharge) only edited one little fact and send me on my way to submit. WOOTS! I amaze myself sometimes. (Okay, most of the time =P )
Jomer is stressed out. He is so lame. He actually replied my email saying that he is saddened that I did not burn the lab down...
Went to Rouge Outdoors Cafe yesterday.. Their portion of wedges is HUGE. Think 4 potatoes...The wings were not as crispy or tasty as No.5 but it will do.. No.5 was completely packed that night.. T_T (I want my martini!)
Fuzzy Navel (Their drinks have weird names..) This one is orange juice with absolute..
Watermelon Martini (I didnt order this...)
Cosmopolitian (This one is nice!)
The drinks werent too bad..not as nice as No.5..the food was pretty good too.. Their garlic bread is organic lol..And the price..Major Ouch. $98+ for two..yikes..
Cheerios

Its been a month since. 1 month in STC..thats 4 weeks..or 20 working days.. Hmm..feels much longer though..Or perhaps its the sense of familarity..Work has been kind..very few samples. On good days, we get 9, on bad days only 1. Oh well..that leaves me with more time to read yahoo news and listen to the radio if I'm done reading the operator's manual (which I'm usually done within a few hours). Talk about extreme boredom..even this post sounds draggy.
Allow me to introduce, Bella. She's a stable cat who belongs to one of the trainers, David Hill's daughter. The stable is pretty close to the lab but strangely, Bella always comes by every morning for food..
Well, I learnt a painful lesson..doesnt mean that a cat rolls onto its back does it mean you can touch its belly.. Bella scratch me slightly and still gave me a high paw..Fortunately, no harm done LOL. She was just playing with me.
Nice canopy eh..This is the road leading to the lab. Further ahead are some of the trainers' stables.
Blk 30 lab. See how isolated it is...
To think that I'll be alone in the building for 2 weeks while my supervisor goes on her honeymmoon..I hope there will be another intern. Muhahaha.
Well, I was born on this date 19 years ago. Feels much longer than that.
P.S.: Only well wishes in cash are accepted. =D
Went out again with Mally..Wanted to torture her and make her watch movies 4 nights in a row..but she thwarted my plan T_T We had ice cream at Takashimaya, she had her seasalt and caramel hokkaido ice cream while I bought from belgium chocolate and cookies 'n' cream from the other ice cream store. Strangely, belgium choc and cookies 'n' cream taste better when they are mixed..Walked to Far East where I bought my hair wax and we wandered around looking at clothes and shoes. There's this shirt there which is really nice.. (ARGH!) Walked back to Taka for dinner around 7pm @ Aji Tei located at the basement.
Spinich cream and bacon omelette rice
Mally and her scallope ramen (so unglam =D)
Mango Kakibure (at least I think its kakibure..)
Then its off to No.5 for drinks and wedges! Crazy Mally still wanted to eat wings there..Thankfully, we were both too full..
The drinks menu...
Peach martini
Wedges
Long Island Ice Tea (This one is way stronger than the martinis...)
Cam whoring..
Finally the empty glass..(1.5hrs and a pool game later..)
Not to forget, the peanuts!
Interior.
Amazingly, we managed to take public transport home after alcohol intoxication.. The Long Island Ice Tea smells suspiciously like 70% ethanol to me.. I still cant believe I managed to finish it.. >.< they werent kidding when they said their Long Island is really strong.. Lots of eye candy that night..What with the F1 race, the area was swarming with tourists..(some are smokin' hot..)At least there's a cute bartender..two actually, one male and one female..The female bartender kinda gave us a death stare LOL..How sad..Nevertheless, no frets! I took Mally's first time! (First time pubbing..not whatever weird thoughts you are having then..) I'm surprise she managed to finish a glass of the peach martini..and 3/4 of the basket of wedges -.- (I expected it..I only looked away for a few minutes and when I turned back, half of the wedges were GONE!) Great night, good food, good drinks and to round it off, lots to see. =D

Wonder how it feels to leap off a building.. Perhaps if its high enough, still might be able to feel the wind rushing against your face, stinging your eyes and whistling in your ears before the unavoidable splat on the concrete pavement.
Not that I'm feeling suicidal of course. I refuse to die before I meet her. But I was just wondering still.. This was what I came upon as I was walking along the void deck after work..
Suicidal Teddy.
Poor bugger. Wonder who pushed him off the ledge..It must have been painful..
Unnatural death..At least its better than getting its stuffing pulled out and strewn all over..
On a lighter note, 3 weeks down! WOOTS! That leaves with 17 weeks to go.. Another 85 more days at work..I'm rotting at STC.. Take my advice, buggies are not build for wet weather. It really doesn't help that Kranji sees quite a number of rainy days..
Went to No.5 yesterday with my cousin and sis. In case y'all are wondering, its a pub! Great ambiance, wonderful finger food (a real gastronomic treat!) and even better alcohol! Plus, they serve peanuts and encourage you to dump the shells on the ground. It seriously feels good to stomp on the discarded shells and hearing the satisfying crunch. Not to forget, the unwanted shells make for good ammo in the peanut shell war.
The bowl of peanuts. (They taste good. Wonder which brand..)
Round 1 of drinks: (I apologize for the poor picture quality..too dim..)
Cant remember the name.. but its orange juice champange
Lemon Vodka
Also ordered a cranberry vodka..but the picture is way too dark..
Finger food:
Salami Pizza! (Yum!)
Chicken wings (This one is really brilliant! Double yum!)
Soft shell crab (drools)
Round 2 of drinks:
Lychee Martinis
Peach Martinis
And rounding it off with some fabulous wedges!
Good thing is that after 9pm, the martinis are one for one~ Which means, more to drink!
This is roughly what the interior looks like.
The exterior.
The bar.
Thanks cuzzie for dinner and drinks!

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who's my best friend, you ask?
me! me, me and me!
Well, I like this song..not because I'm in love with my bestfriend..
(well, yea, I am I guess..I'm in love with myself =D )
This song is for her.
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
