mon samedi~!!

Been talking about losing steam since earlier this year...
But oh well, I just started my French 2nd semester for this year...hehe.

Peer pressure.. haha, it's nice learning with a bunch of people whom you have known for the past 6 months at least...I've known Eric since May last year!!

L'annee dernier, j'ai pris le cours de francais parce que j'ai eu le temps...
Maintenant...je prend le cours parce que mes amis??

=========
Went to check out the new restaurant/pub at Pasir Ris Park..the area which used to be Fishermen's Village..
Well, not entirely new...think it's been there for a few months but not many people know about it.
There's two restaurant/pubs there. One's called Summer Breeze...this one is more casual & cheaper I think...

We went to the other...looks more atas..and of cos, prices are correspondingly more atas haha..
2 Earl Grey's and a plate of onion rings mixed with chix nuggets & fish nuggets cost us about $20-odd....
Watched the 2nd half of the FA Cup match between Man U Vs Portsmouth there....
Woohoo!! Man U lost and is out of the semis...hiakzzzzz ;p

=========
Went to Vera's housewarming just now at Chai Chee...nice little space..3-room but very well-ventilated...8th storey and unblocked view...woohoo...

Ate a little...chatted alot with her, Weiqi, PQ & Weihao..
Damn funny listening to her stories about her inflight experiences...And damn funny listening to Weihao's "Customs" duty stories...

Did you know..technically for locals coming back to Singapore after a trip...if you're carrying goods/items valued at more than $300, you're supposed to declare them? And subsequently, you need to pay 7% GST on those items??

I have been travelling for quite a number of times since 2006....and quite frankly, I didn't even know there was this "rule" in place...But of cos, it's not a hard & fast rule...heard that Terminal 1 is stricter than T2 or T3..hmm mm...

=========
Went to ICB with Kym & XL yesterday....Dan & YL joined us much later...
This quarter, the 1 for 1 promo is for TuBorg, Carlsberg & San Miguel (not the light one)...
Itchy backside, had 3 bottles of Carlsberg...and lots of pizza and chix wings...Not alot of booze...but for a non-frequent drinker...perhaps enough to cause some "damage"..haha

Woke with a headache this morning...one killer which lasted till 7pm in the evening...only subsided after 2 doses of panadol...

=========
Oh, Suntec was a big big mass of congestion yesterday. Cars stuck on roads, pedestrians weaving here and there...people carrying boxes, people pushing trams...wah lau...mad house.
Even City Hall MRT was bloody packed..

The IT Fair has definitely caused a frenzy man..
For those who are going...level 3, 4 & 6...have fun squeezing!!!

=========
And cos of the IT Fair, by lunchtime yesterday, all carparks in Suntec were full...
Needless to say, all, if not most of the eating places were packed to the brim with long queues snaking out from the eateries...

And so, the bunch of us...about 6 pax...trudged out all the way to Liang Seah Street to have our lunch.. haha...
It was a zi-char place...along Tan Quee Lan Street. Think it was called "Xin Liang Ji".
Zi-char stall but almost 90% of the pax in there ordered its fish noodles...Apparently quite popular & tasty..came highly recommended byt he rest...so in the end, all of us took the fish noodles...

Some took fried fish with milky soup with noodles, some took fresh fish slice with milky soup with noodles, some took a mix of fresh fish slice & fried fish soup with rice...
But the overall comment was the same...SHIOK AH!! haha...

Go try if you have not before...They also have fish soup with XO...hmm mm...but think that one costs close to $8 a bowl...

=========
Ok, going to do my homework before I head to bed...
Tata...=)
