A Trip to the East 《东游记》

“Dinner tomorrow?”
“Steady! Where?”
“Bedok”
“SO FAR!”
“I’ll pick you up at Redhill lah”
“Ok steady!”

6pm. Redhill MRT.
6.10pm. Tanjong Pagar to pick budz up.

6.50pm. Bedok e.BlackBoard! Serves western food. Check out the menu below.

e.BlackBoard menu pg1

e.BlackBoard menu pg2

7.30pm. Food arrived. Yummy! Looking at the serving (er I didn’t take any photos with my camera as it was too dark, and my camera is still at Turkey). This was what we had:

e.BlackBoard receipt

3 people having western food at a coffeeshop at a total cost of $38! Sounds freaking expensive but trust me, the food is FANTASTIC! Restaurant food at coffeeshop price! The serving for their Pork Ribs is HUGE. xDD

8pm. Feeling VERY full. Deciding on next destination.

Tah dah! This was where we went!

Can’t see clearly? LoL.. Pretty obvious eh? Here’s another obvious hint!

Yes yes this was where we went!

Wahahah! Since we went ECP the previous time, we decided to check out Changi Airport this time! Walked around T1 Arrival & Departure halls, then to T2. I’d always loved going to the airport, it’s such a good destress-ing place for me xD Seeing the anxious family members waiting for their loved ones to exit the gate, seeing other family members sending their loved ones overseas.. It’s just so窝心 =) If not for the fact that the airport is at the other end of the island, and that it takes me a good 1.5hrs to reach by public transport, I’d have visit the place much more frequently.

Still feeling full, the 2 guys decided to have dessert @ Swensons. Long queue! LoL! Ended up having sundae pies @ Burger King. hahha!

Back home at 11.30pm, still feeling very full, I had soup and supper waiting for me! Supper was a packet of DURIAN!!! *blurps* I’ve yet touched it, ‘coz I’m still feeling so full now! =X

It’s time to do something

MY laptop went weird. Suddenly my firefox bookmarks/preferences gone. My msn’s display pic got changed back to the previous DP i was using. Strange.

Gotta find all those bookmarks again. all gone!! =(

It’s time to format laptop. haiz.

Sweet Chicken Porridge!

Finally joined my SCE khakis for supper. LoL! Sweet Chicken Porridge @ Balestier! *blurps* Thankful that the pot with the least spiciness was reserved for me. hahaha! Else I think my stomach’s gonna complain!

Nice food, nice company. Enjoyable due to the amount of jokes cracked, the bai-kah joke that Fen, her bro & me said the exact same statement in unison. Hahah! Freaking lame siah!

Fen: “Oh my house there got 鲨鱼粥 (sha1 yu2 zhou1) , Sharks’ fin porridge”
KS: “鲨鱼粥?”
Fen: “Ya!”
Phee: “but it’s normal fish mah”
Fen, her bro, me: “ya lah! 杀-鱼-粥 mah! ” (same prononciation, but means kill-fish-porridge)

*laughs out loud* Really bai-kah joke!

2 more!

I’m tired. Physically tired. Having headache from lack of sleep. *yawnz*

Prob I should sleep soon.

Thoughts

A relief taxi driver got into an accident at night. The next morning, police loitered around the taxi, hoping to bring the taxi driver back to the station for investigations. And the taxi owner Uncle Y couldn’t work ‘coz the taxi was held back by the police. Which means no income for the cabby till the taxi is released by the police. Imagine if you’re the owner of the taxi, and saw police waiting by ur taxi that was parked below your HDB flat. =| But still, no one knows what exactly happened between the hospitalised driver and the relief cabby, friends of each will definitely side by their friend/relative. Who’s right, who’s wrong, the judge decide? Much as I dun understand this logic behind, I still hope the patient gets out of consciousness and let the cabby owner be back on the road. Uncle Y is the innocent one =| I’ve no updates frm Uncle Y whether he’s back on the road or not, but I seriously hope the patient gets well soon.

Funerals.. the 6th one within 6 weeks. Seems like it’s the season? Especially with Qing Ming last weekend. And I’m still haunted by the thoughts of life after death. Probably not as scary as the last time, but the fear is still there =(

Feeling hot, tired and hungry. The weather seems funny recently.

The Long Bus Trip

Waited quite sometime for bus 183 @ Science Park II, it being an almost-half-hourly bus service which loops at Science Park II. Clouds gathering up high in the sky.

3pm. Bus came. Waited a while while the bus driver went down to check the bus. Moved off, and it started to rain at the next junction. Rain gets heavier.

Reached Clementi MRT station. HEAVY rain.

Next stop: Nan Hua Primary School. Alighted. huh? huh? where’s the rain? The ground was dry!

3.20pm. Bus 173 came. Decided to check out the bus route to Bt Batok. Drizzled.

Bus turned. Reached PIE.  Bus turned in to Toh Tuck! OMG! Isn’t that the route to Bt Timah??

5 mins. Turning around Toh Tuck.

10 mins. Still at Toh Tuck. OMG what’s the bus doing so long at Toh Tuck? I want to go Bt Batok!

20 mins. Bt Timah market. oO Almost alighted and changed bus home.

Thought the bus will turn at Hillview. It turned at Hume Park! New road explored!

Then it went to the turn-a-bout at Hillview. Looped.

Turned in to the semi-detached houses opposite Lam Soon Building. Another 5 mins gone.

Turned to the same main road and continued.

Thought it’ll turn at the condo at the junction and go straight to interchange. wrong. lol.

Turned at next junction (Blk 265) instead. Great. Saw Aunt Elsie and grandma board the bus! And they didn’t see me until I gave Aunt Elsie a call. ><

It didn’t turn at Keming Pri as expected. Gosh another new area explored.

The route after that was expected.

By the time I reached interchange, it was 4.10pm.

50mins from the PIE to interchange!!

It could have taken me just 15mins if I’d taken bus 106 instead of 173.

Long journey indeed.

Busy?

Despite the flu, I popped down the hospital after rushing my assignment. My dear budz got hospitalized after an insect bite, and had to undergo a minor surgery on that. It just sounds so scary when he narrates the situation in the surgery room ><

Anyhow, get well soon bro!

And I’m feeling damn sick lah! The sneeze that doesn’t want to come, made me tear so many times! How am I going to survive through tomorrow’s interview?

Did retail shopping during lunch. Popped down to BPP and bought for myself Shirlyn‘s album. She’s part of The UnXpected band that plays at Wala every Thur/Sat. Kind-of like the album, despite me not being an English song lover, not to mention Rock songs. =) I like the 4th song, SNOW. Haven’t had the time to look through the lyrics, but the music sounds soothing to my ears =) Go get the album if you like Shirlyn.

Matchbox 20 – Push

Another song recommendation!

She said I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved
By hand that’s touched me, well I feel like something’s gonna give
And I’m a little bit angry, well

This ain’t over, no not here, not while I still need you around
You don’t owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Well I will

She said I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don’t know why you couldn’t just stay with me
You couldn’t stand to be near me
When my face don’t seem to want to shine
‘cuz It’s a little bit dirty well

Don’t just stand there, say nice things to me
I’ve been cheated I’ve been wronged you,
And you don’t know me, I can’t change
I won’t do anything at all

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Oh but don’t bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so crazy, crazy
Don’t rush this baby, don’t rush this Baby, baby

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you, yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, Yeah, yeah, push you around,
I’ll drag you down, I wanna push you around
Well I will

Augustana – Boston

Some songs that Ansley recommended. Posting the videos here to remind me to get the songs in case it slips my mind.

Augustana – Boston

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun…
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must’ve crossed… you said…

You don’t know me, you don’t even care, oh yeah,
You said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you… they’re not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said…

You don’t know me, you don’t even care, oh yeah,
You said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah,

She said I think I’ll go to Boston…
I think I’ll start a new life,
I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I’ll get out of California, I’m tired of the weather,
I think I’ll get a lover and fly em out to Spain…
I think I’ll go to Boston,
I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind…
I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset,
I hear it’s nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice… oh yeah,

Boston… where no one knows my name… yeah
Where no one knows my name…
Where no one knows my name…
Yeah Boston…
Where no one knows my name.
