Pick my two bears up before we went for lunch at telok ayer food centre. Ate the "loh mee" which is not so great, i feel. We met ah foong kor too! He is our class "lao jiao" student. With a "nvr too old to learn" attitude. He maybe senior, but he is sure young at heart. Some more mixing with us this batch of "zhang bu da" guys around. He sure must have got younger by tens or twenties. lol. Later we had "oyster pancake, onde onde, tapioca cake" while big bear got two "or ni" as recommended by ah foong kor. The oyster cake was not really nice. Seems that the oyster was a bit bad. After a few bite. Actually i ate one of them before giving it up. lol "tham jiat". Told the auntie there. Actually i wasnt asking for anything la, jus wanna her to check the oysters before they cook them. Maybe the oyster keep to long liao. But surprisingly, the auntie walked up to us n gave us a refund for the oyster cake. Nice lady. Told us how she carfully pick the oyster n how the AVA control the sale of oysters in singapore. Looks pretty much well controlled. She mentioned how she carefully picked out the yellow ones which could be bad. She admit there are times that they over look and apologise to us.
Walk over to the meeting place. In the end, a few of them didnt turn out. End up only foong kor's family and us n another guy that jus finish his navy course joined us. The professor was one from the chemical department. He gave us a few guides about studying in UK. Seems tat its the same as expected. U need at least 50k to study there for a year. N that is with minimun expenses. Seems that i will not be able to raise up such a amount by sept. N i have lotsa commitments at year end. Weddings n such. Though these are not important as my career. But i jus dun feel prepared to go. Esp if i have to go alone. Dun think there are people around willing to pay such a amount to go there n study. Some more big bear will want to want for xiaomei to complete her adv dip n go together with her. Its a tough decision... (to be carried on thinking...)
After this we went to see xiaomei dressed up like princess. :) Well, i should say, ladys nvr fail to look nice in a gown. Even though she didnt have make up. "Beauty comes with simplicity" Well.... she jus look too beautful in it. Here's a sneak preview on how pretty she is *premission granted by her one :), dun worry, there is another more beautiful one which is kept only for those invited to the dinner hor. lol.
After tat we went to the marina square. Before that we dropped by Tom's palatte to catch some icecream n park my car. I would say, Tom really have unique style of making ice cream. He whips out mixture of vanilla, baileys and brownie n named it Justino. I feel its a nice blend, since i like milky ice cream the most, The brownies are soaked in the baileys, so when u eat them, u feel the taste of the liquer. N the whole taste jus light enough, yet u still can taste the baileys in it. Not like some rum n raisins that jus taste like raisins... I had oreo cheesecake n apple pie. I got apple pie coz the previous time i use to like the apple pie icecream from kings. But they are hard to find now. One thing bout the ice cream, They seems to melt super fast. Based on the theroy by big bear, coz they are natural flavours. So they tends to melts fast. For me, i jus think. 'They melts fast, so u better finish them fast!' lol
Music n lyrics at marina square. We were super early. 30 mins before the event starts. Seems tat the billy bombers staffs were there to make sure the event goes smoothly. Got a few freebies, or rather we paiod for them - as said by xiaomei. $20 bucks for the show n "freebies" loh. Its a pack of three badges and posters n a nice file. They serve us huge sausages, at least 20cm long, together with whipped potatos with nice herb sauce and fried egg. But the taste in whole was so so only. We walked out after the live band starts. Coz its pretty sianz sitting there listen to them. We decided to play some pool. But today i played the lousiet pool of my life. *Though i was nvr good. lol Almost "no face" infront of xiaomei. But she managed to drown me in water "she fang lotsa *shui until i was apparently swimming. lol. But seems that i can swim better n eventually win her. hahahaha *evil Grinz. Did i said there was a live band???
About the show, i think its a pretty nice love story. With wonderful songs. Its pretty catchy. *repeatedly playing on my com now. "all i wanna do now is find a way back into love... i cant make it thru w/o a way back into love..." Sweet ending too. One of which will pleased the crowd.
Quick drink at carl's junior. Xiaomei is getting hungry. So we fed her with ... cant rem the name. but its fries with beef sauce on top. Nice n hot, with lotsa beef. We got zuchinni too. One of my favorites coz its seems healthy as u r eating vege, yet its nice. :) Lotsa mixture of drinks. Grape, zappel, coke, sprite, lemon tea, diet coke. Name em all n we have mix them all. Current best mix is "50% grape 30% diet coke n 20% sprite"
Look at xiao mei happily putting a BIG serving of fries into her mouth. lol
Alas, we have to part. big bear drove me back to shaw house to pick up my car. Kinda unbearable to part coz really had a enjoyable time together. T_T
Stupid building got their doors locked! i have to walk up the slope before i can reach the car. Long walk, but jus enough to kill the calories in my tummy. Left the building n realised big bear n xiao mei still waiting for me along the road. Got a heart warming "fei wen" by big bear too. Making me blush at the spot n speechless. lol.
That my long long day i yesterday. Saturday 17 march 2007.
