Am in LT11 now having HISTORY Lect. One word to describe it. Sianzation. and today's lecture is on the decolonization and the politics of nation building in Singapore and Malaya. The first slide showing a picture of david marshall is oredi enough to put me to sleep. ZzZZz... Shall leave lect during break time to help kenny out at the dim sum stall. Its Bizad's food fiesta fair this week you see. Lotsa food here. They have lotsa cakes, pastries and brownie from Cedele bakery. Ramly burgers, satays, tako pachi, sausages, prata and even smelly tofu!!! Gosh. The whole LT is gonna STINK man. And the food is all very cheap. Like you can get 5 har gaos from the dim sum stall for only $1.50. Think i shall steal some later. hehehe.

I did something really unbelievable yesterday. I think you'l say i'm crazy if i were to tell you but that's me, when i want something, i'l go all out to get it. Well, i queued for two hours to buy donuts from The Donut Factory at Raffles City.



Time seemed to pass pretty fast for me. In fact in dint even feel like 2 hours but my honey seems to think otherwise. hahaha. Poor thing.. Guess this is the longest time i've spent queueing up for something. The second longest was queueing for bak chor mee at crawford lane and botak jones western food at ang mo kio. Time clocked : 1 hour 10 mins. But thank God the donuts are worth the queue.



We bought 6 donuts in all. No point queueing up for 2 hours and walk off with only 1 donut each right? Clockwise from the picture : Double chocolate (+ chocolate filling), lotus mocha, hazelnut milk chocolate, white heart strawberry (+ strawberry filling), dark peanut chocolate and peanut butter glazed (+ peanut butter filling). The fillings inside the respective donuts practically explodes when u bite into them. I love the dbl chocolate and peanut butter glazed! The white choco coating on the dbl chocolate donut is really good too. Melts in ur mouth and sticks to ur teeth. Yum~ And what makes The Donut Factory stand out from other donut outlets like munchy donuts or dunkin' donuts? Well, their donuts here are really soft and fluffy and you get it fresh from the oven! Its a die die must try and if you happen to queue, dont forget to buy some for me k? hahaha








Brought our 6 donuts to starbucks. Needed a drink to go with our donuts and more importantly, a seat to rest our aching feet. Honey ordered their signature hot chocolate. Nice. But after eating 6 donuts, drinking the hot chocolate made me feel like puking. Guess i was suffering from donut chocolate overdose oredi. I felt really full after sharing the 6 donuts with my honey but that's only HIGH TEA. haha. Chilled out at the esplanade and walked around marina square till about 7pm before heading off to changi village for dinner.



The queue..spot me! haha


Told you im a big vermonster. Had to queue again for the popular nasi lemak but this is nothing compared to my 2 hour wait for donuts. I'm well trained oredi. haha. The nasi lemak is not bad. The fried chicken is nice and this is also the first time im eating sambal chili! In fact i quite like it, not very spicy and has a sweet taste to it. I love the ikan bilis too. Becoz the guy serving them gave very little ikan bilis (its so little u can count them. Really very miserable), we paid extra 50cents to add more ikan bilis. haha. The rice is what makes them so popular. It doesnt have a strong coconut taste (i hate coconut) and the rice grains are really fine and smooth. But according to my honey, he said the standard has dropped. Doesnt really affect me much la. As long as its edible, taste good and worth the wait, y not? Someday, i'l try the other stalls' nasi lemak to find out why this stall is so popular with singaporeans. Or izit maybe bcoz, like what the Sunday Times reported, "Singaporeans just wana be part of the majority", "kiasuism - dont wana miss out on anything."

Argh..i'm so hungry now.. but i had a big bowl of cereal in the morning, a cup of orange juice, yoghurt dessert, and i juz ate a ham and cheese sandwich. My grandma says i eat like a pregnant woman. i agree sometimes. But i cant help it, my stomach does its digestive job efficiently and hence, i get hungry easily. Imagine what happens if i accidentally ate an appetizer booster tablet. hurhurhur. Think you'l see a big fat pig the next morning.
