Time flies when im in NUS. Time flies even faster when i spend time with my honey. One moment its tuesday and before you know it, its the end of the week and i have to go back HOME. BOO!
I've finally bought my textbooks. Just yesterday, i bought my management science text from the NUS forum at only 18 bucks! Bought my FNA, statistics and econs text from Alfeus at $60.10. Wanted to bargain somemore but 20 bucks for 1 text book is oredi damn cheap, considering the outside price to be 40 bucks? Skipped my nation building history lect to buy alfeus lunch as i made him wake up early to pass me the books by 12pm. heehee. But he rejected my treat and ended up buying me a drink instead. haha. After which, went to meet Jason at bedok to collect my driving booklet.
Attended my first tutorial of the semester on tues. It was held in a conference room located in some ulu part of biz fac. But i like it. If only all my tutorials are held in conference rooms and not seminar rooms. They kinda have an SMU teaching style "feel". Management sci tutorial was uber boring. But at least i have friends like Sutris, Jill and Suyi attending it with me. After tutorials, went to meet my honey for lunch! Honey specially went to katong mall in the morning to buy me the banana pie from the dona manis shop.

Its very nice! The crust is really very very nice and the bananas can make u go bananas over it. Its like eating goreng pisang. Kinda reminds me of BNJ's banana crumble but of course this is much nicer. Honey also went to raffles city in the morning to buy doughnuts from The Doughnut Factory.

But they only open at 12.30pm and even before they open, people were already queueing up to leave orders with the store. Amazing. Ate lunch at Amoy St again. This time i had my hakka Yong Tau Foo with zhu chang fen! Had durian ondeh ondeh also. Then went back to school for my most dreaded lecture. FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING. Cant believe that such a boring person like prof mak acty exist. Argh. and guess wad i had for dinner? Tissue Prata and cheese do sai from Little India. Went to mustafa after my driving lesson and yes, i got to drive on the main road. Its damn fun. =D
Woke up very early on wed morning for FNA tutorial. Dint meet any of my frenz at all but made a few friends here and there. Formed a project group with these 2 guys and one of them is very smart and has some accounting backgrd knowledge. Its both good and bad. Good becoz the presentation and project will be a breeze but bad coz i will look damn stupid and pathetic in the presence of an FNA genius like him. Honey came to school to meet me after that. It was M'sia outing day! haha. Ate like a vermonster. Had fish and chips ofr lunch. One slice of Chocolate Indulgence cake, White Chocolate Macadamia cake and an oreo cheese cake. All from Secret Recipe. Its very cheap! One slice costs only RM$5.50 which is only SGD$2.50! In sg u pay like $4.50-5.50 for 1 slice of cake. Think next time i'l buy back 1 whole cake. Cost only SGD$30 after conversion. Where to find such a good deal?
Reached Sg at 4pm. Napped for 3 hours before going out for dinner. Had Syed Alwi Hakka YTF and Satay! Nice Nice. Gonna try their wanton mee and pork ribs mee sometime soon.
Had my econs tutorial today. Tutor is some cheena lady who really cant teach for nuts. She's like talking to herself and she can spend 10 mins on one simple question! Doing the MCQs made me think back about the times when i was having econs tutorial with Ms Sarah Ee. I think she's a really good teacher, but scary though. haha. After tutorials, went to amoy st for lunch again. This time i had wanton mee from a stall next to the ondeh ondeh stall. It was recommended by some food critic from some food webby somewhere. haha. Long queue but its really worth the wait. For 3 bucks you get one big bowl of wanton soup with 10 wantons inside and a plate of noodles with fried wanton and lots and lots and lots of charsiew! The char siew is not thinly sliced like those typical ones served in coffee shops, in fact, she chops them on the spot and gives you chunks of it. As there were no more fried wantons left, she replaced them with fried fish instead. Nice too! The taste is great, the serving just right, and she's generous with the ingredients. As Carls' Jr says it, "SCREW THE DIET!" What more are you waiting for? Go check it out at amoy street now!
