Long time no blog

Phew, being back at school is great. Just goes to show you really need to do something to benchmark your school experience against, be it army, working (anything but holidaying), to show just how good the life is as a student.

Anyway, FOOD!

There's only one picture of food here, but I'll be damned if it ain't one of my favourites.

MUDPIE FROM ISLAND CREAMERY!!!

Totally rocked my socks. They also have strange flavoured ice-cream, the strangest of which must be the tiger beer flavoured one.I had the apple pie-flavoured ice cream and it was really good.

The sign above the counter says their ice cream is made fresh daily and it really shows. The best part really is the texture of the ice cream. It's fluffy and moist and combines real apple pie, not those bs bits you get in even haagen daaz or bnj for that matter. Of course it isn't as rich as haagen daaz but they more than make up for it with their fresh ingredients. If there was one thing that didn't really work for me, it was the slightly over-cinnamonned taste of the apple pie ice cream, but hey, you cant have everything.

So if you wanna try it out, it's at Serene Centre.

Yeah, anyway, check out this absolutely cool vespa!!


Does it not scream BEN AND JERRY'S???


Becky and Xiaofen liked it so much they decided to get themselves in the photo.

Wah, the other nite as I was going home on the bus, I saw this:


Weird guy watching DVDs on a portable DVD player.

WTH!!

It's ok if it's like a movie or something, but this chap was watching KARAOKES. Tamade.

So I figured he's some cheena guy who can't get enough of Jolin Tsai but NOOOO.... he decides to switch dvds to...

FIFTY-CENT!

Damn funny lah, he was bopping his head to "candyshop". One minute Jolin, the next 50-cent.

And the last thought of the day:


Super crappy parody of Harry, nothing is sacred in this entire range of parodies.

Later guys.

Last friday was the last day at BM and they had a farewell party for me!! I wasn't really expecting anything so it was nice how Pat surprised me with an Adidas voucher (which will go towards a new pair of shoes - Thanks guys). It then hit me why she asked me out of the blue if I preferred Nike to Adidas -.-

Too bad I didn't have a camera on hand (since i wansn't expecting a party) or I wouldv'e been better able to capture the my last day there, at least for the next 5 months. Even though you got the feeling that it's something they do for every person leaving the company, it was kinda nice how they bother to have a celebration at all.

I guess I'll miss the folks there for their intelligent sense of humour, easy-to-get-along-type personalities and, well, their widely-read knowledge of obscure facts brought about by reading 14 newspapers every morning of every day.

So, thanks guys. You could've made it hard, but you didn't. Like Krishna says to Lathi before enlisting in Michael Chiang's 1998 play Army Daze, "This is not goodbye, it is merely a farewell..."

(I didn't get it either)
