passionfruit cheesecake for the ho family, to show gratitude for bringing me on the thailand trip. i have NO idea how it tastes, but it looks good doesnt it? the seeds look a bit scary tho >_>

I've Been Indiafied

Let me first say that India felt like a completely different world to me. no words or pictures can really ever describe any of the experiences and sights found there. YOU have to be there to see it and feel it for yourself to really indulge in the experience. the people, the food, the architecture, the diversity, the intensity, the smell, the interaction, the contrast... nothing can be accounted for for words.

except diarrhea.

that just hurt like crap.

i indulged on everything served to our table to the max on day 1 cuz everything was so new and deliciouciouso so i practically ate everything. favourite dishes (throughout the 11 days) were
- spinach soup

- sandesh (indian confectionary that melts in your mouth- made of only milk and sugar)

- barbequed cottage cheese (texture is like tofu)

- REAL biryani (yes it's spelt this way, and the meat is actually cooked together with the rice to give the rice more intense flavour. it works.)

- tibetan beef dumplings (eaten at a tibetan refugee area where my teacher used to hang out in. he's tibetan just fyi)

- TATA tea (this company makes almost everything and anything in india. and they make exceptionally good tea bags which i failed to bring home. darn.)

as the days passed my appetite plummeted. it was like eating a wedding banquet for every meal cuz every restaurant wants to serve the best food, which in the end turns out to be the same dishes every time. and, also because i developed diarrhea, then constipation, then fever, then diarrhea again. talk about a vicious cycle mahn. my tummy got on board a rollercoaster ride.

really loved the people and the weather the most there.

the people there are waaaaay friendlier than singapore. you have random people saying hi to you on the streets. aim a camera in their direction and they'd smile at you readily or even strike a pose. there were these young boys on a school bus that tried showing off their muscles while the girls wavred frantically about. they seem to enjoy attention from tourists alot >_> and somehow i see 80% more men than women on the streets.

it was winter when we got there. so weather was dry and chilly, felt so refreshing. tho i now have cracked lips, dry skin and frizzy hair.

oh yes, before i forget, CURSE YOU LJH!!! CURSE YOU!!!

-ahem-, moving on,

some unforgettable experiences included lectures from the professors there at Jawaharlal Nehru University. it was highly enlightening, and gave me an eye opener to india's world. also, the elephant ride up amber palace (our ellie was called GORI:D and i had diarhhea during the ride. thank you Gori for transporting my shit up to the palace), taking in sights of all the historical monuments- their beautiful architecture, getting lost (>_> it was scary) watching a snake charmer perform, then having the cobra wrapped round my neck, eating sikh offerings, watching others puke out their offerings, finding peace in the lotus temple, shopping and bargaining like crazy, playing with the indian kids... so much that we did i cant possibly put it all here.

there was also all the stupid antics our group would do in the bus like breaking a banana and creating a "you belong with me" music video...

"Wangyal Sze eat wheeleh oh whee"
"xiao bok i love your hang hang"
"ding dao dao"
"ji, nen, saa"

[inside jokes, dont bother trying to figure out]

i had fun:)

BeeDee BeeDee Bum

summary of the week's events:

• ice cream at The Daily Scoop
• P.W. presentation
• chillin at nooks
• 2 outings with ChoonYan: Macs and PSP shopping
• got new specs
• cotton on shades
  
• cactus gifts
  
• typhoid jab
• re-enactment of first date with phil
  
• variations of curry chicken rice x 3
• hangout at jas'
• imitation of Saybon's mushroom&cheese crepe

first off, presentation was really really good. and we're glad it's over 8) all of us finished within the time limit AND our Q&A was pretty much well done! stupid assessors purposely gave me and meijuan questions on each other's parts tho _l_ T__T _l_

prior to the presentation day our PW group had I&R consultation with pauly leongy while he treated us to icecream at the daily scoop at holland v ^^. avocado, simply chocolate and salty mr. brown (TRY IT) were our flavours of choice for that day, all of which were *smacks lips* superb. MANY thanks mr leong and mr hendri for everything you've done for our PW:), for putting up with so much of our nonsense and work. haha.

yesterday (a very delayed anni date), we went to causeway point to attempt to reenact our very first date on 3 nov 2007. haha. the place for a first date sounds like a turnoff, i know: ulu and.. pretty much unexciting. but we thought it'd be the perfect place to hang without getting spotted w/ each other since no BBSS student ever goes there. ever.

we played ALOT of competitive air hockey yesterday.. i think about 6 matches, followed by 3 rounds of competitive Datona, and then the WORST simulator ride EVER which cost 4 bucks. it made me nauseous and it did not feel at all realistic. after that we took NEOPRINTS! it was only 6 bucks at the arcade^^. gosh, it's been like ages since i took one. and it was our first neo print ever taken together mwahahaha (i have been forcing him into one of those machines for the last two years, but to no avail. patience does pay off xD). kept laughing at the fact that it's so girly. pink, yellow, bright, glitter an all. but it was fun. HAHAHA the dude tried to carry me but he looks constipated in the shots in which he tried to.

lots of parts missing frm first date like: the guy who fainted on the MRT, stopping by at CCK for food, roaming around aimlessly in Popular, catching a kiddy-ish flick like the game plan and paying no attention to it cuz you're too nervous bout where to position your hands and head during the movie, flipping through our year book, adopting a ball of fluff at cold storage.... sigh, nostalgic.

earlier in the week i hung out with choon yan for awhile just to catch up:) nothing about her has changed and i love it that way:D taught her how to play COFFEE!, drank a hot cuppa choc and basically enjoyed each other's company. oh and, HAHAHA she's in aerobics now xD (yes cy, i'm still laughing at you) please dont dread P.E. okay, it's healthy for you.

more pictures below. peruse as you wish.

my new specs:D and NO, we didnt go get the same specs together.

meet sherman, my new cactus buddy. i talk to it when i'm lonely.

cotton on shades 8) love em both to bits.

and what could be better than ending your week with a chillaxing time at a quiet cafe with a chilly breeze while sipping on a steaming cuppa french vanilla and reading a book? not to mention the cute waiter serving you. (philip's still my man, i only looked for like, 10 seconds)

favourite lovey-dovey phrase of the week:

It is not fire,
But it burns the body.
It is not a weapon,
But it pierces the heart.

It is my love for you,
and it is everything i have to offer.

ciao now chicaroos!

Delhi Chalo!

a grown up white man in a suit perusing a pink beaded necklace. hmm, disturbing. one could only imagine the number of things he would do with that. another one of life's mysteries goes on.

i think every girl deserves at least ONE item from Diva and Cotton On.

DANG.

i wanna own these 2 shops, seriously. just these two. and my life's worth of clothes will be dealt with. *sigh* EVERYTIME i go in there, inevitably i'll want at least 10 items in there. i need to put a restraining oreder on myself. i even put a note on my hp saying: "DO NOT SUCCUMB TO TEMPTATION."

rarrrrrgh. so frustrating D:

----------------------------------------------------------

HAHAHA GLORIA PRANK CALLED PHILIP TODAY.

today we did presentation in front of our class. so cute:D cuz the stress ain't there; makes me feel warm all over cuz it made me realize how comfy i am around my dear A01 people:)-----------------------------------------------

Oh yea! Some of us, incluing me, are going to New Delhi 2 weeks from now!! watch out, Delhi! gotta start doing my research. :/ we'll be working with 2 NGOs there: Udayan Care and Smiles Foundation. the first one is a sort of a boarding school for girls aged 7-18. the latter helps the unfortunate kids who lives in the slums. we'll be planning activities for them:) one of them even includes giving them a happy meal EACH:D (ooo, my face just lit up.)

apart from that, we'll be going to sit in a few lectures in 2 of the reknown universities in India. As well as visits to all the heritage and cultural places there:) obvious what is the main highlight of the trip ey?

just 2 out the 15 or more other places that we'll be visiting. i dont wanna ruin the surprises in stall for me there. shall only put the pictures that i've actually taken with my own camera and hands:)the architectures are so effing amazing. makes me wonder how these ancient civilizations ever managed to get these buildings done. with the limited technology they had in the past. can feel the amount of sweat and blood poured ito these.

i am SO gonna enjoy myself there.

------------------------------------------------

phil is so sweet. he gave me 24 roses for our 2nd anni, to represent 24 months. and sang me a song on guitar on my rooftop, self composed lyrics and melody. i cried listening, twice:') the lyrics were related to the meaning behind the roses. think he posted it on my facebook wall, you can check it out. it also explains the title to my previous blog post entry.

i on the other hand gave him a card which i spent like, HOURS on. >_> worth it in the end luh:) it's the best card i've ever made for anyone by far. and i have a surprise for you on the 11th too:) wheee~

can't wait for india.

can't wait for india.

can't wait for india.
