Today is the 2nd day of our FYP presentation, which means, everybody is free after today! So we met up at Bedok MRT at 530pm and headed down to Bedok 85 market for dinner. The food was super oily/spicy/sinful! Here is the spread of food we had…
After dinner, since it was still early, the 7 of us went to Changi Airport Terminal 3. Today is 2nd time I went there. First time was during its open house last year. T3 doesn’t seem to be as busy as T1. It is far more spacious and the aircon is way more powerful. We decided to have drinks at TCC. The drinks there are…. NOT cheap. I ordered Ice Minty Mocha. This is how it looked like at the start…
Other than its pretty look, it actually had nothing really special. The mint taste was not strong, so not very refreshing.. But just yakking with a group of friends without worrying about class/test/FYP was so enjoyable! Here are the happy us!
I didn’t know my phone camera can take photo like this. Not to forget the gentleman who took this photo (the gentleman between me and Angel)..
Tomorrow is the last day of lecture in NUS. Gonna try out the academic dress. Finally I feel that I’m going to graduate!
My FYP has finally come to the end! Haha! My final presentation ended at 330pm and was followed by a series of celebrations! The first way was to have a cup of ’screw driver’ (vodka+orange juice) at home. Don’t be mistaken. I’m not an alcoholic. I was just drinking orange juice, when I suddenly spotted the bottle of vodka I opened when sy came to stay over. So… I added it in a little bit. Lol.
Dinner was at Whitedog Cafe at Vivocity. The food was okay. Here are what we had…
Creamy Salmon Pasta. The pasta was quite nice. The cream sauce was rich and smooth, and white wine in the sauce made it less thick, so that people wouldn’t feel sick of it easily. I liked it.
This dish is called P.S. Love. What kinda weird name… Anyway, it was just prawns and scallop wrapped in bacons then grilled. The scallop tasted very good! The prawns were a bit disappointing. Not juicy enough. An interesting dish anyway. We also shared triple mushroom soup, which to my opinion was not creamy enough, even though the taste of mushroom was very strong.
After dinner, I rushed down to 6th Ave for tuition. Had some more fruits and ice cream there. Lol. My student’s mother was super nice to me, and she seemed to work very hard to feed me fat.
After tuition, I headed down to Cheveron’s with Leng for bowling. I haven’t bowled for a week. Surprisingly, today I bowled quite well. Very few reverse hook, and I managed to open the game with a strike! Lol. For those who don’t know my level of bowling, my first ball always headed towards the drain instead of the pins. 
Got to go sleep now. Tomorrow afternoon I have driving lesson. Need to have more rest so that I won’t lose my concentration easily like the past 2 weeks. Gonna have dinner with MSE people at Bedok 85 tomorrow evening. Looking forward to it.
Hooray! FYP is finally over!
I went to watch ‘The Bucket List’ with Leng on Wednesday. I liked it, although it made me cry until my eyes were swollen the next day. It was the best movie I have watched in the past few months. My previous movies were Jumper and AVP 2. Not really my cup of tea.
The story was about 2 men, Edward, who was a billionaire and Carter, who was a mechanics. They were complete strangers until they shared one hospital room and were both given 6 months to a year to live. They made a list of things they wanted to accomplish before they would kick the bucket. As they went on with their adventure, they became friends, and helped each other realize the true meaning of life. It was filled with humor, but I teared badly towards the end when Carter’s wife kissed him for one last time when he died. It reminded me of my grandpa, who passed away almost 2 years ago, how I wasn’t beside him at the last moment of his life, how I couldn’t see him for the last time. I really miss him…
I realize that I tear a lot when I watch movie or TV. Top 3 tear catalysts for me:
1. One Litre of Tears: One box of tissue paper
When Aya cries, I cry with her. When she smiles, I cry even harder. Bravest gal ever. She fought for 10 years before the disease eventually took her life.
2. 霸王别姬: one packet of tissue
I started crying 5 minutes into the movie, till the end. I just couldn’t stop my tears from rolling down. There was nothing they could do. Their lives were not up to them to control it. One of Leslie’s most classic movie. He took his own life in real life just as the role in the movie.
3. 穆斯林的葬礼: half a box of tissue
It is a book, about 2 generations of a family. They had the people they really loved, but couldn’t be together with them. The war, the cultural revolution, the difference in religion… How powerless people were in face of them.
P.S. I bought Juno soundtrack! I absolutely love it. I love the movie too! Missed it when it was showing, so I had to stream it on tudou with lousy quality.
