hur hurs was in school since 830 on thurs morn for lessons. Prof yuen s jus so funny. she s full of funny 1-liners. me wong n justin were early!! given tt we went for tau huay the night before. hur hurs. the rochor tauhuay is duper yummy. i had the butterfly fritter with tauhuayzhui. but i had them from the not-so-famous stall beside rochor beancurd.for those who still dont't know. these 2 stalls are opened by brothers. they learnt the art of soy cooking from their mother since young bu whom has since passed away. they thn split up due to various issues and open a stall side by side, selling exactly the same foodstuffs or more. i personally prefer the non-famous one. see. for the famous one, they got so much popularity that it is possible they compromised on their quality. and since the non famous one has a much shorter or no queue, wad more can i ask for? (:
then after MA went for meetin w prof at SESS. then had meetin w marketing group.omg my mktg group rock socks laaa. we re gonna be doing on CONDOMS. hur hur hurs. friggin funny. huzer is a really entertaining guy. he shud be hired to be a comedian. hahas quite a fruitful discussion. after that, i went off to go home to change. and quickly went over to faceworks. mum signed me for a makeup and hairdo. hur hurs. cos its freshmen bash that night. and i was like invited to be one of the judges. yarpp. the make up turned out rather well! (: didnt make me look too old for once. but the hair kinda did that for me. boo. but oh wells its all in the name of fun. met benny after that! THE bday boy. hee he changed the venue for his celebration to MOS. easier for everyone he says. we had dinner at nectarie!! this bright and cheery place near the taxi stand. actually i was frantically lookin for a casual but nice place for a bdae treat dinner since i tot i was running late. thn nectarie appeared. perfecto. the whole decor of the place is very much alfresco. with a dessert display fridge inside as well as the sandwich bar. the walls of the cafe is transparent. so it gives a very open and carefree feeling.
we ordered a set meal to share since we were both not very hungy. the set meal's really worth it! like $15 for soup of the day, breakfast tea/coffee, choice of dessert, as well as a sandwich. its real nice seein benny after so long. hardly see him arnd in sch. somemore he s still teachin at ac barker. that boy s cool larh. won some award for best teacher in sec1 &2. proud of u benny!
the soup and the tea came first.
the soup was nice! could taste whole chunks of mushroom. and the portion was jus right. the breakfast tea was jus normal. tho the novelty of it is that it is served in those cylindrical instrument. hur hurs. rather neat way of presentation. (:
then the main came. smoke salmon with egg mayo on multigrain bread. the sandwich is awesome. the smoke salmon with egg mayo tasted fresh and good! didnt really tot of mixin the two together before. yarpps. the side garden salad was nice as well. i liked the sourness of the vinaigrette. over dinner, talked to benny about sch & all. realised as year2s. we ve really grown up. no longer bothering about whether sch s fun or whatever. all we wan is jus to absorb in learning and get a good degree. he s been rather busy with law as well. heard bout the monstrous loads of readings. oh wells. after the mains, we called for dessert. we can choose from mango mousse cake, chocolate cake with coconut mousse, the irish cream cake, or the choc truffle cake.
feeling adventurous, we took the one with the coconut mousse. and it turned out very nice! it has a layer of coconut mousse sandwiched between 2 layers of choco cake and it is topped with another layer of dark chocolate. then it has a white choc pc of decor and raspberry jam on the side. i requested for a lit candle since its benny s bdae! (: real nice service staff u have over at nectarie. they gladly helped me and even took photos for us. the dinner experience was wunnerful tho it was rather short.
then the pageant started. i was with prof margaret chan, prof low aikmeng, some rep from the sponsors as judges. for the girls, alicia won both Miss SMU as well as Miss Photogenic. as for the guys, Mark won the 2 awards. its rather fun! since its Ben's bdae and he ordered drinks for everyone and all. i got kinda high on that one. rahhh. but glad i saw so many frens! wong, justin, alicia, yolkies!jialing, jingmin, clara, robin, mindy, judith, gordon, jerry, alex, and many many others. omg. luckily my brudder came over to fetch me after the fun. else i d ve ended up dunno where.
