alrighttt.. school finally started! first lesson was intro to psychology. wah when i first went into the class, there was no one i knew. seriously. most of them were year ones and somehow the rest I dont know them either. but after forming groups and all, gotta know a few of them. nice people! (: anws. intro to psych s interesting! hur hurs. at least i can get away from the usual biz stuff to go deeper into the human thinking process and behaviourial patterns. thn had mktg w wong n justin! our prof s hilarious larh. he s from korea, and he says jokes with a straight face. my my. laughed a shit load. thn ydae i had MA in the morn. w kat yuen. she s very nice too!! nice lady from hk. & she talks exactly like my dad. haha. after MA i plodded down to booklink to grab my books. its so frustrating that we are required to buy the latest editions, and when the next batch comes, they change the editions again. ARGHH overflowing of past textbooks at home. GRRS. met shimin & mervyl for lunch after that. decided to get abit away fr sch to eat. so we got down to Thai Express at Raffles City. I had eaten at other outlets a few times, and thought their phad thai was good. but... I love olive fried rice. and without fail. they always disappoint me. total of 3 times at different branches already. olive fried rice is quite the signature dish in Thai cuisine, and if Thai Express wants to capture Thai-food lovers like me, they d better do something about this soon. hur hurs. so i ordered the fried glass noodles with prawns.
the sight of it was alright, but when i dug into it, the glass noodles were dry and lumpy. there is no distinctive taste of the seasoning at all. I had to dap the noodles in the chilli powder at the side for it to even have flavour. the prawns did live up to what they state as "succulent". and they did give a substantial amount of them. overall the dish is not really recommended if you are looking at having good thai cuisine. However, their phad thai beef has somehow maintained their standards. for me, i will go Thai Express only for their phad thai in the future. i d rather call up jingmin to go Thai Noodle House anytime for their authentic thai cuisine (plus they ALWAYS have my olive rice)
yarps. chatted over lunch about school and all. Mervyl s like gonna graduate this dec. how fast. blahhh i still got like 3.5 yrs. well done. hur hurs. after lunch i headed to mr tea for a short while to grab my fav ginger marsala! (: never fail to be yummy. then met nasir and seok for OOPS! thn i had my counselling class. its fun! prof tim n tan are really passionate advocates for counselling. their visions and ideas did come into reality in the SMU Peer Helping programme. i hope i can equip myself with the necessary skills to help people around. whee i like my mods this term.
looking at all the freshmen in sch, kinda reminded me of how i was exactly like them last year. pretty nostalgic. moving on to year 2, its a different ball game. higher expectations (of self and from others), greater committments, more responsibilities. AHH. i realised. i grew up. its almost only ydae that i was still playing catching during recess in st margs, eating orange bowl with my frens back in st nicks. or ponning lectures to go coro to eat in HC. gosh. time really didnt wait for slowpokes like me. oh wells
aights gotta head to sch to set up booth for choir soonish. performance for CCA day today! (: ciaos.
