CIAO....... (weird, its a spanish word......... didnt noe dat until i TRIED to be smart and include
-IT MOVED ANOTHER PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!- albiet aft 1 minute (i timed this time)

pepper lunch / Tuesday, October 24, 2006
juz a few hours ago, i learned (first-hand) wad pepper lunch was.......
nope, its not lunch, as in, u noe, lunch? a meal? yar. its actually a (veri ex) restaurant...... get the picture..... did i mention its quite ex?
anw, went there juz a few hours ago to hv dinner......... the idea of pepper lunch was quite novel in my opinion...... as in........... u get to sorta "cook" your own meal and having a sorta "fast-food" concept (i mean c'mon, the food was served within like....... 5 minutes????)
but yar, did i mention it was quite ex? fine, i agree. it was quite filling (still feeling quite full now 3 1/2 hours on) and the idea was quite novel.......... but the food (in my opinion) wasnt exactly SPECTACULAR......... or wassit juz my (bad) culinary skills cuz i did mention dat we had to sorta "cook it ourselves".......... my chicken was quite reasonably cooked in my opinion........ the salmon juz wasnt tasty enuf (im quite convinced dat dat was NOT my fault) but the tou-ga (or beansprouts) was quite horrid........... dunno why, but my parents said the tou-ga was the onli one dat appeared cooked in their opinion......... WEIRD
two pieces of advice, next time u go pepper lunch
- read the paper thingy around the dish thingy......... it sorta gives instructions on how to "cook" your dish..... i read it abit late...... to my detriment...... in fact, i sorta let the dish cool down for 20 seconds........ blur me...........
even better, go watch the "tutorial" screened outside the restaurant before you do battle wif tou-ga-s...............
-go wif your parents if ure broke........... yup.......... i went wif parents...... so naturally they footed the bill......... 4 ppl = 55 bucks
NOT sumthing dat most ppl (like me) can afford daily.......... fine, weekly even.............
but overall, it was quite a nice exp...... btw, the outlet i went to was at taka...... dunno which one the rosythians might want to go to...... but did i mention it was
NOT EXACTLY CHEAP? wait........ all the things there were not cheap.......... dotz......... o, and its definitely more filling than most fast-food outlets.........

AHA! cts........ ri is bad, real bad. we finish cts on thursday (unless u take AEP or MEP) then we hv friday to slack (as in play tennis wif my neighbor jian wei whose oso my gd fren in ri) then its saturday where things start to get really haywire....... i went out the whole of saturday going on a shopping spree (who said shopping was onli 4 girls?) and then had my mouth burned up by SPICY SPICY SPICY SPCICY SPICY SPICY SPICY SPICY SPICY SPICY

time....... / Wednesday, October 04, 2006
argh............. the cts r coming..........
for those of u who do not know (cuz ure not in ri)
ct actually stands for common test, or common s-tress......... serious........... and u noes wads the best thing? we got projects that datelines r real close to cts........ isnt dat cool or wad?? i mean like.......
its 2 weeks to cts (actually, 10, ask chin jie, hes brithday in 9 days)
and we gotsa
-IMPT geog project (impt cuz its worth 40% and if i wanna get 4.0 for geog, i hvta ace this, if not......
-english project.......... some tabloid thingy..... basically, u r supposed to come up with a newspaper dats not supposed to look too much like a newspaper.......... i dunno the weightage....... but im trying a really wacky (and risky and potentially disastrous and.... u get the idea? but hey! its still wacky!) idea......
-science project....... im not sure if u can count this as a project lar........ its basically a task that has to do wif water............ conservation
yar, so basically........ its kinda crap......... oh, and we're moving to the new block tmr!!! (as in like less than abt 11 hours frm now) its called the S.Rajaratnam block........ cool rite? well, the buildings definitely cool............. the monitor, asst. monitor and monitor ppl (AV REPS) got a first look at it (MUAHAHAHA)
basically, its all glass.......... must;ve taken the idea frm either bishan library (seriously, its almost the same type of deco with so much see-through glass) or the ACS compound, according to my dad........
and there are 2 project rooms linking us with 1Q -horrified gasp-.......... o, and becoz of the glass, it also means we cant change in class anymore....... now........ for the petition for curtains......... o, and theres a linkway wif RJC at the 2nd lvl....... so the guys there definitely CANNOT change there.......... quite kool.........
o, there r lifts too........ and NO computer consoles, juz this white(we arent allowed to paint and ruin the classroom with our clumsy hands) box thingy that is supposed to house all the wires to hook up to the teacher's laptop when and if they do nid to use the IT equipment........
note- anticipate time wastage while the teacher hooks up the stuff
also note- teachers veri reliant on IT equipment (like our chinese teacher) will lose quite a bit of weight i think....... considering dat our class is on the third floor........ o, did i mention about lifts?
for the last 3 weeks or so, the lifts are only open to use for teachers and those on the 5th to 7th floor........
note- according to bryan, u cld take the lift to the fifth floor and walk down 2 floors instead of climbing up 2 floors....... smart.......... rite?
