"chap gor mei"
had an early dinner of steamed fish and prawns, roasted chicken and veggies before sending thomas back to the jetty. mum had an interesting time killing those prawns - they were still jumping about when she bought them earlier in the day. but they very sweet, didn't need any flavouring at all. at about 8.30pm, mum, dad, claire, jerm and i drove down to chinatown to soak in that last little bit of chinese new year atmosphere. walked along the main roads and saw a bit of the colorful displays. passed by the money god too but we didn't rub and gold ingots. joined the long queue for tangyuan from the street stall. tried the sesame and green tea flavours. i think my favourite is still sesame. well, as usual dad got called to go to work so we had to go home around 9.30pm. had a great time though. wish festivals never had to end.

happy 21st birthday kahyee!!!

went to crystal jade macau at bugis last night to celebrate her birthday. it was quite fun; we ended up playing zhong1 ji2 mi4 ma3 cum truth or truth as entertainment. pity the crowd wasn't too scandalous...haha...jess, aishu, jialing, sirui, kairong, ningyi, chris, alvin, zhongyang, myself and of course the birthday girl turned up. didn't stay too late though, cos we had school today. hope you had fun kahyee!!! :) enjoy brokeback mountain. wish i could vote too.

today wasn't particularly sunny, weather- or other-wise. was late for lecture so i ran from the car and tripped over the steps at the carpark in front of THREE BUSLOADS of people. talk about embarrassing. sigh. lots to copy at tutti's lec as usual, and the athropods lec wasn't that switched off either - especially since we had no notes - so i couldn't eat my breakfast/brunch till about 10 plus. then there was that extra-long last microb prac...had to run (again!) to lt 28 to catch the cofm ca 2 briefing by adeline seow. splutter....

the highlight of the day was dinner at lawry's. mum and dad had this $150 voucher and since thomas is out of the army on 3 days mc we decided to go give it a try. ordered the california cut and wine set. it came with the spinning bowl salad, cream spinach, idaho whipped potato, chocolate torte, tea and a glass of 2002/2003 cabernet sauvignon. got a bit stoned and extremely flushed after that one glass of alcohol. can't believe they charge $6.50 per tiny bottle of evian still water either! the bill was insane even after the discount. the beef was good but 90% of the price probably went to the ambience. the choc torte on the otherhand was delicious. all in all, i had a lovely time. thanks parents!!!
