the jellyfish is back.

PJ has this english speaking programme to help correct the commonly mispronounced words among teenagers, although some were repeated, nevertheless it gives infinite value (although it is not an ideal voltmeter) to the J1s. One sentence was:

"Wednesday is my favourite day."

Indeed! =D

1. Slack lessons

Today's lessons are super slack! Only had Maths lecture, GP Tutorial and Chem Tutorial.

Maths lecture -> Just listen to OCC talk, seemed to understand almost everything.

GP Tutorial -> There was no teacher present! ^^ 90 minutes of freedom. da-bao chicken cutlet rice to class and eat, along with clearing a bit of complex numbers and the compre corrections.

Chem Tutorial -> Listen to Jasima talking about halogens, seemed to have a lot of crosses on my paper though.

Assembly (not counted as a lesson) -> Hear Principal talk about CT results, university admission points, and how should we improve bla bla bla...

One sentence went: "Some of you all when you reach home, you just on your laptop / com and go into facebook, some will go blog, do random things..." Then i am suddenly reminded that i had went into facebook and checked my lucky status, and of course do random things like going to others' blog. Oh well!

2. Tuesday outing to Lavender

Yesterday went Lavender with PH, War and WL, cos WL lost his IC and therefore needed to make a new one. The building is so interesting, we were required to surrender our bags for X-ray checking to see any suspicious things inside or not, then PH made a joke that if the person saw our geog scripts all scored U grades through the X-ray (since u can like see through?). Lol!

After that we went up to the 3rd storey, WL took 4 photos of himself for $5.35. At first PH said that WL needed to wear home clothes to take photo, so when WL came out of the photo booth, i was like "Wth u go in change clothes take photo and now u are back in a few minutes?" Seems like that isn't necessary. Haha!

While waiting for WL to settle his IC matters, we just stoned at the seats, see War play LocoRoco on my phone (no he didn't play well).

Finally, the whole thing was settled, WL had lost $100. We then attempted to walk to Bugis to find some delicious foodstuff to eat. However on the way, due to over-hunger, we stopped at Banquet instead.

Nobody knew what to eat, so i just ordered a mushroom omellete to eat for $5. Didn't take a photo of it though.

The rest also didnt know what to eat, so they just ordered cutlets, and WL ordered spaghetti. The lady was rather friendly, and attempted to sell her chicken balls for the price of $1 for 3 balls. So I was shouting: "Anybody want to share balls?" Somehow the ppl near me gave me the awkward look, oh well! ^^

In the end War bought 1 stick of balls from her, and we sort of shared the balls. The chicken balls were quite big, and somehow there was some liquid oozing out from the balls (not the stick). The taste, hmm... A dash of pepper, imagine the minced meat in the minced meat noodles being rolled up into a ball, with nicer flavouring inside! It is worth to buy the balls! If you ever walked past the Banquet food court near Bugis, be sure to check out those balls! XD

Strangely, many western food stalls used the canned mushrooms for their mushroom omelletes, however, this stall used xiang-gu (chinese mushrooms?) for the mushroom omellete. Another place where I can think of using these mushrooms is in the Al-Funghi (is it spelt like this?) dish in PastaMania. The omellete is very big, i was the first to eat, but the last to finish. Even WL finished his spaghetti earlier than me, LOL!

After lunch, we went to Bugis station to take the train. Apparently me and WL did not have enough money in our ez-link cards, so i had to take the bus and WL borrowed a few more dollars from War to take the train. I then walked to the bus stop which brings me to Woodlands, then i realised, that was the bus stop which i was stranded at during the last time i went to Watch Avatar with PH, WL and War. Curse that bus stop. (Adds Jeff's angry face here, but nobody seen me angry before, so no illustration / visualisation here, haha!)

On the bus, looked around, read my notes (si bei boring), at 5pm i saw BPP through the bus window. Wth sia.

Then that's the end of another Tuesday outing! It sure has been eventful! ^^

3. Trip to Turf City - partial 03 outing - Chong Pang BBQ

Friday 2nd April went to Turf City to Chong Pang BBQ restaurant to actually celebrate ZH's and Keith's birthday. However, Keith was not present.

Went with ZH, RJ, HJ, WJ, SY, Willam.

5pm - stoning around CCK, then took the train to Clementi.

5.30pm? - met up with HJ, RJ then mingled with her. Hmm...

6pm - the bus came? We then boarded the bus, admired the scenery...

Finally reached the place! The place reminds me of a chalet kitchen, except bigger! Then you can see loads of tables (duh) and is designed in such a way that almost any number can go in at once, from couples to super big extended families. We chose the table which has approximately 7 seats.

We then chose our food to eat. There are a few stations?

Station 1: All the fried food, french fries, buns, bread, fried wanton, along with some random curry and 'shark fin soup'.

Station 2: The place where u can take more butter / plates / cutleries.

Station 3: The chilled raw meat, there is about 6 varieties? Satay chicken, black pepper, normal chicken chop, beef, spicy varieties... I scooped the meat up into a plate as if is char kway teow, haha!

Station 4: Vegetables u want to put in your steamboat. Ranging from mushrooms, to green leafy vegetables, to fishballs and beancurds.

Station 5: Drinks! Sadly no non-gasy fruit juice, so i stick to ice cold water most of the time.

We then started to cook the meat. I, ZH, RJ and HJ shared one 'cooker', while WJ and William sticked to the other. I ate the french fries, a bit of bread, satay chicken, black pepper chicken, chicken chop, fried wanton. RJ is seriously a pro in checking whether the meat is cooked or not, whereas WJ and William cooking can be described as chaos.

The french fries is not crispy, and a bit cold, I think that is for appetiziers while waiting for the meat. The bread is ok... The wanton is the nicest among the fried food i ate, small and sweet. ^^

The satay chicken is not bad! A bit strange taste, but it has the satay taste haha! However, I found it a bit spicy, maybe the satay chicken had some spices added inside?

I like the black pepper chicken the most! It is strangely not as spicy as the satay chicken, and the flavouring is just nice! The meat is tender, I think that credit must go to RJ.

Ate a few rounds of these similiar foodstuff, soon after SY came, and he joined the 2 W for dinner. =P

I ate the chicken chop the last, cos everybody is full towards the end. The meat is super tender, i regretted not eating that early... T_T

A funny thing happened towards the end of the BBQ though, I, ZH and HJ went to the toilet, and when we came back, we saw a rising fire and I was thinking: "who trying to be funny go set fire lol!" After that we saw WJ backing out literally from the table, oh so the fire is at William's table! Immediately the stuff came and put out the fire. Damn funny sia.

Staff: "Later the fire burn your eyebrows, your hair then not nice already." LOL!

William apparently added a bit of coke to the cooker, and this increases the height of the butter oil layer, which somehow touched the fire of the cooker, therefore combustion occured. XD

[Extra: For chem enthusiasts, write down a balanced equation for the reaction(s) that occured above.]

After we left, William was obviously trying to be funny by leaving his wallet and phone and then walked off, sounds a bit like his basketball playing, hmm... So I and SY played a prank by keeping it and not reminding, luckily William remembered after a few minutes. =P

After we reached Clementi again after taking the bus, we wanted to watch a movie, so off we went to West Mall. Once we reached the top floor...

A super long queue greeted our eyes. All of us totally sian diao... So the movie was cancelled and I went back home.

A great outing haha! A pity Keith didn't turn up. Happy belated birthday ZH! Oh, if you want to go turf city to eat the bbq, go during the evening, per person is about $18, and there is a shuttle bus at the bus interchange near Clementi station. Check the website for any more information (wa as if i advertising for them, nvm). ^^

Happy advanced birthday Defa!

Swimming back to my aquarium!
