I've been blabbering bout 'my issues' for the past 2 weeks or so, no one's really intersted but that's not the reason why I guess it's time to stop.
I went to the career and education fair held at suntec yesterday, had a good talk with the Maritime exhibitors (aka the director of NTU's maritime studies, as well as SP's maritime academy, students and also the bigshot from MPA luh!). They were far beyond friendly and helpful; provided me with lots of information regarding the industry, making me feel as though I might still have a chance of getting into NTU despite them only taking in 60-odd students for this semester. And I sort of have a plan in mind, about where I want to go if I don't make it into NTU.
I'll sign up for Nautical Studies at SP, study 2 semesters in SP, clock 18 months of sea time, and I'll have a sea-faring career! It's going to be something that I really want to do and I hope my parents will be supportive of my plan though; they aren't exactly right now, my dad probably won't be too keen for me to follow in his foot-steps (you can't say the same for yf though, it's so unfair), and mum's like "you better tell your dad bout this". Not to worry (yet) though, application results are not out yet. Let's just wait and see huh.
Anyhow, it's definitely been awhile since any post here came by with pictures.
Yesterday was Mummy's birthday (great excuse to take pictures!), and we had dinner at Azabu Sabo, Marina Sq! Main courses were fantastic, and so were the desserts. Curry seafood rice, deep fried Jap beef steak, ramen with some cold sauce and almond flakes, and fried ramen wrapped in omelette! & for dessert I thought the sesame ice cream's really yummy too. Didn't take pictures of the food, but I will next time!
Bf surprised the mum by getting the servers to bring the tiny ice cream cake out only at the end of dinner, but everyone was groaning about how full they were. Ha! That was kinda sweet of him.
mummy~
thank goodness it wasn't big...
she damned play cheat one lor... cut the smallest piece for herself
andersen's ice cream cake; not too sweet, but a little milky. nai nai.
Backtracking, bf brought me to Kushinbo for lunch buffet the day my last paper ended. Food for celebration, what could be better than that apart from holidays! Got a table and we joined the hordes of people at the buffet stands. The broth in the beef paper steam boat was sweet. And the mussels were great as usual. The rest of the food however, seem to have gotten lesser. Bf didn't find the dining experience as satisfying as before, oh well! Maybe we should try the dinner next time round?
loves mussels, and he's an expert at getting that last piece of chewy meat off the shell without looking ugly luh
We caught PS I love you after lunch and the movie was great! Started tearing when she received the tape recorder and played back. I can't believe that her husband can be so sweet; knowing that she'll probably be grievin and planned everything to help her get over her grief and move on with her life. I can't believe that anyone can do that, and I still cannot. Sorry to say, but yes, I'm still a cynic when it comes to matters like that.
Got this new piece of junk online sometime ago and it's going to help me take underwater pictures... say Cheese!!
The past few days have been spent watching online Juno and Meet the Spartans (I think you can skip the 2nd one or watch it online too), idling around, and more idling around. Ooh and I finally got my ass down to Sentosa to collect my paycheque for November(!). Sweet!
It's been a long, long entry, but guess what! I still have one more thing to add: danny's coming to singapore tonight! YAY totally!
