There's been a lack of updates and this entry's to make up for it. Wait for the pictures to slowly load people!
HOTBOYS KELONG 17th & 18th MAY
Slept over at Siao's with Rob the night before we left. Bf was supposed to come over to finally take a look at Milo but he ended up at andy's place with the rest of his gang. We spent most of the time watching madtv clips on youtube and munching on tasty tapioca chips before falling asleep finally.
The next day started damned early. We got onto our coach and were soon on our way to NTU, and then JB.
meet the primary school clique
and this is andy, one of bf's sec sch good friends.
bf and me. le sigh.
Took a 25-minute speedboat ride to get us to the kelong, and the ride was kinda thrilling. Think viking ship rides at amusement parks, plus a whole new lot of wind in your hair.
Kelong was pretty packed with many other fellow Singaporeans when we arrived, kids running about and shrieking, uncles in different corners of the kelong with their lines cast into the waters. It was lunchtime! Didn't take us long after that to start our own fishing adventures, set up the idiot-proof rigs and found ourselves a comfortable spot to cast our lines.
hur hur
robin's attempt
4 pm came and it was time for to visit the nearby sibu island. waves were kinda strong, though it's probably not at the strongest yet. Got pushed about by the waves abit before we came ashore to play Captain's ball.
frolicking... classic shot leh siaos!
and another one...

sunshine girl!
So 2 days and 1 night passed by pretty quickly. With that many people on the kelong, I guess I am thankful that it didn't have to be any longer/shorter. It was a good weekend getaway, perfect for people who don't have that much time to spare, but would still like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
VESAK DAY 19th MAY
Accompanied my mum to the Gwan Yim temple at Geylang Lorong 27 in the afternoon. Did the 'bathe Buddha' thing, had a serving of vegetarian lunch and a stick of durian ice-cream before we moved over to Peninsular Plaza to get her a new pair of track shoes.
Met up with ex-Empathians for dinner at Heeren's NYDC and contemplated for a long time before deciding to head to the bar/pub that jianwei frequents. Had a hard time persuading zeling there. The bar's called 6 A.M and it's located near Central, Clark Quay. Bf came down and stayed for a short while before he sent me home. Realized that he left his wallet at the pub only after I got home.
ep girls...

Dinner at SHIN KUSHIYA
Met up with bf for dinner on Tuesday evening. We were supposed to meet for Gelare but we ended up in some Japanese-skewer restaurant first instead. And it's also on this night that I tried Godiva's goldlixer drink (or sth like that, dark chocolate) and I tasted bliss. $10 for a cup of ice-cold bliss, you should try it someday too.
Right back to Shin Kushiya. It's located somewhere (very) near to the new underpass when you walk out of Citylink to Suntec.
Salmon sashimi, the belly part. $9.50 for the few slices of salmon but it was (in bf's words) heaven. He's quite a salmon sashimi fan these days... Quality-wise, it was pretty good. Near to melt-in-mouth.
Bf's main, bits of char-grilled salmon and rice in clear broth. Reminds me of mwee fan, if you know what that is. Don't be fooled by the looks, this seemingly normal bowl of soup actually tastes power, especially with the little bit of wasabi mixed into the broth.
my katsu curry don. the curry's sweet, I would actually prefer it a little more savoury. As for the pork cutlet, it stayed crispy throughout and it's also not too greasy. guess the pork's really quite good.
lighting
complimentary drinks, lychee cocktail and beer.
Do try this if you're a fan of sesame desserts. The ice-cream's accompanied by some thick sesame paste at the side for extra eating pleasure. miam.
At gelare,
mango smoothie, i've never been a big fan of smoothies but omg, this has got to be one of the best that i've ever tasted (which is in this case, not a lot).
Siao u'll like this.
Half-price waffles FTW!
GRADUATION 22nd MAY
And so, we officially graduate. Was sick and hence, the lack of pictures. Made my way home quickly after the ceremony ended. Mum attended the ceremony with me. Left much emotions surging, but I guess that'll be another entry by itself.
stage very nicely done-up.
performers, diva-sth, or sth-diva. sang a song from celin dion(?)
mum & i. what a contrast.
dearest ev & i. your speech brought about many memories, thank you for that.
And so, we graduated.
I went wakeboarding the next day, barely after I got a teeny bit better. Bf picked me up and drove us to Punggol Marina to meet his friends and the rjc girls. It's like a once-a-year thing now, wakeboarding. So bloody expensive can!
Will not forget to mention that relatives are here to visit from Penang. Danny's starting school in a week and the family's here to help him get settled. We visited at least 10 different "3 for $10" shops selling the same stuff over at Chinatown last night. Ohgosh.
What a superlong entry.
