Clique outing after MST last Friday to Sushi Tei and Cineleisure for Get Smart.
My first visit to Sushi Tei and I must say that it wasn't a very good experience. I got myself sitted to see myself stepping onto some rice on the floor. That, was bad. Next, service was pretty prompt, with the waitress constantly topping up our glasses with iced water. Can't expect much as they seemed busy during lunch time. Finally, the food. Portion was just right, and not very expensive, but it was not that value for money as the quality of food was not that good. I had a Tonkatsu Don (Pork Cutlet w/ Egg on Rice). It lacked the crunch you'd have expected from a cutlet, with the juice that doesn't leave the oily taste in your mouth. The skin was soggy from sauce, very soggy in fact, and the meat was very dry. The rice however, was mouthful, so the whole thing wasn't that bad either.
GET SMART - 4.0/5.0. Lots of inside humour, illogical 'common' sense, and predictable yet laughable scenes. You'll find yourself laughing at least every 5 min in the show, which lasted for nearly 2 hours. Loads of fun, and action as well, a movie not to be missed for laughter is the best medicine, especially when there're many sick people this month. HAHA. However, at some part they were not clear as to how this and that happened, such as how agent 86 (forgot the lead's name, really, haha) knew so much about the big, macho man. Forget about these small details though, the movie was worth the time for some good laughs.
Ok, Bye Bye.

Title
It's one of those days when I have nothing to talk about and basically nothing to do at all, that I start to write posts like this.
Okay ... Updates ...
One more paper to go.
The swell has subsided, though I've 'applied some eyeliner' on my right eyelid. It's purple.
Hot nights ... I mean, the temperature, not having hot dates. Air-con works wonders, but I always have my nose blocked when it's on.
Minimal work rate ... Didn't really study for this MST. I need a break.
Thinking of what to do after the last paper.
Writing this post?
Oh ya, I got the swell while playing basketball last Saturday night. Collided into a man's head.
Missing out all the Euros matches - FYP, work and school explain why.
Wasting my holidays - FYP, work, and practically nothing else.
Need some really good food to satisfy my cravings. I mean good food, not lots of food. Though good food of large portions sounds better.
Silent phone ... ... ...
That's good enough I guess.
One more thing, SMRT rocks big time.
Ok, one last thing - I fell in love ...
... With Briyani ... =D
That's all.

I Got Over You
This post has nothing to do with the title ...
It's an annual thing during this period of time ... I'm ill ...
The new Principal of SP, I don't know his name (not like I know the previous one either), implemented the MST system, and everyone's dreading it. Well, I wouldn't if I have no FYP to worry about. I do have time, but physically, I'm usually too worn out to do anything else when I reached home. Took a break away from FYP today, as I'm not getting any better from the cold.
Hopefully I can get over many things - the cold, the MST, the FYP, and the many assignment. Haha. Don't read too much into my title please.
Random ... Last Thursday (05/06/2008), met up with Sabrina and Eileen for some catching up over dinner and drinks. That was fun, though my throat was acting up that night already.
Wednesday (11/06/2008) - went out with 2 friends in search of a friend's birthday present ... But couldn't get it, thus we left it for another day.
Today ... Just plain lazing around and resting, recovering from the cold.

Self-Control
I'm back from the chalet, and as usual, I'm going to put up a post on that.
It was a 2d1n chalet trip this time round, due to shortage of budget and rising expenses. Initially, I thought it was going to be the same - people bbq-ing, singing, beach-strolling and a little bit of drinking ...
And that's when people made chaos to the rest of the people still sober enough to take care of them. Empty vessels and lack of self-discipline got them so drunk that it took almost 20 people to take care of 5-8 of them. So what's our night activity? Taking care of these fucking bastards and bitches.
I see no reason why I should refrain from blogging this, especially when they are my classmates. Though I disagree of any photography or video to be taken, they ought to know how much trouble they've caused.
I stand on Fiona's side to banish all alcoholic drinks on our next chalet trip. I'll give up my beer for this purpose.
In all, those that helped, you were all good people; those that created trouble, give yourself some self-respect and think of how to redeem yourself.
That's all for this entry. Chalet was still ok apart from the late-night irresponsible drinking on their part.

So ... Does Apology Help?
I received an apology recently. I'm not going to write what it was about though, but I'm just penning my thoughts.
I felt that at times, apologies were redundant. Whatever was done cannot be undone, and that, is very true. Can I still bring back what I used to have with that apology? Does that make me happier? Doubts.
And now I wonder, is it because that person wanted me to feel better, that's why he/she was making the effort to apologize and also trying to accomodate me a little? If so, please, I need none of those.
Sometimes when we did wrong to others, we should really understand how they feel, and not trying to bury the hatchets with a simple 'I'm sorry'. On the surface, you might have been forgiven; deep down, that scar remains. Talk about understanding and mending.
It's not difficult to apologize at all. It becomes a norm when you do it far too often. Even when you know you did nothing wrong, you want to apologize just so to ward off any possible quarrels and continued cold wars. That was me.
I hope that person will understand what I'm putting forward here. I'm not saying that I've not forgiven him/her; he/she really needs to read me a little deeper to understand truly how much that hurt. A sincere apology perhaps? I can't define that either.
Putting that aside, tomorrow will be our semestral-ly chalet at Costa Sands Downtown. I'm not part of the organising team this time round, and those that helped, you guys are great to make this happen. Haha.
Tomorrow we shall keep the charcoal hot, down the drinks and make merry.

So We Walked
It was a fine sunday morning. Shirley, Janet, Andy, Nicholas, Fiona and I went for a walk at the Southern Ridges, stretching from Harbourfront to Kent Ridge Park. Fiona's cousin, Pauline, and Janet's youngest sister, Shandy, joined us too. (This paragraph is very Primary School-ish).
Alright! So we met at Harbourfront MRT control station at around 1010hrs, before we headed to the Marang Trail, the beginning of the whole walk. Initially, it was pretty awkward, as that was the first time we did such thing together. Haha.
So we walked. The place was quite scenic. Not the mountains and the rivers and the clouds and the wild horses chasing each other on vast greenland, but the heights and the bridges and the trails right in the heart of the city.
So we walked. We took short breaks in between, having some bread and raisins, while letting the 2 kids rest. They hit off pretty well it seemed. Haha.
So we walked. Pauline kept bugging me when we're reaching. Haha. Cute little girl though. I guess I'm just lovable. Anyway, She kept asking how much more to go, when I had absolutely no idea as well. Haha. How I wish I have such cousins as well. The one I have is horribly rude and proud.
So we walked. Pass the Henderson's Waves and Forest Walk (metal bridges). Fiona was gutted by the fact that she was walking on bridges that she could see what right beneath it. She was afraid that the bridge would break apart.
And so ... we walked. Pass the Hortpark where we took quite a number of pictures, played at the playground and enjoyed more bread. Finally, we reached the Canopy Walk at Kent Ridge, and we stopped.
So ... we had our lunch at Seah Im Foodcourt after taking the bus from Kent Ridge Park to Harbourfront, again. Slacked at Ben & Jerry's, got fooled by the 2 kids with their lame jokes and riddles, and finally home sweet home.
Enjoyable overall. I should be returning to that place again some other day, hoping to reach West Coast Park next time. Haha. Friends' company and good exercise make a good day =D.
