Mid month November...

I think I have butterfingers... more often than none, things seem to just find their escape route out of my 5 fingers. Like this morning, when I finishing apply wax to my hair, then just when I want to close the lid of the round case, the cover slip off my finger and dive straight into the slap of purple wax, causing a deep line of indentation. Sometimes I wonder would it be nice if mosquitos have butterlegs? Personally, if I happen to see one, I would hit it softly and pick it up when its unconscious. Then pluck off 1 hind legs and let it fly away. I believe it will have a hard time sucking blood next time. Wakaka...

Anyway, exams are REALLY round the corner... 28 29 30 I have one paper each. Every year, little children of computer engineering have their exams at the last few days of the exam season. I keep telling myself that the lecturers of computer engineering want to give us more time to prepare for our hard paper. That's why we start our exams so late. But when everyone starts studying, we will tend to start studying too... and when they finish their exams, we are still studying. When they are playing and going out, we still have to to study. To all the little children of computer engineering out there," life is a piece of shit... rich and creamy down to the last bite..."

Talking about eating, thinking back of all the nicer places I have been, NYDC came to my mind. But after some thinking, I conclude that the restaurant isn't that fantastic at all... No, fantastic shouldn't even appear here... some people may misread and thought that since its not fantastic, it may be a bit lousier than fantastic. Sorry about that... let me correct myself, that restaurant isn't that "worth being in Wheelock place" at all... The soup, more like whipped cream + cheese + mushroom, really didn't wet my appetite. Baked rice tasted like what a baked rice should taste like... on the minimum. Doesn't have the wow factor... Verdict, either they are trying too hard, or they are just not trying hard enough...

Went to watch Mr Tony Leong's big movie over the weekend. Lunch was at Ajisen Ramen. Ordered volcano ramen with prawn mayo, my gf ordered Piku ramen with fried white fish sticks. Piku stands for ribs, and the ribs they used is not those racks which you ordered at cafe cartel. They are those with soft bones. Wow factor: the soft bones are so soft that I thought they are some kind of paste. When you send the chucky piece of Piku meat into our mouth, as you bite, every little taste buds of yours will reach orgasm. As for the Volcano ramen, what more can I say, the meat was good. But 3 little pieces really dulls the excitement of the instance roller coaster ride the name promises... As for the prawn mayo and the white fish sticks, don't be misled by the pictures. They looked yummy in the picture, but in actual fact, they are pretty much so so only. The thing worth mentioning is that fried white fish really goes well with the sauce, made with sweet and sour sauce with a bit of mayo inside. When mayo mixed with the clear sweet and sour sauce, the look quite turn off la. But then taste wise, really quite different.

Ok, enough of crapping... luckily I cause a glimpse of those nerds waiting outside library one at 8.10am on my way to breakfast. Now I can recall their sorry faces and use them to motivate myself to study hard... wahakaka...
