Still awake!!!

Dear Pink Bloggie

It's 2.19 am right now:) Haha, I'm still awake:) Thanks to the swim that I had at 7.30pm! I realised that I become very energetic after exercising. It seemed that all my tiredness will wash away. Since I can't sleep right now, I shall write something on my blog. I think i begin to fall in love with blogging. I love to share my thoughts and activities with all my close friends. I do not know when I have actually liked to write. I remember during my Junior College days, I have always disliked GP essays. I hate writing long essays! But now, I wanna write as much as can. Perhaps, it's my own life and that is the reason why I love to share it with all my girlfriends:)

What I have been doing for the past few days and weeks? Well, I have been going out with friends. Ion has become my number 1 place to hang out. I have been there for three times. Still, I'm not getting sick of it because I discover new stuff each time I go there. There are lots of good food in Ion. R Burger, Japanese Casual Restaurant Watami, DIY Teppanyaki, Tako balls and the latest Katsu Don outlet( I can't remember the name!). Still, there were a lot more to try. You might wonder why I can try so much food despite going on a diet? Well, my diet plan is something like this: Breakfast and dinner-Drink shake. Lunch-Proper meal. There is definitely opportunity for me to try those good food during my lunch hours:) There are certain foods that I have the cravings for:) I have not tried marvellous cream yet! I really want to have a taste of marvellous cream by the end of this year:) I wonder if Aussie has such a wide variety of international food? I really hope so because I cannot accept myself to eat western food everyday. I will definitely get sick of it if I see western food on my dining table everyday!

That's enough about food:) If I write more about food, it will make me go hungry in the midst of the night! Let's talk about my latest craze:) Haha, I'm totally in love with Super Junior:) Super Junior was formed in 2005. It's 2009 now. I kind of regretted for not knowing them earlier. Their song, Sorry Sorry is really catchy! I really love the Sorry Sorry MV:) Then, there is the Super Junior M. I got to know them when I was in China for three months from December 2008 to Feb 2009. They had lots of events in China. I totally regretted for not turning up for their activities when they were doing their promotion during my period of stay. I love Si Won and Han Geng a lot! Super Junior rock my life! I will still follow them up even I go to Aussie next year:) If I'm in China again and it coincides with their promotion period, I will definitely attend one of their events! Hahaha....Chen Yuan is gonna crazy over Super Junior for a long period!:):)

Dinner @ West Coast Plaza

Dear Pink Bloggie

Another night out with my girlfriends yesterday. We took a cab down to West Coast Plaza because the 4 of us do not know what bus to take. Another taxi ride. It's always Jean who paid the cab fare first:)

When we reached West Coast Plaza, we searched high and low for a good restaurant. All of us were getting sick of western food so we chose the chinese food instead. There was this Prosperous Kitchen that attracted our attention. We ordered quite a number of dishes after much discussion. We ordered Mixed Vegetables, Crab meat boiled in thick broth( reminds both Hui Wen and I of the Fish Consumme at Tao's restaurant), Shanghai Fried Noodles, Fried rice and Sweet & Sour Pork. All the food tasted pretty good:) Hui Wen and Jean disliked celery but liked carrots. On the other hand, Karen and I disliked carrots but preferred Celery instead. How interesting?;) As for the Sweet and Sour Pork, it is really yummy:) Is it because I'm just too hungry? The meat is crispy on the inside and sour on the outside:) Fried rice and noodles tasted good too:)

I took quite a few unglam photos. Haha:) Please check out FB:) Karen is forever engrossed in her food. I wanted to try the coconut that Karen ordered. Maybe next time?;) She said the flesh is soft and busy drinking her coconut juice again. Jean is always cracking jokes. Both Hui Wen and I can be lame at times. Throughout the whole dinner, we chatted and laughed:) I had such a fun night:) Too bad, Bee Teng, Pris and Brenda were not with us. I wonder what had happened to our Brenda? She seldom skipped our dinner gatherings. Brenda, if you are reading this, please answer my question;)

After dinner at Prosperous Kitchen, we shopped at Nike Factory Store. Seriously, products at Nike Factory Store are just cheaper than the Nike Store:) Karen spotted a nice T-shirt selling at only around $13.00? She tried it on but it did not suit her. Such a pity! Then, we spotted this weird jacket that I wanted Jean to try on:) I think Jean and I are really noobs. Haha:) We had a hard time trying to figure out this weird jacket. Thanks to Hui wen who helped us to solve the problems:) I wanted to take a photo of this weird jacket but to no avail:)

Karen had this craving for Sashimi so we accompanied her to Cold Storage for her Sashimi:) As she was eating her Sashimi, I felt so tempted. After finishing the Sashimi, we headed down to Hawker Centre opposite West Coast Plaza to have our fried oyster and desserts;) Both Hui Wen and I wanted to eat fried carrot cake but the stall only sells fried carrot cake in the morning. What a pity:) Never mind, at least we tried the Fried Oyster( Reminds me of the drama "Corner with love" starred Luo Zhi Xiang and Barbie Hsu). Fried oyster tasted yummy and nice:) It goes well with the Chilli:) After finishing our fried oyster, we headed home:) On the bus, Jean showed me Sorry Sorry MV by Super Junior. This is the first time that I have seen Super Junior MV. At first, I'm just fine with SJ. After finish watching this MV, I think I'm beginning to like them:) Now, I'm trying to remember all 13 names. Right now, I think I only know Ki Bum and Dong Hae. 2 down, 11 more to go.

I think Hui Wen, karen and I are RANDOM GIRLS. Out of no where, we went to watch Ge Tai on our way home:) Haha:) So random!;) Frankly speaking, I don't understand Hokkien. Surprisingly, I know who is Liu Ling Ling. Haha:) Feeling hot, I bought ice cream from the ice cream uncle nearby. Ge Tai reminds me of my Childhood days in Bukit Merah:) In my opinion, Ge Tai is an unique culture of Singapore and we should preserve it:)

I had a fun night out:) Thanks to my three fun friends:) For our next gathering, we should chill out at starbucks and discuss our end of year trip to any nearby places:)

9/9/2009

Dear Pink Bloggie

I gotta post something before such a special day ends:) 090909 is definitely a special day. It means forever and ever. To those who are happily in love right now, may your love last till eternity. I just read from the news that there are lots of couples who are registering their marriage today:) To those who have just finished their registrations at the R.O.M, may your marriage last forever. As for me, I'm still single. I love staying single. To me, there is no hurry for a relationship. Will love befall upon me??? I don't think so...

I have been feeling sick for the past few days. I'm down with sore throat, headache and flu. I went to see the doctor but no further tests were conducted to determine if I'm infected with H1N1. I suppose I'm just down with common illnesses since I don't have a fever. But sometimes H1N1 can also occur even if there is no symptoms like fever. So, I am very confused right now. Was it normal flu or H1N1??? The doctor keyed in the computer system these few words " Lungs are clear". Does it mean I'm just down with common flu??? Whatever the case, I think I'm feeling much better right now after few days of hibernating:) I should be able to recover in just 2 more days:)

Chen Yuan will become healthy again soon!!!:):)

Dinner at 15 Minutes

Dear Pink Bloggie

Dinner at 15 minutes were great especially with my girlfriends:) Thanks to Brenda who introduced to us such a good place!:) Another great time with you people:) Food tasted really nice but service is not that good. We waited pretty long for our food to arrive. Is it because they don't hire enough waiters???

Menu that were given to us were really simple. There are no pictures of food on it just dish names. That's extremely simple. All the papers were like stapled together one after another? It's one of the simplest menu I have ever come across!

I wanted to order alcoholic drinks but I was having a sore throat so I changed to lime juice instead. Lime juice tasted sour and sweet. I think lime juice goes very well with those food that you can get sick of it easily;)

I ordered the Thai Basil Chicken pizza, same as Karen. Brenda and Pris ordered the Ham Pasta. Jean ordered tuna pasta. Bee Teng ordered fish and chips. Hui Wen ordered the pizza with lots of flakes on it:) I can't remeber the name of the pizza. I sort of regretted for ordering the pizza because the Ham Pasta tasted much better. Next time if I come to 15 minutes again, I will definitely order the Ham Pasta:) After a few gatherings with my girlfriends, I just realise that we have always been eating western food everytime that we met. Hey girls, can we try other food other than western???:) Let's eat Xiao Long Bao next time since Karen is having the craving for it! We chatted and laughed:) I was really enjoying myself:) I hope we can have gatherings more often before I head off to Brisbane:) Sometimes, it is really hard to orgainse one because everyone is busy. Fortunately, everyone was free on yesterday night:)

After dinner at 15 minutes, we headed to Holland Village. We wanted to try out the desserts at 2am dessert bar but it was full house on that night! How sad:( I have always wanted to try out the desserts at 2am dessert bar. Maybe next time??? I must really try that out before I go to Aussie. We have got no choice but to head to Hagen Das instead. ( NYDC was full house too.) I think Hagen Das is pretty expensive and the scoops of ice cream that they give are really small. We should have ordered one whole tub of ice cream instead of 6 scoops of ice cream. I think it is more worth it this way:) After finishing the ice cream, we headed home. How sad:( I hate to say goodbye to all my girlfriends!

After the dinner and dessert, I am feeling sinful again because I felt that I have eaten too much last night. That's alright though because this happens only once in a while. It's absolutely fine with me:) I had a great night out. Another wonderful memory to take with me to Brisabne:) I love my girlfriends:) Muckazzz to you guys!!!:)

Sore Throat!!!

Dear Pink Bloggie

Today was a bad day for me! The moment I woke up, I realise that something was definitely wrong with me. I have developed a sore throat! My throat is feeling sensational pain now. I was looking for Strepsils but it seems that Mum finished up all the Strepsils! Gosh! I had no choice but to drink lots of water. Finally, I could not bear it anymore and headed to Shop and Save to buy my strepsils. It's such a pity that the Shop and Save near my house does not sell blackcurrant flavour. Blackcurrant flavour is the only one that can numb the pain. I have got no choice but to opt for the Honey and Lemon flavour instead. Seriously, I think the Honey and Lemon flavour has got no curing effect! Now, I'm still experiencing sensational pain in my throat. I hope I can recover as soon as possible!

I have also checked my email. I have finally received a letter of eCOE from University of Queensland:) The next step is to settle my accomodation since I can only apply for a visa from 1 November onwards. I was considering between on campus accomodation and off campus accomodation. After consulting the counsellor from IDP, I decided to opt for the on-campus accomodation. The lady was really friendly when she was giving me the advice:) I think I will either choose Women's College, Grace Women's college or the last one is the International House(Co-ed). Anyway, I can choose up to three colleges so I'm definitely going to put down these 3 choices in my application form:) I really hope I can get either get a place in the Women's or Grace Women's college:)

I can't wait to go to UQ even though I will be only flying to Brisbane next year early Feb:) Haha...:)
