原来帅哥也和美女一样，禁不起岁月的摧残。今天在家里闷得发慌，就上Friendster溜达溜达，无意中发现了一个数年没碰面的同学的照片。
哎呀，这是我认识的他吗？！看着照片中的K，不禁令我自觉欣慰，因为自己多年来体重都没有太大的改变。
当年第一次见他是在学院开课的第一天，因为K长得很高大帅气，让我留下深刻的印象。当然最重要的是他长得跟我的表叔很像，所以印象特别深刻。后来，我跟K也没有成为好友什么的，只是交情一般的同班同学。
毕业后的数年来，我们都不曾举办过同学会。虽然间中也有小聚会，可是总是猫咪三两只地出现，再加上学院时期的党派之分，不同党不同派的，毕业后都几乎不曾碰面。
不知道下一次的聚会，等待着我们的是惊吓还是惊喜呢？
近来发觉自己话越来越少了，就连写部落格时也总是不知道要写些什么。唉，不知道会不会换上自闭症呢？要真是换上了自闭症，那可有多不值得啊！

Surviving with Singapore food
As I was wishing my taste buds would stop working for some time till I get to cook something for myself, I found a way to swallow those yucky Singapore food without too much difficulties. What is it? Swallow without chewing? No no, I wouldn't do such thing that's harmful to my stomach. The answer is - get FAMISHED!
Room & toilet cleaning is the routine work for my weekends and I like to get everything done on Saturday mornings as soon as I get off from my bed. Usually I skip breakfast on weekends with a brunch before I spend the rest of the day at the library. So, I did the same yesterday. I did my cleaning and laundry in the morning without having my breakfast. Around noon, I had everything done and ready to go to the library. I took a train to the Central Library located at the city central. By the time I reached the Bugis stop, I was famished. I need food! I need food! That's all in my mind. I headed straight to the food court in Bugis Junction, and grabbed a seat (it's always difficult to find a seat for someone who's alone, it's pathetic). I ordered beef noodles. The noodles tasted rather yummy and I finished up that big bowl without feeling like throwing up. *p*
In the evening, I didn't feel like having any hawker food for dinner. I ended up eating at KFC in Singapore for the first time, and alone. I ordered a Continental chicken salad with lots of veg and pieces of fried crusty chicken on it. They serve it with a pack of sweet soy sauce, which doesn't taste nice. I would prefer some thousand island sauce or mayonnaise to go with that salad. I spent around an hour eating my salad while reading my novel. If I was to do my reading in a garden cafe surrounded by green grass, it would be a relaxing evening. But eating at the KFC in a HBD hub, I felt like I have to finish off my dinner ASAP.

It's time to get a new place
It's been more than three days I couldn't sleep well and eat well. Even when the quite-nice X'mas buffet lunch yesterday didn't open up my appetite. This is just so weird, I've never had such "gloomy" stomach before.
Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, I just don't feel like eating when I'm in front of the hawker stalls. Singapore food being not tasty is just one of the reasons, the most important part that lead to this no-appetite status is - I'm sick of dining out!!! And I miss my sisters who fight with me at the dinner table for a bigger portion of those yummy food Mum cooks. Food just taste a lot yummier when you share it with your loved ones, even though you have to bear with getting a smaller portion of them.
So, the resolution is I have to find a new place ASAP in order to be able to cook my own meals! Although my cooking is not as yummy as Mum's, it still taste a lot better than the ones served in hawker centres or highly priced restaurants because the taste is closer to Mum's cooking.
Just don't think I can survive more than a year in Singapore without "self-cooked" food. No longer home-cooked as I have to cook myself. *blek

Coming home...
I'm coming home!!!
I prefer to use "coming home" instead of "going home" because it gives me a sense of closer to home as if I've always been home, though it's not grammatically correct.
It's been a tough week for me. I barely sleep for the past week, waking up at 6am and couldn't get into sleep after tossing and turning on the bed till 1am. I'm just too excited about coming home and so many things going around in my mind. My laptop is giving me a headache. I couldn't decide whether to carry it home or leave it here in my small room. Although Singapore is famous for being a safe country, it just doesn't give me a sense of security about leaving my laptop unattended for a week. If I'm to carry it home, I have to get a new laptop case as my 15.4" Dell laptop doesn't come with a case. I bought a laptop sleeve but it's of minimum protection to my laptop, which I worried that it couldn't "survive" in the long journey home.
I'm taking a 10-hour coach as flight ticket is too expensive and it just doesn't quite worth it to take a flight to Penang. It will probably take around 6 hours or more including check-in and transit. Whoa, that's too much time to spend for such an expensive option.
So, waking up at 6 in the morning and blogging about my worry over the journey. Lame!!! It's just as lame as the city lifestyle here.

Bukit Timah Hiking Trip
I needed some work out after that heavy Indian dinner. So, here's the photos from my Bukit Timah trip on the next day after that dinner. It was a fun trip for someone like me who enjoy the nature after working in the cold but rather dull office facing the monitor for more than 8 hours daily for 5 days. Though I had aches on my legs and arms and even my back after the hiking, I'm looking forward to the next adventure in Singapore!
The giant ants - each of them is about 1 inche long.
Indian dinner
Last Friday, me and other eight colleagues went for Indian dinner at Little India. The restaurant is a cosy one with good environment and reasonably tasty food. So sorry there isn't any photos of the food we had as we all were too excited about eating Indian food with our hands for the first time in life (at least for most of us as there were Korean, Singaporeans, Malaysians and Chinese among us). Here's the list of food we had:
1) Naan
2) Curry fish head
3) Mysore mutton (hope I didn't spell it wrongly)
4) Tika chicken
5) Mango lassi
and another one or two dishes which I couldn't remember the name.
It was really fun to enjoy the dinner the Indian way - with hands. We all laughed so much making the dinner too heavy for all of us. Why were we laughing? We were laughing at each other of the way we eat with our hands with all the rice & gravy all over our fingers. It sounds yucky the way I describe it, but we didn't feel anything but fun. Haha
After the dinner, we all went to Geylang, the famous red light district of Singapore. We all dare not walk into the alleys, so we ended up having the famous Rochor tau hua and went home after walking along Geylang main street. Many Ah Bek and girls with sexy clothes sitting in the kopitiams, eateries, etc. I don't feel pleasant walking there, but it's a good opportunity to have a look of the other side of Singapore, besides being an advanced and organized city.
This photo was taken by an 'en dau' Indian guy (very good looking indeed) at the Gayatri Restaurant.
