if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops...
It's 2 more days till cousin Xin Yi leaves for Melbourne! We went to Far East Plaza yesterday for a short shopping spree. I bought a bag, which I intend to use for school while she bought a whole assortment of hair accessories...hairbands, rubberbands, clips, the works. Then it was off to some quaint little ramen place for lunch and Gelare for waffles with strawberry cheesecake ice cream! Yummy. :-)
The June holidays are here for the students, so I'll be jobless for the entire month. I don't mind the extra free time - it's the Great Singapore Sale, duh - but I hate the feeling of not earning money.
M just smsed me. I don't feel like talking to him.
As I was saying, not having enough money to spend totally sucks...but obviously I won't go to the extreme of selling ass for money. I brought this up 'cos my Mum and I joked about this the other day. Those girls who proclaim that they need sugar daddies (even in jest) should really re-think; to get all the money, designer clothes, handbags and shoes you want in exchange for contractual sex in complaince to the requests of an old man (who may not even have his own hair or teeth) doesn't seem like a very good deal to me! I think the visual impact alone will scar me for life; kinda reminds me of 'The Handmaid's Tale'. :-p
It's day 3 of vegetarianism, and I'm doing good. After I signed the pledge on Tuesday, my Mum bought us chicken rice for dinner! I only ate the rice, 'cos I couldn't bring myself to eat the chicken. I told Wei Yen this and she was like, "Chicken rice rice is nice lor..the chicken is just for show." I don't disagree, but I know they're people who like the chicken and are particular about how cooked it is; some prefer the boiled white-skinned version of chicken instead of the roasted one...and they like the flesh of the boiled chicken to be slightly undercooked, with a little pinkish tinge. The one my mum bought was like that, and she insisted that I eat at least ONE piece. It was wet and some parts were pink, and at the bottom of the styrofoam box was a slimey layer of jelly, which is apparently delicious. I don't think I ever had such a hard time eating meat, ever. Imagine reading about chickens suffering in factory farms and watching as they die a slow, painful death in slaughterhouses...then imagine having to eat the partially-cooked corpse of a chicken 15 minutes after that. You'll get what I mean.
I discovered a nice vegetarian eating house at Hougang Avenue 8, block 501 (I think) today! It's a small place, but they serve things like yong tau foo, handmade noodles (I recommend the fried version with mushrooms), roti prata, chinese dim sum such as xiao long bao, red bean pancake and guo tie, plus an assortment of cookies. Everything is totally vegetarian and pretty healthy, apart from the fried items. I guess it's not hard to stick to the whole veggie thing even when dining out cos vegetarian stalls are so common, but it's the variety of choices available that makes the difference. I'm not a big fan of mock meat, which is essentially a whole lot of gluten and not much else...so I'm very delighted when I chance upon stalls that let you choose between white rice and brown rice, and have alot of vegetable dishes. Lalalalaaaa...
Just heard from Angie that 'Pirates' 3 isn't very good! Will be watching it with Tuan on Monday. Neither of us have watched the first and second movies, so hopefully we'll be able to enjoy it more without the subconscious comparisons. I guess people are always skeptical about movies that have sequels and to me, the number 2s and 3s somehow pale in comparison to the first one. I managed to catch Spidey 3, and I have to say that while the CGI was entertaining, I didn't particularly like the ending. I like the idea of a badass Peter Parker though...and Venom is such a cool villain.
