escargot!

Finally, after centuries of not going out to eat, I have pictures of what I had for my early supper. Boy was it fantastic. Anyway, like always, I went to the cheesecake cafe. Here are the pictures.
This was what 'ter had. Vanilla chocolate cheesecake I think.


This is what I had. Chocolate truffle.

Actually, I was dying to have something with thick chocolate fudge sauce. However, that's(chocolate truffle) the best I found and ya, so I ordered chocolate truffle. It was acceptable. To me that is. I mean. It was powder, cream, sponge, cream, sponge. The cake was like layers of different texture which is nice. And they added raisins. I don't hate raisins just that I prefer chocolate cake to be chocolate cake. Not some fruitish chocolate cake. However, the raisin does go well with the chocolate just that I am not a big fan of it. Overall, I think I will give it 3.5 stars. For what 'ter had, I gave a review before so go find it.

As most of my readers know I am quite fond of the cheesecake cafe. I always describe the wonderful ambiance there. Well, I finally have a shot of just one of the many artifacts they have there. This is it. The most obvious piece there. Ain't it a beauty?

Aafter having much small talk, 'ter and I thought we can't just sit there with nothing on our table. We finished our cakes you see. So we asked for the menu and ponder over what to eat. After contemplating for some time, we decided on escargots. Doesn't it look delicious?

This was my first time you see. So excited. heh. I have heard about it but just too afraid to try it. I mean, it is snail after all. Oh and I think I accidentally stepped on a snail when I was walking to take a bus. It was dark so I couldn't see properly. Anyway, that's not important. whats more important is...The escargots were heavenly. They were not slimy at all. They were more of muscly. So it was a little rubbery but not very rubbery. There was garlic oil to go with this delicacy. It was simply...Smooth. Due to the oil of cause. But it was not really greasy. As there were six, we had 3 each. After my third one, I was actually craving for more. It is really really scrumptious. After settling the bill, I walked home a satisfied person.

Well, that's all for today folks. See ya again. Ciao!

Gone under crack

The feeling of distraught when no one understands or questions. The constant migraine upon thinking of why things happen. Will they know? Will they find out?

As time passes, the intensity increases. The pressure upon me has been mounting higher as I speak. Has the true meaning been lost? I think I have gone under crack.

Distance. It is just a barrier that separates the one whom we love. However, love conquers all. Does it? However, distance can be a good thing too. Not everything is one-sided. That's where ying yang comes in. There is a balance of good and evil in everything or everyone. What does one mean when they say he is beyond saving?

Changes to save a person. Will it work? We don't always see the immediate effects of the efforts that we have pumped in. Perhaps, only the person who needs saving can save himself.
in this facade-d society, not everything is that straight-forward. Literally. One can say, but to do is a whole new story.

Words. They help mankind in many different ways. Without them, what would life be. Imagining the difficulty in communicating with one another without the help of languages. One should be appreciative of languages.

The mind is a complex thing. Like what professor X said in the X-men 2 show, and I quote," the mind is not a box. It cannot be open as and when you wish." at times, we wish to know how or why something happens. Take me for an example. I yearn to know why this or how that. It is extremely frustrating when your mind is in a swirl of thoughts.

Mood swings. It comes and goes like the coming of time. It can happen any second. How it works, I don't know. But...What I know is that, sometimes, emotions can get out of our voluntary control. It is like an invisible force is controlling you. Sighs.

okay, Winston is back to earth. heh. After spilling everything from my brains, I feel soo much better. Anyways, I got to go mug. As usual. And thanks for tagging people. Ciao!

A little bit of something...

Like every other week, this week didn't start with a bang. Sighs. Stress level is mounting high as we approach dooms day. For the fast few weeks, I didn't sleep the usual time I always sleep which is 11 plus. Actually, for the pass few weeks, I think I was sleeping at like 1, 2 plus. lol. Sleep too much in the afternoon so I become a thief at night. Okay, that's quite lame.
anyway, today is Tuesday. Will put a brief update on yesterday.
Monday.
I was using the com in the morn as we were suppose to start school at like 1pm as we didn't have HAP Lab(thank god!) anymore. Then, the phone rang in the morning. It was Kit Wei.
Kit Wei: HARLLO! Guess who is this
Winston: hmmm, who is this?
Kit Wei: this is Kit Wei la.
So she told me that Ms Quek(our SFP tutorial teacher) couldn't make it for the time slot. So it was pushed to today at 4pm-5pm. It was kinda stupid to go school for like 3 hours and two modules[I used to call this subject till I decided to change =)! ]. Anyway, school ended in a snap and I went home. Suppose to glue my arse down to get some serious work done. But where does one find my arse but on a chair using the newly bought lappie. I used to hate using com at home as most of my friends know that the speed of my old com was fast than you can say 'supersonic'. Thus, I refrain from using the com. However, due to the new addition to my family - the new lappie, I have been touching it almost every night. Like I told myself not to use it tonight. But lo and behold, what are am I doing now? Anyway, that is Monday.
Today.
Well, I started school at 9am. Went to take the a bus to the interchange. When I arrived, I realized I was a little too early. So I made a slow walk of a double loop before arriving at my destination which is the bus stop to take the free shuttle bus to school. When I arrived, it was 8.33am. I sure know how to take a long time to walk. lol. The bus was a minute plus late. Boarded the bus. After that, I kinda realized, why is there so few people going to school? Maybe it is a Tuesday so not many people have classes in the morn. Well, I don't know.
Anyway, M&S1 tutorial was interesting. I think I am a weirdo. lol. In a sense that, I paid attention during a lecture of a particular topic and for the tutorial pop quiz, I made a extreme careless error and had 6.5/10. Recently, for the last topic, I didn't pay attention during lecture and for the pop quiz today, I got full marks. I thus conclude, do not pay attention during lecture and you will score full marks for tutorial pop quiz. lolz.
After that, it was our lunch break. I didn't have lunch (as usual). Went to library to have chatting session with wan hua and xinyi. So exciting. Had much to talk about (as usual). With the blink of an eye, one hour has gone and we went to SFP lecture.
SFP lecture was normal. Nothing much happen.
After that was OBC. Gosh was it hilarious. At first it was so boring when Mr Tan explained to us the revision exercise. You see, my class was sitting in the link up LT. Hwee Li and gang did the most unthinkable. After much laughing and Mrs Usha saying ,"Shhhhhhh! Quiet!", Genie cut out thick paper eye brows and Hwee Li pasted it on her eye brows. I think their theme was La Pi Xiao Xin. The effect after Hwee Li wore that thing was - HAM SUP GUAI! lol.
after the lecture, Hwee Li walked out of the LT wearing those things. There was this guy who sat outside then looked at her then did his things. When I looked back to find my clique, I saw him turning his head and staring at Hwee Li. So lolz la!
After that was an hour break before that stupid SFP. So annoying la. Anyway, don't wanna talk much about it. After like half an hour, we were able to leave. Thank god!
anyway, life pretty much sucks at the moment. I am at the mercy of my dad's constant nagging. This is oh so heavenly. Yah right. Can't wait to go there and smack his arse and say,"Uncle! So much saliva is it. Then donate to those who need it more than you!" lol. No la. I not so bad okay. haha. My daddy rocks. He bought a lappie it will be faster. So nice of my daddy. haha. Okays, I think I better go before the house is flooded in his saliva. Ciao!

Time really passes

Today is Sunday. Time really passes quickly once I have started poly. In the blink of an eye, the end of week is here. The start of the week is beginning. Sighs.
anyway, I woke up earlier than I expected. I slept at 2am yet I woke up at 8am. I wonder why. Too much caffeine in my blood I think. Watched Japan Hour. A really oiishi show. I read the newspaper after my show while eating breakfast which was a little pathetic but its okay.
when to do my work. Study SFP to prepare for my Lab test on Thursday. Suppose to do like the M&S1 tutorial and extra topics but then it looks so complex so I gave up. Spend both yesterday and today studying this subject. Sighs. My dad went to my grams and my mom went to church to see her sister. I was left at home. I tried studying but I couldn't. I arranged my songs and listen to them while reading... My notes.
ate porridge for lunch and continued studying. blah blah blah. I had my dinner just now, and I am using the com. My dad is soo annoying. Always blaming me. Blame and blame and blame. What did I do wrong? So crazy la that old man. Reaching the age of 58 yet his flow of saliva is never ending. Nag and nag and nag.
anyway, no mood to write any other nonsense. Going to learn canto. Ciao!
