hey pple!!
this blog have been feeling real dead these days..
lack of pics..so here's some!

~a peek into my other life :)~
I went back to Indonesia during the long long wkend..
I actually go back quite freqently, so most of the pix are on food..
the food there is awesome!! here's some of my faves..

On the first morning, we had lontong for breakfast..
i've been gg to that same lontong stall ever since i could see..
so the auntie there practically saw me growing up from that rolly polly to what i am now..haha..



presenting......the lontong!!
it's actually very different from what u could find in SGP.
the usual stuff u see in ur lontong is cabbage, bt there isn't cabbage in there..
see if u could make out the main ingredient..heheh..u will never guess..
it's jackfruit! not the kind that u eat as a fruit, bt the kind when it's still un-ripe..and they cook it as a veggie..
i used to hate it when i was younger..bt i lurrrrve it now..
and i satisfied my 3mth long craving then!



ahahaha..this is my dad..
piggin' out..hee..dun tell him i posted this pic up..
he's gonna kill me..



now! this is sth that u might find familiar..
there isn't anymore AnW outlets in SGP..
bt, the food there is slightly diff..they have chickie soup! it's really good..
and the chilli there is unbelievably tasty..
it's not the kind of chilli that u find in mac's..which doesn't taste spicy at all..
haha..this is also another one of my fave places there..





and what is a trip to Indonesia w/o SEAFOOD?! btw, the one above is a real life crayfish and a starfish!



this, is what i call a crab..
Those in SGP are just hermit crabs compared to this..hahaha..
This is another place which i've been gg to since i was a baby..
the funny thing is that all the pple working there, are still there!
hahaha..the only diff is that they have aged..
they used to have life sotongs there..i rmb when i was in pri sch, my mom and i kena scolding cos we played with the sotongs and they were in a "life threatening" situation by sqirting their black ink..hahaha...



we had this for supper..it's called marthabak in indonesia, and min jiam gue in SGP..it's those u can find in those soya bean shops only that this is much better..there's chocolate, cheese, and peanuts in there..together with it's crispy outside, mmm..it's just sinful..hahaha...



This is my ultimate fave restaurant there! this is something like prawn noodles + tom yum goong..it's super delicious..i make my dad drive me there everytime i go back..hahaha..



oh..we also celebrated momsie's bdae there today!
HAPPY B'DAE MUMMY!



Oh..we also went for sunday service..this is my dad with his cell group singing on stage to commemorate jesus's return 3 days after his death..



yeah..my first Easter egg..hahaha..
Although this church isn't as grand as the churches in SGP, and it's small, it really feels like a big family cos everybody knows everybody..
even the pastor speaks to you..



ok..random foto..my mom sleeping in the living room..haha..
btw, my dad wants me to advertise the house..cos' we only stay there when we go back, my dad stays somewhere else..
so if anyone needs accomodation, pls call me..it's available for rent..
it's actually a pretty quiet place, it's atop a hill, with security guards..so it's really safe..even transport can be easily arranged..





You might also find this familiar cos they breadtalk just brought this franchise over to Singapore..i think in city link..
This is what i call doughnuts..
Some doughnuts that are deemed nice in Singapore has such a strong sweet smell that overwhelms me and i feel like puking..
but J.Co doesn't! i haven't tried the ones in SGP, bt my dad says the ones in Batam is nicer..i don't know how they do it..
the doughnut is slightly crispy on the outside, yet really soft and moist on the inside..not to mention the topping and the price..i bought 12 doughnuts for $7.Cheap?? wahaha..that explains why all the Singaporeans flock there to buy it..
i saw this guy who was carrying 6boxes of the 1dozen box..heh..free ah?

I dun understand why people are so afraid of going to Indonesia..
they tell me that it's chaotic, but i've never experienced strikes or riots there at all! not even during the 1990s when it's really chaoti in Jakarta..
bt Batam is really safe..it's actually a pleasant place to have a hol!
the resorts there are a 100000000000 times better than those i've stayed in SGP..
the beaches there are loads more beautiful..and the spas there are really cheap and good too!

oh..and the exchange rate now is beneficial for shopping..i bought loads of T-shirts..
guess what..i saw clothes selling at $10 at bugis in shopping centres there..it's selling at $3! and that's before the 20% discount!!
i will never buy T-shirts from bugis ever again!

oh..btw, the GST in indonesia is 11%..and here we are complaining when our GST is 7%..haha..bt my dad says that the only diff is that in SGP, the govt collets GST from all sectors, bt in indonesia, they only collect GST from big companies like hotels..maybe that's why..hmm..

anyway..my stpid router chose to break down..urgh..
so my wireless is down..won't be online for quite some time..hahaha..xianz..

It's 2days to common test and i haven't touched on
History paper1: Int'l hist and UN
History paper2: Haven't memorised anything
Econs: haven't go thru the revision package
Chem: Haven't touched it yet
Maths: Half done..

Im so dead for common test..
the funny thing is that i seem more unprepared for common test than for last year's promos even though we have 1wk to study for it..
Maybe that's the problem - procrastination.
too much time to study.haha.

You know what's the irony?
we used to have 9core subjects in secondary school-

1.English
2.MT
3.Social-Studies
4.History
5.E-maths
6.A-maths
7.Chemistry
8.Physics
9.Geography

- but we still managed to pull through with decent grades?
Now, we only have 4core subjects - 3H2,and 1H1 topic
that's almost half of what we did in secondary sch
But we can't even handle it..
why?

some pple tell me it's the depth of the subj that we have to handle in JC
but, the depth is as deep in secondary sch cos we were younger and stupider..haha..
so why??

i so regret taking history

HAHAHA...i shall blog..cos adilla and salt says so..

it's 2days into the hols,
day 2's ending..
and what have i done?
1.catch up on my slp
2.caught up with 恶作剧二吻's latest episode
3.watched loads of senselesss tv including sesame street.hah.
3.done only 1 subtopic of hist
4.itsy bitsy of maths
5.did nth much actually

so dead..hahaha..
ok..nth else to blog alrd..
guilt starting to set in after that fateful day..
shall study.






after my 10pm show (:

went to watch L:change the world today..
L's still wierd..as usual..
but this show added 2 new charactors, 2 kids..
and it shows another side of L..which makes him seem more..human..hahah..
which makes him cuter in this show..

this show is a must watch..
it's really good..i think it's even better than deathnote 2..
ok..maybe it's cos the subtitles are mixed up in my pirated cd..
bt the plot's definitely good..

they should not let L die..
one thing i dun understand is why did L write his name onto deathnote-book?
how did he know he could settle the everything in 23days?
why not 44 days?
why is his last name lawliet? isnt he jap?
is near going to name his last name lawliet too?
why must he die? why why why??
he's so smart...can i have a brain exchange with him?hahaha...
i hate the deathnote author for letting L die..bleaghx..

one thing i hate about gg to the movies is that you get to step into a virtual world of fantasy, and once the movie ends, BOOM! welcome back to reality where commitments after commitments come haunting you..

i can't access my blog..my com refuses to open the webpage..
urgh...
