Campus Yummy Hunts in NTU! (part 2)

unfortunately, I was unable to be part of campus yummy hunt at NTU's first filming.. but nonetheless, I was part of the filming today with Felicia Chin and Dasmond Koh for the new Channel U foodie show.

well, the day started at 11am, with me visiting Canteen 14 for the first time in my NTU life.

I was part of some 28 food tasters, including students and outsiders..

from there, we tasted can 14's Mixed Grill, which I thought was overly meaty, although some parts were good but the others was so so... (I hate beef n lamb!!)

canteen 13 was recommended for its Korean food. I was surprised to know tt all the crew frm the stall were korean. i personally thought the food was satisfactory, and kimchi was great. we tried the bibimbab and I was pleasantly surprised at the taste.. It was much blander than the c-jade one i tried last time, but i'll give it a passing grade.

the third station was canteen A. Jap food was on the menu, and by then, most of the tasters were already pretty full! We had curry chicken katsu don, which was one of my favourite dish originally. However, today, the miso soup was too salty!(tink zhang ziyi in the visa adv). The rest complaints abt tt..

I made my final choice and decided tt the Jap food was my favourite, based on history n not on the food today.. who eventually won? I can't tell u..

but I shall leave u with pictures i took with Dasmond and Felicia, and the curry don!





remember to catch the episode I'm in on 18th December!!

a Real Run!

I muz admit, I wasn't prepared well for the run. I've not been training too regularly, and I didn't sleep v well last nite.. I was not familiar with the route, and the air was rather stale.. all these might seem like excuses, but i tink they are.

yours truly took part in my 2nd New Balance Real Run this morning.. unlike last year, I seemed very slow right from the start. Why-oh-why? I somehow forgot my timing last year, and kept tinking that it was 2hr 20mins last year back at sentosa (where the sand patch was much longer).. Tis year, I came in at 1hr 38 mins.. last year was actually 1hr 36 mins.. i lacked by 2 mins.. wahaha!! how come? I oso dunno.. i walked too much, and i tot i wanted to jog/sprint for last 1 km at least, but i juz din find the motivation to. I remembered last year when i ran like mad frm merlion all the way back, but i lost it.. realy.. so sad..

altho the view at changi aero expo area was great, but the air smelled strongly of char and oil.. eww.. and the endless seeming 2km out and 2km in was a mental torture for me.. i need to built up my mental strength!! the place seems too big and long, and nothing to look forward to.. sadded.. if onli i ran frm the 1km mark, or if onli i ran frm the time i passed turn into the hall.. so many if onli-s..

but i muz admit the run was well organised, from the pre-race, to the bus transport to and fro, and the whole distance run.. (at least there are more drink stations this time), and the whole event.. but the fees a lil' ex leh.. haha..

shall train much much harder now.. and looking forward to a below 1.5 hr (much lower please!) timing for Stan Chart SM come 2nd Dec..

shakalaka weekend..

other than rushing for reflection paper for Effective Communication, reviewing computing stuffs, studying for Principles of Economics test this thursday, doing the loads of revision on physics and chem and maths as well as doing tutorials for this week, I spent the whole weekend in my hall.. But not really, this was what happened..

Friday: I skipped 2 lectured due to my dental appointment.. orh... went to NDC to see dr tey, who confirmed that we can try to book the OPERATION THEATRE for my JAW operation as soon as 18th December (but muz b at Changi General Hospital coz SGH all booked le).. gotta see if they have the equipments.. so if all goes well, U all can come hospital visit the all new Isaac.. ( yes, I will literally have a new FACE. yeah.. shuai ge in the making.. oops..) Then after the rounds of x-ray and checks and calls, despite not being able to confirm, i was still glad. coz it is finally coming.. i waited three years le.

after d dental appt, i went Gorgeous Solarium, a new concept sun tanning studio at Tanjong Pagar for my complimentary tan that i won thru a online contest.Ok lo.. coz until now i still dun see the effect.. orh.....

Saturday: I studied till around 1130 before pei-ing weizhi out shopping coz his girlfriend cud nt accompany him.. am I a good friend or a good substituent... lolx.. but it was fun going out with such a not bad looking and quite trendy dancer.. haha.. we went Bugis and have lunch n walk walk.. very crowded lo.. they were having this Singapore Male Calendar Guys event.. but hor, after we stared at the photos of the supposedly hunky n muscular guys, we juz cudn't decide which one looked good. neh mind.. and at bugis village, I passed a simple hair cut salon.. at it only cost $16 for a cut+wash+style.. so after contemplating, i decided to give it a try, since i'm there.. wow, he really dare to cut lo.. and gave the the style i always tried to get, but the Jean Yip ppl n Klearcut ppl nv dared to do till tis extreme.. once again, its the hair of a uber non-engineering look for a engineering student...


then in evening, I went to see shakalaka baby Kelly. she really skinny n quite pretty.. thru Y.E.S 933 contest, i won a chance to take pic wif her n also get a autographed tee shirt n poster..


Oh ya, let me name who i met @ bugis tt day: pri friend jing wen, sec sch friend nathania, bmt friend weiquan, 3sig friend yezhe, hall4friend lijing and many more.. whoa.. bugis is the place man.

sunday: cut short: study, go collect race pack for next week New Balance Real Run, went May Shan's 21st birthday at Aloha Loyang Terrace 8, then came back hall early coz they all got car can stay late.. argh.. but nvm.. i got guest in my room.. Mark stayed last nite coz he had party in hall6.. haha.. hope u rested well n not with much aches around.. do pop by again future k.. ( oh year, toking about tt, I DID AREA CLEANING lo. I wiped the table and FAN and cupboard top and sweep n mop the floor.. whoa.,. tiring job despite small room....)

*i'm really enjoying it NOW!*

its mugging time

Whoa.. i spent my weekend at a park.. king albert park tt is..

suddenly feel the vibes..

seem juz yesterday when i went there after school back in JC years to study for A levels, doing my TYS for chem and maths endlessly, writing my GP essays. I remember the times when i went over to Bt Timah food centre for dinner of pasta/slice fish beehoon/carrot cake because the food at McD was far too ex (at tt time onli $5.20 and i was comnplaining lo). I remember dearly walking down to cold storage for drinks and snacks or juz walk walk coz i was bored..

times are different now, i got my macbook and iPod (last time onli got sony discman lo) with me, i dun have TYS anymore, i got my K800i to snap photos of ppl ( tt time my phone was onli a nokia 3310 la!)

when i see the sec sch kids there.. whoa.. how i wish i was a sec sch kid.. or a jc kid.. unlike now.. hmm.. i really enjoy the time i spend there.. altho i think the management hates me. coz the onli thing i bot was a cone, and it cost 60c! (last time 25c onli lo!)

OK! I was bluffing his identity all these while

I have to admit now. My on and off "relationship" with one of the most important in my life is, well, not all true. The not true part? That he is in the army. Sorry to those who i have bluffed. No, he is not in navy. It is another of my friend. But I had my reasons for saying why i had to say "he was in army". But i just can't tell you all.

Clarification: He is still in Singapore Poly, studying accountancy. 20 years old.

I know this will get all of you who knows us confused, as those who heard my "army" story. Just that... well, its our common decision, so we had to use the story! For now, let us all forget it, all right. We will set it back to him being in Singapore poly and is a student as he always was.

He is still a part time newurbanmale ambassador, altho he works less often now. And recently, he was spotted to be part of Hey! Gorgeous. Yup. If u noe who it is then good, if u dun, then too bad. Well.. He "has a girlfriend" for "a long time" le.

The two of us lead a life where only the two of us can explain. Lolx. Just follow my story and it will be simpler. Ok?

This is an important message

Singapore is fast becoming a global nation, and much things have changed. Attitudes about issues are fast changing, and many people are now more open minded. We all know that and believe that, but are we really moving forward?

How much, how fast, and how are you moving?

Homosexuality. Is it accepted? Can YOU accept it? And how much do you exactly know about the laws binding homosexuality and homosexual acts? Do you support them? They are said to be loosely implemented laws. Then what is the point of holding them? Read the open letter on the link to understand better the viewpoints of the community at large.

Rest assured. I am not one of them. Neither am i another gay advocate/activist. But i just came across this, and understood the message behind. I am trying to bring this message out to a wider audience. I support my other friends. We all know the need for repeal.

I don't know the outcome of this, but then, lets just try. For our fellow countrymen.

Please log on to the website and sign on the open letter. Thanks.

/* All these while */
