precious weekend!

have not been updating my blog regularly...
have been very tired of wad is happening around... i shall not mention here..

just wanna reflect about happy stuff that has been happening during the weekend that has just past..
my mom was in singapore for the whole week last week...which was just wad i needed at this point of time....
out of the 7 days, i only got to meet her for 3 days..
sad sad me... cruel cruel life...
but it was a fun 3 days...

cut my hair at shuji matsuo again... fresh look is wad i need now... (but i think i still have that "i-am-doomed" face... you shld noe why.... it's that time of the semester again! haiz)
shopped for dresses for dec wedding... yippiieee
didnt manage to find any sandals to match tho... either the price is too ex or the designs that i want dont have my size... sobz...

luckily monday is deepavali holiday, so i can send my mom to the airport....
but when i came back from airport... all the schwork, projects and dunno wad else are already haunting me... i was really quite stressed out for spending my weekend just like that...

had yoga that evening... feel quite refreshed at first, but gets so so so tired that i slept at 9 plus, almost 10... woke up the next day at 5... hahah... the first time ever in my NUS life that i woke up so early to do my work...

for now... i just need to get this negative thoughts from my mind and do my best...
i'm at this point where there is no turning back... so just do wadever i can...
jiayou!

Kettle Chips taste so good!!

haha yeah, the title of this post may sounds so shallow and random...
and yes, it is random indeed... haha and this post is dedicated to the packet of Kettle Brand Chips that I just finished.
(disclaimer: dont read if you think that you have no time... --> but the fact that you are reading my blog is actually a sign that you have too much time... so just read on then...)

Last week, I went to the Nanyang mart and I saw the racks filled with Kettle chips...I was so tempted to try coz i know it is supposed to be expensive and expensive stuff is supposed to be nicer (a bit of generalization here...)
I was so delighted when i thought that the price is only $2.00...yay!
so, i just grabbed a packet of Honey Dijon "tangy mustard seeks love at first bite"... that's what it says at the package.... just curious how is a Kettle different from a Lays or even a Pringles...

So, after grabbing some other stuff that I need from the mart, i went straight to the cashier and paid without even knowing how much i was paying for...
when i went to the canteen carrying the plastic bag full of my groceries, my friend commented..."Wah! buying Kettle chips arh..."
I hurriedly explained to him that I bought it because it was $2.00...
then he was like " ha? $2.00? so cheap!"
That was the time when i actually checked the packet of Kettle that I bought and I saw a $4.50 price sticker on it.....oh well...

hm... ya... how can I be so stupid to think that Kettle chips can be so cheap...

I has been bought anyway, so I might as well enjoy it to the fullest...
and indeed, I really enjoyed it. In my opinion, they should adopt KFC's finger-licking-good slogan.
It was so good that I even ripped the packet open and allowed my clean hands to get greasy just to reach the last few pieces of Kettle chips inside there... crunch!nyum! (*you should be salivating by now and maybe have a sudden rush of impulse to get a packet of Kettle chips from your nearby grocery store!)

So, how is Kettle chip different from Lays and Pringles you may asked...
To me, who is a potato lover... Pringles is the least of my favourite... simply because it is made from potato powder and not sliced potato itself (*but that doesnt mean that I will reject a Pringles if you offer me one)

That leaves me with Lays and Kettle... okay, at this point, flavour comes to play...
i have never tasted Honey Dijon before... so i think the unique flavour of Kettle gives it a slight advantage here...

So, here i present you the flattened-and-ripped open packet of Kettle chips that i have just finished...


and you have just wasted your precious time reading this post... i told you already... it is just a random post that i wanted to write.... and i was never paid by Kettle to do this hor....just for fun lah... and actually before this, i have been absent from potato chips for quite sometime due to my cough during the beginning of the semester.

let's stop a while before we move on again

last week was my mid term test week...
didnt really study much n was not satisfied with my own performance...
*not just about grades n marks*
i just feel that i have not put my best effort into my academics
and i think my 3121 project groupmates may not be very impressed with my contribution to the group...
i somehow feel that i'm super lost in the project and only did my minimum...
should really buck up now... should perform better in the next project...
*2 more projects for that module are waiting to come, not to mention the projects from other modules... really going crazy just to think abt it....

lalala...

studies aside,
had quite a jam-packed friday and saturday

friday nite: went out with cousin n cousin-in-law to be
place: clarke quay (Rennthai, cafe iguana)

Saturday afternoon: lunch with lita "belated bdae celebration for her"
place: vivo (thai accent)

satuday evening: Foongyi's bdae celebration
place: pasta de waraku, central; the pump room, clarke quay, east coast park

comments:
*i had 2 that food meals in 2 days, visited clarke quay 2 times in 2 days
*sudden visit to east coast at nite... haha... thanks to yeanching's crazy idea which is quite refreshing indeed... miss that place so much...
*pasta de waraku is nice!! tried the bacon & eggplant pasta...
*foongyi's bdae cake was very nice too! but too full to finish it after so much pasta... haha
*roti john (is that how u write it?) at east coast is yummy too... especially at 1 am when there's no more satay n stingray.. =)


after having so much fun, i think it's time for me to really pay more attention to studies...
have lots of things to catch up after the slightly slacked mid term week... huaaaa
