From where I left off

Alright so somewhere in between that winter break where the friend stayed over, I had orientation ... yup I had to go for yet another orientation! why? because I changed uni's. And its for the last time I promise! hahaha...because finally I am where I have always wanted to be! ok so not always.....but yeah since I was old enough to know all this Uni business. ( voila Jenn there is your answer, that was what the countdown and sneek peak was for.... hahahhaa...not a park and pancakes)

So many booklets and information sheets...honestly how many trees wasted? oh well no choice I suppose. And yup they gave us a lollypop! With uni logo wrapping...weird no? but cool nonetheless.


Alritey moving on.. my aunt decided to kick start my birthday festivities early by paying for my entry ticket to Movie World at the Coast, so off I went after like what? 13 years? Some attractions were way cooler when I was littler BUT I loved all the rides I didn't get to do as a kid! those were wickedly fun!

My personal favourite ride.. The Superman Escape!


Batman Wing

If only i was that brave and drove on real roads! in a real car!
Keepsakes from the trip
On another note, did I mention while browsing thru a lifestyle Sunday market with our visiting guest,my aunt was like Prasaaannnaaaaaaa look what I found!!!... and I am getting it for you! hehehe...

Alright I shall continue. Following a hectic,busy, tiring yet FUN filled, adventurous winter break,some of my friends who had gone off to different places to have their break came back.And the very next day I think, we all met up for a lunch hang out session followed by 'Dancing on the street' at Southbank in the city. As usual we were shrieking and laughing and giggling trying to all tell our holiday tales and catch up.
Hmmm lets see then what happened? oh yes then the week-end before uni re-opened my uncle took us to a Chinese Restaurant called Landmark for Yum cha(Dim sum). We had to wait an hour in line to be seated!Yup its that popular! Surely enough the food was good! and the variety was amazing. But it had its flaws..the MAJOR flaw was that the service was utterly horrible!! they couldn't handle the big crowd! On top of that the lunch cost my uncle a bomb! hahahaha...big hole in his pocket!

The looooooooooooooong queue
Food...The fried and steamed stuff...ermmm and I think the freakish tripe is there in the pic...the one thing I would never touch!
Veggies in soy sauce, Roast duck and stuffed brinjal
My personal favourite for the day, Scallop coated in melted cheese
We had all the other traditional yum cha stuff too like prawn dumplings, yam cake,"su mai" and etc. The pictures are really bad because I didn't have my camera with me, they were taken with my phone.
And of course EGG TART the perfect ending
Well people, I think that's all for the overdue posts from winter break. Much has happened since uni has started. It's like week 5 now!! and I will be having 3 mid-sem and one of the 4 mini exams for Micro over the next two weeks! so the birthday post would have to wait! till then, take care all and God bless!
