Finally able to squeeze some time out to blog. It's been a real busy week. Seems like I can only afford to blog once a week.
So this post is going to consist of many activities I've done over the week.

Starting from Tuesday...

We had Subaru Challenge briefing at Mediacorp in the evening. So after school...

Went to Old School Delights at Upper Thomson Road with Cherlyn, Naz, Peimin and Wei Liang!!!

Yay one more place striked off my to-eat list!!!

I was super disappointed when Naz and Peimin told me that it was closed on Tuesday. But nevertheless, we still went to Upper Thomsom Road to see if there were other good food places to try.

And when we walked past Old School Delights...

It was open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Totally made my day!

The cafe is set like a school canteen, with wooden tables and chairs, and their handwritten menu on the blackboard. There's also this section where they test how "old school" you are.

I'm a total sucker for places with cool ambiance. Food comes second.

And they provide card games for us to play with! Card games meaning donkey. Definitely attracted some attention. And when Naz screamed so loud, people were staring even harder. HAHAHA.

They don't have much choices in their menu, but I felt like trying everything!

So I finally decided on the laksa. Not very wise of me cos I was having a bad gastric for the past few days. But I couldn't care anymore. But back to the food, not bad, but Katong Laksa's still the best yo! And milo powder nomnomnom.
The others tried the mee siam and macaroni. But apparently Wei Liang thought that the mee siam was below standard. It was supposed to be their best!!!

Dessert's always a must, so we ordered the... I can't remember what's it called.

The one on the right is just full chocolate. And the left's chocolate fudge with banana cake. And I loved that!!! I guess everyone else did too. It was awesomeeeeeeee.

Thumbs up to the food, ambiance, service and the price! (Y)(Y)(Y)

After that was Subaru Challenge briefing as I was saying. Yada yada, the same as last year.

And after that... Impromptu trip to Dhoby Ghaut for Rocher Tauhuey!!!

Best way to end the night and the last day of school for that week!!! :)

So if you're wondering why I said "last day of school"...

I just came back from a 2D1N study trip to KL with DEPM!!!

Had to reach school at 7am on Thursday morning and sit the 44 seater coach all the way up MINES KL.

No doubt we were all complaining how uncomfortable it was, and how much we missed our 5-star bus we took on our last trip to Genting.

Finally reached KL after a long 6 hours ride. #buttnumb

Had our lunch at espresSOUP before our tour at MINES.

Maybe it's just me being very impatient, but I was really quite peeved at how inefficient the people were in preparing our food. I had to question them for my food before they started preparing it. Omg and not to mention that we were rushing for time. So much for "espres".

But okay chilling point is that, check this out!!!

I believe we have this in Singapore, but damn I just want to try it!

Pumpkin soup in my bread bowl~ I could do with one right now.

And here's the salad that TOOK FOREVER TO COME.

Then we embarked on our 4 hour crash course learning journey at MINES.

And we witnessed the opening ceremony of some sports event there. We got to meet the Minister (not like I can even remember his name) and took picture with a rather ugly mascot.

And I like this picture even though we all look quite stupid. HAHAHA.

And the official itinerary of our KL trip is over. In just barely 4 hours.

But there was a really bad jam on our way to the hotel...

So our dear Peimin fell asleep and I was trying to snap photos of her.

When she suddenly woke up and scared all 3 of us. Epic moment.

And after a 1 hour plus of jam, we finally reached our hotel...

Super shiok beds!!! As I see this picture, I wish I can run to my room and lie on my bed too hawhawhaw.

Okay, so bed aside, the rest of the evening was spent shopping at Times Square again (after a month) and eating A&w!!!

Enjoyed the bed for a night and overslept in the morning ooooops.

Breakfast at the hotel was bad.

Had a half day KL city tour. I believe that this trip is more of a shopping trip. (Forget about the 6 projects we have to do after coming back to Singapore)

Visited the Chocolate factory that sold chocolates at ridiculously high prices such that majority didn't buy anything and everyone was on the bus in less than 15 minutes.

Then we visited the Sultan Palace and did a ridiculous jumpshot in front of the royal gates.

We are awesome.

Okay, last picture I have for the KL trip. Before returning to Singapore, we had another shopping trip at Times Square and I've learnt my lesson of not bringing my camera around lest I suffer another backache.

And I got my new soft toy! Super cute pinch pinch *poke belly button*
I was very determined this time to get a soft toy so that I could hug something on my way back to make the trip more tolerable.

I think coming back from Malaysia would be the only time I'm happy to be back in Singapore. I abhor the traffic in KL. It's so bad and makes me feel unsafe.

Oh and talking about 3G...

K anyway, the weekends was spent busy busy busy.

Marshaling at Subaru Challenge!!!

Had to work from 3pm till 11pm on Saturday and 7am to 3pm on Sunday.
Could feel that my feet, my knees and my upper body were of separate entities on their own.

But each year I go for the event, makes me motivated to join as a contestant one day.

I must be too free.

Or at least... wait till I finish my countless number of tutorials and projects we have on hand.

This shall last me till... Next year.

Alright. End of my lengthy post.

See you guys next week.
