Post Exam Dinner

Hi guys! Can you feel the excitement in me? I've officially finished my last paper today! Although it was a killer paper, I'm still glad that I survived through these 5 papers! Had dinner with my friends after the paper, but sadly, RC and Casan didn't join us cause they were really tired. It's okay, we'll have a picnic soon! So 7 of us squeezed into Faiz's car and we went to Simpang Bedok for dinner! I really have no idea where that place was, but there are many stalls selling food. We settled for Malay food in the end. I really love Muslim food, especially nasi briyani, but I ordered murtabak in the end, and it didn't disappoint. Didn't get to take much pictures with all of them though, cause the place was really warm. Will make up with tons of pictures the next time we hang out! 
Alright, here are some of the pictures that I took!

Say bye to our exam venue in the East

My Awesome Friends!

I only managed to take a picture of Zul's omelette rice and my Murtabak. The murtabak was really yummy! I love the chicken fillings. Just that the curry was tad salty in my opinion. Other than that, it's good!

I didn't get the address of the place, but there are lots of stalls along the street. I guess most of the stalls are good, oh, and I remember that the signboard of the restaurant that we dined at is green in colour. So do look out for it if you want to head to this stall. 

Alright, that's about all that I have for this post, and I gotta google how to drive to East Coast Park later, cause Shiyan and I will be heading to ECP to cycle! So I'll be back with more!

Meanwhile, have a good rest and be all recharged for a day of work/school tomorrow!

Love,
Su Shan

How I spent my Thursday

TGIF people! Although I'm cooped at home for the whole day, I still hope that all of you will have a great time out today! Alright, time is running short. I have less than a week to the first paper in my first year of uni. Alright, honestly speaking, I'm not taking it very seriously because I intend to change school and course. Well, I know it's kind of a random decision, afterall I haven't gone for the exams and who knows? I might fare well right? Hah. However, I think this decision of me applying to another school will be a right one. At least I'm doing something that I like.

Okay, back to the topic, what I did on Thursday. Met up with my friends for a study session at the other ulu campus. The place is really quiet and super little people will hang out there, so it's a good place to study at if you have the transport there. Some pictures that I took. 

Met RC and JY earlier for a heavy breakfast. (My fav zhajiangmian) Too awesome!

After waiting for about an hour, he finally came....

And off we went!

We managed to book a discussion room at the library


 Miss RC, our teacher of the day

Our messy table that housed 6 people. Heh

After studying for a few hours, we decided that we should have a break, and have some food! So we ordered Mac Delivery! The very bo liao Mr Dex actually made an effort to arrange 14 packets of chilli sauce nicely. Kudos to his effort, and boliao-ness.

Yea, one and only picture of me that day!

Alright, just one more picture of my studded pocket

 And so, after studying for awhile more, we decided that we needed some entertainment. This is Faiz's chinese name. Wee Shiun literally translated his name into these chinese characters. So creative, but I must say that his handwriting is really quite nice. Hah.

We studied till about 7pm, and left the place. I went off to meet Jasmine for a really impromptu dessert date. Saw her tweet that she wanted dessert, and since I was gonna be home alone, I joined her! 

My dessert date :)

Awesome dessert that contains grass jelly, yam Q, pearls, sweet potato balls, some black sugar jelly and shaved ice. I remember having these yam balls when I was in Taiwan. It somewhat tastes similar, but less sweet than those that I had there. You must eat it with the shaved ice, if not the yam ball itself will be quite bland. However, it's still nice. If you want to have a taste of the very famous Taiwan Jiufen yam balls, this can be an alternative.

We decided to go for prata at Al Ameen since we haven't been there for such a long time. We set off to Al Ameen happily, but we left being extremely dissatisfied customers. Why? Because their standards dropped tremendously. The cheese prata that we ordered was overly rubbery and salty, and the mee goreng was too salty as well. I remembered that they used to serve yummy pratas. What happened? Oh man, the only saving grace was the curry. 

Lots of varieties, but not nice. (Well, at least those that we ordered wasn't nice)

Cheese prata. Looks good, but looks can be deceiving. Boohoo. 

Salty Mee goreng

I'm not sure if the other patrons felt that the food wasn't as good as last time, but Jas and I definitely felt so. We're off in search for other good prata places. Any recommendations?

Al Ameen Eating House - Bukit Timah

 And to make things worse, we never put car coupon cause it was already at night, and I really didn't think that the parking attendant would come at that timing. Being very suay that day, we got a $30 summon. Totally not worth it at all. We totally felt like crying on the spot. Manz. No choice, just take it as a lesson learnt. BOOHOOO! :(

But I still must thank Jas for the ride home, and she's really a steady female driver. So am I. Heh. *Winks* So don't stereotype all female drivers anymore! Heehee! More of such supper dates soon! 

Alright, I shall end my post here. Remember to give the dessert a try!
