Sunday, April 29, 2007 ~Where do i start~ Yeap. Alotta things have happened since i last posted. and Boy do i enjoy updating each subsequent post with a super duper long essay! woot! Things im gonna be touching on this post would be.. *drum roll* NUS, work, Army and Fishball noodles! Yes It does some like a lethal combination doesnt it? Almost enough to give you a brain hamerohage. (Mmm.. i might need one soon. The Alcoholic shooter. not the actual thing. Im not that insane just yet) NUS After 4 days of waiting ever since other friends got their admission letters, and Almost giving up hope, i received a call from an unknown number one fine working friday. thinking it was a business call, i addressed the other party with my best business tone. The following briefly goes thru the animated conversation. Me: Hello? Admin: Hi! Is this Mr. Samuel Sim Zen Fang? (Yes it sounded like that) Me: Yes. Who's this? Admin: Oh this is *so & so* from NUS Faculty of Engineering. (cant blame me for forgetting her name. After this conversation i was more than ready to throttle the entire admin dept of NUS responsible for issuing the admission letters.) Me: Yes*anticipation*....... What's this about? Admin: Oh! I just want to ask if u received our letter of admission. Me: Letter of admission? What Letter of admission?! You Mean im SUPPOSED to receive the letter of admission?! Admin: Yes Sir! But we have alot of problems in our department and alot of the letters haven't been sent out. Me: *Silence* Admin: Anyway, ignore the letter about the talk on.. Me: Hang on does this mean im accepted? Admin: Well, you gotta fill in some forms first and request for.... (I cant believe the technicality of her answer man..) Well, thats basically the crux of it. I found out my acceptance into NUS by some administrative bueracrat. The least i expected was a congratulations.. but NOOO.. i had to instead receive an earful abt forms i had to fill up. -.- And lets not even touch about how antagonising the wait was. I'm sure there are peeps out there who can relate. =] Anyhow, Getting into NUS is nothing short of God's grace. =] He plans out the path for me, and i draw from His courage to walk it. This gift has affected my educational decision and much is yet to be seen on the final outcome. 65% chance, im gonna be seeing you buggers after NS. =] National Service Ah yes. I'm writing the final few lines in this chapter of life. The summary, conclusion, the end. Next chapter awaits. Where boys become men. In the green. And in Pasir Ris Camp. none the less. Weeks after the vocational assesement, MINDEF decides this nutty blogger is nutty enough for the red berets. i can almost hear them saying "That guy ah! Physically okay! Can do a fair number of pull ups. IQ test also fairly good. Good! thinking solider what we need! Mental Test did rather well. Looks like he can cope with stress ah! Interview also seems impressive. Seems like he'll make an ideal, mentally stable soldier. Now lets pack a parachute on his back and throw him outta a perfectly good aeroplane!" For those who wish to send me off: 13 July 2007, 8am Pasir Ris Camp I need photos to paste in my closet. Last chance to take photo of me with hair. hahaha! Damn im tired. i'll leave the fishball to some other day. I still haven compiled the necessary photos i want. I will however, leave you with a few random pictures.  Random Pic taken on the way back from church. After MANY attempts. I'll quote her on this. " Actions of a deprived childhood" Posing. Failing(?) The Cut.  Spongebob's Land Cousin! The resemblence is Uncanny!
Sunday, April 08, 2007 Holla! Yeap, im back for a post.. after a nasty bout of the flu none the less, Thanks for ur well wishes peeps, i AM fine now. *sniff* Healed By The Blood Of Jesus! Hallelujah! Gosh.. im actually molting now.. sunburnt since last sat, and only taking effect now.. fantastic.. my skin's core drive must be running on a pentium one processor. Anyhow, This post isnt going to be about my fantastic lobster bisque coloured skin, BUT, it will touch on the subject of food! Yes mateys! You're witnessing History in the making, Hurray Hurray Hurray! Yeap, i had wanted to reccomend food places, and heres my Very first one. KOK KEE WANTON NOODLES I don't suppose this local favourite needs any formal introduction, but just to expand the word count, here goes. Wanton Noodles: Boiled egg noodles served with char siew(Roasted pork) and meat/shrimp stuffed dumplings. The 2 different kinds of wanton noodles you can find in Singapore is those that are served dry with dark soya sauce of chilli( more common), or with a heavenly stock(which this stall falls under). Usual condiments are vegetables and if ur lucky, pork lard (Don't shoot me down just yet. You silly sods have no idea the different level of taste those little things bring) Personally, i've been eating at this store ever since i was erm.. round would be a good describtion here.  TaDA! What 4 dollars will buy you. Noodles cooked to almost perfection. Very Q and almost brings a nostalgic Al Dante feel.  Here's it's close up. Mouth watering eh.. What i like about it: The noodle blends perfectly with the sauce. Everything comes together for an ALMOST perfect harmony. What i DONT like about it: The char siew, tho self made, doesnt have enuff fat on it. Personally, i like mine to be barbequed to give the whole dish a smoky flavour. The noodles is generous with the 4 dollar order, but condiments are given very 'giam siap'-ly  4 Dollars and 2 wanton only?! WHAT THE WANTON RIGHT?*no the writer did not DID NOT sneaked any while u werent looking* Anywayz, still earns from me a respectable 4/5 stars, cos that sauce is just finger er suckin' good. (I will not put myself under infringement from copyright laws) Word of caution. Go at night. Personally had a bad experience of walking for 10 minutes to the hawker centre from my workplace in the mid-day heat only to find the store wasnt open. Twice. IF ur lucky enuff tho, be plagued by the eternal queue!  This is 2pm on a lucky afternoon. Go figure how its gonna be at night. Lavender Food court, 01-06 you cant miss it. Happy hunting! =] |
