feels like id once again.

had a thonning session at my groupleader's house on thurs.. all 3 of us were rushing the powerpoint presentation. i was more or less in charge of doing it. but dunno y, i took so long and my thoughts were still mangled. jef did the visuals fast n nice..and continued to read some scientific research articles.. while marc did flash for the scenario of use. i felt quite inefficient.

at around 4ish-5 am, we decided all to go to bed..for we were supposed to reach school at 8am to rush our prototype in time for the presentation at 12noon.

its kinda tiring.. but it was nice to see all of us puttin effort and time in it. i tink the group dynamics is actually better now just with the 3 of us. just that i tink i let my brain rest too long for the past 2 months.. its not very good anymore.

i must get back in work mode asap.

wake up call.

...

one groupmate quitted the course. now we are down to 3 of us.

these are the 'weeds' in nl. why are weeds here so pretty?

The most happening thing (after carnaval) that happened in eindhoven. a car race just outside the school!

this is how they pack bikes in nl. like sardines, up there and down there.

domesticated dutch boys(esp jeff!) peeling potatoes skilfully

giant sausages fr hema, this is how you cook bloemkemsomething. (p.s/was surprised to know dutch cuisine do exist! and it's not mashed potatoand pea soup. btw touched by my grpmates effort to cook it fr scratch(: )

This is it! Traditional way of eating it: Dig a hole in your mash like a volcano, pour in the gravy, stack the sausage on top and Enjoy!

side project: baking with instant brownie mix for Jeff's bday! i helped too!

Ta dah! (my idea to use my liquorice string candy to make his name! nice rite? ahha)

i think he's so touched he's stoned.




old photos that deserve a place here.

hallo again.

havent been blogging lately. must be the unattractive thought from too many photos to sort through... and as someone said before, 'live the moment' rather than taking photos for memory. i begged to differ but i think im slowly living the moment more. maybe i have lived those moments before...so to look at it again is rather repetitive. but some moments are meant to be re-lived again. hmm ok i sound gibberish. ahaha.

ok no link to what i said previously. heres some highlights of my belgium trip 060407-090407 (ups and downs)
brussels:

The old skool waffle van. I wish this was my Yellow School Bus. (:

there must be some magic in this dough. cuz it tastes nothing like the singapore waffles. its like caramelised dough or smt.1.50 euros worth it siah.

toast to madeinbelgium waffles!


this cool creeper that crept nicely onto the wall.

i love looking for tin tin walls(among several other comic walls that comes as a kinder suprise pop out fr nowhere)..this is one of the better ones..with a realy good setting

i want my transport to look this wicked.

old skool smurf from country of origin! la la lalala, lalalala~

the friggin huge bowl of mussels(YAYS!) which i had part of the set course (free rose beer, fries and apple crumble) fr the frigging cheaterbug cheat my money bad service brussels touristy restaurant. Promised 14 euros then later charge at 20euros. somemore manager give lame reason "cuz u take so long to order" what crap. so pissed i threw mussel shells onto the floor. and the napkin too. LOL. Daniel, rem to post their photo on net and warn ppl!

bruggs:

belgium is famous for beer and...

This is what they call "Thick fat greasy fries".

after eating all the overpriced frites in belgium, i (had the craving) and decided to make my own frites from dutchkantang!complete with mayo! too bad i scalded my hand with the spattering oil. The price to pay for happy comfort food (:

Room service

made one of those singapore childhood/old school tidbit pack for my dutch grpmates and friends for easter(thanks sis for helping me buy n lugging all the way here!)


so far, white rabbit sweet, apollo chocolate wafer, mamee, wang wang potato ball went down well with them.

hawflakes are strangest to them(just like liquorice to me)

"...it tastes just like chips..."

easteratbelgium

back from belgium!
as u can see, im getting too lazy to post any photos or comments about it. (after the last conscientious entries on spain)

i shall attempt to summarise my belgium trip in a(long)sentence.

brussels(too touristy - blahh), brugg(nice but quiet - but can go), ghent(lovely; old and new, my fave), antwerp (good for shopping only) and metros and trams are FREE!

lol.

remind me to complain about our bad dinner experience at brussels!

feels like home

yesterday i heard some grass cutters mowing the field just outside my apartment.
the sound was so familiar.
felt like im back in clementi.
lol.
