today met up with Roy and Dom at our fave hangout place –Kennisporte for lunch. Both of them spent 3 yrs in tu/e and always tot it was expensive but hey we spent 3 days in tu/e and discovered this cheap cafeteria lol. Soup cost abt 40 cents euros and bread 20 cents. Much much cheaper than the ID cafeteria.


What can you do with white eggs?


Today is also the final day of the Activities Week(a more academic id-ish orientation week)Supposed to design a poster and a product for Raymond Loewy to be displayed during Exposition. The artistic id vibe is really much much stronger here. I feel sorry for our pathetic nus studio. My group was a relaxed lot, so instead of designing a new product in loewy’s style; we did an installation as a “tribute” to loewy. (What a way to smoke through. But it works. This coach was commenting that its ‘original’. hehs) Eggs - He once said- possessed the perfect shape, the black thing the streamline depiction.

Glad Munyee was able to find out from her friend the administrator password so now my laptop is ok! I tink I almost shriveled to death in my self-pity.Since me and my housemate had no internet, we watched The Mexican on his laptop in our common living room, complete with beer(he drank, not me) and chips and popcorn. My stomach was growling throughout the movie. My nice housemate said my stomach is trying to tell me something and then he made me a cheese sandwich. Haha

(Okay a really badly exposed photo. lol)

8Feb This is what I call snow.

YAY! First sight of snow! It tasted like rainwater. Lol.Me, kitty and munyee discovered the goodness of vending machines which offer free hot drink(hot chocolate etc) and even hot tomato soup! At the doctor’s clinic. Yums! Esp when its free. HahaJoyce was nice enough to stay over with me for the night. And yays! I discovered I have ONE housemate – a Turkish guy called U-mit(hmm dunno the spelling) Okay good. Now I know there’s another human in the house. (:

7 Feb While I was sleeping…

Apparently, it snowed a little during the night. Here’s some remnants of the possibly freezing night. Joyce went ballistic over the little white leftovers.

P.s/ Tried to buy green beans to make green bean soup dessert. The guy gave me green peas. :D

Was supposed to move into my hostel today but it was so old, empty and ulu. I abandoned my luggage and stayed over at joyce’s for the night. Absolutely creepy.

6Feb Dinner at Daniel’s (with Joyce, Simon, Fulin, Shoonghong -Kumar)

Simon(Dan’s Polish housemate) cooked his traditional Polish dish with lotsa cabbage, salted veggie, lotsa tomatoes, some unknown sausage(he said “dun ask what, I dunno” lol) and we ate it with bread, not together, to be eaten separately. Simon is very adorable, I heard he started preparing to cook since 3pm(dinner was 6ish) so that everything will be nicely soft. This dish is those Mummy’s dish whereby they dump leftovers to cook together and can be served over a few dinners. Its amazing how Mummys of the world have such recipes to make good use of everything. Think fried rice in Asian societies

How do you know if your food is cooked?

When the food starts getting on the brown side, take a piece and try.
Food is almost always guaranteed cooked when they are black.

-4 Feb

Beware!
Contrary to my belief, karnemelk (buttermilk) is not sweet nor taste like butterscotch as its name sounds. More like 3day old milk left in the open. in singapore.

Good thing is that I got me and kitty skinny straws(actually im not even sure if they r straws) and the drink made us full for the rest of the day.


Fried stuff with cheese inside is always welcome (:

Yes... I have arrived!
