Yes yes, no posts for very long. I have july and august to catch up with, i know i know.
This is the july post, although it's already september now. Finally have a bit of free time, after some bloody hectic stressful weeks.
Oh ya, a big joke at the end of the post, i just had to laugh at it so badly.
Shall get the ball rolling...
-
First week of july. As usual, dates are as watermarked on the images.
I like the veggies inside... (I wished there were more pasta though. And also better if the overall could be less salty.)
The as-usual pretty tampines north (ikea/giant/courts) sunset!
Bought some boxes from ikea. Yay. My crafty stuffs packed inside.
Dug my old stuffs. Can compare leh, LOLS we looked cuter in the past, too bad. Hahahahs my bro had the "twinkle twinkle little star" on his shirt...
Finally got to return to popeyes for their super-yummy whipped potatoes. Tried their fried fish (instead of their signature fried chicken, which i thought was so-so), was surprisingly refreshing. Unlike those hard exterior of long john's fried fish, this is very soft on the outside and juicy inside.
IMO, i'm sorry to say that the mcd's cinnamon melts is totally not nice! LOLS. (Btw there is no grammar error above with the "is" bcus "cinnamon melts" is the name of one single dish, that's what i decided. Lols really what, technically correct though it looks weird.)
It's way too absurd, i thought. I always liked cinnamon buns, but this was disappointing. It felt like some microwaved frozen-tiny-plain-breads, with some white icing and brown cinnamon syrup - pathetic HA HA. Overly sweet too. What i was looking for, was nice and fragrance bread baked with cinnamon (not syrup simply poured over it). Okie not mcd's fault. My bad okie? For looking at the wrong thing. Since many people claimed it's nice. *skeptically shudders*
For birthday post, refer two posts below/previous (dated 15jul09).

Mid-july.
Sly-faced cat on the rock. LOLS WTF.
Bought peaches! And they look like butts on the exterior. -__- (Refer left image.) Look like apple on the inside though. (Refer right image.)
I've figured out a good way to remove stems from shiitake mushrooms. Somehow there's a way to twist it, and the stem will come out very clean.
I bought cakes from royals cafe again! Inexpensive and very yummy. From left, apple crumble and carrot cake.
This is a boliao image of some student cards ha ha.
School changed logos - and we have to change our cards too. The comparison between old (left) and new (right) logos on the cards. Honestly, i prefer the old logo. What's with the short forms "NAFA" and "南艺" on the new logo, zzz. I feel that the new one is kinda fugly, i'm sorry.
Paktor, went the cathay to watch movie. Circled in red, was our seat. The cathay is good, it has darn lots of couple seats leh. More than 20 pairs of them can sit there, walao. Watched harry potter (half blood prince, 6th book). I have complains on the movie. Mmm. The movie is misleading, cus people who don't read the books don't understand the plot and the connection between other series. For me, i have read all the hp books long ago and like the whole story (7 books) a lot, the plot is deep and meaningful, the final book links everything up together. And i find that, the movie has a number of crucial parts different from the original story leh, wtf. It also has wrong focus, too much irrelevant scenes that waste time (2+ hours, already too short to contain the whole storyline, they still wanna waste it).
Ha ha sorry for whining.
Dinner yay.
=D

Late july.
I love my cat.
The proof-of-no-fever-so-you-can-enter-campus stickers stuck onto the traffic light right in front of campus, during the h1n1 times.
LOLS i bought royals cafe's cakes again, again. Cranberry brownie (left) and walnut brownie (right) this time round, takeaways.
Heated up the brownie and topped it with some cheap vanilla ice cream bought during bday. Heavenly, muahahahs.
Malay weddings at void decks are really very nicely decorated nowadays. This was at my void deck, back view. Sibei nice.
First day of class after the holidays. Saw these fast food names on the table.
Saw this text too. Too blurred, hence i captioned it so you can see. I highly suspect this is referring to veron. *cough cough*
Some random thing on the wall.
School changed new computers for us. But felt so stupid, cus we can't find the button to switch on the computer, with attempts to press the cpu EVERYWHERE. Hahahahs wtf there isn't any real button leh. It turns out that the "on" button is the one, as circled in red.
This is boliao-ism: a supposedly pokka bottle shape.
Ate haagan dazs with old pal, since i have a 25% discount voucher from my bday feast. I can't remember the names of the flavours. They didn't leave long impressions i guess, other than being severely overpriced. All i remembered was the almond flakes, really unique, damn it... Thin and crispy, so far the best ones i've ever eaten. Not exaggerating though.
Here comes the big joke. MUAHAAHS.
There was this brochure thing introducing haagan dazs' new apricot ice cream flavour on the table, as shown below. (Apologies for the random hair strands at the top left corner.)
It has a fashion illustration by a NAFA fashion student. (I don't care that she's in the same institution as me, but we're from totally different departments/campuses anyway.)
I am one who never appreciates the need of having education for fashion.
So we went on to criticise how the dress is not exactly nice and the shoes don't match the dress, stuffs like that, talking from a non-fashion-orientated peeps' point-of-view.
Suddenly, i began to spot some very weird stuffs.
We discussed how the fingers look weird somehow. Never mind about this, this is minor.
OH WTF this is major. Still can't spot it? Look at the toes.
That big toe of her right leg (left of image) is placed wrongly... It should be inside, not outside. Refer to your right leg's toes. Walao eh fatal mistake leh, sibei xiasuay leh, nobody actually noticed this when they allow this to be mass published???

Okie august up next, of course.
Oh jialat i'm sleepy already (despite enjoying a more-than-12-hours of sleep last night).
I think i need to find some way to overcome my chronic sleepiness.

Three random issues before the next upcoming july post.
Yes yes i've prepared the images, but not yet posted.
-
The fast food double-syndrome is back again! This time it's back on a smaller scale, with only one of their burgers on focus.
Yes, it's between the same old mcdonald's and burgerking again.
It's aka what's with the huge and overpriced burgers promoted at the same time by two different companies?
Here's the take:
Mcdonald's double filet-o-fish.
Burgerking's double whopper jr.
What a game, similar promotions running currently.
I don't believe in pure coincidence for the second time, do you? It's reasonable enough to conclude the possibility of one copying the other. Just that i can't decide who copied who.
-
Anyway, have you seen the osim advertisement? The massage chair with that cat and dog. LOLS "meow~" no, not helping them advertise here obviously.
I just want to say that i like the animals there... Hhaahahs. Funny.
It's a small maltese with a bigger american shorthair.
American shorthair~ Must be bloody expensive? Cus all american shorthairs are pedigreed cats, btw. But seems like it's not a real-expensive breed in the usa (since it's not really unique in terms of characteristics), unlike the longhaired ragamuffin and the super-rare egyptian mau. However, it wouldn't be cheap to get one in singapore, anyway.
Images' source. Actually the stocky american shorthair looks kind of good. I like the thick fur (it's low maintenance though) and that patch of "white scarf" at the neck area~
Okie so this is the adv you can recap.
It has a weird visual effect. Cus normally people pair a big dog with a smaller cat. This has a small dog with a bigger cat. -_-
But i do not like all sorts of felines or all breeds of cats. For instance, i find two particular breeds extremely disturbing.
Seriously, they freak me out.
Bengal: The leopard look-alike (due to cross-breeding) is the most expensive cat in the world. Can't help feeling that it'll chew raw meat in huge chunks, although i know that they require no special diet at all. -_- Just like normal cat, but looks too fierce leh. It is a large breed, probably due to it's genes. Sphinx: Hairless. Sorry it's really weird and freaky in my opinion, what more can i say?
What breeds i find interesting?
Scottish fold (lg's favourite~): It has this comical fat-face and eyes-too-round, which initially i thought some idiot went to photoshop all the images at the wiki page. -___- Main characteristic also includes the folded-ears.
Sorry, they are borned to look funny. LOLS.
Munchkin: The ultimate short-legs.
Click on image to watch video, but i'm sure many have watched this before.
Me likes affection black cats. =D Mainly because i ever interacted with two particular black cats in the past.
-
Okie that's all. Good night - it's late, or early.
July content will be next but need to wait.
If i'm not wrong, 12oct09 would be the 1000th day together. Zzz.
Night night love you.

Foodilicious nineteen.
Didn't have celebrations on the day itself. Actually no celebrations at all lar, but little nice outings which i've enjoyed. =)

04jul09. Bishan, to go spca later.
Looks really good.
Tomato-flavoured rice. =D
No, he was not opening some ketchup or chilli sauce sachet. LOLS just freezing and holding onto utensils in a weird way, waiting for me to be done with photo-takings. I intended for candid shots, and it's not that candid now lols.
Circle line!
Okie, still excited even though i've already known that the train's interior is very similar to north-east purple line (cus they are produced from the same manufacturer), it's just that the circle-line train has only three carriages instead of the normal six.
To bartley station from bishan was kind of fast.
Went spca! But ironically, i did not take any pictures there. LOLS weird, you might think.
Generally there, it's a hostel for lazy sleeping cats and noisy barking dogs, and also bochap/emotionless-looking bunnies. Hahahahhahs...
Bartley road.
My birthday walnut brownies. =D Happy happy. Tasted well, albeit slightly overcooked. (Image is original, not photoshopped or what, although the white background looks kind of artificial. Taken with outdoor lighting and phone flash.)
Looking at the blanga who had a shirt over his head?
Went work. And decided to get some toppings (for my brownies) before heading home. It was already rather late. Really hard to buy stuffs at that kind of time.
Cats lazing when it was nearly midnight.
LOLS there were two mini chocolate swiss rolls waiting for me at home. Though i've made my stand to ma for the n-th time that i do not like swiss rolls at all. Anyway i may be picky, but never fussy(gonna be my personal quote very soon yay). So i will still eat things that i may not like. Lols i try to reduce wastage most of the time.
Like since most neighbourhood shops were closing, the first place i went was 7-11. There wasn't any small ice cream tubs other than the milo, so i bought it since it taste good enough on its own even if i don't use it for topping the brownie.
After that i went to try luck at a half-closed minimart, which had a really cheap ice cream of unknown brand, but wth it's only $1.60 man zzz. Image below. And btw the cheapo ice cream tasted just like wall's.
Picture appears to be foggy cus it's taken in the freezer~ Lols.
Here's what i did.
Start of with a slice of brownie. (The first time i ate a triangle brownie cus it's normally of rectilinear forms. But triangle ones look more special wor. =D)
Then, add the vanilla ice cream. Couldn't find my ice cream scoop somehow, so bobian used a plastic soup ladle, hence the shape isn't so nice but that doesn't matter lar lols.
Added some gummy bears on top for fanciful purposes. It was hard to take this shot because the bears keep sliding down. -_- And the ice cream was melting soon.
Another view of done topped brownie.
Actually it's not a good idea to put gummy bears. The coldness will make the bears harden and not chewy.
Boliao playing with the coloured bears.
Revising my loots of the day.
Lg's donation for spca, which i got to choose a keychain to keep. And a very cute mos burger miniature from a capsule machine LOLS. The burger was so overpriced that the both things above cost the same zzz.
The back view of the keychain and card accompanied with it.
And btw, no. I've always disliked spca for some reasons since two years ago. I do not agree with the way they handle things and probably their policies. HOWEVER, i do not condemn the animals in spca, since the animals are obviously innocent. Ha ha.

05jul09.
I am so glad that flobby is officially two years old! YAY.
Bro treated pizzahut delivery for lunch. (Lols like somehow, every year i get pizzahut delivery for bday zzzzz.) Anyway, ocean catch is nice with scrumptious sotong rings, shrimps and tuna, plus the yummy lime-mayo base~
Anyway, i find singapre art museum (sam) unimpressive and uninspiring, as compared to national museum of singapore (nms). Although the lose-out in terms of architecture is not their fault (nat-museum really has the wow-factor in terms of architecture), the exhibits in the sing-art galleries is kind of disappointing. Mmm...
Always wanted to try the mini crab snacks, but never did. However, it appeared as one of the gifts yay. I've always wondered how would it taste - and does it break the teeth to eat it? LOLS.
And especially my zodiac is crab (cancer), somehow it's weird that i like crabs (includes both drawing and eating crab).
Cartoon crabs are sadden by the fact that humans eat them. BTW, this illustration is incorrect. As in, it depicts crabs with 6 normal legs and 2 claws. The truth is that, crabs have 8 normal legs and 2 claws; this is a very common confusion.
I've heard before something like: you can tell the gender from the abdomen, it's a male if it's sharp, and a female if it's rounded. I found two kinds of tummy in the packet of crabs. Initially, i thought one must be the male, one must be the female.
However, after checking some info from here/here/here, i might be wrong. The sharper abdomen could possibly be a immatured female crab, since a male abdomen should be much more narrower like a bunsen burner (lols).
Wa, so the whole packet might be made of all female crabs (matured and immatured ones).
Btw forgot to mention how the mini crabs tasted like.
Eh, it's very very very similar to the m'sia ikan satay, in terms of taste and texture. Image taken from the net(pun not intended).

12jul09, exactly one week belated.
A bday treat at haagan dazs by colleague. A decent friend who can talk a lot with.
Funny sia. He was telling the staff that it was my birthday today, and hinting if we can get something special like extra ice cream or what.
Partially lying, mmm. Ya this was meant for my birthday, but my bday was already over for seven days, LOLS.
Anyway we didn't get extra ice cream. We got a surprise wafer fan biscuit, with "happy birthday" written in chocolate syrup, like lols sia. But anyway it was on the wrong dish, but the "happy bday" text is facing me still~ Lols.
He got the chocoholic, while i had the berry cool(a very zzz name). LOLS cus only took picture when we had eaten one-quarter, the wafer was already gone into the stomach (gave the "happy" to him, while i took the "birthday" ha). So i used the power of graphic editting LOLS, to show how it was supposed to look like. It was on the whipped cream.
Lols due to occupational habit 职业病, the whipped cream looks very much like used tissue blob!
So this is how it is supposed to look like: Internet images taken from here and here.
I would say haagen dazs is severly overpriced. -_- Ben&jerry's at least seems more reasonable.
-
That's why i said it was a foodilicious nineteen. Lots of things to eat. Lols!
