oh well...o-level chinese results finally released. It was really sad though, to see some friends really upset about their results. Really felt like crying then too. sigh...Exams should indeed be abolished...(which is what we're debating about tomorrow). Gives the students too much trauma, don't you think so?

aniwae, whoever reads this and is unhappy abt. his or her results, don't despair. Really. Life's not only about results. However clich� this might sound, there are other more important things, like friendship and all. And your whole life isn't gonna be ruined by one exam ok?

yup..cheer up everyone=)

*sob* left my history notes in school in the clc...after debate..=( *sob*...and history test is tomorrow!! at least i saved one of it in the com. all is not lost. sigh...oh well..have an excuse if i flunk this test..hmm...

had a food critic session with val, ad and sunny today at Nooch, the noodle bar..the one at Wheelock Place

Ordered 3 dishes:
1) Chicken with basil, served with rice and a fried egg
2) Chicken Salad
3) Beef Noodle Soup

cost a total of $28.61 in total...quite reasonable for a meal of 4, dun u think?

service was not bad at all...we told the staff that we were in a hurry(i had to go back to school for debate prac), and our dishes were served in less than 5mins, not bad at all....hmm...
coupled with the fact that the waiters were quite young, and nice to look at=) haha...

hmm..the first dish..CHICKEN WITH BASIL, SERVED WITH RICE AND A FRIED EGG
The chicken fried with chilli, so it was a little hot, but val ate up all the chilli, so it wasn't tat bad..
the sauce was not bad too...=) on the whole, this dish was not bad, only a little too costly for my taste - $8 (if u consider the fact that it probably cost them like $0.80 to make it)...oh well..the ambience i guess...

second dish...CHICKEN SALAD
well..chicken again...it was not bad actually, only that i didn't touch the veg at all...ate the fried chicken and deep-fried lotus roots...
the lotus roots were really crispy and tasty...the fried chicken was a little oily though..
it's like, when you bite into it, oil sort of "spurts" out...of cos, it's an exaggeration, but you get the idea..
dressing was tasty...val says that they use yokoman sauce?????!!!
price was obsene...$10 for veg?? what's their point?

last but not least..the third dish...BEEF NOODLE SOUP
it came in a really huge bowl....REALLY HUGE..=) too salty, i felt..but on the whole...still....GOOD...
not much ingredients though...quite pitiful for a bowl of noodles costing $8??
probably tried to make up for that by that unbelievably large amount of noodles....
if any of you reading this wants to try this dish..i sincerely suggest you go in pairs...no one will be able to finish that...that....

oh well..that's it for my food tasting session...will be going for another one next week....looking forward to another hole in my pocket..=)

hmm. i've been influenced by val, crys, ad, kai and sunny...finally got a blog! (quite the obvious)...well. multi-tasking's the way to go man..doing debate, ss and chinese all at the same time=). I want to go out - anywhere will do...want to try new POSH places to eat..val and ad, count me in for ur next food tasting session, ok?? =) hmm...i feel so unaccomplished...spent the whole of yesterday doing nothing. unless u count slacking an activity..oh well. life's boring nowadays.

sigh...rgs is most probably gonna host semi-finals for debate...and this only hardens our resolve to get into the semis and win it! we WILL do it!! ABSOLUTELY!! WITHOUT A DOUBT!!! we will emerge VICTOROUS!! sigh...just trying to instill some confidence into myself *sheepish grin*.

oh well..guess tat's enough for my first entry, no? will get back to multi-tasking....
