More Makan
Last week, the making of Makang Book 2 brought us to the coffee shop at Sheng Shiong, just outside NTU. We tried the Thai Food, which was incredibly awesome.
The chief chef was friendly and very tanned from his recent fishing trip. Because of his dark complexion, he refused to take a photo and volunteered another chef instead.
After the 4 of us shared that, we went to the very famous Boon Lay Nasi Lemak. Yes, it needs no introduction. The very moment the stall opened the queue remained at this length.
What impressed me was their warmth. The treated customers like friends and they were always smiling. It isn't an easy job dealing with so many people who expect so much from the food and service, but these guys took it all in their stride. It is their personality that keeps the customers coming back for more.

Good Chillax
Tonnes of good food at Chomp Chomp plus a movie marathon with awesome friends = the life!
Okay so I fell asleep during the third one. We shall not get any more French movies. I think Priceless and Amelie are just lucky hits. Bangkok Love Story was awesome though, I became totally awake! And the first one.. Grace is Gone or something like that, was not bad, but it kind of reminded me of the movie where the family goes on a road trip in a yellow bus and bringing a corpse with them. Oh well.

Food Fair
I need to stop taking the good weather for granted. I was so surprised that it rained this morning when we've been having sunny skies for almost every day for the past 7 days or so. I almost died walking to the train station in my frictionless slippers.
Liqi and I made our way to the Singapore Expo, where it was really happening, with at least 3 fairs making their presence felt. There was, the most famous of them all, the Singapore Food Fair.
I love the variety of food that we tried. We ate everything from the chicken rice to the awesome otak from Defu! We also sank our teeth into a cheese chicken wing, 10 different types of fried seafood stuff from Dodo (all for $3) and the grass jelly from Mr Bean!
We also got the opportunity to sample countless other stuff. Tomorrow's the last day so get yourself down there while it's still open. It's bound to be super crowded at night though so for those having holidays, it'll be good to get there at 11AM!
On the way we met Zhen De and also... the man we specially came to see was working his charms with the girls from 8-80 years old, my roomie, Daniel! He sure looked like he was enjoying his work despite the long hours and the endless crowd. I think it isn't much of a problem for him - his patience and earnesty certainly worked to his advantage. The chocolates he's selling are really tasty too. Liqi and I bought 2 boxes!
After that we dropped by the Popular Fair. It was like book heaven. I was tempted to grab a couple of books on photography as well as assessment books for my tuition kids - they need it anyway! I don't believe in having a totally study-free holiday after all the shit I've been through the past 13 years (6P+4S+2JC+1Uni) to get where I am!
Well, other than this holiday that is! Wooohooo!
Liqi and I grabbed 80 over dollars worth of stuff before forcing ourselves out of that place. If I could, I would go there and get some more but due to time and monetary constraints, we just had to get out of there!
Ooh, and there's a Robinson's 150th Anniversary Sale going on there too. I'm hoping to go back there before it all ends. It's horrible though, the fact that the Singapore Expo is so damn far away from everywhere else!
I'm still wondering why the Expo MRT station is so beautiful, considering people only visit the place... when they need to!
And this is all the stuff I bought from the Popular Fair! It's unbelievable! Any other ordinary day and this shit would've cost about 80 dollars, but I got it all for a mere $25! Woohoo!
Yeah, it really says something about my warped taste in music. Movie-wise... I haven't caught those two yet, but I'm a bit of a sucker for romantic-comedies lately. They are romantic-comedies... aren't they?

Chocolate Overload
Err, this is just something I did last Saturday! Haha... seems like I haven't got much of a life after taking on this job. But anyways. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Previously, I made this when I was in Primary 2 and shared it with my classmates and it was one of the most memorable things I've did ever.
I think the pics are quite self-explanatory. Except the Baileys! I think I've got a bit of an obsession. But it tastes great. Not that you can tell when it gets added to the chocolate...
Heated the chocolate up over a pan of hot water and mixed it. It took quite some time to get it to smoothen out. But after 15 minutes of good mixing, it turned out rather well. It was then that I cut up the kiwi. Made a bit of a mess there! The end product turned out something like so:
Due to the lack of brains, we actually stored the strawberries in the freezer. And it tasted somewhat like that MOS thing. I can't remember the name for it. The one that tasted the most decent was the kiwi one. I ate all of it! The grapes were convenient to make and eat so... that one was good too.
I'm so brain-dead now, despite it being my off day. Need to do something. Bah.
