I honestly believe i might have made it through the toughest part of the quarter. the first few weeks was intense with the struggles with the chairs. on the bright side, it is now on display in the hallway and I got an A on them. in the end I was the only crazy person who re-did the project and other people just couldn't be bothered. ah well. at least my conscience is clear and I know i did what i could.

the cops here have started to get horses to ride around the city and it is rather a weird sight to look out your window in the morning and eating breakfast and seeing horses in your little park square :S kinda cool cos it gives you the country vibe. WOOOooo :D then there are weddings and banquets held in the ballroom next door so we get to join in the celebration by opening our windows and emily and i just sit there watching the whole thing. there was a jazz band in the square accompanied by a whole troupe of couples in tuxedos and other formal stuff waving white hankies. what that whole thing was about we have no idea, but it was definitely fun to watch. oh the loveliness of living here.

we might have started getting on one another nerves with 2 of the girls taking a stronger ownership of this house, bringing friends over till obnoxious hours and it's all so awkward because I do believe i'm the only international asian kid who actually lives with other white people. every other international kid i know lives with other asians. it's good though. the little tension we've been getting is mainly how the shared space isn't used respectedly. being on the one-man end of the whole deal i didn't have much to say until i realised emily too doesn't quite know the other 2 girls. amidst this similarity, we have banded together and have grown a pretty awesome friendship. it just sucks that her stomach is so sensitive that she can't eat alot of stuff.

speaking of food, i've started experimenting and exploring more and i invested in several sauces and seasoning while has expanded my meals. I've started eating healthier and yummier meals which has comprived of char siew chicken baked in the oven, sweet and sour fish fillet, sweet and sour tofu and shrimp and mushroom, curry, nasi lemak, cereal chicken (I was too poor to afford prawns :( ) but BEST OF ALL.... the discovery of more stuff in chinatown market. i am absolutely delighted in the treasures. i found tau gua and tau pok and the five spice seasoning which means i can make the yummy yummy five spice soup thingy that my maid used to cook all the time till we got so sick of it. HO HO HO. i also have the seasoning for singapore's chilli crab so all i need now is to go buy crabs and FEAST. MUAHAHAHA. upon discovery another secret compartment of the already secret chinatown market section, i gasp with great delight and held in my hands the yellow mee that i would need to make mee rebus and prawn mee and all things amazing. yummmmm
