Happy Good Friday  Sadly my exams are starting in a week and so there isn't really a 'long weekend' for me this Easter. I've taken about a year break from school before starting my semester and I must say that it's quite tough coming back to school again. I love school for the friends, the fresh faces, the relax yet intense atmosphere but coming back to studying and rushing for datelines, cramping our brains with information etc.. Not so much. Studying used to be a reallllll easy thing for me. But right now, I'm really not sure if I've really fallen out of the 'student' mode or the gradient of toughness from diploma to degree is pretty steep. Anyway I've finally finished 'the girl with the dragon tattoo' trilogy and I must say that it's really really good!! I've finished the divergent (first book) too and welllll I didn't like it. It's rather disappointing actually. Normally I would prefer books to movies but for this, I actually prefer the movie much better. I also realised that a lot of people love both book AND movie but I guess it's just a preference. Soo I do realize that my side profile is REALLY back dated and my batch for Instagram isn't working as well, haha I WILL fix it once I have excess time on my hands again!  My incredible comfortable, warm and, not to mention, cute pony sweater that have been left sitting in my wardrobe most of the time has finally become useless because I'm down with a flu (damn this weather) right before exams. How unlucky we all can get sometimes, right? But It did serve another purpose, to be one of my happy moments for my #100happydays ! I've decided to catch on the 100 happy days trend together with a couple of close friends. I saw quite a few people doing it so I decided to google it. So it's like everybody's busy nowadays that forget about the little things that can or do make them happy. Taking a picture of those things (one everyday for a hundred day) to remind us to take note of the things that do put a smile on our faces. I thought it was pretty meaningful, so why not? I'm on day 7 and I do hope I can complete my 100 days! Sin Heng Claypot Bak Kut Teh Let me start off this post with the picture of my first time trying this.  Doesn't look that appetizing? Wellllllll it's really good!! I've stayed in the East side all my life and I've never tasted the food here in my life! I'm not much of a meat eater and I don't really like..... Black food. No racist stuff intended but it's true. I don't like black Chinese mushrooms, i don't like braised meat,sauce,egg whatever, I don't know if it's a coincidece but I hate it! I love Bak Kut teh and I'm a GREAT fan of the white soup one. (ng ah sio at Rangoon road is the best!) But my love for white Bak Kut teh has been criticized by MANY of my friends and some of them are 1) you don't know Bak Kut teh at all 2) white soup is just pepper soup! Blah blah all that. So last week I decided to go over for supper and OH MY GOSH. IT IS GOOOOOODDDDDD. All of the Claypot dishes were served when the liquid was still boiling!!! It's so good that I went there the second night to have dinner! First night Prime ribs clay pot soup Soup, slightly peppery but yet there's a different taste to it! I'm not sure if it's the supposed-black soup taste but i needed a little time to get used to. And when I did, I couldn't stop slurping! The ribs were so soft and tender that the meat would just peel(slide) off the rib! That amazing! Also, comparing it to ng ah sio, the meat is so so so much nicer! The meat nearer to the bone at NAS's tough and I normally don't touch it. So I would just chew the soft meat off. But at SH, it's soft and I just eat the whole thing! Yums (must deep it into the black sauce) Claypot pork(meat and insides) We chose to only have lean meat cause I don't eat the insides. IT IS SO SO GOOD! The sauce that was cooked together with the pork is SO FRAGRANT. Honestly, I can't describe it well as I'm not a food blogger but it's really... Balanced. Not too salty, not too sweet, not too anything it's so good. And the serving of the sauce is generous too so mix it in with your rice! Preserved vegetables - Not a big hoohoo, no big deal, not outstanding but a must when having BKT Second night Specialty pork ribs soup Okay, gotta be frank, I forgot the name of it but there's only 2-3 kinds of soup. There's bean curd skin, the insides of the pig, ribs and some mushroom. I love bean curd skin but I don't eat the insides or the mushrooms. The soup is richer and more fragrant than the one with only the ribs though. YUM Sambal kangkong THIS ONE. It's Really good! I love vegetables so I may be a little biased but I think I finished 4/5 of the plate myself! There's the 'wok smell' to it and it's just so good! You know how good kangkongs are right? This is definitely one of them. And they not stingy with portion ok! Claypot Prawn glass noodle When it was being served, I was a little disappointed honestly. It looked soupy, exactly like my bkt. But I was wrong! The glass noodle then absorbed the goodness of the soup and it tasted rly rly good!! There's this peppery taste to it and I believe that the soup based used is the same. So imagine a good bkt soup with the sweetness of prawns and pepper all absorbed into your glass noodles! Plus point, the prawns are really fresh. Youtiao - oos for first night but also not a big hoohoo, isn't crispy or anything. Abit too oily too. NAS's youtiao is a lot better. Claypot pork - Again, didn't fail me, the standard was the same! Preserved veg - meh again. A MUST GO! 439 joo chiat place, s 427652  & here's a selfie of me with my formidable eye bags signing off~ BYE

A year of no blog I stopped blogging for about a year and never did have the intention to come back. So... What made me come back now? My friend, Alex, was talking to me about blogs and I mentioned that I used to write casually on this page. He bugged me for my URL and so I began to walk down the memory lane of this page together with him. My year of hiatus from the blogosphere was filled with ups and downs. Well biggest emotional event for me was the ending of my previous relationship (which I have to add, definitely more of a blessing in disguise). Was really sad for a while and I will probably blog about it one day. As of now I'm definitely happier with life, more fulfilled and satisfied in many ways. My last post was about me being 'lost in life' and so I shall begin my trail of words with an update of that. How did I end up choosing the 'right' degree for myself? I took a little bit longer than expected to make up my mind on this point of my life. I enrolled and withdrew (at the very last min) from the initial course 'logistics and supply chain management'. Ironically, the next semester, i went on to enroll in logistics and scm AGAIN. And as of now I'm pursuing it as my degree. How did I finally make up my mind? Honestly I don't have an exact answer for that. I guess this isn't just about getting a diploma, a degree or whatever in life. I really just thought about certain stuff and talked to quite a few (a lot) of people about it. I know many people didn't have a problem choosing their degree but I really have no idea why it was pretty tough for me. So here's what I basically did, for the people who face the same problem as me. 1) knowing what you DO NOT want I took business admin dip in SP (other courses were not choices for me) and so I was lucky enough to have a touch and go for most modules in business. I knew what I did not want and with that I managed to end up with 2 choices. My points on choosing what I want and not want is really mostly on what I like doing and not. I rather not deal with numbers so accounting, stats, finances and all those are a sure no for me. 2) knowing more about your choices I was really deciding on marketing or logistics. Both of these choices were also my elective which I chose in the second year of my diploma. I talked to people who we're working and knew more about both sides and options in the field in the future. However it's impt to keep in mind that different people will always have different perspective in life and therefore always listen to others but not follow blindly 3) knowing what you WANT Not in terms of the degree course itself but rather the way you want your life to be in which your future school, work or career may affect you. By now I know many of you may already think 'omg she's so kiasu about her life' Yes I absolutely agree as I have said in my previous post I really do not wish to waste my time and efforts in studying something that may not be of use to me in my future as much as I can. I know one thing is that I really hope I won't be desk bound and there are certain jobs that can ensure that your life will be desk bound, isn't it? Cross that off your list! 4) experience! I was lucky enough to have interned in a marketing dept and I was NOT happy there. It could have been a one company thing but that really did scare me and with that, I really just kind of got turned off by the idea of working in marketing. If you don't have any experience in the area in which you think you may be interested in, start your semester late and go get a job related to that industry to somehow know a little more about it maybe? 4) being realistic This is the point that made me pick logistics over marketing. I'm definitely not implying that logistics is definitely a better choice or that it's a more useful course. Don't misunderstand me but it's always good to be realistic to yourself in the choices you pick that may affect you in the future. A lot of people around me told me that I was very much suited for marketing and even my relatives and mum wanted me to pick marketing. But this choice is yours to make and your life in future is yours to face. You can switch courses or jobs in time to come but why waste time? I would say that there may have been a lot of factors that influenced me along the way to choose my degree but I guess these 4 points will be what I use to summarize my journey on picking the course. I can't tell if it's the right or wrong choice and I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to tell. With that I shall say a temporary goodbye to all and good luck! |
