Watch this.

Someone should try doing the same thing in the mouth, drink a mouthful of coke and pop in a mint. It quite be pretty fun!

1) I have been to PS 4 times in the past 1 week, each time with different groups of people but dined at the same 2 restaurants 2 times each. Burp. Oh and cartel has finally succumb to charging its diners 10% service charge and scraping its ’self-service’ style. The waiters just didn’t seem too happy with their additional workload- they gave us 3 cups of ice water when they were clearly 5 of us, and when they had to refill my ice water, they did so very unwillingly. I’d rather do it myself if given the choice and save myself the 10%.

2) I have watched x-men 3, well before most people did. And because of that, i didn’t know i have to stay till the credits roll because no one warned me to. Now i tell everyone who’s going to watch to stay so that they could watch the part of the movie which i didn’t get to see. Professor X never die lah. Really. That’s how nice i am.

3) I bought 16 books on saturday, of which 4 are panda’s and 1 for L. Given that i am still reading my 3 books (1 fiction, 1 travel book, 1 non-fiction), i wonder how long i will take to finish them.

4) There must be certain reasons why Kinder Surprise is strictly for kids. I had one the other day after a long absence and i didn’t enjoy the chocolate, neither did i like the toy, nor get any surprise. Instead i got a small doraemon toy which i didn’t know what to do with it and a shock that I actually get nothing that i have expected.

5) I have the amazing power to pause and continue my dreams. I got woken up a few times this morning, and each time when i went back to sleep, the dream continued. A minor glitch was that i was initially with my uni friends in the dream but later I was my jc friends instead.

6) 1 July is proving itself to be a very popular date for activities. I have already 3 events scheduled on that day. 1 boot camp, 1 youth day opening and 1 21st birthday party (or 2 since it’s twins!).

7) I have been getting more Bananas than Apples these days. There must be something not right. Where did the Apples go?

8) It’s never too good an idea to drink teh-peng at supper. It does make you insomniac and end up writing crap.

Earlier, I was at mac buying an ice cream. I got my ice cream and the cashier said his normal “Thank you and have a nice day.” I picked up my ice cream and left.. and he continued “Enjoy youuuuurrrrrrr….dessert”. Then i was already a few steps from the main entrance.

He must have watched too much of his “Orcccccccccchhhhard” tv advert!

Sometimes i am pretty amazed by how calm i can be… which isin’t too good a thing because 1) people who gets gan cheong then will irritate me, and 2) those who are gan cheong will get irritated by my calmness. Lose lose situation for both parties.

On a slightly related note, can coffeemate can used to make milo in place of condensed milk that has run out? If not, how come my milo doesn’t taste like milo at all?

One thing that can possibly brighten up my day in school is spotting the green milo truck. 3 possible hideouts for the milo truck are (in order of frequency): central forum, science and engin where bazaars are held. So normally when there are bazaars, milo trucks can be found in the vicinity.

Today I spotted one at engin and happily went to help myself to the free milo. Something I have noticed was this sign that says “For hygiene purpose (in font sign 12), milo will only be served in the milo cups (font size 30)”. I wonder why they have to arrange the words this way. But i think they should change the word “hygiene purpose” to “financial reason” instead.

Overheard two guys talking.

[guy 1]: How many cups have you drank?
[guy 2]: 3rd cup now.
[guy 1]: What’s the maximum number of cups you’ve drank?
[guy 2]: 10 (!!!!!!)
[guy 2]: and i LS after that.
[guy 1]: hahaa.. i was about to ask if you LS after that.

I had two cups of the milo and was about to leave when i saw the cleaner auntie da-bao milo in her plastic container. Power!

I made a comment today that I was becoming Dilys-ified because it seems that I am feeding from Dilys Creation for most meals when i am in school. Dilys Creation is the little stall that sells all the snacks/finger food/kuehs/baos/kopi/milo/etc in engin and science. When time does not permit a sit down breakfast or lunch, i pack food from dilys. And because of the packed timetable i have this semester, i have been packing most of my breakfast and lunch from dilys. 4 breakfasts and at least 2 lunches a week, i think i have tried every single items they have. The chicken curry puff doesn’t taste as good as old chang kee’s and their milo’s overpriced, but that’s beside the point. I wanted to say after i said i was dilysified, some friends continued to analyse the word dilysified. The noun, verb, adverb came up and we concluded we must be bored.

I’ve almost forgotten how to spell Orchestra. Was trying to spell this word today but it just slipped off my mind. Signs of growing old?

As adapted from panda’s adaptation of my previous post on About Cheesesteak and Beefballs & Continuation: The Moment When the Food Was Served.

So 50 minutes before the dining time, your 4 friends who are also savouring the cheesesteaks and you sit at the dinning table, eagerly awaiting for the food to be served. You all discuss about the wonderful Cheesesteaks that are going to be served, each time salivating whenever images of the cheesesteak flashes in your mind. Your stomach undergoes the cephalic phase in preparation of the arrival of food, your G cells secreting gastrin to increase gastric juice production and gastric motility.

You sit wide eyed with your fork and knife in hand at the table. The chef comes out of the kitchen pushing a trolley with 5 sets of dinners for each of you, flashes you a big wide smile and finally serves the dishes to each of you individually in front of you. In great excitment, all of you opened the lid and in great astonishment saw:

1 x cheesesteak served to you
1 x Beefballs served to one friend
3 x chop suey, sushi and french fries served to your 3 other friends.

Still in shock, you don’t know whether to be angry or happy at this surprise. Isin’t everyone going to taste the Cheesesteaks all together? And now you are the only one with the Cheesesteak? The chef returns to the kitchen after serving the dishes and you presume there is no way to change the dishes anyore.

Out of curiosity, you took up your fork and poked at the cheesesteak and the cheese oozes out. You know it is going to taste good, but it will be a long and lone cheesesteak savouring process all by yourself. You stop and think if you are going to put the pieces of cheesesteak into your mouth. Meanwhile, one of your friend decided to forgo the cheesesteak and savour her newly discovered delicacy of chop suey, sushi and french fries.

I chose the Cheesesteak in the end.

But of course, there’s still 1 hour before dinner time and anything could change.

Imagine this.

You are told that you will be having Cheesesteak for dinner tomorrow night, something you craved for to try and took all means to obtain the opportunity of savouring it. Today you spent all the time imaging how that Cheesesteak would taste like, and felt all excited awaiting the arrival of tomorrow evening.

Then two hours before dinner is served, the chef calls you down and offers you Beefballs instead. Now those beefballs look tempting enough. Afterall, there are many out there who wants a taste of the Beefballs as well and you should count yourself fortunate enough to have two options offered to you.

The catch is that the chef tells you that he has absolutely no idea how these Beefballs will taste like because so far not many people have tried them and the taste varies slightly from time to time. But he promised it will be a new and rewarding tasting experience for you as well based on his own experience with the beefballs. His point is that both the Cheesesteak and beefballs will satisfy your hunger and in fact those beefballs will provide even greater tasting experience because of the unknowns linked to them.

He expects you to make a decision on the spot.

What will you do?
