Pardon my previous post. Today was a perfect day although I cabbed to school for the first lecture of the semester (but it was because I refused to wake up in the morning, and also took my own sweet time to apply eyeliner to look a little prettier cos today's a special day - ya ok vain I never denied the fact haha =p) so ya, wasted 5 bucks there. Maths lecture was boring as usual, I've never seen a lecture theatre that crowded, possibly because you have mech engin year 2s + bioengin year 2s and somehow the year 3s are there too..I don't know why. But miraculously, there was this single aisle seat right in front of me when I entered the lecture theatre (a little late) so it was cool and Jordan and Tien Hui happened to be sitting right in front of me so it was really nice seeing familiar faces. And yes, soon I got to meet more familiar faces from mechengin (they're all guys somehow..my og mates) and when I finally saw the very familiar bioengin group, there was this very nostalgic feeling..we're not that close but somehow I felt very happy to see everyone again. I guess it's because we're such a small group and they were the ones who went through all the shitty bioengin modules with me, the only ones whom I can discuss school work with, and yes, basically the only group of people who knows what the hell I'm talking about when it's related to what I do in bioengin. So yes, although I dreaded starting sch in my previous post, the feeling in school today, for that short moment, was warm and relieved, relieved to know that my bioengin friends will be there with me to pull through yet another semester in NUS. Oh and WC even surprised Jordan and I with a belated Christmas gift each! It was really sweet of him and I managed to get a gift for him in the afternoon, to reciprocate his kind gesture. How nice of him =) and yes, thank god Tian helped me choose a nice pair of slippers from Rip Curl, I had a hard time because all the nicer designs and colours were out of size 11! How irritating. Oh ya, did I mention that I actually complained about the maths lecturer ending lecture at 11.35am? I don't know what's wrong with me, in the mugger mood maybe.
Anyway for the first time in 7 years, Tian and I had a very nice anniversary lunch instead of the usual anniversary dinner, because I decided to go for the first Chingay dance practice (how committed haha). After my lecture and his CA, we headed down to Raffles City for lunch and a little shopping. I made him drive all the way there because I wanted him to see the Onitsuka Tiger sneakers, hoping that he will finally find a pair of sneakers that he likes very much. But no such luck today. Maybe he didn't have the patience to try them on because he was hungry. Since we were there, I decided that today was a good opportinuty to try the food at Prego.
My dearest darling boyfriend in his green Lacoste (inspired from the movie Hitch). I could spot him so easily from afar by his bright-coloured shirt. Was supposed to wear my Lacoste too (think couple attire though my shirt is pink-peach in colour) but I was rebellious and decided on my simple, reliable white Zara basic.
We had beef carpaccio for appetizer, which happened to be more expensive than our main courses. I must say that the portion is extremely huge, usually Tian and I would order one appetizer each because we want to try more dishes. Like at Prego, we considered their fried calamari and some veal dish but we were feeling thrifty. =) I ought to stop comparing similar dishes from different restaurants because the same meat can prepared and seasoned differently by different chefs so it's really not fair for me to compare! Like today, at first I thought to myself, I think the beef carpaccio @ Il Lido is nicer, but then I realised I'm being bias so I should stop comparing and appreciate the way the dish is prepared differently here at Prego.
Me with my main course, I forgot the pasta's name, but it's basically the ribbon-shaped pasta with smoked salmon, asparagus and some cream sauce which I found just right (not too thick) for my liking, unlike Tian's linguine carbonara (see below). But Tian liked his pasta very much.
Finally, dessert time! I liked the tiramisu at Prego! (Menotti's small little one cannot make it. =p) Tian thought that there was too much cheese/cream part and too little of the cake part but I loved it very much. The creamy cheese part of the dessert was so good I wouldn't mind more! Wah so yummy, one day I shall go back to Prego specially for the tiramisu.
I shall save you the details of the rest of our day. Summary: We spent a little more time together walking around Raffles City and he helped me pick a pair of slippers for WC. Had to rush back to school for Material Science and Engineering lecture from 4-6pm, after which I rushed down to People's Association @ Kallang with a few Blast! people for our first dance practice for Chingay 2007. Haha I have so much to say about today's dance practice because it totally rocked and I enjoyed the session so much but I shall save that for another day. Went to meet Tian again at Kelven's condo. He was there for a BBQ gathering with the med people, celebrating the end of their CA? =) It's so near my place, finally, haha. I was enjoying myself there, listening to the guys talk and laugh about everything from bacteriology CA questions to sec sch, to RJ, then to this weird hand specialist. We only left at 12am, afterwhich Tian and I had a very nice time chatting in his car below my block till 1 plus, before we finally bear to part because Tian has a 9am-5pm day tomorrow. That is totally sad yes haha. And the only reason why I'm still up blogging at 3.20am is because I only have a 4-6pm lecture tomorrow! How screwed up can my timetable get, right? I tell you, if they have webcast for Cell Biology, NOBODY will turn up for lectures. Like hello, go to school just for 2 hrs! Total waste of travelling time.
So yes, our special day went exceptionally well, and because I could not spend the whole day with him, I especially treasured our time together today. God knows how many times I've told you "I love you" today. I don't know why, I just felt the urge and need to tell you over and over again. I have so much more to say to you but I'll save it for the card.
Yay. I know 2007 is going to be great. Because I'm loved. =)
