Exam Goodie Bags!

01 Apr 2009 by gabriel

The exams are nearing again! This will (hopefully) be my last semester here and it is my last chance, as a student, to collect goodie bags..
This semester, the collection of goodie bags from my school and my hall falls on the same day. Luckily for me, I didn’t have to wait very long in the queue.

The giveaway goodies started at 930am and I was there at 935am right after my class.

The goodies were just so-so…

  • testpad
  • massage  vouchers (1-for-1 body massage  for 30min @$30 )
  • haircut vouchers (1-for-1 haircut @$15)
  • stationery (2 pens and a highlighter)
  • some snacks

  • Nescafe Drink
  • Facial Foams and Hair Gels
  • Memo Pad
  • SDU pen and highlighter

Rösti for lunch

29 Mar 2009 by gabriel

Since hall canteens offer limited variety of food over the weekend, I cooked rosti, a swiss dish which consists mainly of potatoes, for lunch!
Bought it from the BHG Bazaar in NTU last week for $5 a pack.

Out of the packet is a big rectangular piece of potatoes squashed together. Had to separate them and spread it around the pan

Then, I leave the rosti in the pan to wait for it to turn golden brown at one side. The spatula was too small to flip the entire rosti.. So, it kinda got smashed into few smaller chunks

And lastly, I added some mozarella cheese on top as an added ingredient and cook it till it turns golden brown.

Just nice for two!

Potatoes – Revisited

27 Feb 2009 by gabriel

Yin Sin liked the potatoes that we made for valentine’s so much… She decided to have it again! Only with a difference – she’s doing the cooking.

potato-with-corn-soup

In fact, she asked me to stay in my room, do my own stuff and she’ll call me when the food is ready.. haha.. Took her about 2 hours to get everything done. And the result? It was quite good! Apparently, her first time to cook a proper meal for someone.. haha. Probably the only complain is some potatoes are not too cooked and not enough cheese.. haha…  =P

Watched friends Season 3 while eating them.. =)

Mid Autumn Festival cum ONE WEEK BREAK!!

23 Sep 2007 by admin

woo hoo~! it’s the time of the semester again where we’ll find every opportunity to go back home and to stay there for as long as possible. In conjunction with our one week semester break, we also have a mid autumn celebration inside that week! NTU’s Chinese Society organized a Mid Autumn Festival in Yunnan Garden on the last day of the final week of the first half of the semester!! The Hall 8 Accapella (myself included) performed 3 songs for the event, namely “Feng Yang Ge”, “Singapore Medley” and “Ye Lai Xiang”.

After the performance, I had to rush back for my hall’s night cycling event. We cycled to West Coast Park to celebrate our Hall’s Mid Autumn Festival as well! We had all sorts of food there! Ranges from Old Chung Kee’s curry puffs, sotong sticks to Mooncakes with chocolate and rum filling! We only returned to our hall at 4am. By the time i took my bath and packed my things, it’s already 530am and my bus leaves Singapore at 9am.

I slept throughout the entire bus journey since i only slept for about 1 and a half hours earlier that ‘morning’. The moment I reached home… I didn’t expect to see so many people there.
EVERYONE was home!! [except for Grace though :( ]. From my eldest sister, Lisa to James and his gf, Jessie, Bryan and Jessie’s Mom (Bryan’s Nanny)
It was so yit lau at home. Reminds me of the usual festive seasons during Christmas and CNY where everyone would be back home. It was great to see everyone though, and they brought back a lot of moon cakes with them. haha.

The kids played tanglung and candles at night. Similar to what I used to play with my siblings years ago. A few will light up the candles on the floor, while one person will be frantically blowing off candles. The goal was simple, to get at least candle to remain lighted for as long as possible. Of course, it wasn’t as fun as how WE used to play it. haha

But now, everyone has gone back to KL and the house was back to it’s serene and quiet surrounding. It’s fun to be like that in its own kind of way..
