for siva: nooo!! it sounds so sad haha..there’s a new (and much nicer) camp just before u get to yours yes? my friend (andee) wrote in his blog and described it as
walking through a florist full of shelves upon shelves of big and beautiful, silky red roses and walking out with the bit of fungus growing in the dark cracks in the walls. And not just any ol’ bits of fungus. Dead, shrivelled up and haunted fungus that looks like its going to crumble into dust at any moment.
eeks! i’d very much prefer to sit at old bedok road and eat yummy ikan bakar!!
and *salutes* was reading andee’s post abt all the shit you guys had to go through during those 6 days and it was horrible!
…………………………
ok since the hols are coming i have a place to suggest if you guys are looking for good food:
ala turka: 16 Bussorah Street (somewhere around bugis, near Sultan Mosque)
was there on yesterday and the food was just heavenly! it is better then Sofra
it cost about the same
led a truly decadent lifestyle yesterday (tho i still have another paper this thursday!) eating yummy food and shopping after that
aniwaz back to the food..
you have to try et sote
it’s heaven-sent i tell you..i think the people around us must have thought we were crazy making orgasmic sounds of pleasure but it was just divine. it’s indescribable (if there is such a word!) you just have to try it yourself!
and their apple tea is just addictive! i love it so much i drank two cups of it! oh btw i didnt like the cold version very much..and the best thing is that it costs 1.50 only! 50cents cheaper than the cold one haha
the adana kebab wasnt served on a sword (Sofra does) but it tastes divine! looks like a HUGE hot dog but it sure doesnt taste like one! i wonder how long they marinate the meat cos you can really taste the herbs and spices
yummy!
but the rice doesnt taste as nice as Sofra’s
doesnt matter anyway since i hate rice and the other dishes more than made up for that flaw
okies i shall not blabber on for too long..to see pictures visit my blog
and for more pictures click on nizam’s (it’s linked to mine)
warning: do not look if you’re hungry!
okies shall get back to my books. ta!

currently wasting my time in e library before my lecture at 3 (it’s 11plus now)..have no idea why he delayed e lect..two weeks in a row..so instead of a 3 hour break i have 4 hours! and since it’s e fasting mth i cant eat! bleargh …

so far sch’s been good i guess.. my best mid term result is ps..which is gd since it’d be kinda silly to choose tt as my major if it’s my worse paper :s yup but frankly i think tt it was an easy paper so i guess it’s not so wonderful after all heh.
we’re doin macro econs now..gosh all those stupid policies are back to haunt me! and e notes are in pdf form..so it’s tiny! nearly went blind doin my tut yesterday night :s
hmm okie enuf complaining already
moving on to nice stuff: i realised tt there’s quite a few hot men arnd campus! i usually see em in e central lib fifth floor
but den again..there isnt a lot lar..but enough for me to look at when i am bored to death with nothing to do (or rather nothing that i want to do!) like now..
edit: this is the third time i see e frodo/elijah wood lookalike here heh
ok tts a boring update of sch stuff..and i better get started on sth intellectual before i drown in my sea of notes/readings just before e finals :s *but somehow i think tt scenario will happpen…*
arrivederci!

heys a52-ians:)
i watched the movie as it is in heaven yesterday and thought it was great
tried to find a movie review about it online but cant find any! it’s Swedish btw..so maybe that’s why it’s hard to find anything abt it (not even any pictures!)
it’s the biggest Swedish box office hit of 2004 and e poster says “Music at it’s most magical since The Choir Boys”
))
and since i love it so much i shall painstakingly type the synopsis manually!
here goes:
Daniel Dareus is a famous symphony conductor, but he is exhausted by the demands of his high profile lifestyle. Having sufferred a physical and emotional breakdown, Daniel abruptly interrupts his career and returns, alone, tho Norrland, the village of his childhood in remote northern Sweden. Soon he is asked to come and “offer a bit of good advice” to the small church choir, which practises every Thursday in the parish hall.
Daniel resists being dragged back into the spotlight, yet he finds no way to gracefully refuse the choir’s request. As he reluctantly begins to work with the choir, Daniel, quite to his own surprise, begins to rediscover his long-lost joy for music. But his work with the choir becomes a serious threat to the town’s status quo, and Daniel finds himself surrounded by enemies. Meanwhile, he makes new friends, among them the lovely and sensitive Lena. Daniel’s life and the lives of the Norrland folks, will never be the same again.
warning: it may be too draggy for some! and a lil bit cliche too actually
and if any of you see the soundtrack pls tell me! i’d love to buy it!
oh n girls pls note tt e male lead is NOT hot..quite old n balding actually haha (just in case some ppl think i watched it cos the poster had some hot men or sth haha)
n get ur tissue packets ready..i cried buckets.no, cups maybe.heh.
n i think only cine shows it..(where else can u watch wonderful non-hollywood movies??)
disclaimer: this is entirely my own opinion..dont scold me if you watch it later and think it’s crappy!
