It’s nice to have you back.

Ah, so let’s see. This time, I left this place collecting dust without a new post for almost 4 months. Wow, that’s a new record! How embarrassing. Tsk.

So what have I been up to? Well my final year in University started a few weeks ago, so I have been busy with buying new books, reading new modules and getting into the Uni mood again. The latter wasn’t that hard to do, since I was really looking forward to start studying again. Reasons? One, three months of holiday had been fun, but it was enough. And two, I am finally in my FINAL year in Law School. I can’t wait to get through it and have everything done and over with.

Anyway, time passed and I’m now already in my one-week mid-semester break. I reached home on Friday and went to one of my best friend’s wedding the next day on August 1st, where I managed to reunite with some of my friends from high school. We had a huge hug-fest and were cam-whoring till late. Good times, haha!

In other news, I’m spending the whole day (hopefully) with the boyfriend this coming Wednesday. We haven’t really spent time with each other in a long time. He was actually hoping to meet me tomorrow, but I’m having my routine eye appointment at 2pm. I had an eye surgery on May 8th, if you must know. I’m recovering nicely, though. I still have to put two types of eye drops twice a day for the next few months or so, but other than that, I’m good.

Okay, that was a really boring post. I’m going to have to stop here before I bore you even more. Have a pleasant week!

Swensen’s Delectable Delight!

So my boyfriend finally took a day off from all of his script-writing and song-writing work today, and took me to one of my favourite restaurants, Swensen’s! I hadn’t gone there in a really long time, so I thought it was really nice of Latif to take me there for dinner on one of his days off, which are incredibly seldom.

We went to the outlet in Tampines Mall, since it’s near my workplace, which he had picked me up from work at a few hours earlier. I hadn’t tried Swensen’s Mac N’ Cheese before and was dying to have a taste, so I went ahead and ordered that. He ordered Fish Baked Rice. It took nearly half an hour for our food to arrive, which was really annoying, but we just shrugged it off since it was a full house!

The Mac N’ Cheese was okay, but I didn’t know they had mushrooms! If you didn’t know already, I hate mushrooms. I don’t like the taste, the smell and probably everything about it. I ended up giving it to Latif, who ate them gladly. His Baked Rice was okay too, but I think the rice was too dry? Latif loved it though, so maybe it’s just me.

We had only gone there once before this since we started dating, and we didn’t have ice-cream for desert then. This time however, we had a Cookie Summit! We only ordered one, since the glass was really tall and there were tons of ice cream with many different chocolate delights in there! YUM! Latif finished it up for me. The entire meal cost us about $50. It was definitely worth it, though.

Before sending me back home, we went to an Apple store and looked around. Ever since the new 120GB iPod Classic came out a few months ago, I have been dying to have one. I was browsing it at the store when Latif came up to me and told me that he was getting it for me at the end of the month. I was confused and was like, “What for?” And he shrugged, “Just because.” I was ecstatic! I’m sure most of you would probably wonder why I wouldn’t just have the iPod Touch, which is probably better? Well if you must know, I’m all about the space/storage. I love having tons of music and videos in one go!

I’m exhausted, but I had a great time. I hope Latif’s next day off won’t be that far away from now.

Chun-Li rocks!

I went out to the city last night with the boyfriend. It was exhausting, but incredibly fun! We actually met up earlier that afternoon to sort of accompany his 19 year-old adorable sister (along with her boyfriend) to register for ITE’s April intake. After registering and buying uniforms and such, they went their own way to find a present at Junction 8 for a friend’s birthday. My boyfriend and me however, decided to travel to The Cathay to watch a movie!

His other sister, Abby works at the Cineplex (Cinema Complex) over there, so we had free tickets! I wanted so bad to see My Bloody Valentine 3D, but Abby had already printed out the tickets for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li before hand. I did not complain though, since they were free! Abby even sent us free popcorn and drinks to our seats!

Honestly, although I did not complain on having to watch Street Fighter, I had a feeling that I would probably not like the movie since I’m not really a huge fan of action movies. But Chun-Li definitely made me eat back my words! I have to admit that the movie is by far the best action movie I have ever seen my entire life. Seriously. Kristen Kreuk was phenomenal, and Edmund Chen? I was like, “Ooh, a local actor!” when I first saw him on the screen. And an incredible one at that!

I definitely recommend watching Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. I am still not a fan of action movies, so I understand if you are also not one, but you should watch this one. Because I did and I loved it!
