"I now pronounce you man and wife"

George & Adeline
... To have and to hold, from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness or in health,
to love and to cherish 'till death do us part...

Just a quick update

Okie.. I'm getting complaints from fellow bloggers that my blog is WAY outdated, and friends overseas are not updated on my 'well-being'. Well... I'm sorry... I've been really busy and I never knew people were actually interested in what I do (or write).

I've been plagued with lengthy reports and crazy deadlines over the last month... so forgive me if I really wanna just stay away from the keyboard... (I will not be looking at word documents or PDF files for the rest of the year!!) Now that I've cleared all my assignments, I'd have to start revising for my examinations... (my first paper is on the 25th Oct.. that's 2.5 weeks away!!!) It's really just one thing after another... GAWD!!!


Besides being a full-time nerd, I have taken the occasional, well-deserved breaks... Visited Mad Jacks at Jln Kayu (again) with Nura, Ade & George last weekend. It was sorta a treat to reward myself for surviving all that assignment and deadline crap! The fish and chips was great... yummy, filling and cheap! S$6.90++ only! The hawaiian pizza was good... but that tall chocolate cake we had was a 'lil over-hyped.. I thought it was kinda dry... the vanilla ice-cream on the side was its life-saver... And guess what..? George hates cheese! I never knew that until the pizza arrived! He was completely turned off by the cheesey aroma... I thought it was kinda amusing!

We were stuffed at the end of the meal.. but it was way too early to end the evening... and we were all thirsty.. so we decided to go elsewhere for drinks! Couldn't decide where we wanted to go... so we sat in the car for a good 15-mins to just to come up with ideas! (we did exactly the same thing after our picnic the last time! hah!) We are either very fickle, or there are very limited choices for us to hangout! Finally decided to go to Grapevine off Kovan..

It was my first time there.. heard Nia talkin' 'bout the place before, but I think they've shifted to opposite street. 'Grapevine' obviously a great place to chill out and gossip over some wine... but strangely there was no wine on the menu.. but we weren't very interested in alcohol (partly cos Nura was there and it was the Ramadan season...) I did suggest a cold beer though! Hehh... ;p They had a wide selection of coffee and tea and cocktails too! (I skipped the pages on the main courses... cos I could throw at the sight of food then!) Nura had siphoned coffee (too bad the siphoning was done in front of us..) Ade had peppermint tea, which smelled heavenly! George had Hong Kong styled coffee and tea (yuan-yang) And I had this berry with hibiscus tea, which was a tad too sour for the first brew.. The ambience was great! They had nice cosy corners (which we didn't get!), a pool table and soccer matches on a projection screen! (I'm not a big fan of soccer lah.. but it's a nice place to go if theres a match to catch.) I didn't fancy the 'blackness' of the interior... it was too overbearing... luckily they had huge chandeliers!

That's it.. these are the latest about me. If I failed to recount anything else.. it means they are either not worth mentioning or they've slipped my mind (which is of limited capacity.. =D). Do leave me a comment or two 'cos I'll still read them and respond to them. Or just leave a message on my tagboard!
