pocket got hole

Before I start going on about what I've been doing, I got to complain how freaking easy it is for money to just creep out from your pocket.
Its like the Oreo advert - now you see it now you don't (ok, not very sure if its from Oreo but I'm very sure its from some food ad)

I had blue notes in my wallet, then it became red then it became purple then it became heavier - because it miraculously changes to coins. And where the hell all my money went to when my bag has nothing new in it after a day out?! My freakin stomach. Argh. Nothing new in my bag but always something new in my stomach.

I.will.stop.binging.

The past 2 weeks were really like..a holiday with all the freedom I want - my parents ain't in Singapore and I do not need to study (Linghui says so). For the sake of remembrance, I'll have a very brief summary of what I've done so I can look back and covet the stress-free life I have now (Linghui has a bad habit of making life difficult for Huiling haha)

Well, the main thing is always food and usually whatever meet ups I go to involves food. Actually, if you think about it a lil more, its not just me - whenever you guys meet up, you guys end up eating as well RIGHT! Right.

28-29 June - Eugene's birthday at Johor
There was so much food! Like..really heaps of it and I wanted and needed to try everything. I really tried controlling but there was just too much and I reckon the temptation was just too great to be warded off and at last, I ate so much till I had heartburn. I know, its very - ______-"". But trust me, if you were there, you would also eat that much! I bet you would ask why the rest didn't eat to that extend. Thats because its different - I haven't ate that for ages! Anyways, we played several group games which was freakin funny and it was good fun. The next day was alright - Dim Sum for breakfast - its dirt cheap and you can eat like a Godzilla and only pay a relatively small sum. I didn't eat like a Godzilla, only like a hippo because I've learned my lesson that heartburn is not a very nice experience to go through. After which, I ate 2 more sushis and we went for karaoke.

30 June - I finally read 1 Contracts case and met up with my flatmeat Carol for dinner.
1 July - Met Shing and Spencer for lunch at Thai Express and visited the Singapore Art Museum. The featured exhibitions we viewed were 'Post-Doi Moi: Vietnamese Art After 1990' and 'Alain Fleischer: Time Exposures'. Joseph joined us later for coffee at TCC in Bugis. After which, I met Jo to have dinner with my parents at Serangoon's coffee shop which our families frequent.
2 July - Met Jo briefly at Wheelock's Coffee Bean then GuiXian and Benice for dinner at Hokaido fair.
3 July - Met Jaime at PS and caught Hancock, dinner with my parents and they left for Mongolia.
4 July - Finally got my ass out and jogged/walked for awhile which probably was offset later with the food I ate. Damnit. Watched Prince Caspain with Jaime and met Jo and Hendric for Sushi Tei. Cabbed home and cooked my all-time favourite Bitter gourd with salted egg and black noodles for supper. Watched something something in Vegas (forgot the title)
5 July - Hen left early, Jo and I lagged quite a bit at home and forgo the plan to Pulau Ubin. Instead, we went to PS and had lunch at Thai Express, then dessert at Secret Recipe. When we are together, Jo spends money like water, I spend money like Trump. We somehow convince ourselves that we are rich when we are out together.
6 July - Feeling kinda motivated, I made my way down to the Coffee Bean at Gardens - the place we called 2nd home during JC. It was a nice quiet moment which I really appreciated. Then potluck with Jo and her friends. Felt outdoorsy that day and suggested that we should go star-gazing at East Coast. So I met up with Xiulu and took a bus down to East Coast. To kick start our 'adventure' we had dessert at a HK cafe. We were a lil unprepared - no tent, no torch, I brought a yoga mat (thats the best I had) and Xiulu had her sleeping bag. But it was still VERY cold and VERY uncomfortable and VERY sandy and there were MANY dodgy people. At last, after perpetually laughing at our stupidity, we packed up and went to Macs for some food. Walked round East Coast trying to find a spot and ultimately gave up and cabbed home at 5am. We then realized how comfortable is my bed.
7 July - Met Apple for lunch at Crystal Jade. Some complications and we ended up ordering more than what we could finished. But we did finish everything and sat there till the cows come home. Then met up with the most unlikely person, Mr Tham and Benice! It was really quite interesting.

Yeah, thats bout it, its been quite good since I do not need to think much the past few weeks =).
