a peek at what we have been up to...

Recently, my dad just bought a new camera, so he gave me his old camera. Finally! It's my first time possessing my own digital camera (see the picture below). It's a very common camera i think, but am happy to get it FOC :) it'll be our camera - shared between dear and i. Thus, we can save up some $$ and use this camera for our exchange in Zurich. Thank God :)

Last monday, i went for injections (Hep B last dosage & Flu jab) at Medical Missions Clinic. No, i'm not going for missions... The queue was really long (17 patients before me), and it got us a little upset cos there was practically nothing to do nearby and it was raining. But thank God, one of the receptionists was really nice...we managed to get a slot in between the queue so we didn't have to wait that long after all.

Afterwhich, we left for town and caught 'Nims Island'. It was quite a sweet and pleasant show :) Anyhow, this's the 1st picture of us, taken using our 'new' camera.

For the past 3 days, we have been spending time at each other's home, watching lots of movies and cooking meals for each other. It was dear's turn on tuesday to cook me lunch and he chose to cook his signature dish - Spagetthi, so i went to his house and helped out to chop some of the ingredients. This time, he added in a large piece of bratswurth (i dunno how to spell) sausage. And it was yummylicious. He didnt buy any sauce btw! He has his own secret recipe :) Thanks baby for the lunch.. my stomach was soo full of love after that HAHA. (very cheesy i know :P) ohh and we watched 'Happily Never After' and 'Happy Creek' after lunch. Pictures time!

doesn't it look yummmy? don't drool!

On wednesday and thursday, dear stayed over and we kinda had a 2-day retreat at my place. Just yesterday, we watched 2 movies (Iron Man cartoon version & Shinobi) and ran in the evening after the rain. It was a good run, even though i felt like i was gonna die of exhaustion halfway through. I think it has been almost 3-4 months since i really last ran. Anyway, we ran from my house to east coast park, and conquered 2.4km. I considered it quite an achievement already hahaha. Running really used up all my psychological power...thank God dear was beside me to push me along, or else i would have stopped by the time i reach 800m. hahha. Perhaps cos we were (or rather..I was) over ambitious, when i woke up today, my whole body was aching :(

It was my turn to cook dear lunch today. And I decided to cook him a Japanese Dish - Yakitori. I marinated the meat yesterday night...and ended up cooking for almost 1.5 hours today haha. Hmmm...i think the meat turned out a little too salty and dry, but my maid and dear said it was yummy! (Hope they really meant that) :) Take a look!


It looked really black like beef isn't it? But, it's chicken haha. Not too bad, considering it's my first time attempting to cook this dish right!

Oh..and alongside, i cooked udon noodles for us too :) caught ya!

so.......


who says engineering students can't cook and do craft? :)
