Oh a hilarious thing happened at work yesterday. One of the lab managers sent out an email asking people to clear their benches, and she posted photos of the ‘minimum’ standard lab benches should have. And I was like ‘did she post my bench?’, and lo and behold she did! Only then did I realise that… that wasn’t my official bench! My assigned bench is somewhere else, covered full of random stuff used by other people in my group. Hahahah. I wasn’t assigned any bench when I started, so I just cleared my supervisor’s bench and ‘declared’ it as my own because he doesn’t use the space at all anyway. So his bench is all nice and neat. And then today I went out with that manager for lunch and she was like ‘wait that photo! I thought it was your bench because you were always using it!’ Me: I am! Her: ‘Then I remembered your bench was at the edge!’ Me: Yes! I was like damn it, but that’s not my official bench! Her: ‘Just swap the name tags! Swap it!’
Hahahahhaa! We had quite a laugh for a while about it! XD
Its photo spam time!
Last week we had a long weekend… Monday was a public holiday so 3 days off instead of two!
Went to orchard on Sunday and we had dinner at sushi express… but the only photo I snapped was of these cute threesome XD
Monday we had lunch with my granny at a Hokkien restaurant. My treat. And it was surprising cheap. Much cheaper than Poulet even though there was one more of us. And the food was really good too! I took more photos this time… XD
The restaurant entrance. It’s located in a shophouse in Chinatown.
We started off with 羹汤, or thick soup. Nope this is not sharks fin soup. But it tastes really great. Dried fish maw, crab meat, chicken, mushroom… that’s what I remember of the ingredients.
We ordered noodles, 五香 (meat paste wrapped in bean curd skin and fried), 虾饺 (similarly, a meat paste wrapped in bean curd skin and deep friend, but with prawn added, and this one is cut into smaller pieces, whereas the first is one long roll) - this dish is mostly gone by the time I took this pic, only 1 prawn ball + loads of veggie left, and 蚝煎 (oysters with fried egg) - the main dish in the foreground. The Fried egg + oysters + flour was really, really nice! The flour + egg mixture was fried to a crisp! Very delicious!
Braised pork belly in a steamed bun! The steamed bun is really soft and fluffy! Very delicious!
That’s the slices of pork belly.
Hmm that’s all of the photos from that restaurant… but moving on…
Silver champaign favoured haagen daz. I prefer the gold coloured one though! It looks nicer! Hahaha. This also tastes good too. I’ll take haagen daz anytime baby! Anytime, any flavour! XD
Oooo what have we here? Photos of my work place! Well a look out from the building that is! Photo taking is not allowed in the labs - lab managers are exempt from the rule though? I often get mails with photos of complains about XX waste not being cleared from XX part of the lab. Hahaha! But now that’s a different story altogether.
Anyway… it rained heavily earlier that day, and I was pleasantly surprised to see thick fog rolling about just outside the building while on my way from the office to the lab.
Fog and a nice sunset. Well grant, fog hardly shows up in photos, but you can still see some of it, so that means its quite a lot of fog! And considering the weather here in tropical, sunny Singapore, yes, fog is a pretty rare occurrence and can only been seen after heavy rain over dense forested areas (and dense forested areas is too, rare in urban city Singapore).
That’s the building where I’m working at. Now you can go stalk me! Hahaha. Well pardon the raindrops. I took the shot while in the car/bus.
KFC opened at NTU! And so I hopped on the free shuttle to eat some fried roosters last Friday. It was pure coincidence that they were giving out a free sjora (some brand of mango flavoured drink) with any purchase. A huge cup too at that. I was bloated, totally bloated. No more 3 piece chicken meal + cheese fries on my own again I swear! Just 2 pieces is enough for me.
Went to Jem that very same Friday cos my mum didn’t cook (and she had some engagement), so we went out for dinner. The traffic there was terrible. I reached the earliest, followed by my sis… and my dad? He reached, but was stuck in a jam trying to get into the car park! He tried the adjacent shopping centre but it was no different! He ended up waiting over a freaking hour to get into the shopping mall car park! Like seriously! He could have drove home, took the train out, and reached the mall long ago! (Maybe throw in a quick shower too.) He was so tired and pissed after that…. needless to say.
But anyway, while waiting for my sis to arrive… I shopped!
Sherlock manga part two! I bought the first book ‘a study in pink’ last year… and I was so excited to see the 2nd book come out! I wasn’t even expected a second book! I’ve still not watched any other episodes of this besides the first… but I will eventually find time to watch it… and read this manga too! I love this! The original drama is a fantastic modernised rendition of Sherlock, and this manga follows the drama really closely. Well at least the first book did so I’m assuming the same for the 2nd.
Saw this novel too, but I didn’t buy it. The movie cast went on VSA before (that’s how I knew about this movie), and I reviewed that episode so I remember it really well. Their childish squabbling and all! XD
Rurouni Kenshin! The novel adapted from the movie! I wanna watch this movie! The movie team went on VSA too and I just watched it yesterday… Together with the Nazodi, platinum data, kagi heya, suspect x, toto chan novels… so many novels that I’ve bought but I have no idea when I’ll be able to read them properly… arghs…!
So a random shot of the place we ate at that day. Super long queues EVERYWHERE on a Friday evening.
The karaage set that my sis ate… no photos of the rest though. But it was delicious!
And some snacks I got from muji that same day too...
