study/movie/dinner date

Yay! That marks the end of my second paper. Just one more to go! Had lunch with the bulk of the classmates @soup spoon because the Q at Tim Ho Wan was too INSANE! And while everyone else went home to relax or some sort, I was gg to start mugging all over again :( But I guess that's the only thing you can do with a bf who's busy with upcoming exams too. Well, surely study date is another kind of dating too. #optimistic 

But at least I didn't have to wake up early to 'chope' place at the national library. All I had to do was walk in and TADAH! iIhad a seat all ready for me. Slightly inconsiderate but I guess it's kind of a Singapore culture. Waking up early> 'chope' seat> hog for hours. Plus the weather is so incredibly hot, mugging in an air-con-ed place is a MUST. And I must say national library's study lounge at level 5 is SO SO nice. There's a nice view, food and drinks are allowed is so thoughtful plus there had vending machines for both food and drinks in the room itself. There's even recycling bins inside which I think is pretty clever. You know how when people are studying they jot things down on rough paper that they will eventually discard. Now they have just the right place to dump them, and play a part in being environmentally all at once! Good move.

Well, studying becomes a lot more efficient when you know there are perks at the end of it. Had a good dinner at Carly T's, ultilising the Groupon deal that le boy bought for us. It's quite a deal really- $8 for $20 worth of food & drinks. The service crew was friendly and smiley, even explaining some of the dishes and what they are. You know how at times western dishes like to have a lot of fanciful names which you can barely make out of. Ordered a burger that came with corn chips as sides and a quarter chicken with 2 sides- mac&cheese and butter garlic rice. Well, I must say mac & cheese from Kenny Roger beats hands down, no others can dispute that fact. I would recommend that if you ever eat at Carly's, avoid mac and cheese, but the garlic rice is not so bad, could be a little more flavour though. The burger tasted LIKE pizza. 100%. Good thing if you love pizza, if not then do give it a miss. But their speciality was the chicken and i tell you it's a MUST-TRY! The meat was so tender and juicy, with its skin crisps. I would certainly go back again just for the chicken! A little advice- the food portion is a little small (even for me).


 And perk no. 2- movie! Caught Oblivion starring Tom Cruise. He's unbelievable hot despite his age i must say. It's an interesting sci-fi movie, effects and actions were good. But the ending is abit of a ...
