hahahaha i realised my previous posts really really too long ar.. until i oso sian to read thru to correct grammar n stuff.. haaha so i shall keep this time's
relatively shorter.
1st july '06, saturdayrevisiting hollywoodwent to hollywood again, but this time with 3 of the 5 guys and the girl. hm i tink i shall tell u their names if not always refer to them to the 5 guys n the girl.. so weird. hm the girl is called julin and the 5 guys are wenyao, alex, clareance, jason and derick. so went hollywood w julin, alex, clarence n derick.
hm this time the trip to hollywood was a little better. maybe cos there was a larger crowd n thus better atmosphere. but cos this time go w frens the trip abit more draggy cos always deciding where to go n stuff. but oso got pros la. like got ppl to tok to n stuff. anw there really isn't much to do there so in the end we ended up having dinner at california pizza kitchen aft an hr or so of walking..
the service there is really superb. but q paiseh cos we all v budget one ma.. so we ordered 2 pizzas, which by right is a pizza per person, and a wrap and shared. den the waiter like q sian diao cos lidat means his tips oso qill be q little. hahha. anw the tips for servers really impt! haaha dun give nvm... at most they juz spit into ur food the next time u come or juz chase u out or sth.. lidat only la.. haha the guys were sayin tt the last time they went to this thai noodle stall to eat. the total bill was sth like USD22.97.. den when they gave the waiter 50 bucks the waiter asked them how much they want for change.. they din realise tt the guy was indirectly askin how much tips they gona give him.. den wenyao tot he was askin if got smaller notes or sth so he took the 50 dollar note back n gave the person 23bucks.. haaha so effectively they juz gave the person 3 cents as tips. den the waiter's face juz stoned n sian diao. then they nv realise somemore n juz took their stuff n walked out..
anw aft we finished our food at the pizza place we juz sat there n tok kok. found out tt the guys are really farny n they always do farny stuff. cant really rmb wat they do cos this blog delay too long ar.. haha next time when i catch up le i'l tell u all afew.. anw aft tt went to ralphs to shop before heading hme. ralphs open 24 hrs one. but alex was saying tt there was once they went n was surprised to find it closed.. den they found out tt they were closed cos a car juz rammed into their front door n damaging it so they gotta close...yea.. all sorts of things happen everyday here...
2nd july '06, sundayboring chinatownwent to chinatown. maybe its cos its sunday so most shops closed or wat.. but its really deserted there. noone on the streets and few shops open. so in the end we juz walked up n down some deserted streets, went into some shops which were open (one was a cafe which sells chinese pastries and the other was a japanese anime shop.. so are we in chinatown or japantown...). the only interesting n relatively exciting shop we found there was a asian grocery shop. we bought pork ribs, glutinous rice flour and green beans so tt we can hve hme cooked dineer the next night!
3rd july '06, mondayfirst full home-cooked dinner here!went to westwood village w julin in the morn to buy some stuff n got a local phone number. but tink i got the wrong plan. nvm gona go change soon. anw aft tt went to sch in the aftnnon to crash the guys' lecture to see wat it was like. den went over to the guys' place to cook bak kut teh! julin had a pack of instant bak kut teh n so we used tt to cook. considering it was our first attempt, it turned out really gd! haah wenyao was in charge of rice n he kept saying tt the rice he cooked is too hard and tt we would all choked if we ate it. in the end the rice turned out ok la.. haha den he say cos he like to
chi luan fan.. anw aft we were gona start eating den realised wenyao dun really eat pork.. n tt all tt we hve on the table is white rice n pork.. haha so jason went to fry egg n hotdog.
aft dinner, the guys washed up (n they were surprisingly meticulous n clean) and alex and wenyao cut honey dew, apples and strawberries for everyone. hahaha the honey dew was
pain-stakingly chosen by alex hu stood by the honey dew tray for like 15 mins smelling (n some knocking) all of them before coming to a conclusion tt tt one was gd. but ok la. he's q gd cos in the end it really turned out sweet. hahah
aft dinner juz watched farny clips on youtube w some of the guys n tok kok. julin fell aslp on the sofa so i was waiting for her to wake up to go back but in the end she looked so deep aslp so i juz left without her. hahha dun tink the guys will do anyt to her.. n it was like 2 am or sth le. whahaha
anw i tink i'm starting to learn how to enjoy life! whahaahah usu i wont even bother eating breakfast in the morning cos too ma fan.. n even if eat i'l juz grab a slice of bread n munch or sth. but now i actually eat breakfast everyday! n its not a slice of bread! i actually take out a bowl n pour milk n cereals in it! last time in hall if i eat cereals n milk i'l juz put some cereals in my mouth n drink one mouthful of milk straight fr the carton den like bite them tgt to make it seem like they were mixed.. hahaah n i actually fry eggs n mushrooms and some hotdogs to make egg-mushroom-hotdog sandwich for breakfast tdy! n i actually cut my fruits now when i eat them! last time i'd juz bite my strawberries off the leafy part.. now i actually cut them off dne put them into a plate so tt can
xiang shou them without standing beside the dustbin to throw the leafy part away! hahaha the level of
xiang shou is actually q worth the trouble! hahaha can consider making tt into a habit. and i oso decided to go back to my hall rom to decorate it! hahaaha inspired by my roomie. she only stayin here for 6 weeks n she decorated the place until damn nice! hahahah n i gona stay in my hall for 1 yr! gd investment..
