think i live my life fruitful everyday, especially today. in the morning, i did my starbucks bar test. i had to complete a written paper and also do bar drinks, have to get the recipe correct, standards. i was scared of the bar drinks as i heard i have to do like 13 drinks in 15 minutes. but i think the manager was very kind and in the end i just did most of the customers drink. not really a test to me i guess as i never did all the drinks. maybe its because i'm not a partner of bugis store, just training there and will be going back to concourse. so like chop chop do finish my test? i'm not sure as well. haha. so i did finish the written paper, which i had to copy alot of stuff from the book, haha. its a open book test. and at the end of the day at 2 plus, the manager just flip through my paper, and mark some things, then say i pass already. abit dissappointed that he did not read all my answers, nor did he do the standard stuff i guess. anyway, i pass the test! haha.. and i'm a certified barista. =) going back to concourse next week.
after that i rushed down to city hall, to pass my camp form and payment to the fass camp committee. i was very pai seh as i was late like 45 mins? though i did told them i will be late, when i'm suppose to meet them at 2.30, in the end i reach at 2.45. but there were 4 girls just waiting for me! >.< anyway, i signed up for the camp already! damn scare and everything, but hack it all. haha. if i keep delaying, i will be wasting time asking people if i should go for the camp, and thinking and thinking. hope that i wont be alone bah. hehe.
after that i went back home and prepared to go for father's day celebration. we went jack's place at simei to eat, 8 of us, my whole family, my grandma and granddad, my uncle and his friend. the total bill was like $240. haha. but expected bah, cause it was like whatever we wanted, we just order. we had mushroom soup and lobster soup, salad. calamari, muscles for appetizers. the soup was not bad, i feel that the mushroom soup quite diluted. but the lobster soup was a great improvement, considering that the first time and last time i tried the soup was afew years ago and it had sandy taste on it. the calamari was nothing special, but my parents love the muscles. haha. main courses we had were like seafood in a pan, chicken, salmon, sambal steak, black pepper steak, jack's special steak. i shared the jack's special steak with my sis. surprisingly it was nice, i feel that it is nicer then ribeye (the steak i always go for). it is more tender and has a nice texture to it, it's not hard also and goes well with the mushroom sauce. if i come back next time, i think i will order that again. hehe. love the baked potatoes! haha. actually i'm a great fan of potatoes, so i can eat alot even if i'm full. haha. surprise, surprise and its full of carbo. the desserts were a great disappointment. we had brownie and ice cream and american cheese cake. the brownie tasted like chocolate cake, it was not moist enough. while the cheese cake, was not smooth enough and it barely passes to be a cheese cake. hehe. secret recipe cheese cake wins hands down. although i have not tried alot of stuff before unlike my uncle, but even he commited he has tasted better ones. haha. he also said that if we had tried those really good steaks like one small piece for $60 plus. we would not come jack's place again. haha. overall, i think i'm satisfied with the steak only. hehe. jack's place has student set lunch also le, now university students also included! yeah. haha. $6.50 per meal, 1.30pm to 5.30 pm, mon to fri. set include main course, tea/coffee, double scope ice cream. main course: baked chicken and mushroom rice, breaded fish fingers with fries, chicken cutlet with fries, beef strogonaff with spaghetti. like not bad le. hehe.
simei has those small food stores! like muah chee, pasa malam stores, portugeese egg tart, muffin, kueh. haha. i'm so hype at these kind of food stores, cause i want to eat the food! haha. but due to my small appetite, its hard to satisfy all my cravings. anyway going to save a space in my stomach for muah chee! haha.
after that i went to tampines to meet pris. cause they had a dance show thingy at the central, plus food stores. hehe. so we went to view the food stores also. however the dance show was not those kind of hip hop de, so we skipped it. went window shopping for awhile, but got sian of it, cause nothing much to shop also. in the end went basement to see food stuff. haha. i think i'm much more interested in food stuff. lastly we went to mac to chat for awhile. haha. she just cut her hair, and i think its not bad. hehe. the side view is nice! spike spike de, at the back. went to cut my hair on friday also. but not much changes. then the lady go perm my hair abit, those temporary de. cause i wanted to perm my hair, abit like make it have curls. so she say help me do then let me see if i like it anot. so nice! but in the end the effect i don't like, i look so much older, and i have to dye my hair or not it will not look very nice. so the lady suggested for me to rebond my hair instead. haha. at least with black hair, it will look not bad bah. haha. maybe i will do that but it will cost me around $200 of damage! haha. see how first, alot of money le. >.<
pris was thinking whether or not to go for camps also, cause she don't really like to meet new people nor go into new environment. i'm scare also bah. but i never go for these kind of camps before and i think i will never have the chance to go if i never go for this one. hehe. too bad i cant go with her le. we thought of going for the union camp. but surprise surprise its fully packed! and we will be on the waiting list. so fast right! haha. so many people so enthu. haha.
sums up, i realised today i did alot of stuff. did not know that within one day, so many things can happen to me. haha. not sure if its good or bad. =)
back entry haha, on monday i went with pris to watch ocean thirteen, at vivo gv, the big screen de. surprisely we paid $7 each for the ticket. very long never see movie and so cheap le. the cinema was big, such that i did not find the screen big at all. but pris said there's a difference. haha. we were quite full, but the temptations of pop corn or nacho filled our minds, and we decided to get the nachos (should be i decided). hehe. i find the movie was nice, but abit short. i feel that should elaborate more on the plot but overall it was short and sweet, even though it was around 2 hrs long, i still find it short. haha.
