Bao Today and Shopping!

I bought a groupon deal yesterday and so, I met up with Chewyan today at Cityhall to use that groupon voucher, as well as going for a shopping spree.

We went to Bao today at Marina Square. We could order $40 worth of food by spending only $20 with that deal. When we were in the process of ordering, we already felt that the amount of food we were ordering were way too much than what we could finish, but no choice..we had to finish the value of the voucher all in one shot.


Here is the list of food we had ordered. The xiao long bao was replaced by 2 cups of yuan yang.

By the time we finished half of the food on the table, we were already super full. But we continued stuffing the food into our stomachs, up till a point where we really couldn't take it and asked for da bao instead. We still managed to finish half of our mango pudding after that. The mango pudding is nice, but we were so full that we weren't enjoying eating it.


The egg tarts look nice, isn't it? However the one Chewyan and I ate when we were working at Fedex were way better. I miss that egg tarts!


It's a really good deal and the food are really quite delicious. But I highly recommend that you get at least another 2 people to eat with you. The quantity of food you can order is too much for 2.

And because the deal is a really good one, I bought another one since the validity is 6 months.

We ate for more than an hour, and after that, we went SHOPPING. I brought Cy to Bershka and I spent $79.70 while Cy spent about almost $70. My favourite shop now is BERSHKA!

We went to Stradivarius at Raffles City. I like that shop too, but the clothes there are slightly more expensive than those in Bershka. Moreover, we have already spent a bomb at Bershka, so we didn't get anything from there, although we were very tempted to. REALLY TEMPTED. The blue gradient, yellow gradient shorts and the denim sleeveless top are very nice! But I have to curb my temptation, if not I will be real broke by the end of the month.

Cy bought a pair of flats at Forever New. The bags there are nice too!

okayyyyyy I think I should stop it. HEY PEOPLE, I'm not a shopaholic yea.

Meeting Elaine tmr to watch The Vow =D

The hunger games

Met up with Sharmaine and Elaine for the last time before school starts.

We were supposed to meet at 2.15pm to watch the movie at 2.40PM, but in the end, Sharmaine only reached at about 3pm. We had to watch the one at 4.15pm instead.

The hunger games is really a nice movie! Must watch. Now I feel like reading the book.
The plot is somewhat similar to Kaiji. The richest want the poorest to eliminate each other in a game and it is made into something like a tv programme to them. The part where the little girl was being killed was quite sad though.

I don't understand what's so nice about watching people fighting till their deaths for games. I really wonder if the richest in this world enjoy such a show. I don't mean the hunger games, but watching real humans fighting till their deaths for survival, and enjoying watching people in great fear.

We went to the Avenue Bistro at Cineleisure for dinner. The price of the food is average, but the taste.... not that great....



And we just went home after walking around for awhile.

brownie cheesecake bites

Made this yesterday afternoon. It's nice! The yellow colour thing is cheesecake, but it's a bit too salty. I think I didn't add enough sugar to cover the salty taste.

I did this all by myself. And created a mess in the kitchen. But luckily my mum wasn't around if not I would get constant nagging from her for dirtying her kitchen. Anyway, that's the main reason to why I'm baking. I hate it when my mum is around when I'm trying to make something edible. She won't give me peace.

By the way, my parents aren't at home all the way till friday. They went back to malaysia to sao mu and go genting for 5 days 4 nights after that.

Elaine will be coming over to my house tmr and we will be baking! I want to try making biscotti tmr!

Numerology

I was working at the music school yesterday. There were only a few lessons going on on Sunday, and as usual, Hefang would hang around and we would talk for quite some time.

She has been telling me quite a lot about Numerology and she even calculated mine for me yesterday.

For some of you who don't know what does Numerology means, here is the definition of it from Wikipedia:

Numerology is any study of the purported divine, mystical or other special relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs.

Numerology is like horoscope. You can choose to believe it or not. For me, I just see it as a "just for fun" thing. After telling my sis abt it, she asked me to help her calculate hers. I shall try doing it tonight :D

Numerology is calculated from your original and given name, as well as your birthday. So it's more personalised.

So now, I will talk about the analysis of my Numerology.

She had calculated stuff like Destiny #, heart desire/soul urge #, Inner dream/personality#, hidden behaviour and a lot more.

The analysis says that I'm an optimistic person and has great verbal skill. Optimistic wise, I agree, but for the verbal wise, I don't think I have it, or maybe it's hidden.. I don't know...

For heart desire number, here is an extract of what it say:
"You have a natural ability as a counselor and healer. You are an excellent listener, compassionate and understanding. You are able to both sympathize and empathize with a person's dilemma."

Really?

An extract of my personality number:
"You are hospitable and domestic. You love children and are a good parent. You are romantic, faithful and very protective. You are artistic. You love music, flowers and gardening. You are a natural interior designer. You have an excellent sense of color and taste. You are more concerned with the content of your personality than your appearance, which causes you to be less conscious of the style of your clothes. You are more interested in comfort and the utility of clothing than the statement it makes. "

Love children? There was once I told Chewyan that I would tape up my child's mouth if he/she makes a lot of unnecessary noise.
Concerned more about personality than appearance? Definitely NO. It should be the other way round.

Life path no. now:
"You are gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. You have great talent for management in all areas of life, especially in business and financial matters. "

He fang and I have the same life path number. She have went to consult a Numerologist before and she said that people with Life path number 8 are good with numbers. People with life path number 1 and 8 are quite similar, just that people with life path number 8 are more flexible, and also more cunning. They will spend time plotting plans for people to fall into their traps. The chinese term for this is called "处心积虑", just like LiuBei, a character in the ancient china warfare period.
Well... maybe I can do that. HAHAHA.

Next is Karmic lesson. Things that I have to learn in my current life: These are the 2 karmic lesson that is missing in my life.

Your Karmic Lesson is 1

You need to show more initiative in your life. You must learn to be more determined.

Your Karmic Lesson is 4

You feel confusion about your life's direction. You will have to establish a methodical and disciplined approach. You need to create a foundation for your life. Otherwise, you will feel lost and tossed about by change.
You have trouble finding the work you do best. You tend to be somewhat impractical and disorganized. You look for the answers to life's problems outside yourself, rather than within.

I think I would agree to both of this. The issue about initiative only gets a little better after I've entered poly.
As for confusion about life's direction, yes it's true. I don't have a very clear picture about what I want to be next time and until now, I still don't know what is the work that I do best in.

Actually, there's a lot more analysis of numbers that I haven't touch on yet, but I will just skip it and explains the picture above. This is called "九宫格". As you can see, I have quite a few circles around the number 1, 3 and 9. 1 stands for leadership, 3 stands for artistic, 9 stands for compassion. I have 3 circles around #1, 4 circles around #3 and 3 around #9. The more circles you have around a number, the more you excel in that particular field. BUT, 5 or more circles around a number isn't good also. For example, if you have 5 or more circles around #1, you would probably end up like Hitler or Stalin.

If you want to know more about yourself, I can help you calculate too! Just that I don't know how to do the 九宫格 one.

Tuition

I'm starting to get really annoyed by that Pri6 student of mine.

The reasons are:
1. She doesn't do her homework

2. She doesn't learn her spelling

3. There were quite a few times when the tuition timing were set at eg. 2.30pm, she would call at about 2.20pm to tell me that she wanted to postpone the lesson to half an hour later. I'm like "HELLO? I DON'T LIVE NEXT DOOR. IT TAKES TIME FOR ME TO TRAVEL FROM TOA PAYOH TO AMK AND RIGHT NOW, I'M REACHING YOUR HOUSE SOON!" but of cos, I didn't say in that exact manner, but somewhat like that.

4. Tuition timing. Normally we would discuss about the tuition timing and decide on a day where both of us can make it. But recently, she keeps on complaining that she has remedials for most of the days. FYI, her remedials mostly end at 3.30pm and she would have time for tuition after 3.30pm. I'm liaising with her the tuition timing right at this moment via facebook chat. We have one tuition session set on Wednesday, and I can do another session on Mon,Tue, Thurs 7-9.30pm and Fri. I offered all the weekdays for tuition, but SHE TOLD ME "NO" (It means that either she cannot make it or she doesn't want it)

I replied, "I don't care. I've given you all my available timings and it's up to you to choose."

So now, she told me that she can make it at 4pm on one of don't-know-which-day.

I think she thinks that I'm waiting for her to give me a timing and any time she wants tuition, I would have to make it on that time.

URGH! SHE'S REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES.
