piggy me...

CNY is coming! and it's time for me to feel piggy again. Yesterday, spent the WHOLE day studying MA. not many chapters actually, it was just that I was super distracted by food. Urgh...
Anyway, had Italian food with Mel, Jaz, Peishan and Jiahui at Clarke Quay last Mon, cuz the Aussie pple going back for sch pretty soon. Shared 2 pizzas, 1 pasta and 5 scoops of gelato. PLEASE DON'T eat there next time. The pizzas and pasta was not too bad, the ambience was great, but the gelato sucks! Lemon gelato tasted so bitter, and I shall not go on to describe the other 4 flavours. The best Italian restaurant I tried has to be the one at Wisma, now displaced by Ding Tai Fung. The Calzone was so rox-y, and even the fries were so tempting. Pasta Cafe at Taka was not bad too. Like the Asian-flavoured one. Was it some Marinara Sambal or wad. hehez...

1 more recommendation to make! The dumplings n xiaolongbao at Sixth Ave is quite value-for-$! For $5 u get to like 10 dumplings. Much cheaper alternative than restaurants. Besides, these dumplings are really juicy! I know I sound like a pig, but well, wad to do...

Not exactly looking forward to CNY cuz there seem to be too many disputes on my paternal family side. Always get headache at my ah ma's house. My nephews and nieces are bound to disturb me, pull my hair and sit on lap. Sometimes it can be quite annoying, but at least it keeps me occupied. Anyway, they must have grown up. Have u ever felt that kids are no longer cute n innocent when they grow up? Like they start spouting "bad" words instead of gibberish, or start to talk back. Scary kids. I suppose I shall nv wear skirts to my ah ma's house until the kids all really grow up. I kinda miss my maternal relatives cuz I haven't seen them for a long time, except for my 2nd aunt, 2nd uncle, Mona, Wawa, and a few of them. I wonder how it's like to celebrate CNY there.
