Random Post of Nothingness

HELP University College, Mini Cooper, News Straits Times, SASA

Wow, I totally adore this photo of my fellow SASArians and I during the awards ceremony last year that was published in the NST. It was such a candid shot that most of us, me included, looked either spastic or retarded or both actually. Can you spot me?

Most if not everyone in that photo minus me will be sitting for their A Levels finals in a couple of months and all I can say is “GOOD LUCK” cause they have been the best of mates for so long, but I will definitely miss those smart asses next year.

In more positive news, I drove my mum’s manual Mini Cooper just now. I drove a STICK! A year and a half since the last time I drove a non-automatic vehicle, and boy was my mum panicking when I almost hit it against the wall reminiscent of a few years back when I was a whisker away from opening a hole in my house using the same weapon.

Don’t worry, I am still alive.

Dog Gone Singapore, the Place where Minis and Food Reign

In Singapore, we were reunited with our favourite canines, Rouge and Riv, our cousin Sook Yee’s dogs.

Rouge is the one with the collar cause he cannot stop scratching himself. I know your feeling boy! Check out the uber cute clothes.

Ever had Japanese pan cakes?

Well, they are delicious.

Mine had chocolate in it.

Ever had Japanese Octopus Balls?

Not Octopus Testicles, just that they have small lil octopuses in balls.

We were in Takashimaya; hence, all the Japanese cuisine.

Again, great stuff, but they have different flavours now which include prawn and bacon and cheese.

Overall, really a breath of fresh air, extemely tasty, but ultimately not something you can consume tens at a go.

My cousin Ai Yi probably has the best and most expensive toy in the family – a Mini Cooper S, which is so exquisite it radiates class and elegance.

It was a pleasure to sit in a car of that magnitude following a ride in my cousin Michelle’s Porsche is couple of months ago. The interior was awe-inspiring with gizmos and gadgets that ooze sophistication, especially the built-in iPod dock. Singapore is filled with Minis and other top-notch sporty cars, but it is a cautionary tale of too many traffic lights on an island to actually use turbo and speed.

Back to those lovely dogs, I miss them already!
