Changi Village

School today ended on a boring note. Both Alvin Ong and I felt that this bio practical is the most useful (at least for the 1st part) for the whole of 2 years. Mr Chan kindly went through all the plant bio jargons we will ever need to know, then left us to review a dozen plus slides.


Went to the open badminton court near the famous redhouse bridge together with Alvin Ong, just to witness Zhengxian's team lose 10-7 to Ken Toh's in a friendly intraclass soccer match. Initially thought that the stranger in Yuepeng's team was their senior but turned out that none knew him. Apparently he was just some RJ senior. Alvin Ong had to meet Edwin in the canteen for some stuff. Went alone to the train station as the 3H guys chilled out at 7-11.


Was about to set off to City Hall, when A.O called and asked me to wait for Ray and Ginway. Missed about 3 trains before they finally strolled in. Still, I went off alone to the Rock to meet my elder sis. Her boyfriend came just in time for the midweek service. Amazingly, I felt refreshed after that session, even though I ate very little and had no afternoon nap.


My sis prodded her boyfriend to drive us to Changi Village for supper. Realised that this is a food haven for NS guys like me in 1 years time. Had a filling supper of Nasi Lemak and teh tarik, courtesy of James. I guess that being a sibling has benefits.


Food Review:
Consisted of ikan bilis, otak, sweet chilli, egg and 3 generous chicken drumsticks.
Location: International Food No. 57 (genuine and the one and only Nasi Lemak) stall
(I'm serious, the heading of the stall was like that.)
Food rating: 4/5. Perhaps I am a fussy eater, but in order to be a food connoisseur when I retire, I must evaluate food critically.
Downside: Though the chicken wings were crispy, the meat tasted normal. Can be further improved.


Felt that the stall had a monopoly in selling Nasi Lemak, as James had to wait for 25 minutes just to order 3 plates. Some joker in front ordered ten packets (!!)The queue was quite long, while the stall opposite (selling the same content) had virtually none. Stray cats were on the prowl, though they looked quite fat to me.


Had a GP flashback while I was given a ride home. Transsexuals were roaming about , trying to clinch desperate men off the streets of Changi Village. Disgusting. Personally, I felt that it was quite easy to differentiate transsexuals from real females. The former has an unnatural beauty. My sis decided to visit my house to look at her beloved rabbit, Cuchi for a brief moment, before going off with James to the nearest petrol station.
