today, we had the honour of erik cooking dinner for us. he's studying marine engineering, and was from my primary school. he's a year older, but i definitely remember seeing this huge guy walking around, probably terrorizing people. haha.

the useless michelle and i, just sitting around watching erik cook, while i rediscovered my iSight. dear old erik also helped me fix my internet connection which i stupidly screwed up. thanks dude.

dinner was fantastic, though er, i didn't take any photos. when we were done with erik's delicious food, michelle and i decided that we had to have that caramel dessert thingy we saw at Morrison's the last time round, so the four of us trooped to Morrisons, in the cold and awfully strong winds. well, the wind was so strong that it blew michelle off balance.

back at St Mary's. we had our post-dinner desserts at the recreation area, which had a huge lcd screen, a billard table and a table-tennis table. michelia and i tried our hand at table-tennis, not too successful, but at least we tried. hur. this was our caramel thingy, which sadly didn't taste too good. but, we saw Muller Yogurt Corners on sale, 10 for 2 pounds! we shared 10 among the 4 of us, and now i've got michelle hooked on muller yogurt too.

i managed something intelligent during my Literature seminar today. finally. chatted with some seminar-mates before class, was describing Singapore, how its illegal to chew gum, how we're termed the 'fine city', when another girl joined us and asked, 'Singapore, right?' apparently we're quite (in)famous in a way, but people do tell me 'i heard Singapore's really clean and safe!' hrm. a trade-off really, we're safe and clean, but we're pretty boring, architecturally, in terms of landscape, culturally...well, i do tell them that they've got to try Singapore food, and how they 'excite your senses'. :D
