I am in this mood where I find school is meaningless, especially when you have a few lecturers that irked the hell out of you. There is this module that I absolutely detest and the lecturer is a real freak! Who the hell sends loads of email to just for one single announcement?! At her age, I'm terrified to think that she's actually treating us like penpals where she can blabber all she like by flooding us with all her emails. GET A LIFE HAG!!!
Now school I hate going, and worse, home is no better! Both places have people I absolutely cannot stand! I am always in a foul mood coz I see people that I don't want to see and have to endure useless one-sided conversations. Is there anyway to shut my ears?! Or better, send those I hate to another dimension? Somehow for these past few days, I have been cursing them to die every single day. Is it possible that my curses will come true?! I'm truly hoping.
From what I have typed, many of you must be feeling that I'm really crazy and cruel to curse people like that. But to each of its own, I just want a peaceful life, and with all these annoyances from the time I wake up til the time I sleep, I'm nv going to get one! And most often, I'm frowning most of the time unless I'm home alone. That's the only time when I truly feel happy and of course when my Dear is around!!
ARGHZ!!!!!! DAMN THIS SHITTY LIFE!

Meng's Foodie Review 1
Just came back from a good dinner at this snazzy place called the "Grand Shanghai", which is located somewhere along havelock rd near Grand Copthorne hotel. The decor and feel of the place makes u feel as if u were in 1930s Shanghai, e most impressive of these is the live singing of chinese oldie songs with a live band at e front of the place. I have to say tat e singers were all pretty good too! n yes u can request songs to be sung( but pls dun request stuff by jay chou etc), and yes u can request bday songs too (in english, chinese n cantonese - i know cause i heard all of them, with a total of 5 bday cakes coming out on seperate occassions!!). Thus for ambience and service i would say that tis is one of e best i;ve been too so far.
Now on to e food! First up was a cold dish, with jellyfish, shanghai drunken chicken and sweet deep fried baby eel. I tot e dish was excellent, and e 3 kinds of dishes complemented each other very well. Next was the sharks fin (yes i noe some ppl dun approve of tis dish, but i did not have a say in e dishes since i was not e one paying!), n i have to say it tasted different from e others tat i have tried before. This one had a hmm, how to put it,.. slighty "roasted" kinda taste tat i loved, and gave e broth much body n flavour! After tat we had a veggie dish with mushroom n chicken, which is well.. normal.. but also tasty. Fourth dish was steamed Partin fish, which to me was steamed just nice, and e fish meat was fresh, soft n succulent! yummy.. but i tot e garnishing was a tad too salty though...
next up was e salted egg prawns! yummy.. just like e peach garden ones, these were delicious, except that they came with their shells on unlike those in peach garden. Nonetheless they were still savoury! High in cholestrol though..:(.. after e prawns came e "Wuxi pork ribs", which were very well done.. e most tender pork ribs i ever tasted, though in terms of taste fer e sauce i still prefer e western BBQ style! But still, e ribs were soft, fatty and juicy..so 2 thumbs up fer it too!
Afterwards was prob e most disappointing dish, tofu with spinach, also similar to peach garden.. cept tat i feel e peach garden one tasted much better! e tofu was not as soft n tasty as compared to tat.. e last dish was Crab meat xiao long bao. which was not bad.. but then again i would not say tat its better than those at ding tai fung..
last but not least was e dessert! it was "mi gua xi mi lu", or mango with sago.. sweet, cooling n refreshing.. e perfect way to end e dinner n to cool down after all e heavy n rich foods served beforehand! oishii ne!~~~
Overall, e meal was great, e ambience was great n e food mostly was great too! e only downside is e price, so unless i feel rich or i kanna 4D, e chances of me going back there fer a meal are quite low..:(.. but will wanna bring my dear there one of these days! think she will enjoy it as much as i did! Thanks to my sis-in-law Erica fer treating e dinner too~~
