stop speaking to me in mandarin.

random stuff: please, spare me from speaking mandarin.

yea. control me please.

i felt that ever since i entered jj, i had spoken 90% of my sentences in mandarin. that is fucking loads seriously. just now i saw my sec sch friend victor (yeo). he just finished canoeing training and when i started a convo with him in mandarin, he replied straightaway to me in english and asked me why i spoke to him in mandarin in the first place when i spoke to him in english in sec sch usually. initially i thought he was being influenced by NJ peeps (most of them are english-speaking), but i recalled back to my sec sch days. i really spoke more english as compared to mandarin then. back in the days during my sec sch era, i spoke english mostly to my friends because they used english to interact usually, except to some of my friends who are more chinese-oriented and in the top higher chinese band classes. now i found myself speaking mandarin in 9 out of 10 sentences, and the 1 sentence that i spoke in english was usually to malays and seah's co. that's really pathetic. i can't keep on speaking mandarin in school, but if the peeps keep on interacting with me in mandarin, it's quite rude for me to reply them in english instead. urgh.

anyway met up with vic (lim - my bud) and kenny at bishan and went to eat at katong.


we went to the one which had air-conditioned dining area.

it has been quite a long time since i went katong to eat. guessed it has been 3 years since i last came for meals. we ordered some food and it was vic's treat today! =D


laksa and teh peng! nice!

we ordered a bowl of laksa costing $4 each. and teh peng. woots! ate already, but still wanted to try more! the gravy was simply scrumptious! or rather, simply beyond words. not gonna be a spoiler here. and we also ordered rojak after we finished the laksa.


rojak!

we spent our time trying to use the picks to poke at the beansprouts and failed to do so. we ended up using spoon to scoop them up. haha what a bunch of losers are we =P


everything's gone!

finished our food. haha. and we went off to the bus stop about 800 metres away. on the way there we saw some unique shophouses and i took some photos of them.


old shophouses


i think i just saw another katong laksa outlet!


indeed it is! the first outlet of katong laksa!


esso petrol kiosk @ night.

went home from the bus stop near the kiosk. reached home at around 9.15pm and saw the pasar malam downstairs. some of the stuff reminded me of my childhood days.


the air pump-ed castle!


and the rides!

really missed riding them loads, but i cant ride now. boo.
