Finally a year of national service is over for me! I have made it thus far, just one more year to go! Haha. Indeed I am happy because I have spent the past few days away from work and out with my friends. =) What can be better than being away from work and spending time with your friends. Anyway I took a day off on friday, leaving me with three days to enjoy life before another weekend was over. So I went to nus with fiona and hl for an early dinner at the arts canteen. The first stop in nus was actually the engine canteen to try the potato salad but unfortunately it was sold out :( So then we headed to the arts canteen, the same one that I went with kangwen the last time I came to nus. Surprisingly there was a stall selling si chuan dishes and spicy steamboat was part of the menu! They gave a huge plate with the usual steamboat ingredients (meatballs, crabsticks, pork and chicken meat, sausages, ONE prawn, dong fen, lots of vegetables) and a small bowl of the soup (you can have it spicy or non-spicy) kept boiling by the fire burning from the solid fuel below as well as a bowl of rice. The total cost was $5 per set and it was very filling actually. We spent a very long time down there finishing the food and we had to change the fire two times because the solid fuel burnt out. The soup was less spicy than the previous two steamboats I had which explained the "no kick" expression I had. Haha. Still, the spicy steamboat was bad for the stomach, even though it was nice and yummy. But it was worth the cost for such a steamboat and definitely worth the time as well, especially with the company I had. After the steamboat, fiona was craving for dessert so we went back to clementi central for some chendol at the hawker centre. A funny incident happened but I shall not elaborate because it was embarassing yet it brightened my mood, considering I was rather tired at that time. Haha =) Then I accompanied the girls back on the mrt to choa chu kang before I embarked on my long long journey back to toa payoh. Here ends an enjoyable day for me. =)
I am running out of time again. I hate to split my stories into separate entries but I guess I cannot help it. So bad of me. I shall continue tomorrow or in the near future then. Remind me! That's all for now. Good night all.
hellmos signing off...a really nice song to end here...
She's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,
The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star,
She's the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do...Labels: dessert, nus, one year, spicy steamboat
