The Case of the Scrumptious Beancurd

So here I am at the Senches--> short for SESS benches --> short for School of Economics and Social Sciences Benches, eating my favorite Mr. Bean beancurd with pearls. Yup, you read that correctly. It's soya beanCURD with PEARLS. You see, it's really tough to order this crruent addiction. Everytime I tell the lady I want beancurd with pearls, she reaches out for the cup to get soyabean milk instead. So I'd say, "No, no, no, beanCURD." And of course, she'll look at me puzzled for about 10 seconds, until I have to repeat it again while panicking cause I'm already late for my next class. And after looking at me for 10 seconds, she will of course repeat after me. "BeanCURD?" "Yes auntie, beanCURD." So after prolonging the waiting time of those behind me (who I assume is also going to be late for class), I finally get what I want.

It is really THAT strange? Well, it's a commin thing in the Philippines. Maybe not with the big black pearls but it's still beancurd with pearls. Take a look:

That whitish-transparent-ish thing on the left most is the pearls (sago). Beside it is the sweet sauce and the one on the right is the beancurd. Yup, this is what you see in the streetsides of Manila. Not your usual red bean ice cream sandwhich.

I'm a Superhero

Have you ever thought of who you'd wanna be if you were a superhero? Or what your superpowers would be? Cause if I were one, I'd probably want to have the ability to know what other people are thinking. Well of course it can be a pain especially after watching the movie "What Women Want" but I guess this world needs a little bit more honesty. I just hate having to second guess what people are feeling or thinking. There's so much room to make false judgement and conclusions which may not be true... I know it's not as selfless as having the capacity to "save the world" but I guess it's a little bit more connected to the normal side. I won't have the need to stop my feelings for other people (like Superman for Lana Lang) cause I always have to "go somewhere". Or I don't have to lie about my job (like Sydney Bristow) cause practically, I don't have a job (yet)! Ok, Sydney Bristow isn't really a superhero but you know what I mean. So if I just knew what other people are thinking, it doesn't mean that I have to fly around and save lives...well except for those who are suicidal.

Anyway, tomorrow is the ACJC Open House so I urge all of you to drop by. :) It's a great school I'm sure everyone will enjoy it! Go and listen to the choir sing as well! Surely, you'll have a fun time there. :)

BREAK BREAK BREAK!

Whee! Finally the break has come! Sigh it's been a long time since I last saw daylight...I've been in school catching up with lessons, meeting deadlines, meeting groupmates...roar. No wonder they call SMU the Singapore Meeting University. Lame, but yes, I now understand why. Although my week is not exactly study-free, here's what I intend to do:

1. Go back to the gym.
2. Read a book.
3. Finish my TV show backlogs.
4. Go to the beach.
5. Watch a movie.
6. Shop!
7. Sing!
8. Ok, fine. Study a bit.

Oh and yes, I plan to update my blog more regularly from now on. :) But for now, I've got some tv backlogs to finish! Ta-ta!
