Why I am pleased to be here II

More reasons this place pleases me.


Authentic Sichuan food here, found tucked away in an alley corner of Chinatown. Bloody good food. For once I felt like I was paying for something I could not have made myself. According to the pal from Sichuan, he says it's as good as back home. I'm caught in the photo with my fish-flavoured pork strips rice. Sorry, bad translation.


And Shrek just won't go away. Pesky green monster isn't he?


Now, moment of truth. See how much the aussies love Singapore? Haha. Singapore Optus indeed. We are the new Japan.


Pocket Othello I picked up from my Salvo's shop.


And my newly invented dish...grilled beef with corn and cheese on toast. Quite yums. Had some advice I should not toast the bread to enjoy the grill more. Shall do tha next time.

The amazing cost of living here

My grand plans of enrolling in a university with a seriously sprawling campus have been reduced to this...



Promise of a grand faculty has been swapped for a conference room in the city's Collins Street, why do I feel so cheated? =) Politics, they say, is the reason behind having classes in the city and not on campus. And the city, is yes, $9.90 away from home, and probably an hour's worth of travel.

Also on the radar...

It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm quite quickly reminded to the rising costs of living on this behemoth of an island.

Just today I spent
$9.90 - Daily train/tram ticket to get to school
$13.50 - Cheap As phone I picked up from a Chinese discount store
$3.95 - For a telephone extension cable
$2.00 - For a telephone multi-adaptor
$5.45 - Cheap As McDonald's happy meal for lunch
$9.45 - for 5 stamps for regular postage back to Singapore

The train ticket just killed me. That's $13SGD to get from Pasir Ris to Jurong.

Lastly, this country is crazy over Shrek.
