9 piercings, a tattoo, drinking and smoking doesn't make you a person who won't hold down a job that requires tax payments - Chang Mei Ling

Power woman! I know now... You may be badass on the outside, but I know that my magpie is still susceptible to the sparkly. Samseng cantonese speaker with a (melty-soft) heart of gold. Thank you for being there.

i scream, you scream, we all scream for...

ice-cream!
Since Pukka opened behind our hall, I've been eating ever so much frozen dairy. Pukka's ice-creams are freshly made and they've got quite a number of mix-ins. I laik!

The flavours aren't quite as interesting as the ones at Island Creamerie, but they can hold their own. My favourite is probably the Mint(ice-cream) with oreo (mix-in). Others have recommended Cheesecake (ice-cream) with strawberry pie filling (mix-in) and Ribena (ice-cream) with gummy bears (mix-in).
The waffle-bits mix-in is super cheating lah. It's basically broken cone bits. Donch think we didn't realize ah. I'm also very sad that they've stopped making Mango. It was heavenly. Not ice-y enough to be a sorbet but not too milky-rich as an ice-cream.

So many yummy flavours. I saw this picture and was reminded of my quest to find the most cui/CMI ice-cream flavour.These were some of the better (edible) glace flavours:

1. Garlic
2. Sardine
3. Cucumber
4. Marmite
5. Bittergourd
6. Miso
7. Pecan-Mushroom
8. Mushy Pea
   
9. Mustard
10. Liquorice

New discoveries:
Shanty felt like a cendol, so she had Gula Melaka ice-cream with atap chee mixed in.
My new favourite has to be Chocolate ice-cream with the Dark Cherry Pie filling mix-in. Very reminiacent of a BlackForest, non?

Coming out of the closet will induce hysterics - Shanta Danielle Arul

If you're ever thinking of pranking a neighbour, hiding in her closet and jumping out suddenly will guarantee a good scream, about 15 minutes of side-cramping laughter and retaliation in the not-so-distant future.
It also involves 20 minutes of sweltering in a stuffy cupboard and the need for an accomplice who is both poker faced and indubitably trusted by the victim (thanks Audrey :D).

A weird vid a day keeps the doctor away - Ashok Narandran

A single psycho video beats an award winning series (:
Though the combi of Greg, Baileys and Mangina's will haunt me forever more.
Youtube trumps TV.

The male as a package versus the size of his package. The making of the Chippz lists - D3 girls

The first time we truly objectified males.
Favourite quote "Who cares if he's nice. It's 100% about pure, raw, unadultered-by-personality, physical appearance." (:
We loved it.

Friends admit when they're wrong, but they also tell you when you're wrong. It's worth the quarrel to save a good friendship - Tan Kim Ong

This is possibly the most valuable lesson that I got from hall. Approximately 80-90% of my memories in Singapore would have Kim. We've had our peaks and troughs and survived them. May our great friendship span many more years.

Power emails, the building block of a block - Chen Jie Ming

Ming sent the most hilarious emails as block head. Emails are usually just a form of visual-verbal communication. Ming wrote as Ming, so you could hear him, feel him and see him in those emails.
There were hysterically funny even as they admonished or highlighted block issues and you could so imagine him spewing that stuff in real life. In a way, the lesson is more of keeping it real. Conveying the real you whatever your media.

Amor fati

Desiree made some lemon bars.
They were yummy.
I laik her lemon bars, veh nais!

Lounge Window.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
We, the seniors, would like to kindly request that you stop obscuring our view of the happenings of a public domain, i.e. our lounge.
To put it simply, stop blocking the damn window.
Thankyewverraymush.
We still love you.
D-Seniors.

win·dow (wnd)n.

An opening constructed in a wall or roof that functions to admit light or air to an enclosure and is often framed and spanned with glass.

Granted, the lounge window is not exactly going to admit air or light any time soon, so going by strict definitions, 1 to the lounge peeps, zilch to me and the rest of the D-blockers who have been complaining.
Lets get more practical with our definitions.

Why would the architect have put a window facing a dark and narrow corridor?

1. Maybe he wanted to punch a hole in the wall to vent his frustrations, since his menopausal wife was giving him hell over the latest juicer cum rowing machine in town, and he covered up by turning it into a window.
2. He wanted to redefine the window. An opening for fun, because he had spare glass and time to boot.
3. So that people can look in and out.

Actually, I quite like 1 :))) but it would prolly be 3. Why would people want to look in or out? Well... the lounge is technically a public place, so people have the right to look in. Yeah, it's annoying, you're using the lounge, and some voyeur is watching through the window and formulating wet dreams about tv watching seniors or mugging freshies haha.

Wanking in there perchance? If the answer is an affirmative, go ahead... just stop blocking out the blardy window can? We've had enough fingering and weird activities going on there before and it became a consensus that the window ought not to be blocked (unless D3 was having another porn party hahaha).
Speaking of D3 parties, we really should have one soon. I miss our madness and this set looks pretty fun in their own right hoho. New minds to pollute :))))

Post blogging chat with loungers: A senior (in a somewhat puerile frame of mind) was making strange faces at them, in an attempt to distract them/ gain attention?
Not too sure. In any case, the cushions are down and the window is unblocked. Yay!
Civilized discourse beats online ranting.
