The Peak

1.5 mth later, I'm back in HK... Yup, this time round for another round of gathering... Today is a much clearer day at the Peak =) Will be back in SG on Sunday...

My Addictions (Likes =p)

Here are some things I'm addicted to...

1) Wrigley's Chewing Gum

(My latest assortment of chewing gum- om nom nom!)

Besides the usual assortments of candies and tic tacs, chewing gum is considered the "luxury" item in class(cos of the ban in SG) and whenever my friends n I pop by Malaysia, we are sure to get a stick or 2.

2) Android Tablets (HTC Flyer / Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1/Dell streak 7)

As shown above : Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Well, if u were to ask me, Tablets are the second best thing to boyfriends. They are cool, sleek, fondling every surface is a new high. With so many tablets to choose from (different designs, processors etc), one cant help but to practice gadget polygamy and in the techie world, electronic polygamy is a widely acceptable and well-known practice; the more technical gadgets u have, the greater fun it is.

Having said so much, u may ask which tablet would I choose(oh no... not the boring old ipad2 though its gd). I would say Dell streak - it boasts a Nvidia Tegra Processor 2 (Faster processing as compared to the 2 n great for gaming).

3) Camera

Micro 4/3 camera =). Whenever I feel like relaxing, I will get my camera, a couple of buddies and we explore different places in SG n capture shots. The weather had been cooling lately, so it makes me wanna go out n take more shots =)

4) Pressing Palm

I have this habit of pressing these areas on my palm now.

In yr 1, I used to notice one of my classmates pressing the edge of his palm in class, sometimes during conversation or sometimes at rest. At first, I thought he was nervous (pressing/ playing with one's hands isnt a very gd thing while talking to others) but I soon notice that he is always pressing on one or two particular points of his palms.

Out of curiosity, I asked him why is he pressing his palm n he told me its keeps him awake. I did not quite understand until he pressed the points on my palm. OUCH!! It really hurts but I do feel a bit more awake (I dont know whether its a subconscious thing or maybe some unknown pressure point). And from then on, I also develop the habit of pressing the areas on my palm and yes, its some how quite a habit for me now =p

5) Koi - The Fresh Milk Tea with Grass Jelly

Top View

The Grass Jelly milk tea!

Yes... I love this drink! The savory milk tea and sweet jelly concoction is so smooth, its glides down ur throat. Slurps! Perfect remedy for hot afternoons or pep up in lectures.
( I usually drop by Chinatown along NEL to get a cup before taking bus 33 to sch (yeah.. our dear HZ, the hall stayer always ask me to da bao for her. Tsk tsk... Lol!) or meet Tim & Co at harbourfront cos they da bao Gong Cha to sch!). If there's an outlet in NUS, it will be good for us to da bao some to last us through those long lab sessions too!

Journey Up North

Here are some photos which we took on the KTM train

The Polis

The Crowd (Nope... I Did not take the 1855 Train... I took this photo when we first bought the tickets on an earlier date.)

An unknown Passenger - This is the train which we boarded =)

The Flag

The ring token

The Railway Track

Lavendar

What greeted us after a 4hr hike up the steep northern border is a sea of spectacular vivid purple. Its worth the aching muscles =)

Cocktails

The blazing hot days are here... One of the few things I would really like to do is to go for a swim in the sea and enjoy a cool glass of Mojito n S.3.x on the beach cocktail (yeah... Girls have sweet tooth)...

Taiping Lake Gardens

Scenic view of the Lake Garden... The garden is huge, with a few large lakes and really beautiful... Shall visit again if we drop by Taiping =)

Forest Trails

Jun 25, 8 A.M : Was up in the forest trails at Maxwell Hills, Bukit Larut.... Its cooling n really peaceful to be in the nature... The resort is abit run down, but rustic =)

One thing though, our bed sheets n washroom had some mysterious blood stains when we first checked-in...( The other bungalows were fully booked)

Jun 29, 1P.M : On our way home, we took a 3 hr bus ride to KL, waited for the delayed train for another 4 hrs, b4 spending another 10 hours on the KTM night train to Woodlands, which stopped for hours at different stations n we reached SG 8 hrs later than the scheduled time! Reached Jurong East at 0930am!
