		<title>Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland! (I)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guess what. I hate OAC. I hate it more than ever. I hate it for having controlled my mind and manipulated my feelings and influenced my every decision for the past 2 years. OAc doesn&#8217;t make one more independent, nor does it make one more disciplined, and it certainly does NOT teach you to cope [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1123&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mixed Feelings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, this is it.
 
Tonight, I fly to Germany, and everything that I&#8217;m about to experience there, I will experience on my own. (Well, with my friends too, but you get what I mean)
 
It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t want to go there. But my excitement and anticipation for this trip is also mixed with feelings of fear [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1117&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The woes of starting IS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, IS.
How could I have ever thought that you&#8217;d be more fun than PW? You cheated my feelings when you gave me the assumption than we could do anything under the sun about china, then proceeded to unravel everything I ever did by telling me you had to be in the syllabus. The way IS, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1112&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Digging deeper but not finding anything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#124;Music&#124; &#8216;New York&#8217; - Paloma Faith
I hate not knowing why I feel a certain way, because I&#8217;m usually able to identify why I&#8217;m feeling like this and why. Even if I can&#8217;t pinpoint it exactly, I have a vague idea as to what caused a certain feeling or mood. Right now, I don&#8217;t even know where [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1107&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#124;Music&#124; &#8216;Time is all around&#8217; &#8211; Regina Spektor
&#160;
I seem to have an odd fetish for taking photos of food, and I didn&#8217;t realise how many of such photos I had taken until I uploaded all of them onto my computer and compiled them in a folder. So while this is still a photolog, it will consist [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1105&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Anne Frank Quotes Compilation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been wanting to get this post down for ages, but I was bogged down with things like PW and school and the excitement of actually having PHOTOS to post with that I just left it hanging. Now that I&#8217;ve got some time, I can truly start on my compilation of Anne Frank quotes that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1088&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dry Handmade Noodles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bet you&#8217;ve never heard of that!!!
(Ok, not really. You&#8217;ve probably heard of it before but never tried it.)
 
I have been on a food-photo rampage these few days, taking photos of whatever I feel looks good. In my case, it&#8217;s usually food. A few days ago during one of our PW OP meetings, we had lunch at the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1083&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#124;Music&#124; &#8216;Lisztomania&#8217; &#8211; Phoenix
&#160;
I recently re installed the &#8216;Motorola Phone Tools&#8217; into my computer, which is the software that lets me upload photos from my phone to the computer. After installing it, I discovered numerous photos that I&#8217;d taken awhile back, along with photos in my computer that I&#8217;d forgotten I&#8217;d even taken. I don&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1079&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Why PW sucks and everyone hates it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever mentioned PW in any of my posts(Have I? Can&#8217;t remember), so I figured that I&#8217;d better get a PW post up before my OP(this Friday) and moan and whine about it like all the other JC1 students. 
 
You know, I was actually looking forward to PW before it started. I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1075&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Crystal Jade Hong Kong Cafe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Hong Kong Cafes. I love the food, I love the relatively lower prices(for most restaurants) and I LOVE the HK milk teas. They are usually pretty run-of-the-mill, but there&#8217;s still a difference between a crappy one and a good one with quality food, even if the dish itself isn&#8217;t original. So when I went to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1071&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of trouble concentrating on things that don&#8217;t require thinking or reflecting. When forced o do things like that, my mind just wanders from the task at hand.
 
So I was practising the piano an hour or so ago, and I realised 2 things that seriously hinder my progress to perfect the piece, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1068&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I want 3 years</title>

I feel that I&#8217;d enjoy myself a lot more if we did. I wouldn&#8217;t enjoy the CCA bit or more exams, but I&#8217;d have greater fun with the learning. The JC curriculum seems to be designed to just cram as much information as it can into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1061&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Prawn Noodles and Sugarcane juice at Kovan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally I&#8217;d go for the stall with a queue, because it usually means that it&#8217;s good, right?

Yet for lunch yesterday I patroned the stall with no one in line, in the middle of stalls with big flashy signs proclaiming their &#8216;60 years of history&#8217; and a queue so long it cut across the hawker centre. I&#8217;m [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1046&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The post-exam outing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was bored after my exams, and I asked SM to go out with me for no real reason, apart from the want to roam about outside. We went to ION Orchard since it&#8217;s new and everything&#8217;s there, but we couldn&#8217;t actually afford much of anything there. Plus, the clothes were quite disappointing.

(LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GERMAN BAND)
 
Creative title much?
Anyway, exams are over, the excitement of the-end-of-exans has worn off and I&#8217;m left bored and alone. 
(I DO have things to do, like practising the piano and packing my room but I&#8217;m putting them off)
So I figured I&#8217;d do the &#8216;mandantory&#8217; post where I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=1032&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

(amazing song, go listen)
I don&#8217;t know why, but before I start on something important, I feel this need to blog about it, as if it&#8217;ll formalize the occasion, ha. I&#8217;ll end up spewing several paragraphs worth of my own expectations, predicted mood and problems-to-be-faced and wishing myself &#8220;All the best!&#8221;.

Things not going to plan(but then again, when does it ever?), tons of work left to absorb, time not on my side&#8230;
 
Today is the day before my Promotional Exams start. From tomorrow onwards, I&#8217;ll begin the week-long journey of late nights, intensive cramming and (hopefully not) stress symptoms. How nice.

Half an hour after revising Geography my hands are still trembling, my heart is still racing and I STILL feel like I will faint if I so much as brisk walk. Whatever happened to good stress? 
 
Enough is enough though. Kindly allow me to rant about my various subjects.

		<title>The soft shade of purple doesn&#8217;t seem to soothe my frustration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve said it many times before and I&#8217;ll say it again.
 
I HATE THE WEATHER.
 
It&#8217;s not so much of the heat I&#8217;m annoyed at. It&#8217;s the humidity. With 30 degrees Celcius, we&#8217;re still way behind many of the countries experiencing 40-50 degrees heat waves, but what makes it unbearable is the 99% or so humidity we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chefsalad.wordpress.com&blog=3887709&post=994&subd=chefsalad&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
