I had my recital last sat at the Arts House. It was my 1st time singing solo, and probably the last too. Hehehe... Watching the video, I thought it was quite a bad performance, though there were some fine moments. I felt very anxious and my whole body was stiff. The fact that I lost my handphone just the previous day only served to compound the problem. But most of all, I nvr really had a solid technique. The same could be said of my piano and bass playing. I hardly practised for the recital, wishing that a miracle would take place which of cos didn't. I was very out of breath during the performance and could hardly sustain the phrases. After the recital, my teacher said I was good, for a 1st performance and gave me a hug. I thought otherwise. Many thanks to those who came to support and to Xav who lent me his blazer even though I didn't use it in the end.

Last sat, jh and I went to wan do sik (selling tim sum) at Geylang for our after-dinner meal. We ordered 2 novel dishes and they tasted mediocre, shld have stuck wif the traditional favourites. Anyway, as we browsed through the menu, we discovered several dishes that really looked scary. It's not often that an eating house can be so candid abt its food. That provoked us to take some pictures:
炸鲜滑菇(看起来不是很滑,jh said looks like 炸老鼠)
海中宝
Sambal Sotong
九皇卷
The following dish is 招牌豆腐 that we ordered. Jh said looks like 蜂窝组织.
The taste of their chili sauce changed dramatically. I laughed so much while looking at the menu that when it was time to open the wipes I felt so enervated that I had to ask jh for help. Haven't had that feeling for a really long time.

Yesterday's abnormal tutorial was all abt Freud and we were instructed to read beforehand a few journal articles wif the heading What did Freud get Right. Heng! I had to vigorously defend his theories thruout, but at least I managed (so I thought) to show that his theories were not disproved by current research depicted in the articles. And I particularly relished lambasting an article which tried to generalise Freud's theory of the transference while accusing him of being too restrictive and concerned abt sex and childhood fantasies.
Hehehe... Earlier, a guy from the HIV awareness booth approached me to complete a quiz. And I was given a free condom! *winks*
