Binge and Purge!

Another day of gluttony as we celebrate the near end of our post grad days. Today, we headed to Mingles cafe at Velocity, Novena Square for an ice-cream buffet.

After several rounds of hokey pokey, macadamia, cookies and cream, chocolite and banana scoops on waffle bits, the ice cream buffet progressed on towards a sausage onslaught...

Urp! Thank god I have voluntary RT twice a week...

NUS canteen tour of duty

Sigh... This is the last week that I'm an NUS post-grad as come Friday the 13th they will strip me buck naked of my access and matric cards and toss me out onto the streets to rot and die! Nah, kidding! But this means no more discounted subway sandwiches and cookies or the good food at good prices from the canteens (will miss dearly the Vietnamese and Bak Chor Mee stall at Biz canteen for ever piling my plates and bowls whenever I turn up at closing time).

So for this week, I'll go to the canteens with my classmates to bid a fare adieu to those who have fed us through those days where we worked hard to code but our codes hardly worked.

We pay tribute to Edward 'Next Please' the Great at the Biz canteen who never failed to entertain us whenever we queued up for his western fare.

And we will never forget the sumptious (yet cheap) claypot cuisines at the Science canteen, the main reason for us to go down all the way from the other end of campus.

Other food stalls that I will miss include:

  • The Nasi Padang stall @ Biz canteen
  • The Middle Eastern stall @ Biz canteen
  • The Indian Food stall @ Engineering canteen
  • The Ayam Pangang stall @ Engineering canteen

And etc, etc, etc. Oh well, time to binge! Binge! Binge before Friday.

Cosplay @ Ngee Ann City

Met up with my school mate again for another round of cosplay action. Place was packed and I think there were lots more participants this time round.

Seems like the maid and gothic lolita looks are the in-thing...

FYI, this person's a guy...


Whoa! Was starting to get really hungry after several rounds of walking round the venue getting photo opportunities. Met up with more of my friends and we split to Adam Road for dinner...

Tulang...

Indian rojak and roti john plus stingray and satay which aren't in the pix as by the time they came I was too engrossed in the food. THIS IS BINGING! ARWOO! ARWOO!

Vader's Fist: The 501st Legion


Went down to the cosplay held in the front of Ngee Ann City today. Place was packed and had security up the ass as the event venue was to be visited by several members of parliament. Had to have my camera bag and personal items scanned in order to be let into the venue. As I jostled with the crowd to make my way to the cosplay area I chanced upon a booth where they were recruiting people to join the empire. Hmm... will I be deployed to the Death Star after my training or serve on a Star Destroyer?

You will be issued with your uniform and helmets immediately upon signing up

"Don't be a rebel scum! Join the Stormtrooper Academy!"


There was simply no escape from the recruiting officers of the 501st legion. However, I used a Jedi mind trick to convince them that I was an imperial guard sent undercover to infiltrate the cosplay event to capture rebels dressed as anime characters. Stay tuned for the next field report...
