had one of our routine food search outings since it was mid-sem break.. and we found this middle-east restaurant~ Amirah's Grill~ tt serves really special food.. well, it was yummy as well of cos.. plus it's really cheap.. $9.90 buffet lunch.. complete with drinks, dessert, salad, soup and a variety of middle east food.. yum yum.. each of us told a couple to name cards back to give to our other frens..
the restaurant deco is quite exotic and the lightings re quite dim .. but it's really quite homely.. they even have sofas and stuff upstairs tt feels almost like your living room..
a group photo outside the restaurant..
here's eygptian chix soup, arabian herb fried rice, turkish mutton kebab, with some cheesy portebello grilled fish.. really yummy.. doesnt look good in the photo though cos of my lousy hp camera and the dim lightings..
and smth worth mentioning.. the fruit punch here is real fruit punch (mixed freshly squeezed fruit juice), considering that hotels serve syrup fruit punch.. the ice lemon tea is also home-made.. with real lemon juice..
the sincerity of the restaurant is wonderful.. no campbell cream of mushroom here.. they onli serve home-made creamy mushroom soup (although it was too diluted for my liking, i like super thick ones)..
the last photo b4 we left.. this time with mindy as well..

Butterfly Kisses- Bob Carlisle
There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy inmy life,
But most of all, for...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the ponydaddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her mommaa little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a greatbig world.
But I remember...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,I'm only going to kiss you onthe cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride roomjust staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking,and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over....and gave me....
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Sticking little flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?"
"Daddy,don't cry."
With all that I've done wrong,I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

realised more tt i'm a vv weird gal these few days.. been feeling so fan2 bout whether or not to move into pgp for days and my poor bbm kenna all my irritating calls everyday.. frankly.. staying on campus is quite lonely esp when u re in pgp.. everyone locks their doors so u dun get to see or know many pple.. but of cos.. the good part is that u get freedom (tt u cant get at home) as well as there's no tv here.. which is a vv good thing since i can sit down for hours watching any crap tt is shown on scv.. but even on my first day here.. i'm beginning to miss home terribly.. put it correctly.. there's even a choking loss of sense of security staying here.. sad to say.. however strong i try to act in front of everyone, i'm a poor girl who desperately need a tonne of sense of security to accompany me..
quite a few times since i checked in.. i was thinking of moving back home immediately.. and i just cant stay walking out of my cluster gate.. the last time when i stayed, it was so different.. i knew tt wadever tt happens, i've got my dear bbm ard.. this time i'm all on my own..
den again.. i know i have to grow up.. and where is better and safer to leapt out den nus hostel life.. perhaps i'll grow more independent.. and perhaps even more self-discipline.. considering this is a crucial semester for my step to fyp.. i guess i have to do it..

spent an entire day clearing up the ps room for the last time before passing it to the next welfare director.. decided tt i've asked too much help from the welfare pple so decided to finish it myself.. only realised wad a big trouble i had after i saw the state the room was in.. everywhere was filled with stuff.. it was simply a horrid sight..
spent 2 hrs clearing the mess in the cupboard b4 bbm arrives.. and when he arrives.. everything got fast-forwarded.. he was dashing here and there to clear up the place.. nevertheless.. it was 10.30pm by the time most stuff was completed and we could finally leave and head off for dinner..
looking at the ps room makes me feel a little upset.. soon.. and very soon indeed this room will no longer be mine.. considering the time when the room was first ready and when we were still helping huxian clean up the place, it's been already 1.5 yrs since i became invovled in this room.. i guess it's this place tt helped made me feel at home in nus and it's this place tt i got to know so many more pple, had exco, foc, rag meetings..
bye ps room and thanks for the wonderful memories..
