So once again, it's been requested that I liven up my blog with a more constant supply of new posts, pictures, rubbish and whatever not.
And of course, that is why this post will appear on my blog.
Soooo, the previous week hasn't exactly been what I'd describe as one which is particularly eventful or exciting. There hasn't been that many highlights to point out (only 2 that comes to mind immediately in all honesty).
Highlight No.1 (Wednesday) -
Egg mayo making session!
Headed out in the early afternoon to meet my Awesomest at J8 to do some grocery shopping at NTUC. Ended up buying chips, curry powder, iced lemon tea and some other random items, LOL. Headed back to my place after that to prepare everything. Fun times much :) Everything went smoothly! (YAY MY EGG WAS BOILED FOR LONG ENOUGH LOL). Made some awesome milk tea as well (teehehe) and a bowl of soup. The end products were 2 awesomely yummy looking egg mayo sandwiches (one with curry and the other with pepper, hehehe) to satisfy our tastebuds, a "gong" (tin HAHAHA) of creamy milk tea and a bowl of Campbell goodness.
By the time we were done with everything it was kinda late so we just slacked for a bit more and the Awesomest headed off as I had an appointment with Jim. LOLOL.

Highlight No.2 (Saturday) -
USS!
Spend the most part of my Saturday at the Universal Studios - Singapore (USS) with my famz! Reached there around 1pm and I must admit, I was instantly amazed. The place is very, very well done! Immediately upon arrival, I instantly felt as if though I was transported to another country, considering the fact that the general theme has a very American feel to it, so yeahhh. My constant wake-up slaps though, were the majority of visitors (the locals) and the weather ): The rides too, weren't that shabby either.
And since our tickets all came with a $5/$10 merchandise and food voucher respectively, we decided to just have our lunch there. Decided to try appease our growling stomachs at "Mel's American Diner". No offence, but the overall service was kinda slow and poor. There were numerous times where the staff ended up getting confused. The most confusing part though, was the diner's ordering system. You start by proceeding to a cashier right infront of the counter where you place your order. Once that's done, you've gotta move forward to the counter itself, where you wait for your order to be processed and readied. Pardon me if that's how things usually are in the States, but I'm certainly not used to it. It makes it really troublesome should that be an error in your order :/ The food too, wasn't particularly stomach-happiness material. I mean, it's not terrible, but it only tastes... average (N). LOL. Ordered a cheeseburger, a chilli cheeseburger, a chicken burger, a chicken caesar salad and a vanilla milkshake. I'd like to point out 2 items, which would be the salad and the milkshake - really poor stuff there.
The salad was bare, for $8.90, all I got was a chunk of the same kind of veggie, 5-6 slices of roasted chicken and some croutons. Now, that'd usually be enough to satisfy me, but the price wasn't justified by the portion. And worst of all, the croutons were SOFT. I absolutely HATE soft croutons. LOL. And while I don't exactly mind this, only having one kind of greens do make your salad look rather unappetizing :/ As for the milkshake, pfft. I'm not even sure if I should call it a milkshake. Y'know what, I think I'll call it vanilla-flavoured sugar water from now on. It was seriously SWEET. No wait, it was SERIOUSLY VERY Z0MGWTFBBQ RUKIDDINME SWEET. And it wasn't cold. And it wasn't thick enough. And I could even see a thick layer of syrup resting at the bottom of my cup. Fail.
Spent the rest of the day checking out some of the other attractions , taking pictures and making use of our $5 discount coupon for merchandise.
Ended up spending a good 6 hours or so there before heading off. I'll say this again, the design of the place is really, really nice! My biggest complain though, is the limited amount of attractions available. If I remember correctly, we're talking about a mere 20 or so attractions (excluding retail shops and eateries). That, is really sad. I still want to go back soon though! I didn't get a chance to try out the rafting attraction thingy ):
So yeap, that's about it.
Some things have been bugging me non-stop, but I think I'll skip talking about it here. Some of you might know what I'm referring to... or not. It's truly a major irritant :/
A large chunk of next week will be spent at home, since the Awesomest will be quite busy. Only planning to head out on Tuesday as of now. Quickly now, entertain me -_-
P.s. I can't reply to the tag(s) because my tagboard is currently down and that means that I wouldn't be able to see what you've said and hence not be able to reply you. No, I wish I was gifted with photographic memory but I am not. Too bad.
