reminiscing ctown food =)

its the last night before graduation. before everyone leaves and heads off to do their own shit.. omg.. its starting to hit

jeff katz convocation speech got me thinking really about these four years. what i would remember, and what i would treasure from these four years.

i remember..

cafe pacific, for the meetup with the paris gals, hearing slyvia's endlessly entertaining stories and teasing caitlin relentlessly. =)

aladdins, for justine's mispronunciation, bringing my elder sis there to eat

plum tree, for trying out all the amazing fusion sushi with evelyn, for that cweepy server, for sake bombing experiences, the first in freshmen year that resulting in the hilarity of ernest blind wrestling people and the second in senior year of which caitlin was too embarrased too eat. lol

sangam's for the weekly after-church lunches, wen jun finally finding his mamak food replacement @ ithaca, celebrating heidi's bday dinner

four seasons for the first ever meal out in freshmen year with huilin and other seniors, and then the many many many times we went to eat the bento box during lunches, and of course, justin copying me in getting soon tofu chige everytime

vic/bern/shihao's house for the amazing parties and awesomest food, from the delicious cheesecake brownie to the recent lobster. mmm

for apollo, despite everyone's misgivings for it, i stayed through to it and it fed me for two years straight, and with the freshies insisting on going there for routine midnight snacks

for vietnam, with hk people routinely bringing me there, lester intro-ing me to beef cubes, getting discounts via hksa =)

for little thai house, the one time we bravely decided to try it wasnt that bad eh, michelle?

for ruloffs, hmm senior week brunch champagne sucked, i remember a meal there with sheryl in which we lamented/bitched/complained about everything under the sun, oh! and for the surprisingly entertaining sink the pitcher sessions with hksa

for CTB, bringing the freshies there, intro-ing jy to bronx bagel, intro-ing leonard to my fav tuna melt, getting my favourite lox with cream cheese as well as yoghurt parfait, and thinking all the way back to first day of prepare in freshmen year where i first met christina/sheryl/jm and co.. and yeah i thought sheryl was so dao then.. but she was just sleepy, for the outdoors beer/sangria drinking sessions with amanda/justin/lester/steph/ronald/ken kuk and justin insisting on playing with my camera or playing angry birds. lol

for green cafe, the many chill out sessions with alex, the endless smoothies and then the eventual fall of it

hmm.. did i miss out any? oh.. coco's for budae jigae, asian noodle house for an initial good impression followed by the souring with alex's inedible chicken rice and then just plain annoyance at the owner's apparent hatred from asians. lol.. oh.. jack's grill for pulled pork sandwich at midnight

haha.. what fun times.. =)

parting thoughts, part 1

well.. im sitting at the blue lounge typing this shit whilst waiting for my download of windows 7 to finish.. lol.. getting everything i can get before time runs out.

so many thoughts of these four years, so many different experiences, so many different people, so many changes.. i've wondered how to start a semi-reflection of these years.. hmmz.. maybe i'll just do the top 10 most memorable things in my cornell life. (try) can't even rank them it seems

(not in any order)

#1 - tfd to paris

omg.. the city of love, so baguettes, crepes, strawberry tarts, angelina's amazing hot chocolate, the latin quartier cafe where we had amazing french salad, the zomggg chocolate place near centre pompidou, the most amazing experience of climbing up the eiffel tower at night with the sparkly lights, then racing down with caitlin and getting a nutella drenched waffle right by the riverside, the many epiphanies whilst gasping at the many familiar impressionist paintings in the Musee D'orsay, our many escapades AT NIGHT walking back from marais half dazed and trying to figure out where parmentier was. =) really, the epic highlight of that summer, nothing tops paris. i think that justified the whopping cost (sigh) and the choice to do A&S.. hmm steph, leonard, jy, cheehao im so so envious of u guys.

#2 - iceland trip

singing jay chou songs in Reykjavik whilst trying to hobble back to our amazing hostel, the many hot dogs, the breathtaking, awesome scenery especially at the falls, our many mishaps with the stupid cars getting stuck in snow and sand, our ridiculous time-wasting car games naming movies, sheryl getting drunk and finding jm's face inexplicably funny, the blue lagoon experience where interestingly the guys stayed much longer than the girls, the miserable first day. =)

hmm.. my d/l seems to be done.. =) k more soon.

epic slope day

and its not because of drake.

ahh.. i don't wanna grow up. =) so funnn
