MY favourite FOODs!!

My favourite food??? hmm….
Theres a variety that I like. For my first, I would have to say, STEAK!! Tender BEEF SIRLOIN steak in creamy luscious black pepper sauce cooked to a medium rare state.. OOOOH-MMMYYY-GOSH that is like total heaven for me *jaw drops, drools* hahaha!! :)
When is comes to beef is has to be steak, really. Period. Definitely. For sure.
I do eat the occasional curry and soups, don't get me wrong I love em’ as well, but I really do have to make steak my no. one choice in terms of dish and in the beef dish category. You can never go wrong with it. I dun really noe how to explain tt phrase so dun ask :) hahaha. Anyway, I haven’t really found like the perfect place for steak yet. I'm not really choosy abt it either. Just that wherever I go and there is steak, u can bet tt I’ll be ordering it.

When u slice the steak in its medium rare state, covered with the creamy black pepper sauce, complimented with mashed potatoes, and u put in ur mouth… WOOOO!!! What a feeling!! Hahaha!!

For my second, I would have to say Salmon. Not much elaboration on this one. I just really like it when its pan fried or grilled to perfection in its natural flavour w/o additional ingredients. The taste isn’t to everyone’s liking but I really love it. The crispy skin and soft interior goes ever so well together. I like to top it off with heavy dashes of “Tobasco Habaneiro” ( not sure bout the spelling). It really spices up the whole taste and gives it the extra kick. Haha.

Well that’s for dishes…

For munchies/snacks/tidbits whichever you call it,
I would have to say CHOCALATE!!! Haha!
I love expensives chocolates but being unable to afford ever so often, I just deal with Cadbury or Van Houten :) I really love how it melts and creates a creamy texture in ur mouth. I personally prefer black forest or marble. I’ve tried Merci and Royce. Those are heavenly!!! But of course EXPENSIVE! So yea. Can only have it on few occasions, so always looking forward to it!

Well tt’s all frrm me for this post. If u have any unique dishes I can try, do intro to me a’ite? Thx loads!!

my letter to dr. michel

Dear Dr. Michel,

How have you been this past year? It has been awhile since my classmates and I last met you. Slightly over year if I’m not mistaken. Guess you have been busy. You are Medical Doctor after all. Are you still ongoing with your adventures through the Myanmar Rain-Forest? Hope nothing bad has happened to you, such as suffering from a deadly bite or coming in contact with poisonous plants. Are the people to whom you give medical attention to in the area doing well? Bet they treat you with utmost respect especially since you are one of the few to bother to enter such secluded areas to give medical help. Well as least I hope they do.

Anyway, as for me, school’s been a bore as always. The usual routine of having to sit in class and to learn and pay attention to the teachers and to topics of which does not interest most of us. With all that said, I still try my best to study hard. It is after all my last year in the school, I say this with great pride! *grins* It being so, I have my Ordinary Level ( ‘O’ Level ) Examination to study for. This supported with friends and comical yet serious teachers to make things easier for me. Ms. Heng has become my English teacher for the fourth year running. She is also my History Teacher as well as my Social Studies Teacher for this year. Happy with this as she knows most of us very well and it benefits us, students, as well as we are familiar with her teaching methods.

Other than that, the school has made all students iron on the school crest to their shirts. This has caused almost the whole of the graduating batch to some what protest against it. We did not riot but we did question teachers on why we had to use it. We felt rather degraded as it made us look like a “Senior” Primary school. Adding to this, it is our final year in the school which is even more of a bother.

The school has been repainted. Its rather dull but still, its make the school look new.

My class was previously on the fifth floor. This caused the secondary 4 express students to be angry as we felt that we should be on the sixth floor. Like all the previous senior batches. A few weeks into school, did we then migrate to the sixth floor.

There is nothing else for me to say for now. Do hope to hear from you soon.
Take care.

Johan

My first day of secondary school

My first day of school was just as similar to any other occasion of which one would meet new people. The feelings of nerves and excitement, both at the same time. Most of us, the newcomers, had gathered in the school foyer that morning. All oblivious on what was next to do. We were adapting to a whole new schedule of the Secondary Education level.

I met some familiar faces at the corner of the foyer, by the staircase. We talked for a while basically on how nervous we were and what classes we were in. We saw many of the senior students making their way up the staircase of which we were next to. Making obvious sense that they would know the way to which students had to report, we followed.

We ended up at the entrance of the school hall, situated on the 3rd floor where the canteen and parade square is located as well. With our bewildered expressions, we were approached by teachers as well as students in ties known as the school student councilors. They assisted us in getting to our classes in rows in the hall. The answered our enquires and they were very polite.

The morning assembly consisted of a rather long and elaborative speech. Done by the principal then, Ms Chamb. Following her speech was a power-point presentation slide done by a teacher in the school. A few announcements and welcoming applauses by the school followed. We were then brought to our classes by the student councilors. We had a short briefing done by our form teacher, Ms Heng, and had a little bit of housekeeping done. Councilors allocated to our class then came in and play games with us. The ice-breaker games were fun. We got to no each other rather quickly through this.
Closer to the end of school, we were brought to the hall to learn a dance. The mass dance as they called it. It was an annual item they had for every orientation camp. The dance was rather difficult but loads of fun at the same time.

I personally was very enthusiastic about it and I enjoyed my first day in school very much.
