feeling grossed out with life in general on saturday, i decided to read The Unbearable Lightness of Being again, and it is indeed an excellent work. i love milan kundera. somehow his writing is so simple yet poetic and every sentence is perceptive and poignant. it is one of those books which absorbs you in thought, making you aware of the small events and decisions in your life, while trivialising the problems which you're caught up in. it makes you conscious of your unconscious. truly, at the end of it you feel that you've reached some kind of enlightenment. read it yourself to appreciate it!

in other news, yesterday i met up with audrey, faithee, mitch and jeanne at NYDC. it was great to see all of them, especially mitch whom i was so happy to see at the crossing outside paragon, because that meant that she was late too! 9 years down the road, and we are all still petrified of mandy's wrath :D

the other person i happened to bump into on my way to dinner was my jc civics tutor. i was blurrly typing away on my laggyashell phone about to use the ATM when suddenly i heard someone say 'sam?' and instinctively i thought ohshit. (nowadays i always seem to think that i'm in trouble, i don't know why.) anyway miss hor was super nice and we chatted for a while about how every med student finds cadavers gross and how the guys are doing etc etc. actually, the whole time i was quite distracted by the ginormous bag of mooncakes she was holding, and i was dying to peek inside! am i a horrible person?

oh and speaking of mooncakes- i (heart) ice cream mooncakes! the past few days i have just kept -happening- to walk into little mooncake stalls in shopping centres, and what can you do at food stalls but try the food? so far my favourites for this season are the bailey's and chocolate ganache ones at raffles' city, although the ginseng with wolfberries and otherstuff isn't too bad either. i want to get the raffle's hotel ones though, because they have oreos in them! oh and i've decided that my favourite snowskin flavour is pandan, and favourite filling is white lotus paste or mixed nuts :D and of course, NO EGG because egg is disgusting and i hate egg. haha :)
