Bye bye PGP! Bye bye NUS!

This week was super tiring week. I finally left PGP and moved in to my new place on last Sunday. The moving experience was not as painful as imagined. The movers (only 2 people) worked very fast. I was somehow pissed initially because I was charged extra for utilities. I know it is partly due to my own stupidity for being too honest. I actually told the owners that I am a "stay home" person I would use aircon a lot. Perhaps I should not say that! Zz.. But oh well.. what happened could not be undone.

It was quite sad for me to leave PGP. As much as I hate it (and NUS), it had been my home for the last 4 years. That makes HALF of my whole stay in Singapore is actually spent on that place. As much as I think I have enjoyed it all, I have not actually experienced everything that the place offers! Lol.. I never actually used the gym in PGP, never used the MPSH facilities, and never actually tasted all the good food in various canteens.

My parents, an aunt and a cousin came here to attend my commencement. My aunt and cousin came first and on Tuesday we went to Long Beach at East Coast Park. I am not a fan of seafood but that was my first time eating lobster. Lol. I don't normally eat prawns (I hate prawns) but my godma de-shelled the lobster and gave me the flesh so I ate lor.

My parents came on the following day and we went to Geylang for durian. Sigh.. that was my first time at Geylang and I was pretty scared haha.. I actually got very angry and quarelled with my dad. I already told them beforehand that I was not in the mood to eat durian on that day. I was on working clothes and I don't want to have my hands (and perhaps clothes) dirty. They took bus there while I went to PGP to take my gown first so I met them later. Tadaa.. They bought me a box of durian and forced me to eat. I was damn angry that I almost got up of my seat and wanted to leave them just there. Don't blame me for the durians being too expensive or the wind previously blew one box of durian to the floor! So yeah.. in the end that damned box of durian was ta-pao-ed for me. It was D24 btw and it was heavenly lol.. The texture is really different from "normal" durians. Lol...

Thursday was my commencement and another petty fight ensued. Sigh.. I shall write about commencement separately. After that, we went to Dempsey Hills (my first time too!). It was an eye opener but I don't think I will voluntarily go back there. Lol.. My aunt insisted on Long Beach again (because on Tuesday my parents were not there) and this time the food was not that fantastic. Lol.. Went to Ben & Jerry's afterwards and I tried their milkshake. It was a waste of $11.90! They put so much milk that I hardly could taste my Chunky Monkey flavour.

We went MBS and casino on Friday. The SkyPark was not fantastic (it was not windy!! how on earth there could be no wind on level 57!) and the casino was..ehem.. one time see and can liao. Haha.. I don't know why the person scanned my employment pass sia!! Zz.. I am still a foreigner so I should be allowed entry just using passport ma! After that I had another quarrel (sigh.. yes I am quarrelling everyday) because we were going to Clarke Quay for a late dinner. I could not tell the taxi driver "Clarke Quay" without the exact landmark ma.. To me Clarke Quay means Central, MRT, Liang Court, or the Riverside. I need the exact location, not just Clarke Quay Clarke Quay.. I was so pissed I tell you.. Had an overpriced steak there. Was not nice but since it was Angus steak, it was indeed more succulent and juicy.

My parents flew home on Saturday and I was having graduation dinner with my clique at the Melt (Mandarin Oriental). By right it should cost $78++ but thanks to DBS card, we got a 15% off. I have a small stomach so I did not really make the fullest out of what I paid. There were wide variety of food from Japanese, Western, Thai, Indian, and desert (?? lol). I did not have the space to tried many things!! I did not touch the various cheese, the cold soba, and the pasta section. My favourite food was the onion soup!! The chocolate pudding was also nice. It was a hot desert somemore! Very interesting. aha.. I was disappointed with the western food as the steak is kinda cheapo (especially after the Angus I enjoyed the night before). And it was weird that they did not even have drinks section, except the alcoholic beverages.

On Sunday I went to have dinner at Sushi Tei followed by Sentosa Resorts World (in the late evening!) and Marina Barrage. As there were not many people, I took a photo with the giant Universal globe. Haha.. Nobody ruined the background but too bad phone camera is just too sucky for low-light condition :'(

And finally yesterday was the finale as my aunt and my cousin left for home this morning. We went to Jumbo yesterday followed by Mount Faber and Mustafa. I guess that marked the last of 7 days when I only had 5 hours of sleep daily.

And it seems that instead of a "Bye Bye to PGP and NUS", the post becomes more of my experiences with my family.
