Little India Trip

-
Hello! Went to Little India on last Saturday with my brother ~ 
Although I'm a Singaporean, I didn't really explore Singapore much for the past 21 years. 
My brother took me to Tekka Centre to have our lunch there. It was packed but it was fascinating for me, I had fun (: 

How to travel to Tekka Centre? 
Address: 665 Buffalo Road Tekka Centre, Singapore 210665. Click here for google map!
There are different ways to go to Tekka Centre, Little India. We've tried 2 different routes to reach Tekka Centre. 
One of the ways: 

Route 1: Click here for google map (Lavender MRT to Tekka Centre)
  1. Take MRT to Lavender MRT. 
  2. Proceed to Exit B (Turn left after tapping out). 
  3. Walk through V Hotel Lavender. 
  4. It takes roughly 20-30 minutes to walk there by foot. 
  5. The path that we took are shown in the 3 pictures below (in sequence).  
  6. Arrive at Tekka Centre.

  2. Once you're out of the MRT, turn right. 
  3. You will pass through many shops selling daily necessities, henna supplies, spices and dried goods stores.
  4. It takes 1 minute to walk there by foot. 
  5. Arrive at Tekka Centre.

HDB beside Tekka Centre. 
We rarely see this kind of lifts nowadays. 
 The famous rojak stall (#01-254) 
You pick what you want and then wait for the aunty to fry it for you 
We were shocked by the amount. It seriously didn't looked that much before we pass to the aunty. HAHAHA The price for that tray of rojak above was like around $8 dollars plus. I would say it's sufficient for 3 people or so (for them to be full). However, it's pretty heaty. HAHAA but I would say the taste was ok. 
Rating: 7.2/10
 This was ok too. I thought the piece below the chicken on the left was fish but it's not...HAHAA it tasted sour but it was interesting.. something new! 
Rating: 6.1/10
Tried the famous 545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles (#01-326)
You can either pay for $3 (small) or $4(big) and choose either soup or dry prawn noodles. 
 I tried $3 (dry) prawn noodles. 

One thing I like about that stall is that they bother to de-shell the prawns (: 
There have been many reviews about this stall and it was always closed when we visited the place, so we finally managed to try this famous prawn noodles! 
The portion was reasonable, the prawn was de-shelled and the pork lard was crispy too. 
The noodles and soup were ok.. :/ expected a better taste! 
I was a little disappointed about it as I got my hopes high due to all the positive reviews about the prawn noodles. 
However, it's just my own opinion, feel free to have a try and hope you guys will like it!

After lunch, we head up to level 2 through the stairs up to have a look! 
My brother's sexy back hahaha 
 Interesting drawings at the side of the stairs to the second floor of Tekka Centre
 The floor above mostly sold Indian clothings and jewelleries. 
 The view from above and it looked really nice. 

 There's also a market at level 1 of Tekka Centre. 
 The fishes looked really big and fresh. market sold mainly mutton.
 After walking around Tekka Centre, we walked to Mustafa Centre.

Pictures below were taken during our walk to Mustafa Centre. 
 We were kind of lost halfway but my brother led us to the right path eventually~

We reached Mustafa Centre eventually and started to search for our dad's birthday gift ~
Mustafa Centre seriously damn bigggggg and I think it sells everything inside there. 
It is open for 24 hours as well. 
We will continue our search in town tomorrow, my sister joining us ~ 
School is going to reopen in a week time.. and I'm so not looking forward to it..

CDC Driving - Part 1

Hi guys! I have officially "graduated" from CDC Driving School (Ubi) on the 9th of December, meaning that I've passed my final practical driving test on that day !! HAHAA ⌣ For those who are going to start learning driving & have no idea where to start from, here are some rough guidelines for you guys, hope it helps!  Firstly, if you want to learn driving from school ( CDC Driving Centre ), you can go into CDC website-courses to choose which type of courses you will wish to enrol in (for example; Class 3 (manual) or Class 3 A ( a uto). You can first enrol online by filling in all the details and make the payment for the membership fee. However, you will still have to make your way down to CDC Customer Service Counter to:  Submit 1 passport size photograph - for Motorcycle enrolment only. Collect your student booklet and training kit. Have your eyesight tested before your first practical training.  Above information adapted from here .  Remembe...

CDC Driving - Part 2

-
Hello guys! After you guys have started attending all the practical driving lessons, around half way through, the instructor will evaluate you according your progress. He/she will then write down how many more lessons you will need before you can take your practical driving test. Therefore, based on the number of lessons, you can plan accordingly and start to enquire about the practical test date availability.  The availability of the test date will normally be a month later. For example, if I were to enquire on the 2nd of January 2017, the test date may be open around end of February/ start of March or so (I mean roughly). You can enquire directly at Counter 6 (if I'm not wrong) about the test date. You do not have to get a queue number from the Customer Service Centre, just queue directly at Counter 6 to enquire will do. You can also call up the Customer Service Centre to enquire about the test date.  One thing to note is that you have to be present to book the test da...

NTU YEAR 1 SEM 2

-
Nanyang Technological University 2016.  Biological Sciences Year 1, Semester 2.  Hi guys, last semester was like shit. LOL. Sem 2 was so much better for me.. maybe I gave myself lesser stress. I was finding it hard to cope for sem 1. It was maybe due to the subjects (I find the subjects much harder for sem 1 as compared to sem 2) and the new environment too (the change from polytechnic to university). Despite all these.. I've managed to pull through year 1 safe and sound (: So here it goes..   1.)  BS1007 Molecular & Cell Biology I   (exempted)  2.)  BS1100 Molecular and Cell Biology Techniques Level 1  (exempted)  Modules that I took for Semester 2: 3.)  BS1006 Principles of Genetics  (core) I would say that it was manageable? I don't really remember the content for this already HAHAHA 4.)  BS1008 Biostatistics    (core)  There're lectures and labs for this module. For the l...
