Brugges and other stuff..... / Tuesday, October 16, 2007
On fri, the singaporeans clique of eee held a pot-luck, where everyone fr seniors to juniors had to cook something. Staying at a catered-hall, i actually didnt know what to cook. But when xuan you said he was cooking bah ku teh, i offered to chip in. haha......That was my first time cooking in uk....and i have to admit i was quite noob.....didnt know must wash the meat...i thought the meat would have been cleaned already.....as that day was pretty slack, we had time to cook the bah ku teh at yijun's kitchen at beit. After much brewing and addition of soy, dark soy and oyster sauce, the soup tasted somewhat nice. haha....At the pot-luck, there was lots n lots of food and it was the first time that we juniors tasted KFC, which was really good at that time(maybe we were jus too hungry.) After the sumptuous dinner, there was the introductions and mocking of other "people" (have to be politically correct here.....) At the end of the event, was the handing over of the sacred logbooks and notes from seniors.....A eee tradition....haha......
Dragging the heavy notes around, I finally reached xue kun's hall, ready to sleep over and prepare for the day trip to brugges.
5am, having only slept for 2 to 3 hours, we had to wash up and hop onto the coach. which took us on a 2 hr journey to dover. From there, we had to take a 1.5hr ferry to France. The coach actually drove straight into the ferry. Cool rite....

"holy" rays from the heavens?
Finally, after another 1.5hr of nap time in the bus, we arrived at brugges....however the coach jus dumped us at the carpark...we had to find our way to the city centre, which was about 20min walk away. It was a pretty small town, with traditonal european structures, nothing much actually...haha... firstly, we were quite hungry and the lure of belgian waffles with ice cream was to great and we all sank out teeth into the hot buttery waffles that was complemented with the sweet creamy praline ice-cream....yum....next up...to find the speciality of belgium...chocs.....

3 hrs....that's all the time that we had in brugges....a little too short...but the journey back is really long....so that's a sacrifice.....
guess i had lots of stuff to say...but too lazy to write .....haha....
so on mon, went to queen's theatre to watch les miserables.....was really gd.....we were so near the front that everything was so clear...and it only cost 67 sing dollars.....gd deal....though i did not really thought much about musicals, after this one, i guess i'm hooked...haha...but then again, the number of showsthat i watch will depend on how deep my pocket is...haha
