day to Geylang

DISCLAIMER: NO GIRLS WERE GROPPED IN THIS PERIOD OF TIME

okay anyways, it was a nice saturday and Sarah asked me if i wanted dinner with a few other people, i was like "yeah, sure. call Yang too yeah"

then when we met up at Aljunied MRT, i was pretty shocked by the sheer number of people waiting outside the MRT station... around 20 odd people from the Student Exchange Programme (SEP) from all over the world. While we were walking towards our destination, we were happily chit-chatting and stuff and we went pass this street which had a chinese procession going on right at that time.. many idols were in place, 4 tall "moving gods" were walking around. i was suspecting one of them was the "suei" god, it had ugly features, long tongue and white robes.. the procession was rather long, with lots of clanging of cymbals, beating of drums and stuff like they normally do in CNYs. we stood around to watch for a while while the SEP students were talking pictures of it coz it's their first time seeing this kind of things...

so anyways, we went on our way to the frog porridge stall. on the way i could see people staring at us, i think it's coz there are a significant amount of ang mohs in our midst... not a norm in Geylang? i dunno... well when we reached the frog porridge stall, we could just see the gleam on the boss' face as we all sat down. he was recommending this, and that, and that, and how about another thing, bla bla bla... so in the end we had a big pot of porridge, smaller pots for the frogs legs.

if you have not tried frog's legs before, they are rather smooth in texture and soft. easy to chew, even softer than chicken.

as i was saying, while we were still eating, another bunch of around 10+ SEP students came to join us. WOWS~ at that time the whole place was packed with a class full of ang mohs and exchange students!! ahaha so after frog porridge, me and some people went to the beef koay teow shop right across the street, mmm.... koay teow... mmm.... fried oyster... haha

anyways, the rest of them went babe watching after having our meal whilst me and Kara, Sarah, Sara and Yang went to find a lil keychaing thingy which Sarah lost so we kinda missed the babe watching and also the durian fest after that... i was hoping to see how their faces would squirm and cringe at the sight and smell of durian and even tasting it. oh well, at least i had fun eating in Geylang and stuff...
