Yesterday's trip

Yesterday(Friday ler), me and Hui En went to BTC law library to Study. I woke up earlier than my usual wake up time and we left at about nine. Ok, the real reason for me going there is to err..look at the beautiful campus AND have some ISLAND CREAMERY ICE CREAM. More on that later:P

I thought I cud catch some sleep on the bus but apparently the bus was so fast (like 15 minutes) and tadah, we were in BTC olredi. I realli love the buildings, looks colonial, like heritage buildings when the British was here. I guess it was there since their colonial rule haha. Just that the buildings were given new douse of paint, better architectural design, abit of touch up and fixing..a BEAUTIFUl CAMPUS. I thought I would sulk coz at first BUsiness and Law were to move together to the new BTC. BUt after that, they decided the only LAW will move there. There's a really big field in between buildings, used to be a soccer field. Back in those days where SMU and NTU had BTC as their uni campus, i think that served as a sports field.
It's really so quiet and comfy, but boo I didn't snap any pics.
You shud go take a look at their seminar rooms: the exterior, nostalgic interior so modern.
But the law library not as good as old one la..plus i dun like the chairs..so not comfy
The food there...SOSO..i went for the makansutra stall, apparently they were on Channel U b4 and serve BeefBall Kuay Teow and the like. I really love the beef balls, but consider overall not very good la..sososo..Variety of Food also very limited, chicken rice stall, chai fan, and this noodle stall plus drinks..BOORING rite?
Anywayz, I wasn't doing much studying that day. I'm just so bored circulating the same topic APB, i really think reading further won't help cuz its an open book exam. We're supposed to think on the spot.
The highlight of the day:ISLAND CREAMERY got me really excited. Feel so bad for pulling Hui-En into eating ice cream with me b4 dinner(and that definitely spoiled our appetite during dinner haha). I was quite shocked to see that the parlour was damn FULL. All the JC kids having secondary school reunions according to Hui En. We got the TEH TARIk Ice cream and HOrlicks Ice cream. The TEh Tarik ice cream is their signature flavour-and this was the one that wanted me coming to try. Where else can you get Teh Tarik dude? the Horlicks was well, HOrlicks la nothing special, but its interesting. Teh Tarik really has this strong Teh plus Condensed Milk taste in it, every bit ur Teh Tarik drink made into an ice cream.
Hui-En said it was equivalent to going to Mamak, but in ice cream portions lol. Besides, they also have burnt caramel(funny name), black forest(ooh i wanna try), soursop(hui-en's nxt trip flavour), nutella, reversO(chocolate with oreo bits) and many more la.
I heard they even had TIGER BEER sorbet which was only available during NDP. BUt i dun fret not having it coz i dun take alcohol. Ohoh i forgot they also have PULUT HITAm flavoured ice cream, but i dun recall seeing it yesterday.
Single Scoop$2.50;Double Scoop$4.00;One tub$8
If you want to share with ur fren get the Double Scoop (Duh!) and i think the Tub is really worth it. I donno how many ml's the tub but i cant imagine only having four scoops in that tub considering two scoops is $4.
I'm so determined to bring my Momma when she comes next week so she can have a taste of Teh Tarik Ice Cream.

Ok back to study mode. bored to the max.

Next trip: Botak Jones, Deep Fried Mars bar at Chippys plus THREE MONTh INTENSIVE WORK OUT to burn those unwanted calories:)
