After Exam@Frankie & Benny's

Good food after approx one month of Maggie and frozen stuff. Paradise!!

So, after one month of gruesome revision and another month of battle, we do have to treat ourselves to a nice meal, don’t we? So, 5 hours after our last paper, we headed to Frankie & Benny’s. I love this place. I like the staff*hint hint*, and I like the atmosphere.

This time round, we were given a place right in front of the kitchen. I could see the chef preparing not only our food, but also food for other tables!!*salivate* The actual plan was to go to Mex, a newly open Mexican restaurant which is just two doors away from F&B, but it was full when we arrived, and there was no possible way to fit 18 of us together. So, Mex was safe from us that day, but it would not be for long.

Words sitting on top

On the left is Mai Tai. On the right is Mojitos. Mojitos is really refreshing. Cathy hates it, but I like it.

New York Chicken, chicken breast topped with crispy bacon and Monterey Jack cheese

Black and Blue Burger, with melted blue cheese and blue cheese dressing

Okay, this is what I had, which explain the reason why I could took two photos of it before the presentation of the dish was ruin. You simply cannot expect other hungry non-bloggers to let you have a second take on their food.

Peppercorn Chicken. The chicken breast was a little dry, but overall it was not bad on my tastebud.

Pepperoni & Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken

Serloin Steak with Garlic Tiger Prawns, second most expensive from the steak menu. Lily complained it was tough, although requested it to be done medium well.

Sister Rosaria's Lamb Shank, cooked in rosemary and mint gravy. This is absolutely tasty. I love this!!! But sorry I could not have a closer take of the dish, and sorry I was not in time to take the photo when the plate just landed. Thus, explained the separated bone and meat.

New York Strip Sirloin, although requested for it to be medium well done, it was tough still.

Frankie's Fried Calamari, calamari coated in garlic breadcrumbs and sprinkled with italian cheese. Funny how we people are, ordering appetiser after our main meals. Haha. Anyway, the sotong was reallly tender. Nice!

These were the dishes from my kawan around me. The table was too long for me to take each and everyone of the things that they ordered. There was spaghetti, lasagna, mussles, few more steaks etc. The total damage on us for that night was £250+

Why do I seem to be a better photographer than he is? =P

Post exam notes

For those of you who had prayed for me, a big thank you to you guys.

I would also like to thank YT for keeping me awake and keeping me sane and keeping me accompany throughout the lonely nights.

This is what YT has given me.

爸爸闭翳
This tells about the story of a father and two sons, how a father sacrifice for the family. It made me cried. I like that little boy who acted in it!! He is in many other dramas too. But this is the first that I have seen him in.

古灵精探
Cops with supernatural power. So lame. But funny plot, a little bit of laughing point here and there.

奸人坚
Bad people are not forever bad people.

金石良缘
Brother looking after the younger ones. The younger ones misbehave. Everyone is worth a second chance.

女人不易做/女人唔易做
One woman who is so afraid of things. One very strong cooperate woman. A guy who fall in love with a older lady and married her in the end. Women must not depend on men!!! Kind of a jungle-ed story. Oh, and the little boy is in this too!!

情迷黑森林
CAKES!! Yummy.. The little boy is in this as well!!

人间蒸发
Father looking for son. Mom and the new beau hides the son and even set up a plot to make the son seems to be dead to the father. Turn out the son was not the father’s after all. Long separated twins met. Some mysterious incidents. Nothing else.

天机算
Do not let all those prediction cloud your mind.

天幕下的恋人
Two guys one girl. End of story.

甜孙爷爷
A family with a grandpa who has Parkinson disease, a dad who is always controlled by the grandpa and totally overdoing it when gain independent, the three sons where two of them liked the same girl and the mom. Not so warm a family story, but shows family are forever bonded.

通天干探
Not a really detective-y detective story. Hardly any mystery solving. How can Kevin Cheng play a homo??!

我的野蛮婆婆/我的野蛮奶奶
Hahahahahaha. End of story.

秀才遇着兵
Opposite from the usual XY protecting XX from bad guys.

野蛮奶奶大战戈师奶
Another HAHAHA. I like the make-up of Myolie in there.

最美丽的第七天
The most Taiwan-ish 偶像剧-ish Tvb drama. It united all the lengchais-lengluis of the Tvb scene and with a very偶像剧-ish story line. Why does Kevin Cheng keep being given the roles of a guy who has to hold a lot of secret and has to keep sacrificing for others?

原来我不帅
JJ acted in this. The plot is a total nonsense. The only Taiwan drama of this whole list.

心花放
The usual guy love girl and girl love guy but can only get together after overcoming heaps of trouble kinda story.

There ‘s only one Taiwan偶像剧out of the whole list. The reason being偶像剧 have too many mute scenes which are hilarious, and I had to fix my eyes on my notes instead of the screen. So, I could not possibly just let the show run on my computer without distracting me from my notes. TVB on the other hand, by listening to the conversation is enough to grasp the whole story.

Also, I have to thank Pringles for keeping my stomach accompanied as well.

I just had to keep the tubes to keep track of the amount of Pringles I had in such short time.

Now just hope everything will turn out well.

SCREAM!!!

yes... SCREAM!!! For it’s over!!
Finally, it’s all over… over and done with.
Enough said.



Maybe not. I want to rant, rant and rant. So, yea, you are allowed to leave now.

It’s not totally over and done with though. I still have to wait till the result is released.
Late June, early July. Waiting.

This exam was the toughest have I taken up to date! Tough, because there’s loads to cramp into the tiny brain in a short period of time (Can tell I’m the last minute kind of girl). Tough, because I put so much stress on myself. The pressure is high, really high. This is the first exam that made me put such high expectation on myself. What is the use of putting such high expectation on myself but in the end, I did not put in as much effort as I should have? The irony.

Remember the times when it can be done..
“The paper is next week. Let me finish this piece of art first. I’ll start revising the night before the paper, ok, mom?”

… instead of this…
“The paper is next month. Oh no! Stay cool and revise as much as you can. honey.” Started to talk to own self.

Let’s see what happen in July.

Remember the times when this happened…
“Hmm.. I do not know how to answer this question. 1 mark lost. Hmm.. I do not have the answer for that question. Another mark lost. So, for this paper, my mark is only 98%!! Arggghh.. I want my 100%!!” But the paper turned out to be 99% as one of the lucky guesses had hit the jackpot.

… instead of this happened..
“I don’t have the answer for this, this and that. Oh no! That’s worth 25 marks! Don’t panic.. don’t panic.. I don’t have the answer for that too. Another 10 marks gone. That makes 35 marks gone in total. Oh wait.. I don’t know this too. Another 15 marks gone. 45 marks gone!! Don’t panic.. keep calm.. keeeeeeeeeep calm. I’m not sure of this too... hmmm…” End up the total marks that can be scored is on the borderline of pass and fail.

Let’s see what happen in July.

In the mean time, I still have things to do. Yippee~ I do not have to stare at the ceiling every morning when I wake up.

Finally, coming down to the days..
