b) Fu Ming Carrot Cake @Redhill Market (9/10)

BEST CARROT CAKE I HAVE EVER TASTED

Carrot cake has always been a favorite of mine, and I always loved the taste of carrot cake. Carrot cake is a great appetizer, with its texture and its taste, be it salty or sweet depending on colour chosen.

The carrot cake is amazing, its texture is just right and its just the right amount of salty. I would advise adding chili to the carrot cake, it makes the saltiness not overpower the dish.

a) Old Street Bak Kut Teh @ Westgate (4/10)

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE TO EAT.

I was always loved bak kut teh. It combined the two things I loved, great meat and soup I would drink for days. After I tried the herbal version, or yao cai, of bak kut teh, I always had been predisposed against the pepper version of bak kut teh, as it simply just does not have the strong taste of herbal bak kut teh.

I always tried to have an open mind, so when I saw that this is a pretty famous bak kut teh in Jurong East, I couldn't help but try. I decided to try the kang kong, bak kut teh and laksa bak kut teh.

Kang Kong: Bland, Tasteless, Sambal felt like it was placed on top for decorative purposes without taste

Bak Kut Teh:  Meat cooked too soft, no texture whatsoever, soup is decent but not as good as herbal bak kut teh.

Laksa Bak Kut Teh: Just terrible. Bland laksa, no laksa taste whatsoever.

For the sake of your tastebuds, please don't visit this place.

Food Critics

Basically I love food and sometimes the food is either great enough to rave about or shit about to be talked about to be posted here.

2) Secondary School Life

Looking back, secondary school passes faster as you go from a Junior to a Senior, from a Sec 1 to a Sec 4. JC life seems like a bore compared to the fun filled times of those cliques I had in Sec 4. I made so much memories throughout the 4 years in Secondary School, be it those fun ones I relish as I take a sip of wine in the future, or the cringe I get looking back at my romantic endeavors. (A story for another time) 

I have so many stories to tell about my Secondary school life, whether it was about my CCA (I suck.), or whether it was about my friends, going to the Secondary school I went to was the best decision of my life thus far. However, this one is going to be about my start in Secondary school.

Some background information to start: I was a fat 13 year old kid that played games instead of studying for PSLE, and ended up with results I deserved to get for that level of effort. Being a pompous, self-righteous brat, I thought I deserved more as a "GEP" student. As a result, I came into this neighborhood school with a lot of hate and negative bias, wanting to transfer as soon as possible.

When I first arrived at the school, I thought I saw what I expected of shitty "neighborhood" schools. A school that REALLY deserved renovation, its infrastructure in dire need of repair and the students disinterested in the institution. 

Perhaps it's just me not able to adjust to the JC fast paced life, or me not liking to do cheers and do ice-breaking, or perhaps me just being nostalgic about the easy times that I have passed, but I am not used to this life. Hopefully, life will get better.

Knowing my luck, it probably won't.
