yesterday was such an unfortunate day. an NTU student slashed his professor, then slit his wrists and jumped to his death. it was horrific.i learnt about the incident around 1pm. it was such a tragedy yet most of the students can make light out of the situation. maybe because it was so shocking that people joke about it to lighten the situation. and im slightly guilty of it too. comments made were like "now is the time to demand things from our profs because they'll be scared of us now", or about this certain disgustingly obese prof: "if we stab him, he wouldn't be able to feel a thing". yea ntu students are mean. of course im not going to reveal who said what or what i said. im just saying i heard these things.
Yay today zac decided to celebrate my birthday in advance. he first picked me up at my place, then drove me to his house. Here are the photos:
zac made me this strawberry cheese cake =) yummy
a small slice for me.... he made it with very very sweet korean strawberries.well, after that, he drove me to this restaurant near dempsy. it's the famous Au Petit Salut. french restaurant.
Zac's entreez of six burgundy snails......... the snails are inside the holes of this special plate. it's quite nice actually. lots of garlic paste on top, which we ate with the free flow bread.
my entreez of salmon tartare with baby spinach and olive bread toast. the salmon is super fresh. i didn't eat the green stuffs. looks gross. and tastes bad. according to zac.
zac's main course of red wine braised beef cheeks with carrots, parsley potatoes and mushrooms. the cheeks of the cow! so weird. but yummy and tender.
my main course of "Hachis Parmentier". it's oven baked lamb stewed with mashed potatoes. this was like heaven. most tender lamb i ever ate. the mashed potato, with other veg inside were cooked till so soft that i cannot taste the weird veg. which is a good thing because this makes me eat the veg.
this is my dessert of sponge cake with pineapple jus (not passion fruit, zac!) and coconut shavings on top. very refreshing and sweet.
zac's dessert of almond macarons filled with chocolate Ganache, with cranberry sorbet. The sorbet is very nice. sour, but nice.
Us with our desserts =)
