i had hoped it was temporary, but it seems i have settled into a horrific sleeping pattern. 2 to 7 am.
so, last night. was definitely an experience. a very HOT AND HUMID experience, but an interesting one nonetheless.
one i ate dragon beard candy long xu tang for the first time in my life. call myself a Chinese. i can understand the dragon beard part but i don't get why it's called candy. they might as well call muah chee candy. so i bit into it...and a spray of finely grounded peanut rained to the ground. haha, how was i to know! it was quite funny though, and i will eat dragon beard candy again some day.
two we found out that the time it takes to steam 5 tutucakes is the time it takes to make another 5. haha which is very irrelevant but i like tutucakes with peanuts that DON'T RAIN OUT when i bite them.
three i found myself in charsiewpauland because there were so many charsiewpau stalls around both the yummy fake khongguan kind and the not-so-yummy real dimsum kind but nobody wanted to eat them with me. so my craving for tummable pre-match charsiewpau will be again carried forward to the coming week as it has been for two weeks already.
four, and this is the most harrowing experience of all. all through dinner we were plagued by singing from a nearby stage. it was loud, it was sharp, but most of all it was blatantly zao siah. it started off with a chirpy chinese song, but then it got to a RAP, jay-chou style but ultimately inferior with funny hand movements, and then it got to an ENGLISH SONG. rick price! and then they asked for some zhang sheng and there was, embarrassingly, none. and then, just when we thought it could get no worse, it did. and i have a recording of it. HAHAHA.

and if you haven't already noticed i have become in recent weeks infinitely more voluble. i wonder if that's a good thing.
