Woke up at 9.30am yesterday. Usually, it's okay if I wake up at like 2pm but yesterday was different...because...I had work at 9.30am! In addition, I was the only one holding the keys so ya, it was really bad. I had to run all the way from the MRT station to my workplace and surprisingly I managed to reach at 9.45am. Whew!

Went out with the Hiroshima Internship people at night. Ate at Sushi Tei located at Takashimaya. OMG, never knew that it was so popular. We had to wait for around 30 mins before we got a seat.

Kimchi and gyoza. Had a craving for gyoza but this gyoza was really too oily for comfort.

The ebi-don. Hmm...dont know what to say. Wasnt that nice after all.

Had a craving for sushi so I went with Donna for a sushi buffet at Suki Sushi. I prefer sushi buffet at Suki than Sakae. With free flow of juices, any order of sushi as long as it's under $4.90 and like 5 hours for you to eat, you can see why I prefer eating at Suki. Hee.

Orange and guava juice.

Salmon balls~! Never knew that salmon had balls...hmmm. ^_^

Yakitori. This was really good and I totally loved the leek!

Ika tempura. Damn cute way of serving. It wasnt as oily as Old Chang Kee's and it was damn shiok~!

Butter-yaki Hotate. Wasnt that delicious but since it was a buffet, cant complain that much I guess.

Went for a Korean buffet at Suntec City 2 weeks ago. Cant say that the selection was that wonderful but it was worth the money for the amount that we ate.

Food and more food!

Bibimbap.

The seriously oh-so-wonderful strawberry cake Peggy bought. The strawberries were to die for!

The birthday girl, Ann.

Ann and Eileen. (Where are the rest of us?!)

Something that I saw at Suntec. Is this a pig or cow?!

Havent been updating for a while because acer died on me and I had to send it for repair. So the Japan blog is still not done yet but below's a brief outline of what I've been doing the past few days.

SB3 Outing at Manhattan Fish Market

Had a SB3 outing at Manhattan Fish Market on the last Friday of June to celebrate Tommie's birthday. I think that MFM is almost similar to Fish & Co just that the latter's menu has more choices. Nonetheless, the food at MFM was great! The Seafood Platter for Two that I shared with Ray was really worth the money! There were 5 oysters, 4 prawns, 2 pieces of fish, lots of calamari and rice. (Ok, stop laughing at me for counting the amount of food.) Even the weird long bean salad was good. In fact, it actually tasted like french fries. -_-.

Kym, Me, Li Ming. The three of us havent met up for like ages~!

Tommie eager to eat his birthday cake?

Ray trying to feed Kym a piece of the Tiramisu cake but didnt manage to do so.

Although not everyone turned up for this outing, it was still a quite fun one nevertheless.

After dinner, we went to Novus at the National Museum(or wherever it was, cant remember) to have a drink. I had a very sweet lychee martini. Nicolle's guava martini tasted like...guava juice and Kym's drink tasted like Chinese medicine. Kar Fai's drink was even better. It looked like milo dinosaur. Haha.

NDP 2007 2nd Rehearsal

Went to the NDP 2007 Rehearsal with Tommie, Li Ming, her brother and his friend. NDP 2007 2nd Rehearsal was kind of sucky, sad to say. First of all, the weather that day was crazily warm and there was no wind at all! Secondly, not all performers were there so when they were supposed to appear, there were people holding up placards instead. For those who actually turned up, they were lip-synching. Thirdly, there were no fireworks that day at all! How disappointing. Throughout the rehearsal, there were many hiccups and it was obvious that more rehearsals were necessary. However, I really liked the part where they introduced the VIPs and they had random people holding up placards with 'VIP' written on it. The random person who stood in for PM Lee was really funny. He was waving to the audience as if he were the real PM Lee. The audience was responsive enough to wave back to him and took photos of him too.

The weird dragonboat race with one dragonboat racing against 2 motorboats and still managed to win in the end. -_-.

Some new formation that the army has. This pose garnered much laughter from the audience instead.

Ate at Thai Express after the rehearsal. Thanks to Ray for the treat!

Out with my host family
My host family from Japan came to Singapore so I brought them around last Friday. I had high-tea with my Okaasan at Goodwood Park Hotel before going to the Singapore Art Museum. The taxi driver who drove us to the SAM was a newbie and he himself was lost while driving us there. At the SAM, we saw NJC students and my Okaasan was shocked by the colour of their uniform, commenting that their uniform looked like working clothes. Hahaha, so it's not only Singaporeans who find the NJC uniform not-that-pleasant. On the other hand, she liked the ACJC uniform. :D

Went back to the hotel they were staying in to wait for Otousan to come back from golf. OMG, Shangri-la Hotel is like so freaking posh! 2 cans of coke cost like 8 freaking dollars. So rip-off! Considering that the company's going to pay for the bill, I drank a bottle of oh-so-delicious mango juice for $8. It was so damn good.

I brought them to Vila'ge for dinner where we had sambal stingray, crayfish, buttered scallops, salad, pasta, pizza and rosti. OMG, the amount of food was just scary. Thanks to Donna for helping me test the food before I brought them there. After dinner, we walked around Takashimaya where they had their first taste of bubble tea before taking the MRT to the airport. It was kind of sad that I only had one day with them in Singapore or else I could have had brought them to more places. :( Then again, it was a fun-filled day! And...I felt quite paiseh receiving so much omiyage from them again.

The youkan-like thingy.

Akkii Lucky Cookie. Such an interesting name for the cookie, and it rhymes too! There's like a sketch of Yon-sama on the back of the box because Akkii likes watching Korean dramas. Hahaha.

07/07/07 TC Outing

Li Ming wanted to see Daryl getting posessed by Jay Chou during karaoke so Kar Fai organised a TC outing that Li Ming didnt turn up for. -___-|| Anyway, we ate at Pastamania because I had a craving for Italian food before proceeding to Kbox.

So ya, Daryl got posessed by Jay Chou once again. I wonder if Andrew is in pain or what and what caused it. Haha.

Nicolle and me.

Andrew was waving his hands to the song when the waiter outside thought that he was signalling to him and came into the room. OMG, that was seriously funny!

11/07/07 Just Outing

Went to Mussels Guys at Vivo for lunch today. Had this Seafood Special Pasta in Cream Sauce...or whatever the name was. The pasta was seriously yummlicious but ya, I just realised that I suck at eating pasta. I managed to make the cream sauce spurt out from my plate and poor Sharon seated opposite me was my victim. Paiseh!

After lunch, Karen went off early so the rest of us went to Daiso because I wanted to buy my cheapo tea. I love the cheapo tea Daiso sells! In fact, I love Daiso la, there's just so much stuff there going for only $2! After Daiso, we went to the pet shop to look at pets. OMG, they were so freaking cute but the variety of pets Vivo has pales in comparison to the Malaysia one that I went at the start of this year.

Next up was window shopping for clothes. Went to Esprit, Zara, Topshop, Forever 21 but didnt get anything at all! Sharon, Weiqi and me actually planned to walk fast enough so that Leonard and Tony would get left behind but somehow they managed to find us...no matter which shop we went to. Their radar is like damn powerful can! After that, we went to Carls Jr to sit down and chit-chat where I managed to laugh till I cried. The Christian episode never fails to make me laugh. :D

Yup, so basically that's what I did for the past few days beside work, going for Korean classes and overworking my Mac.
