All in the name of FOOD!

Finally, exams are over. The end of my first semester. How quickly time passes. It’s been what? 5 months already! And everyday I wonder how each day ends as quick as it starts. So now that I’m on holidays, I’m pretty glad, but I’m getting worried for each day draws me closer to my attachment date. Not only that, I also need to worry about my dance assessment. Hurm. How I can manage all that I have no idea. Anyway, attachment is during Raya (how sad), but I will be able to spend my first day of Raya at home! I am so very glad. :D ! So during my long absence, a few dinners had taken place and Jeff is now in Singapore. :D ! Lol. Happily studying his ass off already. XD

1) Korean food at Fresh Bulgogi, Changi Airport.

Yes, trust us all to go all the way to the airport to have some korean food. But we had a car that day, so it’s perfectly fine with me! :P

The food’s pretty awesome! :) And the price is pretty affordable too! Love to go back there again. But gotta find an alternative restaurant, like somewhere nearer, or else it would be hell trying to go all the way back to Changi Airport. LOL. Journey’s long enough. I bet by the time I travelled all the way back to home from Changi, I’d be starving already. Tee hee.

2) Chocolate Buffet at Fullerton Hotel. :)

Ah-hah! I was supposed to go as Atikah’s date, but her real date decided to come in the end, so I ended up being the ‘tiang lampu’ there, if you get what I mean. But everyone was cool, so yeah, I just occupied myself with the chocolates served. Minus the fact that Yanti was disturbing me. But the variety of chocolates… hurm, let’s just say I expected something…GRAND! Like really grand. But there was probably about 40++ variety of chocolates there. Not saying that it’s not enough, God knows how stuffed we were that night, but it’s just like those dessert corners you get in good buffets. The only difference is it’s completely chocolate. It was definitely my heaven, though I certainly do not mind going back there again, I would have to think about the hole it caused in my wallet that night. *sighs*

I won’t post much pictures here, because mainly we took pictures of humans and not chocolates. We were too busy indulging ourselves and trying to finish our share of chocolates. I had 2 cups of chocolate drink, though I would appreciate it if the guy hadn’t put so much milk making the drink, sniff. Less chocolate for me. I wanted a pure chocolate drink! OOOO!! Did I mention? I went hyper the first round! (Those of you who know what I mean, yeah, I became like THAT!) I was DRUNK, on chocolate. And I mean it, because I was sitting there, all by myself, and swaying from side to side, and having fits of giggles. Yanti stared at me and smacked me, thinking I’ve lost it or something. Lol. But yes, for a while, I was like that. Good thing the walls weren’t that near to me, or I’ll be bouncing off the walls! Tee hee. And yes, Kak Nik, sorry, but I couldn’t resist writing with those chocolate on the plate. A habit that reminded me of you, :D !

3) Thai Express at Esplanade!

Tee hee, yes, Yanti and I were CRAVING for Tom Yam and KL seems so far away then. I simply wanted it, and when Yanti suggested Thai Express, I made her come with me. Heee. Or vice versa. Either way, we wanted tom yam. Oh, and we dragged Priya with us too. :D ! She has never had tom yam before so it was a good reason why we took her with us. Besides, she missed the korean dinner, and the chocolate buffet. Hehehe. If only she had listened to me and ordered tom yam that night. Traitor. LOL. The tom yam was GOOD! :D ! Or maybe I’m just really missing it.

So that’s Priya, and Yanti. Oooo! Our drinks were really good! Hahaha, err, I think its something pina colada. Yes there were strange words in front of the ‘pina colada’. Lol. Alcohol-free of course. :P ! The tom yam was awesome!!! Spicy to the max. It looked harmless (look at the colour of the soup, clear!) but damn, one spoonful, and we were reaching out for our drinks! Haha! The spicy-ness really hits you! Tee hee. Aww man, now I’m starting to miss it again! (It’s ok, Zunny, you’re going back to KL soon, you’ll have your tom yam again!) The noodles which I think is pad thai was Priya’s and the fried rice was Affizal’s. Though I cannot remember what fried rice is that. Ooooo! And that appetizer which looked like fish cakes! Those are GOOD! I don’t know what they are, but they’re GOOD! :D ! Thumbs up to Thai Express this time! :D !

4) Dinner with Jeff’s family

No pictures here, though I think there are a couple on Facebook. Anyway, it was just a dinner when Jeff first newly arrived in Singapore. His parents were still here and I had dinner with them and his cousin’s family. I actually had pork ribs!!! T.T! I knew the minute my knife speared the meat! I couldn’t possibly say no to it all the sudden innit?? How inappropriate. It’s not that I CAN’T take pork, I just don’t like it very much. :( My mom laughed when I told her. –.- trust my mom to be sympathetic. She was even teasing me about how good it tastes. Hmph! Just last Saturday I had dinner with him again with his uncle and family this time. Lol. Thanks to them, I actually discovered one of the cheapest western restaurant around!!! Too bad, it’s not halal, or I would’ve dragged my friends over! It’s really cheap (in terms of food here, please don’t ever convert, but even if you do, it’s affordable. :D !) and my share didn’t even reach $10!! A plate of main course and a drink. Cool! It’s like…um…something like a really budget version of chili’s main course. But it still is filling. Hehehe. Now I know where to go when I crave for western food and I am on budget. Sigh, still wish it was halal though. Hehe.

5) Buka Puasa at Sakura Halal Thai Chinese Cuisine, Northpoint.

Well, I don’t have pictures for this one too, but it happened last Sunday. I dragged Jeff along with me, since he was so impatient to meet my friends. Before that I was all alone, roaming the streets of Singapore, in my mission of finding my uncle’s house and getting there in one piece. I sort of made it somehow, seeing that the bus which I took overshot and missed MY bus stop and I didn’t know what to do for a good 15 minutes until I decide to stop the bus at some RANDOM bus stop in the middle of nowhere, walked across the road to the other side, and walked the opposite direction heading towards my uncle’s house. I was pretty far from my destination then. I wasn’t exactly afraid, I was more upset at the fact that the bus driver didn’t know where I wanted to go but the fact is he DOES pass by the road. Sigh. How do these people manage??? What about tourists??? So I managed to find another bus stop heading towards the direction of my uncle’s house and I waited and checked the bus directory for buses that will go my way. It seems a few buses do go my way, but I missed them initially cause I was quite uncertain. And when I finally climbed on board this bus, I asked the driver again this time to double check and this driver was like, “I don’t know, I don’t know.” God I was more upset then. How can they NOT know where the bus is heading to???? So I kept my eyes open and jumped out of the bus the minute I saw my uncle’s place. :D ! I guess I can say I was pretty proud of myself, making my way through unfamiliar territories. Hee. After the visit, I took the bus back all the way to Yishun, which wasn’t as long of a journey as it seemed to be. Still it was almost an hour’s journey. Long. Then I met Jeff there first while waiting for the rest to show up. It’s gotta be the most hilarious buka puasa I’ve had, seeing Atikah actually poured 2 plates of chili padi into MY fried rice, and I was crying trying to eat it. Hmph! THAT I’ll sure get her back for. Lol. We even went to the arcade after that, and boy, was I glad. I beat both Jeff and Affizal in Daytona, woo-hoo! :D ! Talk about driving dangerously. :D ! Heee.

Ahhh…our love for food. :) *tears* I’m glad I found someone here who appreciates food as much as I do. :D ! Though Yanti has admitted that she can’t really eat a lot, but still food is our love! And it’s ok, since I do eat a lot. tee hee. Man, I wonder where all these genes came from. My dad definitely don’t eat as much as I do. My mom…hmm…she’s ok, but she’s sometimes frighten about my love for food. Wakakakaka.

I can hardly wait to go back to KL now! :D ! All the food awaiting for my return! And my friends!! I can’t wait to see them! Can you believe Kim has already booked me?? Lol. I never knew I could be booked. Hmph.

Oh…that reminds me. If you’re weak-hearted, or can’t stand the sight of pain, etc. NEVER, EVER, EVER watch Final Destination 4. Its sick, and gruesome, though I think the previous one was worse. I CAN look at blood and NOT faint, I can look at needles and withstand injections. But I CANNOT stand the sight of demonic slaughter and tortures and deaths in a way only a sadist would enjoy. The PAIN, I cannot imagine, but how it wrenches my heart out in this way. And for this, I blame Tanveer and Ernest, for dragging me along. I mean, ok, I had the choice of NOT watching, but what am I going to do while they’re watching the movie??? Hmph! I can’t be wandering alone there, there’s nothing much I could do in AMK Hub. So yes, I stupidly followed them and went through this awful ordeal in which I was hiding my eyes in my shirt most of the time and praying for it to be over soon. It’s OK that I didn’t watch 3/4 of the movie, it’s OK. I’m perfectly fine with that. I peeped out once in a while and it’s enough to scare me to bits. I believe I was cursing throughout the movie. HMPH!! I’m going to get them back for this one day. But if you’re going to ask me how on earth I’m going to do that, I can tell you, I have NO idea yet. LOL. Sigh. Perhaps I’ll never get back at them.

Guess I’ll log off here. I’m gonna go watch my Inuyasha. :D ! Heee.

Toodles, peeps!
