Happy (Belated) Birthday Huijing!

Well, as the title says, Happy Birthday Huijing! Her birthday was really yesterday, but since we only celebrated with her today so I can only post this today! Well not really, but since it’s my blog so what I say goes. We celebrated her birthday at Sushi Tei @ Serangoon Gardens, having our weekly japanese food review once again. No, we don’t really have a weekly japanese food review. It’s just coincidental that Sushi Tei was picked. Anyway, it must have been a long time since I’ve been to Serangoon Gardens. Anyone else sees the irony when people from all over Singapore come to Serangoon Gardens to dine at the various famous eateries and here I am, staying just a 5 mins walk away, and I hardly step foot there. I didn’t even know that a cold storage, and various new eateries have popped up there!

Anyway, back on topic to our Belated Birthday Girl. She has gotta be the funniest girl on earth. Not that she’s good at cracking jokes or anything, but the stuff she does and says… All I can say is I don’t know if I should laugh or cry sometimes. Well, rather that believing what I say, I shall give you some examples!

One fine day on IRC…
[12:34:21] <ching> i went for a wedding dinner
[12:34:23] <ching> one day in advance man

Last week at Hanabi…
nick to her: How’s the Kimchi Ramen?
nick sees her facial expression, then says: Not nice?
her to nick: It’s not not nice, just not nice.

Another fine day on IRC…
[19:55:52] <ching> LOL
[19:55:55] <ching> ooops
[19:56:03] <ching> it was suppose to be a lol

And the list goes on… See what I mean when I say I don’t know if I should laugh or cry? At the end of the day, she’ll still be our “funniest” friend :)

Well, some photos of the birthday cake…

Plates are useful for raising things up…

Too many cameras, which one to look at?

My handphone camera has a countdown function! Too bad the angle is too low…

Wait a minute, we can use stack plates to raise the camera up! Have I told you how useful plates are?

Great Jap Buffet @ A Nice Price!

Sashimi! My Favourite :)

Went to Hanabi @ King’s Arcade with Huijing and Nick for a Japanese Buffet Lunch yesterday. Well, the food was great and the price was okay, considering the 3 of us have also tried more expensive places like Ikoi and Himawari. Well, the spread you can see from the menu photos that I’ve uploaded, so I won’t go into too much detail on those. My favourite was definitely, the salmon sashimi. I mean, I could never get tired of eating sashimi over and over again, and the sashimi here was sweet and fresh. I know, I’m not exactly the food critic but yes I enjoyed the sashimi here. The price, was at $26++ per pax, which works out to be around $30 with GST and Service Charge included. Of course, if you decide to add some green tea ice cream or some other desserts, that would add more to your bill. Overall, I feel the food here had quite a nice variety, and the price was definitely worth it.

And so now here I am, back down to earth after the Jap Buffet. I just finished a project presentation yesterday, well yesterday only because it’s 1.20am now. That presentation marks the end of a module, and therefore that’s 4MCs off my workload now! Also, I finished another module which was a 100% project about 1.5 weeks ago, and that one was 6MCs. That means, I’ve already got 10MCs completed! Therefore, I only have 3 papers to worry about, and these too seem to be easy enough. 1 paper has a weightage of 50%, and the other 50% consisted of projects which have already been done. Another paper has a weightage of 80%, with 20% of labs also done. The last module, seems to be my most worrying. The paper is a mere 30%, and consists of 40 MCQs. So what’s the worry you might ask? Well, the other 70% is a project, and while other people started their projects as early as week 4, I procrastinated and delayed the start of this project until like, let’s see…, last week! Therefore, I don’t know if I should be happy that I only have 3 papers, or that I should be sad that I still have the project to be done. Oh well, I guess I should look on the bright side and think that the exam workload for this year is significantly lighter than the rest :)
