Quick update!
Went out with Ben & MN to raffles place for lunch at baikohken! Most unfortunately they added beansprouts to the ramen, which made the soup taste weird...not to mention why didn't I have any charsiew in my bowl of ramen, apart from some bits of minced meat O.o Perhaps they'd run out of supplies and supplemented with the sprouts?
Full from the ramen, we made our way to BK & macs 4 icecream =D So as to clear the ramen taste! Kinda tired of ramen now X( But I'm available for UDON!! Below's a pic of me pretending to drink the melted remains of icecream, and as for more pics, they can be found on fb =)
Headed down to bugis, and played HOTD4...pity that only 1 gun was working! Afterwards we went to iluma, and I tried jubeats for the 1st time! This sounds really lame, but the guy whose machine we wanted to use so as to get everyone in the same row looked a little like one of my JC acquaintances!
In the evening we headed back, and after a quick dinner at home, mom & I made our way down to Chi Garden, since they had Mid Autumn Fest! Passed by some youngsters who complained that the fireworks "totally sucked", which we had completely missed since they went off at around 8pm or so, judging from the suspicious bangs and pops which I heard from the comfort of my home earlier =X
Below are some pink lanterns (which aren't all that obvious here) hung on the trees near CG!
There was so much smoke & dust that this pic below had to be the best pic of the night
Walked a little around the entire park with my mom! Saw a no. of ppl wearing lighted red horns in the darkness, which looked really unsightly...it was like a trip down to a hell =S
Here's a pic of the "Wishing Tree"! People threw the coins & red string combi a la throwing discus..and some people made rather hazardous moves O.o
All in all it was fairly pleasant, but could have been better if got friends around to goof off =D Walked a looong way back! Super tired, but good thing I managed to reach home! Yeah, I know that I could have used the mrt, but just wanted to save some $$ since I didn't think it was worth it =\ furthermore the weather was cool & pleasant, so might as well soak in the atmosphere! Got home & ate some mooncakes, had the baked lotus ones which my dad brought back...they were ok, but I preferred more flavour! Kinda miss the days where they'd include watermelon kernels, because to me, macadamia nuts just didn't quite hit the spot =( But hey, how many ppl actually have a no. of mooncakes in their house...so I should just be grateful =)
Tried some yam snowskin mooncakes, and they're really great! Pardon my pathetically short sentences, as I'm in the middle of IM-ing some friends while having supper =) Thursday's training was more rigorous than usual, having to do squats & horse stances in the same lesson for once! However, I shan't complain, since I'm pretty unfit, having exercise like only once a week for a looong time(random doing of push ups etc at home are not counted!!), and it only serves me right that I cannot do them well enough. Oh well. Real training starts now! XD Must do my best to kick better, because I must bring the grade up! No way would I want to be some incompetent ninja-do practitioner and look like a total fool if ever asked to demonstrate my moves..seriously. Especially when I totally stink at the green syllabus =(( Legs couldn't stop shaking when we got into the starting stance, but luckily it didn't move as much when we did the last few kicks! Still got tonnes to improve on man... Stayed back for dinner, and couldn't get what GM was saying at 1st when the bunch sat down at the table =X Actually he complimented the panna cotta, and I was half expecting comments on the kicks =S Was kinda surprised that Steven & Michael remembered about the macarons here! It'll be a looong time til I make them again guys...it's really time consuming(2 hours just sifting the almond meal)...plus I should go sample from the best 1st and gauge how my macarons should turn out! Many apologies to YS & Daltone at the dinner table...because I talked across YS to get Daltone...and then afterwards I didn't say much to Dalt cos didn't know what to say later =X At least things were ok this week! Pity that I didn't stay back for dinner last week...would be interesting to see how people actually react to my cooking at 1st hand! That'll be all for now. Nothing eventful happened on fri, just that I'm going to sleep at 3am again =( And I want to shop later! Haha. Goodnight world!
