This week is the satisfying-cravings-week.
First up, on Wednesday, I brought mama to Ichiban Sushi. I had a rare craving for their sashimi. It's rare because
1)I hate fish
2)I'm scared of eating raw stuff
But. Ichiban's sashimi is so fresh and doesn't have the fishy taste!! Yay! Credits to Greeny for the great recommendation.
We had udon and some cheesy chicken cutlet thing which were delicious as well. Ichiban never fails to disappoint.
Then, on Thursday, daddy brought us out for lunch and we had Jalan Kayu prata. It's my favourite prata place. This time, I abandoned my cheese prata and had egg prata for a change. Still yummy. We always order the chicken curry instead of having the curry which comes with the prata. It's much nicer! And of course, not forgetting the teh tarik which I can't have too much of lest I suffer insomnia =(
Had Macs on Friday. Well, I didn't exactly have a craving for it, but I have long wanted to try the McSpicy again because I have forgotten how it tasted like. Okay, what a lame reason. The last time I had it was in secondary school when it was first launched? At that time, I found it too spicy. Now, I still find it very spicy -_- I was tearing as I struggled to finish my burger. I can hereby conclude that my threshold for spiciness has not improved over the years.
I'm starting to like herbal jelly too. Just had it yesterday. It's supposed to be healthy so that's even better! Of course, I always drown mine in sugar syrup because I can't stand anything bitter. It cured my sore throat the last time I had it. Amazing.

Besides that, January has been a month exploring the different cuisines and tasting loads of yummy food.
Sim held her birthday dinner at Amara's Santaro. It's a Japanese fine dining restaurant. Their dishes are unique and flavourful. They had this century egg tofu thingy which looked dubious but was absolutely delicious. They also added salmon roe to many of their dishes which had a 画龙点睛 effect. I love their sesame and green tea flavoured ice-creams too! We were all given a small cup of Sake but the taste of alcohol was overpowering. I felt slightly drowsy after a tiny sip =x
Ziyan's birthday followed and we decided on Seoul Yummy, which is located at Square 2. It was really so yummy! It was my first time dining at a Korean restaurant ( very suaku, I know) and now, I'm hooked. The Kimchi soup is to die for. At first, I was rather skeptical about the red coloured spicy-looking soup. But once I tasted it, I was addicted. The spiciness was tolerable when I ate it with rice. We had the bibimbap which didn't look appetizing but tasted heavenly. The beef was marinated so well.
A plus point for this restaurant is that the service was really good. The waiters/waitresses were very patient and attentive. They topped up our side dishes without us requesting for it. They even dimmed the lights in our area when we lit up the candles for the cake. After which, they also presented the birthday girl with a complimentary dessert.
Only bad thing which happened was the waitress accidentally gave the surprise away when she asked when we wanted to serve the cake. Haha.
Then, on last Friday, I met Ziyan for dinner at Little India. The only time I have been there was during our excursion in primary school. Thus, I haven't explored the place proper. After taking ages to decide on which restaurant to dine at, we settled for Gayatri. Overall, their service is not bad. But we had some sort of communication breakdown with the waiter when we couldn't understand his description of the food. It was quite funny because he gave the same descriptions for all the food we asked about.

Week 3 of school and I'm still not motivated. And I still don't know how to do my homework. I know I'm going to have a very hard time this semester. I just know it.
And. My group member is making my blood boil. I want to box you >=\

This is for you.
Itsumo Nando Demo//Always with me
A song from the movie, Spirited Away. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it so I was happy to have chanced upon this video. This is sung by Victoria School's choir. They are an amazing bunch of boys. I remember how I was awed by their performance at SYF 2003. They were the choir after us. I felt that we were doomed after hearing them because we really paled in comparison.
I really like the arrangement for the song. Mr Kwei never fails to choose the most suitable songs for his choirs. They have delivered the child-like innocence and purity of this song very well. I heard that they did some songs from Les Choristes too, but I can't seem to find them =(
