美春!

Met up with Ash on Thursday to eat at Miharu! It's been a while since I saw her and she's started working loh! Been there twice and it's the best ramen joint in Singapore, in my honest opinion! I had Miso Tonkotsu (味噌豚骨) and hers was Tokusen Miso(特選味噌 )Some pics below to tantalise your taste buds!



My Miso Tonkotsu! Savoury soup with crunchy corn, succulent cha-shu and marvellicious "lava egg!" Oomph!



Close up of Miso Tonkotsu! Oishii!



Ash's Tokusen Miso!

This came pretty late cos I was lazy to upload the pictures since that day~ It's been a busy weekend for me so far. Next makan with Ash at Curry Udon at Central! After my Japan trip, I guessed~ ;)

It's always a circle... O



I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry! One of the funniest movies i've enjoyed this year so far. Totally hilarious and had me in stitches! Caught it with Ivan and GY on Sunday before meeting up with Law for pool and to buy his pool cue + case.

Story in a nutshell: Long time buddies / firefighters Larry Valentine (Kevin James) and Chuck Levine (Adam Sandler) are getting married to help Larry out of his legal woes.... Until they meet a pesky investigator and a hot lawyer Alex (Jessica Biel) There's this unforgettable scene where Chuck gets to fondle Alex's assets for like infinity... The cinema went "Aww!" But the best parts of the show are Ving Rhames shining in one role which I possibly would never imagine him in and the funny Asian pastor who marries Chuck and Larry....

Anyway, met up with Law later to play pool and we finally got for Law his pool cue and case which costs a whopping, jaw-dropping 780 bucks! But he really likes it and we're ok with it. YY, you owe me $$$, if you happen to read this!

But anyway, v v v v happy to know Law's hot date on Saturday went well! *beams* Wish I could have something like that soon~ *mind drifts off*

12 days to Japan!

Ra-Ra-Ra-Men day!

Heh, had my favourite food twice in a day! Lunch with my colleagues at Fuji Don cafe, which is quite secluded but price is ok and serves pretty decent food! I ordered Katsu Ramen which tasted not bad surprisingly!

Then met Cecy for dinner, which was postponed some time ago when I had to OT in the office one day...

Anyway, we ate at Marutama Ramen at Central! Been there a couple of times and only had the Marutama Ramen and the Karashi Marutama Ramen (slightly spicy) before. This time I tried the Aka Ramen with the soup base made from 7 different kind of nuts. Soup was orange in colour but it tasted really nice! Even cecy said it tasted better than her Marutama Ramen~ Also had Kakuni which is pork belly with seasoning and cooked in a very nice stew~ Woot~

After ramen, we went to Yamakawa Super (a new Japanese supermarket) selling all kinds of snacks and drinks to get some tidbits and a orange pudding which we shared, little doughnuts going at 4 bucks for 12 and to round it off, Hokkaido Asabu Sabo Ice Cream! Yeah~ Had my fav. Rum and Raisin which she had her Macha Vanilla Twist. Too bad I din take any pics of the Ramen and the stuff we ate but I got a pic of the Marutama Ramen on my phone which I'll upload soon when I have the time, i guess...

Peace~

First contact...

After 1 long and tiring week of trying, I finally got my contact lenses on! Haha.. Most of you would laugh at how long I took to wear my contacts but considering that the lenses are 14mm and my eye aperture is only 13.4mm, it takes some level of difficulty to open them big enough, okie? :P

Went out with Law and GY on Sunday for a couple of games of pool and played pretty well, I thought. Thanks Law and GY! Then went on to meet Ivan's friends at Chijmes for a outdoor jazz thingy but it was raining and I guess it was cancelled. Nevertheless, we still took a picture to show that we were there!



Later we all chilled out at a lounge in Swissotel Stamford where we also celebrated Cecy's bdae! If you're reading this, happy bdae girl! =)

Now gotta wake up earlier than usual to wear my contact lenses before I head off to work~ ;)

ようこそ、シンガポールへ!

It means Welcome to Singapore! That's for Ohta-kun who came with Mine from Osaka! It's his first time outside Japan and first place is Singapore! Hehe, nice to see Mine after some time, although I'm going to visit him next month! *beams*

Came in on Friday and stayed at my place till Sunday night, then they checked in into a hotel at Beach Road although I insisted that they could stay at my place all the way~

Brought them to the Singapore Zoological Gardens, Chinatown, Merlion Park, Esplanade, Glutton's Bay, even to Pitstop, my friend's board game cafe! Went there on Friday and Saturday, twice in a row! That was on Saturday..

Sunday. Wet market near my place for a look, then off to Vivocity (Mine wanted to see it so much!), Saw JJ Lin there and i was surprised when Mine mentioned that he knew who JJ was. *impressed* After that the whole lot of us went to Sentosa to the Merlion Tower, Pink Dolphin Lagoon and Underwater World and the Song of the Seas show~ Frankly speaking, I've never been to the Pink Dolphin show and the Song of the Seas show! So quite an experience for me~

Heard that today they went to NUS today and going to Orchard tml! Meeting them for dinner after work~ Took lotsa of photos and going to need some time to edit them before I post them up!

On another note, I had a bad headache at work today and my boss let me go home early. Even missed my Japanese class today as well. *sulks* Feeling a tad better now but hopefully can go to work tml~

Here's something to chase the Monday blues for some~

No... that's not what you think... It's actually a turkey!

Went bowling with Sonia and Tun Naung on Saturday at Safra Yishun and I got my 2nd turkey in my entire life! Turkey by the way is 3 strikes in a row. So that's about a cool 70 points at least already.. Woot! Too bad din take any group photo with them that day and it was a pity that Xin and Adrielle couldn't join us that day too..

Tucked into a sumptous mutton briyani at Northpoint Food court which I dared to recommend to my colleagues. I mean, where else can you find 10+ ppl queuing up at a foodcourt stall? (Although my father says the reason is that the people serving are slow...)

After dinner, went to Changi Airport to see some of my other colleagues off as they are going to London for training! So lucky.. It's part of their graduate trainee program and why didn't I join it at first.... Here's a pic we took together before they left.



Bon voyage! Cya back soon~ =)
