Lost? Fret not.

I've been contemplating to skip school today. The decision was made when Chia Hui wanted to skip Apel haha.

Watched Land of the Lost. Pretty lame show but watching with a lame person pretty much made it a good one. A very light-hearted show, good to watch to lighten your mood. Oh, don't forget to stay for the credits. Everyone left before the end of the interesting animations and missed the last part.

It was a good rain. Walking in the rain is really sweet. Provided it's with the right person. Walking under the umbrella is sweeter haha.

Hardy Rocky Café

Let me start off with my Korea Ginseng Chicken BBQ Buffet on Wednesday at Crystal Jade Korean Restaurant, Centrepoint. The receipt is longer than my 14.1" laptop!

Seafood pancake; Beef; Mutton; Chicken Fillet; Bacon; Pork; Fish Fillet; Cuttle Fish; Chicken Wing; Sausage; Grilled Mackerel; Dumpling Soup - Beef; Seaweed Soup (Beef); Beef Soup; Fried Rice with Seafood; Coconut Sage; Chilled Coconut Cake.

There's still some Kim Chi variety and spicy meat and mussels and red bean cream, which I didn't try. So anyway, anyone would see that I pretty much enjoyed eating because the quantity was not x1 but x2,3,4 and maybe more. I think I ate the most at my table, though I don't think they would agree lol.

Then Friday, is the day I finally mended my jeans. I'm having regrets about going Lucky Plaza now. So what if Levis recommended it? This is a place where everyone cheats everyone. I mean, it's a tourist attraction for goodness sake. Should have let Chia Hui's mum see it and let the pro do it.

Dhatch and I walked quite a bit to hunt for Hard Rock Café. Just the name itself has enough attraction isn't it. I'll just say, Hard Rock is not called Hard for nothing. In every single drink, and I mean EVERY, it contains hard liquor. I couldn't even tell what kind of liquor is that except the Baileys Irish Cream whatever coffee. The one I ordered was Café XXXX with Grand MXXXX and Tia Maria. I didn't think much and just chose that. Turns out, the coffee made me more sleepy instead of the intended effect. The liquor was so strong that I ordered some snacks to go along. However, second mistake. What did I do? I went to order Bruschetta with loads of tomatoes and just olive oil and permesan cheese to go along on the garlic bread. Tasted a bit like vomit, I managed to gorge myself on that. The service was fantastic though. Had to ask 3 times for a menu. Never wanna go again haha.

Buffets are so wonderful, though the after effect usually isn't. I have a good news to share! HOKKAIDO FAIR is coming soon from the 3rd to 12th. I'll probably go on the 8th since the ramen I want is only available from then.

A List of Must-Haves:
Gyokai Shoyu Ramen (Fish Soup Base Soy Sauce) $12
Mori No Ikameshi (Seasoned Squid with Glutinous Rice) $6.80
Butter Manju (Custard) $12

I already bought a can of Sapporo classic canned beer at Orchard. As for the squid and cuttlefish we always get, it's 3 for $25. Haha need to be thrifty for the week for my japanese food stuffs. I spent over 30 at Hard Rock can you believe it. Well, consider buying an experience. I think their choice of music sucks though - they played Michael Jackson ALL DAY LONG.

a day with dad,

Not that nothing happy happened...

I had dinner at Shokudo at The Heeren with some of the guys the other weekend. Swimming was enjoyable, at any time; so is running, cycling and playing basketball. Of course, it would include my training.

Other than that, I did meet up with Yu Ting. She's doing fine, but only keeping in touch with her TJC friends. She would be flying to England, University College, London, to study arts in September. Nothing interests her as much as arts. James would be studying overseas too, also flying off in September. 2 more months to go, we should probably meet up again before the 4 years of distance.

On the 16th June, we celebrated Florence's birthday with the Jeremys, Chia Hui and Dhatch at Teo Heng. I think the cake could be better though. Any one from Angie The Choice or Awfully Chocolate. Money constraint, oh well. At least it was fun.

So it was Father's Day yesterday. I had thought it to be last week, since I had the impression it was last week. Last week was National Poomsae. All I could say is I did well since I made no mistakes other than the parts which I couldn't correct. Silver, again. It was a close call this time round, being 0.1 and 0.2 ahead of the other 3 participants. While the gold medalist? 1.0 point leading. I wonder how she did it.

Awaiting the award ceremony, AiZhen & I went to Suntec Convention Centre to find the guys. It was supposed to be this way, apparently it did not happen. Took the card, bought the Zen, ate our lunch at 5pm, McDonald's delivery to Pacific City and returned the card. And I only took 16min to and fro Creative store -.- At least it was funny to think about it haha. Plain childishness though........ Bad influence.

Back to Father's Day. Dad took me to ParkRoyal Hotel which he said was Plaza Hotel sometime somehow. Whichever the case, we had our buffet dinner at Plaza Brasserie, upon his friend's invitation.
