I've been enjoying my holiday ttm! I didn't go work although I sort of found a job, is just that the pay is low and the traveling time is long so not worth it. I guess I just rest for this month? I still giving tuition though, so I hope it will be enough :x
So what did I do so far? I watched SM town live in Tokyo in 3D with qinning last week before she flew to Thailand for her holiday. The movie ticket costs $18 and it was a 1.5 hour movie. A 4 hour concert reduce to a 1.5 hour movie....hais, really nothing much though. All the performances in the movie are their own songs and the movie didn't include special performances. So personally I think is not worth the money. Oh wells.
Then last sunday I went east coast park with shinfen, shunyu and tzumi. And like what shinfen said, it was a replay of taiwan. We cycled for 2 hours and this time round, shinfen and tzumi took the double bike. The weather was good that day. I saw many families having picnic there and there were many tents along the beach. It was the most number of tents I've seen in my entire life. I mean tents for family gathering. Or maybe is just that it's been quite some since I've been to the beach? The only beaches I've gone recently will be those in Sentosa, not those along the island. It was great! I really love to go to the beach. Sometimes I wonder it will be good if I can work at the beach. I will be looking forward to work everyday then. But what kind of jobs can there be at a beach? Lifeguard? I have no certificate for that. Ermmm....I dunno..a good job will be working at a bar along the beach. Can see the beach, feel the breeze while I'm working at the bar. Damm cool. I can even serve drinks to the customers who are lying along the beach. Damm cool! *u*

Hhahaa, anyway, after our 'workout session' at east coast park, we head to Swee Choon. I've been wanting to dine in there for soooooooooo looooooooooooong. Finally did it this holiday! I think the price is reasonable and the food are good! *Slurps* I shared a bowl of 炸酱面 with shunyu and it cost $4/$4.50? It was quite a big bowl for one person. Most importantly, at first I thought it will taste just like a another ordinary bowl of 炸酱面, but I'M WRONG. My first mouth of that noodle makes me crave for more! It tastes super good! It is the best 炸酱面 I've tasted. Maybe because I'm hungry, but it just taste so good! The taste is really different from what I've tried outside and the noodle is different too. I suspect is handmade, but can't be sure though. IT JUST TASTE SUPER DIFFERENT.
For the 4 of us, we ordered 8 types of dim sums, but a total of 10 plates as for 2 of the dim sums we ordered 2 plates. Then shinfen and tzumi shared a bowl of beef noodle, shunyu and I shared a bowl of 炸酱面. On top of that, 3 of us had tea while shunyu had 'micheal jackson'. For all of these, each of us only paid $12 (fyi it's the round up value). I think for the amount of food I had and the quality of the food, $12 is SUPER WORTH it! For the tea you can add hot water after the first round, so in a sense you get a refill. WORTH RIGHT?

From top left to right: 炸酱面, beef noodle, xlb, fried prawn wrap, egg tart, char siew bao, lian rong bao,
liu sha bao, shao mai. I forgot to take the last dim sum! It's a wrap with egg and floss inside. |
LIU SHA BAO! It didn't taste as good as what I've expected. Maybe I still can't accept the fact that it's salted egg yolk which they are using. But it's definitely better than Kungfu Paradise's liu sha bao. See the plate of sushi like food at the back on the photo on the left? That's the wrap I'm taking about.

Egg tart! It's content is really juicy and smooth!
LOVE IT! |
After dinner, we walked to bugis and visited michelle. We did some camwhore before moving on to dessert. there is a dessert shop at bugis near PORN's Thai goof restaurant. I heard that is not bad. Although all of us were still full, we decided to just head there and share a bowl of dessert. HOWEVER, it was full house there. The place is small and there is still a queue. *FAINT* It was quite late already and is a Sunday but there were still people queuing for dessert. So I guess the dessert is good? I shall go there again another time and try their dessert.
As for today, I went tuition then head to Jcube to have dinner with shunyu before we watch 'Ah Boys To Men' with shinfen. It is a funny movie. I wouldn't say very funny but is funny luh. I think this movie is really interesting and the scene at the start which depicts how Singapore will look like when she is being under-attacked is really scary. It looks so real. It's my first time seeing things related to army. The bunk, camp and all. The bunk was so much better than what I've expected. I wonder if girls need to serve the NS how will it be. Interesting isn't it? I think the best part will be able to slim down in just few weeks. HAHA. But looking at how the sergeant shouts and being so unreasonable, I think I will just breakdown. So really must give the NS men a round of applause as they went through such a tough training, both physically and mentally. I will definitely catch part 2 of this movie and I assume it will be as good as the first one :)
Right now I'm reading this book: The Solitude of Prime Numbers. Don't be deceived by the title, it has nothing got to do with math. Here's the description about the book:
A PRIME NUMBER IS A LONELY THING.
It can only be divided by itself or by one; it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia, both "primes", are misfits haunted by early tragedies. When the two meet as teenagers, they recognize in each other a kindred, damaged spirit. Years later, a chance encounter reunites them and forces a lifetime of a concealed emotion to the surface. But can two prime numbers ever find a way to be together? The Solitude of Prime Numbers is a stunning mediation on loneliness, love, and what it means to be human.
I just started on this book so can't comment much. I hope it's a good one. I think using prime numbers to describe them is really the best way to express the loneliness.
Currently, I'm watching this drama: 爱情闯进门. It's by Victoria from f(x), Calvin from Fahrenheit, Zhou mi from Super Junior M and some other actors and actresses whom I never seen before. I guess maybe they are from China? This is because this drama is filmed in China, furthermore, it's being dubbed. I prefer to hear their real voice though. Anyway, this drama is also something like the book. The male and female lead met each other when they were young at the orphanage and they tried to look for each other when they grew up. Now that they found each other, things got worse due to their identity etc. I wouldn't say this drama is very nice cause I think is kinda draggy. Since I've started watching it, I have to finish it so that I know what's the ending, isn't it? It's a freaking 32 episodes! The longest 偶像剧 I've seen, now you know what I meant by draggy. I left 10 more episodes to go though! :D
That should be about it. Tomorrow I'm going to stay over at Lynn's house with qinning, IT WILL BE FUN! :D :D :D
