Mooncake festival came and went, and how could we miss out? 

Mooncakes from the asian grocer.

  

 Nothing like the ones back home though. u lucky peeps should treasure yr mooncakes! lol

  

  

  

SSA's mooncake fest.

  

Went to docklands with the housemate for lunch one sunday. Haven't been there in a while, especially in the day with the glorious bay views and sights of the yachts docked there.

It's nice to know that despite all the changes in life, all the things that happen, some things remain the same. The beauty is always there and nothing can take that away.

  

  

  

Our YUMMY spaghetti marinara.

  

Trout and prawn with truffle oil. delish!

 

be still my heart

free

怎麼隱藏 我的悲傷
失去妳的地方
妳的髮香 散的匆忙
我已經跟不上

閉上眼睛 還能看見
妳離去的痕跡
在月光下一直找尋
那想念的身影

如果說分手 是苦痛的起點
那在終點之前 我願意再愛一遍
想要對妳說的 不敢說的愛
會不會有人 可以明白

我會發著呆 然後忘記妳
接著緊緊閉上眼
想著那一天 會有人代替
讓我不再想念妳

我會發著呆 然後微微笑
接著緊緊閉上眼
又想了一遍 妳溫柔的臉
在我忘記之前

心裡的眼淚 模糊了視線
妳已快看不見

today i free myself. i wish you both happiness.
I send gratitude to my guardians out there. I look forward excitedly to what lies beyond.

edelicious

so yes, i have finally recovered and am feeling heaps better. YAY!

Work has started to get more busy, which is good. The worst thing is having to sit around and wait for time to pass. I got my namecard.. hehe...

Ain't it preeeeeettttyyyyyy... hehehee

Anyways, lots to say as usual but its bedtime already. till then.

bukan satu hari berlalu yang kamu tidak di fikiran saya

literally blowing hot and cold

I seriously have no idea what i've caught.

I've got a combination of fever, headache, runny nose, dizzy spells and chills. I've blown my nose countless times that the skin is starting to peel and hurts. And the fever albeit better, keeps threatening to come back and I alternate between having chills and feeling hot.

IT SUCKS.

I am not well, yet not totally sick that I can't work. BAH.

 

I WANNA BE WELL! ARGHHHHH

the square root of three

I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
A three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath a vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
And with a wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
And love for me has been renewed.

Shoya

Had dinner at Shoya the week before and boy was it good. the one hat this restaurant has is very well deserved. unlike Red Emperor which I have doubts about whether it should really have a hat at all.

So yes, we had the degustation menu which was bloody awesome. We went with the Chef's “OMAKASE” selection, and at $100/head it wasn't very expensive for the quality and type of food we were having.

First up was the Unagi Canape which usually sells at $12.00/pc. 

Grilled Miso marinated eel canapé topped with crab meat and fragrant French black truffle 

   

 

The truffle was oh-so-bloody good man. and the unagi was really nice and fresh. it was like an explosion of flavour in the mouth. yummmyyyyyyyyy. this was pretty much the highlight for the night. 

Golden Perch $12.00/pc

Lightly grilled Miso flavoured perch topped with tomato mousse, foie gras, and roe of perch

 

This was pretty good too but it was hard to beat the first one. haha.

Assortment of Sashimi 

 

There's salmon, tuna, toro and petit uni (sea urchin).

Wagyu Finger Steak $ 8.50/pc

Petit Wagyu steak wrapped with zucchini topped with foie gras and home made cheese 

 

Alaskan King Crab Tempura

 and this of course, was really really good... which resulted in this......

yes, i am a glutton foodie.

And this, i can't remember what it was.. haha

and finally, the main course which is the Wagyu steak $68

 

yum yum yum...

Kurogoma Panacotta $8.50

Black sesame with panacotta to make smooth pudding covered with nostalgic soy bean and green tea powder

By this point I was already freakin full but the panacotta was sooooo yum tt i just had to finish it! hehehe

So yes, Shoya definitely gets my vote. For me, the entire experience was 7.5/10

=)

so far away
