Meeting New People (part 4)

Current Songs: Jordin Sparks - One Step at a Time // Destiny's Child - Survivor

Seriously, this MNP thing is addictive.


Spring Rolls on Queen street.
I met up with Rasilla last week for lunch and shopping =D I've been following her blog for quite sometime now and we both love Annabelle Cosmetics =D


Rasilla! Well... her phone at least.
Meet Rasilla (not her real name btw) everyone =) She knows the invisible spell.

Mamma Mia.
I ordered the Mamma Mia - Strawberry and Guava Smoothie - it was really sweet, almost too sweet. So while looking through the drink menu, I told Rasilla I wanted alcohol, but then I decided not to since it was only 5pm. I actually made the right decision because I had a night class that day and received a surprise in-class group assignment and presentation o_O O-M-G. I would've been so out of it if I did have a drink lol!


Pad Thai.
Rasilla ordered House Chicken Pad Thai. Looks yummy!

So I ordered the popular Thai Royal Castle . Seriously, this dish was a joke. First of all, it didn't even look like this picture from the menu!


Thai Royal Castle
This is what it actually looked like. As you can see, the first image has the rice CONTAINED in half a pineapple on a clean, white dish. Nothing is overflowing and very pleasant looking right? But what they gave me was a plate of overflowing food on a quarter of a pineapple with a random unexpected sheet of egg. Though they "tried" to make it look asthetically pleasing with the extra garnish, I still wanted something that looked exactly like the picture! I wonder what would happen if I actually made a complaint to the resturaunt. I should've been THAT bitchy customer hahaaa. Anyway, the story didn't end there. As I was eating, I realized that the more I ate, the more food I had left on my plate. How was it even possible you ask? Like I mentioned earlier, the pineapple was quarter sized so they piled the rice on top and tried to cover it with the egg. As I started working through the egg and rice, the rice started spreading to the side. Yes it might've looked like I was getting more bang for my buck but it also made me look like I didn't enjoy the food, which I did enjoy actually. I especially loved the pineapple pieces! They could work on the gigantic chicken pieces and the bland shrimp though. Rasilla and I had a good laugh out of it so it was all good.


Blushberry - Frozen Yogurt.
We went for frozen yogurt as desert afterwards which was just around the corner from Spring Rolls. My first experience with frozen yogurt! They had the tables out that day so we sat outside. It was a really nice day (with the exception that it was kinda windy).


Medium with Blackberry, and one raspberry
Rasilla's frozen yogurt. We both wanted to try the green tea flavour but they didn't have any... they pretty much didn't have anything WE wanted omg. What luck. I was very jealous of her large blackberries hahaaa they were overflowing!!! I think she originally wanted raspberries but like I said they didn't have any of the ingredients we wanted so she opted for the blackberries. And somehow she sweet talked the guy into giving her the extra raspberry =p jkjk, it was the last one left.


Small with blueberry and strawberry.
I love my berries too ^_^ Well I wanted mango and blueberry initially but they didn't have mango ARGGGGGG. Seriously! The blueberries ended up being a little sour but still yummy over all. Too bad this place is so close to my school that I may end up going there more often than I should haha.

So after we finished eating, I pulled out my laptop and we took pictures with photo booth =D The effects never get old LOL! But we'll keep the silliness private for now =p

Meeting New People (part 3)

A month ago (yes a super delayed post), I met up and had dinner with fellow blogger Kevin =D Kevin took me to Guu Izakaya!!! *squeals* And it was awesome! This is only a teaser to Kevin's post (because all photos were taken by him)!

Knowing Kevin's awesome photography skills, my lazy ass decided not to take photos with my camera - bad move - because I don't have any of my own pictures =( But it's okay because Kevin's pictures are mouthwateringly ah-mazing! Speaking of which, he should be blogging about it soon too! What's with the wait-up huh? =D

Alright, so if you know me, I hate being late so I make sure I always leave extra early. Being fashionably late has never been in my book (unless there's a legit reason like road block). But I must tell this story because it was just too funny. I was crossing the street walking toward Guu and I noticed this guy 50meters away looking at me X_X I think we exchanged stares but I didn't think too much it. Only to later find out from Kevin's tweet it was him X_X What a fail. *smacks Kevin for hiding*

Guu.
Top left: wait time wasn't too bad, I think we waited for 20 minutes? Personally I enjoyed the patio because it was a really nice day.

Top right: love how Guu looks like on the outside! I'm no architect but it looks very detailed up close. You can even see the inside from those protruding wooden squares!

Bottom left: the green one is called Bamboo (Melon Liqueur + White Wine + Lychee Juice + Soda) - a Guu original cocktail. Who doesn't want a leaf in their drink? Kevin got the Berry Sakegria (Sake, Strawberry, Blackberry, Apple, Orange, Pure Lemon Lime) - think that's what the menu says.

Bottom right: separate menu of things not listed on the main menu?

Food!
Top left: I don't know what this is called :s It's scallop dish but I can't find it on the main menu. It was really good though! Way better than my dad's cooking hahaa.

Top right: "YAKIUDON" (Pan fried udon noodle with beef and vegetables.)

Bottom left: "KINOKO CHEESE BIBIMBAP" (Rice, garlic sauteed mushrooms and cheese with seaweed sauce) If I had to name a favourite, this was probably it. Sorry we don't have a picture of it before they mixed it all up.

Bottom right: "KABOCHA KOROKKE" (Deep fried kabocha pumpkin croquette with a boiled egg inside). This was a strange dish, never seen anything like it before. Taste wise it was quite unique but nonetheless good.

And that is all. I will link Kevin's post once his is up. Feel free to click on the pictures for a larger view (change image size on Flickr)

p.s note to self: must go agin one day, especially with future bf.

I've Been Tagged (part 1)

So Joyce tagged me a while ago for this tag (thanks for tagging me hun!). Finally got around to doing it now. I tried to answer the questions as honestly as I could so hopefully by the end of this you'll have a better depiction of who I really am O_O *evil laugh* muahhaah.


Me.
Because I refuse to have a picture-less post, feel free to interpret this picture anyway you want.

1. Which decade/age would you want to live in the most? (Ex. 80s, middle ages, Victorian era)
Zee fu-cha! (the future haha) I want to know where technology is going, what you and I will be like many years from now and whether or not Earth will eventually be destroyed by humans.

2. What makes you smile?
To be able to make others happy. Happiness is contagious did you know that?

3. What is your pet peeve?
But I have so many! At the top of my list is probably cigarette smell. arghh.

4. Live underwater or live in space?
Space, because this girl can't swim haha. Plus, we can jump so much higher and feel so much lighter when we are in outer space =D Living underwater means I'll have to share the water with fish and other creatures while in outer space it may just be aliens.

5. Describe someone you admire.
No one in particular. Take the time from admiring someone and invest it on myself to become a better person would be more ideal hm?

6. What is the word/expression you say the most and has it ever gotten on someone's nerves
I know I say "(yo) what the hell, man" sometimes lol. It probably have gotten on some people's nerves hahaa.

I'd sleep all day because I refuse to be a celebrity any day.
