curry flavour..

a nice and filling dinner at Curry Flavour at Stamford House tonight.. haha.. instead of eating cheese and chocolate fondue at Swiss Culture again, me, aline, waipeng and huijie had a change of taste and chose to eat Curry Flavour instead..

don't be mistaken, this is not an indian restaurant (i already had enough of indian music) but a japanese restaurant.. ambience is good, with nice comfy chairs.. price is alright, average person will probably spend $15 to $20.. food is great, and filling too..

i ordered soft shell crab with curry, and this was what i got..

what the hell?? two real-size crabs in front of me manz.. best lar!! haha.. usually most people would cut the crabs into smaller pieces for easier consumption.. but this Curry Flavour serves the crabs just like that!! cool manz.. with all the crab eggs inside.. yum.. haha..



see? i can still play with the crabs' hands and legs.. or whatever you call them.. haha..

and when u pour the curry onto your plate, it looks appetizing.. and really taste marvellous..



tempting?? drooling?? haha..

yar.. besides the food, the ambience was really great.. a good chill-out place with a good bunch of friends.. these great pals of mine have been with me through my ups and downs.. one of the few closest friends whom we still meet up almost every month.. =) well i suppose they know me better, since we were together on a foreign (now no more) land for almost a month.. haha..

yup.. congrats to our little-tiger-princess-sarah-huijie.. she's going london for her foundation course on arts.. design if i'm not wrong.. i know it will be hard, financially and mentally, being away from family and friends in a faraway land.. but this is your dream, pursue it!! =) i know you can do it.. you have been through so many camps, surely you must have picked up some survival skills by now.. haha.. yar but anyway, do cherish this rare opportunity and strive hard to achieve the scholarship.. jia you and we are all behind you.. =)

RiverMaya rocks!

whee~~!! i'm super high manz!! RiverMaya rocks!! woohoo~~!! haha.. a philippino-day for me manz.. haha..



was looking forward to watching RiverMaya's performance.. i was told that they are one of the best few philippino bands.. was finding kakis to go with me.. so i managed to grab aline.. haha.. when we were there, there were quite a lot of people waiting there already.. you see, it was an outdoor performance at esplanade, so it's kinda first-come-first-serve basis.. we couldn't get a good standing place, but i could still at least get to see their little heads lar.. haha.. but all around me were philippinos.. haha.. i was kinda back to philippines for a few moments.. haha..



but when RiverMaya started performing.. they rocked the place manz!! they sang in english and in tagalog.. which got the crowd hyped up.. =) really enjoyed their performance manz.. haha..

their first performance was only about half-hour long.. not enough.. haha.. but aline had to go for her gym.. so i went suntec with her, and did my own shopping.. and ended up buying a dress for $15.. haha originally it was $49 you know.. haha..

RiverMaya's next performance was actually at 10pm.. but aline and waipeng were tired.. so we just sat down at CoffeeBeans for a drink, before leaving..

so on the way to the mrt, i was thinking, "why not i walk pass esplanade again, see if they are still performing".. the impulsive me walked to the open space with the big stage, to find myself being drowned in a sea of philippinos.. haha.. but i was late, and they finished their performance.. then i saw my cousin with his friend there.. haha.. what a coincidence.. the crowd was waiting for their autograph session, so my cousin went to buy two of their cds so that we could have a closer contact with them.. haha..

so... ...


a close-up shot with the band's vocalist/keyboardist Rico Blanco!! whee~!! =P

and of course, the autographed cds.. =)


too bad the cds belong to my cousin.. sheesh..

oh oh.. and i received a letter from my (or rather, our) adopted child!!! whee~~!! so happy.. haha.. and oh yar, thanks to aline for the cute nice test-tube with my name in it.. =) i like the colour.. =)

and i'm going to continue watching my philippino movie Don't Give Up On Us.. hehe.. finally with english subtitles.. yeah..

me and my philippino drama..

go ahead and say that i'm mad or crazy.. but i can't help it if i'm addicted to philippino dramas.. =P wahaha.. there are 2 dramas that i do catch them whenever i'm at home.. all thanks to TV2 and TV3.. haha.. they don't even bother dubbing them, so i can listen to Tagalog while i watch the dramas, though most probably i won't understand.. haha..

but hey, i managed to learn some new words from there k?? haha.. simple words of course, i can't catch what they are speaking and they tend to speak like a machine gun.. haha.. and of course my little Filipino language book comes in handy.. but there are still words that i can't find in the book lar.. i want a Tagalog-English dictionary!!

and so the crazy me went to do some searching online, and found the tv station's webbie and *woohoo~* i can watch the current shows and dramas and movies!! movies with english subtitles!! yeah!! haha.. i wanted to watch "Don't Give Up On Us" when i was still in Bago, but too bad the movie in the theatres has no english subtitles.. but now i can watch it!! yeah!!!

but my current hit is still the drama "Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas".. haha.. got handsome hunk leh.. haha.. but the handsome hunk is married to the pretty babe in the show too.. both reel-life and real-life.. *sobz*.. haha.. kidding..


this is the handsome hunk Diether and pretty babe Kristine.. gwapo and gwapa leh.. haha..

contracts..

haha.. even kids have to sign contracts.. and then you will wonder what is the content.. =P


that's the 'contract' my little cousin had to sign.. (translated for my international friends: i will do my homework seriously from tomorrow onwards.)

well, i suppose different parents have different methods of disciplining kids.. and my aunt and my parents belong to the same type.. haa..

meanwhile, i think my life is getting a bit haywired.. have no idea what am i doing.. tuition, copying music scores, but not studying.. need to knock some sense into myself.. arghh..

anyway, need you guys to help me do a simple survey.. click on this link.. thanks thanks.. =)
