pictures from Singapore

a really 'Singaporean' photo, I must say.

JANICE ;) dinner at Clementi

My favourite pic from Jurong Bird Park

We were tired after walking around in CHinatown...SO went for desserts <3

The fruit jelly cocktail I had was really refreshing!

our same old catch-up at Ding Tai Fung :)

CELLO was as active as usual

Close encounter with a macaque in SENTOSA :)

old memories. I remember swimming/walking up this place during our j1 orientation...

glad it was still there :)

thats it for my Singapore trip.

I've started my classes in Waseda Seminar, a special cram school in Takadanobaba area, to take the MFA qualification examination in 2010. Constitutional Law is killing me...AHHHHH.

I have to revise now and then :(

bday @ Sunday, March 22, 2009

it was karpie's 21st birthday earlier this month...

these were what I made for his mini birthday party at my place.

it was supposed to be a sponge cake... but it turned out to be a really thick pancake after baking

:( sigh, i was quite upset but it tasted okay so nevermind.

Fried chicken and potato fries. My favourite recipe :)

Cream stew, salad...etc..... Everything made from scratch.

Now I like cooking even more!

back from Singapore! The flight journey was pretty good, i was on the aisle and the seat next to mine was empty, so I got to stretch my legs on two seats while watching movie, eating and sleeping. And it was quite shiok :p

This time round, I enjoyed Singapore in a tourist's point of view since I was bringing my Japanese friends along with me. Seriously, Singapore has changed, I was especially amused at Sentosa, Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park..
Our schedule were as follows:
1st day: Botanical Garden, City Hall area( Raffles Hotel, Merlion Park), Singapore river cruise, Arab Street, Bugis Street, Dinner in town
2nd day: Jurong Bird Park, Chinatown, Little India, Night Safari
3rd day: Sentosa, dinner at Vivo City(seafood!!!!)
4th day: Shopping in Orchard Area

I guess the things we missed were only the Singapore Flyer(which I refuse to ride on), and the Singapore Zoo(but we went to Night Safari). Although those were the places I've once visited when I was a child, I still enjoyed it. Probably because of the changes made to the attraction, and of course, the company :) Travelling around with Yuri sempai and Natsuki sempai was soooo fun!
Telling them about Singapore and introducing them to local food.

I didn't fail to meet up with my local friends too!!!
Janice, we'll have our satays next time round.
YiChun, all the best for your exams, lets talk on Skype.
Jeremy, it was great meeting up with you, my sempais and I had a great time :)

Photos coming your way..I got to study for an exam first :s

as some people may know, I lived in a student dorm during my freshmen year, which is 2007.

I had the chance to make several friends there, all from the same university but different faculties. Even after I left the dorm, I still keep in touch with a couple of them...and they are AYA and MIKU
We meet up once a month for a dinner party in Kamishakuji, cos all of us live around the same area, approximately 10 min walk from each other's house.

Lets see, in the past we had....
hot pot party @ my place
okonomiyaki/takoyaki party @ Aya's place
pizza party @ Miku's place
So thats one rotation done, and last monday we had Gyoza party @ my place again

gyoza making is fun...and it serves as a bonding session xp
We wrapped weird stuffs like Kimchi and chocolate.

Since it was doll's day, we bought a cake for ourselves :)

I simply LOVE this decoration.

Next up, its curry party @ aya's place :)
