These two days have been nothing but a virtual eatfest.On Sunday night, grandfather decided to treat everyone to dinner to welcome back his brother from Brisbane, Australia. We went to his favourite restaurant in town - Restoran Pik Wah. One of my parents said it was going to be quite formal so I put on something smart. Who knew that I got conned so easily...heh... They even had a karaoke stage! For all your singing needs Anyway,this is my Uncle Ian and Aunt Ai Ling:  And this is my cousin Nicholas and I:   L:R- Aunt Fui Ning, Uncle Ian and Aunt Ai Ling  Yi poh and grandmother  Grandfather's elder brother and grandfather The first dish was, like all quintessential chinese dinners, a four seasons dish with prawns, vegetables, crab legs and some other stuff I can't really remember hehe.  Second was...You guessed it. Shark's fin soup.  Next was a steamed fish with soy sauce. It was a river fish and dad told mom and I that those fish breeders are rumoured to have fed river fishes with animal body parts or something, so we didn't eat much. (We didn't tell anyone else either hehe)   The aftermath The roasted pork skin came shortly thereafter and boy was everyone ecstastic! How could anyone be seeing an oily slab or roasted skin and not feel a tingle of enthusiasm?  I swear when the waiters came in with this I couldn't tell what it was supposed to be. An oversized bun perhaps?   Apparently not Finally dessert was here! I thought we would have some fancy pancy dish with ridiculously vibrant decorations and all...   wow...'vibrant' indeed All in all, dinner was great! Lots of good food and good company. Right, now for the good stuff. We went to Cilantros for dinner today. It's a mediterranean restaurant that serves sinfully delicious (and expensive) food. Here;s a card:  Since we were early, we decided to hang out at the lounge downstairs. The ambience was soothing but dark, only illuminated by several lamps placed on top of the sides of the area.    mum and dad  me When uncle Ian and gang arrived we ordered and whilst we were waiting we chatted. A LOT. So anyway, the food came and voila!  seafood angelhair pasta  all manner of meats, seafood and unhealthy treats  I don't exactly know what this is...I think it's some sort of fish...  Lamb steak, medium rare  Lamb ribs, yum! The night went by really quickly but in the end I just spent my time eavesdropping on the adults' conversation about golf, politics etc. It was a good meal (and expensive too!). |

Another 2 days and i'm going out of the country for the next 2 weeks. I was really excited to go, really I was. Yeah, WAS. All that came crashing down when my lecturers slaughtered us one by one. Chemistry: we have to study all the chapters we have learnt so far and sit for an exam the week we come back from our 'holiday'. On top of that 10 questions are to be uploaded on the bb6 website and we have to complete them. Mathematics: More homework, homework and...whaddya know? homework. Physics: Again, we have to revise everything we did and finish up more questions during the holidays. Economics: Surprise surprise! More studying... Oh yeah, I have a crapload of things to do for the SAT examination. Yeah, it is in a month's time. I can hardly articulate my deepest feelings of 'joy'. I see my cat sleeping ever so peacefully on my bed with nothing to worry about. No exams, no expectations, no obligations. In a way I envy it. I envy it a lot. Maybe it has other matters to be concerned about. Maybe it worries about that cream colored siamese tabby that gives birth to litters of kittens like clockwork. Or that grey striped tomcat that terrorizes him from time to time. Or whether its masters would one day leave him alone and favour the puppy next door instead. Yeah, maybe it does worry a lot. |

Jin loves brownies, cookies and cake. Jin has never been anywhere further than Australia. Jin could never stop being a sadistic, sarcastic meanie. Jin is also the opposite of everything said one line up when the need arises. Jin would rather have a desktop rather than a laptop. Jin has an obsessive, compulsive need to ramble, blabber and regurgitate all manner of nonsense. Jin hates being ignored by the people he loves. Jin hates being alone most of the time. Jin hates reflecting about his actions. It's taxing. Jin has a habit of thinking too much. Jin often doesn't see the glass as half-empty or half-full.He just sees the glass. To some, Jin is weird; to others, Jin is even weirder. Jin wants nothing more than to be happy. Rich would be a big plus though. Jin is pretty tired of referring himself in the third person's perspective. |

Being apart from my sayang. Seeing animals get tortured. Seeing people get hurt. Losing what's important to me. Sluggish internet connections. Bittergourds and zombies. |
