难道我在你心目中一点地位都没有吗？
告诉你我生病了，却一点慰问也没有？
Europe 2013 - First Stop, London
After intensive practice for about a month, finally, it's time for us to fly to Europe for our competition. This was my second competition and I felt lucky enough that this is also the second time I went to Europe.
Rayne and I departed 3 days before the main choir cause we found a cheaper alternative through the Malaysia Airlines. Our first stop is London, which is where my aunt stays. Malaysia Airline is pretty good, good service, good entertainment, nice food... But Rayne did not enjoy that much because I was forcing her to practice while we are on our way to London, hehe. It took us about 18 hours from Singapore to London Heathrow which I think it is pretty alright.
We were really excited while we are in London, nice weather, nice environment. Although this is my second time to London, but I am still very excited about the fact that we are in London. First day was nothing much. Had our dinner at my aunt's restaurant, chit chatted a bit and we called it a day. The next day, I met up a friend that we have not met for more than 3 years, Chin Yuan! I went out with him myself while Rayne met up with her friend. Chian Yuan brought me around the Picadilly Circus, Convent Garden, Oxford Circus, basically the shopping area. We shopped a bit and of course, we had lots of nice food and desserts!
I met up with Rayne again near the Hyde Park the next day for our free tour. The free tour was not bad, the tour guide introduced us to some of the attractions of London, such as the Hyde Park, Beckingham Palace, Westminster Abby and etc. After that, we met up with Rayne's friend, Hanna! She's such a fun and interesting lady. She also treated us a lunch at Wahaca, one of the Mexican restaurant is London! Not bad, that was my first time trying Mexican food.
We headed back to my aunt's house quite early that day, because we need to get ourselves prepared and head to our accommodation near the Gatwick Airport that we booked through airbnb.com. It place that we stayed was nice, nice furniture and kitchen and most importantly, the bed was super comfy!! Balbir, the owner was the house is nice too, he even sent us to the airport the next day at 5am!
That's all for our first stop, next stop, Krakow, Poland!
Pepperoni Pizzeria @ Greenwood Avenue
Many thanks to my friend who treated me a nice meal after she gotten her big fat bonus. She decided to bring me to this restaurant which is located at a ulu yet atas place.
This restaurant is nice and decorated with family theme. Furthermore, you can also draw on the papers on your table with the crayon that they prepared while you are waiting for your food, pretty nice right?
We have ordered a Al Nero di Seppia (squid rings, garlic and tomatoes in squid ink sauce), Al Vongole (fresh Venus clams in delicious white wine sauce), Prosciutto Crudo di Parma (Parma ham and rocket salad pizza), deep fried chicken wings and tiramisu.
I love their pasta. It's remarkable especially the sauce, seafoods are fresh too, especially the Venus clams. The pizza is also very nice and crispy. Chicken wings are good too, crispy skin and tender meat. But, I think they still need to improve on their tiramisu. The tiramisu is very normal to me.
Overall, it's really a nice place with great food. I had a great time there with my friend.
たも屋うどん ＠ Liang Court :)
Yes, at last I managed to get their free coupon! It is always running out fast! The free item this time is chikuwa.
This is my third time to Tamoya and I'm still very excited about their udon. I had Kama-tama this time, its udon mixing with soft boiled egg. I wanted to try shiitake mushrooms this time, but I couldn't resist when I walk by the tempura prawns. It's my all time favorite. In the end I had chikuwa, shiitake mushrooms and tempura prawn. Yumssss...
The Kama-tama is very nice especially mixing with the bukkake soup and spring unions. The udon is chewy and tasty as usual. After mixing with soft boiled egg, it makes the udon smoother...slurrrp..
But 1 thing that I'm very surprised is, there is no queue for the udon. For me, such a fantastic udon should have more people queue-ing up for it! Maybe not many people knows Tamoya yet? Maybe Tamoya should have more promotions like giving out more coupons, 1 for 1 udon and etc to boost up their name!
I will definitely go back again and hoping that Tamoya has more and more people going for their fantastic udon!

For a person who don't really like udon, Tamoya's udon really surprised me. The udon is chewy and not like any other udon that you eat at other places. The udon here taste different and more tasty! The soup is nice serving with seaweed and spring unions.
I've ordered a bowl of kake udon with tempura prawns while my friends ordered pork kake udon with some other tempura as well. We love it! Not only the udon taste good, their tempuras are delicious too, especially the tempura prawns. It is so crispy and fresh.
I will definitely go back again. Luckily my office is just beside Liang Court. :p
Itacho @ Ion Orchard
Many people said its a bit over rated, but who cares? I enjoyed myself the most when eating sushi here.
As usual, the queue was long after working hours. We have waited for about half an hour. The waitress guides us in politely. I have forgotten her name but I was very satisfied with her service just now. The table was a bit small for 5 of us but she tried every single way to make all of us sit there comfortably.
The foods served fast. The sashimi was fresh and today is the very first time I have wagyu sushi and it was yummy!!! Here are some of the pictures but not all yet because I was busy enjoying my sushi. :p
ちくわ亭 @ Muhammad Sultan Road
TGIF! Today is great day, not only because its a Friday, but also a China holiday. Means that we can be damn "eng" today. No deadlines for us!
Although I need to save money for my trip in June, but don care. I shall enjoy today first. Here are the pictures! :p
独自一人来到机场，感觉蛮不错的。宁静且舒适。喜欢这种没人到扰的情况下emo。
很多人说，幸福是要靠自己的双手去争取的。可是对我而言，这只说对了一半。除了靠自己的双手，也得看你有没有这样的资格。
曾几何时，我也相信自己能够幸福快乐；曾几何时，我也相信有童话故事。可是过了一年又一年，发现自己还是在原地踏步，没有前进过。
近来的心情越来越不好，越来越孤僻。只想静静的享受只有自己的空间。幻想着自己期盼的事，幻想着自己希望的一切。我到底能够幸福快乐吗？
NTU CAC Choir Cantemus 2013: Belonging
It has mark to an end of NTU choir annual concert with Iresh Blessing. It's a meaningful song which I don get to sing on the stage during the concert day due to my company's DND. What a missed! This year's concert was good, although its not a full house concert, although the songs weren't perfect. Its because I did see a strong bonding among the members due to the concert.
It reminds me of every one from choir 07/08 and 08/09. It was memorable. I miss singing with them. This year, whenever we are practicing Halu, the song draw back lots of sweet memories that I have with the choir.
Thank Mr. Yong for allowing me to join the NTU choir in year 2007, I know that I nearly failed the audition. Thank him again for letting me to join the main choir even after I have graduated from NTU. I know I'm not as good as others, but at least it gave me the opportunity to do what I like, do what I am passionate in and knowing many incredible people from different batches.
Competition will be held in June. It's time to practice like no body's business again, just like what we've did in year 2008. May God bless us again in getting category champion just like what he did previously.

The members have been practicing and rehearsing. Hopefully everything can goes well and we can put up a great performance tonight!
NTU CAC Choir Concert
Yes, it's this evening. The long waited choir concert is held this evening. It's time for us to show every one, what we've been learning, what we've been practicing and our standard. Although it will not be a full house concert tonight, but I believe that we will still do our very best to put up a good performance.
荣记海鲜火锅菜馆
It's a rainy and windy day. Luckily the rain stops before we came out for dinner.
My cousin brought us to this place near Bugis. According to him, it's nice and cheap.
We ordered 1 vege, 虾枣, sambal fish head, 烧焦米粉 and a pork knuckle. Foods are really nice and fresh, especially their pork knuckle and 烧焦米粉. It's special and yummy. Most importantly, it's cheap! All these only cost us $69. :)
