School so far

*playing 不能说的秘密 by 周杰倫

Since School started this semester, I have been slacking, laying off tutorials and assignments. Now deadline's coming soon and yet I'm still slacking... It did not help that I have not been feeling well since yesterday evening...

What have I been doing you say? Well, watching lots of movies like Indiana Jones yes all 3 of them. That's in anticipation for Indiana Jones 4 coming next year. And also shows like Terminator 1 and 2 since there is a new TV series called Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles showing in the US soon. It's plot revolves after the end of Terminator 2 and from the way I see it, It kinda makes it such that Terminator 3 might not even happen. Also there are rumours that Terminator 4 may happen in 2009 as well as shows like Fantastic Four.

As you can see, Life seems a tad boring without mahjong and Texas being mentioned. But well
, cest la vie! If everything goes well, I should be able to finish my Undergrad studies and then go for job interviews soon. But I think to do that, I need to push myself to start doing my assignments first.

jh out!~

p.s : Rush Hour 3 is so so only. It's probably the worse of the Threequels this summer. The characters just seem to move to places to places and engaging in sleeky slapchops moves... 2.7 out of 5 hours
p.p.s : Disturbia is quite a normal show. Watch it only if you like Shia Lebeoulf. 2.8 out of 5 House Arrest
p.p.p.s : The Simpsons is so damn funny, If you want to see something dumb watch it! 3.8 out of 5 Donuts...
p.p.p.p.s : Perfect Stranger may be a bit boring at times but the twist in the end may well be worth catching for twist feisty people.
p.p.p.p.p.s : Speaking of twists, Jay Chou's directorial debut in which he acts, directs, sings as well as play the piano is one excellent movie. It is funny in someways thanks to Anthony Wong and of course romantic if you are a romance person. The twist was predictable well at least to me. I actually guessed it right. Still it's a definitely must watch for jay's fans as well as couples who enjoys love stories. 4.1 out of 5 Secrets.

Sushi Yoshida

playing Song 4 Mutya by Groove Armada

So I haven't blogged for a while as I'm experimenting the writer's block. Or you could also say that there wasn't anything exciting to blog about besides my last semester in school.

So well, the only happening thing that happened was the visit to Sushi Yoshida for Ziting's birthday. It was a wonderful experience minus the place we went after Sushi Yoshida...

Sushi Yoshida was recommended on 8 Days food article on the Tuna Otoro (best part of the fish belly) and we just had to try it when we were there!

Here are some pictures...

Otoro

The fats are surely evenly distributed...

A $90 plate definitely deserves more coverage

Yes 5 pieces of Otoro for $90

1 piece? $18 loh....

Looks like a piece of fresh pork! REALLY fresh!

The piece of otoro just melts the moment it touches your tongue.

I was in heaven when it melted in mine mouth...

Sushi Moriwase.. $65 wor... comes with a Chu-Toro( read meat near the belly)

Cha Soba which requires much needed information for diners to know how to start eating.

Sake Omu rice ball. It was the only carbo intake for my dinner. Taste so so at $8

Thunder Tea Rice which Gen says is an insult to the true japanese name which I forgot...

Tempuras!

Some kind of fried fish. Meat taste good... so does the fish bone... I'm serious.

So after Sushi Yoshida, we headed to i21 shop at cineleisure to shop about... Still feeling sort of empty in the stomach, we headed to the Maestro Bistro cafe on the 2nd level of cineleisure. It was a mistake and our heavenly exprience start turning hellish from the moment we were seated... Here are the flaws:
The lighting above our cushion area was flickering...
The staff took a while to notice us.
It's supposed to be a 24hours cafe but at 9.30pm-Many items on the menu such as the Tofu Burger and meatballs were finished.
The drinks are tasteless (luckily I didn't order any) Ziting's cappuccino is totally tasteless yet it really looks very coffee likish... Weiliang's lemon tea taste like Ice Water Lemon that has the colour of lemon tea. Only the blended fruit drinks passed although not excellent..
After mentioning to the staff about ziting and weiliang's drinks, weiliang's ice lemon tea came back tasting sweeter thus meaning they really had forgotten to add the syrup... ; Ziting's drink taste no difference from when it first left.
Our much awaited "main course" came 2 chicken cutlets (read: wenyao and mine) and fish & chips for weiliang.
The fries were ok. So were the fish. And of course the cutlet.... at the beginning... After a few bites and chatting with the guys... I started feeling as if the chicken is getting chewier. Finally at one point I felt that the cutlet was really taking too long to cut with my knife. I look at the piece of meat and saw that it was red!!!!!!! yes RED! Can you imagine it? Medium rare chicken cutlet? Since when they started serving this new delicacy? Wenyao also found his cutlet not well cook but at least it does not even look red...
Both of us ask for the staff and informed them about the situation. They took away our food and and then came back with the same plate... From what I know as my customer rights, I clearly remember that they should change a new plate for me unless i tell them otherwise. The person did not even ask us... The same plate came back to us means that the staff brought our food and deep fry it again!!! Wenyao was quite pissed and inform the staff again, we then saw the staff gather around the counter area and discuss, finally, the person-in-charge came to us and finally ask us what we needed, to be safe, we decided to ask for the item to be strike off the bill as you never know what they will do to our food given the services rendered so far and numerous request which we called for... After paying the bill we left. It was truly a hellish experience... Although being serve medium rare cutlet was quite funny.

About

: Name: Peter; Location: Singapore

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
