i'm a girl who have stepped into the unknown called work and decided that schooling is better. i also have a propensity to go crazy over fried chicken wings and simply love to squeeze and over-feed my obese hamsters. my blog is a mode for expressing my love for food, movies, travel and shopping!

lots of good stuff

enjoying whatever temporary reprieve i can get from teaching, until the end-of-year exams when the whole lot of marking comes in and drowns me. so this is what i did during the weekend.

1. watched johnny english reborn @ gvmax

it was just another movie about a bumbling fool, whose ineffectual competency eventually ends up in him solving the big case.


2. dinner @ shabuya


we had dinner at this place which my mum had been talking about. it's actually a restaurant split into two, one side is a grill and the other, steamboat. we chose the steamboat section.



we had two types of soup as well. shoyu for the vegetables and chicken broth for the meat, not that the waiters actually explained.







we had the shabu-shabu set for four, which was good even for six. it took forever for the five of us to finish all the meat.



salad had almost non-existent dressing.


parents enjoyed the sashimi.



two plates of each type of meat.


fish paste wasn't memorable.





this was what i found really delicious. the ice-cream mochi was extremely refreshing after consuming so much meat without any water to wash the taste off.




oh ya, before i end off about the restaurant, the restaurant does not serve water, iced or hot. what a downer.


you see that big bag? i bought lots and lots of things from diaso! and here are my spoils.


3. dessert @ igloo

matthew treated us dessert at igloo. i think this place will not survive for long. not only have they lessened their variety of toppings, now they do not even let you take your own toppings, which was the draw of igloo in the first place. this totally goes against their promotional effort of 'buy 2 get 1 free'.






4. the great disappearing act

when we got home, we found the hamster cage opened! brown lump escaped! we tried finding her, turning things upside down, opening cupboard doors, but we just couldn't find her! then dad got lucky again and found her in the kitchen.



after her great disappearing act, we placed her back into her cage and she started stuffing her cheeks full of food, hoping to be able to make a second attempt. epic fail. but so cute!



i uploaded the video of her with big cheeks, but i'm not sure if it's successful since i've never managed to upload one. enjoy!
