*Edited* The Sushi Bar



Finally tried out the much raved Sushi Bar at fareast plaza.
(Not to be confused with The Standing Sushi Bar and Koh Grill & Sushi bar) --> Will try soon!!!




Hotate mentaiyaki ($13)


Hotate salmon aburi ($18)


Chawanmushi ($2.80)


All these taste so so so good! Just mentioning them got me fantasizing about them again.
Recently I'm so obsessed with mentaiko and aburi. Lol.

Something to note: It's very crowded so early reservations are recommended. The place is very small, humbly-renovated and most chairs dont even have backings(ahhh...my poor back). The service was good when it's not crowded but simply terrible when it's running full house. I dont mean the girls are rude or anything but they are simply too blur! SQ arrived later than me but she ordered the SAME 3 dishes as me. We repeated her orders thrice to different waitresses but only 2 out of her 3 dishes came(the appetizers chawanmushi and mentaiyaki). Sigh.....Thank god SQ wasnt too hungry. Eventually we left without waiting any longer (more than an hr)
Not recommended when you're very hungry. Prices are considered slightly on the high side considering it's environment.

Ya, like why? 也许,我们真的不适合。



Do you love your GF enough to let her do this?

(P/S After dearie saw my entry, he highlighted me on 1 error: "It should be, I love you far too much to let you do this for me. You know, it's like, I love you too much to hurt your feelings instead of I love you too much to NOT hurt your feelings. No need that word "NOT"." I was like, "Eh ya hor". But thankfully he said, "But I get your meaning lah, that's why I said that's what I thought too." Lol. Kekeke!)


From the way he answered and the way I know him, he meant it truly. =)
He's just far too blunt to say things which he dont mean it. You know, saggi leh~
I simply love our style of communication; we're just so frank, so open with each other. No hard feelings bottled up, anything we just put it on the table(and serve). Lol. =P
Everyday, I feel so blessed to have him in my life. =)
Have you told your loved ones that you love them today? =)



Recently a friend just told me the girl she likes just broke up with her boyfriend. 
And I was saying, 

"Ai seh! Your chance come liao. Faster go woo!!" 

My friend: "Nahzz....I find it hard to communicate with her. Little things can get so angry and throw tantrum. Joking only mah. Why so sensitive? If as friends, communication already so difficult, how to become couple?"

Me: "But you like her alot right??"

My friend: "Like is one thing....everytime quarrel very sian one...I really buay tahan liao...you cant expect after we got together liao, then I everytime talk very carefully....or dont talk at all.....like this together for what? "

Me: "Ya true............."

My friend: "Everytime I got to stoop so low to apologise when I dont even feel I'm in the wrong....again and again, again and again. I'm really, really tired.........."


I remembered a friend told me this before, when I unknowingly made a friend angry over some insensitive remark;

"From now on, you can only talk less or dont talk at all, lest you unknowingly say wrong things and made her angry again....but like this, you also very miserable because always got to suppress your feelings...cannot express freely...like this also difficult la..."

Ya lo.......then might as well I cut down on meeting her......and even if I meet her whether in groups etc, I cant talk to her or mention anything in regards to her....And I thought....."Huh...if like this, might as well I dont meet, or dont join the gathering at all. [=.=]'''' And...if this continues....as much as I want to keep her as a friend, I think it's also difficult.....Sigh......

I can also say....我们不适合(做朋友)。Machaim BGR like that...haha...
But when you think about it, it's very similar and it's true.
I've never think that when a guy and girl cannot be together as a couple, it means neither party is at fault or not good enough etc. Sometimes it's just that they're not suited...personality/background etc etc. Same thing with friends. My friends either love me or hate me, I realized! Too bad she "hates" me...for now.... As much as I love her, and I also think she wanna (try to) accept me(else she wouldnt endure me for so long...she said the "grievances" were accumulative. =( ......

But I guess................SIGH.............it's really tough......

Actually I also believe there are some 小人(mean people) around who always like to 煽风点火(sow discord).......Although I'm just so disappointed at the turnout....I can only tell myself that it's probably my downfall that I fail to realize, to sense her unhappiness with me for all my insensitive remarks and nonsense all this while. Stupid.....

Because both of us has lost a friend who truly care for one another; (I care for her and I believe she also care for me......), now I truly wish she has friends who truly care for her like I do. Because I know I wont be around to keep a lookout for her anymore...if she got drunk or tipsy or care for her anymore.

Frankly speaking, 小人 are all around, sometimes it's difficult to differentiate. I think many people have eyes to see I truly care for her, but if that 小人 can 加盐加醋 in a very natural way to convince her further I'm deliberately "aiming" her, to encourage her to lose me as a friend, frankly speaking...that friend also cant be very kind...

It's like....if you see your friend quarrel with her spouse over some insensitive remarks or in short, a very small issue but YOU KNOW that actually they love each other and care for each other, wouldnt you help by saying, 

"Aiya....maybe he dont mean it one. I'm sure he dont mean it in the negative way....why should he? You 2 had been through so much together...10+ years together...dont because of this small thing then ruin the relationship. You forgot how he was there for you when you need him?"

OR, would you say,
"Oh manz, he's damn insensitive and rude and offensive lor. I feel he's always targeting you and purposely want to make you paiseh one. Dont forgive him. Aiya, this kinda husband, dont want also nevermind. Find another one. Bla bla bla"

Of course you will say things like the former(1st one) right and not the ones in red right??!!! 正所谓,劝合不劝离。Moreover, it's reallllllyyyy not a big issue. Of course unless stuff like...IF I seduce my friend's hubby la, or sow discord between her and friends la, or bad mouth her reputation behind her la or used her whenever I need her but ignore her when I dont need her, THEN OF COURSE I deserve everything. BUT I DID NOT!

A friend who encourages you to do a wrong thing even though it sounds soothing to your ears AT THAT MOMENT(yes you got no fault at all, it's all your hubby's fault, he's in the wrong, go get a divorce) MAY NOT have your best interests at heart. 

Sometimes, a friend who says the un-soothing words may just be the one who stops you from doing the wrong thing or decision;

"You sure your hubby meant it in the negative way? Or is it because you're too sensitive? Maybe he's just joking and didnt know you'll get offended. Anyway, aiya...it's also not a very big thing mah.....I'm sure he treasure the relationship and not purposely make you angry one."

I really felt soOoooOoo.............[?????????] sometimes.

Her exact words to me in message, "I think you always like to target me, also got people also think this way. Why you like to shoot me, you not happy with me or what. Why you always like to drag me in and shoot me?"

YA!! I was also thinking, YA WHYYYYYY??? WHY I WANT TO SHOOT YOU??? *Faints*

Kill people also need to have motive right?? What motive I have??

I introduced her to this group of friends, from this group of friends, she also know more friends. Everytime we got gathering, I ask her along. Through time, she know my friends better, they also add her to group chats and ask her along too. And I'm totally okay with it. NEVER once, that I join but didnt ask her. I ask her to join EVERY SINGLE TIME. But after that we realized she cant come out on weekdays so we stopped asking her on weekdays; but weekends we continue to jio her. Even when I'm meeting 1 or 2 guy or girl friends(friends she know) instead of 1 big group, I also jio her. I'm that close with her, I simply love to bring her along with me whoever I meet(so long so she's comfortable). I introduce her to my circle of friends. She ask me for the numbers of my girlfriends or guyfriends, I also give her. She asks them out without asking me along, I'm also fine. Sometimes we do meet up alone too. We know each other for more than 10years, she meant so much to me.

Now she say I like to shoot her, and target her? I was like why???

Do we like the same guy and thus fighting for attention? Hell no. We're both happily married and whole world knows it thanks to FB. Are we in the same trade and we fight for some promotion etc? No, we're not in the same trade and both very loved by our generous hubby so we dont have money issue. Is she closer to this group of friends than me? Some yes some no. Friends whom I know for a much longer time than her naturally will still be closer with me, that's just the usual simple logic. But let's just say, we got our own closer friends, like A friend/B friend/C friend are closer to her while all the others are closer to me. I dont see any issue here unless she feel it is(which I also dont think she feel so)

You may wonder; Is she prettier than me?

OF COURSE a 100% YES!!!

But the thing is, eh please lor, TONS of people are prettier than me. 

Gra is prettier than me.
Suan is prettier than me.
Huey is prettier than me.
Lin is prettier than me.
Jes is prettier than me.
Shand is prettier than me.
Ser is prettier than me.
Lina is prettier than me.
Angi is prettier than me.
Von is prettier than me.
Phy is prettier than me.
Chris is prettier than me
Jov is prettier than me.
Ama is prettier than me.
PS is prettier than me.
Cel is prettier than me.
Kat is prettier than me.
Rain is prettier than me.

(For awhile, I almost want to put their pics down here, but I thought not very nice. Lol...machiam haolian I got pretty friends like that. =P)

Many many more, sorry due to time constraint, cannot put all the names down. PLEASE dont misunderstand I feel I'm prettier than you just because I didnt put your name!!! I dont mean that!!! Now I'm so f*cking paranoid that everything I blog or say or message must explain veryyyyyy clearly or put a disclaimer. *tired*

SOOOOOOO many girlfriends prettier than me!


So every pretty girl I go and target and shoot? 
Then I very busy lor. 
Then I dont have girlfriends liao lor. 

But tell you, all these PRETTY girlfriends are my GOOD and BEST friends! If you're in my FB then you'll know most of my girlfriends are so pretty and I'm equally close to them, thanks so much that they dont mind a simple plain Jane like me. *feeling blessed again*

Really...........Why would I want to target you and shoot you???

You're one of my longest friend and one of the very best whom I hold dear. I remember very clearly who stood by me when I'm at my lowest and you're one of them. Why would I purposely hurt someone who care for me? I'm not dumb! Good friends are just so hard to come by. Most of them only come to you after they broke up or when they need you but simply MIA when they're happy with their lives again. I'm also used to it. It's hard to get a real friend these days and I always treasure them very much. There's almost no reason on earth that I will ever give you up as a friend, unless you choose to give me up first or unless I've tried anything to keep the friendship but it just doesnt work.


I suppose she's tired....

But actually I am too...


Have a great week guys............

Quote of the Day

Honey Citron Drink(tea) from Korea




Recently I've been taking this rather frequently. It's texture is like jam with some orange peel. I always mix 1 tablespoon with 3/4 cup of hot water and the rest with cold water. It tastes something like a combi of honey and yuzu. Sweet and a little sour. Refreshing. You can alter the amount according to how sweet/sour you prefer. Oh usually after I finish the first cup, I will add water to it for 2nd round because it(the orange peel etc) still have some flavours. :) Usually I avoid sour drinks at all costs(stomach will pain too), but somehow, this drink(just alittle sour) is perfectly okie for me.

This is good for hangovers. LOL.

And the reason I love it so much is because it soothes my stomach from minor abdominal pains/cramps as well! As I have ULTRA sensitive stomach and irritable bowel, most of time after meals, I will have some adominal pains or diarrhoea, especially after some not super fresh or super clean food. Even my doc advised me before to eat less vegetable rice(菜饭) or chicken rice because usually the food were lying there for many hours already. Instead he ask me to eat those fish soup etc, food which are only cooked prior to ordering. Yes....these are woes of a super sensitive stomach.... If you suspect the freshness of some food....give to me to try first....after 30minutes I'll be able to tell you whether they are fresh. [=.=]'''''''''''''

Usually I will try to endure the pains if its not too serious by having hot water/tea or dearie will rub ointment (风油) on my tummy. The former usually dont have much effect. The latter can have some help. :P I'll take pills if it's really painful. But I will say this honey citron drink works wonder! This is definitely something which I will bring to travel and something which will always be in my fridge.

I bought it at S$15 for 2 big tubs from Beaute Spring; which I thought is pretty expensive. But it's from Korea and has a rather exquisite flavour which I cant find elsewhere. :)

Close-minded people are usually negative


If you are dealing with closed minded people, it may help you to understand - They do not hear. They will not listen. You cannot change them. They will not follow your logic. They believe what they want to believe.
75Unlike ·  · 



Saw this on my friend's FB and I agree with both hands! 

They do not hear. 
They will not listen. 
They will not change. 
They will not follow your logic. 
They believe what they want to believe.

And I may add; Close-minded people are (usually)always NEGATIVE

They take alot of things personally. 
They take in everything from a NEGATIVE point of view, even though you dont mean anything negative.
They will NEVER think they're at fault ; the fault always lies on others
They never reflect on themselves
They believe if you do not agree with them, then you're against them



If you have such friends, then it's best to stay away from them if your mindset is not strong or your personality get swayed easily.
Because the more you mix with them, the more close-minded and negative you will become.
Eventually, you'll become just like them without noticing it.

I've nothing against them. Nothing's wrong with being close-minded or slightly more pessimistic because everyone's different and everyone's unique. For example, some people are less generous(you may call it stingy) while some people are more generous. Some people might be more reserved while some are friendly. I merely feel different environments make us the way we are(since young). And it's your mindset and the people you meet in later stages of your life which/who may change you. So I have nothing against (almost) any different types of personalities. I often try to see the goodness in different individuals. For example, I have few boastful friends(which some people buay tahan them, lol) but actually, they're pretty generous. =) Another example, I also have very blunt friends who says anything which comes to mind but I'm so grateful they're not hypocritical like some friends I have. They're so truthful. =)


So you see, nobody's perfect. Neither me.

HOWEVER, I simply feel it's very tiring to keep conversations with such close-minded and negative friends, without coming across as.....insensitive and blunt...offensive and god knows how many more negative traits they think of me, just because simply, anything you say, they will think in the negative direction. They feel I've have something against them, personally, OR I'm deliberately "shooting" them. How weird. Why would I?? 

Sometimes I repeat the same things I said, which somehow made a friend unhappy, TO dearie, "So if I say this to you, will you be angry?". I repeated in the same tone and even gave "background info" of the friend(so that dearie will understand the context which I said previously). Sometimes it might be a phone message.

Dearie said, "Huh, what's there to angry about? You mean, you said/text this and your friend got angry?"

Me: "Ya lo"

Of course.......I know I know....different people is different.......but really...I didnt expect it.

Well, I am frank, yeah, but I'll NEVER say anything IF I know VERY WELL that will make you unhappy or upset. Why would I purposely make you unhappy if you are my friend? It's never my motto to.....like.....put you down or get revenge that sorta thing. I'm a person who likes peace.

Sometimes I told dearie about some scenarios regarding a friend, 

Dearie: Oh....you have the right to XXXX what........if she do all this to purposely dont let you XXXX(without you knowing) then you just purposely go XXXX la. Piss her off. Hahahaha!!

Me: Duhz...............why would I want to piss her off? If she not happy I XXXX then I will act as if I dont know everything......and dont XXXX lor..............

Simple as that. I will just avoid....making people unhappy, sometimes at my own expanse. Most of the time, it's not as if I dont know what's happening. I merely act as if I dont know, just so people are happy. I also dont need people to know or appreciate.......I believe sometimes...caring for a person.....you dont really need to let him/her know all the time. 他/她 开心就好了。

Although maybe sometimes I still do(make people unhappy)....they're really unintentional. 

But back to the topic......why I feel it's TIRING to keep conversations or very close friendships with such friends is because I'm SUCH a frank person; I say things on my mind and sometimes I say it out faster than I can correct it.

And I dont say things which I dont mean it. Most of the times I gave compliments, even to strangers(scares them almost all the time) when I'm in a super good mood or has an inquisitive question. For example, "Hey(stranger), your perm very nice! Where you perm it huh?" Maybe because I'm in sales so I'm not afraid of approaching strangers.

And of course I'm NOT a klutz to say negative stuff bluntly....like, "Hey you gain alot of weight leh".......UNLESS that person say it HIMSELF/HERSELF FIRST. For example, "Wah lau......I gained so much weight lately lor........". Then the frank me will......"Haha ya...you do look like you gained abit huh.....aiya then cut down on supper la". Things like that~ I definitely wont say "No lah you didnt gain weight at all." UNLESS he/she really look like he/she didnt gain any weight.

Anyway,

我始终相信缘分。。缘浅了,淡了。。也就尽了。
凡事也无须太强求,因为我相信老天的安排。。当他安排一个人离开你,其实就已
经安排另一个人进入你的生命。=) 凡事皆注定。Everything happens for a reason. =)


All in all, I'm very glad dearie and me are on the same wavelength....although he said and I admit, I'm slightly more petty than him la. But I girl mah...naturally will be slightly more petty. Actually hor, I'm much more broad-minded than TONS of guys already...just that my man is just...amazingly good-tempered and broadminded with a good sense of humor; he hardly gets angry about anything. Zzzz [=.=]''''''''''''''''

Last night........we were at home and I was just standing close infront of him without tiptoeing and looking up at him in (fake)awe....with "innocent" eyes and smiling...... And he, for like the 1st time in a century, said to me, "Ahhh.........my sweet sweet wife...." then he smiled.

I was so shocked, "Wah.......you seldom call me like that one leh"
Dearie: Got lah. =)
Me: NoooOoo, you usually say 你这个贱人(slut)!!~ bla bla bla
Dearie: Wahahahahaha!!
Me: ZzzZzzz

Sometimes when he's in a siao-ding-dong mood, then he will jokkingly call me "贱人(slut)".
The funny thing is, I will still answer him, "What lah"
I'm also very "steady" right. =P 

[=.=]''''''' My friends were appalled that he called me such, aiya but I know he's jokking mah and he only said it at home. Sometimes I call him the same too. Wahahahaha.

We're so weird right~ 

Women charged for rape??? Lol

AFRICAN BUSINESSMAN DIES AFTER BEING RAPED BY HIS 5 WIVES




black girl

A businessman in Nigeria died after being raped by five of six wives. According to the Daily Mail, Uroko Onoja partied at a bar in Ugbugbu, Nigeria until the wee hours of the morning in July. When he returned home, he decided to have sex with his youngest wife. However, his five other wives became jealous and barged into his master bedroom. The women were armed with knives and sticks and began attacking Onoja. They eventually forced Onoja to have sex with them as well. He had sex with four of his wives in a row. But once the fifth wife approached to have sex with Onoja, he stopped breathing and eventually died. The five wives who forced Onoja to have sex ran into the woods. Two of the women have been arrested and charged with murder and rape. Onoja was a prominent member of the Ugbugbu community.



LOL!!!!!
