Went to celebrate Muz’s birthday last month, 19 July 🙂 still remember what a bitch school was that day with all the rushing for print and the crisis that only a few of us were dealing with, ugh. But at least night was better. Went to J8’s Manhattan Fish Market for dinner and then watched The Dark Knight Rises 😀

The night before, went to Somerset with Qiya and Mark to get his present ^^ even little trips like this make me happy. Mark said no shopping for me (how does he know about my reputation?) but it’s okay, Darilene wasn’t around. Ha!

The only picture I look decent in the whole day

Shared this seafood platter ($35.90) with Gerry and it comes with 2 soups and 1 salad 😀
It’s to die for… first time trying their platter and it’s a lot better than Fish & Co’s!

Rice is soft, fragrant & does not have raisins like F&C
The prawns… I can’t even. Whatever that white stuff is, it’s good.
Calamari is not too chewy or hard and fries are just nice
Fish, oysters and vegetables are all really, really fresh

Basically they have everything in one platter in perfect portions, and I don’t feel sick or have to force myself to finish after awhile. Me gusta. So glad we ordered this ^^

Soup had bits of chicken/seafood in it. I even had a bit of salad although I hardly eat tomatoes and cucumber 😛 aiya I don’t like most vegetables okay. Carbs are my favourite. Or rice, to be precise. Cheese fries shared among everyone 🙂

There were loads more food than these being 9 of us. Had a taste of this grilled fish in sauce though I don’t know what dish it was but it’s so yummy too! And sips of mocktails. Honestly I have been craving MFM ever since this. Hahaha we ordered so much till the bill was so hard to split! Damn service charge & GST.

Wanted to crop out the left side of the picture so that my bum doesn’t look big but nevermind

Cinema tickets were booked in advance already so we ended up being late and missing the first few minutes of the movie. Hate it when that happens because my subconscious will not bother to focus anymore since I already missed out things 🙁 add fatigue from school into the equation and I ended up falling asleep from Batman helping Catwoman fight till the stadium scene.

When I woke up, I was like…
Why is Catwoman in jail???
Who’s Ben??? Oh, Bane? Who’s that??
Which character is Gotham???

Then during the last 30 minutes of the movie, my contact lenses fell out from one eye and I ended up squinting and covering one eye the whole time wtf. The thing is I still thought the movie was awesome so just imagine. Did watch the first 2 films in the trilogy at home then went to rewatch Dark Knight Rises in theatres again. Maybe a review of the trilogy some other time.

Always so tired whenever we go out after school but I really enjoy them all 🙂 the previous Thursday, went to J8 again with Gerry, Mark, Muz and Hariz with this rough plan in mind but we ended up visiting the library to while away time, then bought KFC back to Mark’s house and played Dance Central 😀 so fun!!

Happy Birthday to the class teddy bear, early bird and ASS! 😀

Sometimes I feel self-conscious about my choice of topic when blogging. Usually it’s who I blog about. Don’t want people to say I’m biased or have favourites because it’s not like that! Sometimes you are just in the mood and sometimes you are not. Sometimes certain days are simpler to blog about because they don’t have as many pictures to organise and edit. But at the same time, obviously you can’t help being closer to some people isn’t it?

Went out with Darilene today, love how I have a direct bus to where she stays ^^ manicure session at Subway yay. Last time she helped to do my nails was in the VO room. Wow, I think only the two of us are capable of that hahahaha. Then we took a bus down to Upper Thomson Road for dinner 😀

We both had the chicken chop ($5.50) from the same western stall I blogged about last time and shared a Mixed Basket ($4.50 – 4 onion rings & 4 nuggets) only to realise… TOO MUCH FRIES. And we both regretted like crazy not ordering the spaghetti instead -_- but at least the chops came with soup which was quite yummy.

The chicken and its suace was quite good. Coleslaw was weird. Have had better fries, rings and nuggets. I think putting the frozen ones in my house’s oven would taste better. Sigh… really should have stuck with the pasta, no?! That was really awesome and we wouldn’t have left the whole basket full of fries, untouched.

I blame the guy at one of the tables eating his chicken chop and making it look so good, hence changing our minds about ordering spaghetti. Anyway it was quite crowded being a Saturday night and from one glance, seems like western food was the most popular choice among the patrons.

Sat in Salted Caramel for ages waiting for everything to digest. Then we shared a triple scoop; 2x earl grey tea which is the best as usual and 1x raspberry sorbet which was very sour and contrasted greatly (not in a good way) with the earl grey. Boohoo all the wrong choices today BUT it’s okay because of awesome company 🙂

Anyway, I bought dinner back from Longhouse for my family then my dad came to fetch me 😀 the beef noodles ($4) wasn’t even the authentic, traditional one. Anyone can cook just noodles and beef. The chicken rice ($3.30) tasted very plain and they didn’t remove bones. NYP Koufu’s one is so much better! Chilli was not bad though. Hokkien mee ($4) was a little dry but quite nice, especially the chilli.

Prices are before adding in packaging and for the regular portions. I bought everything in the biggest portions and the beef noodles charged me $0.20 for packaging -_- this is not a very good food day… Honestly only the western stall’s prices are worth it. And even then, only the spaghetti is good.

Nevermind! I am determined to try all the stalls at Upper Thomson Road and review them on my blog so that you all know what’s good and what to avoid 😉
