Good and Ex Makan

hmm... haha juz had a good to excellent dinner last nite.... but guess its a bit ex tat its has set the overall second highest record for my dinning history... the highest being at the Line restaurant which cost S$100 plus per person but the Line is the buffet style so still ok... for ala cart the Jumbo Seafood restaurant would be the most ex so far:) haha but the food its simply too cool and super good:)

So we ate our dinner at Jumbo Riverwalk near the clarke quay:)

yeah here's the 1st dish on the table... its some sashami... errm think the full name for it would be the geoduck sashami... its juz taste wonderful... super good and in fact better than all the salmon sasahimi i eaten... nice start of the meal:)


then comes the second dish that i ordered cos i cant eat crabs... so guess hav to order something else to fill my stomach other than beer:) so this would be the scallop dish.. there's a total of 6.. but the other 2 is already in some1 else stomach...lol:) guess the food is too good or they r too hungry... so my hand has to move faster than their mouth next time...lol:) btw this is another of my fav... i juz lov scallops:)

hmm... here's the third dish... it comes in 1 big bowl then its served into 4 servings for us all... of cos its the prawns... hw can we miss out the prawns in a seafood restaurant?...lol:) so this is the drunken prawns... juz by looking at it, sq already in drunken state.. even b4 the prawns were eaten... and yup the soup for the prawns is XO.. taste wonderful and is a good blend:)

hmm... this is actually the 5th dish... the 4th dish as usual my hands r full on the prawns... so no chance to take the 4th dish... anw the 4th and the 5th dish is similar.. which i cant eat oso... the 4th is the black pepper crab... from the feedback of those eating... it taste veri good and oso similarly this 5th dish of the day... chilli crab... haha i get to taste the sauce with the buns... the sauce is way superb... so can roughly imagine hw the crab would taste like......

and so here's the 6th dish but not the last dish yet... this is the crispy baby squid... errm to mi it taste like fried ikan billis.... so not much appetising for mi.... luckily this is the 6th not the first dish... but still the dark thick sauce (nt in the pic) tat accompanies it for dipping makes this baby squid taste alright:)

Then of cos we hav our last dish, fried noodle in seafood gravy. The pic is oso nt taken cos probably i enjoying my Heineken beer till i forgot to take the last pic:) O.. the noodles is oso simply tip top standard... the noodles r cooked juz nice till they r not too soft and yet retain the crispyness... and accompanied by the seafood sauce... it juz too good to be true:)

And so that would end our "memorable" dinner...lol:) and here would be the break down of the meal.. overall its still quite worth it:) Cheers...

and off to JB....:)

So Long Yet So Fast.....

Time Flies.... well... it again has been some time since i last blog... taking a look at some of my other frens' blog... them seem super intact:) nth has changed... well.. so mi oso got a bit bored abt blogs... so got a quick refresh bg for my own and removed some of the stuff....



yeah btw this is my free starbucks coffee on the 3rd dec:) haha thx shiqi for the lobang:)

hmm.... next i shall freely blog from now onwards... regarding anything i feel or i saw or i hav been thinking... guess teacher hav to maintain a blog for themselves cos they would be too busy remembering so many things... like the names of the students... class activities and bla bla.. so guess for personal stuff its best blog within here to help mi remember...

so lets start off with something inauspicious...lol:) well several things happened and i oso wondered into my own life.... do i really live tat freely? is there any boundaries or limitations to my own life? wat controls my own life?? so.. after hearing the news regarding a plane explosion in the pudong airport while i was inside the SIA plane in the same airport at the same timing... this well... can only say a flick of luck ba... perhaps my life is not destined to end and god wants mi to suffer more...lol:) then comes the suicide or the accident case tat i happen to witness at the woodlands bus interchange... well not too sure if its suicide or accident... apparently a dead body was covered in white with 5 police cars/vans blocking the victims from public view... guess life is too short... hav to treasure every moment... so regardless of wat... a sad day or happy its still a day... might as well make it a happy day....

hmm... wat else... mi oso went for a super last min plan to go shanghai... probably b4 i start ur permanent job... i want to recollect all my beautiful memories. b4 plunging into hell...lol:) so book a ticket on mon and immediately flew on tues and come back on sat...lol:) cos its a last min thingi... so i manage to secure a super good deal wif SIA.. haha juz keep refreshing the page and the price drop from 1000 plus to only 700... hmm 30% off yeah:) so ate a hell lot in shanghai.. i love the weather man...:)



(above is the pic taken when i went to siling pri to present to the pri students for their sci week.... of cos muz thx to the help of jj and the students... if not it wont be a success..) ... and of cos for those who dunno i signed the MOE teacher agreement contract on the 21st NOV 2009... so officially i'm a teacher... ready to be put into the NIE wok to stir -fry..... wonder would there be any chio bu in NIE?? hopefully there's some... oh haha juz to blog it down for myself to rem in the future... mi attended a church sharing session/activity with a fren of mine... she's quite nice and helpful... and the session is veri entertaining... but guess i wont be gg in the future... cos its too far.....lol:) unless she got car or she accompany mi... else its really a killer to travel so far... guess she's super into the activities so she can take the long hours of travelling...haha:)

hmm.... now wondering shd i go back to canberra sec for the dec meeting??? afterall i wont be in the sch next year... but i'm officially still paid for my salary and is still attached to the sch... well.... guess maybe i go back to take a few more pics with my colleagues:)
