Went to school today to trade in my I&R. Twice. Heh Mrs Tan caught me the second time. Ha. She was like" eh didn't you trade in just now already?"
I swear that was the last thing I would ever do for PW.
Then went to the library to do five hours of duty with meng jiao and shi xuan. Did shelfreading which was totally eeky :( The books were like super dusty and some of the shelves were so old that they shook tremendously upon touch. Scary.
Then it suddenly occurred to me why a CCA like library need representatives to go for the CCA leaders' first AID course. Library is like such a dangerous CCA.
Yeah right.
Was like totally hungry after duty cos I skipped lunch. Felt slightly faint even.
Me and mj took 174 to Orchard Ion where we met up with our sec school buddies:))
I LOVE ION ORCHARD. ESPECIALLY NIPPON-YA!
The whole basement is like dedicated to Japanese food fare. Everything simply looks delicious. I seriously I could eat the whole basement if it was possible. OMG!
Too spoilt for choices! There were like piping hot Ramen, japanese rice balls in sweet soy sauce, soft white jap ice cream, golden brown octopus balls (takoyaki) and so much so much stuff OMG OMG! I think I am in Jap paradise.
After much deliberation, we decided to settle for Go!Go!Curry! Met Jing jing while queuing cos I felt a tap behind me.
We thought we would trust 8 days' review and we were right:))
The sauce was a little spicy, sure, but mostly it was just sweet and savory and maybe a little salty i guess— robust with flavour. It blended perfectly with the rest of the ingredients: The pure flavor of the sticky rice, the crunchy breading of the pork and chicken cutlet. I love dipping the egg with the sweet curry sauce.
The Grand Slam portion is so huge that 2 people can't even finish it. And I am serious. You will be totally crazy if you can finish that on your own. Okay maybe not for some people who have huge appetites.
Okay allow me to gush and rave about NIPPON-YA!
Basically it's a japanese food boutique with ultra cute packaging that looks too pretty to be eaten. *hyperventilates.
Even their sample food models look so inviting. And so real!
I would totally give anything to own a shop like NIPPON-YA.
Bunny-shaped soft biscuit with macha filling that's cute to the MAX!
Dark chocolate with powdery sugary icing that's sinful TTM!
And there's the CUTE japanese doll wrapper wrapped around a nut and jap biscuit. On first look I thought it was inedible. OMG.
I think I am going crazy.
I want to live in NIPPON-YA!
*hints* eh my b'day coming soon hor *hints*
Then we walked around and window shopped a lot. Diva, MUJI, 77th street, Uniqlo.
MUJi's toys are so interesting and fun. Lin li commented that we are a bunch of childish people who refuse to grow up. Cos we were totally fascinated by the chopping board set that is super FUN. I mean whoever invented that toy is a genius. The segments of the carrot is joined up by sticky pads. Then you use a wooden chopper to pretend to cut up the carrot. The carrot breaks into many segments upon chopping and give a crisp just like the real thing.
As we took the escalator, Mj commented that the yellow shirt that Zi hui was wearing matches the guy's shirt who was standing at an escalator just opposite going in the same direction as her. Right next to her. Really that shade of yellow is like quite rare and you can't possibly miss it. What a coincidence that was. There was a great uproar. Couldn't stop laughing after that. We were gasping for air and our faces were as red as tomatoes from all the laughing.
We tried out nerd specs at 77th street which was really amusing. Heh.
On our way out, we spotted Adrian Pang the mediacorp actor and his wifey. He looks better in person:) He was on the phone so he didn't notice us watching. Then Amanda commented that she has the same phone as him so we urged her to walk beside him and show off her phone to him. Haha we were so kaypoh that we tried to tail him and see which shop he would go next. Okay I know. You must think that we are such a bunch of stalkers.
Tried out some winter jackets at Uniqlo where they were having some sort of sale I guess.
After much walking about, we felt famish again so we went to grab a bite. Ate the famous octupus balls there that had people queuing. Met Kaywei my sec 2 classmate there. Drank the macha float with ice-cream. The macha's quite bitter but the ice-cream soften the hues of the bitterness which is like not too bad. Super bloated after that. I feel so guilty about my food escapade today.
Saw a couple PDA-ing near the MRT exit which totally freaked me out and I literally screamed cos it was quite gross. And I think my scream was quite sharp and loud cos the echo resonated from the cellings of the shopping mall. Didn't think they heard me cos they were too engrossed and there were so many people around. EWW. Mj was traumatised by it too.
Camwhored in front of a dark panel and we bid farewell as we made our way home.
Mj and me went out to take a bus back and we were struck awed by the christmas decorations that we couldn't help but whip out our handphones and start snapping. The purple christmas tree is so tall and BEAUTIFUL! There were dancing lights and awesome effects played out by the water fountain outside Ion Orchard.
It is really quite a pity that Huiyi couln't make it for this gathering:( After GSC we shall organize another one :D Set!
