Thats my character, in one of my favourite stages/maps.Hee...If you play Audition, look for me at Novice or Free servers. But make sure I know you first. -.-"...
In AuditionSEA there are also people, that look for online girl/boyfriends. Who the hell is as desperate as that?! Or maybe they are just looking for people that will buy from the game clothes and accessories. Who knows. There was this guy, who was in the same room as me and 2 other girls. And you know what, the first thing he said when he came in the room was:
"Can be my girlfriend?!"
*no one replies*
"Please, XXXXXXXXXXXXX. By my GF!"
*...no one replies*
"Please, I need a GF!!"
*Girl replies*"If you win the next rounds"
*Guy*"ok"
Game starts and he lost 3 rounds in a row. 0.0"...Too bad. Then I went and created my own room, and after a few rounds with others. He came in and said:
"Can be my GF pls? I buy you anything you want..."
"see first, I play with you 3 rounds, if you win 2 rounds then ok."
*He loses the first 2 of course. Duh...*
I went and asked Jason to join my room and play cause this guy was like super pestering LAH. So Jason came in and the first thing he said was "God, he is ugly..." (Jason was using a female character). Then cause there was this other guy in the room so that other guy went like "who??" and Jason said "not you." And then the pestering guy went like "Who?!" and Jason said "The one talking...". And that guy, went offline. LOLZ.
Jason so evil...But that character was indeed ugly.

Then we went to Long John Silver's for lunch. Been eons since I last ate there.
Nothing much, we walked about and I saw this obsence gift...
The designers are really careful in the details. -.-"
Took a look at some other stuff like that model with the shaking head above. Headed to Toys'r'us to look for something to get for the present exchange on Saturday. But couldn't find anything...Here are some of the things we saw.
Monkeys with cymbals...Headless shark. Poor thing..0.0
Thomas the toy train set which the two of them went mad over. Lolz.
OH, and Halif got ELMO-ED! Heh...
Hmmm, went to a few other shops. OH, I bought a bag for $110!!! Kidding LAH, it was a free bag from Kerastase which you will get if you buy $110 of their products. Looked kinda nice and since I was restocking my shampoo and conditioner, I got it. Took a train back with Halif cause Vivien was leaving from Tampines. Then took bus 88 back from Pasir Ris interchange. Heh. Thats about it.
Thursday, 14th Dec
Went out again on Thursday. Met Kangwei, Joey, Vivien and Bernard at NTUC Fairprice TM then headed to the food court (where Sadiq came) cause some of us have not eaten, but it was full, so decided to go to Pastamania, which was ALSO packed. Decided not to eat, and went to the arcade where they played Daytona USA, then Halif came, then Vivien and Bernard started playing with the Para Para machine. Hahas, Bernard got a perfect score LAH. 0.0"...
Went to GV and bought some snacks cause we were going to watch the movice Eragon. The dragon baby so CUTE LAH!!! And Halif owes each of us a baby dragon, don't ask me where he's going to get it. And Kangwei was going like "I will name my daughter Saphira." Which was the name of the dragon. -.-"
Walked around then headed to KFC where we had early dinner. Sat there and talked and talked, then while we headed to Century Square's arcade, Halif left cause he was sleepy. Played Time Crisis 2 there, another ancient game which I have not played for some time. Tried my luck on onof those prize games and won...NOTHING. Lolz. Left after that and took bus 72 from tamp interchange while KW they all left on train and Vivien took another bus.
Went to my Grandma's place where my mum came and picked me up. Ended up falling asleep cause I was too sleepy. Hahas...Woke up and had late dinner there then left for home. I love my grandma's curry!! Gonna go there tomorrow afternoon before going to Joey's party at night. Have yet to think of what to get, guess I will go to TM or White sands tomorrow to search for something.
Wheee!

And of course there were side dishes
Total Damage was around $275 for 6 people. Free flow of water and tea.
Anyways, back to the food.
Ala Carte Menu:
The Seafood Pancake was good, and was like the one that I had in Korea. Crispy too! Bibimbap was good, but then again, you can never go wrong with bibimbap and I felt that there was nothing special about it. The Ginseng Chicken Soup was so-so, not fragrant enough though it was close to the one I had in Korea as well. Grilled Saba Fish was too salty and really kinda dry. Pork with Special Kimchi was good though, not too spicy, just the way I like it, and the pork was well cooked. The cold noodle with chili sauce, from what I could tell from my brother's expression was that, the noodle was undercooked and tough, and it was too spicy.
Charcoal BBQ:
The Fresh Pork Belly was well, really fresh and didn't have a porky smell to it. But it was rather bland and tough/dry compared to the ones in Korea, though both are not marinated. The Marinade Pork fared much better and I really prefer it over the un-marinated version. It was jucier, softer and was more like the actual Korean one. Mushrooms were fresh and well cooked, juicy and succulent. Oh, and by the way, a waiteress cooked the food for us.
Now, about the decor and whatnot:
When I stepped into the place, I got reminded of Korea immediately. You can choose the tables where you will be seated on chairs/benches, or the ones where you seat on the floor, which is more traditional. Whereas, the ventilation system COULD have been a little better, Jason got so much smoke into his eyes that he was sniffling and tearing...IF you seat at the benches, remember this, those that don't go to the toilet often seats on the inside, and the benches are movable. I think they could have made it more convenient, cause if you seat on the inside, you prolly can't exit from your side and have to make everyone move out when you want to enter or go out. But you have your own private "booth" if you get the benches. Service was good, patient and smiley.
My own verdict on this place is that, if you love Korean food, you will find the food here expensive, but worth it. Its really authentic and the food is good. I will give it a 7.5 out of 10.

SK Jewellery I suppose...
Anyways, we went to Vivo. And damn it was freaking HUGE LAH! A kid can get lost there for days can?! Walked around and checked out shops like Gap, Pull and Bear, Chomel and Marks and Spencer. My verdict on- Gap : The store smells too strongly of the parquet flooring, and made my nose itch. Clothes were kinda typical, the tees didn't attract me, but the jeans seem nice, though they cost $99. -Pull and Bear: Store is well decorated and organised, guys clothes on one side, and girls clothes on the other. I think the tops and bottoms there fare better than Gap's.
Talisa bought a pretty necklace from Chomel. But I didn't get anything cause the things there didn't quite go with my usual dressing. Hmm, proceeded outside to the "boardwalk" and fountain areas to take some photos. Take a look:
Okay thats enough photos...For now. Hmm, watched Cinderella. Omg, that show is freaky LAH. Never gonna go under the knife for plastic surgery. But the story is actually quite saddening. The ending kinda reminded me of Dark Water though. But before the credits rolled, everyone thought it was fine, but then suddenly, something appeared and gave me a shock. Jumped at least 3 times during this movie LAH.
Proceeded to have dinner at a place where Talisa's friend introduced. Its called Asian Kitchen. The food was really good, service crew are also patient and smiley. Though I would prefer if they gave me an extra plate for the bones.
Xiao Long Baos were cheap and good, the skin was thick enough so it won't tear and empty the soup in the dumpling, but not tough. Banana fritters with red bean paste was a little bland if you eat it like that, but nice with the syrup given. The pork ribs rice was good too, but then there was more bone then meat. -.-". The Asian Kitchen is located at B2, beside Thai Express.
After dinner, we went out to the fountain area again. And took more photos!
Hmm, then we took a train back to Sengkang where Talisa took a bus home and I took a cab. Reached home at around 11pm, and watched HBO with my mum...
OH, I went for dinner at Parkway Parade just now. And it was another huge place. Neh neh...But dinner was real good. Had Japanese cuisine at this place called "Sakuraya Fish Mart", it sells many things from Japan, and on the inside, there is a place for people to sit and dine. The sashimi we ordered were really really fresh!! And the sushi set was delish too. The quality of the food is really worth the price, if not more. Its located at B1, in between "The Cocoa Trees" and "Swissbake".
Thats about it.
