Om Nom Nom

Had dinner the other day after going to the Flyer at this awesome Japanese restaurant near Bugis! It's located along Liang Seah Street, which I never knew existed. I mean of course we don't know lots of roads exist (like... Tampines Street 5 or 7 or 15 or whatever), but I never knew there was a whole street with SO MUCH FOOD just opposite Bugis!


With Qiuting, who insisted on taking this photo even when I was chewing my food halfway.


Ang Geck Geck and the private room we had!

Qiuting was doing a blog advertorial for Yokozuna so obviously she has tonsssss of photos of the food, but here are just some that I thought were really good!

Salmon Tataki! I don't even like salmon, but I love cheese so the melted cheese layer on top totally made up for it.


Haha I realise I really do wear quite a lot of accessories. 3 bracelets and one bangle (on my upper left arm) and 3 rings. Generally that's the minimum :S


Okay forgot the name of this, but... more cheese!!! Om nomz.


Gyozas! All time love. I seriously love gyozas/dumplings. And I loveeee vinegar. I have to drown my gyoza/siew mai/har gao/xiao long bao in vinegar before eating it. So goooood.


Scallops!


And even fresh oysters! They had grilled oysters as well but they looked scary haha.


That's the niece of Qiuting's boyfriend on the left I think, and one of Qiuting's sisters on the right (:


The owner/chef of Yokozuna behind me. Think here he was recommending we get some salmon pizza.


Haha random.


Ice-cream! It's red bean and sesame ice-cream on a bed of pudding. I prefer the red bean one! I remember those old-school red bean ice-cream bars you generally only can buy from mama shops in HDBs. My mom loves them, I quite like them too.


That's Genevieve on the left, she's really small sized but OMG CAN SHE EAT A LOT. She had TWO udon bowls! I can't even finish one!


Spot the difference? All these photos are from Qiuting's blog, and she photoshoped my chin in the second one hahahahaha. AIYAH I know my chin is very sharp, but I look so unnatural here!


Photo 1


Photo 2. Hahaha she photoshoped my chin here again. I look so weird but I guess that's cause I'm so used to my own face! Do I look better like this???




Hmmm can't tell if she edited my chin or not here. Looks less pointy than usual.


Okay my chin has been edited here too haha I think Qiuting has an obsession with it -_-



Last Night:
Watched Devil by M. Night Shymalan, and I thought it was not bad a movie. Basically 5 people are trapped in a lift and weird stuff keeps happening to them. One of them is the devil in human form because they are all evil so... guess which person it is!

I thought the devil had such bad priorities though -_- I mean the people in the lift only had petty crimes like theft, hit & run, assault... What about fathers who rape daughters?! Mothers who prostitute their 7 year olds?! Torturers, murderers... the list goes on. I rather there be more wallets stolen than girls raped!!!


Grab grab machine at Cineleisure Level 9.



:D Okay we didn't actually win that. We spent $10 TRYING to win it, then made friends with another couple there (a guy in his 30s/40s and his girlfriend). The guy was obviously a regular there because he must have had $100 in coins and he just kept using them. He spent $30 winning this for us.

*points at me* "She your girlfriend? If you do 10 push ups I give it to her"
Haha so Alaric got down and started doing push ups but the guy felt embarrassed for him (a whole throng of people came out of the cinema at that point) and stopped him at 7. And gave me the Stitch! YAY!

There were these girls standing behind Alaric watching him do push ups and I heard them saying to each other "haha you should sit on him". Like wahlao -_- I'm standing right there ahem.




Won another one! (On our own). This is the Stitch that can walk around on the floor haha and it cost like $30+ to catch :/ But now we're gonna be pro at this!




So huggable!




So cute! This was at LAN after that, at this LAN shop near the SMU dorms. The seats are damn comfy!


Alaric insisted on strapping Stitch up. But alright it looks so cute here!

Teehee went to sleep that night holding Stitch (and with images of the devil in my mind -brrr-).
9.30am
Mother: "Wake up! Church!"
Me: "Ok ok ok"
Mother: "Aiyoh. Aiyohhhh. AIYOH."
Me: "What. What??"
Mother: "HAHAHA SO UGLY."

She thinks my Stitch is ugly ): She said it should be used as a scarecrow.

Oh and about the Photobucket problems, I sent them this:
I am using a Pro Photobucket account (username= sophiewillocq) to hosts photos that I upload to my blog at sophiewillocq.blogspot.com. Lately many of my readers have been complaining that they cannot see my photos regardless of which Internet browser they are using; however this seems to affect only some people and not others as I can see my own photos on my blog.

My readers have also commented that they have not been able to view Photobucket
photos on other peoples' blogs as well, so I'm wondering if it is a problem with
Photobucket itself.

If it is, it is extremely annoying as I renewed my account not too long ago and I
don't see why I should be paying to host photos that can't be viewed. Please let
me know what can be done about this. Thank you.

They replied:
Dear sophiewillocq@gmail.com,

And emailed me AGAIN (I didn't reply any),
Dear sophiewillocq@gmail.com,

Please let us know if you have still experienced this problem over the past couple of days, thank you.

Sincerely,
Your Photobucket Support Team

Well at least they do seem really committed to solving the problem! And I wonder why it's only affecting Singapore. The government must have increased security settings to our Internet hahaha.
Okay anyway so please let me know if you guys can see the photos? And if you can't, I'd really appreciate it if you could follow the instructions given above and comment/email me with the results! I promise to post photos of stuff people have been asking about after this haha.

I ordered from Pizza Hut and my food's just arrived. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, bye!
