the jellyfish is back!
This would be the last post of this blog, I think? Since there were frogs found on this blog. Does anyone encounter the same thing?
Officially relinked to www.jellyunderthesea.blogspot.com
Yea is an anyhow name, until I can find a better one. :)

the jellyfish is back! Posting about SOH 3rd outing, which was very random. :V
Outing initial class: Unclassified makan!
Outing final class: Meow, nom, whale, square, cake!
*Everything can be predicted nicely, but to make the happenings continue as usual is another matter*
I think got recent news report that mentioned every elderly has to fall down at least once in their life (wth theory is that), so night shifts just got busier for HDB areas! So although I should have slept after my 3 night duties, I still went for the outing. =P
So me, WL, Nat mei, Eugene (aka apple), YL and ZY went for this random outing, not hosted by me of course~ =P
Time the outing is supposed to start: 1400
Time I reached Somerset: 1335
Time 2nd person reached: 1401
Time last person reached: 1445
So ya la, just walked around 7-11 and HMV, looking at the CD tracks while listening to the songs being broadcasted. 7-11 was broadcasting 'Make it last forever' which made me stoned at the mineral water and other cookies for a few minutes. Owl city had a new album? Hmm... Didn't look through much as ZY called to say that he had arrived at location (1401). YL arrived at around the same time, thus we went to walk around Somerset 313 random shops and cold storage.
I got a big bottle of mineral water. ZY went to get a bottle of small pepsi.
me and YL -> O_O
When we reached the end of the Cold Storage trip, ZY had swiftly changed the Pepsi to a bottle of Coke, thus the coke company had an odd man out. =P ZY is really a loyal supporter of coke! Cheers! :D
Me: "Eh! How come suddenly got 1 ulu bottle of pepsi here sia!?"
--------------
The rest arrived by 1445 (45 mins late), so with a bottle of coke and many hungry people, the outing began auspiciously! ^^ Apparently the plan was to grab and bite and catch a movie, so we head to Orchard Cienleisure to choose a movie that suits everyone and dosen't clash with Euegne's book-in timing. I suggested 'My GF can see ghosts', since I have no idea what's good for everybody. My mei wasn't so enthu though, as that movie was a Korean movie and it was rather troublesome to read the subtitles.
Nat: "Eh kor, that movie is Korean leh, have to read subtitles very ma fan lor..."
Me: "I know Korean... (movie, but read very fast de mah)"
WL: "Huh Jeff you know Korean!?"
The bracket represents the things I wanna say, but do not have the chance to say. Seems like most people do not really want that movie, and we ended up settling for 'What to expect when you're expecting'. Sounds nice too~! Kena dragged to buy the tickets with her, which most people followed and proceeded to take out the $10 notes from the wallets, until Eugene just throw a $100 note at the cashier.
Rich and style like a boss! (claps!) ZY was very interested in the coke picture and banner pasted on the table and the nearby walls. He kept laughing at the times when YL kena disturbed because of Trecia's absence. =P
--------------
1520hrs
It's the 1st time I heard of the fast food 'Everything with Fries (EwF)', apparently it was recommended by my mei when she tried it the last time with her friends. Rather nice, but I don't have the impression that it has other outlets in SG. Few types of burgers, 5 types of fries, soft-drinks. A burger for $6.90, a complete set for $9.90. I must say that there was seriously nothing special about the fries, because it is about the same as other fast food fries, straight cut, thin, but with additional seasonings like Salt+Vinegar, curry (which tasted like Instant noodles' condiments), plain, etc. Don't need to elaborate on the drinks ya?
I ordered a (dory fillet?) fish burger with cheese and mushrooms inside. That burger is delicious! The fish serving is quite large, compared to some miserable serving at other places. The mushroom cheese combination was great also, although it's not as good as BK's mushroom swiss burger. A rather big burger, so actually it's quite all right being $6.90 if you a moderately filling food item. Quite a number ordered the bacon and egg burger. The egg tasted like egg (who said that?). My mei ordered a crispy chicken fillet burger which she said she had no idea what was that. I tried a mouth and recognised that to be prawn paste chicken.
Nat: "Eh kor, how you know is prawn paste, the name like Korean leh."
WL: "Jeff knows Korean mah!"
Me: "Alamak, the taste is being stated at the cashier counter luh~"
ZY seemed very hesitant to eat the vege, but managed to finish it. WL didn't touch his coleslaw~! I'm sure most people should know that Mac's seaweed shaker fries contained a small percentage of sugar in the seasoning, thus making the fries sweet. ZY put 2 packets of white sugar to his fries, which was er... Not nice.
Nat had trouble finishing her fries, so Eugene helped her out greatly, while I took out a few of them to make a love message using 8 french fries. Kena condemned upside down by almost everybody. WL decided to make a much better one using extra sugar and ketchup packets, along with his untouched coleslaw.
Fresh Coleslaw coated with red loving ketchup, coated with white sugar for perfect sweetness~ Nice right!? I still find it strange how come WL dosen't have a gf, haha~ :V
98.7FM had a mini race that day in Orchard Central, so we listened to the random live broadcasting while savouring / chatting randomly. =D The rest of the remaining time was spent walking around Scape. Much more crowded than usual, with more people selling random stuff both in and out of the proper mall. Didn't see Shawa, probably his off day. :/
~~~~~
1650hrs
While on the way up to the cinema lobby, there was an interesting movie poster 'The Hedgehog'. However the animal which the characters were carrying looked more like a cat than a proper hedgehog. ZY was laughing at that for quite some time and shouting 'LAZERCAT' at that poster. Because of LazerCat, meow~!
YL: O_O
WL: =V
Me: XD
Coincidentally JH was also there and watching the same movie as us. I think he should be a Signaller (wth is that) now? Definitely looks much happier than the time he was studying. Hmm~ There is a small stall that sells subs / salads and is extremely expensive (about $12 pet set). A bottle of coke cost $2.70 at the vending machine, which turned ZY off totally.
To be honest, I didn't understand the movie storyline. If you are mentioning about handling different stages of pregnancy and how to handle the woman's emotional stress, that's still all right, otherwise the whole continuous movie is a blank to me. Some scenes are rather funny though (Like the woman introducing breastfeeding to the children / speech on the stage), best to bring along gf to see. ZY understands everything for strange and unknown reasons. So hmm... Although he looks cute, but the innocent part must have a query in front! Wahaha~ :D
----------------------------------
1900 hrs
Many people seemed to be fascinated by the 'Gachapon' machines at the basement. So we took a look at the toys they offered and the price. $3 - $4 for a capsule is a rather ridiculous price, I wonder who will play that.
~Ding ding! You got yourself 2 red potions~!
Next up is slacking / chatting about life time at Starbucks @ 313 Somerset! I ordered ice-chocolate with cream? Eugene, WL and my mei ordered other drinks with coffee contents. The tall Malay guy was rather cool/style and definitely patient in waiting for us to decide on our drinks. Someone should give him an award!
(After about 5 mins of looking at the menu)
Guy: Are you all ready to order? [With smile]
Yes Sergeant! XD
-----
10 mins later, we settled down comfortably at a table with a nice view of Orchard road shoppers and a random pau shop. While I was happily enjoying my iced chocolate...
Nat: "Eh kor! Why you come SB never order coffee to drink de?"
Me: "Er... Cos I do not drink / like coffee since young?"
Nat: "Try la!"
Me: "Nah."
Nat: "But kor, not drinking coffee at SB is just like going to KFC without eating chicken but eating fish instead."
Me: "Huh wad?"
Nat: "Just like Mac is famous for its fries, then you go there and don't eat fast food."
WL: (Another relevant example)
Jeff: "So is just like going to burger king without eating burger right?"
Nat/WL: "Ya la!" ^^
Alamak! I actually wanted to go to the Cold Rock Cafe for some ice-cream instead, but nvm! This iced-chocolate is also awesome!
Eugene went to the toilet for a rather long time, so the rest of us just talked about life, CCAs, studies, useless subjects, playing with ZY's red capsule. =P Currently 1.5 years into NS, all these topics are just like memories, the time when everybody was complaining about the heavy homework loads, the stupid diagrams / theories we have to memorise, the number of days we have to devote / commit into our CCAs, and all the efforts are just to get into a course of our choice. Different routes, different methods, a whole new experience for everybody.
"You all are now sitting in this hall. When you all get your A-level results, the person on your left or right, or maybe even yourself would not get into a university / course of your choice."
The awesome kind of sentence you would like to hear when you place your trust into an institution so as to have a brighter future. Anyway Eugene came back later empty-handed, and ZY dosen't seem to be very hungry. So we continued our talks and I was rather surprised by 3 things!
1. YL was from NPCC! Sia la uniformed group personnel! Dosen't look like, only for me, the rest agree that he definitely looks like one. O_O
2. Eugene only had basketball as a CCA. He looks like the kind who has more than that~
3. WL is the saver of all PJ's AV items' faults. Anything that is wrong, and he would be there to save the day! Woah awesome, undercover hero exposed! :D
No la, the 3rd point anyhow de, but its still true that he is an awesome troubleshooter for AV equips.
-------
*Surprise*!
The cool guy came to our table with a cake, and sang a birthday song with the rest. Hmm, he was quite wise to think that it's my birthday. Somehow a lot of people missed out on ZY, so I just pulled him in. ^^
"Once a year we celebrate, with stupid hats and plastic plates..."
Apparently I really suck at cutting cakes (No experience), and the fruit cake was freakin' icy. Eugene helped me and ZY, along with making a fruit avalanche on the metal plate. The silent one is always the wise one. [More like he can't stand the cui-ness] The cake was delicious! Vanilla sponge cake topped with white chocolate pieces and traffic light fruits (Strawberry, peaches, kiwi). Fragrant, sweet, Great! :D
ZY loves the white chocolate pieces, so I ate more of the fruits on the cake and the avalanche ruins. The peaches were definitely smooth, so I took a stick from Starbucks to finish up.
Nat: "Kor! Why don't take 1 more stick, then can make a pair of chopsticks to eat. Easier right?"
The truth is I rather not use a pair of chopsticks as my way of holding is described as weird in many people's eyes. Anyway I am ok with using a stick, so let's just stick with it (literally).
--------------------------------------
2030 hrs
Eugene needs to leave as he needs to book in before 2200hrs. Thanks a lot! ^^
So everybody continued to talk about random stuff, while I continued with my fruits. ZY has stopped eating the white chocolate as he said it was unhealthy. (Drinking coke is healthier~?)
Next up is drawing time. I have no idea how did that even start, but the next hour was dedicated to drawing on the cake box, foolscap paper, about random rubbish, cats drawn by ZY, SOH drawn by my mei, along with whales, names of everybody... Just when things couldn't get any more random / funnier...
WL's phone: "Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom, nom nom nom nom nom nom nom..."
ZY had a notebook for English lessons. So out of curiosity, I took it and started reading out random pages. His command of english was fine, at least he dosen't write long sentences and have commas everywhere (like mine). The long passage on himself was rather well written. Another page contained commonly use sentences and phrases, not bad also. The next page explained the differences between nouns / verbs / adjectives, etc.
Nouns: (Some proper names, objects)
Verbs: (Some proper action words)
Adjectives: Happy, sad, square
SQUARE!?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2130
So in case you are wondering why 'Meow, nom, whale, square, cake', you got it. =P
YL said there was a place to stone at Mandarin Hotel, so we went there and surprisingly it was rather cosy with a few sofas and nice background music. We were not alone as there were others sleeping on other sofas. Rested there while listening to various random music and looking at the interesting signs in the area. I have no idea why I should be a pro in old songs (That's War!).
ZY wanted to leave after like 30mins? A group of people were dancing in front of Taka. Wanted to cut across them with my mei, but she dosen't want to... Aw! =P
ION orchard played Maple's Henesys BGM when we stepped into the foyer in front of Orchard MRT. That was totally random! They should have played a boss theme music when we went into the toilet. With this epic ending and a whole night of sunday night randomness in Orchard, SD / SOH's 3rd outing officially ends here.
Ah, with no coke from ZY.
~~~~~~~~
I forgot to mention Eugene and my mei gave me a bag of Levi's merchandise. Thanks a lot! =D
It was indeed a fun outing. :) Shall be posting the small number of pictures I took in another post. ^^
12:01 AM
The random pictures related to SOH's 3rd outing!
Ok la, I did not take every single one, but somehow they ended up in my phone. Enjoy! XD
===========================================================
EwF burger, coleslaw and fries! This set is mine, with the fish inside the burger and the satisfying amount of fries with ketchup at the side. This is enough to make you full. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, WL's sweetheart~!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was taken at mandarin hotel, with the signs...
No eating
No sleeping
No er... kissing / coupling / hanky panky?
The hanky panky name was suggested by Zul, I still think it's amusing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cute ZY and police officer YL. ZY is really cute right?? =P
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOH's awesome random-ness! Nothing was contributed by me. Is that animal a Koala? Cos I cannot recognise it... Somehow the things written on them do make sense if you look at them individually~ :V
Oh well. a memory!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yea, the display pic which I made as 'Unclassified Makan'!
So from top left and in a clockwise direction...
*Eugene, Trecia, Jeff, Nat, WL, ZY, YX, YL*
So how were the pics chosen to represent everybody?
Eugene: Apple, his maple IGN consists of Apple, so here's a cool one for him!
Trecia: A bear? I took this from her FB pics, it looked cute, just like her smile. :)
Jeff: Happy birthday jellyfish! WL put this as the original display pic, so I just took it. Appropriate!
Nat: Pitbull's 'International Love'! I wanted to put Nata De Coco, but it looks boring. Well she sang this at K-box right, even though almost nobody knows the song. Suits her anyway~!
WL: DJ monkey! He said it looks cute, I agree.
ZY: Don't need to further explain, right? ^^
YX: Anime character. Just like Trecia, took from his FB pics. Looks like real life YX anyway!
YL: LAZERCAT! Meow~~~!!!!
============================================================
Kayz, that's all! Nat still holds the pics on the fruit cake, me and ZY's shots and other pics. If I can get from her, I will post them here. =P

the jellyfish is back! Posting about today's random FAP trip! :D
Yea, everybody is working and my cousin is resting to meet her bf tonight, so must well go out for a walk. =P
-----------
Started out the morning by going to library @ Esplanade. The durian was very quiet in the morning, with some random people walking around to take photographs / read the exhibitions. Most are tourists, so I am considerably the odd one out over there. =P The circular lift was rather cool and is definitely complete compared to the last time when the circle line wasn't completed.
The library is on the 3rd floor and it looks really different from other libraries! The most different is that there is no children in this library, compared to other regional / public ones. ^^ The library is divided into music, dance, films and 2 other sections which I forgot, unlike the common ones where the categories are adult, reference and children.
[A group of people were filming at the library cafe, probably for a random scene, totally random.]
So yep, just walked around looking at this arts library. Somehow this library reminds me of the Celadon and Goldenrod City pokemart! If you know what I mean, haha~
1. Music section
I think all the libraries have devoted a small section to the performing arts. So imagine this library to have a ridiculously-exaggerated amount of books about music / musicians / histories / etc over that small range of decimal points. Didn't really browse through though!
This section have a lot of music CDs! Classics, english pop, other languages songs, rocks. Warren may like this place, since he listens to a lot of old songs~ There is Jay Chou's CD inside, although I can't find fragrant rice as one of the tracks in that album. Apparently you have to unlock the CD at the counter to listen to the tracks, and they cannot be borrowed out of the library. I saw one of Katy Perry's CD, so went to unlock and listen at the listening tables. Not bad sia! A different experience from listening at home. =P
I also found out what it the only Owl City item owned by NLB! It's actually a score book for people to learn to play 'Ocean Eyes' songs. Rather interesting, but definitely not for me to appreciate, cos everything is a mess to me. :X
There were also loads of other score books / sheets. Some looked rather ancient for random reasons, so there were quite a number of librarians taking care of those.
2. Dance section
Choreography C4 Direction!
The dance section was rather small, with a row of books about choreography / different types of dances in the word / etc. There was also a small exhibition over there. Not really interesting to me, no Audi things there though!
3. Films section
I think 1/4 of the library was devoted to this section. There were quite a number of racks and shelves for a lot of movies, esp the older ones. I saw Saw I and II over there, was Avatar there? Documentaries, drama serials, random old movies... Just browsed through the titles. Should make another trip to probably look at those again!
Come to think of it, a lot of movies have already been posted online for people to download and watch. Perhaps this section can be a museum for hard-copy original movies which were not that popular but contained some artistic values for appreciation. :)
There were mirrors and band rooms at this section as well. Perhaps any Singapore band would like to have a concert practice inside that room? It looks very nice! =D
-------------------------------------------------
At 2pm, I left the library for lunch. Took some random photos from my phone. Not of a good quality, but hey at least it can be seen! =P
A very big white tent, with some people chillin' under it~
The view from behind the Esplanade. The library is located on the 3rd floor. There is a rooftop garden, which I didn't visit. Should probably go there the next time. :)
Fountains, near Fullerton Hotel?
A view of the IR, hmm.
Ah, more buildings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of tourists were taking pictures with the sea and the Merlion? It should be the 1st time that I have walked in the CBD areas, so I sort of lost my way in there, until I saw the Lau Pat Sat @ Cross Street. That should be the name, if I have not forgotten.
Ate a plate of kuay teow and 2 'Dong Gu Mai' (mushroom dumplings). Surprisingly the food prices are the same or maybe even cheaper than some food courts in certain shopping centers! The average is around $2.50 - $3.50 for local specialities. The DGM is a bit expensive though, but the stew that went with it was great, so that sort of made up for the price difference. Not a lot of ppl at 2pm, probably all the office personnel have went back to work. :)
Intended to walk to the national library, but got lost along the way and ended up at Tanjong Pagar MRT station... *Mission Fail*
Oh, I tried the strawberry cheese Chewy cream puff in Bugis. That cream puff was indeed hard to chew! O_O
Went to the 7th floor and stoned a bit while reading a random applied physics (circuits) book. The scenery was much nicer to appreciate than the laws in the book, hmm. I think the air force were rehearsing for the upcoming NDP. I saw a guy jumping down straight, and suddenly he was rotating in circles and sort of dropped to the side at a very fast speed. The other guys went to this direction smoothly and did not rotate like him. Hoped that guy is ok and not doing that for a stunt~
Got irritated by 2 china girls whispering in a loud volume and proceeded to the 10th floor to visit the gallery. The gallery showed what happened during World War 2 in Singapore, along with plans, maps, and ranks that represent the British and the Japanese army. Rather interesting. There was also a list of soldiers who had died while fighting for the war. A few officers, and A LOT of Low-ranking soldiers. 1 minute of silence for them~
"Everything happens for a reason." - MS said this.
I played maple that night as Trecia asked why I had MIA for so long. There is a new cannon shooter job and there's a monkey playing along with this character. Rather cool! WL would like this a lot. =P
That's all for this anyhow trip. :D

the jellyfish is back!
Posting about 3 items / events / happenings / ??
1. Friday movie, The Avengers
2. Marsiling cc singing?
3. TP!
================================
1. Friday movie, The Avengers
Watched with WL, War and PH at Lot 1 during the evening. Apparently nobody was working on that day except for War, so waited for him to come and watched the movie, without eating a double down burger in the cinema. :)
Comments above the movie: . (100% copied from WL)
No la, i dont think it is a really 'die-also-must-watch' movie, although I would say it is a really nice and rather exciting film. Definitely nicer than Cabin In the Woods. =P
Reached home at around 11pm I think? I think we ate dinner at subway, while listening to PH and War spamming army things as usual~
--------------------------------------------
2. Marsiling Community Center Singing
I learnt that the CC at 300+ is Fuchun CC and not Marsiling. The journey to MCC was not exactly pleasant, considering the drizzle and the surprisingly huge number of harmless bugs in the fields. We reached 10 minutes late, and was apparently the last group to have reached there.
The place is surprisingly clean! There is food being offered there at a really reasonable price, seriously. Garlic bread, hot dogs, juices at less than $2? $10 per hour for a large room, sort of wasted for me, JM and Tean only. La la la, it dosen't matter.
The songs are a bit difficult to find though, I can't seem to find International Love inside? No Owl City songs? We 3 just anyhow sing and ate garlic bread which JM has kindly brought. Very delicious! ^^
Nothing really interesting. At 6pm, Tean left home for dinner while me and JM proceeded to 130 for dim sum and vege rice. Nothing special about the dinner too, except that the cats in Marsiling really liked to stalk people and followed us to a few blocks away... I didnt know cats love siew mai and prawn dumplings. :V
-------------------------------------------
3. TP!
Passing grade: Accumulation of no more than 20 demerit points with no immediate failure mistakes.
12 points!
4 - Delay in moving off (2x2 + 1 free)
4 - Fail to look out for traffic
2 - Incorrect braking
2 - Fail to check if car door kena closed properly. -_-
Yea, one of the most stupid things to get 2 points for, but I got it! (As if like achievement sia, haha)
Actually everything was rather smooth, esp the road part. The circuit was all right, except for the parallel parking, took about 3mins+ total to park and move out. -_-
Tester: "If you don't release your brake, then you can't move your car, then of course you cannot straighten your car! Aiyo..."
This is the modified test woodlands test route which I took. The road is surprisingly quiet, and for some reason the large vehicles / vans / trucks were staying behind me at a great distance. So any lane changing, turnings were very simple as there is no need to judge the rear vehicle's speed. ^^
Tester's comments: I keep on delay in moving off, the type who only moves when there is absolutely no cars on the road. Otherwise safe and proper, and oh must check whether the car doors are closed properly or not before driving.
Alamak!!! =D
That's about all for the very anyhow TP test. The next time I drive a car should be dunno how many years later, or will I even drive 1? =P
~ End ~

the jellyfish is back!
"Starships, were meant to fly! Even if the sky is falling down! Down, down~"
War: SMLJ!
WL: Sing SMLJ!
KY (Underfame): Suck my liquid juice!
This basically summarises the whole Orchard outing with WL, PH and War. No la, that was a random shouting by War, which was interestingly quoted by WL. =P
------------------------
Met up with War and PH in the morning and proceeded to Orchard Cineleisure to makan Ishi Mura buffet and watch 'Cabin In the Woods'. WL didnt turn up as I think he was still sleeping / taking care of this brother / doing other things. Surprisingly it was WL who suggested eating a japanese / sushi buffet, and the suggestor didnt turn up~ :V
The buffet is exactly the same as the one I went during the 1st guild outing, except that it is in a different place. Seems to be more cold than the one in Dhoby Gahut, and $3 cheaper compared to the dinner price. Sampled the egg sushi as usual while waiting for the cooked dishes to be served and listening to War talking about the ala-carte prices of the individual plates~ PH seemed to be enjoying his plate of baby octopus.
Normal plate: $1.48
White plate: $3.48
Red plate: $6.48
War: "As long as I can eat more than $20 I am ok already. So now 5 plates will be $7.50 already! Jeff how many plates you eat already?"
Me: "Er... I think 5 plates also bah. So same price lo."
PH: "Ha! You see my octopus is a red plate, then I ate 1 white plate of food, total $10 already!" ^^
I saw a plate of Mochi and decided to eat that as it was rather nice the last time I tried with WL. The taste is nice as usual, and while I was savouring the sweetness of green tea...
War: "Woah! This one is a white plate! 赚到！"
Warren you very cute leh!
War and PH talked about their army lives and about PH's new girl. Come to think of it, it was an extremely long time since we saw PH, apparently his shift is like 1 week on duty, 1 week off duty. Mine is work 2 duties, off 2 duties. War is Sunday book in, Friday book out. The chances of everybody meeting together with 3 different shifts is seriously very low. So just chat about life and nothing really interesting happened, until the cooked food came. =P
Oh, another thing different from the one in Dhoby Gahut is that all the food is served at once! The last time the dishes were served with a slight time delay. As PH described, the amount of food is rather 'intimidating'.
- Fried chicken karage
- Chicken Teriyaki sticks
- Softbone chicken sticks
- Pork belly sticks!!!!
- Potato karage
- Shitake sticks!!!
- Random cold dish
- Beef!!!
- Teriyaki Chicken chop
- Gyozas
Did I miss out anything else? Based on past experiences, I tried every single dish except for the cold dish and the pork belly sticks. =P
As usual, the mushrooms were nice, the fried chicken was all right. The potato karage was somehow like a fried mashed potato and is really delicious! Should have ordered more of that. The gyozas were crispy but rather tasteless? O_O
The beef, as PM Hazlina would describe, Happiness! The meat was solid, not difficult to chew off (unlike some like rubber), and the taste was really great! Out of the whole 1 big patty, I cleared about 70% of that.
The softbone chicken was not nice. Rather hard to chew and dry. I didnt know that was the softbone item and just ate the softbone together with the meat, until later when War started clearing that dish while commenting that the bone was not exactly soft, and then asked me where is the bone which I should have spitted out before.
Me: There was a bone!? o_O
PH dramatised the effect by spitting out the bone and it hit the plate with a solid 'clack clack' sound! The solidness of the soft bone was clearly defined!
Basically other than the shitakes and potato karage, the rest were all War's item orders. So i cleared all his items except for the softbone chicken and pork bellies (which added up to about 6 sticks). PH was laughing all the way. =P I had enough of the pork belly from the 1st guild outing and would not try that again. Who says experience isn't valuable, cheh, haha~
----------------
We ordered a few more cooked items and desserts as most of us felt rather full already. PH ordered a macha (green tea) ice-cream, a small dish of cut fruits and a plate of peas?
I ordered another dish of shitake, some cream puffs and eclairs.
War ordered a vanilla ice-cream and continued to struggle with his pork bellies.
The cream puffs and eclairs were awesome! I think the fillings inside was a small serving of vanilla ice-cream instead of cream in most puffs. Ordered another serving of the cream puffs~ Wanted to order another plate of eclairs too, but I scraped the idea as War couldnt finish his vanilla ice-cream.
After approx 30 seconds since I started eating the ice-cream...
War: "Please help me finish this ice-cream, slowly and you can do it!"
Me: "Finish already la!"
Should use that style to his pork bellies, that may act as a catalyst to finish the lot. Haha! The vanilla ice-cream was soft and had a unique taste compared to other vanilla ice-cream. Was it sweeter and had other flavourings inside? I tried 1 small mouth of Macha ice-cream from PH, will never try it again.
The last guild outing we didn't try the ice-cream. Current status: CLEAR!
War ended up stuffing his pork bellies inside the ice-cream cup. The waiter spilled some peach tea on the plate of chicken teriyaki sticks, thus we didnt complete that dish. That's about if for the wonderful lunch. Pity WL didnt come for the lunch. :/
==================================================
We still had slightly more than an hour, so we walked around Scape to watch people experimenting / perfecting their skills on basketball and skateboarding. Rather interesting~
3.10pm - M18 Cabin In The Woods!
Surprisingly the person didnt check on War's identity. War has grown up! (WL sure will like this)
This movie has won the place of 'The worst movie I have ever watched' in my opinion. I seriously don't get the story, the plot, the origin and of course the ending. How the heck did 5 people who wanted to go for a holiday be targeted for a ritual? The ending was a big great hand coming out and I have no idea did the main characters die in the end. The cabin machiam Hunger Games forest sia!
My rating . / 10
War's rating: ? / 10
PH's rating: Can negative?
I dont really recommend watching this movie. However if your curiosity is overwhelming, then pls go watch and most probably you will understand the movie to a greater extent. :)
==================================================
4.50pm
WL has arrived at Orchard, and also time for PH to leave for his date. WL lost his way through Orchard Road and ended up at Scape near a giant Pikachu~ I think most of our outings were in ulu areas like CCK & Jurong, thus coming to Orchard may be a different experience~ =P
Unlike RJ, he goes to Orchard / town area all the time. Lol random comment!
Orchard Road seems to be a slightly more high-class place compared to the suburban areas. People would wear nicer clothings, talk in a more proper way? So when War had a conversation with his army buddy, it would be hilarious when War suddenly shouted
SMLJ!? [Short for Si Mi Lan Jiao in hokkien. In english is it 'What Cock?']
WL somehow found this interesting and decided to quote War for the rest of the evening. Drank a bowl of Cheng Ting at Koufu, while listening to War and WL spamming SMLJ at each other for various reasons. After that, we went to Taka and had dinner at Breeks Cafe. Why Breeks? War wanted to clear his 'Free refillable pepsi card. (Which costs $2.50 per cup at Breeks)
I forgot what War ordered. WL ordered fish and chips while I ordered a peach / strawberry ice-cream. Nothing special about these 2.
The pepsi caused a lot of confusion, when they say free reillable pepsi, it dosent mean the pepsi is free, and it dosent mean the 1st cup is free. So only if you request for a 2nd cup, that 2nd cup would then be free. War only drank 2 cups, so thats not really worth it... The manager and waitresses were really polite, but they forgot to serve the ice water.
Self-service lo, the manager seemed very sorry, which actually I don't mind. Helping myself with ice-water is better than putting your hands in the air and waiting till eternity. :D
WL seemed to be rapping 'Starships' and 'What dosen't kill you makes you stronger' instead of singing. So when I disturb his "Starships, were meant to fly" with "Even if the sky is falling down!" [Down by Jay Sean], reaction: sing SMLJ!?
After dinner, we went to Taka and the underpass to Orchard for a walk, while singing random songs that could make War crazy. The candy shop was rather fascinating, selling loads of colours of M&Ms, different flavours of jellybeans, along with common merchandises that were made much more special with cartoon characters / candy characters. =D The price isnt attractive though.
Went into the Gramophone store and browsed through the decent number of CDs. I couldnt find BS2T CD for unknown reasons...
That's about it for the outing! I went to find my aunt to have chicken rice at Balestier in the night. (Forced myself to eat)
After a full dinner, KY asked me, eh wad does SMLJ mean? Is it 'Suck My Liquid Juice'?
Wakao! Go get rid of your liquid juice on yourself or a girl la, anyhow sia!! =X
================================
Singing off~ (That's very different from signing off, in case you misread, haha!)
