I got owned by Sg aunty...

And there I thought that the Glaswegian's English was difficult to hear...

Today at the Sg National Library's Cafe, I was buying my usual (iced) cafe latte and the epic convo begin:

Aunty Cashier (AC): eatinginortakeaway? [all in a breath + odd accent]
Me: ??? [eyes went big and give her the 'je ne sais pas' look]

AC: eatinginortakeaway?
Me: pardon?

AC: EATINGINORTAKEAWAY??
Me: huh...OOOHHH eating IN or take AWAY? ... eating in...please..
AC: *grumbling in some Hokkien slang which probably implied "dumb effing moron"

She gave me a tulan face too...

hahaha.. thumbs up for great customer service...


花まき (hana maki). Yummmmmm...
鰻かばやき (unagi kabayaki)、eggplant and tofu with miso sauce... yummmm
ぎょざ (gyoza). This is definitely one of my favorite gyoza in Malaysia..
えびテンプラ (ebi tempura)。And lastly, my craving for ebi tempura is finally fulfilled!! I love Kikuzakura in MV. The 老伴娘 is so friendly~

The National Library here has a very nice view =)

Lub Dub~~

Today was a glorious day. My 1st cardiac thoracic surgery observation. It was valve replacement for a severe infective endocarditis. The moment I saw the open chest with a large beating heart in front of me, I was so grateful that my heart is normal. As many would have known by now that surgery was never my thing. Last night, I even thought that I am going to dread the surgery session as I know peanuts about the case and procedures.

However, the moment I saw the beating heart stopped as it was being connect to the heart lung machine and from a still heart back to a beating heart, I realized how surreal the operation was. At the moment, I truly felt that surgeons are being God at that moment (no wonder they are paid so ungodly!). And the anesthesiologist is like the King of the floor. Every little thing goes through him. 'Fluid! Heparin! O2! Go get your coffee break now!' So peeps, don't piss your anesthesiologist!!!





This is my homemade tempura set. I had severe craving for Japanese tempura after 1 month being here. So I decided to made my own.. as I knew that the ones here are most likely to be expensive rubbish. It was aubergine, mushroom and prawn tempura. I had to use the Korean batter as they dont have the japanese one.... and...no tempura sauce too...so I used honey mustard sauce.
でもトテモうれしいです〜

EBI TEMPUURRAAA!!

ARGGHHHH... a month has passed since I last had proper japanese food! I am dying for a ebi tempura now!! I am contemplating of getting a deep fryer..

Did ballroom 101 this week! It was amazingly fun!! Very crowded but I at least my posture was correct~ probably due to my years of yoga =)

but I still want my ebi tempura T____T



This is one of the best lamb I have ever eaten to date... It was from a place called Max's place.. very nice!! yummmmm
