A mini review on Sushi Kikuzawa

I am finally able to go the place that i wanted to earlier. Me, luqi, jy ---click

gay: stop taking photos of me!!

went to this sushi outlet at International Building, orchard. It is supposedly to be one of the best places for sushi in Singapore that i can afford. Nevertheless, after some fuss we arrived at the place. ( I apologise for the poor quality of the pictures. You can refer to the one in the blog in the link above)


what a cute pufferfish!

We arrived about 30mins after 12, and the place wasn't too crowded. So far so good. Almost immediately after we sat down, we were offered a dish that looks to be the appetizer. It was some slices of seafood marinated in some sauce. Not very informative, but unfortunately i didn't take any pictures of it. It was quite delicious.

Next, a mix of taupok, chicken, gingko nut, and some radish in some broth was served to us by the chef. It was surprisingly refreshing and light.


At the same time, sashimi was served. It consists of about 3 slices of salmon, 2 slices of tuna, slices of squid and some unknown fish with wasabi.



Next up is the main nigiri sushis. At this point the shop was already fully filled. The time isn't even 1pm yet.







The one above is reared salmon(aburi). You can say that this is one of the nicest sushis in the shop





Seared unagi. Very nice.



chawanmushi. A break from the sushis. Nicer than other stores too.













This is basically about all that we have eaten. After this, luqi ordered onigiri (rice ball) and me and jy ordered more sushis and udon from the auntie there. After a long time, we didn't get all of what we ordered. Apprarently the chef forgot some of our orders. Nevermind. Dessert was pudding. And the puddings were very good also. I wonder how do they make the puddings that nice. Sadly we were informed that we could only get 2 puddings each. So greedy luqi got the last grape pudding. By now the store was almost empty save for us and another group of 4 people. After eating our full, we left, satisfied.

The trip was definitely worth it; it was by far the best sushi place that i have ever eaten that lies within my current budget. Confirmed and plus chop better than bullshit Sa*** Sushi. To add, there is a loyalty reward program that enables you to have a buffet at $10 regardless of the timing once you collected 6 stamps. ( each stamp for each buffet i think)

So who wants to go eat with me again ??

Megami Magazine Jan & Feb

Shana pencilboard that comes with the Jan issue




The thing underneath the pencilboard is some Nanoha booklet on the planning and description of the characters in StrikerS. Or something like that. I apologize for the murky quality of the pictures, but i can't do much about it.

Another trip to the otaku's heaven in sg

And yet again we venture ahead to a place filled with financial traps that are extremely deadly to individuals who have a strong desire to immerse themselves in the japanese sub-culture. My aim was just to get the updated magazines and seeseelooklook ( again my luck got the better of me: the magazines are coming on Sunday instead. great.) As again, we four gathered at sunshine plaza after much delay and fuss.



More pocky!

And me and lq got this:








And the quality sucks. :( Regretted the decision instantly.
Had dinner at mof. Not very good also. Shop around and went home. Nothing to say. The figurines just dampened whatever mood i have.

11 days to ORD!!!

Wishlist

And..



from otakopachi: Well, Goodsmile Company will be taking pre-orders. From what i see, only 5000 sets are available. And...The release date for all Lucky Star Nendoroid Set (Chara-ani, Comptiq & Lucky Channel Limited versions) will be delayed till the end of March, meaning we are able to make a pre-order now.


Wootz. But then again i do not have the cash to burn. zzzz.
12 Days to Ord!!!

Hell Vs 4Shit

Saw this joke on some blog my friend shown me. Tweaked the characters, but otherwise the flavour remains the same.






One politician, One thief & One 4Shit Soldier(shall call him Eagle) died & went straight to hell.

Politician said 'I miss my country. I want to call my country and see how everybody is doing there.' She called and talked for about 5 minutes, then she asked 'Well, devil how much do I need to pay for the call????The devil said 'Five million dollars'. The Politician wrote him a cheque and went to sit back on her chair.

Thief was so jealous, he started screaming, 'My turn! I wanna call my group members, I want to see how everybody is doing there too.' He called and talked for about 2 minutes, then he asked 'Well, devil, how much do I need to pay for the call???? The devil said 'Ten million dollars'. With a smug look on his face, he made a cheque and went to sit back on his chair.

Eagle was even more jealous & started screaming, 'I want to call my platoon mates, my PC and OC !!'. He called his friends and commanders and he talked for twenty hours about

horrendous natures of outfields
the endless saigang
more and more PT and SOC
the inability of the big fucks
crazy csms and their theories
how ORD is so far away

he talked & talked & talked, then he asked 'Well, devil how much do I need to pay for the call???? The devil said 'Twenty dollars'. Eagle was stunned & said 'Twenty dollars??? Only ??'

Devil says

Spoiler:

Calling from hell to hell is a local call..

2: Aftermath

(Perhaps this is too late, but i will just sum up what happened and what i feel about events post ATEC. An obligation to myself to end the saga.)

What Happened

1) Encik forces his rage upon Edison on his inability to take part in ATEC, and his "weak-mindedness", in regulation to his own theory.

2) More outfield. Yeah. 3 days and 2 nights to boot somemore. Sounds like a tour package with combat rations and the grass as our accommodations. Not.

3) We are the worst platoon. Definitely. Confirmed and proved. Evidence: the all high pseudo-fallout rate of 1/16. Notwithstanding the statistics from other platoons.

4) Threat of RT, or remedial training for the ill-informed. Which means friday night and saturday morning burned. Another tick to the ills of this hellhole.

Need i say more? Weird people have weird rules that he or she conforms to. That is all right. Even weirder people demand other people to agree to what he says. Of course i do not blame edison, just that i wonder why didn't he take status to rebutt the accusations of encik. That is just inviting trouble. Bleah. Because i'm not a Christian i will judge and not forgive you. ( i know this is getting cliche, but whatever.)

I do not wish to say more. Just let me pass my fucking 16 days in peace.

Part 1: Stairway to Disaster: Imminent & Inevitable

ATEC (or war as the higher ups call it) was a ticking time bomb with less than 10 seconds to spare and no one with the technological know-how to defuse it. The situation is grim, and no one care to do anything to improve it. Everyone knew that we are bound on a road to hell; not everyone want to face up to the truth. Why is this so? The fallacy of the capabilities of the Permanently Shitty Organisation.

The prospect of having to endure through a grueling 4 ~ 5 days of outfield isn't very promising; neither is the fact that we can't bring our personal communication devices. But more is yet to come. Lack of sleep is definitely a common problem that most of us face during the few days; i shall not talk much about it despite much bitching. Amidst the adversities that we face, one is very unnecessary. Absence of hygiene. Our sweat,blood,insectsss-infested piece of clothing rubbing against our skin constantly is an extreme physical and psychological torture. And while we hoped, desired, begged, longed for our clean pieces of clothing, the fact as we realised later is that they will never come. Or more appropriately, when they should. Darn the poor support given to us. And this confirmed the fact that everyone hate us, for other people got their deserved clean clothing while we can only LLST. Why? Because a certain someone lacks the resolve and some can say power to override orders for the sake of their own brethren. All these results in the red marks on my back. Thanks. I do not mind people doing less than what they should do( even if they themselves are not really doing much), as myself falls in that category unfortunately. But please be aware about other people while you are doing that and don't fuck others who are already suffering.

I do not care about the outcome of the "war", but surprisingly not only the part-timers have that mentality. Just look at the poor and immature planning. And also, sending our people into the reaches of our enemies is plain dumb. All these are not what i have seen or heard directly, but by judging from the fatalities, even an idiot would know that there is something wrong with the instructions given. And yet they expect results. You reap what you sow. No wonder we have to do a samura. What the empires say are true also: this is not PSLE or o levels; this is ATEC. Nowadays, even parents of kids taking PSLE racked up countless of cold hard cash onto tuition, books, whatever professional advice and stuff to ace their exams. But the Asses did next to naught to exemplify their commitment to the success of the "war". What an irony.

I do not blame the ABC's directly on their inabilities, for they are in the same predicament as us. The Serve and F-off policy is universal. What perplexed me is that they could use more and better training instead of playing soccer all day long or ironing their beds. Again, the multitasking nature of our battalion isn't helpful. They know we have not much time, and yet we still stick our nose into matters that has no benefits for us.

Still, it is finally over. But over with wounds indeed. Now who will shoulder the responsibilities? I have a premonition that the above said will not get their just deserts, while the innocent who gave their all, will also not get their desserts. We shall see.

Last minute talks doesn't solve ingrained grievances amicably

As the title suggests, hardships and complaints doesn't dissolve into nothingness in the snap of a finger. The timing of the talk doesn't really help; in fact it worsens our suspicions and we can't really believe the words coming of L's mouth. What he talked about confirms my worst fears: the evil is deep rooted in the organisation, and no amount of surveys, coachings, talks like this, will repair it. It must be solved from the root down, to the practices, mindsets, beliefs. In other words, it is a futile effort. It is rotten to the core. It must be purged out of existence. Reform. Anarchy follows.

Anyway, not discussing what he had said( blah blah blah breach bleah), i came to a conclusion. He is just paying lip service. Well, at least he did regard us as somewhat crucial in the upcoming test. Then again, he probably said the same thing to the rest of the people. I didn't really bother to listen to what he said after the initial 10 minutes or so. Its all bullcrap and i just want to serve and finish and get the hell out of the hellhole. Can't believe people actually still want to bother giving their 50% for this place which gives little benefits for their respective contributions. I can't really comment on this because i don't really care about these 18 months in the first place and gave next to nothing. People can say whatever they want, about giving your best and all, and owing this to the nation, unit, defending the love ones and stuff. As if the passing or failure of one thing matters that much to the nation. Ask the rest who are just slacking around and they will laugh it off.

Whatever. just let me break off from this burden now
Until then, see you tonight guys and brace yourselves for shit tomorrow.

Food food and more foood!

Came across a food blog. The japanese sushi restaurant looks great.

DO NOT CLICK IF HUNGRY!!

Another day in the life of yk

I decided to make an Edi entry today, which as some browsers of this blog might know, can be quite boring or interesting depending on the way you read it. Some might see daily life to be a bore, while others a new start of a story, adventure, journey, whatever. Not treading upon this dangerous path of discussing others, let's proceed on our wonderful journey to the west( in this case east is perhaps more appropriate)

Once upon a time, in the far far away sunshine island termed Singapore, a guy woke up.

*Enter Your Character Name -------------- yk
*Choose Your Gender ---------------------- M

He woke up, flip around and hears a sound.

*Background changes to lightning upon a field. Background changes back to normal

He realised it was actually the phone. Flipping it open nonchalantly, he saw what he feared: Attack on Beach at 2pm.

--------------------------------THE END-----------------------------------------------------

To cut the crap, i woke up, brush teeth, ( no breakfast), on com, watch something, talk cock, begged chee for stuff, and moved off to meet them at beach road. Agenda of the day: eat at golden mile, buy army shit, go sunshine plaza, buy anime shit, go home. Uncertainties arose. I decided to find lq at simlim since i am already damn late and have to pass by the place also. Instead, i saw baldy siow. After a ruckus of NETS and $$, me and lq left the party to join a new adventure at golden mile. We saw chee and derrick, aka DVF. Ate our pseudo lunch/dinner/tea/alien meal. The char kway teow was quite nice, with a lot of vege and ikan ibilis. Collected the uniforms, met with randeep. Eat more. Waffles for the win. Belgian one somemore. Talk cock, sing song, minus the mahjong later, the 3 otakus + me went to sunshine plaza. For the ill informed, it is supposed to be the haven for anime goods. Yeah supposed.

After for like ages, we arrived through the torrent rain. Went KKnM. Saw magazines which we all wanted but no one wants to buy. After repeated entrances and exits and conversations, we finally came to the main point of the trip. To pre-order figurines. In the end, the one who initiated to ask for the pre-order information ended up not pre-ordering during to popular request and the ones who slack around preordered. Damn you. Chee bought magazine. I regretted not getting it. I want the posters very badly, chee. Give me as an ORD present please.
Arigatou!

Pictures Ahead~ ( Which have no connections to the magazine and figurines)









i want pocky sticks now!!



We decided to march on to Kino @ Orchard for more indulgence in japanese sub-culture. A group of 4 guys with one carrying a gigantic red plastic bag march into kino in search of more magazines and manga. Indeed this is not a wasted trip. We linger around the magazine area and found this:



We want this. But the price tag proved to be too hefty for the lack of information about this magazine. (A legendary girl A *** absolutely * book * GET **** is very ambiguous) The only information is Konata. But that was more than enough to pique our interests. Again, it cost 25 bucks and no one wants to handle the risk. In the end, no one bought and once again we took to loitering in the store in search of new surprises. Found a lot of japanese light novels. I again sighed at the lack of ability to read japanese. Imagine if i can do that. I would have followed kagamin-sama and get loads of novels to read. Well, at least i can still read the chinese translated ones if i really want to. Damn, the mandarin novels doesn't look half as good as the original ones. At least the illustration inside looks bigger and nice. I wonder why don't they release the translated ones in the same size as the original japanese ones. They are much more compact and easier on the hands. In the end, dvf bought newtype, and we left for dinner. And we head home. And here i am.

To end today's contribution, i present you with.....





Durian! 4SHIT!

Birth

Yay for first post.

I did not know what came into my mind that prompted me to make this blog. Boredom? Perhaps. Influence? Maybe. Some bits of both and some other factors most likely. Anyway, you do what your heart tells you to do. So i am here typing to fill up space in my otherwise empty space i call my own in the virtual dimension.

I do not have bombastic vocabulary like some other people have. Nor grammar. Not that i care. But still, forgive me for any errors and wrong usage of words and update me if my words scorched your eyes and you have an irresistible urge to correct me and show me to your way of perrfect Queen's English. In other words, please refrain from doing the above. I am what i am. Like i am who i am. You can, but it will probably have little to no effect on me.

Feel free to spam anything in the tag. Including words like u***, die stupid hentaiboy ch3e. Censorship is present, though i doubt i will do much except for really, really evil stuff that sane humans won't say in the presence of a mighty being. Or a disciple of. Or blind followers. Whatchamalacallit you wish.

Hopefully this blog will stay for long and not die off due to lack of care and concern, or time or interest. Simply because blogs are indeed a good place to bitch off all your steam and anger( that is what i think about blogs anyway). So i will explode if i don't.

Ending off, have a nice day! :)
