Wishing on the same star

Wishing on the same star

I love this song by Namie Amuro. Not everyone is a jpop lover like me but i just like to share it here.



Thanks to the induced rain, our ECP outing was almost cancelled. They were like on the verge of cancelling the outing and i dont noe wat to do also. I was like revising and stopping, very hesitant about studying haha cuz i dont noe when they will "summon" me for the outing since it was still on pending. Finally confirmed at 12.30pm. I had 1.5hrs to reach Bedok from Jurong East. As usual i was late lor haha, i cant believe tat i am always late for outings haha. I was stunned by CK's "blue" attire haha. The gang also said tat i dont look like if i was going for a cycle cuz of the way i dress. I got to look good at all time no matter what haha. Anyway the gang was like in full sports gear mood and i was like in full shopping gear mood lol. Went Orchard anyway so i didnt lose out on my attire there haha.

The sky was blue and the ground doesnt looked like if there was a heavy downpour in the morning. Cycled all the way from 3 till about 5 plus and my legs are so sore now. It was a good workout though the sea breeze was blowing on my face, so comfortable and at the same time causing wind resistance to me when i was cycling. Damn the wind resistance lah no wonder i had to cycle so hard. Went to accompany Youmei to UDMC cuz her family was eating there. It was quite easy to spot her family cuz she got a lot of sisters. And her sister ask her: "why your friends all guys one?" Lol, cant blame us lah cuz Angelina, Wee Wee and Rachel dont want to come haha. Poor Youmei. Anyway i was so hungry from cycling that i suggested we go eat Sakura International Buffet at Orchard lol. The gang agreed, i will take back wat i said after i reach there. Pop into a taxi to go Orchard cuz everyone was so shag from cycling and lazy to take the MRT. We each paid about $3 bah, so so only. Had to draw extra money out cuz i didnt expect myself to spend tat much today, really didnt expect THAT MUCH lol.

It is a good thing tat CK reserved a seat at Sakura first cuz it was packed when we reach there. Each person got to pay $30 leh! SO EXPENSIVE ROAR! Kinda wanted to take back wat i said earlier lol. Itchy mouth lah say wat Sakura Buffet lah, a meteoroid just hit my pocket ah ARGH! I dont care since i pay so much i will eat EVERYTHING THERE to make up for my loss. We kinda strategise our "buffet attack tactic" and we went for the "all for himself" formation haha. Meaning we each take watever we like to eat and eat at our own rate. A few rules to note when eating buffets, if u want to make your trip there worthy.

-dont drink too much water
-leave the desserts to the LAST MEAL
-dont eat too much starchy food like rice or sushi
-dont eat too much meat and fried food
-dont eat too fast
-walk around more often and take small portions at a time
-go to the toilet more often haha
-try not to repeat the same food for more then 2 times
-go with an empty stomach, and i really mean EMPTY
-drink more soup, it really calms the stomach
-talk more than you eat, aids in digestion lol
-go with more than 4 people, make it a big crowd if possible
-eat more fruits

We just strategise and discuss every food we take. For example, i said that the steam fish is better than the fried one and you wont feel so full after eating. Combine ice-cream with drinks to form a float instead of eating them seperately. One tiny piece of cheese cake is proportional to one serving on a plate, freaking filling lor. Drinking soup beats drinking coke or watever soft drink and less filling too, can eat more haha. Dont be tempted to eat too much sushi haha cuz the rice can be quite filling. And the lobster fruit salad had almost 99.9% fruits lor haha, where is the lobster i cant see leh. Overall i ate about 7-8 servings. When i came back from the toilet, Mark, YC and ZJ were like "dead" already from the battle. They were like so full and i was like WHAT THE HELL GUYS! $30 leh must eat more ah! At least i didnt go down with them haha i just hunt the food, though i noe tat i was going to fall at anytime haha. The 8th plate was my max haha. One thing to note: it might be true tat the amount you eat is proportion to your size, but for me and CK just we eat at an inverse proportional rate haha. I wonder if i can gain 1 or 2kg today haha.

Went to walk around at Heeran after the meal cuz we haven been to Orchard for quite long already. Went to listen to music at HMV haha i just love going there. I am really in love with the new album by Namie Amuro call Best Fiction. I did quite a bit of "research" there haha so i will be doing my "homework" when i reach home haha. You get wat i mean haha. After tat Mark, ZJ and I just take bus 502 back home. We looped at the Orchard district for about 30 minutes before exiting out haha and we get to hear the F1 race car running around the track. Traffic was so jam and the sound of the engine was so loud haha. Woo hoo the atmosphere there was really hot, even if u dont have any interest in F1 you will be soaked into the atmosphere there. Really cool haha but too bad i cant afford the money to watch F1.

Waiting for YC to upload the photos we took at ECP, will post them up soon.

And i wish upon the star now. Because this is my star, my constellation. Every year at this time, till now and then.
