So December's coming to a close, and school's starting again on Monday. Oh well, the hols feel rushed to me, been busy going out to eat, meet people, do projects etc etc.

On Xmas day, I went out with Jaslin and sanctuary members like Runex, Denver to Yaki n Yuki for their buffet lunch @ 12pm. Twas a long queue when we arrived, and in the midst of our lunch there was a blackout (yesh, lights out) for about 10 mins or so before the staff restored the power. For some unfathomable reason, the cooker? stove? thingy at our table refused to work properly .. soup base wouldn't boil, gah. But the food was cooked so its ok I think. Mostly enjoyed it, and I think for the next outing we're going to a pub to count down to New Year. Yesterday, I went back to Dr Chen @ Glenagles, four months after my op. After doing an ultrasound for me, he said my uterus seemed fine, and to see him again in 6 months, like whoa. Then, my mum and sis came to meet me from their shopping, and we proceeded to CentrePoint's Eastern Restaurant (tucked away at the basement opposite Parkway Thai) for dinner.

We got the xiao long bao (highly recommended, wins Crystal Jade's), the soup just steams and the meat's juicy n tender; and then my favourite dumpling stuffed with glutinous rice, I don't know what it's called but OMG I love it, one basket is definitely not enough. Then we got Shanghai Noodle Soup with Pork Ribs, I still enjoy this the second time round ^^ There was Double Boiled Chicken Soup, which I thought was a tad too salty but it had a nice aroma; Crab meat Soup Dumpling and Eastern Yi Ping Steamed Dumpling. Honestly, I can't taste any difference in the dumplings =x and we got an extra xiao long bao hehe cos the waitress who took the previous 2 baskets away didn't see another waitress giving us the extra :p For dessert, we had Rice Puff with Red Bean Paste, I recommend this too, it's lovely. This time round however, we didn't get the Shanghai tang yuan with rice wine .. bit bitter. Spent about $70 for the 3 of us, will definitely want to go a third time.

GE wise, my male wizard finally hit expert, now my Bern is left with 1% to expert. And for those still in the Xmas mood, check out this video by our famous GE producer Tokoyoshi:



And that's about all for updates. Ta~
