Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant

Had relatives' lunch gathering at the restaurant on Sunday. What a major TOTAL disappointment for every one of us, twelve of us to be exact. Our virgin time there proved to be our final time too.

We should have heed the ratings and reviews on HungryGoWhere.com. It is bad, utterly bad. With less than 50% positive ratings and reviews. We wanna play nice and gave them a chance to prove us wrong, in which they failed to do so.

The table which we sat at. Initial impression was that it was really cramped, especially at my side, which is faced against the wall. Should I need to use the washroom, at least four people have to move aside. Oh gawd. Why got such poor table layouts? >:(

The view from the room behind us. Not from our table definitely. We thought that despite the bad reviews online, we will just take it with a pinch of salt and perhaps enjoy the 'beautiful' scenery, or so that's what my aunt thought.

Okay, so their way of pouring the water into the cup with tea leaves already present was quite 'unique' in some sense hur? Haha. But my all relatives of my parents' generation were complaining about it. WHY? Because the water wasn't HOT at all. Which makes the tea less enjoyable and the aroma of the tea can hardly even be tasted. Gosh.

Okay, pictures of some dishes. Could not be bothered to take all the dishes, probably because I am suffering from one of the dishes, it was so awful I nearly died.

Okay, here are some my comments. Firstly, the xiaolongbao I felt was average only, I would prefer Din Tai Feng's version any time. The rest of the dishes were soso. Not that they're exceptionally good that I actually remembered. But the one at the bottom right, that one was the ultimate bad to my liking. It's supposed to be some sort of dish with fish. It was spicy, weird kind. Then I took a slice of the fish and ate it. While chewing, I chewed upon something, it was HORRIBLE. I had no idea what was that! It seemed like a chili seed but much much worse. It's like wasabi mixed with all sorts of things. So disgusting that I drank lots of water and only took one mouthful. :/

Sigh, the dirty tables and plates after countless dishes and no effort was made to change our plates.

:( :( :(

This is the first time I have experienced such bad service at a restaurant. I've sent them a feedback, well hope they will make some improvements. Click to read about it.

The End of School

Well well, done with my last exam just a week ago. I have unofficially graduated from SMU! 

Okay, this basically sums up the feeling of what 'exams are over' means. And also traveling!

Everything felt so surreal. Suddenly, having 'nothing' to do for school. To think that a year ago, we were all busy chionging FYP. 

As my room was a 'little' messy due to studying for exams and I had no time to properly organise my stuffs, decided to do so after exams :p 

Also, cleared some forgotten old toys from my childhood from a hidden compartment. And ohmygosh, I really have tonnes of old stuffs hahahaha. Guess all the while I didn't bother to throw them away cos felt that it was a waste and that those stuffs somehow reminded us of our childhood, the toys that we used to play with. Since I have space at home, I'm just to lazy to throw them. Hahaha. Nostalgic! 

But before I throw away some of the toys, decided to snap some pictures :D For memory sake and also to show the future generations these are the toys that we 90s kids have played with, not just some iPad games >_<

Okay, this is the Pokemon Centre, there's supposed to be some small figurines but not sure where is it already. :x I used to be a fan of Pokemon, hahaha. I swear at that tender age, I could remember the first breed of Pokemon, 152 of them! After a while, more and more monsters were added and I couldn't bothered. :p 

Polly Pocket! My first ever 'house' that I've gotten. Kept it for so many years because it's from my Dad when I was in the hospital. Memoriessss. He bought it to cheer me up I guess. :,(

Okay, these two are the big toys hahaha. I used to have a train kit, where you can build the tracks and the train will run on them through batteries. And I used to have lots of small cars too. So boyish of me. But those were threw/given away long time ago!

The rest of them aren't exactly toys but games. Hahaha, I realised that I'm a huge fan of board games or whatever in the past. I have alot of them because last time, I would have many relatives visiting my Grandma and she had lots of great grandkids! Ever since she left us, they don't visit anymore. :/ Prolly cos my Dad is considered the youngest in the family tree, oh well.

Next, believe it or not, I actually have some word games :p

Didn't really play the word games often haha. Some were actually gifts. I think I just really like to collect games when I was young. Don't judge! Last time no iPad games okay! >:(

Truth or Dare? Jenga style! In the end, I will just end up playing it as the UNO Stacko instead. :p

Some UNO card game? I know they have alot of variations right. I think for this, there's a button in the middle (the UNO button), which will keep beeping or something. Like you have no idea when is it gonna explode? Hahaha. If I didn't remember wrongly, every time you finished your turn, you're supposed to slam the button. LOL, if it explodes then you gotta draw more cards? Can't really recall the rules, been ages ago. Think the game is called UNO Slam. :O

Oh dear, such a fan of Board Games. ヅヅ Missed those times where my 4th Aunt would usually drop by my house and we would play together. Maybe I might keep/give away some, in case should some kids come over next time. But the thing is, since young, I usually hate it if people touches my stuffs or the tiny pieces of the board game go missing if I let someone play with it. >_<""

Errmmmmm. My cooking set? Hahaha. So cute right. Got hamburgers, patty, cheese, wok, hotdogs etc.

I used to imagine how great a cook I am, but too bad that's not the case now. :P

My figurines hahaha. Didn't know I still had it stuffed away in a tied up bag. It's like discovering some old hidden treasures of your old self. How I love Pokemon in the past. :x

A Jay Chou fanatic since young. :x I remembered vividly I used to pre-order his upcoming albums, as I would get free freebies! Such as posters/calendars etc. Then, upon the 1st day or so of the release, I would rushed down to the cd store which I pre-ordered from to collect it and I would so elated. Oh gosh, those cd days. :,)

My Hello Kitties! These were from the MacDonald's Hello Kitty Craze many years back. I'm not a fan of Hello Kitty. But I remembered my neighbours/relatives went to actually queue and shun bian got one for me too. Hahaha. Those were the days where people were much kinder and help one another.

The last picture of the day! Coloured sticks! We used to play this when we were young in the 90s. ;) 

Memoriessssss. Back then when we were so young and carefree~

So, what are some of your childhood hobbies? :)

Zombie Dad's Love for His Daughter

Awesome short film about what happens during a Zombie apocalypse. ;) 

Last Moments of School

Today is the last week of school for me, except for one upcoming presentation next Monday. Seeing all the posts about graduating peeps regarding their last lessons certainly reminds me that time indeed passed by fast. It has been nearly four years in SMU and soon, I am about to leave this phase of life behind where I have gotten used to, to embark on another new phase in life.

Goodbye School!

A piece of good news, I am officially employed! :) Signed the contract on Monday, and while I was on the way home, in the bus, I received a surprised phone call from E&Y. -___-

Too bad, E&Y took a long time to get back to me, which I eventually gave up on them. Hahaha. I was told they would get back to me within a month, but they took double of it. Oh well.

Moral of the story: Do not make your job applicants wait too long. :P
