finally its my turn to say
THE EXAMS ARE OVER!
woohoo!
but of course, the results will soon follow but thats another episode for another time.
for now, i just want to focus on my so-called freedom and enjoy myself!

and enjoy myself i sure did yesterday at vivocity.
met up with my SPG (student peer group, not sarong party girl) for a "end-of-the-exams-celebration".
ok the celebration for mainly for amanda, benny and myself since jim already finished his exams last week (not fair!) and baoshun doesnt have exams. hurhur.

anyway, amanda and i gave in to our japanese food cravings and headed for sushi tei.
the food, despite being rather pricey, was rather good.
we ordered salmon maki, salmon in some mushroom cream sauce, salmon tofu (lots of salmon today huh), cha soba (my fav!), a dragon roll and teriyaki unagi.
the cha soba was the best, at least for me.
the texture of the noodle was just nice and it was, as it were, done al dente. the dipping sauce was also salty enough.

one problem i had with that place was the service.
initially our salmon tofu arrived and unfortunately, our first excited bite produced cringes on our faces.
it was cold, hard and definitely not tasty much less edible.
so we passed it back to the waitress asking her to check if the dish was supposed to be cold.
along the way, she showed it to another waitress who turned to our table and gave us a nasty look. she obviously thought we wouldnt notice it.
later when she arrived with the new plate, she simply plopped it down on the table with a pissed off expression and walked away.
i would have at least expected an apology and an explanation for the previous cold plate.
tsk tsk tsk.
i dont think i was expecting too much.
especially since sushi tei isnt exactly a cheap restaurant.

after dinner, we decided our sweet tooth(s) needed some attention and we proceeded to TCC as suggested by Benny.
well, given that vivocity is such a humongous place with a messy layout, we walked on and on and on and could not find TCC.
haha.
i wonder if there is TCC in the first place!
we finally gave up when we couldnt find TCC on the map and saw coffee bean.

coffee bean was hilarious.
to cut a long story short, firstly jim blew out the birthday candles on the cake intended for ME, put his foot over the three slices of cake, and amanda almost put the piece of cake that dropped on her toe onto the other cakes on the plate.
ok it doesnt sound all that funny here but it was hilarious.
absolutely hilarious.
thanks guys, it was an awesome birthday celebration!
(:
