Went Karaoke With Birthday Girl

It was Cheryl's birthday yesterday. To celebrate her birthday, close friends and a some classmates gathered up together for karaoke at The Garden's Mall. The entrance session starts at 1pm but we arrived early at 12pm. To waste some time we all went to the closest McDonald's fast food chain downstairs in the mall. Take a look at the photos below how Sam enjoyed his Sundae cone.

Adapted from the Oreo's cookies TV commercial, we stabbed french fries on top of the ice-cream just like how the kid dunked those cookies in milk on TV. Creative eh?

Look how he enjoyed eating it... OMG... Okay! honestly, it actually doesn't taste bad at all. I even tried it before... LOL

And so we all went all the way upstairs back for the karaoke. Without blabbering much describing what happened during the karaoke, here comes the photos with a few captions below. I somewhat agree that "A picture is worth a thousand words"... LOL

Selecting songs
Birthday girl singing...

How do/did you celebrate your friend's birthday?

P/S : I censor out the dates because I set them wrongly... I'm so sorry!!!

Final Examinations...


Final examinations have started this evening at 2pm in auditorium hall with Writing for Business to be the very first paper to sit in. For this subject, students were given 2 hours to answer all the questions provided. There were 4 sections in this paper where students are required to write two different essays (memo and formal letter) at the 3rd and 4th Section.

Overall, I would rate the paper moderately hard that I couldn't even finish the final question... That proves Silly Joey is a careless little boy most of the time during examinations... And that carelessness has sometimes cause him losing some precious marks...

A funny miracle happened due to the shortage of time and the exhaustion of writing while sitting for the exam. Silly Joey used his RIGHT hand that is famous for sketching outline pictures to write just like what he did during Sociology lectures. It was kinda shocking that the hand actually worked well for jolting fast (but ugly handwriting... LOL). Too bad the index finger bled as I overused my strength to grip the pen to write...

Joined Ozee, Yoke Fung and Poh2 to S.F. Cafe at JO Mall near our school after examination for tea and chit-chatting. But instead of tea, we ordered cakes as well for desserts... LOL... I have to be honest telling you that the cakes are quite delicious but fattening (except mine because I had Lemon Yogurt Cheese Cake with green tea). I browsed their menus and surprisingly I found Pad Thai, my favorite... but the price gave me a deep disappointment just because it is too expensive for just a plate of simple Pad Thai.

Wednesday will be a hectic day for me as I'll be sitting Web Page Design, the subject that I hate most!!! I'm wondering how to cope with this subject...

Disappointing Food At BBQ Chicken


It was 12:34pm when me, Chelsea, Ben, Yoke Fung and M.Y. hung out for lunch at nearby BBQ Chicken after school. The true reason for hanging out for lunch with them is because today is our final day for studying the second semester at school before final exams after Chinese New Year. Another reason of eating there was because of a recommendation of a friend who had then given me a $5 discount voucher. A significant quote as a claim, "Korea's No. 1 Chicken Restaurant" was found printed on the voucher when I read it.

Of course, there's always a small discount to be given to us, as students, when eating out around our school area. Well, you can say that hanging out for lunch there was great... until disasters happened...

All of us arrived there by taking a short walk from school. As we entered the restaurant, we saw a sign "15% Discounts for Students. Bring Your Student ID along and You May Enjoy The Privilleges" posted on the glass door. What we could see there were just a few customers eating at two tables so we entered. We were then being seated and given menus by a waitress. The very first thing which made me felt so friggin pissed in the restaurant was the waitress herself because she just left without telling us anything about recommendations after giving us menus. So we had to searched the menus for about 15 minutes ourselves before ordering.

After that we called that waitress back for ordering our lunches. The three of us, M.Y, Yoke Fung and me ordered the promotional set meals of the month on a piece of leaflet enclosed in the menus called Set C, a combination of hot and spicy chicken (a.k.a. Hot Hot Chicken) with Fiesta Rice, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw as Ben ordered Set A, Charbroiled Chicken with Fiesta Rice, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw. Chelsea ordered Set D, which includes Fried Chicken with Mashed Potato, 2 Chicken Nuggets, Soup and Coleslaw, for herself.

Since all set meals are being included with soft drinks, I asked the waitress what were the varieties to be chosen. But the waitress just said with an angry look, "Oh, only Pepsi and Strawberry."
What the hell is wrong with her talking to us with such a tone?

Oh well, we all thought that she might be having somekind of stress so we just kept quiet about that. Since there were only two options, all four of my friends ordered Pepsi so I chose Strawberry. After that, she just jolted down our orders with such a facial expression and left without telling us anything about the serving time.

While waiting for the food to be served, I took some time observing the interiors of the restaurant myself. I liked the walls as they were painted in red but there's a really big yet annoying abstract portrait of a creepy old man painting outdoors hanging on a wall near the entrance. I can even say it is the most "un-Korean" restaurant interiors I've ever seen so far. I even wonder how that restaurant can gain the quote to claim as "Korea's No.1"...

The food was then served on our tables by a waiter... wait a second! Did I just said "Waiter"? Yes, indeed, the waitress had just disappeared in the dimension of nowhere and at least he served our food with a smile. That was okay, until the we tried our food...

I started off my meal with the soup. It was sweet corn cream soup. Chelsea doesn't like corns so she just took a few tablespoonful into her mouth forcefully... After finishing the soup, I moved on to the Fiesta Rice. It tasted really good but what had actually made me shocked was the portion of the rice itself. There was just a small cup of rice on the big white place. How disappointful!

The next would be the nuggets. Gosh! They were not crispy at all but soggy... To finish it forcefully, I poke it with my fork and dip at the remaining Corn Soup then pop them into my mouth. Chelsea asked Ben if they taste good. So Ben just exclaimed "SOOOO GOOD" with funny facial expressions that everyone on the table smirked at him.

I finally tried the "Hot Hot Chicken". Well, the chicken was fine but the sauce had reached the off-limits. The spiciness was overwhelming that it felt like smokes coming out of my ears. Besides, the sauce tasted like a blend of Thai chili sauce with Kimchi sauce but with very light flavors. Therefore, too spicy but light flavors are not a balanced combination.

Finished the food forcefully and paid our bill. We thought the disasters were over but there was one more... The discounts! Where did all our discounts go? We quickly rushed to the payment counter and asked for explainations. All we could get was the lame excuse of "Promotional Sets are already in discounts. So no more discounts for students". M.Y. was so frustated and scolded the cashier that the staff should have told us earlier.

In conclusion, we promised ourselves not to eat there again. It's a scam for students! And it's our fault for falling into that trap... (*sigh~)

Hangout for Lunch/Midterm Examinations End...

It was the very 1st time at 1pm when Steven, Yoke Fung, Chelsea, Ernst, Sam & I went out for a hangout at JO Mall nearby our school with Steven's cute little car yesterday. When we arrived, we planned what would good for lunch. At 1st, we all agreed to go Wendy's for lunch but unfortunately, the restaurant had only limited spaces to fit everyone of us. So we went up to search for any restaurants as an alternative. I saw a beer bar beside and there was a notice of Job Vaccancy. I've always wanted to try working as a bartender but I haven't got much time, unfortunately. After that we found Brisik's Cafe, an Indonesian cuisine restaurant.



At the cafe, we've found that the interior design is cool. I would rate it above average. There, you can find some fancy chesterfields with some cushions of variety sizes, shapes and motives. On the tables that are not yet being seated with customers, you can see that colorful napkins are neatly folded and placed onto the plates, just like the ones in any gourmet restaurants.

We were then be seated at a table which is big enough to fit all of us. The waiter came over and it was very nice of him to pour iced water for free into martini glasses on the table before taking our orders. Everyone ordered what they wanted to have for lunch. For me, I ordered buttered rice and green curry beef then a pineapple-orange juice. The green curry was scrumptious and spicy enough that it went well with the buttered rice. Surprisingly, I found the green chili paste delicious that I finished the whole sauceplate along with my food. The beverage, however, I'd just rate it average because the flavors are not balanced that I couldn't taste any pineapple in it.

After finishing our food. The owner of the restaurant came and provided us a free glass of iced coffee with 6 straws, everyone of us sipped the drinked together. It was such a wonderful moment for us. We finally pay our bills and decided to go Starbucks as our next hangout spot.

Hanging out at Starbucks somehow reminded me of my friends who used to study Advanced English at the British Council because of the coffee fragrant inside. Six of us did our last minute studies for Web Page Design until 4pm. Jazz bumped into us and requested Steven for a ride back to school. After returning to school, everyone rushed into the examination hall and faced the final examination for mid term. It was such a wonderful day that I won't forget it till the end of my time...
