HNY Buffet!

I cannot believe i keep forgetting to blog about this important matter :O sheesh...my age must be catching up with me. haha.


New Year's Day Buffet at Pariss International Seafood Buffet Restaurant =)
Marina Square 4th Floor
Whee! =D Went for buffet on new year's day and it was so nice i kept forgetting to blog about it! lol. guess that doesn't make sense does it? hah. nvm, at least i got around to doing it.

Woah. the buffet spread there was incredible! And the service was not bad too =P Besides the normal buffet tables, there was also order counters where you could order piping, hot dishes straight from the chef's wok. Need i elaborate on the dessert and fruits counter? Cakes and puddings galore, woohoo! =D and there was lotsa ice-cream as well.

Being a seafood buffet, there were many seafood items. Yumyum! there were fresh mussels, oysters, scallops, crabs either raw or cooked in various styles. Also had shark's fin (the real kind) and abalone! whee~ chao yumyum! =) Then there was a japanese section with sushi and sashimi and lotsa wasabi =P

At each table there were these small containers of clips that you used to order food. Like at every hot food order counter place, there were these bowls that you dumped the clips in and the chefs would cook the food and then the waiters/waitresses would send it over. haha. great for lazy and clumsy ppl like me who always spill stuff. =D

I totally pigged out there lah! Was there for like 3+ hours. lol =) Sat there and ate and ate and ate and ate. Until become like Winny the Pooh liddat :X anywhere =P

First Training of the Year

Ok... i am so totally screwed for squash this year. >.<>late April?! Freak it all to timbaktoo i say... haiz... Training today was awful.. fine, not that horrid but still badd. It stank like rotten eggs to be exact, and i'm not referring to how we smell after exercise, or how people claim the squash courts in school smell...>< accomplish =")"><>is odd-shaped...kinda like a disfigured papaya-thingy i think. lol reason being there's a manhole or drain cover or sth that we cannot cover, hence odd-shaped track ^^; ok im going off track here.

The main point is that i died, in the first training of the year, after a two-month long absence. *fullstop*

Feeling depressed 'coz i'm still stuck doing my scrapbook and although it seems almost done, things keep cropping up on the way. haiz. Theme of the scrapbook is taiwan trip lah. duh. -.- only other place i went in the hols was KL and that was only for what? 3 days 2 nights... nothing to comment on that. I cannot believe I only completed 3-5 pages today!! >.<
