And the Mental Torture Continues...

uni has gone by for some 2 weeks already. so caught up in the hype of it all, i kind of forgot to come back here and update. so in a very brief summary:

  1. des has joined monash engineering for the mechatronic side
  2. i passed all my subjects last sem (woooot to me!!!) so finishing off my 2nd year subjects :P
  3. i have just sat for my first quiz... (and i wasn't prepared for it!!!! :( i hope i didn't do that bad)
  4. dear dear and i have had our 2nd anni lo!!! (and this i may ramble about cos it's worth rambling about!!! nyeh nyeh!)
  5. my newly formatted laptop has been attack by... VIRUSES!!! (just got rid of them... stupid viruses... curse the fucking assholes who were so free...)
  6. just read finish the first two chapters of "Song of the Dodo" (about island biodiversity... very interesting...)
As you can see, within a couple of weeks, we're back in uni. we're hitting the books again and the guys have projects to build, i have essays and research to do... this sem i really have to be a proper nerd... (yeah, i know i promised myself that last sem, but it ain't easy to be a nerd, k!!!)

well, as you can see at point no. 3, i so elegantly hinted that i have just crossed the 2 year line of my relationship!!! hahah! it's been a hard, and sometimes trying 2 years, but worth it. in these 2 years, i dare say that nearly 85% of the time, we're blissful. but the times we fight... not worth mentioning (maybe something juicy you may like to read, but i really can't remember much :P)

the day before our anni, he took me on a pre-anni dinner to jogoya in starhill... if any of you have been there, you know that it's damn freaking expensive! now, for a guy that has been saving for the whole year for a very expensive car component, spending sparingly, i was rather touched he was willing to pay 200++ for our dinner. he knows i love jap food and wanted to take me to a place that he read, served a great jap buffet. so we went right after uni...

we started dining at about 7 something and finished at about 9++. i think that was the only time i've eaten oyster without much of a second thought! i love oyster and salmon, so... heheh! go figure. i have only two slabs of oyster... (but huge le!!!) one of them was a kimchi seasoned fresh oyster, the other was a cheese baked oyster. my salmon came in the form of SUSHI!!!!! heheh! i love jap food... did i mention? :P

as for my darling, heheh! he took a variety of stuff. whilst i made bee lines to unagi, sushi, soft shelled crabs and tempuras... hahah! he went all over on a food odssey! he sampled everything from special sushi to lemon chicken! hahah! isn't he adorable?! hahha! anyhow, he'd specially pick food he'd think was extra nice for me. like the kimchi oyster, he took for me. so i ordered the unagi.

the food there, if it's not malaysian food, rocks! the lemon chicken nick took wasn't that good but the other types of food, the jap food, the fusion food, it all seriously rocked! the unagi was good, it falls apart in your mouth with that sweet sweet taste, the oysters are all fresh! the scallops are divine! and their wasabi is unique, as if they ground the radish themselves!!!

the dessert was so ooooh! it was sinful just to consume it! the chocolate fudge was so delicate! melted in my mouth, same with the green tea fudge. the tiramisu... ohhhhhh! (if all the ooooohs and ohhhhhs remind you of the "Big O" the cake i guess was as good as that!) hahha! imagine a rich tiramisu resting on your tongue, slowly melting, arresting your sensory organ (the tongue) as it teases you with the delicate aromas of coffee rising to the roof of your mouth. as you swallow it, the rich creamy texture leaves hints of coffee, chocolate and cheese. just makes you crave for more!

the ice cream was also heavenly. i took 3 dollops of chocolate chip ice cream! hahah! rocks le! nick took strawberry, and vanilla. he was entranced by vanilla and had to go for seconds! hahah! but it was really really good! the ice cream was super creamy. it didn't have that rough texture you get from your everyday ice cream, yet it was so much nicer than those from baskin robins!

i went to grab more salmon!!! haha! but alas, someone had taken one too many and only left one lonely slab. i didn't want it to feel so lonely, so i let it join it's friends in my belly :P
