Yo! Feel sian now!!! AHHHH.
Went to IKOI JAPANESE RESTAURANT today with my parents! It was mind-blowing can! I wanted to take pictures but the camara click damn loud then I very paiseh. haha.
1st we had salmon sashimi appertizers and that was the most wonderful sashimi I've ever tasted!! Followed my mix sashimi plate (tako, swordfish, tuna, salmon and 2 more which I have forgotten). by now, I was pretty sick of raw fish but it was good!
After that was chawanmushi. It had a very strong eggy taste. The fried tofu was good though. A little spicy but nice. The yakatori was tough and probably one dish I would not recommend, along with the chicken wings. The unagi was good and so was the tempura, particularly the shitake tempura. Then they served miso soup in a small kettle and we had to drink the soup from little tea cups! That was delicious XD. The assortment of grilled fish was alright.
And I finally got to try SOMEN! It arrived cold, with ice cubes and it was heavenly. The chasoba was even better than the one at Kushinbo, with the strong seaweed taste making it very pleasent. We also had this steamed fish head which was good. The meat came off in chunk. Salmon skin maki was one of the highlights of the day. The skin was crispy and flavoursome, while the mayo and roe evened out the tastebuds.
Finally I ate some beef curry. The beef was tough but the curry was fragrant and wonderful. The rice was hard though.
Oh and I met yeu keed on the train!
This was a very foody post!

Aim in life
Hello, fellow space aliens.
I've been wondering for some time now: what is it that I want to devote the rest of my life to? The reason for this concern? I find myself wasting time mopping around the house and rotting in front of the computer for hours on end doing nothing. Its not that I don't enjoy my time at home or playing the computer cause usually I live in a Kampung for most of the week. I cherish my time at home but I feel that there should be more purpose in my life. I should be doing something that will benefit others or have a significant impact on my future.
Perhaps this is a result of being surrounded by the academic elite for 5 days a week. I see people around me preparing for interviews, tests, etc. These are people who have countless achievements and are striving to do more now. For me, perhaps the singular form of 'Acheivements' would suffice. Other than academia, I have no other achievements I would put down on pen and paper because there are none. Take the NUS scholarship essay. It required us to write about an achivement that would be beneficial to the NUS community. Total ownage. I didn't know what to write.
Ah well.. Guess I'll have to try to think of an answer to my worries.

Hello! Yes, I'm trying to remove the msn virus. Sorry about it!!
Had Pei Xian's farewell dinner ytd. WE went all the way to central at clarke quay to eat... RAMEN. Tasted like good wanton noodles. lol. The pork belly was baddd. Tasted much better ones at curry favour. And we had Ramen refills for 2 dollars. They literally gave u another set of noodles (w/o the soup) I ahd to steal some soup from eunice XD
After that we headed to the Singapore River and ate ice cream. Walked to Marina Square (with andrew annoying us with his cantonese all the way) and crossed one particular road with no traffic lights at the junction! It was stupid and deangerous, but hey! We were high! lol. Stopped at marina square starbucks and chatted till 11pm. Tried to take photos many times but failed everytime! =( Px is going to Shanghai for 6 months. Leaving on thursday morning and I cant see her off! Sad!
Today... watched The Shinjuku Incident with Grace. Its a good movie, like all Jackie Chan movies are. Quiet gory though (To me, everything is gory). Ate Ice cream again until the rain stopped. Super tired now.
All right, thats all for now! Going back soon. Cya guys!

Hullos to my cuddly readers =D (including those screaming for an illustious update)
RP today in the morning to do some essays for application BUT i forgot my PIN!!! Only did thhine MOE one in the end. Played warcraft and surfed fb while waiting for Andrew. Then off to RP foodcourt. We ate some 3.90 sirloin steak with spag. It was actually a thing slice of meat =.=!!
Starbucks next to chill. Talked for a long time and it was a very reminescing experience + live news update. =D Movie was up next! Pual Blart, Mall Cop. Not very nice. Funny though. If you want to watch make sure u get the tickets at 6 bucks. If not, its not worth it.
Not a very illustrious update though. Dont have the feel for blogging now. tata!

An
Yes, this was drawn using a mouse by Emmanuel. Amazing huh!
Took antibiotics on an empty stomach today and felt really sick after that. Almsot vomitted in Burger King when I had breakfast with papa and mummy. Felt really awful =(
Dumb dumb Jasmine kept changing her mind today. Finally met her at 11 at buana to go NUS!! *eager! Decided not to jostle for the shuttle bus and instead took 95 there. She decided to pang sei the law talk and we went to the booths to ask questions. AFter that met kaka and eunice for the science talk. Went to get some lunch and got some really shitty oyster mee sua. But the prata hot dog was nice!
Stall person: Chilli or Mustard?
Me: Mustard!!... Lots of it please!
*Stall person squeezes out 3 thin lines
Me: =(
Went to dentistry next and saw Fast Shannon with his gf Equally Fast Sarah. 2.4km 7.55 and 9.05 respecively. Fast bo! Then it was home sweet home! Guess what I saw on the bus?
.jpg)
Whats that? oo!! *looks closer
OMG ITS A BABY'S SHOE
Totally revoluntionary way of keeping your balance on the bus. JUST GRAB A BABY'S SHOE!
I'm Never EVER gonna grab that particular handgrip.

Watched the pink panther 2 with bitey todaee. Steve Martin is a super funny guy. We bought lolipops into the theater and sucked on them until the movie ended. The initial plan was to eat at MOS but bitey had craving for sushi. So we went to Ichiban to eat. The Tempura Ice-cream was niceee! Went to see the new Northpoint after that. I thought it was very big but it was actually very small lor!
Kong Cheng gave me a slice of tiramisu cake that he made! Its nice! Thanks kc~

HELLO!!!
INKHEART TODAYY! Not bad la. Quite draggy, and not as funny as bedtime stories. Changeling is the nicest! Watched with Karen, Pei Xian and Eunice! *Loves! Karen bought couple seats, and deprived 2 couples of couple seats -.- No difference lor. She go in and pull down the arm rest -.-
Gymed today and I feel all weak and lousy now. Dunno why. heh

The wart!
A plantar wart (also verruca plantaris or commonly known as verruca) is a wart caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) occurring on the sole or toes of the foot.
There is currently no cure or treatment for HPV infection. (ZOMG)
It is estimated that 7-10% of the US population is infected. (Wow. Thats like 2.1 million to 3 million people. BROTHERS!) Infection typically occurs on moist walking surfaces such as showers, swimming pools, or shoes. (DAMN. No more swimming) The virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious.
The HPV lifecycle strictly follows the differentiation program of the host keratinocyte. It is thought that the HPV virion infects epithelial tissues through micro-abrasions, whereby the virion associates with putative receptors such as alpha integrins and laminins, leading to entry of the virions into basal epithelial cells through clathrin-mediated endocytosis and/or caveolin-mediated endocytosis depending on the type of HPV. At this point, the viral genome is transported to the nucleus by unknown mechanisms and establishes itself at a copy number between 10-200 viral genomes per cell. A sophisticated transcriptional cascade then occurs as the host keratinocyte begins to divide and become increasingly differentiated in the upper layers of the epithelium. The viral oncogenes, E6 and E7, are thought to modify the cell cycle so as to retain the differentiating host keratinocyte in a state that is amiable to the amplification of viral genome replication and consequent late gene expression. E6 in association with host E6 AP (associated protein), which has ubiquitin ligase activity act to ubiquitinate p53 leading to its proteosomal degradation. E7 (inoncogenic HPV's) acts as the primary transforming protein. E7 competes for pRb binding, freeing the transcription factor E2F to transactivate its targets, thus pushing the cell cycle forwards. All HPV can induce transient proliferation, but only 16 and 18 can immortalise cell intes (in vitro). It has also been shown that HPV 16 and 18 cannot immortalise primary rat cells alone, there needs to be activation of the ras oncogene. In the upper layers of the host epithelium, the late genes L1 and L2 are transcribed/translated and serve as structural proteins which encapsidate (Encapsidation is the process of incorporating a nucleic acid sequence (e.g., a vector, or a viral genome) into a viral particle) the amplified viral genomes. Virions can then be sloughed off in the dead squames of the host epithelium and the viral lifecycle continues.
@.@
Someone get me a panadol. Fast.

Infection typically occurs on moist walking surfaces such as showers, swimming pools, or shoes. (DAMN. No more swimming) The virus can survive many months without a host, making it highly contagious.
Because plantar warts are spread by contact with moist walking surfaces, they can be prevented by not walking barefoot in public areas such as showers or communal changing rooms, not sharing shoes and socks, and avoiding direct contact with warts on other parts of the body or on other people. (So uhhhh... Don't touch my foot, kaes. Right foot.) Humans build immunity with age, so infection is less common among adults than children. (Seeee uncle. I'm still young. Children.)
Once a person is infected, there is no evidence that any treatment eliminates HPV infection or decreases infectivity, and warts may recur after treatment because of activation of latent virus present in healthy skin adjacent to the lesion. There is currently no vaccine for these types of the virus. However, treatments are sometimes effective at addressing symptoms and causing remission (inactivity) of the virus.
Hahaha. Okay la. I got scared when I read it at first cause I thought this thing was like... no sweat man! So its more serious than I thought eh? Maybe I should tell the ns doctor and get him to de-pes me. hahaha!

One of the hundreds of musuems in Melaka. Notice the date! Remember it well!

Malaysia Flyer. 40m shorter than Singapore's. They moved this Ferris wheel all da way from KL to Melaka.
.jpg)
Eating spree over there! Ate this chicken rice ball. niceee! Summore its so cheap. One person convert to Sing dollars only 88 cents. CHEAP OR WHAT. 1 whole chicken summore for 9 people.

Sunghun...
Hello! Woke up super duper early today cause I wanna have breakfast with my parents. I srsly hate the fact that I normally don't get to eat with them on weekends. Moreover, I'm gg toa rmy soon so I must try to treasure such moments ^.^
After that went for a haircut and then out to meet uncle at dhoby. Basket. I spent 71 cents to walk from on side of dhoby to the other. Ate at astons! The grilled fish with herb was not as nice as teh hickory bbq chicken, and stupid uncle poured chilli over my half eaten mashed potatoes. Left them there lo. Bo bian. So disgusting la. Bought tickets for 3.30 Bedtime Stories at the Cathay, but then Huiyi was late. Bedtime stories... okay la. Its not that nice a show. Some funny parts. Its like the less interesting version of Bolt. Walked to esplanade after the movie, took pictures!
Left uncle at Raffles and headed to the airport with Huiyi to send Sung off! Missed Tanah Merah and we sat to Simei before realising that we forgot to get off at Tanah Merah. My goodness. He's going back to Korea for don't know how many donkey months/years. Probably coming back next yr. Hais. What to do huh. Trained back with Huiyi. =)
ALL THE BEST SUNG!

The Bank Robber
In Taiwan, a man held a woman hostage in a bank using a toy gun and demanded money from the bank tellers. Following normal procedure, the bank teller handed over a stack of money worth 100,000 dollars. The bank robber made away with the money, or so he thought.
The notes at the front and the back of the stack was real (correction. saw the news again and apparently the top and bottom notes are fake. they just look real), but there was nothing but blank slips of paper in between. Moreover, such notes are often traceable in the event of bank robberies.
hahahaha.
