Food, Glorious Food

Great food needs to be appreciated and savoured by foodie lovers like me.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in this.

Korean fare @ Chinatown : Jang Hon
Authentic korean settings & dishes. We enjoyed the side dishes so much that we wanted to have extra serving but decided against it because no one else did that!

Anais : my partner-in-crime #1

Bean paste soup : extraordinarily tasty and its just spoonful after spoonful.

Simple side dishes but very yummy. Don't know how they did it!

Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab (with beef)

Aussie fare @ Double Bay, Raffles City

The place looks classy and expensive but we found out the prices were actually very reasonable given their servings and quality of food.

With Joanna - my 2nd partner in crime

Starter : Rare Pacific Tuna Salad

Main #1 : Pan Roasted Sea Bass

Main #2 : Pan Roasted Carribean something...

Dessert #1 : Pavlova

Unique blend of sweet, sour & tangy-ness of the lemon meringue pastry, custard and forest berry sorbet.

Dessert #2 : Banoffee Pie

Caramelized banana topped with vanilla ice-cream on a thin crust

Who says women can't eat??

Who says one must travel out of Singapore to taste the fairest of fare?

What's next? Hmmm..I wonder...

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
