居酒屋 (Izakaya)

居酒屋 (Izakaya) is a type of restaurant which also serves food to accompany the drinks. Companies usually have their 飲み会 (drinking sessions) at 居酒屋 (Izakaya) and they will order a standard 2500yen course plus a 1500yen 飲み放題 (free flow of drinks). Which amounts to 4000yen ($57.00). My heart aches when i NEED to go for such department gatherings and they are very good at coming up with all sorts of reasons such as: 歓迎会 (Welcome Party), 送別会 (Farewell Party), 忘年会 (Year End Party),新年会 (New Year Party) to organize 飲み(drinking sessions).

During such 飲み会 (drinking sessions), the Japanese will first order a 生ビル(beer) and the will wait till everyone's drink is here to do a 乾杯 (cheers). Most of the Japanese will drink more than half mug of the beer. Before the first dish is serve, they will have already finished their first mug of beer and when the first dish is serve, they will order their second mug or another alcohol drinks. They usually do not get drunk during the first round of 飲み会 (drinking sessions), they have second round called 二次会。This is when you see Japanese man singing and putting ties on their foreheads. Which means, whatever you saw in dramas, comics or animes, they are true in real life. No Joke!

These items are almost available in all 居酒屋 (Izakaya):
Alcoholic drinks: Sake (日本酒), beer (ビル), Shouchu (焼酎), Cocktails: Sour Mix (サワ), Chuihai (チューハイ), Wine and Whiske.
Food: Yakitori (焼き鳥), Kushiyaki (串焼き), Sashimi (刺身), Karaage (唐揚げ), Edamame (枝豆), Tofu and Tsukemono (漬物).

I had a friend here in Tokyo for business trip thus a few of us decided to meet up and had a nice dinner at 居酒屋(Izakaya). We ordered neither the course nor the 飲み放題 (free flow of drinks). Thus the whole meal amounts to 2770yen ($39.00) per pax.

花炎(Kaen) - randomly entered one 居酒屋 (Izakaya).

appetizer - a small piece of broccoli, one deep fried potato and a piece of very nicely fried egg.

Innerts stew (もつ).

Sashimi (刺身) - i love fresh Sashimi (刺身)!

bbq of meat and innerts.

Karaage (唐揚げ) - well, its actually just bite size fried chicken but the waiter told us they use their in house miso sauce. Frankly, i can't tell the difference. It tastes just like the microwave-able fried chicken i bought from the supermarkets.

very fatty meat with egg - i love fatty meat. I don't understand why they are not easily available in Japan and fatty meat are more expensive than lean meat in supermarkets.

the aftermath.

First Kitchen (ファーストキッチン)

First Kitchen (ファーストキッチン) is a fast food chain in Japan. They sell burgers, pastas and are famous for their flavored french fries, called "Flavor Potato". Being more health conscious recently, i ordered the salad set instead.

カボナラタサラダセット(Cabonara Salad Set) from First Kitchen. It comes with a drink (Cafe Latte). This cost 950yen, around 13.50sgd. This is considered an above average meal for me in Japan as i usually try to eat below 700yen (10sgd) per meal.

カボナラ(Cabonara)

下一站,幸福

最近我一口气把《下一站,幸福》看完了。

简介: 女主角慕橙天性善良透明,是这个世上再也找不出第二个的国宝级的纯情派,她不常掉泪,她水晶般的眼泪,具有扫净苦痛和恶欲的能力。她懂得并期待真正的爱情,面对任何困难从不气馁,热情、正义,当她发现男主角任光晞保护她,并且爱上了任光晞。眼看着幸福即将来临,却因为想让光晞有更大的几率活下去,慕橙为了光晞的病不得不让步。在光晞母亲的苦苦哀求之下,慕橙在光晞手术当天离开。六年来,慕橙带着儿子小乐在花田村坚强而乐观的活着,患有第一型糖尿病的小乐是慕橙人生中最珍贵的礼物。只有陪她一路走来的拓也了解,在慕橙平静的笑容之下有着深深的遗憾与感伤,没想到光晞会再次回到她的生命,面对失去记忆的光晞,慕橙只能压抑内心的悸动,为改头换面拥有美好生活的光晞送上深深祝福。无意打开隐藏在幸运手环里的记忆卡,面对两人昔日相依的照片,所有失去的记忆排山倒海而至,光晞想起了慕橙,和他们之间的爱情。

演员: 吴建豪 - 任光晞, 安以轩 - 梁慕橙, 许玮宁 - 何以茜, 吴慷仁 - 花拓也

《下一站,幸福》画面精雕细琢、美得像加长版的MV。 剧中男女住角一波三折的爱情看得我撕心裂肺。 让我印象深刻的是女主角居住的花田村,所有人都姓花。长得很抱歉的村长大名居然是“花泽类”,有一对叫“花椒粉”(阿娇)和“花煞煞”(阿SA)的TWINS。村里还有一个小孩长得象卢广仲, 十分有趣, 平衡了这部剧集。

沙发番薯指数:3/5

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10. This cost 1029yen. It is a pack of 18 pairs of eye mask. Which is pretty affordable, per pair cost about 81cent.

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10 works like a facial sheet mask just that it is specifically for the under eye areas. The eye mask sheets are made of 100% cotton.

The packaging is like wet tissue wipes. I do have my concerns for its packaging as i always wonder if the moisture in the packet will evaporate over time? They do sell in a box of 5 pairs individually packed which cost 598yen. It is more economical for me to get the pack of 18pairs.

The above shows one sheet of the eye mask. I use this eye mask during the last step of my skincare regime. Just put the mask under the eye and ensure good contact with the skin. It stays pretty well on the skin and it does not slip off like some of the gel type eye mask which i've tried before. I use this mask 2 to 3 times a week and 15 to 20 minutes each time.

It contains coenzyme Q10 and glycerine which helps to add and maintain moisture in the skin and also fight the signs of aging. It replenishes the moisture which my eyes need and the lines under my eyes are not so obvious after that.

I'm not sure if i will repurchase this product again. I'm still on the hunt for better eye mask.

偶像剧

以下的短篇是我在2005年写的。

星期一, 十二月 12, 2005

偶像剧

大多数的女生都爱观看偶像剧的原因真的其实非常简单。
因为偶像剧是虚幻的, 它呈现的是女生都希望发生在自己身上的童话故事。
偶像剧里的男主角一定来自豪门贵族,
企业家第二代,
长得风度翩翩,
个性高傲自我,
迷倒总多女生。
偶像剧里的女主角一定来自贫困的家庭,
经历非常坎坷,
长得不一定处处可怜,
个性却非常直率,开朗,
有时还会傻傻的非常可爱。
男女主角的邂后往往是由一个非常无聊的误会开始的。
事后他们总是会不期而遇,就像一对欢喜冤家, 一见面就会斗嘴,吵架。
但他们却不晓得,就在这个时候,爱情已经在他们俩儿之间满满的萌芽了。
男主角会发现女主角开朗的个性非常可爱,不由自主地思念起她来。
女主角屡次遇险,男主角总会巧妙地出现,奋不顾身的相救。
女主角也会发现男主角所表现出来的高傲和自我无非是为了掩饰心中的空虚和寂寞。
男主角在事业或人生的路上一定会遇到挫择。
这时候女主角一定会尽她所能,就算会撞的遍体鳞伤,她还是会想尽办法帮他的忙。
就这样他们深深地坠入爱河了。
事情一定不会那么顺利的,
在男主角的身边一定有一位和他青梅竹马,长得非常漂亮的女生。
男主角的母亲也会强烈的反对男女主角之间的交往。
但不论男主角身边有所少漂亮女生,遇到多少阻碍,在男主角的眼里,他只看得到女主角一个人, 只想和女主角一个人在一起而已。
***
女生要的不过就是男生的眼里只有女生自己一个人而已。
但在现实生活中,这却比登天般来的困难。
偶像剧就像特效药般,帮女生填补这块空缺。
虽知道不是真是的,但却乐在其中。
***

再读一遍自己在5年前些的短篇后觉得5年前的偶像剧和5年后的今天仍大同小异。但我让偶像剧在这5年之间渐渐的从特效药变成了毒药,缠上了我, 而我根本不想把它甩掉。

Nature Republic - Deep Sleeping Mask

Nature Republic Deep Sleeping Mask.

This cost about $22 sgd for 95ml. Cheap! isn't it? It is an over night sleeping mask. Similar to Laneige Water Sleeping Pack but the price is less than half it!!

I was told by the sales assistant that after cleansing and apply toner, i just need to spread the deep sleeping mask over my face and leave it overnight. How good is it! skipped the need to apply emulsion, moisturizer and blah blah blah and the skin still gets all the nutrition it needs! I woke up the next morning with the skin feeling firm and supple. Its like it drank alot of water the night before. It is not recommended to use it every night, 2 - 3 times a week for best results.

It looks and feels gel-jelly like. The scent is light and refreshing. Feels abit cool when touch. Its a fairly big tub, 95ml. I guess it should be able to last me for a few good months.

I will definitely repurchase this product.

吉野家 (Yoshinoya) - Japan Version

One of my favourite meal in Japan is 牛丼from吉野家(Yoshinoya) . Reason being, its affordable and yummilicious! Nothing close to what Singapore Yoshinoya is serving. The Singapore version, cannot make it in my opinion. Bleah.

牛丼サラダセット(並)(Beef don salad set, regular) This cost: 500yen + 生卵 (raw egg) This cost: 50yen.

It is a MUST for me to eat my 牛丼 (Beef don) with a 生卵 (raw egg).

Steps to eat 牛丼サラダセット(Beef don salad set) + 生卵 (raw egg) - Japan Version.

Step 1:
Beat the raw egg (生卵).

Step 2:
Pour the beaten egg on the 牛丼(Beef don).

Step 3:
Sprinkle ALOT of 七味 (Chill spices).

Step 4:
Mix! Mix the rice, the beef, the onion, the egg and the chill spices.

Step 5:
Eat! Look at the gluey, sticky rice mixed with the raw egg, beef and onion. *slurp!

After 20mins.

*Burp

It is also a MUST for me to finish everything... even the last grain of rice.
