Post Exams-Mortem Part I
Exams are finally over!Shouldn't I be dilligently updating my blog? Uh no, on the contrary I have been sleeping and sleeping. (I think my lecturers will be happy to hear this.) What a wonderful pastime after feeling deprived of sleep for so many nights.
Would like to take this chance and express my thanks to all my compassionate lecturers who have dedicated so much of their time to education and still managed to retain their sanity. In random order, thank you: Ms. Tay, Ms. Ng, Ms. Daga, Ms. Quah, Mr. Wong NT, Mr. Dillon Lee, Mr. Eugene Lee, Mr. Aloysius Lee, Mr. Sim, Mr. Kok, Mr. Gan, Mr. Chia, Mr. Neo, Mr. Ignatius Lee, Mr. Tai, Mr. Lou, all our lovely chefs with fierce hats and finally, Mr. Yong. Don't worry, you guys will all appear in my TAS Survival script soon. Wishing you guys a really Happy Teachers' Day marking our papers with much sweat. Alanis Morissette's "Thank You" sincerely dedicated to all of you fellow beacons out there for being a special part of my learning journey at TAS.
Been in a ZiCha frenzy lately coz haven't been eating much for the past few weeks. Yesterday my boyfriend and I went Changi village for zicha dinner; ANd Today my family and I went to this really interesting ZiCha place at the Kaki Bukit area; which is totally weird, in terms of location and concept. Had it not been my father who took a short cut on his way to work and randomly glimpsed out of the window for strange hideouts, we wouldn't be dining there.
The reason why I decided to write about this ZiCha place is because..it's really weird for a Zicha place. It's weird in terms of location -- not really that visible, has expensive parking lots, not that accessible either nor is it convenient. And its too much of a posh thing for a ZiCha concept in a foodcourt coz the staffs wear nice uniforms that blend in with the nitty-gritties like interior decor and even right down to the menu presentation. The materials used in the foodcourt are interesting in a way, I honestly wouldn't know who the hell they're targeting when they're hiding in a ulu place like Kaki Bukit with loads of factories and foreign worker hostels nearby. The chairs are metallic; the floor's a gleaming sort of phoney marble; the cutleries are porcelain-white; the chopsticks are classy black with a band of metal one inch down from the top and the coffees we ordered, were served in restaurant-styled coffee cups; the decor is vivid with colours and they use plants to freshen up the place too.
And so, we tucked in happily into fish head curry, szechuan toufu, stir-fried gailan and san bei chicken. Overall, I wouldn't say the food's fantastic; the serving portions were smaller than usual. I bet they've spent all their overheads on the abnormally long banners outside and the nice presentation inside. And the location's so inconvenient, I doubt we'll head back there again.
