8 Degree

It's Thursday, almost reaching Friday. And guess what?
Tomorrow is my last day of school. That's damn fast that five weeks of school have passed and now I have reached the end of my first term. Next week would be all about studying and hopefully still some fun in between.
All study and no dessert makes Joyce an angry kitty.

Funny random things to do in class today. Since we were almost done with our essays and just left with the submission, we had free period instead, aka nothing to do for three hours.
The day before, I was playing Pokemon on my laptop. Super old school.
And today I was just on Facebook and Instagram, silently begging people to update their status or something for me to stalk. That is until my battery almost died.

Did random weird things in class like removing my piercing and OMG. It freaking hurts like crazy. I mean I just had two pierced last week, and one was healing alright, but the other is hurting me like a bitch. And the ear was kind of getting a bit swollen (Oh GOSH). So today I just did the worst thing to myself. The piercing was getting stuck into my ear, since firstly the ear was getting more swollen (I don't know why) so when it started swelling, the piercing depth is only that much, which mean it almost got covered by my ear skin. Great, I don't know how to explain or show. But pretty much, I had to rip the piercing out, yes literally, my friend beside me heard the ripping sound and got a shock. Almost cried in agony, and had to stop the minor bleeding session. Everything just sounded like a horror movie.
But just to make things sound nicer, nothing bad happened in the end, no infection (thank goodness!), just replaced the first stud with another and now it's look better. Blah blah blah. Moving on. I bought two new studs from nex today! And they had to be my favorite characters as well. Just fell in love.
One was a Batman logo stud. Another was Nightmare before Christmas.
And and and! I found that x-craft sells the Batman logo pendant. Super debate whether I should purchase it. SIGH.

ANYWAY....

It's been a while since I did a little blogging about food places I visited.
This evening I just tried out another new food place, and to think it's so near to my church and yet I didn't find the opportunity to try it.
Even heard my cousin talking about it, but yet it just doesn't seem to be on my food hunt list UNTIL.... The store put up a groupon deal. Damn.
I was won over, bought the deal and made a day out to eat at this place. Damn you cheap deal, making me buy you and making me go there to eat and fatdie.

Anyway, back to the point, here I am (like finally) to try the food out.
And it is said they named the restaurant after Jay Chou's song.
P.S. I never really listen to much of his songs so I'm not sure which one. But the whole place is decorated with his pictures, and even the background music was his songs. The owner definitely a big fan of him.



Ordered a milk tea with rose dips?
Taste pretty much like Bandung. But pretty much what I needed, something sweet and something refreshing for my throat.
Something like itching my throat the whole day and it's annoying.


Egg rolls with pork floss.
And Ashley was telling me about how he ate this in Taiwan and the awesomeness of this dish, but somehow I kind of disappointed him when I had one, and just went nah, don't find it that nice or special.
Maybe I haven't tried the one in Taiwan, so this one I just found it to be alright. Like it's a nice dish, egg rolls with pork floss, but I just don't see anything special about it.
They ought to add bacon, lots and lots of bacon to make it special and awesome.



Simple fried rice.
And again with pork floss. The secret to making dish taste nice? Add pork floss.
But this dish is nice, together with shrimps added.


And now here the beef noddles and the dish that my cousin told me I should try if I ever come here to eat.
So hey, I'm eating it!
The beef is so tender and soft, almost melting in my mouth. Damn, they need to add more pieces, and perhaps in smaller pieces so it seemed like I have more to eat. LOL!
Funny thing, we requested for small bowls so that we can scoop out half to share instead of sharing from one bowl. And they gave us this super small, short bowls, in which it seemed like those appetizer bowl. Erm much?


Our three main course to share.
Simple yet not too bad dinner.


But of course with every dinner, there's kind of a need for dessert.
I don't know about you, but I'm a super dessert person. But that of course depend on the meal as well, and whether they have nice dessert on the menu.

Tonight dessert slightly different. We're having honey butter toast, and topped with marshmallow and strawberries!
Sweetness overloaded! Damn. In one day I had too much fried and sweet food.
Gentle reminder to run it off tomorrow evening at stadium.


But it became flat tofu after Ashley murdered it into smaller pieces.
There goes giant toast, and now we're eating tofu-looking toast for dessert.

But that's our dinner tonight. Our total bill came up to about $39.
The groupon deal that I bought is paying $10 for a $20 voucher, so technically the dinner is $10 off.
Until the next time I purchase another online deal for a new place to try!
