CNY ramblings. dong dong chiang..

as an abroad student, one should expect he or she will be unable to celebrate special dates back home.

Especially those who is gonna be abroad for a long time... like bunny here.

You think it will get easier, but it wont. 

Especially this time round my batch mates are going back for Chinese New Year since there's a two week break.

I expected myself to go back too... but apparently it is viable. sadly.

So i am alone in an empty household.

Don get me wrong, i went out everyday, from lunch till midnight tarot readings (yeah i still do that, i am a tarot card reader if u guys arent aware)

But it still feels bad.

i am not the clingy, home sick kind of guy, but i guess this time its particularly worse, i guess its because i actually can go back, but my plan sunk.

gong xi gong xi ni.... four years and counting...

for those who complained about nosy aunties and busy hectic family drama, i will tell you this, i will sway any day.

For nosy aunties, you cant expect them to change their questions, because they don know you well enough. They cant move on to other questions because you might gonna see each other once a year. But they want to be a part of your life, and wad could be easier than asking about your romance and career? If you are annoyed of it, its just because you are aware of it too, one can easily mistake the questions as a malicious reminder of your sad single life. But don worry, they them talk, smile and said you r busy with your life at the moment. Ask them about their lives too, it has to be a two way thing.

CNY is one of the best memories in my life and i keep wanting to go back to relive it. Sometimes, okay, most of the times we kept saying that it wasnt as good as the last time, because you will always retain the idea that cny is the best flashy day you get to be a part of. The cycle will keep on going, you will sooner or later be the one buying the fireworks, and you will want to make it the best ever, because you want the next generation to see it that way too. 

That is how i see it.

And that is how i believe it.

Happy chinese new year peeps.

COMIC: A NORMAL DAY IN CLASS

from the left to the right
What is the answer to X?
girl: Y! Y!
guy: My guess would be Y in relation to Z and with a dash of ABCD~
Bunny: Lying bastards

Being in the science stream, this is fairly normal, but i expect this to happen to asia countries. But even the westerners have their fair share of gunners.

Study oledi jz say study oledi la, wont kill you if u r so keen to show your worth in class lol. There's no point to hide it if everyone is gonna know sooner or later. 

Being a christian doesnt make u right

Hi guys, sorry for the long overhaul. Exams came and went, now I am busy doing some project thing. Yeap. Life. Trying to get some rest, but things kept piling up. This is one good thing abt being a science student; you don’t really have a good rest if u will it. You are just delaying things. There seems to be no end.

Anyways, speaking  abt science student’s professionalism, I recently had a weird scenario on fb.

As I was procrastinating like always on fb, I came across an article shared by a dude who is both a junior doctor and a holy Christian at the same time.

His title is the mark of the beast is coming, as stated in the bible 2000 years ago.

It is an article about Europe babies are forced to have microchip implanted in their arms.

(link here)

And this mark of the beast shenanigan is basically in the last chapter of the bible, they predicted that at the end of time, satan or wad not put the mark of the beat on everyone and Christian will have a hard time waging war against this. Honestly, to me it sounds like an anti-government message, and if u resist long enough, you will be ensured rapture. Rapture as in you will be born again. Born again as in, you will go to heaven.  And a few years ago, people seem to think that this mark of the beast is some microchip thing. I am not too sure myself, so don screw me if my knowledge abt the bible is horribly wrong. I am a Christian btw =p

The minute I saw the article, I recognize the picture shown is in fact a bio stamp. A bio stamp is more of a marker to show how well are u, in terms of fluid balance, temperature yada yada. Its no microchip.

And just to make sure, I googles it and it is a bio stamp, so I try to give him a benefit of a doubt by reading the article. The article has no source, and the government has no official news abt forcing microchip into people, which if you rationally think abt it, its kinda stupid if it’s a forced policy. There are no other articles abt this, so naturally I assume its fake.

So, on good faith, because I know he is a keen medic so he appreciated the impact of sharing false panic induced news, I posted a comment, “xx, that’s a biostamp, and there is no official news or a reliable source with this. So I think this is fake….”

After a few hours, I realized, to my surprised, my comment is deleted.

Wwwuuudddddd?

He still shared the news.

I don’t really understand, I don’t think my comment offended him, though by right as a medic he should check the validity of the article anyway. So y he deleted my comment, except: one, he strongly disagreed that it was fake, two, he realized it was fake, so just to save face he deleted my comment.

I don’t mind anything actually, because there are a lot of dumb ppl on fb, but knowing that this article is fake, yet he still continue sharing it, if it isn’t his pride, it should be his religion. Or…. He just thinks that this gets him more likes, and my comment will prevent him from tat.

Gosh, really, none of the options really put him under a good light.

I was so tempted to annoy him by playing dumb and comment once more, adding ‘strange, someone deleted my comments.’

Or just be straight forward and said, ‘xx why my comments disappeared?’

Well, but I don’t want to be rude, so I just turned a blind eye.

But really, if u share something based on religion and you used religion to justify wad is clearly not right. I sincerely think it’s a wakeup call to reflect on whether you truly are on the right path or not.

Being a religious Christian, is not the same as being holy or closer to God. It is good for you and your faith if you hang out with the down to earth Christians. However this can work both way, you can easily sunk to a cult level if you are with like-mind, twisted people.  

So really, guys think abt it, if at one time where you are telling yourself: its okay to do this, I am doing this for God. Or its okay for doing something bad to others because they r non-believers and they won’t mind. Stop, breath and think.

Shocking fact abt acne i learnt in dermatology (@o@)

I know this might b common knowledge for some science-y ppl.

But I was so amazed by this fact this week that I jz hav to share it with u guys. Especially vain gay ppl  lol.

as u can see its from yo derm haha

I was stationed at a dermatology clinic and we hav a lecture abt acne, or pimples, or comedomes, or black head, or evidence of youth, or wadever you guys wanna call it.

Apparently, ance, or pimples or... you get the drill, has NO scientific evidence of correlation between diet, hygiene, washing or wad not. 

Yeap.

So wad does tat mean you asked?

Well, think,

Eating chocolates and durians will not increase, or make you have pimples.

Prowling through heavy smoky haze will not increase, or make you have pimples.

Washing your face religiously every day will not decrease or make your pimples disappear.

I jz hav to stress that since i recently saw a surge of gay men boasting abt them buying weird ass facial wash from weird ass brands.

So i stress it again, the major effect of applying certain wad not brands' facial wash on ur face is just burning a hole through your pocket.

I might still have second thoughts abt the food part, since in terms of chinese medication there is still this heaty and chilly, yin and yang stuff going around. But the facial wash part.... yeap, its useless.

A student then held up her hands and ask: 'if it doesn't help, y the government allows companies to sell them?'

The dermatologist paused and answer.'put this into perspective:

''using this will remove acne!''

this, you need a medical claim, hence the only few ppl who dare use this claim are ones tat actually work, like benzyl peroxide. 

''Using this will make your skin firmer by rejuvenating your skin, and will make spots disappear!''

This is not a medical claim.  

Hence there is no quality control over this by the medical committee or the government.

The only chance, which is quite often, that they will get sued over this is by other competing companies. Tat said, L'Oreal and Clinique always sue each other over alleged claims, that is another dimension i don want to get involved with.

from L'Oreal lol

But know this, there is no evidence, washing your face everyday will not help reduce your acne.'

Wao.

No wonder.

Cuz i don really wash my face. and when bear asked me to do that, I do use it from time to time, but i do not realise any difference.

Then he cont speaking:' so, in other works, for those who has more acne, its purely down to your body's fault, or to simply put it, bad luck.' 

So guys, i don know whether you believe me or not la, but these guys are one of the pinnacles of uk dermatology society, so do take facial washs' marketing claims with a pinch of salt.

But don fret over it! There are treatments however, but you need a prescription (apart from topical benzy peroxide), just saying there's no need for you to buy over the counter expensive facial wash and expect it to be all better. =x

COMIC: MORNING.....

The holidays have broke my spirit, its been a while since i woke up at 8.00 am... so this is how the morning looks like.... birds chirping and stuff..... 

usually when i woke up, it's already dark since its still technically winter in UK. 

Life sux. 

35th month anniversary

One more month and its official, I am together with bear for three years.

Ugh, this only shows how old we have become.

To be honest, despite being together for so long, I don’t think it really counts. Y? Cuz we are having a long distance relationship, I mean, if u trust each other enuf, you practically live in a sweet couple bubble where you only rmb the good stuff abt each other. Your time of being together is significantly shorter, so does your chance of having an argument. Technically, you only enjoy the great bits of being in a relationship.

Minus the body warmth and the cuddling.

Boy, I do miss the cuddling from time to time, I realise I yearn that more than usual lately. Hence our visits seem to be more and more frequent. Maybe I am getting older and I appreciate that genuine care don come by easily.

Or mayb I just don’t mind the atrocious transportation fees anymore, or the long train hours doesn't seem as daunting as it used to be. Money and time is always a factor so I am thankful that both of us are not plagued by that problem. Mainly I, since studying is never my main priority despite me being a science student, I care just enuf to get me to be an average student (not borderline failing student mind you).

But anyways, I am popping by again to see him in a week’s time. It certainly burnt a hole into my wallet, but I will deal with tat problem later, like when I do not have enuf money to buy food hence starving to death. 

Life is good for now.

Happy 35^th month anniversary bear, and I can’t wait for our three year anniversary!  

Cornered by robbers in Paris

Sorry sorry, this shall b the last post abt paris.

Well hav you heard about tourists getting conned by the locals?

Well, wad I have here is almost an equivalent to day light robbery. -,-

Bear and I met up with a few friends of mine during my trip in Paris. The plan was just to float around with them for a day (and I think I would love the idea of having someone taking pictures of bear and I without fretting over my fear of pleading to strangers for help.)

So we went for a few not so mainstream tourist spot and we decided to go to a chapel. Since it is winter, Paris was already quite dark to have a random exploration.

kudos to Alex =D
source from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Sacre-coeur-paris.jpg

As we walked up the chapel, suddenly a bunch of Afro-Carribean surged to our group. I traveled alone before, so naturally I understand what they are trying to do, so I started striding towards the entrance. One caught up with my pace.

Dude: ‘Brother I have something to give you.’

Bunny: ‘No thanks,’

Dude: ‘respect my religion brother.’

Bunny: *keeps on walking* (thinking): ‘gosh, he is persistent, I wonder wad is he offering… No I shall not be tricked!’

Dude: ‘Free of charge!!’

Bunny: (thinking) free of charge, I suppose one look wont hurt. NO NO. I should walk faster.

As I managed to reach the entrance, bear grabbed my hand and pull me away from the dude, growling at the guy.

When I looked around, all the girls were with bear and I, but a few guys were missing. Uh-oh.

I made my way back and saw my friend was cornered at a fence by 5 or 6 of the tourist touts. The other friend tried to grab him out of there. Bear and I rushed to the crowd and tried to reach our hand into the tout circle to grab my friend so that we can yank him out of the lion’s den. But when I held out my hand, one of the guys smacked my hand and told me in a menacing tone: ‘don interfere.’

Gosh, I was lost at words. And the fact that we were at the main street, someone later told me that a passer-by even video recorded this whole scene. I heard ppl screaming, I think it's the shop vendors along the road. Ironically, all of this chaotic scene right in front of the chapel. I could see tat Bear was trying hard to protect me as more and more Black guys started swarming as they got a whiff of their prey.

My friend in question was quite calm, apparently the tout grab his hands and shoved in a cheap looking bracelet and demanded for a donation of 20 euros. He did not dare to take out his wallet, fearing that it will get snatched away. He ended up trying to fish 5 euros from his jacket. Whenever he fished a 5, the group shouted MORE MORE MORE. It was quite terrifying witnessing the barbaric scene.

He eventually managed to produce 20 euros, and the group dispersed as they went looking for more prey. We ended up not going to the chapel as it left us with a bad taste in our mouths.

But yeah, to those who are travelling abroad, it’s sad but you cannot trust anyone. Laws can only protect you from afar. And keep a bunch of small change with ya. =x

Ps: bear quite heroic, he told me tat one of the guys managed to made him wear the bracelet and he just took it off and coolly threw it away. Tat's my bf lol.  

Paris Restaurant review: Jean Restaurant (one michelin star)

Bear : We went to Paris for about 5 days, 3 of which were in Disneyland Paris. Disneyland is quite a journey away from the city itself, so we knew we only had 2 nights where we can venture for French food. With this in mind we booked a French restaurant even before we left the UK lol. 

This is the restaurant we've booked: Jean Restaurant.

The ambiance was nice, we got seated after waiting for a while, and we chose the 4 dishes tasting menu as usual.

Free entrée: tempura potato balls , cheese cake with vinegar sauce, squirt leg with cream and pudding soup. 

Bear: Small bites with interesting combinations of taste and texture. A mind-f**king start to showcase the chef's capability. Mixed well overall.

Bunny: pudding soup? tats cabonara cappuccino dear. And it's ducking disgusting D: . I like the first three but the weird texture of the cappucino makes me feel like I am eating overdue milk tat is in the process of becoming into a stinking cheese. But really the first three gives the restaurant a good start, it reminds me the two star restaurant pier a Terre haha. 

Bear: the pudding tasted well wa... I never had anything like this before so I kinda liked it hehe 

Starter: Raw Oyster and foei gras in chicken soup

Bear: Fresh oyster bedded on a foei gras, flooded with chicken soup, with lots of cheap vege made into a somewhat classy presentation. Doesn't mix that greatly although all food are good on their own.

Bunny: come to think of it, this is my favourite dish of the night. Mayb cuz I like oyster and foei gras. Hence by putting them both together it's so good tat I am willing to overlook the icky vegs tat float in the nice chicken soup they prepared. I like the fact tat they din sautee the foei gras. The rawness of the foei gras and oyster really packs a punch. 

Bear: vege are healthy and delicious! D: but I agree with you on the oyster hehe

Fish Dish: Fried cod fish fillet and classy vege (zucchini, peppers, mini capers, sea grape, and julienned leeks.)

Bear: The first time I heard about sea grape. Sea grape tasted like lady finger with its gooey texture. Fish fillet is like fish n chip's fillet, without the batter. The 'classy vege' (that's what the waiter said) sauce was ok but doesn't really relates to the fish. Fish with the soury sauce + deep fried ginger gave excellent texture but not excellent taste.

Bunny: I do not know tats grapes from the sea, too busy playing the updated version of plants and zombies lol. But frankly speaking the soup is too oily, reminds me of the Spanish way of cooking prawn tapas by using olive oil as a base. But at least the ones in Spain add white wine to curb the oiliness. I know they try to do tat here with the vegs, but it's clearly not enough. The turbot is tough and chicken-like by nature so no complaints there.  The grapes are like sweet caviar haha so I enjoy that.

Meat Dish: Roasted French Piglet Belly and Rib with pumpkin puree, celeriac fondant, pippin apples fried, truffle juice Autumn, brioche chestnut and rosemary.

Bear: Pork Tasted like roasted pork (燒肉) outside my house's chicken rice stall, truffle sauce and flakes did nothing on the pork as the pork is somewhat marinated to good taste already. Vege is good but disposable. Pumpkin yolk is very petit and special but cookie seems weird in a main dish.

Bunny: I hav to disagree about bear's opinion about the presence of the cookie. The pumpkin and the cookie help elevating the dishe's taste by adding another dimension. The pork is too rough, so the petite-ness of the gooey pumpkin tart thingy gives the taste a bit if quirkiness, which is a good thing.

Dark chocolate cake with crispy praline pecan nuts, chocolate ganache, almond milk "molecular" and lime sorbet.

Bear: Chocolate mix well with hazelnut crust at bottom as always. The 'almond milk molecular' thing is awkward. Lime sorbet doesn't match with choc, being sourish to the supposedly sweet chocolate.  

Bunny: I am not happy with the dessert, really. Z the lime is sour, the chocolate cake is bitter. How can u put them together? Ugh the bitter sour taste lingers in my mouth. They try to go for layers of different texture with the care. I appreciate that but the really, the mild taste of the cake should not go with the strong taste of the sorbet. It's not just awkward, it makes a disastrous end of its flow, washing away the customers' memories of the good dishes zzz

Bear: I smell a grumpy bunny >___<


Overall: Mixed review to this restaurant. I would like to praise the chef for his (or her, who knows?) effort in mixing and matching different ingredients to produce some of the finest dish I've had in France. I do liked some of them to be honest. Good effort there.

COMIC: NINJA BUNNY!!

Bear complained tat i am too fast and nimble especially when we r in the middle of a crowd. I nowadays always make a habit to stop and look back to make sure bear isnt too far off.

And he usually is lol.

My 2013: How i came out to my siblings

I have exams in the next two weeks and I haven study at all.

As i am getting ready to study, I shall give my brain a warm up by writing something abt last year.

Nope its not procrastinating. *looks away* No seriously.

So.... Obviously i cant write something specific since a guy tried to out me with my previous blog entries 6 months ago.

A... yup, there are a lot of major events last year, heck, there's tons of stuff happening last year and this is one of them tat serves enuf relevancy for this blogpost.

To old readers, or ppl who read the 'new comer pls read' tab, I hav an old blog a few months back where I suddenly closed it down for unknown reasons.

Well, its a simple scenario. Basically one guy suddenly fb msg my real life siblings THE LINK OF MY previous blog. And to make sure my siblings can identify me he deliberately combed through my archives and chose a post where i talked abt my family.

Well, he obviously has malicious means, since he created a new fb account with only 20 friends.

Though I hav a vague idea who it is, I hav no intention to prove it or take revenge, because he did a favor for me actually as all of my siblings are very receptive.

My sibling suddenly fb msg me out of the blue: bunny, someone gave me a link.

At tat point I understand wad had happened. I replied: Listen, don read it, let me say something.

My sibling: errr i read it already.

Bunny: well, u might as well hear it from me. Yes I am gay.

My sibling: a..... ok.

Bunny: that's it? Its pretty anticlimactic i gotta say -,-.

My sibling: Of course i want to ask u a few questions, but we will meet up soon anyway.

My other sibling:" Y on earth he want to barge into other ppl's business? Bunny, I am just scared for u cuz u know our family are wackos.

aaa....... so in a way its a blessing in disguise. =X Not tat i want to thank this fella.

He even tried to start a convo with them

Unknown dude: Blog of *my real name*   

My sibling: OH, thanks now i hav something to read hahhahahaa.

Unknown dude: Ur welcome. So u know he is gay?

My sibling: He tried to hint us from time to time. But its not a big deal (I was so touched when i read this. <3)

Unknown dude: ok. 

And tat's it.

I wonder if he have the "gosh, tat did not turn out as wad i expected" moment.

But anyway, me and my siblings are getting along quite well, they are now readers of this blog too (i think since i gave them my blog address)

My sibling who read my last blog:" Bunny ur blog actually quite interesting."

*beams with pride*

But anyway, i always thought tat it is an unspoken rule tat gay ppl are not meant to out other comrades. It's a huge no-no.

We all know how painful and hard it is. How the society views us. It is just wrong, I rather u assault me, but do not bring my family into this. It goes to show how apathetic the guy is, but I guess I cannot expect everyone to hold a code of morality. Everyone has a different perception of value of things.

I shall not retaliate because i do not want to sink to your level. It's a new year, I guess I can just say thank you for ur gesture, it spun my wheel of life a bit faster but this push has a good ending for me. If this brings this person satisfaction, then I guess it's a win-win situation. If the person feels guilty about this, well i hope he knows tat i kinda forgive him.

COMIC: ROLLER COASTER

I realised tat I grabbed his hand very very hard while we r doing the roller coaster. I feel a but bad abt it. But hey tats wad couples do right? =p

But really its the first time i go to for rides with bear. Or anyone who can hold my hands. I really think it helps. <3

ps: i draw the wrong side of the hand tat supposed to be painful lol

Paris restaurant venture: le violon d'ingres (one Michelin star)

Bear: As mentioned, we DID get a walk near the famous Eiffel tower, but we do so at the very late hours, so by the time we're done, its already near dinner time. Being the asian-tourists looking for food around the world-class tourist spot at around a Sunday dinner-time without any reservation, we're quite lucky to get a spot in this restaurant, le violon d'ingres by Christian Constant, after being turned away from 198639827091820381 other restaurants due to our lack of reservation.

Bunny: to be perfectly honest, we did not choose this restaurant, we were wet and grumpy and we jumped into this restaurant without giving much thought (after verifying it has a good ranking in trip advisor of course lol.) We did not know its a one star Michelin restaurant until we ordered out food and overheard other customers. 

(NB: Because the dishes on the tasting menu did not appeared the menu, we cannot get its proper name for some of the dishes. We named it based on what we remember on the description by the waiter.)

First dish: Lamb ravioli thingy 

Bear: The ravioli looks great, and to make it better they topped it with a heavenly creamy sauce (I would happily say that it is a cream-soup dish, but they insist that its just the sauce... i mean look at the picture, it flooded almost the entire ravioli!!!) There is no sign of lamb in it however, but I liked it for the soup sauce. 

Bunny: I have vague memories of the dish, but definitely no memories abt it being heavenly -,-. I only rmb dipping bread into the cream to curb my hunger since there's only one freaking ravioli in the dish. Granted tat its fine dining, so i cant really complain z. The cream is cheesy, tat is all i can say. 

Second dish: Scallop with a dash of ginger and lemon, served with Osciètre caviar, herring roe and grapefruit.

Bear: Refreshing combination... as in it tasted refreshing, but not surprising. Definitely not the first time I had scallops in such citrus based combinations, but I'm glad to eat this dish. Herring roe is nice~ Grapefruit tasted like grapefruit.
Bunny: Wad do u mean grape fruit taste like grape fruit? Does it suppose to taste like something else?

Bear: What I meant is that the grapefruit is there to taste like grapefruit, without aiding other ingredients of the dish. So its dispensable. 

Bunny: .... okay. Deep stuff there. First thing i gotta say is the presentation is pretty, there is quite an array of colours, and i am always a fan of floral decors. Taste however, its raw scallops, so basically it comes down to whether it is fresh or not, and given tat it is a Michelin restaurant, it has to be fresh enough. Then the blend of accompaniments and the scallops cones into factor. It is actually almost based on the same concept of adding lemon to raw oyster, to give a bit of zing. They try to make the zing unique, but really, you cant really stray too far away, I did not notice a huge difference. The roe is a nice touch though. 

Third dish: Soft boiled eggs rolled in breadcrumbs, truffled butter toasts. (proper name)

Bunny: ... Its an egg.

Bear: It's apparently the restaurant's (and the chef's) signature dish!

Bunny: Its still an egg... tat *checked ala carte menu* costs 25 euros!

Bear: That egg has its own webpage!! (link)

Bunny: ... I think Parisian never taste a soft boiled egg before, because it sure tasted like any soft boiled egg i hav eaten, with additional bread crumbs of course. -,-

Bear: I agree with bunny with this... it tasted like soft-boiled egg from cha-chan-ting (茶餐厅), but I think the breadcrumbs gave a great dash of saltiness to the egg... I must say its hard for the chef to maintain the egg's shape though, even when its soft-boiled. 

Bunny:.... It is STILL an egg. 

Forth dish: Freshwater perch mousse with light lemon sauce, butter savoy cabbage and Osciètre caviar. (proper name)

Bear: The mousse tasted like the... erm... lobster/crab's fatty meat? I liked it!! Nice cabbage to top it up, the sauce is creamy as well~ My only complain is that its too small of a portion >___<

Bunny: I really really don wanna seem negative throughout the whole tasting course, but really they not doing very good right now. The taste is too one dimensional. The texture might woo some Caucasians, but its like toufu so it certainly did not impress this Asian boy. Think: salty toufu with caviar on top, no synergy, no different taste, nothing. 

Fifth dish: Dombes duck roasted with almonds and pistachios, roasted pears with verveine. (proper name)

Bear: I don't like this dish. :( pistachio and duck... doesn't go well... poached pear and red wine sauce might be good with each other, but not when there's also duck-meat. A very complicated taste, and unfortunately not to my liking... 

Bunny: The presentation is weak in this one, but i appreciated the fact tat they try to accomplish the 'burst of flavours' epiphany. Not happening. I like duck meat, always do, i am however not a fan of poached pear. The taste is quite common, as u know duck always goes with red wine. The pistachio provides more of an annoyance than assistance. The duck is well cook though, and appropriately flavoured. 

Final dish: Vanilla Cream-filled napoleon cake with caramel drizzle.

Bear: The cake is so sweet... too sweet to be enjoyable.. :( the caramel makes it even sweeter, causing an overall sweetness overload... :( so... not a very good ending to the tasting menu... 

Bunny: I find the sweetness okay... la.... i think.... Basically it is like mille feuille on its side with cream on top. Vanilla cream.... with caramel. Not too creative aren't they? 

Conclusion:
Bunny: skip this one, unless u are a boiled egg fanatic, Or, just get the ala carte. -,- Plus the price (90 euros) is not attractive at all. 
Bear: I would be willing to go back for its ala carte menu actually, just to try on other signature dish of his... the crab and the fish (which is not on the tasting menu) looks nice~
Bunny: quite ironic, since a chef is suppose to add all of his best dishes into his tasting menu. z

New years wishes

Bla bla resolution, bla bla life bla bla epiphany, bla bla my year is so eventful humblebrag bla bla

Its 4.20 in the morning, i will write about those 2morrow, since it is a ceremonial thing for everyone, including yours truly.

Happy new year everyone.

You know, random quip, yesterday i was playing games until 5am in the morning while Bear was sleeping beside me. When I finished, I made a poor attempt to snuggle into Bear for warmth cuz it is getting cold. Then suddenly he gently hugged me and ran his hands up and down on my arm, trying to give me warmth.

All this, while he was in deep slumber.

As i snuggled, i could help but feeling blessed. Life is good.

again, hav a great year everyone. =D
