Shin Kushiya

Glorious food! Simply delectable! Savoury spread! OH MY GOD GOOD FOOD!

Shin Kushiya is this Japanese reataurant at Suntec, next to Harry’s Bar and it’s just a short walk after you leave the escalator leading up to Suntec. So what’s special about this place is the yakitori – Japanese satay in other words. I tell you, the food was really so awesome. We ordered this set of skewers that had beef, rice, chicken, pork, prawns and mushrooms. WOW! Each bite the both of us took, we were practically gushing over how damn good the food was. The flavour literally melts in your mouth and it’s just heavenly! Zhikang is such a ‘food connoisseur’ and he was falling in love with the food as well. Nice ambience also, and the service is good. As Zhikang puts it, “They’re there when you need them but they don’t hover”. Overall, it was a really good experience.

Before dinner proper, we went to TCC to have some small bites because I skipped lunch. I ordered this coffee frappuccino of almond, caramel and coffee (recommended by him)– wooo! Nice! Comparable to the Starbucks Java Chip that I adore. Man, who knows, maybe I’m on my way to learning to drink coffee. Thank goodness I’m not hooked on it yet! It’ll cost a bomb. And Zhikang also ordered this seafood platter which was DELICIOUS! I’m not a big fan of seafood but the sotong and shrimps were too good to resist! You should go try it someday too! Oh yes, and after that, in order to digest the food before dinner, we walked to Carrefour because he wanted to buy coffee beans to brew his own cuppa at home. There, the strawberries were going at $2.95 per punnet! Too good a deal to resist – we both called home; his mum requested 2 punnets and my mum wanted 4. We decided to share one punnet before dinner so there we were, without a basket, grasping 6 punnets between us. Haha, hilarious sight – what typical Singaporean style. We sat down by the fountain feature in Suntec next to Promod to eat the strawberries, which tasted super good, and it was a new thing to do man. Going out with Zhikang always entails SUPER GOOD FOOD, somehow. Haha! =D

Oh, and on my way out to run some errands before I met Zhikang, I bumped into a couple of my students. WAHHH. Dangerous man, I gotta start observing some sense of propriety 24/7 when I’m out already, not that I’m attuned to audacious acts of sorts. I’m just saying. You know, Yeah~ Once again, Dangerous...

So this morning, I went to pray for my other grandfather, from my Mum’s side. Thankfully, this one is at Tanah Merah so there was no need to wake up really early. After praying, my Dad popped by school to have his discussion about the alumni gathering so I accompanied my Mum to Eastpoint to walk a little. There, I bought this book on Drawing! IT IS A VERY FUN BOOK! There’re so many drawings of all sorts of different things, it’s gonna be my source of entertainment during school hours when I have nothing to do man. But the downside is that the book’s pretty heavy so it would mean I gotta lug it about.

I went to my Grandma’s house for lunch today and my older cousins and her fiancé dropped by to have lunch too. So we were talking about my uni admission, and where to go after. Her fiancé kept asking me questions like where do I see myself ten years down the road, how many routes can I go from the course I want to take. He also mentioned that he has friends who graduated from this course and they’re not happy where they ended up, stuff like that. Sounds so scary! Luckily my cousin stepped in and rebuked him, saying how does he expect kids my age to think so far and she also mentioned she thinks the course suits me. That was a BIG BIG consolation! Sigh, it gets so intimidating knowing I’m gonna enter the real world so soon yet I still don’t exactly know what I truly want to do. So what if I’ve already been accepted into a couple of universities? I still don’t know what exactly it is I want.

But that is not a crime right, is it?
