#39 - Did you say food?

Yknow, after taking my last paper, I somehow don't get the feeling that I am on a holiday. I mean, I sleep in late and wake up when the sun has risen past the buildings but I don't feel free. I figure it's because I have interviews coming and meetings for FYP thus the feels. Anyhoo, I really miss Tiong Bahru and all the great spots that are so picture perfect. oh, not to mention the FOOD; 'cos like helloooo when you're Singaporean, food is essential and food is life. Here's part II of the trip!

# 16 - Quick update x Burnin' x Playlist

Hey it's been 2 weeks since I lasted posted. So, how's it going?

Quick update : (before I dive into my relaxing day at the beach)
I've just finished my performance for a module and I'm so relieved + glad that it was over. Most importantly, it was a success because we actually made the audience laugh and kept the pace going yknow. :') Thankful for my team mates who stuck by. You guys know who you are! <3 x

Also, I'm almost done with all my modules which is also another good thing because I wouldn't have to do any more RJs at least for a few weeks. However, my last stretch of exams are 'round the corner so I might not be posting for a long time. Not that I post everytime...but... yeahh..

Oh, one more thing! I'm feeling excited to receive Glasshouse merchandise cos I bought them! They are nicely designed and pretty. I'm not paid to do this but do support The Sam Willows through contributing to their Glasshouse MV! Their still short on their goal but if everyone just chip in a bit, I'm sure they can reach it!

***DISCLAIMER : I FORESEE THAT I WOULD BE SAYING BBQ A LOT. ***

So, on the 8th of August just a day before Singapore's National Day, my family and I decided to have a BBQ by the beach. It's been on my mum's mind for a while to have a BBQ with a portable pit and we finally did! In the morning, our family went to get ingredients like prawns, sausages, bacon and corn etc. Then, we took a cab and went to East Coast Park.

The weather wasn't what we wanted it to be because my dad actually checked the weather forecast and it was SUPPOSED to be sunny. *starts singing Fort Minor's - Where'd You Go and looks out into the horizon* Anywayyyy, we had to wait it out so instead of having BBQ for lunch, we had it for dinner.

We sat on a table facing the sea and BBQ-ed our food. It was funny because we sat right in front of the huge BBQ pit where you have to book in advance while we just like sit down and *BAM* BBQ. The whole time when we were there, the people BBQ-ing behind us were looking at us. It's the kind of "Oh your puny BBQ set ain't gon cook nuthin' " look but hey, we still succeeded.

Me, mum and bro packed corn, mushroom + capsicum kebab, fresh salad, sausages, bacon and prawns! It doesn't sound like much but by the time we ended the BBQ, I was soooo full that I almost exploded. Literally.

It wasn't too hot and neither was it too windy. The weather was perfect for a BBQ and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food turned out better than I'd expected in fact, it was delicious! MMMMMM :P

(I think they are Portobello mushrooms? Sorry, not a food connoisseur nor expert at recognising mushroom types. I poked a satay stick into the mushroom together with capsicums. In the background are the butter prawns and on the right are the sausages bought from the supermarket)

(cookin' up some butter prawnsssszx)

That kinda sums up the day cos right after that, we went back home, watched some TV and went to bed! Basically, a really chill day ;) The next time you ever think of having a BBQ with some friends or your family, THINK SMART, GO PORTABLE.  - HAHAHA that was actually a good catchphrase.

So, as always, thanks for reading! x

#8 - iRecommend

On the blog today, I'll be recommending a variety show which I was being recommended by Kerencia!

I cannot tell you how much I love children so when she told me that such a show existed, I wouldn't stop watching it.

Introducing....

(all images from Tumblr & Google)

Also known in English as "Dad, Where Are You Going?"

So a little bit about the show first. It revolves around 5 celebrity dad's with their kids going on a weekend vacation to places in Korea. So, the main aim is for the kids to spend time with their busy dad's and for the dad's to spend time to get to know their kids more. One interesting activity is for the kids to gather ingredients around the village/markets and when their back, the dad's would then attempt to cook dinner for the kids as well as for themselves. So interesting right?! :)

Like I mentioned earlier, I absolutely LOVE kids so let's talk about my favourite kid first!

This is Yoon Hoo aka Hoo~
He is absolutely adorbz. Such a chatty kid and so innocently cute! He loves to eat thus the chubby cheeks and he also has a certain liking for Ji Ah who is also one of the kid's in this show. He seldom gets sulky so most of the time he is a chipper child :)



This cutie's name is Junsu. I love this kid because he is so silly like he loves to fool around and he is always smiling! Another thing I really like about him is the fact that he always does the opposite and what I mean by that is he doesn't do what all the other kids do. For example in one episode, when the other kids did snow sleighing sitting down, he did it lying down on his tummy!



Flower boy Joon~ I think he will grow up to be a pretty boy cos he's really good looking. (Noona has a crush on you~) HAHAHAHA I think out of all the kids, he is the coolest as well because he doesn't mind the hardship and always appreciates what he has. Not only that, I think he is a smart and caring oppa to his dongsaengs :) xx



Min Guk hyung! (couldn't find a gif though) Oldest amongst all the kids. Even though he is the oldest, he whines a lot. He is really caring and a loyal boy. I also feel that he takes the initiative like whenever the PD hands something out, he will be the first to come out and take it! However, when it comes to a bit of hardship, he starts whining. I think he does have the potential to lead so all he needs is just more time as well as training.

Last but not least!



Ji Ah! Who is the only girl in the group. Can you spot the similarity between this show and Running Man? HAHA I think Ji Ah is really cute and it's obvious that she is a daddy's girl. She is also outgoing and a really nice girl who gets caught up in animals and shopping!

---

So far, I've been really enjoying the show and so does my mum! Kids never fail to make my day because they're just so cute and innocent! Sometimes, I really wish I was a kid all over again so I don't have to worry about anything. Butttt that's life, we all have to grow up sooner or later.

Anyway, if you've watched it, which is your favourite kid and why? If you haven't, don't worry there are some websites that have the links up in English subbing :)

Thanks for reading, x! :)
