Konnichiwa, ima fukuoka ni imasu!!
So last friday I was in 4 cities in a day...Singapore, Hongkong, Taipei and Fukuoka. It has been a tiring March. And the trip was exhaustive but I was glad for the surprise secret plot. I was glad to be by their sides and I was glad to be able to pay my respects to obaachan.

Straits Chinese Restaurant
The straits chinese restaurant had been in UIC building for a very long time... didn't discover this restaurant until Mr Santa gave me my farewell lunchie there. The place was crowded with working people and also tour groups. Food is rather tasty, and I like their sambal chili sauce and their appetisers - Sambal Timun. Yummy!!

Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant
This was twinny's treat @ newly renovated Nanxiang Steamed Bun. My previous experience here was not very good and I had found the food not the least to my liking. I was rather hesitant to give it a second go if not for Twinny's insistence. The new deco though made the whole place look more sleek and modern, gave me a sense of poor space management arrangement. Every seats and space were heavily crammed and squeezed, giving it a rather unpleasant seating capacity due to its bulky "carriages". To Moi, it serves no purpose since the place was small and it will be impossible to enjoy the privacy and quietness the "carriages" were meant to serve.
That apart, Moi was rather impressed with the much improved service and food. The food was no where of the old Nanxiang when it was something you were ate once and never return. The food had definitely improved compared to previous. Moi's favourites were the crab roe soup in prawn ball, the homemade beancurd and the golden pumpkin cakes. It was a rather refreshing and unexpected combination and the taste went rather well with myself. Mummy Teddy Bear was all up and enthusiastic about the trying out the special sauce smoked fish. First, Moi was never a fan of any fishes and the idea of serving the smoked fish in chilled condition brought out the "fishy" smell which I hated. The cinnamon flower sticky cake was Mummy's favourite, Moi had not much liking to it.
Nevertheless, must thank sweet twinny for the treat. It was with rare occasion when family comes together.

Transition
I am in the midst of transiting... It's really a very confusing and "draining" feeling - mixture of happiness, anticipation, sadness, emptiness and fear. Yes!! Fear!! Fear of the coming out from my too comfort circle, fear of the unknown future and yet the excitement of facing the new future and life with my new "coaster". I even crafted a few notebooks and a lanyard for my new job. And had booked my lunch appointments with friends next month at my new place. Well it's may sounds a little exaggerating but I was that EXCITED!!!
But first let me get my office portable harddisk fixed... and no thanks to Uncle SuSe who commented that I was being such a chor lor to broke the USB point. Anyway I am going to fix it up ALL MYSELF by hook or crook!! SNORT!!
AND CLEAR my MOUNTAIN OF WORK Before my EXIT. * Heaved BIG Sigh! *
Post Edit
Managed to change the casing BUT I cant get my office laptop to "detect" it!! GRRR!! So now I am opening my ibook and to share the harddisk with my office laptop as I dun have some of the applications on my ibook. GRRRRRRRRRR!! Irritating!!
