Shabu Shabu~

arranged a mini class outing with a few of them before sch reopened the following wk. it was a much anticipated foodie outing especially for ME!! :p it is really cheap (in my opinion) since we were paying "student price" which was $15.99++. it was a fun experience with good food. the food was pretty fresh but the shortfall is that each person is only entitled to one box of beef (as shown above) :( i would love to have more beef although the other food was pretty decent and appetitizing especially their sausages, soba, vercemilli, pork loins etc. soup base chosen was spicy and miso. the spicy soup is amazing and it simply works wonders for me and most of them. i enjoyed my meal with soba and spicy soup plus the enoki and seaweeds. NICE~

i think the most important part in complementing good food is GOOD COMPANY!! yesh~ i'm starting to reap the benefits and understand the importance of forging strong bonds with various types of people and friends. it takes 2 to clap and sometimes we all get so coped up with our agendas that we neglect this area.

i was in the car with a good friend and we were talking about careers, friends and life after we all graduate in a yr's time. i love the way he says that lets continue to go out and meet up all that after that. this guy is one friend i will want to continue to be friends, if possible for a long long time. he really doesn't know the word "boundaries". i know for only a couple of times, he has introduced me to his own circle of influence and i'm simply appalled and touched by his actions. really, takes my breath away.

i've seen so much in my life, how were they good friends for a good period of time, shared the same interests, having the same preferences, shopping habits etc and all of the sudden, simply not being able to accept one's opinions and truths and begins to sow contempt. this past months, through my life, i've learnt the importance of holding my peace which has slowly become an attribute for my life. an outspoken person i am and yet this little thing of holding an individual's peace is so often being neglected.

anyway, cut u guys some slack :p lets go eat soon... which will be this coming 21st! =X
