Week 4; DANCING WITH THE JAPANESE + THAI FOOD!.

WAEYO!.

Spent quite a bit of Week 4 just chilling at home.

I'm typing this in Week 6 and I'm very sure it is now safe to say that it is unhealthy for me to stay at home this much.

I think I practically eat more than my brother does these days.

It's so bad. :(

Alright, enough about me and my problems with nom-ing.
Did a couple of things this week which made me quite happy. ^^

Had a small event/workshop thingie with a group of Japanese Students on an exchange program with the school.

Went with this group of lovely people (plus Sam who left early). ^^

Aisha, John & Jacinda.

We were invited to sit in for the Japanese group's performance/showcase on their culture..

But we had no idea that they were going to do a dance,

and that we actually had to learn and do it with them. :')

We were told to mingle around with them as we walked into the room,

but I just found it rather difficult, considering the fact that I am a rather reserved person who is always less likely to initiate conversations AND the fact there's a language barrier..?

But they were really, so friendly and just came up to us. :')

There were moments where we just went O.O and then kind of panic because we didn't really understand..

But 'twas all good!

It was also really enjoyable learning and dancing to one of their Japanese songs (JPOP, right?). ^^

They introduced the song and demonstrated it to us, saying "It's fun...and also very cute! ^^"

They were also super duper helpful and friendly throughout, making sure we weren't lost and pathetic. :'D

Here's the song, if you want to learn how to dance to it as well hahaha.

It's a really fun song! ^^

AKB48 - Fortune Cookie 

It actually makes me really happy when I listen to it, not sure why. :/

Anyway, it was then our turn to let them know about Deaf Culture in Singapore and teach them some alphabet and things!

In my experience (which isn't much at all, actually),

there's something about interacting, learning and teaching students from other countries..

They are so different from us;

so much more enthusiastic and willing to learn;

the look on their faces as they learn something new, their willingness to volunteer and take part in the activities planned for them..

It's rare to see that around here.

One of them even signed "I love you" to us as he was leaving the room after the session.

 I love these kind of sessions, although it's so short.

Thank you for reminding me why I enjoy doing the things that I always seem to land myself into.

I really do hope I will keep up my keenness in teaching as well as teaching as much as you lot do.

GANBATTE!. ^^ :)

Headed out with the Mum, Grandma & Broskii to lunch together later that week too.

Always a challenge just to get a selfie.

Weeeee~

Hehe, my Grandma is so cute. ^^

Been a while since I stepped foot into Nex.

Went to Bali Thai and ordered quite a bit of nomnomz.

Grilled Squid, Hotplate Beancurd, Seafood TomYum, Mango Salad..

White Rice, Thai Iced Tea, Mango (and Durian) Sticky Rice..

Yumz.

(Excuse le broskii's face there.)

Quite obvious that I was really pleased with the food. ~.~

Had a mini pun-off with le bro,

so these are the kind of things you'll hear if you sit with The Saids;

It mussel been hard to cook all these.

It's so hard to cuttlefish.

It's squid nice though.

Ya, it's quite tomyum-my.

Lettuce have our desserts now.

Let's chilli after this.

:'D

I love a good punny conversation. :')

Went into the interesting gift shop which sells many cute things and bro decided to get a mood ring. :'D

(Not sure what's gotten into him ahahah.)

So basically, the ring changes colour according to your emotions/mood.

He started wearing it and it remained green the whole time.

He also tried quite hard to change the colour by "controlling/changing" his mood, yet nothing happened. :'D

However, the moment he lent it to me (because I wanted to try it),

it changed into this purplish colour.

HA, take that. ~.~

Forgot what purple meant, though.

At one point later on, it also changed to a colour where it meant that he "is in love" when he wore it. :'D

"Do not deny the mood ring."

Ahahahahahah okay too much fun about a mood ring. :/ :x

We ended up landing ourselves in Cotton On as our last stop after rounding the mall (which was quite a big outlet here).

 I have a love-hate relationship with Cotton On,

I actually quite like some of their stuff (especially if they're on sale) ((especially, especially if their basics are on sale)), so you'll find that I have quite a bit of their stuff on me all the time. :')

Anyways, picked some stuff out for the bro because he wanted some new stuff.

Must say it was pretty fun, because he's always in basics.

(Well, I am too, but that's not the point.)

And then suddenly, I turned around and saw Mum just holding these three watermelon-related item and looking really excited hahaha. :'D
Oh, Mum, you're so cute and you know me too well. ^^

 

They are a mini beany-bolster, a make up/accessories hanger pouch thing and a case for glasses.

Did end up purchasing them, though.

'll show you what I filled the hanger pouch with if I do remember to do so.

Also, it was the case was quite handy since I just purchased my first pair of sunglasses that day too!

've never had a pair, ever, because I always feel that they do not sit on or compliment the shape of my face well at all.

But we'll see. ^^

So yes, that was quite a lovely day! :)

This week's cooking consists of a little cheat..

CP Honey Chikkin Wings (CP is the brand lol).

I love their Honey Wings, although I feel that sometimes it smells a little sour. :/

Left it in the foil because why not.

Pizza Tails cocktail sausages from Handwerker, which was a new find.

They even have halal veal sausages, mozzarella sausages etc..

These ones were Pizza flavored, as you can already probably tell :')

The bro really likes it too.

So yay for good halal stuff!! ^^ 

 One of my attempts at a "healthier"dinner.

Lettuce wraps = Beef cooked with Hoisin Sauce + Corn. :)

Lastly, constructed (haha) some scones because the Mum wanted some. :>

Honestly think that this was one of the better batches I've made so far!

 Probably thanks to the recipe. ^^ :)

We're almost one month done with the holidays. :(

Oh how very sad is that. :'(

Doing something quite nice tomorrow with 4/5 of The Saids tomorrow, though.

You probably wont see it until about 2 posts later hehe. :>

Hope you guys have a great, great rest-of-the-week!

Keep smiling. :)

Du vet jeg elsker deg.

Goodbye
