First of all, I HATE THE DUMB VOLCANO!!!

X is now stuck in Milan because of the Europe airports shutdown due to all the volcanic ash floating in the skies. I know I'm not the only one in the entire world affected so I shouldn't be so whiny but it really sucks cuz he was supposed to be back yesterday morning but now it remains to be seen if he can even make it back on Wednesday. *sigh*

We've been 'skype-ing' with each other whenever possible so its not that bad though the frustration is mounting. We're supposed to go for our Taipei trip this Sunday & now I'm even wondering if that would be affected cuz in my worst case scenario, he might still be stuck there.

Anyways, I know that an act of God cannot be helped. I know he is frustrated too, perhaps even more than I am so I just want him to come back safe and sound.

Meanwhile...my cousin brought her kids to my place for dinner yesterday and look how cute Amber is!

16-4-2010: Met my sis for some shopping+dinner after work. We settled for Ramen Ten which as usual, made an okay meal if you're not too fussy or expect too much-_-" I told X that I will never subject him to eating Ramen Ten because I know that would be like sending him to ramen hell & I do agree that their noodles are substandard but I'm just not that 'quality' conscious as long as the food fills my stomach.

Since they were having a 50% off second ramen for POSB/DBS cards, I ordered the most expensive item on the menu which is the 'abalone ramen' so the little white pieces of things that resemble fishcakes are actually 'abalone'. Wahaha...and FYI, my soup was green in color though it doesn't show in my picture. The taste was quite normal though, just that the color was a turn-off.

A much better ramen but not really top on my list was Ippudo @ Mandarin Gallery. I won't bother saying too much since there have been alot of reviews done on the place already. The one gripe I had was their soup, which had a weird 'egg-y' taste that I can't really describe. Once you get past that, everything is ok but not exactly superb.


On the plus side their cha-shu pork bun was yummy! But its kinda ironic to be raving about the restaurant's buns when ramen is supposed to be their specialty.

That's all for now, til X comes back.

Been feeling crappy these few days because of some annoying skin problems=(

At first glance my face looks fine but since I've always had pretty good skin, the appearance of 3 little stubborn bumps near my nose REALLY bothers me. Plus it's even more annoying when I can't tell what it is - they're not pimples definitely. They could be clogged pores but whatever it is, no amount of scrubbing, deep cleansing masks has helped so far therefore I've made an appt to see a super expensive aesthetic doctor tmr. I hope he or she can help. *fingers crossed* I know X is not very pleased cuz he probably thinks I'm making a mountain out of a molehill but what do men know? We wanna look good for them and they don't even appreciate our efforts. Bah!

Anyway I went shopping with sis today and despite my solemn vows not to spend anymore $$, I still came home with a dress, a pair of flats and a hairband (which happened to match my dress!). *sigh* I need to hibernate at home in order to prevent myself from spending recklessly, esp for this month. I have to pay a pretty hefty credit card bill this month, on top of the cost of a trip to Taipei end of this month, and I haven't even included the expenses likely to be incurred on the trip later on=/ Plus I have no idea how much I might need to spend to get my skin treated. I just wanna get rid of the damned bumps! Money isn't really an object when it comes to good skin ok.

*The disappointment I can handle, but not the pain.*
