Ajitei

Well, this place caught my attention because of it’s dark concept from the outside. So I manage to have a meal today with my girl, where it is located at Parco Bugis Junction. If only I had known earlier that this was from Ajisen, then I wouldn’t have ate at this place. Somehow, I’m always against Ajisen because their ramen just taste like cup noodles.

Well, so I didn’t eat the noodles but I ordered something else. For today, I ordered pork wrap with asparagus, salmon sashimi, fried tofu, and a curry cutlet set whereas my girl ordered some noodle with a grilled patty of mixed potato and chicken. Well, I believe all these dishes here that I have ordered are somewhat to cravings today but then it has also gave me the alertness to be prepared for disappointment. Anyway, before commenting on the food, I would say that their service is warm and friendly. =).

Now back to the food. The sashimi was fresh definitely, and the portion of rice and cutlet that they serve for the curry cutlet rice set was just humongous, I still feel full from the lunch right now when I’m suppose to have my dinner soon. The pork wrap with asparagus was cool, just that the sauce was a tad salty. The fried tofu wasn’t that amazing because it’s not that hot in the inside. My girl felt the wrath of the not so great ramen that they have. But the patty that they have would definitely be a hit to the kids. Chewable and tasty, the sauce just mixes well with it though. Haha. I would say that if you have to be at Ajitei, do try the dessert as they have loads of desserts at their disposal. And they look all too sumptuous. I didn’t have mine because I was too full from all the food I had from brunch.

Overall, I would say that this would be a one off experience, not because I have eaten Sushi Tei too many times, but I think for this restaurant, their menu must improve. It looks rather shabby. Like a hawker centre menu, which doesn’t really help when you enter into a restaurant witha decent ambience. Again, I wouldn’t wish to go back here, just hoping that no one calls me to enter this place just because they have to celebrate their birthday there.

Chinese Birthday?

Apparently, I do not really bother about my chinese birthday until my mum always mentions to me on the day itself. Like today. She will go “you gotta eat that bowl of mee sua and that red egg for your chinese birthday today”. And this nagging will continue for a few more minutes before she will officially leave me alone with that bowl of noodles.

The thought of my birthday just makes me feel bored. Why? It’s also one of the times where I have to spend money. Sometimes I don’t wish to spend money on my birthday but somehow that is technically impossible. I admit, I like presents, but my past presents have been red packets, which I think it will make me want to save the money instead of spend. I know it would be fantastic to save money, but I wish I can have something that I want or need so much and have it for free. Oh well, it’s like a lifetime desire. My gifts normally comes from my girl only.

But sometimes, I must understand that all my friends ain’t Paris Hiltons or Nicole Richies. And I must accept the fact that I’m happy with what I have. Hopefully my life will turn into something better in the future. Please let there be more cash flow. =)

The Colour of Life

Now? I guess it’s just a mixed of black, white, grey. But I do wish to see colours in my life. Not that I’m vision impaired, but it’s just that I’m not working, having fun slacking and out with my girl and friends, it just doesn’t really bother me at the moment that I’m lacking money. And I do really need some holiday to let me feel happy for a while before I get back to the freaking workforce that pays us so little and increasing every amount of payments that we can make.

To me, anything that has colour is colourful. Maybe it’s because that I’m not very fussy about anything in life but I feel rather happy go lucky all the time. That won’t help if I dwell on it in the near future. But when I have no money getting in my pockets, I feel that the output is rather fast and constant. Yes, you would think that it’s me that I’m making myself spend money because I’m going out all the time. If that’s the case, then find something for me to do at home. Work from home? I think it’s a scam.

Actually, now in life, there’s colours everywhere, with a shade of grey behind everything. It’s like a silhouette, except that with the base filled with colours and the outline in grey. There are many ways that we can really depict and explain life. How and what we mention about it is as unique as it can get. The norm will be “normal, bored, fine”. But the exceptional will be like “fantastic, sombre, monotonous”. I’m not saying that I’m sombre now, but it’s between sombre and fantastic. Nothing really makes me happy at the moment. There are many things that are happening next month, which I didn’t really want to bother. Don’t ask why. It’s another life that I must drag across.

On the other side of my brain, Hope is actually dragging me out of the bottomless pit of misery. Telling me that there’s got to be more than just what you see in life. Like beyond the sand dunes in the desert lies more than just an oasis. Like beyond the ocean waters lies more than just an island. Like beyond the thunderstorm clouds lies more than just the Sun. And I did explore in life, finding out that it’s quite a daunting task. But that was when I was younger, when inexperience was they key to all failures. But now, I stand firm and different from before. Because, you will only have colours in your life if you put the colours into you own life by your own hands. In other words, you are what you live. So improve it, or don’t complain. =)
