i know it's too late to regret or cry over spilled milk now. too late. still thinking about appealing but i don't really want to hold so much hope. well. what's over is over and i hope i make myself even better this time round. nobody likes to fail. i don't wanna fail either but well.. there's always a FIRST time.

*

i am gonna be random again because this is the mood i am in now.
i don't wanna recall the exact details. don't ask me which place, what time and when was that. i just wanna share/show some of the pictures, so just see the pictures okay?

it was 9.7 degree celsius at one of the first rest stop.

crappy/crabby lunch. with jokes by a pri. sch. girl.


it's all crab. but i like this meal. simple and nice and filling. no need to dig the crab meat myself. hees. it's all dug out for us!

~the no-enemy ramen.

the signboard.


it is actually quite a small restaurant with only about 20 bar-top seats.

description placed just at entrance.


tell you this tell you that first. hees.

next came the real thing.


the soup was very different from what i had before. it was yummy. we had to slurp the noddles loudly to show appreciation and that it was oiishii!!!

the inside of the restaurant.


we just turned around and took this picture. see... the place is really small and cramped up. but nevertheless. there is always long queue outside the restaurant..

*

the STRAWBERRY FARM!
i personally don't like strawberries because they are sour and i can't really take/stand sour stuff but this trip to the strawberry farm made me LOVE strawberries!!! they are not in the least sour! they are yummyliciously SWEEEEEEEEEET~ yums.





don't be deceived by it's looks. it is a FU*KING SWEET lil thing. SWEET/SUI- AH!

some colorful combination of flowers/plantings near the farm.


my grandma will like this picture because got flowers means nice.

cherry cherry blossoms!




under the cherry blossom tree with my "kor kor".

note: next time when you offer someone to take picture for them under a cherry blossom tree, please take more of the cherry blossoms than the people!!! the main character is supposed to be the cherry blossoms not the two of us! but still, thanx very much. heng ah. at least got some of the cherry blossoms..

*

spring springy water!




look at this guy! he got like 8 bottles to fill! all 1.5litres one lei! wa piang wei. this spring water is good stuff i reckon. it is further confirmed because one of the family on the tour bought like 5 containers (not water bottles) where each one can contain 5 litres of spring water. i nearly faint.

at the temple. we pray pray to the goddess of mercy..




i bought this stick and wrote my name so that the monks can pray for my family to be safe. and of course, i prayed for all my dear friends. those working, in army, studying, in relationship and blah blah blah..world peace of course. and i prayed for Zhen Cong Ming too! for his.. (secret) sorry ran i didn't get you the charm. but i prayed with all my heart for you lei. hees.
