Naam Thai - Review

This restaurant is at the new shopping area across the street from my apartment and I have been dying to try the Thai food there. Went there during my lunch break today and was quite disappointed. I knew I should have stuck with normal dishes such as a Pad Thai or something for their lunch set.









Soup of the day - Chicken broth with Winter Melon
(Tasted very watery)















This main tastes like Kung Pao Chicken
, I should have went to the corner 5rmb noodle shop instead.

Movie Connotations

Needless to say "The Wizard of Oz" is a classic of all time, I was re-watching it over the weekend(I believe I last saw it when I was 6 or something) And I was totally blown away how this movie that was made in 1939 and its effect on modern day life.

DID YOU KNOW...

"Home Sweet Home"
"Ding Dong the witch is dead"
"Munchkens"

were originated from this movie? And imagine the impact on the lessons-learned, the themes that is impeded on our minds...

-Cowardly Lion crying~~ It was sooooo cute..hehehe




I was also watching "Devi's Classroom", a Japanese short TV series this weekend. And there is 11 episodes in total and I was balling in EVERY episode. Lols!!! No, this is not an epic love story or like tragedy, its actually about a class of 6-graders challenging their home room teacher who is portrayed to be demonic. But actually she is trying to use a Socratic/hard times approach to let the kids learn their own lesson. I know the storyline is actually quite improbable but its one of those Dramas that would make you think , and during each episode when she's preaching, you'll find yourself nodding. Honestly are we really any better than 6 graders? We definitely should know better but are we really putting our utmost efforts to be a better person? Time to reflect on how many times we have took the easy way out, not holding up our principles, and time to think how many times we followed what everyone ELSE did and blaming the society for our wrong doings.

Yet another year~~















I was so curious about this object here, its a piece of a necklace (a gold cashew with diamonds inside the crack) First I was just amazed at why would someone make that as a piece of jewelery as I don't think it will have such a market, but when I knew that it was custom made, it made sense. I guess there is always a story behind things.















Yippee ..I got an NDSL for my bday...This picture should get into the Nintendo advertising campaign..looks like propaganda to me..Lol















Mmmm ..Potato & Scallion cake


Was kinda(UNDER-exageratted) disappointed going into my bday weekend, coz I didn't get the job I wanted eventho I feel like I tried my very very best. However, it turned out to be a great bday, I got lovely calls from EVERYONE in my family separately (Aww and dad kept asking me to buy myself a birthday cake) Then got tonnes of flashing msn windows when I got up to my computer, and also my fb wall is filled with bday wishes as well. I'm glad I have all u guys to show me that "hey maybe i'm not to shabby after all, at least I have a bunch of ppl that luves me" Thanks guys, you make getting yet another year older much more enjoyable. Lols
