Dinner at Rakuzen

Yesterday, I went to eat Japanese food at Rakuzen! My mum and I went with one of the school's students and their mum. Normally, my mum would not have the oppurtinity to go out with her friends as she only finishes work at 6.45 and by that time she is way too tired to do anyting else. But so happen yesterday she finished at 6.00 and she had a few cancellations in between. It was a nice change for me too as I don't have to be at the school for almost 10 hours listening to the students' horrible playing(not all, just some), the elephants(there is a ballet school upstairs. I can't comprehend how one so small can make so much noise with each step) dancing upstairs and the construction of a new church just across the street. Anyway, this particularly Rakuzen outlet was located at Hartamas Shopping Centre. We made reservations earlier as this restaurant is usually packed at lunch and dinner time. Despite that, we had to wait for 15 minutes before our table was ready. I have never heard of let alone been to Rakuzen before so I was a bit sceptical of the food served there but turns out they have a huge variety of Japanese food from tempura to soba and the food is sooooo good! We each ordered our own set and picked at each others' food. I ordered a grilled fish set. Two hours later, we were all stuffed from the delicious food. I would highly recommend going to this restaurant to eat. Eventhough it is a bit pricy, it is really worth it.

Entry for 16/4/12 to 22/4/12

Late entry again. Ha ha! Sorry Pn. Monica.:( Last week or rather last weekend was exceptionally busy for me. First of all, I went to FRIM last Saturday. This trip was organized by the school's Science and Maths society. To tell you the truth, that trip to FRIM was my first school trip and it was so much FUN...and tiring. We hiked for about 3 hours in the forest. Thankfully, we had a guide, Dino, to show us around FRIM. He told us amazing facts about FRIM and pointed out some of the plants there such as the Liana tree, 'Tembaga Suasa' or Crinum asiaticum, 'Jelutong' or Dyera costulata and Ficus or Ara tree. We also saw the giant fish or arapaima and apparently it comes when it hears clapping. While Dino was showing us all of this, I was busy taking pictures and writing(well, typing actually) notes as instructed by Pn. Lim, our teacher advisor because this trip is suppose to be educational and we have to hand in a report about it in two weeks time. The most exciting part of this trip was the canopy walk. I have this little fear of canopy walk because a long time ago, I went to Bukit Bendera with my cousins and when we were on the canopy walk, they jumped on it making it sway. Despite that, I went on it so I would spoil the trip for everyone. The person in charge told us to walk in groups of five. Our group was the last to go but I was the first one in the group to get on the canopy walk. At first it wasn't so bad, but when I reached the second part of it, the wind blew and it started to sway! I quickly walked to the next platform. Miraculously, I manage to brave through it all. We reached school about 1.50. I got off the bus and walked to the nearby park with my friends to do our project. We finished around 3.45 and I went back to the music school as I had choir practice. My legs started to hurt after that due to our long hike in FRIM. Ok, I finished talking about Saturday. Now, about yesterday. My legs were still hurting but it was not as bad as the day before. My mum and I got to the music school around 2.00 to make sandwiches before our last choir practice for our performance in Sunway Pyramid. We made sandwiches because there were small kids singing with us and we figured that they were going to get hungry sooner or later. Anyway, we had our practice then left for Sunway Pyramid around 6.30. My stepdad had to bring our electric piano there because the people organizing the event could not provide a piano.O.o We performed at 8. It was so nice and entertaining to see and hear the small kids sing. Their voices are so small and cute! Their parents took a lot of pictures and videos as this is the first time their kids performed with us. We had better microphones than the last performance so the audience could hear us sing. According to some, the sound was much better this time. I don't know, I couldn't really hear myself sing on stage. There were no speakers facing us. After the performance, we went to Aunty Anne's to eat pretzels! That's all for now.

Entry for 26/3/12 to 15/4/12

I haven't been posting my entries for two weeks now because of several reasons. Firstly, a week after the drain incident, I had wind in my stomach for a whole day and could not go to school on thursday. I was a bit worried that my class teacher might not accept my letter on a friday but she did so my name was not called during assembly on monday(*phew*). Then, just last week, I caught a cold right after school on tuesday. I skipped school the next day. I went to school on thursday thinking that I was well enough but I had to go home early as I was still coughing really badly that I could not breathe properly for a while. I think is because I was in the hall during the first period and it was quite stuffy in there. Anyway, one thing happened after another so that is why I was unable to post an entry for the past two weeks. In addition to not feeling well, I am also very stressed up due to our funds for our pages in Nostalgia. I am in charge of making friendship bracelets and I am also helping Susan with her beaded animals. The order forms for the bracelets were only distributed yesterday, about 2 weeks after I got the strings. So, I can't start making the bracelets because eventhough I have the strings, I do not have any orders yet and according to Yi Lin and Mun Yan, I do not have all of the colours to make the frinedship bracelets. Mun Yan went to buy the rest of the strings today. Hopefully, I will get all the colours by tomorrow. I am getting really worried whether or not I have enough time to finish making all of the friendship bracelets. Well, the good thing about this month is I get to look forward to my Science and Mathematics club's FRIM trip next Saturday followed by Perfect Pitch Choir's performance that very same night in Sunway Pyramid. I hope I  will be well enough then to attend the FRIM trip as well as sing for the choir. Wish me luck! It is going to be quite an eventful month!
