food and the native smurfs

today i realised my blog is full of boring words and sorely lacking in pictures. even as my readers are mostly intellectual, i have decided to insert PICTURES in this current post so as to freshen things up, for you and yours truly as well.

ok anyways i met up with the old friend (almost 2 yrs le) zhu awhile back (yeah i know i blog slow). wanted to bring the jap food fanatic to the place near hall (sakuraya) but realised it'll be too far from anything, so decided to introduce her to the more conveniently located Ichi Tei at sunshine plaza.

bentos are quite value for money and the sashimi decent too (zhu: sakuraya one more fresh). oh and it's near to the NAFA free art gallery so can drop by, pretend to be artsy and impress girls hahaha. i'm jesting.

mixed sashimi set! must try - nishin (herring w roe) sashimi which even SHE hadn't tried b4.
my salmon bento (tried my 2nd choice 2 days b4 so decided on this)

unagi bento (her's) - they make the teriyaki sauce themselves (v nice!)

oh and on the way we checked out the red mango yoghurt chain which we had read in the sunday Lifestyle about. looks nice right!

i kinda felt poor by then but felt like sitting down whilst waiting for Avatar 3D to start (watched the 2D one with friends le) so decided to go to Yakun. i really love eggs alot la (gf should know that fr the JB trip haha).

and we watched the native smurfs battle the mechwarriors in a movie which supposedly advocated some poorly-disguised save-the-forests message and which i am supposed to be more aware of the situation we're facing now in reality. but the reality is that i still dun care much, sadly.

to be very honest, i din really think the movie lived up to the hype or its billing as the top-grossing movie of all time. the character development and plot (which is damn impt to me) was mediocre at best, even though i have to agree that the general idea was believable and well-presented such that it had me immersed in the lush greenery and sights of Pandora for that 3 hrs.

ok i dun think you care much about my alternative opinion. i hoped you enjoyed the movie though.
