Walnut Tree Korean Restaurant Part 2

After the previous visit to Walnut Tree Korean Restaurant at Everton Park, I went back there thrice. So you can imagine how much I love the food there.

I think they updated their menu so they have more food now. They now sell pancakes!

Rice with Beef

Not a fan of beef so I didn't try the beef but I tried the rice and it was flavourful.

Kimchi Pancake - $10

I'm not good at describing food but their kimchi pancake is super good. A little crispy on the outside and it tastes just so yummy. And it is not expensive too, compared to the other Korean restaurants in Singapore.

 

This will be super good for you if you like cold noodles. I like it, especially since it is spicy. The egg soup is very mild in taste but still nice to drink. 

I think all their dishes really taste very good, I love almost everything there and always craving for more. If you ask me what I think is not worth it there,  I will say the yuzhu drink because it's quite expensive at $3 (if I remember correctly) and it was quite diluted when I had it previously. Also, the ramen? It's yummy but it is still just instant noodle afterall. 

I wonder when will I be able to go back there again, especially after I leave. Too bad they don't open till late.  

Today I had my last Saturday class. 

Japan - Odaiba

It has been more than one year since I returned from Japan, but let me continue my Japan blogposts. One last one on Odaiba.

I went to Odaiba twice and I actually had different things to do both times I were there.

 Bought the one day ticket that can let you have unlimited rides on the train within Odaiba. Odaiba to me feels abit like a smaller version of sentosa.

 Found myself in USA after that.

 Took the boat out to I forgot where. If deciding to take the boat before hand, I think it goes to more touristy places but we just took the one with the more convenient timing.

 My tattoo stockings for the day. Like not very nice eh. You may think Japanese people are very used to or open to this type of fashion, but such things still attract stares from people. I can feel people looking at my tattoo leggings.

 From the ride, I can spot tokyo tower

 And also the newer tokyo skytree.

 

Escaped to the lower cabin of the train because it can get abit giddy on the upper deck. Lower deck has better atmosphere and away from the sun.

 

Bought super a lot of Kit Kats in all types of flavours on that day too.

Still have to take photo with statue of liberty second time there. Closest I can be to be in USA.
How do you like the double ribbon on my hair. The things I do when I am overseas.

 I forgot how it taste but I guess it tasted good.

Spider-women

This is the crocodile slamming game. Not bad not bad, we almost beat the high score, or did we actually beat the high score? Can't figure out the japanese.

 One more picture with the statue of liberty with Muihong. She bought a selfie stick for our Aussie trip so we don't have to ask people to take photos for us. Lol, let's see.

 Lol, this plant looked super vulgar to me which is why I took a picture of it.

Walk around and we saw super cute cars on display.

Pikachu Car

 Wtf, this pikachu car is super cute. I would love to drive it.

 Another pokemon car. I was trying to imitate the pikachu on the car. How does Japanese comes out with this kind of uber cute designs.

Hello Kitty Land

 Super cute pastel colour cabins on the ferris wheel.

 Seems like we will always take the ferris wheel when we are overseas. We took one in Taipei and now in Japan.

Blue heart surprise!

Surprise from the top of the ferris wheel.

There is a Ramen city in Odaiba but I forgot which shopping mall which serve lots of different Ramen. I love noodles!

When in Odaiba Japan, take their neoprints. It is MAGIC! Super love how their neoprints come out. Free photoshop + plastic surgery.

Recently in the dilemma if I should cut bangs. Sometimes I think bangs look cute, sometimes I think it makes my face look damn round like the moon (like my graduation photoshoot photo). Majority says I shouldn't cut though. I think maybe I will just have a longer fringe not the straight bangs.

Mixed emotions

I think some people, no alot of people,  will judge me because of my decision to leave since I haven't been there for long. What spark off my decision was not because of the job scope (it's quite free actually... For me :/) or the pay or the benefits (they have quite good benefits) or the people I work with on a daily basis or come into contact with, although some of the job scope do stress me out because of my personality, actually I was quite happy with what I am doing (although sometimes they drive me crazy, I am still generally happy) , it was because of her. It may not be what ultimately led to the decision but it was what spark off the idea that I need to leave. 

Actually I'm writing this because I want to remind myself why I decided to leave during times when I feel guilty for leaving. 

I have no idea why but she always makes me feel so stress that I'm always in tense situation, I will feel stress checking my email, thinking that she will sent me an email to blast me and my heart will always skip a beat when I receive an email. Then there was this week where I kept getting blasted because of the videos and plans that I sent her. I got so stress that for the whole week I was having stomach cramps. Then when I talked to others I realized that my job was kind of affecting my physical health so I started to have thoughts about leaving, since every time I rant about my work I always feel tears in my eyes. Because of the fear she drive into my brain, I broke down twice at work. 

Yeah I know, maybe I'm just weak mentally, but this is the first time I experience such emotions at work.

Plus I feel that she really dislike me, or my personality.  She feels that I don't interact enough with the people in the company especially those from another branch and I'm always nervous when I meet her (which I admit I am, but I really cannot help it). I felt that no matter how hard I tried to interact with the people from another branch, at least those I come into closer contact with,  to her I'm not trying hard enough. 

I also hate the sales pressure I get from the job.  Although there may not really be sales involved, but being a profit motivated company, profit is always important. Then there are the people comparing how many hours each of us are doing.  Even though they may say the profit and hours is not the main thing,  from the actions is not true.  Especially what she said when i said I wanted to resign.  Sometimes it is really not up to us to decide our hours cause there is alot of other factors.  Then before every term stress I have to be stress again, haha and also the first session (but that is my problem). Then because parents pay so much, I also get stress when I see them not improving fast enough.  

Of course, escaping here may not be the best solution but we will never know if I will find happiness somewhere else until I leave. 

When I started to consider to leave, other factors will come in to convince me I should leave. Take for example,  my pay.  When other people earning 3k or more  complain about their pay,  im like my take home pay isn't even 2k.  Pay shouldn't be everything it is something. Slowly I realized is not just a small gap,  it is actually a big gap. Last time I used to think having a low pay is okay, but when we start to compare it will affect you. You will realize I can't save as much,  I can't buy as many things... Of course I also know that we shouldn't always be comparing with others.  Ren bi ren qi si ren. 

The people I really feel bad about leaving is the kids and the parents especially now when the parents say something nice or the children do something nice. Haha but when they act like devils.... 

Sometimes I do think,  am I asking for too much. 

Happy Birthday Singapore

Today is Singapore's birthday. 

I was watching the ndp just now. Listening to all the national day songs make me emo and makes me want to cry.  It really makes me proud and happy to be a Singaporean. Is like you will feel connected with all the other Singaporeans and there will always be somebody supporting you here, a place I call home. NDP songs really help bring people together and touch our hearts. 

Just now when l saw Lee Kuan Yew on tv and I felt a tinge of sadness. Shui yue bu rao ren. 

Singaporeans,  including me,  always complain about our lives here. If we look at it,  Singapore have really come a long way. I guess our complaining is just our way of ranting about daily lives and looking for someone to blame.  We always want the best in our lives. Things always work both ways, we need to give up something to get another.  More often than not,  we don't get the best of both worlds. Sometimes, I also do see where people's complains are coming from.  However,  we always forgot to look back and feel thankful for what we have today.

Happy Birthday Singapore! (oops seems like I'm a bit late)

Mandom Warehouse Sale

Downloaded blogger on my phone so hopefully I can blog more since now I can blog on the go.  Haha, previously when I was using my iPhone I did blog slightly more. 

Hmm I think the blogger app on iPhone/older version was better, easier to attach photos.

Anyway, I went to the Mandom warehouse sale on Wednesday.

Never leave me shopping alone. Bombed 106 dollars there.  Look at the amount of nonsense I brought even though I know I won't really use them.  Actually now that I look at them is not a lot but they are not cheap. I couldn't decide which eyelashes to get because I wanted to choose only 2 initially and since I can't decide, I decided to get all 4. Lol, I haven't even used the eye lashes I bought last year from Japan and in fact, I don't even use eye lashes. And the many eyeliners I bought from Korea etude house, I haven't used also.  On a side note, I did exhibit some self control, I put back one mascara, one eyeliner and one box of eye lashes.

In the recent 2 months I have been overspending quite a lot.  Last month was partly because of Watson sale, this month because of this sale and ordering of mooncakes.  I will let August be the last month I will overspend before I go into savings mode for the rest of the year.  But heading to Sydney in September, so maybe I can extend the overspending period till September.  Anyway I will be without pay for a period in September.

Need to come out with a plan on how to allocate money.  

Counting down: 5 more weeks!
