Joy Heart Royal China at Raffles

Make that 'HEART'.I love everything there. The decor, the service, the FOOD. Oh man, the FOOD. I have never eaten such good dim sum before, not even at Hong Xing. My sister and parents are constantly lamenting the fact that the dim sum buffet at Shangri-la is no more, but I really cannot remember how the dim sum there tasted since I was quite young then.

No matter what, Royal China has the best dim sum. To me. The baked items like egg tarts and char siew tarts are only baked after you've ordered so they take some time to arrive at your table but it's compensated because they're so fresh and piping hot! The har gow is SUPER nice. I can't wait to go back for a 2nd round! :D

This girl is amazing. Not only the things she was talking about, but even more the way she carried herself and her confidence and the way she gave her speech. She was only 12 then. Not to mention the 12 year old Singaporeans now; I can't imagine myself giving such a speech now. It really shows the different emphasis between her country's education system and ours.

Please take the time to watch and listen. It is really enlightening to hear the issues she has brought up.

I think it is very saddening to know that the world only caught on and started saving this earth 15 years after this speech was given.

Belated Spring Cleaning II

And yes, I have finished cleaning up/out my room. My bookshelves now look more like bookshelves, my study table is no longer covered w my bags and I now have a makeshift dressing table. Now if only I can get myself to re-paint my room and put up the curtains.

I came across a box of letters that got me really nostalgic. I used to exchange letters with a few of my friends from primary and secondary school. We would write like 5-7 pages long letters to each other filled with crap and I don't know what else. I really miss it.


Anyways, I have finally started the internship in church. It's kinda lonely 'cos I'm the only one.
But I really hope that I will make FULL use of this time.
