Valentine's day!

For the celebration on Valentine's day,

My bf (nick) and I went to Shukodo and have dinner. I find the food just average, not very fantastic, maybe it is because my standards are very high.hehe

SHOKUDO JAPANESE FOOD BAZAAR

Tel: 6837-3793
Open 11.30am - 10 pm daily

I tried the bamboo salmon rice and only like the salmon not the rice. The salmon was steamed, very healthy. hehe. Nick tried the salmon rice bowl. I guess both of us feel like eating salmon that day bah, if not I can try other types of fish like eel. As the portion was not very big, I went to order another bowl of char siew ramen (original flavour), I only like the soup, the noodles can be improved. As for dessert, we ate the red bean and chestnut crepes, the crepe skin was fantastic but the red bean kinda of sweet. *must learn how to make the crepe skin. After that, we went for a walk along Esplanade, then to the rooftop, after talking for a while, he secretly placed my Valentine's Day present besides me. When we wanted to leave, he said that there was something weird besides me. Initially, I did not believe him and thought that he wanted to play a trick on me. So I said "let's go, dun play already". After much persuasion, I turned around and saw the light green Tiffany & Co. paperbag, inside was a heart-shaped necklace. I was really surprised and shocked cos I had not expected it. I love the necklace a lot!
I gave him a backpack-Mountain Dax Equipment that can be used for his business trip. It can put laptop as well. In addition, i bought the pocket holder where he can compact his business shirts into a small compartment.

My Valentine Day this year is very memorable for me! Thanx to Nicholas.

Ken Hirai (close my eyes lyrics)

KEN HIRAI HITOMI WO TOJITE (CLOSE YOUR EYES) LYRICS

Asa mezameru tabi ni kimi no nuke kara ga yoko nii ru
Nukumori wo kanjita itsumono senaka ga tsumetai

Nigawarai wo yamete omoi KAATEN wo ake you
Mabushi sugiru asahi boku to mainichi no oikakekkoda

Ano hi miseta nakigao namida terasu yuuhi kata no nukumori
Keshi sarouto negau tabi ni kokoro ga karada ga kimi wo oboeteiru

Your love forever
Hitomi wo tojite kimi wo egaku yo sore dakede ii
Tatoe kisetsu ga boku no kokoro wo okizari ni shitemo

Itsuka wa kimi no koto nani mo kanji naku naru no kana
Ima no itami daite nemuru houga mada ii kana

Ano hi miteta hoshizora negai kakete futari sagashita hikari wa
Matatakuma ni kieteku no ni kokoro wa karada wa kimi de kagayaiteru

I wish forever
Hitomi wo tojite kimi wo egaku yo soreshika deki nai
Tatoe sekai ga boku wo nokoshite sugi sarou toshite mo

Your love forever
Hitomi wo tojite kimi wo egaku yo sore dakede ii
Tatoe kisetsu ga boku wo nokoshite iro wo kaeyou tomo

Kioku no naka ni kimi wo sagasu yo sore dakede ii
Nakushita mono wo koeru tsuyosa wo kimi ga kuretakara
Kimi ga kuretakara

I love this song so much that i memorize one line of it first:
'Hitomi wo tojite kimi wo egaku yo sore dakede ii'

It will take me some time to memorize the whole song but i know it is possible. hehe.

Dream trip-Osaka

My dream is to be able to visit Osaka in 2009.

The reason being cos

1. Ken Hirai is from there.



2. Osaka is Japan's third largest and second most important city. It has been the economic powerhouse of the Kansai region for many centuries.

Orientation
Osaka has two major city centers and four major train stations. The two city centers are nicknamed Kita ("North") around Osaka/Umeda Station and Minami ("South") around Namba Station. While Kita is a large shopping and business area, Minami is Osaka's most famous entertainment district.
JR Osaka Station is located in the center of the Kita district. Two other railway companies and three subway lines have their own stations in the vicinity of JR Osaka Station, however, these stations are named Umeda Station rather than Osaka Station. The shinkansen trains stop not at Osaka Station, but at Shin-Osaka Station. Shin-Osaka Station is located one station north of Osaka Station by JR train.
In the Namba area (Minami), three railway companies (JR, Nankai and Kintetsu) and three subway lines have their separate stations, all named Namba Station. The fourth of Osaka's major railway stations is Tennoji Station in the southeast of central Osaka. It is served by JR, Kintetsu Railways, the Hankai Tramway and two subway lines.
