I am officially screwed. Just checked the unit outlines for my subjects this coming semester, and oh my... think I just passed through the gates of Hell, if Hell existed on Earth. Feeling like a deflated balloon, who gave everything to achieve good results last semester, and am not recovered yet. This holiday really didn't seem like a holiday at all, and just coming back from a terrible day at work that started off terribly to begin with really didn't help. Used to think that life is all just an equation- you plan, you calculate, you take x amount of time to do one thing, and y amount of time to do another, and it should all fit into 24 hours each day. But of course, life never goes accordingly. There is no equation, and now I'm feeling like I'm trying to calculate the last digit of pi.
So while I wait for someone to dig a hole and bury me inside for the next couple of years, I shall look at food and maybe feel more human again.

Giant oysters. Can never eat too many... and oysters are one of those food that you either love or hate- the texture does take a little getting used to.

The size of icie's palm.

Sashimi- salmon. Oh, these were from the Sydney Fish Market.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Very good use of the huge oyster shell- wasabi and soy sauce for sashimi.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Makes a pretty nice saucer.

Utterly ruined scallops. Ultimate failure coming from whichever store these were from, because it was so overcooked, it was all dry and stuck to the shell. =( The scallop lived for nothing! No food should ever be cooked into this state, poor thing.

Better, but still, not my type of seafood. Asians do it best =)
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
No more king prawns soon! Eat more now before they ban it from the markets~

Then we went to "Secret Room", which is this hidden Korean place. It's not a karaoke lounge, nor is it a restaurant... there are just 12 differently themed rooms, each with a big tv where you can watch movies, mtvs, play games, etc. This was the Japanese themed one.

The other side of it. They provide slippers for you to wear when you book a room, and it's about $45 per hour for 4 people, with extra $5 per person. You can also book half hours, but they aren't worth it at all. It is quite expensive, and we only booked it to do a photoshoot for my sister and her fiance.

| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Another room that's Korean themed.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Green nature themed. These rooms are smaller, so I suppose they might be a little cheaper to rent.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Wall of beach themed room. Of course, I didn't manage to take photos of every single room. Some were occupied.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Oh gosh, the pinkness is blinding. Some princess themed room...
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
... complete with dresser table...
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
... a table filled with roses...
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
... and a couch with lovey dovey pillows. Previously, I thought I'd never find any guy caught dead inside such a room. Then I visited it just for a quick peak with tt one day, the door to the Princess room was ajar and I could see it was occupied with a group of Korean guys doing their usual pushing and shoving each other around (I was about to put "fooling around", but it might have been misinterpreted by some, but still, a pink room... hm... *insert emoticon with raised eyebrows*)

This is the room we rented.

It's simply "the White Room".
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
Giant clock opposite the pictured wall.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
On the back wall~
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
This was the overall layout of the room, with couches, a table behind, a coffee table in front with a keyboard and roller mouse attached to it to control the tv. My sister and her fiance were busy changing, icie was busy setting up, I was being extremely useful by seeing what movies and games they had. Settled for some Korean mtvs =D They had heaps of Hollywood movies, but obviously, one hour's rent isn't going to get you through one movie. Watched snsd instead.

| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
I did help. Really.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
There was a touch screen next to the door of the room, where you can order games, drinks, food, t2 teas, electronic devices like wii...

| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
And you can even buy merchandises. Cute ones of course.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
But let me point out the fact that everything is grossly overpriced here. You'd be better off buying your own bento or onigiri from tonton, which isn't that far from the place at all. "Secret Room" is actually located directly opposite Pepper Lunch.

Quite a sophisticated place though. They have really nice pictures on their walls, that's for sure.
 |
| From Week 28-30, 2010 |
FYI, "White Room" was Secret Room 1. =) We're the best~
It was actually the nicest out of the rooms I saw actually.

The way they cook the seafood at the Fish Markets doesn't really do it justice (or at least the few times I've been there.) The Secret Room is an interesting concept, but I really do wonder what a couple of guys were doing inside the princess room.
love that place...... mei, but maybe next time we should just design your room to be the pink room, icie room to be the otaku room and my room can be renvo-ed and have a TV put in and then we can do the roating room thing at home....=P
Jie
Need proper lobster!!! Proper lobster that accentuates its sweetness rather than tasting like cheese =(
And jie, why is it my room that gets turned pink?? >< I want a purple room, not a pink one! =P
