Abeno :D!

Went out for dinner with Ms Wang and Kelvin at Abeno Japanese Restaurant in Leicester Square at 6.30pm today :D! The restaurant specialises in okonomi-yaki (a base of cabbage, egg and dough with spring onions, ginger and morsels of 'tempura' batter) and all the food and desert are really nice and yummy! xD! And you actually keep all your bags, coats in your chair as it also acts as a storage box. We ordered one large Tokyo okonomi-yaki (prawn, squid, pork) with noodles, one regular London okonomi-yaki (pork, bacon, cheese, salmon), one edamame (Lightly-boiled young Soybeans with a sprinkling of Sea Salt), one tempura kakiage (Traditional, deep-fried Crispy Tempura with Black Tiger Prawns, Onion and Asparagus), one Om-soba (fried noodles ('Yaki-Soba') are served wrapped in an omelette and authentically decorated with Japanese Mayonnaise, Okonomi-yaki Sauce and Tomato Ketchup with pork, squid, prawn), hot/cold green tea. Deserts are choc pancake with dark choc ice-cream, Yokohama Sundae (Cinnamon & coffee ice cream and coffee jelly) and also An-Mitsu (A traditional Japanese Fruit Salad with sweet Rice Dumplings on a base of Agar-agar with sweet red beans and green tea ice-cream). They cook in front of you. It's a whole new experience coming to eat here! Love the food! Check out the website for more details http://www.abeno.co.uk/ So, get ready for about 50 photos I'm about to upload! :D!

ACCA Exam Centre (London ExCel)

9,10,15 Dec are my exam dates. In my previous post, I showed the surrounding of the exterior of my exam centre, ie. London ExCel. This time, I'll show you guys how things work in London. So friends taking ACCA exams in KDU, Sunway etc... you're hall is nothing compare to this =p! Here, there are about 2-3k candidates taking the exam. The halls are HUGE!!! like a few warehouse. The pics are only showing one part of it. There are so many water coolers and toilets in the hall so you can't leave the hall. Basically, no one goes in or out during exam time as they close the doors (gates). It's like jail. Trap in the warehouse. haha =p! Then, there is this big projection digital clock on the wall. Also, the uncountable amount of invigilators wearing yellow vests! *woon song say they look like garbage man while chee sing say they look like traffic people back in kl xD!* By the way, they don't have a stage for the invigilatos to talk here, so they announce it through the PA system. How cool is that? (It's something like Sri KDU) OW!!! and you guys cannot believe this! A lor of people actually bring starbucks & costa coffee and also snacks/sandwhich/food to eat and drink during exam time ><" It makes me hungry and it's so distracting! haha :p! First time experiencing so many new things in a new exam hall with so many people. Quite scary actually =p When it's after exam, it takes quite long, about 15-20 mins to collect and count all the scripts before releasing us. And the train station will be over"flooded" x)! Imagine that!


    

After exam today, I decideed to take a break and explore around my area. Walked quite long and far though. Rayau-rayau around x) Passed by many places like this Shaolin place, Cinema, Markets, Shops, etc...and finally back home to have a rest (:

Hanging in there...


Went to school to collect some stuff today (Thursday) and walked around to get some fresh air and relax a little before meeting Ilham :D! for lunch at "Kam Tong" in Bayswater since he wanted to have D-U-C-K. Apparently, one plate of duck rice is not enough for him :p so he ordered extra! haha x)! I opted for something different this time, ie. salted fish & pork slice rice (ham yu yok pin zong zai fan). It was really nice =)! Also ordered roasted honey pork bun (Mat Zap Char Siew Bao) which tasted really good too! Later, he accompanied me to the next door restaurant "Hong To", to take away porridge (Pei dan sao yok zuk) & Fish Ball Soup Noodles for my dinner & lunch the next day (:
