Sushi Station Fuji Restaurant, Perth

Before starting off this post… a big Happy Birthday to my dearest , WY! I hate missing my love one’s birthday, but… oh well he understands. I don’t want to sound like I’m making too many excuses for missing his birthday.

Alright… this is one back-dated post of catching with friends and some food review (well… not really). I think this was 2 weekends ago… Did some catching up with friends and met some ‘new’ ones. What I meant by new friends – I may have seen some before but don’t know them personally. It was definitely a good and ‘chilly’ night of catching-up dinner, remembering of that night was pretty cold after a week long of rain.

What’s for dinner? JAP FOOD! Screaming loudly in my head, I was longing for a decent + authentic Japanese food and am glad that someone actually mentioned and made plans for it! Thanks Carl and King! The restaurant is small… and does have a cozy, traditional seating of a real Japanese restaurant. It’s hard to visualize with words put here without the images. My bad… I shall do a proper review again the next time I visit. At least, in my mind I know where to hunt for a quick fix of Jap food crave. Haha!

BUT… I do have some previews of food that we had. Tadaa…!

(From L – R) Assorted sashimi (variety of fresh raw seafood), Yukke (seasoned raw sliced beef+egg+apple slices), Sukiyaki (Japanese style steamboat with miso-base soup), Shabu-shabu (similar to Sukiyaki but with clear soup+dipping sauce for meat)

And of course, can’t leave behind the good company of friends.

Big thumbs up to the 2 organizers (you know who you are!) for this yummy dinner!

Quotes to the New Year

without comments

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.”
~ Benjamin Franklin

“Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

~
T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”

The Start…

with 2 comments

First of all, Congratulations to Dektos for landing a position with HSBC. May you have a great start of your career.

I’ve been busy working for almost the whole week… by the way for those who don’t know, I have part-time retail job just ‘next door’ to where I stay. Hehe… Had that job for 3 months now. That’s why not much of updates from me, plus I’m being tired and lazy at the end of the day.I had an interview today with Austal Ships, a leading designer and manufacturer of customized aluminium commercial and defence vessels, for a graduate position in Supply Chain.

Am I…?

with 3 comments

I’m not happy, I’m cheerful. There’s a difference. A
happy woman has no cares at all. A cheerful woman
has cares but has learned how to deal with them.
