yippeeEEE! she IS here, my japanese fren's arrived in s'pore, and as i'm typing this now, she's in my bathroom, scrubbing away those dead cells flattened by the long hours of flight... =)
5 yrs, but other than a little more flesh ard the waist, & some laugh lines along the sides, she's the same dear old mika, full of warmth & sincerity, & of loud exclamations in typical japanese fashion (with all due respect). I mean, meeting up after all these time is, in her words, "totally AWESOME"!
Brought her to geylang for the soya milk + you tiao + dumplings + pork floss pancake + soupy vermicelli. & you won't believe this, but at 2am on a thursday morning, that darn soya place is still packed full!! man... if only my mama has taught me how to make soya milk... I'd quit my job right now. Period.
As they say, good things don't last. Mika's flying back tomorrow. Yep, Singapore's her transit stop. Think STB'd be sad to know that despite all these $$$ pumped in, tourists are still NOT staying beyond 3 pitiful days.. Maybe that's why they are building that HoRrIFiC casino. It's excruciating to even type that word. C..A..S..I..N..O.. Kill Me.
Before she flies back, I'd make sure she try some oyster omelette, satay, bbq chic wings, hokkien mee, chilli mussels, sugar cane juice... & the all-so-potent DURIAN! I've been such a wonderful host, i'm sure she'd hate to disappoint.
So u there, while u're reading this the next day, i'd be in seventh heaven (not quite near my mum, but surely near those out-of-e-world dishes). God bless us.
