Sorry for the radio silence this past week; it's been abuzz with projects, assignments and deadlines. And after such a busy school week, one can't help but want to enjoy life a little right?
Yesterday was the Year-end Reception hosted by the Singapore Embassy at Prince Hotel and the food was great. Steak teppanyaki,scallop, broccoli with crab meat sauce, etc etc. It was like "幸福的感觉＂. They had local food as well (chicken rice, satay, prawn mee, laksa etc) but they never taste as good as back home. Oh well.
After the reception, Isabel, Rachel and I decided to go for Karaoke! Karaoke is another big Japanese social activity - in fact, I might think that you can probably find a karaoke near almost every train station in Central Tokyo area. They have offers like 1500yen (20sgd) for the hours of 2300 to 0500 for people who missed their last train, so apparently that will be cheaper than taking a taxi or checking into a hotel/motel for the night. So we initially wanted to sing for just 2 hours, but booked up so many songs and couldn't bear to not finish them that we eventually extended by another hour. The price was surprisingly reasonable though - about 16sgd per person with one drink each that we ordered - so perhaps Karaoke might be one of the more affordable leisure activities here in Tokyo. Might be back again!
