Fish Out of Water at The Fish Bowl (5/9/16)

 My last class which is Biology ended at 1.30pm. Hui Yee and I are waiting for Ammelin, my batch mate, to pick me up because we're heading to The Fish Bowl poke cafe to have lunch. Hui Yee accompanies the two of us, to the lift since she is done for the day. Ammelin presses the down button but the lift is going up so we decide to "ride" with the rest of the students until it reaches the fifth floor, then back down to the ground floor. 

  When we reach the ground floor, we let out a sigh of relive. Since the newly opened cafe is at the university side, we have to walk all the way till the end of the campus. The sun is scorching high above us but that didn't stop us from getting our lunch. On the way to the cafe, some students also walking out of the campus at this time of hour. Still, we have to cross the road to get to our destination. I manage to stop a car. 

  Along the way, Ammelin tells me that The Fish Bowl poke cafe is always full when she comes for lunch. Since it's around 1.40pm, I think there will not be much students as most students' break time is at 11.00am. The moment we enter the cafe, I smell fresh salmon filling in the air. The setting is an underwater theme- the white float hanging on the wall says Welcome Aboard. Since it's our first time dining here, San, who is one of the co workers of the cafe gives us a brief guide on how to order our "fish bowl". 

  I look through the steps carefully. I tick the one that I love to eat on the list, probably almost everything! Nah, I'm just kidding! Ammelin hands our orders to San. After a few minutes, our "fish bowls" are done. I look at the combination of my meal and I know why they called The Fish Bowl because the round cup is like a place for the fishes to swim. Instead of real life fishes, the dishes we ordered are described as the "fish". A very interesting name! I can't wait to taste more when I visit to the cafe next time. Maybe, I'll be putting Mayo or Thousand Island as the final toppings of my dish. 

  A very pleasant and relaxing cafe. The staffs are very friendly and hospitable, so drop by at The Fish Bowl when your nearby to get your lunch out of the water.

 

Lunch at Rock Cafe (25/7/16)

  After Economic class, my new course mates and I were having our break. "Where are you guys going?" I asked. They said "We don't know. It's up to them," giving each other a stare glare. After much deciding, we decided to have our lunch at Rock Cafe where it's a stone's a throw away from the college. They asked me whether I could walk that far. I said "Yes. Besides, I need some exercise, haha!" 

   We took the lift to the ground floor, as they were catching up with their friends, I bumped into my high school senior, Yi Xin. "Hey Katelyn!" I said "Yi Xin!" She asked where I was going, I told her we were going to Rock Cafe. "Have fun!" I always give my seniors a "goodbye hug". We walked to Rock Cafe, along the way Wei Qi whether I was tired. I said "No, I'm fine!" I thought it was far, I didn't know it's very near. Let's just say 10-15 minutes. 

   Wei Qi asked me what would I like to eat, I said I wanted a small plate of char kuey teow. Most of us ordered teh O ais limau (ice lemon tea). So everyone was talking, I saw my ex course mate, Tyler and I was glad to bump into him. We had a small chat. After eating, everyone went back to their talking, I got very curious so I looked around the opened space cafe. Wei Qi said "Is it hard to fit in?" I said "Yeah," she said "Don't worry, you'll get use to it!" 

  At 12.05pm, we walked back to the campus and all of us were sweating after all that walking so we needed to find a place to cool ourselves off by going to the Student Hub where it's at the NUB (New University Buliding). I knew a short cut where we could go to the hub by using the lift because Shenn showed me the way before. Somehow I got my "direction sense" right. 

  We just chilled and doing our course work. At 1.30pm, it's time for them to head to class while I headed for the library for some "me time" as always. When we entered the library there is a "referendum" for us students to sign in conjunction with the Quiet Campaign which was launched by the campus' library staffs. 

  It's been a fun day for me. 

Semester Break Day Out (8/11/15)

  The semester break is here! Most of us from college are out of town, we went back to our respective hometowns on the last day of examination itself or the day after. As for me, I went back to my hometown where it's in Malacca, on Saturday. Actually I wanted to go back couples of days after the examination which is on November 6. But due to my dad's busy work schedule, so the day of going back was postponed to Saturday. Yes, I'm back for the semester break!

  Days before the semester break, my high school friends and I planned for a gathering since everyone is back for the holidays. We decided to have our day out at Hungry Bear in Bukit Beruang. I was very excited because I got to meet them again after three months since the Hari Raya holidays. At first, it was 12.00 noon but then it was postponed to half an hour because Yu Xuan had some things going on. As long as we have a day out it's fine by me. 

  I put on my black and red DC canvas and sat at the living room to wait for Shi Wei, my brother to pick me up. He was also picking Yu Xuan as well. I thought it the car but then it wasn't. After a few minutes, a car's honk woke me up from my thoughts. My friends were here! "Hey sis, we're here!" called out Shi Wei. I quickly put on my bag and sunglasses, then I walked out from the house. My sister's dog, Furry was barking at them, she doesn't like strangers around the house. 

   I tried to sooth her down "Furry, it's okay!" Before we left, grandma told us to be careful on the road. As I hopped into the car and it's off to Hungry Bear. Along the way, we chatted what we were up to during the past three months. We hopped down from the car once we reached our destination. We went into Hungry Bear and found a perfect spot at the corner of the diner. 

  The waiter gave us to have a look at the menus. We ordered a regular of Aloha Chicken pizzas, while drinks on the other hand, I ordered lemonade. Shi Wei asked if we could Andelin to join us. "Yeah, I'm okay!" Yu Xuan said, she turned to me and asked my opinion. "Fine by me!" I said. "Great! I'll call her up," he said as he took out his phone.

  Not long after that, as Andelin arrived, our food just served up in time. "Hey guys!" Andelin greeted us as she took her seat beside Shi Wei. We chatted about our days in high school and plans about our future. The topics is basically on friendships and international colleges. We decided to have another round of pizza. A surprise visit from our friend, Shi Yuan came to drop by. Around 3.30pm, we left because Yu Xuan was going to visit her grandmother in Tampin. Her dad picked her up from the place.

  Andelin gave me a ride home. After dropping me off, I got a text from my college mate and best friend XY, who was on a trip to Malacca with her family.We actually promised each other months before the big semester break. Whenever she visits to Malacca, we will have a day out. Around 8.45 pm, we left for Mahkota Parade. When I arrived, she was waiting for me at the entrance of Nadaje- a cake shop where it was our meet up place.

  As the time was late, the shop was at the closing time so we have a quick bite of Mocha Choclate cake, it was so good! We took a selfie while eating the cake. Mr. and Mrs. Lee asked about myself. "I live in Malacca with my maternal grandparents, aunt and sister. I stayed in KL with my parents since I started college," I said. As I was about to call my mum, she came just in time. It was an awesome night out with your friends. Especially those who are out from town.

  I had the best time of my life
