JCC and FCC Combined Outing !!!

2008-03-03T22:07:00.003+08:00

皆さんこんばんわ☆彡

Apparently, FCC (Food Connoisseurs Club) will be launched when the next term starts, headed by Darrell. We will need to go for a foodie trip at somewhere which has japanese influence and unique.

We are still trying to come up with the places. Anyone who has anywhere to recommend, please do post them on the FORUM.
link: http://cca.sg/forum/showthread.php?p=15433#post15433

Choices as stated below:
1)Soutouka ramen
2)Dozo -mix of japanese and french style
3)Shin Kushiya -its specialty is food grilled over white charcoal
4)Ichiban Sushi (centrepoint) - food cooked over hot stone
5)Sun with Moon - the food there is pretty nice
6)Mogu Mogu Kitchen
7)Waraku - Japanese styled pasta

the key word is ... UNIQUE ★

Note: Food trip is entirely on your own accord to attend. Do not expect the school to subsidise whatever you order. Treat it like a meal with friends. If we are lucky, we could get some discounts since we are going as a group.

Vote now people! Voting ends at end of first week of april! (≧∇≦)

Cosafe Maid Cafe LLP

2007-08-11T16:08:00.000+08:00

Since Hui Ning asked about the Cosafe, I decided to do abit of blogging on it. Please note that this is not an advert or anything.

The piano and the maid stand.

Cosafe itself is situated inside CHIJMES, at 30th Victoria Street.

When my friends and I went, it was right after NDP parade and everyone was rushing home, so the whole place was quite empty. The shop itself is quite small, with three sets of table sitting four people each. Luckily, we got the one with the sofa. The courtyard area is abit bigger, about the size of a standard lecture room in SP.

No picture of the menu, but most of the dishes there are the "fusion" type, not exactly Japanese, nor is it Western. The following are what we ordered.

Half Roast Chicken @ $20.80

The chicken was okie, not too bad. But the price is quite steep, considering that the chicken isn't damn big. Though they had some sweet sourish nice sauce underneath the chicken with my favourite CHERRY tomato!! SO.. 7/10

Curry Rice (Topping with Chicken) @ $15.80 for the Curry Rice, $3.00 for Chicken, $5.00 for Prawn. (One more topping at $4.00, but I forgot what it was)

I kapok my friend's curry rice with chicken, though I kinda regretted it abit. Abit too much em, sogginess? A tad less curry would be nice. Though I think the curry rice at the eatery at Meidi-ya, Liang Court is better. 6/10

Fish and Chips @ $16.80

The picture doesn't do justice to its size. Quite big fish. And the chips is abit more like a cross of wedges and fries. Better than the Western F&C at SP FC1, but not by much. 7/10

We all bought their A&W Rootbeer Float, which the waitress said was their bestseller drink. $5.80 each.

This was the booth where we sat, only one in the whole Cafe. Seats four. The rest are regular table-chair combinations.

Our "maid" for the evening. Very pleasant, polite and friendly, and quite servile.

Other Comments

I think that the maids weren't the cutest there, there was another lady there much more better looking. She looked like an employer though.

We only got the attention we got because the place wasn't filled with people. Not sure it was because of NDP or not, but there were only two maids.

If you sit the place we sat, the guys might get turned off, because lao auntie and banglah pop out and show face from the kitchen.

Oh, and one advice for the guys. Don't go there on a date or if your girlfriend is the jealous type.

Nearly forget to mention that there is a 10% svc charge. Total cost for a meal for 4 guys? $110.45

Overall

This is a good place to go for the atmosphere. The food isn't bad, though not for food lovers. Portions are enough for anyone who eats less than me, other than the curry rice, I think. But I got full because the waitress kept refilling my water. >,<

New Details about Summer Festival and Sub Committee formation

2007-07-18T21:57:00.000+08:00

Dear members,

The formation of Sub-Committee for SP Japanese Cultural Club will be held on the 27th of July 2007, a Friday.

Venue : T22611
Time : 5pm

The reason for the interview is to assess the different qualities of our aspiring young club members. And thus, through the interview, you can be part of SPJCC's new sub-committee.
More importantly, since most of the main commitee members are year 3 students, we would like to find capable leaders for the club to ensure its future growth.

Your attendance to our interview would affirm your commitment and interest in the Japanese Cultural Club.

Being in the sub-commitee would definitely allow you to develop the leadership qualities in youself and which is something that you cannot gain solely by your academic studies.

Should you have any queries, please contact Serene, our Secretary.

Also, our club has reserved tickets for the Summer Festival, and so, if you should require more tickets, please post it up in the forum thread BEFORE the 22nd of July 2007. Thanks.

Cheers,
Andrew

Circumstances HECK

2007-06-26T21:29:00.000+08:00

Hey all, just something I think that you all should have a look at. Try to implement this train of thought in your head, and may successes come your way.

The greatest stumbling block to achieving anything of importance in your life is circumstances. We let circumstances get us off the hook when we should be giving it everything we've got. More dreams are shattered and goals lost because of circumstances than any other single factor.
How often have you caught yourself saying, "I would like to do or have this but I can't because...?" Whatever follows "because" is the circumstance.

Successful people use circumstances to catapult them on toward their goal, while the masses use them as road blocks. A circumstance may cause a detour in your life but you should never permit it to stop you.

George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying, "People are always blaming circumstance for what they are. I do not believe in circumstance. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstance they want and if they can't find them they make them."

Napoleon said, "Circumstances hell, I make them."

The next time you hear someone say they would like to vacation in Paris, or purchase a particular automobile but they can't because they have no money. Tell them they don't need any money, your reward will probably be a blank stare followed with, "What do you mean I don't need any money?"

Explain they don't need the money until they make a decision to go to Paris or purchase the car. When the decision is made, they will figure out a way to get the amount needed. They always do.

The circumstance they are using is one of the most common: a lack of money. The real cause of their problem is lack of decision. You always attract what you need when you decide it must be done. Try this yourself today. You know the task you have been putting off "because..." Make a decision, forget the circumstance or adopt Shaw's theory, but get it done!

UPDATE on KTV-cum-BBQ @ Moberly

2007-06-07T19:14:00.000+08:00

APOLOGIES!!

There will be no BBQ at Moberly tommorrow. There is some problems with the Moberly management people.

There is KTV singing at Karaoke@Moberly and Badminton at Courts 1&2 from 1pm onwards. We are also unable to stayover in school as there is problems with the booking for the Dance@Moberly room. Thus, our activities will end officially at 6pm, and thereafter, we will go out for dinner together.

ごめんなさい。

For those who want to play badminton, please bring your own rackets. We will also bring basketball, so that those who wish to play it, may do so.

Our most sincerest apologies.

Regrets,
Andrew

Also, for those who want to sing Japanese songs, PLEASE BRING OWN DISCS. Kenneth only has X-Japan

On the Moberly Event

2007-06-06T22:27:00.000+08:00

Hi.
Regarding the J-Karaoke event, i re-inform again that it is still tentative and waiting for approval. Apparently, aft i checked today, it has yet to be approved. Thus, if it is cancelled, we will sms all of those who have signed up, latest by Thursday night or Friday morning. If the event can be commenced, we will also sms you to inform you of the details. We are very sorry for being so last minute, because we could not get a reply from SAS at expected time.
However, if this event is cancelled, you could still come to play badminton, as the court 1 and 2 is being booked already from 1pm to 5pm. Other than that, we will also inform you if a solely Karaoke session is still being hold.
