food review as an excuse for my long absence

almost a month since my last post. I didn't even have time to touch my laptop.
not because I joined too many events or committees or what. I simply studied hard and played much much harder.

and food is one of my sweetest escape when my head felt like exploding. (no wonder all of my clothes seem so tight these late months. fcuk off lah)

all I need to do was just call up a friend or two, then find a place to get my head chilled. found some nice places and scrumptious foods. gonna share them all here, hope they could reduce your stress level as well :)
