Food, ballet, music and lyrics

This weekend has been a really nice and relaxing.

It started off with dinner with my friends at a Korean restaurant 20mins walk from my flat. I have to say the walk was well worth it! The food was simply fantastic. I ate a special Korean dish made of spicy pork and squid. It was so delicious. I shared a kim chi hot pot with my friend...and that was really spicy. All of us were very hungry coz it was about 9.30 pm before we actually sat down to feast. So, we ordered a big plate of sushi...and yes...yummy!

The next day, I watched "The Nutcracker" ballet. I have always wanted to watch the ballet, as I had played the whole musical piece on my piano a couple of times. Last year, I watched "The Swan Lake," and I think The Nutcracker is nicer. The stage was really colourful and the performance was more cheerful compared to The Swan Lake. The latter was a more serious performance (and I kind of dozed off for a few seconds during the performance).

This morning, my friend and I left for the cinema early to catch "Music and Lyrics." Oh, I so love this show. It was so romantic and sweet. It was so funny watching Hugh Grant acting as a famous singer in the 1980s. He could sing and move his booty too! haha. The show was really light and entertaining...probably THE perfect show for V-day, which is looming near. All the songs sang in the show were really nice...and I'm going to get the whole soundtrack soon! Believe it or not, although it was a romantic comedy, I actually cried during one of the scenes....

Besides those above, my time has been spent doing some last minute CNY shopping. COZ I'M GOING HOME FOR CNY!!!! yay! I have not been celebrating CNY properly since I've entered Med school. CNY was always a time to study, as my Uni just loves to set exam dates during CNY. How thoughtful of they!

I'm counting down my days....will be flying off this Saturday! oohh...I can't wait!

Oh...just heard that one of my friends is flying off to Aussie today. So she's going to miss CNY, but her relatives and family members were really kind to prepare various food for her before she goes. How nice. All the best gal! Make sure you dun flood KLIA! =)
