Naeum lunch

I always wanted to try Naeum because most people said it's good and value for money, but I didn't have the right occasion. It was Shiba's birthday so I booked a lunch $188 per pax on Friday.

I seldom eat Michelin restaurants in SG because other places in Bkk or Tokyo are more value for money but Naeum lunch was quite value for money too. And I get to wear my Thom Browne shirt haha.
I like that most dishes comes with Micro-flower which made it look pretty lol. Overall it was really good Korean food, the first few dishes were a bit overhelming because of the flavours but it got better. The dessert watermelon ice cream and fromage blanc was really good. Shiba likes it too.

Kaching! $500~

New specs

After 8 years of wearing and abusing my Oakley glasses I finally decided that the lenses were too unclear and I have to get a new pair of specs. I usually have 2 pairs - one for work and travel, another for more hardcore activities like gym so it gotta be more heavy duty.

I decided to get another similar pair of semi rimless Oakleys so I went downstairs to try a few, and because I can use CDC vouchers hehe. At first I wanted the Sway Bar 0.5 which is very comfortable and light because it's titanium, but it's $100 more than the rest and smaller than I like. Then I tried on the Oakley Voon which is the latest and larger model and it fits perfect. 

I did my eye test - my prescription remained the same. They didn't have the colour that I want so I asked them to pre-order.
I was deciding between the black satin and the blue stonewash, my other pair is already black so I went with the blue. After 2 weeks it came and it was better than I expected. 

Kaching! $445. Oakley specs are so expensive I should have bought Zoff or Jins.

Reservist shoot in july

I received a SMS to go for some reservist practise shoot and it will take around 2 hours. It's quite annoying because it's so out of the way and we have to bring SBO and helmet.

So Tuesday night I went back home for dinner, packed and sleep, the next morning my dad drove me over coz it was nearer to cck, then I did some shooting, got marksman but no incentive, then it was done within an hour - _- waste of my time and effort travelling here and there and they only gave us 2 hours instead of half a day.

Eating meat

Cold Storage always have the best meats and that's not the best thing. 
The best thing is, when they are nearing the expiry date they are on 50% discount.

I bought this 320g Ribeye steak for around $6-$8, and I bought this cod fish for around $5. And I always buy the chicken steak - 2 for $5 woohoo.
And my microwave actually makes it so convenient, I just pop the meat in and press the combi cooking and 15 mins later it is done. No fire no hassle and minimal cleanup. But I'm quite particular about delicate meats like fish and beef so I usually pan fry them. 

I'm a meat chef now hehe.

New Dior sneakers

Guess who just bought a pair of Dior B24 Runtek sneakers for a very good deal?

I was looking for something more comfortable that I can wear to work or travel, and walk for more than 3 hours, the Hermes bouncing fits the bill but it was too expensive so I got this pair for $*** heh. 

It looks average but at least it's new, cheap and comfortable and it can replace my other Asics one which is going to be redundant soon.
