Mmm, yummy ramen~ (but no edible visas, unfortunately)

I was overjoyed that my visa documents finally came this morning, about an hour after my last entry. Perhaps the only problem now is that I'm very much buried in paper. ^^;;; (edit: just to clarify, these are the documents that I need when applying for a visa, not the visa itself ^^;;; )

I went out for lunch with my ex-NS colleagues (including my CC) for lunch at Ajisen Ramen in Lot 1 to celebrate a colleague's ORD (and as an unofficial "makan" which there wasn't time for when it was my turn last October) :P

The ramen that I ordered was pretty good (ton toro, with fried pork I believe), and it came with a side dish of chicken teriyaki. It wasn't very spicy and was easy to swallow. ^^ The same couldn't be said for the "volcano" ramen, though, which lived up to its name with a 4-chilli (for hotness) rating. :P Nevertheless, everyone who ordered it was able to finish it, and according to them, it tastes really great, if you can handle the spicyness. Perhaps I should try it next time. Any takers?

After that, it was time for a bit of brief shopping in which I bought two large spindles of CD-Rs and DVD+Rs respectively as well as a 60-page file clear holder for my loose scores, and then checked out the Winter Time warehouse sale at Jurong East. The prices are quite attractive, and I'll be going there tomorrow on Monday afternoon with my mother to actually buy stuff.

The cooking items may also be back on the agenda, because I don't believe that the import/customs duty will be that much. It'll certainly rebut show itsacz that I'm not that underequipped lightweight. :P

And... oh yeah, if you happen to be in the Esplanade/Raffles City area tomorrow evening, do come down to watch NUSPE perform "Da Capo" at the Esplanade Library from 5 to 5:30 pm. ^^

Yaii! Your visa finally arrived! Now you are indeed ready to travel! Good luck with everything! And that ramen sounds pretty oishii. I can stan spicy for a while, but not too long. I end up leaving the rest of the food on the plate. :p

Actually, I'm still not ready... The supporting documents for the visa are what came, so I still have to go and apply which will take at least 5 working days. :P

But it's a start, at least ^^;;; And I am indeed one step closer to being ready to travel. ^_^

Yup, it's very tasty ramen, but kind of expensive. S$10.90 (US$ 7) for the ramen, side dish and free green tea.

Cool! You got your visa docs! And you're bringing your cooking stuff! ;p
Yay, buy more stuff! With so much container space you should fill it all up. >O

The duty would probably kill me, though. ^^;;;
