hehee... Yes steamboat!! Having been in Korea for nearly 9 months... I really terribly miss Singapore FOOD! As you know I have been eating kimchi almost everyday...... Not that I dun like kimchi but just that it will get kind of bored when everyday you see food that are only red color.... But after been in KOrea for 9 months, I realised that there are so many varieties of kimchi!!! I should also praise my boarding house auntie, she made fabulous Kimchi!!!
K back to the Steamboat.... Just a few days before 23 Nov, I invited May (my classmates since Level 2) to my boarding house... May is a sweet girl from Beijing, China. Like Wangbo, she has no air or attitute despite being very rich... (sorry perhaps this is my stereotyping of rich people...) K, so we were chatting in my room when we started to say how we miss our hometown food and chinese food (chinese food in Korea are expensive and doesnt taste as good) So we came up with the idea of having our own steamboat, preparing the food in our own style instead of the korean shabu shabu....
The initial plan was to have it out in the open (as its about 10degree), how fun right?! hehe... but too bad this didnt came true as it was raining the whole day on 23 Nov 07 (how sad rite?!)
On 23 Nov right after our competition, me and Tiff went to the supermarket to purchase the grocery needed for our steamboat.... Sad to say, we cant find the button mushrooms we had in Singapore.... I missed tat too.......
So after shopping, we went home preparing for our steamboat... Had to change our venue to our boarding house instead... Luckily our auntie was busy with the moving of her new house hence she wasnt in. We have the whole kitchen to ourselveS!! yeah!! Were busy preparing the food, marinating the meat etc....

So at around 8plus, me and Tiff waited till all the rest of the students to finish their dinner before we proceed to prepare for our steamboat... As we do not have our own steamboat, we used a rice cooker instead?!! hahaa.... But well it all turned out well.......

At around 8plus, I went over to our school to fetch Rui and Manami... Soon we started our steamboat session... and ard 9plus Ah Han joined us with his cousin. Wow... its really fun!!! We had our own steamboat which is cheaper compare to the restaurant and of cos we get to eat the food with our own chinese/singapore taste and most important of all we feel at home and can chat for the longest time!!! Koreans dun normally sit and chat over dinner... they normally have their food fast and exit from the restaurant. Reason being they felt that the restaurant is a place for eating and they shouldnt stay on to chat as there are other customers waiting or they might be disturbing the business....

WE finished clearing up at ard 10.30pm and proceeded to the KTV for our singing session. After KTV, we met up with Sueshi and Hwan and proceeded to Manami's house to drink... Afterwhich, we stayed till 6.30am to take the 1st bus back home.......

It was a really relaxing yet fun day! I gonna miss all these friends I have here........ Its really sad when we have to separate our own way furthermore in different countries...... I do wished to be able to travel to their country to visit them once in a while..... These are friends I do not want to forget............FRIENDS FOR LIFE!!
