Tai Son Seafood Restaurant at JB (The Zon)

Picture credit to http://hungryrick.blogspot.sg

Tai Son Seafood is a Seafood Restaurant with a seaview looking towards Singapore at The Zon, JB. One can take a RM10 taxi ride there (6-7RM if going by meter but usually they will jack up the price)

There is also a ferry terminal near there so if you are interested to go to Batam from Malaysia, you can try there to (I have never taken the ferry from there before).

The seafood there is definitely very fresh, based on the few times that I have been there. The variety of food is extensive, albeit a tad on the expensive side. (but definitely cheaper than in Singapore)

PL loves the dessert there, even though they do not specialise in desserts. He had the crazy idea of just going there for the dessert till I stopped him. The fried ice-cream there is just heavenly~~

For me, I am always for their crabs. If you go there, go for the steamed garlic crabs! It is so juicy and delicious! Paiseh, it was so good that I forgot to take pictures before eating them! >.<

The best time to go there is definitely in the evening. While eating, you can see the setting sun, and then the night scenery. Lagi best~ Call to reserve for best seating arrangement. Ask for the outside seats.

Going back is a bit troublesome in the dark though. Don't go for those taxis which are waiting for passengers as they will charge you 15RM at least. Walk a hundred metres towards the other coffeeshops and there will be other taxis giving a more reasonable price.

This time round, I went to PL, his mum and sis. We ordered 2 crabs, 1 soup, 1 meat, 1 veg and 1 tofu for 234 RM. The meat dish for Chicken Cha Siew, which they said wasn't very nice. I am not a meat fan so it didn't taste nice to me in the first place. I still think that the crabs was the best dish. Haha.

I can't wait to go there again!! Just for the crabs~

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

[Review] My Thai learning experience with TSL Chiang Mai (Thai 1)

I first got to hear about TSL Chiang Mai on IG, where I am part of the studygram community. Yes yes, call me weird, but I like to experience and learn new things, especially languages. Due to COVID, they had moved the classes to 2 options; hybrid and online class. The most enticing part was the price; 2500 baht for a month's worth of lessons, 3 times a week. This translates to about SGD102, which is very affordable! I gathered a few of my friends to attend the trial class and they were quite interested. BUT, when they heard about the frequency of the lessons, they all backed off, citing commitment issues. I pondered for a while, and when I had to clear my time off and leave to start my new job, I decided to take the plunge and try out their hybrid morning class. Thai 1 hybrid class Class intro: The lessons were taught by Teacher Cindy, and I was the only one who is stationed out of Chiang Mai. Lesson format: The lessons focused very much on speaking and the handouts that the...

Sh'bam Class by Pao Pao at Westgate Fitness First

Last week, I went to Sh'bam class with Constance instructed by Pao Pao. I really enjoyed myself! Pao Pao gave very good and concise instructions to the extent that I actually managed to catch the moves even though I am a very uncoordinated person! However, take note that Westgate classes are always so full of people that you have to queue up around 40mins ahead of class, which sucks when you have to rush from work. PL kept asking me
