obligatory food post

this post will be filled with food so don't read it if you haven't had your meal!

on wednesday (the 5th), my mom and aunt came to visit me from jakarta. it was very nice to see them again after so long! yesterday we went to sorae, located in plaza singapura, to eat dinner. i had been craving korean bbq for a while now but obviously i can't afford it on my own so i was very happy when i got to finally eat it.

people were giving out free packets of jagabee by orchard road as some sort of promotion for their new wasabi flavoured snacks.

watermelon mocktail! this was very refreshing and i enjoyed it a lot. you can choose if you want a mocktail or cocktail (served with soju) but since i'm still underage and my cousin (from my other aunt who lives in singapore) is too, we went for the non-alcoholic option.

japchae and kimchi jjigae! i love kimchi jjigae~

and the main event - the bbq! we got a serving of samgyeobsal (pork belly) and three servings of woosamgyeob (us beef). the uncle there said that night's woosamgyeob was in very good condition. usually there's some oil/fat but that night's servings were great.

and today, we went to ramen champion in bugis for lunch. i love ramen and i got myself the sapporo miso ramen from the stall near the front, whose name i forgot.

for dinner, we went to jumbo at clarke quay. 

i didn't take individual pictures of the food but my mom made a collage so she could post it on her path account. we got mantous, baby squid, tofu, chilli crab and kangkung. i did take a picture of the chilli crab though. 

look at that beauty. 

inktober

every october, there's this thing called inktober, which is when you draw using inks for every day of the month. there are prompts given but it is not necessary for you to follow them, such as these ones from the inktober website.

i decided to actually try it out this year even though i can't commit to anything. i didn't follow the prompts though. instead i just drew what i felt like drawing and what i was feeling like that day, so it was quite therapeutic for me. i stopped after the third day, which is no surprise, because i had to focus more on my school assignments since assessment week is coming up.

the materials i used are: winsor & newton drawing ink in black, winsor & newton watercolours, a g-pen, uniball white pen, dr ph martin's pen-white white ink, dr ph martin's concentrated watercolours, a moleskine sketchbook & a moleskine watercolour book. 

i think inktober is a great idea since it motivates people to do more with ink and will help develop their techniques. i have not touched inks for a few months so inktober is a great excuse for me to play with ink around more. i would love to continue my inktober drawings if given the chance!
