Saturday Night Out

It has been a fine weekend so far, good enough that it isn't even raining. My friends and I had planned some time ahead to try out mussels somewhere around London and decided it shall be dinner for today. Note that whenever there's an outing involving too many people, there's always chances of some individuals turning it down or pull out for some reasons, but it's a good thing most of us made the trip eventually. The remaining 10 of us took the tube to near central London and took off at Holborn station and started hunting for a restaurant called - Belgo -. I guess it's pretty famous for it's mussel dishes as there were already many patrons who're seated well before its even dinner time. There is also bar in there that serves alcohol beverages. We made it in the queue and waited for few minutes before being ushered to the table for 10. The ambient was comfortable, classy but not way classy to feel awkward enjoying the mussels with bare hands. So we each ordered a different sets of mussel dishes and this was how it is when served...这也就只其中一份而已啦...


Of course, I wouldn't be able to savour all of those since I am allergic towards most seafood...which meant I wouldn't dare to test my luck on those, although I sinfully tried a couple of them. It's really not exceptionally tasty at all to be honest. I ordered some non-seafood for the night and the rest of them enjoyed chatting away while sucking off the meat from shells :) Yes these are worth a first try but not that commendable really, no finger licking good for this. I personally prefer the frites and the potatoes ^^;; they're okay. Slightly guilty after that....I meant that I've just effortlessly gained some pounds after trying so fucking hard to lose them instead!! *sigh* There's really no easy way out ....

Apart from that, it was a relaxing evening with my classmates nevertheless. They're all so bubbly, funny, joyful and very entertaining. Can't wait for our little CNY get-together also known as 春节 to my Chinese friends. We make such perfect "faux" family members for each other now that we're all away from home. I'm really so lucky to have them :)

On another note, I can't believe that my friend had just confessed that he's had dog meat back in his country and on top of that - it's delicious!! There is really no way to talk myself out of this, it's just too wrong in every way no matter how I see it. -.- what a revelation haha...but still no. Things like this should stay unlawful and illegal everywhere and for ever.

我在想啊 一个人保密能保到什么程度呢? 就算要背着原则 他是否还得选择保存秘密呢?

Is there ever a possibility not wanting to know a secret? Different people have different approach of handling secrets. Personally, if I'm burdened with secret that has something to do with another being, I'd most likely act ignorant about it because I just have no other ways of dealing with it. Some people go about being skeptic about keeping one but really, it's hard to stay neutral or unaffected once the secret is broken to you.

I may be a good listener, but....
