Happy Fathers' Day!
Well, today my family and I celebrated Fathers' Day at a Japanese restaurant. It was a pretty good meal, with fresh Sashimi and other types of Japanese food. Their Green Tea Rice was great! WOOOOOOOOOTS! My whole family enjoyed ourselves.
Speaking of Japanese food, you know they love to serve the Edamame, a type of Japanese pea, as appetizers? It looks something like this ...
I was happily munching it when my brother started laughing at me. It just brought up a childhood memory of mine, and well, maybe his too.
When we eat this Japanese dish, we are supposed to peel the skin of the Edamame, and then eat the peas inside. When I was really young, the first time I stepped into a Japanese restaurant (if I never remembered wrongly), I took up the whole Edamame, and put it inside my mouth. After spending 5 mins of chewing it non-stop, I took out the chewed Edamame from my mouth, held it up, and then told my mum, "Mummy, I cannot swallow". My mum told me that I was eating it wrongly, and then she peeled all my Edamame for me, while I happily ate the peas. My brother was laughing like crazy when that happened. But what do you expect ... I was like 4 or 5 years old then! There's a first time to everything! HAHAHA!
(EHH STOP LAUGHING AT ME!)After our meal, we went shopping at Centrepoint as my dad wanted to buy a pair of shoes and my mum wanted to get her vitamins products there. So, my brother and I had nothing to do, and we decided to hang out at Cold Storage. We were meddling with a touch-screen electronic device which prints out whatever recipe we pressed.
So we were playing with it and anyhow pressing. Then we felt a sudden change in the brightness of the screen, it became darker. We both turned back at the same time, and there was the Cheezels mascot standing behind us! We both got a shocked and jumped up as its head was really huge! I started laughing like crazy.
I still remember when I was young, I went to this shopping mall where they wanted to promote the Looney Tunes cartoon. So they had all the characters up on a stage where all the cartoon characters performed. At the end of the performance, they called for the kids up on stage for a meet and greet session. I went up on stage, I shook Bugs Bunny's hand, shook Sylvester's hand ... And the stupid Tweety Bird ignored me! I whacked the head of the Tweety Bird until the costume came off. HAHHAHAAH! I was like 4 or 5 then la! Don't blame me!
Bringing up childhood memories definitely placed a smile on my face.
