Newton Tiger Prawns
Never go to Newton Circus and eat at their BBQ food stalls ever!
I probably might be a bit slow in realizing, (maybe everyone already knows!) but yes, they charge exorbitant rates and are dubious!
Went there for a quick bite before rehearsal today with 3 of my students. Decided to try the grilled tiger prawns from one of the stalls. Since they brought the menu over and it was convenient to just order from them, we decided to place an order for tiger prawns. The pictures in the menu showed a plate of 4 and put $8 for 100g. So when the guy asked us how many we wanted, we just assumed 4 was a reasonable size and got 4 (so we might have been a little too unassuming on that).
While ordering, I spotted the 100g for $8 pricing though and I asked the guy how heavy was one prawn but instead of weighing and telling me before cooking, he just said "later I show you when the bill comes, depends on size of prawn." I should have probably insisted on an estimate but just overlooked it as the guy walked off really quickly, and I was gauging it to be about 30-40 bucks...
So when the final bill came with the prawns, it was a SHOCKING $76. For 4 tiger prawns. We were pretty stunned for a moment. Come to think of it, luckily we had enough money to pay.
T'was an expensive lesson learnt today....Did we look that much like tourists?
Damn. HAHAHAH.

How long can I keep dreaming?
Rant Post. Beware.
Got a few things on my mind the past few days....some I can say some I'd rather keep to myself for now....even though it might gnaw away at me inside....grr. Just going to voice out my own inner voices and feelings tonight...it's depressing, it's about me me me....I don't need criticism and I don't need pep talks. I have my other inner voices to do that. It's just because if I don't write it out somewhere....I'll explode.
This whole dance affair thing is getting a little depressing personally. Don't know why I'm so low and unmotivated to keep trying lately. As I go for whatever few classes I can outside and I see the people getting younger and younger and all with so much potential and ability, I question my own self. I'm too soft, too weak, too subdued.
Then I look at current and new instructors starting out at studios and other places and they all made it there because they shone and stood out in choreography, performances and competitions. They make people sit up and take notice. Then i can't help but look at myself...I'm too busy teaching outside, I don't go for enough classes, competitions or shows. I feel like I'm being left behind. After being out there for a while already, I'm still stuck....and I worry alot of late that my classes are just not good enough...Darn my attitude and darn my mentality.
I'm feeling a little tired, don't know if I have the discipline and the drive to keep pushing and finding ways to improve, to catch up, to stand out anymore....how long can I keep this up? Would going away for 3 months even make a difference? Am trying to be positive but the doubt has always been an issue....
How long can I keep dreaming?
******
And I don't understand why instead of feeling better after I call hoping for some tenderness, I end up feeling EVEN worse. I'm not a student sitting for a lecture you know...
Fork it.
