萧敬腾的‘奋不顾身’

Birthday Celebration at UFO Steamboat

UFO Churning Pot Steamboat is a newly open steamboat buffet restaurant in 3Two Square, SS14, PJ. PeiChi recommended us to celebrate Aren's birthday at there. It is now having promotion until end of the month where normal price is RM21++, and now it's RM17++. It has 3 type of soup, TomYam and two not spicy soup. Arenさんの誕生日は6月29日から、きのう会社の人とレストランで晩ごはんを食べました。
CJ, Gerlin, HuiYing and Aren.... 10 of us.
CWH's fishballs with different brands.
Again we still don't believe CWH is praying the Sea God(海龙王宗教) that he cannot eat seafood with shells because they are higher level than him. Only fish and lower level seafood (that doesn't have shells) are allowed to eat wor.... eventhough not alergy to seafood.
hehe... my bowl of dishes:) えびが２つあります。
My first time to see this - Scallop. 帆立貝があります。
Still got cakes, fruits and many flavours of ice-cream. So colourful of my cup:) ケーキと果物とアイスクリームガあります。
10 of us, the bill is only RM196++. Very worth to eat this buffet, somemore the environment isn't that chaotic like Yuen steamboat.
このレストランの食べ物はおいしいです。そして、安いです。

I received 2 key rings from Siew Lee last Monday. She went to Bangkok for vacation. 月曜日わたしは会社の人にタイ旅游の記念品をもらいました。Siew Lee さんは家族とバンコクへ行きました。

Another MV of Jam Hsiao - 王子的新衣(Prince's New Dress). 比较摇滚的一首歌曲, 不懂为什么萧敬腾那么喜欢用假喉音来呐喊类似帮乔飞(Bon Jovi)的唱法，这有点不太自然，虽然他喜欢帮乔飞, 。但我还是比较喜欢萧敬腾真诚地诠释深情的歌曲，譬如专辑内的‘奋不顾身’、‘活着’、‘一辈子存在’等，最喜欢听到他拉的滑音。

萧闳仁（据说差一点是星光二班的萧敬腾接班人，因为被邀去PK，但他拒绝了）vs 徐佳莹 - 身騎白馬 & 王宝钏苦守寒窑十八年:
