Some big changes in Restaurant City
Last night I got bored and changed the layout and decorations in my restaurant in Restaurant City. All the previous snow and ice is gone, and in comes a refreshed version of my old Chinese theme restaurant, and a bigger garden than before. I'm quite happy with it, everything runs smoothly and the popularity is at max most of the time. There is room for improvement decorationwise but I will improve it little by little. I just don't want to buy too much new decorations now with the Chinese New Year coming so soon- I hope there will be Spring Festival themed decorations in Restaurant City by then. Oh well, a picture of my restaurant as of today.

It was a good day until...
My husband and I picked up the letter in the mailbox downstairs when coming back from town after dinner... It was a letter from the hospital, about a jaw surgery my husband might need if he's going to fix his teeth. I've banned him from having that surgery done and told him to call the hospital in question, cancel the consultation and tell them to never ever contact my husband again, or they will be haunted by a very very angry wife who WILL sue them so badly they will have to close the whole clinic!
I wanted to take the letter, tear it into billions of pieces and then burn it. My husband didn't let me but did assure me that he'd call and cancel it. I've told him several times in the past weeks that I'm gone if he does have that surgery! I want him the way he is NOW. No more laser treatments of acne scars and no jaw surgery or stupid braces! I won't have it! I want him the way he is, the way he looked when we first met 4 years ago. I can't stand seeing his face burnt by a stupid laser, and I definitely won't be able to see him in pain after an unnecessary surgery. I've even banned him from going to that dentist again.
I really do hate dentists, and especially the dentists who deal with braces and stuff. I've been there done that and the process was both painful physically and emotionally, and the nearly 3 years it took for me from having teeth taken out until the braces were out were a waste of time seeing some of my teeth has now moved back to where they once were and my stupid wisdom teeth has taken the space that was once there.
That being said, I haven't seen a dentist in over 3.5 years, and see no reason to go see one soon!
To make this post less gloomy...
My husband and I went out for dinner today. We have a lot to celebrate in the coming few days. On the 15th we celebrate 4 years as a couple, on the 17th we have been married for 2 months and on the 18th it was 3 years ago we went to China together for the first time- or I should say it was my first time going to China, and my husband's first time ever introducing a girlfriend to his family!
Anyways, I'm working all week until friday, and at about 7am saturday morning I'm going to take a train up to my parents place to spend Christmas week there. My husband was supposed to come with me on saturday but something came in between so he'll come up on the 22nd instead, unless he decides to follow my advice in the matter and cancel the thing that came in between and come with me on the 19th.
So since there's so much to celebrate this week, and so little time to go out, we went out today.
At first my husband tried to drag me into an ecologic western restaurant, but I really didn't want western food today and definitely not ecologic because I was fed up with that in high school, and I eat western food 5 times per week at work in my lunch break. So after deciding that restaurant we first went to smelled nothing better than the cafeteria at work, along with being in an area of downtown I absolutely HATE, we decided to go to one of our standard places, but on our way there we went past this little Korean BBQ place and it looked really nice so we went in there and OMG it was great!
We ordered Korean BBQ and had our own little gas grill on the table, and got some kimchi, salad, rice and sauce, and some filet of beef and vegetables to grill. So you could say we cooked our own dinner, just didn't have to prepare it. And the taste was amazing! It was my first time trying Korean food except for a noodle dish with black bean sauce I had in China 3 years ago. But I'm addicted now! Next time my husband and I go to China we are so going to a Korean BBQ restaurant at least once! And we have to go to a Teppanyaki restaurant too! We tried Teppanyaki in Beijing in may and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tried.
Here in Copenhagen there's not many restaurants that has the real taste of Asian foods. It's always changed a bit to fit the taste here. Even the few restaurants which does have authentic menu has minor changes compared to if having the same kind of dish in China, and there's not ONE Chinese restaurant here which doesn't have at least one dish with sweet and sour sauce (which doesn't exist in China) and at least one dish with deep fried pork/chicken/beef/prawn. I only know of 2 restaurants in Copenhagen that serves Beijing duck and that has to be pre-ordered and it's a requirement to be at least 4 people and it costs a fortune per person!
On another note. I've found the Gourmet King twice today when playing Restaurant City. My friend in Singapore has become an expert in finding the Gourmet King by now, but unfortunately one can only claim 2 things from the king per day so I have to remember to hit the link tomorrow for a couple of things :/ And day after tomorrow... I've already gotten my 2 things from the Gourmet King today, and my friend has found him 6 times in a day or two now!
Oh wow, long post today. But the night is young. 10pm now and I'm too stressed up about that letter so I can't sleep yet :(

Christmas preparations
Today I've been over to Malmö to do some Christmas shopping, and find a dress to wear at the Christmas party at work on friday. I found a couple of presents today, and I did find a dress. I found a red dress in a light and silky material and it's reaching to the knees so it's not too short. But I do have a feeling my workmates will be shocked when they see me wearing it. None of them have seen me in a dress before, except for the workmates who have seen the wedding pictures.
In the past couple of days I've been doing some rather drastic changes in my restaurant in Restaurant City. I now have a winter theme in the restaurant, and it's quite a bit of Christmas decorations now. RC is going to release more Christmas decorations soon so I've saved quite a bit of space in my restaurant for that. And after Christmas I can still keep my restaurant the way it is now and just have the typical Christmas items put into storage. There's not much Christmas about snowmen and non decorated Christmas trees with some snow on. But Santa and such has to go into hiding after Christmas again.
I still haven't unlocked all the Christmas dishes, or the dishes Gourmet King can give you if a friend has found him. I've found him twice, but haven't seen or heard about any of my Facebook friends finding him. It is however true that not many of my Facebook friends who play Restaurant City are very active players. Only very few I know play it quite seriously while most of my friends are still below level 20. I hope when some friend DO find him that they'll let me know about it.
Had a long msn chat with a friend from Singapore yesterday afternoon. It was a lot of fun and both of us are RC players, and he has to be the friend I have who knows the most about RC. Really nice to exchange experiences and help eachother out. But I do find it very facinating that my friend has never experienced winter and snow! Like wow, never seen snow! I've seen enough snow to last for a lifetime and pretty much wish I could just do like the birds in autumn- move south for the winter and come back in spring!
Well to make a long post less long, I'd better round it up now and head to bed.
So nights, and I'll update again through the week.

Mid-week!
Yay, halfway through the work week! Only 2 more workdays now and then I can just do whatever I want for 2 days. I'm planning to start looking for Christmas presents this weekend since I can't go shopping at all after work (shops close at the same time I'm off work, or close shortly after), and I don't want to do all my shopping the day before Christmas LOL I already pretty much know what to buy for my husband, but I'm not going to shout it out here in case he reads my blog tehe
I bought some Christmas lights for outdoor use today in the supermarket. Put it up on the handrail on the balcony, so now the balcony looks really pretty. Going to put up more lights both inside and outside but that will have to be in the weekend so I can put it up in daylight. It was indeed quite complicated to put up lights on the balcony in darkness, and the only light I had when putting the lights up today was from the kitchen through the kitchen window, but that light was pretty limited.
My feet hurts pretty bad today. Have been standing pretty much in the same place all day at work, in a pair of hard protection shoes! I really need to put better insoles in them because I always get pain in my feet from those shoes, especially in the front pad of my feet. And if I don't have insoles with some arch support in those shoes I get severe pain from a nearly 5 year old ankle injury. Right now I have gel insoles in my working shoes, but it doesn't help much. Need something better, and mainly need something wich is very soft in the front part, good support for the arch and stable for the heel. I quite wish Crocs would make safety shoes! I can wear Crocs all day at work without getting pain. But since we have forklifts that weighs well over a ton, we are (finally) required to wear safety shoes that can take at least about 500kg pressure. Sure, it can't resist the weight of the biggest forklifts, but it can make that empty pallet or heavy box hurt less if dropping it on the foot! And it will give some protection hopefully if being run over on the feet by a forklift, better protection than sport shoes or a pair of Crocs anyways.
But when it comes to safety shoes and playing table tennis... Well, not the best of combinations LOL I played today in the break with some workmates and of course hit my big toe quite hard into the steel shell in the front part of my shoe when trying to hit the ball! That hurt big time I dare say, not far from running toe first into a door frame or furniture! It was pretty much the same, only differece was that it was my foot sliding inside my shoe into the steel, rather than accidentially kicking on some object. The tip of my right big toe is still a bit tender now from sliding into the hard part of my shoe. If I play table tennis tomorrow I'll make sure to have the velcro strap more firm onto my foot so my foot can't slide forwards in the shoe when running. We play around the table by the way, hence the running. Today I won 2-3 times something and was in the final almost everytime, even after hurting my toe.
Hanging on Restaurant City right now at the same time as I write this. Some limited dishes on there now, but something tells me it will be just as difficult to get the ingredients this time as it was for the Halloween dishes. I managed to unlock all the Halloween dishes, but I'm yet to find two apples, one pumpkin and one turkey to unlock all the Thanksgiving dishes. I did manage to get butter as a free ingredient when answering the quiz today, and that enabled me to unlock the Corn on the cob dish. And I was lucky enough to get bread as a first friend visit ingredient when visiting a newly added friend today :)
To make sure I unlock the dishes, I'll resort to buying Playfish Cash tomorrow to buy some ingredients with that, just to unlock the dishes before they're gone once and for all. I was planning to buy some Playfish cash about now anyways, so I don't mind having to buy ingredients that way now. It's by far easier than adding tons of friends on Facebook just for trading. I'm also going to help a friend get some ingredients and other items :) That's just how I am... I like to help, and to give gifts :) At least when I have known someone for a longer period of time, and this person is someone I've "known" for nearly 2 years now, but we haven't been facebook friends until now, just been on the same petting list in (fluff)Friends. But he did give me quite a laugh on Twitter earlier today LOL Took some time before he realised who I am :D At least that made my day more fun while working. Oops, yes, I'm guilty as charged! I update on Twitter while working :O LOL But really, it only takes a few seconds on my iPhone, so it's no problem :)
Now I wish my hair would dry a bit faster so I can go to sleep soon. Quite tired today even after all that coffee I've had at work.
Oh, and when I've finished Christmas decorating at home, I'll take some pictures and post on here. With some luck, it will be up in the weekend.
