Couldn't get down to posting... (this is practically a food BINGE-blog)
I'm officially a shop-on-line geek!!! argh... I need to stop staring at my favourite shopping pg so often!
The previous Sat, the WW gang met up to go to the Science Centre for the Pix@r exhibition and to post celeb Jeff's b'day. The 2 saving grace of the Sakura buffet - the baked oyster+cheese+rice thingy and the salmon sashimi. The Konnyaku was good too... What really spoilt it all was the chicken satay that was 'grilled-to-order'... It was not good, it was spoilt... very spoilt... (for one to actually smell the stench from the chicken satay above the char from the grilling and the satay sauce...!!!! It was BAD...) I'm NOT going back there again. At least the XO Fishhead dinner and ice cream waffle with Ting and E the day after was GOOD... hee hee. I met them after my church choir prac and after their WW prac.
Finally met up with the 2FSG guys last Tues - for lunch at Hanabi - remind me again why i don't like going for buffet...??? - The standard at Katong mall was better (but no more already) This one at Odeon Tower was just lacking. Only the Teppanyakis were good. So, yes - Finally passed R the stuff tht i brought back from HK.... 2 months already!!! '-_-''''''' Other midwk binges - included Korean (i still like Kimchi) with Jiejie and dinner with J at Hacienda on Wed... It was a week of going to town and Clementi... Specs had problem (again!!!) so finally just put on my contacts and sent it in to get the frame changed.
As some lessons were cancelled, moved, blah... Met up with my cuz for Cedele lunch and TWG tea on Sat. Lunch at Cedele was pleasant. Had i known there was complimentary bread tht came with the soup, i wouldn't have gone for a sandwich for my main. It was good though. I'm a fan of tender red meat. Thanks to my cuzzin's F & B industry 'status' we had 3 complimentary macarons. Only the Earl grey was good. Didn't really like the raspberry or the caramel ones. All that was before going for St. Martin's, directed by Joshua Bell last Sat. It was good, to say the least. More details in the 'academic' blog. One downside - smethin tht Jer agreed with - was tht Beethoven 7th was a bit lacking... Not cuz they ain't good. They were excellent actually - clean lines, effective phrasing and dynamics, Mr Bell's interesting and refreshing interpretation of the pieces) but we both thought if the ensemble were a bit bigger, the sound would have been richer, thus sounding 'more' Beethoven... (there again who are we to comment... maybe orchestra music of those times are not meant to be so thick and heavy as we understand it to be?) I'm going to start doing a bit of searching about this... 1 fine day... haha. And cuz, Jer and I bumped into some... 'pple', had to change supper plans from MSXW to MM... ya, supper at aRistorante bologna... we mde their 'last order' and their last customer for the day.
The Sunday that just passed, i met up with the 2 NIE xiao didi for dinner... ES and Law seem to be doing reasonably well... It has been ages since we last met... and it was a fun time reminiscing the past and catching up... (We're mtg again soon for some "TDS" - haha, no, it's not the name of a drug... ) It's the acronym of the place i SHOULD really stop intro-ing pple to... unless i've got shares in it...!!! haha. Hope it doesn't get too commercialized... cuz together with tht, quality drops... no no no... i want it to remain like this, always...!
