Christmas @ Allan & Dawn

Allan and Dawn invited us to their house for a Housewarming cum Christmas Party. Their house is on the 30th floor opposite Red Hill MRT. Super high HDB, so much so that the life has a number pad for keying the floor you want to go to!

We have a lot of fun and a lot of food! I call it the Super Duper Eat and Eat Christmas Gathering!

Bonus for X'mas: Meng Meng's Girlfriend!

We eat...

There is a new Swenson branch at VivoCity which serves an entirely different menu from the other branches. It is called the Swenson Eagles Restaurant. The food is quite good and the ambience is pretty relaxing :P

Crispy Chicken Cutlet

NEL Breakdown

I am in a NEL train heading towards HabourFront now. The train has stopped in the tunnel before Outram Park for the past 15 minutes. Sob.

Similar People

I am sure that you have encountered people who look similar to someone you know. They can look so similar that you keep thinking whether they are the same people, making you uncomfortable because you have to keep reminding yourself that they are not the same person.

I have a colleague that is very similar to my friend Alan, except that he don't look similar, but behave very similarly. The way he speaks, the way he tells jokes, the way he laugh and the kind of jokes he tells... he is just driving me crazy. I mean he sure looks different, but the mannerism is just too familiar, it really creeps me out.

I have to keep telling myself, this is not Alan, this is not Alan.... Ahhh!!!

Birthday Celebration with Best Cake

We celebrated the Melioris Gals and Guy September Birthday today with a Passion Fruit Meringue from the one of the best cake shop in Singapore.

The name of the shop is The Patissier

Happy Birthday Catherine, Yew Hoong, Sally and Chloe!

From Melioris Sept...

Pink Mouse

One of my last purchases as Tech Manager :P

Wara Birthday and Seasons Reasons

Today is Wara's birthday. Veron, Chiou Lih and I went to the new MarketPlace at Raffles City to have lunch with Wara. After much deliberation, we finally decided to eat at very nice restaurant Seasons Reasons.

The food is good and the service is excellent. The waiter overheard us talking about Wara's birthday, and give her a cake :P

The flowers on the tables are real, although for a moment we thought they are fake... until we peel off a petal or two :P

The soup of the day is pumpkin soup. I like it very much but the girls did not like it. The waiter offered to get us another bowl of cream of mushroom when we commented it was too blend. We declined :P

Peach tea that have real peach slices :P

The roasted spring Autumn chicken (their pun, not mine) is good.

This is what I ordered: stirred fried beef with rice (the actual name is much better, but I cannot recall liao :P). The beef is very tender and the gravy is very fragrant and goes well with the meat. The rice has this very nice spice taste to it. Must try.

This lavendar lamb steak is very unique. The little petals sprinkled on the steak brings about a interesting combination of fragrance and taste.

Quit

I have quited from my job and will be starting on a new job in October. Everyone I know from my company who had already left was happy to hear that I have finally decided to leave too.

My bosses tried to persuade me to stay but I felt that this is the best time to move on as there are closures to most of the projects and work I have started.

Oh well, like the saying goes No one is indispensable. :D

Blog Entry from O2 Mini

This is the first blog entry I write using my O2 Mini. I hope it turn up well.

As you might notice, I have changed the theme of my blog again. This is because I am trying out the new features for the Blogger Beta.

Well, I will update again real soon. :-)

Singapore's Japanese Food Central

Raymond brought me to Cuppage Plaza today. I did not know that there are so many Japanese restaurants there. And there seems to be a lot of Japanese folks eating there, so the food must be good (MWLogic ®). We visited a restaurant on the third floor. The menu was written in Japanese and English, but the English is just the Japanese words in alphabets. There are no pictures, no explanation whatsoever so we cannot really tell what the items on the menu are except for the few with recognizable chinese characters or familiar terms I learned from watching too much anime. For a minute there, I thought I need to do the "close my eyes and point at the menu" thing, but it turned out that the waitress speaks perfect Chinese. Whew!

We got a seat at the door in the very very crowded restaurant. So we got to see what other people ordered. The food was great, so I definitely plan on going back there!

Chicken Rice?

Very good tempura

Fantastic Grilled Salmon

Grilled Beef Set

Anyway, Monster House is 4.5 Stars. Definitely worth your tix.
