well it's too late to wish singapore a happy birthday...since that was yesterday.
and what a way to celebrate national day the nj way. get your groupmates together and do PW the whole afternoon with lotsa food and the TV on the olympics.
dinner was...better than average i would say. buffet dinner at the Square to celebrate my brother's birthday. food was nice, but not the 'terrific!' or 'the best!' as i expected from a nice restaurant like that. but a few nice items found in the buffet considering my picky nature.
-Smoked Salmon Mousse (quite nice)
-Roasted Duck (average, a little dry?)
-Pork Satay ( there are better ones around, average)
-Mantou (dry, cold, edible but rather not have taken it.)
-Salmon sushi
-Prata (nice, as it wasn't oily, was crispy and had layers. I ate it with chocolate from the fountain since i couldn't find any sugar (: )
-Cereal Prawn (nice big juicy prawns, crispy cereal, but can be found in many chinese restaurants too, too bad it was fried with chilli, if not i would have liked it better.)
on to dessert, loved this part of the buffet the most
-mango parfait (the best of the whole buffet. except for the sour rasberry)
-oreo cheesecake ( nice enough, but still like whisk's and rive gauche's oreo cheesecake better)
-pandan creme brulee (nice combination, but would have preferred individual servings, and NOT lime green.
-lychee and lime jelly (taste was nice if it could have been a little stronger, a little sweeter)
-bread and butter pudding (vanilla cream was nice, but the pudding wasn't suited to my tastes)
that's my dinner. which resulted in a bulging tummy after.
there was more at the buffet which i didn't touch, like sashimi, chilli crab, laksa, curry chicken, carrot cake etc., which were coincidentally the oily stuff.haha.

I had no idea there were guys in nj that rebellious. Ok, it should have been expected, but it was suprising all the same. A guy who had an ear piercing on his left ear. Well, congrats on not getting caught yet pal :)

I think it was the best present i ever got myself. Out of the many things i splurged on during birthday season for no reason, i would use my own birthday as an excuse to convince myself that it was money well spent on myself. Ranging from clothes, to food, to entertainment...my wallet and card was constantly open, to much regret.
But this post is not about regret, its about me complementing the film, 'The Leap Years', a singaporean production, which i am very proud of to own a vcd of. Despite the critic i read about it only, from an average romantic's point of they, i think it was a great movie. Especially loved the plot. It was the kind of movie i expected when i saw that trailer many months ago, but after i watched it, it was better:) only sad thing is that i couldn't get to watch it on february 29th. A few months have passed, but i don't think i'm as patient as Li Ann to wait four years...to watch a vcd.
It left a similar after-movie feeling to Wedding Daze. But i'm guessing this affected me more due to a singapore context, and well i consider february 29th a very special day.
Well if you thought i was a little dao, dazed, emo or just a little quiet today, don't mind it. Nothing about you, just the movie that set me thinking. Such things are storylines, thought up by very imaginative, or you could say inspirational people and deliver it.thank you for that.
Life goes on.

oh man.
and i typed this one my phone while i waited for my brother who went to the toilet last night before the movie.
"Its saturday,golden village at tiong bahru, 15min to midnight.the cinema lobby is full, there's slow human traffic. People are still queuing for tickets and popcorn. This is just a glimpse of a weekend nightlife at a heartland mall."
lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICIA! great party you had today, and you've gotta thank your brother and joanne for their patience and the wonderful job they did planning and carrying out the games. continue smiling and have a great trip to kansas!
You Communicate Like a Man |
 When you communicate, you like to get to the point. You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that. Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself. You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows. |

the dark knight
fresh back from the cinema right now. it was much longer than i expected. lots of twists and turns, so not predictable, which is rather refreshing. and now, after the second movie, christian bale is hot. charming in a way.love the bikes, condolences to the car(s). especially the lamborghini. it was a beau. the only unrealistic part was...the pain. i don't like movies with pain. overall. good movie. thankfully i didn't fall asleep.
wish you were there beside me.

you know the familiar acronym - TGIF? -thank god it's friday.
i wouldn't say it is for me. only the weekend i look forward to, but not the day friday itself. not only is it my busiest day from morning to night, its the day that my body feels the weakest from the accumulated stresses and deprived sleep. and so like today, i'm falling sick. but i'll feel better by saturday morning, as always. remember how an apple a day keep the doctor away? i'm eating one now (:
except i don't want to keep this doctor away.
today, i felt that i was just...deprived. of hockey that is. and i really do not like waiting for buses and waiting on the bus. it feels like eternity especially when you're in a rush. and rushing around like that, was just not healthy, causing impatience, stress and all. i just want a slower pace of life.
the week generally wasn't too bad, although i have no idea why i slept late through the week despite the lessened workload .hm.
my aspiring career has seemed to shift again. from business women, to pastry chef cum cafe owner, and now a hotel manager. i'm sure there were a few in between like commercial air pilot, restaurant chef(culinary), writer etc. i imagine myself, owning the hotel cum chalet, running it smoothly, and it's pretty hot and well, generates profits. but the flaw in my dream is that i'm always working alone. there's no partners, no shareholders, i'm the only one. of course there'll be workers working under me, but i'm like the big boss, supervisor, running the hotel aspect, cafe, restaurant, bar, everything! and i pop up in my own hotel as the pastry chef, waitress, concierge, and of course hotel manager. but i person is only entitled to one job/position right? i mean like i can't be the waitress AND the hotel manager.oh wells. we'll see if that changes when the time comes to decide yea?
can't wait.
