TUESDAY
Mum’s bday and the birthday girl got to choose her preferred dinner location. After reading a review in the papers, she decided to go to The Black Sheep Café at Mayo Street. For starters, I didn’t like the location. Go find out for yourself where it’s at. It was as dodgy as a street can get. But anyway, I was hoping for abit more once we stepped into the restaurant but even ambience wise, it wasn’t much. It’s a very small place, probably sits less than 25 people. Décor was sparse and I think they wanted the place to have the antique feel but it just looked anyhow done up at a low budget. But it’s all about the food eventually eh? For starters, we ordered foie gras and brie cheese. Both were good and I was so glad to see some decent sized foie gras cos I love that shit to death. The menu was very limited though. There were just 3 main dishes to choose from - fish, duck and lamb. And 1 daily special - beef. So the 6 of us ordered 2 fish, 2 duck, 1 lamb and 1 beef. Other than the beef, I tried everything else. I think only the duck was quite good. The fish changes daily and I was told for that day, it was NZ fish in batter. I expected it to be deep fried but it came out I don’t even know what. It looked a cross between being steamed and grilled. And it was tiny. It was about the length of your palm, and the width of your fourth finger and your pinkie together. Pathetic and the fishy was so damn fishy it nearly made me gag. The lamb shank was quite a good size and I’m not someone who’s really affected by the lamb smell but this was bad. Moving on to dessert, we had soufflé with ice cream, banana crepes and flourless chocolate cake. My fave? The ice cream that came with all the dessert. The soufflé really wasn’t very good, the banana crepe was far too soggy and the flourless chocolate cake was not bad, but it seemed to be trying to be molton lava cake and it’s not a good sign when once I tried abit of the cake, it made me crave for Ricciotti’s Sofiato. Haha. Lastly, service wasn’t bad. But it wasn’t good either. To order 1 drink 3 times cos they either got it wrong or they forgot to write it down or whatever and still get it wrong, when it came was pretty hard to understand, especially when they write down everything and the whole place had no other customers. So it was really hard for me to understand why. So after all this complaining, I’m definitely not returning there a second time and let me complain here lah. Can’t possibly complain to the mother cos it was her bday and she was the one who chose the place. Haha. Anyway, went home to sing her a bday song, took some fotos and had cake (cookies and cream cheesecake from Bakerzin. I hate to complain so much but I really didn’t like the cake either. Haha.
* Photos with the boy~
Anyway, later that night while I was at my place’s lobby, I saw a man get out of a cab and as he walked, he waved at the cab or whoever was in the cab and just that few seconds of not looking where he was walking, he tripped and fell into the pool/ water feature/ whatever you call that. He caused such a big splash it gave me a shock and he didn’t just step into it. He was dripping from head to toe after he stood up. I’m not sure if he saw me but I sure hope he didn’t cos the poor chap must be embarrassed as hell.
WEDNESDAY
A night was supper at XDL with my bitches. I love sitting outside for supper cos not only can I light up as and when between food, it’s more cooling outside than inside! And we sat there til everybody else left and the shop was just waiting for us to leave before they close up. And that was probably close to 2am. And as we were talking, we started talking about secondary school because somebody decided to put our sec 4 class photo on FB. FaB. Sec 4 was 10 years ago. And somebody suggested we get the entire class together once again and get everyone to stand in the same position as the picture and take another photo. Haha.
THURSDAY
Mel’s birthday! She insists she’s turning 21, ignoring the additions sooooooo HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVE CUZZIE OF ALL TIME!!! I love this girl to death and I’m looking forward to her birthday bash this weekend! Love, Hugs & Smoochies~
In the evening, drove down to Wisma cos Bryan invited us for FCUK’s event and not only was there free booze, discounts off merchandise, cute guys, a fashion show and goodie bag, I got to meet up with all my lovelies, Gong Wen included! Of course Mandy dear couldn’t join us cos that girl is in Greenland! But I’m sure once she gets back, either before or after our Bali trip, we’ll plan another meet-up with full attendance please!
* Whoever has the other picture we took outside Wisma, please send it to me~
When I got home at about 5am and turned on my com, I found out that Mandy had lost her luggage. It’s a terrible thing to happen, especially when you’re in sucha freaking cold country. I hope my dear girl is not too affected by that and I’m crossing my fingers that she won’t have a problem getting or replacing the necessary stuff.
FRIDAY
Watched Fast and Furious 4 at night and I liked it! Cars not as impressive and flashy as the previous ones, but story was pretty good. Worth watching! But Gran Torino still ranks high in the skies. Had some Macs with tubs before the movie and I love the new Chicken Munchees. The 6 piece set consists of 2 nuggets, 2 McWings and 2 spicy chicken fillet. Yummers. I love it all and because it’s only 2 pieces each, it doesn’t get boring.
SATURDAY
Around 6pm, tubs and I set off for his birthday dinner surprise from me. I had requested for good seats and that’s what they gave us. Everything was great except for the mosquitoes and the lack of a sunset cos it was too hazy that day. I brought tubs to Barnacles at Rasa Sentosa and we had a great view of the South China Sea. In fact, we were sitting in front of it with nothing in the way to block us. Thank god I booked it early cos the sun went down really quickly. We had seafood and more seafood and I enjoyed the French Onion Soup and the lobster the most! And the people there were nice enuff to bring out a complimentary Tiramisu cake for the birthday boy and before we left, a group of people came round playing some music and it was nice just sitting there watching them while drinking beer. I hope my baby boy loved it and I’m not going to post a lot of the pictures we took there over here cos he has a special request for his bday present which I shall not reveal.
Ok.. maybe just a teaser.
Dropped by Mel’s party after we were done at Sentosa. I loved her room. Even though the Jacuzzi turned out unexpectedly small, but the whole place was nice. I love big toilets. It even had a couch in the toilet. Even though the room I had for my birthday was pretty big and had a big Jacuzzi etc, Mel’s was really luxurious and cosy at the same time. We didn’t stay for too long though and I forgot to take a picture with her lah. *sigh*
Tubs didn’t want a celebration so after we left Mel’s, we went to pick Chan up and we went to JB for Kway Chup, ILT, ciggies, petrol and car wash. By the time we came back, it was oready close to 3am and so we met Alex at the block to slack.
SUNDAY
Darl’s birthday! Happy birthday baby boy! I love you to bits and hope you had a great time on your birthday. Come to think of it and what you requested for your birthday present, it’s more like celebrating your birthMONTH cos your present/ presents are split up throughout the whole month lor. How sneaky of you eh. Haha.
Anyway, we tapaoed some food in the afternoon and then we went to his grand folk’s place to visit them cos his granny had a fall earlier in the week. We stayed there til it was time for dinner with his family. Dinner was at Honjin.
Everyone used to love the buffet there but this time it was terrible. Everyone barely ate and it was an absolute disappointment. It’s crazy how much the standards have dropped. You know it’s bad when someone can say the best part of the dinner is the fresh fruits. Haha. Went PS to walk around for abit and then it was back to his place.
That’s about it for the past week folks. I think the upcoming week is gonna be quite busy as well, with Jane’s pre-bday celebration, Good Friday, Qing Ming, Mandy dear coming back, Bali trip etc.
It was great meeting Jes for dinner, walk walk and slacking session at Tampines just now man. It seems like forever since I last met her. Hahaha. And now being sleepless once again, thank god for Ling who’s online too. Haven’t had a proper conversation with her in a damn long time man.
