Food!!!!

A crazy week went past yet again. Had sooo many brekkies and dinners that I think I put on weight too fast! :D Dearest Stephen bro bought me brekkie for the whole week! Feel blessed and thankful!

07 June 2011 (Tues) - Dinner at Hotel 1921, Restaurant Ember. Located at Chinatown, I have never imagined myself eating in the restaurant of this boutique hotel. It was a client meeting (not my client of coz). I was nervy and unsure when I went as I've never met this guy before and I had no idea what to expect. But having been to so many broker dinners now, I knew I had to open up and chat so I went with an open mind. Verdict: food was excellent, service was great, but what really swept me off my feet were the 3 bottles of vintage wines that the client brought along. 1982 Chateau Lynch Bages (1 of the best years for wine, not to mention.. my year of birth!) & the 1990 burgundy - magnificent!


08 June 2011 (Wed) - Broker dinner at Orchard Parade Hotel, Akanoya after a lunch of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at a food court. Stepping into Akanoya, I thought I had reached Japan. Everything about it just had this Japanese flavor to it! An eye-opener for me! Most memorable event of the nite: when I took on the challenge from my broker to down half a pint of Sake in 1 shot. Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and there was a 3 second silence as I did it. My brokers and traders were dying to see if I would puke or get high but all went home disappointed. Disappointment struck them again when I appeared at work on time and was perfectly fine for the whole day. But the story spread like wildfire - even my boss who came back from leave the following week heard about it. :p


09 June 2011 (Thurs) - Dinner at Orchard Mandarin, Triple 3 with Ky, Jac & Peg. Buffet dinner that was very expensive and definitely not worth it. Plus the lousy service, thanks but no thanks. I'm definitely not going back there again. Nothing matters more than the companionship of my family. :)


Weekend was spent in KL with some tennis and a massage. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's client dinner again. I suggested the place this time - Hachi! The place where KW brought Kelv and I to have our bday dinner. :D My mouth is watering at the thought of the dessert wine that the client will be bringing this time!! Can't wait!!

Neither can I wait to down the 24 bottles of Apple Cider Beer that I ordered and was delivered to my house yesterday!!! Wooott!! But before that, I shall hang up my laundry now, pack my room a little (trying to make my entire house really nice to suit the new furniture - dining & living room area looks really nice now!!) and to have some of the yummy chocolate coated orange biscuits from London!!! :D It's all food, food and more food!!!!

walking in the woods...

i was watching a tv show just now when i heard this description of love.. "love is like walking in the woods. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see, but there are people who cannot decide which tree they prefer. in the end, these people walk out of the woods alone, without finding any tree that they love". i find it quite meaningful. the woods may be big, but some people do manage to find a tree that they love. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see and it stays that way forever. some.. walk through the whole woods but due to indecisiveness, are not able to find any tree that they love coz they have either missed the chance n it's too late to turn back or they might have given up the chance. will they regret? some people do but some people don't. there's always 2 sides to a coin, isn't it? some people might have walked into the woods, found a tree that they loved n lost but yet found another tree to stay together wit

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to
