last week, mummy was getting herself engaged in trying out the suan pan
zi recipe coz daddy said he wants to eat suan pan zi. almost every
other day mum was making suan pan zi. when i commented.. " why u want put so much effort? ". i saw it as a rather tideous process, all that yam and moulding etc.
mum's reply was.. " your daddy wants to eat ". and yes, i know its out of love.
and den mummy said.. " next time u want mummy's taste also dun have already
". she said it jokingly but i know its so real. and i know everyone
loves their own mummy's taste. their mums don't have to be the greatest
chef but they just have this taste dats pretty unique to themselves in
terms of the things they cook.
my mummy's unique cooking taste would come in her soup, her porridge,
her vegetable rice, the ketchup sting ray she specially prepares for me
coz i dun really take chilli.. and many more.
den mummy added.. " dun worry, next time u want mummy's taste, you find mei mei.. i teach her already ". aunt lisa who was around as well said... " ya, ur mummy all inherit to mei mei already "
and mummy said.. " i will teach mei mei how to steam chicken and fish ". hahaha... yes, even a simple steamed dish actually also has mummy's taste. it is different.
although we began joking abt how mei mei must cook for me next time upon request, deep down, i never want to lose mummy's taste.
No one takes what i say seriously. No one remembers, no one cares!
and no one takes what they say to me seriously. No one remembers, no one cares!
its ok if its just acquaintances, i probably won't bother to remember what they said either.
But these are people who are called friends. Best friends, close friends. My ass.
Now everyone shall be just called people-i-hang-out-with.
So den its ok if we don't hang out anymore. its ok if you forgot that we are meeting. its ok that you forgot that we were supposed to head somewhere together. its ok if it didnt occur to you that we are a group of friends who should stick together. its ok if it didnt come into your consideration that you should spare a thought for my feelings, my emotions, my benefit, my well being.
Because, we are just people who happen to hang out. AND LIKEWISE, NONE OF YOU WILL MATTER ANYMORE!
was texting xinying saying that i miss lil prince charming and the kind
mother offered a date for sleeping beauty and precious prince
charming.
We arranged to meet today and i brought
them to my new found love - The.Indulge @ The
Cathay.
as soon as i got there, the precious prince
charmed worked his charms on me again. He was crawling and playing
around and looks as adorable as ever!
see
how he greets me?
and
den he dian
me...
it
was.... happily ever after until.....
i
guess dats wat scared most of my ex-bfs away...
hahahaha.
more pics of the cute prince charming...
we
shared the chinese salmon sashimi....
introduced
it to xinying and she loved it too. most importantly, lil prince
charming can eat the avocado!
our set meals came
with the fried prawns with garlic mayo
sauce...
tried
alex's the last time n loved it. its big and crunchy and the sunflower
seeds gave a very fragrant finishing touch!
pumpkin
soup...
again,
one of the better pumpkin soup i've tried.
for
mains, this time round i had the ribeye that alex had the last
time...
done
medium rare...
the
steak was average. the sauce was not bad.. the mushroom and all. While
it was average, i felt dat all in all The.Indulge deserves a lot more
popularity den it has now. It was so quiet the last time i was here.
Likewise for today. I couldnt help but compare it with the buzzing
Astons upstairs. is it the location? coz i dun haf their food any much
more expensive den Astons but i find their quality n variety much much
better!
xinying had a cream sauce lobster pasta...
it
was SO GOOD!
the lobster is not some mini crayfish
sized lobster. its a good decent sized
lobster!
and
the cream sauce was SO GOOD! been awhile since i had such a yummy cream
sauced pasta! THUMBS UP! THUMBS UP! THUMBS UP!
i
recalled abt the gourmet popcorns counter at the side. i exited for
awhile to order a packet of the sourcream one to go and got a free
sample pack in for xinying to try...
she
agreed its good too!
and for desserts, we went for
the avocado smoothie..
couldnt
quite taste the avocado. it has a lemonish taste. hmm.. reminded me of
the green popsicle with vanilla ice cream dat we used to haf during old
school days.
xinying had the chocolate panna cotta
with chocolate ice cream...
the
panna cotta tasted more like pudding. was ok.
and
yeah, this is the gourmet popcorn place....
their
sourcream popcorn is SO GOOD! u gotta try it and it comes in very nice
packaging! the sample size is so cute!
we
sat around for awhile more before doing some shopping at plaza sing.
Carol was telling me about some singha party @ Sterolab which
she saw on fb. Apparently its some new club @ Pan Pacific
Hotel. The arrangement was to head there first before catching crabby @
Dragonfly.
So anyway, Carol picked me up and we
headed over to Sterolab. I was telling her how on fb it stated RSVP is
required via email. I tried to RSVP but they said its full but she said
her friend insists we can just click 'Will Be Attending'. So anyway, we
went. Found our name not on guestlist. Quick thinking on Carol's part
still brought us in as the door bitch was flipping the list in front of
us. Carol went.. " Roy. Roy is coming later right?
" and i went.. " yup! " HAHAHA.. good coordination
on my part!
Singha party!
we
thot there would be Mac products. turned out to be a $20 vouchers off
$100 purchase. The whole party was pretty slow. Don't really
like the music @ sterolab.
Carol's friends came
down as well.
Carol and one of her close gf
Wendy...
Wendy,
Dominique and myself...
Kwang
and friend also came by for awhile...
Nelson
and myself...
Dominique
and Carol....
me
and Dominique...
Carol
and Nelson...
I
left around 12 to look for Crabby who den said party @ Dragonfly is
gonna shift to Sabai Sabai. Hmm.. not keen! den as i was on my way
home.. she texted to say its still gona be at Dragonfly...
*yawnz*
very very busy day at work. Mindy asked me to do some voice recording
for another video. It feels so damn funny listening to your own voice
on recording!
After
the busy day at work, i went to meet up with Aaron & Co. for
Oktoberfest! I had loads of work to clear so they were already at
Paulaners when i got there. the place was packed!
the
guys ordered sausages and pork knuckle to share.
the
spiral sausage...
which
was just alright in my view.
the pork knuckle...
which
was not bad but i kinda prefer stammisch's!
we were
seated outdoors by the roadside...
some
pics of the group. Mainly boys from our college except Steven and his
wifey who were Aaron's uni mates in Hawaii...
adrian
and kaifeng...
aaron
and myself...
aaron
just started work. managed to link him up to the right person and i'm
happy for him! i really should consider changing my job to be a
recruiter. haha.. i really find joy in helping people get a job. maybe
its coz i koe how tough it was to find a job... esp so in finding a job
you really like. But den again, i really really like my current job! I
may complain at times but i love my job!
Steven and
wifey..
Aaron
was sharing with us that there is this particular song that is usually
sang during festivals in germany and i made him teach us the
song..
bumped into
Lily!
babelicious
as ever!
initially we were seated outdoors and
feeling quite bored. but at a certain hour, the music started, everyone
went indoors where it got ALL HAPPENING! i shall leave the pics to do
most of the talking!
these
boys are from Munich!
aaron
with the babes!
everyone
was going Cheers every other 30 seconds or
so!
initially
when we were sitting outside, a couple of us (including myself) were
saying we need to leave earlier coz we gotta work
tml.
But when the spirits got high and fun got
magnified, Jiawen who also had to work tomorrow, said.. "
what is work? "
it
was really a BLAST!
earlier when it was super
packed, i was standing near a chef trying to wait for a server coz i
was dying of thirst and badly needed water. i was prepared to pay like
$7 for mineral water. The chef kinda recognised me. He has knocked off
and was partying hard with us! He gave me this ultra cute beer barrel
hat!
cute
right?
but turned out it didnt belong to him or his
friend. haha.. belongs to another patron but im happy enuff having the
pics!
it was bottoms up all the way!
the
band was singing song after song.. everyone was dancing,
singing and cheering along!
feel
the spirits!
and they really sang
the festive song that aaron taught us
earlier!
group pictures of
us!
aaron
dancing with a hot germany babe!
and
aaron kept urging me to dance with this caucasian guy.. ok. i
forgot his name already.. all i rem is dat he told me he lives in
singapore too and stays around eunos.
the
chef was actually really nice.. offering us some dishes of food. a
picture with him
Oktoberfest

BLAST!
