ok. i heart my comfort food. as well as good food. =D

went for the 2nd hgw gtg at tea cosy located in plaza singapura on friday night with line and boyfriend. =D hahaha. i tell you. i am in love with good food. like totally.

menu for the night: home-made creamy mushroom soup. decadent salad. mains were choices of laksa pesto. grilled lime chicken. pan-fried dory with lemon butter sauce. signature pan-fried foie gras. desserts and drinks were not included in the set dinner but we could still order. no issue. =D so between the 3 of us we had the fat bastard chardonnay and shiraz. (read: fat bastard being the label.) and ebony and ivory. (read: fudge brownie with premium vanilla ice cream.)

the place was attas in a way that you are sitting on furniture that can be bought on the spot. it's more like a antique/furniture shop rather than a restaurant. but hey! it was an interesting concept alright! =D

met a new makan kaki that night. ah bui with his friends. =D too bad didn't get to meet contrarian. but finally get to chat with panerai who was sitting at the neighbouring table. and hoongy who joined the 3 of us and asked about couzin. dg who came over nearer the end of the event and was chatting happily away to shu kai about bkk. =D

without further delays. let's start on the food! yummy yummy! =D

this's the mushroom soup. not too bad. i like the flower deco and the bits of mushroom in every sip. =D but i like the electric pepper grinder even more! hahaha. =D so high class lo. me and hoongy were fascinated by it. =D

that's my fat bastard chardonnay with my soup (unstirred) and hoongy's soup (stirred). =D

this's the decadent salad. not sure what decadent means though. self-indulgence? hmmmz. but was really good. mountain of leaves with a soft-boiled egg. lightly grilled prawns. bits of foie gras. drizzled with mayo. sinful sinful! =D

that's line's dory. not too bad. and the garlic potato was something refreshing. (though i didn't try coz me and garlic? no no.) =D

and this's hoongy's lime chicken (minus 1 piece of broccoli coz he didn't know i was going to take a pic. =D) looks fusion yeah? but panerai and him said that it was more thai styled lehz. *shrugz* i am not a big fan of thai food. so yeah. =X

and finally finally my much hearted foie gras! =D first time eating it. was apprehensive at first. but then i fell in love with it! crispy on the outside. but melts in your mouth... *droolz* can i have more please? =D the sauces/dressings by the sides were alright. mustard. marmalade and balsimic. i figured out the first 2 by myself. but needed panerai's help with the 3rd. like what he said. muz hang out with them more then can know these kinda things better. =D future training! =D

the brownies with ice cream looks so attas too right? =D but was really good. for a non-chocolate lover like me. i love it. no bitter chocolate aftertaste like the others. =D

yeah. that's their latte which was hoongy's =D

after dinner was off to meet ray and second round of dinner. chicken rice! =D

and off for desserts at rocher place! =D

then went to play lan. warcraft! =D hahaha. my first time! and i kept dying! =X heng i managed to get the heng of it after a while and leveled till 10 before we won the game! =D

slept for an hour before heading to work for opening. tired. but really an enjoyable day! =D

ps: i love good food! more to come next month! =D

i realized i have a lot of vices. and after throwing my temper that day. was really glad the person was honest enough to tell me what went wrong. it hurt. but it was a reality check for me. a reality check that was way past due.

my vices would be things that eats up most into my salary. minus away the share i give mummy. let's do some calculations. 500 for mummy. 50 for electricity bill. 40 for my ez link card. 50 for handphone. recently started a savings account. so less 150. then 200 aside each month for holidays. so balance would be 300 to 400 for my vices. and it will be zero at month end after all the food trips. books. yepz. think i am a big spender. especially on food. =X like what beloved and mummy mentioned over dinner. hawker centre is not my kinda thing anymore. maybe it's true to an extent. i've grown more particular over food and perhaps it's not such a good thing after all. =X sighz. but i love my food. =X

... ...

sometimes i'm not sure what i'm doing too. like i know what i want from my life. but not sure why i am doing a particular thing. not sure if you get what i mean. arrghz.

i have a problem of thinking straight now i think. mind's all jumbled up. trains of thoughts are jumping rails inside. things like work. friends. thank god family's no prob.

... ...

why is everyone i know leaving? and after re-reading posts from a few years back. i wonder how long can this friendship last? and after going out over the weekends with the crez peepz. it's really ages since we first knew each other. like beloved. have known her for like 10 years. mummy and yy too. grandma is like 8 years. and many years' friend? 16 years. man. am i getting old. =X

i wonder what will i be doing on my birthday? working? or taking a break?

*i didn't know my mood can affect him in ways i would have never imagined possible.*

a 2 hour spontaneous meet up generated much happiness laced with a tinge of bitterness. i can't ask for more no matter how much more i want. i need to hold back before i get 3rd degree burns. but he's not making things easy for me.

i miss my naughty boy already. =X

the unrelenting rays of sun beating down without mercy.

the starting block where you give your everything.
the freedom that ensues with every stroke.
the feel of the soft ripples against the skin.
the flush of heat on the cheeks.
the trophies at the end of it all.

i miss that feeling.

an oasis of calm.

*we both extended the olive branch. so i'm feeling a bit better.*
