Still at a super-duper-battery-low. This current millisecond, I'd exchange my all for a magic broomstick that'd take me to Hong Kong for dim sum, or Thailand for tom yum, or Taiwan for dumplings, or just KL for soggy hokkien mee... anywhere for anything, as long as it's away from rainy-sunny red dot. I'm going bonkus, prancing about in my empty, newly-mopped, pine-scented flat like some desperate goldfish in an irritatingly-spacious aquarium. Sigh. A sign of growing discontent and impatience with myself (&/or my work?). I better ride through this asap. Quick, dial my cerebral stimulant hotline. And better still, get my most unlikely buddy here too - the willowly, ultra soft-spoken, ever-patient, highly-analytical, rational & super peace-loving, married MLL... I can't wait for her to talk some sense into my whimsy goat brain.
=================================================
Yesterday night, after an intensive, marathon 6hr work meeting, me & some of my 'used-to-stick-like-glue, now-dispersed-like-sand' comrades finally had our 1st-in-3-mths dinner gathering. An attempt, no matter how feeble, at recovering our past camaraderie. Went to CRUSTACEAN @ Holland V, and between us 4 famished maidens, we swiped quite a chunk off our credit limit. Our accomplishment yesterday:
Soups: Seafood bisque, Cappucino of wild mushrooms
Appetizers: Seafood combo, Portobello mushrooms
Main courses: Seafood pasta, Grilled black cod fillet, Baked cod fillet, Grilled pork chop
Desserts: Warm chocolate cake, Lychee freeze, Camomile honey
You should check out this place. All our dishes were really yummy, with special mention going to the warm chocolate cake - we had to keep a dinner companion from licking off her plate! Great food, nice ambience (abeit a little tight on space), and with a real hot, solo, sensual guitarist belting out live dinner jazz to boot. Even if our dying buddy-ship was not entirely revived yesterday, this accidental gastronomic outing had been worth it. I just have to live on maggi mee for the next few days.
Happy Sunday. And if you are driving over to JB for a getaway, can you stuff me in your boot?
