Coming to the end

The big event came and went. Would have been better if the emcee's more prepared + etc etc. Nonetheless, it's over... and we'd be buying the team a nice dinner to thank them all for their hard work these 3mths. Peranakan.. or Arabic.. or Mediterranean perhaps. Halal is the word.

One more week of formal lessons and that's it for Yr 2007. Next comes the onslaught of meetings of all sizes and shapes. "Where are you planning to go this Dec hols?" they ask. Dunno dunno dunno... Can't believe it's been a yr since New York getaway. It's so fast, it's gross. No big trips to exotic faraway lands this time (I'd save that for next yr perhaps). Maybe some roughing it out in developing SEA countries... we'd see.

Made an after-dinner visit to Corduroy Cafe @ Vivo yesterday. Said to be a 'french style patisserie that whips up sinful desserts, delicious hot chocolates and stellar coffees'. The desserts were indeed yummy - I had a zangy lemon tart-in-a-cup. But the milk infusion drinks were a real let down... dilute and not quite worthy of mention. Some mojito milk infusion even tasted like colgate mixed with marigold milk. =P The ambience was nice though, elegant and contemplative, with clocks of various countries hanging on one side of the wall and a wide display of magazines (including National Geographic) and international newspapers (USA Times, The International Herald etc) for browsing. Can check it out, but skip the milk drinks.
