Yummy Cow Meat

Dinner last nite was at morton's @ the oriental w my fellow expensive-food foodie, rachel.
but becoz reservation was at 7.30pm and we were there at 6.30pm,

we popped into the bar for $10 martinis...
it was pretty crowded... we had to stand at the bar.
of coz we started w lychee martinis...
halfway thru, the steak sandwiches came!!
and i'm sure everyone knows abt these yummilicious steak sandwiches.

shortly after, we progressed from standing at the end of the bar to seats in the middle of the bar.
and i was craving for more yummy steak sandwiches.
and juz when i tot dat there's no more steak sandwiches,
2 more big trays came in!!
one more round of sandwiches.
and by now, it's round 2 of martinis, chocolate martini for me...

i was constantly reminded not to go for steak sandwich round3 coz got steak dinner later.
so had to resist.

so 7.30 came and we went in for dinner.
we sat there, expecting someone to give us menus but were told dat our server will pop over for a presentation of the meat cuts and stuff.

so we waited. while waiting, an egg-and-onion bread was served.
and dat was juz so good as well... but i went easy on the bread...
i want my cow.

so the server came and did her presentation of all the meat cuts and the other entrees.
and the presentation includes "larry", a live lobster, juz to show dat lobster's on the menu.

hehe...
i wanted to try the porterhouse steak but was feeling not so v hungry after the martinis,
steak sandwiches and bread, so we both had the double cut filet mignon, medium rare.
*slurp*

but before our steaks, we had maine lobster cocktail for appetisers.
lobster tasted great, fresh and served in a dish on ice. comes w a mustard mayo dip.
there are actually 2 dips but i cant rem wat was the other, coz i din really like it.

after appetiser, it was time for the main event...
when i cut my steak, it was appetite wetting bloody meat with seared sides.
i wasted no time in putting the first piece in... and it was heavenly...
the meat juz melts in my mouth. so tender and there was no need to cut the steak as if u were sawing a piece of wood or metal.

side dishes are separate from the steaks. so we had creamed spinach.
i din touch the spinach much coz i was so occupied w my steak, and i could hardly touch it when i was done.
but the little bit i had was good too.

we had ordered their hot chocolate cake, which is a choc cake w a melted choc centre.
but bcoz we were so full, we had to cancel our dessert... :(
gona go back there again someday.
i will and i must.

and the damage to our wallets was $280.
for 2 steaks, one appetiser, one side dish and one pellagrino.
this is not counting the 4 martinis we had b4 dinner.

so massive damage... but well worth the price.

oh btw, i doggy bagged the bread. it was too good to leave it on the table.
so i brought home the bread, rachel brought home the spinach.

and so my afternoon snack today was the bread. nice and yummy.
u can smell the fragrant scent of the onion. it's not the over-powering onion smell...
and the loaf is all yellow from the egg.
i din know until i brought it home. coz the lighting in the restaurant was mainly yellow light.
so couldn't tell...

but yea... morton's is a place everyone shd go at least once in their lifetimes...

time for bed now... gota work tom.
how ironic, when i was bumming at home, i was hoping for work.
now dat there's work, i wish i can bum at home.

i am hard to please.

nitezzz *Zzzzz*

oh... fotos will b up when i get them from rachel.
they will definitely be up... only question is when.

nitezzz *Zzzzz*

It's Over

This post is a little overdue and late...
but anyhoo...

it's finally over... a great fantastic journey for both the performers and the audience,
live or otherwise. and for those who duno, paul potts won the contest, bagging for himself 100,000 pounds and
a performance at this year's Royal Variety Performance.
i cant wait for Britain's Got Talent 2008.

it's been a wonderful week hunting down the daily episodes and watching the amazing performances.
and it all began w 4 clips -
one of connie talbot with her song, the kit kat girls w their song and dance, dominic smith and his beautiful vocals
and lastly, paul potts and his amazing opera singing.

and now the show is over... the winner announced...
it's time to move on to something else...

Mind Your Language !!

i duno how many of u know or remember this british comedy originally produced in the 70s.
but i remember watching re-runs of the show on tv when i was in poly (i think)
it's an absolutely brilliant show.

it was running ard the same time 'allo allo' and 'black adder' were showing on tv...
both of which are great shows to watch as well...
tho black adder's humour can get a little dry, but funny nonetheless
coz there's funnyman rowan atkinson fronting the comedy.

on other happenings...
1) my shower heater died last fri... so been stuck w frigging cold water for the last few days...
but dat's now a thing of the past!! coz the contractors came down today to install the new heater.
so hooray for hot showers once more.

2) sunday marked the start of my 4-week RT.
so my sunday afternoons and thursday evenings are burnt...
and after my bali trip, it's 'upgraded' to tue, thur evenings and sunday afternoons dat are gona get burnt. cant wait till it's all over...
den i can not bother myself w rt or ippt until after my birthday.

3) this is my 100th post... a small, mayb even insignificant milestone compared to quite a
number of ppl... but not bad in my eyes...
because i never really expected myself to start blogging so yea...

and as porky pig will say,
a-bi-did, a-bi-did, dat's all folks!!

p.s. hope the phonetics are correct. how the hell do u put the front bit in words?!

Ali G

Wicked!!

From connie's tear-jerking rendition of 'somewhere over the rainbow',
we move on to something more familiar...
ok... more familiar to those who listened to music in the early 90s.

downloading britain's got talent episode 5.
and somehow becoz of stefette's question, i ended up googling 'pj and duncan'.
and found this...



for the un-initiated, pj & duncan were ant & dec's previous group name when they juz started out their music career.
download ends in 4hrs.

a little more abt the show... britain's got talent is a show to find an act for the royal variety performance.
winner not only gets to perform in front of the royal family, he also gets to take home 100,000 pounds.
having watched 4 episodes, i can safely say dat i think this show's better than american idol.
u can feel the emotions of the contestants and the audience.
and the antics of the hosts are simply funny as well... wicked!!

hope i can watch it b4 i have to leave for stefette's bday dindin...

happy bird-day girl!!
old liao hor?

keke...

I Never Knew

Who would have thought dat a 6 year old girl's singing could bring tears to my eyes.

saw this clip on mrbrown.com.
and juz had to repost this clip and share it w the ppl ard me.
i'm bloody sure mrbrown will have a wider reach.
i dun even know who drops by now... besides tweebo, stefette and ms snooze.
but wad the heck...

i'll be hunting more episodes of the show.
enjoy and b overwhelmed.

Making Music

Bought a new toy today...



and it's rather addictive i must say.
spent like abt 5 hrs playing at guerrilla games.

and now it's back at home, ready to make music...
for someone who cant play the guitar, this is as close as i can get...
hahaha...

so if anyone out there has another guitar controller, let me know,
so we can play co-op and unlock other guitars as well... :)

i know i'll b spending lots of time in front of the tv now.
now this is MORE addictive than World Of Warcraft(WOW).
having tried WOW, i still cant fathom how ppl can get addicted...
guess mayb i'm too used to playing offline single player,
so i'm not really dependent on others to heal me.
not to mention dat i prefer a mix of range and melee weapons as well.
so yea...

and this game is one of those gf/wife/non-gaming ppl-friendly games.
it's easy to pick up and it's really enjoyable.
be amazed at ur fren's skills or laugh your head off watching frens struggle to catch up w the songs.

on another note, looks like i'll b headed up to thailand again for the weekend to work.
i've no complains, i get allowances and get to clock offdays. i juz hope i'll b flying up on fri or sat and return on mon.
dat'll b good. but it's out of my hands.

alritey... i'm off to play now... i am Guitar Hero! Star Power!
heh heh...
see ya later, alligator.

Longest Run Ever

Today marks a certain accomplishment for me...

ran a massive 4km.
tho it was at a slower pace compared to the usual 2.4km pace, it's still quite a feat.
and it feels quite good to b exercising...

juz hope i wun b aching when i wake up tom...

i duno y but i was thinking of having a bday bash next year...
celebrate my entering a new age group... haha.

but only sketchy idea... i know to many it's prob an old thing...
but i think i wana do a sec sch uniform celebration thingy...
haha... think it'll b a blast seeing everyone in their 20s all wearing their sec sch uniforms.

but dat's an idea i'm toying w. damien gave me the alternative idea of making everyone
where someone else's uniform. ie, SJI boy wear Cat High uniform, etc.
we'll see how... haha...

have been in thailand for the past month working onboard...
think things are pretty much settled career-wise...
but i think i might b changing sometime next year...
comtemplating getting a job dat keeps me in sg...

my dad is getting old and i dun think i wana b away most of the time.
wana spend time at home w him as well...
so will prob start looking for another job come next year.
but we'll see...

many things seemed to have happened in the last couple months when i came back from the philippines till now when i'm back from thailand...
and i duno how to react to some of the events as well...
oh well...

i had begun this entry wanting to juz write abt my amazing 4km run...
and have no idea how it lead to the 2nd half but who cares...
haha...

guess i'll stop here...
getting more and more lazy to blog.
i duno y...

ok den... dat's all for now...
buhbyeeee !!
