Only 4 Words...
I is lazy blogger...
ok... it's gona be more than 4 words.
it's been like more than a month since i've blogged...
and it's only becoz i've been kinda bleddy lazy to do it.
and now for some general updates...
for one, i'll b in sg until the end of the year due to the fact i've got reservist in nov and am on leave in dec.
so i'm more or less free to do lunch/dinner/tea/supper/ktv/movies/clubing/pubbing w anyone.
so call me yea?
and i'll b taking up tap dancing come 14 nov for 8 weeks @ jitterbugs singapore.
anyone interested to join me? or if u know of frens who wana learn, intro to me!!
it's always nice to go w a fren i guess...
but somehow i always v much differing interests than most of my frens.
uberburger is having a one-for-one deal for all burgers except for their signature $101 foie gras burger.
not sure when it ends... so juz go now... hahaha.
went there sometime last week i think... wanted to order it but it was sold out,
courtesy of the family who arrived before me...
oh wells... means i must go there again...
on a different note...
many things have been going ard in church since i got back...
was kinda surprised when i heard it...
now ppl are somewhat fearful or apprehensive abt wat's gona happen.
and it's not juz the folks at vc.
think some of the ppl in the young adult group (dei gloriam) are unsure wat to expect
when the peeps at vc join them...
think some of them feel the same way as i do in terms of catering to the spiritual needs of the younger ppl who are still schooling.
but guess coz everything's been told in a "this is an order" kind of way, everyone's juz doing wat they've been told.
i used to treasure wat i have in church v much, mainly coz of the close bonds and working relationships i have w the priests and adults ard.
and how we are given the freedom to reach out to the youths in our own pace, with each ministry excelling in wat they do...
and now dat we'vebeen given the order dat we'll cease to exist after 4 nov, there's nothing much to look fwd to now...
guess the new job and my constant shipping out of sg somehow made me less attached to the group and wat's going on.
but there's a feeling of assurance when i know dat my frens and the group i am a part of are there when i'm back...
somehow i am juz worried for the church i have spent my entire life in...
worried and unsure of its future in 5-7 years time when the parish priest changes.
it's somewhat discerning when u feel dat ur church is being run somewhat like a corporation.
but i guess somehow god will be there to make all things right..
and looking at things on the positive side, this could very well b the trial dat we are put thru to make us better christians.
to help us learn obedience and patience.
obedience to listen to someone who has the authority over us no matter how senseless or illogical the order/ instruction is.
patience to love and accept the ppl who have entered our lives and have somehow turned our lives into one dat's difficult to live in.
guess there's nothing much to do except to trust in god and trust that he'll be there to hold our hand thru this journey of faith challenge
dearest god,
i thank you for the 3 years you have given us Vultus Crucis.
for the times when we struggled to reach out to the ppl in church,
for the times when we shared our talents w the church,
for the times when we shared our lives in the church,
for the times when we shared our lives w one another.
help us as we embark on a new challenge,
to seek u in times of uncertainty,
to seek u in times of frustration,
to seek u in times of fear,
but when all is calm and settled,
and the dark clouds clear for the bright sun to shine,
may we remember to continue to seek you in good times, not juz in bad.
to give u thanks for the lessons we may learn in our trials of life.
dearest mother,
pray for us, your children.
amen.

Grazing @ Graze
Let's juz say i had one of the best dinners in my life...
dinner was at graze at 4 rochester park.
if u duno where dat is, it's near bouna vista mrt... near acjc...
if u still duno where, look it up in the steet directory...
so dinner it was @ graze w a long time fren and now foodie kaki, rachel.
wat i love abt the place is the ambience and the ulu-ness of the place...
so u feel so isolated from the fast paced life we lead daily...
the lush green surroundings juz seems to teleport u to another dimension...
the slower paced life... w the waters flowing... and the trees rustling in the wind...
wat's there not to love...
dining is split into the air-conditioned indoors and the close-to-nature outdoors.
i had initially made a reservation for indoor dining...but upon reaching the place,
and seeing how wonderfully beautiful the outdoor dining area was, i had to request for a change of seats...
graze is such a wonderful place for u to chill out w frens over a slow dinner and drinks... and after-dinner drinks...
(L) the little waterfall, flowy water feature my table was right next to...
(R) the building right at the end where the rattan chairs are, that is where the bbq chefs are hard at work...
the main building... indoor dining downstairs... and their lounge, mint, on the upper floor.
and so i shall proceed w the menu for the evening...
we started w oyster shooters...
the 2 on the left are oyster shooters w vodka sorbet while the 2 on the right are wat i think are the house specials... ginger wine oyster shooters w wasabi and cucumber oil.
personally i prefer the ginger wine shooters, rachel prefers the vodka sorbet ones...
so try both and judge for urself...
next up was our entree... steamed lobster tortellini w some roe...
cant remember wat roe it was...
note: this is not the actual dish... started eating it once it was served so forgot to take a foto until i've taken a bite in it...
felt dat this dish is the most disappointing of the entire dinner...
couldn't really taste much of the lobster... and it looked somewhat like squid when i opened up the tortellini... hehe.
this opinion is shared by the both of us...
shortly after we wiped out the tortellinis, our main course was served...
once again... we ate up the sausage before i remembered to grab another foto moment...
this is the bbq house meat platter for 2. the house platters come in 3 types-
meat, fish and asian seafood.
there are 2 seasonings for u to choose from for the bbq-
traditional pepper, salt and olive oil or their inhouse seasoning, the graze brushed lacquer.
we opted for the pepper, salt and olive oil seasoning.
all platters come w corn on the cob, fries and salad. yum...
the meat platter consists of a sirlion, a pork chop, a piece of chicken (one drumstick and one wing), a sausage and a lamb chop.
and we requested for the shiraz reduction as a sauce for our meats.
the meats were all very well done... tender and juicy... and dipping the meats into the shiraz sauce made everything even more wonderful...
and dat includes the fries as well... salad is dressed in balsamic vinegar and olive oil...
extra note: the chicken was v well done, skin was nice and crispy, and the flesh was tender as well... kudos to the chef.
and this is coming from a person whose meat ranking is as such:
lamb, beef, pork, chicken.
had our main course w a glass of shiraz to accompany the burst of flavours...
dinner cant get any better...
got no wine to show... only empty glasses at the end of dinner... :)
but it did !! coz dessert was next... hehe...
and so the dessert tasting platter was served...
i've no idea wat's wat.. coz it wasn't stated in the menu...
but all i can say is... they're all great...
haha...
there was a cheesecake, an apple crumble thingy, wat i think is mango sorbet, vanilla ice cream to cleanse the taste in the mouth i guess.
a champagne jelly thingy, a choc soffle and a i duno wat flavour soffle and another scoop of i duno wat flavour ice cream...
i juz eat only... good, i eat some more... not good, i leave it on the plate... actually think i'll eat it up still... cannot waste food.
after dinner and all, we adjorned to mint, the lounge upstairs, for another round of drinks...
this time it's juz simple drinks, nothing too potent...
a simple bellini and a blueberry mojito.
bellini on left, blueberry mojito on right.
and after the drinks it was time to close the tab and head for home...
at first we thought dat we were gona finish dinner rather quickly...
but we reached there abt 6.45pm and left the place at like 10.15pm.
time juz flew like dat.. u dun feel like u've been sitting at the restaurant for too long or something like dat...
and of coz the damage to the pocket was $125 a piece... but in my opinion...
money well spent... coz the service was good too. the staff were v attentive...
and they've got little stools for the ladies (or gentlemen) to place their bags and stuff instead of putting them on the floor.
so head on down to graze at 4 rochester park when payday is near... and dun forget to make ur reservations.
graze is closed on mondays too btw... so dun be so silly like me and call them on monday nite to make a reservation
and wondering why the hell are they not picking up the fone... hehe... silly me.
now i wana check our their breakfast/ brunch menu which are only available on weekends.
anyone wana take up my offer?

Feelings Cheated
Waaaah!!
i feel so cheated...
bought david tao's 太美丽 album at sembawang music last week for like $16 i think...
and the unthinkable happened...
i saw the same album being sold at ts video @ ps for only $8.90!!!
so horrifying rite?
but i also saw this 五月天 album selling for only like $9.90...
so i bought it...
but still feel so cheated...
and if dat wasn't enough... went for dinner at dining @ sakae at the atrium next to ps.
was expecting the food quality to be slightly better than wat u'll find at the regular sakae restaurants.
but no... the food was juz as ordinary... luckily jarrod has like some voucher promo w his hsbc card...
but den have to go back to the restaurant to eat again... so duno la...
went to watch singapore dreaming before dinner...
this is like a recap of the day in reverse order... hahaha...
but anyway... went to watch singapore dreaming by colin goh and his wife, woo yen-yen...
i enjoyed it very much... it's a pretty heart warming movie abt this family and their struggles to move up the social ladder...
break out of the hdb shell and move up into the condo level...
and the family relations when they unexpectedly win the toto group 1 prize of 2 million dollars.
so go catch this locally produced film which u can also get to catch lim yu beng speaking mandarin...
quite funny... so dun miss this show... it's a must-watch.. at least in my opinion...
