3's a crowd

3 good things that happened this weekend which has made a tough week seem less unbearable.

1) Finally made my way to CYC. the Custom shop to use the privilege that Aunt Jay gave to me. Free custom shirt with a pair of complimentary cufflinks to go! Even added my own initials to it!

Didn't know that there were so many things to get a custom shirt done. Like the type of collar (5 types!), cuff type, tapered back / sides, even the buttons and button labels as well~ Will take a pic of the shirt when it's ready in 2 weeks time!

2) After CYC, GY and I went to Robertson Quay for Ichibantei for some good ramen. Ichibantei's my number 2, rivalling all but Miharu at Gallery Hotel. Supposed to bring Trina on a ramen tour in Singapore starting from my number 10 and GY has kinda tried all my top 5 ramen joints already. Haha! Will have a exclusive post of all top 10 joints (in my humble opinion) with pictures soon!

3) Finally bought a PS3 and Street Fighter 4 for myself ! Woo-Hoo! Thanks to Law for accompanying me on his off day to get it from AMK Hub. Which reminds me that I could count about 20+ plus at ATMs yesterday. Must be the GST Offset package...It's a real monster if you ask me, in terms of weight and performance.... Have been busy playing SF4 since ytd evening till just now and managed to unlock quite a few characters, including my favourite Akuma! *Satsui No Hado!*

Meeting Trina for dinner at Melt - The World Cafe next week and looking forward to it! See you! =)

=)

Super wonderful evening!

Had dinner with Trina last evening at Pete's Place at Hyatt Regency. The last time I went there was with my aunt and uncle and Ivan many many years ago, it has pretty changed much by now but the cosy feeling is still there~

Dinner was great. Loved the sundried tomato butter with the complimentary bread ala Cafe Cartel. Had 2 soups and 2 pastas. My lasagna was great but Trina's gnocchi was a tad too cheesy for my liking. Fortunately the soups saved the day. Her carrot soup was creamy enough but not too overwhleming and my potato and leek soup contained chockfuls of the potato which made it a treat to have. =)

Went over to Paragon to check out Cova, a cafe recommended by my Japanese sensei but it was closed by the time we reached there. Settled for Coffee Bean in the end, with my Iced Latte and her Sunrise~ =)

Headed back to Lido and caught the midnight show, Slumdog Millionaire. Thought our row was fully occupied when we bought the tickets but turned out that it was almost empty throughout the whole show. The movie's definitely worth the weekend ticket price. It touches on how the protangonist was transformed from a slumdog (leaving in slums, working as a tea-boy) to a millionaire. You can try to guess how he became rich by looking closely at the poster above. (Reminds you of a television game show?) =)

Happy Valentine's Day, Trina~

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you! =)

Chain-girl-ling

Caught Changeling with Trina at GV Plaza the other day. It was funny when I collected my tickets from the counter when the staff said to me "2 tickets, 1150pm, Chain-girl-ling". I had to restrain myself from laughing out loud but it's true that nowadays movie titles get confusing and we might even pronounce the movie titles incorrectly ourselves!

It's a pretty good show with 2 thumbs up for me! And a long one as well, about 2 1/2 hours! Directed by Clint Eastwood and compelling storyline that keeps the audience on the edge of the seats. Makes you empathise with Angelina's character as well.

Do catch it soon as the movie's run is going to end soon based on the number of cinemas showing it and the odd movie times!

Went for supper at Crown Plaza 's Swensen's for Apple Crumble and Fries! Ended up going back late by cab but it was all worth it! ;)
