Looked forward to end of workday yesterday. Got to Keyaki Bar on time to consume a Lychee Saketini and one other Saketini, forgot its name already. So techinically speaking I had 2 free servings of tapas. I did not manage to finish 2nd one. Way tooo full....... Noticed that next table ordered some yummy looking Sashimi and this really really huge bottle of Sake?
Suppose to wake up this morning to jog as I have been procrastinating for 3 days already. Never made it as I was feeling really tired. Shall make an attempt to jog after work this evening......

MoNdAy BLuEs~~~
Sometimes I ask myself what leads to Monday Blues? Basically its just the dread of going to work again at the very start of the week! And if you had an uneventful weekend, that basically adds up.
Saturday was pretty ok. Had a fusion lunch at East Coast Road, Cafe Oliv. Basically an undiscovered cafe. We were the only customers at the start of lunch at 12.30pm. Imagine lunch time and only us? Anyway we ordered the following and shared their Soup of the day , Mushroom soup... Just the right touch of creaminess and tasty. Softshell shell crab was all right only, nothing spectecular, I guess i am really over that soft shell crab phase, these days they do not give me that wow or oomph factor anymore? Ceaser Salad with chicken was good, just the right amount of dressing so you don't feel too gelat after that.The creamy seafood linguine pasta was ok, pasta done al dente but did not really like that mussel, had a strong taste to it, rest of the seafood was pretty fresh. Pretty dissapointed that they did not have any brownie with ice cream dessert! Had the creme brulee, but that did not satisfy my brownie craving so to top it off, ordered a macadamia nut latte which to my surprise was pretty good!
After lunch, went to parkway to get a bottle of wine for Alex's birthday. Met them at one of the boat quay pub for a couple of drinks before all of us headed for Lunar at Clarke Quay. 9 of us and 2 bottles later, haha you go figure the consequences. Birthday boy Alex was definitely down, with the help of a Waterfall if thats what its called. I reached home and KO till about lunch time. Did not have much appetite after all that excessive drinks. Just wanted water, water and more water for my poor dehydrated body. Went to watch the Incredible hulk in the afternoon. I found it to be pretty good movie. One thing that touched me was that the hulk had incredibly Sad Eyes. Made my eyes water, strange.....
After that headed to Prima for Father's Day Dinner. Other than the view, food was medicore. I wouldn't recommend returning. The set dinner for 4 cost 268+++.... Let me briefly describe the dishes, the Shark's fin was not much of a shark's fine. Less than 10 strands!!!! Broccoli with 5 small slices of abalone? hmmm..... Steam Soon Hock fish was very fresh, tender, melts in your mouth type no complains about this. Big Dissapointment was the Peking Duck. The original wrapping they recommended, skin was super thick. Duck skin not crispy enough, and full of fats! GROSS!!! I had one piece and that was it for me! Did not touch the duck meat as quite lost my appetitie already. Toffee banana dessert very sweet, it is banana coated with caramel like sugar, soaked in ice water to be eaten immediate. Very full but not Satisfying dinner.

Thank God Its Friday~
I've been meaning to start a blog, but just too lazy. I guess i am one of those procrastinators la..... Woke up at 6.30am today, went for my "much anticipated" morning jog. You know something, exercise is such a chore, especially when you lack sleep. But I am one of those people who did not get bestowed with that amazing high metabolism, sad huh? So If I stopped exercising, just give me 3months and for sure I am not going to fit into those jeans anymore. Had breakfast at the market AGAIN, shared a Mee Siam and Chee Cheong Fun/Yam Cake with Mum. The Mee Siam I had can never match Aunty Karen's Mee Siam *drools* just thinking of it.
I really need a holiday again but I am so broke, I cannot even afford a nearby destination. I know I am suppose to save for a rainy day but.... how to save when everything go up except the Pay Check ah? I imagine when I retire, I will have no money to take from my CPF as all will be tied up in the flat, so I will have to hmmmm work as some cleaner??? aiyaaaaa hope nottttt must buy some ToTo try luck.
