Its time for an update. What have I been up to? Nothing much actually, apart from working which has been pretty smooth since the other day, but I guess there really are good days and bad days. On a good day when my mood is good, nothing can faze me, even scolding from the boss. On a bad day however, it is a totally different story. I treated dad and aunt aubrey to Fosters on saturday, and I finally got to try their food properly. I loved their mushroom and asparagus fettucine, done aglio olio style, though it was a tad oily, very oily actually. The bill came up to quite a bit, but it was a sort of a thank you for him for footing almost all the bills in Bangkok. But I thought it was kind of awkward eating there, what with my manager serving me and all, not something I want to do again soon. And after that, we had dessert at NYDC, my cravings for mudpie satisfied at last.

Today, I had quite a nice day. Work was super slack, with very little customers. I had tea with Soon and Chai at Holland v foodcentre after work, the two chefs who are the nicest to me(always offering me food), without whom working at fosters would be so totally different, truly. And they always call me 'mei-nu',which is quite ego-boosting, but of course I take it with a pinch of salt.

After that, I met stephen, and we abandoned our plans to watch lake house in favour of going to little india for dinner. We stopped by Beancurd city on the way and had a bowl of piping hot beancurd which is better than that of its next door counterpart, and was super silky and light. We walked to Komala Villas for thosai after that,it was quite a long walk and I had no idea of its true location, but found it without much effort. The whole dining experience was just so interesting, like being in a foreign part of singapore and their thosai is really good, authentic Indian cuisine. We rounded our meal with a lychee mochi from 7-11, to sooth our burning mouth, and sat by the road side, watching cars whiz pass and watching people walk past. What an interesting date..

ps: pictures were taken courtesy of Nokia n70, my temporary phone until I get my much dreamed of nokia 7370(or better). I know, i know, its a great phone, but with too many features and it is really too big and manly for my liking. Maybe I will grow to like it in time, maybe....
