Royal Copenhagen

Went to Bras Basah Complex today to checkout my options of Drum Sets.
( thinking of getting one since i can play it lol )
Found quite alot but still having some problems makin up my mind.

Acoustic Set
- $400 - $1800+++
- Needs tuning and maintenance
- Bulky
- Cannot control Volume

Electric Set
- $250 - $1650+++
- No tuning needed
- Limited controls ( not much u can play around with the Hi-hat etc )
- Volume Control
- Can hook up to laptop

Well still considering so hey if there's anyone selling a drum set out there please email me okie ?

Anyways after that was church and dinner was at Sushi Tei ( Takashimaya ).
On the way into town I FORGOT TO PUT MY )(*&^%**##^&* CASHCARD INTO THE @^*#@(#&$#*( Reader!
Alamak.
Summon $10.00 ... sigh.

The highest price i ever paid to enter a "restricted zone" lol

Tried out a new place today called the "Royal Copenhagen" - Located at Takashimaya.
They serve pretty good cakes and tea / coffee.
Abit pricey though.


It was a pretty quiet evening. Only thing i didn't really like was the staff's attitude.
Seems as if they 're eager to close shop when there was a good 1 and a half hours left!


We have a few varieties of cake. - Green Tea, Walnut Brownie, Blueberry Cheese Cake



My personal favourite - Blue Berry Cheese Cake XD


and to wash it down a Cafe Latte lol will try their Earl Grey tea
the next time i'm around there =)

Woah its been a tight day today.
Been running around all day meeting people.
My aching muscles from yesterday's NAPFA didn't make things any easier.
My legs were so tired i had to swap between my left and right foot for the accelerator!
Thank goodness i drive an auto car. Else i would have stalled countless times liao haha

Dropped by the Yamaha sale at Clementi today - its basically an empty room with music instrument sprawled all over the floor lol - Didn't manage to get my DTXpress III =(

Dinner was at Prego ( again ) - today's menu was abit different though.
Had Spicy Pasta , Very veggie pizza, ice cream coffee and a tiramisu lol

Oh and on the way out, i saw a nice watch :) brand is "Graham"! lol

Weekend!

Phew what a weekend it has been.
Been working + eating + playing my head off lol
Oh and Arsenal got trashed by Man U too! lol

Anyway, as usual, i'm always eating so here goes.

Saturday - Dinner

Location : Charlie's Corner, Changi
Surprisingly, this place which is tucked away in the north eastern corner of Singapore can be quite crowded. Finding parking was a huge problem but worth the wait.

Things to try here : Fish and Chips , Prawns and Chips , Hot Wings , Chilli Dog
Nothing like chilling over a cold beer with good food, good music, cool sea breeze and occasionally planes flying over head.

Ever since HAR! I think i'm beginning to like the taste of beer lol


Had Asahi - my all time favourite (=


Fish and Chips with Chunky Fries - The interesting thing is that it does not taste "batter-ey" neither does it taste "bread-cumby"

Charlie's a really place nice to chill and get away from the bustling city lol
Had a little too much to drink. Konked out when i got home lol


Sunday - Lunch

Location : Secret Recipe ( Plaza Singapura )
Dear and me had a little problem deciding where to eat, so we ended up trying this place out.
Food's your average cafe food however the staff here's pretty attentive. They tried to clear our dishes even before we were done on 3 occasions!


We had Beef Brisket, Lasagna and coffee. Didn't manage to get more pictures because i was too hungry lol


Phew and last but not least

Sunday - Dinner
Location : Jumbo Seafood Restaurant ( Serangoon Gardens )
The restaurant was overflowing with people and very short of staff. However luckily we still managed to get a table in the member's room. Where it was a whole lot quieter and less packed =)

We didn't have alot though, Golden Nest Prawns , Chilli Crab , Seafood Tofu , Black Pepper Beef , Noodles , Roast Chicken. Yup that's about it.

As usual i was quite busy eating, but managed to snap a few shots lol



Sister going through the menu XD


Whatever was left by the time i managed to get my camera lol

Was very full after dinner ( and am still very full ) haha

In other news, i've been asked to redevelop 3 websites ^^
http://www.vedan.com.sg/ , http://www.santehealth.com.sg/ and http://www.miwi-persona.com/

Its going to be a busy week lol
Oh i also got 2 weeks free membership at California Fitness - courtesy of Citibank.
Anyone here a member there too? XD

well again!

Phew i'm finally well!
No more sick! ^^

Valentine's day for me was spent with my family.
Went for a nice dinner - had an uninvited guest while we were at the coffee shop lol


this little feline was with us throughout the whole of dinner -
waiting for us to throw it some leftovers we of course obliged and gave her some food :)


Will be makin up for v.day once gf's exams are over haha

Well to celebrate my "getting well" dinner was at "The Tea Party" today. Its located at Sixth Avenue. Had a good plate of Aglio Olio , potato wedges , Cranberry Scone and Japanese Cherry Iced Tea. While Mikaela had Mushroom Soup , Bolognese and Butterscotch Latte. =)

Oh and we played scrabble!
its been awhile since i've played this game lol



In any case, now that exams are over, it seems as if i've suddenly lost all purpose to my daily work.

No more rushing projects .
No more rushing tutorials.
No more doing practicals.

I'm basically just a sitting duck waiting to be swished off to National Service.
To a certain extent i guess i'm gonna be missing polytechnic, 3 years really just flew
by so quickly.

Oh well, i guess it'll be work work and work until i get the letter from the gahmen lol

Friday!

I always love Fridays ...
Its the day when i can sit back and relax and take my mind off stuff.

Logistics test went ok - last few qns dunno how to do.
KM - I didn't know KM could be so complex lol Working on reports now lol

Anyway - todays dinner location was the Plaza Market Cafe @ the Swissotel
Ambience - 8/10
Food - 7/10
Desserts - 9/10 ( You gotta try the movenpick icecream and durain pudding! )
Service - 8/10
Cost - $42/person ( inclusive of Gst , Service Charge )

Overall its a pretty alright place. - Free flow of lobster and crabs and prawns and sashimi.
There was a tour group there though. From China ... ( i think ) they were quite "in the way" if you get what i mean ( always hogging the Seafood Bar making me having to wait very long for my turn ) lol kinda spoilt my evening.

But in any case - their Durain pudding is MUST TRY! Its like eating durain without seeds!

Anyway , took a few snap shots..


Mostly asian food here though ..


Oh they've got a free flow of tea / coffee too.
They serve Dilmah tea ( same kind with Equinox )
