a long day
Thursday, January 31, 2008
it has been such a long day. even after i got home, i had to deal with the damned virus etc problem with the hp lappy. though mumsy got the anti-virus program from jacob, the problem still exists. it's as though the virus, spyware, adware and malware are neverending. the program only mananged to get rid of SOME but not ALL of these troublesome problems.
ate at Figs & Olives this afternoon. wanted to go to Kim Gary Hongkong Restaurant at first but it was full and there was a queue! the irony was that it was Figs & Olives that was full the other time when i wanted to eat there. anyway, ate the dory fish with creamy mushroom sauce, tomato pasta with side salad. it's like small portions of the said items, all put onto one plate. drank the almond milk and it tasted like the one sold at the coffeeshop above my grandparents' carpark. took a picture of it but lazy to post. =\ all were good except the salad. admittedly they put olive oil around it or at least the olive oil was at the BOTTOM of the salad, the salad was tasteless and tasted just like grass. the dory fish was DAMN GOOD. yummy! it's totally fresh and had those herbs. so was the creamy mushroom sauce. it had those chunks of mushroom that i totally lurveeee. it' so yummy i can just eat it alone. bad thing; the creamy mushroom sauce overpowers the flavour of the fish. and way too much black pepper but good thing was the it's yummy that i don't suppose anyone who mind except a fisherman. put it on top of any meat and it'd roughly taste the same.
pasta was good. they used olive oil so the pasta had a nice flavourful olive oil taste to it. there's something else too. something i can't put my finger onto but still, it spells YUM. it ain't like those you get now in sg- all soupy and not nice at all. at the chef had the sense to keep it to a SAUCE not a SOUP. two thumbs up! it's more authentic that way EVEN though this is more meditarranean pasta then italian pasta. stillllllllllll, it's better and more authentic than some that CLAIM to serve italian pasta.
rating will be 7/10. service WAS good once i forgave the beginning when there wasn't anyone around and i stood around looking like an idiot wanting to come in. after that, it was OOH-LA-LA. this waiter was so good he gave me ice water without me asking and even before i asked. he also topped up my water frequently making sure that i had enough water though i had the almond milk. service: 8.5/10. 1.5 deducted for the beginning when no one was around.
for the record, i managed to eat some of what i wanted to eat. it's AZABO SABU Hokkaido Ice-cream. they have it in Plaza Singapura too! hmmm... now i suddenly recall they have many branches. still, i had it yesterday. sea salt and caramel costs more 'cause it's a new flavour and this is like DOTS. wad's the diff lah! anyway, josh was right when he said it tasted like butter ice-cream. LIKE DUHHHH.... caramel is BUTTER AND SUGAR BRO! had that and milk tea. dang.... made me super full after that. why can't they have junior sized scoops too?! walked around PS before collecting the MISSHA 100dollars hamper from GV.
after collecting the hamper and walking around... decided to walk back to basement 2. wanted to try the french soups but there wasn't any seats for that store so i gave up. went to the bratwurst shop for mushroom and cheese bratwurst with its bun. sauce was meagre, cheese unmelted and it was like... overpriced. didn't like the crusty bun, didn't fit in with the taste but i guess... everyone likes different textures. its only saving grace was that..... it had seats and the bratwurst was good. but overall was not good........
bengawan solo's durian egg roll wrap was awesome. bought 2 of those and yeah... quite broke now. no pocket money and i'm eating into my angpao money. =(( more than used up uncle bert's early angpao. and YEAY! going for lunch with my grandparents tml. hopefull i can convince them to eat at He She Hui.... durian mochi, gao li mao shan wang and my CUSTARD BUNS!!! woops. looks like i'm hanging out in vivo everyday. ;p can't help it. it's like ON-the-WAY. =) the custard buns are AMAZING. it's got salted egg in the custard and the custard ain't the gooey lump you'll find but this gold liquid that looks like butter. unique and absolutely delicious. took a few bites to get used to the flavour at first but after a while, you'd be hooked. bait, line, sinker. =D
anyway, i was reading Three Weeks in Paris by Barbara Taylor and there was this saying, "men can stand tough women but they can't stand hard women." i think it's true. men can appreciate and even admire women who are tough. but hard women? bitter, harsh and emotionless, i doubt so. i wonder which of them i belong to. and i think i've lost my ability to talk and communicate real well with ppl. HELP!
i seem to think a lot when i'm alone. good thing is i get a lot of ideas. bad thing- i don't put ideas into actions and a lot of the negative past just comes back to me. so wish me luck tml!

Prelude
Annsley's words.
She tried to fall in love but failed.
She learned everything the hard way.
To be on top, you must sacrifice.
She's alone.
Putting distance between people and herself.
She's losing everyone.
Hell of a complicated girl.
