Went to The Canteen by Les Amis last night. For those who dont know, Les Amis is one of the top restaurants in Singapore. At least according to some food guide. LOL The Canteen is the Ghetto version of the latter. LOL
It was rather quiet when i first sat in there around 7.30pm but it started to fill up soon after my arrival. Talk about star power. LOL Anyways, selection of food is not wide but i think the owners are trying to it the affair simple and clean. Hon had Proscuitto and melon salad and fried chicken. Very fancy fried chicken considered its $16. I had The Canteen salad and Pasta Cantina with scallops, prawns, squids flavoured with the fabulous crab oil. Overall, i like the ambience and the food. It was simple and a good place for drinks and chat. Besides the place has good service. The staff seems happy to serve with a smile. Would recommend it to all who wants to pamper themselves besides spas, shopping etc.

Mom is away in Thailand! I am looking forward to all the gifts she promised me...LOL I guess she is a semi-avid traveller. Except for the fact she likes to go on TOURS. I freakin hate that! I prefer to go and explore on my own but she thinks it is dangerous. Life is all but a dangerous route. LOL Thats mom talk. Anyway, when i was a little girl since i am not so "little" now, she would bring me on travel with her. I love to travel. The sense of unknown always linger in the air. Hmmmm With her business contacts, she always get free trips. ARGH!!! Lucky her. Italy, Japan etc..I want to tag along too. On several occasions, i begged unshamelessly to be packed with the luggage. Thank god she forced me to go to California with her once. Otherwise, i wouldnt have visited my cousins in San Diego or gamble in the Vegas and got caught because i was underaged! LOL Oh Boy that was hilarious!
So now i am..alone at home, typing aimlessly with this crap machine. Sigh. I hate being alone. I wont mind if i have my own apartment and i can just lay around the house all day but i am living with my parents so DAMN. And Aunt Florence is leaving for Shanghai for a month to visit uncle Ben. Sigh. I might join her in Dec. I like to travel with Aunt Florence. Sometimes. LOL Remembered we went to Hong Kong twice and the second time we went there, we were like explorers. Looking for the clubbing district, the central district etc. We are a weird combo because she is so tiny and i am so HUGE. LOL People mistake me for her sister! LOL I hope she will feel better when she comes back from Shanghai.
Happy Birthday Mom! You are an incredible woman and thank you for being my lightpost. I love you forever.

Deadlines. I hate the word deadline and putting an expiry date on anything. A couple of days ago or maybe a few months ago, i am starting to have the anxiety that the end is looming near. I am afraid. Im scared of things coming to an end. I hate to fear. Why am i scared? Why should i fear anything? I wonder if its my mind or my heart thats playing this cruel trick on me. Or is it a sign that something is going to happen? I want to keep everything going the way it is. I wish i could do something to make the fear go away. What is it thats intended for me to do?

:::Listening to Santana's Supernatural Album:::
I felt pampered on Saturday. It was one of those picture-perfect nights. Well maybe everything except the weather. Could use a little breeze. Hon and I went to Robertson Quay. I came up with the idea since we have only been there once to dine at La Stella last night year's eve. We didnt have a clue what we wanted actually. Just thought we bumped around to see whats going on at the place. Hon saw a Yakiniku place that he DESPERATELY wanted to try! LOL We had Yakiniku twice but it was always indoors. This restaurant has outdoor "pots" and man it was smok-key!!! LOL No more seats for two while we were there. That place has a regular stream of customers because it was full-house all the way! The both of us bumped around more until we went to a Spanish Restaurant and Wine bar. The interior looked so elegant and relaxing and i was wearing shorts! LOL I dont give a shit about dress codes!!! LOL Remember...cat piss. Anyways we went Al-fresco. It was wonderful. We were sitting facing the water and the passer-bys were so green-faced! LOL Green with Envy while i was sipping my Sangria away. LOL Hon had some german beer i think. He had a baby octupus salad and he picked the Valentiana Salad for me. I was amazed at how well he knows what i want...for food at least...LOL So i asked him," How did you know i wanted this salad?". He said it has everything i like in a salad. OMG...have we both become food-obssessed? I WAS IMPRESSED AND I STILL AM. The service was good. Oh yeah i forgot. The name of the place is Andorra. Apparently, it was run by a Spanish Family. I had chicken with sweet paprika and Hon had Wild duck with peaches. Both dishes were carefully prepared with skilful hands and knowledge. Food was served warm. Hence you know that they dont slack in their service and each course was served with appropriate intervals.
Throughout the night, i was admiring the apartments by the water. If only i could buy one of those. Man, i will not step out of my house again.
Well anyways, we went to the Beach Bar later. Sat at the beach chairs. Very cool. Had some oysters and a strawberry magarita! Delicious!!! Had shooters too! That night was one of the nights that suddenly hit me that Hon couldnt keep his mouth shut. He kept talking! LOL Not that i mind. I like him to talk and tell me stuff. It was perfect. Couldnt be anymore better.
What i like about Robertson Quay is the nice environment and not the booming noises in other areas. Places that people could actually walk and enjoy a nice night out and pretend that they have a million dollars becasue eveyrthing is wondeful. LOL Thats how i felt last night. PERFECT.
The christmas decorations are up again and it tells me that the time of the year is close again. Time just fly by way too fast. Hon and i are 2 years old next week! uoy evol i noH.

I had a real shitty day today. In a world that is exploding because it is over-populated, i feel so alone. I know i keep saying this but its how i feel. I cant remember the day when my cheerful and optimistic self died but i do remember that no one went to the funeral. I died lonely. After that day, its just the other side of me with the devil. I sit here thinking, "What happened to me" but i cant find the answer. Maybe it was one of my computers, Baby, that finally broke down and ended our relationship. I thought it was a great relationship. Me, him, The Sims, gaming all the way till wee hours. I miss the games on the computer.
But i still dont know whats wrong with me. I do know that i feel completely worthless. Its so strange that people who tell you otherwise are the ones who treat you like crap. They dont understand. And i thought technology is a great thing. But what happened to phone calls and mails in the letter box? I have friends who dont call me but send me msgs. They know i called them but replied with a msg. We have to chat thru sms now. What happened to calling? What happened to the simple thing of calling and asking, "Hey how are you?" Are we losing touch with the real stuff or am i losing it?
