Went recce at Mount Faber for the restaurant I have booked for 18 Dec. Cannot wait for that day to arrive. : ) Afterwhich, headed to Vivo City for dinner! Initially, went to queue at Marche but changed our mind and ate at Aji By Hanabi (Japanese Restaurant) instead. We had ala carte buffet. $42 per pax. Incredibly high price for a restaurant buffet, cause one can pay abit more for hotel buffet. Anyhow, we enjoyed the food. The sashimi is superb fresh. The beef steak is two thumbs-up! The tenderness of it is just right for me. Neither too tough nor too raw. Rate it 10/10! The mushroom salad, cod fish, smoked salmon and boiled pumpkin are great too! The boiled pumpkins I placed three servings of it. Yum yum! Actually, I do not like pumpkins, but this japanese pumpkin tastes really different. Sweet.
Carrying our bloated tummy, we dragged our feet to the riverside. Nice environment, though crowded. A well-spent Saturday. Looking forward to next Saturday.
Took a picture I found interesting along the riverside:
A Flower Tree! Nice~

17 Nov 2007 (Saturday) was a feast for me, for us. Dined at Ritz Carlton Hotel, Greenhouse Restaurant for buffet dinner. It was a treat to my buddy. Her special day, her 22nd birthday. The food was not really mouth-watering for me. What I felt most worthwhile is my favourite, raw Salmon, as usual. My taste has not changed. This has been my favourite fish for the past few years. Surprising. Still remembering the first time I tried Salmon, I do not like the taste, the texture. But don't know how or why, I began to like it. : ) Ok, enough of my digression. Anyway, I ate raw salmon, smoked salmon, crab, mussels, mushroom soup, abalone soup, prawns, beef with roasted potatoes, etc. I tried the most disgusting thing I have ever tried. Goose liver. I was adventurous enough that day to have tried that. It stank the moment I put it into my mouth. I almost threw up. Can still remember the taste even now. I stuffed lots of salmon with wasabe into my mouth to kill the pungent taste.
We spent four long hours there from 6.30 onwards. I always favour hotel desserts. Chocolates, cakes and mousse! Yum, all my favourites! We grabbed all the different varieties of chocolates we could see on the trays. I love the green tea flavoured chocolate ball and the cheese cake especially. After desserts, I had my last plate filled with watermelons, honey dews and tomatoes. After sipping our final cup of tea, I called for the bill. It totalled up to $195.10. Supposedly to be $229.50. Thankfully for the UOB platinum card entitled us to a 15% discount.
Initially, I did not know that Carlton Hotel and Ritz Carlton Hotel are different hotels. The former is a four-star, the latter a six-star. Why similar names. Hmm.. Confuse people. Anyway, I was telling my friends, there was not much difference in the food selection between both hotels, but the price difference was so great. Not much regret as I got to experience the ambience of a six-star hotel. : )
Oh ya, there was also a trio musician playing cello, violin and guitar. How nice! My buddy and I were discussing about when we are going to learn to play instruments together. ; ) Not many people appreciate music, I realised. At the end of it, only soft rounds of applaud could be heard from a few diners.

From me to someone:
I pierce your heart again and again and again... As you should have known by now that I do not like to hear this word, "Sorry" from your mouth whenever you did something wrong; as it does not mean anything to me. Similarly, I will not use this short, five-letter word. But I do feel it sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Invading my privacy time and again is a big nono to me. But I did not scream at you for that. I know I had betrayed your trust in me for you to do that. But I just wish to do the things I like. Is this non-commitment to you?
Few months back, I made a terrible mistake. I knew, I know and I have known. But I do not beg for your forgiveness, I do not want to. I do not deserve it. It pains me to see you so unhappy, so hurt, so depressed, so insecured, just cause of me. I want you to forget me, forget everything. Will you? If not, I will invent a medicine to make you forget everything. Or I could invent a clock which could turn back time. I will introduce myself to you all over again, you will have to know me from the beginning again just like 18-12-02. Wouldn't that be nice? Oh well...
My heart has sunken too... :_ (

From me to someone:
"Is your heart dead or alive? Somehow, somewhat, I pierced your fragile heart once again... No deny, I am a needle, perhaps worse. At least a needle can sew or mend patches. What I do is just piercing fragile hearts, leaving unseeable blood stains. I wanted to sew back your bleeding heart, but yet, I pricked it further. I don't know when the bleeding will stop, maybe never....." :_ (
