Simply Love My Weekends
Had a great weekend :) Nothing too eventful...it was the food, the relaxed pace in which we went about our activities, and a great companion (Pete), as we talked about everything under the sun amidst the activities, that make me look forward to the weekends.
21 Sept, Friday:
Pete and I saved our appetites to have a good dinner after work. As we were still hungering for the desserts which looked so tempting on the Azabu Sabo menu, we decided to head for it at Marina Square:
What we came for: Dessert! Strawberry ice-cream, with fresh strawberries, dumplings (like mochi), red bean paste, topped with strawberry syrup. Sluuuurrp! (But I had a stomachache a while later, but again...what's new?)
Saw a pair of shoes at Charles & Keith, and figured they will make a nice pair of dinner shoes. We decided I will only get them if I still thought about them after dinner, which I did, so here they are! Ha ha!
22 Sept, Saturday:
Woke up bright and early on Saturday morning (actually later than I would wake up on weekdays :P) for our supposedly weekly jog at West Coast Park. It has been a long time since I went running, whereas Pete has been getting regular workouts during his RT thrice a week. Not surprisingly, I could not run much, but it was a good effort la.....I did sweat it out...ma...
Headed to West Coast market for a breakfast of soya bean milk, you tiao, and jwee kuey after the run. So much for the run...
We went back to my place and plonked ourselves on the couch to watch the Korean tearjerker A Moment to Remember.
Meal-time again, and we decided to have the famous duck rice near my place for dinner. Coincidentally, Cindy called up just as we were about to leave the house to ask for directions to the duck rice stall! We met up over dinner, and I saw Jasper for the 3rd time since he arrived into this world ha ha. Big boy now (and hyperactive), with huge eyes. Good genes from the mother ;)
Pete and I headed to Vivo City after dinner to catch the comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Despite it being a comedy starring Adam Sandler, I found myself nodding off during some parts of the movie, and wishing it would end soon. I think it was because we caught the 9.45pm movie. But, that's not a good reason ya, I think I just have this "Lao Lang" (old people) disease or something, where I have to go to bed early, as it has been proven that it is not just action movies that put me to sleep anymore. I'm a laaaaoooo laaaannnng......
23 Sept, Sunday:
The 1-for-1 high-tea voucher at Hotel Intercontinental expires next week, and we decided to utilise it this afternoon! The English high-tea items came in 3 tiers, made up of sandwiches, muffins, quiche, small pieces of cakes, and some pudding made with mango and soursop. Despite being bite-sized, the food was rather filling.
We walked around Bugis Junction, and were surprised by some of the changes and new shops. It has been quite some time since we were there. We proceeded with more walking around at Marina Square, before settling down for dinner at Sakae Sushi (our unanimous choice of relatively safe food (least "stomachachy"). Had our usual sushi and chawamushi, and tried the Chicken Sukiyaki as well.
That was basically our weekend...
21 Sept, Friday:
Pete and I saved our appetites to have a good dinner after work. As we were still hungering for the desserts which looked so tempting on the Azabu Sabo menu, we decided to head for it at Marina Square:
Pete's order of Japanese Beef Curry with Omelette & Rice. Looks good, tasted good, just a little on the salty side in my opinion.
My order of Pork Cutlet Rice. Pork was not tender enough that Pete broke the spoon while trying to cut it.
Broken spoon vs the metal spoon that the waitress gave Pete after the little accident. Wahahaha!

After a satisfying meal.......

Chicken Sukiyaki - Very, very sweet soup with chinese long cabbage, beancurd, mushrooms, and chicken added, with a bowl of egg for dipping.....
...but we decided to beat it and mix it into the soup
That was basically our weekend...
What else, am counting down again... ;)
