Foodie for Thought.

Today, I had lunch with Yogi at a food joint at North Bridge Road, just opposite the National Library. The place is called Food For Thought. It'll be easy to miss it if you walk from the direction of Bugis towards City Hall, as the facade of the shop is tilted at and angle.

We decided to check out the place after as Yogi's friend had recommended. The place is small and cosy, with about 25-30 seats. That's me with my back facing the door.

And Yogi with her back facing the inside of the joint (she happened to be in pink too hah hah). Yes, that is really how small the place is. Hee hee.

But I like the fact that it was kinda quiet for a Saturday afternoon, no irritating noisy crowd. :p Probably, the place would be packed during weekdays lunch hour?

The place was artistically decorated with some nice pictures and posters.

There was no menu, the food and drinks available were all listed on the chalk board (I am guessing either they change the dishes or the prices periodically, so no point printing out menu!). And you make your order and payment at the counter. No GST and no service charge. You can get yourself some ice water at the counter too. Afterward, you can sit around and talk for as long as you want. Lol.

I ordered the Juicy Roasted Leg Set. Its chicken, comes with choice of soup. S$16.90.

The roasted leg was too much for me to handle, as the portion was probably enough for two? Hee hee. It wasn't fantastic but wasn't too bad at all.

Yogi ordered the Teriyaki Duck Pasta, S$15.90. Well, she liked it! I find the sauce a lil' too sweet for my liking. It did not come with soup, but you can add to your order.

Finally, the most delicious of all gotta be the dessert, Sticky Date Pudding.

It is muffin + ice cream. Looked really ordinary, but tasted wonderful. The warm muffin mixed well with the ice cream. The more I tried, the more I liked it.

A quick search on the net and I found their website. Apparently they had been around for quite a while. I'll probably be going back to try some other dishes, you may wanna try too. :)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...

Just In Time, For Bertrand's Big Day!

Twelve months ago, our baby boy came into this world. It was the beginning of our new journey. The delivery suite was cold. I held the camera tightly, waiting for the moment. The gynecologist came in and told me to put it away. "No time for this." My job was to urge my wife to push hard. "One and two and three..." And then, came his first cry. "Where's my camera? Where's my camera?" I scrambled for it. First was the cutting of umbilical cord, then the body check, the weighing scale, and Bertrand was in Mummy's arms for the first time. Before I knew, it had begun - my journey as a father and Bertrand's dedicated photographer. From the start, Bertrand is a natural when it comes to posing for the camera. He would look at the camera. The boy is cheerful. It was easy to capture him smiling. Not wanting to miss out any of it, I had the camera by my side, day and night. The first time he smiled, mumbled, laughed out loud, flipped over, crawle...
