Absolutely in Heaven

Bobo has always been one to try out new places... and this one was no exception!! Its cosy ambience and good location (in Prinsep Place amongst all the funky eateries) is certainly a draw. She's also a sucker for simple modern yet cosy decor and this place certainly fit the bill.

Ultra romantic don't you think? This was on a weekday evening,
so you might want to make reservations if you're heading there during
the weekends!

The Food

This was the Seafood Platter ($18)
This one was quite disappointing.
There was Calamari, fish, fries and prawns. But the batter used was too thick and
Bobo didn’t really fancy it after two pieces from the plate.
But the serving was large and can easily be a starter for 4-5 people.

Oriental Codfish($24)
Codfish served with bacon on asparagus. Bobo loved this one.
The codfish was served with bacon but the tastes were quite separate.
Bobo liked the taste of the fish, which was light and just right.

Chicken Roulade $20.00
Bobo liked the herb taste in the chicken meat itself.
The chicken was wrapped around some spinach and bacon.
But she enjoyed eating the chicken itself more than the entire combination.

Tenderloin Steak ($28)
The steak was cooked just right and was a little charred at the outside.
But the meat was not marinated, as the chef preferred for
people to taste the original taste of the beef. So the sauce was
quite thick to help with the flavour of this dish.
This was served with potato and carrot gratin which was pretty filling.

Tira Mi Su ($9)

This is not your usual tiramisu. It was different. The taste and
texture was ok but there was no smell of liquor so that was a little wierd.
The centre was a little pudding-ish instead of the usual fluffy texture.
But not too bad on the whole. Interesting dessert.

Victorian Creme Brulee ($9)
Isn't it pretty? She loved the presentation A LOT!
The taste of the dessert itself was ok. Much like custard save for the
crisp top layer.

They provided really good service and
Bobo really enjoyed herself there.

Try it some time!

Bobo's preparing another post... ... busy busy busy with work. Tomorrow then!

Personal

Beatbox Singing...

Watch this. You have to.

Bobo was so impressed... esp at the end... the last piece where it seems like he's doing the beats simultaneously...

**sidetrack: people hear it as simultaneous due to the lag in our hearing ability. if two sounds occur in .... less then 1/3 of a second the brain would register it as simultaneous... So he's going really fast.

Bobo tried a little but best she sounded was like some farts.

Darn!! but at least she didn't put herself up on Youtube like someone else thick-skinned...

Papa: But must test.
Mama: Ok.

Papa: Kettle spoil
Mama: Ok then don't test already.
Papa: Spoil la.
Mama: Ya so don't test already. Waste my gas.
Papa: The plastic thing spoil.
Bobo: Ya... Pa... so don't try anymore.
Papa: Noooo The thing spoil.
Bobo: Ya.... so don't boil any more water.
Papa: The thing stuck inside.
Mama: Ya so it's spoilt then we buy new one. Then you don't test any more.
Bobo: Ya.....
Papa: No ... You all don't understand.
Mama and Bobo: ??????

*******************

Bobo: Pa. Where are you?
Papa: Here.
Bobo: ?? Where is here?
Papa: In the car.
Bobo: ?! Where is the car?
Papa: Parking.
Bobo: Where are you parking?
Papa: Carpark.
Bobo: Where is the carpark?
Papa: Office.
Bobo: Oh so are you coming back for dinner?
Papa: Soon.
Bobo: How soon is soon?
Papa: 10 minutes.
Bobo: Ok.

He was back 2 hours later.

From Engrish.com,

I'm sure the elevator knows how to read.
And Yes people do purposely run into accidents.

OH NO.... doggie!!!

Hello. Is this the Problem Dept?
Yes I would like to have 2 more problems.

Oh and how many months Gravid are you?

And one from Singapore.... STOMP,

Really wierd choice of words. Bobo figured that they had put a Slow Down sign at first but it just didn't work out. So they needed something .... that could bring the message across. :P

Personal stuff. Over the weekend, Love brought BObo to a cutesy restaurant in Ang Mo Kio...

Pepper Lunch...

Quite cool really. The food is served on this really hot plate and cooks while it's served. :) so you get to stir it around and cook as you eat even. :) Bobo had Salmon and Chicken Combo...

It's really yummy. They've quite a few outlets all over the place. TRY TRY TRY!

That aside... Bobo thinks that parents should give more thought when thinking of a name for their kids.

Last but not least...

TGIF!

Bobo went to the Javanese Massage's Slimming Centre today.

As usual, Bobo went to the receptionist and she got Bobo a therapist... she signalled to Bobo to enter the room where the therapist was.

Bobo went in and someone's bare ass greeted her.

Bobo was slightly stunned and the therapist appeared from behind the curtain and smiled. She asked Bobo to follow her... Bobo did, and to Bobo's dismay... there was another bed on the other side........

Bobo wasn't really upset at having seen someone else's behind but that just means that Bobo's white tofu ass will also be seen! (by someone other than the therapist.)

Sigh but it seemed like such a normal thing to them so I just followed along... the therapist asked me to strip and get ready. I did and when she came back

She started talking about the packages they had.

Must she do that when Bobo's standing there without clothes?!

Thankfully she wasn't hard-selling. She just introduced ALL the packages and started to take Bobo's measurements.

Then the rest was ok... Took measurements, went for a steam bath (the machine quite run-down looking), lie on the bed for a "slimming massage". It occurred to Bobo that what if the customer cannot fit on the tiny bed? Other places have much bigger beds while this one is only slightly wider than Bobo herself. Hmmm

Anyway then the therapist started slathering all the slimming gel. That's when it really went downhill. While massaging the gel on Bobo's tummy area, she accidentally brushed some on the boobs.

THIS IS SLIMMING GEL CAN?! I DUN WAN TO BECOME AN AIRPORT RUNWAY!
(**flat-chested)

Bobo jumped up and started to use the towel to clean off as much as possible. The therapist was taken aback. Bobo tried to smile (really.) and told her that some got onto the chest area... too warm...

After cleaning, Bobo let her continue... thinking that there wasn't much more to do anyway but all the time still imagining boobs dissolving away.

Then the therapist asked Bobo to stand and proceeded to wrap Bobo in cling wrap. She gave Bobo a towel to cover the boobs then use the cling wrap to cover her whole body. It was fine until halfway through, Bobo realised that there was tingling at the chest area.

SHE GAVE A TOWEL THAT HAS SLIMMING GEL ON IT!
heart attack...

Bobo nearly fainted at that thought... but still kept telling herself that she's just imagining things. Then Bobo had to lie in this hot blanket thing. The therapist said it was to help dissolve the fats... (the boobs?!) and left the room.

Lying there alone, Bobo started to realise that she was wrapped up too tightly and can't breathe. Plus the slight tingling at the chest was causing Bobo to be very anxious.

A few minutes later, the therapist entered talking on her handphone. It was very disturbing and hard to relax. That's why spas have relaxing music isn't it?!

Bobo called out, asking how long she had to be inside. The therapist answered 10 minutes.

Bobo had already been in there for 10 minutes.

But the therapist continued her conversation on the phone, leaving Bobo in there for another 10 minutes.

Well. Not too hard to guess what Bobo's answer was when they asked Bobo to sign up for a package of 10 such sessions.

Bobo's answer to Pet Friday Meme...

This is 小白 Xiao Bai (loosely translated as 'Little White') She's Bobo's BUNNY. She's mostly white so that sort of explains her name. But her name's a little common really. Initially there were plans to call her 晚餐 Wan Can (Dinner) cos Jie's bf kept joking about making her into a stew. :P

HR in the Civil Service

Finally had a little time to go to MrBrown and saw the post above....

I'm sick of writing about this really. go there and read it.

Disgusted

Watched the movie "The Last King of Scotland" and made the mistake of drinking too much Lychee Tea during the movie. Had to walk triple speed to the toilet only to find a long queue awaits me...

As I 'patiently' waited for my turn, a girl sashayed in, right past all the patient girls. She stood in front of the first cubicle with a diet pepsi in her hand. She leaned against the door and...

Girl outside cubicle: 你要多久啊?
Girl inside: 我看....
Girl outside: 怎么了?
Girl inside: 我看你进来吧.
Girl outside: 你要我进来哦?
Girl inside: 嗯
Girl outside: 好 那你开门啊.

Summary: That the girl inside the first cubicle asked the Sashay girl to join her in the cubicle.

It's not uncommon... Anyway here's my turn to enter the cubicle just as the girl opened the door for her friend to enter. As luck would have it I was in the cubicle next to theirs...

The Sashay Girl put her can of Pepsi on the ground... and then... I couldn't believe my ears... I could hear them eating. I swear I heard them eating. And in their "excitement" they dropped their 7-11 bag on the floor.

When I left my cubicle I saw them leave.... and they left the can on the floor in the cubicle.

URGH. They had to be unhygenic to eat in the toilet... but that's their own business.. but they had to LEAVE THEIR RUBBISH BEHIND?! No wonder there are Cockroaches and Ants... Urgh.
No thanks to them....

Moreover it was really crowded at Cineleisure then and it was super inconsiderate to be doing this sort of nonsense at that time.
