Noting What's Notable...
Friday Night:
Yummilicious Thai food with ex-colleague, colleague and their friend. Ex-colleague was a copywriter with us and was married to an Taiwanese American and they had their Singaporean wedding reception last month. I met their friend at the dinner.
I'm sorry, was too busy talking and going "Mmmmm...!!" that I forgot to take pictures of the food. Every dish is superbly delicious and authentically Thai. Had a great time too.
Restaurant is located along Maxwell Road, opposite the Maxwell market. It's one of those shophouses sandwiched between Telok Ayer Methodist Church and Maxwell house. And the restaurant name is called Lotus something.
Must try: Lemongrass salad, fried Kang Kong, Red Curry, Tom Yam soup. They didn't order the Volcano Chicken probably because of the way it's presented, hehz. You can have a preview of that at the iMac terminal in the restaurant.
Wondlicious, or as colleague said... "Oishi!" :)

Today:
Was my first time stepping into Children's Ministry in church. Adorable 3 - 4 year olds. But we were lucky, as the sister who asked me to come in had additional 3 youth helpers, so it was very much under control. Yeah, the kids cried for a little while when they came in at first, but they were pretty much okay after the praise and worship.
It was fun, and they are all so huggable! :) And so tiny... :) Reminded me of my first time joining the children ministry back in PC. I couldn't understand why is this ministry so short-handed... Maybe I haven't experience the terrible ones yet...
So yes, I loved my experience today, can't wait to return next week! :D

After church, friend and family invited me and a few of church friends to Sakae Japanese Restaurant. Yep, another round of eating again! :D I am blessed!
After the entire meal, we (and the other 3 guys) realised that it was my friend's birthday, and she told her husband to get us all together for a treat! Hehehe... See what being nice brings you? :D
Fortunately, Japanese food are less fat-inducing than Thai food :) I ordered my regular toufu and salmon sashimi and kakige and shared the other cooked dishes with the guys. The guys are residents of a half-way house supported by the church, and friend's husband is one of the helper. That's how I got to know them, through the Christmas party I went last year.
It was nice for friend's husband to gave us a treat, especially for the guys, because unlike us, they don't go for such restaurants often. It gave them an opportunity to taste Japanese food and to understand that not all Japanese food are raw. Heh!
Everyone was happy when we stepped out of the restaurant. After that the men and the guys went home, friend and I went for Ben and Jerry's! Woohoo! Then we went to Daiso. Friend need a a longer time to look at the stuffs in store and so I left home before her.
I came home to "stone" after that. Just basicaly lazing around, not wanting to do much except tv watching, hehz! Finished tv marathon with Ugly Betty. Somewhat could identify with her as an underdog in a creative industry. The tension, the demands, the requirements... Oh well, don't all jobs have the same requirements too? :)
Alright, time to go sleep and wake up to a brand new day!
Good night!
