just watch finished F1 Singapore GP. Congratz to Alonso... Its abit wasted that Ferrari didn't make it. For Massa, its a mistake by pitstop team, with the fuel pipe still in when he take off from pitstop. For Raikkonen, he crashed with his right front wheel out of shape for racing. Guess it wasn't Ferrari's game. Luckily for Lewis Hamilton, he made it for the 3rd place.
Enuf said for F1. time of update for the past wk.
Friday...
dinner was done outside with JC & ZS at Curry Favor. While exiting the Cityhall MRT, there is a big crowd. Partly because of the practice session of the F1. Standing at a far side, you can still here the roaring engine of F1 cars. For me, I like the sound but its not a preference for JC. She dun like the screeching sound of the tyres partly because of her childhood experience that leave her a bad memory.
Recorded the sounds, maybe will be my new ringtone. its the 2nd time i'm having meals at Curry Favor. They're specialised in Japanese Curry Cuisine (that explains the name of the restaurant), which are not spicy. We ordered 3 side orders. One of it is Mushroom Fry. Taste good when dipped with the plum sauce. Yummy. The other order was soft-shell crab. Very interesting as it was almost like the shape of the hand. Took a photo of ZS posing with his hand side-by-side with the soft-shell crab. Another side was yakiniku yaki. The beef was chewy & juicy. Not very hard which makes it delicious, makes me think of the beef from the jap restaurant @ M-Hotel. Too bad its closed. I'm wondering if I will get to eat that beef again. For main course, I had minced beef curry, ZS had vegetarian curry & JC had pork katsu curry. Left the place after the meal, as they seems to be closing.
As it was still quite early, we decided to go for a drink. Walk past by Chijmes to check out on this maid bar. The maids can't really make it though. Some pubs were showing the F1 race on TV. JC was saying you get to feel the actual experience as you get to here the actual engine sound. Its good though but our final destination was another place, so kept moving. ZS was mentioning to go to this place supperclub. think we went to the wrong place & tot supperclub is not opened. so wen to this place called Loof instead. They do not hav the usual dat me & ZS usual take. So ordered another type of Whisky. The drink I had, Ballantine, tasted quite close to the usual drink I had. The 2nd drink I had was GummiBear. By this name, it sounded sweet & indeed it is sweet. The top layer was a layer of cream with some burned on top. Dun quite like the layer on top of the drink, so stirred it. tasted better after stirring I find. its like cranberry taste & with milk cream. JC does not hav alcoholic drinks, so she ordered bottled drinks which tasted jus too plain, like plain water. Not cheap for plain water as it was $5. After the drinks was head straight home. Bought supper at Mc for sis, as she's hungry. its crashed to bed for me.
Saturday...
visited Motorshow 2008 with ZC & YY. ZS cudn't make it as he's mting his fren. took lots of photos of cars & of cos beauties. this year there wasn't much of concept cars when compared to 2 yrs ago & this time the exhibition was smaller with the booth all on a single level. still remember that 2 yrs ago was 2 levels. maybe times are bad. But not bad was that we managed to watch the stunt show from Russ Swift & Paul Swift. Indeed, his skills are still there, not failing to disappoint the crowd. Took the video of the whole stunt show, which consumed majority of my cam's batt. Think will get another batt before I go overseas nxt mth.
after the show, we walked 2wards MS for dinner. Along the way, we waited on top of the bridge that links to MS frm Suntec. Saw the F1 cars passed by in seconds. Can't really snapped them in camera, guess they are really too fast. While waiting, I can feel the bridge trembling & I'm not kidding. Its like its going to fall, though the vibration is minimal. but still you can feel it. Think the crowd is jus too much.
dinner was settled at MOF @ My Izakuya. i will say the servicing is too good that the waitress keeps on pouring ocha for us. maybe the diners are not that much yet, as it was still early. alll of us ordered ramen for dinner. taste normal to be honest. not as fantastic as i tot. but think me & YY are same species, we sweat alot. haha... at least i'm not alone. we ordered dessert oso & its been a long time that I ordered something sweet, usual is definitely tastes sour type of dessert. but can't find much, so ordered 1 with fruits in it at least. the ichigo (aka strawberries) tastes sour, the type that will make u alert.
was talking wit YY on the music that they are playing. alot of classics that we heard during poly times. ZC was quiet for the day though. unusual for him to be dat quiet. wondering wats wrong. anyway, left the place after dinner & head home to prepare to watch the qualifying race of F1. quite low-life though to reach home that early.
Maybe thats y i'm drinking while writing this blog. drank a few cups of red wine (can't remember how many was it, 4 or 5 cups i guess) tmr celebrating YT bday. wondering where will the dinner be as she's still haven't decided where to eat. leave it to her to decide as she doesn't want to go town. so see how it goes... blog again...
