May is indeed, the month of 大餐s

This week of big meals started on Thursday, when Hong Kiat treated me to a jap meal in Kotobuki. Initially, I think he had wanted to visit pariss international but I stopped him. Muahahahaha. Luckily, my auntie mind took over and I decided it was too expensive to dine there. Furthermore, I didnt know he was going to treat me that time.


The restaurant was actually recommended by dear xiao qian, and Guan had ate in it before. I decided to visit that restaurant due to its not-so-bad reviews. I would say the food is not too cheap, but its not too expensive either =P the service was really good, the restaurant was really clean, and best of all, their food rocks! Love their rice especially. They dont have buffet but the dishes are enough to fill one up. Should have brought my clique there instead of Nihonmura. Haiz.


Had another big meal yesterday, this time, it was to celebrate yilin's belated birthday. we went to Manhatten fish market. the portions were generous! and I felt that it was better than Fish & Co. and the restaurant seemed to be a favourite hangout for teenagers like us, coz the whole restaurant is full of them.


Met up with the XPYs before that! Havent seen them for quite sometime I guess. I would say it was a walking marathon yesterday, coz we walked from Cityhall to The Concourse, then to Bugis. After our lunch, we had walked to Raffles hotel to wait for the shuttle bus to Concourse.


Took a few pictures along the way.

The drawing was made by this famous artist, Julian Beever. I'm sure many of you have actually seen his chalk drawings in those forwarded emails. Anyway he was/is in Singapore and he drew this for the Arts Festival (I think) You can view it outside Raffles City Shopping Centre. To think I have been working in the vicinity and yet I dont know about this!

The picture above is also a "artpiece" for the Arts Festival. They used recycled materials? to do a garden up. Quite creative I must say.

And the XPYs took a picture amongst all the flowers (Dear dawn was late to meet us, so she wasnt in the picture. -_-)

We waited at the busstop for awhile and the shuttle bus didnt appear. we started guessing whether all the small vans we saw were actually the shuttle bus. but anyway, we then decided to enter the hotel to ask the staff there. Surprisingly, their attitude towards us were so polite! This was in stark contrast to the bloody crew I faced a few years ago, when Weilin and I decided to enter their hotel to walk a round. The guy happily rejected our entry, using Weilin's sandals as an excuse. Hello I saw other caucasians wearing slippers k.

We realized (with horror) that we have been waiting in vain for the bus, coz it doesn't operate on weekends :( to save some money, we decided to walk to The Concourse, and the road savvy simwan led the way :)

Passed by the area where they had the DHL hot air balloon. I had always noticed the balloon from afar from the place I worked. First time I got to see it at such a near distance. :)

Before we reached The Concourse, we passed by the Gateway. Unique building. Sw was telling us about the Singaporeans being superstitious about the shape of the building and so on. She actually heard that during the HR lecture. How come I didn't hear that last last sem? Maybe coz I haven been listening well. KEKE.

Went shopping with Dawn after Becca and Sw left. I really must hand it to her for visiting every single shop that sells ladies clothing. I'm too lazy to shop for clothes. wahahahaha.
