(wow... got ink wor) time goes by really slow today. not many people come to work, and those who comes, doesn't work... ok lah, maybe just me, keke... brought my wine opener today, cuz cw bought the kangaroo ridge for a little celebration... and maybe the most quality work i did today was to complete the nomination form for 2008's RC chairman... :P my fav kangaroo ridge! and with a good wine opener, cw also cannot open a wine properly lor... weak ahhh... but thank god i 'ran' away after this bottle, cuz within the next 2 hours, cw, mathew, edmund et al opened and consumed 7 bottles of red wine... 有那么口渴吗?
brought joelle to have dinner at this 高记饺子拉面 resturant at buggis. the food is great, the service is superb! lets toast to end of 2007... cheers! first up, 小笼汤饱. there's only 1 way to grab the 饱, that is by using the chopstick and grab the 'nipple' of the 饱... (as best described by rek...) and to eat it, there are 2 methods: 1. put the whole 饱 into your mouth, and bite. (warning, hot oozing soup!) 2. nimble at the 饱, suck and drink the oozing soup, and munch the whole thing. enuff of 101 tips for eating 汤饱... here comes our 拉面. mine is the 酸辣海鲜拉面. joelle's is 炸浆拉面. after that, joelle is flipping thru the menu for dessert and i told joelle "好想吃一样东西". we both exclaimed "豆沙锅饼!!"
