Arg, okay I really had to rack my brains to write about the buffet.

Went to work in the morning. Took the bus down and walked from the bus stop opposite Millenia Walk to the Flyer. There is this cabin that is on display outside the carpark opposite the Flyer. Its interior has been decorated with Christmas decorations in view of the up coming festive season. Saw that they had set up the cabin like the Dining cabins on the wheel with the dining table covered with a white cloth and black chairs arranged neatly. First thing that came to mind, dinner to mourne the dead?

It looked rather melancholic. I mean when you think christmas decorations, you'd think bright and colourful tinsels hung all around with candles in the figure of angels, ballerinas, santa clause and soldiers arranged neatly on the table complimenting the gold ware and like sparkles, lots of them. But no I didn't see any of that at a distance. I only manage to see the really puny christmas stars and ornaments displayed on the table when I was right in front of it. And the ornaments were blue and white in colour. There was a chritmas tree that was like half my height that stood miserably at the corner.

I pity the tree, think it felt useless.

Like hello? Christmas? Lights? Tinsels? Angels? Socks? Wreaths? LARGE FIR TREE???




hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm





I miss decorating the christmas tree and putting presents underneath it.

WHACK AN INTERNATIONAL BUFFET: attempt number #5 (I think).

We had some trouble deciding on a place to have a family meal to celebrate dad's birthday together with the end of year end examinations as well as christmas. You see, my family isn't very well to do, but we enjoy buffets a lot so after much thought and persuation and consideration and realisation that really we just love buffets in hotels with nice ambience, we settled on an international buffet at Traders Hotel - Cafebiz.

Cosy place to dine at, albeit a little too dimly lit. I've always wanted to learn to enjoy eating, especially to enjoy buffets. I never knew how - should I make sure I taste every single item on the buffet spread; should I just take my time to eat and make sure I savour my food? Its been a real puzzle to me. And you'd probably guess, I did not really fully enjoy the buffet today. Maybe I think too much, I shoulda just eat what is nice and not bother myself with so many questions. I guess I'm just not meant to be a foodie I guess.

Anyway, I forgot to bring my camera, and was kinda angry with myself because I'd like to look and remember the good food I've eaten. I don't have a good memory if you recall my entry on my trip to penang, I didn't remember what I ate besides the Prawn Mee and the Yam cake. But it was a good thing because usually when I bring my camera, I'd busy myself with taking photographs and as such, I can't concentrate on eating, which isn't good since my purpose is to enjoy the meal, so I rationalised and finally appeased my angry soul.

Am glad I didn't bring my camera.

International buffet with 7 stations - Salads, Japanese, Seafood, Dim Sum, Asian, Dessert and this order on the spot station. I headed for the Jap station first, and was not impressed with the sushi. The wasabi was good though.

They didn't serve a good serving of sashimi to my disappointment. They had a small miserably plate of sashimi which was often empty and honestly, the sashimi did not look fresh. Fortunately for me, I found a replacement. The salad counter had raw, thinly sliced pieces of salmon. Grabbed 7 slices had it mixed with lettuce and this other type of salad and poured a teaspoon on virgin olive oil on it. Rocked! Had 3 servings of raw salmon but the 2nd and 3rd servings consisted of only 2 slices. I just couldn't stomach anymore raw salmon.

I hit the Dim Sum station. The dim sum was not bad, especially the Siew Mai. Had lobster bisque as well, smiles smiles smiles, something served in cafe world, smiles a lot more. That rocked too.

The asian station was alright. Didn't get a kick out of that one. I don't know. Never really liked the asian dishes served in buffets, they never seem to impress me. Really wanted to try the pasta at the Cook on the Spot station (I came up with the name of the station myself because I don't know what it was called). But I thought I should save my stomach for the dessert station.

Which I did. Was already full by the time I hit the dessert. I spotted the Bo Bo Char Char but didn't have it as my first dessert and cheong war the Wine Jello, Apple and Banana Crumble and other mouse and cakes. And of all, I only liked the wine jello and the Crumble. I went to the Dessert station 3 times and did not get the Bo Bo Char Char and when I finally decided to have one bowl of it, IT WAS GONE!!! IT WAS FREAKING GONE. My heart weeped tears of sorrow.

Okay here is the memorial for the food I did not try but wanted so badly to.
1. BO BOR CHAR CHAR
2. ROJAK (really wanted to try that)
3. Self made pasta
4. MORE servings of crumble
5. Soba (which I secretly wanted to try)
6. Fruits at the salad bar
7. Everything on the Dessert table

You can tell how dull the description of the buffet was. I don't know. But I just did not feel satisfied. Unlike shopping, I feel satisfied like almost everytime even if I don't buy anything.

Rating: 3/5 for food and 3.5/5 for ambience

I came home yesterday and saw that Cosmo and George was on TV.

There was this girl who was with George (who is a girl), and she said this, " George, I need to be alone sometimes."

That was freaking brave. Like I can never muster the courage to admit that I need to be alone. I'd just come up with a lie to escape.

Went to Suntec to check out the Olympus E-P1 and to ask a few questions to assure myself that I was going to buy the right camera. Had to make sure of it, or else it would be 1.5K down the drain. Passed a pet shop that had rabbits and hamsters in their display window. There was a casing with 2 bunnies, one black and the otehr white. SHO CUUUTE!!

Freaking cute, with short ears and hung low. Okay they didn't really hang but were pointing downwards most of the time. And when the bunnies curled up they looked like a huge ball of cotton wool, especially the white one. OMG!!! I liked the black one though, it looked cuter, but together they were just cuteness. At that moment, I told myself, I want a bunny. Really they are damn damn cute. I have never seen bunnies that cute before. So well groomed and adorable, EEEEEEEEEE*Squeels with joy*!!

I think my spoken english is getting from bad to worse. It isn't a good thing. My grammar is all over the place, as you can probably tell from my writing. I really need to brush up on my language skills, I cannot afford to falter in that. I need to read more and make sure that I speak proper english.

!Reminder!

I really hate it when people just do not help when they ought to; to just sit back and complain when they do not even give suggestions or show any form of support. Forget it you know. Why do I have to do this? Yes I know I want it too, but I can do without it okay.

Bad mood again. No, its got nothing to do with hormonal changes. I'm just pissed with how stagnant everything is. She was right, death cannot be worse than falling from your throne of glory. Ain't doing anything either. Only ranting. Guess what, I don't know what I should do. I do not welcome suggestions. Just leave me alone to sulk, I want to do that.

Mood:Pissed

Ate at The Handburger just now.

Its pricey but the burger tasted good. Forgot to take pictures of it.

I've been meaning to try out their burgers. But because it was expensive I had to have a good reason to treat myself to a burger. Rach said one fine day that she wanted to like relax for awhile before she continues her study battle. So I thought well, might as well grab the opportunity to eat at The Handburger. It was a good choice I would say.

This is my style, I love to find out as much about the restaurant/cafe/food place before I actually go try their food. I'd like to make sure that the decision I make is a right one and at the same time prepare myself for it. Like what I learnt in econs, its important for consumers to be well informed about their choices so as to make the best possible decision so as to avoid wastage. What would be wasted in this context is money.

I would say that it wasn't a wrong decision made. But I didn't make good use of the opportunity I got to fully appreciate the meal. I know that you can actually select the bun for the burger but somehow I didn't. When I looked at the menu I realised that they didn't really show us a list of buns they had. But from the research I did, by walking past the shop several times and staring at their menu for a very long time until I think the staff at The Handburger recognise me that I felt quite embarrased to actually walk pass the shop again, I know that had a variety of buns you could choose for your burger. But I didn't ask. Maybe it was because I was too excited to try their burger that I just wanted to get my burger fast.

So we got out burger. Rach's burger took a longer time to cook and was served a lot later (minus on service there). Ingredients stacked high though I think, not as high as the burgers at Botak Jones but high enough such that they had to put the top bun at the side. Rach's one even required a skewer to keep the ingredients in place. The food was dry, because they were fried, but it tasted good.

Lots of tomatoes though. There was a chilled stuffed tomato that was stuffed with coleslaw and a slice of tomato in our burger. The stuffed tomato is nice by the way, better than the straight fries. The patty was think but dry but tasted nice. Another thing that is attractive is that the ingredients were rather unique. My burger especially had this sweet fruit that was fried/baked. Think its pear or apple. Its not disgusting, its like how they cook the apples in apple crumbles. The burger had sweet onion sause and Blue Cheese spread. Rach's burger had sunny side up, onion rings, bacon and this nice cheese that fell nicely on the patty.

It was really filling.

RATINGS... ...
1 - low quantity
5 - high quantity

...in whatever quantity you use. Be it meters, decibles or kilograms

TASTE: 4/5 tougues
Sweetness: 4/5 sweets. I'd consider my meal to be sweet. Like they had sweet sause, the onion rings were sweet, so were the cooked fruits. The stuffed tomato was considered sweet as well.
Salt level: 3/5 spoons of salt. Its just nice for me though, the fries was a little salty though.
Bitter: 0 not bitter at all
Sour: Well I don't recall, but if there was any taste of sour, it made the burger taste nice.

Service: 3.5 hands
We had complimentary water and each time we finished our drink the waiters/waitresses would come and refill our cups. It was prompt. We asked a waitress about Rach's burger because it took a little too long for us to wait any longer. The waitress who served the burger apologised for the wait which I thought was a polite thing to do. So for that 3.5 hands.

Prompt: 3.5/5 lightning bolts. The late serving of Rach's burger was just frustrating lar.
Politeness/helpfulness: 4/5 smilies

Ambience: 3/5 (don't know what I logo I should have for ambience...birds?)
Design: 4/5 Chairs. The concept of the shop was nice. I liked its design. Really neat look.
Clealiness: 3/5 Sparkles. Its generally clean, but there were bits of tissue on the floor. Oh yar, the waitress noticed that I saw tissue paper on the floor and apologised about it. Thumbs up for service.
Noise Level: 4/5 loud hailers Haha, yea, it was quiet at first until the crowd came. It became pretty noisy.
Comfort level: 2.5/5 sofas. It was a little squeezy when the crowd came in and the chairs did not have a back rest for me to lean on. It was nice to sit on though.

Others:
Moisture: 1/5 water droplets. It was dry in my opinion, and I really need moisture in mny food because my throat dries easily. But for those of you who love american food like botak jones or simply love fries and fried stuff, yea you will like the burgers.

Overall: Should go TRY it out. To try it for the taste and to see how the burger and other sides look and taste like.

I've been hoping to be deployed on level 2 so that I would get the opportunity to stick my thumbdrive into the USB port, go move my blog entry I did on 12th November and post it on bloggie but I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. I never grabbed the opportunity I get to do so.

*grabs toy hammer that squeaks and hits head*

So I volunteered myself to go usher the signature cocktail guests. I just wanted to prove that i could usher people well enough. But like every other thing I attempt, I flopped. I was so focused on ushering the guests up to the deck and eventually into the cabin for their cocktails and attending to their needs that I completely forgot about informing Megu and Ops about their arrival. I only remembered when I reached pictureworks and even so, I only remembered to inform Ops. That was when Megu realised and asked in a rather hostile manner saying, "Eh don't need to inform us to make the drinks huh?". Okay, maybe its just me, but I hate it when I do something wrong and when that happens, it feels like the whole world is reprimanding me for my mistake. The feeling sucks completely.

I felt really bad. I wanted to show that I could do something well but well, I suck at doing things well. Sigh. Sorry lar, its just me and my inattentiveness. To make things worse, my memory is failing me. Maybe Miss Huang was right, I am a Dory fish.

Attention deficit disorder? Its not like there is something different that catches my attention everytime. My eyes don't move from like ceiling to floor to chair to some other stuff. In fact, its constantly in search for something to concentrate on. FAHNNY LEH.

I need to learn to focus. Yes. But then there is something that is stopping me from doing so. The need to just be me. When I can just be ever so inattentive to things that happen around me and only be concerned about what I do or am interested in. Its tiring to have to be on the look out for something you cannot be bothered about. Sadly, if I want to get a job, I have to be concerned about things I cannot be bothered about. And here again comes my dream to be come a tai tai.

TAI TAI WANNBE!!!!

But some sickening fortune teller told my parents that my life would be ordinary. So demoralising right? That's why they say that we should not go consult those fortune tellers and have them foretell our future. Must learn to make the best out of everyday and you will have no regrets.

Tell you my topics change faster then a chameleon changes colour.

Was just reading Xia Xue's Blog. Okay its in freaking pink but I don't care. Its just interesting, something that I can't achieve (just checked the dictionary to, once and for all, get the spelling of achieve right). I like pei fu all those people who are freaking creative. BOWS BOWS

Listening to Dani California on my blog on another tab.

I ought to be sleeping if not they will complain that I look tired and lifeless again.

EH, LOOKING LIFELESS AND TIRED IS COOL OKAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

Pissed.
