Eating & Splurging..

Yesterday's mounting duty thought its a weekend mounting, however, duty was NOT slack at all! In fact, I did 10 hrs of duty at Main Guardroom (my usual is only 4-6hrs!)! And actually, I have a main gate duty frm 0300-0700 this morning, however, my shift mate wanted to change with me (I dun koe the reason).. and moreover, if I change, I can sleep frm 0300 till dismount, which is about 0800.. so ya..

Then this morning, woke up at about 0800, becos cant sleep further.. Saw breakfast and it sux big time, so I didnt eat loh! Then go to pass office to find someone to talk to, becos was a bit bored.. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I actually helped the person to answer phone calls becos he was busy.. and I actually frm slacking in pass office, become an escort for the grasscutters who are coming to our base and cut grass. Along the way, they stopped at a certain location and took their grass-cutting equipment. And suddenly, the duty officer appeared out of nowhere and questioned me.. Fortunately, I did koe how to answer or else..

Then dismount, came home, rest a while, eat my breakfast and bathe and got out of the house!

First stop, went to M1 Shop @ Bugis Junction to help my dad get a new phone, Nokia 6020. Then, went for tea break at Starbucks, and I had my usual, the Rhumba Frappacino.

Then its shopping round 3 branches of Adidas shops (Bugis Junction, Citylink & Suntec City).. was looking for other colours of the $59 Adidas T-shirt or at least see whether got other shirts tat is worth the $59.

Last stop was at Adidas, Suntec City Branch.. after looking thru and my mum also said tat the money paid for 1 t-shirt is not worth it, I decided to like look for other things to buy.. and guess wat.. After considering for a long time, I decide to buy a wallet from Braun Buffel!

The moment I saw the wallet, I fell in love with it! The color was so perfect and I wanted a Braun Buffel wallet badly! So since its not worth it to buy a T-shirt, I wld rather spend this money on a wallet instead!
Well.. there is more good news! Currently, they are having a storewide 10% discount (except for New Arrivals).. so the usual price of this wallet is $106, but after discount, I only bought it at $94.50! A great deal huh =)

Another view of the wallet. Believe it or not.. this is the PACKAGING for the wallet when u buy it frm the boutique stall! Super class and nice right?

Then after tat, met up with my dad and then my family proceed over to Marina Square for dinner.. Was supposed to eat Seoul Garden instead, but then, change of plans in the end, due to the strong objection by my sis.. haix.. women..

In the end, after much persuation, I decided the stall and convinced them to go to this restaurant in Marina Square, called "Changing Appetites (CA)".

If you see correctly, CA is one which did a fusion of Japanese & Western ingredients, and I find tat this is something unique.

Below are a few pics I've taken of the food.. so ya.. Explainations for the dishes are either taken frm their menu, or I wld add in phrases here and there.. so ya..

This is the Special Set Dinner for the day. Its actually included in the set, a bowl of soup of the day, a drink and the main course. All this for a mere cost of $15.80.. considering that I get to eat lobsters (tats wat they say.. but I wld think its crayfish!)..
Anyway, the crayfish they cook very power.. Its grilled and on top of it, melted cheese is being placed on top! So when u eat the crayfish, its the meat and all the other stuff loh..
Besides grilled lobster, it also had pasta.. and wat can I say? This $15.80 is worth every cent!

This dessert is called Dried Food Anmitsu. It's like chocolate fondue but Japanese style. This dessert contain the following: CA homemade red bean paste and green tea gelato ice cream served with jelly cubes (which is ching chow) and syrup syrup tossed with assorted dried fruits.

This dessert is called Heaven In Your Mouth. This dessert contain the following: Tiramisu and Vanilla Gelato ice cream topped with chocolate fudge and whipped cream on a cookie crust.. A-1 dessert!

ok lah.. have enjoyed much today and going back camp tml.. haix.. so gtg and sleep liaoz..

** I'm still counting down the days LEFT to serve.. its 234 DAYS to ORD!!

Super happy,
