We head back home for a while afterwards and head of to swim. But it wasn’t a good day though; the weather wasn’t kind to us. It was just about 1 hour of swim/tan before the dark cloud starts to float by and thunder was heard. The 1 hour swim we had wasn’t under the broad sunny day either. We didn’t get much of the tan we wanted, so we head for the sauna. It was my cousin’s first time trying the sauna although she had lived at the apartment there for years. I guess their family wasn’t keen on using the facilities they have there, or they didn’t even know it was there. She said she felt like she was in the desert but I was the one sweating like a roasted pig. I enjoyed it though, she on the other hand didn’t break a sweat and was feeling tortured. After intentionally making the sauna hotter and hotter, she finally succumbed to the heat and went out of the room. I thought it was fun, she thought it was like torture.

Went out of the ladies to check the condition of the weather before we finally decide on heading home. Gave up, totally, it looks like it’s about to rain anytime soon… Total disappointment I would say, I hardly got chance to enjoy the tan with company.

A little bit of resting at home and went off to have dinner with my sis, it’s not just my sis alone though, my cousin whom I hardly see or talk to, my brother whom I never really talk to although I see him every day, and his girlfriend whom I see sometimes but hardly talk to. I thought it will feel awkward at first, well at some point of time I really did feel awkward but the food there really suck me in so much that I kind of forgotten about the awkwardness.

It was “dian xiao er” we went to at marina square. The place is a tiny eatery but unique design. It was designed to be like those erm… ancient Chinese food stall on the street where people don’t raise their hands for waitress, they just shout “XIAO ER!!!SHANG CHAI” but of coz, no one does that now. The waitress wearing those ancient chinese style waitress uniforms too.

The food was great, the herbal duck is their specialty and the sauce wasn’t that thick in texture but deep in taste. Although it is deep herbal taste but it wasn’t those smelly kind, in fact I quite like the smell to it. The duck itself almost seemed like Beijing roast duck. The skin is crispy although its soaked in herbal sauce. The meat wasn’t too hard like some eateries. The skin, omg, I believed I took almost half of the dish with the crispy skin on it. Those with little meat and a lot of skin… ooooh..

The sesame blah blah chicken is nice too… appetizing I would say. The sauce is a little sour, a little sweet with a little spice. The sauce was thick, but none of the taste involved was too extreme, it was a good blend with special aroma added to it.

There were some weird conversation going on halfway the meal though, pretty much about my brother’s girlfriend’s job but somehow related to me. It seems I became an ideal candidate for their project’s target of interview. She say I met the criteria, so I thought why not? About 5 seconds after I agree, she started spelling out the criteria. Christian but more to the radical type(I am? Ok..), IT savvy, (I am? Ok..) Female (Definitely) and some other things which she said made me feel doubtful if I am really what she is looking for. Anyway, since I agreed and she think of me this way, (not necessary good, I don’t really like people thinking of me this way.) but c’mon, who likes 100% what people think about that be it right or wrong. Decided to give it a go either way, She haven’t give me the details yet, I was half hoping she will forget about it. There is no $ to earn anyway, but if might not be a bad thing if their interview process suddenly hit them that I am not all what they think I am.

Anyway…

It was my sis last night in Singapore before she head for her Europe trip, so the meal ended up being her treat. We head to another place for desserts after that.

“Azabu Sabo” well, you can tell from the name that it’s a jap place, specialize in desserts though. The place is nicely decorated.They have a wide range of desserts not to mention the special flavor. Not everywhere you can find these flavors or combination of taste. The black sesame ice cream there was good, but not thick enough, I prefer those in jap mochi ice cream. Much thicker… more flavor.

The milk shake there is such a bitch. I know its damn fattening yet I can’t help but order one glassful. Chocolate banana milk shake. Not much of chocolate though, more banana. I had wanted to order something else more chocolaty but I just want to try the banana chocolate coz I can’t remember when I last had something like that. It’s probably not hard to make at home. But … laziness is the reason why I am fat in the first place.

Anyway, after we ordered what we want, all the girls went to the ladies and to giodarno getting all the needs after the little accident in dian xiao er (waitress drop plate, stain the clothes etc) After getting the needs, I walked into Billy Bombers thinking it was Azabu Sabo. Quite clumsy of me these 2 weeks walking into all the wrong places. Halfway when I couldn’t find the seats my brother and cousin was. I realized the whole décor of the place is not right… Had my sister and future sister in law laughing at me… I guess I am getting use to all the clumsiness lately.

Recently though, I feel like having some real chocolate shots, those in Melbourne. Thick and oooooo, chocolaty. I miss it soooo much… if someone would da bao that thing from Melbourne for me, I will kiss her till her face rot half way.

So if someone, anyone, knows of any place in Singapore which serve something called the chocolate shots, let me know. It’s basically a thick chocolaty liquid, super duper thick kind. In a shot glass… My body is screaming for that forbidden potion. Please let me have it….
