Don't you just love the Noel Hampers commercial? I thought it was simply brilliant. Although I have a lingering feeling that the version we see on prime time tv seems to be an abridged version. I just think the two secretaries behind the bosses have some role to play. Though i don't see them doing anything. They're the ones actually ordering the hampers right? Anyway, its one of the coolest local commericals I've seen in a while, right after the Double A series.
Anyway, we were out celebrating Jiajie's birthday(Happy Birthday!) yesterday. Now, I don't normally go restaurants that much so i could be misguided. But i think Kuriya's at Raffles City has one of the most efficient staff I've ever seen. I have waitresses peering at my teacup every nanosecound and retreating disappointed every time they see that I still have tea in mine. Two waitresses clamoured to wipe our table almost as soon as some drip manifested itself and the one who succeeded seemed genuinely glad she got to do it.-_-"
Anyway, the food wasn't too bad and pricing was quite reasonable for a penny-pincher like me. Though i personally don't like going to either Japanese or American-styled restaurants. The former has nicer food but always seemed to end with me feeling half-full at the end of the meal while the latter makes me feel like I'm filled up to my throat. I personally think the Carl Jr's meal is a set meal for two. Attempting to polish off one SuperStar burger by yourself is tentative to a self-invitation to stomach explodititis.
We adjourned to a neat little place at Punggol Park after that, although due to some slight misadventure, we took quite a bit of time getting there. Quaint little place, sorta like a bistro/cafe that overlooks a body of water. looks quite picturesque at night, due to the hazy reflection of the HDB blocks in the water, sorta looks like an urban Taj Mahal. Food wasn't too bad(i heard) and it presented an ideal location for the cake cutting. I can't remember where i got the cake but its a mocha marble cheesecake. And i thought it was the tastiest thing i've had all evening.^^
Anyway theres this local motorshow going on now, and in the past, i will be there in an instant, checking out the rides and the babes. But in the recent few years, i really can't be bothered. It seems the show is becoming more and more akin to a mega car showroom rather than a showcase of each company's tour de force. As for the babes, from pictures I've seen online, it seems half of them are the same ol' people you see at almost any other event. I guess we're still a long way off from attaining a status even remotely near the levels of events like the Tokyo Autosalon or the Osaka Automesse.
