Jimmy Choos might be able to have plenty of quiet afternoons or noise mahjong afternoons but for normal shoes and slippers quiet afternoons are like inflation; periodical and costly. Menotti made that afternoon wonderfully decadent with service suitable for such an establishment. Normally we get the shrug since 'Kids' are poor. I wonder what happens if say Hilary Lohan walks in.

To be honest the menu was boring limited nothing fancy but well done. On first look the menu seems quite comprehensive until you realise that half of the menu is their wine list. That is boring for one who is allegic to alcohol and one that is on medication....
Anyway, we started the meal with the Ceasar salad. The reason why we said that the menu is limited as the choice was made was through reasoning by elimination...

The salad was nice. The sause was evenly coated on the leaves and the bread infuse with garlic was tasty. Interesting, I had no idea it was garlic bread until I tried it. That is cool. The White stripes you see there is cheese. I have no idea what kind but its the kind like you want to throw up but swallow simultaneously; much like raw oysters!

In a way our order at Menotti was odd. 1 Salad and 3 Desserts and drinks for 2 is quite odd i guess. Alright it onto the main course, desert!

From the pictures you would see three deserts. From the foreground to background, the deserts there are Modiva , apple strudel and 'paconti' . Can't remember the actual names my bad. I am writing this really really long after that afternoon. Lets start then,

MODIVA
You see chocolate oozing out; you see gold dust on top; you see it half eaten. But you do not hear the crack the sound that comes from the chocolate shell inside that keeps the the black gold leaking out. Visually, its disgustingly decadent like a gold mine that struck gold albeit black gold. Lame but ya bear with it .... Nice desert.

Apple strudel
Apples. Apples with fibre not the mushy stuff you get in like Mac. Yum and flavorful a little dry but with the gelato, nice combination. 

Paconti
Cream cheese inside i think. nice nice.

Sorry for the lame parts on apple and p. no inspiration. =)

Some has not been back at work for a month. How much I wish to say, "just go to work already!". He thinks that I understand and accept his behaviour. I wish to accept his behaviour so I can act like him. I envy his lack of reponsibility and his flexible conscience. He said,"There is nothing much to look forward, I don't want to go". In my mind  I agreed but I still go until I break and take a break. Because in someone else's mind the same opinion of me as  I have of the one with flexible conscience exists. Bloody mary, Midori , amber dream , vodka on the rocks, whiskey neat, water-mix and whatever all sounds so good. Oh nothing just the pre-monday blues..

Shoes (shit stuck on the sole)

My mood dipped when you left or went back to the my base level. I have without realising until now gain security, hope and joy from being with you. I sit at time as a spectator as the drama around me unfold. I grieve and crestfall not for myself but for them. Sometimes not seeing is comforting but at the same time something is missing. The reason is  that I am one of the actors in this drama not a spectator. The director has given no script just the title "the son". Things get tough but we don't run. We endure. We excell.

Shoes bought this when Slippers came chilling at his place the other day.

Shoes: Nothing Delightfuly about it especially when you have grown accustomed to the MSG, salt and arificial flavourings of  childhood favourites like LAYs and CALBEE butt they would be great with dips. I didn't look at price as it was an impulsive buy;  I think its expensive as that was why I hesitated the first time I saw it. Saw an alternative one that is wheat base with more artifical goodness and a smaller hole to the pocket.Incidentally, i  agree with Slippers.

Slippers: It tastes okay. More of a high class childhood wang wang. But it just gets sick after a few more of it.

Conclusion: BORING

Cokezero

Coke-Cola Zero was recently introduced into the Singapore Market. Coke-Cola Zero is a sugar-free variation of Coke-Cola. Unlike the sugar-free Coke light, it is said to be better.

The Shoes and Slippers had personally tried it. Here are our review on Coke-Cola Zero:

Shoes: Tastes better than coke light a little sweeter my peeps are going for it.But don't be an idiot and use this as your main source of H2O.

Slippers: I didn't like it. It still taste pretty much like Coke light. Leaving this weird taste in mouth after drinking. -shrug- Maybe I just dont like anything that is sugar-free. I have a sweet tooth.

Conclusion: Coke light lovers will love it. Coke light haters will still hate it. Thus a nicer drink at a higher price. Big deal.... but kudos to the advertising campaign.

大家好!

今天我非常非常的开心 :D

因为期待依旧的实习已结束了!

Einstein's Monsters

Martin Amis

Einstein’s Monsters

Written by Martin Amis, Einstein’s Monster is a collection of five short stories and an introduction essay which is an attack of Nuclear weapons and the policies involved such as SDI MAD etc. I am not very interested in this topic but there are a couple of points which I very much like. First, he argues that nuclear war is highly possible as deterrence might fail before the sun burns out. Second, in the event a nation gets bombed where all gone what point is there to blow the other side? A pointless revenge with only more hurt and leaves the outcome unchanged. This idea is illustrated in first story where Bujak meets tragedy and loses his “force”. I felt the stories' common theme about the enviroment and us. We are fundamentally interactive beings and our we change with the world. When we meet tradegy, we change. When we meet physiological change, we change. When we meet sickness, we change. When we meet love, we change. When something inhuman occurs we are not fully human not now. I found the book difficult to read. Favourite story is "insight". The rest just didn't stick.

Under the Iron Sea

Under the Iron sea is a brilliant album. I honestly believe that its better than their first album. Just my personal opinion. My favourite slow/ sentimental song is Try Again. Reason being I love TOM!  Visual wise,he looks like a porcelain doll, fragile, classic and most importantly distant but deadly attractive. Audio wise, he as the voice to touch your heart because he knows what he is singing and believes in what he is singing. Please listen. I don't think you can judge a band by one song but I know this is a good song.

Keane - Try again

If you wonder who is my "baby" it changes and right now its my sis. Sis get better I want to "Fix it up , make it up some how" We are not talking but "Baby I'll try again, try again" even if  "Baby I die every night, every time". I love my sis more than she loves me. Keane's song is one of hope among the shadows. Chinese old sayings are so adept.
