Went down to the post office today to collect a few parcels and really regreted doing so.
Reason no. 1: Apparently, the Saturday after a public holiday is called the peak period so there were lots of people there.
Reason no. 2: People near the front of the queue were either rooted to the ground or had undergone rigor mortis or something...They all just refused to move up front even though there was lots of space in front of them. In the end, people at the back(me) had to stay put in the increasingly squeezy queue. :(
Enough of the post office and let me blog about Donna's 21st dinner that took place on Good Friday.
Ate at this place called Trattoria Lafiandra which is located in the Singapore Art Museum. Dont ask me how to pronounce the name because I dont know how to anyway.
The restaurant was really pretty and there was a couple holding their small engagement party there~...or at least I thought that it was an engagement party. If it was not, then they were seriously overdressed. The head waiter there was really humourous and friendly~
Me and the birthday girl~
First, we had antipasti, which basically means starters. This dish was some eggplant cooked with tons of cheese. It was really cheesy and tasty~
Parma ham with rock melon with that green thing on top of it. The saltiness of the ham, mixed with the sweetness of the rock melon, was just too delicious for words. Yummilicious~
Not sure what this is called in Italian but basically, it's italian seafood tempura. Although it's fried but it did not have the icky oily taste and instead, it tasted really light and fluffy. Fuwafuwa~Okay, I dont know how tempura can taste like fluffy but it just felt like that to me. I obviously cant be a food critic. :D
Vongoles. I rabu seafood.
This is how much I rabu seafood. After eating 2 out of 4 starters that contained seafood, I still went to order Spaghetti Al Frutti Di Mare, which is like spaghetti with seafood and tomato sauce. It was so delicious to the extent that I finished everything~(of course I didnt eat the shells lar!) I normally dont have the habit of finishing my food but I did this time round so yup...this dish was good.
Donna ordered ravioli and I kept reading the menu as rivoli, as in Rue de Rivoli. This is what happens when one studies too much French.
Initially, Donna thought that there would be no cake but her sister surprised her with this Tiramisu cake which was delicious...and fattening I must add. Hee~
ATTACK~!
The people who turned up for the dinner.
Can I have some 'chilly' please?
Erm...'Chilly' promoter?
Say Lin and Shawn. The 3 BPGHS people who were there(including myself), did not know each other at all. Seen probably seen before but just didnt know each other because all of us were from different classes. 401, 402 and 405...I think.
The SMU group.
After the extremely fulfiling dinner, everyone started to take photos outside the arts museum. Somehow, this artpiece scares me alot. Probably because her eyes look like my goldfish's eyes...when it died.
Nngapooru?
Imjad reminds me of Sir Stamford Raffles in this picture.
If you are able to spot me in the photo, you'll notice that I look like as if my head's placed on the guillotine or something. I had like difficulties trying to place my head above the 'SAM' blocks okay! It's not exactly my fault that I'm short though. Blame my parents. :P
Dam.cool.picture. Attracted lots of weird stares from passers-by though.
Walked over to the Esplanade from the arts museum and it did NOT take 20 minutes, like what Donna's friend said. It took more than that...but it aided in digestion though. Passed by Chijmes and I really wanted to enter the maid cafe to take a look.
Had a drink at Harry's. Darshini ordered Snowball and Donna ordered Pina Colada because Timothy recommended them but...the taste was...erm...let's just say that it wasnt what they expected.
Incriminating evidence of Donna having all 5 drinks by herself :P
I ordered Cosmopolitan and it was damn sweet, but nice.
Imjad ordered Virgin Mary which tasted like a bad concoctation of tomato juice and celery...which actually is how Virgin Mary is made though. I wonder why it's so popular when it's like so yucky? Anyway, this drink sparked off a weird conversation about Virgin Mary and virgin.
When I went home and watched an old episode of SMAPxSMAP, there was this part where Nakai-san mixed celery sherbet and tomato together for Eguchi Yosuke. So coincidental~
This was Eguchi Yosuke's expression after trying it. Similar to everyone's who tried the Virgin Mary.
Imjad requested for the singer at Harry's to sing a song for Donna and he was like a really good singer~! After hearing the song, all of us dashed off to board the last train and luckily, we managed to do so. I've never taken the last train before!!! It's either I take the train before it or I miss it. Haha, so fun~ Anyway, had a really great time and thanks to Donna for inviting me :D
Happy 21st!!! You can watch R21 now~
More photos can be found in the gallery.
Photos were from my camera, Donna's camera and Jessie's camera.
