Singapore Fireworks Festival 2008

2nd and last dae of the Singapore Fireworks Festival 2008...
todae... by the Koreans
weather was... bad...
but despite bad weather raining down... it does not dampen the Singapore spirit...
many still crowd around the Marina Bay...

went down to The Esplanade to catch a moment wif the pyrotechnics the whole Singapore is crazy abt...
rain slowly started to die down...
it's a bit sian to watch fireworks in the rain...
but it's also thanks to the rain we found a panoramic view of the bay...
rain made the floor wet...
so not many ppl will wanna wet their butts...
so we found a spot...
get a few newspaper... lay on the floor...
and there... we got seats... XD

a bit of drizzle here and there...
and 7 mins past the start of the fireworks...
heavy drizzle started falling...
Zzz...
everybody beared with the heavenly tears till the end of the fireworks b4 scurrying off into shelter...

took a video of the spectacular night event...
please enjoy... :P

Singapore Fireworks Festival 2008 (Korean Team)

Pirated Rigatoni

Went East Coast for cycling todae...
heard from WL dat The Vista Bistro @ Big Splash kitchen staff was previously from Le Papillon...
and that they replicated the rigatoni pasta recipe over there...
so we decided to go try it out...

on the menu... there's a small print that said "Signature Dish"
lol... alright...
so i ordered it...
food came...
the dish looked almost the same...
less the botarga and the shrinkage of prawns...
well... other dan the 2 not so significant differences...
it really looked like the rigatoni pasta from Le Papillon...

then i tasted it...
-_-
immediately i knew the answer...
it couldn't compare to the rigatoni pasta served in Le Papillon...
the taste is way too mild and do not have the "specialness" of LP...
the whole thing juz dun taste right...
i still think LP served the best rigatoni pasta...

Period.

Dead?

I kinda guess so...
been lazy blogging recently... XD
like nothing much to blog...
posts getting lesser and lesser...
guess i'll be blogging once in a blue moon now... :P

Predator Countdown?

Caught my eye a few daes ago...

the symbols of the Predatian language... XD
a countdown for the final explosion?
BOOM!!! and there goes the hotel...

Vacuum Lamination

They printed out the photos for the new dishes...
to be put up for Mr. G to see when he starts work...
coz he haven seen the plating of the new menu yet...

with fear dat the stewarding will destroy the photos when they are washing the kitchen...
or maybe dampen the photos...
we decided to "waterproof" it...
they are printed on A4 paper btw...
we got no laminating machine...
so how?
all we have is a vacuum packing machine...
so we used dat anyway... LOL!!!
