Met up with Chun Cheng & his friends on Friday night after work.. We went for dinner at The Asian Kitchen in ION Orchard. The place is so crowded. I guess the whole Orchard Road crowd is at ION Orchard. The service at The Asian Kitchen, was not as good as we wish it was. There were some hiccups during dinner. First was the fried tofu that looked darker than in the photo on the menu. Chun Cheng then asked the waitress, how come it's dark one. She immediately offered to change it. That was really good service. Then the supervisor came and asked if we want to cancel the order instead, as the oil in the kitchen is already so 'dark'. So, new tofu also will be fried so 'darkly'. Hmmm .. not that healthy isn't it? But we say, it was ok, to serve us that plate of tofu again. It tasted ok though, except that the cubes were cut too smallishly.... not much tofu taste left, except feel very crispy.
Then when we almost finish our dinner, we realised that one of the dishes has not been served yet. So, we decided to ask them to cancel the last dist that's the Xiao Bai Cai. But after we've asked the waitress to cancel the order.... another waiter came and serve use the Xiao Bai Cai after 5 minutes. We insisted that we had cancel the dish and he didn't know what to do. Then another waitress came, and we told her, we had cancelled the dish. She's the super fast one, said.. it's ok. And took back the dish. Later we saw that dish was being served to another table. Hahaha..
After that we went to walk around ION Orchard, and look see the whole place. Everywhere is crowded with people. Then, they say they are going to meet their friend Edwin, and I also joined in.
We then headed to Alley Bar for a drink. Long time didn't go there. Haha... After our drinks about 2am plus... we were ready to go home. Then we see Edwin dosing off. So... we decided to walk off quietly and took the following pictures. We then had the waiter at the bar to wake him up and told him "Your friends has left". Wakakakaka...
In observing July's holidays and celebrations, I noticed that this month is sometimes referred to 'National Unlucky Month to Get Married.' Yikes! What's a July bride and groom to do? According to the ancient principles of Feng Shui, there are five earthly elements that themselves represent a union and perfect harmony. To guarantee that your nuptials proceed 'happily ever after,' the happy couple should be sure to include a symbol of each one of these elements on the invitation list. Here's a small sampling and some examples: Tree or wood symbols such as plants, paper, flowers or anything green give life to the wedding party. Fire symbols such as candles, sconces or something red bring passion and a sensual sizzle to the affair. Earth or soil symbols like stones, sand, pebbles or anything brown bring a sense of security without having to get your guard up. Metal symbols like candlesticks, utensils or white items will leave everyone feeling strong like bull, although this is no bull. Lastly, water symbols such as streams or fountains, vases with water in them or anything black brings a lasting sense of serenity and flow; a must for any newlywed couple. I don't know whether or not you believe any of these ancient advisos, but I know that they really work. I promise. I DO!
