carnivale.



friday night was spent in the company of Em & friends at The Dining Room, Raffles Town Club. it wasn't an official send-off for her, and farewell certainly wasn't on my mind. rather, the thought of spending some quality time was all that mattered. the food was great, and the bill, well, greater literally. I could buy a cow and its siblings with 430 dollars.

highlights of the meal were escargot, foie gras, avocado cream, crêpes in various wines and yes, mango soufflé. notice that all of those are dessert or side dishes. I didn't quite like my main course, whole chicken, though marinated with wine, chicken reminds me very simply of the infamous cookhouse menu. Mel's codfish was a treat. the salad greens really helped in assuring me that I'm not on my way to be a full-fledged carnivore.

and now for the pictures.







well, yeah, I guess I do look tired in those pictures. and tiring it has been indeed, running along the gamut of emotions. as I was eating, I recalled how the 16th of June would mean 21 years and 1 month. no wait, it means more than the time. it means the world to me, because of what it encompasses.

I'm waiting.
