Friday (11 November 2005)

met Kerry for dinner at Aquadisiac... it was to be his promotion treat... actually we had wanted to come to Aquadisiac (formerly Nude) for a while... when i had my promotion, my treat was to be here... however, it was under renovation then... Kerry's treat was supposed to be earlier with Sarah and me... but Sarah had some family issues at home and couldn't meet us... and the dinner was postponed until tonight...

the ambience at Aquadisiac was superb, except for the "boom boom boom" coming from the Nude Bat next door... it wasn't exactly sound proof cos there were only glass separating the two...

had a hard time ordering my drinks and food... eventually decided on Cosmopolitan (so Sex & The City)... as for food, couldn't decide... too many choices... after about 15 minutes, i finally wanted the spring chicken... however, the waiter, Kelvin (who is 19-year old Malaysian from Mua, lives in Hougang and moving to Ang Mo Kio soon, attached with a Singapore girlfriend and plays War Of Warcraft) discouraged me from ordering it... he recommended the sea bass instead... took his advice, with a disclaimer that if the sea bass is not good, i shall write a complaint letter to the Management... Kelvin guaranteed the fish to be simply sedap...

well, his recommendation was indeed simply sedap... the sea bass was nicely cooked and the sauce was delicious... Kerry has the duck in green curry... we both shared the Vietnamese spring rolls for appetiser...

Kerry insisted that we had wine... red wine to go with the duck meat... as i don't fancy white wine, i also had red wine to go with my fish... hehe...

on and off, Kelvin stopped by to chat with us... if not how did we know so much about him... when he said he was 19, i simply couldn't believe it... until he showed us his ID... OMG... born in 1986... scary sia...

after dinner, it was time to order dessert... i had the coconut sorbet (which came in a real coconut) as recommended by Kelvin (again) while Kerry had some dragonfruit thingy (which came in a dragonfruit!)... both of us were quite amused by the dry ice effect that came with the dessert...

we left Aquadisiac at around 11:15pm... took a slow walk to Borders before arriving at Lido for a midnight show, The Exorcism Of Emily Rose (EER)... along the way, we were "admiring" the Christmas lighting... nothing spectacular...

we were early and decided to have Starbucks coffee, before going into the cinema...

EER was indeed scary! it was a courtroom drama, with flashbacks on how ER was possessed and the exorcism itself... there was a significance about 3am, a time when demonic activities take place...

the show ended at 2:15am... took a cab, reached home, showered and slept before 3am... "chicken" little eh?

woke up at 8am on Saturday morning... showered, had breakfast and went to Toa Payoh SAFRA gym for my IPPT... miraculously, i passed... so relieved...
