It's been a week since I've posted and to tell you the absolute truth and nothing but the truth, I could go for another week easily. Its not that I have nothing to say, its just that I have TOO MUCH to say so where do I start? Maybe we should just play catch up.
I've been in Singapore since last Sunday and my weekdays since then have been filled to the brim with taxing work. I feel its improper to write about work so that leaves that topic out. I have Beloved Son with me but since I'm in meetings from 8am till the early evening I haven't had the chance to see him outside the hotel room and I'm usually knackered by that time (and so is he...from shopping all day). Azim has since left and even though I hardly saw him during the days, it was nice to have another soul in the hotel room at nights.
The hotel I was in from Sunday till Friday morning was non-descript. Save for the fact it has an OSIM massage chair and this was its only saving grace.
On Tuesday I managed one evening out for dinner with my lovely friend Marilyn who brought me to have some Japanese at Hachi Restaurant where we chatted the girlie talk and I ate Puffer Fish for the first time.
On Friday I moved out from a dingy hotel into a much nicer one that is The Fullerton because Beloved Husband flew in for the weekend to save me. Marilyn and her handsome husband Saik picked me up at the hotel and we went to Robertson Walk to have dinner at a lovely little restaurant called Sage. Bobby was to meet us there with his luggage straight from the airport and suffice to say the moment I saw him, being in Singapore felt a million times better. We monged, we ate, we saw SP and we had a walkabout the shops.
I have some (but not all) pictures of my week.
At The Shangri La for work during the weekdays and although time is spent holed up at its Lily Meeting Room, we lunch by its poolside whilst discussing more work and wishing we were one those less clothed people lounging by the pool.
The Fullerton for the weekend.
Delicious soft as butter pan-seared Foie Gras on the left and extremely yummy Peanut Butter Ice Cream on the right at Sage, The Restaurant.
The Devilled Moules & Frites (Mussels & Fries) at Emmanuel Stroobant's Belgian Restaurant aptly called Brussels Sprouts is now one of my favourite food.
Awesome dramatic dessert with dry ice at Jade Restaurant at The Fullerton.
The newly renovated Royal Plaza On Scotts will be home for the next five days.
Bobby left this evening on BI430. And now I am despondent again.
Mamalobs, lest you forget, I am the Serial Mamalobengs Stalker.
