RP was in Singapore for a stopover visit before his chillaxing (RP's vocab) Tokyo vacation commence...

Couldnt meet up on Friday when he arrived as the Funtastic-5 (now 6) was having our periodic dinner

On the menu:

• Honey Soy Red Wine Grilled Chicken Drumstick with herbs
• Cous Cous
• Bed of Greens
• Fried Japanese Udon
• Pork Stew

(okie..supposed to be Beef Goulash, but i couldnt' get Beef)

Nice. haha. Everyone had a hearty dinner and i think i did pretty well on the herbal chicken haha.

Finally met up with RP for dinner on Saturday. Where else buy my favourite restuarant - My Secret Garden

Pick RP up at Holland V and we headed to MYSG as i had reserved the place for 7.30pm's dinner. Ronnie was there and of coz i will be sure that he will have my dinner arranged the way i liked it to be. hehehe. Great.

And of coz without second opinion, i had my Mushroom Soup, Cod Fish (guys you have to try it!!), Rose Wine - my usual dinner line up at MYSG. RP had mushroom soup, salmon steak and the faithful Corona.

It was surprisingly a great night of catching up. We had endless conversations and we just had so much to share. Initially, i was juz a lil worried about how dinner will be as i havent seen RP since last Oct when he went back to Melbourne. But everything was great, the food, the ambience (of coz...no doubt! ) and the company. Maybe we are kinda alike in someways coz we share the same birthday!! haa! Yeah....you heard right...we are both born on the same day, same month. Cool isnt it?

After dinner, we went to Carlton's Lounge for a drink. Carlton didnt change much. Hmm...it was like 8 years since i worked there for a short stint before uni.

As I insisted on taking the tab for the dinner @ MYSG for my guest from down under, RP said he would like to take me out for dinner....Sounds good to me. So we met up at Michaeangelo for dinner on Monday.

Ahh...i see. I realised RP's unc, Angelo owns the place, along with the cooking school Ariston, Original Sin and Sistina.

Serving Italian food (of coz...Angelo's an Italian born in Australia), Michaelangelo's ambience is wonderful. We sat outside, under the clear sky enjoying our wine, bruchettas (my fav!!) and then pasta.

Risking a few mossie bites, i had an enjoyable dinner. Couldnt finish the food tho, coz my tummy isnt feeling at its best. THe wait staff at Michaelangelo were great too, looking after us in detail. haha.

In the middle of the conversation, a thought...or rather, a question came to my mind.

People who shares the same birthday, do they think alike?

Coz it seems, ESP happens ... haha. RP asked what kinda jam i am...if i were to describe myself. He was guessing too. In my head i was thinking..hmmm..maybe im a cranberry. Okie, we know that we have diff kinda jams, marmalades etc...sooo many to choose from.

Maybe im a cranberry.

RP answered "I think you are a cranberry"

Wow.........amazing, how could this answer be alike since i only made a decision moments ago.

ESP.

That's not the only instance that happened.

We were ordering desserts and the wait staff suggested we have Tiramisu as they are freshly made every day. RP was deciding to get that......but in my heart i was like..hmm....i would love to have Creme Brulee tho...

And split second after i had this thought, RP told the wait staff that we could perhaps change the Tiramisu to Creme Brulee. He asked me if its okie. I was a lil slow on response coz i was juz thinking about CREME BRULEE...............

ESP.

We took a stroll after dinner coz we were so stuffed up even though we didnt finish our pasta.... The portion was juz too much.

We then stop at Unc Angelo's house ..juz steps away from the restuarant in fact, where RP is putting up in Singapore. He said he had something for me.... I waited and.....it was a stalk of rose. wow...it has been some time since i received a rose...

He said it was a gesture of thanks....for having dinner with him. That's sweet. hee.

Ohh...i must not forget..yeah..since i am a dog lover. haaa. Unc Angelo has this dog..not too sure what breed. But could be a mongrel. Hooch is such a sweet dude! haaa Friendly, handsome and charming, i think he'll make a perfect dating partner for Princess Summer P. hahaha......
