Aren't Sundays supposed to be spent with family but my dinner was all alone in a posh restaurant so you must wonder why am I complaining? It is different. Even if I was fed dragon meat, I won't enjoy it because family aren't here with me.
Spent 7 hours in the casino and I need not have to lose any money until the rain came pouring down while I was about to walk out of the building. Damn. I walked right back into the lion's den. You can't blame me. I was bloody bored and I likely spent the whole afternoon in the casino and had a playing time of only 30 minutes max before the rain started. I enjoyed walking around and seeing people play but then things changed when the rain came. I just had nothing to do thus I changed 50 pounds and lost them all.
Eventually, I had to walk in the rain anyway because this rain didn't stop even after my dinner at San Carlos.
Sunday started late today as I slept in till about 8 odd before going on Skype with family. Headed out for Sunday roast after that at Aqua, some Italian Ristorante which served very good roast in a fine dining setting. Well, I couldn't find one with the typical English pub setting thus settled for Aqua.
The food was pretty good and again the portion was huge. Look at the side dish. Cauliflower in cheese in one big bowl and brussel sprouts and carrot in another big bowl. Finished everything else except the two side dishes. Tasted a little cauliflower and didn't like it as it was really filling with the melted cheese. Imagine carbonara with lots of cheese.
Dinner was interesting. I ordered a four course meal which consisted of a bean soup with bread cubes, a big bowl of mussels in white wine and carbonara sauce, Italian dumplings called Ravioli filled with scallop, prawns and cheese. Last was a three scoop sorbet. Well, I enjoyed everything except the 'wanton'. The skin was too thick and I immediately associated it with Xiao Long Bao. But everything else was perfect. The staff were friendly, the ambience was good and the toilet was clean. :) Walked out paying quite a hefty sum of 50 pounds.
I rather me being in Singapore and spending SGD3.50 for a prawn noodles. Grass again is always greener on the other side.
Practically did nothing today. No shopping all day except for table hopping at the casino, watching people have their ups and their downs. Caught the Everton-Liverpool game and also caught the Arsenal-Chelsea game. Yahoo. 3 goals and 3 more points for Chelsea. Geoffrey must be feeling upset with how Arsenal played. Never mind the match. Doesn't matter to me even if Chelsea lost because I won't benefit from the loyalty and wins anyway.
It is a new week again and just can't wait for Friday to come. Haha. Sad isn't it especially when Monday hasn't even started yet. The faster the week passes, the faster my arrival at Changi Airport.
Preparing to go to bed in half an hour at 10pm. It will be an early day for me as I need to head into the office to make calls to the Singapore office. Hope to end work early too if possible but let's see what happens.
