Bristol Day 25

TGIF!! I now look forward to the weekends because work has been hectic and in less than 25 days I will be home. Finally.

Last night I had fun with my colleagues and had a lot to drink. Had some drink called Winter Warmer, a dark ale which was rather high in alcohol content. These ang-mos sure can drink a lot. I really wonder if their liver is harder by the day because this afternoon, the same group of guys asked me to join them for drinks at mid-day.

I turned them down because I had a team lunch. A colleague from the team is going on maternity leave next week and today is her last day. One year of maternity leave. That's a long time isn't it? Can't wait for Sandy to go on maternity leave too. Exciting.

Carol and Queenie are visiting Singapore this weekend and it is a pity I aren't there to keep them entertained but maybe they'll enjoy it better without me. :) Amy Leung and Sam will also head to Singapore on Saturday from Bintan. The Hong Kongers sure know how to enjoy life.

It is Friday night and I am back in the apartment early.It is only 950pm. No casino tonight because this weekend, I am sure I will spend some time there as I am not joining Angela to Swindon. Same for Sunday as I won't join her to Stone Henge. Just dislike the traveling and I can get more time to Skype.

I will be meeting Pang for breakfast tomorrow. He is the top chef from Masa and he has offered to take me out for breakfast. Wonder what's for breakfast? After meeting up with him, I might take a trip to Hippodrome to catch a musical - Cabaret. Hopefully there are still tickets for the matinee. If not I will have to spend the rest of the time shopping and getting stuff for friends and family and afterwhich do my favourite - look for food.

I want to try Beefeater but that is perhaps best after work since it is only next to my office building. So let's see what I can find tomorrow and I'll update you again. :)

I miss steamboat ...! Yet Con!! Farrer Park Prawn Noodles !!! Ion's Beef Noodles !!!!

But I have not much choices but to make do with the resources I have here.

Lunch today was Lasagne at Italian restaurant La Grotta. The other photo you see that has lots of mushroom is a Funghi Bruschetta that my colleague ordered. Looks nice ya? Dinner was half a roast duck, sweet sour pork and a plate of whatever veggie is that from a popular Chinese restaurant, Mayflower.

The Chinese meal was fantastic but again, ducks are overly oily but surely a taste of traditional Cantonese cooking. Loved it and might go back again to try other dishes but then again, I should try to explore other eateries right? I have another 20 odd days to do so, may as well enjoy it right?

Oh. And the plate of fried noodles you see is a Singapore Fried Noodles. Do we have that in Singapore? It was served at yesterday's lunch with Alvin, another Chinese director. We shared some dim sum too at Shanghai Nights. Yes. Same place again.

And do you see the pui kia at the pool table? That's Scott, my colleague and he plays pretty good pool. He kicked my ass and won me three games in a row. Sigh. The ball size was just different. Really. He promised he'll play with me again next week and Chris Davies will join in too. I'll show him my might then. :)

Have a great weekend!!
