It was Joey's birthday yesterday. Below is the list of events that took place chronicled as well as I can remember after a state of being intoxicated by love.
First, I met Joey at Cards and Such where we bummed around for a while before she started getting inquisitive and bombarded me with her guesses on the place of dinner. I tricked her for a moment into thinking it was My Humble House. She believed.
As we made our way to the dining place, I surprised her by making a detour to Swiss-o-tel where we dined at New Asia Bar.It couldn't exactly be called dinner because we were so early at 5:30pm. We were rushing to catch the Tang Quartet's only performance for this year (their Christmas concert.)
Dinner was a 6 stick bbq of various meats. Chicken, Beef, Shrimp, Salmon and Squid. Chicken was repeated twice because I did not like lamb.We had chips too.
For the inquisitive, pondering how the photos are taken, they are taken with my outstretched left hand haha.A sweet caucasian lady walked over to us and took the camera from me to take a picture for us. When I related that to my friends, they joked that she was going to steal my camera. I reaffirmed them that it was not so for she had an even more expensive camera. She stole that too, was their witty reply. Laughter all round the table. I love my friends =)
We walked on to Esplanade Concert Hall for the Tang Quartet performance.I must admit, we did not really appreciate the pieces since the Tang Quartet is strictly classical. The tickets were a gift from Joey's friend. We spotted Tommy Koh in the audience. His hair was unwavering as usual and bore a semblance to Junichiro Koizumi.Anyways, we sneaked a shot in the concert hall!
At the intermission, I wanted to pick out a sandwich, but it looked more pathetic than those sold in NUS and cost 5 bucks a piece........ mmmm there are times to be exhorbitant and there are times not to be. This was such a time.
After the concert, we went to California Bistro.Had 2 ice lemon teas and a banana split.
Then we strolled along the river, towards the park and then towards fullerton. The Boltero sculptures dotted the landscape. Highly amusing and rather vulgar haha. The anti-oscar statuettes. Brilliant!Over at Fullerton, a couple of shots were spoilt by the harsh flash or the lack of lighting. Yes, Huiguang I know you will comment on the bad exposure haha =)
I'm ending this entry with this cheesy yet farny Arthouse shot. Yes, we were under the direction of Wong Kar Wai.
