The Biggest Day Of My Life

To everyone who has made it so special,

THANK YOU

I appreciate all the sms and love you've given me.

Countdown: 3 Days

The most special day of my life.

The Start Of The Most Important Week

So, I went to Youth yesterday and had a great time. They rehearsed more on their skills and drama, and James gave a nice sharing on Missions.

not bad aye?

Was using my Sis' camera to take these photographs. It's not exactly a new camera, but definitely better than the one I always use for the last 5 years. Haha.

shen's weird

ben

Didn't really took many photos though. Will definitely take more in the weeks to come~

So, I got an off today for the Hari Raya that fell on last saturday. Nope, I didn't celebrate it. But I'm glad I spent it well with my mom.

She just left for India, for the much awaited Wilderness Trip. That's like a really cool version of field camp. I can't wait for her to tell me more about it when she gets back! Heh~

the improved changi airport~!

Do you people know that the new layout for Changi Airport is really nice? It's well done up and looks really impressive since the last time I've been there.

And that was when the youths left for the DREAM trip last year. How time flies.

the son who loves her backpack

Lolx. It's been a long time since I carried one anyway. Haha. Isn't the layout behind me just lovely?

On a more serious note.

This week is THE MOST IMPORTANT week of a special boy's life. He is about to receive the Key to Power, and it's a pity no one seems to remember how different this year's from others'.

20 October. It's not very long away. Heh~

A Simple Update

a beautiful sunset overlooking the north-east

Ah~~ I got this photo a few days back after a short nap I woke up from. I like the way the colours worked out. Looks a lot like the colours in a rainbow don't you think?

And yes, this is the view from my place. The home I boast of. Heh. Love the view from my window.

So, this afternoon I met my mom at Little India to shop for groceries for tonight's dinner. She told me of this fantastic stall that sold fresh herbs (which I needed desperately). I was really impressed with this stall! It had fresh dill, rosemary, fennel etc. A really great place to shop at, with the staff being really friendly as well!

We proceeded to Riciotti at Clarke Quay for lunch, and it was really good~

best mom in the whole wide world~

moi~

Can you believe I kept forgetting about the camera I was keeping my pocket?! I totally missed out taking the photos of the Mains we were having. Thankfully, I still managed to get the photo of the dessert!

My mom is really talented in taking food photography I tell you~! She took this photo and it blew me away~

wow~~!!!

Impressive, ain't it? I wish I could improve on my photography skills too~!! Lolx.

Alright, time to prepare for tonight's operations. Will blog again real soon with photos~!!

Shiraishi @ The Ritz-Carlton

It's 1am in the morning and here I am blogging about the fabulous dinner I just had with my family. It was amazing I tell you! We all probably have a certain standard for Japanese cuisine right?

Well, let's just put it this way. After dining at Shiraishi, that standard shot through the roof.

sarah, my precious sister

me!

I know all of you would love to see the photos of all the food we had throughout the dinner, and I'm definitely not going to disappoint all of you~

our appetizer~!

Ain't it just so pretty? I love the different shapes of all the small dishes used.

sashimi~!!

mixed vegetable in broth - boiled item

See the carrot over at the right side? That had to be the sweetest carrot I've had in years I tell you. Yummy~~

grilled cod

I just love it when fish is cooked till perfection! This delicious piece of heavenly goodness flaked at every touch of my cutlery. A joy at every mouthful!

yummy tempura~~!!!

There's flounder, sardine, and baby shrimp. These 3 different (and entirely new) tempuras were a delight when they went with radish in tempura sauce, or just salt.

delectable sushi~!!

By this time my sis was going to faint. Lolx. But that didn't stop her from finishing this whole course. Knowing her, she wouldn't have missed this for the world. Haha~

clam miso

This was really nice. The clams made the miso just stand out from any other miso soups I've ever tasted before.

brown tea in a real cute cup

Does anyone notice the man hanging on the cup? Wahahahaha~~ I think this cup is really cute. I would love to have one of these in my home. Super cool man~~

This was meant to cleanse our palate after a really strong meal. As the brown tea prepared us for the finale, we were anxious to see what they had in store for us.

the grand finale~~!!!

This was a gem after such a lovely meal. It ended the meal on a really sweet yet alluring finish. Making you think of the oceans and the breeze, this dessert ended everything on a beautiful note.

A lovely dinner, spent well with the company of family members. An evening not to be forgotten, and a night of learning. Food cooked till perfection, presented with such flair. I'm impressed with the dinner, and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking out for a fantastic meal in Japanese cuisine.
