tmr's a packed day i gotta be in sch at 11am for geog consultation and then i have math lesson at 1 pm to god knows when and then have math tuition at 430pm. i've barely touched on lit and am still pretty clueless about geog but im just thinking this is common test 2, maybe the bad results will give me a good wake up call and then i will truly start mugging-- anti-distractions. but till then i'll just be worrying and stressing about the damn cts and praying that some miracle might happen where all the exam papers suddenly got burnt by a big fire or the teachers all went on strike or sthing. or the best dream in my life: A levels are abolished, universities all close down and everyone just lives happily where women just cook, sew and become desperate housewives and have hot gardeners.
today's father's day and my sis dad and i (mom's not in sg) went to
the turquoise room at depot road (near villa bali) to have our second father's day dinner and it was really a good experience.
despite being father's day and a sunday, only 2 other tables were occupied not including ours but this certainly did not dampen my expectations of the meal because i just loved the deco even though the floor looked a little shabby, imagine cement with scratches haha. i guess it was because of the secluded and unfamiliar location. the menu had quite a variety ranging from salads to pastas to pizzas and main entrees. my dad ordered the red snapper fillet which came served on a bed of fresh crisp veggies and it was great. the fish was extremely fresh, no fishy taste and wasnt too oily, like the grilled fishes in other restaurants. instead of the usual garlic butter sauce which usually makes the fish too oily, it was delicately topped off with olive paste which hit the spot. i had the seafood and asparagus pasta with garlic cream sauce. although the linguine was a little too hard for my liking the creamy sauce and seafood (prawn and scallop) made up for it. the texture of the asparagus wasnt too soft nor hard. my sis had the crab meat pasta and even though they werent too generous with the crab meat, the tomato sauce had hints of garlic, chives and white wine. her linguine was perfect and wasnt a lil hard like mine. oh yes we also had the bread and dip platter which was very very good and my dad had mushroom soup as well. it was a little bitter from the mushrooms but that was what i liked about it because there was not the slightest hint of campbell mushroom or processed ones.
the service was excellent (maybe because there were only 3 tables occupied) and to top it all off we had a glass of white wine (sauvignon blanc) and it was sweet and just nice. overall the bill came up to about 90 dollars cos we had a 10% discount and i think it was pretty reasonable. so yes my dear friends be nice to me and i will bring you guys there. hee hee. 2 must trys for the next visit would be the smoked duck salad, which you have to wait a full 20 mins for while the duck is getting smoked from scratch, and the lamb shack.
okay cheers to a whole week of mugging, getting distracted and pure frustration. (:
