Friday Night...

Yesterday was a rather interesting one for me... I finished my last night shift on Friday morning, and went to Glenny to get some pee mats for Remy. Went home to get some rest after that, as I was heading to the city for dinner with Candice and Simon before they head off to their Europe adventure!!!


Candice suggested dinner at Sarti's. I have not been there before, but I must admit that it was indeed a good suggestion. The menu's kinda modern italian / fusion, with some pretty interesting dishes. The head chef is apparently quite an avid hunter - which is why we get rabbits, pigeons and suckling lambs etc. on the menu. 


Yes, I was adventurous enough to try the rabbit loin. I had to ask the waiter like, three times.... "Are you sure it's okay? You sure it doesn't have a strong taste to it??" 

And Jon had the suckling lamb which was superbly tender and juicy... YUM.... Candice had some rabbit cuscini pasta, and Simon just stuck to the normal seafood marinara. Hehehe. Oh well, someone had to be the normal one for the night :)

Candice and Simon shared a dessert - the Jaffa. 

Small talks over dinner and dessert led to a rather serious one, about the new Labor budget, and FBT, baby bonuses etc. Sighhh... Clearly, doctors are overworked, and underpaid... and it's not getting any better. We decided that we should just stop working, and start making babies now, so we're below the 150K threshold, to get our baby bonus! Hahahaha.... only kidding! 


She's everything: An ex-classmate, to a colleague, to a dog-walking neighbour, to an excellent friend! Have a greaattt time touring Europe, babe! Will miss you. Shall catch up when you get back, ya?


Jon and I shared some pastry dessert. Its fancy name - I can't quite remember... hehehe... Basically, it's a pastry dessert, with fig and chocolate filling, topped with a scoop of zesty lemony chocolate gelati! YUMMOOOOO... That scoop of ice cream has to be one of the best I've
tasted! Better than Il Dolce Freddo,  I have to say!


One of Candice and Simon...



After all the rich stuff filling up our stomach, we decided to adjourn to have something to wash down the fats, and burn some calories... so we decided to take a stroll down Collin's Street, and made a stop at Brunetti's for some tea, and more chatting... 

We decided to call it a night, and headed home about 10ish. Sigh, are we getting old or what?!!

Oh btw, looking at the pics of my hair really makes me irk. I was thinking of coloring my hair black, and cutting it short ala Victoria Beckham... What do you think?? Too drastically adventurous?! I quite like it...



I think I'd prefer the first one. Not too short, but still edgy :)

I think U shud go for it, Mei Ling!:)

I really like it myself but Alvin stopped me from doing anything drastic with my hair,as our Big day's in 6months time.. but I reckon U shud give it a shot, it's really nice!:) And I agree the 1st photo's better... Ur hair's naturally straight & soft so it shud be easy enuff to manage. TRY it :)
