after a week of wallowing in self-pity, i've finally gotten off my arse this morning and took a nice long walk around the neighbourhood. trying to smell the flowers i guess. there was this private garden that was open to the public today and i walked in out of curiosity. nicely manicured lawn with a beautiful moon-gate filled with creepers. there was a little sign that read something like "you are closest to God when you walk in a garden". 'true' i thought to myself, cos who could have created such beautiful things right?
last night we had a most scrumptious bbq dinner at the original swizzle inn . much much much better than the dinner we had some days back with O and K at the branch in warwick. woo.... i had the char-grilled prime rib and the much famed rum swizzle, while hao-e had the margarita shrimp and strawberry daiquiri. blogging about it brings back nice memories. heh. Oh! C and i found some fresh watercress at the marketplace yesterday. so today's lunch we had watercress soup. i've been yearning for some light clear vegetable soup for some time... especially after a discussion with HL about the lack of vege variety here, and how she spotted kailan on the island! KAILAN !!! how did they manage to get their hands on kailan ?! i was joking with HL that one of the chefs must have secretly brought over some seeds and planted some in his back garden. or else why doesn't kailan appear in the vege aisle of the marketplace as well?! oh, and i bought some canned longan, jackfrui...
