Just as i was indulging myself in my USD 2.80 can of singapore-made Pokka carrot juice - some divine being must have heard my earnest plea! - and wolfing down my USD 7.75 sushi combo for lunch, we got wind of some possible bad news from home. nope it's not the piggy flu - my eyes have been peeled for new cases in singapore, sq25 is my preferred transit home ok. nope it's not our parents (btw, my dad just had minor surgery on his left eye. he has glaucoma so his eye needed "draining". it's really scary cos as with all eye surgery, you get to watch and listen to the entire process) but someone every bit as dear to us. no confirmed prognosis yet but we're hoping for the best possible outcome - that it is caught early and treatable with the least possible pain. I sincerely believe that if Pokka carrot juice can make it to Bermuda, all things are possible and can be made right. Keeping you in our prayers.
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...
