Cuisine Française Moderne
State of Being : Gastronomical Delights! 
Thanks to my boss who was in town recently, we were treated to a sumptuous modern French cuisine lunch at Gunther's by one of our vendors yesterday.
Located along Purvis Street, my colleagues and I have probably walked past this french restaurant many times, without the slightest idea that it has actually won many accolades:-
- Singapore Tatler BEST NEW RESTAURANT 2007, BEST SERVICE 2007
- The Sunday Lifestyle BEST FOOD OF 2007 (Fine Dining)
- Wine & Dine Singapore’s Top Restaurants 2008 BEST NEW RESTAURANT
Seated in a private dining area with minimalist deco, our taste buds were titillated by the finest creation made by this 34 year-old Belgium chef. Despite the fact that we only had 5 courses each, including dessert, we could tell that the chef has put alot of effort into the food as the presentation is simply exquisite.
Even though I cannot recall any of the fanciful names of the dishes that were served that day, my personal favourite would have to be the starter dish (pictured above). Served cold somewhat like Japanese cold noodle, the light seasoning coupled with the caviar simply makes this dish a heavenly delight! Be sure to check out the place if you are into modern French dining.
p.s. we even had the honour of meeting the young Belgium chef in person!

Sex And The City
Attended the premier gala of Sex And The City, the most anticipation film adaptation of the HBO series, yesterday at Vivo City. It's been 4 years since the series ended but the women of the hit series are still not much wiser when it comes to love, despite being older.Diehard fans would probably remember that the series ended with a bang 4 years back with sex columnist Carrie's happy ending with Mr Big; career-minded lawyer Miranda's move to the surburbs with bartender Steve; purist taitai Charlotte's adoption of a Chinese girl with hubby baldy Harry; and the sex-crazed publicist Samantha's relationship with a sexy model 20s-something Smith.

Useful Tip
State of Being : Tip of the day
How do you ensure that you will get a seat (99.9%) on the north-east line between the journey from Dhoby Ghaut to Punggol?
Look out for the ones, who has a seat already, and will most likely alight at the stations Little India (NE7) or Farrer Park (NE8). It's a no-brainer who are these people and how to spot them!
You're probably NOT BRIGHT *hint hint* if you are still scratching your heads... :P

State of Being : British Music Rocks!
Mercy - Duffy
Album: Rockferry; Genre: Pop/Soul
At first listen, you may think that "Mercy" is the latest single by Amy Winehouse - the British sensation that swept 4 awards at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Truth is "Mercy" is in fact the second single taken off from the new Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy's debut studio album "Rockyferry". According to Duffy the song is autobiographical and is about "sexual liberty" and "not doing something somebody else wants you to do".
First released on March 3, 2008 by A&M Records, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at #1 solely on download sales. To-date. the single has performed fairly well in the US, jumping to #27 on its fourth week on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
On repeated listening, this single is simply awesome!! Not only is the song catchy and has a great beat, Duffy's voice sounds so bluesy and old-time, somewhat with a 50 or 60s feel to it. The retro-soul style is given further significance by the appearance of several Northern Soul dancers in the song's music video. Be sure to check out the video.
So while Amy Winehouse is wasting her life away in rehabilitation, watch out for the newest British music import by Duffy, who will probably be nominated for next year's Grammy Awards!!!
Big Watches Are IN!
Guess I'll just have to control my spending now... even more so with the coming 21 days Europe trip next month! *Yikes*

Feels Like 7 Again!!!
Just finished fixing two toy robots meant as presents for my nephew's birthday. Almost felt like a small boy again while fixing the pieces together.
Thought the robots come prefixed inside the boxes but turned out that they are airfix kits instead. Since the father of the child i.e. my elder bro has no patience with fixing airfix models and my nephew is too lazy to fix them himself, this uncle had to take over the 'dirty' job in the end.
But honestly speaking, I've always like putting things together. Needless to say, I used to enjoy playing with Lego building blocks when I was young. Pity that the children are so pre-occupied with computer games these days. Sad to say, both my nephews are no exception... *sigh*
