New Job; New Environment

New job.. not sure if it is the right choice but definitely something that I want to do and good prospect.  The worrying issues are no process and politics.  Hope my new boss can resolve one issue for me.  Into my 3rd weeks now, I need to get use to new environment... no facebook, no gmail, no msn... it means less blogging and networking with friends.

The happy thing.. my ex-boss and ex-colleagues are connecting with me :) Love them all!

Fish Soup

After so many days of heavy foods... I finally need to go for something light.. Fish soup! I like this very much cause it come with the salted bean sauce, the fish slice is thick and lot of veg.

He wants to take leave just to join us cause he really miss me.. haha!! keep telling him never mind and we can lunch another day with him.. and I thinks he couldn't work cause at the end of the day.. he called and ask about our date. He is really my darling.. I'm very lucky to have such nice kaki..

Counting down to the next 6 happy days.. all programs lined up tightly and I thinks 6 days is not enough.. haha!!

This is our first experience to eat Japanese ala carte buffet for lunch.. we were bloated but we had the world of time to laze ;p  The foods are yummy but the company, gossip and time we had were fantastic..

Mixed sashimi - thick and fresh.. now think of it, still feel like eating

Salmon fish head - de-boned by darling Vanessa

Beef fillet - this is really tender and it melted in the mouth.. drooling :p

Cod fish with teriyaki sauce - nothing fantastic.. is just that i didn't want to order salmon cause i think cod fish more expensive.. haha! *greedy*

Gyoza & Soft shell crab

Beef slice for shabu shabu

peanut, chilli and soya sauce

Mini shabu shabu.. cause really too full to eat anymore but i want to drink the soup :)

We still had octopus, jelly fish, grilled unagi and chawamushi. I think we did very well although there were lot of wastage.. I met a friend at the restaurant and he offer to foot the bill for us.. After lunch, we went to Vivo for shopping and follow by dessert..

Looking forward to the next date with darling Vanessa on Friday... TWG!!

Dinner

Had a wonderful dinner last Friday at Hougang Zi Char... chicken, fish maw soup and sambal kang kong.. The fish maw soup is so yummy with lot of fish maw.. tasted like shark fin.. for only S$10..
