Quality Check

Stage 1.

Went for a recent check and Dr. Heng say it look pretty well and although there’s a small growth but it should be alright.  So I am ready but the problem now lies on the source – only 25% functional.

How now?

Looks like I won’t be able to launch Product X so soon. Dr. Heng also advised that if nothing happens in 6 months,  what’s next will be to get professional help immediately. Don’t waste any more time. But this isn’t a case of time – it is a case of mental preparation, financial preparation and physical preparation, no?

Hate Me

I know, by saying this, you will hate me. My free ticket to LA is confirmed and I’m travelling in exactly 18 days. After that, when I return, I should be preparing to leave for Beijing in a couple of days.

So go ahead and hate me. *grins*

$280.00

Yes, that’s right. It’s Two Hundred and Eighty Singapore Dollars, per head. Drinks and taxes not yet included.

Most importantly, who footed the bill? Definitely not me. Lol~ I am pretty sure that this must’ve been the most expensive meal KK has ever paid but that’s our 3rd year anniversary dinner so it’s acceptable lah.

Now, the extravagant meal is offered at Goto Japanese Restaurant located at 14 Ann Siang Road and they serve kaiseki ryōri (懐石料理) – traditional multi-course Japanese cuisine. There’s really not many words I can find to describe the experience because I have a small brain and a limited vocabulary. The pictures will speak for itself (not well taken though so that gives me another reason to visit again, right!).

If you’re willing to bear with that much of money (per head should be about $320 nett with a drink before the meal) to pay for such a lavish meal, just do not doubt that you will regret or feel the heartache. I can assure you that at the end of the meal (and even many days after that), all you have in your mind and all that you will remember is  the specific taste of each dish.

Really! That’s how amazing the cuisine is…Can I go again please? Please please.

Rejoice!

Rejoice! Divina is back! 3 cheers for her return – Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!  But seems like Micky is still hostile towards her…he’s already forgotten her so fast?
