"Still a little bit of your taste

in my mouth...

Still a little bit of you laced

with my doubt...

Still a little hard to say what's going on...

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness

Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed

You step a little closer each day...

Still I can't SAY what's going on..."

Really a day of mixed emotions....

After last night's fiasco with my mum, lunch with my cousins today was pretty good...went to Triple 3 at Meritus Mandarin...The food was great! Mostly Continental fare like Terrines and Pasta...There was also Pilau...Roast Prime Beef Ribs and Italian fish soup...

There was great seafood too...Fresh Monkfish Carpaccio...Shrimp cocktail with Caviar and Quail's eggs...

and the leg of lamb was out of this world...the flavours in the meat were slowly coaxed out by basting it over a slow and gentle flame...An assortment of fresh herbs like Oregano, Rosemary and Mountain Thyme was used to marinate the juicy, succulent lamb...Also fabulous was the lobster...I tried the Garlic and Chinese Black-bean sauce...biting into the firm and thick white flesh was an absolutely orgasmic experience...The robust and flavourful condiments complimented the subtle taste of the lobster flesh perfectly...and imbued it with a strong and spicy finish...

To round off, we had chocolate fondue and the Peach mousse..The fondue was a tad disappointing cos there were no strawberries, kiwi or marshmellows...which I consider to be the " Holy Trinity" of chocolate fondue...just some yucksy stuff like jackfruits (honestly, jackfruit in fondue? yucks) Fuji apple, Carambola, Peaches and Guava...

We had a selection of chocolates and teas to end off everything...I'm not a chocolate aficionado...but the variety was mind-boggling...there was white and dark...coffee-infused...Jasmine tea-scented...chocolates with Hazelnuts...chocolates with macademias...chocolates with little Apricot bits inside...Chocolates smothered with Turkish Delight...Maple Leaf-shaped chocolates...

wonderful...

Karine managed to apply her accountancy skills to real life (for once)...and through the use of quite a few credit card discounts and membership privileges, she managed to shave off a significant part of the bill...You go girl!

It was great to have lunch together...let's do it more often! Oh...and i hope everyone had a GREAT time :p...i did!

On a heavier note... I can't seem to let her go...It was not easy to find her again after so many years...and now she's gone for God knows how long...Haiz...really feel very empty and lost these days...like i'm drifting through life...

just doing whatever work is expected of me and then going to drink and sleep...

I hope things will get better...

And afterall...a man like me should just find a way to overcome my problems....right?
