Marriot Cafe at Tangs - High Tea Buffet Review

I took a half day off to have high tea buffet with PL. It's one of the rare times we actually went for a buffet since we don't eat much. I am going to gush about it and say that it's awesome! The food was just slightly average but the service is so good! I never expected the service to be so good since we were paying the promo prices but they are so attentive towards our needs! Kudos to them for a job well done. The buffet consists of oysters, cold prawns, rojak, crepes, mee goreng, ba ku teh, clear chicken soup, bread, salads, smoked salmon, ice-creams, cakes and other small desserts as well as some Asian dishes. First, there was a short queue at the front counter as everyone waited to be seated at 3pm. Then, we were being led to our seats, with the waiters asking for our drink orders. They were quick to fill up our drinks when they noticed that it was half empty. For the food, they were quick to clear our empty plates too, without being intrusive. I will strongl

Movie review: Antman

I went into the movie hall expecting nothing. I only knew that it was a Marvel character and PL was gushing all about it. The movie was quite awesome. Notice the "quite"as I was a little bored in the middle of the movie where it got a little draggy and monotonous. There are a fair bit of action scenes but not so overwhelming. I think it's a nice touch of comedy and action in it, of course with the usual bit of hollywood romance. Overall, the effects are quite good. They managed to make a good plot out of it where the good defeats the bad. The comedic moments made the show a joy to watch but watch out for a lot of those references that leave you hanging, especially if you are like me, who is not very into American stuff. I would recommend it if you are a marvel fan or you have a bit of spare time. It's quite a good stress reliever. ;)

Love and rejection

The picture that states 'Everyone says love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuse these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.' But think about it. It's because of the existence of love that people will get lonely,  get rejected. If you do not know love, then there is no way to compare and contrast, because you will never know something if you have no experience of. Isn't it? I feel that people think that love is great because love have been too romanticised by the various media. You see it everywhere; movies, dramas, books etc. But these all have the mainstream definition of love. People define love differently, and I don't think that you can just classify love into one category and dump all the examples together. I know I'm adopting the socratic method here but I feel irritated when people make s

Recent reads! The Oathbreaker's shadow by Amy McColloch and Prince of Shadows by Rachel Caine

1. The Oathbreaker's shadow by Amy McColloch F ifteen-year-old Raim lives in a world where you tie a knot for every promise that you make. Break that promise and you are scarred for life, and cast out into the desert. Raim has worn a simple knot around his wrist for as long as he can remember. No one knows where it came from, and which promise of his it symbolises, but he barely thinks about it at all—not since becoming the most promising young fighter ever to train for the elite Yun guard. But on the most important day of his life, when he binds his life to his best friend (and future king) Khareh, the string bursts into flames and sears a dark mark into his skin. Scarred now as an oath-breaker, Raim has two options: run, or be killed. I love the way the world unfolds as you read the book. I know I'm a suck for alternate world universe. I wish there is more of a history behind the story, like the Hunger Games series, because there were lots of description at the first part

Updates on life in general

I got my Hailun HL125 piano in black! It's now sitting in my living room. It's brand new and I paid 3.6k for it (excluding the extra $40 for moving up the piano) with 10 years of warranty and 3 free tunings. Super thanks to Jiahao who drove me down and accompany to choose the piano. We also saw a used one at the Pianomaster but it was 2.8k with only 1 year warranty and 1 free tuning. I felt that the new Hailun is a better deal. The touch of the new piano is slightly heavier than the display set in Piano master. And it has a new smell that permeated my living room for the past few days. I have started on 2/3 of the first piece and maybe 1/8 of the second piece? And I'm feeling the split brain syndromes. U know how sometimes you get inspired to do something? This is one of those times. Ahh... Jiayou!
