Happy birthday to my Polytechnic classmate, Justin Teng.
I jumped out of the bed in the morning when i heard my alarm. The alarm must be ringing for quite sometime. I was running late and i rushed out of my house in only 10 minutes. What a coincidence, i met Leslie and Ling Han on the bus to the place.
Today is a special day for a very good friend of mine, Ren Feng. He is getting married! Come to think about it, i've known him around 10 years. Because he is older and more mature than us, he is like a big "brother" to us during Secondary school.
The Solemnisation ceremony took about 20 minutes. I feel happy for him, finding the special someone to accompany him for the rest of his life.

Headed to Watami at ION Orchard for a Belated Birthday Celebration for TTS. I first came across this restaurant in Central at Clarke Quay recently. Watami is more of a casual Japanese restaurant. Among all the restaurants in ION, it has the longest queue and is always packed. Can't be that bad right?
Anyway attendence are getting dissapointing with only five people attending today. My friends and i were struggling to decide what to order due to the lack of variety of food. Looking at the menu, all the prices are pretty reasonable costing around $10 for every dish. I had the Chicken cutlet which was being served on a sizzling hotplate over the stove. I must say it is pretty good. The chicken cutlet isn't greasy and the sauce isn't salty. However heard from my friend that his Ramen isn't really good. Next came our Salmon Sashimi, pretty firm and has a good texture to it, nice.
Came to a Conclusion: Watami has decent food, decent pricing, good service and good ambience. What more can a typical Singaporean like me ask for.
After our dinner at Watami, we rush our way to Butter Factory at One Fullerton to begin Part 2 of the celebration.

Went for my colleague wedding last night over at Grand Shanghai in King's Centre. Co-incidentally i had another wedding dinner (distant relative) over at Traders Hotel, but decided on going to this one, because the other wedding was attended by the rest of my family. Stepping into Grand Shanghai is indeed like stepping into old Shanghai, Shanghai Tan. The ambience is really great over here with red decorations and dim lightings enhancing the experience. Coupled with the Cheongsam singer who was singing at the Grandstage with an old school retro band. Perfect.
Going on to the food. It was generally the typical wedding dinner dishes, starting with coldplate, sharkfin to the desserts. The dishes was divided into portions first before being served to the guests. We were lucky that our table is half filled, with everyone ending up with two portions for every dishes served.
I must say the standard of the dinner was not really good. I am not a sharkfin person, but you could only find bits of sharkfin and the soup itself is basically made up of starch. Then came the scallop in yam, the Yam smells so funny, it smells like hair dye. The smell is so strong that most of all did not ate it. Bleah.
The only dish that was good was the Cold plate with their specialty crispy eels. Sadly, their other specialty, the Sauteed river shrimp with salted egg yoke is pretty average.
But anyway,
Congratulations on getting Hitched, Dean!
