Natsume burger

I had a Natsume Fish Burger for dinner. Why is it called a burger if there are no burger buns? That thing had like almost no carbs at all! Fish filet with lots of mayonaise and provalone cheese sandwiched between layers of lettuce..... can somebody tell me what kind of burger is that? Sounds like a salad to me. I was so so so hungry after that, and it wasn't cheap too! I think I need to pick up Japanese so I won't make a mistake the next time I order Japanese....

After dinner drinks was much better though. I just found out my friend D is a co-owner of the Loof Rooftop Bar at Odeon. I heard Fiona Xie hangs out there. We had Long Island Tea and scallops wrapped in bacon, at a discount (thanks to D!!). I put a whole scallop-in-bacon in my mouth and it was just so heavenly (well, Squaw Valley is better than Heavenly, but let's not digress)!! The little candle beside us kept blowing out because of the wind and rain (it really is rainy these days huh?), but the waiter/waitress was kind enough to light it back when we asked for it. By the way, I really need to either get a bigger brolly or work on my umbrella skills....

Thought for the day: Life is short. Go slow.

Catching up

It was a nice weekend at home. It rained so much that I probably would have stayed home even if I wasn't sick, though I'd like to have ice skated with YK and gang. Feeling much better now.

So what did I do at home? Read, read, read, icq and msn. I can't believe I chatted with so many people this weekend, and some of them I haven't seen in ages! There was YK1, YK2, CK, SH1, SH2, SY, HY, A, FL, KS, PJ, DK, SF, HP, YH (only briefly tho), M, HB, EL, GG, MY, HW, JL, KK, CC, CF, SC, S. Though I didn't exactly spend the longest time with everyone, it's great to know everyone's doing just fine in 2006! Maybe I should spend more time on wkends catching up with everyone huh?

Gabriel Garcia Marquez has a new book, which SH says is really good. I'm currently reading One Hundred Years of Solitude (also by him), which YW lent me, and it's really good, so I guess SH is probably right! I still have 3 books on the shelf waiting for me to read tho, and one more that LT is bringing back from the US, so I think it will be a while before I check out the new novel. If anyone has read it, let me know how it is k?
