Good Food weekend

Friday night we went for dinner to a Malaysian joint called "Banana leaf". It was the first time I was going to eat Malaysian, so you can imagine my excitement, especially since we are talking food! This place is very popular and the crowd waiting for a table proved it, ambience - dim lit with good art work on the walls can be unnoticable since its nosiy in there! Prathas as starters and Pad thai noodles were too good! Chocolate mousse was amazing as ever , though i did try the fried banana with icecream which was pretty cool.

Saturday morning I equipped myself with a driving permit after giving in a written test.So all I now need is good confidence on the roads here before i take an appointment for driving test.Anyways, that evening after a lot of cleaning, laundry and sleep, we decided to go for dinner n watch a movie.So this time dinner is Italian at DiCicco's- romantic place that believed in Retro music and native italian dishes. We had Bruschetta to start with and based on my hubby's suggestion I tried Eggplant parmasan with marinara sauce with pasta and it was soooooo good!So after that stuffing, we went for a movie at AMC - watched 1408 based on Stephen King's writing - thriller based movie starrting John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson.

Sunday morning was late but we were invited to lunch at a friend's place - tasteful homemade Indian lunch. Evening we had some guests over like a Pot luck -we made snacks and so did thy, hence ended up having an early dinner!

Whoa! I am stuffed after a weekend...i feel I have already eaten for 2 extra days!!!
I cant recollect having so much of good food in a single weekend....

Uniquely Singapore -Day 9

The first destination for the day was Haw Par Villa.The garden made by Aw Boon Haw for his brother Aw Boon Par is worth a visit ,if you ask me.The garden is Haw's effort to communicate to the world about Chinese culture.Orginally, Burmese the family moved to Singapore where Haw's famous Tiger Balm made him a billionare.The loss of his sons and brother during Japan's invation is what led to the making of this fantasy land by balm billionare.An ideal location to take pictures where creatures are as big as or even bigger than humans,the Buddha statue, ten courts of hell , Jade house and the tomb-a colorful place this is. We then headed to Little India for exploring the shops out there and get the Indian feel.We visited the Perumal and Mariamman temples there.The Mariamman temple is about 150 years old but well maintained and expanded a beautiful place.

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...

Will miss u...

My car- the cute206 : 65533 , will be missed terribly...so many joyous thoughts and experiences with it and has been one of my best friends! Together we've seen so many characters with us, explored new places, bad days on the road and even all those jolly, traffic-free drives with co-incidentally great music on the radio....! Never once gave up on me, always always loved it! Truly will miss u! :-(
