food for thought (<- click here)

Yesterday when walking along north bridge road from city hall to bugis, I noticed a new restaurant along the row of shops just opp NLB. Cos was alone on my way to exercise and had no time for a fancy dinner, didn't manage to try anything here; but the menu sure looks good, especially the desserts! And the design of the shop window cum restaurant logo really appealed to me... it just felt so homely and cute. What I really liked about this place though (despite having not tried anything there) was the commitment to donate part of their profits to social causes they believe in... Not sure how this is done though, but I guess I can ask if I patronise this place some day ;) Isn't it cool though -- to run a business doing something you like; then doing your part for society at the same time.

I shall watch more TV

Tonight I finally got down to watching Grey's Anatomy after a 2 yr-hiatus.... it used to be the one and only show my roommate and I faithfully caught each week back in D.C.... ;P And I realised at the end of the episode how much I've been missing out...! There was also a guest star appearance by Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine. She's such a talented young actress... I really admire ppl who are so good at what they do; and clearly enjoy it.

I've also been catching bits of the 9pm drama on Channel 8... it's quite comical. I'm beginning to really like Joanne Peh's character. I've never thought Joanne Peh was particularly good, but thought she was not bad in this show. Very coincidentally, one of the TOs also told me last week during house visit that the market where Joanne Peh's character usually hangs out at is the Ghim Moh market opposite our SERS site. I didn't even realise ;P

Had dinner with a former colleague this evening and somehow realised that we've become better friends than we used to despite having far less in-person contact these days. It's not the only time I got to know ppl better ONLY after they 'leave' me. Haha perhaps I really warm up to ppl that slowly... ;P She also good-naturedly shared something uncannily timely... the importance of positive thinking and being more thick-skinned. Aiyah it's true lah, I just need to try harder... I guess I've been more demoralised than was really necessarily over certain things recently and need to avoid that in future.

On another random note, I walked away from That CD shop on Sunday memorising the name of a French oldie... C'est Si Bon! Hee I recently have a penchant for oldies but was too cheapo to buy the house cd with this song ;)
