What a wonderful holiday weekend...

Hehe, woke up really late on Saturday, only to go off with FredBear to buy some coffee at NorthPoint. We also picked up RoxBear to have some porridge with some kinda yau char kway. The porridge was quite good (we were starving, it was 2 pm) but the kway was a bit weird tasting. Picking up coffee beans in a little old building was kinda an experience, it was just a tiny office packed with paraphernalia and beans !! Freaky. But eye opening. Went to Taikoo and just randomly shopped around, went around in a bookstore and even managed to get my hands on a Godiva Dark Chocolate Decadence. Haha. First introduced to me last December in Singapore, it still tastes good, though I must say, the magic has worn off a little. Dinner was a buffet at Grand Hyatt with FredBear's family. Quite a place. Lobster, liver pate, mango salad, wagyu steaks, duck confit, and salmon rielle (I think). Yummy. Maybe a return there, in cooler months. Feeling really stuffed, we went for a massage later that night nearby.

Another really late start to the day on Sunday happened as expected, but it was fun, and cooked a breakfast of poached eggs, bacon, toast, and sausages with cherry tomatoes. Yummy. More lying about, with internet and television for myself, and CFA for FredBear....before we went out for a walk .. phew, fresh air ! I worked on rejuvenating my HSX portfolio and dinner was baby beef ribs with noodles. Quite yummy if I may say so. And a plan for a quiet evening did not happen as GABish and boyfriend came up to wait for some others to got for a drink at LKF. What happened instead was that the four of us got so engrossed into our mahjong game, that we decided to fly airplane and skip the drinks part. Besides it was really hot, and I think none of us wanted to brave the crowds. We ended up MJing until 6 am.

A short nap later, met SoBear for lunch at this Italian place in Soho. Had a grilled fish, SoBear had a angel-hair pasta, while FredBear had duck breast. Later, we lounged around at this other place, which had a cheese room attached, for some beer and small talk. Quite fun and relaxing. The area was pretty cool for the brunch scene too. Definitely a place to go too. Let me know if anyone is interested, I am personally quite interested to return there to discover more culinary secrets !

The rest of the day, just napped, watched tv, internet .. the usual. Read up a on a load of financial news - big things are happening, which is just as well, since work starts tomorrow (oh no..). At least now there are only 4 days left to the weekend.
