Well as I said we went out for this nice lunch at this restaurant called Wild Rocket at Wilkie Road. It's right next to Mount Emily Park. I had some hazy memories of the area because I had visited Mount Emily Park before as part of my Sec 3 group's venerably outstanding IR project "Beautiful Places in Singapore". Haha that was a shitload of fun. Anyway the food is good if you are open-minded enough to appreciate fusion and you know what to order. The pastas are kinda hit-and-miss. The prawn pasta with Szechuan chilli sauce was mediocre but the beef spaghetti was absolutely stunning. As in I-can-eat-this-forever stunning. The ribeye was marvelous as well. The deserts were quite delightful, especially my chocolate gateau lava cake with vanilla ice-cream.  

Well after that we went home and our older grown-up cousin and her family came to visit. She married a Brit and her children are wonderfully extroverted and cute. My 5-year old nephew is also called Daniel and before he left he hugged my waist and gave me a high-five. I won't post his picture up because you'll die from his toddler good looks and oozing charisma. 

After that I accompanied my dad to Comex to buy him a laptop and it was a FREAKIN WARZONE. It was packed as hell with sweaty bodies but really if you need some serious new electronic gadgets/equipment (ie not cheap stuff like a ball mouse) you should check it out. The prices are constantly being slashed and the discounts are really attractive. Major, major discounts. Anyway my dad got a laptop costing 1.3k. I thought he needed something that was efficient and fast, but at the same time didn't need to be advanced because he's just using it for basic stuff like hotmail, pictures, powerpoint etc. It's not dual-core but it's good enough. Plus 4 gig ram. Like you need to be either seriously distracted or seriously multi-tasking to use that much.

Yeah now for some random pictures. First, tasty canele's chocolate royale cake for my sis' birthday. Oh lordy thinking about it gives me tummy spasms. 

 

Next - camwhore photos from my family excursions at the eco park.

Oho dad's got something to hide

Maria gets in on the act too. 

You know a lot of people have come over to my house and been totally petrified by the size of pete. Truth is he is the friendliest and most affectionate of the 3 dogs. He is a total darling with children. This is my niece playing with him.
