Keeping the OLD

Wonder what they are going to do with the old Capitol Theater. Walked pass it today and had a nostalgic feel as we stood there admiring it. Even though we may be too young to know, but the cinema that brought many couples together, that brought great entertainment then had created a vibrant hype for the movie industry in Singapore. Today the building looks old and abandoned. We are hoping that it will be restored to its formal glory and the passion it once brought.

Let's strike!

For our big dreams and goals ahead, we decided to try our hand at 4D today. Think it is an art to master the mechanics behind getting the right number, the bet placed and the feng shui of the 4D outlet. It took us about 15mins to even get the form filled up right (see how novice we are in this sport? ha). But what the heck, we got our number and hopefully we have the luck. Go go go!

As Tears Go By - Marianne Faithful

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
My riches can’t buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.







California Dreams - Mamas & Papas

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didnt tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
(California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
(California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

To be IN and be SEEN

Everytime I explore a new place with D, I would hope to bring Water the next time she returns.

We were at Dempsey Hill last weekend, the latest place to be in and be seen in Singapore. It consists of restaurants, cafes, pubs, gourmet stores and a spa. To bring it all closer to Water, we took some pictures to entice her taste buds and as well as to make her come back "home" soon.

D loved the fabulous Jones the Grocer which have a wide selection of gourmet goodies and variety of cook's favorite tools. It ranges from chocolates, ice-creams, baking stuff, herb plants and not forgetting the one and only cheese room in Singapore! I think it is a great place for a girls' hang out in the afternoon enjoying the updates with a cuppa and biscottis.

We dropped by at Ben & Jerry's which co-joint with a mini cafe, CA. Great place for kids as well as ice-cream lovers. I love the aesthetics.... nice, warm and homely.




Our last stop was Barracks at the House . This was only after an unpleasant time at La Forketta, an italian restaurant (insisting an order of SGD28 per pax when all we wanted was to share a pizza) that made us find our way to Barracks. It was nevertheless a pleasant surprise. We came into a quiet place not knowing we were already in the restaurant. The interior was somewhat comfortable and easily made one feel at ease.

The staff were wearing army barracks uniform which reminds me of some summer bootcamp. Where we sat overlooked lots of greenery. I also spotted a nice enclosed glasshouse which seems great for a christmas dinner party with my girlfriends! But the food did not impressed me though D loved his fish and chips. Will give it another try next time!

Look at the menu and the featured artist of the month, Arlene Rienebe!

Nice view... ...

Fish & Chips with Truffle Chips

Cheeky Veal

Besides all that were mentioned, some outlets worth mentioning are Culina Gourmet Shop cum Cafe and Margaritas, a Mexican restaurant. I can't wait to try out the spa at the House with the wonderful nature surrounding them.

Now that accessibility is made easier to Dempsey Road, I see myself heading there more often!
