Truman Capote - such a talent

It started with the want to watch "breakfast at Tiffany's", my team leader who went on maternity leave talking about the way Capote writes, the way he writes about factual literature... And then I bought the DVD of "breakfast at tiffany's" and realise the literature implications, the reflection of society then, the controversy it must have caused.

Then it took one sick/injured/snuggled into bed moment to open up the compilation of Capote's literatures book that my team leader lent me, and started reading again... And there, I'm hooked... Starting on that book turned me to a Truman Capote fan.

I wont go into the details of Capote... so I will leave it to Wikipedia to be the tour guide... Come on, a little bit of reading is healthy... =)

Cicciolina... MMmmMMm...

Yummy... MMmmMMm... Yummo...

I finally understood why Cicciolina is Gracie Muchee's fav restaurant! Many a times Richard and I mean to try out the place. We have been told by various people it serves really good food... But since they allow no bookings and the few times we went and decided not to wait, the service was always good... The waiter is always friendly and apologise for the long waiting time and that its ok if we didn't want to wait, we can try again next time.

So last night, after making almond agar agar layed with fruit salad toss with diced rock melon, honeydew, watermelon, pineapple, pitted grapes & blueberries, topped with glaced cherries. One for Grace who made me barley water when I had flu, and the 2nd for my dear housemate Reubern and his sister who is on holidays... We went to try out Cicciolina again...

It was a Sunday, and it was 8.30pm and we asked the 1st waitress we saw, she said about 20 minutes and we said "YES"... anything beats the "1 hour" answer we always get... So we head to the restaurant's bar and had a drink while waiting. I ordered an amaretto on rocks and Richie had a glass of 2002 reserve red. in less than 20, the same waitress gave us a "boo" and pick us up to our table.

Entree for me is the cod soup with wilted spinach etc... Flavours so full its amazing... Entree for richie is a pink roasted duck... Main for Richie is beef cheeks, taste like the best fine dined stew you can imagine... Main for me is eye fillet layed on top of spinach on top of a cake of fried potatoe mash... But since we open a bottle of red and I been drinking my amaretto, bread as starters, drink all my soup, by the time I had my main, I was too full, so Richie had the priviledge to eat half my Main... hehe...

The food was sooooooooo goooooood... only way to make any of my friends imagine it is by saying:" I finally understood why its Gracie Muchee's Fav restaurant." Well, you will also need to know Gracie Baby to understand the depth of this statement.

Mmmmm... reminiscing...


We sat there! That table in view on the right.

Angelina Jolie

in the mist of firefox crashing on me, me having to force quit, and trying to watch all 5 part, msn messages etc... i had a great journey... it took me one hour thou... yeah... for something that really should last a little less than half an hour took me a little more than an hour...

Angelina Jolie.
One of the 2 actresses I admire. The 2nd is Charlize Theron. Both being such strong women.
The interview sounds really honest and raw. I think she has grown so much as a person in the last decade. The way she talks and the way she holds herself is quite different now and I still hold the opinion that she is such a great great person. To me it seems like light is blending in with her dark side now and she is in more control of herself. True growth of a person's inner self. What an amazing creature and what interesting life she leads. To be able to be the free teenager and then grown to be a responsible mother. To see the world and the pain of the world. That amazes me.

New me...

To further dis-prove Moobbit's yearly theory, this is another post.

Hello again~

My gosh... since 2005 i have not log on!!
My cirque du soleil frenzy... finally tried out the rouge tapas... VIP experience is worth every penny of it! Free flow of snack/finger food... 4-5 different assortments of olives... desserts... free flow of drinks and water by the bottles... they make really good mocha... hhmm... reminiscing VAREKAI... it is as comparable as ALEGRIA, but ALEGRIA still holds its place in my heart.

And as you can see, there is a new family member name Moby. Moby is a Beaglier. A fancy name they give beagle cross cavalier (king charles spaniel). So, i have The 3 Ms now.


So long farewell... n Moobbit, i dont think my next entry will be in 2008.
