We had Astro Boy for midnight supper on Saturday. Been waiting for it and well, at least it didn't disappoint me. In fact, I was pretty impressed that a cartoon
film can actually make good jokes, keeping Jingfu and I really entertained
throughout. (:
And did you know Nicholas Cage voiced Dr.Tenma? I failed to recognise him though I watch his shows so much. And Freddie Highmore (The boy in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory) was Toby! Viktor (in Underworld)... Dr.Elefun! That's something quite unexpected don't you think? Entirely different role and totally different image, fatherly uncle to Astro Vs. Ruthless Vampire in Underworld. Haa, interesting.
Before the film began, we killed time by walking around Lot1. It's scary how Jingfu and I are so addicted at playing those UFO catcher machines. We tried to limit ourselves but never did we keep to our budget by
saying make this the last game. But last night was one of the times we spent the most little. Yes, with actually less than five bucks, I caught Cookie Monster. This one is really cute, and don't you just want to say,
HA-HA-HA, when you see his big wide smile?
Today, Darling and I spent the afternoon at my place. He slept for hours while I did my stuff before we headed down to Vivo City for dinner as he wanted to have something special to eat. Before we filled out stomach, we were at Level 3 admiring the giant christmas tree out at their roof area. Under the night sky, it's really bright and glowing away.
Dinner was finally settled on Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant. For some reasons, we always end up at some HK cafes, like xinwang or streets. This time I would say it's really more worth the trip down, worth the money, worth the walkings around vivo, and worth the waiting.
It was like a set dinner thing that comes with a drink and a soup, where you choose from either cream or borsh. Baby had the white one (cream), while I took borsh just to try out both of their taste. And yes, HK cafe so it's definitely teh. Nothing very special here. What impressed the both of us was the cheesy baked rice that came along.
Mine was a fish fillet baked rice and his, some seafood combo i think. Basically, just very CHEESY. I would say it's really better than the ones I've had at Xinwang. The cheese and rice are soft, not
chaota like those you eat at other places as if they're overcooked. Jingfu's seafood, according to him, is fresh and tasty. And the fish fillet I've got is delicious too.
We kinda regretted ordering the Bacon and Cheese on potatoes, not because it's not nice, but we were really so full we couldn't take anymore starchy or carbo food! The cheese was so cheesy, it made us so full! But cos' I didn't want to waste the potatoes, I managed to squeeze it into my stomach, ensuring the last bit was savour down my throat.
By the time we finished eating, it was already kinda late. Slow walks to the station where we bid goodbye at Outram Park, it was more convenient for both of us instead of having him to send me back home all the way since it was going to be even later anyway.
I walked home from Hougang station, thinking yes I need exercise! I decided to be more strict on myself and not eat junk so much and unneccesarily, in fact I worked out last Friday with the Teck Ghee students. Perspire so much because I haven't kick for a long time due to the lousy-injured left leg, but at least that's my first step to something and hopefully it would help me NOT locking myself at home so much. :)
But just before we met up with him in the evening, we bombed the aracade with cash. Besides the big bag of sweets, we brought home with us, that cute tail, another tweeterbird, and doraemon. Don't you just feel like hugging him when you see that expression on his face, awww!
