Where did the week go?

The week flew by in a snap.

Monday. Had dinner with friends at Miss U Cafe again. Finally got to try their Ham and Mushroom pizza... nice.

Tuesday. Tried Waraku at East Coast Park on Kerj's recommendation - not bad for the budget, worth going back to. Rained pots and pans.
Went to satisfy J's Awfully Chocolate craving: One pint of dark chocolate ice cream and half a kilogram of original chocolate cake. The Awfully Chocolate outlet at Joo Chiat was replaced by the one within Katong Mall.

Wednesday. Got hauled off to Ten-shin at Regent Hotel for dinner - hole-in-the-pocket pricy, serving refined (high-class) tempura. Great quality, great service, great big bill too - good thing I wasn't paying for it! Personally though, I still prefer Tsunahachi's (in Tokyo) no-nonsense approach to tempura, fantastic value there, pity about the need to fly. :(

Thursday. Mad logistics scramble at the office; had to step in to organize events for overseas visitors on short notice. Grabbed a quick bite at Mac's before dropping by to visit ducky's daughter who's down with pneumonia. Agonized over possibly having to cater for both vegetarian and no-seafood options for Friday's dinner with visitors. Worn out.

Friday. Meetings and more logistics scrambling. Roped Mozz and gang in to help with arranging the get-well delivery, and to think up dinner options. Finally found the chance to enquire about dietary requirements, just to discover that my vegetarian worries were completely unfounded. Settled on a Thai restaurant near the office for transport convenience. Realized too late that the dinner set didn't cater well for the no-seafood guest; had to make a special separate order. Note to self #1: ordering for twelve means way too much food for twelve. Note to self #2: Thai food, especially tom yum soup, is too spicy even for the Koreans. Completely knackered.

Saturday. Slept in late despite promising to try waking up for breakfast. Spent the rest of the day paying my rest debt buildup over the last two days.

I need a holiday.

Not that I'm going to get one any time soon. Especially not now.
