Went to Miramar Hotel with some friends for dinner. Chinese a-la-carte buffet. Food was ok. Some dishes were good, but a few were quite scary. We ordered some egg & scallop omelette thing and the egg just tasted wrong. We guessed they probably used those 'liquid egg' things. Yuck.

After dinner, we decided to take the MRT back so we walked along clarke quay. And that was when I saw something which was totally unbelievable. If you are familiar with Clarke Quay, they had put up these huge umbrella-like things which are supposed to help moderate the temperature around the place... make it cooler. From afar, they look ok. But some people think the umbrellas are an eyesore. Well, I've always seen them from afar. Tonight, I actually walked past them and could not believe how they actually looked! Underneath each umbrella is some ventilation-air-circulation thing. Just take a look at the pic below and tell me what you think it looks like! I mean... rows and rows of them! It's kinda shocking. Maybe we can start selling clarke quay as the holy land of fertility. sigh. Talk about lousy designs.



Then, we popped by meidi-ya, the japanese supermarket in Liang Court. Caught sight of the super expensive fruits. Yep... if you look closely at the pic below, you can see the cost of the grapes. The green ones cost S$99 for the box and the green ones cost S$45. Cheap eh? They better taste like droplets of heaven for that price!
